"Why can't they let us pass?!" People always had a sense of contrast, and it was also a bad habit. They didn't consider that Liu Mang was risking their lives by letting them pass. They also didn't consider that Liu Mang had no choice but to let them pass. They only knew that Liu Mang let the people in front of them block them and let them die!
Therefore, there were really people who wanted to attack the square formation.
Liu Mang's eyes were cold. Since you want to die, don't blame me. In fact, they had a third choice, which was to build a defensive line with the City Guard. The Yu Province Cavalry's main target was the City Guard. If they let them go, they could live. However, since they didn't want to and insisted on attacking the square formation, then they should prepare to die!
"Kill!" Liu Mang didn't hesitate to give the order.
"Pfft! Pfft! "Another pile of corpses. These supply troops were finally scared. Some of them stood aside obediently to help the City Guard build a defensive line. Some of them were so scared that they fell to the ground in despair. Those who didn't resist at all would definitely die.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Zhang Kai's Yu Province Cavalry charged. The first unlucky ones were the supply troops who gave up resisting. Blood and minced meat turned into pieces in the flood of cavalry. One by one, fresh lives disappeared.
"Boom, boom!" Liu Mang finally knew the power of cavalry in the era of cold weapons. The feeling of an earthquake was enough to make people tremble with fear, not to mention the cavalry's killing.
Liu Mang saw that many of the City Guard's faces were filled with panic and fear. They were new recruits, and this was their first time on the battlefield.
Liu Mang was also afraid. This was a battlefield, a war. If you don't die, I will live. Liu Mang forced himself to be calm. He couldn't panic. If he panicked, it would all be over. A general was the soul of an army. If Liu Mang panicked, the City Guard would be wiped out.
Liu Mang gritted his teeth and said, "Have you forgotten our oath?! Have you forgotten our slogan?! We'll fight to the death with the Duke of Riches and Honor. This is our first battle. Don't tell me you're going to chicken out at the very beginning of the battle? Don't tell me that you've forgotten our oath once the war starts! "
"We live and die together, we share riches and honor together! We live and die together, and we share riches and honor together! " Chengyu led the Personal Guards and shouted. The atmosphere was contagious. If they didn't die in fear, they would go crazy in fear. The City Guard also roared, "We live and die together, we share riches and honor together! We live and die together, and we share wealth and honor together! "
Liu Mang smiled when he saw the City Guard's courage. "Come on, come on!"
Liu Mang waved his hand. "First row, raise your shields. Second row, raise your spears! Three rows of spears ready! Draw your bow after the fourth row! "
"The Lvbu's Army is so weak!" Zhang Kai charged into the supply camp and became arrogant. "Kill! Kill! Kill! Lü Fengxian is nothing compared to me, Zhang Kai! "
Zhang Kai didn't even put the City Guard's formation in his eyes. "A mere thousand people dare to stop my Yuzhou Cavalry! Brat, your head is mine! " Zhang Kai looked down from his horse and saw Liu Mang's figure in the middle of the formation. Zhang Kai coveted the glory of killing a general on the battlefield.
"Brothers, charge! They are the glory and wealth! Haha!" Zhang Kai howled.
"One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and forty steps, one hundred and thirty steps, one hundred and twenty steps, one hundred and eighty steps!" Liu Mang fiercely shouted.
Following Liu Mang's order, a rain of arrows filled the sky. Other than the Personal Guards, the first row of Giant Shield Soldiers, and the second and third rows of Long Spear Soldiers, the rest of the City Guard had a longbow in their hands. Moreover, it was a dense cavalry charge. They didn't even need to aim to hit the enemy.
"Damn it!" Zhang Kai used the large saber in his hand to deflect one arrow after another. He was a military general, so he could only protect himself in this rain of arrows! Carelessly, an arrow directly nailed into his flesh. "Ah ah ah!" The piercing pain from the arrow made him cry out. Zhang Kai was indeed a ruthless person. His arm was pierced by the flying arrow, but he gritted his teeth and pulled it out. Blood gushed out, but Zhang Kai didn't care. Stimulated by the blood, he became even more bloodthirsty.
Zhang Kai was able to deflect the flying arrows, but the other cavalrymen beside him were not as good at martial arts as him. One by one, they were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses.
"How dare you!" Zhang Kai's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this. These cavalry soldiers were his subordinates, and also his capital for future promotions. Now, in an instant, no less than a hundred of them had fallen off their horses and been trampled to death!
"Charge! I'm going to tear that general apart! "Zhang Kai roared madly.
The cavalry's speed was very fast to begin with. A hundred steps were covered in an instant.
"Kill them!" The bloodthirsty look on Zhang Kai's face deepened. With every step forward, a Yu Province cavalryman would die. This had seriously stimulated Zhang Kai.
"Boom!" The torrent of cavalrymen directly bombarded the front row of the City Guard's giant shields. The momentum of the horses caused the giant shield soldiers to stagger. Fortunately, there were spearmen behind them.
"Pu pu pu!" Like a skewer of candied haws, the 2.8m long spears pierced through the charging cavalrymen one after another and nailed them to the front.
The first row of giant shield soldiers also suffered heavy losses. With the protection of the giant shields, the cavalrymen couldn't hurt the giant shield soldiers. However, the momentum of the horses caused internal injuries. Several giant shield soldiers were caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The blood was mixed with pieces of flesh. These were pieces of internal organs.
"The second row, abandon the spears. Use the spears instead of the giant shields!" Liu Mang roared again. Once the first row of giant shield soldiers was injured, the spearmen at the back would replace them and raise their giant shields to block the cavalry's charge.
"The third row of spearmen, press forward! The fourth row, prepare to throw your bows and raise your spears! " The second row of spears were all stabbed. The cavalrymen could no longer perform, so they decisively abandoned them. The third row of spearmen pressed forward.
"What kind of battle formation is this?!" Zhang Kai wasn't stupid. When his vanguard troops came into contact with the Lvbu's Army, not only did they not tear open a huge gap as he imagined, but the vanguard's charge was also blocked. The battlefield was in a state of anxiety.
The giant shields and spears in front of the cavalrymen were like mountains blocking in front of them.
The wailing of the war horses and the casualties made the entire battlefield appear miserable.
"Charge, charge. Charge! " Zhang Kai gritted his teeth. The loss of the Yu Province cavalry made his heart ache, but he had to charge. He could see that although the battle formation in front of him blocked his cavalrymen's charge, it had a huge shortcoming, and that was the lack of manpower. Generally, 2,000 cavalrymen could suppress 10,000 infantrymen. Even the heavy infantrymen could only exchange one with the cavalrymen! Moreover, the cavalrymen had mobility. It wasn't something that the infantrymen could replace.
Although Zhang Kai couldn't break the battle formation formed by the other side, he knew that the other side had fewer people. The charge of the war horses would break through the defense line sooner or later. How could less than 1,000 people stop 2,000 cavalrymen?
Not to mention that there were 3,000 Chen Lan soldiers on the flank of the battle formation.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The cavalrymen charged again and again, and the City Guard withstood the attacks again and again.
"Hold on, hold on!" Liu Mang was also risking his life. If the cavalrymen tore open a gap, none of them would be able to survive.
"Kill!" On the side road, the Chen Lan army finally ran to the foot of the mountain. The 3,000 troops rushed to the City Guard from the flank. If they joined forces with the cavalrymen in front of them, the City Guard would die!
"Chengyu, you stay here and command the brothers!" Liu Mang pulled the reins of his horse and shouted. "Guards, follow me to face the enemy!" Now, he could only use the 100 guards. 100 against 3,000! Hahaha, Liu Mang already know what the result will be. But Liu Mang has no choice. This is a battle that cannot be won. All he needs to do is to stall for time so that Bagongshan's Boss Lu can send troops to rescue him.
"General, you are the commander of the army! How can you face the enemy by yourself? Let me go! " Chengyu knew that even if 100 cavalrymen met 3,000 infantrymen, they would still die. As the commander of the army, how could he take the risk?
"You just stay here! As long as you resist, I will not die! Guards, charge! "Liu Mang raised the long sword in his hand and was the first to charge toward the Chen Lan army.
