C701 - Falling Blade Cliff Strike -(5)

1Although he didn't know the background of this team that suddenly appeared in front of him, judging from the uniform charge of the Guard of Lo Capital, Ator could smell a strong scent of conspiracy from it. From Profound Gate Pass to Falling Blade Cliff, all the places that passed by. Saltus had sent out spies to scout for information, but before they fought all the way to the bottom of Falling Blade Cliff, he had never heard that there were so many troops stationed in the northern half of Great Wei.

It had to be said that as a people of the grassland, the Barbarian Clan was a country where all women and children were soldiers. The military's combat attainment was still much higher than Great Wei's. Although the heavy cavalry under Chen Zhihu had gained a lot of advantages in the first wave of attack, the army of the Barbarian Clan did not suffer a setback because of this. Instead, they quickly reacted, except for those soldiers who were seriously injured and could not continue to fight in the first wave of attack. The rest of the soldiers retreated as fast as they could and left the battlefield. They formed a neat square formation according to the usual battle formation.

The light cavalry, who were like cutting melons and cutting vegetables, were behind the soldiers of Barbarian Clan in a square formation. To their surprise, they found that the combat strength of these soldiers had increased by a lot. Because Ator had ordered them to advance at full speed, the troops of Barbarian Clan were moving forward side by side with a few thousand people. But now, after the Barbarian Soldier changed formation, there were only a few hundred people left standing in front of the light cavalry. But the thickness of the formation had increased a lot.

Although the heavy cavalry charging into the formation could still cause quite a bit of damage to the Barbarian Clan's infantry, there was a high possibility that they would never return. With this, after having some misgivings, the momentum of the Great Wei's soldiers that had just been gathered suddenly dissipated by quite a bit.

However, Yang Xuan had once fought with the Barbarian Clan's troops outside Profound Gate Pass for an entire year. He was already very familiar with the various formations and means of the Barbarian Clan. Therefore, this sudden change of formation was already within Yang Xuan's expectation. Naturally, he had also come up with a countermeasure.

After the Barbarian Clan's troops changed their formation, the heavy cavalry's troops also quickly retreated.

The standard weapons used by Great Wei's cavalry, apart from soldiers who were good at using swords and sabers, were also weapons used by Great Wei's cavalry. ... Most of the cavalry used long spears. Although it was called a long spear, it looked more like an extra long iron spear with two extra ears on both sides. These two wooden ears were used to prevent cavalry from attacking infantry. If the enemy soldiers held swords and swords in their hands, there will be a situation where the edge of the blade will go up along the shaft of the spear and cause damage to the cavalry.

And with this wooden support, if the swords and sabers cut into the wooden support, it was not easy to pull it out. But other than that, the wooden support could still be manually disassembled. After the wooden support was removed, the spear became a standard ordinary spear.

In Ator's eyes, Great Wei's soldiers suddenly and uniformly removed the best defensive wooden support when attacking from above. He was immediately puzzled. But the following scene made him break out in a cold sweat.

The cavalry had already increased the distance between him and the barbarians by more than 100 meters. Then... The soldiers in the front row raised their spears high and threw them into the square formation of Barbarian Clan. And judging from their throwing techniques, they did not pursue precision. Instead, they pursued the furthest distance and the greatest penetrative force.

For a moment, the spears in the sky fell like raindrops. They flew towards the square formation of the Barbarian Clan. Although the landing point of these spears was not very accurate, it also happened when two spears were inserted into a soldier's body at the same time. Some of the spears even landed on the ground outside the square formation, and the spears pierced straight into the ground.

But even so, after a round of spear rain, under the cover of over a thousand long spears, the Barbarian Soldier still paid the price of nearly three thousand people losing their ability to fight. However, the cavalry did not seem to have the intention of chasing after the victory. After obtaining the result, they turned around and ran in another direction.

Although the soldiers of Barbarian Clan wanted to counterattack the army of Great Wei after suffering a blow, however, because of the high mobility of the cavalry, the soldiers of Barbarian Clan did not succeed. When their infantry tried to chase after the cavalry, the cavalry had already moved to the side of the square formation.

Ator immediately frowned and cursed the commander of this army from Great Wei in his heart. He lowered his head and began to think. It had to be said that this plan of Great Wei was really brilliant. Although the combat strength of the Barbarian Clan's soldiers was not bad, they had been fighting for several days in the Falling Blade Cliff. Their spirits had already been tensed up, and it was inevitable that they would make mistakes because of this.

However, he did not dare to order his infantry troops to reorganize their formation, because he knew that... After Great Wei's troops had succeeded in that attack, if he still dared to be rash like before... These cavalry would not hesitate to launch a second round of spear rain attacks on Barbarian Clan's troops.

However, the situation had not reached an irreparable stage.

Ator's lips curled up into a smile as he coldly looked at these soldiers in front of him. Although the infantry of Barbarian Clan had suffered a heavy blow in the battle just now, one should know that... The Barbarian Clan were all from the grasslands, so their most prized force was naturally not these infantry. Instead, it was the heavy cavalry riding on their horses.

Thinking of this, Ator became even more confident. Although the heavy cavalry didn't have a lot of people, each of them was an expert who could fight ten opponents at the same time. The army of Great Wei had always been at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. As long as Ator's heavy cavalry was given a chance, if they could form a square formation and launch an attack, they would naturally be able to pull back the previous disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Ator waved his hand and called for his adjutant. He said to him, "Pass down my order. Let Loong Qi lead his heavy cavalry and find a good position. Next, I will let the infantry fight as the vanguard. As long as the army of Great Wei dares to fight, charge at full speed. "

"Yes!"

At this moment, the Barbarian Clan was in a very bad situation. Naturally, the adjutant knew about this fact. After hearing Ator's order, he hurriedly ran towards the back.

Ator calmly looked at the army of Great Wei not far away. He couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

Although the army of Barbarian Clan seemed to have the upper hand in the battle from Profound Gate Pass all the way to Falling Blade Cliff, it seemed like the army of Barbarian Clan had been gaining the upper hand. However, Ator knew that the defending army of Profound Gate Pass had suffered a great loss during the first exchange of blows. In fact, they had already preserved most of their strength. As for the four hundred thousand troops of Barbarian Clan, although they looked menacing, they were influenced by various factors. Unknowingly, they had already lost more than 300 thousand men.
