Chapter 138 Honeycomb Sword Formation
Chapter 138 Honeycomb Sword Formation
The formations that Lin Feng mentioned were all part of daily training, and everyone could understand them at a glance.
Only Wei Zhen was a little confused.
Lin Feng waved his hand and asked a few people to quickly make arrangements, leaving only Wei Zhen behind.
"General Wei, just follow me. I'll let someone else command your troops."
Wei Zhen had been pushing the carriage for half the night and was already exhausted, even mentally exhausted.
"Okay, Lin Feng, whatever you say is what it is."
The entire army began to move, each team was led by a captain, and they found their positions according to the plan and started construction.
What Lin Feng called the honeycomb sword formation was actually a honeycomb-like hole dug outside the original sword formation of thirty people.
Every half a step, the soldiers used a shovel to dig a hole about one foot deep, and the entire sword formation was arranged about two meters long.
The beehive was about ten steps away from the soldiers in formation.
Of course, Lin Feng’s requirement is that the width of the honeycomb should be extended as much as possible.
Dig as much as you can, two zhang is the basic width.
This thing is the most deceptive cavalry to the Tartars.
The Tatar cavalry was known as the Iron Cavalry, and naturally relied on their horsemanship to dominate the borders of the great empires.
Once they lose the help of their warhorses, their combat effectiveness will be reduced by 50%.
In last night's battle, the 900-man army lost half of its crossbow arrows and had no chance to recover them.
Therefore, Lin Feng prepared to use a sword formation to fight against the large Tatar army.
Of course, the remaining crossbow arrows were also evenly distributed among the sword formations.
In the initial engagement, crossbows were still needed to suppress the Tatars' offensive momentum.
Under the morning sun, the vast plain was filled with soldiers working hard to dig holes.
Although exhausted, facing a life-and-death battle, one must muster the remaining strength to fight for one's life.
Eight hundred soldiers were divided into nearly thirty battle teams and spread out in the wilderness.
The grand scene made Lin Feng, who was observing from horseback, amazed.
Nearly a hundred Tatar cavalry followed them all night.
It was only at dawn that I saw the spectacular sight before my eyes.
They immediately stood at a distance, staring blankly at the large number of soldiers busying around, not knowing what they were doing.
Wei Zhen was also stunned for a while before he asked in a low voice.
"Lin Feng, aren't you spreading your battle too thin?"
"It's to disperse the Tartars' power."
"But they're not stupid, so why would they voluntarily disperse their combat power?"
"The Tartars are conceited, especially their individual soldiers, who are highly skilled and like to fight on their own. This is a habit that is difficult to change."
Wei Zhen was dissatisfied: "Doesn't the Tartar commander know how to control his men?"
"Haha, the Tartar commander is even more arrogant than ever. Have you ever come into contact with Tartar bronze armor?"
When Wei Zhen heard Lin Feng's question, his face turned red.
Since the Tartars invaded the Dazong border, the border troops have been defeated and their camps have been in ruins all the way.
Anyone who has come into contact with the Tartar bronze armor is basically dead.
The young officer in front of him was the only person Wei Zhen knew who could kill the Tartar bronze armor.
He really has reason to be proud. Even I, a General of Cavalry, pale in comparison to him.
Lin Feng felt Wei Zhen's silence and embarrassment.
"Don't overthink it. I just want to say that the Tartar Bronze Armor will not restrict the way their subordinates attack. They only want to kill the enemy and do not allow any living resistance."
Wei Zhen paused for a moment and said solemnly.
"The destructive power of the Tartar bronze armor is astonishing. Have you figured out how to deal with it?"
"Don't worry, the Tartars don't have many bronze armors. Let me sacrifice the sword."
Lin Feng's tone made Wei Zhen very uncomfortable, and he felt that he was a useless soldier.
"Let him have a taste of my spear."
"Have you had enough of being a cavalry general?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I want to advance to the next level and become a general."
"Why, can't I?"
"Of course you can. As long as you rush to Bronze Armor, this goal will be achieved."
"So Easy?"
"Yes, but this great general..."
"what happened?"
"It will be a posthumous title."
Wei Zhen instantly flew into a rage: "Lin Feng, you look down on me, General. I'll show you if I can kill the bronze-armored Tartars in battle!"
Lin Feng smiled and stopped talking.
Because he heard the sound of horse hooves.
According to the amplitude and frequency, Lin Feng began to suck his teeth.
Damn, if the Tartars are serious this time, I'm afraid they'll have more than a thousand cavalry.
Wei Zhen was still angry and pulled Lin Feng's arm.
"Tell me, do you look down on me?"
"coming."
"What's coming?"
"The Tartars are coming."
Wei Zhen glanced around in confusion, then frowned and listened carefully.
"No, where are the Tartars? How many are there?"
"Between fifteen and two thousand."
"Ah! So many!?"
Lin Feng shouted in a deep voice: "All teams, prepare yourself. Move forward and you will survive. Never retreat until you die!"
As his shout slowly spread to the soldiers in the distance.
Finally, they shouted in unison: "Move forward and you will live, never retreat until you die!"
The sound was dull, stirring up the dust on the ground.
Accompanied by a heart-shaking roar, a black mass of cavalry appeared in the distance.
Nearly a hundred Tatar cavalrymen who had been guarding in the distance quickly rushed towards the oncoming cavalry.
The large group of people stopped three hundred steps away from the sword formation.
At the moment, a Tartar knight wearing bronze armor trotted forward for a distance and immediately observed.
Lin Feng's sword formation was square in shape, with each soldier standing five steps apart, appearing to be standing very scattered.
The distance between the sword formations is fifty steps.
Nearly thirty sword formations formed a large area.
The bronze-armored Tartar sneered as he sat on his horse.
This formation is most suitable for his cavalry attack.
This was the first time he had seen such a scattered team.
I don’t know which stupid leader of a group created such a weird team.
He looked at it for a moment, then without hesitation, raised a hand.
He shouted a few words loudly.
In an instant, the cavalry brigade behind Tongjia started to move and trot forward.
As the bronze-armored Tartar waved his hands apart.
A large group of Tatar cavalry also dispersed and shouted excitedly to speed up their horses.
Lin Feng just stared coldly at the bronze-armored Tartar.
Once the sword formation was formed, his command was no longer needed, and the team was completely controlled by Jia Zheng, the leader.
The Tatar cavalry rushed towards the large group of soldiers standing in square formation, and their horses reached their maximum speed at fifty paces.
The Bronze-armored Tartar and Lin Feng, the commanders of both sides, were waiting for the moment to engage the enemy.
The sound of horse hooves roared and dust filled the sky.
The visual impact of the Tatar cavalry scattered all over the mountains and wilds was very severe for the soldiers. Many soldiers who participated in such a battle for the first time were trembling all over and their legs were so weak that they could not stand steadily.
Each armor was shouting loudly, asking the old soldiers to stand in the front.
The first Tatar cavalryman rushed into the beehive. The warhorse had just taken two steps when its two front hooves stepped into the holes.
The speed was too fast, and there was no time to pull out the hoof, and the huge body of the horse flipped forward.
The Tartar on horseback was thrown into the air and rolled towards the front of the sword formation.
The three members of the sword formation took a few steps forward and swung their swords at the Tartars.
The team member in the middle was even more straightforward. He raised his long sword and waited for the Tartar to fall on the tip of the sword.
The Tartar who fell out died before he even hit the ground.
The cavalry behind him fell one after another, and the Tatars on horseback performed the same scene.
The Tatar cavalry following closely behind were tripped by a sudden change in front of them and had no time to adjust their direction.
Suddenly, the entire vast battlefield was filled with people and horses falling to the ground, and screams of pain were heard.
As soon as they engaged the enemy, the Tatars lost countless cavalry.
Because the holes were dug so densely, not a single warhorse escaped the fate of being overturned.
The Tatar cavalry that followed had to turn around and charge elsewhere.
The bronze-armored Tartar was stunned on the spot.
Lin Fengze's mouth curled up slightly, and he felt greatly relieved.
He glanced at Wei Zhen and saw that he was still in a daze.
Then he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and started running towards the bronze-armored Tartars.
