Chapter 56 Elite Showdown
Zhang Lang looked at the impressive and well-trained Jiangdong Army and secretly marveled. He felt that the Sun family of Jiangdong was really extraordinary and could train such a powerful army. No wonder they could compete with others in the late Eastern Han Dynasty when all heroes came together!
Woo...! Woo...!...The horns of the Xiliang Army sounded loudly in a long rhythm, like the roar of a beast.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lang saw the 10,000 Xiliang cavalry arrayed in front of the formation slowly moving forward, and a terrifying murderous aura suddenly spurted out, covering his entire army!
Zhang Lang secretly exclaimed: How awesome! With such momentum, there is no doubt that he must be a true iron-blooded elite! In terms of momentum alone, it seems to be still above Jiangdong Army!
In Zhang Lang's opinion, although the Jiangdong Army was also a well-trained elite division, compared with the Xiliang Army, it lacked the killing spirit to sweep across the world!
The killing spirit cannot be trained, it must be tempered through hundreds of battles and countless bloody battles!
At this moment, Zhang Lang suddenly understood why the eighteen princes in history who attacked Dong Zhuo could not completely defeat him in the end, but allowed Dong Zhuo to retreat to Chang'an safely. With such an elite man in hand, no one dared to say
Can destroy them!
Just when Zhang Lang's thoughts were slightly distracted, the ground began to tremble, and the rumble was like thunder!
Zhang Lang came back to his senses and saw that the 10,000 Xiliang cavalry had already charged, like a violent hurricane that swept up the dust and sand in the sky and swept towards this side! The momentum was shocking!
Sun Jian shouted sternly: "Crossbowmen, fire your arrows!"
Following his loud shout, the crossbowmen who had long been ready fired their arrows together, only to hear the sound of bow strings, and a dark cloud seemed to suddenly rise in the sky, flying straight towards the wave of Xiliang cavalry in front!
But at this moment, a scene that was beyond Zhang Lang's expectation appeared. Those Xiliang cavalry who were charging at full speed suddenly disappeared from their horses. Tens of thousands of war cavalry instantly turned into ten thousand war horses running at full speed!
Zhang Lang was stunned, and then he understood that those Xiliang cavalry were extremely skilled in riding, and they must have rolled under their horses during the charge to avoid the shots of the Jiangdong Army's archers.
In an instant, a rain of arrows fell into the middle of Xiliang's cavalry, and there was a loud crackling sound. Some horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming!
In the blink of an eye, a wave of arrows passed by, but the charge of the Xiliang cavalry did not seem to be affected in any way. Thousands of troops were still charging at full speed!
At this moment, the Xiliang warriors who had fallen under the horse's belly climbed on the horse's back one by one. They controlled the horse with their legs while galloping, leaving their hands free to fire arrows at the coalition forces!
Countless arrows flew into the center of the coalition forces. The crossbowmen of the Jiangdong Army who were preparing for the second round of volley were suddenly shot and rolled around on the ground, and screams were heard!
After sending out a wave of arrows, those Xiliang cavalry immediately put down their bows and arrows, grabbed their horses, straightened their horses, shouted wildly, and launched the final charge!
I saw thousands of troops and horses surging like a tidal wave, and the horses' brilliance connected into a piece, like a storm of sharp blades pushing across!
The shield hand of Jiangdong Army took a bow, held the shield tightly with both hands, put all his strength on the shield, and was ready to face the impact!
In the blink of an eye, the wave of iron hoofs slammed into Jiangdong Army's defense line, and the huge sound instantly echoed between heaven and earth, like a stormy wave crashing on the shore!
Many Jiangdong Army shieldmen could not withstand such an impact and were knocked away. The Xiliang cavalry immediately rushed in through these opened gaps!
At this moment, the Xiliang army was like tigers and wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, killing their opponents crazily. All they saw were swords and guns dancing wildly in the crowd, and blood raining all over the sky!
The Jiangdong officers and soldiers were beaten until they fell to the ground with blood splattered on them, but more Jiangdong officers and soldiers rushed forward howling!
The man holding a long knife slashed at the horse's hooves with his sword, causing the Xiliang cavalry to fall down one after another; the man holding a spear stabbed wildly at the Xiliang cavalry, causing the Xiliang cavalry to flip over! The scene was filled with people and figures, making it extremely chaotic.
And intense!
Jiangdong's infantry and Xiliang's cavalry crowded together, frantically attacking and killing their opponents without giving in to each other. Amidst the surging crowds, the terrifying sounds of fighting and screams went straight into the sky!
The Xiliang cavalry let out bursts of shouts and urged their horses wildly in the crowd. They actually ran in the crowded crowd and launched a charge together! The iron hooves rolled and rushed forward, and the powerful force immediately hit the Jiangdong Army infantry in front of them one by one.
fall!
The iron hoofs trampled on the bodies of Jiangdong's officers and soldiers and they continued to charge forward. The screams of Jiangdong's officers and soldiers were combined with the terrible sound of their bones and flesh being crushed by the iron hoofs. It was thrilling!
The officers and soldiers of Jiangdong were frightened and angry, rushing towards their opponents howling one after another. The waves of soldiers rushed forward bravely, trying to block the charge of the Xiliang cavalry! At this moment, everyone seemed to be in a state of madness!
However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was already running among the crowd, gathering into a torrent, becoming more and more fierce, crushing Jiangdong Army's counterattacks one after another, and as the momentum of the charge became more and more powerful, it seemed as if they were going to overwhelm Jiangdong Army from within.
!
Sun Jian held the ancient ingot knife tightly, eyes widened as he looked at the increasingly worse battle situation in front of him, and said with hatred: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry! I still underestimated them after all!"
Then he shouted to the people around him: "The front army blocks the attack, and the rest of the army retreat immediately!" Sun Jian planned to temporarily avoid the front, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, just like his strategy not long ago.
But at this moment, a huge chaotic sound came from the front! Sun Ren pointed ahead with a shocked expression and shouted: "Dad, look!..."
Sun Jian quickly looked forward, and was shocked to see that the former army collapsed under the fierce charge of the Xiliang cavalry. Thousands of officers and soldiers were like sandbanks washed away by the flood, being carried forward by the wave of the opponent's cavalry.
Sweeping in here!
Sun Jian was shocked and shouted: "No!"
The situation in front of me is one of the situations that infantry are most afraid of when facing cavalry. The front army, which is the main support, is completely overwhelmed by the opponent's cavalry. The consequences are absolutely unimaginable!
No matter how brave the Jiangdong officers and soldiers were, they couldn't help but feel panicked and frightened at this moment. Faced with the torrent of iron hoofs from their opponents that completely overwhelmed their own defense line, the former officers and soldiers subconsciously began to turn around and run away!
The fleeing officers and soldiers crashed into the middle of the Chinese army, causing the Chinese army to waver. The situation was extremely critical for Jiangdong Army!
Hua Xiong laughed loudly and shouted: "Sun Jian, I, Hua Xiong, will take off your head today!"
The chaos in Jiangdong's army quickly spread to the entire army and was out of control. Sun Nuoguoda decided to give up and shouted: "The whole army retreats!"
The fighting spirit of tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops collapsed, and they turned around and ran backwards. They were defeated like a mountain and it was irreversible! The fleeing officers and soldiers were constantly overtaken by the wolf-like warriors, and they were chopped down in a pool of blood.
The shrill screams echoed one after another on this chaotic battlefield!
However, Sun Jian and the others had not run very far when they were surprised to find that the enemy army did not continue to pursue them. He could not help but rein in his horse and looked back. He was shocked to see that the Xiliang cavalry, which had been so unstoppable just now, was actually blocked by an army.
Already!?
Everyone's face showed surprise.
Chapter completed!
