Chapter 276: If you can’t fight, you have to fight (Online update)

Chen Ying started his career with more than 1,500 hook and sickle gunmen in the Right Guard of the East Palace. In his eyes, hook and sickle guns were his closest companions.

The two wings of the cavalry formation, the wing arrow formation or the fish scale formation, are all objects that can be crushed in Chen Ying's eyes. However, the hook and sickle lance cavalry is not without opponents. For example, Liu Heita is now lined up in a dense spear formation. Looking at the thickness of the spear formation, there are at least 20,000 people. Using the hook and sickle lance cavalry to attack the spear formation is a way of defeat. Although the final victory must be the hook and sickle lance cavalry, the hook and sickle lance cavalry will also suffer heavy losses.

However, Liu Heita played a trick. If the spearmen were ranked first, it would certainly reduce the losses. However, Chen Ying was not a fool. The spearmen had great power in melee combat, especially the restraining cavalry charge, but they had a fatal weakness, which could only attack close and not shoot from a distance. If Liu Heita dared to rank the spearmen at the front, Chen Ying would definitely not hesitate to let the Shooting Army come on the field, and thousands of crossbowmen could definitely shoot these spears into doubting their lives.

In front, the sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen were lined up at the front to cover the staggered sprite formation. Chen Yingxia led the hook and sickle cavalry to sweep towards the sword and shield soldiers and crossbows that were originally broken. Just like driving away the flock of sheep, driving the defeated Xia army and rushing towards the staggered sprite formation of Xia army.

It feels quite like using my spear to attack my shield.

Since the Warring States Period, cavalry can restrain infantry with their mobile advantages. As early as the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, Bai Qi used 25,000 Qin cavalry to raid the retreat of the 400,000 Zhao army under Zhao Kuo, and blocked the return of the 400,000 Zhao army with 25,000 cavalry. In this way, he forced the 400,000 Zhao army into a desperate situation and finally surrendered helplessly.

The cooperation between the crossbowmen and the spearmen is the nightmare for the cavalry, especially the hook and sickle lances. In order to pursue the power of the impact, cavalry shooting was sacrificed, so that kind of formation was the most troublesome problem for Chen Ying. However, the Xia army's spearmen without the cover of the crossbowmen also became the flesh in Chen Ying's eyes.

Countless Xia soldiers who were scared to death were so scared that they looked pale, and they only hated their parents for having two legs. They ran towards their own spearmen involuntarily.

The legs of these Xia army soldiers naturally could not run through the four legs of the cavalry. However, these Xia army soldiers also understood that they did not need to run over war horses, they just needed to run over their comrades.

Liu Heita was also a ruthless man. When he saw Chen Ying expelling his own defeated soldiers and attacking the phalanx of the spearmen, he immediately ordered: "Distract from left to right, hurry!"

The Xia army's left and right wings were arranged with various large and large chariots. Although it was impossible to compare with side chariots, it was possible to restrain the cavalry's charge. These large chariots were not connected into one, but three or five large chariots, one in the east and one in the west, just like dense graves.

Infantry can use these chaotic gaps to shuttle freely. However, the cavalry under Chen Ying's command had no choice. As the saying goes, the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to change direction. The cavalry of the cavalry cannot freely shuttle in the center of the chaotic convoy like the defeated soldiers.

The order was issued, but the key point was that Liu Heita found that these defeated soldiers did not obey his orders at all.

These frightened Xia army defeated soldiers, like headless wings, ran around everywhere. Who can care about Liu Heita's orders?

Under such circumstances, the Xia army commanders holding spears and spears were immediately entangled. Their robes that were swarming in were about to hit the spear formation. Should they stab or not?

Assassination is easy. With a force of waist and eyes and thrust with both hands, the defeated soldiers in front of them can be stabbed to death. However, if they kill the enemy, the Xia army soldiers naturally have no burden, but they really cannot do anything to kill their own robes.

However, these Xia army soldiers knew very well that women were not allowed to be kind on the battlefield. Once their robes were allowed to scramble to the spear formation, the Tang army cavalry would definitely take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to sweep down directly.

Liu Heita stood on the general's platform, condescending to the heights, and saw clearly. The Xia army soldiers rushed like wolves and pigs. At this time, the catapult troops that threatened Chen Ying's most powerful force had stopped. There was no way. Now the Tang cavalry and the Xia army's defeated soldiers have been mixed together. You have me and I have you.

These Xia army soldiers were caught by the hooked sickle and lances behind them, and they fell into a large area. Gao Yaxian said with a worried look: "It's too fast and too fierce. If this continues, the 30,000 vanguard army may not last long!"

The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, with at least 4,000 Xia soldiers killed and killed.

Liu Heita roared with gritted teeth: "I don't believe that their horses will not be tired."

At this time, there is no way to reverse the decline of the vanguard battalion unless it can delay the cavalry under Chen Ying.

Seeing the cavalry rushing forward and killing the Xia army soldiers to defeat the army, the Tang army's left guard led the army, the Shosheng army and the Modao army slowly followed.

At this time, the most miserable person was actually the Tang army's Modao Army soldiers.

They were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy Mo swords. The movement speed of the entire army could only be described as a turtle crawling. However, the Xia army soldiers were too defeated, and they tried their best to catch up with the Xia army soldiers.

The battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, but the Modao soldiers had not yet drunk blood on their Modao.

The commander of the Mojun Zhe Chong roared Gao Feiyang: "Hurry, hurry, hurry up, hurry up, the cavalry is eating meat in front, so we should get some soup to drink!"

The sword soldiers of the Mo walked away with their heads and ran towards them with difficulty.

Finally, Gao Feiyang looked at several Xia army defeated soldiers.

Gao Feiyang shouted ecstatically: "Good come!" As he said that, the Mo Dao Army lined up in dense formations and slashed towards the Xia army soldiers who were running in the wrong direction.

However, without waiting for Gao Feiyang to wait for the Modao soldiers to hit the Xia army's defeated soldiers, all of them knelt on the ground and raised their hands without exception.

Gao Feiyang was stunned. He knew that these Xia soldiers had surrendered, so he could not kill them again. Killing prisoners was not considered a military merit. In desperation, Gao Feiyang just stepped on his thighs and continued to run forward.

But what made Gao Feiyang depressed was that as long as he caught up with the Xia army's defeated soldiers, the defeated soldiers would surrender at the same time.

Looking at his troops, he either surrendered or was killed. Liu Heita was so angry that his hair was about to stand up.

However, he didn't know that this was actually just the beginning.

For Chen Ying, this is just an appetizer before the meal.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Finally, the soldiers of the Tang army's Shooting Army caught up. They gasped and did not care about aiming. They shot a rain of arrows into the Xia army's soldiers' formation regardless of the situation.

The sound of breaking through the air that made people's ears numb, and the dense arrows like rain made the staggering spearmen formation in the Xia army's military formation loosen.

These arrow rains did not aim at the defeated soldiers, but aimed at the Xia army soldiers who were waiting for battle. The sharp arrows pierced the armor of the Xia army spearmen effortlessly, penetrated their bodies, and quickly hollowed out their vitality.

"How to fight this battle?" Gao Yaxian was extremely depressed. The Tang army's cavalry advanced like a wall, and all the soldiers who stood in front of them were rough and unreasonable. Whether brave or cowardly, there was no difference in front of the Tang army's cavalry and lances.

Wherever the hook and sickle passes, there are dead bodies everywhere.

After fighting for a long time, he couldn't chew a hair from Chen Ying's army. Any charge would take hundreds or thousands of lives. How can he fight this battle?

At this time, the soldiers of the Cavalry had changed.

They turned into bloody people, and war horses also turned into bloody horses.

When Liu Heita counted the number of people, he almost vomited blood.

In just half an hour, the Xia army reduced more than 10,000 people. These soldiers were either killed or forced to surrender to the Tang army soldiers.

Liu Heita's face became darker at this time.
