Ma Chao's men and horses in the east of Chang'an were like rusty machinery at this moment. They wanted to turn, but found that their hands and feet were stiff for some reason. Either they couldn't seem to turn no matter how hard they tried, or they found that they had turned too far.
, I can only watch helplessly as the large group of soldiers and horses that appear at the rising sun get closer and closer.
In the history of human cold weapon wars, the weight bonus of cavalry to troops has always been particularly large, because when cavalry with men and horses and armor appear on the battlefield, it means that the outcome of the battlefield is about to be determined.
Fei Qian did not follow the general battlefield layout, that is, arrange the infantry in the central army to spread out the array, and arrange the cavalry on the left and right to control the two wings. Instead, he directly sent the cavalry in front, and let the infantry follow up in the follow-up position.
A huge impact front formation.
There is no unchanging battlefield, so there is no formation that is popular all over the world. Since Ma Chao's troops are a mob, the commanders are unclear, and even the scouts are so sloppy. After confirming that his troops have not been discovered by Ma Chao, Fei
Qian immediately decided to change the original plan of a positional battle into a surprise battle!
Ma Chao's central formation was defeated in one fell swoop, and the rest of the Qiang people must have fled in all directions...
The charging cavalry formation is full of violent beauty.
As the horse's hooves flew, large chunks of soil flew away!
The whole world seems to be trembling!
Everything around has lost its color!
The sun shines on the sharp spearhead, flashing thousands of cold lights, which makes people unable to open their eyes. The war horse has increased its speed to the maximum, and every cavalryman is leaning down on the war horse at this moment.
Wind resistance, on the one hand, lowers the center of gravity and prepares for the moment of impact contact.
Such an astonishing power and such a uniform move made every Qiang Hu Qi who faced the battle feel chills all over his body!
At this moment, these Qiang Hu cavalry felt that they were so insignificant, while the galloping Han cavalry was crushing them as a whole. It felt like they had to fight against such an orderly and orderly situation alone.
Like a war machine, the little courage in my heart disappeared in the blink of an eye...
The Qiang brigade was not an elite force originally, they were just warriors from various tribes. In addition, there has been no fighting for a period of time, so everyone has basically relaxed. In addition, their attention was originally focused on Chang'an.
But when a large number of Han troops suddenly appeared with the first ray of sunshine from the east, every Qiang person was shaken and panicked.
Therefore, when Zhao Yun came with his cavalry, the first thought of these Qiang Hu cavalry was to turn around and avoid Sharp, unwilling to directly face these charging Han cavalry!
When Zhao Yun's cavalry approached, the Qiang and Hu cavalry made another loud noise, but these sounds were not the battle roars of a brave attack, but the disorderly shouts of panic and confusion.
Even this chaotic sound covered up the sound of horn commands coming from behind...
The shortcomings of not having a unified command are undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Although the Qiang Hu cavalry spread out over a large area, if there is a commander who can accurately command, the center can be allowed to retreat, and the cavalry on both wings can attack the gathered Zhao Yun troops.
However, how could Hu Qi, a Qiang man who was originally managed by the commanders of various ministries, form such fine coordination in a short period of time?
The Qiang people shouted, but their actions were not as loud as their voices. Many people turned their horses and ran away, trying to avoid the Fei Qian cavalry's attack route.
However, the Han cavalry attacked so fast that even before the Qiang people could make evasive maneuvers last night, they had already rushed in front of them and pressed straight into the Qiang array!
At this moment, it seems that even time has frozen for a moment!
The Han cavalry in iron armor slashed like steel knives into the Qiang troops, who mostly wore leather robes and leather armor!
At this moment, countless Qiang Hu cavalry were shot down and trampled by the Han cavalry!
Countless Qiang cavalrymen were directly collided and fell by the Han cavalry. Where the spears surged, countless Qiang soldiers howled and fell off their horses! The heavy and sharp swords used the power of the horse to slash.
Wherever it passed, blood suddenly spurted out, exuding brilliant colors under the brilliance of the rising sun!
Although the outer Qiang array was large in area, it was not thick. Such an array was almost nothing in front of the cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun. It was really insignificant. In the blink of an eye, this Qiang array was trampled on.
Got a piece of shit!
Although some Qiang people were fighting back, there were not many arrows fired, and facing Fei Qian's well-equipped Han cavalry, if they landed on the iron armor, they would only make some noise at most.
That's it, it can't break armor at all. Only if it happens to hit an area not covered by armor can it cause some damage.
The road the Han cavalry attacked was a bloody road!
The Qiang Huqi screamed and shouted, stumbling and squeezing together, some forward, some backward, but the result was the same, they just trampled their own queue into more chaos.
After seeing the bravery of the Han cavalry, every Qiang Hu cavalry who faced the battle lost the courage to step forward to meet the enemy. They just wanted to leave these Han cavalry and stay as far away from these murderous gods as possible!
The look on every Qiang man's face seemed to be the same at this moment, that is, indescribable fear and panic!
Huge shouts, screams, people shouting and horses neighing, all erupted at this moment, soaring into the sky!
Among Feiqian's central troops, Pang Tong stood on a platform made of baggage carts, struggling to hold on to the simple railings nailed to the surrounding wooden frames. He held on so hard that even the veins on his hands were exposed.
, it seems that only in this way can the slight trembling in the body be suppressed, "It's so happy! This way you can show your true nature as a man! This way you can be a strong soldier of the Han family! It's so happy! It's so happy! It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it will definitely become obvious!"
Seeing Pang Tong's behavior, Fei Qian could understand.
The battlefield has always been the place that best stimulates adrenaline. However, this adrenaline has benefits and side effects. Anyway, Fei Qian can still remember the first time he killed someone with his own hands, the feeling of piercing the skin of a cow.
, the blood splashed onto the hot spots on the back of the hand and the arm...
For someone like Pang Tong, it was his first time encountering such a formation. His body was only slightly trembling, but he was already doing well.
On the battlefield, the men and horses were swaying, and it was impossible to see the specific movements unless they were standing at a high place. This was naturally why Fei Qian took the risk and needed to connect them with baggage trucks to build a command platform.
Different from the concept of some people of later generations, in fact, during the entire battle process of cold weapons, it is not like in the games of later generations, the troops can command like an arm, commanding the dogs and never chasing the chickens, but commanding
It often happens that you beat a dog but kill a chicken...
The transmission of orders is nothing more than golden drums and flags. In such a primitive command system, for most soldiers, orders are basically one-time, and fine adjustments and command on the battlefield can only be relied on during the battle.
The frontline generals have come to complete it.
Of course, if they are elite soldiers, in the fierce battle, they can still see the central command orders and can slightly adjust the array. But if they are ordinary soldiers, it is good to be able to complete the first order.
Therefore, in most cases, the soldiers who have been sent out are basically separated from the central command system.
Therefore, as the central command system, Fei Qian's job is to dispatch the cards that have not yet been played to a relatively suitable location within a time that he feels is appropriate. As for other details, he often cannot control them.
Too hot.
Therefore, in many battles at home and abroad, the reserve team wins in the end. It is not about how strong the reserve team is, but when one side still has cards, but the other side does not have the strength to fight, and then the whole situation ends.
collapse.
So at this time, when Fei Qian saw that the situation was going smoothly, he naturally relaxed a lot. Seeing that Pang Tong took a few long breaths and calmed down a little, he smiled and pointed forward and said: "Feng Chu,
Can you spread your wings?"
Fly with anger!
Little bird!
Isn’t it very appropriate?
Pang Tong completely failed to hear the ridicule of later generations in Fei Qian's words. Instead, he raised his arms and shouted: "This is what a man should be like! Life is based on flesh and blood, and only then can one achieve immortality! Kill the barbarians and get the land; behead them."
The enemy chieftain’s merits are immortal!”
"Kill the barbarians and gain acres of land; kill the enemy chiefs and your achievements will be immortal!"
Although Pang Tong's words were rough, they spoke to the hearts of the surrounding soldiers. Immediately, someone shouted loudly in response, and then the entire infantry formation of the central army beat the rhythm with their swords and shouted loudly. The momentum suddenly increased a few times.
point!
…………………………
Ma Chao galloped wildly, raising the horse's speed to the highest speed. Still feeling that it was not enough, he kicked the horse hard and pinched the horse's belly. The horse neighed in pain, sprayed white foam, and galloped forward crazily.
Fei Qian chose a surprise attack, and Ma Chao also chose a surprise attack. However, Fei Qian's surprise attack was based on adequate preparation, while Ma Chao's surprise attack was forced and helpless.
Ma Dai led his personal guards and followed closely behind Ma Chao.
Originally, Ma Chao's attack on Chang'an this time was more or less smooth, and if Fei Qian had not arrived in time, maybe Ma Chao really commanded Xia Mou's surrender troops and Qiang people, plus such a mixed force of refugees, would
After many battles, Chang'an, which seemed a little weak, was captured...
Once Chang'an is captured, it can be said that whether it is Xia Mou's surrendered troops or the Qiang's cavalry, they must be somewhat convinced by Ma Chao. When the time comes, Ma Chao will use the power of victory to organize and organize.
It's hard to say whether a force will actually come out.
But now, all these plans have come to nothing...
No, there is still a chance!
Ma Chao didn't have time to let the soldiers pass the order, so he just put his finger in his mouth and made a sharp whistle. Then he signaled Ma Dai to get out of the direction of Zhao Yun's cavalry. He did not directly go forward to meet the enemy, but charged forward.
Rush towards the Chinese army where Fei Qian is!
Ma Chao's strategy is simple.
To put it simply, this tactic is commonly known as switching positions. Anyway, your own battle formation is already so corrupt, so you just have to compete with who else is worse!
As long as he can defeat the Chinese infantry formation where Fei Qian is, he will not lose!
Ma Chao even hoped that Fei Qiang would summon back the cavalry sprinting ahead in panic. Such behavior would undoubtedly be a double blow to the morale and tactics of the Han cavalry...
Of course, even if Fei Qian doesn't call back the Han cavalry, Ma Chao believes that with his own bravery and those who only followed Ma Teng and now follow him, such an elite veteran soldier on the battlefield can also tear apart
The battle formation of the Chinese infantry gave Fei Qian a heavy blow, forcing him to retreat. He even had a chance to capture the general and seal the victory...
Ma Chao galloped wildly, getting out of the way of Zhao Yun's troops. He didn't care about the safety of the Qiang troops under Chang'an City. He only stared at Fei Qian's Chinese army, his blood-red cloak billowing in the wind behind him, and the silver spear in his hand.
Waving it, like a hungry wolf staring at the throat of its prey, showing its fangs!
…………………………
The unusual movements of Ma Chao's troops and horses naturally attracted the attention of the sharp-eyed Huang Xu, who immediately pointed it out to Fei Qian.
"As expected..." Pang Tong on the side also noticed it, so he smiled, pointed with his hand and said, "This Ma family is still unwilling to give up... I can't believe it when I attack the formation."
Aren’t we all a military formation formed by civilians?”
"The Xiliang cavalry are good at throwing spears and can break through the chaos. If they are unprepared, it might be possible..." Fei Qian also said with a smile, "But... Gongming! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Xu Huang responded loudly and took the order, then moved forward.
…………………………
"Get ready to throw your spear!"
While Ma Chao shouted loudly, he reached out and pulled out the throwing spear from the leather belt behind the horse. The soldiers behind him also took out the throwing spear from the leather belt and held it in their hands.
Throwing spears are inserted into the leather belt and hung on both sides of the horse's body. There are usually four to six spears. It has always been Ma Chao's best weapon to destroy the formation.
In fact, the cavalry does not have an absolute advantage when attacking the densely defended infantry formation. If the infantry formation is very complete and rigorous, even heavily armored cavalry will not dare to collide head-on with the hedgehog-like spear formation.
But if the infantry formation is scattered, then it is the opportunity for the cavalry...
Therefore, the only way for Ma Chao and his cavalry to break through or even defeat Fei Qian's Chinese infantry formation was to first use long-range weapons to destroy the formation, and then mount their horses to attack and kill.
The long-range weapons are nothing more than bows and arrows, and Xiliang's characteristic throwing spears...
Horse hooves rumble.
The distance between the two armies has reached two hundred steps!
One hundred and fifty steps!
One hundred steps and twenty steps!
One hundred steps!
Ma Chao stood up on his horse and was about to shout loudly to order his men to throw their spears to break the formation, when he heard a shout from the opposite formation!
"Start! Strong wind!"
In the array, behind the row of shields, a row of crossbowmen suddenly stood up!
"Boom!"
Almost at the same time, a large number of strong crossbows slammed down the hanging knives, and the sound of the bowstrings collapsing converged into a huge sound that resounded through the sky, making Ma Chao's hair stand on end in shock!
"Arbalest!"
Ma Chao only had time to let out such a shrill howl, then he subconsciously threw the spear aside and tightened the horse's reins with all his strength. The horse suddenly felt pain, raised its front hooves high, and stood upright!
"Buzz!"
The powerful and sharp crossbow bolts roar towards you!
The soldier who was half leaning back on the horse and preparing to throw the spear was completely unprepared and immediately suffered the heaviest blow!
"fall!"
"rise!"
"Gale!"
The crossbowmen fired methodically, and the charging Ma Chao cavalry troops were like seedlings in autumn, being harvested piece by piece by the sickle of death.
The crossbow bolt roars!
Broken flesh and bone residue, accompanied by gushing blood, flew all over the sky!
