The Xianbei people's war horses began to gallop, roaring like waves of never-ending tides. The rapid rise and fall of the horses' hooves hit the mud and river water. Although the slippery soil prevented the horses from rising to the highest level.
The speed, but the Xianbei people roared, roared, and echoed regardless, lying on the back of the horse, using the horse's torso and neck to cover their faces, chest and abdomen, raising their swords, and whipping the horses wildly,
The horses were forced to use their last strength, allowing them to pass through this section of the road filled with the smell of death as quickly as possible.
Almost all Xianbei people know that once a charge is taken, there are only two results, either you die in battle or your opponent is hacked to death. Cavalry does have certain advantages when attacking infantry, but having an advantage does not mean there are no casualties.
Judging from the effect of the latest tentative first wave of conflicts, the Han army's position was tight. After passing through the riverbed, it was necessary to destroy the resisting horses, otherwise it would still be impossible to directly attack the Han army's position.
Although the Han army formation on the opposite side is very difficult, the Xianbei people believe that the final victory will still belong to them. However, before that, many Xianbei people who went out to fight will die in front of the formation, paving a road with the flesh and blood of themselves and their horses.
.
This is especially true for the Xianbei cavalry who rush at the front. Some of them don't even have leather armor, so they can only use themselves and the bodies of their mounts to block the Han army's crossbows and gain some charge for their companions behind them.
time.
If it were on flat and solid ground, the distance of more than a hundred steps would only take a few breaths at most. Although some people would fall under the crossbows of the Han army, there would not be as many as now. Especially
Since war horses don't wear armor, they can only rely on their large and strong bodies to receive a few more arrows and hold on for a longer period of time. However, once they fall, it will often affect the charge route of the cavalry behind them.
Although Huang Cheng's Han army occupied the geographical advantage, the number of Xianbei people changed everything. The corpses of the Xianbei people who were shot down by crossbows, their significance is to win the win in the blink of an eye before death.
A short time like this, and a little bit of short time accumulated, is enough to change the direction of the war.
As the distance between the two armies continues to shorten, the invisible line of death is constantly approaching Huang Cheng's army. When the Xianbei people rush in front of Juma, it means that the god of death has finally come to them.
on the head.
Watching the warriors and horses fall down one by one, Da Danghu stared coldly at the other side without even moving his eyebrows. He knew in his heart that if the Han army did not have reinforcements, then in the end the dissatisfied thousands would
The Han army will be slaughtered alive by his numbers, and victory will ultimately belong to him.
As a powerful man, he needs a victory and longs for a victory to stabilize his position and maintain his dignity, even at the expense of the flesh and blood of his subordinates.
But for those Xianbei cavalry who had to use their flesh and blood to consume the fighting power of the Han army before victory, their significance lies in how much time they can buy before dying, how far they can advance, and how many people they can kill.
With little hope of survival, the Xianbei people aroused the madness and murderous intent in their bones. They ignored the screams of their comrades around them who were shot by crossbows, and did not care whether they would be shot.
There was only one thing in his mind, which was to rush forward. If he could kill one or two enemies, he would at least have some support.
This is especially true for the infantry in Huang Cheng's Han army formation. They are even crazier than the Xianbei people. Anyone facing the charge of the cavalry will immediately feel the tremendous pressure, the barbarian's sword, the barbarian's madness
, the barbarians rushed their horses regardless, and he had killed so many Xianbei barbarians. Could it be that he would have a way out by escaping or surrendering?
There was no way out, because there was no way the horses could outrun them. There was no surrender, because surrender would also inevitably result in a sword blow.
Huang Cheng didn't do any fighting motivation, because these subordinates were all soldiers he trained. He watched them gradually transform from a guy who didn't know whether to hold a sword with his left hand or his right hand, into a real soldier.
.
Now, Huang Cheng stands here, standing with his men and soldiers,
There is no way to retreat. Regardless of whether they are brave or cowardly at this moment, everyone can only pick up weapons and fight with their lives, just like two ferocious beasts, biting each other, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
"Spearmen prepare—" Huang Cheng shouted sharply.
The spearman who was hiding behind the sword and shield man rushed forward. Under the cover of the sword and shield man, he inserted the tail of the spear in his hand into the soil. His companions in the back row stepped on it tightly, and he held it tightly.
Holding the spear handle and placing it on the shield hand's large shield, it became the second line of defense behind the wooden and horse horses.
Spears are the best weapon to deal with cavalry. As long as a war horse is stabbed in the chest and abdomen by a spear, it is basically dead and there is no hope of survival. However, the collision force when the spear pierces the body of the war horse is also amazing. Even if it is
If the spear is pressed against the ground, it will often break directly, injuring the spearman's hand even though it is small, or even being stabbed in the body by the broken spear, which is very dangerous.
Although the width of the ferry was widened, under the constant firing of two hundred crossbows, every time the Xianbei people took a step forward, several riders in front would fall down along with their horses. Especially the powerful crossbows of the Han army, which caused serious damage
The extent far exceeded the expectations of the Xianbei people. Regardless of whether it was a man or a horse, as long as it was shot, it would basically lose its combat effectiveness immediately and fall to the ground as if it was hit by a heavy hammer. The huge lethality made many
The Xianbei people were frightened when they saw it.
The Xianbei people did have an advantage in numbers. The Han army's crossbows peeled off the skin of the Xianbei cavalry layer by layer, but in the end the Xianbei cavalry urged their horses to directly hit the horses set up by the Han army.
With the soft mud of the river and the presence of crossbows, the barbarians' method of pulling the horses with lassoes was basically ineffective, because it was very difficult to change direction or turn around in the river bed.
Things, and after Ju Ma are the sword-wielding swordsmen and shieldmen, with one slash, the lasso is basically just a hook hanging on Ju Ma...
Therefore, the Xianbei people had only one way left if they wanted to destroy Juma.
Use flesh and blood to break it open!
The Xianbei people who were lucky enough to escape the baptism of arrows roared wildly, whipping and slashing the horse's buttocks with their sabers, trying to make the horse that had just left the muddy area of the tidal flat as fast as possible, and then reached the front of the horse.
, he suddenly lifted the reins of the war horse, and he hit him forcefully!
At this moment, the terrible crisis of Huang Cheng's Han army finally came...
