The battlefield outside Jinyong City was divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts, by the long sand embankment perimeter. Many walls of different lengths were also built on the inner perimeter of the long perimeter, which were as uneven as canine teeth and looked very ugly.
At the beginning, Hu Lujin was not very clear about the significance of the enemy's building of these walls. After all, he had previously made up his mind to stay in the city and had no intention of leaving the city to fight and break through.
But now as the troops left the city, he immediately felt the malice of these jagged walls. These walls were built in a mess and without any rules. If the army wanted to attack Changwei, the formation would inevitably be divided into pieces.
, which is not conducive to the overall scheduling and changes of the battle formation.
Therefore, Hu Lujin did not rush to order an attack. Instead, he asked his son outside Changwei to take the lead in attacking the enemy's formation, trying to find out the key points of the enemy's formation through changes in the enemy's formation.
As the battle began, although Hu Lujin could not directly see the fighting outside Changwei, when he heard the enemy's roaring cheers and cheers, Hu Lujin's face could not help but change suddenly, and his heart
Feeling bad.
"Attack from the front and seize the enemy's right formation. Tushan will send another two thousand armored soldiers!"
Fearing that the battle outside Changwei would be detrimental to his own side, Hulüjin immediately ordered an attack on the enemy's formation.
The enemy's battle formation in Changwei was set up based on the sand embankment of Changwei. The battle formation on the right side echoed Tushan, and the largest number of troops were deployed, which showed that Tushan was the siege point and the Heyang artillery above.
Waiting for the attention of ordnance.
Hu Lujin originally wanted to mobilize some of his troops here as the battle progressed and then launch an attack here. However, the battle outside Changwei seemed to be unsatisfactory. Only by attacking the enemy formation here could he contain the most enemy forces.
.
As the drums and horns of the attack sounded, the soldiers at the front of the Qi army rushed towards the enemy formation. At the front of the team were hundreds of heavily armored cavalry. These elite soldiers with horses, horses and armor were killing weapons on the battlefield. Once they moved,
It was unstoppable, and the iron hooves struck the ground with a thrilling muffled sound. The rear formation followed behind these armored cavalry, and the entire battle formation was full of tension.
Seeing the enemy's charge with heavy armored cavalry, the faces of the Wei army officers in the Changwei became quite serious. They quickly adjusted their battle formations and retreated the lightly armored and unarmored crossbowmen to the positions protected by the sand embankment in the Changwei.
Within the range, pikemen were at the forefront of the battle formation. Among the pikemen array were mixed heavy armored infantry holding long-handled weapons such as sabers and battle axes.
As the king of the battlefield, the heavy cavalry is the elite of the elite. As long as it appears on the battlefield, it will receive high attention and alert from the enemy. Because its destructive power is so shocking, it is often deployed as a key force that determines victory or defeat. Jin Yong City
The defenders dispatched such an important force at the beginning of the war, which shows Hulujin's eagerness to seize the initiative on the battlefield as soon as possible.
Soon these hundreds of moving steel fortresses arrived in front of the Wei army's formation. The huge sense of oppression also made the sergeants in the front line turn pale with fear. The only action they remembered was to hold their spears with both hands in a horse-repelling posture.
, the gun blade points diagonally forward.
Click, click!
The heavy-armored knight of the Qi army who rushed forward directly collided with the enemy's gun blade. The sharp gun blade first scratched sparks and made a sharp sound on the surface of his thick and solid armor, but in the end it was still difficult to pierce through the armor.
Armor with excellent quality was either knocked aside or simply broken by the huge impact!
The Northern Qi Dynasty had a strong national power, and its craftsmanship and technology, especially the craftsmanship of weapons, were among the best in the world. Even many famous ministers and generals occasionally had to be sent to Jinyang Jiafang to work.
As the elite of their country, Jinyang soldiers also enjoy the most sophisticated ordnance rations. In this round of heavy cavalry charging into the formation, not one person's armor was broken, which shows that the armor of these elite Jinyang soldiers is of high quality.
.
As the enemy's heavy cavalry rushed into the formation, the Wei army's battle formation here seemed to be smashed into a shocking dent by an iron fist. The originally neat and tight battle formation was broken through in an instant, and many front row sergeants were directly knocked out.
, the body was still in mid-air, and blood was already pouring out of the mouth and nose. After landing, the body twitched, vomited blood, and died.
Although this first collision caused heavy casualties to the Wei army, it was not completely ineffective. After paying the price of dozens of lives, the momentum of these heavy armored cavalry was also curbed. Without the blessing of speed,
The deterrent effect of heavy armored cavalry on the battlefield will be drastically reduced.
"Kill!"
The spearmen in the battle formation roared to encourage each other, and the spears in their hands thrust hard at the enemy's horsemen. Although most of the spear blades were difficult to stab the opponent, the force of the thrust also had a negative impact on the actions of these enemy cavalry.
Extreme restrictions made it difficult for them to ride horses again.
These enemy heavy cavalry are naturally elites in the army, and each has the courage to defeat many enemies. Although their speed is limited by the enemy soldiers who are not afraid of death, their movements of hands and feet are still unrestricted, and the horses in their hands move up and down.
When it was swung, it was like a sickle harvesting human lives, and the surrounding enemy soldiers were constantly killed under the horse. Even if they were protected by armor, they would inevitably fall to the ground after being struck by the long sword.
Under the charge and fighting of hundreds of cavalry, the battle formation here was constantly being pushed back. When the infantrymen from the rear moved forward to connect the offensive, the pressure on the enemy formation suddenly became greater.
Even though the officers and soldiers of the Wei army were fighting back bravely, the battle was still retreating steadily.
However, just as the Qi army's battle was getting better, a new element appeared on the battlefield. A heavy-armored cavalry had just fought through the spear entanglement of several enemy soldiers, but what appeared in front of him was not other enemy teams.
It turned out to be a hard wall of sand.
After seeing this, the knight tried hard to rein in the war horse. However, the huge weight and inertia of the armor of the man and horse were too great, and the difficulty of controlling the horse was several times greater than that of the light cavalry. In the end, the knight was unable to escape.
The man and the horse hit this section of the sand embankment together.
The sand embankment is several feet wide, with hard ice covering the top and bottom, and the bottom is tightly frozen with the ground. After withstanding this heavy impact, although ice chips mixed with sand are splashing on the surface, the wall remains intact.
The body still didn't suffer much damage.
On the contrary, the situation of the knight and his horse who was firmly hit on the sand embankment was very bad. The horse's neck was directly twisted by the impact, and the whole body of the horse collapsed under the wall, and the horse on the horse's back was in very bad condition.
The knight was also knocked down, and the bag on his head also fell to one side.
The knight resisted the pain in his body and stood up with difficulty, holding his hands on the ground. Suddenly he felt his vision blurred for a while. When his vision was fixed again, he saw a headless steel body moving in a strange way.
His posture was about to rise, blood spurted out from the neck cavity that should have been connected to the head, and then the world fell into deathly silence.
In addition to the great trouble caused by these sand embankments and walls to the enemy's cavalry, the Xiangyang army itself also had troops deployed against heavy cavalry.
Although heavy armor can provide very tight protection for humans and horses, the various attacks they receive cannot be offset and must still be withstood by the bodies of humans and horses wrapped in iron armor. When the attack force reaches a certain level,
Sometimes, even if it doesn't break the armor, the huge concussive force is enough to kill.
Heavy weapons such as tomahawks and awls are suitable weapons for fighting heavy cavalry, but they require extremely high physical fitness requirements such as the user's arm strength and physique.
These elite soldiers, who are also wearing strong armor, are distributed among the battle formations. Once the enemy cavalry is caught in a fight and is overwhelmed by attacks from all directions, these elite soldiers will bully the horses directly and wave their long-ke battle axes towards them.
The enemy soldiers' heads, chests, backs, waists and other vital parts will be chopped off. As long as the ax is struck firmly, the enemy soldiers will often lose their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
In the battle formation, a heavily armored young general tried his best to chop his battle ax into the heart of an enemy soldier. The enemy soldier and his horse suddenly fell forward, and then collapsed directly on the horse's back, with the sword that had not yet fallen off.
Blood continuously overflowed from the gaps in his facial armor, and his internal organs were shattered and he died.
"Good skill!"
Li Ya, who was also fighting hard in the battle formation, saw this scene and stabbed the enemy soldier on the opposite side. She also turned her hand and gave the young general a thumbs up to praise him.
"It's already the seventh one!"
Han Qinhu, who was also a confidant in the Taiyuan king's tent, grinned after hearing this, and proudly made a gesture representing "seven" to the surrounding robes, and then carried his Changke battle ax and headed towards the fierce battle.
Go. These elite axemen have great maneuvering rights on the battlefield and do not need to follow orders to advance or retreat on a certain battlefield.
Li Ya and others heard that Han Qinhu had such a powerful record, and they couldn't help but feel jealous for a while. They looked at the fewer and fewer enemy heavy cavalry on the battlefield, and kept moving forward under the cover of the fighting robes around them.
.
During the melee, Li Ya saw an enemy heavy rider with a gold belt around his waist. Her heart suddenly moved. Seeing the enemy general reining in his horse and turning to fight, she got up and quickly approached him. However, when he struck out with an axe,
, the enemy knight suddenly jumped sideways, and the ax that was supposed to hit the enemy general's back fell on the horse's hind foot. The huge force directly broke the horse's foot through the armored curtain, and the enemy general also tilted straight away.
The war horse fell down.
"Don't hurt my lord, the dog thief!"
Soon, several enemy cavalry who were fighting together with the enemy general noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly jumped on their horses and rushed forward to rescue him.
After hearing this, Li Ya's eyes suddenly lit up again. She ignored the enemy's spear that was stabbing him diagonally. She swung the battle ax and struck the enemy general in front of his heart. She was relieved to see blood gushing out of his mouth like a fountain.
As soon as he smiled, his body was immediately thrown out by the enemy. The entire left half of his body was numb and burning. After landing, he was directly smashed into a pile of corpses of several people, and soon he fainted unconsciously.
