Zhu Biao continued to sit on his horse. Compared with the tragic scene in front of the formation, the 10,000 Han troops in the formation were completely different. Although they were always waiting for the order to attack, in the end, none of them died and no horse was left.
hurt.
All I can say is that the war has not yet entered its climax.
Wu Hengfei wanted to use the infantry to defeat the Hu cavalry first, and then use the 10,000 Han cavalry in the formation to counterattack. What he wanted was just a stable small victory or a slight upper hand to force Ji Zou.
The rest are not too ambitious.
Because the 20,000 Han cavalry targeting the Juyanhai area can certainly have a threatening effect, but to really cause real and substantial harm to the hundreds of thousands of Hu people nomadic there, the price to be paid may be to put these 20,000 Han cavalry away.
Fold it all in.
For the Northern Han Dynasty and the war situation in Yandong, the existence of 20,000 elite cavalry was of great significance. Wu Hengfei was not willing to fight in a fight that would hurt both sides unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Kill, kill..."
A fierce battle was going on in front of the formation, and two barbarian cavalrymen stabbed hard into the sides of the Han army's formation. This was not a diversionary guerrilla, but a real impact.
The cavalry group in the center of the formation was still waiting quietly. Zhu Biao's expression changed a little. The front was blocked, and the wings were glued together. How could he attack with ten thousand cavalry? He couldn't attack from behind, right?
There are also ten thousand horsemen of the Hu people!!
Ji Zou had this idea. He just wanted to hold back the 10,000 Han cavalry in the Han army's formation. And if the cavalry inside really turned out from behind the formation, they would have to wait until they put aside Hu Jietan's entanglement and adjust their direction.
When the attack comes, I have enough time to prepare for it——
As long as the suddenness is lost, whether it is 10,000 Han cavalry or 20,000 Han cavalry, Ji Zou is conceited and will not pose much of a threat to his own troops.
The corner of Wu Hengfei's mouth curled up into a sneer, and his eyes continued to stare at the front formation, not caring about the flames of war on both wings. If the formation he set up was really so easy to block, he would be in vain for his title of 'Jingbian General'
Already.
Time passes little by little, and the blood becomes thicker and thicker...
Zhu Biao's tense body has relaxed, and his spirit is still strong, but no one can keep tightening his body for an hour or two, right?
The battlefield was already filled with bloodshed, but they still waited quietly.
"Pfft..." The blood-stained spear pierced the horse's neck hard, and the spear head was pulled out. A flood of blood immediately splashed down from the horse's neck, and the war horse fell to the ground. The retracted spear was about to strike again.
A dazzling bright light had already arrived in front of his eyes. It was the last light his eyes saw...
The sword fell from his hand, and the head of the man flew away. Another Hulu cavalry who dismounted from the fast horse succeeded in taking the sword. However, where he couldn't see it, the hoofs of the seated war horse had already stepped heavily on the man who had just fallen.
The war horse pressed half of the Hu cavalry...
Maybe those people would be his relatives and friends from the same tribe. They were even as close as one family off the battlefield, but on the battlefield, who could care about whom? The clicking sound of broken bones and the faint cry for help were destined to die.
Naturally, no one would look down with pity.
The sharp broadsword struck at the war horse, and the heavy halberd swept out regardless of everything. The spear and shield alone were never the cornerstone of the Han army's infantry formation. Their role was only to block the charge of Hu Qi.
Heavy armor and heavy armored infantry armed with broadswords and heavy halberds were the backbone of the Northern Han infantry against the Hu cavalry.
When the speed that the cavalry relied on for a living was no longer there, when they faced heavy armored infantry wrapped in thick iron sheets, even though many of the cavalry were holding heavy weapons such as hammers and maces, they fell into the quagmire of strangulation.
It will also be doomed.
The sun was high in the sky, and the battle had been going on for most of the morning. "Give the order, the cavalry will eat, and we will attack in two quarters of an hour." Wu Hengfei looked up at the sun. It was almost time and he couldn't make it on time. Ji Zou was not a fool either.
If there was another attack at noon, he, who was also a veteran on the battlefield, would definitely be prepared.
"promise--"
"The cavalry eats and prepares in two quarters of an hour -"
"The cavalry eats and prepares in two quarters of an hour -"
On the fiercely fighting battlefield, the order to eat suddenly came out, which seemed so abrupt. However, Zhu Biao's relaxed body immediately tensed up the moment the order came into his ears, and he felt a strong sensation in the muscles all over his body.
The surging power couldn't wait to be released immediately. Because he finally waited for the military order to attack——
The dry food and clean water in the bag were prepared before going into battle, making it extremely convenient to take food. Zhu Biao didn't feel hungry at all, although his fatigue in the status bar had exceeded ten points. But this slight fatigue
The excitement and shock brought by the military order had already disappeared without a trace.
However, none of the soldiers and horses under his command had the same endurance as him. Not only the people, but also the horses sitting down also needed to eat, including some fine feed - such as black bean cakes, which the horses loved to eat.
Two quarters of an hour flew by, and the heavy armored infantry in front of the formation was replaced by another wave. Although they were wearing heavy armor, they were very lethal, but like archers, they only had one force to use.
After that, it was like the electric toys that had run out of batteries and became real decorations.
Taking advantage of the alternation of heavy armored infantry on the Han army's formation, Hu Qi seized the opportunity to go one step further, and the offensive became even more powerful. Because they had more troops and more strength, they were more diligent and more powerful than the Han army's alternating offensive.
has advantages.
Whenever a new force comes on the field, they don't need to take into account their own physical strength and the endurance of their horses. They just need to maximize their offensive power during the time they are on the field.
The soldiers of the Han army in the formation will not flinch even if they have not been rotated, even if they are already sore and weak. The infantry formation composed of heavy armored infantry, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers is still an immovable millstone.
, steadily and steadily grinding the puddles of Hu Qi’s flesh and blood.
"Archers come forward, sword and shield soldiers cover, ten rounds of rapid fire——"
Wu Hengfei's unchanging face became solemn and stern. The next move was crucial to the victory or defeat today, so his composure could not help but become serious.
"Woooooooo..."
The cavalry's horn sounded in the formation, and the whole army was ready for battle. Zhu Biao put down the water bag in his hand and looked to the right at Zhu Tong.
"Brother Six, don't worry -" Zhu Tong tightened the saddle strap and gave Zhu Biao a firm look.
With a squeaking sound, groups of archers ran past from both sides, making a sound of clinking bows, pots, and arrows.
"Ah...ah..."
"kill……"
The fight for life in front of the battle continues.
The front line where the two armies were mixed together was a complete quagmire of flesh and blood, with broken limbs and mud-like corpses everywhere.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Rows of sharp arrows suddenly rose from the formation and fell rapidly to the front of the entangled formation where the two armies were entangled. Under Wu Hengfei's order, the thousands of archers assembled turned out to be a mass shooting that covered both the enemy and ourselves.
The golden sound of "Dang Dang..." only sounded after the arrow rain rose. It was this moment of delay, and countless loyal and brave soldiers were unprepared and pierced by sharp arrows from their own people...
…
The atmosphere of the Han cavalry that was ready to go suddenly condensed. Zhu Biao felt a sense of bitterness in his heart, this is the battle formation.
However, the bitterness did not turn into the sorrow of the rabbit's death and the fox's death, nor did it turn into the ruthless anger towards Shangguan, only the tragic...
Just like the current fate of the Northern Han Dynasty!
