Compared with crossbows, short spears are not comparable in terms of penetrating power and lethality. Those shields can block the crossbow attacks, but they are still somewhat weak in the face of throwing spears. There is a ping-pong sound,
A large area of the Shisong Army's shield formation was wiped out, and gaps appeared in front of the Yingyang Cavalry.
"The eagle raises the army and marches into battle."
Seeing this situation, the captain yelled, took the lead and identified the gap, and killed one of them.
The Yingyang Cavalry in the front row rushed into the enemy's battle formation, and the Yingyang Cavalry behind them also pressed forward step by step, continuing to throw spears and break through.
"Hang on, Zhang Wu, take the people to the west."
"Liu Zheng, lead people to support Dongfang."
"Sahu, lead people forward to block the gap in the front."
Even in the current situation, the captain Zhou Shi sent by Lu Bu still did not give up. Instead, he kept sending people to supplement his troops, hoping to block the Yingyang Cavalry who kept attacking his own front like a flash flood.
"Wang Che, you immediately bring regular troops to support us and we must block the enemy's attack."
Seeing that the front row of soldiers and horses were in danger under the attack of Yingyang cavalry, Shisong directly asked Wang Che to lead the Jiaozhou regular army to support them. If the front line was broken, then their pure infantry team would lose even if there were only a few enemies.
Thousands of cavalrymen might also be beaten to a pulp.
"promise."
In fact, Wang Che couldn't wait for a long time. After hearing Shisong's order, he no longer hesitated and led nine thousand Jiaozhou soldiers directly forward, and began to cooperate with Lu Bu's soldiers and horses to fight against Yingyang's cavalry.
With the support of Wang Che and Jiaozhou soldiers, Lu Bu's troops became calmer.
More than 19,000 infantrymen resisted the attack of 5,000 eagle troops, and the platoon also gained confidence. The originally riddled front line gradually stabilized.
However, the Yingyang Army's attack was still sharp. Even if the enemy's reinforcements increased, they still suppressed the opponent and kept killing them.
Just when the front row was stuck, the cavalry from the rear team finally came up to kill them, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky.
"Not good, the rear team discovered the enemy cavalry,"
Someone immediately reported the news to Shisong, who was in the middle of the command line.
"What?
Enemy cavalry appears in the rear?
The rear team becomes the front team and prepares for battle."
In fact, Shisong also heard the footsteps of the enemy's cavalry, but at first he thought he heard it wrong, but after hearing the soldiers' report, he could only face this problem squarely.
Hearing Shisong's arrangement, the recruits behind him panicked. After all, they only went to the battlefield after some simple training.
Just as Lu Bu arranged, these recruits are basically delivering food. They are fine for defending the city, but they are not equipped to fight in the field and face a large number of cavalry.
Zhang Lin arrived with the cavalry, and these new soldiers had just set up a line of defense. The second line of defense was still in chaos. The remaining soldiers were still sparse and did not look like they were fighting at all. Moreover, their new soldiers were not able to fight at all.
Without a crossbow as a powerful weapon against cavalry, they could only use bows and arrows for passive defense.
"Throw a spear."
Looking at the panicked enemies in front of him, a cruel smile appeared on Zhang Lin's lips. Such a team of novices was nothing to the elite cavalry behind him.
For a moment, short spears fell from the sky like a heavy rain, directly smashing the enemy's front row shields topsy-turvy, leaving many holes.
"The eagle raises the army and marches into battle."
Zhang Lin did not hesitate and directly swung her sword into the enemy's formation.
"Step into formation."
"Step into formation."
"Step into formation."
Countless cavalry also shouted and marched into the enemy's formation in a staircase shape like a tide.
As expected, facing the extremely elite Yingyang Army, Shisong's recruits had no power to resist, and were directly broken by the Yingyang Cavalry.
"The formation is broken, the formation is broken."
"Run quickly, the enemy is coming."
"I can't stop it."
The front line was broken through, and the thousands of cavalry behind them collapsed. After all, these people were just farmers who had just put down their hoes. Facing the extremely elite cavalry, they had no resistance at all and could only scatter in all directions.
escape.
"Ignore those broken troops and continue to charge forward."
Zhang Lin didn't care about the scattered enemies at all, but continued to move forward with her cavalry, killing them in depth.
"General, the soldiers in front have collapsed, and the enemy is now attacking us in depth."
The soldiers behind collapsed, and soon someone came to Shisong's side, reporting to Shisong with fear in their eyes.
"Trash, they are all trash. Guardsman, follow me to stop the enemy. Let Wang Che lead his men back immediately."
Hearing the news, Shisong collapsed. Although he knew that the new recruits were unreliable, it was too fast. They didn't resist at all and collapsed directly.
"promise."
A thousand personal guards under Shi Song's command followed him without hesitation, hoping to stop the Ying Yang Cavalry brought by Zhang Lin. At the same time, they also sent a person to report the news to Wang Che.
"Captain Lieutenant, the enemy's rear cavalry has broken through the blockade and is now advancing in depth. General Shisong has already led his guards to stop them. He asked me to come over and ask you to send troops to support immediately."
Shisong's personal guards directly reported the news from behind to the Wang Chao who was fighting in the front. It was already difficult to resist the Ying Yang army in front of them. Now if they are really killed by the cavalry from behind, there is no surprise. They will
Crash directly.
"Shi Yu, you immediately bring five thousand soldiers and horses back to build a defense line. You must block the enemy from me."
Hearing the words of Shisong's personal guard, Wang Che felt that his head had collapsed. Without any time to hesitate, he immediately sent out five thousand soldiers and horses to build a defense line.
There is no way to save him. Now we can only hope that we can arrange a defense line in time to stop the enemy's cavalry attack.
"Building a defensive line?
You should immediately send someone to rescue Master Shisong, if you don’t go, he will be finished.”
After hearing Wang Che's order, Shisong's personal guards were all stunned. Shouldn't you send someone to rescue him?
"puff."
Wang Che swung his sword directly and killed Shisong's bodyguard in front of him.
"Captain?
What is this doing?"
Seeing Wang Che slashing and killing Shisong's bodyguard, everyone around him was dumbfounded. Under such circumstances, you dare to kill Shisong's bodyguard. Don't you want to live?
"If I don't kill him, then this battle will be over for us. Now sending people to rescue General Shisong is nothing more than letting the entire army die with him. If the infantry does not form a formation to fight against the cavalry, it is an act of suicide.
If we are defeated, Guangxin City will be completely destroyed. For the sake of Guangxin City, we can only let General Shisong down."
Wang Che looked at the bloody steel knife in his hand, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. It would be nothing if Shisong died, but if his support soldiers were gone, Guangxin might be in crisis.
"I see."
Hearing Wang Che's words, the village chief beside him could only nod. They could still decide whether Shisong was more important or Guangxin City was more important. Now they could only abandon one of them to take the overall situation into consideration.
"I understand, why don't you inform Shi Yu immediately?"
Wang Che glanced at the people around him and asked him to notify Shi Yu immediately.
"promise."
Soon Shi Yu received Wang Che's order without hesitation, and immediately began to evacuate with five thousand soldiers, retreating backwards, forming a defense line, and preparing to defend against the impact of the enemy's cavalry.
"kill."
Shisong's ability to become a general and his personal bravery are unquestionable. When he saw the enemy's cavalry rushing towards him, he directly rode his horse and killed the enemy with a gun.
Shisong was so brave that he directly killed the guards behind him. Even if he faced the extremely elite Yingyang Cavalry, he didn't show any fear at all.
"Crossbow, release."
"Crossbow, release."
Both sides saw the other side's cavalry at the first opportunity, and the strategies used were the same, with the crossbows taking the lead.
"Avoid arrows."
"Avoid arrows."
Seeing the crossbow arrows coming from the other side, the cavalrymen on both sides took measures to avoid the arrows. However, compared to Yingyangjun's various ways of avoiding arrows, most of the Jiaozhou cavalrymen only chose to lower their bodies and lie on their horses.
On the back, to avoid the attack of the opponent's crossbow.
A series of sounds of falling horses were heard, and countless cavalry fell off their horses, and for a while the sky was filled with smoke and dust.
"Throw a spear."
Cavalry crossbows, like infantry crossbows, need to be loaded and can basically only be fired once in a battle. However, Yuan Shu's cavalry has another weapon for close combat, which is throwing spears.
For a moment, the short spears flew around, flying through the space towards the enemy on the opposite side.
"puff."
"Peng."
"Herod."
For a moment, people were on their backs, and there were screams and screams everywhere.
"Knife fight."
After throwing the spear, the troops from both sides were already approaching. Zhang Lin directly drew out the Hun Jade Sword and killed the charging enemy.
Thousands of eagles' troops were like a rolling torrent that directly overwhelmed the horsemen led by Shisong. Without any surprise, Shisong's horsemen were directly cut off their horses.
Regardless of the number of people or the elite level, the Jiaozhou cavalry was far behind, and they were directly killed by the Yingyang cavalry.
"Go back and defeat them in one fell swoop."
Zhang Lin, who had penetrated the enemy formation, did not hesitate and took the lead to kill back. He knew that this cavalry must be the opponent's absolute elite. If he did not defeat them and went straight to the formation, he would probably be attacked by the enemy in front and the enemy's cavalry.
At that point, the advantage turns into a disadvantage, and the gain outweighs the loss.
The Yingyang cavalry followed Zhang Lin's footsteps, turned their horses' heads in an instant, and fought back towards the enemy again.
"General, leave quickly. We are no match for them. Leave quickly."
Seeing that the enemy turned around and came back to fight, Shisong's personal guard commander rushed directly to him and spoke to him anxiously.
"We can't escape. At such a short time, the king's chariot must not be well prepared. If I leave, all the soldiers and horses in front will be destroyed."
