The Zhou army with less than 500 cavalry lost a third of its men in a single collision with the Han army's armored cavalry. The Zhou army, which was knocked to pieces by the Han army's heavy cavalry, was overwhelmed before it could turn its horses.
In the torrent of Han army's light cavalry, less than 300 Zhou soldiers were left. They were rushed by the Han army's light cavalry and turned around again.
More than one hundred and ninety armored cavalry, carrying long horses, slammed into the Zhou army's formation like a torrent of steel. The shield-hands who had just rushed to the outside had not yet stood firm to form a shield formation, and the Han who pointed down slightly
The flashing light on the army horses already stung their eyes.
With a bang, the horse spear in the hand of the armored cavalry at the front hit the shield of a Zhou army soldier hard. The wooden shield covered with a layer of leather was immediately smashed into pieces.
It passed through the broken shield and plunged straight into the chest of the Zhou army soldier.
The huge impact force knocked the body of the Zhou Army soldier out. The Zhou Army soldier hanging on the edge of the sword died completely after hitting the body of Pao Ze behind him. The heavily armored knight on horseback lifted his body away.
He lowered the horse again. Like an armored vehicle, the heavy cavalry tore a hole in the shell of the Zhou army's defense which was not strong.
The armored cavalry advancing in a cone shape then continued to tear and expand the hole. They had just withdrawn the only spearman who could deal with the heavy armored cavalry into the formation. The shieldman wearing soft armor holding a shield and holding a horizontal sword could not stop it at all.
A collision with the armored cavalry. One hundred and ninety tall horses, carrying knights in full armor, fiercely cut into the Zhou army's formation.
Sun Xuandao pushed the stunned soldiers away, grabbed the flag and waved it himself. After receiving the order, the Zhou army immediately changed its formation, and the spearmen who suffered heavy losses once again rushed out to block the Han army's armored cavalry. And countless
The soldiers of the Zhou army began to rush towards the torn hole in the phalanx frantically, trying to block the gap.
Although the archers hiding behind the shield bearers already had sore arms from shooting bows continuously, they had no time to rest at this time. The dense arrows hit the armor of the Han army's heavy cavalry, and a string of sparks popped up.
But even if the arrow is fired within a dozen steps, the arrow is not powerful enough to tear through the armor.
A few feather arrows pierced through the gaps in the armor. The knight on horseback trembled, but did not stop. With cold eyes, he thrust his horse forward and knocked away one after another Zhou Jun soldiers.
The heavy cavalry, which has accelerated, penetrates the infantry defense, which is absolutely a nightmare for the infantry.
The layer of leather wrapped on the shield plays a very important role in blocking arrows. However, the horse-shaped shield used to defend against heavy cavalry is as fragile as using an egg to block a stone.
Even if it is a giant shield covered with a layer of iron, after being hit by the heavy cavalry, there is no way out except torn apart. Besides, this Zhou army does not have the equipment to cover the archers attacking the city and suppress the arrows of the defenders.
A huge shield. An infantry shield that is no bigger than half a man. When faced with an overwhelming horse, the outcome is already determined.
After the sharp horse sword smashes the shield, the half-meter-long sword blade can easily cut through the soft armor of the infantry, and can easily cut the unprotected throat of the infantry. What the heavy cavalry needs to do is just to pull the horse away.
Adjust the angle slightly.
The armor on the body of the war horse turned the horse into an indestructible weapon. In such a plain field battle, the Zhou army was all infantry, and they had no natural enemies.
However, the victory of the Zhou army was due to the large number of people and the quality of the soldiers. Although most of the infantry were frightened by the Han army's armored cavalry and the light cavalry who were circling outside and firing arrows, many people soon suppressed their fear.
They swarmed up and tried to stop the heavy cavalry with their own bodies.
Viewed from the sky, the heavy cavalry of the Han army looked like beetles covered with thick defenses, while the infantry of the Zhou army looked like densely packed ants.
Compared to beetles, although the power of ants is small, they are better in numbers. As long as they can stop this small number of armored cavalry, even one bite from one person is enough to slowly kill them.
Seeing that the Zhou army's phalanx had been torn apart, he ordered the cavalry to circle around the phalanx and fire arrows to kill the Zhou army. Hanasaburo waved his flag. He had already killed the soldiers on the periphery of the Zhou army layer by layer.
The light cavalry immediately turned their horses' heads, quickly put away their bows and arrows, and then drew out their horizontal knives that reflected the dazzling light in the sun.
Hanasaburo raised the iron gun in his hand and shouted: "Kill through!"
The cavalry roared angrily, and using Hanasaburo as an arrow, the cone-shaped torrent of cavalry rushed in along the defense that the armored cavalry had torn apart!
Hanasaburo at the front flicked his wrist, and the iron spear easily pierced the throat of one Zhou Jun. With another stroke, the soft armor of another Zhou Jun was cut open, and blood spurted out like a waterfall. His chest was cut open.
There was a long gash, and the internal organs were exposed to the air.
The light cavalry's horizontal sword soon stopped being sharp. The horizontal sword stained with too much blood lost its metallic luster, and instead exuded a bloody color.
With the help of inertia, the cavalry's horizontal sword easily wiped off arms, cut off necks, and chopped off half of the head. Blood was flying in the air as if it was splashed out. The air was filled with the smell of blood and
The smell of feces. This smell makes this area even more miserable.
No one is really not afraid of death at all, but some people can suppress their fear of death, and some people magnify their fear to no limit. And even if they can suppress their psychological fear, they cannot stop it.
A natural physiological reaction. When people are extremely frightened, they will become incontinent. Many people's crotches become extremely smelly before they die.
In panic, the Zhou army's spearmen finally organized themselves, and the dense spears continued to stab the knights on horseback. One by one, the bodies of the Han army cavalry were poked with bloody black holes by the spears. They were on horseback.
He was directly picked up by a spear and fell to the ground, and was immediately cut into pieces by the Zhou army that rushed forward.
Hanasaburo no longer knows how many people he has killed, and no one has time to remember how many enemies he has killed, and uses the enemy's heads to remember his military merits. The cavalry now has only one purpose, and that is to defeat the Zhou army.
The phalanx breaks through and kills the enemy formation.
As long as the Zhou army's defensive formation is disrupted, the Zhou army soldiers who lose the support of their comrades can only die faster.
Sun Xuandao kept changing his orders, and the infantry of the Zhou army crowded forward desperately. The gap was getting bigger and bigger, but more and more Zhou troops came to fill the gap in the square formation.
A spear went straight towards Hanasaburo from the diagonal stab. The soldier who was following Hanasaburo immediately cut off the spear with a horizontal knife, and wiped off half of the spearman's shoulder with one stroke. But it didn't take long.
Quickly, the spear handed over by another spearman pierced the soldier completely, and the body spurting blood was nailed down by the spear, while the war horse was still galloping forward.
Seeing that there was a gap around the opponent's general who was serving as the arrow, more spearmen of the Zhou Army launched an attack on Hanasaburo. Hanasaburo's personal soldiers rushed forward to take over the position of the dead Pao Ze, using cavalry shields to constantly protect Hanasaburo's body.
The soldiers fell down one after another, and Hanasaburo's body had been injured in many places.
Fortunately, his armor was sophisticated enough to offset the force of most of the weapons hitting it. However, the wound on his calf pierced by the Zhou soldiers was painful, and blood kept coming out like spring water.
Finally, with only six or seven soldiers left around him, Hanasaburo caught up with the armored cavalry in front. At this time, less than 80 of the more than 190 armored cavalry were still alive. However,
At this time, more than half of the Zhou army's formation had been torn apart, and it would not be far before the formation would be completely cut open.
Hanasaburo looked back and saw that the five hundred light cavalry who had followed him through the gap were now less than two hundred.
Under the protection of the heavy cavalry, Hanasaburo had a chance to check the battle situation. After a quick glance, he saw Sun Xuandao, who was waving the command flag about 150 steps away and was protected by his own soldiers. Sun Xuandao
All his soldiers on horseback had already rushed forward. At this time, in order to observe the battle situation and command the battle, he insisted on not dismounting and sitting on the horse to command.
The soldiers around him held their shields high to protect Sun Xuandao, while Sun Xuandao, with a solemn expression, kept waving flags to direct the infantry to encircle and suppress the cavalry entering the square formation.
Hanasaburo shouted: "Protect me!"
Then he hung the blood-stained iron gun on the victory hook and took off the iron-tied bow from behind. Four or five of his soldiers urged their horses forward, and with the protection of a few heavy cavalry, Hanasaburo was surrounded by another
No Zhou army can rush over.
He pulled out an armor-piercing awl, and the four-sided arrow said a cold light. He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his breathing, and at the same time suppressed the pain caused by more than a dozen wounds on his body. He suddenly lifted four
The iron bow of the power of stone is stretched out, and the hard bow like a full moon is like a perfect work of art, making people obsessed with the masculine charm it displays.
After shooting an arrow, Hanasaburo took a breath and quickly pulled out the second armor-breaking awl. He nocked the arrow and drew the bow. The huge iron-tied bow was once again fully drawn by him, and the armor-breaking awl once again brought the air-piercing wind.
Came out.
The first armor-breaking cone hit a shield protecting Sun Xuandao's chest. The huge force immediately shattered the shield into pieces. The shield hand staggered due to the impact, and the broken shield in his hand immediately fell away. He still
Before I could shout, the second armor-piercing cone roared and shot again - come!
After the continuous bloody battle, Hanasaburo had almost exhausted his strength. It was not easy for him to draw the four-stone iron bow twice. After the second arrow was shot, he only felt as weak as if his two arms were broken.
, can’t be pulled away for the third time.
The first armor-piercing awl accurately shattered the shield protecting Sun Xuandao's chest, but the second arrow was slightly off. The armor-piercing awl, which was heavier, thicker and longer than ordinary feather arrows, penetrated hard.
On Sun Xuandao's left shoulder, two-thirds of the length of the arrow actually passed through Sun Xuandao's body!
With a sound of ah, Sun Xuandao was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse!
Sun Xuandao's soldiers immediately rushed to protect Sun Xuandao who fell off his horse. The frightened horse spread its hooves and ran away. One of Sun Xuandao's legs was still hanging on the saddle, and he was unconscious like a corpse.
He was pulled forward by the horses like a corpse. A soldier shouted and struck the horse's neck with a knife. The heavy horizontal knife immediately cut most of the horse's neck open, and the horse fell to the ground with a mournful cry.
All the soldiers rushed over to rescue the coach. At this time, Sun Xuandao had no information about his identity, and half of his body was stained with blood.
Seeing the opportunity, Hanasaburo shouted: "Sun Xuandao is dead! Kill him!"
The soldiers guarding him also shouted: "The commander-in-chief of the Zhou army is dead, kill them all with fire!"
The cavalry following behind also knew that the opportunity was not to be missed. While slashing and killing Zhou Jun, they shouted like crazy: "Sun Xuandao is dead, Sun Xuandao is dead!"
After the Han army's light cavalry on the periphery killed more than 500 cavalrymen rushed by the Zhou army, with a roar, nearly two thousand cavalry rushed towards Sun Xuandao's position. (To be continued)
