(I went to work today. It is not easy for a small private factory to have four days off. I want to resume staying up late to code and keep up with the three shifts from today on. Please add it to your collection.)
Seven hundred heavy armored infantry stood in an array. They struggled to throw the throwing spears in their hands, and then stared to see whether their throwing skills were accurate. Seven hundred throwing spears were thrown, but the hit rate was actually not high, only a hundred.
About ten out of ten of the spears hit the Yan Army cavalry, but most of the spears pierced the bodies of the horses. The people who hit the horses looked happy, but the people who hit the Yan Army cavalry were unhappy.
How to put it? Let me explain it this way. The target of the heavy armored infantry is not the cavalry but the war horses. Those heavy armored infantry who knocked the cavalry off the horse actually missed the target...
More than half of the more than 300 mounted war horses were knocked down by one round of gunfire. The cavalry behind them had no time to grab the horses and dodge, and they stepped on the bodies of the fallen horses and cavalry in front. At least a dozen cavalry were rushed up from behind and could not be stopped.
Paoze was trampled to death. The horse's hooves as big as a bowl stepped on the human flesh as if they were stepping on snow, leaving a hole in the ground. People who were trampled to death by horses often had external injuries that did not appear to be fatal. In fact, the internal organs had been shattered like a puddle.
mud.
There are only more than a hundred people on horseback. How can the cavalry on the ground with the horizontal sword in their hands resist the encirclement of the Han army? In front are seven hundred heavily armored swordsmen armed to the teeth, and behind them are the formations that are gradually closing in.
The Pu Dao Shou and Bu Shu Shou were rushing towards them. There was a tiger in front and a wolf in the back. How to deal with them?
The general of the Yan army's cavalry roared loudly, ordered a cavalryman to dismount and hand over the horse to him, and then led the few cavalrymen to charge towards the heavy armored infantry. He knew that he only had a hundred or ten light armored cavalry to attack the square formation.
The heavy armored infantry was tantamount to death, but he had no choice in order for those fallen soldiers to rush out alive. Standing at the front of the cavalry queue again, he knew that he would fulfill the duties and obligations of a cavalry general for the last time!
kill!
He raised his sword and let out a loud roar.
More than a hundred cavalrymen were determined to die. They wanted to die in order to break through the heavy armored infantry formation and open a way for the horseless Paoze behind them to survive. They knew what their general had chosen, and
Like their generals, they had no regrets at this time.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one hundred soldiers formed a brigade, with one brigade leader and three brigades forming a regiment. The military system of the Northern Han Dynasty abolished the brigade organization, and only retained this organization for special operations troops. According to Liu
According to Ling's arrangement, there are no more than fifty heavy armored infantrymen in a team, and one team captain. There are three hundred people in a brigade, and there is one brigade leader. There are nine hundred people in one army, and there is one special general.
These 700 heavy armored infantry, led by Situ Zhengcheng, did not pay attention to the Yan Army cavalry at first. In their eyes, even Daliao's wolf cavalry was not scary, not to mention that they had been hastily formed and had not been drilled at all.
The team? But when the more than a hundred cavalry Yan Army rushed over, the expression on Situ Zhengcheng's face became solemn. Everyone understands that the sad soldiers must win. The Yan Army cavalry, which has no way to retreat, has now been reborn.
Even if their war horses have not been replaced by the best horses from the Western Regions, their weapons are still the big Han's standard horizontal sword, and they still don't even have a piece of light armor, their momentum has completely changed. This is no longer a force that people can look down on.
The team has been able to arouse respect from opponents.
The monstrous fighting spirit and fearless morale of these more than one hundred cavalry Yan troops are eye-catching. The momentum they displayed was actually more powerful than the previous cavalry team of 1,500 people!
Situ Zhengcheng shouted: "Arrange yourself in formation! Meet the enemy!"
The seven hundred heavy armor men under their command responded with a roar. At this time, they also noticed the changes in the more than one hundred Yan Army cavalry. Although such changes were not scary, they were enough to attract their attention.
The general of the Yan Army cavalry took the lead and slashed Situ Zhengcheng's shoulder diagonally with his sword. Situ Zhengcheng took a deep look at this enemy who deserved his respect, then withdrew, swung his sword, and slashed him down.
The heavy Mo Dao was able to cut through Mount Hua with one blow, splitting the Yan Army general and the horse he was sitting on at the same time. The light armor on the general's body could not stop the powerful and heavy Mo Dao. Half of the general's upper body was hugged
The horse's neck fell off, and its lower body fell to the ground together with the horse's body.
The horizontal swords of the Yan army's cavalry chopped off a stream of sparks on the heavy armored infantry, but it was rare that a few people could break through the heavy armor's defense. The staggered heavy armored infantry roared angrily, and swung the sword to kill the Yan army.
The cavalrymen and horses were split open at the same time. The horse's blood was very thick and bubbling when it was splashed on the snow. The entrails that spurted out suddenly fell to the ground, and were immediately trampled into pieces by the footsteps of the soldiers on both sides.
mud.
More than a hundred cavalry failed to penetrate the battle formation. They sacrificed their lives in exchange for killing more than a dozen heavy armored infantry. Even so, their record was respectable enough.
A random attack with no rules at all, and a fearless momentum that can shake the heavy armored infantry formation for a while is enough to be proud of!
Situ Zhengcheng pushed up his visor and shouted at the horseless cavalry who rushed towards him brandishing a horizontal sword: "Put down your weapons and surrender! I will spare your life!"
"Surrender! Spare your life!"
The heavy armored infantry shouted together with the leader, and for the first time they felt a little compassion for the enemy. They were all the strongest beings among the Han army's infantry, veterans who had survived hundreds of battles.
My heart, which was as cold as ice, was quietly melting a little bit at this moment.
The Yan Army soldier who was rushing at the front was stunned for a moment and his steps slowed down. He looked at the heavy armored infantry covered in blood in confusion in front of him, wondering whether he should believe the other party's call to surrender. After all, there were only a hundred of them left.
There were many people, and it was definitely more practical for the Han army to kill these people than to keep them. Gradually, the pace of their attack became slower and slower, changing from running to walking, and then they all stood frozen and looked at each other.
"Surrender!"
Situ Zhengcheng shouted again.
"Are you really not going to kill us?"
"Really not killing?"
A few Yan army soldiers boldly asked.
Before Situ Zhengcheng could answer, a cold shout completely killed the hopes of the Yan army soldiers.
"Kill! No one will be left!"
Situ Zhengcheng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw General Zhao Er coming on horseback. Zhao Er's eyes were as cold as knives, and Situ Zhengcheng subconsciously took a step back. Zhao Er glared at him, and then looked at the Yan Army soldiers.
Shouted: "Pick up your weapons and die like a man! Since you have chosen to rebel, you should think of your fate today. The men of Hedong are not afraid of death. Don't let me look down on you!"
A Yanjun soldier slowly bent down to pick up the Hengdao he had thrown away, smiling bitterly and crying: "What's the point of killing one more person? It's just adding another sin to my child. Since we are going the wrong way.
, I will end this ending myself!"
Suddenly, he stabbed the knife into his heart.
The corpse fell to the ground, with a relieved smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
A Yanjun soldier laughed loudly, tears dripping down his chin: "It's not that I don't want to live, it's the damn world that forces me to die! God, open your eyes and look! They are killing each other.
Who are they? Can’t you see? Are you blind!”
Swing the knife and kill yourself.
More than half of the Yan army soldiers chose to commit suicide. The remaining fifty or sixty Yan army soldiers were unwilling to kill themselves and rushed over with horizontal swords. However, the horizontal swords in their hands were too large compared to the heavy armor of the Han army.
If it is too light, there is no way to break through the opponent's defense. They slash at each other like crazy, and then die one after another laughing and crying.
The Yan army cavalry that attacked the Han army were eventually wiped out. Although their deaths did not defeat the Han army, they bought Ouyang Zhuan precious time. The Yan army in large groups ran away under the cover of the cavalry.
They didn't even have time to take a look at their heroic cavalry brothers.
Ouyang Zhuan only had less than 500 cavalry left. Although there were no less than 3,000 infantrymen following him, such strength made him feel unsafe. His soldiers kept shouting loudly to greet more and more Yan troops.
They gathered towards the Chinese army. Gradually, the Yan army soldiers, who were already in chaos and looked like headless chickens, seemed to have seen a bright light and rushed towards the Chinese army like crazy.
After running less than two miles, the soldiers around Ouyang Zhuan had gathered no less than 7,000 people. This was the largest unit of the Yan army so far. Of course, in the eyes of the Han army's cavalry, it was also the biggest target.
Liu Ling led two thousand cavalry to burn through the Yan army's camp in Zhuma County, and then led the cavalry to draw a beautiful arc and rush towards the defeated Yan army infantry like a big river. Zhuma
The 80,000 to 90,000 Yan troops stationed in the county camp were unable to withstand the attack of two thousand fine cavalry. They did not even have the courage to fight and fled.
Yes, they are not soldiers. They are common people who were forced to come here. The Yan army deprived them of their food and killed their wives and daughters. If they did not join the rebels, they would only die. So no one laughed at them.
They were cowardly, laughed at their fear of death, and laughed at their incompetence with more than 80,000 people against two thousand Han cavalry.
Liu Ling swept across the battlefield like a cavalryman. The fine armored cavalrymen of the Shenzhan Battalion were as fierce as adult leopards, and the long horse blades in their hands were their sharp fangs. Soon, the cavalry came under Liu
Under the leadership of Ling, he caught up with the last group of Yan troops who were defeated. Liu Ling stretched out his hand and pointed the extra long blue scimitar, and the cavalry behind him screamed and followed him to kill them.
Without any suspense, the Yan army, which had left its back to the enemy cavalry, was routed to death. The Shenzhan Jingjia was like a sharp knife, splitting the routed troops into two, and the awl-shaped attack formation cut the route into pieces and then fell into pieces.
They were killed layer by layer, and the cracks became larger and larger as the Shen Zhan Jingjiang penetrated deeper. Most of the Yan army's defeated soldiers were severely stabbed in the back, or pierced to death by a spear. The one with amazing arm strength
The Mingshen Zhan Jingjia actually pushed Ma Shu forward, who had strangled the corpses of three Yan soldiers. His ferocious face looked like a demon emerging from hell.
This group of about a thousand rebels was dispersed by the Shenzhan Jingjia in less than a cup of tea. The cavalry team with Liu Ling as the arrow continued to pursue them. The Han infantry behind them began to clear the battlefield, but it was too late.
The fleeing Yan troops either knelt down and surrendered, and the recalcitrant ones were blamed for killing them neatly. The surrendered people were driven into a group and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. General Zhao, the second-class general, did not issue any orders to kill these common people.
The reason why the Yan Army's cavalry was wiped out was because the Yan Army's cavalry were all die-hard loyalists of Ouyang Zhuan, and at least half of the veterans of the grain protection army formed the cavalry. If these people stayed, there was no guarantee that they would sincerely surrender.
It is better to take them in with fear than to kill them with a knife. But the common people are different. They are all forced to rebel. After laying down their weapons, how do they look like soldiers when they cry bitterly? (To be continued)
