Shen Wannian did not expect that the Han army would clear the barriers in the valley overnight and clear a passage for their heavy armored cavalry!
Although the number of heavy armored cavalry in formation was small, they were magnificent! A thousand heavy armored cavalry controlled the horses to maintain the same rhythm and marched in an orderly manner. The rhythmic sound of horse hooves on the ground was heard one after another. , Mighty thunder seemed to step directly into Zhou Jun's heart. The valley was very dark, and the rising sun cast down wisps of it, dotting the floating torrent of steel with little rays of light.
Black armor, cavalry, gods descending to earth.
The neat cavalry gradually increased their speed. They did not change their formation. They were still in a multi-row square formation instead of a more penetrating conical formation. The reason was simple. Heavy armored cavalry faced infantry, and there were no heavy armored infantry in the Zhou army. There are not too many spearmen. In this way, the Han army's heavy armored cavalry will hardly encounter too strong obstacles. Because the Zhou army is guarding the valley, there are not many cavalry. There are only more than 500 cavalry in total. In the first confrontation, Zhao Er and Liu Ling's fifty soldiers killed nearly 200 cavalry.
The remaining three hundred cavalry are also in light armor. If they turn around and run now, the heavy armor of the Han army will definitely not be able to catch up with them. But if they are facing the enemy head-on, the light cavalry of the Zhou army will be the same as rushing up. Death. The terrain here determines that the light cavalry has no place to play. It is too narrow to use roundabout harassment tactics. This section of the valley is only more than a hundred meters wide. A thousand Han heavy armored cavalry are marching in formation, and the deep valley has been occupied. Full. The Zhou army's light cavalry could not carry out flank harassment at all, and the cavalry bows they equipped were unable to tear through the thick armor of the Han army's heavy armored cavalry!
Shen Wannian's heart sank little by little.
I originally thought that I could hold on for at least a month, but now, in just a few days, the barriers built in the first-line gorge have been completely lost. The reason for holding this section of the valley now is because it is the narrowest place, and troops can be filled here. A city wall of flesh and blood was built to prevent the Han army from advancing, but now Shen Wannian feels that the end has come. With the thousands of men and horses under his command, they are all light-armored infantry, and archers account for most of them! How can he withstand that attack? Thousands of heavy armor?
When the Han army's heavy armored cavalry was still 200 steps away from the Zhou army's formation, many archers in the Zhou army could not bear the huge pressure and started shooting arrows one after another. With the exquisite bows made by the Zhou Precision Workshop in their hands, It is not difficult to send a wolf-fang arrow two hundred steps with a walking bow, but it is unable to kill the enemy. Those flying wolf-fang arrows hit the heavy armor of the Han cavalry, and not even a spark was thrown out. It fell down. The heavy cavalry of the Han army, armed to the teeth, simply ignored these wolf-fang arrows and allowed the arrows to hit themselves.
Of course, more arrows fell on the ground and did not shoot that far at all.
"Don't release the arrow yet! Release the arrow within a hundred steps!"
Shen Wannian yelled, but the soldiers didn't hear him at all. The Han army's heavy armored cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the horses treading the ground was infinitely amplified in the hearts of every Zhou army soldier, shocking them. His heart could hardly bear it. Some people began to retreat, but the dense robes behind him had blocked his retreat, and he could not move.
One hundred and fifty steps, the Zhou army's archers did not wait for the general's order and began to pour out their arrows crazily. The dense arrows were like a heavy rain, and more than half of the remaining thousands of Zhou army's archers were They had no murderous swords, no sharp rifles, and even the leather armor was thinner than other arms. So they knew they could not cause harm to the Han heavy armored cavalry, but they still drew their bows and shot arrows desperately. Draw the bow and send the arrow out.
The tinkling sound was subtle but harsh in the sound of horses' hooves, and the strings of sparks were equally subtle but dazzling. The expensive heavy armor showed super defensive power. The chain armor covering the outside of the iron armor blocked the arrows. All blocked, even the powerful armor-piercing cone cannot penetrate the flexible and strong chain armor. The two layers of armor weigh a total of sixty kilograms, which is unbearable for those who are not strong. As for Liu Ling's Shura Camp soldiers , all of them are burly and sturdy men!
One hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps.
"All spearmen come forward! Form a defense!"
Shen Wannian roared hoarsely. The only thing he could do now was to use the most correct command to reduce the casualties of his soldiers. There were not many methods he could use, except...escape.
Knowing that there was no way to retreat, the soldiers of the Zhou army suppressed the fear in their hearts while executing the general's orders. They were the Yongxing army who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they were the most powerful army in the Zhou Dynasty. They are the only ones. The Yongxing Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has 200,000 troops, guards the southwest front line, and owns half of the country. Of course, if they fight with the same number of troops, they may not necessarily be the opponent of the Twelve Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but their pride is Not less than the soldiers of the Twelve Guards!
When they faced the Shu Kingdom, the elite soldiers of the Shu Kingdom were vulnerable to them. They captured several states in succession. This great honor made the Yongxing Army full of pride from top to bottom. The Twelve Guards Soldiers What is it? Not to mention that the Twelve Guards soldiers did not go to the battlefield at all when they faced Shu. Let’s just say that when they faced the Southern Tang Dynasty, it seemed that the Twelve Guards soldiers had made outstanding achievements. If it were not for the Yongxing Army’s large-scale march southward, they were defeated continuously. With the three reinforcements from the Southern Tang Dynasty, those guards had a chance to attack the city? Even His Majesty the Emperor said that the Yongxing Army should be the first to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, even if they were afraid, they wanted to escape, but the laziness and fear of death they had developed in the past few years were quickly suppressed by the pride in their bones. The small number of spearmen began to replace the front row archers in an orderly manner. Go down, and then form a defensive formation in front of the array. They held the spears in their hands tightly. The first row of soldiers squatted down, put the gun barrel on the ground, and pointed the tip of the gun diagonally towards the sky. The second row squatted half-crouched, and also put the gun on the ground. The gun barrel is pressed against the ground. The third row stands bent down, the fourth row stands upright, and the gun barrel is placed on the shoulders of the soldiers in the third row.
Thirty steps later, the rumbling sound of horse hooves made people's hearts palpitate. The soldiers of the Zhou army could even see the eyes of the Han army's heavy armored cavalry with cold murderous intent behind their visors.
Thirty steps later, without anyone giving an order, the heavy armored cavalry in the front row began to throw their spears. Hundreds of spears roared in, instantly nailing dozens of Zhou soldiers to the ground. Then, more and more spears were thrown. When they came over, in an instant, two to three hundred Zhou soldiers were impaled to death.
boom!
The Han army's heavy armored cavalry crashed into the Zhou army's defensive position without any fancy. Although the originally small number of spearmen knocked dozens of heavy armored cavalry to the ground, they were unable to stop the torrent. Soon, the heavy armored cavalry was unable to stop the torrent. , the black iron stream rushed unstoppably into the Zhou army's position. The long horse spears stabbed the Zhou army soldiers to death one after another and then bounced away. Those heavy armors put down their horse spears without any delay at all, and then stabbed them to death. The next opponent. In the khaki camp, a bloody light burst out. The black Han heavy armor stepped unstoppably into the Zhou army wearing khaki uniforms.
trample!
This is another way of killing by the heavy armored cavalry. Including the knights, the weight of the horses and armor combined is nearly a thousand kilograms! Once the knocked down Zhou soldiers were trampled by the horses, they were immediately paralyzed like mud. He fell down. A horse leg stepped on the chest of a Zhou Jun. His chest suddenly collapsed, and blood came out of his mouth like a fountain.
"General! We can't stop you anymore. Let the cavalry protect you and leave first!"
Shen Wannian's soldiers pulled hard on his armor, but he seemed to be petrified. He just stood there stiffly, watching one after another Zhou army soldiers being killed by the Han army's heavy armor. His eyes The sky is red, the ground is red, and the people are all red.
What’s even more frightening is that the war horses of the Han army’s heavy armored cavalry are biting like wild beasts! The air spurting out from the horses’ noses carries the smell of blood! Those war horses that are like wild beasts smell it The smell of blood gradually became more exciting, and his red eyes were filled with violent emotions.
"General! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Shen Wannian's soldiers desperately pulled Shen Wannian back, and Shen Wannian was mechanically pulled back by the soldiers. His eyes were still staring at those devilish Shura-like cavalry, as if he had lost everything. Consciousness is the same as a dead person.
"Take the general and go first! I'll take the lead!"
Shen Wannian's personal brigade leader roared and ordered four or five personal soldiers to pick up Shen Wannian and run back. But he himself organized his men to resist the Han cavalry. However, the whole army collapsed. What could their team of a hundred or ten people do? Their small and inconspicuous team went upstream and rushed towards those heavy armored cavalry who killed people without blinking an eye.
Shen Wannian's mind went blank. He could see the bloody killing scene in his eyes, but he couldn't hear a sound in his ears. His hand was holding his weapon tightly, but he was unable to lift it. He was beaten four or five times. The soldiers retreated back, and a group of Zhou army's light armored cavalry found the general and began to join them here desperately.
Suddenly, a black shadow as fast as lightning rushed over from one side. One of Shen Wannian's soldiers was thrown to the ground by the shadow without even reacting. A fishy smell rushed into the soldier's nose. , then he saw a huge ferocious head and a bloody mouth that had been opened.
The Black Panther broke through the enemy and bit off the soldier's throat, then ignored it and quickly pounced on the next person. Its speed was so fast that Shen Wannian's soldiers could not lock its position.
A soldier's eyes flashed black, and when he turned back, he couldn't help but stood there frozen, his eyes wide open, and he was filled with overwhelming fear.
The black panther was biting Shen Wannian's throat, dragging the body that was still twitching, and retreating step by step. Those blood-red eyes were constantly scanning the stunned surroundings with vigilance. Soldier. It let out a low threatening roar in its throat, dragging Shen Wannian's body back bit by bit in the direction of the Han army.
Black Panther, defeat the enemy. (To be continued)
