Wu Han led two thousand light cavalry and formed a battle formation in front of Zhou Jianjun. Wu Han rode on his horse, looked around at the cavalry soldiers, and asked loudly: "Do you know why we are fighting today?"
All the cavalrymen responded in unison: "Support the Han Dynasty and kill the traitors——"
Wu Han took a deep breath and said loudly: "We are fighting for the brothers behind us! If we cannot resist the enemy's army, tens of thousands of brothers will be attacked from both sides, and this battle will be defeated!"
"I am determined to die, what about you?"
"We died in the battle, and my fellow countrymen took my bones back to our hometown! Our countrymen died in the battle, and my comrades took my bones back to our hometown!"
"Well said!" Wu Han raised his leg, picked up the silver halberd from the victory hook of the war horse, and said loudly: "If I, Wu Han, die on the battlefield today, brothers will take my body back to Luoyang.
!”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Two thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison.
Wu Han turned the horse's head to face the oncoming Liu Yongjun. He pointed the halberd forward and at the same time, clamped the horse's belly with his legs.
The war horse was in pain, raised its two front legs high, and neighed. Then, the war horse kicked off its four hooves and rushed forward.
The two thousand cavalrymen behind them all raised their spears, urged their horses, followed Wu Han, and rushed forward together.
Two thousand cavalrymen, bringing up the dust all over the sky, lined up in a straight line, like waves, and rushed towards the huge enemy army on the opposite side.
Seeing the cavalry coming, Zhou Jian ordered the entire army to stop advancing and form a square formation to prepare to meet the enemy.
The soldiers in the front row erected shields one after another, forming a long shield array. Looking at it, it looked like a steel wall.
The soldiers in the back row were holding spears and halberds, and their sharp edges poked out of the shield formation, turning the Great Steel Wall into an iron hedgehog.
Behind them are the archers. Amid the shouts and shouts, the archers bent their bows and set arrows, pointing their arrows in the air. A general shouted: "Positioning arrow——"
As he shouted, the arrow flew out, flying for about a hundred steps, before being nailed to the ground with a snap. The red ribbon tied to the tail of the arrow fluttered in the wind.
The positioning of this arrow determines the archers' shooting range. As long as the enemy's cavalry crosses this arrow, then the opponent has entered the range of our own.
Rumble——
The sound of the cavalry galloping was getting closer and closer. Whether it was the shield soldiers in the front row, the spearmen in the back row, the halberdiers, or even the archers, beads of sweat began to form in the palms of their hands unconsciously.
Seeing that the cavalry in front had already entered the shooting range, the leading general waved his sword forward and shouted: "Fire the arrow——"
Following his order, the archers fired arrows in unison.
Just as a buzzing sound was heard, a black cloud rose into the sky from Liu Yongjun's camp, flew high into the sky, drew an arc, and then crashed into the cavalry camp with a harsh whistling sound.
The cavalry under Wu Han were all Youzhou cavalry who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had rich combat experience. When they saw the enemy's arrow array fell, without Wu Han's command, the people lay down on their horses one after another, covering the area where they were under attack.
drop to lowest.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
Arrows were like raindrops, flying over people's heads. From time to time in the cavalry team, someone screamed, and the muffled sounds of horses falling down also came one after another. A dense layer of grass grew on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
'Black grass'.
The speed of the cavalry did not slow down, but became even faster. At the same time, Wu Han waved the Tiger Mighty Silver Halberd in his hand and drew two circles in the air. Seeing this, the cavalry behind him immediately started to change formations, pulling them horizontally and quickly
Change into a long vertical column.
Looking around, the cavalry, which was originally like waves, turned into a long dragon. A long snake formation! This is also the most commonly used formation for the cavalry to break the arrow formation.
Seeing the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, the general commanding the archers also had cold sweat on his forehead. He shouted repeatedly: "Fire the arrows! Keep firing the arrows!"
In front of the long snake formation, the lethality of the archers' arrow formation was sharply reduced. Wu Han, who was leading the way, brandished the mighty silver halberd and shot the oncoming arrows with all his strength. There was a tinkling sound all around him.
Everlasting.
The distance between the two sides was even closer. Wu Han once again raised his halberd high and swung it forward. The cavalry in the long snake formation returned to their horizontal arrangement and charged towards the enemy's shield formation on the opposite side with all their strength.
When the distance between the two sides was close enough, the cavalry in the front row took off their sweat towels from their necks and blindfolded the horses.
Horses are extremely afraid of sharp objects, so when there are many swords in front of them, the war horse will not obey the command of the owner. Regardless of the direct collision, the horse will either stop moving forward or instinctively get out of the way.
.
When a horse is blindfolded, no matter whether there is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire ahead, the horse will no longer have any fear and will rush forward according to the master's orders.
Finally, the two sides came into contact, and a continuous loud noise was heard in the ears. The galloping horses did not slow down at all, and crashed directly into the shield array.
The whine of the war horses was heard everywhere, and the cavalry on the horses fell down due to the inertia. However, the strong impact force made the soldiers behind the shield almost fly out, with broken bones and tendons, and blood flowing from the mouth and nose.
Wu Han used the tiger's mighty silver halberd to cut through the shield array in front of him, and rushed into the crowd. The halberd swept out, and blood mist spurted out. Several enemy soldiers had their chests cut open by the sharp blade, and they fell down screaming.
On the ground.
He held a halberd in both hands and fired his bow from left to right. The enemy troops around him would die if they came into contact with each other. In the blink of an eye, Wu Han rushed into the enemy camp more than ten meters away, leaving behind him a pavement of more than ten meters.
long corpse.
"Ah——" A Liu Yongjun general rode a war horse and held a spear, charging towards Wu Han. When he got close to him, he stabbed Wu Han in the chest with his spear.
Wu Han leaned back, and the iron spear pierced the tip of his nose. At the same time, he swept across with his halberd. With a click, the enemy general was cut off by the sharp edge of the halberd. His upper body fell to the ground, while his lower body was still on the horse's back.
Sitting on it.
As Wu Han opened a bloody path, the Youzhou Cavalry from behind also rushed in. As they passed by, their spears penetrated people's bodies and nailed them to the ground alive.
The cavalrymen did not pull out their spears anymore, but instead pulled out the ring-headed knives under their ribs and slashed the enemy troops on the left and right with the knives.
Cavalry has an inherent advantage against infantry, but Liu Yong's army was too numerous. He killed one group and then came up with more.
These two thousand assault cavalry rushed into the midst of more than 100,000 enemy troops. It was like throwing a stone into the lake, and they were quickly overwhelmed by Liu Yong's army.
Wu Han stopped advancing forward. At this time, he couldn't advance even if he wanted to. The front was full of enemy troops, so dark and dense that he couldn't see the edge at a glance.
Just when Wu Han was killing the enemy troops around him with all his strength, several cold arrows suddenly flew towards him from the crowd. Wu Han saw the opportunity and waved his halberd. Ding, ding, ding, all the arrows were deflected away.
Before he could catch his breath, he heard the evil wind behind him. Without thinking, he swept back with his halberd. Crack! Another cold arrow was deflected away.
However, Wu Han only deflected the arrow from above, but failed to deflect the arrow from below. With a pop, a cold arrow hit his thigh.
Wu Han grunted, and taking this opportunity, the surrounding soldiers swarmed forward, one after another, and thrust their spears at Wu Han on the war horse. Wu Han gave a loud shout and fiercely swung the halberd in his hand.
Click, click, click. The circle of spears that was thrust forward was cut off by the halberd. Wu Han thrust out a halberd forward and hit a soldier in the chest. He used his arms hard and swung sideways, knocking the soldier's chest.
The body was violently thrown out.
The soldier flew sideways and knocked down a group of comrades. Wu Han grabbed the arrow stuck in his thigh, took a deep breath, and pulled it out. At this time, two more cold arrows were shot from behind.
, Wu Han lowered his body, and whoosh, two cold arrows passed over his head.
Wu Han turned his horse's head and charged in the direction where the cold arrows were flying. However, before he could reach the archers in the crowd, several more cold arrows were shot from all around.
Wu Han, who was riding a war horse, was so eye-catching that he almost became a target for archers.
He gritted his teeth and rolled off his horse. The surrounding soldiers thought that Wu Han had been hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, so they cheered and gathered around him.
It's just that people rushed up faster and fell faster. Wu Han held the halberd in one hand and raised his arm. The sharp edge of the halberd drew an arc around him.
Liu Yongjun, who was surrounded by a large circle, all had blood spurting from their chests and fell to the ground screaming.
Wu Han held his halberd and slashed forward continuously, making crackling sounds one after another. Some of the enemy soldiers in front of him had half of their heads chopped off, some had their whole heads chopped off, and the fallen corpses were like dumplings.
.
After killing the enemy troops in front, the enemy troops behind surged up again. Wu Han turned around and continued to fire his halberd, killing the enemy troops behind in one breath.
It was too late, but it was fast. In just a short time, no less than a hundred soldiers of Liu Yongjun fell under Wu Han's halberd. The ground around him was covered with corpses.
Liu Yongjun who was around looked at Wu Han who was covered in blood. He was frightened and did not dare to step forward.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The general has an order. Whoever can behead this thief will be granted the title of Marquis of the Pass!"
This sentence made the timid soldiers of Liu Yongjun feel like they were given a shot of blood, and they launched an even more frenzied siege against Wu Han.
But before they could defeat Wu Han, a group of cavalry rushed up from behind them. The horses trampled them and slashed them with swords, causing a group of soldiers of Liu Yongjun who were besieging Wu Han to fall down.
A cavalryman led a war horse and came to Wu Han and said loudly: "General, mount your horse quickly!"
Wu Han took the reins, but before he could get on the horse, he heard several pop-pop pop-pop sounds. The cavalryman who led the horse to him was hit by several arrows and fell off his horse with his eyes wide open.
Wu Han, who was so close, had red eyes. He roared angrily, stopped mounting his horse, and dragged his mighty silver halberd towards the place where the cold arrow was fired.
The soldiers blocking the front surged up like a tide, and Wu Han thrust his halberd straight forward.
Click! The soldier who bore the brunt picked up his shield and tried to block Wu Han's halberd. However, the wooden shield fell into pieces the moment it blocked the sharp edge of the halberd. The halberd continued unabated and penetrated the soldier's chest.
Wu Handuan shouted, pushed his halberd, and rushed forward a few steps. The corpses of the soldiers knocked his companions behind into a large group.
Wu Han pulled out his halberd and swept forward. Several severed heads bounced into the crowd, followed by fountains of blood spraying into the air.
A school captain touched Wu Han's back and slashed out with a sword silently. Click! The armor behind Wu Han cracked with a sound, and blood flowed out from the gaps in the armor.
He gritted his teeth and stabbed back hard with the tail of his halberd. A snapping sound was heard in his ear. The tail of the halberd hit the captain's face. The latter didn't say a word. He fell on his back and twitched.
