Lu Fang's face turned green when he saw Chen Cheng standing in front of the infantry line. This was no better than a cavalry battle. The casualty rate of cavalry against the first row was 20 to 30% higher than that of the ones behind. When using infantry against cavalry, standing in the first row
Basically, they regard themselves as dead people. Killing one is enough to earn money, and killing two is profit.
"My lord has high hopes for tens of thousands of soldiers, so he should be commanding the central army!" Lu Fang shouted angrily: "Even if you want to go to the battlefield in person, you can just wait for the opportunity to lead the cavalry to charge, holding spears just like the infantry.
What is the point of squatting on the front line? Please forgive me for not understanding!"
Chen Cheng felt that what Lu Fang said was very reasonable, so he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, take my soldiers and go behind to stand by."
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "My lord is standing here, how can I hide behind him?"
Chen Cheng glared and shouted: "I'm not discussing with you, I'm giving you an order!"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said: "I obey!"
After that, he called to other soldiers: "Follow me!"
Lu Fang shouted: "My lord, please come under the general's flag and take command!"
Chen Cheng said: "This time you will take charge."
When Lu Fang wanted to persuade him again, Chen Cheng shouted: "If you can't do it, just say so and I'll let Xu Rong take charge!"
"Humph!" Lu Fang said bitterly: "I have never seen such a use of troops!"
He turned around, jumped on his horse, and ran towards the direction of the general's flag. Chen Cheng lamented in his heart: Only a devil is willing to squat in the front row with a spear, but if he doesn't do this, how can those powerful private soldiers in the county have the confidence to hold on?
Having just seen the huge formation created by the Huns, even he himself was shocked, let alone others. His martial arts is very strong. In a battle of about a hundred people, he is almost invincible. In a battle of a thousand people, he is almost invincible.
In large-scale battles, you can also rely on surprise attacks on enemy generals or roaming and shooting arrows to gain a huge advantage.
But as the number of troops increases, his role will become less and less. He can kill a hundred or two hundred people in one battle, which is almost the limit. Can he be expected to kill a car alone?
Tens of thousands of enemies? Even if there are tens of thousands of pigs, it will take several days to catch them.
And to be honest, he doesn't think his level of commanding on the battlefield is very high. Things like fighting rely on either talent or experience. His talent is probably above average, and he doesn't have much experience. Han Xin said that Liu Bang can
If it were Chen Cheng who commanded an army of 100,000, he would probably only have 10,000 or 20,000.
The main reason is that the communication delay in this era is so severe that micro-management cannot be carried out at all. Things like "moving the machine gun position ten meters forward" cannot be even thought about. Anyway, now it is Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu and himself who are respectively commanding the route.
If there are soldiers and horses, then he has nothing to command. He just needs to fight hard to kill the enemy. Killing people is what he is best at.
The movements of tens of thousands of cavalry were earth-shattering, and the smoke spread for ten miles. The Huns divided into more than twenty thousand-man teams and rushed towards the south. The drums of Cheng Yi's army on the left wing were loud, and the six thousand cavalry spread out and pulled out
The front, more than two miles long, faced the Huns and rushed forward.
Yang Qiu and Chen Cheng in the middle chose the same tactics, placing the infantry in the front row and the cavalry in the back, preparing for a defensive counterattack. When the Huns' cavalry rushed up, the sound of clappers in the infantry formation was heard, and thousands of soldiers
Zhang Qiang pointed his bow diagonally upward and fired in unison. The arrows rose up like a rapidly moving dark cloud.
Dense arrows fell, and more than a hundred Huns cavalry fell off their horses on the spot, and were immediately trampled to pieces by the people behind them. More people and horses carried arrows, but they were only injured but not killed. Even though the Huns' armor was very poor
, but the lethality of the thrown light arrows was still too small. Moreover, the Huns' light cavalry moved quickly, and many arrows were inserted into the ground diagonally.
The second round of arrows killed more Huns, and then the third round of direct fire. The Hun cavalry on the opposite side fell to the ground one after another. The archers finished shooting three rounds and ran back quickly. The crossbowmen nervously shot
More than a thousand powerful crossbows were raised, and then the triggers were pulled hard. Amidst the sound of the machine gun, the short crossbow bolts shot out. The powerful crossbow bolts penetrated the galloping horses and human bodies, and hundreds of war horses fell down with neighing sounds.
land.
At this time, the Huns had already rushed less than thirty steps in front of the formation. Seeing thousands of cavalry rushing towards them, Chen Cheng only felt as if he was in a stormy sea. He cursed in his heart: How could such a thing happen?
Using cavalry? These people are so barbaric!
He roared at the top of his lungs: "Steady, steady!"
Beside him, the spearmen stood up and leaned side by side, their densely packed spears pointing out diagonally. Even if Chen Cheng wore two layers of armor, there was no guarantee that he would be completely fine at this time. The Huns opposite him
The person was so close that he could see clearly. With his dirty and smelly clothes, ferocious face, and high mental stress, time seemed to have been slowed down hundreds or thousands of times.
He watched the spear in the hands of the Huns directly opposite being raised, and ripples appeared on the tip of the spear that shone with cold light. The sounds around him were stretched, and everyone's movements became extremely slow, looking very...
Ridiculous.
Chen Cheng clenched his left hand and used the shield to protect the side of his body. He exerted force with his right arm, his biceps bulged high, pushing up the armor, and the spear in his hand slowly but firmly stabbed the oncoming horse.
At this time, he still has time to think about other problems. Every battle must be fought with all his strength. For soldiers fighting on the front line, every battle may be the difference between life and death.
.If I hadn’t relied on the fact that I wouldn’t really die, would I still be so brave?
Even when Guan Zhong and others abandoned their weapons and fled, could I be more determined and fearless than them? The answer is probably no.
The spear slowly touched the war horse's neck, and the flow of time suddenly returned to normal. The war horse was stabbed through the body by the sharp spear, and screamed as it hit the shield in front of Chen Cheng. The huge momentum was transferred and knocked him
He took a step back. There was a shock on his back, and the kinetic energy was transferred, knocking the soldier behind him to the ground.
Chen Cheng used his shield to push away the body of the war horse, and pierced the Huns on the ground with his spear. The Huns suppressed his body with the war horse and could not move. Seeing Chen Cheng raising his spear, he couldn't help but let out a desperate cry. The spear stabbed down.
, hit the Huns in the neck. The sharp spear point cut in diagonally, severed the spine, and the man turned into a corpse on the spot.
The spear was withdrawn with force, and then thrust out to the side. The Huns on the side just got up from the ground. When they saw Chen Cheng killing a companion neatly, they were shocked by the speed with which he waved the spear. Waiting until he saw
Due to Chen Cheng's attack, the Huns couldn't help but show a look of horror on their face. Without caring about anything else, he threw away his weapon and grabbed his shield with both hands to block the attack.
Then there was a flash of cold light and the roar of the wind. The Huns' body shook, and the shield in their hands suddenly shattered. After the spear penetrated the shield, it continued to castrate, piercing the owner of the shield. Chen Cheng withdrew the spear with force, and then
He stabbed the next enemy. His front, back, left and right were caught in the melee. The impact of the cavalry could not be easily offset by the infantry. Even if the horse was stabbed to death by the spear, the force of the collision was not so easy to eliminate.
The entire front line was in chaos. Chen Chengjun's infantry suffered heavy casualties, but they also killed many Huns cavalry. After losing their impact, the Huns' combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The horses trapped in the infantry battle formation could not move forward.
He was unable to retreat, and even turning around was difficult, and he was chopped down to the ground one by one by the infantry.
The crossbowmen at the rear of the infantry phalanx fired freely at the battle line. Arrows and short crossbow bolts flew across the battlefield, killing the Huns one by one. The Huns' guerrilla shooters also rode horses from the periphery to attack the battle formation.
Arrows poured out, and soldiers fell down screaming from time to time.
Further outside, the Huns' cavalry penetrated through the gaps in the battle formation. Some of them rushed directly to the general flags at the rear, while others used straight swords and short spears to kill the soldiers on the edge of the infantry battle formation, or
They were flying while firing bows and arrows. The short spears used by the Huns were not very long, only between one and a half to two meters, much shorter than the spears used by the infantry. If the infantry were determined, the Huns would
People can't take advantage at all.
Chen Cheng immersed himself in the fight. He held up his shield and spear and roared loudly while killing the enemies one by one. Gradually, many soldiers followed him, shouting and killing the Huns who had lost their impact.
Not far in front of him, a Huns stabbed an infantryman with a short spear. Before he could pull out the short spear, Chen Cheng had already taken three steps forward and threw the long spear in his hand.
The spear shot like a shooting star, knocking the Huns off the horse. Several infantrymen rushed forward and slashed around the man until blood and flesh flew everywhere. He didn't know how long the fight lasted, but Chen Cheng could only feel the pain all over his body.
He was soaked in blood and even his eyes were blurred, but suddenly everything around him was empty. He came back to his senses and looked around, only to see dozens of corpses lying scattered around him.
The surrounding soldiers were like blood gourds, covered in blood. Some Huns cavalry retreated in embarrassment, but Zhao Yun led the cavalry to cover up and kill them from behind. Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Zhao Yun, with his silver spear and white horse, was unstoppable.
Knocking down enemies one by one in front of everyone's gaze.
On the Yellow River on the right, dozens of ferries have lowered their anchors and are lined up along the river. The soldiers on the boats are busy cocking the crossbows. The sound of gold rings under the generals' banners in the rear. Zhao Yun reined in his horses and led them.
The cavalry turned around and ran back. There was a burst of cheers from the position, and the soldiers uttered various curses at the retreating enemy.
"Whoosh", Chen Cheng took a deep breath, and his chest was filled with the sweet smell. After killing for a long time, most of the soldiers on the side were tired to death, but he only felt that his energy was getting better and better. Every time
The weapon cut into his flesh, and every time the steel collided, sparks shot out, making his spirit even higher.
Chen Cheng put his fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly. With a long hiss, Gulu passed through the corpses and crowds on the ground and rushed to him. Chen Cheng got on his horse and ran back to the place where the general's flag was planted on the high ground.
.
When Lu Fang saw Chen Cheng riding up to the high ground, he took two steps to the side and gave up the command.
"Immediately ask the civilians to come forward and clean the battlefield, evacuate our wounded soldiers as soon as possible, and carry the wounded soldiers of the Huns to the front." Chen Cheng said: "Find a few more intact prisoners of war and ask them to tell the leader of the Huns
: God has the kindness to save lives, and we are willing to return the wounded soldiers to them."
This is not the first time he has used this trick. As long as the other party accepts the trick, whether he agrees or disagrees, he will fall into the trap. If he agrees, it will be a waste of time, and after the wounded soldier is brought back, he will see
Soldiers will inevitably feel the same and feel fear. If they disagree, it will make the soldiers suspicious. The next time they fight, they will think that they must not get hurt, otherwise they will be dead.
Chen Cheng thought to himself: This is called conspiracy!
The few freed Huns rode towards the north quickly, like rabbits being chased by wild beasts.
But Chen Cheng's hope soon turned into disappointment. Under the banner on the opposite side, several more cavalry troops were separated and ran out at a trot. After the Huns cavalry ran out, they spread out to both sides and formed a wide front.
.
Chen Cheng put his hands on his forehead and said to himself: I knew things would never be smooth sailing.
It turned out that the Huns only temporarily retreated as a whole team, rather than being repulsed. The infantrymen on the position turned pale at each other, and many began to look back to the rear. Their martial arts were not bad, but their organization was much worse than that of the Northern Army.
.Only withstood a single attack by the Huns, the infantry phalanx was already showing signs of collapse.
But it’s no wonder they were there. The Huns who had just rushed up seemed to be going crazy, and many of them hit them with their horses and men. Fortunately, most of the horses still did not dare to face the sharp spears, otherwise,
The impact alone can break through all five infantry phalanxes here.
Moreover, these Huns are very well equipped and are probably the enemy's elite.
Looking at his own messy position and the bloodstained soldiers on the position, Chen Cheng sighed in his heart and said to himself: I originally thought that the Huns were similar to the Wuhuan people, but I didn't expect them to be so smart. The Wuhuan people were Zhang
Zhang Chunyan has no temper at all, and his spirit and spirit are incomparable to those of the Huns.
