Although this ditch is not deep, it is still wide enough. If the Northern Zhou cavalry took the risk to cross it with their horses, they would have better skills and strong horses, but the rest would almost inevitably fall into the ditch.
The Northern Zhou cavalrymen looked at the dancing flames in front of them, and their thoughts were complicated for a moment.
The enemy seemed to have anticipated their presence and even their attack method. It seemed that the cavalry were charging forward, but the fact was that every step on the battlefield was under the control of the enemy.
The Han army's crossbowmen had almost reached the edge of the river ditch, and they were ready to shoot the next round of arrows.
"Let's go!" The Northern Zhou general who led the team hurriedly turned his horse's head.
The next moment, arrows came whistling like locusts.
In the panic of the Northern Zhou cavalry, many people were hit by arrows, but fortunately, the formation was completely dispersed when they attacked, so the damage caused by this arrow was not very heavy.
And after turning their horses' heads, the Northern Zhou cavalry were also surprised to find that they had crossed the trench and were fighting with the Northern Zhou infantry group. In other words, the sides and rear of the left and right wings of the Han army that was suppressing the Zhou people were exposed to their sabers.
Down.
This Han Qinhu, in order to protect the Chinese army, actually made such a stupid move!
The two Northern Zhou generals leading the team unanimously issued the order to charge forward.
But before they could pick up the speed of their war horses, there was another sound of horse hooves, and a group of cavalry under the banner of the Han Dynasty roared from the north. They were very fast, as if they had already prepared to enter the battlefield.
I was ready, so I started to speed up from the horizon and ran forward all the way.
"Fight!" The Northern Zhou general on the north side quickly realized that the target needed to be changed.
The enemy's soldiers and horses seemed to only have more than 2,000 men, but Qingyishui'er's tall and powerful horses from the northwest, and even in the midst of running wildly, the formation did not appear to be scattered at all, and the horses in their hands were facing forward at the same time, as if they were ready.
Prepare for impact.
They didn't plan to slow down a little and then draw their bows and arrows, but they just planned to charge straight over!
He must be the best among the best.
The Northern Zhou generals have already come to a conclusion.
The two teams, which had already increased their speed, collided fiercely. Ma Shan and Saber clashed, and bursts of brilliant sparks flew out.
"Kill!" Hou Mi thrust his horse into the chest of the Northern Zhou cavalry who was facing him, and then forcibly pushed him off his horse. And a Northern Zhou cavalry behind roared and rushed up from one side. Obviously, he
Ma Shan, who planned to seize Hou Mi, still had this rare opportunity on his companion's chest.
"Dang!" Hou Mi decisively threw away the saber and drew out the horizontal saber, just in time to block the saber coming down head-on.
"Dang Dang!" The Northern Zhou cavalry swung their swords and slashed desperately, but in front of Hou Mi, a cavalry general who had experienced hundreds of battles, even if he had the upper hand, he could not take advantage at all.
"Dang!" There was another sharp sound, and Hou Mi's horizontal sword cut at the lower position of the Northern Zhou soldier's blade, and unexpectedly knocked his sword away. It was as if Hou Mi was about to give him the last blow.
During the attack, a horse spear suddenly stabbed from the side of the ground and took away the man's life.
"Yu Xi!" Hou Mi glared angrily.
Yu Xi, who had been Hou Mi's companion and partner for a long time, didn't care at all. He just smiled and reached out to pull up Hou Mi's horse and threw it to him: "There are many people ahead, let's go?!
"
Hou Mi snorted coldly, raised his horse and continued to rush forward.
"You kid is cheating!" Yu Xi yelled.
As the most famous cavalry generals in the Northwest Army, Hou Mi and Yu Xi naturally assumed the task of going south to support the Qizhou war. In fact, they were also accompanied by three thousand men that Cao Zhong squeezed out from his teeth.
In order to prepare the infantry for the next Battle of Xiaoguan, it is naturally impossible to send too much military power from the northwest to the south.
However, in order to support Han Qinhu in time and complete the blocking of the Northern Zhou cavalry, Yu Xi and the others could only leave the three thousand infantry in the north of Qizhou City and let them cooperate with Niu Hong to attack the city, while they rushed all the way to this place.
Bian came over.
This sudden burst of Han cavalry completely disrupted the rhythm of the battlefield, and the infantry and cavalry on both sides also fell into a melee as they clashed left and right.
Although the two thousand cavalry of the Han army can be regarded as real elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, they actually have no advantage when facing the more numerous Northern Zhou cavalry. Therefore, Yu Xi and Hou Mi decisively resisted
These Northern Zhou cavalry have been involved in the infantry formation. Of course, the Northern Zhou people also knew how much of a threat the cavalry broke into the infantry formation, especially now that the Northern Zhou army was shaky under the impact of the Han infantry.
, I can’t stand it any longer.
Therefore, in desperation, the Northern Zhou cavalry could only rush in, and the position where the Han cavalry cut in was the Zhou people's forward. In the hook formation, being the forward charging into the formation actually did not have much effect, so the arrangement
There are not many soldiers and horses, but it can also be said to be the last reserve team in Li Yan's hands. The left and right wings of both sides were entangled, and Han Qinhu's Chinese army only had a group of guards riding across the river.
Under the circumstances, Li Yan actually has an advantage in the number of troops he can mobilize.
Unfortunately, now the Han cavalry rushed in, followed by the Zhou cavalry, and the last square formation fell into complete chaos, leading to the current situation.
These two boys are quite shrewd.
Han Qinhu sighed secretly, drew out his horizontal sword, and looked at the last two trench-filling trucks left next to him. Han Qinhu was certainly not stupid. He had spared his efforts just now and not packed all the trench-filling trucks.
Go into the trench: "Push the trench-filling truck over, and ride with your own bodyguards, prepare to rush and kill with someone!"
"No!" hundreds of guards responded at the same time.
As soon as the trench-filling truck rushed into the trench, Han Qinhu whipped his horse hard: "Kill!"
As the last reserve team, Han Qinhu's personal cavalry also entered the battlefield.
Han Qinhu would not miss the opportunity to have a face-to-face discussion with Li Yan.
If Li Yan represents the previous generation of generals, most of whom have turned into smoke and dust with the wind, then Han Qinhu represents the new generation that has officially grown up.
This is a battle between two countries and a battle between two generations.
Han Qinhu will not embarrass the younger generation.
"Capture Li Yan alive!"
"Capture Li Yan alive!" Seeing their general's flag crossing the ditch, the last stone in the hearts of the Han soldiers fell to the ground.
The general is behind them, they have no choice but to fight to the death!
The Han army attacked like a wave for a while, and the Northern Zhou army, which did not have the advantage in numbers, was even more confused because the last five thousand cavalry, their trump card, was blocked by the enemy. They could only retreat step by step.
When Li Yan was at the drum of the Chinese army, he could already see that the left and right wings were shrinking inward because they were under too much pressure. He could also see that the forward array was in chaos and it was difficult to escape.
