Chapter 1642: The power of the heavy armored soldiers
This battle is probably going to be a disaster!
But Sima Xiaonan also knew that he had to fire his arrow when he was ready. The reckless charge of the Xianbei cavalry had already kicked off this battle. Since he had already attacked, he could only do his best to completely defeat the enemy.
The drums of the Chinese army sounded, and the Northern Zhou infantry brigade pressed forward. Even if the Xianbei cavalry's assault was defeated, they could rush forward immediately and give the enemy continuous attacks.
At the same time, the Northern Zhou cavalry once again gathered in the center, preparing to completely crush them with thunderous momentum, letting these ignorant Southern barbarians know how powerful the Xianbei cavalry was!
The Han army's formation split open again, and the heavy armored soldiers and Modao troops strode out.
The shields were closed again, and after the crossbowmen completed the last round of volleys, they gradually retreated, and their positions were taken by more infantry from behind. At this time, our own heavy armor was about to collide head-on with the enemy's cavalry.
Whether it is muskets or crossbows, it is better to put them away to avoid hurting your own people. Even the armor on these heavily armored soldiers, ordinary arrows and even bullets have no effect.
The Xianbei cavalry were obviously aware of this, because many of the arrows they fired hit these guys who wrapped themselves up like iron cans, but the arrows were only inserted into their armor and did not
Prevent them from taking steps to move forward!
Where did these guys come from?
"Kill!" Before the Xianbei cavalry could react, the heavy armored soldiers had already rushed into their ranks. Of course, it could also be said that the Xianbei cavalry hit them head-on.
The big ax was waved, the light shone, and blood sprayed on the armor. The Xianbei cavalry heading towards them were shocked to find that their horses even had no heads. After relying on inertia to rush forward two steps, the horses fell to the ground.
And they tried to get up in embarrassment, but found that the iron-clad man who looked so heavy just now was already in front of them!
It's like a big mountain is pressing directly on your face.
Without any hesitation, the heavy armored soldiers stepped directly over the corpses of these war horses and the still-living enemies. Their heavy bodies stamped on them, and blood naturally flew everywhere, while a large number of warm internal organs followed their steps.
The armor was shaking, but I didn't know whether it belonged to a human or a horse.
Just now, when the two sides had not completely collided, you could still hear the killing sounds from the heavy armored soldiers. But at this time, the two sides had completely fallen into a melee. The killing sounds were no longer replaced by the heavier and heavier breathing of the heavy armored soldiers.
But the mountain axes in their hands were still dancing wildly, either slashing at the horses, or directly slashing at the enemy's cavalry.
However, the Xianbei cavalry are Xianbei cavalry after all. Years of training on the battlefield have given them enough courage to face this new enemy. A famous cavalryman rushed forward without fear of death. They relied on the huge impact of the war horses to forcefully collide with each other.
To the heavy armored soldier.
It doesn't matter if the horse dies. The cavalry who have learned from their fallen companions will jump off the horse directly to avoid being pressed to the ground by the horse, and the sharp sabers in their hands will cut down the heavy armor almost in the next moment.
Sparks flew from the soldier's body, and the knife slid downwards along the armor, finding any gap and going directly into it.
And if the war horse is still alive, that would be even better. The war horse can directly knock the heavy armored soldiers to the ground. Although their armor can ensure their survival, it is impossible to stand up again with such a heavy thing on their body.
It was so easy. Before his companions could rush over to support him, more Xianbei cavalry would swarm forward and trample him with their horses, or slash and stab him with swords and spears. They could always take the life of this heavily armored soldier.
There were about 300 heavy armored soldiers in the battle, and the Xianbei cavalry was ten times their number.
I'm afraid these arrogant Xianbei cavalry never thought that they, who were accustomed to defeating more with less, would one day use their numerical superiority to win.
Even with such a huge numerical advantage, it would be difficult for them to eliminate these enemies for a while. This is what depresses the Xianbei cavalry the most. These heavy armored soldiers are like rocks in front of the tide, no matter what you do
Beating, I remained motionless.
As for the Mo Dao team with its two wings spread out, the situation is better than that of the heavy armored soldiers facing the enemy directly. At least they will not be directly separated.
Amidst the neat chants, Mo Dao was raised again and again and dropped again and again. The assault speed of the war horses had been completely worn down by the heavy armor. At this time, the Xianbei cavalry was nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Mo Dao.
That’s all.
For cavalry, especially light cavalry like the Xianbei cavalry, speed is their magic weapon. Once they lose their speed, they have almost no advantage except being condescending.
The Xianbei cavalry, who were vaguely aware that something was wrong, began to turn their horses around one after another. However, there were only a few who had this ability, and most of the cavalry were already trapped in the formation. How could it be so easy to escape calmly?
?
What's more, the Han army formation at the rear was not motionless. When the heavy armor blocked the charge of the Xianbei cavalry, the Han army formation was also moving forward. When the Xianbei cavalry realized that something bad was going on, this military formation
Already close at hand!
"Encirclement!" Lu Quanda waved his hand forward with high spirits.
His son was busy fighting in Lingnan, but he had been squatting on the front line of Huayin for a long time. Now as the vanguard of the army, if he could wipe out these Xianbei cavalry who knew nothing about the sky and the earth in one fell swoop, it would be a great achievement!
What's more, what he is firing now is the first shot of the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition.
As long as you win, it will be a feat that will shine through the annals of history!
The Han army's military formation, with each chariot as a node, suddenly spread out, just like a goshawk spreading its wings at once, completely wrapping the hare that had been firmly grasped by its claws into its arms.
Unfortunately, Sima Xiaonan obviously did not intend to let Lu Guangda have his way.
When the Xianbei cavalry ran into the heavy armor of the Han army, Sima Xiaonan realized that something was wrong. After being in the north for a long time, he certainly knew that the Xianbei cavalry's biggest advantage and weakness was speed. Once the speed was reduced, then the Xianbei cavalry would
Facing the swarming Han soldiers, they may not necessarily have an advantage.
Therefore, Sima Xiaonan decisively led troops to respond.
To be honest, he didn't want to go, but he had to go.
When Yu Chijiong came to inspect Tongguan before, he had reminded him that the contradiction between the Han and Xianbei people in the country has become more and more intensified, so as a general, he must not make mistakes in this regard. Not only is this very likely
It is obviously not a good thing for Sima Xiaonan himself to cause greater conflicts between the two sides in the country.
Therefore, knowing that he should lead his army to defend Tongguan, Sima Xiao had no choice but to go out for rescue.
