Chapter 161: Sorrow
Han Ming looked at the unshakable iron wall on the opposite side, which was as unshakable as a mountain, and was also shocked.
The sense of oppression brought by the forbidden cavalry has been substantiated, and although the enemy army has not moved, the surging momentum has already crushed the already wavering fighting spirit here.
The reason why the soldiers have not collapsed immediately is mainly because of the one person and one halberd standing at the front, who is the last wall in the hearts of all the soldiers.
Han Ming's astonishment was only for a moment, and he had already prepared for the worst in his heart. It's just that now it seems that this worst-case scenario is not enough.
He twisted his horse's head and turned to look at the soldiers who had straightened their backs but could not see their determination.
"Soldiers, the battle has begun, are you afraid?"
Han Ming pulled his throat and ran back and forth in front of the formation.
"Are you afraid?"
......
"Are you afraid?"
None of the soldiers answered him, but from the flickering eyes in them, Han Ming had already received an answer.
"Why? I didn't even dare to say a word of fear, I was so scared?" Han Ming looked at the soldier's cowering appearance, a little angry.
"I'm afraid. ”
One of the soldiers below plucked up his courage and shouted.
Han Ming nodded, "Okay, who else?"
"I'm scared!"
"I'm afraid. ”
The rest of the people saw that someone was starting and began to speak slowly.
"I'm afraid ......"
"I'm afraid. ”
"I'm afraid!"
Immediately after that, people kept shouting, and the sound began to be orderly, from the beginning of the intermittent, gradually began to rise and fall, and finally converged into a wave of sound.
A word of fear popped out of the mouths of the soldiers, venting their fears to the fullest.
"Hahaha....... listen, a bunch of cowards, haha. Hou Yu, who was in front of the forbidden cavalry formation, heard the Chu army formation shouting and was afraid, and couldn't help laughing.
Luo Jin, the commander of the forbidden cavalry, didn't think so, looking at the momentum on the opposite side covering wave after wave, where was there still half a bit of fear, he had some hidden worries in his heart.
"The enemy seems to be getting stronger. Luo Jin said with some concern.
When Hou Yu heard this, he waved his hand, "Commander Luo, I'm afraid you're thinking too much." A group of ants shouted that they were afraid, but the sound was a little louder, so it scared you. Don't worry, when we rush over, the other party is afraid that he will be so scared that he will pee his pants. ”
After saying that, he laughed again.
"Idiot. Luo Jin didn't answer, just muttered to himself in his heart.
However, seeing that the momentum on the other side was getting higher and higher, he still couldn't let go.
"Your Highness, the last general asks to charge. ”
"Eh, there's no hurry. I want to see what else can happen on the other side, so I will wait for a while, maybe the other side will surrender before the war starts. ”
Hou Yu's face was confident, he had such a strong confidence, thanks to the strict and cold forbidden cavalry behind him, as long as the forbidden cavalry was there, the world was invincible.
Although Luo Jin was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only wait quietly.
Here, as soon as the soldiers finished venting their fears, Han Ming raised the Xuanye Halberd in his hand and signaled the soldiers to be quiet.
In an instant, the vigorous sound immediately stopped, and no noise could be heard.
To be able to reach this point, it all depends on Han Ming's strict requirements for soldiers on weekdays, so that orders and prohibitions are enforced.
"I'm afraid! We are human beings and we have emotions. Speaking of which, Han Mingxuan's night halberd pointed at the Forbidden Cavalry.
"On the other side, it is the strongest cavalry in the Fengwen Continent, not only are you afraid, but I also have no bottom in my heart. But at this moment, I will not hold back even half a step. Soldiers, look behind you. ”
"Behind us are not the high-ranking officials and nobles, but the common people like us, among them, there are your old mothers, wives, children, they can't take a step, they can't keep up with the carriages of the nobles, they are reluctant to go home, and their lives are hopeless. ”
Speaking of this, Han Ming looked around at everyone, and the voice blessed by the battle qi was guaranteed to reach the ears of every soldier.
"When the iron cavalry of the army comes, the ancient city of a thousand years will be shattered; when the iron cavalry of the army comes, the blood of the old mother stains the threshold; when the iron cavalry of the army comes, the beloved wife and daughter will be defiled; when the iron cavalry of the army comes, the toddler child will not escape the clutches of the devil; when the iron cavalry of the army comes, you and I will not be spared. ”
Hearing this, the soldiers clenched their teeth, they were all from Shangjing, and their families were not wealthy. As Han Ming said, their families are all in the city, and they will be slaughtered together in the war.
"Soldiers, we can't retreat, and behind us are the people who are watching. And over there, standing in front of us, is endless glory. Soldiers, tell me, what should I choose?"
Han Ming used all his strength to shout out the last sentence.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers opened their blood-red eyes, clenched their teeth, and the word killing popped out, and their fighting spirit was high.
Hou Yu's face was gloomy, and he heard the shouting of killing from the opposite side, as if a huge slap was slapped in his face.
His eyes erupted with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Luo Jin, kill, don't leave a single one, and then slaughter the city for me." ”
Luo Jin put on the iron mask on the armor and said coldly: "Obey." ”
Then, he raised the rifle in his hand and slowly lowered it, maintaining a charging posture. The Forbidden Cavalry behind him followed him in the same way.
"Extinguish!"
With a low shout, Luo Jin walked out first, followed by the forbidden cavalry behind him moving in unison and moving forward slowly. The forbidden cavalry moved, like a battle wall, and slowly pushed towards Shangjing.
Han Ming found that the forbidden cavalry army was starting to attack, and immediately returned to the front of the formation, and after dismounting, he held a shield in one hand and a Xuanye halberd in the other, standing at the front of the military formation.
Looking at the slowly approaching forbidden cavalry, Han Ming unconsciously tapped some shields with his halberd rod.
"Knock...... Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......"
One after another, it knocked on everyone's hearts.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The soldiers followed Han Ming's rhythmic tapping, and the muffled and low tapping sound, one after another, knocked on everyone's hearts, and also knocked on the hearts of everyone who were charging the forbidden cavalry.
The sound of the shield was tragic and firm, just like all the warriors facing the Janitarial charge at this moment.
Luo Jin couldn't see his expression clearly under the iron face, but there was a slight tremor in his steady riding spear.
The forbidden cavalry listened to the sound of the shield, and finally walked to the charging distance, as Luo Jin took the lead in the charge, the iron hooves of the forbidden cavalry flipped over, and the whole army began to charge.
The sound of the horses' hooves on the ground of the forbidden cavalry contended with the sound of the shield of the city defense camp, and listening to the heavy hoofs behind him, Luo Jin's heart began to stabilize, and his cavalry returned to stability and firmness.
"Array. ”
Han Ming gave an order, and the soldiers behind him stopped their shield attacks. Set up a shield, raise a spear, and look resolute.
Three hundred meters, the soldiers of the city defense battalion could hear the sound of the hooves of the black Rong horses slamming on the ground, like thunder.
Two hundred meters, the soldiers of the city defense battalion could see the armor of the soldiers of the forbidden cavalry, serious and cold, like ghosts crawling out of hell.
A hundred meters, a black light flashed on the riding spear, and the thunder became louder and louder.
Fifty meters, Han Ming's personal guards surrounded him layer by layer like onions, and the dog was resolutely blocking in front of him.
"Boom ......"
The sound of iron horses clashing with limbs rang out.
Although the spear was long, it was still too powerful against the iron-clad Forbidden Cavalry, except for a few unlucky people who were stabbed by the spear, the rest of the spears were only broken after leaving a mark on the armor of the Forbidden Cavalry soldiers.
The Forbidden Cavalry soldier's rifle then stabbed the shield with a single blow, and the sharp rifle broke the shield with a single blow, and then pierced the soldier's heart and stomach.
The momentum of the cavalry spear that passed through the body did not decrease, but because of the formation, it was pierced in the air.
After the spear, there is the war horse. The charging war horse crashed into the soldiers of the city defense battalion, and the huge inertia directly knocked the soldiers out.
As early as after the Forbidden Cavalry charged, the soldiers of the second echelon began to replenish it, and when the Forbidden Cavalry Army rushed into the first echelon, the soldiers of the second echelon also made up for it.
However, the gap in equipment between the two sides was too great, and even the soldiers of the two teams of city defense battalions were almost fighting the Forbidden Cavalry with their bodies.
Under the first wave of fierce charges of the Praetorian Cavalry, the soldiers of the first echelon were almost completely annihilated.
If there had been so many casualties in the past, there would have been a rout long ago. But in the face of the forbidden cavalry, the soldiers of the city defense battalion not only did not flinch, but rushed up one after another, not knowing what fear was.
The soldiers of the city defense battalion insisted on using their lives to resist the charge of the forbidden cavalry.
The most tragic of them is Han Ming's personal guards.
When the Forbidden Cavalry rushed up, the three layers inside and the outer three layers of the guards protected him. As the commander-in-chief, Han Ming could have stood in the rear safely, but in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, he chose to stand on the front line and let Zhao Ming command the army formation in the rear.
Similarly, as Han Ming's personal guard, if the Lord is about to live, the personal guard will be there, and if the Lord is about to die, the personal guard cannot live alone.
Due to the protection of the guards, in front of the entire army array, it was like a flat city wall suddenly rushing out of an urn city, which was particularly conspicuous, causing the Forbidden Cavalry to charge the guards extremely fiercely.
The pro-soldiers in the first three rows were directly affected by the second, and the aftermath affected the soldiers in the back row.
Goudan used both hands to stabilize the soldiers who rushed in, Rao was strong enough, but he couldn't hold it steadily, but fortunately, Han Ming's big and steady hands pressed on his shoulders in time.
After stabilizing the first wave of charges, the next step is just the beginning of the tough battle.
