Chapter 64: Beheading
The sound of fighting in the distance kept coming, and many soldiers on the hillside had already fed their horses and began to carefully inspect their sabers, spears, armor, and stirrups.
On the battlefield, any small accident can lead to serious consequences. In the midst of the army, even the cavalry must rely on the formation, and the strength of the individual is no longer important.
After more than half an hour, Feng Yuan keenly saw the attack of the enemy army in the distance, and it was no longer fierce.
Even if the Overseer team continued to slash and kill in the back, they could no longer let the soldiers in front of them come forward and fight hard.
The power of the firebolt can be brought into full play when defending.
In addition to the 1,000 firecrackers, Jiang Yingjie also has 3,000 sword and shield hands and spearmen. Let the 30,000-strong army attack in turn, and still stand.
The time has come!
"All on board!"
Feng Yuan suddenly ordered, the first to ride on the green horse, more than three hundred cavalry on the hillside got up one after another, turned over on horseback, all the cavalry, all wearing iron armor.
They carried bows and crossbows in their hands, spears hung from the saddle's triumphant hooks, swords at their waists, and helmets were strapped, armed almost to the teeth. Three hundred cavalry gathered together, as if made of steel.
The sunlight of the sky shone on the iron armor, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
These three hundred cavalry can already be called heavy cavalry.
"Let's go!"
The cavalry followed Feng Yuan and Zhao Heng, rolling down the hillside, the sound of horses' hooves roaring, trampling the earth, like a torrent of steel, charging towards the black and crushed enemy army in the distance.
Woo!
When Feng Yuan led the cavalry team to attack, the enemy sentry suddenly noticed the movement and immediately blew the trumpet to remind Jin Shengheng in the military formation.
"Oh no, look at it, my lord!"
A guerrilla with sharp eyes was shocked when he saw hundreds of cavalry surging from the side.
At present, most of the 30,000-strong army is surrounding the enemy village, and there are two guerrillas with elite family members to the two wings. Those who remained beside Jin Shengheng were only 500 cavalry and more than 1,000 foot soldiers.
According to normal circumstances, these forces are enough to protect Jin Shengheng and Daxu.
Who would have thought that hundreds of cavalry would suddenly rush from the flanks and rear. If the other party rushes in front of Jin Shengheng, or cuts off Daxu, the army will be in danger.
"Shut up! I haven't seen anything like this, hundreds of cavalry in this mere area, and they dare to show off in front of me?"
Jin Shengheng snorted coldly, looking at the cavalry who rushed towards him, his face trembled, and a trace of murderous aura appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that the Pizhou Army would hide such a hand.
"Assemble, follow Ben to catch up! Let these thieves know that they are powerful!"
Jin Shengheng has followed Zuo Liangyu to fight for many years, and he is brave and brave.
And he had already seen that the hundreds of cavalry rushing from the opposite side, some in front and some behind, were evacuated in formation, and they did not look like well-trained elites at all.
There is no way, Feng Yuan has managed to gather more than 300 cavalry, and the training time is still too short. Now that I can gather and charge, it is already a high-level performance.
Kill!
After Jin Shengheng saw the formation of the anti-cavalry, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease, and personally led five hundred cavalry to meet him head-on.
Whew!
As soon as the two cavalry approached, they each held their bows and released arrows, and a dense rain of arrows fell on the heads of the cavalry on both sides.
The rain of arrows fell, most of them bounced off by the iron helmet.
There were also some long arrows that knocked over a dozen war horses, and the heavy war horses fell to the ground with a bang, throwing off the cavalry on horseback.
Except for a few martial arts masters who immediately jumped up, the other cavalry all snorted, were broken and lost their breath.
In general, the cavalry on both sides were dressed in iron armor and heavily armed, and the casualties were almost equal.
After releasing the arrows, Zhao Heng and other cavalry immediately put down their bows and arrows, some who were good at marksmanship lifted their spears, and some who were good at swordsmanship pulled out their single knives and shouted and rushed towards the other party.
"It's good to come!"
Feng Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Jin Shengheng go out in person.
After the cavalry on both sides approached, he suddenly let out a long howl, like thunder, and the sound was even more than the roar of the horses' hooves for a while.
Airplanes!
Jin Shengheng's head shook, and his eardrums were almost shattered by this sound.
"What a strong internal force!"
As soon as he calmed down, he saw that among the cavalry opposite, a young man who was at the forefront raised his spear and pointed it in the direction where he was, and his momentum was fierce.
Jin Shengheng's face turned slightly pale, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes.
I saw that Feng Yuan's spear shook and swept left and right, and several cavalry were swept across the air by the incomparable force, and they were unstoppable.
Hun Tian Xuan Gong, specializing in the cultivation of qi and blood power, was originally a kung fu in the battle array.
Feng Yuan is already one of the strongest masters in the world, and now he personally leads the cavalry to charge, and he is even more invincible.
"Death!"
Feng Yuan's speed of charging was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed directly in front of Jin Shengheng.
Several of Jin Shengheng's pro-soldiers roared wildly and rushed forward, without even having room to fight back, and were instantly provoked to fly.
Jin Shengheng was terrified, wanting to escape and dodge, but there was no space around.
He thought that he would be able to defeat the enemy cavalry in one fell swoop, so he rushed forward.
Who would have thought that among the opposing cavalry team, there would be Feng Yuan, a peerless master, who would personally charge into battle?
Burst!
Jin Shengheng's eyes flickered, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the iron spear pierced through the armor, forcibly picking him up from the war horse and throwing him away for several feet.
Boom! Jin Shengheng's body crashed into several pro-soldiers, rolled to the ground, and showed an extremely unwilling look in his eyes, and then his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.
Click!
After Feng Yuan killed Jin Shengheng, he cut off the enemy's Daxu. The 500 cavalry led by the other party collapsed without command.
"The chief soldier has been killed, run!"
"Defeated...... Defeated!"
Many enemy soldiers screamed, skillfully threw down their weapons, turned and ran.
The characteristic of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in this era is that they lack resilience and are easily defeated. If there is any setback, the whole army will collapse, and finally be covered by the enemy and destroyed.
Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing are all like this.
Jin Shengheng has followed Zuo Liangyu to fight for many years, and he has learned Zuo Liangyu's military commanding techniques.
Therefore, after Jin Shengheng was beheaded and Daxu was broken, first the 1,000 families in the rear of the enemy army collapsed, and then quickly spread to the whole army from point to area.
In the eyes of Feng Yuan, Jiang Yingjie and others, the enemy army with more than 20,000 troops left was like a headless fly, rushing in all directions.
Rumble!
When Jiang Yingjie collapsed, he decisively opened the camp and divided his troops to encircle it, and the soldiers of the Pizhou army were like wolves and tigers, constantly chasing and killing, and surrounded a part of the enemy army.
More than 20,000 soldiers scattered in all directions, and they could not be completely annihilated, and the cavalry led by Zhao Heng and Jiang Yingjie's infantry soldiers only left more than 4,000 people in the end.
The rest of the enemy soldiers scattered into small groups of defeated soldiers, desperately fleeing towards the woods and countryside on all sides.
