Chapter 629: Lose Again (Medium)

"Crossbow!" Zeng Xian shouted loudly. There was a buzzing sound as his shout sounded, and a stream of crossbow arrows flew out of the formation, rushing towards the ironclad cavalry more than a hundred paces away. This is the arm of the Eastern Army, the strength is strong, with a machine to shoot, a long shot of ordinary bows and arrows.

As these crossbow arrows flew up, the galloping ironclad cavalry raised a big shield in their hands, and the big shield was raised, almost covering the whole person and the horse behind him, with the sound of dangdang endlessly, Zeng Xianyi's hope for this round of arms and crossbows was almost futile, seeing this scene, Zeng Xianyi couldn't help but change his face.

Niu Ben, who was standing beside him, also frowned, even his arms and crossbows could not cause great damage to the enemy, these guys who were covered in armor were really a little difficult to deal with, it seemed that unless they were shooting with a bed crossbow, they could shoot these cavalrymen off their horses.

A single crossbow was in vain, and the ironclad cavalry had already rushed to within a hundred paces.

"Arrows!"

This time there were more feathered arrows flying out, densely packed, like locusts, and the ironclad knights who rushed in for these dense feathered arrows seemed to be even more concerned, and some of them even hung their iron shields next to the saddle, holding their guns in both hands, and carrying their horses in both legs, and rushed forward with feathered arrows like rain.

Countless feathered arrows were shot at their armor, and most of them actually bounced off, only those feathered arrows that were extremely lucky enough to hit the gaps in the armor were left on the opponent's body, but judging by the effect, they did not cause damage to these knights at all.

At this moment, there was an inevitable panic in the queue of the soldiers of Yuyang County. The originally strict queue began to waver, and whoever encountered such an almost invulnerable iron guy would involuntarily feel fear.

"Hold your ground, and the trespasser will be killed!" Zeng Xianyi yelled.

Fifty steps, the huge shadow of the ironclad cavalry has already enveloped the Yuyang County soldiers, the soldiers in the first row, at this moment, almost even breathing is about to stop, the tall and mighty ironclad knights opposite. In their eyes at this time. It is tantamount to the scythe of death.

At this moment, from the queue, hundreds of men suddenly jumped out, each with a chain hammer dancing in their hands. Facing the ironclad cavalry on the opposite side. Fearlessly, he rushed forward. Looking at these figures that were incomparably weaker than the ironclad knights, in the array of Yuyang County soldiers, exclamations came and went.

Thirty steps. The spears in the hands of the ironclad knights poked out, and they didn't understand what these guys were doing, but there was no doubt that there was only one way for them to die.

Twenty steps, the chain hammer in the hands of the men flew out, and the two ends of an iron chain were connected with two hammers inlaid with countless sharp teeth whistling out of the air, and their target was not the knight on the horse, but the leg of the opponent's war horse.

Tan Feng, who pressed the formation in the rear, could not see the time of the handover of the two armies, more than 100 men rushed up against the charging iron cavalry and threw out the weapons in their hands, in his eyes, it was full of invincible ironclad cavalry with a crushing attitude, fearless of the opponent's bow and crossbow and tough assault picture, which made his heart full of satisfaction, how to deal with Donghu and even the cavalry of the Eastern Army, has always been something he has been thinking hard, he can't make up the cavalry as powerful as these two opponents, so he can only avoid another way, These three hundred knights were his first test subjects, and these cavalrymen, who were heavily armored and even wore armor on their horses, did not care at all how good the opponent's riding skills were, how strong the horse fighting was, and how exquisite the art of running and archery was, they had only one mission, forward, charged. Now it looks like it's working well. It's a pity that this thing is the ancestor who consumes money, and the consumption of an ironclad cavalry is enough to feed dozens of foot soldiers.

As long as it works, Tan Feng decided that even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he would also form an ironclad heavy cavalry of at least 1,000 people, and in the future battle, this cavalry may be a force that can influence the situation of the battle.

Just when he was full of reverie, the situation of the battle suddenly changed, and those iron-armored heavy horsemen who were crushing forward with no relentless progress turned on their backs in an instant.

The flying chain hammers were wrapped around the legs of the ironclad cavalry, and the galloping horses were immediately tripped over, and the heavily armored knights fell off their horses, not to mention turning over and getting up, it was extremely difficult to move, but the heavy cavalry who were charging behind them trampled on them without stopping. Fortunately, the frontal width of these ironclad cavalry was larger, and the thickest part was only three horses, but even so, these three layers of ironclad heavy cavalry all fell without exception.

Chain hammers can wrap around horses' legs, toothed hammers can smash horses' legs, and war horses are covered in armor, but the four knife legs that run cannot be armored.

Where more than a hundred men rushed up, the seemingly thick ironclad cavalry suddenly sunk inward. After the dozens of people who rushed to the front threw out the chain hammer in their hands, although they were injured and knocked down the war horses in front, the huge impact still made these war horses and the knights on the horses sweep forward, and their weak bodies were almost knocked into the sky or crushed down, and the bones of their bodies were crushed.

"Kill!" The remnants of the men waved the steel knives in their hands and rushed into the battlefield where people turned over on their backs.

More than 300 heavy riders, as soon as they entered the battle, they were put down by more than 100 men.

Zeng Xianyi is also a fierce general on the battlefield, seeing this scene, he was surprised and delighted, and he was willing to let go of such an opportunity, "The whole army assaults, rush forward!" ”

Shocked by the desperate attack of more than a hundred men, the lotus in the bodies of thousands of Yuyang County soldiers was covered in the blink of an eye, and they quickly secreted, blood went up, and with a shout, they actually rushed forward.

A loud noise erupted, and they collided head-on with the remaining ironclad cavalry, and countless people flew out, but at this moment, countless spears stabbed at these ironclad cavalry from all angles.

The ironclad cavalry had only broken through a few layers of men and horses before they were stabbed to the ground with spears.

Veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time are saved, and when they fight, they are afraid of guns and knives, and if they come down, as long as they don't hurt the vital point, they won't necessarily die, but if they are stabbed by a spear, ten lives will go to seven or eight.

Tan Feng's face turned cloudy in an instant, and the ironclad heavy cavalry he had high hopes for couldn't even help the soldiers of Yuyang County, so lightly the whole army was wiped out on the battlefield, staring at his eyes, his face was pale, and his fists were clenched tightly, making a kaka sound.

And under the banner of the Chinese army of Yuyang County soldiers, Niu Ben showed a smile, these ironclad cavalry at the beginning of the training, they have already been detected by them, how to deal with these big guys, including young lady, but they have all thought hard, and now it seems that the effect is still obvious. The death of more than 100 foot soldiers in exchange for the destruction of 300 ironclad heavy cavalry, this account is extremely cost-effective, and after this battle, I am afraid that Tan Feng will no longer have the heart to organize such a big guy.

It costs a lot of money and dies quickly. This is Niu Ben's definition of these ironclad heavy cavalry, this kind of cavalry, only on a specific battlefield, under certain conditions, will play the greatest role, it is really too restrictive, far less than light cavalry.

After the infantry learned that Tan Feng had this kind of cavalry, the answer given was simpler, dragging him to death. Constant harassment, constant attacks, and the speed advantage of the light cavalry to eat them to the death, these big guys are too heavy, no matter how good the war horses under their crotch are, it is impossible to support a long battle, as long as they are dragged down, they can be defeated lightly.

Of course, the current battle situation could not be delayed, because Ye Zhen planned to teach Tan Feng a hard lesson, so he naturally chose another way.

Although the ironclad heavy cavalry was destroyed, Tan Feng was distressed, but he did not give up, now he still has five thousand standing troops of the Yan Kingdom, these foot soldiers trained by his own hands are under the command of the drumbeat, taking neat steps, pressing towards the Yuyang soldiers on the opposite side, and the Yuyang soldiers because of the charge just now, the formation has been scattered.

Victory will be yours after all. Tan Feng said in his heart.

The foot soldiers of both sides collided violently together, the decisive battle of the infantry, without any fancy, as many as nearly 10,000 people on both sides crowded together, not to mention moving and dodging, it was extremely difficult to even turn around, the only thing to do was to stab the spear in his hand forward, and chop the big knife in his hand hard, as for killing the other party, whether he would be killed, at this time I couldn't think of it, and I couldn't think about it.

From the very beginning, the two warring sides were like two wild dogs with red eyes, howling and biting each other.

Tan Feng's self-confidence is not unreasonable, when the infantry on both sides were strangled together, the standing army of Yan State had the upper hand from the beginning, and the soldiers of Yuyang County fought separately, but the soldiers of the standing army were under the command of the officers, roared, stabbed out a shot, pulled out, and stabbed out another shot, neat and efficient, in a short period of time, they had already pushed the Yuyang County soldiers forward dozens of steps, and the distance of these dozens of steps was paved with blood.

Zeng Xian's face changed color, he lifted the big knife beside him, turned his head to Niu Ben and said, "General Niu, General Infantry and General Naha, can they really come as scheduled?" At this moment, Zeng Xianyi was worried that the Eastern Army was going to borrow a knife to kill people, as long as they came late for a moment and a half, he was afraid that there would not be much left of his 3,000 foot soldiers.

Niu Ben smiled and drew his knife, "On time, Niu and General Zeng went to kill the enemy together, at this time, what the soldiers of Yuyang County have to do is to drag the opponent, these five thousand Yan national army, we all have to stay."

"Okay, then I'll be relieved!" Zeng Xianyi nodded vigorously, "Zeng's net worth and life will all be entrusted to you to conquer the Eastern Army."

Wielding the big knife in his hand, Zeng Xian smashed his horse and rushed forward, "Sons, forward, forward, avenge the county guard."

The regressing Yuyang soldiers finally stabilized their position a little when Zeng Xianyi rushed to the front line with his own soldiers. (To be continued......)
