Chapter 0562 - Stalemate
Although he thought that the elite cavalry of the Great Wei was unparalleled in the world, although he felt that the soldiers of Shu Yu would scatter as soon as they rushed, as a veteran who had fought all his life, Zhang He still followed the old rules and let the two hundred elite cavalry charge first to test the reality of the other party.
"Don't panic, don't panic! Listen to the password, how to practice on weekdays, and how to do it later. You can't retreat, there is a team of warlords behind you, and whoever retreats will be killed! ”
The veterans with battlefield experience and the Nanxiang soldiers with the firmest fighting beliefs are all grassroots backbones in the army, constantly encouraging the people under their hands.
"When the time comes, just listen to me and watch what I do!"
"A thief is also a human being, and he will die if he bleeds, don't be afraid!"
These are the most ordinary ways of encouragement, and there are a few extremes, so they simply say directly, "You are all people selected by the Ghost King, if you lose face here, don't talk about yourself, even your family has no good fruit to eat!" ”
"Even if a thief eats meat, he has to cook it and eat it, how can there be a ghost king who is terrible? Right? ”
Shi Chang, who said this, secretly looked back at Shuaitai, well, it is far away, and it should not be heard.
This kind of talk is the most effective for the soldiers from the barbarians in Nanzhong, and the people who were originally a little nervous heard the word ghost king, and they were immediately a spirit, and quickly wiped their hands on their clothes, so as not to slip later.
The two hundred elite horsemen sprinted up, and the momentum was also terrifying.
When they were one hundred and fifty paces away, the generals who had been paying attention to the Shuai Tai saw the white flag waving, and at the same time, the sound of drums came into their ears, and they hurriedly shouted, "Release!" ”
"Buzz ......"
The crossbowman who was squatting on the ground and holding a heavy crossbow only felt a shock to his arm, and the strong recoil made his body shake slightly, and the long crossbow arrow had turned into a thin line in the air.
The crossbowman did not have time to see where the arrow he shot would end up, so he hurriedly stretched out his foot, stepped on the clasp of the crossbow, pulled the lever back with all his might, and rewound it before putting the feather into the slot.
A major frontal blow, intertwined fire on both sides, and although the cavalry had begun to disperse, the density of arrow feathers was still underestimated.
The first wave of arrows from three sides shot two hundred cavalry on the spot, and only a few dozen horsemen were still running.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
The first wave has just ended, and the second wave is just here.
Although it was not possible to do three strikes, two strikes were enough for the two hundred cavalry to rush a hundred steps in front of the formation.
Not to mention the knight on the horse, even the war horse was shot through the neck, and fell to the ground wailing.
Zhang He gasped, and felt bad in his heart: the difference between the Shu captives who captured Longguan and the Shu captives who guarded Luoyang was so big?
"Go around and cut off its wings first!"
Zhang He said loudly.
The crossbows on the opposite flanks were too powerful, and they had to be dealt with first.
At the same time, he was glad in his heart, fortunately there was no wave of pressure, otherwise it would definitely be a rout.
Standing on the high platform efficiently built by the exclusive engineering troops, Feng Yong held the monocular and saw early on that the cavalry on the opposite side had quietly spread out to both sides under the cover of the lineup in front.
The goal was obvious, it was aimed at the crossbowmen who were heading to both sides.
At that moment, he hurriedly waved the white flag with black edges, and then pressed it back, and at the same time, the sound of gold sounded, and the two wings stretched out retreated back in an orderly manner under the organization of each team.
Zhang He was stunned for a moment, looked at the military array opposite, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Who is the general on the other side? Can you guess your own thoughts in the first place?
However, since there is no threat from the two wings, the elite cavalry can naturally rush in front of the opponent's formation.
The whining horn sounded again, and the smoke and dust brought up by the charge of a thousand cavalry made the battlefield suddenly shrouded in haze.
"Put!"
Although the wings are gone, the heavy crossbow directly in front of it can still be used again.
The cavalry that rushed to the front fell in a wave on the spot, and was trampled by the friendly troops behind, and even the intestines were trampled out, and flowers and greenery were scattered all over the ground.
"The second paragraph! Put! ”
Disheveled! Disheveled! Disheveled!
The second wave of arrows came much faster than expected.
And then the third wave, the fourth wave.
The improved heavy crossbow, in this case, is two or three times more efficient than a normal heavy crossbow.
In just one hundred and fifty paces, four waves of crossbow arrows were fired, and by the time a thousand cavalry rushed to twenty paces, they had already lost nearly half.
Beyond twenty paces, the crossbowmen faced the cavalry, which was the share of the slaughter.
Cao Wei's cavalry crossed the line of death, pressed even lower, held spears, stared at each other with red eyes, and vowed to stab the other party in the face.
The shape of the cavalry saddle at this time was the opposite of that of later generations.
The later generations were high before and then low, and now they are low before and then high, and the depth in the middle is much deeper than that of the later generations.
The reason for this is that in the era when stirrups were not available, a deep saddle allowed the knight to sit more firmly on the horse.
At the same time, the saddle bridge with the rear head high can withstand the rear waist of the cavalry, so that they can better exert force through the waist, and can also allow them to have a lean when impacting, and try to maintain balance.
The crossbowmen of the Han army hurriedly retreated like a tide.
"Kill—"
The Mo Knife hidden behind it finally revealed its hideous and terrifying fangs.
The cavalry who rushed to the front saw that in front of him was not the expected spear and halberd, but a long knife with both a sharp tip and a wide blade.
"Kill—"
The bright blade stands like a forest, like a wall, and looks like a real knife forest.
Cao Wei's cavalry didn't have time to think about it, and according to their previous battlefield experience, they subconsciously handed over the spear in their hands.
With a "click", he handed out the hook from behind the knife forest, blocking the spear.
"Kill!"
"Huh!"
"Poof!"
Several Mo knives slashed down together, and a person and a horse were divided into many parts, such as the horse's head, the horse's feet, half of the body, etc., scattered all over the ground, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
If the wall is blocked, everyone will be shattered!
The Mo Dao hand standing at the front was sprinkled with a hot, slimy layer of liquid on his face, and his mouth and nose were full of blood.
"Second team!"
At least half of the Mo Dao Hands were now blank in their minds, and some even subconsciously closed their eyes.
The only thing they can remember is Shi Chang's command, "Don't stop, don't stop, cut whatever stands in the way, and it's over when it's all cut......"
The command of the team seemed to come from a distance, and the muscles in his hands would only slash and stab according to memory......
At this time, the old pawn and the Nanxiang soldier played a great role, that is, they maintained the courage of these recruits and kept them from retreating.
More than 500 Zhang He's proud unparalleled elite horsemen collapsed at once under the stabbing of the neatly arranged Mo Dao team!
"Gross!"
Looking at the minced meat all over the ground under his feet, someone finally vomited.
"Don't look at your feet!"
Someone kicked him hard, "Look ahead, the thief is coming up again!" ”
Feng Yong stood on the high platform, naturally he couldn't see the details, he only saw the scene of the Cao army's cavalry scattering and fleeing, and danced with his hands at the moment, "Famous general? The famous general is a fart in front of Lao Tzu's dimensionality reduction blow! Come on, hit me! ”
The Cao infantry that followed closely had more flexibility, and before the stirrups came out, once the cavalry lost its impact and speed, the fighting ability of the cavalry sitting on the horse was not as good as that of the infantry at all.
"Kill!"
Cao Jun's infantry finally discovered that the long knife team in the hands of the opponent's long knife team, which had never seen before, was extremely sharp.
As soon as the spear in his hand was handed out, as soon as the opposite side was chopped down, the barrel of the spear directly turned into two sections.
The wooden shield and leather shield in his hand were directly slashed in front of this kind of long knife, which was broken, and it was not vulnerable at all.
Luckily, the halberd spear is longer than the sword.
I saw that Cao Jun's halberd spear stabbed randomly, and the Mo Dao team couldn't retreat, so they only heard a miserable scream, and some unlucky ghosts were provoked.
"Hook Band!"
Zhang Wei, the actual commander of the Modao team, shouted loudly.
The hook at the back of the head sticks out again, blocking the halberd spear.
"Three teams!"
"Whirring ......"
"Click!"
Another spear was cut off in unison.
