Chapter 33: The decisive battle begins
The 10,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Army are all wearing iron chain armor, and the equipment on their bodies is also very complete, but the stone hammers, maces, wooden spears, copper swords, copper halberds, etc. in the hands of the Donghu people wearing leather armor are not vegetarian.
There are 30,000 cavalry, and you can easily get 10,000 cavalry.
In order to prevent the infantry spear head, Lei Ming and the cavalry deliberately detoured from the infantry formation and killed the Donghu people on the other side.
Thundered~
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and the 30,000 Donghu cavalry, who had already become impatient, also began to charge at full speed.
The 30,000 cavalry is endless at a glance, and the enemy with higher riding skills is killed, and it is impossible for Lei Ming not to be nervous. As soon as he felt the coldness of the steel crossbow in his hand, he calmed down.
"Kill~Kill~" Cavalry is king, and the Donghu cavalry also began to take out bows and arrows or wooden short spears.
Lei Ming took the lead, and as soon as he raised his crossbow, the 10,000-handed crossbow behind him also followed the evil finger to the sky.
Although the smoke and dust were chaotic, the commander of Donghu also saw the movements of the cavalry of the Northern Army.
However, he didn't care very much, and no one was more skilled in horse archery than their Donghu people.
"Shoot, shoot."
With a buzz, the bolts flew away, and then pieces of arrows flew out.
The cavalryman's crossbow was only 100 meters away, but it had two bowstrings and could shoot twice in a row.
As soon as the rain of arrows flew, another piece of crossbow arrows flew out, and soon the crossbow arrows in front of them had already begun to fall.
"This~This is!" There are still hundreds of paces to go, and the Grand Commander can't believe it! After all, cavalry doesn't use infantry crossbows and longbows!
The battlefield was hazy with dust and smoke, and only some Donghu people in front of the battle found the rain of arrows.
"It's an arrow, it's an arrow." They shouted loudly to alert their teammates behind them, but under the galloping hooves of horses and the roar of war horses, few people could hear them clearly.
Xiu Xiu Xiu ~ Waiting for the arrow rain to force the head, some Donghu people also found countless arrow blades on their heads.
"Ah~no~no~"
The warrior waved his hand hard, but he was still a step too slow, and the sharp crossbow arrow shot directly through his neck.
Sigh ~ sigh rhythm ~ In the screams of the people, the war horses did not show weakness and followed the neighing.
"Damn! Another rain of arrows! Another rain of arrows! "Dusty Imu doesn't know how the loss will be yet, but he feels that it will not be less!
After the rain of 20,000 arrows, thousands of horsemen fell to the ground in front of the formation, and the cavalry behind the formation also scattered to avoid the fallen men and horses.
The bows and arrows of the Donghu people were shot in advance, and the power and speed were even weaker, even if they hit the horse's head, it was only a skin wound.
The Donghu people were in chaos, but the cavalry of the Northern Army was not.
"~Projectile~" shouted, and Lei Ming quickly threw out two short wooden spears with iron tips.
Because of the projectile, there were still thousands of cavalry at the front of the formation.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the Grand Commander immediately ducked.
He just wanted to order a retreat, but the next moment he was instantly stupid.
Woo~ Dense wooden spears rushed in, and the Grand Commander knew that he couldn't stop it no matter what.
After another chaotic scream, the lucky thousand cavalry also turned around and fled with their wounds, and there was no need for knights to pull their horses, and the panicked horses all turned around and galloped wildly one by one.
"Ahh Finished! It's over..."
The cavalry behind the formation only felt numb in their buttocks, and they also hurriedly beat their horses and turned around.
"Quick! Retreat! Hurry back! ”
Lei Ming's eyes glared and shouted: "~Accelerate to kill, rush to kill at full speed~"
The soldiers behind him also immediately shouted and accelerated, and soon the ten thousand war horses burst out with the strongest horsepower.
The startled salamander smiled faintly and no longer paid attention to the pursuit battle ahead.
"Husband! The Donghu cavalry is nothing more than that! ”
Lin Shu nodded, the Hu cavalry at this time was really not very good, at least until the brutal Mao Dun reorganized the army, it really showed the bravery and good fighting of the Hun cavalry.
Of course, the equipment of the steppe now is not as good as it was decades later. By the time the Xiongnu had crossed the Great Wall, the steppe tribes, who had captured many artisan slaves, had also acquired the technology to make iron tools.
"Damn! Damn it! Blow the trumpet of death! "Let 10,000 cavalry chase and kill, General Imu can't afford to lose this person.
Woo woo ~ woo woo ~ The trumpet sounded, and it was the call of death.
Listening to the horn, the panicked Donghu people also calmed down a lot.
"Ah, give me death!" The angry Donghu knight immediately turned his head and arrowed, he knew that he couldn't escape!
The clever Donghu warrior did not shoot the armored knight, and looked at the horse's head.
Similarly, many cavalry also began to shoot back on their backs, and the cavalry of the Northern Army, who was chasing too quickly, immediately fell by hundreds.
Because of carelessness, the northern army lost several hundred, and the knights also fought back angrily.
Wow~ A short wooden spear flew straight out, and some smart Donghu people immediately hid on the horse's belly, but he forgot that the horse's head couldn't hide.
Sigh ~ Sigh ~ Rhythm ~ Rhythm ~ After thousands of wooden spears, almost all of the 1,000 cavalry fell.
Woo~woo~
The horn of death was called, and the commanders had to turn around with their cavalry.
"Kill ~ Kill the past ~" The two armies are already close at hand, and all that remains is flesh and blood colliding.
The guys of the Donghu cavalry are varied, and most of them are short heavy weapons.
The weapons of the cavalry of the Northern Army are all unified enlarged and lengthened cavalry sabers, and the sabers of one meter and two meters are more than ten catties, but some warriors even think they are very light.
Kill~Kill~
Sigh law ~
Thundered~
The tribal leaders who watched the battle were also dumbfounded, and the siege battle that was promised was now turned into a decisive battle!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Northern Army has already been dispatched, and we can't wait! Otherwise, Imu will definitely be defeated! Seite said anxiously that if their main forces were defeated, the Donghu Alliance would have no power to resist after that!
The son-in-law of the dead ghost Qi Shan also didn't want Donghu to be defeated, and he also sighed and said! "Ladies and gentlemen, our troops will also dispatch 20,000 soldiers!"
"Okay, let's send troops immediately!"
Even the defeated soldiers began to fight, and everyone no longer hesitated.
Yimu, who had just run back, was relieved to see that the cavalry had been assembled and dispatched.
The cavalry of the Northern Army was well equipped, but there were many Donghu cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of the two divisions was not much different, and the casualties were also not much different after each staggered charge.
Knowing that the wild people have thick skin and hard armor, most of the Donghu people directly attack the war horses. It also made many fallen Northern Army warriors still have combat effectiveness, and it was difficult for the fallen Donghu knights to even get up.
It also takes time for the infantry to speed up, and he doesn't want the cavalry to be disabled, so Lin Shu can't sit still.
"Startled salamander, you stay in town, and this king should also be dispatched."
Without waiting for the startled salamander to reply, Lin Shu's black tiger also sped up and ran away.
"Husband!" The startled salamander immediately entered the cab in a hurry, her man didn't have much strength, and even if he controlled the black tiger, he couldn't last long.
Suddenly, the Black Tiger Mecha of the Startled Salamander floated, and even the control levers and pedals automatically slowed down.
After seeing the carriage also dispatched, the startled salamander was also relieved. "Huh! Husband, this guy! I thought he was impulsive! ”
Lin Shu is not stupid, he knows his strength better.
The black tiger is very strong but not invincible, and the steel will also be deformed if it is cut and beaten, especially the strength of the black tiger's joints and pressure trachea is relatively weak.
In just ten minutes, only half of the 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Army remained.
Similarly, there are only more than 10,000 Donghu cavalry left.
"Let's go! Let's retreat first! "Lei Ming had to retreat, and now they also rushed into the encirclement of the Donghu people.
Seeing that the damned cavalry was about to flee, Sit immediately gave the order.
"Quick, kill me, don't let them go."
If the cavalry of the Northern Army can be completely wiped out, how this battle will be fought is what the Donghu cavalry says.
After more than 10,000 Donghu cavalry hedged, they also happened to see the main force of the Northern Army not far away, and the steel black tiger almost in front of them.
The black tiger is three meters tall and six meters long, and its tail is a three-meter-long chain sword.
"Just in time, try the power of the machine gun."
