Chapter 316 Sweep

The sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, and the dense cavalry ranks covered the field of vision of the officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army like a moving city wall.

All the sounds in the world were gone, and only one note remained.

At this time, in front of the Youzhou army formation, two columns of shield walls have been arranged, spears and hedgehogs are like spears, sticking out of the shield wall, tall sergeants, leaning on the shield, holding the spear obliquely, they exude the smell of fear, but they are not afraid of the enemy's cowardice.

They are the most brave and warlike infantry group in Hebei, and most of them are also soldiers who have passed the test of the battle of Liaodong, so it can be said that they are one of the best infantry in the world.

In the face of a strong enemy, they showed the courage and firm combat confidence of the Youzhou force.

It's a pity that the horses on the opposite side are also one of the best cavalry clusters in the world, and they are also experienced in a hundred battles, so they didn't leave much time for the Youzhou army to prepare.

The sad thing is that the two strong armies of the Great Sui Border Army, which were supposed to work together to resist foreign aggression, are now facing each other with swords and guns, and they want to spill countless hot blood in the civil war.

The lessons of countless pioneers with blood have left countless truths to future generations, but future generations will still involuntarily fall into the same reincarnation, which is undoubtedly the sorrow of the Central Plains Empire.

Of course, like those ancestors, people who are on the battlefield do not think about any big reason, they only know that the goal of this battle is to defeat the enemy in front of them and win the final victory.

Luo Yi stood under the general's banner, staring closely at the cavalry formation that was getting closer and closer in front of him.

At this time, he had already seen it clearly. This is not a chaotic army, nor is it a Turkic elite horseman. This is the Sui army, and there is only the elite cavalry of the Sui army. will have such a strict array and oppressive momentum.

What made him breathe a sigh of relief was that he didn't see the armored heavy cavalry in front of him, which was undoubtedly good news for the Youzhou army.

But then, Luo Yi's face turned pale.

The enemy on the opposite side did not slow down at all, let alone have the slightest intention of stopping.

The sound of the horses' hooves became more and more rapid, and they accelerated, without any buffer. As soon as they saw the Youzhou army, they loosened the reins of their horses, and in a short time, they let the war horses gallop wildly.

This is a long-planned attack, there will be no scenes, and it will not give the enemy any respite, their strategic purpose is to wipe this Youzhou army from the Hebei Plain, and will not even give them a chance to escape.

Galloping horses. The earth seemed to shake, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves seemed to hit people's hearts, making people breathless.

No one saw this with their own eyes. It is impossible to imagine the terrifying momentum of such a cavalry army when it charges.

Looking down from the sky, the cavalry looked like a flood bursting its banks. Rush forward.

Unlike the Turks, the charge was not mixed with the wild howls of the knights. In addition to the sound of horses' hooves, it was the hoarse herald of the officers.

"Zhang Gong. Zhang Gong. ”

Such voices rang out between the two armies.

At the same time, it also kicked off the most visually striking scene in this battle.

As the bowstrings hummed, the black-pressed arrows rose into the sky almost simultaneously from the two armies, staggering through the sky, mixed with a scalp-numbing whooshing sound, and fell into the formation of the two armies.

For a while, countless people fell to the ground screaming, countless people screamed and flew away from the war horse, the war horse fell down with a wail, and threw the knight on his back out, and the horse was trampled on the flesh and blood in an instant.

The blood began to flow in large quantities at this moment, and it never stopped until the end of the war.

And in such a charge, the cavalry's long-range attack ability is inferior to that of the infantry.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the cavalry in the front row skillfully hung up their bows and arrows, took off their round shields, drew their steel swords, and prepared to engage in battle.

The arrows flying in the sky rose and fell like clouds in the sky, constantly causing casualties.

Indeed, as Li Po expected, the casualties caused by a military brigade like the Youzhou Army to the cavalry were very terrible.

The cavalry in the front row became sparse in the rain of arrows, and when they came to the shield wall less than a hundred paces, they had to endure a dense round of crossbow fire, and when they got closer, some throwing weapons such as axes and short guns also began to kill the cavalry.

A whole platoon, hundreds of cavalry, very few can rush to the front of the shield wall.

This is the greeting gift of the strict infantry formation to the cavalry, it can be said that if the Youzhou army is fully prepared, the same number of infantry troops will stick to one place, and if you want to impulse such a military formation, you will have to pay a great price.

The most elite infantry brigade will artificially turn the place where it is stationed into a city.

Of course, such opportunities were scarce, and the infantry's sluggish movement and over-reliance on logistical baggage made it difficult for them to engage in a positional battle with the cavalry.

Just like now, the Youzhou army that rushed to meet the battle took a big advantage at first glance, but they couldn't stop the galloping cavalry from continuously hitting the shield wall, and even couldn't even curb the charging momentum of the Heng'an Zhen army.

On the battlefield, boom; There was a loud bang, even drowned out the sound of horses' hooves.

The infantry and cavalry finally had a large-scale collision, and countless lives disappeared in this collision.

Countless figures flew up and fell into the Youzhou army formation, there were Heng'an Town army cavalry, and there were Youzhou army soldiers, they all moved according to the inherent physical rules at the moment of the collision.

Blood was thrown out like cheap dye.

The screams and the sound of broken bones continued, but they were muffled by the loud noise.

The knight was pierced by the spear and picked off the war horse, and countless war horses were stabbed to the ground by the spear, and under the inertia, the spear was broken, and it hit the shield wall, and the Youzhou sergeant behind the collision broke the bones and tendons.

In the cruel and bloody scene, the terrifying impact of the cavalry was also revealed at this moment.

The neat shield wall, the moment it touched, was smashed apart, creating countless gaps.

The follow-up cavalry did not waste the results of the comrades in front of them at the cost of their lives.

Almost stepping on the corpses of their enemies and comrades, they swarmed through the gaps and slammed into the second shield wall without stopping.

People are always asking the same question, who will win with the sharpest spear, against the strongest shield.

Put this analogy on the Heng'an Zhen Army and the Youzhou Army, then you will get the most perfect and true answer, the spear will win.

Because it is sharper, the power is more concentrated, of course, the most important point is that the spear has the initiative to attack, no matter how good the defense is, it is not as good as a sharp attack, in the military, this is a truth.

The two shield walls, under the frantic impact of the Heng'an Zhen Army, did not hold on for even a moment at all, and were drowned behind by the cavalry.

After the cavalry charged, it was like a slaughterhouse, and all the corpses of men and horses were trampled to sparse pieces, and they were no longer human.

Luo Yi's flag has also disappeared, and I don't know whose hands it fell into for the credit of capturing the flag.

Of course, it was just to capture the flag, Luo Yi saw the opportunity quickly, even if he didn't escape quickly, there were still guards around him, when a large group of cavalry rushed over, Luo Yi was escorted and retreated to the back.

And this retreat has never stopped.

The two shield walls were broken, the flags were cut down, and the Youzhou army finally became chaotic.

The tidal wave of cavalry swept by, completely submerging the Youzhou army's military formation, and the cavalry's steel swords swung down, cutting down rows of Youzhou sergeants to the ground.

The most valuable archer in the army became a helpless lamb at this time, to be slaughtered.

Eight thousand cavalry, facing the fifteen thousand Youzhou army, created a horrific massacre, countless Youzhou troops were making their last efforts, gathering around the generals, frantically resisting the seemingly never-ending collision and the steel knives that never stopped.

On the left side of the army, more than 2,000 Heng'an Zhen troops broke away from the army and went directly north to meet the challenge of the cavalry of the Youzhou army.

If the infantry of the Youzhou Army can still cause a lot of casualties to the Hengan Town Army, then the cavalry of the Youzhou Army can only be said to be unsatisfactory in front of the Hengan Town Army.

The Heng'an Zhen Army, which fought with the Turks year after year, showed an overwhelming advantage in the cavalry battle.

They skillfully controlled the war horses, and used the most tricky angles to cut down the war horses one by one, and the four thousand cavalry staggered by, leaving behind most of the corpses of the Youzhou army cavalry.

Only a few hundred remained, and they launched a hopeless onslaught at the swarming cavalry army, which was soon drowned in the behemoth.

Wei Chigong and the others arrived a little late, and the battlefield was already a mess, and the main army had swept over, leaving behind the dense corpses of the Youzhou soldiers.

This shocked them and disappointed them.

However, they also had to follow behind the army and began to encircle and suppress the remnants of the enemy, in fact, it was almost the same as cleaning up the battlefield, and there were very few surviving Youzhou soldiers.

Most of them were in positions on both sides, avoiding the onslaught of the main cavalry, and in the face of the arriving brigade of cavalry, they had no choice, not even a chance to escape, so they could only lay down their arms and surrender on the spot.

Unexpectedly, not long after, some soldiers erupted in fierce cheers, who said that there is no gain in cleaning the battlefield?

Wei Chigong won the jackpot, and his subordinates escorted a big man with a disheveled hair to his horse, and Luo Yi was caught by him.

This is a pie in the sky, Wei Chigong doesn't need to mention his pride, and immediately gathered his subordinates angrily, as if he was afraid that others would come to rob him.

almost made Luo Shixin and several other leading captains angry with their noses.

After this battle, Li Po and his Heng'an town army shook Hebei and became famous all over the world.
