Chapter 150: A Tragic Cavalry Fight
The first time the Huns saw the horseshoe, they misjudged from the loud vibration rumble.
At the forefront of the charge was a cavalryman whose whole body was covered in armor and even his eyes were protected by a helmet.
Even every horse is covered with thick armor!
The Huns mostly wore animal skins, and the elite who could wear rattan armor was the highest!
Therefore, riding on horseback is flexible, strong, and very strong, and I have always been proud of it!
Now seeing that the vanguard of the Qin army on the opposite side is wearing such strange armor on the battlefield, many people are very strange in their eyes.
Thick armor does increase defenses, but bulky armor also severely affects movement.
The Huns looked at the running heavy cavalry with a look of disdain in their eyes.
Soon, there were only a hundred steps left between the two sides!
The first time I heard the heavy sound of horses' hooves, there was a commotion in the midst of panic, and many people were surprised with fear on their faces.
The sound of the iron horse's paw on the grass made the earth seem to shake.
There are more than 70,000 Huns, even if they are commanders, and then they are conveyed by the roars of each level, it will take a lot of time for more than 70,000 people.
The cavalry of the Qin army drew their bowstrings one after another under the signal of the torches raised high.
Woohoo!
When they got closer than eighty paces, a rain of arrows shot into the sky.
At the same time, there was a shout from behind the shield phalanx.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
A dense rain of arrows shot out from behind the shields, one after the other.
"Ahh
"I've been shot!"
"Help!"
“……”
In an instant, the Xiongnu were hit by dense arrows from the front and from the side, and immediately screamed again and again.
When people are in danger, their first reaction is to dodge or block.
When a rain of arrows fell on both sides, the Huns panicked in a scream.
There are a few who think they are brave, and they will fight back when they raise their bows.
It's a pity that under the overwhelming rain of arrows indiscriminately, in the middle of the chest, a scream fell from the horse's back.
However, in the end, there were many people, and there were still many Hun cavalry who raised their bows and arrows, and a wave of arrow rain reflected the past.
Ding Ding Ding!
All sorts of arrows hit the armor of the heavy cavalry with a crisp sound.
The thick armor is difficult to break through even the arrows made of stainless steel, let alone the arrows made by the Huns from pig iron, bronze, and even animal bones!
With a crisp sound, a number of arrows struck and cracked in the steel armor.
Those arrows polished by animal bones have been crumbled into slag!
"How so?!"
The Huns' eyes widened in surprise when they saw that the arrows of the counterattack had not caused the slightest damage to the cavalry on the opposite side.
At the same time, the sound of his companion screaming and falling to the ground with an arrow was heard in his ears, and his heart was even more afraid.
The cavalry that has always made the Huns proud of can't hurt the enemy, how can this be fought!
"Kill!"
After firing a volley, the heavy cavalry immediately put away their light bows, raised their long ges horizontally, and charged forward.
With the contribution of the Donghu captives fighting and mining with each other, the 300,000 army has basically been redressed.
Although the previous bronze weapons were as strong as the Korean pig iron weapons, the smelters were good!
Under the reflection of the firelight, the bright Changge flashed with cold light!
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a dull crash in the night.
The war horse, wrapped in thick armor, was blindfolded and crashed headlong into the Hun cavalry, which had been hit by several rounds of bows and arrows!
The 5,000 heavy cavalry is like a sharp arrow, straight into the henchmen of the Hun cavalry!
Ding Ding Ding!
In the chaotic battle, the Hun cavalry was outnumbered, and all kinds of chaotic weapons struck on the thick armor, making a crisp sound.
The heavy cavalry did not care about the defense at all, and swung the long song with all their might.
Every time Changge crosses, a blood flower will splash!
If it was only 5,000 heavy cavalry, the Huns would naturally not be afraid.
But at a distance of thirty paces, the light cavalry rushed close in the blink of an eye.
First, a salvo of bows and arrows.
Anyway, all you see in front of you are the Huns, and you are not afraid of shooting heavy cavalry.
Under a volley, the hussars also joined the battle group.
Ahhh
The formation of the Huns had been torn apart under the charge of the heavy cavalry, and they suddenly screamed under the charge of the light cavalry.
In the battle formation, once the formation is out of order, it is not far from defeat!
Bite!
The swords of the two fighting cavalrymen collided together.
Under the crisp sound, the bronze knife snatched by the Huns instantly shattered and broke into two.
The Hun cavalry's eyes widened in surprise, and they looked at the half-cut bronze sword in their hands in a daze.
In the moment of being stunned, a chill came from his chest.
The rattan armor was pierced by the other party's shiny long knife like a cloth, and a sharp pain came from the chest!
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell to the ground!
Boom!
A Qin cavalryman slewed sideways to avoid the splitting scimitar and slashed the Xiongnu's throat with a backhand.
The Huns covered their necks with wide frightened eyes, not understanding how the Qin cavalry could suddenly become so brave and flexible, and they could make difficult dodge moves without falling off their horses!
It wasn't until he got down from the horse, lay on the ground and watched Qin Jun's feet on the strange iron ring, that he suddenly realized!
Boom!
In the confusion, an iron hoof stomped on the head of the Hun.
And then...... And then there is no more!
In the melee of 100,000 cavalry, if you fall from your horse, you can basically be declared dead!
100,000 cavalry fought fiercely on the steppe!
The Hun cavalry formation was out of order, and it was already out of order under a few rounds of salvo fire and the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of cavalry charges.
If the two sides directly charge and fight face to face at the beginning, they can still have the upper hand in the battle under the overwhelming number of people.
It's a pity that in the face of the heavy cavalry wrapped in armor to open the way, and the light cavalry to kill, but faintly lost the upper hand!
And you have to beware of sneak attacks from time to time!
Behind the caravan shield formation, the general sat on the head of his horse and watched the fierce battle, his brow furrowed.
When the light cavalry rushed into the henchmen of 80,000 people, as if they were surrounded, their eyes immediately lit up: "The opportunity has come!" ”
Immediately roared and said: "Herald, a round of flat shooting!" Brighten your eyes, if anyone dares to shoot at their own people, they will be punished with twenty rods! ”
Woohoo!
Suddenly, the Huns, who were facing away from the caravan, fell to the ground one after another under a volley.
The terrible screams made the people besieging the cavalry of the Qin army chill, and from time to time they had to pay attention to the movements behind them, how to fight this battle!
King Zuo Xian sat on his war horse, watching his morale drop greatly, and he had already fallen behind.
frowned tightly and said: "It's not a way to go on like this, blow the horn and withdraw the troops!" ”
King Youxian said angrily: "The lost soldiers have not reaped the benefits yet, how can they explain when they go back?" ”
"If all the warriors die here, there is no way to explain!" King Zuo Xian turned his head and glared.
Said in a deep voice: "Blow the horn and retreat!" ”
