Chapter 609: A Clash Between the Cavalry

The commander of the cavalry, Han Lu, also gave the order to attack, he raised the battle axe in his hand and roared sharply, and the Xianbei cavalry around him also roared loudly with him.

It is said that when he was a teenager, he once single-handedly chased and killed the wild wolves on the grassland, and later fought with the big Danghu. When Dadanghu went south several times to deepen the friendship between ethnic groups, Changhanlu also followed Dadanghu to the south, and accumulated merit and rose to the rank of Qianqi Commander. With a bloody brave and aggressive body, he is also slightly famous among ordinary Xianbei people, although he is very ugly and bald, but in the current era, the man on the battlefield is not more important than looking at the face, but to see whether there is force, plus he is loyal to the big pawn, so he naturally became an important cavalry commander under the big pawn, and the Shu Si Yan of the same level did not dare to despise him.

This is the first time this year after the big danghu went south and the Han army rode head-on, Chang Hanlu did not dare to despise it, he held the battle axe that followed his life, and issued a series of orders: "The whole army charges!" Left and right and then accelerate! Wrap it up! Get ready to shoot! ”

Fei Qian attaches the most importance to the equipment of the soldiers, so whether it is a cavalry or a foot soldier, this is the case. In order to reduce the burden on the horses, the cavalry generally wore two crotch armor with sleeves, and then a helmet with neck guards, and a small round shield nailed with iron sheets......

That's all for the cavalry's protective equipment.

As for the arms, legs, and other parts without armor, it can only be blessed by luck.

Even such a simple piece of equipment has made many people envious, including these Xianbei people who only have leather robes and dirt on their bodies because they don't take a bath all year round.

Under Changhanlu's order, the Xianbei people, who had lived on horseback since childhood, were obviously superior in riding and archery skills, and a puff of arrows flew out with a "whoosh" arrow, and took the lead in attacking, roaring straight at Ma Yan and others.

"Raise your shield!" As soon as Ma Yan saw the Xianbei people raise their bows and arrows, he immediately shouted and ordered, and at the same time reached out and hooked the small round riding shield hanging from the side of the horse in his hand, lowered his body, used the small round shield to half-cover his face and the horse's head, and knocked the horse's hip with the handle of the spear with his right hand.

The war horse was in pain, neighed, and accelerated again.

As soon as Ma Yan's words fell, the Xianbei people's arrows had already arrived.

The Han army rode basically the same as Ma Yan's movements, bowing his body and covering his face and the horse's head with a small round shield, after all, there was armor on his body, and the bow and arrow of the Xianbei people were still weaker in comparison, as for the other parts, it was up to God to see if God had given him this luck.

The number of Xianbei people is twice that of Ma Yan, and they have begun to slightly expand the formation, and the arrows are like a torrential rain, and the black pressure will fall down!

An arrow grazed the edge of the shield and hit Mayan's helmet, and with a "dang" bounced away, Mayan was knocked on the horse's back and shook it, but instead of stopping, he raised his spear high and shouted: "Speed up, kill—"

The Han army also had bows and arrows, but the reason why they didn't choose to compete with the Xianbei people was because Ma Yan, as a qualified cavalryman, naturally knew what it was to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Compared with the cavalry of the Han army and Xianbei, it is still a big difference, but because of the equipment, the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Xianbei cavalry is naturally a little worse, so it is the right choice to adopt different combat modes for different people.

"Kill—"

The knights of the Han army roared angrily, some raised their swords in their hands, some leveled the spears in their hands, their eyes widened angrily, and they followed closely behind Ma Yan.

Although the Han army rode armor and equipment protection, but there are still many people who were shot by arrows, although not necessarily fatal injuries, but the impact of the arrows will also cause some people to sit still and turn over and fall off the horse, and then be trampled to death by the horse's hooves galloping behind, some feet are barely hanging on the stirrups, dragged by the war horse and galloping, but more people are desperately holding the reins, grabbing the horse's mane, tightly clamping the horse's belly, ignoring the arrows on the body, staring at the enemy who is getting closer and closer with red eyes, neighing and roaring, and the fighting spirit is soaring.

Ma Yan deflected the angle of the impact a little, and rushed headlong into the connection between the Xianbei people's center formation and the right flank!

"Boom!" The two armies collided, and many cavalrymen who could not dodge fell off their horses.

The huge bodies of the war horses collided together, making a terrifying sound of flesh and blood and bones breaking, and the cavalry, whether Han or Xianbei, had no way to maintain their body after the impact, and were thrown high from the horse's back by inertia......

"Kill!"

Ma Yan turned to the side slightly, flashed a split war knife, and easily slashed the spear, instantly cutting the neck of the Xianbei cavalryman.

The Xianbei cavalry covered his neck with his hands, screamed and turned over and fell off the horse, and then was trampled on the chest by the horse's hooves behind him.

The spear in Ma Yan's hand was urgent, and the bright spear head turned into a spear flower, not only swinging away the spears of the Xianbei cavalry stabbed from the left and right sides, but also smashing the chest of a Xianbei cavalryman on the left side, knocking it off the horse.

With the power of the rebound, Ma Yan twisted the spear again, and marked the waist of a Xianbei cavalryman on the right, and the huge blood flowers suddenly bloomed, and the head of the spear was castrated, and even a deep blood mark was cut on the hip of his war horse. The wounded horse neighed and jumped to the side, but it hit another horse running in the same direction, and both of them fell to the ground.

The cavalry on both sides collided and fought, using the speed of their horses and even their own bodies to fight each other.

A Han cavalry and Xianbei cavalry couldn't dodge and collided together, the Han cavalry on horseback had already prepared, taking advantage of the inertia of the horse's speed to rise into the air, with a roar, he chopped off the head of a Xianbei cavalryman with a knife in both hands, but before he could find the place where he fell, a spear pierced from one side like a poisonous snake and pierced his abdomen......

The two armies between the cavalry were relatively charged, and there was nothing else fancy, and what could be used was their own horse speed and the martial bravery between the cavalry.

The Xianbei cavalry won because of their superb riding skills, tacit cooperation, and the number of them was relatively large, but the Han cavalry was well-equipped, and the armor on their bodies and the ring-headed knives and iron spears in their hands caused great damage to the Xianbei knights. The arrows and knives of the Xianbei people shot and slashed on the armor of the Han cavalry, often just a burst of sparks flew around, and the Han cavalry did not receive any substantial damage, but on the contrary, as long as the knives and spears of the Han cavalry touched the Xianbei people, it was often a puff of blood flying......

War horses gallop like the wind, war knives are waved like lightning, war spears fly up and down, blood and severed limbs fly all over the sky, people's roars, and horses' screams are mixed together, staining the heavens and the earth red.
