Chapter 605: The Coming of Crisis

The war horses of the Xianbei people began to gallop, like waves of never-ending tides swarming up and whistling. The horse's hooves rose and fell rapidly, beating on the mud and the river, and although the slippery soil hindered the horses from reaching the highest speed, the Xianbei people roared, roared, echoed, and lay on the horse's back, covering their faces and chests with the horse's torso and neck, and raised their war knives, pumping the war horses wildly, forcing the war horses to exert their last strength, so that they could pass this section of the road full of death in the fastest time.

Almost all Xianbei people know that once the step of the charge is taken, there are only two results, either you will die in battle or you will hack your opponent to death. The cavalry shock infantry does have a certain advantage, but having an advantage does not mean that there are no casualties, judging from the effect of the latest tentative first wave of conflict, the position of the Han army is tight, and after passing through the riverbed, it is necessary to destroy those rejected horses, otherwise it is still impossible to directly hit the Han army.

Although the Han army formation on the opposite side is very tricky, the Xianbei people believe that the final victory will still belong to them, but before that, many Xianbei people who go out of the battle will die in front of the battle, paving a way with the flesh and blood of themselves and their war horses.

This was especially true for those Xianbei cavalry who rushed to the front, some of them did not even have leather armor, so they could only use themselves and the body of the mount under their crotch to block the bows and crossbows of the Han army, buying a little time for their companions behind them to charge.

If it is on flat and solid hard ground, the distance of more than a hundred steps, at most a few breaths, although there will be people falling under the crossbow of the Han army, but it will not be as many as now. In particular, the war horse has no armor, so it can only rely on the large and strong body, take a few more arrows, and hold on for a while, but once it falls, it often affects the charging route of the cavalry behind.

Although Huang Cheng's Han army occupied the geographical advantage, but the number of Xianbei people changed all this, those Xianbei people who were shot down by the bow and crossbow, their significance is to win a blink of an eye before death, and a little bit of short time continues to accumulate, it is enough to change the direction of the battle.

As the distance between the two armies continued to shorten, the invisible line of death was constantly approaching Huang Cheng's military formation, and when the Xianbei people broke through to the front of the rejection, it meant that death finally came to their heads.

Looking at one by one, one by one, the warrior horses fell, but the big man stared at the other side coldly, without even moving between his eyebrows, he knew in his heart that if the Han army did not feel the reinforcements, then in the end, the Han army of less than 1,000 people would be killed alive by him, and the victory would eventually belong to himself.

The big boss needs a victory, longs for a victory, to stabilize his position, maintain his dignity, and even do not hesitate to exchange the flesh and blood of his subordinates.

But for those Xianbei cavalry who wanted to use their flesh and blood to consume the combat effectiveness of the Han army before victory, their significance was how much time they could exchange for before they died, how much distance they could advance, and how many people they could kill.

Under the slim hope of survival, the Xianbei people inspired the kind of madness in their bones, the kind of killing intent, they ignored the miserable howl of their comrades around them who were shot by the bow and crossbow, and didn't care whether they would be shot, in their minds, there was only one thing, that is, to rush forward, if they could kill one or two enemies, then at least they could pull a cushion.

Huang Cheng's Han army in the infantry is even more so, they are even more crazy than the Xianbei people, anyone who faces the charge of the cavalry, will immediately feel the huge pressure, the Hu people's war knife, the Hu people's madness, the Hu people's horse collision regardless of it, he has killed so many Xianbei Hu people, can he escape or surrender to get a way out?

There is no way out, because there is no way to outrun the war horse, and there is no surrender, and it is also inevitable to surrender.

Huang Cheng didn't do any combat incentives, because these subordinates were all soldiers he had trained, and they were all real soldiers who he watched little by little from a guy who didn't know whether to hold a knife with his left hand or his right hand.

Now, Huang Cheng is standing here, following his men and his own soldiers,

There is no way to retreat, no matter at this moment, whether it is brave or cowardly, everyone can only take up arms and sacrifice their lives to fight, just like two fierce beasts, gnawing at each other, flesh and blood flying.

"Spearmen prepare—" Huang Cheng snorted.

The spearman, who was hiding behind the sword and shield hand, rushed forward, and under the cover of the sword and shield hand, he stuck the tail of the spear in his hand in the dirt, and the companions in the back row stepped on it tightly, and he held the handle of the spear tightly, and put it on the big shield of the sword and shield hand, becoming the second line of defense after the wooden horse.

The spear is the best weapon to deal with the cavalry, as long as the war horse is pierced in the chest and abdomen by the spear, it is basically over, there is no hope of survival, but the impact force of the spear when piercing the body of the war horse is also very amazing, even if the spear is pushed against the earth, it will often be directly broken, and the hand that hurts the spearman is still small, and even the broken spear will stab his body, which is very dangerous.

Although the width of the ferry was widened, under the incessant shooting of two hundred crossbows, every time the Xianbei people took a step forward, the riders in front of them would fall along with the horses. Especially the strong crossbow of the Han army, the degree of damage far exceeded the expectations of the Xianbei people, whether it is a person or a horse, as long as it is shot, it will basically lose its combat effectiveness immediately, and fall to the ground like being hit by a heavy hammer, that kind of huge lethality, so that many Xianbei people are frightened.

The number of Xianbei people is indeed superior, and the bows and crossbows of the Han army peel off the skin of the Xianbei cavalry layer by layer like skinning, but in the end, there are still Xianbei cavalry urging the horse to directly collide with the rejection horse erected by the Han army.

There is the soft mud of the river, and there is the existence of a strong crossbow, and the method of the Hu people using the lasso to pull the rejection of the horse is basically ineffective, because it is very difficult to change direction or turn around in the riverbed, and after the rejection of the horse, it is the knife and shield hand with the knife, and the lasso is basically left on the rejection of the horse......

Therefore, if the Xianbei people want to destroy the rejection horse, there is only one way left.

Hit it with flesh and blood!

The Xianbei people, who had escaped the baptism of the rain of arrows, roared wildly, whipped and cut the horse's hips with their war knives, as much as possible to make the war horses that had just left the muddy area of the tidal flats faster, and then before they rejected the horses, they violently lifted the reins of the war horses and crashed into them like this!

At this moment, the terrible crisis of Huang Cheng's Han army formation finally came to his head......
