Chapter 32: Heavy Armor and Iron Cavalry

If it is against the infantry, these spears are meaningless. Not only because they can be easily bypassed when stuck in the ground, but also because the spears are stuck with the tip down into the ground, even if they hit it, it will only hurt at most.

The problem was that it was now the cavalry who were facing these pikes, and it was heavy cavalry in dense formations.

With such a dense formation, how can it be dispersed and bypassed? How do horses stop when they run at high speed, one after the other? What's more, although the heavy armor cavalry is very tightly protected and difficult to break through with ordinary weapons, it has a very major flaw: because the armor is too heavy, it is difficult to stop once it advances at high speed, and it is difficult to stand up once it falls, and the only place where this heavily armored cavalry has no protection at all is the belly of the war horse, the problem is that those guns are rushing at the belly of the war horse!

Now, these cavalrymen, who could not stop, could not disperse, could not get up after falling, were rushing straight at these spears!

Strike! Strike! Strike!

A series of muffled sounds, the sound of the barrel of a gun piercing through the belly of an unprotected warhorse, followed by the screams and wails of a horse, and then rows and rows of heavily armored cavalry crashing into each other, falling, and howling.

"Beat the drums, charge!" Wei Qing saw the ironclad horsemen of the thousands of Jin Army on their backs and turned into a mess, and immediately ordered to charge.

"Kill!" The Han soldiers, who had already held their breath, rushed forward with loud shouts. If the iron armored horses of the Jin army were upright, the Han soldiers would not be able to hurt them at all, but now these soldiers and horses of the Jin army fell to the ground, and the heavy armor kept them firmly on the ground, unable to struggle, and they all became lambs to be slaughtered, and the Han soldiers became blacksmiths one by one, picking up the weapons in their hands and hitting them on their iron armor, and if they didn't achieve it, they would change it again, and the Jin soldiers wrapped in the iron armor became sandbags, and they were beaten by the Han soldiers and screamed loudly. There are many people who have been beaten and their bones are broken, but they are still immortal for a while. This strongest protection has become the biggest obstacle.

Wu Ming sat on his horse and watched the attack of the third team on the left from a distance, his excitement overflowing.

"General, shouldn't the whole army attack?" The generals on one side were also a little impatient.

"Don't rush." Wu Ming pointed in the direction of the Jin army: "They have only dispatched the middle route army, we have to wait." ”

The battlefield formed two heavens of ice and fire. In the middle road, the Han soldiers desperately slaughtered the Jin army, and the left and right wings, whether it was the Jin army or the Han army, stood there quietly watching the massacre.

Wei Qing was directing the soldiers to advance, Li Guang came to him with sweat all over, he was holding a big hammer in his hand, the hammer head was a little bent, it seemed that he was trying to learn the technique of striking iron.

"Why didn't the marshal order the whole army to attack?" Li Guang's eyebrows were dripping with sweat, and he asked Wei Qing loudly, "Wei Guji, you should send someone to remind the marshal!" ”

"Don't rush!" Wei Qing replied loudly, in the sound of clanging iron, it was really difficult to want to talk, "The marshal is waiting for the two wings of the Jin Army to move!" ”

Li Guang shook his head, turned his head and left, he really didn't understand why he couldn't let the Han army act first, so he had to say loudly: "I'll go to strike iron!" ”

Wei Qing smiled silently.

This is the art of command, since their own side has won in the middle, it is impossible for the Jin army to want to fight between the middle and the left and the right and the right, so it is the best way to maintain the advantage when they change the formation first, and then change the targeted. Sometimes, the first strike can be controlled, and sometimes, the second strike can also be controlled, depending on the ability of the generals.

"Line up horizontally, kill all the Jin Army, don't miss it!" Wei Qing ordered loudly.

The soldiers of the Han army quickly lined up in dozens of rows, the first row never hit again after striking into the ground, but immediately moved forward, and the second row immediately struck again, and the rows of soldiers did not stop and hit the ground mercilessly. The Jin soldiers kept wailing, and some of the Jin soldiers desperately tried to climb away, but they couldn't get rid of the burden of the heavy armor, and they shouted urgently.

Wei Qing narrowed his eyes and looked coldly ahead.

He didn't just want to take revenge on the Jin army, but more importantly, he wanted the Jin army on the left and right flanks to watch his compatriots being slowly stoned to death until they couldn't stand the change of formation. Now, the advantage is on the side of the Han army, and they are forced to be more passive!

Jin Jun finally couldn't stand it anymore. With the sound of a horn, the left and right wings of the Jin army rushed out and rushed straight towards the Han army in the middle.

"Knot Shield Array!" Wei Qing immediately ordered.

"They are fewer in number than we are." Bai Buxin had been following Wei Qing's side, and at this moment, he heard Wei Qing's order to form a shield formation that was conducive to defending against unfavorable attacks, and hurriedly reminded him.

"But their anger is higher than ours." Wei Qing replied.

Not bad. The combined strength of these two Jin armies is only 6,000 people, and the Han army in the middle is 10,000 people, which is more than the opponent, but these two Jin armies are watching their compatriots being slowly stoned to death for a long time before rushing up, and the anger in their hearts is definitely twelve points strong, in this case, they cannot attack them.

"Formation!" Bai Buxin only listened to Wei Qing's words, and immediately understood, he hurriedly shouted and organized a formation with Li Guanghuarong.

The soldiers of the Han army quickly contracted their formations, with the big shield outside, the spear second, and the hammer bow and arrow arranged in order, forming five large formations in the blink of an eye, arranged in a plum blossom shape.

The Jin Army has arrived. When you get closer, you can see that the soldiers of the Jin Army have blood-red eyes, and they are desperately rushing over, trying to break through the defense of the Han army.

But this formation shaped like an iron bucket is not so easy to break, far by the bow and arrow attack, close by the hammer and spear, lucky rush to the front of the formation, in the face of the opponent's soldiers can not see the opponent's big shield powerless, can only struggle to the shield to slash and thorn.

The horn sounded again, and the reserve army of the Jin army was also mobilized, and the five thousand reserve army shouted and pressed over, and the total number of people had already surpassed the Han army of the third team on the left.

"Together!" Wei Qing stood in the middle of the formation, watching the six roads and listening to all directions, and when he saw that the Jin army had added troops again, he immediately gave an order.

The five large arrays approached each other, and after a while, they merged into three large arrays, and the finished products were arranged in a shape. Although the Jin army had a slight advantage in numbers, it was still unable to break through the Han army's defense.

Hua Rong led a group of soldiers to move from left to right, and happened to pass by Wei Qing's side, he shouted at Wei Qing, "Wei Guerrilla, it's time to attack, right?" ”

Wei Qing waved his hand and did not answer. He knew in his heart that the strength of the Jin army was not empty now, and although he had defeated the opponent's middle lane and attracted more than 10,000 Jin troops, the Jin army's position was still stable, and if the Han army launched a general attack now, it would still be difficult to win for a while.

I have to endure it a little longer!

Although the attack of the Jin army was not all ineffective, the effect was very poor, in front of the Han army's infantry and shield array, thousands of corpses fell on top of each other, but the Han army's formation was still not chaotic. The Jin army suffered some setbacks, and the attack power began to weaken.

"Left and right, forward!" Wei Qing keenly grasped this change, and immediately ordered the left and right formations to move forward.

The situation on the battlefield has changed subtly. The Han army, which was originally defended in the shape of a glyph, has now become a zigzag, and if it goes further, it will form an inverted glyph, and then the left and right formations will be combined, and the Jin army in the middle will be surrounded and slaughtered.

The horn sounded again, and 10,000 Jin troops attacked from the left and right sides at the same time.

Wei Qing raised his eyebrows.

You're wrong. Wei Qing secretly said to the commander of the Jin Army in his heart, if you order to retreat now, it will only be an undefeated situation, but you refuse to retreat but increase your troops, this time, you are very wrong!

"Form a circle!" Wei Qing ordered a change of formation again.

The three large arrays began to change, and after a while they became a circle. The 3,000 Han soldiers lined up in the middle of the circle, blocking wherever there was a crisis, and strengthening the Jin army wherever it wanted to make a breakthrough.

On the battlefield, the 20,000 Jin Army surrounded the 10,000 Han Army, but the 20,000 Jin Army was unable to break through the defense of the 10,000 Han Army!

The trumpet sounded again. Suddenly, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and I saw the light cavalry of the five hundred gold army rushing straight towards the round formation, and the first person was majestic, it was Wei Qing's "old acquaintance" Zamuhe!

Wei Qing's heart sank.

This formation is no problem to deal with twice the Jin army, and even twice as much can be supported, but it is not good to deal with the cavalry, because the biggest problem with this formation is that it is not flexible, and the enemy cavalry does not have to attack directly, as long as it turns around this formation a few times. Because you can't keep up with the speed of the cavalry, you can't mobilize your army to defend against possible enemy breaches. Wei Qing and Zamu have fought twice, and they know that this person is brave and tenacious, if he rushes straight up at all costs, although the cavalry of the Jin Army is only five hundred, but with the impact of horses, at least this formation can break through a hole, and as long as this formation opens a hole, it will all collapse!

Wei Qing's forehead began to sweat. This is the natural gap between cavalry and infantry, especially in the case of forming such an infantry and shield formation, it is even more defenseless. What to do? He can't change the formation, the 20,000 gold troops outside are attacking next to his formation, as long as he moves, he will be broken, and he can't help but change, otherwise the opponent's cavalry will definitely break through his formation.

"Stop, stop, don't move!" Li Guang's loud voice sounded, and he was desperately organizing the soldiers to seal a small gap that had just been rushed out. What's worse is that Zamuhe also saw this small gap, he roared, waved his waist knife, and rushed straight towards this gap with five hundred cavalry!

"Block!" Wei Qing had no other way, and immediately pointed forward.

Bai Buxin rushed forward with a thousand soldiers.
