Chapter 1235: A Cavalry Assault Formation

Chen Zhi lightly kicked the horse's belly, rode out of battle, raised the spear in his hand and swayed gently, and the white horsetail on the handle of the spear danced in the wind.

Fifty horsemen followed closely behind their soldiers, prancing their horses and spears, and began to trot. One hundred and fifty knights spread out on both flanks, quickly picking up speed, and soon rushed to the front of the armored horsemen. The armored cavalry is a sharp weapon for breaking through the infantry position, but it is not advantageous against the upper light cavalry. Without long-range strike weapons such as bows and crossbows, their speed and endurance are inferior to those of light cavalry, and they will only be dragged to death when they fight against light cavalry.

Yan Liang had five or six hundred guards to ride in, and since he had arranged for foot soldiers to block Shen You, it was impossible not to arrange light cavalry to harass the armored cavalry.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Zhi and the others came out of the battle, three hundred cavalry rushed out from the flanks and rushed straight to the side of the armored cavalry, with extremely fast speed. If they hit you, even a rider won't be able to carry it. Without the cover of the light cavalry, the armored cavalry could only turn and meet them head-on, but in doing so, their flanks would be exposed to the prepared foot soldiers, who were in danger of being fired at close range by the crossbows.

Obviously, Yan Liang was clear about the pros and cons of the first horse, and arranged the corresponding means to deal with it.

But Shen You and Chen Zhi were more prepared. In addition to the light cavalry cover, two thousand foot soldiers also rushed out from the two wings, pulling the baggage cart and galloping, cutting into Yan Liang's personal guard cavalry and armored cavalry. Once they blocked the attack route, the cavalry arranged by Yan Liang would lose its effect, and the armored cavalry would no longer have any worries, and could rest assured that they could boldly attack the opponent's infantry position.

Both sides were scrambling for time, and the cavalry on horseback kicked the war horse, and the war horse held its head high, galloping wildly, almost four hooves in the air. The sound of horses' hooves became a thunderclap and rumbled. The distance was getting closer and closer, and without any orders, both sides drew their bows, raised their crossbows, and began to shoot.

"Whoosh!" The arrow clicked in the air and then shot at the opposite side.

Chen took the lead and shouted: "Raise the shield-" At the same time, he raised the round shield tied to his right arm to protect himself and the chest and abdomen of the war horse. The arrows hit the small round steel shield, and the dings rang and sparks flew in all directions. Chen Zhi felt the pressure of the shield, his eyes stared at the enemy who was getting closer and closer from the edge of the shield, and when the distance between the two sides was shortened to less than thirty paces, the pressure on the shield was slightly lighter, he clenched the spear with both hands, shouted loudly, and killed the knight who rushed to the front.

Not to be outdone, the knight on the opposite side also raised his spear.

The two spears intersect and at the same time exert force, squeezing the opponent's spear shaft outwards and seizing the middle. But the knight suddenly felt the shaft of the spear loosen and had no resistance. He was taken aback, he couldn't react, the spearhead deviated from the direction, but Chen Dao's spear drew a circle and rushed into the middle door.

"Poof!" Chen Zhi struck a blow, and the spear pierced the opponent's breastplate, forcing the opponent off the horse. He secretly praised himself, the general's mastery is really extraordinary, this move is simply unguardable.

"Kill!" Chen Zhi roared, shook the spear vigorously, threw out the opponent's corpse, and stabbed the next opponent again.

Fifty knights unfolded in the shape of geese, with Chen Zhi as the head of the geese, and they were unstoppable. Chen Zhi brandished his spear and killed seven people in a row in one go, and there was no one in front of the horse. These knights can also be regarded as warriors, but in the face of Chen Dao, in the face of the light and heavy spear in Chen Zhi's hand, they did not have the strength to fight back at all, and they were hit one after another.

The two sides were on the verge of breaking out, Yan Liang's knight charge was blocked, and the speed inevitably slowed down, although they still had more than a hundred horsemen, the road ahead was blocked by foot soldiers and carts, and it had become an impossible task to impact the front of the armored horse.

On the other side, one hundred and fifty Yan Liang's personal guard cavalry and one hundred Shen You's personal guard cavalry were on par, and they were injured by each other. Yan Liang's personal guard cavalry is superior to the large number of people and rich combat experience, while Shen You's personal guard cavalry is superior to well-equipped, strong war horses, and faster speed.

At the same time that the knight brazenly carried the opponent head-on, the foot soldier also rushed to the position, stopped the cart, and set up a strong crossbow. Although the carts were not parked very neatly, and a few of them even overturned, it was enough to form an obstacle for the hussars and protect the sides of the armored cavalry.

Under the double cover of light cavalry and foot soldiers, fifty armored cavalry maintained an elegant posture and rushed towards the opposite foot soldiers. Seeing that their light cavalry was blocked by the other party, Yan Liang's infantry knew that trouble was coming, so they had to bite the bullet and prepare to meet the collision of the armored cavalry. The sword and shield hand clenched the big shield in his hand, the spearman tightened the spear in his hand, and the strong crossbowman leveled the crossbow, and his fingers rested on the crossbow machine, holding his breath. To deal with this kind of armored horse, even if it is a three-stone crossbow or a four-stone crossbow, it can't be too far, otherwise it is almost the same as tickling the opponent, and only within thirty steps can it be lethal.

Thirty paces means they only have one chance to shoot. If you shoot early, it's useless, if you shoot late, you may not even have a chance to launch, and you will be directly knocked into the air by the opponent. Faced with the armored horsemen and horses in heavy armor, everyone was full of fear. The speed of the armored cavalry is not very fast, but the impact power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary knights, with only manpower, the spearmen are very strong to pierce the spear into the chest of the war horse, they can only bury the spear in the earth, step on it with their feet, and wait for the war horse to take the initiative to collide. But if they were stabbed by the spears of the knights, they would surely die.

Life and death are only on the line.

The armored cavalry approached within thirty paces, and the crossbowmen began to shoot. As soon as the arrow left the string, the next moment it arrived in front of the armored horse, and shot on the breastplate of the war horse. Most of the arrows were blocked and bounced off, and only a few of them hit the front and pierced the breastplate, but they could not penetrate deep enough to inflict fatal damage on the horses.

At the same time, the armored horse suddenly raised his arms and threw dozens of short spears. The short spear, with the speed of the horse, flew twenty or thirty distances, and whistled like arrows from a great crossbow, piercing through the shield and piercing the body of the spearman, and with no loss of strength, he fell backwards with these soldiers.

Seventeen or eighteen sword-and-shield men and spearmen were shot down, and a gap of five or six paces wide appeared in the defensive formation in front. The knight clamped his spear, which was five feet long, tightly under his ribs, leaned forward, and stabbed it with all his might. The foot soldier was stabbed with a spear, hit by a war horse, and flew up screaming.

In the face of a strong war horse, the strength of the individual is insignificant. Fifty cavalry burst into the formation, and immediately spread out to the two wings, a group of ten horsemen, and killed the crossbowmen, although the spearmen turned around and tried to intercept, but they were blocked by the crossbowmen, and watched as the armored cavalry swept in front of them, leaving blood and screams all the way.

In just a few breaths, the Armored Cavalry tore through the frontal line of defense and quickly widened the gap.

Shen You received the news that the armor had been successful, and without hesitation, he sent two captains to attack. A thousand foot soldiers took the song as a unit, end to end, and rushed into the battle. In the face of these wolf-like Jiangdong soldiers, the foot soldiers who had been rushed by the armored cavalry had no power to resist at all, and they were cut down to the ground one after another, screaming one after another.

Shen You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was full of gratitude to Sun Ce. These fifty armor horses are simply invincible. If you don't have such a sharp weapon, how can you quickly break through the resistance of these foot soldiers?

Zhang Yun, hold on, I'm coming.
