Chapter 601: The Power of Heavy Cavalry
Whether it was the wild shooting of the bows and crossbows on the two wings of the army, or the confusion of the Xuanxiang Array, as well as the sniping of the Glaive Array and the trapping of the Fangyuan Array, it was completely useless in the face of the white horse righteous servants who were like steel giants.
Gongsun Zan was entangled, and Yan Gang naturally became the supreme leader of Baima Yicong. Although he couldn't understand the arrangement of the trial, the complex formation and the vacant path within the shield wall all made Yan Gang vigilant.
There is definitely a trap for the other party to do this, this is terrifying!
Yan Gang, who was cautious by nature, immediately raised this thought, and then immediately made up his mind. In line with the idea of never following the other party's arrangement, we must win by surprise and surprise the enemy. Yan Gang found another way, decisively gave up the idea of rushing into the path prepared by the other party, and directly led the army to charge straight regardless of it.
Shield wall? Crossbow array? Gun forest? What is that in front of the white horse who is fully equipped for heavy riding? Except for the desperate attack of the Euphorbia and the chariot White Horse Yicong who also needs to be afraid of one or two, the others are floating clouds.
Yan Gang led Bai Ma Yi to rush to the shield wall looming under the shroud of the outer Xuanxiang Array, and the more than 10,000 Youzhou Iron Horsemen who followed him naturally followed.
"Boom!"
A huge roar sounded like a giant hammer striking a bronze bell, accompanied by the shattering of the giant shield in the hands of countless Yuan Shaojun's shield soldiers and the flying of soldiers in the air. The fastest speed represented by Bai Ma Yicong, combined with the sturdy general heavy armor, made them directly turn into invulnerable tanks, easily smashed the shield wall formed by Yuan Shaojun, and continued to charge away without abating.
Gao Ran ordered the army to constantly change formations, hoping to introduce Bai Ma Yi Cong into his arranged path like other Youzhou Iron Cavalry. But in front of Bai Ma Yicong, all this was in vain, Yan Gang seemed to have an iron heart, and the direction did not change at all. Even if the shield soldiers of the other side in front of him left a road that was only slightly inclined, Yan Gang did not change the direction at all, and he was unwilling to change even a slight angle, and directly led the army to crash into the shield wall without hesitation.
"Don't worry about anything else, let me rush forward! There must be no retreat and dodge! Yan Gang took the lead and rushed forward with a spear in his hand, constantly shouting angrily in his mouth.
The judge located in the center of the Chinese army saw this discordant scene in the overall harmonious military formation, and a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes. No matter how he guessed, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so generous, and even the strategic equipment such as horse armor and heavy armor were given to Gongsun Zhan, and now Bai Ma Yicong, who is wearing heavy armor, has even made up for the only defects, and he is simply invulnerable.
The dead formation he had laid was invulnerable to the cavalry's brainless frontal charge, but there was such an accident that he couldn't deal with it at all. Although this death array is hugely powerful, on the other hand, the change of formation is also difficult and abnormal, even if it is difficult to judge now.
And the more than 2,000 white horse Yicong and the Youzhou iron cavalry behind him are not the most difficult to judge, the most difficult thing for him to deal with is that with the brainless messing of the white horse Yicong, there are many flaws in the operation of Gao Lan's military formation, not to mention, countless Youzhou iron horsemen also painted a scoop according to the gourd after noticing that something was wrong, and constantly swarmed in the direction of the white horse Yicong. It was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and gradually all converged near the White Horse Yicong.
The white horse Yicong led by Yan Gang was like a bright light, and countless Youzhou iron horsemen trapped in the formation followed that touch of white.
This is why Gongsun Chan likes white horses and forms white horse righteousness. White is so dazzling and eye-catching among the gray-black war horses and armies. While it is easy to attract the opponent's attack, it also attracts the attention of its own side, and when it is isolated and helpless, when it sees the cleaving waves and dazzling white, it will naturally approach it and move with it.
The white horse is the banner of the spirit of the iron horse of the state, as long as the white horse is never extinguished, the iron horse of the state will not panic.
"Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand! The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! ”
Yan Gang and Bai Ma Yicong shouted loudly.
The solemn and bloody shout seemed to drown out the shouts of killing that resounded throughout the battlefield, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth. Countless Youzhou Iron Cavalry who were in trouble were shocked and their morale soared when they heard the sound, and they roared and slashed the enemy army and rushed in the direction of the sound. However, the Wuhuan cavalry and the Southern Hun cavalry on the two wings trembled in their hearts when they heard this, and the fear that seemed to be engraved in their souls instantly made them tremble.
But in an instant, they suppressed the fear in their hearts, and turned into enthusiasm and excitement. The nightmare of the past is now their commander! The little Jiujiu that had existed in the hearts of the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan also dissipated at this time. As long as the white light is not extinguished, as long as this earth-shattering shout does not die, they will not dare to betray it no matter what.
"Kill!"
After hearing the sound, Wuhuan and the Southern Hun Iron Cavalry, who had been paddling, roared and followed the Youzhou Iron Cavalry to charge and fight. The situation on the entire battlefield seemed to have been changed by this oath to the sky, and the square circle array set up by the Chinese army where Gao Ran was located was scattered in an instant.
"Steady! Hold on! ”
Gao Ran kept ordering the flag bearer to wave the flag and command in the Chinese army, and shouted loudly while carrying his inner breath.
Seeing the changes in the situation around him, the judge had a look of shock in his eyes. It's just a slogan, and the entire Youzhou army seems to have changed, and the military formation that is as stable as Mount Tai seems to be broken in an instant.
"Due South!"
Yuan Shao's eyes looked at the trial like electricity.
The judge took a deep breath, looked at Yuan Shao, and said in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty is willing to gamble?" ”
"How to bet?" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
"If such a stalemate continues, it will not be difficult to win, but I am afraid that if our army wins, I am afraid that it will also lose most of it. In order to win a big victory, the ministers wanted to use His Majesty as bait, set up an ambush on ten sides, and lured Bai Ma Yi from the bait. I wonder if Your Majesty wishes? The tone of the judge was full of solemnity.
He had to admit that he had underestimated the enemy. He had to arrange it all for Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry this time, even if Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry was more fierce, he was also confident that he could earn it into Gao Ran's arrangement and wipe it out. No matter how elite the White Horse is, it is impossible to change the overall situation under the rotation of countless strong crossbows, shield soldiers, spearmen, hook and sickle soldiers.
He thought that he had calculated everything, and even raised Bai Ma Yicong's strength to his peak, and set the number of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry at 20,000 or 30,000, and finally came to the conclusion that he could take it down with less than 70,000 or 80,000 damage.
After all, although the former White Horse Yicong can be called the world's first light horse, but what he is good at is running and riding and shooting, and when it comes to charging into battle, I am afraid that the tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao can also compete with one of them.
No matter how strong his strength is, he still can't change the essence of his light cavalry, and he is restrained by strong crossbows and shield soldiers, which is why Yuan Shao has always been very jealous and disdainful of Gongsun Zhan.
Light cavalry was supposed to be used to use the advantage of mobility and cavalry archery to carry out guerrilla attacks, and charging was not its advantage. In the face of the charge of the light cavalry, the defensive formation, coupled with strong crossbows and shield soldiers, is enough to make it understand what it means to be stable.
But the heavy cavalry is different, it is the nemesis of all defensive formations. No matter what arrangement you have, just hit it. A normal bow and crossbow cannot pierce the armor of the heavy rider at all, unless it concentrates on a weak point that is not protected by the armor. But the reflexes of the white horse are almost negligible. And the shield soldiers... Even the white horse, which is heavily armored with people and horses and is known for its speed, collided with it, and it was gone. The only thing that can still be of some use is the spearmen and hook and sickle soldiers, but they don't have much effect in the face of nimble white horse followers.
Heavy cavalry, in addition to the high cost, has high requirements for the terrain, and basically has no nemesis and no one can stop it when fighting head-on. Of course, the light cavalry relied on speed to hang and fight, and there was no way to fight and consume.
Although it was only more than 2,000 heavy horses, it was uncontrollable on this battlefield, and all the arrangements before the trial were in vain. This is the king of the battlefield, the heavy cavalry!
