Chapter 468: Brutal Battlefield
Xie Chen and Huyan Lannuo each led 35,000 troops to meet the 50,000 troops of the Xiongnu, although the number was smaller than the other party, but the cavalry of the Mo army did not lack battle, and even the new recruits were highly motivated.
Xie Chen rushed first, and the Hun cavalry took the lead in launching the first round of attacks before they could make contact.
The Hun cavalry directly on the horse on the oncoming Mo cavalry continued to shoot the arrow feathers in their hands, although the arrow feathers are not dense, and the Mo army still has a strong armor defense, but it is still impossible to avoid some soldiers being shot at the vital point, falling off their horses.
Xie Chen saw that there were soldiers who were constantly shot by arrow feathers, and he gritted his teeth angrily, and then took out two short guns from his back, bit the war knife in his mouth, and held the short gun in his hand until the two sides were only thirty meters away, Xie Chen did not hesitate to throw the short gun in his hand.
With a swish of a short gun, it flew towards an oncoming Hun cavalryman.
As soon as Xie Chen's short spear flew out, there was a swishing sound in Xie Chen's ears, and the Mo cavalry who had rushed to the front also took out their short spears and threw them at the Hun cavalry opposite.
The cavalry of the Mo army who rushed to the front were the elite veterans of the Mo army, they knew when and what weapons to use against the enemy without orders, and the new recruits were behind the veterans.
"Whoosh"
Countless sounds of breaking the air sounded, and although the oncoming Hun cavalry saw a short spear flying towards them, they were surrounded by companions, and in front of them were short spears, so they couldn't dodge at all, so they could only watch the short spears? into his own body, then he was carried upside down by the momentum, knocking down several of his companions in the face, and finally being trampled into flesh by his companion's war horse.
The Hun cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and the front army was in a mess.
Xie Chen projected all the three short spears he carried, and then grabbed the war knife and rushed into the Hun cavalry first, holding the war knife in his hand, constantly slashing, and one by one the Hun cavalry was cut off by him.
"Boom"
The cavalry of the Mo army followed closely and rushed into the Xiongnu army, and immediately blood splattered everywhere and the head flowed.
In close combat, the two sides were close to each other, and the equestrian skills of the Hun cavalry were also useless at this time, and the two sides could only rely on strong physique, sharp weapons, and hard armor, which was undoubtedly the advantage of the Mo army.
The bronze scimitars of the Huns, the leather armor is not as good as their arrow feathers, because the cavalry charge and the rapid fire of the arrow feathers can penetrate the armor of the Mo soldiers, and the sharp blades of the Mo army can easily pierce the leather armor of the Huns.
Although the number of Hun cavalry was large, they could not take advantage of the veterans who were strong in armor and had experienced a hundred battles, but they were killed by the veterans of the Mo army and turned on their backs.
However, the performance of the recruits of the Mo army is a little unsatisfactory, the first battle is to face such a big scene, even if they are not afraid of death, but in the face of the situation of the Huns two to one, they can only deal with it hard, but I believe that after this battle, they will be able to be reborn and become an elite cavalry.
With Xie Chen's other battlefield, the battlefield where Huyan Lannuo is located is also about the same, even more than Xie Chen's department kills more enemies, and it is more tragic, because Huyan Lannuo itself is a Hun, and her Hun cavalry is the majority, the most important thing is that Huyan Lannuo killed two Hun generals in a row, these Hun cavalry hate Huyan Lannuo even more, but Huyan Lannuo is also because of the other party's fierce generals, her morale is also the strongest, and the battle is even more desperate, if Xie Chen is a slaughterhouse, then Huyan Lannuo's side will be hell, Even if some of the Mo cavalrymen were knocked off their horses by the opponent, they would grab the enemy and pull them down together.
The two wings were in a scuffle, but the front army of the Mo army was not good, at first the Hun cavalry suppressed by the crossbowmen could not get close, but the Hun cavalry suddenly seemed to be dead, holding a simple wooden shield and rattan shield to frantically attack the front army of the Mo army.
The most important thing is that there are few arrow magazines left for the crossbowmen, and although the Hun cavalry suffered heavy casualties, they saw that the strange weapons of the Mo army were getting weaker and weaker, and their morale suddenly soared.
The battlefield began to fight during the day, the battlefield has been stained red with blood, and the sky has gradually darkened, but even so, both sides have no intention of stopping, in fact, they can't stop now, the cavalry of the two armies is still fighting together, and if they want to withdraw, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky, not to mention that the Huns have now gradually grasped the initiative, how can they withdraw the army, and the silent army, they can't retreat, and now it's not a situation where you die or I die.
After such a fierce battle, the crossbow arrows of the Mo army were also depleted, and the front army of 100,000 Hun cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and there were less than 10,000 people left in the 100,000 army, but it was the last 10,000 people, but they rushed to the front of the Mo army.
The fat tiger had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and when he saw the Hun cavalry rushing over, the fat tiger Yang Tian roared angrily.
"Brothers, shoot out."
After the fat tiger finished speaking, he took out three short spears from his back and threw them at the Hun cavalry.
"Flying Gun Out~"
The soldiers of the Fat Tiger also roared one by one, took off their short guns, and threw them at the oncoming Hun cavalry.
Seeing that it was so good, how could the Xiongnu give up the opportunity, and immediately sent another 100,000 troops to attack the front army of the Mo army.
The remaining 10,000 Hun cavalry saw that the dense arrow array of the Mo army was gone, and they rushed towards the front army of the Mo army excitedly, but they did not expect a burst of short guns to fly out of the Mo army's position, and they were shot by short guns for a while, and they howled again and again.
After the three arrow feathers, the fat tiger rushed towards the rioting Hun cavalry with a giant axe in one hand, opened his bloody mouth and roared: "Brothers, kill~"
"Kill~"
The fat tiger department is holding a giant shield, roaring and rushing to the oncoming Hun cavalry, each of them is a giant man with a giant axe or a big knife, a knife up to cut the Hun cavalry, down to cut the horse's legs, in their cooperation, fierce counterattack killing, 10,000 Hun cavalry became their sword soul.
When the fat tiger had finished killing the last cavalryman, before he could cheer, he saw a large number of Hun cavalry rushing over.
The fat tiger spat at the foam, scolded and said: "Damn rabbit cub, the fat master fought with you today, brother, form a defense, even if you die, you can't let the enemy break through our military formation." ”
"Yes~"
One by one, the big men of the silent army stuck their shields on the ground and used their bodies to resist the shields to form a shield wall.
The fat tiger held a double axe, looking at the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer, he no longer had the idea of survival, he only thought about killing more enemies and reducing the pressure on the army.
Just when the Hun cavalry was only thirty meters away from the fat tiger, and the fat tiger was waiting for the battle, suddenly the sound of swishing breaking the air came, and the fat tiger looked up, only to see a short spear actually flying over his head, straight into the Hun army formation, and the Hun cavalry suddenly turned over on his back again.
The fat tiger turned his head to look, and saw a large man holding a heavy shield, a big knife, and a bare chest and back running quickly, and it could be seen from their movements that those short guns just now were thrown by these big guys.
Fat Tiger breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was still a little anxious: "Xiong Da, Second Brother Xiong, aren't you staying by the general's side, why did you come out?" Leave it to me here. ”
Xiong Da scratched his head and said, "The general called us here." ”
Xiong Er immediately added: "Brother Fat Tiger, don't worry so much now, it's important to kill the enemy first, maybe the general will go into battle in person later." ”
"Well, well, good brother, if I don't die this time, I'll go back and invite you to drink." Fat Tiger patted Xiong Da and Xiong Er's shoulders.
"Okay, that's it." Xiong Er smiled and nodded.
At this moment, a Hun cavalry crossed the shield wall and appeared beside Xiong Er, and the cavalry on the horse raised the scimitar in his hand and slashed directly at Xiong Er's head.
"Xiong Er, be careful." The fat tiger was taken aback by the sudden change, and when he reminded Xiong Er, the giant axe in his hand slashed directly at the Hun cavalry who suddenly appeared.
Xiong Er also found this Hun cavalryman, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a heavy shield thickened by the army slapped towards the Hun cavalryman.
