Section 937 Fierce Battle (1)

It's almost a momentary effort.

In the distant queue of the Hun cavalry, a vast horn sounded.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Then, there was billowing smoke and dust, which was overwhelmingly raised.

Two hundred paces, for all cavalry, only a simple charge is needed, and it can be done.

The same was true of the Huns.

In less than ten seconds, the Hun cavalry in the first row had already rushed at high speed.

Although Wu Hengyi's servants laid countless traps in front of the battle, dug several horse trenches, and sowed a large number of various types of thistles that were specially restrained by cavalry.

But in fact, these means of defense could only delay the cavalry, but could not stop it.

Otherwise, if you encounter cavalry, can't you set up a turtle formation?

From Zhang Yue's point of view, most of the defense facilities did not even play a big role in this attack frenzy.

At most, it only caused the fall of more than ten cavalry and the loss of dozens of war horses.

Even before the war, the traps and cylinder nail traps, which had been pinned on high hopes, only slightly delayed the opponent's speed.

That's pretty good, though.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wuheng archers quickly bent their bows and arrows.

Start firing a salvo!

Whoosh!

The rain of arrows was covered in an instant, and the speed was affected by the trapping of horse trenches and horse rejection, and all kinds of thistles, and more than 100 Hun cavalry were forced to huddle together.

Almost completely covered these cavalry in a rain of arrows.

But......

In other directions, the horse's hooves had already crossed the trenches, and only a few unlucky ones had accidentally fallen into them.

But this was a good thing for the Huns.

Because the followers, who didn't care about the life and death of these comrades, directly stepped on them and their war horses and crossed the trench.

At this time, the Wuheng shooters had time to start the second salvo.

However, it was already too late.

The first group of Hun cavalry, over the trap trench, crashed into a corner at high speed.

"Hold on!" Hundreds of Wu Hengyi servants holding various shields immediately gathered together and pushed up to the wall.

At this time, it shows the purpose of setting up this wall in the first place.

The low walls, though not high, not thick, and not very strong.

But it's a clear obstacle.

For a creature like a horse, it seems that there are only two options for obstacles.

The first jumps over, the second stops.

Most horses and their owners will subconsciously choose the second one.

Only a very small number of outliers will try to make the leap.

Therefore, when this group of Hun cavalry rushed to the front of the wall, the horses involuntarily stopped their hooves.

The knights, on the other hand, saw only a hundred shields, and came over.

Then the shield-raising infantry suddenly let out a loud shout, and quietly opened the shield a little gap.

Dozens of halberds, spears, and spears pierced out from behind these shields.

More than a dozen Hun cavalrymen who did not react quickly enough were directly stabbed through.

However, the remaining Hun cavalry was worthy of being battle-hardened veterans, and they reacted directly.

I understood at the beginning, what should I do?

They directly grabbed the horse's belly, accelerated slightly, and then the whole person jumped up from the horse, and with the speed of the horse, directly into the wall.

At the same time, the war horse also crashed into the wall, knocking out a crack in the wall, and even collapsing it directly!

Fortunately, Wu Hengyi, who was holding a huge shield, resolutely stepped up.

The infantry that followed behind him, holding all kinds of long weapons, aimed at the enemy who jumped into the wall, but had no firm foothold, which was a stab.

This is also the only combat cooperation that these Wu Hengyi can grasp and know now.

But it works.

Almost just after the battle, relying on the superiority in numbers and the strength of weapons, most of the dozens of Hun cavalry who jumped into the wall were wiped out.

But......

The other Hun cavalry, however, had already climbed up, took their weapons, and killed them.

What's even worse is that another wave of cavalry has already rushed along the path of their vanguard, and behind these cavalry, there are three or four waves of cavalry, following closely behind, charging forward.

This is the most famous tactic of cavalry in the classical era - wave offensive.

Row after row of cavalry, like a wave, continuously attacked the enemy formation.

And the infantry of the defending side, no matter how perfect the formation is, no matter how sound the defense facilities are, no matter how elite the soldiers are, no matter how well-trained they are, and how sophisticated the weapons are.

As long as it is in the field, it will definitely be broken up by the impact of the cavalry and disrupt the organization.

Even, it was directly chiseled through the weak part, and then it was chiseled through the head to the back of the formation.

This is one of the greatest advantages of the cavalry class - it is flexible, high-speed, and can choose where and where to attack.

At this time, Zhang Yue had already returned to the arrow tower, climbed high and looked into the distance, and observed the overall situation of the entire battlefield.

From his point of view, the Hun cavalry, like a mudslide after a flash flood, swept across the entire defensive array.

Almost everywhere, there is an exchange of fire.

Before the array, the spears and halberds and spears and various bronze collars, short knives, and long swords equipped by the Hun cavalry resonated together.

After the array, Wu Hengyi's archers continued to form a projectile, attacking and controlling the Hun cavalry.

However, compared with the Huns, the Wuheng people are still too immature and too young.

Although they fought bravely and resolutely defended.

But......

From Zhang Yue's point of view, the shield soldiers and infantry in the front row couldn't hold out for too long.

Moreover, their casualties are probably not less than those of the attacking Huns.

There's no way around it.

The sniper position of the Wolf Plains, although it strangled the main passage of the Ministry of Guards to the south.

Moreover, because of the special geographical terrain, it can effectively prevent the two wings of the Hun cavalry from outflanking or stabbing chrysanthemums around the rear.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

In order to be able to block the southward passage of the Hun cavalry here, the entire defensive line position is a little long.

The frontal width of the battlefield is more than ten miles!

Such a long contact area means that Wu Hengyi's forces are actually diluted.

Although, Zhang Yue thought of many ways and used countless ideas.

However, at the beginning of the battle, the entire defensive position, like dough, was constantly squeezed, rolled and deformed by the Hun cavalry.

Countless weak points and fragile parts were immediately exposed.

Of course, the Huns would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately dispatched troops to attack these defensive weaknesses and weak parts.

This forced the first echelon of Wu Hengyi to grit their teeth and go up.

A quarter of an hour after the start of the battle.

The archers in the back row had to pick up their weapons and go up to the front row.

And without long-range firepower, the Hun cavalry became more and more rampant.

More and more unscrupulous.

In front of the battle line, it has become a hellish scene at the moment.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Xiongnu and Wuheng each had hundreds of corpses.

More wounded soldiers were rolling on the ground, wailing and screaming.

But no one cares about them.

The cavalry of the Huns, like a tide, continued to impact the defense line of Wuheng Yicong.

Up to now, the defense facilities on the front line, except for those cylinder nail traps, which can still play an occasional role, other defense facilities are basically ineffective.

The Hun cavalry, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and enemies, rushed forward against the crumbling line of the Wuhengyi followers.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue calmly raised his hand and ordered: "Second echelon, go up!" ”

"No!" Guo Rong immediately received the order, and then beat the war drum that was arranged under the arrow tower.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

The dense sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield.

The little slave of Zhushui, with his tribal soldiers and horses, all stood up.

Then, with a shield in hand and a weapon, he strode forward and joined the battlefield ahead.

The addition of this group of new forces immediately stabilized the already crumbling defense line, and drove the Hun cavalry out of the wall.

However, the Huns did not panic and immediately made adjustments.

Zhang Yue saw that in the Xiongnu formation in front, another group of cavalry joined the battlefield.

The cavalry, which was originally responsible for the attack, gradually retreated after these cavalry arrived on the battlefield and pushed into its formation for repair.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue's eyelids jumped a little.

This is the advantage of cavalry!

I can rest, you can't!

If the fight continues like this, Zhang Yue feels that Wu Hengyi's servants may not last long.

Even if he used a long-range shot that was almost open, he boosted morale.

But......

The morale of the era of cold weapons belongs to the morale of Schrödinger.

Soldiers' moods, feelings, and subtle changes in the battle situation can lead to a rise or fall in morale.

So......

"I have to learn to hide it......" Zhang Yue sighed, and ordered loudly: "Order all departments, hold on for another hour, and the Huns will definitely withdraw their troops!" ”

As for an hour later, in case the Huns do not withdraw?

Then we can only talk about it then!

Let's hold on to this hour first!

Besides, do the people of Wuheng have the concept of time?

……………………

Brutal battles, like a meat grinder.

continued to shatter the lives of the young people of the Xiongnu and Wuheng.

When the sun rises to noon, the scorching sun scorchs the surface of the earth.

The Hun cavalry had to retreat when they could.

Wu Hengyi's servants are also exhausted.

In front of the battle line, the corpses of the Huns and the Wuheng people, as well as the corpses of the war horses, were piled up together, intertwined into a Shura field.

Zhang Yue led people and walked in it, looking at this battlefield full of corpses, and fell into silence.

In the past more than an hour, Wu Hengyi fought fiercely with at least 3,000 Hun cavalry from more than 6,000 people.

At least 1,000 of Wu Hengyi's followers were killed in battle, and more than 2,000 were wounded, of which at least 300 were incapacitated.

And the results they achieved were no more than 700 Hun cavalry.

The battle damage exchange ratio is shocking!

Zhang Yue's eyes swept over the Wuheng people who were resting and eating behind the battle line.

He knew that this cruel war had almost worn out the fighting will and determination of most of the Wuheng people.

He even saw a lot of people, eating and crying.

The moans and wails of the wounded especially irritated the nerves and wills of these fragile herders.

To tell the truth, it's a miracle that they can still hold on to the front and hold on until now.

Zhang Yue even felt that if it weren't for the existence of the supervising team, plus Zhang Yue personally led a heavy cavalry of the captain of Changshui, he would be in the rear.

I'm afraid that these Wu Hengyi will collapse on the spot, and then flee on the whole line, which is very likely to happen.

After all, most of them, before this war, probably did not even know what war was.

After witnessing the cruelty and horror of war, it is impossible not to have psychological problems.

"Sure enough......" Zhang Yue looked at the faces of those Wu Hengyi servants who were on the verge of collapse psychologically and spiritually after withdrawing, and had to sigh: "Admiral Tiance's tactics are not something that ordinary people can afford!" ”

It's like an aircraft carrier, a fourth-generation aircraft.

Only countries that are superpowers, and have strong industrial manufacturing and system integration capabilities, are qualified to include them in their own list and manufacture them.

This wall-destroying tactic also needs a premise.

That is to have an infantry that is strong-willed, well-trained, brave in battle, determined and not afraid of sacrifice and difficulties.

And armed them to the teeth, armed with Mo knives, longbows, heavy armor.

and equip them with cavalry that has always been equally strong, strong, and brave.

Otherwise, it will be Dong Shi's imitation, just like these Wu Hengyi servants now.

I almost didn't cry and shout, I was going home to find my mother.

Fortunately, the enemy that Zhang Yue had to face was not the Turkic, Tubo, Xue Yantuo, and Tuyuhun cavalry that the Tang army needed to face.

He faced a classic, pre-Western Hun cavalry.

So, there's still a chance.

But the premise is - Wu Hengyi's servants, one more day!

Exhaust the energy and horsepower of the Ministry of Defense!

Because, Zhang Yue now at least, there is a heavy cavalry that can destroy the withering and decaying!
