Eight hundred and twenty-six poor people do not chase
"Stabilize the appearance of the army, don't panic!" Yu Ban simply bandaged the wound and commanded with the wound, and the surrounding Cao soldiers stabilized their minds.
"Swing the gun! Stab them to death for me! ”
With Yu Ban's order, countless pikemen came to the forefront of the front with special spears that were the thickness of a bowl and more than a zhang long.
In a few breaths, these three or four sergeants could raise their spears and densely cover the Cao army's line, looking like hedgehogs from a distance.
This is the most effective defensive strategy against cavalry assaults, and the cavalry's greatest reliance is on the impact generated by high-speed impacts, through which the cavalry's carbine pistols will easily pierce the enemy.
But in the face of this kind of horse-repelling spear, the cavalry's impact on victory has become its own amulet, because when using the repulsion rifle, the soldier usually pestles the end of the spear on the ground, and then several people hold it up, and the spear pierces the front at one end, and the cavalry coming at high speed will be pierced by the rejecting rifle due to habit.
Yu Ban seems to have been prepared for the cavalry.
It's just that, is it true that the famous Bingzhou cavalry is really powerless to return to the sky?
The Bingzhou cavalry, which was already advancing at high speed, did not slow down, and was still rapidly approaching the defense line of the Cao army.
If you look closely at the faces of these knights, you will see that they do not show the slightest timidity, and some even have a sneering smile on their faces.
Yu Ban's idea was based on the premise of a frontal charge from the cavalry.
Now, will the cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao stupidly charge the pikemen army that has already lined up?
Things do not turn out the way you want!
Less than a hundred paces away from their own formation, the hundreds of cavalry under pressure suddenly turned their horses and turned parallel to Cao's defensive line.
What is this for?
Cao Jun couldn't guess the other party's intentions for a while.
The Cao army, who was waiting for the state army to collide with them, all showed a look of surprise, and in their confused little eyes, these cavalrymen took out a crossbow behind their backs, and the arrows that flashed with cold light were aimed at them in unison.
What happened next was simple and bloody, and countless crossbow arrows flew towards Cao's line like locusts.
For a while, in front of Cao Jun's front, countless blood flowers splashed, countless soldiers were shot through their bodies by crossbow arrows, and the originally dense horse-rejecting spear array became chaotic.
And the originally dense spear array became like the hair on the top of a bald man, and there were only a few left, which did not pose any crisis to the wolf riders in Bingzhou.
Another one-sided massacre, the second time such a scene has been staged.
This is the cruelty of cold weapons.
In the competition of strength, with the advantage of war horses, cavalry became a nightmare for infantry.
Yu Ban held his head in his hands and roared in the sky, like a wounded beast, and had no choice but to mobilize the army and prepare to break through.
At this time, the generals under Lu Bu's command, each leading the army, followed behind Cao Jun's ass and chased and beat like chopping melons and vegetables, and the enemy troops who surrendered and killed were called more than one.
At this time, there was no longer an organized Cao army in front of them, and they were all scattered stragglers.
Seeing that his victory was in sight, Lu Bu rode his horse to the side of Chen Gong.
"Gongtai, just come to a thorough one, I will lead the main force to press up, and eat Cao Apu in one fell swoop, let's fight a decisive battle!"
The advantage of the battle situation made Lu Bu also a little inflated, and even wanted to eat all of Cao Jun.
"Don't be careless, my lord, we are still eating steadily, and Cao Cao will abandon the place of subordination." Chen Gong shook his head and persuaded.
In his opinion, Cao Cao today is not the defeat of the whole army, but the retreat, which can be explained by the fact that in the process of the attack of the Bingzhou army, it can be continuously blocked in an organized manner.
He was right.
Soon, Hou Chengcheng verified this with practical actions.
Just when a wolf rider led by Hou Cheng took advantage of the situation to pursue and relaxed his vigilance and was about to pass out of the dense forest to one side, he was attacked head-on.
I couldn't tell what direction it was, and hundreds of carved arrows were like eyes, and they accurately nailed into the body of the Bingzhou army.
Before they could react, another round of attacks followed, again with no missed shots.
"Dodge the arrows! Dodge arrows! Hou Cheng exclaimed.
The cavalry is highly skilled, and the knights are also quite strong, when fighting, they often choose to attack with indomitable attack, so that they are only equipped with the most suitable for attacking, and the protective equipment for defense is only protective cloth armor, shields and the like.
It's just that the length of this weapon is much longer than that of ordinary spears, and it is more than one zhang, which is conducive to rushing and stabbing, but it is a bit powerless to use it to dial the carved arrows.
The horsemen were frightened, and where did they still have the courage to stand there, they turned their horses' heads one after another, and they wanted to withdraw.
But it was easy to come, but it was difficult to run, and just as they were able to turn their horses' heads around, a piercing sound sounded from above the dense forest, and then countless arrows flew out abruptly, and came at them as hoods.
The state army, which was still trying to turn the horse's head, became overturned for a while.
Sharp arrows easily pierced their armor and sliced their flesh and muscles, and countless soldiers fell from their horses, driven by fear, the ownerless horses scurried like headless flies, making the formation of the state army even more confused.
Hundreds of knights from the state have already been nailed with arrows, tumbled off their horses, and it is obvious that they will not survive if they remain motionless.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao arrived with people at this time, he is a battle-hardened general, and he knows that when facing the enemy, calmness is the most important thing.
"Ride on the side of the horse, counterbow arrows!" Zhang Liao snorted.
The cavalry behind him turned their horses' heads one after another, and suddenly changed the direction of their advance, from the original direct rush to the enemy's formation, to the sideways.
At this time, the superb riding skills of the Bingzhou cavalry were also revealed, and they all hung their bodies on the side of their horses.
From Cao Jun's line of sight, it was as if more than a thousand ownerless war horses were passing by, and the archers who were originally excited to shoot the arrows in their hands were stunned, and they were all stunned by the sight of thousands of horses galloping in front of them.
It was this moment of stunned wonder that made them miss the fighter plane that completely annihilated the Xuzhou cavalry, and also gave Hou Cheng a glimmer of life.
The cavalrymen who were hiding on the side of their mounts were not idle, and they held their crossbows in their hands as they hid their bodies.
Just when Cao Jun was stunned and the arrow rain stopped for a while, everyone dodged, aimed, pulled the trigger, and became invisible, all in one go.
The comparison of crossbows and bows, from the moment they appeared and began, is the crossbow stronger, or the bow is superior?
There are different opinions and no conclusion is reached, but the range of the crossbow is much stronger than that of the bow is recognized by everyone, and Zhang Liao took advantage of this, taking advantage of Cao Jun's only momentary distraction to take counter-suppression.
Hou Cheng can be regarded as a battle-hardened battle, and the cavalry under his command is also experienced in a hundred battles, after the initial panic, coupled with Zhang Liao's cover, everyone turned over and took out crossbows to counterattack.
The situation of the battle was temporarily reversed, but Hou Cheng knew that the situation was still extremely unfavorable to him, and the longer it went, the more dangerous he was.
Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Zhang Liao's desperate creation, Hou Chengyi waved his hand, "Go!" He led the remnants of his men to flee the battlefield.
Seeing that Hou Cheng successfully broke away from the battlefield, Zhang Liao also urgently ordered his subordinates to leave the battlefield.
Because every second, it is the soldiers who fight for it at the cost of their lives.
