Chapter 15 The two armies face each other, and the small soldiers are ready to attack
The soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield heard the sound of the horn, and they all quickly evacuated from their places and quickly returned to the queue.
In this process, the previously inaudible sound of horses' hooves has sounded like thunder, and the whole gourd belly is trembling.
Its momentum is by no means comparable to that of the previous hundreds of cavalry.
Before the Hun cavalry appeared at the bend of the mountain pass post road in front of them, Li Guang had already issued a combat order.
When the flag waved, the heralds were already running back and forth on both sides of the queue, and the assembled Han army team immediately began to move neatly and quickly, and the line of troops immediately dispersed and began to form a semicircle. The chariot was in front, the chariot was in the front, the light infantry was in the middle, the heavy infantry followed the light infantry, and the cavalry, divided into two parts, moved behind the semicircular side. A standard defensive coordinated battle formation was finally formed before the Hun cavalry arrived.
With the shaking of the earth and the deafening sound of horses' hooves, the figure of the Hun cavalry finally appeared from the bend of the mountain pass post road.
"Whew~~"
"Whew~~"
"Whew~~"
“……”
The Hun cavalry will never forget to howl desperately when they charge, and it is undeniable that this does increase their own momentum and deter the enemy, especially when the number of this group of Hun cavalry has exceeded four thousand. Take a look, the Hun cavalry rushing out of the bend of the post road continues to gush out, these men who grew up in the harsh environment of the north since childhood, it is in response to the saying that "the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people", every Hun cavalry exudes an unruly and fierce atmosphere, and the cavalry troops who can't see the end for a while, gushing out from the mountain pass, are definitely visually stunning.
The hearts of the Han soldiers who formed a formation three hundred zhang away from the mountain pass shook violently with the sound of the hooves of the Hun cavalry. It's not that they don't want to block the mountain pass, but in the situation just now, they don't have time to do so, and at this time, in the Han army's big formation, there are still some soldiers running in place.
The chariot soldiers at the forefront of the Han army's large array, desperately controlling their heartbeat and breathing, in the face of the flood-like Hun cavalry, it is unrealistic to say that they are not nervous. The hands that clenched the reins and weapons were already covered with sweat. In the past, they were more galloping on the training ground, and the Han Dynasty's previous policy towards Hungary made most of the soldiers in it have no chance to go to the battlefield to really face death.
Now, here's your chance.
But God knows, it's not a good opportunity. Because the number of cavalry on the other side exceeded 4,000, and they came with the mentality of avenging the previous hundreds of Hun cavalry, all of this was calculated by them.
staring at the Hun cavalry, they seemed to feel that the hooves of those Hun cavalry were not stepping on the ground, but on their hearts!
Behind these chariots were a thousand light infantry (archers) who had already stuck their arrows in the ground and were ready to attack, and although the bodies of many of them could not help but tremble slightly, the usual strict training did not make them forget what they had to do.
Finally, the Hun cavalry marched to a position one hundred and fifty zhang away from the chariot soldiers under the drive of smoke and dust.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The light infantry lieutenant and the chariot lieutenant resolutely drew their swords at the same time and pointed them straight at the sky.
A thousand archers drew their bows and arrows, and pointed their iron arrows at the sky above the Hun cavalry.
The sun shines brightly on the sweat on their faces.
"Sonorous, sonorous, sonorous......, sonorous
The Hun cavalry finally marched to a distance of only a hundred zhang from them.
"Put!"
The captain gave an order, and the long knife in his hand was drawn forward.
"Bang bang ......"
The arrows left the string, a thousand iron arrows rushed into the sky at once, the air seemed to be torn apart at once, and this thousand death-seeking gods rushed into the Hun cavalry formation!
"Rush!"
Almost at the same time as the light infantry captain gave the order, the captain of the car army also drew the long knife in his hand forward!
"Drive! Drive! Drive! ……”
The charioteer who controlled the reins slapped the reins on the back of the war horse fiercely, causing the war horse to neigh at the same time, and the chariot also rushed out!
In front of the chariot soldiers, the Hun cavalry who rushed to the front turned over on their backs! That's the effect of the archer's first volley.
"Kill ......"
Seeing this scene, the spirits of the chariot soldiers were invigorated, and they roared again and again, and rushed to the Hun cavalry formation without fear of death! And the soldiers with halberds on the chariot clenched the weapons in their hands one by one, and put on the killing posture that they were already familiar with!
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar ......"
After the chariot rushed out, the heavy infantry walked quickly through the gap in the queue of the light infantry, and stood at the front, and the vertical shield and horizontal halberd, a sharp halberd, stretched out from the shield, like a long thorn on the hedgehog's body, pointing at the Hun cavalry!
Qin Cheng was in the camp of the heavy infantry at this time, holding a halberd in his hand, with a serious face, because his vision was blocked by the tall shield, he couldn't see the battle situation in front of him, but at this time, like every heavy infantry, Qin Cheng suppressed his breath and listened attentively.
The unique sound of horses' hooves, shouting and killing, screaming, neighing, and shaking on the battlefield penetrated into Qincheng's ears one by one.
"Put!"
The order of the captain of the light infantry sounded behind him again.
Another round of volleys, there is no doubt that after a breath, in the Hun cavalry formation, there should be another group of people on their backs!
On the battlefield in front of the heavy infantry, the sound suddenly became chaotic, and you didn't need to see Qin Cheng to know that it was the chariot soldiers who had already fought with the Hun cavalry!
And at this time, the light infantry can no longer fire volleys, which can easily hurt their own people. Of course, their task is far from complete.
"Da Liang, what now?" Qin Cheng asked Wu Daliang beside him, no way, he didn't know anything now, but he didn't want to be overwhelmed for a while, so he asked Wu Daliang to teach himself. It's time to catch up.
"Wait!" Wu Daliang shouted, the sound on the battlefield in front was too loud, and his voice was so low that Qin Cheng couldn't hear it.
"And then?" Qin Cheng asked loudly.
"Kill!" Wu Daliang's answer was unusually concise and to the point.
"I'm grass!" Qin Cheng couldn't wait to give Wu Daliang a kick, and he couldn't help but habitually scold casually under the anxiety and speechlessness, "Can you be specific?" ”
"Use the halberd and knife in your hand to kill the enemy!" Wu Daliang said loudly.
"Fuck you!" Qin Cheng is really angry now, this is a real ancient battlefield! The degree of danger is not comparable to the previous street fights, and the other party is still a cavalry, and he is just an infantryman, it is at this time that this veteran with a belly of goods actually played a word puzzle with himself, "Wu Daliang, when this battle is over, Lao Tzu will go back and skin you!" ”
"What do you say? I can't hear you! After Wu Daliang threw down this sentence, he suddenly said: "Here, prepare!" ”
As soon as Wu Daliang finished speaking, Qin Cheng felt an iron arrow fly in close to his ear, and the frightened Qin Cheng looked back and saw that a soldier behind him had an iron arrow stuck in his head, his eyes bulging out, and his body had fallen.
Unable to help but gasp, Qin Cheng lowered his body a little lower.
Qin Cheng could naturally think that this was the Hun cavalry that had rushed through the chariot battle array, and began to shoot arrows at them outside the heavy infantry array!
On the real battlefield, there will naturally be no cavalry who are not afraid of death and directly drive their horses to rush on the shield wall of the heavy infantry covered with halberds, which is no different from sending them to death! When they had nothing else to do, the Hun cavalry would run around the shield wall and shoot arrows inside until they were dead.
As for which one is dead, it depends on the situation.
And now, the archers behind the Han heavy infantry can no longer fire volleys, because there are chariots outside the formation.
But this does not mean that the Han army will be tied.
"Heavy infantry, advance!"
The heavy infantry captain finally drew his long knife and gave a decisive order.
Hearing this order, Qin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Either way, it's better than staying in the cat and waiting where it is.
At this time, the archers, who were originally half-kneeling, also under the order of the captain of the light infantry, stood up, aimed at the Hun cavalry outside the shield wall, and began to shoot at them!
Arrows came and went, the Hun cavalry kept people falling off their horses, and no one fell in the Han infantry battle array! As blood blooms, so does life.
It's just that there were not many Hun cavalry outside the heavy infantry shield wall at this time, because the biggest purpose of the chariot attack was to restrict, hinder and delay the movement of the Hun cavalry.
Of course, after the first wave of soldiers rushed over was shot and killed, the second and third waves of Hun cavalry rushed through the chariot battle array.
"Keep going!"
The heavy infantry captain continued to order, and as a result, the entire Han army formation was like a machine advancing at a uniform speed, advancing under the strong advance of the shield!
And the iron arrows in the hands of the archers, like machine-gun bullets, were fired continuously at the Hun cavalry who constantly appeared outside the shield wall.
Both sides have injuries.
However, there were as many as 1,000 archers in the Han army's array, and the Hun cavalry that rushed over could not reach hundreds under the condition of continuous losses and replenishment, so these Hun cavalry could only be consumed little by little under the shooting of the Han army's professional archers.
Even so, the losses of the archers of the Han army should not be underestimated.
While Qin Cheng followed the heavy infantry in front of him, he observed the battle between the two sides inside and outside the shield wall, in addition to understanding the battlefield situation, more importantly, in order to avoid arrows.
But fortunately, Qin Cheng was not only beaten, as the heavy infantry advanced, occasionally there were a few Hun cavalry who could not retreat in time or were unwilling to retreat or even rushed to the shield with red eyes, and were killed by him and his companions.
I don't know how long it has been advancing, in this battle, Qin Cheng's concept of time has been completely disrupted, in short, the first few steps in front of them is the first scrapped chariot, and at this time, the performance of the heavy infantry has finally arrived!
"Collect the shield!"
"Attack!"
With the order of the captain of the heavy infantry, the shield wall that had completed the mission was retracted, and the heavy infantry with halberds in their hands rushed out of the shield wall!
