Chapter 232: The First Battle of Tongguan (3)
Two groups of men and horses clashed, soldiers collided, and the dust and sand of the plains in April flew away, and bright red gushed out from time to time. The shield blocked the edge of the sword, providing an opportunity for the black-armored sergeant behind the shield to attack, and the big knife slashed out from the left and right of the shield, and the Hu people who were close to the shield were instantly attacked by thunder.
The shield soldiers in the front row charged forward, resisted the enemy, and then stopped the shield to block, all sweating with shields on their shoulders, and the impact from the shields was quite large, and they stepped on the wasteland and scraped the mud forward, and the crisp sound of Dangdang angrily dismantled the shields. However, the half-foot high shield is like a wall of iron, and it just doesn't retreat. There is also a jet-black broadsword in the gap of the shield, slashing out and bringing down the enemy.
Song Qi struggled to resist the shield, the sound of the blade and the shield colliding was like raindrops, he knew that at this time, he must not fall, nor can he retreat, the shield soldiers of the Black Armor Army are a solid front row, only if they advance with the shield, can they provide a safe offensive environment for their comrades.
The soles of his feet froze, and Song Qi knew that there were several people on the opposite side pushing his shield, if it weren't for the bracket under the shield, I'm afraid it would have turned over a long time ago.
And the other party seemed to find that his shield could be lifted, so that Song Qi's arm suddenly emptied, the entire shield was lifted, and Song Qi's whole person was exposed under Hu Ren's scimitar.
Song Qi thought that his fate was resting, and when he pulled out a short knife from his waist to fight to the death, Lu Ziji waved a big knife from the side to block it, and fought with several Hu people.
Song Qi didn't say anything or hesitate, immediately picked up the shield from the side, rushed into the Hu people formation with the shield, and knocked the two Hu people away with a shield covering his head, tightly guarding the left side of the landing general.
At this time, the sound of cavalry charging sounded on the left and right, a red firework flew in the air, and the shield soldiers on the left and right in front shrank up, forming a huge square position, and the archers began to gather in the middle and began to release bows and arrows in front, and there were archers behind the Hu people approaching, ready to shoot at the cavalry when they rushed into the position.
On both sides of the Black Armor Army's camp, artillery roared in unison, and huge fireballs slashed out meteor showers in the air, blasting the entire plain into flames.
Wu Yueya picked up the telescope tube, looked ahead, and saw a sea of fire scorching the Hu cavalry who were the first to rush into the range of artillery fire, and the cannonballs smashed down several Hu cavalry, just like the fist of a giant fell into the camp of the Hu cavalry, blowing up and scattering one cavalry after another, and the dirt was flying, this is the power of artillery.
Despite being hit by artillery fire, the Hu cavalry did not have the slightest fear, as if they were drunk, they took their bravery to the extreme, brandishing their scimitars and were bound to break into the artillery position, at this time, the second round of artillery fire was coming.
They never imagined that this strange artillery of the Black Armor Army would crush their entire camp like a dam collapsing, and the people would turn over on their backs, but in just ten breaths, the ground was scorched black, and these invaders were all over the field.
Many of the cavalry who rushed through the artillery fire had long been unable to form an organization, scattered and disorderly, and still rushed towards the artillery position of the Black Armor Army to the letter.
As everyone knows, Cen Shen had already led tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry to rush towards them, with the broadsword cavalry charging on the left, and the crossbowmen on the right spreading out to fight, defeating all the Hu iron cavalry that were ready to attack the infantry formation of the black-armored army in the middle.
Standing on a temporary high platform in the distance, Lu Gaier couldn't believe it, although he could see the distance, he was still shocked, he just heard it, he hadn't seen it, and now seeing such an earth-shattering battle situation, it was naturally difficult to calm down.
"Let the cavalry in the rear who are ready to support charge, tell them, drink blood wine, sacrifice to the gods, and kill a black-armored sergeant for a string of money!" Rugar waved his huge arm and smashed the railing, and if he continued like this, he would definitely lose, but he had made a military order to the eldest prince.
"Yes!" Tanu led the order to run towards the bottom of the barracks, and soon gathered a group of Hu Qiqi who were not afraid of death, at least 10,000 of them, their faces were painted with cinnabar, like evil spirits from hell, and some still used chicken blood or pig blood to draw charms on the armor on their chests, as if they wanted to borrow some power from the gods.
The battlefield on the left and right sides had been controlled by the Black Armor Army, and the enemy would never have expected that their positions would fall within half an hour, and the Hu infantry fighting against the Black Armor Army in the middle began to be exhausted.
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.
Unable to break through the shields of the black-armored shield soldiers, these Hu people smashed into the hard iron wall like a bursting punch, consuming not only their combat power, but also their morale.
At this time, Wu Yueya saw the Huren cavalry painted with peach charms through the binoculars, she found that everyone's faces were full of excitement and death, she knew that this was a dead soldier, it seemed that the power of the bombardment cannon had made the other party panic, moving the telescope, Wu Yueya found a more interesting place, a high platform, it seemed that the commander was arranging troops on it.
"Ji Xiao?"
"What does the princess command?" Ji Xiao held the hammer in both hands, and turned his horse to Wu Yueya.
Wu Yueya pointed ahead with her finger, and then threw the telescope to Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao took it with his hand, smashed the hammer to the ground, sank half an inch to the ground, took the telescope, put it in front of him unfamiliarly and uncertainly, and looked towards the place indicated by the princess.
"What do you see?" Wu Yueya asked.
"A high platform, and a big man?" Ji Xiao replied uncertainly, with some doubts in his tone.
"Take a detour from the low slope on the left, tear down the high platform, and behead the tall man at the same time!" Wu Yueya took back the binoculars, looked at Ji Xiao who had re-lowered the hammer, and said.
"Hey, leave it to me, isn't it just a high platform? I'll go down with these two hammers and promise to smash the high platform to pieces! Smash that big guy into the air! Let them invade our land! Ji Xiao waved his arms and said with a big grin.
"Well, if you can't do anything, you can withdraw it, and I will only give you five thousand black-armored cavalry!" Wu Yueya put away the binoculars, pinned the Han sword at her waist, and looked at Ji Xiao with a hopeful gaze.
"Okay, I'll leave it to me!" Ji Xiao immediately galloped towards the military formation, brandished an iron hammer, rode a war horse and began to transfer troops.
At this time, Du Fu interjected from the side, "The princess is making a surprise attack at the moment, the timing is right, and when the local formation becomes chaotic, you can take the opportunity to do it, Du Fu thinks that it is also necessary to move the left and right artillery formations forward, and let the brigade speed up its pace!" Support the surprise team! ”
"Well, Zimei deserves to be my military advisor! Insight! Wu Yue Aya used her eyes to look at the rear army formation that was receiving the fleeing captives, although some were saved, most of them died in the strangulation of the two armies, especially the indiscriminate slashing of the Hu people.
On the left side of the army formation, the artillery array followed closely behind the cavalry, Cen Shen led 10,000 iron cavalry to charge, and at any time it could meet the dead cavalry of the Hu people, while on the right, the crossbowmen covered the artillery to advance forward, and pointed the cannon at the back of the Hu people's 20,000 infantry brigade.
The shield soldiers in the middle also began to advance forward, and this battle had just been contacted, but in half a day, the balance of victory fell to Wu Yueya's side.
