Chapter 13: The First Battle

If you look down from the sky, you will see that on both sides of the middle line of the huge gourd belly, countless small dots quickly move towards the middle line and stop on the middle line. Not far in front of the gourd's belly, an equally large group of black dots was rapidly running towards a long black line in the gourd's belly.

"All troops on alert!"

"All troops on alert!"

"All troops on alert!"

“……”

With the banner at the front of the line, a group of heralds ran back and forth on both sides of the chariot infantry on their horses, shouting loudly.

Immediately, except for a small number of cavalry still left at the end of the team to protect the few baggage, hundreds of cavalry rode to the front of the team, and for a time countless smoke and dust flew on both sides of the team, chasing the deafening sound of horses' hooves fluttering in the low air.

At the front of the team, nearly 2,000 cavalry stood on horseback, staring ahead, and three or five miles away, hundreds of Hun soldiers in white clothes and leather armor were roaring towards them.

"嗷 ~ 嗷 ~ 嗷 ~ 嗷 ......"

The Hun cavalry, armed with long knives and longbows, shouted loudly while "roaring", while galloping on their horses, the team of hundreds of people actually had the momentum of thousands of troops, and for a while, the dust rolled rapidly under the horses' hooves.

"Hateful, why did these Huns come to us silently? Are all the sentry horses we sent out earlier rice buckets? No news came back! In the middle of the front queue of nearly 2,000 cavalry of the big man here, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy said indignantly.

"Shut up!" Li Guang's eyes never left the Hun soldiers who rushed from the end of the post road, "Those sentry horses, I'm afraid they have already died under these Hun cavalry!" ”

"What? How is this possible? Those sentry riders are all elite ......" Li Dang said in disbelief, and his body couldn't help but tremble. I'm afraid that he, who had never been in contact with the Hun cavalry before, didn't know what the Hun cavalry meant.

Li Guang ignored him anymore, his eyes were fixed on the Hun cavalry that was already a hundred zhang away like a tide, and hundreds of Hun cavalry were like hundreds of tigers coming down the mountain, rushing over with a thunderous momentum.

Li Guang pulled out the long knife, and with the sound of "poof", the nearly 2,000 cavalry behind Li Guang drew their bows and arrows at the same time, aiming the four-edged iron arrow at the Hun cavalry in front.

"Tick!"

Under the scorching sun, the sweat from the faces of the soldiers slid down their cheeks and fell low on the back of their horses. Nearly two thousand different cavalrymen stood still at this moment, and the battle robes under the armor fluttered in the autumn wind.

At this time, Li Guang's eyes only had the Hun soldiers opposite, and in his ears, there was only the sound of the "sonorous" hooves of the Huns. Everything else seemed to disappear at this moment.

It's a moment where movement and stillness are perfectly combined.

Suddenly, the long knife in Li Guang's hand led forward!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Almost at the same time, the sound of "bumper bumper bumper ......" bows and arrows sounded like a rain, and together with nearly two thousand iron arrows, they flew towards the Hun cavalry!

The sky between the Han army and the Hun cavalry was suddenly filled with a rain of arrows!

However, in just a moment, these arrows rained away!

In the next moment, they had already fallen into the camp of the Hun cavalry!

At this moment, hundreds of Hun arrows also rushed into the Han cavalry array!

The sound of "bang, bang......" arrows piercing through the armor sounded like a symphony in the Han army and cavalry formations at the same time, bringing up blood flowers that sprayed into the air, blooming delicately under the scorching sun!

The screams rang out suddenly and reasonably in the camps of the two armies, and the soldiers and horses who were shot by the arrows let out the last cry of their lives!

The warriors who were shot off their horses did not have to fight except for howling, but the warriors who were not shot or did not fall off their horses had to continue to run forward!

The Han cavalry and the Hun cavalry who shot the first arrow were immediately replaced with the second arrow, and in the desperate rush of the war horses, countless soldiers with red eyes shot the second arrow in their hands!

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

The sound of bows and arrows leaving the strings and arrows penetrating through the armor came one after another, and in the breathtaking screams, a large number of warriors fell off their horses and lost the qualification to rush into the enemy formation with their horses.

Quite a few arrows hit the enemy, but many more missed. In two rounds of shooting, the Hun cavalry lost a quarter, while the Han soldiers, due to the large number of people and the dense battle array, lost not a few, almost as many as the Huns lost!

After shooting the second arrow, the two sides had already come in and were within reach, and there was no time to shoot the third arrow, Li Guang, who was at the forefront of the Han army, waved a long knife in his hand and shouted: "Return to the bow, draw the sword!" ”

Before his voice fell, the Han soldiers behind him had already put away their bows and arrows, and pulled out the long knives with cold light on their waists. Each of them only expected to approach the Hun cavalry on the opposite side as soon as possible, and then chop the long knife in their hands as fast as possible!

Every soldier of the Han army stared at a Hun cavalryman, and the next moment, the knife in their hand would be slashed at the chest of the opponent!

"Whoop~~"

"Whoop~~"

"Whoop~~"

“……”

The Hun cavalry was still howling and quickly broke into the Han army's formation!

Jin Ge Iron Horse collided together at this moment!

"Kill!"

Li Guangda shouted, the long knife in his hand slashed the head of the Hun cavalry in front of him like lightning, his body tilted slightly, after avoiding the long knife of the Hun cavalry, accompanied by the gallop of the war horse, he was already close to the next cavalry!

Behind him, blood gushed out like a fountain from the neck of the Hun cavalryman just now, and the war horse under him was still galloping forward, as if he didn't realize that his master had died. When the blood of this corpse sprayed on Li Dang's body behind Li Guang, the headless corpse that had already swayed fell to the ground along with the blood!

"Flutter!"

The long knife in Li Guang's hand has never been stagnant for a moment, and every time it is cut down, it will inevitably bring up a bright red blood flower, and even when it is put away, it can also cut off the enemy's leg and chop off a piece of the flesh and blood of the Hun war horse! And his body, nimble on the horse, dodged one deadly attack after another!

Li Kang, who was following behind Li Guang, his body that was still trembling before had unconsciously stopped shaking, he followed Li Guang closely, the long knife in his hand kept cutting down, kept putting it away, and he even harvested a lot of lives for a while!

If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, Li Kang, who was already enthusiastic, really wanted to yell: "Kill!" ”

Li Kang's situation is also the situation of countless Han cavalry, especially recruits like him who are on the battlefield for the first time.

When the long knife in his hand was slashed by himself on the enemy and harvested his life, the recruits who killed for the first time were all excited, and many of them were even stunned for a moment.

However, these recruits who appeared stunned for a moment, and the next moment they were quickly approaching by the Hun cavalry in front of them, with the long knives in their hands, in front of their chests or necks, bringing up a spill of blood, and their lives also fell at this moment!

Even if it's just a moment of stunnedness, on this battlefield, it won't work!

In this first round of the charge, in addition to Li Guang, there was an incomparably fierce figure in the Han cavalry, waving the long knife in his hand, driving the war horse, crisscrossing the Hun cavalry camp, as if entering a no-man's land. The red-eyed cavalryman muttered a word to himself every time he swung his sword, as if he was pouring out something. And as his war horse swept past countless Hun cavalry, one after another Hun cavalry was unwilling to fall.

His expression was extremely cold, he was one of the few cavalrymen in the recruits who had a steady sword, and he was also the second only to Li Guang in the number of kills in this battle.

He is Le Yi!

The two armies clashed, and in the blink of an eye, they had already mixed together, countless blood flowers exploded in the air, countless heads and severed limbs flew in the air, and countless soldiers fell from their horses. In the billowing smoke and dust, the two armies passed by, and when the last cavalry of the last two armies ran in opposite directions, in addition to a place of smoke and dust, there were countless blood, corpses, and a few terrible wails and a few war horses that had lost their owners and looked around blankly.

A charge is nothing more than a dozen breaths.

The Hun cavalry, who rushed through the Han cavalry formation, saw the Han army foot soldiers in front of them, these extremely fragile creatures in their eyes. But when their eyes touched the chariots and baggage lined up in front of these Han soldiers, they did not choose to attack.

Such a large defensive array of thousands of people was not something that they could break through with a few hundred cavalry now.

Like the Han cavalry, the Hun cavalry turned their horses in the shortest possible time and once again faced the enemy they had just faced.

For a moment, there was a brief moment of looking at each other.

The red battle robe, the broken battle armor, the monstrous battle intent stirred the warriors, and the four hooves galloped and tired the war horses.

When everyone turned their horses' heads, and didn't bother to wipe the blood from their faces, the generals of the two armies once again gave the order to attack.

War horses, smoke and dust, angry howls, and wielding long knives, once again angry in the sky!

Qin Cheng stood in the middle of the three thousand chariot soldiers, unable to see the battle hundreds of zhang away in front of him, even after experiencing the street scuffle, Qin Cheng was also deeply shocked at this moment!

Just listening to the voice, Qin Cheng also knew that the battle between the two armies was a completely different scene from the underworld, and there was a world of difference between the two, and they could not be the same at all.

Looking at the foot soldiers around him, Qin Cheng could understand that they were anxiously looking forward to the sound of the military horn that indicated that they were about to fight, but today's battle doomed them to be useless.

This is a cavalry-to-cavalry battle, and only cavalry can wash away hatred, insults and glory in this battle with their own strength.

Qin Cheng felt a sense of loss.
