Chapter 943: Battle of Danshui (1.5)
When the heavy cavalry on the opposite side began to charge, General Han Feng was a little uneasy at first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Because the momentum of the two thousand heavy cavalry on the horse was like a flood bursting the embankment, with a loud roar, as if even the earth under their feet trembled, and its great momentum was no less than the charge of ten thousand cavalry.
"How could there be such a momentum?"
Feng Ying frowned, he was experienced, and when he swept the oncoming horse Wei Qi at a glance, he estimated that the strength of this Wei cavalry was only about two thousand, and then he thought that outside the camp, there were more than 20,000 mixed troops with crossbows, and he was a little relieved in his heart.
In his cognition, the cavalry is strong and strong, but with only 2,000 cavalry, he wants to defeat more than 20,000 infantry.
"I don't know how many of the more than 2,000 "Traveling Horse Wei Rides" are left after a few rounds of salvos......
Feng Ying snorted coldly.
At the same time, outside Feng Ting's military camp, Zheng Ji, Feng's deputy general who was in charge of commanding the war, was watching the battlefield intently, giving orders from time to time.
Like Feng Ting, Zheng Ji didn't pay much attention to the 2,000 heavy horses that came on his face, because they both felt that no matter how powerful this Wei cavalry was, it would be impossible to break through the defense line composed of 20,000 infantry.
"Well, the speed of the sprint is not very fast, and it seems that it is not flexible, so it can only charge straight...... Is it because of the heavy armor?'
Adjutant General Zheng Ji touched his chin, and the corners of his mouth raised a few inexplicable sneers: Lost the flexibility of the cavalry, isn't this a target on the battlefield? Heh, Shi Miao will greet this Wei cavalry well.
At the same time, on the front line of Feng Ying's army formation, Shi Miao, the commander of the front, had already raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Target, the enemy cavalry ahead...... Shoot the arrows! ”
As he gave the order, the Korean crossbowmen deployed behind the infantry in the Feng Ying army array raised their strong crossbows one after another and launched a volley in the direction of the oncoming heavy cavalry.
The arrows in the sky shot out from Feng Yingjun, as if covering half of the sky, faintly shrouded in the path of the re-riding horse.
I have to say that Shi Miao, the infantry general of the Han army, was really accurate in judging the speed of the heavy cavalry charge, just enough to make the arrows shot by his crossbowmen cover the entire heavy cavalry to the greatest extent.
It is no wonder, after all, as a country with the most powerful cavalry, South Korea has been fighting with the nomads of the northern plateau for many years, especially in Yanmen County, Shanggu County, and Beiyan County, which will be harassed, looted and attacked by the nomadic cavalry of the northern plateau every year, which makes most of the Korean generals understand the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry, and know how to use the forces at hand to limit the enemy cavalry as much as possible.
Therefore, in terms of cavalry, the Korean generals are indeed qualified to be proud of the entire Central Plains, because no other Central Plains country understands the nature of cavalry as thoroughly as they do.
However, the heavy cavalry is not a cavalry in the ordinary sense.
"Huh...... It's a big scene.'
Leading the charge at the forefront of the team, the general who rode heavily raised his head as he charged, and glanced at the oncoming rain of arrows that seemed to cover half of the sky.
If he was in the era of "Dangjun Youma", seeing such a scale of arrow rain attack, I am afraid that Ma You would probably be stupid, but right now, he just licked his lips, ready to bear the baptism of the majestic arrow rain.
"Don't be stupid, Korean cubs......
Controlling the war horse under his crotch, Ma You sneered secretly.
"Ding—"
With a crisp sound, a crossbow arrow from the sky hit Ma You's chest helmet, and without causing any damage to this set of armor, this arrow was offset by the design of the arrow on the chest helmet, so that it seemed to "slide" past Ma You's side and nail it into the ground.
It was as if it were a signal, and in an instant, the arrows in the sky poured down like a torrential rain, enveloping the two thousand horses and horses.
For a while, the sound of clanging was endless, and the heavy riding of the horse was completely baptized by the majestic arrow rain in the real sense.
"Unexpectedly...... No evasion?'
Shi Miao, the commander in charge of commanding in front of the Korean army, widened his eyes in surprise, he thought that in the face of the rain of arrows shot out of their army, the traveling horse Wei cavalry would choose to dodge, but unexpectedly, the other party not only did not evade, but did not even slow down at all, and rushed straight forward with the attack of the rain of arrows.
"Aren't all these guys afraid of death?"
Shi Miao's eyes widened and stared ahead, because his vision was blocked by the continuous rain of arrows, so that he could not see the casualties of the Wei cavalry for the first time, until the latter rushed out of the range covered by the rain of arrows, or after the continuous rain of arrows completely poured over the heads of this Wei cavalry, he could see the scene on the battlefield in the distance.
After just one glance, he cried out in distraction: "How is it possible?!" ”
What did he see?
He saw that 2,000 horses were riding heavily, and they actually rushed over forcibly against the rain of arrows, and none of them were damaged!
Unscathed!
Under the volley of arrows of thousands or even nearly 10,000 crossbowmen, only 2,000 heavy horsemen ate all the arrows, and not a single horse was damaged?!
How thick is the armor of those traveling horses and Wei riding?!
Even as a front-line commander, he could not be distracted for a moment, and Shi Miao inevitably lost his mind a little at this moment, because he had never encountered an enemy cavalry that could completely withstand the rain of arrows.
"General!"
Beside Shi Miao, one of the guards screamed.
Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up, and looked at the re-riding horse that was close at hand, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: Oh no!
"Infantry! Front-row infantry, ready to withstand the onslaught of enemy cavalry! He yelled hysterically.
Hearing this, the infantry in the front row of Feng's army raised their shields one after another, preparing to meet the heavy cavalry of the traveling horses that rushed straight towards them.
"Boom, boom—"
Two thousand heavy horsemen rushed towards these South Korean infantrymen with a wave of mountains and seas.
The huge momentum made the South Korean infantry deployed in front of the army swallow their saliva unconsciously, and a trace of fear appeared in their eyes. Because of this traveling horse Wei Qi, who braved the rain of arrows and forcibly rushed over, they inevitably thought of some bad legends of gods and monsters.
"Twenty feet...... Ten Zhang...... Wuzhang ...... It's coming!'
Silently counting the distance from the opposite Wei cavalry, a 100-member Korean army general in the front row took a deep breath and tried to block the opponent with the shield in his hand.
But the moment the two came into contact, he only felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, and only heard a loud "boom" in his ears, and then he lost consciousness.
"Boom-"
About 600 horsemen and heavy horses, as the vanguard of the team, crashed into the infantry phalanx of the South Korean army, only to see that in an instant, the South Korean infantry in the front row was actually knocked into the air and flew upside down towards the rear team.
Unstoppable! Unstoppable!
The heavy cavalry that came with the momentum of the charge, the impact force is more than a thousand, like the light infantry of the Korean swordsmen, how can they block the power of the heavy cavalry charge?
"Bang bang bang-"
"Bang bang—"
The shields in the hands of the Korean soldiers burst and shattered when they tried to stop the heavy riding of the horses.
The Korean soldiers who were knocked into the air clutched their arms in pain, because the right arm they used to hold the shield had already been shattered to the bone when they met the Wei cavalry's momentum.
However, the pain of these Korean soldiers was short-lived, because when they fell from mid-air to the ground, they happened to be trampled by the follow-up heavy horses.
"Click-"
In a tooth-aching sound of broken bones, the heavy horsemen trampled the bodies of these Korean soldiers without mercy, and the huge hooves of the crotch mounts stepped over the bodies of the Korean soldiers, crushing the bones and crushing the chest, leaving one deep horseshoe mark after another.
Trample down to the pulp.
"Boom—"
The follow-up heavy cavalry also arrived, so that the formation of the South Korean army, which originally presented a "little collapse" battle situation, seemed to collapse on the whole line at this time.
The Korean infantry could not stop the power of the heavy cavalry charging at all, and in only a few dozen breaths, the defense line was torn apart by the heavy cavalry, and the latter smashed into the crossbow phalanx at the rear of the team.
However, the Korean infantry with shields still can't stop the heavy horses, let alone crossbowmen?
In front of the heavy horsemen, the crossbowmen are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.
"Block! Obstruct! ”
Han General Shi Miao yelled in shock.
At this moment, he was frightened, he was afraid, for he had never encountered such a powerful cavalry.
"You goddamn monster!"
Seeing the oncoming heavy horseman, he drew the sword at his waist and seized the opportunity to slash at the opponent's shoulder as a heavy horse swept past him.
There was only a "ding" sound, sparks splashed everywhere, and the heavy horse rode away unharmed, compared with the time when he came, only a white slash appeared on the shoulder socket.
"How is that possible?" Seeing that the blow was fruitless, Shi Miao looked at the sword in his hand in a daze, and only then did he realize that the long sword in his hand actually had a small piece broken at the blade.
"Invulnerability? Arrows do not invade? Shi Miao looked around in shock.
I saw that the battlefield around him at this moment was full of black-armored traveling horses and heavy horses, these monster-like Wei horses, not afraid of swords and bayonets, nor afraid of crossbow arrows, rampaging in the infantry ranks of his Korean army, no one could stop them.
At first, Shi Miao thought that he could block the defense line of this Wei cavalry, but in front of this Wei cavalry, it was as fragile as paper paste, so that in the blink of an eye, the entire defense line collapsed.
Suddenly, Shi Miao felt a gust of wind behind him, and he turned his head sharply, only to see a dozen heavy horsemen rushing straight towards him.
Taking a deep breath, he clenched the long sword in his hand and slashed at the head of the first heavy horseman, roaring angrily, "Give me death!" Damn monsters! ”
With a "crash", the long sword in his hand slashed at the helmet of the heavy rider, because the long sword had already broken in the square, so that at this moment, it actually broke from it.
And when he was reacting from his distraction, a riding spear pierced his body and knocked him off his horse.
As he was dying, Shi Miao turned his head with difficulty to look at the heavy rider who had been slashed off by him with his long sword, but saw that the other party was shaking his head, perhaps it was Fang Cai's slash that caused the horseman's head to be concussed.
But that was all there was to it, and after a few moments, the heavy rider recovered.
"Bang."
With a loud bang, Han slipped Shi Miao's body from the riding gun.
Falling to the ground, Shi Miao looked at the far away Wei Qi and cursed silently.
"Damn it...... Monster!'
