Chapter 101: The Might of the Trapped Camp
Facing the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Gao Shun did not panic for a moment, and commanded calmly.
"Shield!"
Boom!
The shield struck the ground with a neat and uniform crashing sound, and the soldiers in the front row of the trap camp hid behind the huge shields, waiting for the battle.
"Spear!"
The spearmen behind the shield-bearer held their weapons diagonally upward, extending from behind the shield, with the end against the ground, grasping the hilt of the spear with both hands, and showing no fear in his eyes.
"Crossbow!"
The crossbowmen stepped forward in unison, removed the heavy crossbow from their backs, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at the enemy cavalry that was getting closer and closer in front of them.
"There are a total of twelve people in the pro-guard army, guarding Mr. Fengxiao!"
The twelve pro-guards pulled the reins of the horses to form a large circular formation, and between each other, the positions were staggered, and Guo Jia was firmly protected in the center.
"Mantis arm block the car!"
Fan Chou saw the other party's reaction clearly on his horse, the Kwantung army had not yet been able to block the troops of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry for a charge.
Since the other party doesn't know whether to live or die, and wants to forcibly block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the charge, let them see it.
"Sons, charge into battle!"
With an order, Xiliang Tie rode the entire cavalry and let out a jagged shout.
"Rush, crush them!"
"I can already imagine them lying on the ground screaming in pain!"
"Haha, no one can stop our charge."
The distance between the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the trap camp at the front was only three hundred steps.
It was the first time for Guo Jia to see thousands of cavalry charging on the battlefield, and the fierce aura on the enemy's face made him break out in a cold sweat for the brothers in the front row.
Although Guo Jia has been hiding in the trapped camp for a while and has witnessed the training of the trapped camp every day, the momentum of the whole army charging in Xiliang Iron Cavalry does make people feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
One hundred and fifty steps.
The tallest shieldman in the camp held his shield in front of him, his feet in front of him, his center of gravity lowered, and his shoulders rested on the back of the shield, waiting for the next cavalry to charge.
The spearman pressed down on his long weapon, waited for the opponent's charge to stop, and then cooperated with the shield hand to harvest the enemy troops that fell to the ground.
Their task was to help the shieldmen fend off the first wave of charge, and to protect the shieldmen and crossbowmen by discarding their spears and swords when the enemy forces had stopped.
Therefore, the spearman is the soldier with the most comprehensive skills and the most outstanding comprehensive ability in the camp.
The crossbowman held the heavy crossbow in front of him, keeping it full and no one trembling.
As a crossbowman, you must have strong arms and always be calm.
One hundred steps!
The faces of the people who were surrounded by foot soldiers in the rear army were full of fear, and the non-stop sound of horses' hooves slammed into their hearts.
If the troops in front of them can't withstand this wave of charge, once they are in chaos......
Eighty steps!
"Crossbowman, prepare!"
Gao Shun said calmly.
Sixty steps!
"Flat shot!"
The command blurted out.
Woohoo!
A rain of arrows flew out of the trapped camp, directly attacking the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Xiliang Tieqi didn't care at all, ordinary arrows were difficult to inflict substantial damage on them.
Rush forward.
Even if you fall, fall in front of the enemy and deal as much charge damage as possible, rather than falling in the middle of the charge.
Herod!
After the horses screamed, they fell to the ground and threw the warriors on horseback out.
It's a heavy crossbow!
Fan Chou's heart tightened.
There is no turning back at this moment.
"Hurry up, the other party will shoot in a round!"
Dozens of paces away, for a cavalry running at high speed, it is a blink of an eye.
The two sides finally got in touch!
Bang bang bang!
The sound of collision that hit the atrium sounded, and the war horse crashed into the giant shield, failing to break the shield, but throwing the warrior on his body into the trapped camp.
The Xiliang soldiers were thrown off their horses and fell into the infantry formation, where they were chopped into several pieces in a moment.
The cavalry, who was a little more lucky, was not thrown out, but the whole body was plunged into the spear, and the blood flew away, and the whole body was barely saved.
The cavalry further behind, because the brothers in front were blocked, could not continue to play the advantage of the charge.
"Projectile!"
Gao Shun gave another order.
The crossbowman raises the crossbow slightly higher.
Woohoo!
A round of projectiles came down, and the Xiliang Iron Riders in the rear were injured to varying degrees, and they wailed all over the field.
"Fight back, advance!"
The charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had stopped, and Gao Shun immediately made a decision.
"Ambition to fall into battle!"
"There is death and no life!"
"There is no advance or retreat!"
"I'm invincible!"
The loud and exhilarating slogans sounded, and the shield men in the front row, against the shields, moved forward steadily, pushing the enemy forward with all his might, and the spearmen in the rear followed, and with their long weapons, picked off the wounded and began to disorganize the enemy from their horses, and then made up for it with two swords.
"Shoot again!"
Trapped in the camp, another round of rapid fire was fired.
The cavalry that had stopped became a target, and a rain of arrows came, and a large number of them fell.
And the morale of the state army is greatly boosted!
The foot soldiers in the large square formation behind began to follow the trapped camp in the form of a small phalanx of 500 people, slaughtering the enemy army.
"Merge the state, Wan Sheng!"
"This ......"
Fan Chou was on the war horse, watching his sons and daughters keep falling, and his eyes were red.
What kind of army is this!
"Quick, withdraw the troops, the rear army will be in front of the army, return to the camp."
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had received the order, was relieved, turned their horses' heads one after another, and quickly left the battlefield.
Gao Shun seized this rare opportunity and let the crossbowmen play in the back, without having to concentrate and scatter the shots.
Xiliang Iron Rider, who had no intention of fighting, struggled to leave.
Three thousand people roared in, and when they left, only about three hundred horsemen remained, and only one out of ten remained!
"Go and report to the state pastor, the rear army has been attacked by enemy cavalry, and please come back for help."
Gao Shun called the few sentinels and told them to quickly rush to the front line and report the situation to Lu Bu.
He didn't know if there would be cavalry attacks next, but for the sake of safety, he still wanted Lu Bu to send some cavalry back to sweep the formation.
The sentry rode away on his fast horse.
"It is rumored that the brothers who are trapped in the camp, in the face of the cavalry, one is ten, and today they are convinced."
Guo Jiale moved forward.
"Trapped in the camp, fortunately with the love of the state pastor, he should move forward bravely."
Gao Shundao.
Dong Zhuojun, in the camp of the Northern Army.
Fan Chou returned with three hundred horsemen in embarrassment.
Zhang Ji hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why is this happening?" ”
The Xiliang Army is the best cavalry in the world, and Fan Chou's task is to use 3,000 iron cavalry to attack the grain transport troops in the rear of the Bingzhou Army, and he can leave after the matter is completed.
Now that there are only 300 people left, how can they report to the Grand Master?
"Careless!"
Fan Chou regretted that he should not underestimate the enemy at that time, just use the mobility of the cavalry to harass the other party, and wait until the enemy army is tired of coping, and then break into the formation.
"I didn't expect that in the state army, there is a phalanx dedicated to restraining cavalry."
The heavy crossbow was the most wounded weapon for cavalry.
"You rushed to the ground at the beginning?"
Zhang Ji shouted.
Without knowing the situation of the enemy's phalanx, it is taboo to charge into battle!
Fan Chou bowed his head and was silent, after the Xiliang soldiers entered Beijing, in the face of the enemy, they all charged down in waves, and there was no infantry phalanx that could resist the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Hence the habit.
"Mr. Wenhe, you still need to think of a way to do it next."
Zhang Ji turned around and asked a scribe behind him.
