Chapter 40: The Joy of Life

Shen Hu galloped in the array, watching the faces of the soldiers on the opposite side change from blurry to clear, and the look of horror and fear on their faces came into view, Shen Hu couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart.

Shen Hu is a native of Wei County, born with a different phase - thirty years old, he is already completely bald, the top of his head is light, there is no hair, and the Tuoba head shines north and south - known as "bald Shen". His background is similar to that of Shile, both of whom used to be a powerful herder, and thus practiced a good riding skill. Later, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and its lord took refuge in the Hu and Han regimes, and Shen Hu became a scout cavalryman. Zu Ti Northern Expedition, destroyed his troops, Shen Hu was defeated and fled into Huashan, after more than ten days, finally hungry and unbearable, out of the mountains to forage for food, and was captured by the Pei army who went west.

At that time, Pei Gai had not yet subdued Beigong Chun, Luo Yao and other cavalry, and there were relatively few people who were good at equestrianism under his command, so after determining that Shen Hu was born as Jin Feihu, he immediately accepted it and ordered him to be cavalry. After that, he moved to various parts of Kansai and made great meritorious achievements, so he was recruited into the second batch of "armored cavalry" and served as the captain.

The infantry is a team of 130 people, and the cavalry is generally a team of 50 horses, as for the "armored cavalry", because a knight is equipped with two horses, two pack horses, and three attendants, four horses, and four people are a basic combat unit, so the number will be reduced, and all knights are at least at the rank of captain, and a team is only twenty-five horses.

The team led by Shen Hu was in the center of the first row of charged, and it was the most advanced in the cone formation. This position represents the greatest danger, but it is also extremely glorious, after the war, the merit will be counted one or two more, and the bald head Shen still lobbied in many ways, and secretly stuffed Lu Songduo with money, so as to grab this appointment. His philosophy of life is very simple: if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you have to fight with your life!

Anyway, Lao Tzu's life is worth it, since he joined Pei Jun, he has to eat enough every day, and even the refined grain and white noodles that he can't see before, Lao Tzu has eaten them, so what regrets are there? It is the duty to fight before the battle and die for the governor; Kill all the Hu Xuan, so that the world is peaceful, and the children and grandchildren can be safe; If you are lucky enough not to die, you will return the meritorious service...... In particular, it may not be that I will not be able to enter the "Records of Honored Generals" in the future!

When Shen Hu was in the Hu army, he also slept with many women—mainly from the looting after the victory, purely rape—and thought that life was the happiest thing, nothing more than that; But after joining Pei Jun and marrying a family in Guanzhong, I realized that if the other party is willing to cooperate with you and be willing to give you a baby, it will be really wonderful and happy! He now has a son, who is only three years old, and if he dies in battle and is more compassionate over the years, it will be enough for the mother and son to live for a decade or two—and in a decade or two, the son should also be an adult.

If I have a big life and can earn some land and property for my son, then Lao Tzu has not lived in vain in this life!

Thinking of this, Shen Hu couldn't help but clench the long lance in his hand - this lance is six feet long, the head of the lance is one foot eight inches, and it is ten catties of iron, which is quite heavy, and it is not easy to grasp the center of gravity when it is wielded.

After the formation, the drums became more and more intensive, but in Shenhu's position, he could no longer hear clearly—especially the sound of horseshoe hooves, which almost completely drowned out all other sounds around him—he only knew that he should launch the final charge by visually measuring the distance between him and the enemy formation, and according to his experience during training.

So he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the mount, which had always been close to his family, almost had a heart-to-heart with him, and immediately snorted, spread his hooves, and quickened his running. At the time of the battle, the movements of the knights in Shenhu's position were the standard and example of all the armored cavalry, and his charge drove the entire platoon - two hundred cavalry - armored cavalry, and plunged straight into the Zhao formation in the shape of a sharp arrow.

The condition of the ground is quite good, there has been no rain for more than ten consecutive days, plus the previous several times to force the enemy base, and in front of the enemy base "bow", the originally soft ground is trampled very tightly, the first horse is like galloping on a smooth road, can rush without hindrance. Shen Hu clearly saw that the spearmen in front of the Zhao army began to covet, the armored cavalry had not yet rushed closer, the formation was already scattered, some soldiers still knew to stick the tail of the spear into the ground to increase the power of deterring the assault, but some soldiers were holding their spears blankly, as if they could force the armored cavalry back at the longest distance.

Through repeated training and exercises, Shen Hu clearly knew that even if the spear was inserted into the ground, it might not be able to stop the charge of the armored cavalry...... Unless five people have a spear and work together, it is possible to block the armored horse, of course, the premise is that the spearhead is not bent and the spear shaft is not broken.

Therefore, although he saw the spears like a forest, he was not afraid, and drove his horse straight into it.

Of course, in order to avoid the injury of the war horse, it is still necessary to make some minor adjustments, try to avoid the front of the spear, and look for the gap between the two spears to charge.

First of all, the tip of a flat spear pierced the side of the mount, penetrating slightly, but then the spear was carried by the person, and it was shocked out by the impact of the armored horseman - Shen Hu could see that the Zhao pawn was like a heavy blow in the chest and abdomen, and as soon as his foot left the ground, blood spurted wildly from his mouth. Immediately he might collide with a spear with its tail stuck in the soil and raised diagonally, and Shen Hu Nai gently and skillfully used a horse lance to swing it crookedly.

The spearmen of the Zhao array were very densely arranged, and if Shen Hu was not careful, a spear stabbed straight at his chest. He ignored it, and at the beginning of the long lance, he stabbed another Zhao soldier through the chest, and then twisted his wrist, and his right arm was retracted backwards, and the Zhao soldier was brought back directly, hitting the horse, Shen Hu took the opportunity to borrow strength, and easily pulled out the tip of the lance from the opponent's body.

The feeling of piercing the enemy's flesh and bones with a sharp weapon is really cool, almost no less than sleeping with a woman - your own wife is not counted, and the matter of his wife Dunlun, although he kills a hundred people, he does not change it!

The spear that stabbed at Shen Hu's chest earlier was in the middle of the left side of the heart guard at this moment, and with a "click", the spearhead was broken.

The spear was the main infantry weapon of the year, and because of its easy finding, low cost, and simple workmanship, few people would spend much effort on ordinary infantry spears. The Pei army often prided itself on being well-equipped, but in contrast, the spears of the Qian army were generally much more shoddy—unless they were used by generals—and the spearheads were often less than half a catty of iron, narrow, small, and not refined, and the soldiers were too lazy to polish them on a daily basis......

How can such a spear break through the iron armor of an armored horseman? In particular, those few heart goggles are the most protective parts on the armor rider's body, and the spearhead is obliquely slashed, and it must not be broken.

Shen Hu glanced at his eyes, and just happened to see the Zhao pawn holding the severed spear. His gaze was cold and ruthless, as if he was looking at a dead thing that had nothing to do with him, the Zhao pawn was already horrified, seeing this look, he couldn't help screaming, threw down the broken spear, turned his head and fled. Shen Hu almost instinctively poked the lance away, only to feel that the tip of the lance entered the flesh, and it was recovered, even so, a bowl-sized blood mouth still suddenly appeared in Zhao Bing's heart, and he immediately fell forward, and knocked over two comrades.

At the same time, the war horse still continued to slam forward, and where the front hooves fell, he stepped on the thigh of a fallen Zhao soldier, and the hooves instantly entered the flesh and broken bones, and the Zhao soldiers screamed like a pig, and almost overtook all the sounds on the chaotic battlefield. Many Zhao soldiers heard such a terrible scream, and they were all heartbroken, abandoned their blades, and fled.

Shen Hu had long been accustomed to such a bloody and miserable battlefield, and at this moment, his heart was like an ancient well without waves, and all the thoughts he had when he rushed into battle before were no longer overflowing. He just forced the war horse to continue to slam forward, and at the same time, the long lance in his right hand mechanically stabbed forward and retracted, and instantly stabbed the six or seven Zhao pawns who had no time to escape before the horse came to the ground.

This first row of two hundred armored horses, with Shen Hu as the tip, was like a red-hot blade piercing into the flesh, instantly piercing into the Zhao array, almost flattening the three rows of spearmen in front of them. It wasn't until the fourth row that the horse's galloping speed finally slowed down, and Shen Hu also felt that the head of the lance was stained with too much flesh and blood, and even shards of leather, which became a little heavy. In fact, no matter how heavy the lance is, he can still run like the wind, but after all, it is not very good......

Seeing that behind the spear formation, there were sword and shield short soldiers, but the formation had already been knocked to pieces by the defeated spearmen and archers. Once the spear formation is broken, these short soldiers are naturally not the enemy of the armored cavalry, and I believe that the next battle may just be a complete one-sided slaughter.

Although the conflict between the mounts has eased, there are horses and lances to open the way, attendants to guard with swords and spears, and ordinary short weapons do not even want to approach. Except for the first time when he clashed with the spear formation, Shen Hu was stabbed by a few spears—either missed, or hit but not broken—and never encountered frontal resistance. Occasionally, a few feathered arrows didn't know where they came from, as long as they didn't face the head, Shen Hu basically ignored them, and let the arrows shoot at the armor, "clanging" and making a chaotic sound.

In fact, in the exercise, even the sword and shield soldiers have the opportunity to cause damage to the armored horse, and the flaw is the lower leg of the war horse that has no protective power. However, if you want to cut off the horse's legs and hooves, you must go forward short, the danger factor is too great, once you miss the shot, it is difficult to retreat, and under the premise of lack of prior drills, the soldiers must not do this.

Therefore, Shen Hu's mood was calmer, and he continued to advance without mercy, and just as he stabbed a knife man, he saw an enemy general split up and rode his horse to meet him. Shen Hu almost instinctively stabbed at the spear, and the general hurriedly held the spear with both hands, first knocked to the side, swinged the horse lance, and then the tip of the spear shook, straight to the door of Shen Hu's face.

Shen Hu was out with a long lance, and he didn't have time to retract it, so he was forced to twist his waist slightly, turn his head sideways, and block with the shield of his left arm. With a "click", the tip of the spear pierced through the skin and stabbed the wooden shield, which could be slashed from the side of Shenhu's ear. Shen Hu felt a pain in his left ear, and it was estimated that the protective neck was also pierced...... Good weapon! The distance between the two sides was quite close at the moment, and the war horses almost hit head-to-head, so Shen Hu threw the long lance and untied the iron head from his waist......
