Chapter 60: The Nemesis of the Cavalry (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Go to the camp first, plot rebellion, rebel, and commit disobedience, the lord has an order, and all of them will be killed"
I saw that south of Yecheng, where the first camp was stationed, tens of thousands of soldiers were rushing towards the central camp from the four directions of east, west, south and north, in order to form an encirclement momentum, the shouting and killing sound like a landslide and tsunami was earth-shattering, and the noise was under the quiet night sky, with a chill to the extreme.
Originally, this operation was a surprise attack, but the soldiers who first entered the camp did not seem to have slept at all, and had already been prepared, when they found the enemy coming from all directions, they saw a rough face, tall figure, holding a mace iron rod of the general riding on a tall horse, commanding two thousand soldiers who first arrived in the camp to wait, looking at the direction of Yecheng, tears in his eyes, the worst result that the general said still appeared, they are still like this here, the general who is alone in the city, the result is even more self-evident.
"Go to the camp first, line up," the general endured the sadness in his heart and shouted loudly.
"Drink!"
The neat shouts suddenly resounded in the sky, and the two thousand warriors who had ascended to the camp gave up the fence that had no meaning at all on the periphery, and immediately gathered together to form a huge circle, still the shield soldiers were in the front to protect, the shields were slammed on the ground, the spearmen followed, and the crossbowmen were in the center to draw the bow and wind it, ready to fire at any time.
On a small hill not far from the camp, holding a sharp long knife, Yan Liang, who was murderous in his eyes, rode on the big horse, shining through the firelight, looking at the first camp that had completed the formation, although he was surprised by the other party's preparation, but his face was full of contempt, and shouted: "The cavalry will go with me,"
Hearing this, Zhang He, who came with him, was suddenly startled, and hurriedly stopped: "The general must not, the crossbowmen who first enter the camp are the nemesis of the cavalry, and if they attack head-on, our army will suffer heavy losses, because a large army will be sent to the rear."
When Lian Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong is the king of cavalry, how indispensable, thousands of miles, invincible, when finally repelled by the terrible crossbow shot of the first camp, Zhang He is really a witness to the battle of the boundary bridge that year, the crossbow arrows that cover the sky and the sun are too terrible, and the cavalry rushes up that is simply a live target!
However, although their crossbow arrows are powerful, they are indeed not invincible, because the number has not been large, so the role of the first camp is mainly to thwart the sharp spirit of the enemy cavalry, and immediately send out to defend the army behind the first camp, but now the first camp has been set as a rebel, and there is no longer any support, as long as the siege is from all sides, and then gather an elite group, go around to the rear of the crossbowmen, and the first will be broken.
"What nemesis, that didn't touch me" Hearing this, Yan Liang suddenly raised his head arrogantly, ignored Zhang He at all, and immediately led the cavalry to attack from the east, and soon surpassed the infantry, the black battle armor, mixed with the fierce momentum, made him like a god of death, majestic.
"Bullshit first to the camp, this will break your myth today" Yan Liang looked at the unmoving first camp in the distance, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, this army is too dazzling, completely hindering his development.
"Speed Up"
The cavalry relied on charging and maneuvering, and I saw thousands of cavalry shaking the land, and even from a distance of a thousand steps, I could clearly feel the strong aura of slaughter.
When Zhang He saw this scene, a trace of anxiety and helplessness flashed on his face, and he immediately ordered: "The rest will come with me"
I saw that Zhang He immediately took the cavalry of his headquarters, directly reversed the direction, and detoured towards the rear of the first camp.
The two thousand soldiers who first ascended to the dead looked at the oncoming cavalry, their eyes were calm, without the slightest fear, under the strict training of Koji Yi and the baptism of tragic war, these people had already grown into elite soldiers in a hundred battles, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, even if a million male soldiers rushed in, they would never take a step back.
After the general who occupied the center saw Yan Liang, his eyes immediately flashed with endless cold light, it was Yan Liang's framing and jealousy that made the general fall into this situation, the general should really listen to the words of the second son, don't go to Yecheng impulsively, if it is really outside, with the prestige of the general, as long as he waves his arms, there will be ten thousand troops with him, who can be invincible and can fight well at the time of the general opponent, but now it is too late, fortunately, the other two major generals left early.
"Brothers, in today's battle, we will die, but we must not insult the prestige of the general, and ascend the glory of the dead first."
"Change Formation, Kill"
When he saw that Yan Liang's cavalry had reached a distance of about two hundred paces, the general immediately raised the hideous and terrible mace, and shouted murderously, which was immediately sent into the ears of every soldier who ascended first, only to see that the formation changed instantly, and the shield soldiers in the front three rows suddenly squatted down. The rows of orderly crossbowmen in the center were revealed, and I saw them holding strong crossbows, looking at the oncoming war horses, with bloodthirsty eyes in their eyes.
"Launch!" The general waved his hand heavily.
I saw a burst of incomparably explosive thunder suddenly sounded, Yan Liang, who was advancing, was suddenly startled, and a sense of deadly danger made him hurriedly restrain the horse's head, and the next moment, a piercing scream swept into the air in an instant, and one by one the black crossbow arrows were like raindrops towards Yan Liang and the cavalry under his command!
After the rows of dense crossbow arrows were fired, the cavalry that was rushing forward fell down in rows, and the wails suddenly sounded, and the people who first ascended to the camp suddenly turned on their horses, and there were countless casualties.
"Rush over, rush over," Yan Liang shouted angrily.
However, crossbow arrows are different from bows and arrows, bows and arrows are more of a face kill, and crossbow arrows are to the line of killing, although not as good as a longbow, can hit with extremely high accuracy, and the power of direct shooting is far better than that of bows and arrows, these cavalry in front of them, is completely a live target in general, constantly falling, it is difficult to rush into the range of a hundred, when the more casualties, the cavalry behind is directly blocked by the fallen horses, the slaughter of one side began immediately, and after a while, Yan Liang's cavalry has been killed and wounded more than 500 people.
Yan Liang was distressed when he saw this scene, this nemesis of the cavalry who had ascended to the camp first, he was annoyed that he didn't listen to Zhang He's words, and hurriedly shouted, "The cavalry retreats, and the infantry is dispatched"
After the cavalry hurriedly retreated in panic, the infantry held swords and cards, and marched towards the first camp with great momentum.
"Shield soldiers out" the general shouted coldly, after another row of crossbow arrows, the shield soldiers returned, blocking the front, the crossbowmen crouched down, immediately rewound, when the soldiers approached, a spear quickly rushed out of the shield gap, like a poisonous snake, pierced into the body of each soldier, harvesting a fresh soldier, the shield soldiers are infinitely powerful, they are stubbornly resisting the impact of the team, not allowing them to break through the formation.
"How is this possible?"
Yan Liang shouted in disbelief, only to see that although the army surrounded the two thousand Xian Deng, they were indeed like a reef in the sea, standing still, but gradually slaughtering his tens of thousands of troops.
