Chapter 603: Early Winter Lightning, War of Annihilation (4)
The rumbling thunder skewed across the land, and the sound of huge horses' hooves came from the northeast and southeast.
Woo woo –
The sound of the horn sounded in the sky, under the gloomy clouds, countless horses' hooves were churning, and the dense crowd and horses were as turbulent as waves from the sky, and in the rumbling roar, the horn of war sounded again, and the three different voices of Ah Hun Ya, Lou Ban, and Chu Gui Ni shouted at the same time: "Ready-" The galloping 'river' raised their arms, drew their bows and arrows and pointed to the sky.
At the same time, the Parthian army in the array shrank rapidly, Remidals looked at the cavalry that was surging like a flood in the sun, took a deep breath, rode a horse and raised his sword and ran through the middle of the figures, there was no news from the five thousand cavalry sent out before, but he had no time to investigate, as long as the direct guard, the three thousand noble heavy cavalry were not damaged, this battle may not be lost, he looked at the large number of enemy cavalry that were getting closer and closer, and gritted his teeth: "As long as the cavalry of the Celes is attracted together, I can defeat them...... May the gods bless Parthia. ”
The war knife waved, and in the next second, the shield was raised, and Remidals gave a loud order: "Form a formation, spears and shields come forward, and the archers are ready to fight back-"
In the high-pitched voice, thousands of arrows rose into the sky, and the darkness was overwhelming. The shieldmen in the dense formation raised their shields to cover their companions beside them, and someone shouted: "Defense! "Above their heads, a dense rain of arrows spread out, stretching for three hundred feet, and then covering them.
Crackling –
The arrows were nailed to the shield and bounced off, and some were directly nailed into it, piercing the back of the person's hand, and the sound of screaming in pain squeezed out of the hideous and twisted faces, and some people even fell directly into the ranks of the arrows, all kinds of screams and screams...... Buzzing into one. The first rain of arrows fell, and after a moment's pause, Remidhals raised his sword.
The Parthian phalanx of archers on foot drew their bows and fired back at the enemy on both sides.
Buzz Buzz .......
"I'm going to defend the city of Nisa......"
Remy Dales whispered, looking at the rain of arrows shooting into the sky, drawing a long trajectory, the sun shone down, the arrows reflected a piece of cold light, at the same moment, someone was looking at the arrow cloud in the sky, and whispered a word.
"They can't hold it!"
When the rain of arrows that returned fire flew into the sky, two miles away, the white wolf flag and the Han flag were side by side, wearing wolf velvet armor and covering a large coat Gongsun Zhizheng retracted his gaze from the virtual shadow, his voice was strong, most of the generals around him did not speak, from the slaughtered Margian generals knew that the entire rest was not in its heyday, Rome, which had been recovered from the civil strife two years ago, could not fight back, or relied on the sudden outbreak of disease in the land in the war to let the other party withdraw, They feel strange that the Sabbaths do not have a standing army, they are in a position surrounded by enemies, even if there are tribes and city-states from all sides to gather troops, there will still be uneven combat effectiveness, and the response to the attack is much slower.
The sentence "Soldier is fast" is not unreasonable.
In terms of weapons and equipment, from the structure of the army in Margiana, the soldiers' equipment, the generals of all parties in the western expedition were killed in the southern expedition and the northern war, and the disadvantages can be seen at a glance, the main force of the Anxiguan people is mainly light cavalry, and the foot soldiers and archers are only recruited by peasants, and there is not even a single armor leaf on their bodies, and the elite ones are only two governor's guards and noble cavalry, and the number is very small, Sun Ce, Xiahou Yuan and others will not be able to understand how these Anxi people came over again and again in the attack of the Romans.
"The strength of the rest people only exists in the past time, the unchanged empire will only disappear in the river of history, if there is no this western expedition, so that the princes of the internal struggle have a new goal, then the Han will soon disappear under the iron hooves of your and my swords......"
Gongsun Zhi rubbed his mane, his eyes seemed to see through the Parthian army two miles away, he pulled the reins, turned around and raised his hand: "The heavy cavalry of the rest people is elite, lure them out, it's time for Pan Feng's new army to go up and see the effect, as for the rest of the ......."
"...... trampled to death." With an impatient wave of his hand, he watched the rain of arrows fall, and spoke in a low voice.
"Yes!"
In the next second, the horn sounded.
In the distance, the rain of arrows crackled and fell, splashing blood, some nailed to the ground, the tail of the feathers was still trembling slightly, the hooves of the galloping horses stepped over, there was no intention of slowing down, looking down from the sky, two huge torrents turned out a long arc to avoid the falling arrows, while holding the bow on the horse's back to fight back.
In the sound of the Parthian battle horn, 10,000 light horsemen were also rushing out of the left and right wings, using bows and arrows to mount and shoot at each other, blocking their harassment of foot soldiers and archers, but what they didn't know was that the oriental cavalry in front of them wearing leather armor and leather jackets and felt hats not only surpassed them in number, but also steppe warriors who grew up on horseback.
In the gallop, the Xianbei people and the Huns scattered instantly, with a number of horsemen and ten horsemen as a team, agile sticking to the horse's back, holding the bow and shooting horizontally, a large amount of blood splashed in the Parthian light horse, many people fell off the horse with arrows and left off the horse. Just as Ahunya, Gui Ni, and Lou Ban were about to eat the 10,000 Parthian light horsemen that had been separated, the sound of a horn with a special order came from afar.
In an instant, they raised their hands, changed their postures, and gave another command.
Boom Boom –
The horses shook the ground, and the three cavalry of the steppe, which had been scattered, gave up the prey they were about to eat, gathered together, turned out of the arc again with the churning horses' hooves, and circled around the vast Gobi field, while the cavalry on the other side also circled, rushing and surging into a single force, and rushed straight to the front of the Parthian army.
In the formation of 10,000 people, Remiddals's eyes widened, and he suddenly laughed, revealing his white teeth under his thick beard, and pinched the hilt of the knife and raised: "Haha...... With the favor of the gods, these Celeus people themselves came to send them to their deaths, defended in front, and let the nobles in the middle prepare, and the time came for them to decide the victory or defeat of the battlefield. ”
The figure of the cavalry galloping towards him could already be seen clearly.
"Array—" Parthian language spread through the crowd.
The rows of Parthian spearmen clenched their long soldiers, and the shieldmen in front of them slammed their shields into the earth, and they poked out the wooden spear shafts, and looked at the approaching cavalry, and even the faces of the other party. It turned out that the people of Cylius looked like this..... and someone's thoughts drifted for a moment.
A stone's throw.
"Attack!" Remiddals waved his hand violently, and his smile turned hideous, "The Cylius ..... you have been fooled. ”
Rear.
The three thousand iron-armored heavy horsemen in the phalanx slowly stepped out of the horses' hooves, and as they moved, the foot soldiers in front of them gave way to the spacious space, and in the process, the horses' hooves churned faster and faster, like the huge waves rising from the tide, and began to charge, and the armor pieces on their bodies also clanged in the shaking of the run.
Boom Boom Boom ......
…… Boom Boom Boom Boom .......
The crowd and dense crowd dodged very quickly, and the three thousand Parthian hoplites roared forward, and a thick spear was clamped under the armpit, and it rushed out of the array, and the general of this cavalry, Anrat, opened his mouth fiercely, took in a breath, raised his thick spear, and roared: "Launch a fatal chisel blow at the Cylius cavalry gathered over there, for the glory of Parthia!" ”
"For the glory of Parthia—" a neat voice shouted hysterically in the charge.
However, in the next moment, there was no flesh and blood bursting collision.
The charging eastern cavalry suddenly separated left and right and let go of the charge of the heavy cavalry, as if the river was diverted by a reef, and from time to time someone pulled a bow and shot over, and the arrow was nailed to the iron armor and the ping-pong deflection was deflected.
Uneasiness welled up in my heart.
Remidals rode back and forth a few steps, the picture of flesh and blood did not appear as he expected, looking at the heavy rider who was still sprinting, his brows were furrowed, and for a moment, he turned his head: "Inform Anrat and let them come back, the riding skills of the Celelius are too good, I am afraid that there will be problems." ”
When the knight of the herald ran away with the order, a sense of crisis without warning made Remidals raise his head sharply and look ahead, as if something bad had happened.
In front of the wave of heavy cavalry, Anrat's vision gradually widened as the cavalry of Cylius swarmed around, and an array of more than 4,000 people lined up neatly on the road they sprinted, and the first eastern knight with a large waist and a round waist was looking at him with a strange iron helmet.
"Flatten them—" Anrat commanded.
The moment the sound fell, there was a loud roar in the air, and a heavy armored cavalryman who rushed to the right of the front row suddenly flew backwards from Anrat's sight, a smear of blood splashed on his face, and a two-finger-thick crossbow bolt pierced through the sleeveless copper armor, sticking the man to the ground.
The ownerless horses were still running, and the next moment, more of these crossbow arrows roared from the opposite side, shooting at the front line of the cavalry's charge, colliding with the oncoming iron armor.
Poof-
When the first screams of people and war horses rushed into the sky with a terrible scream, the crossbow bolts penetrated into the human body and the neck of the war horse, the mane shook off, and the huge body fell, falling to the ground with a bang. Then more crossbows made oozing sounds.
Puff puff –
Puff puff puff –
