Chapter 127: Breaking the Han Array
The Xianbei cavalry fell in pieces, but the impact of a few rounds of crossbow bolts obviously did not make the Xianbei people who had fought with the Han army for many years fearful, and they understood that as long as they survived this period of time and chiseled through the Han army's military formation, everything would be reversed.
In front of the archers, the Han military captain stood on the far right side of the military formation, looking at the Xianbei iron cavalry rushing in front of him, he calculated whether the cavalry had entered the best range of bows and arrows, and raised his right arm high.
Tens of thousands of horses' hooves shook the earth, and the sky above them was filled with billowing smoke and dust, and the soldiers of the Han army seemed to feel that the heavens and the earth were moving, and in a short moment, it was like a long wait for them, and finally they heard the order to attack.
"Shoot the arrows!"
As the Han generals shouted loudly, their right arms waved violently, and they fell fiercely, and the five thousand indifferent archers who had been in battle for a long time released their clasped fingers expressionlessly, and showed their sharpest fangs without hesitation, and all the archers "buzzed" bowstrings and rebounded.
"Shuttle! Shuttle! Shuttle ......"
"Whew! Shout! Whew......"
Countless sharp feathered arrows swept into the air, intertwining into a rain of arrows in the air. After a while, the rain of arrows in the sky, with huge inertia, like raindrops, roared down towards the Xianbei iron cavalry that galloped to the ground, penetrated into the Xianbei army, stabbed into the bodies of one Hu people after another, and slaughtered these alien races who dared to invade the Han Dynasty.
In an instant, an endless rain of arrows poured down, shooting coldly at the surging Xianbei cavalry, and from time to time the Xianbei soldiers fell off their horses. At the same time, the crossbow arrows in the rear also came from the sky, and the double blow brought by the bow and arrow crossbow was vividly played at this moment, and the Xianbei cavalry densely packed in front of the Han army was shot indiscriminately, and many Xianbei cavalry were killed by several arrows and died immediately.
For the Xianbei people at this moment, the distance of about dozens of steps in front of them seems to be instantaneous, but it is difficult to reach the sky, and every inch of their progress has to pay the price of blood.
Finally, after suffering some casualties that had to be experienced, the Xianbei approached the front of the Han army, and they howled and rushed towards the horse-rejecting spears in front of the Han army. As long as it passes, the Han people will be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they will be slaughtered and ravaged by the warriors of the steppe.
The cavalry in the front row of Xianbei held scimitars in their hands, roared wildly, and rode their horses forward, and the tight shield wall of the Han army and the rows of sharp horse-rejecting spears protruding from the shield wall were already close at hand. But these Xianbei cavalry did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and at this time, there was only a simple but crazy thought in their minds.
Rushing up, even the people and horses rushed up, chiseled through the Han army's formation, knocked the horse-rejecting spear away, and made a way for the Xianbei army behind, as long as it was chiseled, it could kill all the Han people inside, and kill them all.
"Poof! Burst! Poof......"
"Puff! Swell! Bulging ......"
The frenzied Xianbei cavalry finally rushed to the Han army's horse rejection array, and the sharp horse-rejecting spears instantly pierced hundreds of Xianbei cavalry with horse spurs, but the wild momentum of the Xianbei cavalry also made the Han army's horse-rejecting spears break one after another, driven by huge inertia, the war horse that had been killed continued to run forward, and hit the incomparably solid shield wall erected by the Han army's heavy infantry soldiers, and the huge impact sound resounded in the sky in an instant.
In this huge impact sound, there was also a crisp sound of bones shattering, which was the sound of the Xianbei war horse's leg bones and neck bones being broken, and the miserable howls of the soldiers of the two armies before they died were even more endless, and hundreds of Xianbei cavalry were thrown high by the huge inertia in an instant, and when they fell rapidly from the air, they were horrified to find that waiting for them was only a piece of sharp spears that were as dense as a forest.
Under the wild charge of the Xianbei cavalry, the Han hoplites in the front row also suffered heavy casualties, although the scimitars thrown by the Xianbei cavalry before death were all blocked by the strong shield wall erected, but the Xianbei war horses that collided with the shield wall with strong inertia made them suffer enough.
The huge shield, though strong enough, relied on the bodies of the infantry, and the sharp spears that protruded from the shield walls could pierce the Xianbei cavalry, but could not stop their wild charge. Under the near-suicidal onslaught of the Xianbei cavalry, the strong shield walls were shattered, and many soldiers were knocked backwards with their shields.
On the battlefield, a group of people suddenly turned on their backs, howling miserably.
Although the Xianbei cavalry suffered heavy casualties, their charge did not stop there, and the follow-up cavalry was still crazy, and they swept away regardless of life and death. Like waves of stormy waves, continuously and viciously impacting the Han army's defensive formations, many of the Han army's heroic and resolute hoplites were either hacked to death by the Xianbei people or killed by horses, but they did not retreat at all.
The originally neat and strict Han army's spear array of horses and horses became chaotic in an instant, and if this chaos was allowed to continue to spread, if there was a moment of effort, the entire Han army formation would be completely chiseled through until it collapsed.
Que Ju, who had been in battle for a long time, keenly smelled the commotion in the formation of the Han army, and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Great Xianbei warriors, the Han army is about to collapse, show courage and kill with me!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The morale of the Xianbei cavalry was greatly boosted, shouting nonsense that the Han people could not understand, and the offensive became more and more fierce, they did not care how many people had died, and frantically stormed the shield wall, and the Han army's defense line was already crumbling at this time. After the Xianbei people slammed into it at the beginning, several gaps appeared that became larger and larger, and the Xianbei people behind took the opportunity to rush into the formation, slashing left and right, killing all the Han people around them.
In the rear of the Han army, Fuquan rode a horse to watch the battle ahead, accompanied by Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals on the left and right. Behind them, more than 4,000 elite iron horsemen of the Han army quietly reined in their horses and looked at the battle ahead, not panicked by the battle situation at all, they knew that the most terrifying thing about the Xianbei people was not their surging charge, but the outflanking cavalry on their left and right flanks.
Because in the one-on-one frontal field duel, the Han army has never been afraid of anyone, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, between the four Yi, those who dare to face the confrontation of the Han army are either turned into ashes of history, or migrated to their homeland, and the name of the strong Han is cast with the blood of thousands of aliens.
"Yun Chang, Yigong!" Looking at the Xianbei cavalry on the left and right flanks, Fu Quan said in a deep voice.
"The last general!"
"Lead two thousand cavalry to meet the Xianbei cavalry on the left flank."
"No!"
The two got on their horses and left, and Fu Quan said again: "Hansheng, Bo Jue! ”
"The last general!"
"Lead two thousand cavalry to meet the Xianbei cavalry on the right flank."
"No!"
After a while, I saw the rear of the Han army, and two iron armor torrents surged away one left and one right, and went straight to the Xianbei iron cavalry that came to me.
