Chapter 297: (Bloody Battle I)

"Order the archers to release their arrows, don't spare the arrows for Lone, and shoot them all..."

Zhang Bu straddled the horse in the middle of the Chinese army, on a high slope, you can clearly see the Cheng Dynasty army formation a few miles away in the distance, the number of Cheng Dynasty troops in front of him is at most 20,000, and behind him is 100,000 troops, and Zhang Shou's 30,000 foot soldiers in the north, plus Zhang Lan's 50,000 foot cavalry army that is galloping on the road in the east, swallowing this 20,000 people, completely digested.

"Su Mao, take your former army camp and rush up to Lone..."

Su Mao, who was on the side, saluted Zhang Bu with a fist, then immediately took the long knife from the hands of the guards, patted his horse and headed towards the front army.

'Whoosh whoosh...'

The rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun and came towards Li Yanqing's military formation.

"Royal..."

"Phew..."

After a loud sound, the shield bearers raised their big shields one after another, and according to the training, they were formed by a hundred households, and a hundred people needed fifty big shielders, and the raised shields formed a rectangle, and the soldiers of the team were strictly protected under the big shields...

'Ding Ding Ding...' sounded a series of arrows hitting the steel surface of the shield, except for a few gaps that happened to be shot along the gaps, the entire array basically caused no casualties, and the attack of the arrow rain lasted for a whole time of incense...

"Zhang Bu Lao'er is really rich, if you release arrows like this, I guess there are no arrows in your hand..."

Zhang Xiong and Li Yanqing were in the same military formation, and the ridicule at this time made Li Yanqing laugh, but then he became serious again: "General Zhang, the defense of the front army will depend on you later, and we will hold on here for at least three days..."

Zhang Xiong shook his arms and said with a smile: "General Zheng, rest assured, the defense of the front army is handed over to the general, and if you want to enter the defense line of the Chinese army, you need to step over the corpse of the general..."

"Whoa..."

Order, all the shield arrays returned to their positions, each returned to their own formation, because after the rain of arrows, everyone knew that the main event had just begun, Su Mao took the 30,000 military horses of the headquarters forward, less than three miles away from Li Yanqing's department, and the 5,000 cavalry of the front army were ready, and they could charge when they gave the order.

Su Mao, dressed in red armor, rode on a horse, pointed at his long knife, and shouted: "Cavalry, attack..."

"Kill..."

The sound of horses' hooves cracking the sky sounded, and they killed towards the military formation of the Cheng Dynasty army, everyone knew that no matter how the infantry lined up, they could not stop the impact of the cavalry, Su Mao thought the same in his heart, when the impact speed of the horse reached a critical point, even if the horse's head was cut off, the impact like a thousand catties was enough to kill an adult, and after the first wave of cavalry impact, the 25,000 foot soldiers under his command followed closely to carry out the harvesting battle.

When the cavalry of the Red Eyebrow Army crossed the position of the positioning arrow, the commander of the defense command of the front army waved his sword: "Release the arrow..."

"Whoosh..."

This time it was the turn of the Cheng Dynasty Army's arrow rain towards Su Mao's cavalry, and the number of arrows was suddenly as high as hundreds, but because the horse's running speed was too fast, after the first wave of arrow rain, the remaining thousands of Chimei Army cavalry were only a hundred steps away from the first big shield hand of the front army, and this distance, the cavalry could be reached in a word.

"Prepare..."

'Bang Bang...'

The soldiers of the first, second, and third lines of the front army have tilted the big shield back at a 45-degree angle, and the pikemen behind him immediately stretched out the five-meter-long steel spear along the shield mouth, and the big shield hand held the shield in his left hand and held it against his shoulder, and his right hand pulled out the Yanling knife at his waist and held it behind the shield, ready to resist the impact of the cavalry...

'Knock knock...'

A series of loud noises resounded in the sky, and countless mixed screams of men and horses sounded, and the defense of the first line of the front army was basically broken, but it also blocked the first wave of the cavalry of the Red Mei Army, and the thousands of cavalry that followed rushed towards the second line, still suffering heavy casualties, and then stopped before the distance of the spears of the third line.

As I said before, the impact of the cavalry is not comparable to ordinary people, and the impact force is unimaginable, but the disadvantage is that once the first wave of impact is blocked, the cavalry behind will lose the distance to rush forward, and then a melee will begin.

Hundreds of sergeants on the first line of the front army were basically wiped out, most of the dead and wounded on the second line, and there were no casualties on the third line, blocking the onslaught of the cavalry, and the order came immediately.

"Shoot the arrows..."

Behind the third line of the front army were rows of archers and crossbowmen, and all the cavalry at this time were blocked in the second line, because the dead and wounded cavalry in front made it impossible for the subsequent cavalry to charge, and could only turn in place.

'Flutter...'

The first sound of an arrow hitting the flesh was followed by numerous screams, and, of course, the neighing of horses.

After the rain of arrows, the cavalry under Su Mao's command suffered 3,000 casualties, and the remaining 2,000 people had to turn their horses and retreat, because at this time the archers had run out of arrows and needed follow-up replenishment.

However, before the first cavalry could turn, the order sounded again: "Throw..."

'Whew...'

The sound of the parabolic spears in the air was no longer a thin stream of water, but like a bellows, with a terrible sound, towards the only two thousand cavalry left under Su Mao's command.

Needless to say, the ending was pierced by spears, and only a dozen cavalry were left who fled back, and the whole army was wiped out...

"Huh... Ha... Ha... Hah..."

Four sounds of celebration erupted in the formation of the Cheng Dynasty, and then calm returned, and the officers and men of the former army pulled away the dead bodies, cleaned up the defense line, and once again constructed three lines of defense and set up a defensive front.

Zhang Bu frowned on the high slope, five thousand elite cavalry, not even touching the opponent's hair, the whole army was annihilated, this face was too big, and then trembling and said to the herald: "Go and tell Su Mao that you can't take this Cheng Dynasty army, let him bring his head to see me..."

"No..."

Su Mao was even more furious at this time, the five thousand cavalry under his command were the elite of the large battalion of the army, and at this moment, only a dozen horsemen were killed, and the whole army was wiped out, even if he won this battle, he would be laughed to death by his colleagues, and he didn't even touch the opponent.

"General Su, the king has an order, you must take down this enemy army, otherwise you will come to see you..."

"Got it..."

Su Mao's cold tone made the guards beside him a little frightened, looking at the Cheng Dynasty army that was forming a formation not far away, he raised his spear and shouted: "Soldiers, kill..."

"Kill..."

Hulala, a large crowd of people came towards Li Yanqing, if you look at it from the air, it is a flood rushing towards a dam, whether it can be stopped depends on whether the embankment is repaired well.

"Shoot the arrows..."

There were too many arrows, and they were also sent by Zhang Bu, and after shooting his own arrows, an archer picked up the arrows shot by the Red Eyebrow soldiers on the ground and returned them to them.

Several waves of arrows rained down, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded in the front of the charging Red Mei Army, and then they rushed to the front of the first line of defense of the front army.

The sound of the metal colliding is particularly harsh, but it is the god of death in a duel, if you don't die, I will die, the shield hand on the front line of the front line waved the Yanling knife in his hand, and slashed the Red Eyebrow Army who rushed in front of the big shield, and the five-meter spearman then stabbed the Red Eyebrow Army in front.

"Order the front army to rush over for me, the enemy's defense line is weak, even if the wall is used, Lao Tzu must break through..."

When the soldiers in front heard this, they rushed towards the first line of defense of the front army...
