Chapter 385: Xiliang Military Song
Although he had already been mentally prepared for the speed of the God Speed Battalion, when he saw it with his own eyes, Liu He couldn't help but be shocked.
The same heavily armored iron cavalry, the cavalry of these Shensu battalions was far faster than the charge of Chengdu Wei, and in the blink of an eye, the leading ten cavalry had rushed to the center of the valley.
"Even in Xiliang, I have never seen such a swift cavalry." Rao is Ma Chao, who has been galloping in Xiliang for many years, and he can't help but sigh.
Pang De, who had been silent, suddenly reminded on the side: "At the moment, what we should be most worried about is probably not the speed of the other party, but this cavalry, all of which are heavily armored iron horses." ”
When the few people in front of the formation heard this, they all looked shocked.
Cao Cao dominates the north, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, as a well-known general under Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan is already famous, and the Shensu battalion under his command is even more well-equipped, and the arrows shot by Ma Chao's pro-military battalion who are good at archery are almost useless for these heavily armored cavalry.
Judging from this situation, when this Shensu battalion rushed out of the valley, the casualties probably would not exceed 10%, which was far less than half of the previous Cao army's damage.
In other words, this round of charge of the Shensu Battalion will only pay a small price.
On Han Yi's side, it was not so easy.
The Cao army that his Chengdu Wei faced before, although it was also an elite unit in the Cao army, compared to this Shensu battalion under Xiahou Yuan, the combat power could be described as a world of difference.
Before rushing out of the valley, more than half of the casualties had been killed, coupled with the mutual trampling of men and horses when they fell to the ground and the impact on the morale of the army, although the previous battle of Chengdu Wei was also very difficult, but he never encountered too much danger.
And once the almost undamaged Shensu battalion in front of him breaks out of the valley, then not only the Chengdu guards in front, but even those archers in the rear will immediately be in danger.
The cavalry's charge was already extremely powerful, and the cavalry of these Shensu battalions were all heavily armored iron cavalry, once they were allowed to maintain the momentum of the charge and rush out of the valley, then even Chengdu Wei, who was also a heavy armored iron cavalry, would be completely impossible to resist such a powerful attack.
Looking at the Shensu battalion in the valley that was rushing towards him like a flood, Liu He suddenly realized that the only way at the moment was to rush into the valley first before his side lost the charging advantage, and have a hard-to-head battle with the Shensu battalion in the valley.
Two heavily armored iron horsemen marching at full speed met in a narrow road in a valley that could only accommodate ten war horses, and the tragic consequences could be imagined.
In Liu He's mind, a bloody scene of flesh and blood suddenly appeared.
However, just when Liu He shuddered, Han Yi had already walked in front of the Chengdu Guard Formation, raised his right hand high, and made a gesture.
No refund.
In the narrow valley, there is no way to retreat, Han Yi is telling those Chengdu Wei cavalry to charge with all their might, even if those waiting in front are shattered.
What shocked Liu He was not Han Yi's gestures, but looking at his posture, it was clear that he wanted to be at the forefront by himself!
Even people who don't understand military affairs and don't know martial arts can understand in this situation that rushing into the valley at this time, especially the person who rushes to the front, will definitely die.
"Han Yi, you ......" Liu He blurted out, but he didn't know how to keep this confidant in front of the whole army.
Han Yi, who was still holding his right hand high, slowly turned his head and looked at Liu He, but did not speak.
"Back then, he swore an oath in front of all the Han family troops, and when he saw this gesture, he would charge forward." A young Chengdu Wei said suddenly.
Liu He looked at the young Chengdu Wei, who had never had a trace of cowardice in the bitter battle for days, and when he said this, he was already in tears.
Liu He finally understood what was the flickering in Han Yi's eyes when he looked at him just now.
Perfection, he Han Yi is asking himself for a fulfillment, a horse leather shroud, and the consummation of dying on the battlefield.
Liu He slowly raised his hand, but stopped in mid-air, he knew that as long as he waved his hand lightly, there would be no Han Yi in this world from now on.
He really wanted to say something to save him, but if he didn't do it, not only Han Yi and those Chengdu guards, but also those archers behind him, and those soldiers in the rear, everyone would die under the iron hooves of Cao Jun.
Liu He closed his eyes, trying not to let his surging emotions turn into tears pouring out of his eyes, at this time, as the commander of the whole army, every tear he shed will become the initiator of shaking the army's heart.
I didn't even have time to say goodbye, I didn't even have time to drink a glass of wine to see off, and if I couldn't say anything, I would never see him again.
Liu He's hand was always raised in the air, unable to move, and he looked expressionless, and his heart was already dripping blood.
A powerful big hand suddenly held Liu He's hand, Liu He opened his eyes and looked, it turned out to be Ma Chao.
"Sir, don't worry, there's no need for Captain Han to put his life in danger." Ma Chao said, glancing at Pang De on the side.
Pound immediately picked up a hard bow and shot an arrow into the sky behind him.
That arrow was also a ringing arrow, and the sound was even more piercing than Xiahou Yuan's Mingdi.
With this piercing sound, the archers in Ma Chao's own camp suddenly moved out of the way, and then a cavalry numbering about three or four hundred appeared in everyone's sight.
"Speaking of not being afraid of death, who dares to shout in front of our Xiliang boys!" Ma Chao suddenly raised the spear in his hand and let out an amazing roar.
When the Xiliang cavalry heard Ma Chao's roar, as if they had heard a military order, they began to accelerate almost at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the valley.
Looking at the Xiliang cavalry that rushed into the valley, Ma Chao's eyes were already bloodshot, he slapped his horse and came to the war drum, thrust his spear into the ground, and picked up the drumstick.
"Come on, let them see the bloodiness of our Xiliang boys!" After that, Ma Chao withdrew from his military uniform, exposed his upper body, and personally beat a Xiliang war drum.
Ma Dai and Pound looked at each other and smiled, and Pound immediately sang loudly.
"Batch iron armor, carry a long knife. The battle with the son is long. ”
Ma Dai then sang: "Fight with the enemy, die and live together." Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack. ”
Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers from Xiliang sang loudly together.
Batch of iron armor, carrying a long knife. The battle with the son is long.
Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.
Step on the swallow and go to Xiliang. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly.
A Xiliang military song resounded throughout the valley, and in the valley, there were already people on their backs.
As soon as the horsemen of the two sides met, they immediately collided with each other to a blur of flesh and blood, and the flying blood splashed on the faces of the horsemen who arrived later, and they did not even wipe it, and collided with each other's horsemen again, and both were killed instantly.
