Chapter 266: The First Bloody Battle

It is said that Guangluxun Lu Bu, the general Xu Rong of the Dianjun Zhonglang, and the three generals of the Fujun Zhonglang Huaxiong led 50,000 cavalry to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the spies in front reported that the Wei general He Xian led more than 10,000 people to challenge.

"He's boy, he is so bold that he actually underestimated my Xiliang Iron Ride! Wen Hou, the last general is willing to lead 5,000 troops, and come down to the pass to take the head of the child! Hua Xiong shouted loudly and asked Lu Bu to fight. Li Dao, Guo Yan and Hua Xiong have good friends, and their deaths have always made Hua Xiong haunted, and he has no chance to take revenge. Now that He Xian has sent it to the door, how can Hua Xiong endure it?

"General Hua, don't underestimate the enemy, be careful of the enemy's tricks!" Xu Rong felt that He Xian dared to be a pioneer, and he must have something to rely on, so it was better to be careful.

But Lu Bu didn't think so! I think that at the beginning, Lu Bu also once served under the He family, and he needed to look at He Xian's face to act. Now, Lu Bu has been ranked in Jiuqing, Feng Wenhou, and his official position is still above He Xian. He had long wanted to step on He Xian to vent his unhappiness.

"Accurate!" Lu Bu ignored Xu Rong's opinion and agreed that Hua Xiong would lead troops into battle.

……

"Enemy attack!"

Ten miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, I heard that the Xiliang cavalry was assembling under the pass, and the marching Nanyang Army sounded a terrible alarm. He Xian originally wanted to fight with the Xiliang Army, but the purpose of the comparison seemed to be about to be in the soup.

"Wen Ping led three thousand Nanyang soldiers as the front army, with spears and big shields in front and crossbows in the back!"

"Wei Yan led three thousand Nanyang soldiers as the left army, with heavy troops in front and light infantry behind!"

"Gao Shun led the three thousand trapping camp as the right army, with the sword and shield hands in front and the hook inlay soldiers behind!"

"Zhang Liao led three thousand Bingzhou flying cavalry to retreat one mile as a rear army, and listen to my orders to prepare for an attack!"

"The pro-guard battalion will sit in the Chinese army to meet the enemy!"

In the tent of the Chinese army, He Xian quickly arranged the general order. The generals responded to the "promise" one after another and stepped forward to receive the order.

The Xiliang Army attacked without scruples, clearly not taking the Nanyang Army in his eyes.

"Let the Xiliang Army see the majesty of my Nanyang Army!" He Xian viciously admonished.

"The Nanyang Army will win!" The generals shouted loudly and quickly went out of the tent to arrange. In less than a stick of incense, on the vast plain, the Xiliang army formed a large plum blossom-shaped array, waiting for the attack of the Xiliang army.

The sound of horses' hooves roared, and a huge banner with the word "Hua" was waved in the wind, and the Xiliang Army led the cavalry shooting, which opened the prelude to the vanguard war!

The Nanyang army came prepared this time, there was no shortage of shields, and the arrows that covered the sky and the sun seemed to be extremely terrifying, but in fact, the lethality of Nanyang County was extremely limited. After resisting the first wave of arrows of the Xiliang Army, Wen Ping commanded the crossbow battalion to take the lead in launching a counterattack. Thousands of crossbow arrows roared towards the Xiliang army array. This is a battle between military formations, and the repeater only needs to grasp the general direction, and there is no need to aim at all.

The first wave of 1,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Hua Xiong's command had neat protective gear and well-equipped, and even the war horses had a certain drape, although they could not reach the level of heavy cavalry, they could be regarded as light cavalry with a strengthened version of defense. It is the trump card in the Xiliang Army that is specially used to impact the infantry camp, and it is invincible. They used hand shields to protect the vital points and resist the crossbow arrows of the Nanyang army. All of a sudden, there were casualties on both sides. Arrows have become the main theme on the battlefield. After losing 20% of the troops, the Xiliang army successfully advanced to the front of the Nanyang army.

Hua Xiong smiled coldly, waved the battle flag, and another thousand Xiliang Iron rode out of the battle and began to slowly accelerate towards the Nanyang Army. Hua Xiong thought that the first wave of iron cavalry would definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Nanyang army, so the second wave of thousands of cavalry could break through to the Chinese army, and if he was lucky, he could directly destroy the enemy army, and then the army would cover up and harvest the first rank. With this set of cavalry tactics, Hua Xiong once defeated tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves with a thousand troops. Now that Hua Xiong had 5,000 iron cavalry, he asked himself that it was more than enough to defeat He Xian's more than 10,000 Nanyang troops.

But the reality surprised Huaxiong!

The spear and big shield soldiers in the front of the Nanyang Army inserted the tail of the gun obliquely into the ground, and the head of the gun was obliquely upwards at forty-five degrees, forming a dense forest of sharp iron, and then using the big shield to protect the body, forming a dense formation, and resisting the impact of the Xiliang Army with the body. The Nanyang soldiers in the first row and the second row, under the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, vomited blood and flew back, suffering heavy damage, but they used their lives to reduce the speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. By the time these Xiliang Iron Cavalry hit the third row, the speed of the war horse was no longer enough to hit the big shield, so the casualties of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry increased sharply.

This is a life-for-life style of play, the reason is simple, but it is difficult to do. Few foot soldiers can dare to use their bodies to resist high-speed galloping horses when facing the impact of iron horses. Once the front line can't hold it and the gap opens, the continuous Xiliang cavalry can continue to break through the gap, and the entire infantry camp will collapse like an avalanche.

But this time, the Nanyang Army did it and resisted! Seeing that the Nanyang soldiers in the third row withstood the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the pikemen of the fourth and fifth rows rushed forward one after another to fill the gap in the third row. For every Nanyang soldier who dies, there is always the next Nanyang soldier who will make up for it instantly. More and more Xiliang iron cavalry died in battle, and the gathering of war horses and corpses has become an obstacle to the smooth advance of the subsequent cavalry.

Hua Xiong never thought that Nanyang Bing would be so fierce.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~" Seeing that it was difficult to receive the effect of the frontal impact, Hua Xiong did not hesitate to send two thousand cavalry teams, divided into left and right sides, to attack the flanks of the Nanyang Army. Hua Xiong's intention was obvious, trying to create invisible pressure on the Nanyang front army through pressure on both sides, forcing them to give up resistance and flee after collapse. Among Hua Xiong's 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry in full body armor, all of which were thrown into the first wave of frontal attacks, and the remaining 4,000 cavalry were all light cavalry, and the impact was not so terrifying.

"Nanyang is stepping forward, slashing the horse!" On the left flank of the Nanyang Army, Wei Yan's five hundred heavy soldiers, heavily armored and holding a sword, chanted slogans, opened up the space, and fearlessly launched a confrontation mode with the Xiliang light cavalry. Chopping the horse sword, also called the chopping sword. The Qinglong Glaive Knife, Wei Yan's Red Blood Knife, and Huang Zhong's Phoenix Mouth Knife are all evolved on the basis of the Horse Slashing Sword. In the Tang Dynasty, on the basis of the horse chopping knife, it developed into a Mo knife, and its prestige spread throughout Central Asia. The horse chopping knife weighs fifteen pounds, is seven feet long, the blade is three feet long, the handle is four feet long, and the bottom is drilled with iron. Lux persists, and those who spin and block with waist force are all powder.

More than 500 swords slashed at the same time, like a whirlwind, killing everyone and splitting horses. Human organs and stumps flew wildly, blood splattered, and the scene was so tragic that it was still above the front army. Seeing that Wei Yan was behind the heavy step, his blood boiled, and he handed over the last line of defense to Sima of the army, and led a thousand pikemen to block the Xiliang light cavalry that had slipped through the net.

"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!" On the right wing of the Nanyang Army, Gao Shun's trapping camp was divided into six divisions with 500 people, and each division was staggered between the front and back, left and right, and divided into three lines of defense. And the five hundred men of each part formed a dense circle with shields, like the three hundred warriors of Sparta. It's just that this is the warrior of the big Han's trapped camp! Because the formation was extremely tight, the Xiliang cavalry on a single horse crashed into the circular shield array, and it couldn't shake the circular formation even a bit. And the hooks, single knives, and short spears that bounced out of the side of the circle array would take the opportunity to take the lives of the Xiliang soldiers.
