Chapter 565: The Great Han Iron Rider (Five Watches)
"Attack!"
As a sound wave burst out of the heavy soldiers in unison dispersed, Cao Chun's conical formation also collided with the cavalry of the eldest prince. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The collision of war knives with war knives, the interweaving of courage and blood.
"Kill!" Cao Chun's war knife was waved left and right, and one after another the rebel soldiers who passed by Cao Chun fell off their horses, and then were trampled into meat by the flying horses' hooves.
Cavalry duel, and it is a cavalry duel in formation. The knights who formed the formation didn't need to care if there was an enemy missing, they just needed to charge, swing their swords, charge, and swing their swords...... Just keep repeating one action. Because, the brother in the back will constantly urge the brother in front to advance, and any enemy who is lucky enough to escape his sword will also greet him in the back.
There are many tactics that can crack such a formation, but it is very difficult for the rebels of the Great Prince, who are now scattered. They can only use their bodies to block the enemy's attack, and then use their swords to take advantage of the gap in the enemy's attack to kill and injure the enemy.
To put it bluntly, this is just a battle of courage and a war of attrition. Whichever side of the warrior is the first to be timid and the first to be exhausted, that is defeat. However, the Han cavalry that formed the formation, although there were only two hundred cavalry, was much stronger than the rebel army of the eldest prince.
The soldiers in the back only need to take care of the enemy from one direction, while Cao Chun, who is at the front, has to constantly divide the enemy army into two parts. The enemy army group as a whole is forcibly divided into two halves.
Cao Chun's cone formation is like a battleship moving extremely fast in the waves, Cao Chun is the collision angle of the battleship, constantly breaking the huge waves that rush over, and then the hull will take advantage of this breakthrough to continue to open the gap of the huge waves.
Here, Cao Chun and the enemy army are opposite, that is, they collide head-on. "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." Many people's first thought when they see a speeding car in front of them is to dodge. And Cao Chun's car was thinking that he was going to kill his enemies. Therefore, all the rebel knights who saw Cao Chun were subconsciously dodging Cao Chun's blade, but they forgot that even if they dodged Cao Chun, there was still a huge battleship body behind Cao Chun, with sharp spikes on it!
A rebel knight managed to evade Cao Chun's attack and passed by Cao Chun, but there was still an enemy army in front of him. Because of the fright just now, the cold sweat didn't have time to save the pores, and the enemy's war knife came again! This time, he wasn't so lucky. The sharp sword slashed through his chest, and the strength in his hand increased for some reason, and finally the knight fell to the ground with the warhorse? There was no time to slow down at all, but there were only two options for him, either jump up and dodge, or swing his body over. However, one soldier jumped over, and the second soldier jumped over, but the third and fourth soldiers would have the time to react to avoid the squirting cells lying on the ground.
Therefore, when the cavalry is charging, once the horse is dropped, the chance of survival is infinitely zero!
In the blink of an eye, the Praetorian Guard soldiers who were pressing behind found that the rebel army of the eldest prince had drowned out the 200 cavalry from the Great Han. Now presented to them were the somewhat overwhelmed rebel cavalry.
Cao Chun's conical formation had been completely nailed into the cavalry of the Great Prince, and they who were lucky not to be slaughtered by the swords were now hesitating whether they should continue to attack forward, or turn their horses' heads and burrow into their large array to find those powerful Han cavalry. They hesitated, but the Praetorian Guards, who were lined up, did not.
"Archer prepare!" A Zhang Jin bow was pulled into a full moon in an instant, "Put!" ”
The merciless arrow quickly pierced through the body of the rebel knight who was still hesitating. They were awakened by a terrible scream, and they no longer hesitated, and with a squeeze of their horses' bellies, the blades of their swords pointed at the Praetorian Guards, who were waiting for them.
The rebels finally came to their senses, but Cao Chun, who had already been nailed into the enemy army, had no chance to hesitate at all. The two hundred men behind him were not only his brothers, not only his compatriots, but also his relatives of the same kindred. As long as Cao Chun made a small mistake, then these two hundred people would be drowned in the sea of enemy troops, and they would never recover. And now Cao Chun's task is how to lead them in, and how to lead them out.
Don't think that Cao Chun's conical formation is half of the victory as long as it penetrates into the enemy group, and the rest is to control the war horse and then the enemy crowd to rampage, and then wave the knife, and then kill a few people by the way when they pass through the enemy group.
It's easy to poke a piece of tofu with a sharp knife, but if you stab it on an iron plate, it will break yourself. Nothing in the world has weaknesses, and even if it is now unsolvable, it is just that its weakness has not been found for the time being. The same is true for the cone formation. In a cone formation, the hardest, sharpest positions are the front and sides. The apex of the front end is responsible for attacking, breaking through and slicing through the enemy, and then expanding the results from the sides.
And behind the cone array is the weakness of the cone array. The knights were all riding their horses and charging forward, and a few soldiers would be engrossed in watching the attack from behind.
But now, because the soldiers on both sides are walking opposite each other, they are in a state of charging each other. The speed of the galloping war horse was very fast, and because of the flying sand from the horse's hooves, when the knights of the eldest prince wanted to turn around, the Han horsemen who had just killed them in a bloody way had already run away, and they had no time or opportunity to attack the butt of this conical formation. And if they forcibly turn around, it will definitely cause chaos for the compatriots behind them, and there are arrows of the Praetorian Guard above their heads that continue to harvest their lives. Therefore, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and take arrows against the Janissaries who were lined up just now.
Now Cao Chun has penetrated deep into the interior of the enemy army, and it stands to reason that if Cao Chun changes direction slightly, the trajectory of his cone formation will increase, and in that case, the number of enemies killed and injured will also increase. But Cao Chun didn't dare. Why, it's because another weakness of the cone formation is on the wings.
The task of the wings is to follow the movement of the cells in front of them, and then continue to expand the results to the sides. They attack in front of the left or in front of the right. And if there's an attack from the side, right, or left, it's ......! And if there are many people, there is no need to worry about this shortcoming, but there are only two hundred people behind Cao Chun. It was precisely for this reason that Cao Chun could only control the war horse to constantly attack forward. If Cao Chun changed the direction relatively largely, it would not be very difficult for his cone formation to be cut off by the enemy. Therefore, Cao Chun had no choice but to continue to rush forward until he penetrated the enemy formation.
The red and black dragons continued to rush forward without picking up the momentum, and the knights who encountered such a powerful attack for the first time couldn't help but tremble. Many people understand that fighting a war will accumulate military merits, and if you have military merits, you will be rewarded, and if you have a reward, you will live a good life, but even your life is gone, what is the use of a good or bad day?
And in such a short period of time, the general of the Praetorian Guard also appeared on the edge of the battlefield with a large army, without the slightest hesitation or mercy.
"Attack!"
