Chapter 74: Duel

"Kill!" The bloodthirsty Hun warriors roared wildly, and rushed at the danger in front of them, or slammed into their shields and threw off their horses, or crossed the shield defense line and were pierced by the silver-white spear tips, and the blood splattered and dyed the sky red.

Although the pikemen fought hard to kill the enemy, the Hun warriors quickly broke their formation, and the pikemen were slaughtered by the Hun cavalry who rushed after them.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Zhao army naturally could not tolerate the Hun cavalry killing their brothers, they quickly stepped forward from the two wings and fought with the Hun cavalry who had lost their speed, so the formation of the Zhao army became a concave and convex shape like a crescent moon in the middle, and the Hun army pierced into the formation of the Zhao army like an arrow.

This was a bloody battle of spear and shield, and the key to it was whether the central Zhao army could withstand the repeated attacks of the Hun cavalry. If so, the Zhao army will be expected to exhaust the Hun cavalry in this semi-encirclement and eventually win, if not, the Hun cavalry will trample on the Chinese army, which is only a small number of troops not far away, and win a complete victory.

"Can the central Zhao army do it?" Looking at the scene in front of her, Zhao Ying asked with a worried expression.

"Absolutely! Must be able too! Zhao Jie replied with a categorical answer, and his confidence came from the central Zhao army, the Heavy Armor Army, a type of army trained by Zhao Jie specifically to deal with cavalry.

The key to the heavy armoured army's ability to fight the cavalry was the heavy weight that wrapped the soldiers' bodies and the greatsword they held in their hands, and because this set of equipment was so heavy, the soldiers usually left it idle on horses, wagons or ox carts until wartime when they put it on with the help of auxiliaries.

The sacrifice of the spear soldiers was not in vain, and their hard work gave the heavy soldiers enough time to re-equip themselves for battle, and at this moment, the heavy armoured troops were fully armed and fought hard when the enemy arrived.

"Up!" The lord gave an order, and the five hundred heavily armored soldiers drew their horse swords inserted in the dirt and lifted them to the same height, at this time the Hun cavalry was only a few dozen steps away from them.

"Slash!" The commander gave the order again, and the long knife slashed at the cavalry who happened to reach under the sword. This time, there was no scene of people neighing on the battlefield, and most of the Hun warriors and war horses were only muffled and then turned into two halves.

The latecomers were suddenly startled when they saw this bloody scene, and they immediately tried to stop the war horses, but the impact of the war horses was still there, and they once again became dead souls under the sword.

After a few times, the Hun cavalry had to rein in their horses early and hover in front of the heavy armoured army, trying to find the shortcomings of the heavy armoured army and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Enter!" The commander of the heavy armored army gave another order, and the five hundred heavy armored army immediately stepped on the same pace and slowly advanced, so it was another bloody storm.

On the upper floor of Pingcheng City, Zhao Jie used the Qianli Realm to pay attention to the fierce fighting that took place not far from the city. When the five hundred heavy armor army set off to advance, Zhao Jie quickly stuffed the Qianli Realm back into his waist, and then said to everyone around him with great spirit: "It's time for us to play!" ”

The generals understood, followed Zhao Jie, Zhao Ying and others down the city tower one after another, rode on the war horses that had been prepared for a long time, and waited for Zhao Jie's order with the soldiers under their command.

With a "boom", the drawbridge slapped powerfully on the land, once again crossing the moat, connecting the roads inside and outside the city.

"Brothers, kill with me!" Zhao Jie raised the lance in his hand, his eyes were fierce, he roared, beat his horse and left, rushing ahead of everyone.

The 500 cavalry led by Zhao Jie rushed towards the Xiongnu array like a sharp arrow, and the dust splashed by the horses' hooves rose several feet high, so that it obscured the sight of the people watching the battle on the city tower.

The Hun army found them at the first time, and the Xiongnu subordinates who were always on guard with soldiers and horses in the city immediately fought to meet the battle, one side was the horseback nation that was the best at riding and archery in this era, and the other side was the newborn calf with the equipment and combat concept of the times.

"Archer Preparation" was a similar order given by the commanders of both sides. After a breath, the arrows rained down on both sides, and the howl of the man who was wounded by the arrow and fell off his horse sounded.

The key to the cavalry assault is speed, the faster the speed, the better the effect of the assault, most of the cavalry understand this truth, so no one from Zhao Jie's department and the Hun army reviewed it, and once again invariably increased the speed of the horse.

The two armies got closer and closer, and the blow of the bow and arrow had lost its meaning, and the Hun knight decisively abandoned the bow and drew the cavalry sword beside him to prepare for a close combat.

At this time, Zhao Jie's shout sounded in Zhao Jun's camp: "Throw spears!" After another breath, hundreds of spears flew towards the Hun formation. The sharp tip of the spear pierced the chest of a frightened Hun cavalryman, and the thick shaft of the spear ruthlessly pushed the knight off the horse and nailed it to the blood-colored ground under the action of inertia. In the face of this wave of sudden attacks by the Zhao army, the Xiongnu forwards fell one after another, and the successors of the rapid impact couldn't help but stagnate, so chaos inevitably arose.

"It's quite a lance!" Zhao Jie gave the order again. After another breath, a long lance pointed straight ahead, and the tip of your sharp lance flashed silver, facing the Hun warriors of the enemy.

"Bang! Bang! ......" The sound of collision sounded one after another, and the Zhao army rushed into the Xiongnu formation at high speed.

The mallet was tightly clamped in the crook of the arm, and one hand was lightly held in front to control the direction, and Zhao Jie, who was galloping in front, took the lead in stabbing a Hun knight. The hand tightened suddenly, and the elastic lance bent slightly, and then immediately straightened, ricocheting the armor-clad enemy off the horse. With the help of the impact of the horse, such as several times, after stabbing several people, Zhao Jie held the lance with both hands, or stabbed, or thrown, or smashed, or swept, a set of lance skills to play that is called a tiger and a tiger, all the Hun soldiers in front of him died under its long lance.

However, after a few minutes, 500 people broke through the formation of nearly 1,000 Hun warriors who were facing the battle, and in front of them were thousands of Hun troops who had not yet completed the adjustment of their goals.

"Kill!" Zhao Jie, who was covered in blood, roared, and resolutely rushed into the formation of the Hun army again, his bloodthirsty eyes couldn't help but make people a little frightened.

At the same time, in the opposite direction, the cavalry deployed by Zhao Yin also rushed into the Xiongnu formation, but their weapons were roughly the same as the Xiongnu army, and they were all sharp cavalry swords that were conducive to close combat on horses.

The news that the Xiongnu army's attack was blocked and the Zhao army's two-line breakthrough soon reached Zhamuhe's ears. Although Zhamu and the generals who guarded him couldn't believe it, after seeing the truth with their own eyes, they couldn't help but think of fleeing again.
