Chapter 137: The Iron Eagle Swordsman is now killed or wounded
Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce! Qin has a sharp soldier, who competes with it!
Looking at the cavalry of the thousand Qin army, he took the initiative to attack his five thousand elephant cavalry, and listened to the sound of the thousand Qin army singing happily. Gupta felt a chill down his spine inexplicably. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He looked at these soldiers of the Qin army, and there was a burst of fear in his heart!
How so? How can it be? The enemy military district has a thousand men and horses, how can he be afraid of them? This is ridiculous! Mengla. Gupta Qiang calmed down and told himself that in the next moment, his five thousand elephant horses would be able to crush and kill all the thousand Qin troops, leaving no one behind!
And the Qin Army's Iron Eagle Swordsmen, under the leadership of Sima Zhi, are not the commonly used Yanxiang formation or the one-word long snake formation, nor are they the Qin army's commonly used cavalry method of covering up and killing in batches one by one. Instead, they were lined up in front of each other, every Qin Army Iron Eagle swordsman was a wall, and every Iron Eagle swordsman was an unsheathed sword.
At this time, the distance between the armies of the two sides was slowly approaching, and it was less than 50 zhang. I saw the war horse under the crotch of the Qin army, and the running speed had weakened, and it was obvious that the Qin army's war horse saw the elephant opposite, and the cowardice rooted in the animal nature had begun to slowly breed and spread.
You must know that although war horses have been domesticated for thousands of years, they have become the greatest help on the battlefield. But after all, it is a beast, how can you not be timid when you see this natural enemy-like elephant? If you are cowardly, how can you fight and kill?
Even if they can barely fight, these elephants weigh thousands of catties one by one, and they run with terrifying momentum, and they can knock the war horse to death in just one moment, how can the Qin army still fight? In this way, the Qin army has a chance of winning in this battle?
Gupta Dynasty Commander Mengla. When Gupta saw this scene, he finally put his mind at ease and thought to himself what had happened to him just now? In such a situation, with 5,000 elephants riding with such an advantage, what do you have to worry about, what do you have to be afraid of?
At this moment, I only heard Sima Zhi shouting "blindfolded horses"! A thousand Qin Army Iron Eagle swordsmen took out a piece of black cloth one after another according to the order and covered the eyes of the war horse under their crotch.
The eyes of the Qin army's war horses were covered, and they couldn't see the five thousand elephants opposite, so they naturally couldn't be timid. Although it is quite inconvenient for the war horse to move around after being blindfolded, it is not a big deal to be controlled by the extraordinary riding skills of this thousand iron eagle swordsman and blessed by stirrups.
Besides, this kind of combat method is not unpracticed by the Iron Eagle swordsmen of the Qin Army. This kind of tactics emphasizes the resurrection after death, and the war horse is only used as a help for the first round of charge, and as for the battle after the first round of charge, it relies on the extraordinary force of the Iron Eagle swordsman. Whether the war horse is easy to command or not is not so important!
Just when the distance between the two sides was less than 30 zhang, Sima Zhi ordered: "Iron Eagle swordsmen, raise the lance"!
A thousand Iron Eagle swordsmen brushed their lances in one hand, holding them at their waists, keeping them level with their bodies. This action is extremely perfect, as if this thousand iron eagle swordsman has become a person at this time, which makes people can't help but praise loudly.
"Steady! Steady! Sima directly issued orders in succession, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, 20 zhang, 10 zhang, and 5 zhang.
Qin Feng and the others on the Liuya Mountain, the 200,000 troops of the Gupta Dynasty, held their breath one by one at this moment, and looked at the two cavalry teams that were about to collide with each other with wide eyes.
At the moment when the two teams were about to collide together, Sima Zhi shouted: "One, two, stab"! He stabbed out the eight long lances in his hands, and a thousand iron eagle swordsmen followed and stabbed forward with their spears. In just one moment, the Gupta Dynasty 5,000 elephants rode a full 1,000 people, who were pierced through the chest by this handle and eight long lances, and the residual strength of the long lance was not reduced, and they died directly through the chest!
And the Qin army, a thousand iron eagle swordsmen, and the war horses under their crotches also collided with these five thousand elephants. The power of this collision cannot be underestimated, and the 1,000 war horses of the Qin army were all smashed into pieces and killed by these 5,000 elephants.
Mengla. Gupta looked at all this in front of him, although he felt sorry for the cavalry who died in battle, but seeing that all the Qin army's war horses were killed by his elephant horse, the last trace of worry in his heart could finally be abandoned!
Although the Qin army accurately assassinated its own 1,000 cavalry in the first round of killing, the Qin army did not suffer any casualties. But at this time all their horses fell to death, and they rode five thousand elephants, and although they were killed and wounded a thousand, there were still four thousand elephants to ride. Can the cavalry of the Qin army, who lost their horses, still cope with the next second and third rounds of killing?
Cavalry is different from heavy armor soldiers, heavy armor soldiers have heavy armor and shield protection, and more military formation to help protect them, which can withstand the cavalry charge. But once the cavalry loses its horses, will it still have combat power? The situation on the battlefield is so abrupt, I am afraid that in two or three more rounds, this thousand Qin army will be wiped out.
It's in Mengla. The moment Gupta smiled on his face, the battle situation changed dramatically on the battlefield in the distance.
The 1,000 Iron Eagle swordsmen on the battlefield did not fall to the ground together with the fallen war horses, and were trampled to death by the 5,000 elephants. But at the moment when the war horses under the crotch fell, they threw away the eight long lances in their hands one by one, held the Qin sword in their hands, and used a slight force on their feet, and jumped up from the horse's back, and rushed straight to the nearest elephant horse.
The Gupta Dynasty elephant cavalry, where has he ever seen this kind of fighting? Is this still cavalry? The horses are dead, and you don't fall off the horse, but you can still jump up in the air and pounce on them to fight alone.
The Gupta Dynasty elephant cavalry, which was targeted by a thousand Qin army iron eagle swordsmen, looked at these Qin army cavalry that fell from the sky like eagles pounced on rabbits, and hurriedly dodged in a panic. But between such lightning sparks, where can it be avoided.
In just a short moment, this thousand iron eagle swordsmen killed hundreds of enemy elephant cavalry on the spot. I saw hundreds of heads, and in this instant, they flew up to the sky diagonally, and blood gushed out from the severed neck like a fountain, and the scene was extremely tragic and spectacular.
And the Qin army's 1,000 iron eagle swordsmen, there were also dozens, who were killed by enemy elephants, or when killed, they were stabbed to death by other elephant cavalry, who combined forces to kill with spears. The death of these dozens of Iron Eagle swordsmen was the first time that the Qin army had appeared in this iron-blooded campaign that lasted for more than half a year.
Mengla. Gupta turned pale at this time, looking at all this on the battlefield in front of him, and couldn't believe that these were true. The cavalry lost its horses, but could it still have such combat power? Are these Qin Jun really human? How could a mortal have such force?
And the remaining more than 3,000 elephants rode forward, and they had already rushed out of more than 100 zhang away. And Sima Zhi, who was standing in a pool of blood among the corpses, and more than 900 Qin Army Iron Eagle swordsmen, looked at the war horses under their feet and the corpses of dozens of brothers beside them, and their eyes showed sadness.
At this time, the more than 3,000 elephant riders who had already rushed out of hundreds of zhang had slowly stopped their tracks, and began to let the elephants turn around, and began the second round of charging towards the more than 900 Qin soldiers who had lost their horses.
At this time, these elephant cavalry were also red-eyed, they would never believe it, and they couldn't believe that in this land of Tianzhu, there were still cavalry that could be the opponents of elephant cavalry. But such a terrible opponent, they met today. Not only did they encounter, but they were killed by a mere thousand cavalry, killing nearly forty percent of their elephant cavalry.
The remaining more than 3,000 elephant cavalry, one by one, stared at the Qin cavalry standing on the ground in front of them with blood-red eyes. With the loud sound of the elephant running, he shouted loudly and waved the scimitar in his hand, vowing to trample all these hundreds of Qin cavalry into pulp and avenge the death of the Pao Ze brothers!
