Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dragon's Army's Bloody Battle Against the Cavalry (Part II)
After a rain of crossbows and arrows, the cavalry finally reached the front camp of the Longxiang army.
"Boom ......"
The surging cavalry finally viciously collided with a column of rejecting horses temporarily arranged outside the Longxiang military camp, and the repulsion array instantly pierced the hundreds of cavalry cavalry that rushed to the front with spurs. But the rushing cavalry did not stop, with flesh and blood wildly charged on the rejection of the horse, a moment later a column of rejection of the horse was smashed to pieces, but the cavalry also fell more than 500 people.
"Are these Warrior cavalry crazy, and the two thousand-man team is just gone?" Guide Lang looked at Zhang Meng, who could be said to be a dead-spirited cavalryman, and said silently.
"I think it's crazy, but the crazy Warrior Cavalry is even more powerful!" Guide Lang looked at Lin Haoyu fixedly at the falling cavalry, and replied gloomily.
"Sigh the law ......"
In the deafening neighing of the war horses, the cavalry behind them rushed to the horse, and the cavalry with superb riding skills jumped over the broken horses and corpses one after another, approaching the front camp.
"Huhuhu......"
The cavalry threw out their hooks that had been prepared, hung them on the fence, and turned and ran backwards.
"Oh no, they're trying to bring down our camp!" One shouted.
"Archers, fight back! Fight back! ”
One, two...... More and more of the Cavalry built a fence with hooks, and although the Cavalry was constantly being shot by arrows and rolling off their horses, the Cavalry in the distance also suppressed the archers of the Dragon's Army, and as for the crossbow machine, it was impossible to attack the targets in front of them.
"Hey ......"
At the same time, the cavalry galloped back, and the hook was immediately tightened.
"Squeak...... Crash...... A fence more than 30 meters wide was pulled down, and all the generals of the Longxiang army did not change color.
"Ula ......"
The remaining cavalry raised their scimitars and roared into the sky.
"Sword and shield man, step forward! Pikemen, array! Archers, keep unleashing arrows! Xue Lei gave several orders in a row, and the hurried voice spread throughout the front camp.
"Heavy infantry formation!" Xue Lei stood in front of the camp and roared.
A thousand hoplites in thick armor, spears in one hand, wooden shields in the other, and large iron shields rose up and quickly formed a neat infantry formation at the sound of the officer's horn.
To the east of the camp of the Longxiang Army, the cavalry began to rush over, thousands of flying iron hooves endlessly knocked on the cold land, making an endless rumbling sound, the scimitar in the hands of the cavalry in the front row was raised high, and the scimitar rose and fell with the running of the war horse, like the poisonous letter swallowed by a poisonous snake, cold and terrifying.
"Whew......"
The first person raised his head to the sky and howled, and more than 3,000 cavalry responded with a wolf howl. With the momentum of crushing a qiē, they swept towards the formation of the Long Xiang army, and the grim-faced Long Xiang army found that the ground under their feet was trembling......
"Thorn!"
The heavy infantry in the front, led by the colonel, met the roaring cavalry. The highly impacted cavalry raised their slender moon scimitars. That piece of sword light, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, stung the eyes of all the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army.
"Boom ......"
The first row of the cavalry and the dragon cavalry collided fiercely, and the sharp spears lightly pierced the body of the cavalry, but more of the heavy infantry of the dragon cavalry were knocked headlong by the surging war horses, and fell backwards in the air, and when they landed on the mountain, they were already dead. The follow-up cavalry had already brandished heavy swords and slashed towards the next Yan soldier.
The tide swept over the Shen Ya cavalry with a strong inertia and fiercely collided with the heavy infantry formation of the Longxiang Army, and suddenly bloomed into a brilliant wave, the human body was thrown away, the war horse screamed, the cold glow of the blade confused the dark sky, and the red blood stained the earth, at this moment, no matter who it was, Yan Ren? Devil people! Life is all the same fragility, even a wild dog is inferior.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Countless violent collision sounds, all mixed together, no one could tell what it was, it was too chaotic.
Xue Lei saw in the back that the originally dense heavy infantry queue, like a piece of tofu, suddenly encountered a sharp kitchen knife, and was easily split from the middle. At least five rows of heavy infantry soldiers in front were all caught under the hooves of the cavalry, and they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
No one will feel that they still have a chance to survive, because it is completely impossible.
The power of that kind of collision, he could feel even from a distance of dozens of zhang, this was not at all a force that flesh and blood could block, no matter how fine the armor, no matter how sharp the spear, no matter how strong the courage, no matter how strong the organization, in the face of such an impact, all of them seemed so fragile, like white paper, lightly torn apart. Although he also saw the continuous fall of the Cavalry, his heart still hurt like a knife. He regretted it, regretted why he was careless? Why didn't you prepare outside the camp in advance, but only remembered to refuse the horse when you were besieged by the Tatars? Why didn't you even dig a horse pit? In short, he has never regretted it as much as he did today, but what is stronger than regret in his heart is the incomparable hatred and killing intent towards the Ya people.
"Sword, shield, pikeman, forward!" Xue Lei shouted.
The sword and shield men and pikemen immediately pressed closer, and fought with the Tatar cavalry, who had been slowed down by the heavy infantry. The archers of the Dragon Troop army also kept placing arrows in the back.
After the cavalry's impact was slowed, they had to wield a full moon scimitar or bend their bows and arrows to clear the way for their advance. The battlefield was full of arrows flying around, and there was blood splattered everywhere, and no one could figure out where the arrows were flying or where the blood was flying.
The soldiers of Long Xiang launched a counterattack against the Turquoise cavalry face to face, and they blocked in front of the Eunuch cavalry, or around them, launched a counterattack against the Eunuch cavalry. Their long knives and spears stabbed into the horses' bodies, knocking them to the ground. The fallen cavalry were instantly pierced by the incoming iron spears, and although they were still holding the full moon scimitar, they had no chance to wield it.
Not to be outdone, the arrows were accurate and ferocious, and the nearby dragon cavalry kept falling. At such a close distance, the arrows of the cavalry could easily penetrate the armor on their bodies. More and more of the cavalry rushed up, and the vanguard gathered in the camp shot more dense arrows, vowing to open the way forward.
The full moon scimitar wielded by the cavalry is very lethal, and they are on horseback, condescending, and can give full play to the lethality of the scimitar. The position of the attack is basically the neck of the Long Xiang sergeant, which is the weakest point of the armor, and every time the knife is slashed, it is the result of being beheaded.
The place, which was no more than fifty meters wide, suddenly became the main point of the fierce battle above, and the red blood stained the earth, although he knew that these were caused by blood, but the basis made the soldiers feel like they were stepping on a muddy road on a rainy day.
"Hurry up and get the crossbow arrows in the back ready, and you will be ruthless to these bastards in a while!"
Guide Lang General Zhang Meng immediately asked the crossbow battalion to prepare, and at the same time built new horses on both sides, laid down horse pits, and prepared for defense.
"My lord! Ready! ”
"Withdraw! Retreat to both sides! Xue Lei shouted. Countless Long Xiang soldiers immediately retreated to both sides in a reasonable and orderly manner.
Suddenly, the cavalry felt that in front of them, suddenly opened up, there was no longer the obstruction of the Yan army, and the war horse also spread its hooves and ran happily. However, they were not at all excited, because he suddenly found that in front of him, at least a hundred sharp crossbow arrows were aimed at him. The pitch-black arrows made them immediately feel the existence of hell. There are also rows of rejecting horses on both sides of the passage from the entrance of the camp to the inside of nearly 200 meters, and behind the rejecting horses, there are rows of archers, all pointing coldly at themselves.
"Woo Woo ......"
Countless arrows shot out, instantly turning hundreds of people into hedgehogs.
"There are traps...... "Countless Warriors silently complained as they died.
It's a pity that the cavalry behind them haven't realized that this is a trap and think that the passage has been opened. The surviving cavalry tried their best to pass through the middle of the passage of the camp and continue to attack the dragon army. However, a dense stream of arrows continued to fall, pinning them to the clearing in the middle of the passage.
"General Lin, you immediately lead people to strengthen the camp walls in all directions of the camp, and at the same time lay down horse pits and horse rejections, and you must not let the other two sides do the same." Xue Lei said loudly. The camp of the Longxiang army, one side of the mountain, no need to stick to it; There is a river on one side, needless to say, the water source is naturally the key protection object, and the camp is relatively strong. But Xue Lei didn't want that to happen again in other places.
The crossbow machine is divided into two rounds, taking turns to shoot, and in the middle of the interval, there are archers on both sides who reject the horses are responsible, and between the horses and the archers, there are sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, who are responsible for killing the indigo cavalry and resisting the arrows released by the indigo cavalry.
"Prepare"
"Put!"
Captain Zhang Ju, who was temporarily in charge of the command of the crossbow machine, issued a low order.
"Chirp!"
There was a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and one after another crossbow arrows whistled out, stinging the eardrums of the nearby Longxiang soldiers.
The direction in which the crossbow bolt shot just happened to hit the indigo cavalry who was facing it directly. The power of the crossbow arrows is obviously much stronger than the arrows shot by the archers on both sides, even if they shoot a distance of hundreds of zhang, they still have a strong lethality, and they gallop past, immediately bringing a bloody storm.
"Puff puff!"
A series of dull voices came, and the cavalry in front of them kept falling. Some crossbow arrows hit the war horses, and the war horses fell on the spot, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown out fiercely, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. There are also crossbow arrows that hit the cavalry, and the war horse with the body of the master still galloped all the way forward, and the corpse of the cavalry pulled a long deep ditch in the ground until he was dragged to death or the war horse was shot to death.
The fallen war horse, with a very strong inertia, still slid straight forward, the cavalry has shed too much blood, the ground has long been soaked in blood very soft, once a war horse falls, often have to slide out of a distance of more than ten meters or even more than twenty meters, in order to barely stop. In the process of sliding, they often knocked down their galloping companions, so that more horses fell, and sometimes even a dozen cavalry all fell together, and the scene was a mess and chaos.
The Tartars, who were not dead after falling to the ground, moved slowly and inevitably endured more crossbow arrows and arrows. They did not have good protective armor, and they had no resistance to the whizzing crossbow arrows and arrows.
The crossbow shooter of the Long Xiang Army did not look at the results after shooting, but just shot the crossbow arrows according to the procedure. The Long Xiang army is not a government army, so they naturally prepare a large number of crossbow arrows, they have no need to be stingy with arrows, even if they shoot ten arrows to hit a cavalry, it is worth it, it is better than being captured by the cavalry.
While the crossbow bolts attacked, the archers on both sides pressed on and attacked the Turkic cavalry in the center. When the archers are tired, they swap with the other classes waiting behind them, and at such a close distance, they can shoot with their bows, and the Longxiang army is never short of arrows.
"Ready!" "Put!" The Ranger General Xue Lei gave a fierce order.
A rain of arrows, swept a distance of less than 100 meters, deeply pierced into the body of the Warriors, and fell down at the moment, and the arrows of the Cavalry counterattacked were blocked by the sword and shield soldiers and heavy infantry in front of them with giant wooden shields, although there were also many soldiers who were shot, but compared to the Cavalry, they simply didn't know where they were lucky.
"Whoosh!"
"Chirp!"
The crossbow arrows of the dragon army continued to whizz past, bringing up a rain of blood. At a distance of nearly two hundred meters, the cavalry continued to fall, and the corpses on the open ground were getting thicker and thicker, and the crossbow machine was already somewhat upward when the archer fired. It's just such a short road, and more than a thousand people have fallen, but the ones behind are still moving forward.
When a dozen or so of the crossbow soldiers were on the arrows, they accelerated to the front of the crossbow machine, and saw that they were about to enter the crossbow machine camp and destroy the crossbow machine, but would the dragon army put such an obvious loophole in the light?
"Sigh the law ......"
More than ten war horses planted on the ground, rowed forward more than 20 meters, rolled in front of the crossbow machine curve, and several lightly injured cavalry climbed up, brandished scimitars, and killed the soldiers of the crossbow machine curve.
"Puff ......"
Beside the crossbow machine Qu soldiers, a group of sword and shield soldiers poured out, cutting these people to the ground.
