Chapter 267: The Power of the Cavalry (2)
In a short time, the 100,000-strong army was in the same place, 5,000 people were in a formation, a total of 20 phalanxes, and in each phalanx there were pikemen, sword and shield men, and archers, which could be said to be well coordinated. At a glance, people can see that they are elite soldiers in a hundred battles.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Wang Jin felt a slight shaking on the ground, and then, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
"General, the enemy's cavalry is coming."
Looking in the direction of the lieutenant's finger, I saw a pure white line appear at the end of the sky, and then, the line became thicker and thicker, and finally 30,000 iron horsemen surged out like a tide.
Sun Yu's iron cavalry was all equipped with white armor, and the silver spear tilted obliquely and roared to shock the sky, Wang Jin frowned, and shouted: "Meet the enemy!" ”
Sun Yu's 30,000 iron cavalry did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and rolled up a frenzy to press towards the enemy, and the speed was as fast as a column.
"Archers prepare, shoot on your back!"
Whoosh
In the front row, three phalanxes of five thousand people, a total of three thousand archers shot forward, the arrow feathers pierced the sky, like a meteor descending version fell in Sun Yu's military formation, suddenly, wailing again, hundreds of soldiers fell off their horses, and were trampled on the city by the iron cavalry that caught up behind.
Although the range of the upward shot is long, the power is not as good as the flat shot, because the upward shot can only shoot the soldiers, but cannot shoot the war horse, so that the soldier is shot to death, and the war horse will continue to follow the large army, and the power will not be reduced! The effect is the same for breaking through enemy lines.
"Javelin projection! Kill" Sun Yu threw the spear on his back and quickly took out a spear from his horse, which was eight feet long and extremely sharp at the tip, which was specially used by the cavalry for projection when facing the enemy.
Sun Yu roared, and the elite horsemen in the first three rows all took a spear from their horses. Then he pointed at Wang Jin's army formation in front of him, and threw it violently!
This is a new method of warfare invented by Wang Xu (in fact, it has been used in ancient times, Wang Xu is just plagiarism), Sun Yu and Lei Yan felt that it was very practical after research, so they taught soldiers projection training.
"Kill!" Every soldier grinned, and the spear in his hand was thrown like a rainbow through the sun, and in an instant. Wang Jin's front three military formations were shot in chaos, although this kind of javelin has a short range, but the power is definitely not worse than the bow and arrow, a shot is thrown, and often a sword and shield hand with the soldiers behind him are knocked down through, and blood is flying in the air.
Wang Jin was a little surprised, he had never encountered such a thing, and just when he was about to order the archers to fight back, Sun Yu's cavalry had already come to the three phalanxes. At this time, the first three phalanxes were in a state of chaos, Sun Yu suddenly killed, and was suddenly hit by the powerful impact of the horse, and the people who hit him turned on their backs, and countless soldiers died under the iron hooves.
"Kill!"
Sun Yu took the lead, and the Shattered Wind Silver Spear opened the way in front, and all the enemy soldiers who stood in front of him were pierced through the chest on the spot, and blood sprayed out. The robe was dyed red.
Although Sun Yu's 30,000 men were all newly trained, they were all officers and soldiers of Hexi County and Guxi County before. The elite soldiers of a hundred battles are accustomed to seeing blood, and at this time, they are fighting with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and they have no fear.
"Puff Puff !!" Countless soldiers followed behind Sun Yu, struggling to break through and crush in the middle; Each soldier held the spear in his hand steadily, and found that the enemy stabbed directly, borrowing the power of the war horse. The power is huge, and basically no soldier can resist it.
This is the power of cavalry, not only has a powerful impact, but also can greatly increase the combat power of soldiers, and the spear is much stronger than the enemy.
Not much. Sun Yu broke through the three phalanxes in front, all the cavalry pressed up, the formation was chaotic, the enemy was unmotivated, and many of them died under the horse's hooves, but most of them fled.
The 15,000-front army was scattered in an instant.
At this time, Sun Yu's cavalry no longer had the previous impact, all of them stopped holding their horses, and there were more than a dozen phalanxes waiting in front, Sun Yu gritted his teeth and continued to assault with the cavalry.
"Brothers, kill!"
Sun Yu launched a charge again, and the galloping of thousands of horses was like a tsunami, the momentum was huge, coupled with the might of the battle just now, all the officers and soldiers panicked at this time, and the battle in their hands trembled slightly, and cold sweat flowed on their foreheads.
Wang Jin panted heavily, tightened the long knife in his hand, and ordered: "Listen to the order, those who enter will live, and those who retreat will die, and they will all be killed with me!" ”
"Capture the enemy general!"
The deputy general beside him repeatedly dissuaded, but Wang Jin couldn't listen to it, and galloped forward with a pat on the horse's belly, heading in the direction of Sun Yu.
The lieutenants hesitated, but eventually followed.
Wang Jin launched a charge, and the remaining more than 80,000 infantry all abandoned the phalanx and killed Sun Yu, although they were afraid of Sun Yu's cavalry, but the military order had been issued, and the soldiers did not hesitate.
Kill
There is no luck on the battlefield, there is no luck on the battlefield, life and death are all in an instant, no one will relax their spirits, and everyone is tense and want to kill the enemy in front of them in one fell swoop.
"Puff puff ......"
The spears of the elite knights pierced the armor of the officers and soldiers, and the blood was wild.
At the same time, the horizontal knives of the officers and soldiers also saw the armor of the elite horseman, the sharp machete broke through the armor, and saw the flesh and blood of the soldiers, making a popping sound.
In the cavalry group, a soldier known as Liu Da was stabbed in the shoulder blade by the enemy's spear, scarlet blood gushed out, staining a large area of his chest, the severe pain made Liu Da's face hideous, he clenched the spear in his hand, and stabbed directly at the enemy, only to hear a poof.
The spear pierced the enemy's chest with a piercing pop.
The war horse was injured, the Xiliang soldiers were extremely angry, and the spear in their hands stabbed out, stabbing Liu Da's heart, and the Xiliang cavalry smiled, and the spear in his hand turned, which immediately broke Liu Da's heart.
"Poof!"
The spear was drawn, and Liu Da suddenly withered.
His eyes widened and he roared, "Kill, kill......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Da fell to the ground, lost his breath, and the battle would not stop because of Liu Da alone. The war horse galloped and continued to advance, and Liu Da, who fell to the ground, was trampled by the horse's hooves and trampled into pulp. At this time, the soldiers on both sides collided together and fought closely.
The battle became more and more intense.
In close combat, the spear lost its advantage and became the green leaves of a big tree, becoming a foil.
The distance between the soldiers was less than a meter, and the spears did not have enough space to be used to come in handy. Unless it is a master of using a spear like Sun Yu, he has the ability to run the spear like an arm without the slightest stagnation, and as for the soldiers with average marksmanship, only the use of a war knife can play the greatest role in hand-to-hand combat.
Every soldier was equipped with a sword, and after the two armies approached, the elite knights abandoned their spears, pulled out the swords at their waists, and slashed at the enemy, fighting closely, and the battle became more and more fierce.
Overall, although Sun Yu's cavalry was extremely ferocious, once it lost the drive to charge, it fell into disadvantage, and 30,000 soldiers had to fight more than 80,000 elite soldiers in the imperial court, and the situation was worrying. (To be continued......)
