Chapter 108: Fierce Battle (19)
The cavalry was accelerating, the horses were neighing, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the middle of the positions of the two armies.
Although there were only a few hundred of them, the indomitable charging momentum of these hundreds of cavalry was as earth-shattering as if thousands of troops were attacking.
They began to launch the final charge to the left of Zhao Yun's army, and the soldiers on Zhao Yun's side were slowing down at this time, and their acceleration was in stark contrast to the slowdown of the Han cavalry.
Whether it is in terms of momentum or speed, it makes the Wuhuan cavalry feel a little more excited.
Although the cavalry of the Han army outnumbered them and was better equipped than them, the cavalry of the Han army did not have the spirit of the Wuhuan cavalry who were not afraid of death.
On the battlefield, it is not only the equipment that competes, but also the will to fight.
As long as they can maintain such a mentality and will maintain the will to kill the enemy desperately, even if the Han cavalry is much more than them, they are not afraid.
Zhao Yun saw that Nanlin and them began to attack the weakest point of their large array, and while directing the crossbowmen who wanted to retreat to the large formation to form a formation of firing from both sides, he shouted to the heralds under him: "See, those Wuhuan cavalry rushed up."
Have all the archers, with all their suckling strength, use round rounds, and shoot only at the enemy in front of you, as many as you can.
The position of the Chinese army made the spear cavalry move closer to the left flank of the Chinese army, forming a formation of flank attack and anti-outflanking, and do not fight hard with those cavalry of Wuhuan and harass them on the flank.
If the Wuhuan cavalry wants to chisel through, let them chisel through our brigade, don't go head-to-head with these Wuhuan cavalry, and we must use our strengths to attack their weaknesses.
If the enemy's cavalry divides up to attack, they will immediately retreat, always maintaining the oppressive feeling of following, and not fighting hard. ”
The thoughts in Zhao Yun's heart turned quickly, and these Wuhuan cavalry put on such a posture, that is, they wanted to fight desperately with them, and wanted to use such a way that he could not attack the infantry in front of him who had not yet fully set up the formation.
Puff ...... Puff ...... From time to time, Nanlin's cavalry fell from his horses, but Nanlin paid no attention to the deaths of a few people, let alone the cavalry that approached to make crossbows.
Such a charge would have a high mortality rate and a lot of enemies to face, but now they had no way out but to keep charging forward.
"The bow and arrow are wound, and the five counts are fired."
Nanlin was about a hundred paces away from the Han army's main array, so he gave the order for the archers to prepare.
Nan Lin felt that among the more than 300 people under his command, only about 50 were equipped and could skillfully use bows and arrows on horseback, which was really lower than that of the Han army.
If it is too close to the Han position, the bows and arrows of the Han army are likely to come first, and if any archers are killed, it is better to attack the Han side earlier.
The cavalry on the Han side is very dense, and these fifty cavalry equipped with bows and arrows can kill a lot of enemies, at least in terms of the probability of killing, far exceeding the Han cavalry.
The first strike is stronger, and the last strike doesn't even have a chance to counterattack.
Almost at the same time, the bows and arrows of the archers of the Han cavalry were also fired, except that the archers of the Han cavalry aimed at the front part of the Wuhuan cavalry, and formed a kind of round fire.
The significance of the round of fire is that the first round of fire did not hit, and the later round of fire continued to cover, so that the cavalry in front suffered the most damage.
This strategy is the most devastating blow to the cavalry team, after all, if the cavalry in the front row dies or is seriously injured and falls off the horse, the cavalry behind will not be able to dodge, or even trample before they can pass.
This is a bit more lucky, some unlucky cavalry will even fall on their backs because of the fall of the cavalry and the war horse in front of them.
This kind of attack can stop the speed of the Wuhuan cavalry, so that the Wuhuan cavalry can no longer continue to accelerate, after this round of bow and arrow attacks, it can also carry out a wave of attacks, a blow to the cavalry of the rear team of the Wuhuan cavalry.
Bows and arrows fell like locusts in the sky, and the Han cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry began to be hit by arrows and fell off their horses, leaving the war horse to run away alone.
The lucky horses knew that the cavalry on their bodies was dead, and they needed to avoid this dangerous place, most of the horses would be shot like the cavalry, and they kept roaring, constantly screaming, and in extreme pain.
After the sniping of the bow and arrow, it is the most primitive fight, whether it is the cavalry of the Han army or the Wuhuan cavalry, they have burst out with the most primitive beastliness.
The two armies face each other, and only by doing their best to fight the enemy, and only by doing their best to kill the opponent, can they survive on the battlefield.
The Wuhuan cavalry was not afraid of death, and the cavalry of the Han army was already red-eyed at this time, their eyes were red, and they began to fight hard.
Chaos, there was an extreme chaos in the middle of the battlefield, and the Wuhuan cavalry and the Han cavalry fought together.
One shot at you, one shot at me. If you cut it, I will cut it too.
After the speed advantage disappeared, the cavalry on both sides formed a scorching form.
A rain of blood burst out from the cavalry's body, and stumps and severed arms were constantly thrown into the air, and the soldiers on both sides became like bloody people at this time.
At this time, they didn't know whether the blood on their bodies was the blood of the enemy or their own blood, and they had only one thought in their hearts, and that was to kill each other and give themselves a chance to survive.
Although Nanlin was wearing heavy armor, there were still several wounds on his horse and body, including arrow wounds and gunshot wounds, but he was not affected by these injuries in the slightest, and led his pro-army to rush left and right among the cavalry of the Han army.
Nanlin was gambling, betting that the commanders of the Han army chose to retreat temporarily when they saw such a situation, and that they could not bear such casualties.
Yin Sitong of the Tunguska Division, like Nanlin, has been at the forefront of the battle, but he is not as lucky as Nanlin, and he encounters Zhao Yun and the most elite part of the Han cavalry.
Yin Stone can be said to be one of the best generals in the Tunguska Department, but compared with Zhao Yun, it is far from the same, when he first came into contact, with the advantage of Ma Kuai, he staggered after fighting with Zhao Yun for a round.
However, the cavalry behind him was not so lucky, and was constantly picked off the horse by Zhao Yun with one shot from the left and one shot from the right.
Where Zhao Yun passed, no Wuhuan cavalry could stop him.
The elite cavalry behind Zhao Yun saw that the main general was fierce, and they were also the most elite soldiers selected by Zhao Yun from several battles, so they directly killed the remaining cavalry of the Tunguska Division.
