Chapter 52: Fierce Battle

"Damn!"

Li Zheng cursed fiercely in his heart, wanting the light archer to return the color, but he forced himself to press it.

The Huns' running tactics were very flexible, every time they shot a wave of arrows, 2,000 people had already rushed to another angle, under the suppression of dense arrows, even if the light archers fought back, it was difficult to achieve results!

"Look at how many arrows you have!"

Li Zheng gritted his teeth.

After all, the soldiers under his command are equipped with fine food, unless they are unlucky, they are lost and shot in the gaps in their armor, or they are too careless and do not protect themselves, they are basically unhindered - the defensive ability of the armor is vividly reflected at this moment.

In that case, let them!

The arrows that cavalry can carry, after all, are limited. Each ride is no more than thirty or fifty, and less than twenty or thirty. And every time these cavalrymen run around the grassy knoll, they will shoot about five waves of arrow rain, so that after a maximum of seven or eight turns, their quiver will basically be empty!

"Hey, hey, it's time"

Li Zheng waved his spear and arrows, watching and listening to all directions, paying close attention to the movements of all the Huns under the grassy knoll.

He believed that after the Huns saw that the running shot was ineffective, they would definitely change their tactics!

As Li Zheng expected, after the two thousand Huns rode around the grass hill twice, the remaining 1,000 Huns divided into five hundred horses!

Li Zheng's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly ordered: "Heavy armor spearmen get ready, put up their spears!" ”

The heavily armored spearmen on the periphery of the circle were ordered, and hurriedly stuck the spear in their palm diagonally into the ground and erected it, and the tip of the spear was obliquely upwards fifty to sixty degrees, pointing straight ahead! The body was also depressed, the whole body tilted, and the weight fell on the barrel of the gun.

In this process, the rain of arrows did not stop, and several heavily armored spearmen moved too much, revealing flaws, and were also injured by arrows.

This made Li Zheng very helpless.

Although the soldiers under his command have all seen blood, it is the first time to fight with such elite soldiers as the Hun elite cavalry, and the experience is too little!

Not only that, but now that they are condescending, the spear should be pressed down a little more to play a better role. However, as in training, they still read according to the script, and the tip of the gun was tilted upwards at 60 degrees, which was also caused by their lack of experience in battle.

"Spear down, thirty degrees!"

Li Zheng hurriedly corrected.

At this time, against the backdrop of the rain of arrows, the five hundred Hun elite horsemen who had separated retreated hundreds of steps, then crawled down and clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the grassy hill!

Li Zheng's eyes widened, the spear in his hand was tightly pulled, and he stared at the Hun elite cavalry that was charging and getting faster and faster without blinking.

Seeing that the Huns' elite cavalry rushed up to the grassy hill, Li Zheng suddenly shouted: "Light archers, release arrows!" ”

And at this time, the Hun elite cavalry who was running around still did not stop the arrow rain attack, when Li Zheng ordered the light step archers to release the arrows, another wave of arrow rain sprinkled, as the light step archers shot arrows at the same time, seven or eight people fell to the ground with arrows in the face!

Li Zheng's face was iron-clad and blue.

Although this wave of arrows from the light archers left dozens of lives on the five hundred elite horsemen who rushed up the grassy hills, they lost seven or eight of their own, which made Li Zheng very distressed

The Huns are in the main formation.

"Are these Han people turned into turtles?!"

The Hun young man was throwing a tantrum: "I have been shooting for nearly half an hour with two thousand elite horses, but I only heard a few screams, what a shame!" ”

At this moment, he saw that the five hundred elite horsemen who rushed up to the grassy hill were actually hit by the bows and arrows of the Han army, and in just a moment, dozens of people fell, and their eyes were red for a while!

"That's a cavalry in armor, and the arrows of the Han dog are so sharp?!"

He ripped off the sheepskin hat from his head, and his expression was hideous.

The middle-aged Han man on the side grinned and stopped speaking for a while.

"What to do? How do you say?! ”

The Hun youth grabbed the middle-aged Han man on the side: "Say it quickly!" ”

"Uh" The middle-aged Han man was strangled by the collar, his face was red, and he said with difficulty: "It depends on what His Highness thinks." ”

"Huh?"

The young man let go of his hand and said, "Say! ”

"Is Your Highness determined to exterminate this Han army?!"

"Nonsense!"

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said, "I think that this Han army must not be the only one!" Since His Royal Highness insists on destroying this Han army, in order to prevent other Han troops from coming to help, for the sake of today's plan, he can only attack! ”

The young man frowned when he heard this.

He knew the middle-aged man was right. Most of the ruins of the Beiluo subordinates seen along the way were traces left by cavalry. At present, most of the Han army is infantry. Then in this grassland, there must be a lot of Han cavalry. If it is delayed for a long time, the Han cavalry will come to help, it will not be good!

After the light archers returned three waves of arrows and lost nearly twenty of their own people, the Huns' rain of arrows also stopped. Because, there are still more than 300 Hun cavalry left, and they have already rushed to the front!

Bang!

Puff puff!

Immediately, more than 300 Hun cavalry collided with the heavily armored spearmen on the periphery of the circle.

The spear that was erected diagonally, under the impact of the Hun cavalry, instantly pierced the horse's neck and pierced into the chest of the knight on horseback.

But the tremendous impact force, although weakened by the slope of the grassy hills, still knocked the defensive circle formed by the heavily armored spearmen backwards!

However, this layer of defense has not been broken!

Just like a spring, after the heavy armor spearmen on the outer layer were hit and many people were seriously injured, the heavy armored spearmen on the back layer hurriedly stepped forward and replaced the outer gunmen!

The addition of living forces immediately stabilized the shape again.

The lethality of a sharp spear against a cavalry without a speed bonus is huge!

In just a moment, the defensive circle rebounded, and the more than 300 cavalry who rushed up left dozens of corpses and were squeezed off the top of the grassy knoll!

Li Zheng's twenty-four cavalry and Qingjia war horses did not move, although their eyes were red and they were ready to fight.

But Li Zheng knew that the role of these twenty-four Qingjia war horses was to fight fires!

He believed that the Huns under the grass knoll would not be willing to fail!

Sure enough, after this wave of cavalry was repulsed, the two thousand elite cavalry cruising on the side immediately divided into four parts and rushed up from all four directions!

The real crisis is coming!

Li Zheng cheered up the soldiers while tightening his spear.

The rumbling hooves of the horses pounded on the ground, and the whole grass knoll trembled under the hooves.

The fierce killing machines in all directions are overwhelming!

Li Zheng gained a foothold in cavalry, but now he is facing a severe test of cavalry, which is not ironic.

However, the current situation made him not have the heart to laugh at himself.

Seeing that five hundred horsemen from each side rushed up to the grassy hill, they saw that these Hun cavalry actually shot a wave of arrows in front of them, and then threw down their bows and arrows and raised their scimitars!

Li Zheng ordered the light step archers to return the color, and at the same time asked the heavy armor spearmen to stabilize the defensive circle! He led the twenty-four green armor war horses to slowly walk.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, the Huns from all directions came up!

Thundered!

In the face of the strong impact of the Hun cavalry, Li Zheng's circular defensive circle was like facing a monstrous wave, rebounding back and forth, rising and falling!

The spearmen were in front, and the light archers gave up their bows and arrows, drew their sabers, interspersed them among the spearmen, and slashed the Hun cavalry!

And the Hun cavalry did not show weakness, the bright scimitar grazed the fish scale armor of the heavily armored spearmen, shining with sparks one by one!

Li Zheng galloped back and forth with the twenty-four Qingjia war horses, relying on the strong body, powerful strength, and sophisticated equipment of the green armor war horses to fight fires everywhere. If there is a crisis in any section of the defense circle, he will be there!

Blood, blood all over the grassy knoll!

The blood pooled into a stream and flowed slowly down the grassy knoll.

The whole scene seemed to be shrouded in a layer of scarlet.

In the face of the lifeless impact of the Hun cavalry, the speed of attrition under Li Zheng's command became faster and faster. Although there were not many deaths on the spot, injuries abounded.

The lightly wounded continued to fight the enemy, while the seriously wounded moved to the center of the circle.

Compared with Li Zheng's army, the losses of the Huns were much greater!

In this kind of entangled melee combat, the ordinary cavalry without the speed advantage, although the attack is still fierce, but it loses flexibility, and more importantly, the equipment of the Huns, after all, is not comprehensive and sophisticated. In the face of the combined strangulation of heavy armor spearmen and light archers, more and more corpses were left behind!

Half an hour!

Half an hour, that is, an hour of fighting! Coupled with the previous series of long-range strikes, it was almost an hour!

Both sides have entered a state of extreme fatigue!

Now, it's up to you to see who can't hold on first!

As soon as someone retreats, it will cause a chain reaction that will cause a big collapse!

Li Zheng is difficult to ride a tiger, and the Huns are also difficult to ride a tiger. The only thing that can be done now is to persevere, persevere, persevere!

Under the grassy slope, the Hun young man's face was shocked at this time. He couldn't believe that these Han soldiers had fought fiercely with the 2,500 elite cavalry under his command for nearly an hour with 500 foot soldiers! Although they have a geographical advantage, the cavalry under the young man is not a soft persimmon! That's the elite rider under the command of the bone capital!

"Your Highness, what should I do now?!"

The middle-aged Han man next to him also had no idea.

This kind of hard-fought battle, no conspiracy and trickery is useless. The competition is the real combat power of the warrior!

For the first time, the face of the Hun youth showed a look of hesitation.

He still has 500 elite horsemen under his command, and if they are put into battle, it will definitely make a difference. However, the top of the meadow is so big, and the two thousand five hundred people are already saturated, even if these five hundred people are thrown in, I am afraid that it will not be able to be used! If you insist on throwing these 500 people into the battlefield, if you don't get the desired effect, what should you do?

By then, he would have nothing left!

He still has to go to Baishuize, if he leads a group of remnants of the army to defeat, if nothing else, he will lose the face of his father Khan first! If Bai Shuize's farewell is looked down upon, then the purpose of his trip will not only fail to achieve, but will have the opposite effect!

What to do?!

When the Hun youth was considering a choice, a shout of killing suddenly came from behind.

When he looked back, his face immediately changed!
