On the vast Gobi, the eight hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already turned over and mounted their horses, prancing horses and spears, and lined up a sharp arrow formation.\\

There was a slight rhythmic vibration on the Gobi land full of gravel and gravel, and a line of fire swept wildly from the southeast. Like the morning sun, it suddenly jumped out, with a dazzling firelight, the neighing of war horses, the trampling of horses' hooves, and countless iron horses galloped in.

Swords and guns are like forests, flags are like the sea, and the cold blades of the sabers shine with the light of the torches, devouring blood and ruthless. The sand and dust were raised, the battle flags were hunting, and a black frenzy swept in, and the Xiliang cavalry were all grim-faced, and the number of enemy troops was beyond their expectations, and even just seeing the marching momentum of this enemy army had already made them change color. It was a strong army, a force that far surpassed them in terms of numbers and combat power.

Ma Ning, the commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who was wearing only a sleeveless vest and iron armor with a cloak on his body, and his bare and powerful arms were exposed, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, and took off the big iron gun hanging next to the saddle.

With the iron gun in hand, Ma Ning's entire momentum suddenly changed.

With a shake of his hands, the big iron spear weighing thirty-six pounds went out to sea like a cunning dragon, shaking out a brilliant gun flower. Wielding a large iron spear, Ma Ning raised his head to the sky and roared, letting out a terrifying roar like a beast. Under his drive, the eight hundred Xiliang Iron Riders behind him, who seemed to be small at this time, seemed to be infected, and they let out a roar one after another, and together with the war horses they stepped on, they couldn't help but neigh and roar. Some even stood up.

The fiery dragon in front of him was getting closer and closer. There are more and more enemy cavalry on the Gobi Desert, and at this time there are more than 5,000 enemy cavalry on the Gobi, but there are still cavalry pouring out from the mountains and mountains, which seems to be endless.

"Kill!"

Ma Ning did not hesitate for a moment, in the face of the enemy army, which was already nearly ten times larger, and even kept pouring out, he did not retreat, did not fear, but launched an attack as if he were dead. The Qiang people of Xiliang have always been fierce and brave.

Steed. Spears, blood-stained battlefields!

This seems to be the final destination of Xiliang men, since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Xiliang athletes who live far away in the west of the Longyou River. It seems to have been forgotten by the Central Plains. They have no glory, and can only graze and cultivate in the barren mountains, facing the loess with their backs to the sky day after day. This kind of life is what he doesn't want, otherwise, he wouldn't have resolutely and resolutely taken his brothers in the village to Xue Ju.

The man of Xiliang only stepped forward and did not retreat!

What's more, he, Ma Ning, has always boasted of being the descendant of Ma Chao, the general of the Three Kingdoms and Five Tigers.

War horses are galloping, flags are flying!

Another crowd poured out of the mountains, this time. In the middle of the countless people and horses, there is also a huge bright yellow five-clawed dragon flag.

Under the five-clawed dragon, Chen Pojun, who was dressed in a golden bright light unicorn armor, straddled the tall Teller Biao, and the Xiliang cavalry with eight hundred charges far ahead, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

On the battlefield, such an opponent is worthy of appreciation.

However, he will not indulge in any kind of indulgence because of this.

Boom!

With a touch of crimson Chixiao Sword already unsheathed, Chen Kefu raised his sword and pointed westward, and issued a calm order: "Attack!" ”

Woo woo woo -

In the thunderous drums of war, the rapid trumpet of the charge has sounded. The cavalry at the front heard the order. One by one, their blood boiled, and they took off the repeating shooter's crossbow in the crossbow bag next to the saddle.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, sixty steps.

The advance of the two armies was close at hand, and Ma Ning's hand with an iron spear was full of strength.

Knowing that you will die. But none of him and the eight hundred Xiliang athletes behind him were afraid. He had already seen the dragon banner behind the countless black iron horses from afar, and he was shocked that it was actually the famous Great Chen Emperor Chen Pojun.

This moment. He even had a feeling of flattery in his heart. He is just a small general in the Western Qin army who is not well received by the army, how can He De actually ask Chen Pojun to take action in person.

While sighing, he couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart. If you can go straight to the banner of that Panlong and compete with the world-shattering Chen Pojun, even if you die in the Gobi here, you will have no regrets in this life.

Fifty steps!

Ma Ning could even see the face of the knight opposite, it seemed that he was still a young man under twenty, he had already heard that it seemed that most of the Chen army was a soldier, a few were recruits, and the rest were mercenaries from Liaodong. I heard that there are female soldiers in Chen's army, who were personally trained and commanded by Chen Pojun's imperial concubines. Ma Ning has always wondered that the battlefield is a man's battlefield, why would Chen Pojun let women go to the battlefield?

The wind was whistling in his ears, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted when he was riding on a horse.

At this moment, there was a sudden squeaking sound in his ears, Ma Ning's face changed, and he looked at it refreshedly, and sure enough, the cavalry in the vanguard of the Chen army was actually holding two crossbows instead of riding spears at this time.

Ma Ning, who had already inquired about Chen Jun, knew for the first time that this was the standard rhythm of Chen Jun's damn cavalry charge, with seven consecutive crossbows fired in a row, and two per person.

For a long time, Chen Jun has been fighting, and his weapons are always superior to his opponents. From the beginning of the war with the Liao, they rode and shot at each other, but the Chen army had strong leather armor. Later, Chen Jun invented and equipped the triple crossbow. Since then, it has continued to improve, from the three-shot crossbow, to the five-shot crossbow, to the current seven-shot crossbow, and the ghost knows if they will one day invent the nine-shot crossbow and the thirteen-shot crossbow.

The crossbow is a valuable weapon, more convenient than the bow, and can turn a warrior into a marksman without the need for long training. However, crossbows are also more delicate and precious, especially since the damage rate is too high, making crossbows expensive. And the repeating crossbow, even more so.

But it is such an expensive weapon, Chen Jun can actually make the cavalry fully equipped, and even have two of them.

Fighting against Chen Jun, everyone has to face this situation. Obviously, none of the countries occupy half of the world, and Chen Guo has strong national strength, and he can't do such a money-burning armed method. Since it is impossible to equip the repeater with the same equipment, the only way to crack Chen Jun's repeater is to use other methods, and some use the tactics of the sea of people to fill it with life. After all, when participating in the war, no matter how sharp the crossbow is, it will only have one chance to attack at most, and it will not be able to reload at all.

However, it is a last resort to fill with human life. In most cases, most generals will still choose to use shields. Although under the overwhelming rain of crossbows where one Chen Qi could shoot fourteen crossbow arrows in a row, the shield could not block all of them, but it could finally reduce a lot of casualties.

Ma Ning's Xiliang cavalry fought bravely, skilled in riding and shooting, and a spear and a war horse could crisscross the battlefield. But the use of shields is not the tradition of the Xiliang people.

Shields, in general, there are three categories. That is, a square shield, a round shield, and a hook setting that can defend and attack.

Square shields have a variety of styles such as hand cards, peng cards, swallowtail cards, push cards, etc., and are mainly used by infantry. Round shield, also known as group card. Because of its small size and flexibility, it was mostly used by cavalry, but also by infantry. The common style of the square shield is that the bottom edge is flush, and the upper end is formed by two arcs to form a gourd shape, and the middle ridge is raised.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry shined on the historical stage of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry swept the world, suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising, and even the Three Kingdoms Melee, all had an indispensable influence. Xiliang Iron Cavalry is brave and fierce, and can always move forward on the battlefield. What they advocate most is to attack, attack, and attack.

The shield, for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, is not used to them, and with their belief, offense is the best defense.

However, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Ma Chao was stationed on the border of Shu State, and at the same time as the world was shocked, Ma Chao felt that the wars were frequent and the conquests continued, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was greatly damaged. Later, a new type of shield was added to the Xiliang army, that is, the hook setting.

The hook inlay is a common shield in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is to shrink the original square shield to a slightly larger than a human head, which is about the length and width of two palms. Then on top and bottom of these two palm-long and wide small square shields, an arm-long iron hook was added to each of them, so that it became a hook shield, a kind of shield that could be attacked and defended.

This kind of shield belongs to Qimen weapons, which were once equipped in large quantities in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they have been rare since then. By the end of the Sui Dynasty, this shield was basically extinct.

But at this time, Ma Ning shouted on the horse: "Hook setting!" ”

The sound fell, and the Xiliang knights beside him began to yell behind him one by one. One by one, the Xiliang cavalry quickly took off a hook from their horses and lifted it up. The size of the shield that could only cover the face of the face had two slender hooks on the upper and lower sides, which were extremely hideous.

Can be defended and attacked, this is the reason why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has not given up this Qimen shield so far, no matter when, the attack is the belief that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will never forget.

The strings are like thunderbolts, and the crossbows are like flying locusts!

One horse, two crossbows, fourteen shots, this move has always been the killer weapon of the Chen army against the enemy, generally even if the enemy army can survive this killing move, at least it will be a heavy loss, or even a big chaos in formation.

However, this time, to the surprise of Chen Pojun, who was watching Chen on the small hill behind, after this round of sharp attacks, the Xiliang cavalry, which was only eight hundred horsemen, did not lose many men and horses. What is even incredible is that under the volley of ten thousand arrows, they did not even break the formation of the arrows, and still maintained the flying like an arrow shot at high speed.

Chen Pojun immediately recognized the hook-inlaid shield they used to block Chen Jun's crossbow arrows, the hook-inlaid shield is not uncommon, but the hook-inlaid shield can be used so superbly, with such a shield that is not much bigger than a palm, but it can block countless arrow rains, and can keep the formation unchanged, and continue to charge forward without fear, but it is the first time he has seen it.

With both hands on the hilt of the sword, and the sword on the ground, Chen Kefu couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes this time.

"Pass the order down, turn the attack into a siege. Surround this cavalry, and I will take them down!" ”
