Chapter 253: Armored Heavy Cavalry
"Report, Karasuma's 180,000 cavalry suddenly turned towards us head-on!" Scout urgent report.
Zhang Lang smiled coldly, "Hmph, you want to encircle and annihilate us? He looked around and saw that his army was still in the undulating hilly area, so he ordered: "Pass the order, and get out of this hill immediately!" The herald flew and gave the order, and the army sped out of the hilly area.
As soon as I came out of the hills, I saw the northern sky filled with smoke and dust, and the rumbling and thunderous movements came from far and near, like a drum.
"The army is arrayed and ready to fight!"
60,000 cavalry lined up on the hillside, 20,000 armored heavy cavalry in the center, and 40,000 assault cavalry on the two wings. The 60,000 soldiers stared at the approaching smoke and dust in front of them, clenched their long knives and horses, and held their breath. The banner hunted in the wind, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and a goshawk circled and let out a long hiss!
Soon after, 180,000 Karasuma cavalry rushed to a stop five hundred paces in front of the Han army! The smoke and dust swept away from the sky, revealing an endless array of war horses, a cold light like snow!
Badun looked proud and immediately fell under the big man.
Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang slowly raised Fang Tian's halberd, the blade flashed against the sun, and Fang Tian's halberd swung forward. Kill! The 40,000 horsemen on both wings activated at the same time, raising smoke and dust in the sky like a pair of scimitars and stabbing straight towards the opponent's ribs!
The Karasuma people didn't expect that Lu Bujun would dare to take the initiative to attack, and they were taken aback, and the whole team was a little confused. Badun shouted, and then the two cavalry met the two wings of the Han army!
At this moment, Zhang Lang moved, the red rabbit horse collapsed like a flame, and the 20,000 armored heavy cavalry that was boiling with blood shouted violently, and started together, charging from the front to the Karasuma army like a sea of mountains! Iron hooves clang, the earth trembles!
Seeing this, he had no choice but to personally command all the cavalry to meet him, and the overwhelming yellow wave surged away, as if he was going to drown all the Han troops! The Karasuma people held their scimitars high and howled at the top of their throats, and the bloodthirsty impulse boiled in their chests!
In the blink of an eye, two huge waves collided. Zhang Lang took the lead in the enemy's army, and Fang Tian's halberd flew around him like a swimming dragon, no one could stop him, whether it was a soldier or a general. The Karasuma cavalry wielded the scimitar desperately, only to see the cold light of the heavy scimitar flickering! There was a crackling sound, the sound of a scimitar slashing at the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry, and the scimitar failed to cut through the heavy armor, but only stirred up some sparks; At the same time, the mace and horse lance of the armored heavy cavalry set off a rain of blood, and I saw that the head was broken and the arm was broken, and the Karasuma cavalry screamed and dismounted one by one!
Zhang Lang urged the red rabbit horse to kill a bloody road, and went straight to the Badun who was desperately urging the soldiers to fight! Seeing this, he was shocked, how dare he fight against Lu Bu, and quickly turned his horse's head and ran away without his life!
Zhang Lang rushed to Da Xuan and waved Fang Tian's painting halberd to cut off Da Xuan! Immediately, he fell into the boundless and endless enemy cavalry, and the bloody battle was fought and he couldn't get out for a while!
While the battle was fierce on both wings, the two sides were entangled and charged, and one Han soldier was cut down by the opponent's scimitar, while one enemy was stabbed off his horse by the Han army's horse lance.
20,000 armored heavy cavalry rushed forward to kill, roaring, desperately wielding maces and horses, men and horses bathed in blood, the more they fought, the more courageous, and the momentum became more and more vigorous. The Karasuma cavalry faced these terrible monsters that could not be killed, and the bloodthirsty impulse quickly subsided, and timidity quickly welled up in their hearts. At first, they were able to resist these monster-like armored heavy cavalry with their absolute superiority in numbers, but as the casualties became heavier, the morale of the army gradually wavered, and they began to show signs of defeat and retreat, and after that, the Karasuma cavalry, who had been killed in front of them, began to flee for their lives. The armored iron cavalry swept the fleeing enemy army into it like a torrent of embankments, and swept forward with them! Stormy seas are nothing more than that!
The ironclad warriors rushed forward with dripping blood, the iron hooves trampled through the earth, trampled on the hugs, and the blood flew all over the sky, rendering the ruthless ironclad warriors and the panicked Karasuma cavalry! The Karasuma cavalry could no longer resist, and more than 100,000 cavalry rushed backwards like chickens and dogs!
The Karasuma cavalry, who was fighting with the Han army's cavalry, couldn't help but panic, and the Han army's cavalry attacked fiercely, and the Karasuma cavalry was defeated like a mountain!
The Han army pursued and killed all the way, killing the corpses of Karasuma cavalry all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.
……
As the sun set, Zhang Lang ran up a hill under the escort of the tiger guards, and looked to the north, only to see countless corpses densely scattered on the grassland, and countless war horses that had lost their owners scattered among them. I don't know if it's the influence of the afterglow of the sunset, in Zhang Lang's field of vision, the grassland in front of him has turned into a blood-stained color! A gust of wind blew, and the heavy smell of blood made Zhang Lang frown!
The armored war cavalry had long stopped the pursuit, and the array was under the hill, and nearly 20,000 war horses seemed to be made of red copper under the reflection of the setting sun, without a trace of noise, only the blood-stained battle flag hunting in the wind!
Before long, most of the sun was already diving into the skyline.
There was a surge of people in front, and Zhang Liao came back. Zhang Liao led tens of thousands of cavalry to fight for dozens of miles, killed countless enemies, and captured nearly 20,000 Karasuma cavalry. In this battle, Zhang Lang annihilated most of the 50,000 troops, which can be described as a complete victory, but he also suffered a lot of losses, and nearly 10,000 battle cavalry remained here forever, most of which were the assault cavalry troops that attracted the attention of the enemy as an early attack on both wings!
Zhang Liao rode his horse to Zhang Lang, turned over and fell off his horse, knelt down and said: "General Qiqi, our army has completely defeated the enemy, and King Karasuma has only commanded tens of thousands of remnants of his army and fled north in a hurry!" ”
Zhang Lang turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to help Zhang Liao, and patted him on the shoulder, "Wenyuan has worked hard!" He took a step forward and glanced north, "Wenyuan still has to work hard!" Lead the turks to continue the pursuit, don't seek to kill the enemy, as long as you force the Karasuma people out completely, don't let them cause trouble for the people in the state! "No!"
Zhang Liao and 33,000 Turat cavalry corrected for one night, and the next morning they marched north in pursuit. Zhang Lang sent 3,000 iron cavalry to escort the captives to Taiyuan, and he himself led the main armored cavalry to the north, preparing to completely recover all the territories of the state.
On the other side, a group of people and horses fled more than 100 miles in a hurry before they dared to stop and rest. He couldn't believe that his 180,000 war horsemen had been defeated by the opponent's 60,000 war horsemen!? He felt that this was simply a nightmare, a joke played by the Kunlun God to him! Thinking back to the men and horses I saw on the battlefield not long ago, all of them were wrapped in heavy armor, and the indomitable war horses in the sea of swords and fires couldn't help but be a spirit! That kind of war horse, it's terrifying!
