Chapter 192: Ghost Cavalry
Yunyuan originally belonged to the Zhao State, Qin destroyed Zhao, and placed Yunzhong County.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an anti-Qin riot in Daze Township, the world swarmed, all parts of the Kanto region rebelled, Yunzhong County successively merged with the Dai State and the Zhao State, after a long war, the Qin people who settled in Yunzhong County and the Kwantung immigrants either died or died, until now, only the Linhu tribe is still nomadic in the Yunzhong grassland.
Later, King Lin Hu simply occupied Cloud City.
However, today's Cloud City is no longer the same as when it was just built, most of the earth walls built by loess ramming have collapsed, and the Linhu people have only filled up wooden fences on dozens of large and small gaps, which can barely resist the invasion of wild beasts, and it is impossible to resist the enemy's attack.
When his soldiers entered the big tent, King Lin Hu was enjoying a golden wine lord.
"Oh no, my lord!" The pro-soldier knelt on one knee and said nervously, "The Central Plains people have been killed!" ”
"What, Central Plains?" King Lin Hu put down the golden wine lord and frowned, "Where are the Central Plains people, are they Koreans from Yanmen, or Chu people from Jiuyuan?" "Yunzhong County is close to Yanmen and Jiuyuan, in addition to Xiangzhuang in Jiuyuan, there are also many business contacts with Han Wangxin in Yanmen.
"Yes, yes, it's a native of Chu in Jiuyuan!"
"Chu people?!" King Lin Hu was taken aback when he heard this.
If it was a Korean from Yanmen, King Lin Hu was not afraid, and he couldn't beat it.
If it is the Chu people from Jiuyuan, it will be troublesome, the last time the Chu army defeated the Hugh Tu people in the battle of Gaoque Pass, King Linhu had already heard that the 40,000 troops of King Hugh Tu were not the opponents of the Chu army, and now there are only more than 5,000 horsemen left in the Linhu tribe, how can they beat the Chu army? The key Chu army is also cavalry, and you can't run!
Gritting his teeth, King Lin Hu roared angrily: "Golden Arrow herald, all departments assemble!" ”
When Xiang Zhuang personally led 8,000 cavalry to the outside of Yunzhong City, the 5,000 Linhu cavalry had also completed the assembly.
Although King Linhu was greedy, he was not stupid, he did not order the city to be defended, if the city was defended, the Linhu people would face the strong bows and crossbows of the Chu army with backward armaments, it would be to defend to death! At that time, the four city gates and dozens of gaps were blocked by the Chu army, and King Lin Hu couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
"Hurry up, push the bed crossbow up!"
"And the catapult, set up the catapult!"
As soon as King Lin Hu gave the order, five hundred bed crossbows were pushed to the front of the formation, and fifty catapults were also erected high in the Lin Hu formation.
From a distance, the fifty catapults looked like fifty gigantic monsters, hideous and terrifying.
However, Xiang Zhuang on the opposite side had an indifferent expression, these bed crossbows and catapults had already been disposed of by the public cart before they were traded to the Lin Hu people, this would, the crossbow arms of the five hundred bed crossbows and the slinger arms of the catapults should have rotted a long time ago, right? When Xiang Zhuang gently raised his right hand and pressed forward, the eight thousand cavalry began to move forward slowly.
When there were still a thousand steps away from the Lin Hu people, Xiang Zhuang lightly urged the black horse and began to accelerate.
Behind Xiang Zhuang, the three thousand Qin cavalry and Pang Yu's five thousand Wei cavalry also began to speed up, and when there were less than seven hundred steps left from the Lin Hu people, the eight thousand cavalry had fully picked up, and for a while, I saw the horse's head moving, the horse's mane fluttering, and tens of thousands of iron hooves violently knocking on the earth, dusty and broken grass splashed everywhere, and there was a thunderous roar.
In front of the Lin Hu array on the other side, King Lin Hu suddenly changed his face, and immediately turned around and shouted at the hundreds of Lin Hu strong men who were desperately twisting the winch of the crossbow machine: "Hurry up, move quickly......"
Before the words fell, the crossbow arms of the five hundred bed crossbows suddenly broke one after another!
The five hundred strong men who were guarding behind the crossbow on the bed with wooden guns and waiting to be fired were caught off guard, and dozens of people were seriously injured by the rebounding crossbow arms, and two of the most unlucky ones were directly hit in the head by the crossbow arms, and the red blood plasma and white brain pulp suddenly splashed everywhere, spraying everywhere, which will be extremely shocking.
Almost at the same time, the arms of fifty catapults were also broken!
King Lin Hu's face suddenly turned pale, these cunning Central Plains people had already done something to these bed crossbows and catapults, hateful, really hateful!
"King, the Central Plains cavalry is rushing over!" One of the soldiers screamed in dismay. ,
King Lin Hu Huo Ran turned around, only to see that the surging Chu cavalry was already within five hundred steps!
"Damn!" King Linhu gritted his teeth, and suddenly took out his double-edged heavy sword and raised it high above the top, and roared angrily, "Warriors of the Linhu tribe, assault, the whole army assault......"
##########
Xiang Zhuang took the lead and galloped wildly.
The cold north wind blows on the face, it hurts like a knife cut, the ground under his feet retreats like a tide, but there are clearly two flames burning in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, after months of hard work, training, the Chu army light cavalry finally became an army, today, let the Lin Hu people become the first sacrifice of the Chu army light cavalry!
The Lin Hu people on the opposite side also met them fearlessly.
Suddenly, Xiang Zhuang raised his horizontal knife above the top, and raised his head to the sky and roared: "Whoa......"
In an instant, the eight thousand light horsemen who followed behind him quickly spread out towards the two wings, and in less than a moment, a horizontal formation of one thousand cavalry per row and eight rows in front and behind was set up.
Xiang Zhuang raised the horizontal knife over the top and then gently led forward, and the eight thousand light cavalry brushed out the horn bow, and then immediately pulled the bow and arrows, and the cold arrow clusters were already aimed at the surging Lin Hu cavalry in front, and suddenly, the horizontal knife in Xiang Zhuang's hand had been cut down indifferently, and the next moment, the eight thousand light cavalry released the bowstring at the same time.
In an instant, 8,000 wolf's tooth heavy arrows have swept up in the air, and in the piercing scream, 8,000 sharp arrows have been intertwined in the air into a large endless rain of dead arrows, and they fell towards the heads of the Lin Hu cavalry.
After two waves of arrow rain, the cavalry of the two sides was less than a hundred paces apart!
King Linhu raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and the Linhu cavalry also drew their short bows, ready to fight back.
Almost at the same time, Xiang Zhuang returned his sword and raised his right hand high, and then shook his hand into a fist!
Seeing Xiang Zhuang's gesture, the eight thousand light horsemen who followed up behind him turned their horses' heads one after another, like a turbulent torrent that suddenly split into two streams, and cut diagonally to the left and right wings of the Lin Hu people, and when the last row of Chu army light cavalry separated left and right, a strange cavalry suddenly appeared like a ghost!
"This is ......," King Linhu's pupils contracted sharply in an instant.
The Lin Hu people, who were closely following King Lin Hu and were waiting to fight with the Central Plains people, also widened their eyes in horror.
What kind of cavalry is this? The knight on horseback was covered in heavy armor all over his body, and even his face was covered with a layer of dark visor! There were only two swarthy slits, revealing the knight's cold eyes! What is especially unbelievable is that the horses of this group of cavalry are actually wearing iron armor!
Also, each ghost cavalry was holding a thick and long spear, the sharp tip of the spear was erected high, and pierced straight into the void, its length was three or four zhang long, at least three or four zhang long, on the left and right sides of the ghost cavalry saddle, there was also a single-edged long knife that bent forward, and the blade on the inside was cold and shining, and it looked very sharp!
Although there are not many cavalry in this group, it is only two hundred or so horses, and the front of the unfolded is only three or four hundred steps, but the pressure on the Linhu people is unprecedented, for the unknown, human beings will always feel instinctive fear, for this group of ironclad cavalry that they have never seen, every Linhu person feels fear and trembling from the depths of their souls.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" King Lin Hu took a deep breath of cold air, raised his sword and roared, "Shoot them!" ”
More than 5,000 Linhu cavalry pulled their bows and released arrows, and more than 5,000 feather arrows with bronze arrows suddenly intertwined into a dense rain of arrows, and fell towards the heads of more than 200 ghost cavalrymen, but the next moment, the Linhu people were surprised to find that this group of ghost cavalry was unscathed, and even the speed did not slow down in the slightest!
The feathered arrows shot by the Lin Hu people were not enough to penetrate the heavy armor of this group of ghost cavalry!
Suddenly, this group of ghostly cavalry was less than fifty paces away from the Lin Hu cavalry.
"Whew...... Ha! The ghost cavalry galloping in the middle suddenly roared to the sky, and more than two hundred ghost cavalry pressed down the spears that pierced the void, and in an instant, more than two hundred spears three or four zhang long formed a row of cold death spears in front of the cavalry formation, and then crushed towards the Lin Hu people. ,
Suddenly, an unstoppable fury of rage crushed towards the Lin Hu people.
In the face of such a group of ghostly cavalry like steel monsters, in the face of such a terrifying momentum, no one can be calm, no one can be fearless, and no one can be fearless, and no matter how indifferent life is the grassland Hu people, they still can't.
"Devil, these are all devils, run, everyone run, wow......"
"Oh my God, oh my God, I don't want to die, let's run."
"Damn, what kind of monster is this? I don't want to stay here and die! ”
In the midst of endless fear, more and more Linhu people turned back and joined the ranks of fleeing.
"Don't retreat, don't retreat...... King Lin Hu brandished his double-edged sword and roared desperately, trying to redeem the defeat, but no one paid attention to him, not even his personal guard cavalry.
In the sound of iron hooves shaking the earth, more than 200 riding ghosts finally violently crashed into the messy Linhu cavalry formation, and the battlefield suddenly exploded with a violent impact sound, and in an instant, more than 200 horsemen were pierced by sharp spears, and the mounts under their crotches were also knocked over and crushed to death by the mounts of the ghost cavalry.
King Linhu, who rushed to the front with a sword, bore the brunt of the attack, and was stabbed through the chest by the spear in the hand of the ghost cavalry in the middle, and then the whole person was hung on the spear and taken away from the horse, until he swallowed his last breath, King Linhu did not see the appearance of the ghost cavalry, and the last impression he saw was the two cold killing intent that came out of the other party's eyes! . )
