Chapter 956: Iron Cavalry Formation
The collision of the two strongest iron horses in the world should have been incomparably spectacular, full of passion and blood, like a big scene like turning over the river and the sea. However, due to the disturbance of Zhao Yun and his light horse, it became a complete one-sided.
Rapid ejection,
veer
Change formations.
The Tempest Rider maximizes the ease with which the clutch soldiers can gather and disperse, all in just a few breaths. In this process, the light horsemen shot at least two rounds of arrows on average, and some of them were fast-eyed, such as Zhao Yun, who even fired their bows four times in a row!
The regular strength of the Tempest Army consisted of four battalions and eight thousand cavalry. In the previous series of battles, more than two men and horses were lost, and at the beginning of this battle, there were about 6,300 horsemen. On the flanks, there were more than 1,000 cavalry for the troops used as a lure and cover, and there were more than 4,000 light cavalry left in the Chinese army, that is to say, the wind cavalry shot a total of more than 8,000 armor-piercing cones!
Although the iron armor of the tiger and leopard ride is also excellent, it is still not enough to see in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows. The Wind Army is worthy of the name of the unparalleled cavalry and archery, although it is galloping, but the hit rate is still frighteningly high, more than 8,000 armor-piercing cones, and the number of missing is much less than that of hitting the target!
Of the two thousand tiger riders who launched the charge, less than half of them rushed in front of the Flame Iron Cavalry under the rain of arrows, and the formation was even more scattered, completely out of shape. These survivors were not unscathed, most of them had a few arrows stuck in their bodies, and their blood flowed for a long time.
The group charge of the cavalry should also pay attention to the formation. The formation of the tiger cavalry is chaotic, and the morale is also lost, but the number of people who have to fight is as high as three times their own side, and they have been recuperating until now, and the victory or defeat can be imagined......
There is no expected splendor and grandeur, only the exuberance of devastating and decaying!
The neat and orderly Wind Light Cavalry Brigade completely dispersed, divided into two groups on the left and right, protruding around the side of the Tiger Rider, and the rain of arrows shot from both sides, continuing to cause damage to the Tiger Rider. The iron horseman, who had been pressing the speed, suddenly accelerated, as neat as a long wall, as fierce as the tide of the sea!
"Left and right are a death, fight with them!"
Pound was probably the most injured of the survivors, and he rode his horse forward from the start, attracting the attention of a considerable number of shooters. At this moment, more than 20 feather arrows were inserted in his burly body, covered in blood, which was shocking, but he didn't realize it, and he was still shouting and fighting, prancing horses and swords.
"What a pound, what a good general Xiliang!" Although it was on the verge of battle, Wang Yu still praised it from the bottom of his heart.
In his impression, Pound is a typical image of a fierce general. It is definitely not possible for this kind of person to let him be in charge alone, but he is definitely a good hand when he is used to take the lead in capturing the flag.
In the Qingzhou Army, this type of military general, I am afraid that there is only one Tai Shi Ci who can compete with Pang De. Although Zhao Yun's martial arts are high, he is calm, low-key, brave and brave, but his strength is worse than Pang De.
Up to now, Wang Yu doesn't feel sorry for it, and he must say that if he has any regrets, that is, he didn't have the opportunity to see the fair battle between Tai Shici and Pang De.
Pound's bravery really inspired many people, and more than 100 horsemen gathered in response to the call and rushed forward head-on.
"Pang Lingming is here, who dares to fight!" Pang De had already seen Tai Shi Ci leading the charge, so he shouted provocation, wanting to use the agitation method to provoke Tai Shi Ci to fight alone, and use his own sacrifice to win a respite for the rear team.
There was no answer, only the sound of horses' hooves.
It's just that in an instant, the yellow horse, who was wrapped in iron armor and couldn't see his original appearance, had already forced in front of Pound. Pound's whole body trembled, but it was too late to react, he could only watch as two cold rays of light burst into the air one after another, and the stirred air flow seemed to have cut his cheeks.
First, the spear that stabbed straight over, a little cold came straight to the throat, and the frightened Pound crossed the hilt of the knife, and used all his strength to parry from the bottom up.
As soon as this shot was set, the painted halberd that slashed diagonally arrived. The crescent blade shone with dazzling light, slashing through the void with the momentum of slashing through the vastness, just in time for the moment when Pound's old power was exhausted and the new power was not born.
Just listen to the sound of "click", the arc of light passed through the middle of the handle without hindrance, and the refined handle was cut in two!
Pound's face was like ashes.
The opponent's moves were too fast and his strength was sufficient, and his physical strength was too much to face such an opponent in the previous charge.
At the moment when the two passed by, a gun and a halberd on the opposite side swirled quickly, and another straight stab and oblique slash came. The trick is not complicated, it is just a simple vertical split, but one move is faster and more powerful than the other!
In desperation, Pound pulled out the long sword at his waist and fought back, the halberd tangled in the air, and the brittle saber shattered into pieces under the strength of the halberd. The crescent halberd, which was slightly bounced off by the saber, only shook in the air, and then slashed down like lightning again!
In a moment, Pound's body swooped forward, and he rolled off the horse. The halberd fell, and his white horse let out an earth-shattering wail, and blood gushed out from the middle of the saddle, breaking the saddle in two, and a bloody streak on the white horse's back. After the knife cut off the saddle, it slashed into the horse's body by a foot!
Pulling out the halberd, Tai Shici had no intention of turning back or chasing at all. He is no longer the reckless man who can only fight bravely, and with Pound's superiority, how can the victory or defeat of the war matter?
I couldn't completely solve the enemy, so I naturally had the robes behind me to cook, and what I had to do was to move forward, keep moving forward, and step on everything that dared to stand in front of the lord's flag!
"Big Han Tiger Ben......" Tai Shi Ci drank violently, the spear turned into a storm again, and the autumn wind swept away the cavalry that followed Pound's recoil like a fallen leaf.
"Invincible in the world!" With pride and glory, the cavalry shouted with all their strength.
The first time this slogan was shouted was at Jieqiao, when the cavalry in Qingzhou combined was less than a thousand. Since that day, the cavalry of Qingzhou has never lost a battle, and when the brothers shouted in unison, no matter what kind of enemy, they could only tremble!
Now, the battle horn has changed to two words, and the meaning of the representation is more worthy of pride.
The older generation often said that when the Han Dynasty was strong, as long as the sound of the hooves of the Han horses was heard, both the grassland and the desert would tremble. Whether it is the Huns, the Xianbei or the countries of the Western Regions, they only beg for mercy in the hinterland, and no one dares to face the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty.
A hundred years have passed, the past is gone, and the glory is no more, which is embarrassing.
However, who would have thought that the day of recasting glory would come again so soon? Create a new Han Dynasty, spread the prestige like the sun, and make the whole world worship the orthodoxy of China...... What is the significance of this battle?
"Duanli ......" Wang Yu's roar penetrated the mask armor and spread throughout the Chinese army. Lu Qiling, who was forcibly pulled by his side and could not join the forward array, raised the horn and blew it vigorously, turning her worries and sorrows into a high-pitched horn, and the dragon roared like a tiger roaring throughout the army.
"Woo, woo...... Woooooo The girl suddenly understood why, after seeing the arrival of reinforcements, her father did not shrink his defense and stall for time. Maybe this is the pride of my father, immediately take fame, how idle life and death, whether it is life, death, dreams, or drunk, as long as all the excitement blooms, it is enough to be wonderful enough!
With the sound of horns, the iron cavalry soldiers leveled the three thousand lances neatly and pushed forward with a firm and steady pace. They brought up billowing clouds of smoke and dust and swooped into the tiger rider's array like angry dragons.
The tiger and leopard rider who rushed to meet the battle was like tofu that had touched a kitchen knife, and in an instant, it was torn apart! The snow-bright lance stabbed past in rows, carrying the strength of the war horse galloping, and stabbed the enemy off the horse effortlessly.
Cao Jun, who was pierced, was picked up from the saddle and flew up, spilled a stream of blood in mid-air, and was thrown forward at the moment when the horse lance rebounded. Those who were lucky enough to be protected by iron armor were not much better, and in the tide of three thousand iron horsemen, even a brave general like Pang De could not stand up again on his own strength after falling off his horse.
There were no screams, no moans, not even the wails of the horses that had lost their masters, all voices were swallowed up in an instant by the sound of heavy horses' hooves and the clanging of armor!
Heaven and earth seem to have lost their color, and only simple and cold red and black remain. Crimson iron armor, shining lances, red banners, red war horses, and dark red blood flowed into rivers on the gray-white earth......
Cao Cao had never seen such a sharp attack, and he couldn't believe that all this was real. In a few breaths, he didn't issue any response orders, just stared straight ahead, watching his carefully built elite troops fall one after another under the opponent's horses.
He was like a newcomer who had just entered the battlefield, and his thighs and calves were shaking at the same time. He was like a soul that had been detached from the shell, looking at the layers of corpses, without joy or sorrow, without sorrow or joy.
Suddenly, his soul returned to his body, his throat and eyes were sweet, and a hot and salty thing rushed to his brain.
"The whole army is forward, fight with them!" He spurted out a mouthful of blood, screamed hoarsely, and his face was full of tears.
"Boom!"
A huge roar suddenly came from the center of the wild goose marching array, shaking the mountains for a while. When Tai Shi Ci took the lead in breaking through the enemy formation, he found that the enemy's military formation suddenly became higher out of thin air.
It was another elite army built by Cao Cao, three thousand iron-armored spearmen led by Le Jin.
At first, these iron-armored foot soldiers were half-kneeling in the ground, forming a dense spear formation with huge spears that were two feet and eight feet long. At this time, they raised the spears weighing seventeen catties with all their might, and fell down, each of which pressed on the shoulders of the robe in front of them, and a dense spear formation was formed. The layers of spears have created a steel thorn!
It's a standard infantry versus cavalry battle formation, like a steel hedgehog with its body curled up, leaving the enemy at bay. If it is combined with the cover of the two-wing bow and crossbow, it can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
The main task of the cavalry is to delay the enemy, contain the enemy, and make it impossible for the enemy to maneuver as he wants.
Looking at the dense thorns in front of him, Tai Shici did not hesitate at all, raised the halberd in his right hand, and shouted wildly: "Brothers, follow me into battle!" ”
"Step into battle!"
"Step into battle!"
The shouts were wave after wave, and the three thousand iron horsemen turned into a fire dragon, roaring with an indomitable momentum!
