Chapter 590: Rushing head-on towards the Mo Dao Formation

A burst of hoops sounded, and in the Luoyang Army array, the flag-bearer shook the flagpole vigorously. The ink-colored battle flags fluttered like clouds of ink, indicating that there was about to be a storm in this land.

In the array of the Huns, a long sound of bull horns also floated up, and the Hun cavalry in the front was already slowly advancing forward.

Gao Shun, who carried a spear in his hand and led Yulinwei to the forefront, looked at the array of the Huns, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand holding the spear couldn't help but tighten.

Standing under the banner of the commander of the Luoyang Army, looking at the Hun front that was slowly advancing up, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth finally formed a faint smile.

He raised his hands, stretched them out, and swung them forward slightly.

Seeing Liu Wei's gesture, the 20,000 cavalry in the rear of the Luoyang Army's large array immediately divided into two groups, one under the leadership of Guan Hai, quickly marching towards the left flank of the large array, while the other was under the leadership of Yu Poison, quickly rushing towards the right flank of the large array.

Under the handsome banner of the Huns, Liu Bao frowned slightly, looking at the Luoyang army array from afar.

Although the two sides are still far away, they can already see the movement of the other side's army.

Seeing from a distance that the cavalry of the Luoyang Army was transferred to the left and right wings, and only 5,000 Lin Wei were advancing forward, Liu Bao shouted to a personal soldier beside him: "The Luoyang Army wants to attack our army from both wings, immediately send an order to send more troops and horses to the two wings!" ”

Not long after Liu Bao gave the order, the Xiongnu array also underwent a lot of changes, and the Chinese army, which was originally the most powerful in defense, actually exported many soldiers and horses to the two wings. The flanks of the Huns were strengthened, while the Chinese army was sharply weakened.

Seeing that the Huns really responded because of his deployment of cavalry, the smile on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth became much brighter.

When Liu Bao made the decision to transfer troops to deal with the roundabout flanks of the Luoyang army's cavalry, Liu Wei had a lot more confidence in winning this battle.

The Huns' front was still slowly advancing, but the Yulinwei of the Luoyang army did not have the slightest movement to continue to advance.

All the Yu Lin guards were holding a shield in one hand and a round shield in the other, staring at the Huns who were approaching them.

Gao Shun's trained Yu Linwei, strictly speaking, should be regarded as an elite of foot combat, and on horseback, their ability is slightly inferior.

But now they are facing the Huns, who are all cavalry as the combat sequence, so they have to give up the specially strengthened infantry combat method during training, and choose a relatively unfamiliar cavalry battle.

When the Huns advanced to a place only fifty or sixty steps away from Yulinwei, the strong crossbowmen in the Luoyang army's large array raised the crossbow at this time and aimed at the Huns who were slowly advancing.

Looking at the Luoyang Army, which changed from time to time, but the change was never very obvious, Liu Bao's expression became more and more confused.

The Huns had not been at war for many years, especially him, although he had fought with Uvro several times in the past.

But at that time, after all, Liu Bao was still young, and the battles that Yu Fuluo fought now, in today's view, are just equivalent to children's fights, which is not very helpful for Liu Bao's battle formation command ability.

Liu Bao, who was confused, wrinkled his brows tightly, and finally waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Order to attack!" ”

In the Xiongnu array, the horn sounded again, and the Huns who were advancing forward let out a roar, accelerated their speed, and launched a charge towards the Luoyang Army Yulinwei.

The speed of the Huns galloping faster and faster, gradually, there were more white lightning bolts on the grassland, piercing straight towards the five thousand forest guards waiting in array.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Huns launched a charge, and the Luoyang army strong crossbow array had already buckled the arrows on the strong crossbow, and with the order of the officer, the strong crossbowmen pulled off the machine springs of the strong crossbow.

A feather arrow flew towards the Huns who had already launched a charge with the sound of the wind, and at the same time, in the Luoyang Army Array, the Modao Soldier Array, which had been standing at the front of the queue, also began to advance rapidly.

The five thousand forest guards led by Gao Shun quietly stared at the Huns who attacked them.

All the Yulin guards had already raised the strong crossbow and aimed at the Huns who fell off their horses under the shooting of the strong crossbow array.

However, Yu Linwei did not detain the machine spring, although the Huns had already rushed to the range of their strong crossbows, they still waited quietly, for them, now is not the best time to fire.

The Modao Great Array, composed of nearly 10,000 Mo Dao soldiers, still maintained a neat formation when running, and after running past Yu Linwei, the Mo Dao Great Array stopped in the open space twenty steps away in front of Yu Linwei.

"Kill!" A Xiongnu general led the army to rush to the front of the Modao array, brandished a straight knife, and let out a shout.

The Huns who followed the general also shouted, and rode their horses to the Luoyang Army Mo Sword Formation, which was holding a Mo knife in both hands and staring at them with a solemn face.

The Mo knife soldier at the forefront slanted the handle of the knife to the bottom, and the tip of the Mo knife to the top, with the help of the support between the handle and the ground, a wall of knives was placed at the front of the queue.

The Mo knife soldiers behind all held the handle of the knife with both hands, pointing the Mo knife obliquely forward, and the Mo knife with the handle was shining in the sun, just like a **** bloodthirsty elf, looking forward to drinking the blood of the Huns.

The charging Huns roared angrily, seeing that they were about to kill in front of the Luoyang Army's Mo Sword Formation.

The strong crossbow array of the Luoyang army continued to shoot a puff of feather arrows to the Huns, and with the sound of the strong crossbow machine springs trembled, the arrows were clustered with bright feather arrows, like raindrops, and fell towards the Huns.

Holding a round shield, covering the crossbow arrows flying from the top of their heads, although the Huns bowed their waists, trying their best to compress the target of the crossbow arrows to the minimum, there were still pieces of Hun warriors, who were shot by feather arrows on the way to the charge, turned over and fell off their horses.

"Shoot the arrows!" When the Huns rushed to a place that was only more than ten steps away from the Mo Sword Array, Gao Shun finally pressed his raised arm down and gave the order to release the arrow.

With Gao Shun's order, the five thousand Yulin guards who had already raised their crossbows and aimed at the Huns pulled down the springs of the crossbow arrows.

The arrows fired by Yu Lin Wei are very different from those fired by the strong crossbow array.

The arrows fired by the strong crossbow array are fired in a ladder manner, in a progressive way, to keep the crossbow arrows continuous, so as to increase the casualties of the enemy.

Yu Linwei, on the other hand, fires arrows in a volley.

Although this method of firing arrows will cause a relatively long gap between the two arrows, a volley can cause casualties to the enemy that cannot be caused by progressive firing.

The arrows as dense as locusts flew towards the Huns, and the charging Huns, although they held round shields, could only block a small area on their chests.

When the arrows flew towards them, the Huns at the front were either shot by the arrows or their mounts were shrouded by the arrows, and their chests were shot like hedgehogs.

Patches of Huns fell under the feathered arrows shot by Yu Linwei, and one by one the war horses tumbled forward and fell out of the coffin. There were even a few war horses that fell directly into the array of Luoyang Junmo's sword soldiers.

Holding the Mo knife in both hands, his eyes stared at the Huns who were rushing towards them without blinking, and when the Huns finally rushed closer, nearly 10,000 Mo sword soldiers shouted in unison, but they did not immediately rush forward.

The Huns, who rushed to the front, collided with rows of sharp knife walls.

Mo Dao deeply **** their crotch under the chest of the war horse, and knocked the rapidly charging war horse to the ground.

Many Huns, after being overturned by their war horses, rolled into the air and fell heavily into the array of Modao soldiers.

These Huns who fell into the array of Modao soldiers didn't have time to get up at all, and they would be pierced by the Luoyang army closest to them with a knife.

The two armies collided in one place, and the Luoyang Army's strong crossbow array had stopped firing arrows and retreated to the rear of the array, while the Pu Dao soldiers standing behind the strong crossbow array were holding shields and Pu Dao advancing forward at this time, blocking the front of the strong crossbow array.

The strong crossbow array retreated, but the arrows of the Luoyang army did not stop.

The duty of the five thousand Yulin guards at this time was not to rush and kill the Huns, but to constantly pull the crossbow arrow machine spring and shoot a puff of feather arrows towards the Huns.

Since Yu Linwei was also riding on horseback, the height of the arrows they shot was much higher than that of the crossbow array, and they could just fly over the heads of the Mo Dao Array and cover the Huns who were fighting with the Mo Dao soldiers.

The existence of the Luoyang Army's Mo Knife Formation was because Liu Wei felt that the counterattack ability of the spear array was too weak, so he replaced the spear with a heavy and long Mo Knife.

Compared with the spear, the Mo knife not only has no defect in length, but also does not have the defect that once the enemy rushes closer, it is inconvenient to counterattack.

However, the Mo knife has a fatal flaw, that is, it is too heavy. If it is against the infantry, the heavy Mo knife will become the limitation of the soldiers' fighting, and it can be played against the cavalry, which can give full play to their advantage that they can even split with men and horses.

Bumped into the Modao array, the Hun cavalry in the front row fell in pieces, and the Modao array of the Luoyang Army was also knocked out of the gaps under the strong impact of the cavalry.

Colliding with the Luoyang Army's Modao Array, the casualties of the Huns were even more than the sum of the several arrow rain attacks that Fang had withheld.

The Mo Dao Formation confronted the cavalry, and the real lethality was concentrated on the front. If the Huns did not directly rush to the Modao Formation, but detoured from the side, the effect obtained would be a great contrast with what they are doing now.

It's a pity that the Huns have no chance to be annoyed, as more cavalry collide with the Mo knife formation, soon their cavalry lost the advantage of impact power, and had to start a flesh-to-flesh fight with the Mo knife soldiers of the Luoyang army.

Looking at the fall of the Huns on the battlefield from afar, Liu Bao's brows tightened, and he shouted to the soldiers behind him again: "Attack with two wings!" ”
