Chapter 936 The Divine Power of the Martial Saint
Mobile reading
Abandoning the Southern Barbarian Army, which was not strong in combat, Wei Fan led the army back to kill, wanting to lead the army to kill the flank of the Zhangjia heavy cavalry.
"I'll go to meet the enemy, and General Rui just rushes forward." Guan Yu, who was always paying attention to Wei Fan's performance, saw that the other party led the cavalry from the side, and immediately volunteered to rush over with three thousand heavy cavalry.
Now the main force of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry is rushing forward with an undeservable momentum, if it stops halfway, the offensive will be much worse than before, and he knows the truth that he has been declining again and again, and now the strength is not stronger than the other party, if the momentum is inferior to others, then this battle will be really difficult to fight.
Guan Yu led the cavalry away, Zhang Rui saw it clearly, but he did not stop it, this was the plan that had been set before, and now what he needed was to lead the main force to defeat the enemy on the opposite side, and then support Guan Yu in return. "Come on, keep attacking, kill the enemy!"
On the frontal battlefield, there was not the slightest confusion because of the appearance of General Wei Fan, the Zhang family heavy cavalry was still moving forward bravely, and the pikemen in front of him were getting fewer and fewer, and even some cavalry had begun to contact with the Pu Dao soldiers of the third echelon of the enemy.
With a light shield in one hand and a big sword in the other, it seems to be a combination of offense and defense.
Such a military class is naturally the best candidate to deal with archers, but in the face of cavalry that is much higher than them, this advantage no longer exists, and even because the shield is too light and the area is too small, and the long distance of the broadsword is not enough, when facing the cavalry, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to let others slaughter.
"Raise your shield to defend, and the archers release their arrows!" Seeing that the formation of the pikemen was disrupted and began to disperse, the general of the Pak Dao soldiers had a nervous expression, although he knew that the Pak Dao did not have the slightest advantage over the cavalry, but there were archers behind him, and all his hopes were pinned on them. As long as the bow and arrow can pose a threat to the iron cavalry of the Celestial Empire, the Pu sword soldiers are blocking the opponent's attack, and it is especially unknown who wins and who loses.
The bet was placed on the archers, and for a while, there were dense bows and arrows in the direction of the Qiang Kingdom, covering the direction of the Zhangjia heavy cavalry. There are 10,000 archers and soldiers, and each of them has 100 bows and arrows, and if they are all shot, they will be a million, which should be very traumatic for a cavalry team of less than 20,000 people.
After the bow and arrow were shot, everyone was looking forward to the emergence of a one-sided situation, as long as the Zhang Jiazhong cavalry was suppressed by the bow and arrow, and the losses were too heavy, it was time for the Pu Dao soldiers to start fighting back with all their might...
......
Guan Yu took 3,000 Zhang's heavy horsemen and killed General Wei Fan, who rushed out of the Southern Barbarian Army.
Before anyone arrived, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air rang out first.
The bow and arrow of the Zhang family heavy cavalry was super powerful, and once again played a huge role, under the strong attack of those specially made sharp and heavy bows and arrows, I saw that the cavalry team on the opposite side continued to have people hit the ground by arrows.
Originally, there were 8,000 cavalry following General Wei Fan, which could be called the most elite cavalry team in the Wuqiang Kingdom. The Southern Barbarian Army was defeated and retreated just now, and this cavalry also played a considerable role.
And it was this cavalry, which was regarded as invincible by the lord of the Qiang State and the people, and when facing the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, which was only one-third of them, it really suffered a heavy blow. After that wave of bows and arrows, it took at least a thousand lives.
Three thousand bows and arrows were fired, and nearly a thousand people were killed, which is a one-third of the strike ratio, which is a very outstanding achievement for archers.
But for Zhang Jiazhongqi, the results can only be regarded as above average. At its best, 3,000 bows and arrows were fired, and nearly 2,000 of them were killed.
Of course, this also proves from the side that this cavalry team of 8,000 people is indeed elite, looking at the results in front of him, General Guan Yu, who led the team, has a solemn face. He knew that the first tough battle after entering the Western Regions was coming, and with the elite against the elite, this feeling made him even more warlike.
The real fierce general is like this, the stronger the stronger.
If they are facing a group of weak soldiers who have no ability to fight back, they may still feel bored. But now it is different, even if the opponent's military strength is strong, then as an opponent, it also arouses infinite fighting spirit.
"Chain Array!"
After sending out a wave of bows and arrows to injure thousands of enemies, the cavalry on both sides began to quickly pick up each other, at such a distance, it was obviously impossible to stretch the bow and wait, even so, Guan Yu used the second secret weapon of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry.
The so-called iron chain rope array, is a thick and black iron chain by the Zhang family heavy cavalry warriors to take out, and then a chain of about five meters long by two people each hold a handle, and then by the speed and strength of the heavy cavalry impact, let this iron chain form a fierce force, into the circle of the enemy cavalry, began to horizontal or vertical heavy damage to the enemy, harvest life.
This is the tactics studied by Zhang Jiazhong under the guidance of Emperor Zhang Chao, and the main opponent is mainly cavalry.
No one saw it before, but it was because the Zhang family's heavy cavalry rarely faced the cavalry, even if it was a match or twice, the opponent's combat power was not strong, and there was no need for such a formation. But now, even though Wei Fan's arrival has given Guan Yu such a strong sense of crisis, this time he will naturally not hide it.
As soon as the four characters of the iron chain rope array came out, the three thousand cavalry immediately put down the bows and arrows in their hands, took out the heavy iron chains hidden on their bodies, and then waved them out.
"What is this?" A lot of rushing cavalry of the Qiang country, after countless black chains appeared in front of them, they had a bad feeling in their hearts, but the cavalry is not like the infantry, can stop the pace of moving forward at any time, the momentum has been formed, if it is suddenly stopped by the horse, not to mention whether it is possible for people to fall from the horse, just say that once the cavalry behind can not brake the car, the impact together, the resulting losses are also extremely serious.
Not daring to stop, the cavalry could only continue to advance and rushed to the front of the chain array.
"All..."
"Horn..."
It seemed to be raining densely, and when the cavalry of the Qiang State rushed in front of the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, many people crashed into the iron chain, and then because of the strong inertia and impact, they fell off their horses one after another.
Once the cavalry fell off their horses, they lost their greatest advantage, and the five hundred Zhangjia heavy cavalry, who had not joined the iron chain array, were even more prepared, and they all held long knives and slashed at the elite cavalry of the Wuqiang Kingdom who fell to the ground.
Just by looking at his face, at least 2,000 Wuqiang cavalry fell to the ground by a stroke, and less than 300 of them were able to flee backwards because of their quick reaction, which was considered to have saved a life, but most of them were hacked to death without even shouting for help.
The cavalry team of the Qiang Kingdom, which lost 3,000 people in an instant, involuntarily produced a trace of panic, and this emotion also made some cavalry begin to slow down the pace of advance, in the final analysis, this is just a habitual reaction of human nature in the face of danger.
In the past, they dealt with the enemy like this, and after a battle, they fought as much as they wanted, and killed as much as they wanted. But now, they have become weak, and they have become the object of being bullied, how can this huge contrast not make people feel afraid?
And it was the sluggish work of the cavalry of the Qiang State, Guan Yu took the Zhang family heavy cavalry to kill them in front of them.
After long-range bows and arrows and a slightly closeer chain array attack, all that was left of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry was melee combat. And when the troops are inferior to the other side, the next can be called a hard battle. Although they have super strong armor protection, on the battlefield, when both sides begin to fight for their lives, casualties are inevitable, not to mention, the opponent's existing strength is nearly twice as large as theirs.
If the cavalry of the Wuqiang State at this moment continued to move forward bravely, even if they would still be defeated by the Zhang family heavy cavalry in the end, the difference would not be too big, but now, they did stop the pace of charging because of fear and fear, and the originally somewhat tilted balance of war would only increase its strength at this moment.
Guan Yu is a fierce general, and the slightest change on the battlefield will be noticed and used by him. Seeing that the elite cavalry of the Qiang Kingdom, who was the opponent and the enemy, was actually afraid, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately took decisive measures, that is, to rush straight to kill the enemy, he wanted to expand this fear infinitely, and completely crush the opponent's fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
"Kill!" With a loud shout, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand slashed towards a cavalryman of the Qiang Kingdom as if it had eyes.
This cavalryman of the Wuqiang Kingdom has not yet recovered from fear, especially after seeing the power of the iron chain array, he actually gave birth to a sense of invincibility in his heart, in his opinion, this Zhang family heavy cavalry is clearly the devil, it is difficult to defeat.
And just when such a thought had not yet been waved out of his mind, the green dragon glaive knife came to him, and with instinct, the cavalryman of the Qiang Kingdom also swung his long knife, intending to hold it up or block it out.
If he encounters other opponents, this may be the right thing to do, and it will also play some role, but this time he is facing Guan Yu, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people and has the title of Martial Saint in later generations, such a grid will naturally not play a role. He just raised the long knife in his hand, and then he felt the strength of his body disperse, and then the long knife fell from his hand.
