The cavalry is not invincible in this era, in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, that period of the Han family had to use the strategy of harmony in exchange for border peace, and from time to time it was shamelessly invaded by the Huns. Next, it was the initial battle of the war against the Xiongnu that began, and it was also a sign event of the Xiongnu's decline, the decisive battle of Mobei.

In that battle, the Han army's war horses were still pitiful, far inferior to the Xiongnu. In that battle, Wei Qing set up a large chariot formation, using the cart to resist the charge of the Hun cavalry, plus the cavalry from the left and right, breaking the Huns.

For a long time after that, it was the history of the Han cavalry, and in the cavalry hedging, the losses of the Han cavalry and the Hun cavalry were often one to three battle losses, that is, one Han cavalry was killed, and about three Hun cavalry were going to die. Even later, the Xiongnu had to imitate the Han cavalry in order to have the capital to fight. But at that time, in the invincible years when the champion Hou Huo went to illness, they were no longer the Huns who had made several generations of emperors of the Western Han Dynasty wary of.

Facing the rushing cavalry, Gao Shun knew how terrible the impact of the cavalry was, so he asked a soldier in armor to face him, and after being hit, he had to be knocked out, and his bones were broken and he died. Even if he doesn't die all of a sudden, the next trampling of the war horse will not make people have a moment of luck to survive.

Because he used to be a cavalryman, he once followed Lu Bu to conquer Xianbei, and in that equally invincible cavalry, Gao Shun had a very deep understanding of cavalry. He knew that cavalry was still the protagonist on the battlefield, and as long as it was not in the siege campaign, cavalry was a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

However, it is not the cavalry that can decide everything.

The remaining more than 100 soldiers were really vulnerable in Gao Shun's eyes. When the number of people decreased, correspondingly, the threat of cavalry gradually weakened.

First, a wave of crossbow arrows, the dead and wounded cavalry among the cavalry, will naturally slow down the speed of those who are still alive. As soon as the speed is slow, the impact will be weakened, and when it hits the shield held by the soldier, the damage will not be so great.

But Gao Shun will not be tied, waiting for the cavalry to attack him, after mastering the opportunity, then next, we must always seize this opportunity, step by step, step by step.

Let him face the cavalry, even if he is a well-trained soldier in the trap camp that he is most proud of, and has a shield as protection, Gao Shun will not let the cavalry rush over. With the strength of the cavalry's collision, there is the protection of the shield, and it is impossible to protect the huge force that is transmitted, that is, at that moment, the soldier's hand holding the shield will not be able to hold the shield, and the whole person will be knocked backwards.

He had always envisioned that the Trap would be the most ruthless and efficient army, and that would be as steel on the battlefield, unable to make them retreat no matter what the situation faced. But really, they are people, not steel, and steel will not be damaged in the face of such an attack, but people will.

Not only will it hurt, but it will also die.

Instead of putting your fate on someone else's side, waiting for someone else to take the lead, praying that your enemies will let you go, or make a mistake, it is better to hold your destiny firmly. Don't expect the enemy to take the initiative to do something, the two armies are fighting, either you die or I live, this is always an extremely ridiculous extravagant hope.

Closer, five meters.

A breath later, the cavalry arrived.

Gao Shun shouted: "Scatter! ”

"Slash!"

In the gaps of the scattered shields, one after another trapped soldiers stepped forward, and the long knives in their hands were heavier than ordinary and thicker!

It is said that it is a long knife, and its practical chopping knife is more appropriate to describe it, each knife is heavier than the ordinary long knife, and at the same time, the forging time is longer than that of the general long knife, and the iron cost is more, which also means that the investment is more.

Such a horse chopping knife weighs thirty or forty pounds, and ordinary people may not be able to hold it, let alone carry it with them, and use it to kill the enemy on the battlefield. However, the soldiers trapped in the camp are different, and from the first day of training, they have started weight-bearing training, and the accumulation of training day after day has enabled them to easily carry dozens of pounds of weight and move freely.

In the same way, when rushing to the front of this moment, those habits that have been cultivated in training, obedience, so that no one will have fear, hesitation, and so on. Every soldier has long been accustomed to obeying Gao Shun's orders, in their eyes, Gao Shun, the commander of the trapped camp, will be right in everything, they don't need to think too much, just do what he orders.

The chopping knife slashed, the same action, almost every chopping knife fell less than a few tenths of a second, and this faint difference in order could not be seen at all. I could only hear the heavy wind howling as the sword fell, as if it was about to cut the space.

The rushing war horses, before they could collide with the soldiers trapped in the camp, the cavalry on the horses had not yet reacted, and immediately saw the half-human high horse chopping knife falling. In an instant, the war horse neighed, and before its neighing could spread completely, everything had come to an abrupt halt.

The sound of blood splattering overshadowed everything, and when the war horse was cut in two by the saber, the high-speed running brought about the rapid flow of blood in the body, and it splattered out at once. Whether it is the bones of the war horse, or other internal organs and blood vessels, they are all under this knife, without any resistance.

Death.

One after another, the horses were split apart with the belt, and the entire front half of the body was split in two, and even if there was still inertia rushing forward, it had already become a glide on the ground. The cavalry on the horse fell from the back of the war horse, and when they looked around, there were the internal organs of the war horse, the place where the hands fell, and touched the hot blood, the cavalrymen were still dazed.

Several of the cavalrymen were also stained with blood spurting from their bodies, and their heads were drenched all over their bodies. Wet, hot blood trickled down their heads and fell to the ground, making them look terrible.

The strong smell of horse blood made them feel a thrill and sober up, though they couldn't believe it was really what had happened. But instinct still made them grab the spear in their hands, stand up, and prepare to fight again.

Before they could take a step, the expressions on their faces became particularly wonderful when they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them. When he looked at the enemy who retreated in front of him and stood up with the saber in his hand, he immediately lost all his will to fight.

They're cavalry! Cavalry, without war horses, how can it be called cavalry? What's more, although the cavalry without the war horse can still fight, it is far less powerful than when it was on the back of the war horse.

Staggered, the chopping knives in their hands ticked down the blood of the row of soldiers in the camp took a step back, and many of them also had a bloody stain on their faces. They were covered with horse blood, so that their breath had a strong smell of blood that was inhaled together, not to mention that it was still wrapped around their noses all the time.

When I opened and closed my eyes, blood dripped from my eyebrows, and my eyelids constantly had a strong urge to close. Their expressions were serious, and no one reached out to wipe the blood from their faces, which was replaced by blood that everyone else would feel sick and vomiting, and seemed to them to be an ordinary thing, and it could not make them have any other emotions at all.

The trapped camp soldiers who fell one step forward, waved the horse chopping knife in their hands and slashed forward like the retreating trapped camp soldiers, crisp and neat, incomparably neat.

Standing on the side and looking at the past, it almost looked like dozens of knives had become a knife and slashed down. It was so dense, there were no gaps, and with the size of those war horses, there was no way to break through the fallen horse swords.

There was another burst of blood, the blood was rising, and the horse blood sprinkled on the entire ground had accumulated into a small pool of blood, plus some minced flesh and internal organs, broken bones, constituting a completely cruel scene. In addition, there were particularly unlucky cavalrymen among them, who were hacked to death with men and horses under this knife, and their corpses appeared in a pool of blood, adding a touch of blood to the scenes.

The swords of the soldiers in the camp were all falling towards the horses of each cavalry, and they didn't care about the cavalry on the horses, even if any cavalry found out that something was wrong before them and stabbed out their spears, it couldn't cause them much damage. As long as they don't stab the vital points in the face, then basically no soldiers in the camp will be knocked down and fall backwards.

Therefore, when cutting off the sabers, the soldiers in the camp bowed their heads slightly, and let the helmets they wore on their heads meet the spears stabbed by the cavalry on those horses. As long as they get off their horses and kill their horses, the so-called cavalry is nothing more than a group of soldiers who can be easily killed.

In fact, no matter which soldier is trapped, he knows why he is so troublesome to form a formation and face the rushing cavalry. On the one hand, it was because it was to reduce the damage received, and on the other hand, it was more immediate, for fear that these cavalry would suddenly escape.

The soldiers in the camp can run more than ten miles with weights, but it is ridiculous to compete with the speed of war horses. Therefore, they naturally had to choose a way to keep these cavalrymen behind, so that if the cavalry really escaped, they really couldn't catch up.
