Chapter 45: The Bloody Battle with Eight Thousand Iron Horsemen
The system wild city was knocked down, and it also belonged to Xiao Chen's name, and then this city was named Heavenly City. When he named it, the old wolf was stunned and smiled at Xiao Chen for most of the day. also laughed while saying that Xiao Chen's name was really creative. Looking at the smiling old wolf covering his stomach, Xiao Chen's face suddenly darkened.
Kicked out at the old wolf, and sure enough, violence can solve all problems. Although the old wolf's suffocated red face still meant that he was still underbeaten, at least there was no sound of laughter, and Xiao Chen's face was finally better.
After that, after reporting some battle captures, everyone went back to play with the concubine they had just picked. As soon as he walked out of the door of the main hall, the old wolf's cheating laughter began to come in again, Xiao Chen's face darkened again, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times.
Isn't your name good? Isn't it good to take the name of the city after the words in your own name, which not only increases your popularity, but also publicizes your own achievements? It seems that the old wolf is still beaten up!
After that, the army had a good time in the heavenly city for a few days, and greatly relaxed his psychological pressure. Every day, I pulled a few bastard brothers to drink a little wine, gnawed on big bones, and walked around the kiln, if I couldn't relax anymore, I could just wipe my neck with a knife, and I was even more relaxed all of a sudden.
A few days later, Xiao Chen and the old wolf led the army again and walked out of the gates of the Heavenly City. Towards Snooker City further east, war is coming again!
Before reaching Snooker City, Xiao Chen's army collided with the Snooker City Lord's army. In a fairly spacious field, the armies of the two sides met.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen's scouts were scattered far enough, otherwise the enemy might have rushed to his side. Your own army can't quickly line up in array. However, now that the enemy army has been discovered in advance, there is naturally more time to line up.
Sure enough, not long after Xiao Chen's army was arrayed, the army of Snooker City appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes. Although he was far away and couldn't see the number of enemy troops on the opposite side, Xiao Chen could still distinguish between infantry and cavalry.
Looking at this, Xiao Chen was almost scared to death. The intelligence said that there were nearly 9,000 people in snooker, but now Xiao Chen really wanted to kill the person who delivered the information. Nima, an army of 9,000, the king thought it was all infantry. This special person dared to march with a swagger, but there were 8,000 cavalry on the opposite side of Tamu. I rub, what's going on?
Eight thousand cavalry, under their own defenselessness, was enough to torture themselves dozens of times. Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise I would have to capsize in the gutter. However, who is the snooker city lord, such a silky one, he actually made eight thousand cavalry, where did he get the money to raise it?
Eight thousand cavalry needs a full eight million military expenses, can it be said that this goods are so rich?
David and his famous player Pierre. Trier, a famous general in history, led his 8,000 cavalry, and heard 30,000 Chinese soldiers, rushing to his city.
As soon as the two discussed, they simply led the army directly to take advantage of the enemy's march and directly attacked with cavalry. Besides, if you let the cavalry fight in the field, but in the defense of the city, then he is not as good as the infantry. So in order to give full play to the 8,000 cavalry under his command, David led the cavalry to the front of the allies.
To be honest, David also sighed. If it weren't for the fact that I got to Pierre this month. Trier, a famous general, really can't afford to raise these 8,000 cavalry. Originally, he only had 3,000 cavalry in his hands, and he could barely get by relying on copies and taxes, and he didn't even have the qualifications to attack others.
But God the old man did not abandon himself and sent himself Pierre. Trier. The Tsutenkaku gave him countless copper coins several times in a row, and he finally opened the cavalry gift bag that had been sealed in the backpack for several months, and there were now eight thousand cavalry troops.
With the confidence of 8,000 troops, he originally planned to take over the system wild city in the west. Who knows, just after making strategic planning on his side, the wild city over there was taken away by a Chinese player. And the other party is still very greedy, and now he is pulling an army of 30,000 to trouble himself. But do you really think you're easy to mess with? Eight thousand cavalry troops, hehe, enough for you, the Chinese, to drink a big pot.
At this time, Xiao Chen looked at the eight thousand cavalry troops opposite, and his face was also full of sadness. Eight thousand cavalry,, can you still play happily?
There's no way, the armies of both sides have gone and met, what else can you do, roll up your sleeves and pipe.
The armies of the two sides lined up, and the cavalry on the opposite side slowly pulled out the sabers in their hands, held the shields in their hands tightly, and looked at the 30,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry on the opposite side with angry faces.
The Allied soldiers were also holding their weapons deadly, still in the same battle queue as before. The sword and shield soldiers tied the broad shield to the ground, the long Ge soldiers lay the five or six meters long Changge flat, and the archers were at the rear of the military formation, sticking arrows upside down in the soil. The Allied soldiers also knew that this time was definitely a tough battle, and in the face of the cavalry, the infantry had no choice but to fight to the death, and they couldn't escape from the opponent's four legs.
At this time, the spirits of the soldiers on both sides were already tense, waiting for the commander's side to give orders. Countless banners blew in the wind, and at this moment, a trumpet sounded in the cavalry formation on the opposite side, and the battle began: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" Wang Ping took over the command, stood on the high wooden platform of the Chinese army, looked at the eight thousand cavalry who were charging on the opposite side, and said with a serious face.
Eight thousand cavalry, it would be a lie to say that they were not worried, once they made a mistake, the eight thousand cavalry on the opposite side would be enough to trample all their 30,000 troops into pulp. Besides, his boss is still in the army, and he can't tolerate the slightest mistake of himself.
Xiao Chen and the old wolf also looked serious at this time, after all, this was the first real battle since the Southern Expedition, and it was also the harshest battle. At this time, the two of them didn't have the heart to laugh. At this time of life and death, if you let these two people laugh, they can't laugh.
As the horn sounded in the snooker cavalry formation, 8,000 cavalry held their sabers high, drove their war horses, and roared towards the allies with earth-shattering thunder. A full 30,000 horses' hooves were constantly trampling the earth, and the sound of such a number of stomps only made people's scalp tingle. Coupled with the constant shaking of the earth, looking at the black and oppressive cavalry cluster, none of the allied soldiers did not change their faces.
The powerful cavalry once again shows the demeanor of the king of land warfare, especially the number of cavalry clusters. Most of the cavalry Xiao Chen had encountered in the past had not exceeded 1,000 people, and it would not cause too much psychological pressure on the soldiers. But now it's different, 8,000 cavalry looks from a distance, it's no different from 10,000 cavalry.
The increase in numbers is also accompanied by a great increase in the psychological pressure of your own soldiers. A thousand cavalry is not a big deal at all, but nearly 10,000 cavalry is a big deal. The power of cavalry is not a calculation method of one plus one equals two, and when a thousand cavalry faces two thousand cavalry, it is definitely a completely abused existence by the other party. Now tonight's cavalry is estimated to be directly one plus one equals five.
The rapid charge of the cavalry brought up bursts of smoke, and the eyes of the Allied soldiers could only see the 1,800 cavalry rushing to the front, and all the rear were completely covered by flying dust.
Looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer, the Allied soldiers all sweated in their palms, but at the same time they held the weapons in their hands tighter. The sword and shield soldiers stuck their bodies to the big shield, and then the Chang Ge soldiers behind them put Chang Ge diagonally on the shield, Ge pestle his tail on the ground, and his body also leaned on the back of the sword and shield soldiers.
This is the best way to deal with cavalry clusters. A tight formation will ease the impact of the cavalry, block the power of the cavalry's charge, and do your best to kill the enemy with the robe behind you.
When the cavalry rushed to one hundred and eighty paces, the archers began to exert their strength. Thousands of arrow feathers formed a thorny king in the air, covering the charging cavalry. Suddenly, the cavalry, which was originally extremely fast, flipped directly to the ground after the knights and horses were heavily damaged. Subsequently, if the cavalry that followed closely followed would not be able to die if the brakes were fast, and if the brakes were slow, they might directly be tripped by the fallen cavalry, and they should go to the Lord of Yama for tea.
Even though the archers were able to inflict no small amount of damage on the cavalry. But the speed of the cavalry was so fast that the archers only fired three rounds, and the cavalry with a rapid charge was already in front of the sword and shield soldiers. Considering the comrades who were resisting the cavalry in front, the archers had no choice but to shoot their arrows farther away to attack the enemy's follow-up forces and support the robes in front.
The surging cavalry finally crashed into the phalanx in front. The first to die was the cavalry that rushed to the front, and these fast guys crashed directly into the death defense line composed of five or six meters long Changge. Changge pierced the knight's chest directly, or the horse's neck. What's even more ruthless is that due to the huge impact force, Changge directly cut the neck of the war horse, and then pierced it on the cavalry.
Suddenly, in just a few seconds, the weapons of the Chang Ge soldiers in the front row were full of corpses. Of course, the Allies were not without casualties. While stabbing the enemy, the Changge in the hands of many soldiers was directly shocked in two by the huge impact force. Even his own arms may be broken, and sometimes Chang Ge stabbed the enemy and bent it into an arc, and then, Chang Ge Bing would be directly bounced out.
With the death of the first row of cavalry, the cavalry of the second row took advantage of the fact that the Allied soldiers had just recovered Changge had not yet been put on their shields, and directly took advantage of the weakness. The ruthless people and horses crashed directly into the big shield, and in an instant, the sword and shield soldiers were churned by the collision, and flew out directly upside down and smashed on the big shield of the sword and shield soldiers behind.
Before the surviving soldiers could stand up and fight back, countless horses' hooves stepped directly through the bodies of the fallen soldiers. The cavalry after that was still facing Chang Ge Rulin, and what rampage could not exist at all. When the defensive ability of the second platoon is really covered, so many Changge once again caused the cavalry to suffer a lot of losses.
In this way, groups of cavalry kept attacking the Allied phalanx. The Allied soldiers, on the other hand, were still carrying shields to block the cavalry's charge, and Changge was even more non-stop. Without losing a single line, the enemy's cavalry almost lost one team, after all, when passing through the previous line, the impact of the cavalry was not as strong as before. The sword and shield soldiers were also able to stubbornly resist a weakened cavalry charge.
Countless corpses lay on the ground, blood gushing out of the wounds, staining the earth red. The head that lost his body, his eyes open, showed the unwillingness of the deceased. The headless corpse was trampled by the horse's hooves on the ground, and soon turned into a pile of flesh, and blood flowed from the body, like tears when the head could not be found.
The death continues, the battle continues, no one cares about the corpses on the ground, and no one cares about the number of deaths anymore. At this time, not only Xiao Chen and the old wolf were worried, but even David and Pierre. Trier was similarly sorrowful.
Xiao Chen and the old wolf didn't expect that when the enemy's cavalry reached 8,000, it would cause such a large number of casualties. So far, the Allied fighters have lost more than 5,000 men, while the enemy's cavalry has lost only 2,000 men. This is mostly the work of the archers, although at the moment the archers are still firing arrows at the back. However, most of the enemy's cavalry had already rushed into their own formation, and the cavalry behind them was at most 2,000 men. The archers will soon be out of the fight, and then as a reserve, ready to support the front with the ring-headed sword they wear at their waists.
David and Pierre. Trier also frowned, the resistance of the squadron was too stubborn. Not to mention the actual ability of the soldiers, just that phalanx has given them a lot of trouble. Combined with their numerous archery troops, their 8,000 cavalry troops have lost a third, while there are still more than 25,000 people on the opposite side. How to fight, if you still come like this, you must be the one who loses, I didn't expect the squadron to be so strong.
At this point in the battle, the losses of both sides were very large, but neither Xiao Chen nor David was willing to give up. Xiao Chen gave up and had no other way but to die, while David gave up Although he could lead the cavalry to retreat easily, where would he retreat? If you return to the city, the squadron will still follow, and when the time comes, the cavalry might as well go out to fight in the field.
Therefore, the bigwigs on both sides were unwilling to be willing to stop fighting, and the soldiers who fought in front could only insist on fighting. The sabers of the cavalry are still reaping the heads of the people, the swords and shields of the allies are constantly broken, and Changge is also stubbornly stabbing into the enemy's chest, or cutting the hooves of the enemy's war horses with his blade.
The earth needs fresh blood to nourish it, soldiers, and the heads of the enemy are needed to satisfy their own blood*!
