Text: The Great Power Battle_Chapter 151 Bloody Battle at Night
"Shoot the arrows!"
The junior officers in the Gallic army immediately shouted loudly when they saw that the Beichen cavalry had entered the range of the archers.
Tens of thousands of archers then shot arrows from their bows. About two seconds later, a rain of arrows composed of more than 20,000 arrows appeared above the heads of the Beichen cavalry. Then, it was smashed down.
The Beichen cavalry suffered thousands of casualties at that time, and many soldiers were not shot, but still died. The knights had their own cavalry shields, but they only covered the upper body. The horses were also not armoured, so many knights were either accidentally killed by a rain of arrows, or their horses were shot to death and fell to the ground.
The war horse in front fell, and the people who followed behind were naturally unlucky. If you are sensitive, you may be able to get past it, but if you react slowly, you will be tripped over directly.
Subsequently, the archers of the Gallic Kingdom shot three rounds of arrows again, which made Ma Chao feel very happy. There were not many rounds of arrow rain in the four rounds, and one less than the expected five. If this is put in the Beichen Army, let alone five rounds, it will not be a problem to shoot two more rounds.
"Kill!"
With a roar, this ironclad frenzy and the collision of flesh and blood were officially opened. Ma Chao roared angrily, looked at the row of enemy soldiers carrying small round shields in front of him, and waved the steel gun in his hand forward.
Suddenly, dozens of steel spears that were nearly heavy swept over the shields of several enemies in front of them in an instant. The small wooden round shield couldn't withstand the huge force of the spear at all, and the moment it collided with the spear, the small round shield couldn't resist it.
With a click, several shields shattered directly, and the soldiers hiding behind the shields were not spared. The sharp tip of the spear smashed through their shields, cutting through their leather armor and flesh. Blood burst out in an instant, and those few enemies were also swept away by Ma Chao's thousands of troops.
Then, the horse's spear was laid flat, and the horse quickly pierced into the gap, and there was a rampage. The spear in his hand is waved around, or swept or stabbed or smashed, and all kinds of moves are endless. That shining silver light, as long as it appears, then there will definitely be dead people in that area.
Ma Chao rushed into the Gallic army and slaughtered in all directions. Then the cavalry of more than 40,000 people pressed down and collided with the small round shield on that side.
The mounted spear on the saddle buckle of the war horse was hung by the knight, and the extra-long tip of the spear pointed straight ahead. The moment the cavalry and the Gallic army collided, the tip of the spear that was longer than the horse's body was the first to hit the shield. The spear split in an instant from the middle, and the shield was even more vulnerable, turning directly into pieces. The arms of the Gaul soldiers behind him were also blurred with flesh and blood, and countless were broken. There were also many casualties among the Beichen cavalry, and when they collided, many knights were tripped and pulled down by those who were shocked or fell to the ground!
Subsequently, tens of thousands of high-speed galloping war horses crashed into it with great strength. The knight sitting on it was not idle, and the riding knife in his hand kept slashing around. 50,000 cavalry rushed into the army formation of 200,000 enemies in an instant, and without the threat of archers, the knights of the Beichen Army immediately fought one by one, and they were brave!
Swords, spears, swords, guns... All kinds of weapons collide with each other on this battlefield, and carry out the most primitive blood of human beings. At the beginning, the 200,000 horses of the Gallic army were almost broken by the cavalry of the Beichen Kingdom. However, when Joan of Arc boosted their morale, the Gallic roosters immediately turned into roosters. As soon as the 50,000 cavalry rushed into the enemy and slaughtered for a while, the charge felt slowly difficult. I tried my best, and I abused people for a while just now. As a result, people are now taking viagra again, and they are killing them one by one with red eyes.
Joan of Arc is worthy of being a saint, and when leading the French soldiers, the fighting power and fighting will of the Gallic roosters are much stronger than before. However, Ma Chao is also not bad. As one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Chao's reputation in later generations was not as good as that of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, but it was also much stronger than others. Moreover, in ancient Chinese warfare, military generals were very important, and a typical soldier would be a nest of bears.
And Ma Chao is not a bear goods, not to mention the world's best martial arts, but he is definitely a guy at the top. Speaking of bravery, he lived in the border grassland all the year round and was mixed in the army when he was more than ten years old, and when he was sixteen years old, he even beheaded the generals under Dong Zhuo. Now he has led 50,000 iron horsemen, and a few days ago, seven or eight cities in a row In the eyes of these 50,000 iron horsemen, Ma Chao has become the god in their hearts, the god of war!
At this moment, the god of war is still fighting on the front line, how can he not give up his life to accompany the hero. The sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh and blood, the unique roar of battle on the battlefield, and a scream before death filled the entire battlefield.
Fifty thousand iron horsemen fought desperately in the Gallic army, and blood continued to flow down. Ma Chao took dozens of guards around him to point to the place where Joan of Arc was, and the gun hit the horse, and it didn't take long for him to kill a quick crack. Then, tens of thousands of cavalry followed behind Ma Chao and the others, roaring and rushing to kill.
The entire battlefield had entered a white heat at this time, and the casualties of 50,000 cavalry were not small. But in contrast, the loss of the Gallic infantry was even more distressing to Joan of Arc. He led his army to fight, and it was not that he had not fought against the cavalry. However, in that era in Europe, where would tens of thousands of heavy riders appear in one go?
At that time, knights were nobles, and they all had their own fiefs to live a comfortable life. Who would be idle and go to a dangerous battlefield to play, and it would be better to stay in their own little castle and play with the maids. A few thousand knights are already a big force in Europe, but tens of thousands of knights are really rare in Europe.
The East is worthy of being a great country, and it is true that so many cavalry are not something that ordinary people can resist. If it weren't for the great prestige of himself, it would be a joke to expect these 200,000 to block the 50,000 knights.
When the 50,000 cavalry charges again, they can charge a few points together, and the casualties caused to the infantry will definitely be greater. But obviously, the general of Beichen Kingdom, who commanded 50,000 cavalry, was not a simple figure. Perhaps, in normal times, this general must have adopted a strategy of charging more. However, it is indeed a very good choice for the 50,000 troops to rush at the same time.
His army formation was very tightly arranged, and if the 50,000 cavalry attacked more, he would lose sooner or later without foreign aid. But he now has foreign aid, but he still underestimates the power of 50,000 cavalry to charge.
After the 50,000 cavalry of the Beichen Kingdom collided with his own military formation, in just ten minutes, the military formation was now half chiseled through. It will take half an hour for the other three ambushes to arrive, and this half an hour depends on whether they can block it.
Joan of Arc is also depressed, the ambush plan is good, but the terrain is a bit weak. On the vast plains, if you don't arrange the ambush farther away, the cavalry will find it after slipping around. This has caused the embarrassing situation of Joan of Arc now, and the frontal army is difficult to resist the enemy, but it will take a long time for reinforcements to arrive.
Ma Chao swung a spear up and down, constantly reaping the lives of the enemies around him. The surrounding 50,000 cavalry were also in the enemy's formation, charging back and forth. The knight who lost his horse was directly regarded as an infantryman and entangled with the enemy.
After watching the situation, the military formation of the 200,000 army had almost been disrupted by itself. Even the archers who stayed behind were pulled to the front by the enemy commander and picked up their knives to resist. Enough is enough, the enemy who is in such a mess should be enough to withdraw himself.
"Retreat, return to the east!"
Ma Chao roared angrily, and the hundreds of cavalry around him all heard it clearly. Return to the army to the east? Now that the enemy's army formation has been cut through half by his own army, if he goes back, won't his previous efforts be wasted? However, due to Ma Chao's prestige, the hundreds of soldiers who heard it immediately passed the news of the retreat to their own soldiers.
Subsequently, the cavalry of only more than 30,000 people began to evacuate quickly. Suddenly, the soldiers of Gaul felt like they had gone from hell to heaven all at once. The bastard cavalry that had abused their own army had finally been driven away, and the enemy was now evacuating in a panic.
When Ma Chao led 30,000 cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield, the Gallic army, which had less than 150,000 left, immediately cheered. Joan of Arc was so angry that she cheered. Is this called retreat? When the cavalry of Beichen Kingdom quickly withdrew from the battlefield, Joan of Arc thought of what this group of cavalry wanted to do.
A quick military order was issued, and several generals around him were also sent down to sort out the army. I only hope that my troops can quickly regroup their military formations, and join up with the reinforcements that are coming to me as soon as possible, and go together to support the ambush army from the east.
The 30,000 cavalry of the Beichen Army quickly withdrew from the battlefield and rushed to the east, just to take advantage of the march of the ambush army in the east, and they could not urgently line up their formation and break through from the east. Alas~ I hope that the ambush army in the east can give some strength, as long as 10,000 cavalry are killed and wounded, then the Beichen army will not be able to do anything this time.
In less than ten minutes, the army of more than 100,000 was once again reorganized, thanks to Joan of Arc's talent. If ordinary generals came, it would have been possible in less than half an hour.
In ten minutes, Ma Chao had already led the army for nearly ten miles. Perhaps in less than ten minutes, his 30,000 cavalry would be able to meet the army of Gaul again, which was an ambush army hurrying from the east. I only have half an hour, and after half an hour, the hundreds of thousands of people in the rear will be able to arrive.
It's not easy!
The 30,000 men ran again for ten minutes, and then they saw the enemy army coming from the east in the distance. The enemy had apparently just discovered them, and 100,000 men were in a hurry to form their formation.
"Brethren, life and death are at this moment. In two quarters of an hour, if we kill it, we will survive, but if we can't kill it, we will all be loyal to the country! You say, 'What should we do?' ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Good! If he could meet the king alive in this battle, he would have drunk wine with all the soldiers! ”
"Kill me!!" Ma Chao roared, raised the blood-stained spear in his hand again, and rushed out first. Subsequently, the cavalry of 30,000 people also clenched the cavalry swords in their hands, followed their own generals, and raised the speed of their horses again.
At this time, the 30,000 cavalry were not only men, but even the horses were very tired. The war horses, which ran back and forth and didn't stop for long, were already tired. Still, under the control of their masters, they still insist on their duties. The cavalry of the Beichen Army was also tired, and it was only ten minutes of battle before, but at that time, a cavalry had to face several enemies.
It is considered lucky that there are no deaths, and as for the injuries, out of 30,000 people, several people do not have two wounds on their bodies. A group of bloodied ironclad cavalry once again launched a desperate charge. If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent!
Ma Chao is also uncomfortable, although the armor on his body is strong, there are still many wounds. He is the commander of the first army, and he is also the most ruthless when he is besieged by the enemy. If it weren't for the protection of hundreds of people around me, maybe I would have been finished a long time ago, and where would I still be here?
The galloping bloody knight, riding a fast horse, looked at the 100,000 enemies in the distance. They hadn't formed their positions yet, and the army was still in disarray. Ma Chao grinned and laughed twice, this time it seems that he is going to survive, God will not kill himself!
When the infantry army was on the great plain, it suddenly encountered the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, and it could not be lined up. The consequence can only be to admit that you are unlucky. Without a formation, the 100,000 infantry army is not even a dish in front of the 30,000 cavalry. Dishes also need cavalry to cut two knives, these people don't even need to cut, they can directly hit a passage with a war horse.
The 30,000 cavalry instantly plunged headlong into the 100,000 infantry army that had not yet lined up in formation, and suddenly there was a bloody storm and rain. Among these 100,000 people, there were already tens of thousands of archers with poor close combat ability, and the remaining tens of thousands of people could not organize a defensive line against the cavalry at all.
There was no way, and these tens of thousands of archers had to be carried to the front. In the chaos of the battlefield, the enemy cavalry has already entered the army, and these archers cannot shoot in formation, which is of no use at all. Maybe it's a good choice to let them go to the front and resist it.
Although the 30,000 cavalry is said to be exhausted, it is not something that the 100,000 people without formation can stop. Besides, these 100,000 people rushed all the way to the west, and they were all tired troops, and there was no cavalry with the cavalry of the Beichen Army. It's not even as good as the Beichen Army, at least, the cavalry of the Beichen Army can recover their strength if they stay on their horses.
The result is.... When Joan of Arc's army arrived, all that was left on the ground was a mess of corpses and battle flags planted diagonally on the ground!
