Chapter 742: Taran Warriors
At the sound of the horn, groups of cavalry rushed towards the sky with a cloud of dust.
A group of knights dressed in different attire formed a stark contrast to the high-quality Wuhuan war horses, and the horsemen were all heroic, with high cheekbones, firm noses, and thick beards. If these are not enough to indicate the identity of this cavalry, then their exquisite riding and archery skills and narrow swords at their waists are very different from the Central Plains cavalry.
The Wuhuan cavalry is coming!
Luoyang, how can there be only 2,000 defenders!
Outside the city, in the east, west, and north directions, there were more than 1,000 Wuhuan light horses, this is the first battle after the Talan tribe joined Fengxiang, and the fierce Talan warriors need to prove their bravery, and they are already a little impatient. As soon as the wolf smoke was struck, the shouts of killing and strange screams rang out, and the three thousand-man teams rushed towards the enemy outside the three city walls.
Although the number of this group of Wuhuan cavalry is not too much, after the Taran tribe joined Fengxiang, they still maintained the basic strength of the alien tribes, and the Taran cavalry represented the highest level of nomads in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty. As far as the cavalry is concerned, except for special arms such as the White Horse Yicong and the Flying Wing Battalion, it is difficult for the cavalry troops of the princes to bargain in their hands, even if the Beiping Army, which is also known for its good warfare, there is a considerable gap between ordinary light cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry, Gongsun Zan and others have already appeared, and the actual effect of pure light cavalry duel may not be able to catch up with the infantry phalanx!
The princes and cavalry can't bargain, let alone the troops of the lord player? The four lords had not experienced much war, and the sudden appearance of three cavalry wings left them dumbfounded. Brother Feng Huaji and Huitou Prodigal Son and others regretted it at this time, in order to "crush the will of the defenders to resist and conquer Luoyang with an unstoppable momentum", they had already put all the troops around them into the siege battle, and the lord could not even send a reserve to block the advance of the Wuhuan light cavalry, and they simply did not have enough time to reorganize the troops. to cope with the cavalry attack.
Just as the lord's troops, which were furthest from the city walls, were busy forming their positions, the Wuhuan light cavalry came from far and near, the wind swept across the battlefield, and the sound of dense horses' hooves broke through the silence of the plain. A whistle. Thousands of bows sang a song of death, and the sharp whistling of arrows as they broke through the air was sonorous and moving, and arrows rained down. Bring up a puff of blood mist!
Taking advantage of the brief confusion in the territory of the lord's coalition, the Wuhuan cavalry made good use of the degree of the breakthrough, and before the archers in the rear of the lord's army could return fire, the Wuhuan cavalry had already fired two volleys. After two volleys, the siege force in the north of the city has fallen more than 400 people!
Under the sharp blow, the hastily formed infantry phalanx suddenly collapsed!
Even the generals who directly command the troops are still sober. Knowing that the assembled troops were arrayed to resist the cavalry's charge, the ordinary soldiers had also been frightened by the alien cavalry, and they shouted like flies and screamed wolves. The rapid rout of the broken soldiers directly charged the archers who had already completed the formation.
No one could expect a group of ordinary archers to shoot the advancing enemy cavalry, and many archers had to suspend their attacks on the cavalry, with less than a third of the archers firing their arrows at the first opportunity, and at least more than half of those who did attack hurried out without aiming at their targets. Even if you succeed in finding the target, you will be able to sparsely pull the arrows. It is also difficult to pose a mortal threat to the Wuhuan warriors who grew up on horseback. The Wuhuan light cavalry quickly unleashed a third wave of wolf fang arrows, this wave of attacks. It was the archers who went to the coalition of lords, and the fourth wave of grace also came.
The archers also quickly blew up the nest.
Not many infantry were willing to face a cavalry onslaught. Even if there were such hard-core troops, they would never appear in this coalition army. It shouldn't be an incompetent archer in close combat!
A thousand sixtieth-level Wuhuan cavalry, against less than five thousand fifty-level lord infantry, even if they are hard-hitting, they have a great chance of winning, the difference is only in the amount of losses.
Before the appearance of the Wuhuan cavalry, the coalition of lords who had been outnumbered was attacking the city, and three cavalry units appeared, sowing the seeds of fear in their hearts before the battle was engaged. And the appearance and attire of the Wuhuan cavalry is different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains, as well as the fierce spirit that comes to the face, which makes these battlefield recruits numb, and a thought lingers, "It's ambushed!" ”
Cowardice before fighting, it is fortunate that ten percent of the combat power can be waved seventy percent, and in the case of strength is already at a disadvantage, how can there be a reason to be undefeated?
Like the vast majority of nomadic cavalry, the Talan warriors' combat method was originally to gallop back and forth, gradually destroying the enemy in the movement war, and then rushing forward when the strength of the side had a clear upper hand, dividing and encircling with superior forces to annihilate the opponent.
But now, Zaru felt the need for a change of taste.
With loud laughter, Zaru rushed directly with a thousand people. After the losses of the siege battle and several rounds of long-range attacks by the Wuhuan cavalry, there were still more than 3,500 enemy troops outside the north gate, but Zaru pounced like this!
Zaru, who has been through a hundred battles on the prairie, is too amateurish to use the classic tactics of these enemies, and it is a complete waste of time to use the classic tactics.
When they were in the Wuhuan Prairie, the Taran warriors participated in countless battles for the survival of the tribe and the honor of the entire clan, and the Taran warriors also had a bit of prestige in the prairie, which was their first battle after coming to Fengxiang. From the first day of moving to Black Tiger Ridge, the Taran tribe has been taken care of by Fengxiang City, and they deeply feel the glory of being Fengxiang people. Niu never regarded the Taran tribe as an object to be exploited at will, or greedily used the Taran tribe as a gunman.
After Chen Shuo was taken captive, Ah Niu also refused the invitation of the Taran tribe to fight, and even when the first expedition to Bogu failed and the troops were sent to reinforce Luoyang again, Ah Niu initially did not let the Taran tribe send troops, and this time he rushed to Luoyang at the urgent call of Ah Niu, which was forced to do it a few days ago. Zalu will never forget what he said when he refused to ask for war, "We are brothers, I have never regarded the Taran tribe as a vassal of Fengxiang, what you need most now is to recuperate and regain your strength, not to get involved in a war that has nothing to do with you." When I asked the Taran warriors to go on the expedition, I could only show that the soldiers of Fengxiang City alone were not enough to solve the problem. ”
Therefore, when Feng Xiang asked the Taran tribe to go out urgently. Zaru immediately understood that Ah Niu was in big trouble, and this young patriarch and the first warrior of the tribe did not hesitate to lead half of the tribe's warriors to the aid of the starry night. He had waited too long for today's battle. It's time for the Wuhuan boy to show his heroism on the battlefield!
The cavalry in the front row drew their sabers, and the warriors in the back were still shooting, and the Wuhuan people had an excellent talent in archery, even if the horses were less than twenty meters away from the enemy in front. After a few breaths, they will engage the enemy, and they will be able to shoot accurately before engagement. The Taran warriors' ability to fight hand-to-hand is no different, with their long, narrow and sharp sabers that can easily cut through the armor of the siege lords' troops, which is not only due to the superior strength of the Taran warriors. Feng Xiang's master blacksmiths also contributed to the improved swords they made.
Led by Zaru, who looked like a mad tiger, the Wuhuan cavalry smashed into the battle of the lord's coalition like a flock, and the entire team drew a bloody line in the lord's camp, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy. When the troops broke through the enemy formation in the oblique stab and circled a semi-circular arc to cut the enemy formation for the second time, it was already a mess as far as the eye could see.
The situation outside the north gate is like this, and the battle situation outside the east gate and the west gate is also roughly the same, and the appearance of Wuhuan cavalry. gave the unlucky guests outside Luoyang a blow to the head. The Wuhuan cavalry was so mixed. The attack of the lord's coalition army on the head of the city also slowed down, and the head of Luoyang City was full of joy. The few Maple Leaf soldiers began to fight back, just because there were too few of them. They were ordered not to open the city to fight, but only after killing the enemy troops who had ascended the city. Condescending to have fun with long-range attacks, the archers of the siege troops can't care about dealing with the defenders of the city anyway.
Watching the fierce Wuhuan cavalry swing his sword and slash, the prodigal son wanted to cry without tears, although it was Brother Feng's army that was responsible for the offensive in the north, but the situation outside the eastern city was not much better, watching Brother Feng's soldiers being defeated and retreating, the prodigal son could probably estimate his own losses.
"It's a trap, it's a trap! Zheng Aniu deliberately only left 2,000 defenders in Luoyang City to lead us to attack, but in fact, most of the troops were outside the city! Bad Boy muttered.
"Don't care about the trap, let the brother in charge of the communication give the order, hurry up and gather troops under the city wall, and after a thousand-man infantry phalanx is broken, continue to attack the city!" Brother Feng's eyes were red, and he could be appointed as the temporary commander-in-chief of the coalition army, and his head was still relatively clear.
"Still going to attack the city?" "Nonsense! What if you don't continue to attack the city? The Wuhuan cavalry comes and goes like the wind, even if we retreat with the whole army now, on the plain terrain near Luoyang, the cavalry can easily chase and kill, can you run! Brother Feng almost explained in a roaring manner: "There are few soldiers in Luoyang City, and before our infantry is completely defeated, we must try to see if we can break through the Luoyang defense line first." Don't forget, the south of the city that Pian Ran is in charge of has not been attacked by the Wuhuan cavalry, and besides, there are still 10,000 heavy infantry there, the heavy infantry of the princes, as long as they are not fools, they should immediately enter the siege! ”
Brother Feng believed that as long as their troops continued to storm the city, it was not impossible to capture Luoyang, as long as they could open a gap for the heavy infantry at the south gate, even if all the 20,000 lord troops outside the city were killed, the victory would still belong to the coalition army!
Several other lords also let go, and each notified the player friends who accompanied the army and issued orders.
When the east, west, and north directions were full of blood, the hoplites outside the south gate remained silent, and the stout generals hesitated.
He didn't dare to act rashly.
He saw five wolf smoke lit on the three walls of Luoyang, and those wolf smoke were obviously ordered by the cavalry to attack, but there was no fire on the south side, and he was worried that this was another trap.
Gao Ran did him a favor.
There was also wolf smoke burning on the southern city, and there was only one.
In the woods five miles behind him, the sound of horses' hooves also sounded, and some cavalry could be vaguely seen haunting the forest, and it was impossible to see how many people there were in the dust!
