Chapter 280: The Iron Cavalry Charge Is Useless!【Seventh Update】
Five thousand iron horsemen, the momentum of the charge is like a black cloud crushing the city!
As if to destroy everything that resists!
If it is an ordinary soldier, let alone a few thousand, even if tens of thousands of people are placed at the mouth of this Yan Valley, they will be very frightened when they see these five thousand barbarian iron horses.
But the current Gao Shun, as well as the trapped camp under his command, no one has fear on his face, all of them are warlike.
"Ready!"
Gao Shun watched the cavalry rush over and raised his hand.
The crossbowmen behind him raised the crossbow a little higher in unison.
When the cavalry reached the best range of the crossbow, Gao Shun said loudly: "Release!"
"Woohoo!"
A rain of arrows formed by thousands of sharp bows and arrows shot at the five thousand iron horsemen who rushed over.
Puff puff!
Sharp bows and arrows pierced the bodies of these barbarian cavalrymen, and on the battlefield, in addition to the miserable cries of these soldiers, it was the sound of these arrows shooting into the barbarian bodies, cutting into the flesh.
The barbarian soldiers who rushed to the front, except for Hamul, who had some ability to resist these bows and arrows, most of the rest fell to the ground and became corpses.
Seeing this scene, Tuoba Hong, who was in the rear, frowned slightly, and muttered, "These infantry were not frightened by the cavalry charge?"
This is not the soldier of the three northern counties he knows!
In the past, no one in the soldiers of the three northern counties dared to fight head-on with their barbarian iron cavalry at a valley pass.
Before attacking the three northern counties by himself, those soldiers defending the city would not have been able to stop the iron cavalry if they hadn't relied on the high walls of the city.
Now it was the first time he had seen an infantry charge at a valley pass, and not only was he not frightened, but now he had launched a counterattack.
But he was just a little surprised.
He believed in the combat effectiveness of his Hamul cavalry, and if he came close to these infantry, they would be killed in an instant.
Stretch the valley, at your fingertips.
"Charge, charge!"
Watching the cavalry beside him fall to the ground, Hamul's face was gloomy.
Because of this wave of bows and arrows just now, the soldiers under his command lost at least a thousand people.
The main reason is that he didn't expect that the enemy would dare to counterattack the cavalry with infantry, and did not disperse the iron cavalry, which led to such a big damage.
"Put!"
Wait until these barbarians rush over a bit.
With a wave of the high-speed upper hand, the prepared second wave of arrows poured down.
This time, it took the lives of many barbarians.
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
Hamour roared and led the iron cavalry to continue the charge.
"The sword and shield soldiers scattered, and the crossbowmen fired flat!"
"Yes!"
When the soldiers in the camp heard the order, they immediately acted in accordance with it.
This wave of flat fire hit many horses mounted by barbarians.
The horses rolled on the way, and the soldiers on the horses fell to the ground, which posed some threat to the cavalry behind.
But that didn't stop Hamul from leading the rest of the cavalry to charge!
Now that the barbarian cavalry was very close to the camp, Gao Shun did not let the crossbowmen shoot again.
With a wave of his hand, he trapped the camp and resumed his formation.
"Kill!"
Finally, without the hindrance of the archers, Hamur led the iron cavalry to the front of the trapped camp, and with a wave of his hand, he led the iron cavalry to rush over.
He raised his broadsword high in his hand, rode first, and slashed at the shield that was blocking the front of the trapped camp, trying to smash it.
When Gao Shun saw it, he said coldly: "Stinging the horse!"
A gap suddenly appeared in the originally tight shield array, and immediately after, a spear glowing with cold light pierced out.
"Poof!"
The spear stabbed the horses of the soldiers who rushed towards them, and the soldiers immediately fell to the ground.
Including that Hamul, the war horse was assassinated, and the whole person fell to the ground.
"Slash!"
Gao Shun ordered.
The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately removed the shield array and slew the barbarians who had fallen off their horses.
Hamul was so powerful that he blocked the first wave of attacks in the face of the attacks of several soldiers, but he did not wait for him to kill these soldiers.
Suddenly I felt a pain in my heart, and when I looked down, I saw an arrow stuck in my chest.
"Whose arrows?"
Hamul looked up and saw a Wuwei general with a cold gaze and put down the bow and crossbow in his hand.
"Who is he?"
This was Hamul's last thought, and immediately afterwards, a large knife cut off Hamul's head.
Gao Shun, who shot Hamul, did not have any fluctuations in his gaze.
He knew that Hamul's strength was not weak, and if he was allowed to stand up, even if the true qi in his body was suppressed by the military formation of the trapped camp, it would be able to bring a lot of threat to the ordinary soldiers of the trapped camp, and even cause casualties.
Gao Shun would not let this happen, he wanted to avoid unnecessary casualties among the soldiers in the trapped camp.
So, shoot Hamul directly.
He looked up at the iron rider who was still rushing over, waved his hand, and shouted, "Resist the horse formation!"
When the sword and shield men in the camp heard this, they crouched with their shields in hand, forming a huge slope.
When the barbarians rushed over, their crossbowmen standing behind them fired their arrows again, killing many of the barbarian soldiers.
When the cavalry managed to avoid the bows and arrows, and when they reached the slope of the shields, a large number of bright sharp knives suddenly appeared.
The war horse passed, and its stomach was cut in an instant, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The barbarian soldiers dropped their horses in an instant, and before they could stand up, the steel knives had already taken their lives.
In this way, the five thousand iron horsemen rushed over, and in less than two quarters of an hour, they instantly turned into corpses and fell to the ground.
"Bastard!"
Tuoba Hong, who was in the rear, saw that his five thousand iron horsemen had died like this, his face was full of anger, and he said loudly: "The front army charges, give me this damn infantry formation to break through!"
"Kill!"
The 20,000 iron cavalry of the front army charged, followed back and forth, and quickly approached the trapped camp.
When Gao Shun saw it, his face was solemn.
If it was just a 55,000-500 attack like before, Gao Shun was confident that he would be able to block all these iron horsemen here.
But now, with more than 10,000 iron cavalry charging, they can't use the same method as just now.
"Gather the array!"
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!"
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!"
All the soldiers trapped in the camp, following Gao Shun, shouted the slogan of the trapped camp, and their combat effectiveness increased several times.
"Bang!"
The barbarian iron cavalry and the defensive formation formed by the trap camp collided.
The Iron Rider flew out in an instant!
The defensive formation of the trapped camp can even resist the shooting of the terror bed crossbow arrows, and these iron horses rush over, how can the impact of the bed crossbow arrows shoot is great.
When Tuoba Hong saw it, his brows furrowed even more fiercely, and he said loudly: "Skirmishers, surround them, prepare with iron hooks, hook off their shields for me!"
"Yes!"
When the barbarian soldiers heard this, someone immediately took out an iron hook that was specially used to deal with the defense of the shield soldiers, and prepared to hook off the shields in the hands of those soldiers.
The reason why the trapping camp defense formation is powerful is because the trapped camp soldiers have strong combat effectiveness.
The second reason is that when they formed a defensive formation, their shields were very heavy, blocking the impact of bed crossbows and cavalry.
But if there is no shield, the defensive formation will be broken immediately.
