Volume 1 Section 73 Hitting the Stream (4)
Just when Liu Ermazi's phalanx was gathering in a hurry and slowly, the other party no longer gave him more time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A large group of figures jumped out of the darkness almost instantly, jagged but with teeth and claws, swarming out like craggy rocks, smashing into the outermost flame army that was caught off guard.
The dense rain of arrows covered the frightened flame soldiers before the cavalry charged, and the screams and groans of pain filled the entire river beach, and in just a few tens of meters, the attacking cavalry only had time to send out an arrow before they had to retract their bows, and the horse lance and horizontal sword had already been raised in their hands!
Like a giant bear staggering into the neat snow, the weak infantry phalanx was torn to shreds in an instant, and occasionally the oblique horse-repellent spears pierced the bodies of the unlucky cavalrymen or horses, tumbling to the ground, overwhelming the flames of the chaos that had fallen into disarray.
More cavalry swept through like a hurricane, and the cross-section of more than 100 meters was shattered by the cavalry, and the infantry of the Flame Army had probably never experienced such an abrupt and tragic scene, and they collapsed without making any decent counterattacks.
Like the mud that has been swept into the whirlpool, the infantry phalanx that bears the brunt of it has been crushed like a wither!
The darkness of the night makes the unprepared soldiers instinctively flee into the distance, hoping to save their lives by the darkness of the night.
Exclamations and shouts came and went on the river beach, and at this time any orders were useless, and the over-frightened soldiers only wanted to flee to the farthest and darkest places at this time, which in their opinion was the safest place, which caused the whole formation to be chaotic, even affecting the troops behind.
Although the scattered army formation could not pose much threat to the stormy enemy cavalry, the scattered soldiers still played a somewhat hindering role in the cavalry team that gathered and charged.
The wielding of the horse's lance and horizontal knife, the yellow dust of the raised iron hooves, the splashing of red flesh, the sonorous clashing of gold and iron, the agitation of shouts and angry screams, and the chaos of people turning over on their horses, all of these swept by in just a few breaths, leaving a mess in vain.
"Shoot the arrow!" Han Bale almost burst out of his heart with this roar, a phalanx of 2,500 people collapsed without even a moment of support, although Liu Ermazi's army accounted for the vast majority of recruits, but this result still made Han Bale painful to the bone marrow.
These abominable sneak attackers, he's going to make them pay for it!
The crunch of "Boom, Boom, Boom!" was mixed with the whisper of "Whoosh!" and flew like a drizzle, and although it was not yet formed, the arrows flew up one after another, pouring out of the darkness.
The crossbowmen of the Flame Army, who were already standing on the slope, seemed to be the profiteers in this battle, and the irregular rain of arrows became more and more dense, whistling, so that the cavalrymen who had just tasted the fragrance of victory finally realized that war brought not only sweet but also pungent blood.
Curling up, shrinking, shielding, and minimizing the striking surface is the most basic way for cavalry to protect themselves in the face of condescending arrow supply, and of course the best way is to quickly pass this distance and get out of the range of the bow and arrow.
The dense fall of the arrows brought bursts of blood mist, and the fallen horse in the middle rolled to the ground, and the horses screamed, and the cavalry that followed around had to dodge the painful groans of their fallen companions on the mudflats.
The slightest mercy and hesitation at this moment will only bring death to oneself, and the only way to survive is to move forward without squinting.
It was the first time that Jiang Feng really felt the sudden attack of death so closely.
It's not like fighting alone, it's an uncontrollable face, maybe the next arrow will penetrate your skull and end your life, but it's hard for you to react, but you have to face it calmly.
Although the level of the ant thief's crossbowmen is really not high, the 2,500 bows and arrows will bring hundreds of arrows to each round, even if only a third of them go into range, it will still bring great damage to this cavalry team.
Like the leaves shivering in the autumn wind, it was too late to even snort, and the cavalry around them kept falling to the ground, but all this could not stop the advance of the raiding cavalry.
The muffled sound of the horse's spear slashing into the body and the heartfelt angry cries of the soldiers intertwined into a gorgeous and bloody song of slaughter.
Like a storm swept by, the first phalanx organized by Liu Er Mazi in his hectic hurry collapsed in the surging riding stream before he even had time to really set up his full formation.
But their sacrifice was not meaningless, and when the cavalry had to brave the barrage of arrows to charge the second phalanx, they were greeted by a forest of halberds and wooden shields.
The dozens of cavalry in front of them had no time to stop, and they had no choice in the face of the dense formation that the opponent was still a little messy but had already formed, and at this time the horse stopped only causing the entire shock team to fall into chaos, and was finally swallowed up by the arrow array on the slope, and the only way was to completely break the formation in front of them, just like smashing the previous phalanx.
The roaring cavalry slammed into the infantry line like a wave, and the dense fire of guns instantly slashed the first wave of onslaught.
Except for a few horsemen who were able to break through with their own martial arts, the rest of their companions turned into corpses piercing through the forest of guns, flying horizontal knives staggered to the ground, and the sharp spear blades sucked the lives of these cavalry warriors alive.
More than a dozen cavalry soldiers died in this forest of guns, drenched in blood, muffled screams were endless, crackling and muffled sound was the knight's landing impact, and it was even more tragic in the dark.
This is the price that the cavalry must pay to break through the infantry formation, and if it is not for the surprise attack in the dark, this price is much greater, and of course, the other side will also pay the price for it.
The infantry phalanx had not yet had time to taste the joy of victory, and the second and third waves of cavalry had already followed!
The continuous onslaught quickly tore apart the infantry defenses that lacked decent armor, and the multiple factors made it difficult for these infantry to hold on for too long, and it was their ultimate to be able to muster up the courage to complete the first wave of defense.
With the impact of the war horse and the condescending advantage, the cavalry can easily raise the butcher's knife and enjoy the thrill of life and death as long as they tear through the dense defense line at the front and break into the hinterland.
Every swing was accompanied by a bloody and terrible scream, and the cries and roars mixed with the groans of pain were transmitted to all directions like a plague.
