Chapter Ninety-One: Outside the Shangdang City
Outside Shangdang City, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty collided with the cavalry of the Hu people.
There was no shouting of peace, no shouting of killing, and the two teams seemed to collide silently.
The cavalry was too fast, and if they shouted loudly, the taste of the wind in their mouths was not pleasant.
A small detail on the battlefield can make the difference between life and death, and no one wants to joke with their own life and death.
Both sides of the battle are elite cavalry, so naturally they will not make such low-level mistakes.
Zhang Liao held a spear in his hand, his feet stepped over the Jedi, the sound of the whistling wind blowing in his ears, and the sound of horses' hooves running on the earth, he seemed to be in the waves, and as if he was independent.
At this time, a fire ignited in Zhang Liao's heart, but he seemed extremely calm.
He didn't think much about this contradictory situation, because the cavalry of the Hu people had already appeared in front of him, and the black spots in the distance were densely packed, and in an instant, the original black spots had turned into Hu people wearing Hu clothes.
Before Zhang Liao could speak, the rear herald flag officer had raised the flag.
The soldiers on the horses control their horses, and with their longbows in hand, they shoot at the enemy in the distance.
At the same time, the Hu people on the opposite side did the same.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
“……”
The arrows were dense in the air, as if it were raining.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The first round of confrontation had already begun, and the falling sword rain pierced the bodies of the soldiers on both sides.
The soldiers kept falling from their horses, and the people around them did not care much, and after a round of throwing they put away their longbows and took up the spears, swords, and other weapons prepared on their horses.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
“……”
There was a sound of gold and stone colliding, and the soldiers used the weapons in their hands to block the rain of swords.
Some of the unlucky people were shot directly by the flying sword arrows, and they did not die for a while, but they fell under the horses after their whole body was weak, and then they were trampled into pulp by the team behind.
Those who are lucky may only be shot in the arms and legs, and they can only grit their teeth and endure the pain to continue to charge.
There is a saying that "shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before a king." ”
The body of the war horse is already huge, and it is like a live target in the sword rain, and many war horses are directly shot into a sieve.
These fallen horses became real stumbling blocks, and sometimes when a horse fell to the ground, more than a dozen soldiers who followed it fell to the ground one after another.
The first round of shooting between the two sides caused a lot of confusion to the other side.
At this time, it depends on the battlefield adaptability of the soldiers on both sides of the battle, or how experienced they are on the battlefield.
The experienced veteran knew that most of the unlucky people who were shot to death were hopeless, and they had long been accustomed to it, so they just continued to charge.
And those inexperienced recruits can only continue to be trapped in the battle array.
However, there is a world of difference between passive coercion and active integration into the battlefield.
The result of this world-wide difference is the difference between life and death.
The speed of the cavalry attack was extremely fast, and in an instant, the two sides had exchanged short troops.
"Poof!"
Zhang Liao did not hesitate, clenched the spear in his hand, and pierced a Hu cavalry in one shot.
"Bang!"
The corpse of the Hu man fell to the ground, and his horses were still galloping forward.
No one can take care of these uncontrolled horses yet, only when the victor becomes their new master after the war.
"Ding!"
"Dang!"
"Ding!"
"Dang!"
Zhang Liao's spear danced wildly, constantly engaging the surrounding Hu people, and his eyes kept shooting on the battlefield.
As the master, he followed the guards closely, that is, because the speed of the Jedi was too fast, when Zhang Liao charged in the first round, the guards did not keep up, so he distanced himself from the guards.
Zhang Liaojiu fought on the battlefield, and naturally knew that even if he was strong in martial arts, it would be difficult to get benefits in the battle array.
He reined in the reins of his horse, controlled his speed, and moments later, the guards behind him rushed to his side.
It's just that the entire cavalry team is still rushing forward at an extremely fast speed.
Unlike infantry, cavalry will not engage for a long time, Zhang Liao estimated the situation on the battlefield, and shouted to the guards around him:
"Spread the flag!"
A loud shout resounded throughout the audience, and the people around were shocked.
There was only one person around Zhang Liao who carried the big flag with the word "Zhang", and with his order, the rest of the people took the flag hanging on the horse in their hands.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Liao didn't say a word, and continued to rush towards the Hu cavalry, only this time he obviously controlled the speed of the Jedi horse, and the guards around him firmly followed him.
Several "Zhang" character flags with white characters on a black background are particularly eye-catching on the battlefield.
The team involuntarily followed the banner and launched a charge.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
“……”
In the midst of the fighting, there was a constant sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, and after Zhang Liao took the lead and collided with the Hu people with the cavalry, he made a big circle.
In the battlefield, the cavalry hedges, neither the enemy nor the enemy will give the other side a chance to organize the team, which is why after a charge, if you want to continue the attack, you will go around in a big circle.
This kind of arc route is exactly what we call a detour.
Charging ahead, if you want to change the formation temporarily, it is very difficult, not to mention that the cavalry charge is extremely fast, if you want to rein in the horse and stop to adjust the military formation, it is completely impossible.
Of course, the premise is that the enemy does not give you this opportunity.
Of course, Zhang Liao would not give the Hu people a chance to organize the military formation, he took the cavalry around an oval circle, and the Hu people also had a very tacit understanding.
Both sides knew that the cavalry was hedged, and the first few roundabouts were very important, and if one of them did not have the ability to hedge, it would only have to escape.
And when escaping, the back is handed over to the enemy, and it will inevitably be chased by the enemy.
The cavalry on both sides slammed into each other violently after sparing a large circle.
At this time, the team leader and deputy team leader who were on the Shangdang city wall looked at the teams fighting outside the Shangdang city and looked at each other.
The situation on the battlefield is not real for them without God's perspective.
However, the billowing dust from the horses' hooves on the ground also let them know the fierceness of the fight between the two sides.
"The cavalry of my Great Han Dynasty has this level now?"
"Could it be that Dong Xiangguo sent his descendants in Liangzhou to send his military horses?"
The leader muttered to himself, the quality of the Huns' cavalry is well known, and although the Han Dynasty also had cavalry, the elite cavalry was generally only on the border.
Being able to see such a cavalry hedge in the heart of the country like Shangdang City shocked their hearts.
At this time, the deputy team leader on the side was stunned: "It should be." ”
"In addition to the Youzhou cavalry in the world, only the Liangzhou Legion and the Bingzhou Legion under Dong Xiangguo have this strength."
"It's just that I didn't expect Dong Xiangguo to send his descendants to Bingzhou."
The team leader's eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he thought, so he sighed lightly, "Alas." ”
"If you don't fight each other, my Han Dynasty will be as stable as ever, and I will not be able to let these Hu people be presumptuous in my court."
The deputy team leader nodded, "Who's to say it's not." ”
"It's a pity."
At this time, the team leader suddenly let out a wild laugh and patted the deputy team leader on the shoulder.
"Lao Zhang! Nothing is a pity. ”
"Before, I didn't wait for my grandmother to kiss, my uncle didn't love me, and Bingzhou was messed up by the Hu people, but now Dong Xiangguo's elite soldiers and horses are coming, and I want to settle down a lot."
"We won't be able to mess around in the future!"
“TUI!”
"Lao Tzu has long been unaccustomed to these Hu people, if it weren't for the fact that no one supported him before, Lao Tzu would definitely ......"
Before the team leader finished speaking, he found that the deputy team leader looked at him a little wrong.
The team leader coughed lightly twice and laughed: "Hehe, don't brag." ”
"Damn, that's amazing!"
The team leader clenched his fists and looked at the battlefield outside the city, although he couldn't see anything clearly, but the team leader was extremely confident.
"This is going to win!"
The deputy team leader smiled helplessly, he was still the same as the official.
