144 It is difficult to ride a tiger
Batches of high-headed horses fell hard in front of the car formation, throwing the riders on horseback out fiercely, splashing up bursts of smoke and dust.
The horse screamed and tried to stand up, but could not stand up.
And the heavy armored cavalry who were thrown out fell to the ground fiercely at this time.
If you're lucky, you can still sit up, but you were also smashed by this hard fall.
Those who carry the idea are either crushed by the horse and break their legs, or they fall out and break their necks, burping on the spot.
Otherwise, the heavy armored cavalry who rushed from behind was trampled into a pulp on the spot......
For a while, the heavy armored cavalry of the strongman tribe, which was still aggressive just now, left a lot of chicken feathers in front of the Gao family's car array.
Everywhere there was the shouting of men and the neighing of horses......
The heavy armored cavalry that followed behind, seeing such a picture, the momentum of the charge also slowed down.
And at this time, the foot soldiers of the Gao family, hiding behind the carriage, are full of momentum.
For a while, all kinds of bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and the arrows rained down on the bodies of those heavily armored cavalry.
No matter how thick their protection was, casualties began to appear at this time.
There were constant riders screaming and falling off their horses.
And this will make the leaders of the heavy cavalry see their offensive frustrated.
One of them let out a loud roar, and then one rolled over and jumped off the horse.
Pulling a wooden shield from his horse, the scimitar in his hand rushed in the direction of the chariot. 、
Soon, those tribal warriors, too, jumped off their horses and charged in the direction of the chariot formation with their scimitars.
Since they could not charge the battle in heavy armor, they turned into hoplites and began to attack the chariot formation.
Although the crossbowmen on this side of the car formation are frantically throwing arrows to rain.
But in the face of well-protected heavy infantry, the damage is also very limited.
It wasn't until the opponent rushed to a distance of fifteen meters in front of the car formation that the lethality of the bow and crossbow was revealed.
The heavy infantry who rushed over were knocked down by more than 30 people on the spot.
But at such a close distance, the soldiers of those strongman tribes rushed over in an instant.
In a moment, several soldiers from the strongman tribe jumped on top of the car formation.
However, the end was also good and bad, and the luck fell on the carriage and escaped.
The unlucky one was stabbed to death on the spot by the Gao family foot soldiers behind the car formation with a spear more than four meters long.
At this moment, Yang Yinuan can be regarded as having seen the power of these heavy infantry of the Gao family.
They all held spears more than four meters long in their hands, and they had the advantage in close combat.
There are teammates around him who are constantly firing arrows, and they use their spears to control the distance between each other and their car.
The barbarian soldiers in the front row will hold up their shields to block the bows and crossbows fired by the Gao family, and also block the stabbing of the Gao family's spearmen.
But at this time, there are still many foot soldiers of the Gao family, holding the flail behind the battle array, constantly picking up the long pole flail in their hands.
Leaning on the barbed mace behind the flail, smash the enemy behind the shield.
The mace on the long pole flail attacked from top to bottom, just enough to bypass the shield held in front of the strongman soldier.
If you are hit on the head, it will be the end of a brain burst on the spot.
If you are smashed on the body, it will be a broken bone and tendon, and the heavy one will suffer internal injuries, and you will spit blood in your mouth and burp on the spot.
At this moment, the strongman's heavy infantry was embarrassed and raised their shields to protect their heads.
The chest and abdomen will be exposed to the enemy's spears and bows, but if you don't raise your shield, you will be constantly smashed on the head by the enemy's flail.
But soon they also figured out a way, that is, the soldiers in the second row also raised their shields.
These shields were placed on the heads of the soldiers in the first row, so that they could withstand the blows of the flailmen.
At the same time, many barbarian soldiers also rushed up behind them.
These barbarian soldiers picked up bows and crossbows and the Gao family foot soldiers behind the chariot formation, and launched a confrontation.
What surprised Yang Yinuan even more was that some of these guys didn't hold bows and arrows.
Instead, he held a large slingshot and hid behind the battle formation to carry out precise strikes on the Gao family's crossbowmen.
He could see through the binoculars that the barbarian soldiers were holding large slingshots in their hands, firing round stone projectiles.
They can shoot up to 100 meters at a distance, and their shooting is very accurate.
Almost every time he fired, he would shoot a crossbowman of the Gao family.
Even the foot soldiers of the Gao family wore fully protective iron armor.
But the marbles shot by those slingshot men were still able to accurately hit the face of the Gao family's crossbowmen.
As long as a thumb-sized stone bullet hits the front door, the result is to be shot on the spot.
The two sides were in a stalemate in front of the car formation for a moment, and soon the strongman tribe gradually gained the upper hand by relying on the advantage in numbers and weapons.
As the firepower of the Gao family's convoy began to weaken, the strongman's heavy infantry finally rushed to the front of the car formation.
This is where the fiercest and most ferocious white-knuckle battle finally begins.
The barbarian soldiers, one by one, let out strange roars, began to jump into the carriage.
The foot soldiers of the Gao family relied on the spears in their hands to constantly stab the barbarian infantry on the opposite side.
The two sides soon engaged in a fierce fight.
It can be seen that the foot soldiers of the Gao family are wearing heavy armor and are usually professionally trained.
Therefore, even if the enemy rushes closer, he is not afraid and fights to the death with the other party.
And the strongman soldiers on the opposite side are much worse in terms of combat skills and equipment.
But these guys are not afraid of death, one is stabbed to death, and the second will be made up for immediately.
Although the Gao family's foot soldiers are very capable of fighting, you can't stand the other party's large number of people!
Soon, the balance of victory has begun to gradually tilt in favor of the strongman's side.
Seeing this picture, Gao Peng on the hillside was also shocked and angry, obviously he never expected to put himself in danger today.
And the strong man he met this time was completely different from what he had encountered before.
The former strongman tribe encountered them, and once they found that the bones were difficult to gnaw, they quickly withdrew.
But today, this group of people didn't know what medicine they had taken and were going to fight them endlessly.
This battle was obviously a sandwich battle.
Now he is also difficult to ride a tiger, and it is obviously impossible to retreat, as long as he retreats at this time, then this battle array will collapse immediately.
But if you don't retreat, you can only resist hard, looking at your own elite, and you are exhausted here in vain.
At this point, Gao Peng couldn't care about it anymore, so he could only turn his head and look at Yang Yinuan.
Because before his son Gao Xin left the battle array, he told him that this Yang Yinuan was a powerful enemy and the courage of thousands of troops!
