Chapter 61: Fierce Battle

"Huh!"

"Woo...... Hey!"

The barbarian iron rider did not shout and kill, but brought a sharp whistling and galloped on horseback.

"All attention, the crossbowmen are rapidly throwing!" With an order, the Ye soldiers released their bowstrings, and with a crashing sound, there was immediately a cloud of arrows in the air, covering the barbarian cavalry rushing forward.

The Ye army's crossbow arrows have a great advantage in terms of range, and they are at least 500 paces away from the barbarian cavalry's cavalry bows, and it is these 500 paces that allow the Ye soldiers to take the lead in this confrontation.

There are also some strong arms among the brute horses, and they can use strong bows, but the longest distance is about 400 steps, and they can't endanger the safety of Ye Jun, so they can only endure the arrows that shoot down like rain, and after rushing hundreds of steps, they will shoot the sharp arrows in their hands.

At that distance between the two sides, the cavalry of the barbarian vanguard arrived in a blink of an eye, only to see them suddenly split in two, dividing left and right. In the heart-numbing buzzing sound of bowstrings, a large array of arrows flew locusts.

Buzzing...... After the brute cavalry was diverted left and right, in the cracked rear gap, many cavalry suddenly appeared, still firing bows and arrows in the left and right diversion. After that, there was another team, and the spring water seemed to be gushing out in an endless stream.

Tens of thousands of arrows attacked, and the Ye soldiers immediately suffered casualties, but fortunately, all the soldiers were fully armoured, plus the protection of shields, which further reduced the losses. If not, with this surprise attack, Ye Qing would have lost hundreds of people.

The horse-control skills of the barbarian soldiers, the level of archery is indeed not comparable to the Terran soldiers, after entering the range, in terms of archers, often the attacking barbarian cavalry shoots two or three arrows, and the Ye soldiers can release an arrow, if it were not for the support of crossbowmen, in this confrontation, the barbarian cavalry would have already gained the upper hand.

From time to time, people on both sides have fallen, at this distance, in fact, the two sides of the shooting is more of a suppression, the real arrow to shoot the dead is actually very few, the armor of both sides is extremely sophisticated, as long as it is not the back luck is hit in the face, throat and other vital points, shot to other positions, most of them are stuck by the armor, can not form fatal damage to the soldiers.

On the battlefield, you may see a man covered in arrows like a thorn riding his horse and shooting from top to bottom.

The brute cavalry has excellent archery skills, and has the upper hand in the shooting, but the losses are not less than that of the Terran soldiers, and more brute cavalry is the crotch of the war horse was shot down, and the horse was thrown to the ground, in the battlefield of ten thousand horses, even if the brute cavalry with extremely good horse control skills, it is inevitable that they will step on their comrades by mistake.

Looking at the barbarian cavalry rushing over, Li Xin sneered: "Today, let these barbarians see the power of the foot soldiers in the next formation, throw spears, and prepare." ”

A platoon of soldiers in the phalanx pulled out a spear about a meter long from their backs, took a dozen steps back, and after giving an order, ran violently, and when they reached their highest speed, the heavy spear was thrown with a whistling sound. This is not a spear cut from tree branches on the mountain, but an iron spear ordered by Ye Qing to be made by blacksmiths, the head is all made of stainless steel, and has the ability to break armor.

Thousands of spears concentrated their firepower and struck on the charging arrows of the brute horsemen, and the brute cavalry in front of them was immediately nailed to the ground, the shield could block the spears, but the huge power of the spears could make your arms numb, as long as you moved a little slowly, you would be stabbed to the ground by the subsequent spears.

After the Ye army infantry only threw a round of spears, killing hundreds of people, the brute cavalry and with a strong impact force crashed into the chariot defense, and plunged into the Ye army's large array, followed by the barbarian cavalry immediately circled the horse and ran sideways, running around the Ye army's infantry phalanx, bending the bow and arrows on the horse, and constantly shooting at the phalanx, breaking through the inside and shooting at the periphery.

I have to say that Wanyan Azhe's on-the-spot command was actually good, and he suddenly found the most correct way to deal with Ye Jun's foot soldiers.

"Block!" Li Xin ordered.

However, at this time, hundreds of trebuchets hidden in the center of the army began to exert their power, and the production of trebuchets was relatively simple, but he was inconvenient to move, and it was only suitable for defending the city, but Ye Qing considered that there were too many foot soldiers this time, and the enemy was all cavalry, so he brought out all the trebuchets in Qingyun City.

These trebuchets are different from the small trebuchets mounted on the chariots, and the trebuchets launched now require three or five big men to operate, and the stones fired are also hundreds of pounds of boulders.

The trebuchet began to fire, not a wave of intensive attack, but a dozen or so units divided into several waves, continuously smashing at the enemy, trying to prevent more brute cavalry from rushing into the Ye army's phalanx.

Once the brute cavalry penetrated into the Ye army's formation, the speed of the horses immediately slowed down, and some were even forced to stop, and the knights on the horses brandished large swords and spears, kept blocking and stabbing. This is a life-and-death dialogue, the soldiers on both sides are not even free from shouting, all of them are red-eyed, fighting with their heads bored, there is nothing else in their eyes, only the enemy and the tip of the enemy's knife, either you die or I die.

A Terran soldier was stabbed and fell, but the moment he fell, he still cut off the opponent's horse's hooves with a knife, and saw the opponent dismount upside down, and there were a few more blood holes on his body, so he closed his eyes with satisfaction, and a brute jumped up and jumped into the air at the moment when the horse was cut over, and when several spears met him, he roared and threw the long knife in his hand, watching the long knife break through his chest and pierce the opponent to the ground, and he himself was stabbed by several spears, put in the air, and several spears shook and threw him out of the formation.

The barbarian cavalry who shot quickly found that the impact of this kind of shooting on the Terran soldiers was not too great, first, the opponent was well-armored, and there was the protection of the shield, as long as it did not hit the vital point, it could not die at all, but swords and guns flew in the air.

The Terran soldiers in the front row were desperately attacking the brute horses, while the soldiers in the back row, wielding spears, stirred desperately in the air, so that many of the falling arrows were knocked down in the air, and at the sides of these spearmen, there were shield-wielding sword and shield men to cover them.

Seeing that the peripheral guerrilla could not cause too much damage to the Terran soldiers, Wanyan Azhe was also furious, because he found that the barbarian warriors surrounded by the Terran infantry were almost dead in just a moment, and that was thousands of people.

Wanyan Azhe's face was gloomy and terrifying, his black pupils flashed with anger, and he shouted: "Descendants of the barbarian gods, rush forward! Step over the bodies of these wastes!"

As soon as Wanyan Azhe's voice fell, the surrounding Turkic cavalry let out a heart-rending roar, and with this indescribable roar, they gathered together again and swept through like a whirlwind, killing the Ye army.

Faced with the entry of the barbarian cavalry, Li Xin also fearlessly ordered the foot soldiers to meet him.

If you want to fight, you will fight!

In the splatters of blood, the horses slammed into the spears that stretched out, and under the terrifying force, the spears pierced through the necks of the horses, all the way into the body, and finally through the back of the horses, and then into the chest of the knights on the horses.

Resisted!

The barbarian cavalry did not break the infantry formation of the Ye army, but the infantry resisted the cavalry assault to the death.

But all this was expected by Ye Qing.

Is the impact of the barbarian cavalry terrifying?

Terrible!

Under normal circumstances, the infantry formation can hold off the barbarian cavalry?

Unstoppable!

But after more than half a year of training, now the Ye Army's infantry formation Ye Jun is no longer a simple spear formation, it is interlocking, and the arms cooperate with each other to learn from each other's strengths!

The extremely powerful crossbow arrows had already neutralized the strongest charge of the barbarian cavalry, and the chaotic bows and arrows had disrupted the assault formation, coupled with the defensive wall composed of a layer of chariots on the periphery, the impact of the cavalry that had only accelerated temporarily could not shake the specially trained Ye Jun's foot soldiers.

Is cavalry, without shock, still an opponent of infantry?

There is no need to calculate, Li Xin, who is at the forefront, announces the result with practical actions.

The broadsword crossed a beautiful arc in the air, and with a loud "bang......", the knife and the knight on the horse came into close contact, and the invincible power directly pressed the knight's body, and the blade broke his stomach, and the power did not weaken at all, and continued to chop on the horse's back.

This is the result of a sortie of broadsword infantry in the infantry.

Broken apart.

The Ye army's infantry advanced step by step like a wall and a mountain, and the barbarian cavalry, which had lost its impact, was unable to resist and was forced to retreat step by step.

Ye Qing has always been firmly in the Chinese army, and he has not taken the lead as before.

After all, now he is the commander of the entire battlefield, and the front line has been handed over to Li Xin to command, and he only needs to be responsible for checking for flaws there.

Especially in today's situation, Li Xin needs experience in large-scale operations, pays attention to coordination in the military formation, and even more needs just and timely command, so that the power of the formation can be brought into full play and can cope with unpredictable changes on the battlefield.

Wanyan Azhe never imagined that the opponent's inconspicuous infantry formation was so powerful, and the operation of the troops was so rigorous. With the impact of the barbarian cavalry, they did not move at all, but let them press forward, so that tens of thousands of cavalry were crowded together, completely unable to exert their power.

Wanyan Azhe shouted loudly: "Hold me up in front!" Hachi, Hahu, the two of you are divided into left and right wings, and give me a detour to the left and right flanks of the other party to shake their big array. ”

The enemy divided his troops, and Li Xin, as the commander of the front, saw it clearly and made targeted arrangements.

"All the crossbowmen were divided into two teams and fired at the left and right flanks of the enemy. Li Xin shouted loudly.

Thousands of crossbowmen were divided into two teams, each divided into three groups, and fired at the left and right cavalry who were intending to break away from the large army in a series of stacked shots.

A team of crossbowmen finished firing, and the team filled with arrows immediately stepped forward to shoot.
