Chapter 1160: Bloody Battle of Yanjin Crossing (Medium)

As the 3,000-strong ironclad cavalry galloped, the tremor transmitted from the ground became more and more intense, as if an earthquake was about to occur, not only did the stones on the ground begin to jump up and fall, but even many surrounding buildings were affected by this and crunched and groaned.

Sun Ning could feel that the soldiers' beliefs began to waver, especially the thousand elites who had been ordered to guard the front, and many people's hands began to tremble, and their breathing became short.

This is also a normal reaction, the strength of the enemy will naturally put unimaginably strong pressure on anyone. Especially when they are facing a formidable enemy that they have never seen before.

"The Ironclad Heavy Riders have always used impact as their strongest move, but they also have their biggest weakness, which is that they are far from flexible. Not to mention compared to light cavalry, even our foot soldiers, as long as we can avoid their frontal attacks, we can easily find their flaws from the rear and flanks, so as to kill them. ”

Sun Ning's calm voice echoed in the team: "Moreover, the three ditches we dug before are bound to greatly reduce their impact and give us the most favorable opportunity to counterattack." So don't worry, we will win this battle! ”

His words really calmed the panic of the soldiers, all the panic was temporarily suppressed, the eyes of the soldiers became resolute again, and the enemy finally came to a hundred paces away from the barracks, which made their speed increase again.

Amidst the roar and shouts, the three thousand ironclad heavy horsemen were like a torrent of steel, surging and slaughtering, as if they were going to engulf the entire camp and everything in the camp.

"Shoot the arrows!" In the battalion, Wu Tiexiong took the lead in giving orders.

However, it was not a dense rain of arrows that were sent out according to the order, because it no longer constituted a threat to the enemy, but five huge bed crossbows that had already been opened, and the guns and four arrows placed on them were fired at the sound of the sound, like a thunderbolt, and flew straight towards the row of iron-armored heavy horsemen in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, spears and arrows were close to him, and many cavalrymen relied on their heavy armor and their own strength, and did not make any evasions, but just waved their weapons and made a hard block.

When—

After a single sound, the cavalry in the heavy armor snorted, and then his hand was retracted, and the knife was deflected, but the thunderous arrow was not even hit at the angle, and it hit him in the chest.

This is a bed crossbow and heavy arrow that can be easily broken through the wall built of rammed earth after a few feet, and even the sword and axe can hardly leave traces on it.

So, after a terrible scream, the arrow shot through the heavily armored cavalry like a piece of paper, and the man also fell from his horse, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the other iron horsemen who galloped behind him.

This kind of situation happened in the front row of this heavy cavalry in an instant, five bed crossbows, more than 20 guns and arrows, really shot more than 20 heavy cavalry off the horse.

Seeing this scene, the Vietnamese troops in the battalion naturally cheered and shouted again, and their fear of this black wolf horse had completely dissipated because of this result.

It was Sun Ning, but his expression was a few points more solemn at this time, because the enemy did not mess up the formation because of this, and even the speed of rushing did not slow down.

Obviously, the leader of this black wolf cavalry was a clear man, and knew that this casualty was nothing, and it was impossible for the Vietnamese army's bed crossbows to have a second wave of fire before they could enter the camp.

Sure enough, when the warriors in the rear were busy continuing to turn the winch and pulling apart the crossbow string of the bed, which weighed dozens of stones, the enemy troops in front had already quickly advanced to the ditch that was more than three and a half zhang wide and one person deep.

This tactic of digging deep and digging more ditches was originally Sun Ning's method of targeting the northern cavalry, and he had also used it to scare off the Guanlong cavalry before.

However, after all, today is a hasty preparation, and there is not enough time, so this ditch is naturally not as deterrent as imagined.

As the cavalry on the first few horses roared, pulling the reins and controlling the horses to leap high, and successfully reached the other end, it seemed that these horsemen could really leap over the ditch that was not too wide......

The expressions of all the soldiers changed again, and Sun Ning's hand holding the knife was tight, so his plan would be in vain again!

At this moment, after jumping over the first ditch, the heavy riders did not stop as quickly as they had imagined, and then started to gallop again, and then jumped over the second ditch. Rather, because of his heavy weight, he slipped straight forward, and before he could stop again, he plopped into the second ditch in the neighing and shouting of the men and horses.

This is not that one or two riders are so accidental, but more than a dozen riders who have just jumped over the first ditch have all fallen into the second ditch in such an embarrassed attitude......

Seeing this scene, Sun Ning, like everyone, was a little dumbfounded, it was really a strategy to break the enemy that he had never imagined......

Many soldiers were stunned, and then there was another burst of cheers.

But the cheer lasted only a short time, and then the heart-wrenching scene reappeared, and in spite of the unexpected change, the leader barely hesitated, and shouted again, and then all the horsemen, under his urging, galloped forward in the same way, either leaping high in front of the ditch, or rushing straight forward, and falling into the ditch.

These heavy-armored iron horsemen and horses are not even a thousand pounds, and at this time they fall into the ditch, don't say it, it is very difficult to move. But because of this, they have become the best stepping board for other heavy riders who are constantly galloping up the rear.

As they continued to fall, filling the ditches, the large number of cavalry in the rear, without slowing down or jumping, stepped on their bodies—and then turned into corpses—and continued on.

So, under the horrified gaze of all the Vietnamese soldiers, the three ditches, which did not pose any hindrance to the black wolf cavalry, were quickly passed by them and rushed to the camp gate.

Of course, in order not to slow down the impact, the price paid by these ghost cavalry was also quite staggering, enough for one to two hundred cavalrymen, including men and horses, fell into the ditch, and then were trampled to death.

But because of this, the momentum of these ghosts and demons rushed forward more violently, and in the roar, it was difficult to hide the anger and killing intent that made people's hearts palpitate and fear.

Then, in the face of obstacles such as the antlers in front of them, they did not even blink their eyes, they had already crushed and broke through these things, smashed through the not heavy camp gate, and pounced fiercely on the thousands of Vietnamese soldiers in front of them like a tiger entering a sheepfold.

The real bloody battle, at this moment, finally broke out!

Some people died, but not completely......
