Chapter 216: Battle Array Duel
The wave of Hun cavalry wrapped in billowing smoke and dust swept towards the Yulin Army formation, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to a distance of less than fifty paces ahead!
The Hun cavalry shouted wildly, like a tiger and wolf roaring, and the rampant bloodthirsty intent rushed to their faces!
These Hun warriors, who have never been invincible, did not take the Yulin army in front of them seriously at all, and only felt that under their onslaught, those Yulin troops would not be much stronger than chickens, ducks, deer and sheep, and they would soon completely collapse and scatter!
At this moment, Zhang Lang raised his right hand and waved it forward, shouting, "Release the arrow!" ”
The Cangting Army, which was holding the chain of strong horses, immediately quickly pulled the bracket, and in the loud sound of whirring, pieces of powerful arrows continued to fly out like flying locusts!
The oncoming Hun cavalry was hit by arrows and fell, just like the surging tide was constantly thrown into countless stones, causing ripples one after another!
The neighing of horses and the shouts of the Huns were loud, and the fierce cavalry charge of the Huns was met with strong resistance!
Zait didn't expect his opponent's bow and crossbow firepower to be so ferocious, and his face was shocked. Powerful arrows are shooting out non-stop, what is going on? Isn't there a short reload time after a crossbow shot?
Just when Zait was thinking like this, the chain of strong horses in the hands of the Cangting Army was still shooting arrows to reap the lives of Zait's cavalry!
The surging cavalry wave rushed to the place about thirty steps in front of the military formation, and fell down one by one, the people turned over on their backs, and the momentum of the fierce impact had been knocked down by most of them, and the entire cavalry wave seemed to be a little chaotic.
Zait's blood-red eyes widened and shouted frantically, "Rush me!" Rush me! ……”
The bloodthirsty impulse in the hearts of the Hun cavalry also broke out, roaring madly and urging the war horses to charge, one after another, with no intention of stopping at all!
At this moment, there is only one thought in the hearts of all the Hun cavalry, that is, to rush forward and kill those Han Dynasty people who dare to resist them by the most cruel means!
In the blink of an eye, the surging wave of cavalry rushed to a distance of less than twenty paces in front of the Yulin Army's front.
And at this moment, the powerful firepower of the chain of strong crossbows came to an abrupt end. It turned out that the Cangting Army had already shot all the ten arrows stored in the arrow box.
The Hun cavalry has been plundering and killing all year round, and they have a lot of experience in warfare, and at this moment they suddenly found that the opponent's terrible crossbow firepower had stopped, and after being stunned for a moment, they immediately realized that they needed to reload, and a firepower vacuum appeared!
Thinking of this, all the Hun cavalry became excited, howled hysterically, and frantically urged the war horses under their crotches to rush frantically towards the Yulin Army!
The distance of more than twenty paces was fleeting, and the Hun cavalry wave had already rushed to the front of the Yulin Army front, and the crazy and bloodthirsty faces of the Huns were all imprinted in the eyes of the Yulin officers and soldiers!
In the blink of an eye, the wave of Hun cavalry slammed into the defensive front formed by the Yingyang Army under the command of the Yulin Army, and the huge impact sound sounded, and the whole world seemed to tremble violently!
The defense line of the Eagle Yang Army was staggered at this moment, as if it would collapse at any moment! The impact of these cavalry under Zait's command is even more terrifying than the cavalry of the Right Virtuous King!
The eyes of the Xiongnu princes who were watching the battle in the rear widened, and except for King Youxian, everyone felt that those Han Dynasty Yulin troops in front of them must have collapsed immediately under the fierce impact of the Zait cavalry, and the whole army collapsed.
Therefore, everyone was ready to order their army to attack and pick the peaches on the ground.
However, as time passed, the scene they expected of the complete collapse of the Han army did not appear, and the cavalry under the command of Zait had exhausted the power of the charge, but they could not break the formation at all, and they were all crowded in front of the opponent's line!?
When the Hun princes saw this scene, their eyes couldn't help but widen, revealing a look of disbelief.
Zait looked at the cavalry group under his command that had exhausted the power of the charge, and the shock on his face was even greater than that of the other princes, as if he had seen the most incredible and ridiculous thing.
It's no wonder that he hasn't fought with the Han army in the past, but the Han army that fought with him didn't have an army that could withstand the charge of the elite cavalry under his command, and his cavalry could crush the Han army in front of him every time with a devastating momentum!
So when he saw the military formation of the Yulin army, he didn't take it seriously at all.
I only feel that these Yulin troops are slightly stronger than the previous Han army, and it is useless, and under the charge of the war horses under his command, they will also be completely shattered in an instant like a fence under the wind!
However, the scene in front of him completely exceeded his expectations, as if the full charge of his elite cavalry was useless, and the opponent's army formation was still standing in front of him!! How is this possible!?
And at the moment when Zait was shocked and incredulous, the Yulin army was not idle, part of the Cangting army was quickly reloading the chain of strong horses, while the other part of the Cangting army put away the chain of strong crossbows and pulled out the throwing spears on their backs.
With Zhang Lang's order, those Cangting troops slammed their throwing guns at the Hun cavalry who were crowded in front of the front line and couldn't advance or retreat for a while!
I saw countless throwing spears flying, passing over the heads of the Eagle Yang Army, and falling into the middle of the Hun cavalry!
Where could the Hun cavalry, dressed only in light leather armor, resist the attack of the spear, and they were knocked off their horses by the spear, and the screams resounded one after another!
The Huns were furious, howling and urging their horses to pounce on the defense line of the Eagle Yang Army, brandishing swords and spears to attack, trying to break through the defense line in front of them and kill those hateful Yulin Army!
The loud sound of ping-pong was loud, it was the sound of knives and guns hitting the heavy shield iron armor, and the movement was extremely amazing!
However, although the movement was large, the Hun cavalry could not cause much damage to the Yingyang army wearing heavy shields and heavy iron armor, let alone break the formation!
At the same time, the Cangting army continued to throw pieces of throwing guns at the Hun cavalry,
The Hun cavalry blocked by the defense line of the Yingyang Army was completely in a situation of being passively beaten, and as the guns flew away one by one, the Hun cavalry fell to the ground one by one, and the scene began to be chaotic!
Zait was furious to the extreme, constantly shouting and urging his army to break through the enemy line!
And the cavalry under his command had already used their strength to attack, but in front of the heavy shield and iron-clad Eagle Yang army, their onslaught was completely useless, and before you knew it, the momentum of the Huns began to decline!
And at this moment, the Cangting Army, which had reloaded the chain of strong crossbow arrows, had already raised the chain of strong crossbows in their hands and aimed at the Hun cavalry that was blocked by the Eagle Yang Army!
Zhang Lang immediately raised his right hand and shouted: "Eagle Yang Army squat!" ”
The Yingyang army, which was at the forefront, immediately supported the heavy shield and squatted down, and the Hun cavalry group crowded in front of the front line was completely exposed in front of the Cangting army's repeating crossbows.
