Chapter 553: Iron Hedgehog

When the armed foot soldiers fearlessly charged at the torrent of cavalry, there must have been many who thought that these foot soldiers must have gone mad.

But in reality, these fearless pawns knew exactly what they were doing.

And it's the right choice.

What seems like a crazy move is actually to reduce damage.

And the reason for this is also very simple, the seemingly death-seeking approach of the Dayu coalition army is to shorten the distance between them and the steppe cavalry.

In this way, the impact speed of these steppe barbarians can be weakened in disguise, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening the opponent's combat effectiveness.

"Brothers killed! Don't give these steppe barbarians time to rush and kill. ”

The generals of the Qingjia Army who rushed to the front shouted loudly.

Then the Qingjia soldiers rushed towards the steppe cavalry like a rushing wave.

And the soldiers of the Yaowu Army behind these Qingjia Army also ran wildly without showing weakness.

In fact, if it were in normal times, these Yaowu troops would definitely not work so hard, and they might even turn around and run away in the face of the steppe cavalry.

But now they are inspired by the surging fighting spirit of the Qingjia Army.

The blood in their hearts was also ignited at once.

Even the usual squirrels changed their lazy manners at this time, and they roared and waved their weapons in their hands like other soldiers.

At this moment, they have forgotten their fears, and they have forgotten life and death.

The only thought left in their hearts is to protect their family and the country and not disgrace their family.

Even some of the children of the eunuchs in the Yaowu Army even threw away the bulky helmets on their heads.

This guarantees that they can be more flexible in the following battles.

Compared with the hot-blooded Qingjia Army and the Yaowu Army, the personal guards of the vassal kings behaved differently.

Some of the vassal armies, under the leadership of their own lords, also desperately charged towards the steppe cavalry.

However, there were also some vassal kings who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and when facing the steppe cavalry, they were timid, and then secretly ordered their own guards not to rush too fast.

And the most obvious of them is the Jin King's personal guard of the old Jin King.

However, even if they delayed a little, they still had to charge with the others.

Because on either side of them, the Tiger Guards led by Shi Wensheng were looking at them with fierce eyes.

This is also the battle plan jointly formulated by Mu Xiayan and Shi Wensheng before the charge.

They left the Tiger Guards on the side of a kind of vassal guard, in order to keep an eye on these vassal guards.

On the grassland cavalry side, under the command of Muhua Li Falcon, the 20,000 iron cavalry pressed towards the Dayu coalition army like a mountain.

Although due to the terrain outside the Ancestral Tomb of Emperor Yu, the distance available for them to charge is not very large.

But the steppe boys have lived on horseback since childhood, so as soon as they get on the horses, they immediately begin to accelerate.

"These stupid Dayu people really think that this can restrain our steppe cavalry, which is really ridiculous."

Seeing the steppe cavalry constantly whistling past him, Mu Huali said with a sneer.

"Lord Shaman, although these Dayu people are stupid and ridiculous, but their number is still very large, and after this battle, our sons are afraid that they will also lose a lot!"

Fei Doujin said with some concern.

"It's inevitable to lose some of our sons, but it's worth it relative to what we can gain."

Mu Huali Falcon looked at the steppe cavalry galloping on horseback, and couldn't help but feel pride in his heart.

"Think so much about what to do! Now is the time for war, you say this, but it is suspected of confusing the army, if you are the general of my Xianbei tribe, Ben Khan will definitely cut you on the spot. ”

Wan Qi Yuele on the side looked at Fei Doujin with disdain and said.

As soon as these words came out, Fei Doujin couldn't help but tremble.

Only then did he realize that what he had just said was indeed inappropriate.

What's more critical is that now his king has been captured alive by the Dayu people, and if Mu Huali Falcon is really in trouble, there is no one to intercede for him.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, the most important thing is that you go and get rid of these damn Dayu people for me."

Mu Hua Li Falcon waved his hand at this time and said.

"I'll do as I was told!"

Wan Qiyue Le and Fei Doujin immediately bowed, and then also rode their war horses towards the Dayu coalition army.

Just a moment later, these steppe cavalry collided with the Dayu coalition forces.

At the moment when the two sides collided, the green armor soldiers at the front half squatted on the ground one after another, and then tried to resist the shield in their hands, wanting to resist the impact of the grassland cavalry.

But the impact of the steppe cavalry was too strong.

And the Qingjia Army resisted too hastily.

Therefore, at the moment of contact between the two sides, the Qingjia Army in the front row was smashed by the cavalry.

Many of the blue-armored soldiers were directly trampled into meat by the hooves of the war horses.

"Sons, keep rushing for me!"

The cavalry generals who rushed to the front couldn't help but shout loudly with joy when they saw this.

And those steppe cavalrymen couldn't help but be even more excited when they found out that their opponents were so vulnerable.

After they rushed into the crowd of the Qingjia Army, they drew their scimitars and slashed at the surrounding Qingjia Army.

But just as their scimitars were about to fall, they suddenly felt the neighing of their horses under their crotches.

Then the horse suddenly jumped and fell directly to the ground.

"What's going on?"

The steppe cavalrymen who were thrown to the ground had blank heads at this time.

They don't understand what the hell is going on.

But before they could observe what was going on, the surrounding blue-armored soldiers had already brandished their long swords and cut off their heads.

After cutting down these steppe cavalry who fell off their horses, the Qingjia soldiers suddenly retreated en masse, and directly vacated the place where they had just fought.

At this time, the steppe cavalry, who were still charging, found that there were corpses lying on the ground in front of them.

Among these corpses were those of the Green Armor Army and the Prairie Cavalry.

But comparatively speaking, there are more corpses of war horses.

Seeing that his own people had been killed and injured under this wave of charge, the corpse who followed the second wave of charge couldn't help but be very angry.

"Keep rushing for me! I don't believe these damn Dayu people can continue to withstand our charge. ”

With his order, the steppe cavalry once again increased their speed and charged towards the Dayu coalition army.

In the face of the steppe cavalry's recharge, Mu Xiayan's face showed a trace of disdain.

"Humph! Do the steppe barbarians really think that our Dayu army has no way to deal with cavalry? ”

"But the wave of charges just now that Lord Simasa, our Qingjia Army also lost a lot!"

An old feudal lord of Zongzheng Temple couldn't help but say worriedly.

"Don't worry! Then our losses will gradually decrease! ”

Hearing this, Mu Xia was not worried at all, and he said confidently.

"Why is that?"

The old vassal kings showed puzzled expressions.

But soon the old vassal kings learned why.

Just as the second wave of steppe cavalry charged, the Qingjia soldiers once again raised their shields.

At the same time, the Qingjia army behind took out their bows and crossbows and aimed them at these steppe cavalry.

"It's ridiculous to try to stop our steppe cavalry with these bows."

Seeing this, the corpse in charge of the command couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.

Although the steppe tribes lacked iron ore to make armor, they never lacked fur to make leather armor.

Therefore, on the grassland, basically every steppe boy has a suit of armor made of cowhide and sheepskin.

Although these armors are not as defensive as iron armor, they are still effective against crossbow shots.

Therefore, when the Qingjia soldiers raised their bows and crossbows, the corpse Tuguang and the grassland cavalry were not too worried.

Just as they were about to get within range of their crossbow arrows, the steppe cavalry raised their arms to cover their faces.

The leather armguards on their arms are effective in blocking arrows from hitting their faces.

But just as the grassland cavalry was protecting their front door, the green armor soldiers in front of them suddenly made new moves.

I saw that the soldiers of the Qingjia Army, who were originally holding shields and half-squatting on the ground, suddenly put down the shields in their hands.

And the soldiers of the Qingjia Army who were armed with bows and crossbows immediately divided into two rows.

The row in front of them was half-crouching, while the row in the back immediately lowered the crossbows flat.

"Shoot me!"

Accompanied by a loud shout from the camp of the Green Armor Army.

The soldiers of the Qingjia Army in the front row pulled the crossbow one after another.

Immediately, there was a humming sound of bowstrings in the Qingjia Army's military formation.

Because the number of people shooting was too large, it directly caused this buzzing sound to shake everyone's eardrums.

But since most of the steppe cavalry covered their faces with their arms, they were not able to find out about it in the first place.

Just as they were waiting for the arrows of the Green Armor Army to hit their armor, they suddenly found that the war horse under their crotch suddenly trembled.

Then many of the horses fell to the ground.

And the steppe cavalry on their backs were also thrown out directly due to inertia.

The corpse in the steppe cavalry was because he was a general, and his horse was also given leather armor, so that he could survive this wave of arrows.

However, although his horse was not knocked down by the crossbow arrows, there were still five or six arrows stuck in the leather armor of the warhorse.

At this time, most of the cavalry around him had been shot to the ground.

So now all of a sudden, these steppe cavalry who were lucky not to be shot seemed very abrupt.

And the Qingjia Army did not stop after shooting at the steppe cavalry in front.

The Qingjia army in the back row once again pulled the crossbow and crossbow.

A new wave of arrows rained down on the horses of the steppe cavalry again.

With the popping sound of crossbow arrows piercing the horses, a large wave of steppe cavalry fell off their horses.

However, although the horses of these steppe cavalry were shot, most of these steppe cavalry did not suffer much damage.

But before they could get up from the ground, the cavalry from behind rushed towards them.

Originally, in this situation, the steppe cavalry could have avoided these cavalrymen who had fallen off their horses.

But due to the continuous neighing of the injured war horse, the war horse behind was also afraid.

Therefore, even if the steppe cavalry on their backs tried to control them, there were still many unlucky steppe cavalrymen who were trampled to death by their own horses.

"Damn it! When Lao Tzu breaks up your battle array, I will definitely cut off all of you's heads. ”

Watching his subordinates continue to die and the corpses burst into light, he was anxious.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

Compared to the angry corpse Sudden Guang, everyone on the side of the coalition army was ecstatic.

They originally thought that this battle would be a hard battle between the enemy and the weak.

But what they didn't expect was that they could kill the steppe cavalry at a disadvantage.

At the same time, whether it was Lao Jin Wang, Zheng Yu, or even Shi Wensheng, they were all surprised in their hearts.

None of them expected that the Qingjia Army controlled by Zongzheng Temple would have such a strong strength.

At this time, they finally understood why Emperor Shengheng was so worried about Zongzheng Temple.

But just when the Dayu coalition forces were secretly happy, the grassland cavalry behind them suddenly split into two.

One of them was led by Wan Qi Yuele, and the other was led by Fei Doujin.

They separated from behind the steppe cavalry led by Corpse Tuguang, and then began to run wildly along the edge of the Dayu coalition formation.

At this time, if you look at it from the sky, these two cavalry are like a pair of scissors, directly surrounding the Dayu coalition army in the middle.

"Beware, everyone, these damn steppe barbarians must be preparing to find a breakthrough from other directions in our battle formation."

Seeing this, Mu Xiayan immediately understood the intentions of these steppe cavalry.

"Humph! Don't worry, Lord Temple, these steppe barbarians want to break through our military formation, it's a fool's dream. ”

Seeing this, Zheng Yu couldn't help but say proudly.

In his opinion, if these steppe cavalry concentrated their forces to attack a point of the Dayu coalition army formation, they might still have hope of breaking through the entire army formation.

But now these steppe barbarians will attack from three directions at the same time, and it is impossible to break through their military formation.

"Don't be too arrogant, the steppe cavalry is indeed divided into three forces, but their numbers are more than ours after all."

Shi Wensheng opened his mouth to remind Zheng Yu at this time.

"Master Shi, you have a good direction, the direction where our Yaowu Army is stationed will definitely not be broken by these grassland barbarians."

Zheng Yu didn't think so when he heard this, he patted his chest hard and reassured.

However, in order to ensure that these three directions were not broken by the grassland cavalry, they immediately asked Shi Wensheng to disperse the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army to another battle line.

Mu Hua Li Falcon, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth after seeing the changes in the Dayu coalition army.

"The hedgehog of the Dayu coalition army has finally shown its belly."

"Shaman, are we ready to do it now?"

A steppe cavalry general beside him asked in a low voice.

"You can prepare now, but don't act rashly when you arrive at the target location, you must wait for orders from your Khan and Fei Douyin before you can act."

Mu Hua Li Falcon Shu patted the other party's shoulder and said.

"Lord Shaman, Fang Xin, the Iron Hedgehog of the Coalition Army, will eventually become a meal on our plate."

The general also learned the parable of the Muhua Li Falcon and said.
