Chapter 610: A Sudden Decisive Battle (Part II)

A row of lances poked forward fiercely, stabbing into the bodies of the herdsmen opposite.

Cut open the muscles, crumble the internal organs, and pull them out with all the force, and blood and fragments gushed out.

The herdsmen's side fell one by one, and the people in the back row didn't even have time to step forward to fill their positions, and the long soldiers in the back row of the Han army had already stabbed out, and the cycle repeated.

The Han army's spears were like endless waves that constantly slapped against the herdsmen on the opposite side, and the brutal oppressive force brought by them was enough to make any opponent fearful.

This is not the end, the jumping soldiers who retreated to the formation before seized the time to repair for a while.

Some people took out their skins and poured a pot of water, some people took out the butcher's cheese from the cloth bag and ate it to replenish their strength, and some even put water in public without changing their faces.

On the battlefield, that's not a big deal.

After all, it is easy to get nervous on the battlefield, and it is normal to want to release water when you are nervous.

There is no such thing as civility and shame on the battlefield, only killing and the pursuit of victory.

The repaired sword and shield soldiers, once again performing their duties as jumping soldiers, shuttled through the guns of the pikemen in the front row, and rushed into the herdsmen of the Aries tribe opposite to cause chaos.

The combat effectiveness of these herdsmen who do not ride horses in the Aries Department is still stronger than that of the peasant army in Middle-earth, but the strength is limited.

In the face of the ferocious offensive of the elite armor of the Han army, it was gradually exhausted, and it would not be long before the formation was turbulent and would fall into collapse.

The Aries King in the back watched this scene.

He knew that he might not be able to fight, but he never thought that he would lose so quickly and so badly.

After a little groaning, the Aries King immediately made a decision and sprinkled the cavalry in his hand.

The most feared thing on the battlefield is not to make the wrong decision, but to make no decision at all.

The result of not making any decisions can only be to watch the situation irreversible.

The Aries King is not a gentleman who doesn't know anything, so naturally he won't make this kind of mistake.

It's just that

His idea was the same as Li Yunze's, which was to hold the cavalry brigade in his hands first, wait for the timing of the battlefield to change, and then invest heavy troops to decide the outcome of the war in one fell swoop.

But now the collapse of the front line is forcing him to spill his troops in advance, and there is no doubt that he is in passivity.

There is no way for cavalry to directly enter the battlefield on the front line, because the front line has already been in a mess, and there is no room for them to join it.

About 6,000 cavalry of the Aries Department could only go around from the two flanks of the main array of the front line, trying to flank the Zhongshan Ironclad Army.

However, the result was that the Han army of Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, which were in charge of the two wings, had already advanced up at this time and guarded the flank of the ironclad army.

The 6,000 cavalry that the Aries King spilled out to support not only failed to contain the effect of attacking and harassing support, but was restrained in vain.

In the face of the crisis this time, the Aries King issued a big order to all the vassal tribes in his headquarters.

All males over the age of fifteen and under sixty were conscripted, raising the total strength to a terrifying level of nearly 40,000 cavalry.

It's just that more than half of them, that is, more than 20,000 cannon fodder legions, who don't even have horses, have been stuck to the front line at this time, and they don't know how long they can resist.

After the Aries King spilled out 6,000 horses, there were less than 10,000 cavalry left in his hands, which was already the last strength of the Aries Department.

His expression was extremely solemn, and his gaze crossed the front line of entanglement and fighting, and landed on the rear of the ironclad army.

The front army in the true sense, the Great Wall Army from the eastern part of Dingxiang County and Wuyuan County, has already begun to advance, ready to be the last straw that crushes the camel, and cooperate with the ironclad army to defeat the large array of the Aries Department in one fell swoop.

Once that stage is reached, the defeated army will break everyone's confidence and morale, and the Aries King will have no choice but to escape.

He took a deep breath and looked past the front of the Han army that was about to move, and looked behind them again.

The commander of the Han army this time is right there!

There weren't many troops over there, only about a few thousand horsemen.

Moreover, with the continuous advancement of the Han army, the original zigzag front formation has gradually been drawn into a zigzag, so that the foot soldiers are separated from the Chinese army, and there is a gap.

In the eyes of the Aries King, this gap is his only chance to turn the tables!

'Heaven does not take it, but suffers it!' ’

The Aries King may not have heard of this phrase, but he knows how to seize the moment.

As long as you can seize the opportunity to defeat or even kill the commander of the Han army on the spot, then this battle will be won.

"Sons."

To hesitate on the battlefield is to commit suicide! The Aries King, who knew this well, almost did not hesitate, so he mobilized the thousands of households around him, all lieutenants, and households, and the canals "Kill the enemy with this king!" ”

There was a burst of cheers all around, and many generals rode their horses back to their formations, mobilizing their men and horses to follow the banner of the Aries King.

The six thousand horsemen that the Aries King spilled out before were basically mainly vassal tribes.

At this time, there were still about 8,000 cavalry left with him.

These cavalrymen, who are basically men of the headquarters of the Aries Division, are the backbone of the entire Aries Division, and in the event of major losses.

But in the current situation, there is no way out if you don't work hard.

The movements of the Aries King could not hide from Li Yunze's eyes.

Unlike the Aries King, who completely relied on his super eyesight to observe the battlefield, Li Yunze, who was holding a monocular in his hand, clearly saw the cavalry group over there, detouring from the right side of the battlefield, and seeing that the marching route was naturally not to attack the flank of the Han army, then there was only one possibility left.

"Heh, you're running for me."

Putting away the monoculars, Li Yunze did not have the slightest panic in his heart.

In fact, he didn't know how many times he had been on the battlefield, but he had really achieved the extent that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

The Aries King could see the changes in the battlefield situation, and Li Yunze could naturally see it, so he could immediately conclude that he was running for himself.

Looking sideways, the master father with trembling hands commanded, "Armor, get on the horse!" ”

The scholars of the Han Dynasty were not the later wastes who could not lift their hands and shoulders.

In and out of the phase, the horse can pick up a knife to cut people, and the horse can sit and talk about the Tao is the standard configuration of readers in this era.

Even the corrupt Confucians of the Lianggu faction, who are known for their decay and have always wanted to restore the so-called Zhou rites, have ridden horses and opened bows.

Compared to their descendants, it was really a difference between the clouds and mud.

The master's father trembled not because he was afraid, but because he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Killing the enemy in battle and immediately winning military merits is the most lofty ideal of the Han family sons and daughters in this era.

Although the master father Yan was born as a scribe, this heart is naturally the same.

As the order was given, many of the cavalrymen who had been sitting on the ground to recuperate their energy got up one after another and began to put on their armor.

Heavy cavalry such as the Iron Float and the Iron Harrier were not popular in this era, and the mainstream of this era was still light cavalry.

For example, the thousand cavalry equipped with steel armor under Li Yunze are definitely the strongest voice in this era!

They were equipped with steel armor, checked their weapons, and turned over on the horses brought by the auxiliaries.

The cavalry of the Great Wall Legion around them looked at the Zhongshan cavalry with envy on their faces.

Most of the cavalry of the Great Wall Army are equipped with leather armor and relatively backward weapons, of course, this backwardness is relative to the cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom, and compared to the Aries Department on the other side, it is already advanced across the era.

Wait until Li Yunze's side is sorted out and enter a state of combat readiness.

The Aries King, who had traveled more than ten miles over there, finally saw the complete Han cavalry.

The cavalry of the Han army on both flanks is negligible, and the cavalry of the Great Wall Army, which has been dealing with all year round, is very familiar.

But in the middle of that big lump of cavalry. Why is it so glaring?

At this time, the sun overhead has shifted from the easterly near noon to the slightly westerly afternoon, and the Aries King, who is circling from the flanks, is coincidentally facing the sun directly.

The cavalry on the opposite side was very bright in the sunlight, as if it would glow.

When I looked closely, I gasped.

I saw that those cavalrymen were not only wearing extremely beautiful iron armor, but even the tall horses that were obviously carefully selected under their crotch were wearing iron armor!

The Aries King was stunned, he had never seen the existence of such a human being!

Moreover, the armor on these cavalry was obviously brighter than the iron armor of those Han army foot soldiers.

This is natural, when reflective, steel must be brighter than iron, and Li Yunze has also specially arranged for craftsmen to polish it.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the morale of the Aries cavalry is obviously low, and many people are shocked.

"The King."

There are people who are familiar with the affairs of the Han Dynasty and come forward to salute, "A certain view of that Daxu, the commander of the Han army in this battle is the king of Zhongshan!" ”

"King Zhongshan?" The Aries King shook his head: "Which Zhongshan King?" ”

"It was the last time in Dingxiang County, the king of Zhongshan of the Han Kingdom who defeated the big danghu Subulu, and it is said that he is the son of the Son of Heaven of the Han Kingdom."

"It's him!"

The Aries King's heart was first shocked, and then he was happy.

What is surprising is that this Zhongshan King is said to be very capable of fighting, and that fool of Subulu is defeated in the hands of this person.

And he also invented the van car, which really made the entire Huns scratch their heads, and they couldn't find a way to crack it.

The good news is that if this person is captured or even killed in this battle, it is a great achievement!

Even if the Aries Department is exhausted today, Da Shan Yu will assign him a cattle and sheep population tribe because of this great merit.

The Aries King, who had no way out, ignored the dazzling light on the opposite side, brandished the saber inlaid with large gems in his hand and roared "Kill~~~"

When the battle situation was not chosen, the Huns also dared to ride their horses and rush into battle, not only guerrilla attacks.

Raised his hand and dropped the ghost face, exhaling heavily of turbid air.

Li Yunze pulled out his saber and raised it high, and then slowly fell forward.

The cavalry, which was lined up, began to slowly ride forward.

The horse's speed gradually increased, and it didn't take much effort to start the charge mode.

Under the galloping of thousands of horses, the sound of mud and grass splashing hooves was like thunder, and the earth was trembling.

The distance of several miles is not a distance at all on the charging side of the cavalry.

The two sides soon rushed together.

The first to greet was a rain of arrows.

With the speed of a cavalry charge, such a rain of arrows usually has only one chance to unleash a round.

Then there is a direct face-to-face impact.

War horses are staggered, weapons are greeted.

In the midst of a messy sound, countless people screamed and fell off their horses, and were immediately drowned out by the countless hooves of the horses behind.

The Han cavalry was small, but they were well-equipped.

Especially the elite cavalry of Zhongshan Kingdom, most of them use spears first, stab people while letting go to avoid reaction force, and then pull out and take off other weapons to wield and fight.

The steel armor they are equipped with is super strong, and the Hun cavalry can't hurt their swords here.

There was nothing wrong with slashing people in the past, at most they drew a spark on the armor, but the Han army fought back, basically either dead or wounded.

Li Yunze was not afraid of the reaction force, brandished the iron gun in his hand as if entering a no-man's land, and shot down more than ten Hun cavalry one after another, and his eyes suddenly became empty.

The cavalry who charged out of the formation had already rushed out of the enemy formation.
