Chapter 254: The Defeat of the Chinese Army

Huangfu Song sighed, also glanced at the smoke and dust in front of him, and said, "The siege equipment is very sparsely arranged, enough for the cavalry to shuttle. ”

Bao Hong looked at it, and sure enough, it was so. He was seeing Jin Ma Chao leading the Xiliang Iron Cavalry along the wide path between the well chariot and the cloud ladder chariot, rushing in and killing the 5,000 infantry. The five thousand infantry were using siege equipment, most of them light infantry, and were only used to push carts behind ladder carts, well carts, and battering rams.

Therefore, as soon as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed in, it was like a steamship splitting the waves, killing those weak light infantry to the point of losing their armor and crushing the army. The number of Xiliang iron cavalry was much higher than that of the five thousand infantry, and the war horses galloped and were very fast. Therefore, the 5,000 infantry were wiped out by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in just a moment. After dealing with them, Xiliang Tieqi shouted the same high-pitched roar with more sharpness and the same speed, and killed the Chinese army of the official army.

Bao Hong's hope that was finally ignited was extinguished.

Bao Hong looked at the left and right wings again, and shouted to Huangfu Song: "Che Qi, we still have the left and right wings, please give an order quickly, let the left and right wings attack and intercept the Xiliang Iron Cavalry from the left and right sides!" ”

Huangfu Song, who was already dead, shook his head helplessly.

Bao Hong shouted: "Why? ”

Huangfu Song explained slowly: "The speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry assault is as fast as lightning. Even if the left and right flanks move now, they will not be able to intercept the Xiliang Iron Cavalry before they can break down our Chinese army. And even if the 50,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks were fast enough, there were still so many siege engines there to block them. ”

Bao Hong was so shocked that he was speechless for a while. The next moment, he asked weakly: "So I can't wait for anything, can I only sit and watch the Xiliang Iron Cavalry defeat our army?" ”

The grief was greater than the death of the heart, and Huangfu Song said weakly: "Unfortunately, yes. ”

If Bao Hong was not riding on a horse, but standing, I am afraid that he would have collapsed on the ground.

Huangfu Song pondered for a moment, and then muttered, "Not really. There are also some stop-loss methods, depending on the stop-loss geometry. ”

……………………………………

After reading the official army's side, let's look at Ma Chao's side.

Ma Chao led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to gallop at full speed, and in an instant, he rushed to the five thousand infantry of the official army and the siege equipment they used. Among them, the 4,000 Xiu Tu, Hun Xie, and Lu Shuihu cavalry were good at controlling war horses, and it was easy for them to avoid siege equipment while galloping. Not to mention the 40,000 Xiliang Iron Ride. These 44,000 riders poured into it along the gap between the well carts and the ladder carts.

The 5,000 infantry of the official army are all elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, and naturally they will not sit idly by. When they saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry frantically pouring in, they also faced it without fear. But unfortunately, since they were prepared by Huangfu Song to attack the camp, the main weapon was only the easy-to-carry ring-head knife, and only a few hundred people had crossbows. Long weapons such as spears, spears, and halberds, which are good for stabbing cavalry, are not equipped because they are not easy to carry when climbing, and they are difficult to use in offensive and defensive battles.

This also determines their tragic end in the next second.

As soon as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry met the 5,000 infantrymen, they immediately showed them their superb galloping skills without hesitation. Feathered arrows flew down like locusts, and half of these brave and fearless infantry were not under the rain of arrows, and they had no chance to cut down the Zhongxi Liang soldiers with ring-headed knives. The war horse galloped, and it also knocked many officers and infantry to pieces, not to mention the broken gold knife wielded by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that followed.

These 5,000 infantry just slowed down the gallop speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it didn't take long for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to clear out the 5,000 people, leaving corpses all over the field. However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also paid some price, and a small number of officers and infantry flew from the side desperately, knocking dozens of unlucky Xiliang soldiers off their horses. Some people cut off the legs of their horses, causing dozens of Xiliang soldiers to fall off their horses and die alive.

Ma Chao didn't care about such a loss at all. Ma Chao knew very well that more than 100 or 200 casualties were already light for tens of thousands of people. Fortunately, these were only light infantry, and were not equipped with the weapons to restrain the cavalry, i.e., bows, shields, and long weapons. Ma Chao understood that in the field, only if the infantry could perfectly concentrate on the use of bows, crossbows, shields and long weapons, it was possible to restrain the cavalry and defeat the cavalry.

Ma Chao turned his head to look ahead again, Xiaobai's long horsehair fluttering, making it almost difficult for him to see the Chinese army clearly. But Ma Chao still saw that the Chinese army did not arrange shields at the forefront, nor did they reject horses, thistles, or traps. Ma Chao smiled, obviously, Huangfu Song really didn't believe that he and the main force of the Xiliang soldiers were back, so he didn't even arrange these things to resist the cavalry.

The horse super prancing horse galloped, and the Xiliang iron rider behind him also roared and galloped. Only the roar of the Xiliang soldiers could be heard on the entire battlefield, and even the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground was covered.

In Ma Chao's sight, the official army and the Chinese army became bigger and clearer little by little. This means that he is rapidly approaching the official army and the Chinese army. Ma Chao could see what the officials and soldiers had done. They were nervously mobilizing shield soldiers from both sides, and he could see groups of shield soldiers running madly from the middle of the line to the front. The officers and soldiers wanted to arrange shields at the forefront to block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

But Ma Chao thinks that they think too much, because Xiliang Tieqi is much faster than them.

"Three hundred steps! Two hundred and fifty steps! Two hundred steps! One hundred and fifty steps! One hundred steps! Fifty steps! Ma Chao estimated in his heart that the rapid proximity of the distance made Ma Chao's adrenaline burst in his body. He waited for that moment, the moment when he rushed into the ranks of the officers and soldiers and killed all sides! The same goes for the Xiliang Iron Ride!

"Ten steps! Five steps! One-step! ”

"Kill!" Ma Chao shouted, and immediately swung his silver spear and struck sideways, knocking the five infantrymen who rushed up in front of him into the air. He rushed into the middle of the army, the silver spear flew, stabbed left and right, and immediately killed countless officers and infantry, killing a bloody way in the crowd of the Chinese army.

Immediately rushed up was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they followed after Ma Chao, using the broken gold knife to slash left and right, plus the war horse galloped, and immediately leveled the front of the Chinese army, and the battlefield suddenly turned into a Shura field! Countless officers and soldiers who were still breathing just now died in an instant.

The four generals Pang De, Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu, and Ma Dai rushed in, and they were also heroic, killing the officers and infantry to retreat again and again.

But Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not determined to kill. Because Ma Chao knew that only by penetrating the Chinese army as soon as possible could the greatest damage be inflicted.

Ma Chao brought one of his own, and the four generals Pang De, Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu, and Ma Dai also brought one each, and the five of them led the troops separately, forming a conical formation and killing the middle of the Chinese army, just like five sharp knives stabbing at the same heart at the same time.
