Chapter 114: The Great War Begins!

The whole phalanx suddenly began to move, like an endless tide pressing towards the northern barbarian army, in the process of action, the formation of the entire army did not have the slightest disorder, still keeping the shield soldiers in front, pikemen followed, archers followed, archers followed by archers, a hundred meters behind the archers were cavalry, and after the cavalry were shield soldiers, pikemen, archers, sword and shield men.

Tie Ying stood under the Hou Qi, relying on the powerful eyesight of the martial artists of the Xuan Realm, looking at the formation of Da Yan. Shield defense, first release arrows when approaching, then use cavalry to charge at short distances, and then infantry fighting.

Tie Ying snorted coldly, the old routine of the Yan people.

Tie Ying glanced up at the city wall behind him, looked at the giant bows and crossbows on the city wall, and the archers with bows and arrows in their hands, silently calculating the distance between them and the city wall.

When Dayan's army left the city wall for two hundred steps, Tie Ying's eyes suddenly showed a burst of light, raised the big sword in his hand, and shouted: "Cavalry, charge!" ”

"Kill!"

The five thousand cavalry in front of the Northern Barbarian Army suddenly began to charge, and a group of Northern Barbarian cavalry approached the Great Yan Army formation at an extremely fast speed.

Immediately after, Tie Ying waved his broadsword, and the remaining 15,000 infantry also moved, following behind the cavalry, rushing towards the Great Yan soldiers.

With the blessing of the cavalry, the distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and in the blink of an eye, it was already within the range of the archers.

"Stand shield! Shoot! Wang Hu shouted violently.

The shield soldiers at the front of the army suddenly smashed the fine iron shield in their hands on the ground, forming an iron wall of shields in front of the army, and the pikemen after put their spears on the iron shields, and the sharp tips of the spears pointed obliquely at the sky.

And the archers in the aftermath, one by one, set up bows and shoot arrows, aiming at the charging cavalry, a bowstring vibration sounded, nearly a thousand feather arrows rose into the air, and the dense feather arrows shot at the Northern Barbarian cavalry.

A group of Northern Barbarian cavalry saw the rain of arrows coming, immediately leaned on the horse's back, clinging to the war horse, used to avoid the rain of arrows, a round of arrow rain passed, the charging cavalry fell a dozen, and the remaining feather arrows did not hurt them at all.

The faces of the archers remained unchanged, the Northern Barbarians lived on the grassland, they were born cavalrymen, except for those who were poor and had no horses, the rest were first-class cavalry seedlings. But whoever is selected as a cavalryman, the riding skills are absolutely top, and the performance of the Northern Barbarian cavalry is no stranger to the Yan army, which has been dealing with the Northern Barbarians for a long time.

A group of archers shot arrows with bows again, and nearly a thousand feathered arrows rose into the air, but this time, as the cavalry approached, the number of people shot by bows and arrows increased dramatically, and a round of arrows rained down, and dozens of people fell.

Immediately after that, there was the third round, the distance between the two sides was only ten steps, the arrow rain fell, the cavalry in the front row fell to the ground one after another, and after only one round of arrow rain, more than 200 people fell to the ground.

After firing the third arrow, the cavalry had already approached, and the archers behind the shield soldiers immediately put down their longbows, drew their long knives at their waists, and stared fiercely at the cavalry that was about to charge.

The cavalry at the forefront of the charge looked at the defensive shield at the front of the Yan army and the spear on it, with a resolute look in his eyes, and rushed up the war horse and jumped high, ignoring the spear stabbed on his body, and directly knocked the shield open, but the price was that the war horse and the cavalry were pierced by the spear together!

One by one, the cavalry rushed forward desperately, knocking a hole in the iron defensive wall composed of shields, and in the blink of an eye, the first line of defense had been routed, and the cavalry directly rushed away, and a large number of cavalry charged through.

"Cavalry, charge!" As the moment the Northern Barbarian cavalry broke through the shield, Wang Hu immediately shouted.

"Kill!"

The 10,000 cavalry behind the archers suddenly charged out, and the distance of 100 meters was fleeting under the horse's hooves, and the cavalry on both sides rushed together, and the cavalry fell to the ground one by one, but this time the number of Great Yan cavalry was twice as large as that of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, and the casualties of the Northern Barbarian cavalry were much more than that of the Yan army.

The cavalry on both sides charged past, but they did not stop, and the Great Yan cavalry killed the Northern Barbarians who were close at hand, while the Northern Barbarian cavalry rushed towards the Great Yan infantry.

"Shoot the arrows!" The same order came out of Wang Hu and Tie Ying's mouths almost at the same time.

A rain of arrows erupted from the infantry on both sides, shooting at the cavalry on the opposite side. The rain of arrows fell, and the cavalry on both sides were killed and wounded to each other, and the cavalry rushed to the opposite army formation under the rain of arrows.

Immediately after the cavalry faced the infantry formation of swords and guns, for a time, a large number of infantry were killed by the cavalry, and many cavalry were stabbed down by spears, and the legs of horses were cut off by the infantry, and even people and horses fell to the ground and were chopped into pulp!

Especially the Northern Barbarian cavalry, the casualties were even heavier, because on the side of Dayan, the formation of the infantry was more neat, and there were more weapons in their hands to deal with the cavalry.

Charging all the way, and when they completely broke out of the camp of the army, the 5,000 people of the Northern Barbarian cavalry were already less than 3,000 people left, and the 2,000 cavalry were lost in it.

And Dayan's cavalry is undoubtedly much better, only need to rush through 20,000 people, and there is no iron shield to resist the cavalry's sharp weapon, a round of impact past, the loss is only about 1,800 people.

Don't look at the number of losses and the Northern Barbarians, but the number of cavalry that Dayan rushed over was already large, and the lethality caused to the infantry was also large, which was already a small victory in comparison.

The cavalry on both sides charged, and then there was the clash of infantry, and the formations of both sides were just chaotic by the cavalry, which seemed a little chaotic at this time, there was no formation, and some were just infantry fighting with real swords and guns!

The two sides together nearly 30,000 soldiers rushed together, and for a while, the sound of fighting resounded in the sky, and the battle between the two sides was officially unveiled!

Tie Ying's legs slapped, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly rushed towards Wang Hu, waving a big knife along the way, and everywhere he passed, all the soldiers of Da Yan were killed by him, and they fell to the ground weakly.

"Wang Hu, die!"

Tie Ying slashed out with a knife, and the sharp True Yuan was attached to the long knife, and it slashed down in the air with a volley!

I couldn't take you in the cavalry charge before, but now Ben Hou is going to take your head, and in the first battle, the vanguard general died in battle, which is a great blow to the morale of Liangshan Pass, and even a great blow to the morale of the entire Liangshan army.

If Wang Hu is killed, Liangshan Pass will not be guarded by the master of the Xuanjing Realm, and it is not impossible to take the entire Liangshan Pass, as one of the three passes in the northern border of Dayan, there are a lot of materials in Liangshan Pass, and the purpose of going south after taking it will be achieved.
