Chapter 71 The banner with the word "ginger" is invincible(1/2)
Don’t look at Jiang Yan’s calm demeanor now.
He was also very surprised.
I didn't expect that I could achieve such amazing results by exerting my "Horse King's Dominance" with all my strength.
Originally, I just wanted to create some panic among the horses, so that the remaining horses would have a good opportunity to attack.
Unexpectedly, with his roar, hundreds of horses on the opposite side knelt down.
Some of the light cavalrymen fell off their horses. The remaining ones were comforting their mounts in panic.
No one cares about him as the instigator.
Now it is indeed a perfect opportunity for the horse to shoot.
But at this time, Jiang Yan was a little hesitant.
Since the enemy's war horses have knelt down and surrendered to him, they can be regarded as his preparatory followers.
He also wants these horses.
Naturally, the more believers you have, the better.
If you accept them, you might be able to speed up the upgrade of your "Horse King's Dominance".
Of course we can't kill them together.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan neighed again.
Tweet!
The four hundred horses immediately stood up like soldiers who had heard the general's order.
He just stepped forward and ran behind Jiang Yan.
Some of the cavalrymen fell to the ground before and could not get up. They were relatively lucky.
Some of the cavalry were thrown off their horses when their mounts suddenly stood up.
Then he was trampled by the hooves of the horse behind him. It was quite miserable.
It would be even more tragic to return some of the cavalry.
Hanging upside down on the horse, being forcibly dragged along the ground by his own mount.
He was bruised to pieces in an instant.
Seeing that almost all the horses had obeyed the order and dispersed, Jiang Yan let the third group of horses launch an attack.
As the horses gallop from behind.
For those light cavalrymen who just got up from the ground, their lives are just like an epiphyllum that just appears.
Soon the screams were drowned in the rain of thousands of arrows.
After the tenacious guard commander chopped off several arrows with his sword, he was immediately cared for by several horses.
In the blink of an eye,
Dozens of crossbow arrows penetrated his body and nailed him to the village gate alive.
When Zhang Xun saw the miserable situation of the Qingqi camp outside the stronghold, his heart ached.
Roll your motherfucker!
He is really a "ghost horse" who can shoot arrows by himself!
Forget it if my unlucky nephew Zhang Sheng dies.
It's a pity that the personal guard commander who has followed him for many years and the Qingqi battalion he brought from Huainan.
With this rain of arrows, 89% of the four hundred Qingqi were killed or injured, and they were completely wiped out.
The dozens of people who survived were of little use.
Because even the horses were scared away.
A cavalry without a horse is worse than a well-trained infantry.
I was forced to work as a crossbowman, which was fine.
"Get on the horse!" Zhang Xun shouted.
He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. How could he shrink back due to the loss of thousands of people?
Together with the reinforcements from Dongying, there are still more than 10,000 men here who can fight.
He didn't believe how much water could be created with just a few hundred horses.
Those crossbow arrows are gone after being shot once, what's so scary.
Under Zhang Xun’s order.
A group of auxiliary soldiers pushed the horse-repelling stakes and began to form formations outside the camp gate.
The Tuen Gate at the back was wide open, and groups of infantry who had been waiting for it ran out.
Under the command of the captains of their respective teams,
There were about a thousand sword and shield bearers holding wooden shields, forming a neat queue behind the horse.
Immediately afterwards, another thousand people holding sharp spears crossed and took up positions behind the sword and shield man.
Reject horse guns.
Specifically built to counteract cavalry.
The diameter of the wood is two feet and the length is one foot. The tip is sharp.
Once the formation is set up.
The faster the cavalry is, the more tragic their death will be after collision.
There are horse-rejecting stakes in front, and horse-rejecting wooden spear soldiers are arrayed behind them.
Moreover, hundreds of crossbowmen were gathered behind the spearmen.
This was previously transferred from Dongying.
Zhang Xun could not imagine that the opponent's hundreds of cavalry were capable of breaking the formation.
And this horse can be moved.
If the opponent dares not rush forward when seeing the tight formation, he can push the horse-rejecting formation directly into Shouchun City.
Anyway, this place is only a few dozen miles away from Shouchun City.
At this time, Zhang Xun has laid out what he considers to be a perfect turtle formation, and it depends on whether the other party will take the move.
I saw the opponent’s horse-rejection formation.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but think of the last battle of Baima Yicong in history.
It was also the battle that ruined their reputation.
"Eight hundred first arrived in the north, but a hundred thousand white horses broke their hooves."
At that time, Gongsun Zan was too careless and underestimated the enemy.
He actually asked the white horse Yi Cong, who was good at riding and shooting, to attack the horse-rejecting formation equipped with sword, shield and crossbowmen.
I thought I could easily crush the opponent just by relying on the number of cavalry.
As a result, the tens of thousands of white horse followers with the strongest mobility and combat effectiveness were trapped in the military formation after rushing forward.
Not only did it suffer heavy losses, but it also caused irreparable damage to the situation.
Gongsun's army clearly has the overwhelming advantage.
Because of the rout of the cavalry in the front, some of the white-horse rebels in the rear fled back when they saw that the situation was not good.
Instead, it dispersed its own infantry position, allowing the enemy on the opposite side to follow behind and cover them up.
As a result, the entire army was in chaos, morale plummeted, and it was completely defeated.
After this battle, Cao Cao turned from a disadvantage to a great advantage.
Gongsun Zan, the original overlord of the north, has never recovered.
Bai Mayi was so dazzling from the beginning, but he was so shameful when he failed.
Jiang Yan will naturally not make the mistake of Baima Yicong.
He is not a fool like Gongsun Zan who lets the mounted archers engage in close combat instead of guerrilla warfare.
From the beginning, he had no intention of letting the horses pass through the formation.
Jueying and the others, who were the first batch to go back to replenish their arrows, haven't come back yet.
The only thing he can use at this time is the last hundred horses.
Naturally, it cannot be used at this time.
The opponent's formation is tight, with swordsmen, shieldmen and archers on hand.
