Chapter 126 Joining forces to fight the Huns 2

The Huns cavalry are good at charging. As soon as the war drums sound, the forward 10,000 cavalry drives the horses. After a slow pace, they start to accelerate. The rumble of the horses' hooves can almost burst a person's eardrums.

The purpose of the Huns was not to form an infantry formation in the middle, but to separate the two sides and attack the cavalry on the left and right rear wings. However, Lu Bu chose a recessed place in front of the mountain to set up his formation. The passages on both sides were long and narrow, and they had to bypass them.

As for the infantry formation, the Huns' team must advance in a long snake shape. If they march like this next to the infantry arrow formation, they can be shot down as much as they pass by.

The Xiongnu vanguard cavalry also discovered this problem when they rushed forward. After entering a stone's throw, they could only join forces again and break the infantry formation first.

Although the Huns had many cavalry, they would not foolishly use their lives to collide with the infantry's spear formation. The Huns were good at riding and shooting. The knights kept firing arrows into the square formation while running. Before they collided, the front team was close to the formation.

The edge of the formation swept past and turned back, and the entire team continued to ride and shoot in this cycle until the infantry formation was scattered, and then a general who was good at riding alone led the team into the formation.

The Xiongnu cavalry continued to shoot at the infantry formation, and the arrows in the infantry formation also kept shooting out. The speed of the horseback arrows was definitely not as fast as standing on the ground. After several rounds of arrow rain, the Huns cavalry was shot over by hundreds of riders, and

Because the infantry formation was protected by shields, there were not many casualties, and the formation remained as solid as a mountain.

King Xiutu, who was watching the battle from behind, saw the battle and knew that the infantry formation could not be broken by cavalry and shooting alone. Although the instantaneous casualties were small, the total casualties added up little by little may not be lower than those of charging directly into the formation. He ordered his flag.

With a wave of his hand, a messenger immediately rushed over to convey the order to charge into the formation.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, and the order flag could not be seen from a distance. The leading troops could only convey the general's order by blowing the trumpet. After receiving the order, the forward cavalry turned around again and began to build up their power and charge straight into the infantry formation.

The ground trembled and the iron hoofs rumbled. Although they were still far away, the soldiers in front of the infantry formation seemed to be able to feel the hot breath exhaled by thousands of war horses. This sense of oppression caused by the cavalry charging into the formation made it difficult to breathe. The will of the military discipline was a little bit...

Few of the weaker troops could withstand the pressure and not escape, but the Bingzhou army formation still stood firm like a rock.

Many times, when the cavalry dared to charge directly into the formation, it was expected that the infantry would be afraid and run away. As long as the infantry formation dispersed slightly, it would instantly collapse under the impact of the cavalry. However, today's group of Bingzhou troops who held firm were unexpected by the Hu people.

The cavalry at the front looked at the cold-gleaming spear tips standing up in front of them. It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid. However, the momentum was already established. No matter how scared they were, they had no room to retreat and could only run headlong into it.

"Boom - boom - boom -"

At the moment of collision, it seemed like several bombs exploded in the field, and the heaven and earth trembled. The Hun cavalry were thrown high from their horses one by one, and then fell heavily to the ground. Blood foam flew in the air, countless horses screamed, and countless

Blood mist sprayed out with the impact.

Wherever the formations of both sides collided, a piece of ground was crushed, leaving corpses all over the ground. Many soldiers died before they could even scream.

Lu Bu, who was watching the battle from behind, saw this and waved his command flag. The cavalry on the left and right wings of the circular formation immediately started to move. Viewed from a high altitude, the two teams were like two wings growing out from behind the circular formation, circling the edge of the concave terrain.

Then he came out in a semicircle and surrounded the back of the Huns cavalry.

One Bingzhou cavalry, one Xiliang cavalry, both are elite cavalry. No matter in formation or individual combat, they are much stronger than the Xiongnu cavalry. Before the Xiongnu cavalry can completely break through the infantry formation, the two cavalry

Then he came up to kill him.

The Xiongnu cavalry had slowed down after attacking the infantry formation. Bingzhou cavalry and Xiliang cavalry stayed close to the edge of the opponent's formation, crisscrossing and killing each other. In a short time, they killed more than a thousand of the opponent's cavalry.

"Finally out!"

King Xiutu narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his command flag again, and the 10,000 Xiongnu troops began to run wildly.

At this time, the remaining cavalry of the Xiongnu forward were surrounded by Lu Bu's infantry and cavalry. However, after the Xiongnu's ten thousand soldiers and horses rushed over, Lu Bu's cavalry would be surrounded and strangled by the opponent. The number of their own troops was much smaller.

If they fight, the casualties will be heavy.

Lu Bu reacted immediately and asked two thousand Xiliang cavalry to take the initiative to meet the Xiongnu center army, while the Bingzhou cavalry continued to strangle the Xiongnu forward.

Half of the two thousand Xiliang cavalry wielded long halberds. Those who wielded halberds were all strong soldiers who specialized in hooking the Huns' armor and were only responsible for pulling people off their horses.

The battlefield is full of cavalry. Once they fall, even fierce generals like Lu Bu and Xu Chu will escape death, let alone ordinary soldiers. Countless horses are galloping, either their own or the enemy's. No one will stop to look at the people on the ground and those who have fallen.

Usually before they could react, they would be trampled to death by war horses and eventually turn into a pile of flesh.

Although the Huns' equipment was inferior, they were taller and stronger than the Han people, and their equestrian skills were superb. Many of their officers and soldiers were also beheaded off their horses.

"Fengxian is really talented in the battlefield. Before leaving Jinyang, he was just a military commander and could only lead 500 soldiers. Now he has only been with Dong Zhuo for two years. He has become so skilled in commanding battle formations. Today I

I’ll learn a lot by waiting.”

On the slope, Guan Hai looked at the battlefield where the fighting was going on and said with emotion.

Zhang Mo curled his lips when he heard this and said secretly, "This guy has seen his past life. In his two lives, he fought not only 800 battles, but also 800 battles. Commanding a battle formation of several thousand people is really a piece of cake."

Xu Chu laughed and said, "No, today is really an eye-opener for me! Compared with Fengxian, when I led troops to go to the Xiongnu, the battles fought by Xianbei were like fighting between ruffians in the countryside, haha..."

Tai Shi Ci's blood boiled with excitement. He turned to look at Zhang Mo with an excited expression, "A Mo, when should I take action?"

Taishi Ci was considered the first brother on the battlefield. Although he was both civil and military, he had only fought one battle in Wangfeng Valley, and he had never seen such a large-scale battle. He, who had always been calm, was so excited that he didn't know where to place his hands and feet.

Xu Huang was relatively calm. When he followed Yang Feng, he saw more people fighting than today. However, compared with these officers and soldiers, the Baibo Army was not even a bit inferior in individual combat or formations, and they were all

It was an infantry fight, a chaotic mess, and in Xu Chu's words, it was like a ruffian fighting with no rules.

Zhang Mo looked at the battlefield, then looked at Lu Bu, and said, "Wait a minute, the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army are not behind at this time, and the Xiongnu rear army still has 10,000 soldiers and horses. Our army cannot move at once."

Put all your troops in and wait to see if Lu Bu has any orders."

Xu Chu said, "How about I go over and ask? I think he might be embarrassed to use your people."

"Why are you sorry? I told you that I would come to help in the fight."

While a few people were talking, the Xiliang army was already fighting with the Xiongnu soldiers and horses. The Xiliang army was divided into several small groups and charged into the enemy group separately. It seemed that the battle was chaotic, but every time a small group of soldiers and horses were divided.

During the siege, a team would always come to support it. After fighting for half a day, no one on the side was left alone and was surrounded and killed by the enemy.

Such a cavalry melee can be chaotic and orderly. Not just anyone can do it, but Lu Bu is obviously the king of cavalry combat.
