Chapter 917 Under the Iron Hoof (10)
At this moment, the ground outside Wuguan was shaken.
At this moment, the expressions of tens of thousands of Yan troops suddenly changed.
There are not many cavalry troops, just five thousand people~
The weapons are not very sophisticated either, just a spear in hand.
Five thousand people, all of whom are the most burly soldiers in the Liang Army. Even a small commander was once a centurion drawn from other main cavalry armies. Who doesn't have a few military achievements in his hands?
Five thousand majestic Beiliang first-class war horses, with strong and powerful hooves when galloping. In order to gather these five thousand good horses, Xiang Jian swept away all the major horse farms in Beiliang at that time, which made the horsekeepers itchy in their teeth.
From the broad chest of the soldier to the front hooves of the war horse, everything is wrapped in iron armor carefully crafted by the Mohists.
The men and horses were all in armor, and their eyes were cold.
There are two flags standing at the front, one is the military flag, and the other is the Great Banner of the King of Liang!
This side of Chenyue, the King of Liang's great banner, appeared on the battlefield outside Beiliang Pass for the first time since the Yishui River.
The eyes are full of mysterious armor, and the whole army is fierce!
Great Liang Xuanwu!
The advancing Xuanwu army gradually formed five rows of oblique front lines like goose wings, and the spears in their hands were gradually lifted as the horses galloped.
Every time the heavy horse's hooves fell, a deep hole would be made in the ground.
Tuotaobuhua, who was directly in front of the army, turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the spear trembled unconsciously.
Seeing the overwhelming number of black-armored cavalry coming, this brave general of the Yan army for the first time had the intention of retreating before the battle started. He was from a cavalry background and knew very well the combat effectiveness of heavy-armored cavalry in such a head-on confrontation.
But he knew that if he retreated now, he would die!
The two armies were thirty strides apart, and the soldiers in the front row could almost see the dust kicked up by the galloping horses.
In the center of the cavalry, a burly figure covered in iron armor suddenly raised his spear and shouted angrily:
"Xuanwu comes out!"
"The world falls!"
"kill!"
A roar shot straight into the sky, and five thousand spears glowing with cold light were ready to go.
"Bang bang bang!"
The two armies collided suddenly, Xiang Jian raised his spear and dropped it, and a captain who was also considered brave among the Yan army was killed instantly, leaving him no room to fight back.
"drink!"
Xiang Jian swung his spear out, and the spear made of fine iron hit the chests of the two Yan soldiers hard. Before the Yan soldiers who fell from their horses had time to breathe, the horse's hooves wrapped in leather armor had already stepped on their chests, and their ribs were instantly
They all shattered and turned into powder, with blood splattering out everywhere.
Wang Lingfu, the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Army, held a spear in his hand and thrust out one after another without missing a beat. In an instant, the tip of the spear was covered with blood, and a Yan soldier who struggled to approach him swung his sword.
"when!"
There was a crisp knocking sound, and Yan Jun's arms were numb from the shock, but the heavy armor did not move at all, and there was not even a little damage.
Wang Lingfu didn't even bother to swing his spear, he just threw a punch without any fancy, killing him with one blow.
The moment the two armies came into contact, the Yan Army's front line was on the verge of being shattered, and countless people fell off their horses. The panicked spears in the hands of the Yan Army's cavalry were now just decorations, causing almost no damage to the Xuanwu Army.
Under the iron hoof, those who fall off their horses will die!
The wild goose formation quickly cuts in depth. You can hide from the first row of strikers, but you can't hide from the second, more powerful attack.
Facing the heavily armored Xuanwu Army with almost no flaws, the 7,000 Yan Army directly opposite suffered heavy casualties. Even if they wanted to kill the enemy, they were unable to do anything.
"Not bad, not bad." Chenyue on the hillside in the distance looked at the overwhelming Xuanwu Army and chuckled: "Xiang Jian and his two men really did not disappoint us."
This heavy armored cavalry cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. It can be said that if it were not for the large amount of heavy armor captured on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the help of the Mohists, the financial resources of Beiliang Liaodong would not be able to assemble these five thousand armors.
.
At this time, the Xuanwu Army, which made Chen Yue feel heartbroken and bleeding, finally exerted its due power.
The incident on the central battlefield also attracted the attention of the Yan troops on the left and right sides, making the soldiers who were fighting with the tiger and leopard cavalry suddenly feel frightened, and the spears and scimitars they wielded were no longer as sharp as before.
"laugh!"
Xiang Jian jumped out of the formation after stabbing a cavalryman in the chest. He was already covered in blood but was unhurt.
More than half of the 7,000 Yan troops were killed by the Xuanwu Army in a single formation. Tuo Tuo Fu Hua managed to escape with his life by relying on the kung fu he had trained over the years on the battlefield, but he was still in a state of embarrassment. The breastplate on his right shoulder was shattered.
It was just hanging precariously on my chest.
The Xuanwu army that came out of the formation hardly stopped at all, and went straight to the phalanx of 10,000 infantry behind the cavalry.
"defense!"
A loud shout rang out from the Yan army's formation. The infantry in the front row held their shields tightly, all their spears raised at an angle, and they were densely packed like hedgehogs.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiang Jian's lips, and he suddenly clamped his horse's belly. The speed had just slowed down due to the slowdown in the charge, and the five thousand armored cavalry rushed towards the infantry while carrying Mount Tai to the top.
The Yan Army infantry in the front row had begun to show despair. They knew that they were bound to die.
"Bang bang bang!"
No matter what kind of shield or what kind of spear, they were vulnerable to a single blow in front of the Xuanwu Army. Except for a few horses that were stabbed, the vast majority of the Xuanwu cavalry rushed past and rushed into the infantry formation in an instant.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"kill!"
"Ahhhh~"
If the horses in the front row can slow down the speed of the iron hooves a little, then these unprotected infantry in the formation are really just like lambs to be slaughtered. There is no other way but to kill them at the neck, even with a knife.
It has all become a luxury.
Compared with the Beijin Iron Pagoda, the heavy armor of the Xuanwu Army has stronger protective capabilities and is slightly lighter, allowing the cavalry on horseback to maintain combat effectiveness for a longer period of time.
"Ahhh!"
Screams rang out from Yan Jun's mouth. These infantry were on the verge of collapse. Some of them planned to run away to avoid becoming dead bodies.
Behind the horse-rejecting formation was the elite Divine Eagle Army. Fu Long, the leader of the Divine Eagle Army, looked at the Xuanwu Army who was killing them recklessly in the early formation and shouted angrily:
"Prepare for war!"
He knew that in a face-to-face fight, the 10,000 men under his command were no match for the 5,000 heavy armored men facing him, but there was no other way. Mu Yun Duankang was here, there was only one battle!
Mu Yun Duankang, who was on the slope, had fallen into a sluggish state. In just half a stick of incense, his seven thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry were lost countless times. This was something he could not accept.
"How could it be possible? How could there be heavy cavalry in Beiliang?" The Prince of Yan showed a decadent look for the first time.
Baili Shen looked weak, but his hands were clenched into fists, and his face was uncertain. Seeing that the infantry formation was about to collapse, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Mu Yun Duankang: "Your Highness, withdraw the troops! Reduce losses!"
"Withdraw the troops?" Mu Yunduankang hesitated. For him, withdrawing the troops would undoubtedly lead to failure.
"Go first! Be quick!" Baili Shen's tone suddenly became louder.
"Okay, I'll listen to you~" Mu Yunduankang gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
Baili Shen immediately shouted loudly:
Chapter completed!
