The overwhelming momentum of a cavalry charge, the shocking force of thousands of horses running wildly, is difficult for those who have not experienced it to imagine how terrifying its power is. It is obvious that Su Lin's troops are definitely experts in this way.
, he actually adjusted a tight charging formation while marching. This kind of ability cannot be achieved without a warrior who has fought a hundred battles.
With such a tacit understanding, the momentum is enough to shock people's hearts, not to mention that when the cavalry charge, the thunderous sound of horse hooves has a strong rhythm. Fifteen hundred cavalry
The steps were astonishingly consistent, one step was as close as the other, and the sound was terrifying!
The Pinglu cavalry galloped unhurriedly. When they were only about 200 steps away from the army formation, they heard a shrill horn sound and 1,500 cavalrymen shouted at the same time,
The sound was like thunder, and the momentum instantly climbed to its peak crazily. At the same time, the war horses that were originally moving forward at a medium speed also began the craziest sprint, and the earth actually trembled because of this.
Su Lin's troops on the other side launched with all their strength, and the morale of the officers and soldiers on this side was robbed. Although they were not so timid that they collapsed on the spot, there were quite a few who looked pale, and even more so.
The young recruits were so frightened that their legs and feet were shaking, and there were also a few who were incontinent.
Of course, it’s not surprising to say that, after all, these three thousand soldiers and horses, including the general Yan Tieta, have never experienced war, let alone the test of large-scale cavalry attacks. No matter how well the soldiers are trained, they will not be able to
When the time came, he still couldn't suppress the panic in his heart.
"Stand still, if you're afraid of being wrong, stand up for me!" Seeing that his subordinates were getting timid, Yan Tieta's eyes turned red and he strode to the front of the queue with a large Mo Dao in hand.
, turned his back to the Pinglu cavalry who were charging madly, and roared loudly.[
Yan Tieta is tall and strong. Standing on the ground, it really looks like an iron tower. His roar can be regarded as waking up the soldiers from confusion and panic, but the overall morale is still not too high.
Yan Tieta was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, he had other arrangements in advance, but he was not afraid that his morale would not be boosted. Now he could only wait for the war to unfold.
One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps, one hundred steps, the cavalry charging at full speed was astonishingly fast. In almost the blink of an eye, they rushed to a distance of eighty steps from the formation of officers and soldiers, but they never encountered them.
When the army's arrows rained upon them, Su Lin thought that the rookie officers and soldiers who had never experienced war were most likely frightened and even fired arrows to disturb them.
The "chaotic" cavalry charge formation was forgotten. Su Lin really couldn't muster up much energy to fight against such a rookie unit. However, no matter what, he still had to get the credit he deserved, regardless of whether he won or not.
Therefore, as soon as he reached the life-and-death line of charging at eighty steps, Su Lin raised the saber in his hand without hesitation and shouted: "Raise the saber!"
With this order, 1,500 Pinglu cavalrymen raised their sabers close to their sides in unison. The original posture of leaning on the horse's back also changed to an upright position at this moment, and the neatness and uniformity appeared again.
Beyond the capabilities of the Pinglu Cavalry, which has fought hundreds of battles, more than a thousand sabers were raised like a dense forest, and the sharp blades shone with blood-red light in the setting sun, just like a group of death generals coming out of hell.
Like a knight.
The sword has been raised, and the next step is to chop off the heads of the officers and soldiers. Even though all the Pinglu Army soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles, when they think of the thrill of killing, they still feel...
I couldn't help but be very excited, and many people had expressions on their faces.
They all showed ferocious smiles, but they are not afraid of anything else in this world, but they are afraid of failure. However, the officers and soldiers of the Lu Army were obviously excited a little too early, and a terrible tragedy was waiting within ten steps ahead.
The moment it was staged!
"Charge..." Su Lin raised his voice and was about to give the final charge order, but as soon as he shouted one word, he was as lifeless as a rooster with its neck strangled - tripping the horse rope, seven or eight times in succession.
The stumbling rope lay across the ground
On the surface, Su Lin himself was lucky enough to escape this disaster, but the officers and soldiers of the Pinglu Army who followed behind him were not so lucky. Dozens of unlucky cavalrymen were tripped by the horse ropes and fell off their horses.
The comrade who was rushed up from behind was alive
The horse was trampled to a pulp, and the man and his horse turned around. The originally neat arrow formation suddenly turned into a mess. Before Su Lin could give the order to adjust, he suddenly felt his body sink, and the horse under his crotch was stepped on.
A huge pit, facing the pit
With the sharp wooden stakes coming from below, Su Lin only had time to leap back to the edge of the pit with all his strength. However, he tried his best to save the horse that had lost its footing. He could only watch helplessly as his beloved war horse was hit by several sharp wooden stakes.
They were strung together into blood gourds.
Su Lin was lucky. With his good martial arts skills, he managed to escape from death. However, the cavalry who charged after him were in misfortune. At this time, they had just passed through the interception of the trip horse rope, and their formation was in the process of being intercepted.
In the chaos, it was impossible for the cavalry to control the charge.
Although he knew that there was a trap in front of him, he could only rush forward bravely. In this way, the several large traps dug by the army at a distance of more than 40 steps were worth the money.
The more than two hundred and fifty Pinglu Army officers and soldiers had not yet come face-to-face with the officers and soldiers.
Counting the victims of the trap, and counting the ghosts who had been killed and injured by the horse rope, more than 350 cavalry were lost. However, the tragedy was not over yet. Just when the Pinglu army was in chaos, the officers and soldiers arrayed themselves.
A loud roar came from Yan Tieta: "Fire the arrow!"
With an order, the crossbowmen who were originally closely arranged in front of the shield-swordsmen pulled the triggers and fired arrows. More than a thousand steel arrows were densely packed like locusts and were lucky enough to escape the stumbling rope.
The Pinglu Army cavalry who had escaped the trap again fired violently at them.
The distance was really too close. At such a distance of more than thirty steps, even the poorest crossbowmen would not be able to miss the target. After this rain of arrows washed away the unlucky Pinglu Army soldiers, they fell again.
He rode more than 250 horses, from eighty to forty paces, so short
In a short distance of more than 40 steps, more than 600 of the 1,500 cavalry were lost. What made the Pinglu Army even more uncomfortable was that at this time, not only the rhythm of the charge was completely lost, but even the general's life or death was unknown.
, the entire army lost its unified command and could only fight independently.
A strong army is a strong army. If it were a different army, once it was in the situation of the Pinglu Army, it would have been defeated long ago, but that was not the case with the Pinglu Army. Even if so many troops were lost, even if it lost its unified command,
Even if faced with
Despite the tight defense line of the officers and soldiers, who were equipped with both swords and guns, the officers and soldiers of the Pinglu Army were divided into dozens of squads. Under the leadership of the team officers, they still rushed towards the officers and soldiers without hesitation, each and every one of them roared again and again.
, murderous aura burst out!
"Put up a shield wall, block it!"
After all, Yan Tieta has seen a large-scale cavalry melee, but he has never seen a team as tenacious as the Pinglu cavalry. They actually dared to charge into the formation despite suffering such heavy losses. He couldn't help but feel
My heart sank, knowing that a bloody battle was avoidable.
, then roared and issued a combat order. With this order, the crossbowmen who were originally standing at the front quickly retreated to the back of the formation, busy preparing for the second wave of arrow rain, while the shield swordsmen shouted
Put the big shields in your hands together to form a thick shield wall with a slope.
"Go, go, go!"
The shield formation of the official army had just taken shape, and the Pinglu cavalry had already rushed forward with shouts. They rushed their horses towards the shield wall without hesitation, but when they heard a loud "plop" sound, most of the Pinglu cavalry that rushed forward first came.
A man and a horse were hit and killed.
On the shield wall, even if a few lucky ones were knocked to the ground by the dying horses, they could not escape the trampling of their comrades who came up later. With only the slightest chance of survival, in just an instant, as many Pinglu Army cavalry were killed in the collision.
More than sixty riders,
Although the cost was not small, he used his life to create gaps for his follow-up group. Under such a huge collision, even if most of the officers and soldiers holding shields were brave men, they could not withstand it.
You can't fly upside down without being hit.
Already, casualties are unavoidable. After just such a confrontation, the officers and soldiers also paid more than fifty casualties. The trouble is that the shield wall has exposed a fatal gap and can no longer effectively block Pinglu.
The cavalry brigade charged into battle.
"Team Mo Dao, follow me and seal the gap!"
As soon as he saw that his own shield formation was so easily broken through by the Pinglu Army, Yan Tieta's eyes turned red with rage, he roared, and personally led a Mo Dao squad to attack.
Rushing straight towards the largest gap, at the same time, various Mo Dao teams scattered behind the formation and waiting at any time also raised their swords, waving them like wheels and rushing forward.
The Mo Dao Team is suspected to be a sharp weapon against cavalry charging into the formation. It should be used at the forefront to completely strangle the cavalry brigade that dares to charge into the formation with the sharpest attack power. Yan Tieta knows this very well, but it is a pity that his men
Mo Dao has his hands together.
With less than seventy people, it was impossible to form a complete line of defense. It could only be used to fill in the gaps. Although it was suspected of being overqualified, it was very effective. With this attack, the Pinglu Cavalry was indeed contained.
A forced advance.
"Rise, chop, cross, sweep!"
Yan Tieta was as tall and tall as the reincarnation of the Overlord of Chu. With a casual slash of the large Mo Dao in his hand, he could cut the attacking cavalry into two pieces, both men and horses. However, he saw that he was roaring a chant while wielding the knife.
Like flying to the ground, mercilessly slashing the guts
The Pinglu cavalry who dared to rush through the gap killed them on the spot. In just a few breaths, the broken corpses of the people and horses in front of Yan Tieta were piled all over the ground, and he himself was completely stained with blood.
People, looking at it are as terrifying as the demons in hell.
As soon as Mo Daoshou attacked, the war reversed irresistibly. After the charging Pinglu cavalry suffered more than 250 casualties, they finally became frightened. Without any fighting spirit, the remaining 500 cavalry were in a miserable state.
The ground horse escaped back, even if it was a fluke
He grabbed a main war horse and shouted at the general Su Lin who was coming up from behind. He couldn't stop the defeat of his men. In desperation, he could only withdraw to the formation in dejection. The first leader of both sides
The first battle ended with a great victory for the army!
"Win, win!"[
"We won, long live, long live!"
"Hahaha, you cowards are running away!"
Looking at the backs of the Pinglu cavalry who fled back without their armor, all the officers and soldiers couldn't help but cheered after the hard battle. Their morale suddenly rose to the highest level since the war began, but Yan Tieta didn't feel the slightest bit excited.
Love, because he knows very well that this first
This round of fighting is just an appetizer. The real bloody battle is still to come. Yan Tieta is not sure whether he can hold on until dark as specified by Xiao Wei. As for how to evacuate after dark.
Here, Yan Tieta also has the same feeling in his heart...
