The power of the Huns' cavalry can be seen from the battle between the two sides. In this period of time, both sides suffered casualties. Relying on the power of the armor, the Shanshan Guards were still able to gain some advantages, but they wanted to rush past the officers.
However, it is not possible to support friendly forces.
Gu Dashou also tried to send people to rush forward with arrows, hoping to penetrate the Huns' cavalry formation and carve out a bloody path.
But facts have proven that this method does not work. When a company of hundreds of cavalry rushed into the Hun cavalry and faced attacks from all directions, it took only half a cup of tea for the soldiers of that company to completely
They were drowned among the Huns cavalry, and no one survived.
"Send another battalion, and if that doesn't work, send a regiment. We must rush over anyway." Gu Dashou's eyes turned red and he roared angrily.
After hearing this, several officers around him nodded with bitter expressions. Although the losses would be great, compared to letting the Huns flee eastward, the consequences would only be more serious.
"Brigadier, our heavy cavalry is here!"
Just when the officers of the Wild Wolf Brigade wanted to go down to convey the order, a joyful voice came. Then a heavy armored cavalry team came from far and near.
"Great, Brigadier Zhou is here to support us." After seeing who was coming, Gu Dashou's eyes turned red with excitement, and then he quickly ordered: "Let the soldiers get out of the middle of the battlefield and make way for the heavy cavalry.
.”
They are both cavalry, but the combat power of light cavalry is far inferior to that of heavy cavalry. I still remember during the previous exercises, in order to block the charge of heavy cavalry, a brigade of light cavalry rushed forward but could not stop the advance of a regiment.
pace.
This is enough to explain everything. Now that the heavy cavalry has arrived, Gu Dashou sees hope. "Everyone's eyes widened. Once the heavy cavalry makes a hole for us, we will rush over immediately and support as quickly as possible."
Second Field Army."
"No." The other officers agreed in unison, and then ran towards the teams one by one.
The heavy cavalry arrived, led by Brigadier Zhou Jinwen himself. On his left was Fang Sheng, the commander of the Second Regiment.
Behind the two men was a heavy armored cavalry regiment. No matter the thickness of the armor, the armor of the war horses, or the power of the weapons in their hands, the light cavalry could not compare.
In the middle of the official road, the light cavalry of the Wild Wolf Brigade had given way to the middle of the road, so that there was no obstacle for the heavy cavalry to appear here.
As soon as they appeared, they crashed into the camp of the Huns cavalry like giant elephants. The weight of the horses was more than two thousand kilograms. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they were defeated just by collision without any armor protection.
, the unprotected Huns war horses fell backwards and to both sides one by one.
It gives the impression that a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds rushed into a group of children. He could bump into a large number of people with just a raise of his hands and feet.
As soon as the heavy cavalry appeared, the pressure on the Huns' cavalry increased obviously. When the scimitars in their hands slashed over and hit the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry, they only left white marks, but their giant long swords
When it was cut, it could easily split their bodies in two. When the Huns cavalry were like dominoes, they fell to the ground row by row.
The ferocity of the heavy cavalry scared many Hun cavalry. If the two sides were evenly matched, they would not be afraid. Even if they were outnumbered, they would still dare to fight knowing that they would die. But when they saw that they could not hurt anyone and could only rush forward to die,
Many people had a look of fear in their eyes.
"Don't be afraid, we are fighting for the Huns and dying for the Qiao family. Even if we die in the battle, our souls will enjoy the incense of future generations, and our spirit will never be extinguished." Seeing the trend of commotion ahead,
, Qiao Tai had to shout loudly, hoping to encourage the brothers below.
"Fire the arrow, in that direction, and shoot towards death." Gu Dashou found the source of the sound and shouted loudly to Hua Gui, the commander of the regiment beside him.
"Come on, soldiers of the first regiment, take out your bows and arrows and shoot with the regiment leader!" After Hua Gui agreed, he personally took out the long bow with horns and raised the arrow to shoot.
Suddenly, more than a thousand archers released their bows and arrows, causing arrows to rain down in the area. Qiao Tai wanted to shout and command his troops to block the charge of the heavy cavalry, but suddenly he felt a pain on his shoulder.
Next, I saw an undercut arrow taking root on my shoulder.
"Ah!" While letting out a cry of pain, Qiao Tai was also ruthless. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, causing a piece of flesh and blood to separate from his body, taking out a large piece of flesh.
of blood stains.
The intense pain almost made Qiao Tai faint. But his sense of mission still kept him as clear-headed as he should have been. Then, he just threw the hook arrow to the ground, and then there was a pain in his chest.
, or a hook arrow fell again.
Then, three more arrows were inserted into his body, one of which pierced his cheek. His vision went dark, and Qiao Tai finally couldn't hold on any longer. He leaned up and fell to the horse. What followed one after another
The iron hoofs of the war horse stepped on him, turning him into a ball of flesh.
Qiao Tai is dead!
His death left the Huns without a command center and they began to fight independently. When the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry continued to charge, the more timid Huns finally became afraid.
Before, everyone fought with the intention of dying, believing that they could stop the Mountain-shaking Guard with their own abilities. But now, it is obvious that they can't do it, so there is no point in dying like this.
Why should we persist in a meaningless death?
In this way, the first Huns cavalry to surrender appeared on the battlefield, and after the first person, there was the second person, and the third person...
Taking this opportunity, Gu Dashou led the light cavalry of the Wild Wolf Brigade to finally cross the official road and pursue the retreating Hun cavalry.
Xiao Qingyun ran to the third line of defense, which was filled with tall horse-repelling stakes, blocking the advance of the Huns cavalry. Behind the stakes, there were hundreds of soldiers holding bows and arrows, and hundreds of grenades.
The grenades were obtained from the Second Firearms Brigade and were used to stabilize this line of defense. But now it seems that they will not have much effect. This is because the Hun cavalry has such a strong desire to survive that the previous lines of defense have not been effective.
ideal effect.
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing that the Hun cavalry had appeared at one end of the official road and rushed towards the horse-rejecting post without slowing down at all, Xiao Qingyun took over the command position of the commander of the third regiment as soon as he arrived and shouted loudly.
Bows and arrows came down like rain, rushing forward. However, they did not have a great effect on the Hun cavalry who wanted to escape and were not willing to fight. They waved their sabers and fired one after another.
The arrows fell to the ground, and only a few stray arrows landed on the Hun cavalry, but the effect was not very great.
After just throwing away dozens of corpses, the vanguard of the Huns cavalry arrived in front of the Juma post. Then they threw out their nooses, put on one end of the Juma post, and pulled it away with force.
With.
The firing of bows and arrows continued, and the horse-repelling stakes were being removed one by one. Seeing that the official road was about to be cleared, the remaining Huns army finally followed.
"Everyone retreat to both sides of the official road. Do not engage in close combat with the enemy. Use weapons to attack from a distance or projectile. Be ready with grenades and wait until the enemy rushes in front of you before throwing them." With the previous experience, Xiao Qingyun gave the order again.
, is already in good order.
The brigade commander gave the order, and the soldiers below moved quickly. Each soldier held a spear or a sword in his hand, and was ready to throw the object. Although the damage caused by this is still limited, what they can do
That's all.
The main force of the Huns' cavalry still rushed over. After experiencing several interceptions, they also had enough experience. That is, once they are blocked by the Dahua Army's infantry, they just charge forward. There is no need to pay attention to the obstacles on both sides of the official road.
Enemies, because they can't outrun you, have limited damage.
On the other hand, if you want to stay and fight the enemy, it will be like falling into a trap. Once you stop, you will have no chance to escape forward.
The speed of more than 10,000 Huns cavalry did not slow down, raising bursts of smoke and dust, roaring towards them. Brigadier Xiao Qingyun watched all this silently, and when he saw some cavalry passing by on the official road in front of him,
He shouted with all his strength, "Drop the bomb!"
Hundreds of Chinese army soldiers who had been waiting on both sides of the road threw the grenades with their rings off one by one towards the official road. Along with them, there were all kinds of swords, guns and halberds, as if the world was under heaven.
Weapons rained down on me.
The Hun cavalry had long been accustomed to strange things. Some of them bent their bodies on their horses to reduce the exposed body area as much as possible. The more powerful ones kept waving their sabers, trying to knock aside the objects thrown at them.
Boom boom... boom boom...
The sound of explosions resounded in the ranks of the Hun cavalry, and the sound of explosions, as well as the dozens of fragments splashed out by the explosions, shot away in all directions. I have never experienced such a battle, and I have never heard of it.
The Huns cavalry who used this weapon suffered a big loss for a while.
There was a vacuum above the official road. On the road hit by the grenade, there were nearly a thousand Huns cavalry scattered about. Some of them were injured, and some of their horses were injured. They were falling.
Howling on the ground.
"What is this?" Qiao Xiong, who was being protected by a group of clan soldiers, was also frightened by the scene in front of him. If possible, he really wanted to retreat, but behind them, there were more
The Chinese army even had cavalry rushing towards them, so it was impossible to turn back.
"Charge! Don't worry, as long as we charge over, we will win." After only resting for about three breaths, Qiao Xiong still made the decision to move forward.
