Xiliang lacks heavy cavalry, but it definitely does not lack experience in fighting heavy cavalry.
As long as they intend to head east, the Yanchui Fortress at the border of Yunchui and the heavy cavalry in the fortress are obstacles that they cannot get around.
They must not be allowed to increase their speed and break into their own infantry formation.
Otherwise, the 1,800 heavy cavalry and the 5,000 light cavalry behind them would be able to crush the 40,000 of them into meat pies one by one.
Elder Chigudong of Angel knows this very well.
"No one is allowed to mess up, prepare heavy crossbows!"
At this time, a small affiliated tribe hurriedly arrived, "Elder Dong, deputy chief Kang Ansheng of your noble tribe has already raised money and asked us to gather our troops back. Look..."
"Get out!" Elder Dong shouted violently, "Sound the money and collect the soldiers. Anyone who dares to deceive the military's morale again will be killed!"
He was not deaf, so he naturally heard the order to withdraw troops from the rear.
It's just that the enemy on the opposite side has launched an attack.
If he withdraws his troops now, even if everyone's formation is not disordered, it will be the same as sending his neck to the butcher's knife of the soldiers in the opposite fortress.
"Elder Dong..." Another messenger from a small tribe hurried over.
He was just about to speak.
Elder Dong's eyes flashed fiercely, and he waved his big hand downwards.
brush!
The personal guards around him rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and with the flash of their swords, they directly killed the messenger.
Boom boom boom!
The earth shook with the sound of horse hooves.
Ma Dali's speed is getting faster and faster.
The 1,800 heavy cavalry behind them had quickly formed an inverted triangle with him as the sharp corner, charging towards them unstoppably.
It's not far away three hundred steps.
The soldiers in front of Angel did not hear the retreat order. Looking at the enemy getting closer and closer, they could only shout: "Trip the horse rope!"
clank clank.
The fortress soldiers arrived so quickly that they had no time to set up traps or ditches. They could only hurriedly pull up dozens of thick snagging ropes.
Ma Dali saw it, but turned a blind eye.
Xiliang lacks iron, so most of the horse trip ropes are ordinary hemp ropes.
After his mount was equipped with heavy armor, its limbs were equipped with sharp blades. Under high-speed charging, the stumbling ropes as thick as the arms of these children were as fragile as hair, and almost broke as soon as they stuck.
really.
There were a few small clicking sounds.
Those snagging ropes had no effect at all, and all the fortress heavy cavalry still charged forward like wild lions.
However, after the tripping horse rope was cut off, dozens of Xiliang soldiers on both sides of the rope were caught off guard and flew backwards. They fell heavily to the ground and could not get up for a long time.
Elder Dong who was on the observation tower at the back was not the first time he had seen the heavy cavalry of the Rock Frontier Fortress, and it probably wasn't the last time either.
He was not surprised at all and waved to the flag next to him.
"Heavy crossbow, aim at the enemy's triangular tip and release!"
The thigh-thick crossbow arrows had already targeted Ma Dali, who was at the front. Upon hearing this, several crossbowmen immediately cut off the lock pin with their swords.
call!
The crossbow arrow shot forward with a huge roar like lightning.
"open!"
Ma Dali showed no fear and slashed hard with the huge saber in his hand.
Wow!
Sparks shot out in the harsh friction sound.
Even though the tip of the thick crossbow arrow was covered with a layer of iron, it was still split open by his direct strike.
The force of the crossbow arrow that was split in half did not decrease, and it continued to fly backwards after grazing Ma Dali's body.
Boom boom!
A dull voice sounded.
The crossbow arrows hit the horse behind heavily.
Bah!
The two war horses screamed and fell to the ground with their legs flopping.
The soldier next to him immediately drove over to fill the gap between the two men, and in a blink of an eye, a complete inverted triangle was formed again.
Well trained and ready to die.
Elder Dong saw it clearly and was shocked.
However, he couldn't think too much and continued to direct.
"The cavalry from the first to fifth battalions faced each other head-on! The others circled behind and ran from left to right, slowing down their overall speed."
"The infantry builds five rows of shield walls, eat them for me."
As for ordinary archers, Elder Dong did not give any orders.
In front of war monsters like heavy armored cavalry, ordinary crossbows are useless, let alone ordinary bows and arrows.
Angel is indeed one of the main forces of the Xiliang Army, and the soldiers are well-trained.
kill!
Knowing that it would be unwise to confront light cavalry against heavy cavalry, the Xiliang cavalry charged over without hesitation.
Ma Dali turned a blind eye. He didn't even mean to swing his sword, he just charged forward with his long machete.
Boom boom boom!
The two sides collided hard.
Suddenly, people in front of them fell onto their backs, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The triangular formation of Yanchuo Fortress only slowed down slightly, and almost in a blink of an eye, it broke through Angele's cavalry and continued to charge towards the infantry camp.
Without the smoke raised by the cavalry, the eyes of the infantry behind Angel brightened.
Seeing that the enemy armed to the teeth was about to rush in front of them, they all turned pale, but no one escaped.
Kakaka!
The soldiers in the front row put up their shields and quickly stacked them up in three layers. The long spears penetrated through the holes in the shields, and the back ends were firmly stepped on the ground or pressed against their chests.
Almost instantly, a monster with long spikes appeared in front of the heavy cavalry battalion.
And this monster has five layers inside and outside.
"Come on!" Elder Dong snorted coldly, "Let's see if you can break it."
The drums of attack did not stop. Ma Dali leaned down, rushing closer and closer, and was about to hit the shield wall in front of him.
call!
The harsh wind sounded.
The fortress finally set up its heavy-duty crossbow vehicle and fired the first crossbow arrow.
It can be said that the war machinery of the Yunchui Empire was many times more advanced than that of Xiliang. Even though it was a hastily assembled crossbow vehicle and the strength of the crossbow disc was not fully tightened, the force of the crossbow arrows fired was still greater than that of Angel's.
The thick and heavy arrows arrived first and last.
boom!
Suddenly it hit the shield wall in front of Ma Dali.
Wow.
The copper and iron walls in front of me were instantly reduced to ashes.
Amidst blood splattering and screams, Ma Dali's mount rammed in without hesitation.
Elder Dong could see it clearly and his brows were twitching.
The fortress's crossbow arrows shattered two layers of shield walls in one fell swoop, and even the third layer of shield walls shook violently for a while before regaining stability.
Come down and see if the leading heavy cavalry can smash through the three shield walls behind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it is not broken, they can still beat it and maybe eat the eighteen hundred heavy cavalry.
If it breaks, others in the rear will have to think about how to save their lives.
The wreckage on the first two floors still did not affect Ma Dali's progress.
boom!
His mount lowered its head and hit the shield wall on the third floor hard.
Bah, bah, bah,
The densely packed spears broke in response, and the soldiers behind them flew out like broken dolls, spurting blood.
A big hole was instantly broken in the shield wall.
Bah!
The war horse neighed in pain, but its legs still hit the fourth shield wall.
laugh!
Ma Dali took a breath.
Although he leaned down as much as possible, he still hit a dozen spears. The stabbing did not penetrate his helmet and armor, but the high-speed collision still caused his eyesight to turn black with pain.
The fourth shield wall arrived in an instant.
Ma Dali rubbed his face against his beloved horse, which had been with him for more than ten years.
"kill!"
He pushed his legs hard and jumped into the air with a roar.
The shield wall was not high, and the war horses would never be able to jump over it. However, Ma Dali jumped and rolled like this and climbed over the shield wall.
Wow!
The big knife in his hand slashed downwards.
The Xiliang soldier behind the shield wall closed his eyes tightly, preparing to bear the heaviest impact in his life.
Suddenly, the light of the knife flashed in front of their eyes, and many people subconsciously opened their eyes and looked upward.
I saw a giant man with a ferocious face slashing down with a big sword.
More than a dozen spears and several soldiers were slashed by the sword at once.
Wow.
They were as fragile as tofu, and in an instant, both men and guns were broken into two pieces.
Before the sword light here disappeared, Ma Dali's mount had already hit the shield wall hard.
boom!
Without more than a dozen spears and a few soldiers, the shield wall could no longer hold up and was immediately knocked down again.
咴咴咴.
The dark war horse was covered in blood. After staggering a few steps, it fell to the ground in front of the fifth shield wall.
