"Shooting the arrows," the cavalry on both sides hurried to each other, and the distance was quickly shortened. Considering that the armor worn by these Western Liang cavalry was quite heavy, both sides did not shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands until they approached 60 steps. If this distance was strong, Even if you are wearing thick armor, you will not be able to save your life. Unless you use the arm shield on your hands to protect the key points, the Xiliang cavalry rushing in the front row suddenly became a tiny sound. Man and horses are overturned.
The crossbowmen on both wings also shot out the bows and arrows in their hands at this time. They were a little further away from the battlefield where the two cavalry confronted each other. The effect of the arrow rain was significantly worse. After a wave of arrow rain, there were only a few hundred of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. The rest of the people fell off the horse.
After a wave of crossbows, the Pojun Iron Cavalry began to collect their bows and knives, and at this time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally started their performance.
"Jaberfin," accompanied by Ma Dai's cold shout, the charge of the Western Liang cavalry hung their spears on the saddle, and took out a seven-foot-long, sharp and thin thing from one leather bag. Wen Yuan had been I have always wanted to know what was hanging in the long leather bag that was immediately hung, but I didn't expect that the thing inside was a javelin.
"The fucking javelin, oh," Wen Yuan's heart skipped a sudden slight. Seeing the slender javelin, a cool air came out from his back, making Wen Yuan's whole body feel cold.
It is useless to say so much at this time. The distance between the cavalry on both sides is only thirty steps away, and there is no place to hide at this time.
"Pojun Iron Cavalry, follow me to assault, assault, assault," Ulangu roared angrily, and a trace of wild cruelty flashed in his eyes. At this time, it is impossible not to fight desperately. Only by rushing forward can there be a glimmer of hope.
"Go forward, I am invincible," under Ulangu's agitation, the three thousand heavy cavalry let out a hysterical roar, urging the mount to rush forward like a black torrent rolling forward.
"Put the gun, put it on," accompanied by the rapid and shrill sound of horns, rows of slender and sharp javelins roared out like raindrops, and a large black net was woven in the sky, covering the entire sky and breaking The army heavy cavalry was covered in the formation. After the first row of Xiliang cavalry finished throwing, the second row immediately threw it backwards, as if it was endless.
"Puff puff puff..."
For a moment, the sound of sharp weapons piercing the flesh one after another. At such a close distance, the two sides were pushing each other at high speed at the same time. The originally thick armor became as thin as paper in front of the sharp and heavy guns. The body of the Pojun cavalry was thrown by these guns. It was easy to pierce through, and countless people screamed and fell off their horses, and were trampled into a pile of meat paste by the chaotic horse hooves.
The front row faced the Pojun camp directly with the three cavalry phalanxes commanded by Ma Dai. After a round of gunfire, thousands of Pojun heavy cavalry were killed and injured.
Wen Yuan looked at the Central Army with a heartache. The three thousand Pojun heavy cavalry were built by Wen Yuan with countless efforts and financial resources. Just one round of guns dropped by one third of the Pojun camp. .
However, after suffering a heavy blow, the bad luck did not end, but continued.
"Release the gun," As the two sides were getting closer, the closer could already see clearly the self reflected in the other party's hideous eyes. The Xiliang soldiers in the square roared, and the attack on the front of the square formation immediately stood up. A row of spears that are both neat and dense.
These spears were handed out in moderation, with few people rushing forward, and few people lagging behind, and they could not find any gaps. They could only watch the airtight spear array rushing over, unable to avoid it, and could only block the defense.
One inch long, one inch strong, this is the advantage of long weapons forming formations. It is similar to the gun formation of Hebei Army. However, it is difficult for cavalry to maintain such a consistent step and a tight formation on a galloping war horse. I am afraid that it is several times more difficult than the gun array, but Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry did it, which shows how exquisite the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's riding skills are.
"Brothers, the formation is tightened and follow me to assault. As long as you rush through this gun array, it will be our victory." Wulangu, who was like a nightmare, was not spared, and was stabbed in his thigh with a gun and blood. The hole was filled with blood, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, wielding axe and rushing forward.
"Get out of here," Ulangu roared, and swung the axe horizontally towards the three spears that were stabbing towards him. He was born with divine power and slashed out the spears with one axe and flew away. A cavalry of Xiliang was still carried by huge force and was immediately submerged under the chaotic iron hooves. He had not even had time to scream and had already returned to the west.
However, other cavalrymen did not have as much strength as him. Although most of the cavalrymen in the military swung their swords through the gun forest, many people were still stabbed and fell off by spears.
"Kill, for brothers," the Pojun cavalry, who escaped the disaster by chance under the spear and spear formation, roared and lit up the Mo Dao. They were elite troops drawn from a hundred miles from the Hebei army. Even if they suffered heavy damage, they could not be erased. The fighting spirit in their hearts instead made them calm their anger arise from their death in battle with killing.
The close soldiers intersected, and the cavalry of the Pojun camp truly showed its power. The sharp and bright sword opened and closed, enough to cover the three feet of the area around it, bringing the blood of the big bunch and the broken limbs and the broken arms, screaming and wailing The heavy armor on the Xiliang cavalry was as thin and crisp as paper under the sword. If one knife was not cut into two pieces, it would be at least a deep bloody mouth one or two feet long, almost without healing. Opportunity.
On the other hand, the spear tip of the Xiliang cavalry is too light and short. In addition to the certain threat of stabbing, the slashing cannot break the armor of the Pojun cavalry, and its lethality is far less than that of Modao.
However, the Western Liang cavalry did not have the power to fight back. You should know that half of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty came from Liangzhou. They were born knights and lived on horseback since childhood. Even if they were at a disadvantage in equipment, they could still rely on riding skills. The advantage of killing the Pojun Iron Cavalry.
In a blink of an eye, the two armies collided by. The Pojun cavalry relied on the advantages of the powerful crossbow and the Modao to kill more than a thousand Western Liang cavalrymen. The Western Liang army also relied on the color without hesitation. The javelin and spear formation pierced the bodies of more than a thousand Pojun cavalrymen. This battle between the two heavy cavalrymen was so evenly divided.
"Notify Ulangu that Pojun Camp will withdraw to the pass," Wen Yuan almost watched the two heavy cavalry collided head-on. The huge casualties of Pojun Camp almost made him order Ulangu to withdraw without thinking, although At this time, the casualties between each other were almost the same, but considering the importance of the Po Junbat to the Hebei Army, this time it was undoubtedly the Hebei Army suffered a great loss.
The battle was not over at this time. After thousands of Western Liang cavalry had penetrated the formation of the Pojun camp, they began to face the elite troops of the Hebei army, Zhonglei Martial Artsmen.
