Chapter 112: The Battle of Foot Cavalry
Resisting 10,000 cavalry with 2,000 infantry seems to be a self-defeating move to hit a stone with an egg, but in Liu Xiu's eyes, this battle is not impossible to fight.
After all, the 2,000 soldiers under his command were not given for nothing, including Yulin Lang, Ben Minglang, as well as Yulin Army and Tiger Ben Army, all of which are elites who can defeat ten with one enemy.
In addition, the current situation makes Liu Xiu unable to retreat, if he withdraws, all the more than 10,000 soldiers on Lu Jin's side will suffer. If this is the case, he might as well not come back to his hometown, if he doesn't come, the responsibility is not great, if now because of his retreat, resulting in Lu Jin and other more than 10,000 soldiers all wiped out, then he will be the first to take responsibility, which will also become his lifelong erase
Don't go to the stain.
Seeing that the enemy army had entered the firing range, Liu Xiu raised his Chixiao Sword high and shouted loudly: "Listen to my orders!" Shoot the arrows—"
With Liu Xiu's order, a rain of arrows suddenly rose into the air in the Han army's camp, piercing the sky, and with a piercing whistling sound, it smashed down to the cavalry phalanx from mid-air.
Ding, ding, ding-
Arrows rained down, and the cavalry that sprinted forward, from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and from time to time an arrow penetrated the leather armor on the horse's body, and even the man and the horse fell down violently.
The Han army's arrow array, although it caused damage to the cavalry phalanx, was not enough to stop the advance of 10,000 cavalry, and soon, the cavalry had already crossed the second positioning arrow.
Liu Xiu shouted: "Archers continue, crossbow arrows fire!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Han soldiers holding the crossbow machine pulled their hanging swords one after another, and the crossbow arrows flew out one after another, and the dozens of horsemen who ran in the front were all people and horses tumbling to the ground.
However, even if the crossbow arrows joined the arrow array of the Han army, they still couldn't stop the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Liu Xiu took a deep breath and shouted, "The shield soldiers are ready to meet the enemy!" ”
The Han army led by Liu Xiu came from a long journey, and there were no heavy shield soldiers, and the shield soldiers in the front row were holding small round shields wrapped in iron sheets.
Seeing the oncoming cavalry getting closer and closer, Liu Xiu shouted, bowed his left foot behind him, and stomped on the ground hard, and the entire sole of his foot almost sank into the dirt.
He held his shield in front of him, leaned forward, and stomped on the dirt pit with his hind feet, ready to block the enemy's cavalry charge.
Finally, a Xiliang iron horse rushed to his approach, and the front chest of the war horse slammed firmly into the shield in his hand.
At that moment, Liu Xiu felt the power of Qianjun sweeping over, and although the powerful impact force did not knock Liu Xiu out of the air, it also made him lean back, and he involuntarily took two big steps back.
If it weren't for Luo You and others holding him firmly, it is estimated that Liu Xiu would not even be able to stand.
After the collision, the cavalry on the war horse screamed, flew out of the horse, fell into the crowd of the Han army, and was immediately stabbed into a hornet's nest by the Han army's spear.
Liu Xiu stabilized his figure, the small round shield in his hand had already been deformed, it was originally a plane, but now it has become an L-shape.
He threw the little round shield away, and it felt like the bones on his body were falling apart. As soon as he took a breath, another rider came to him, Liu Xiu's figure jumped up, he was in the air, and the Chixiao Sword swept out.
The Xiliang Iron Rider passed past him, but immediately the knight's head had already flown upside down, and past him was a headless horseman.
Liu Xiu withstood two cavalrymen in a row, looked left and right at his own, and saw that the Xiliang iron cavalry continued to crash into his shield array one after another, and the roaring sound was endless.
The shield-wielding soldiers in the front row, each with several soldiers behind them, kept them from being knocked away by the cavalry.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed up, and many of the soldiers with shields were knocked out of their mouths and noses, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly.
Seeing that the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was too strong and his shield array was difficult to resist, Liu Xiu shouted loudly: "Ben Ming Lang fights!" ”
If you want to deal with cavalry, Ben Minglang is the most proficient. Armed with swords, they rushed out of the Han camp and rolled on the ground.
Wherever he passed, he could not only avoid the trampling of the war horses, but also always cut off the legs of the war horses around him.
As the horse's legs were broken, the horses neighed and fell in front of the Han army's camp, and the knights on the horses also fell down one after another, turning to the feet of the Han army, and they were greeted by spears and halberds.
The cavalry that rushed in front were killed by the Han army one after another, and the cavalry behind continued to charge forward without being affected in the slightest.
The number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry is too much, even if it is as strong as Ben Minglang, it is difficult to protect it in the face of so many cavalry.
Many of them were knocked over by the incoming cavalry, and then, without a chance to get up again, the horses trampled directly over them, trampling them into a mass of flesh.
Seeing that his Ben Ming Lang was constantly damaged, Liu Xiu immediately ordered again: "Ben Ming Lang retreat——"
Under his command, the Runners who were in front of their own camp retreated to their own camp one after another. They were replaced by spearmen.
Compared with Ben Ming Lang, the combat power of the spearmen is much worse, and they can't resist the cavalry's charge, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like a bulldozer moving forward, rampage, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
Under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the soldiers of the Han army did not fall in rows, but fell one by one. In this case, Liu Xiu also let go, and shouted to Long Yuan and the others beside him: "Follow me to meet the enemy!" ”
After Liu Xiu finished shouting, he strode out and ran out, and in front of him, a horse was galloping.
The two sides collided face-to-face, and seeing that a man and a horse were about to collide in one place, Liu Xiu rose into the air and directly collided with the cavalry on horseback.
The cavalryman snorted, fell off the horse with Liu Xiu, and after landing, Liu Xiu immediately made up a sword and stabbed him to the ground.
Whew, whew! Two spears, piercing from his left and right sides. Liu Xiu rolled forward, and at the same time, the Chixiao Sword drew a circular cold light on the ground.
Two horses galloped past him to his left and right, their hooves snapped at the same time, and they fell to the ground neighing.
Liu Xiu stood up and took a breath, when a silver spear drew a flash of lightning in the air and stabbed him in the chest. Liu Xiu hurriedly raised the Chixiao Sword and blocked it on his chest with the sword face.
Dang Chang, this powerful and heavy shot was stabbing at the sword surface of the Chixiao Sword, bursting out a large cloud of sparks.
Looking at Liu Xiu again, his feet were on the ground, and he slid backwards a few meters away.
His face turned pale, his throat and eyes were sweet, his chest was stuffy, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. He was experienced, and he knew in his heart that if this blood was spit out, it would hurt his vitality, and he would not have the strength to fight again.
Liu Xiu clenched his teeth and swallowed back this breath of old blood. His face turned white and red. The general with a silver spear rode past Liu Xiu's side, and in the past moment, he struck back the horse gun again, stabbing Liu Xiu in the back of the heart. He bowed forward, dodging the edge of the silver spear, and kicked his feet the ground, and the whole person jumped out backwards, chased after the back of the horse, and with a stretch of his hand, grabbed the horse's tail. With a wave of his other hand, the Chixiao Sword drew a red ray
, cut off the two hind legs of the war horse together,
The horse screamed, and its body almost stood upright and fell backwards. The cavalry general on horseback couldn't help but scream, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Liu Xiu turned his body and flew towards the enemy general who landed, and with the inertia of falling, he slashed down with a sword.
Burst!
The blade of the sword hit the general's neck, and the latter didn't say a word, his neck was broken, and he was killed on the spot.
As soon as Liu Xiu got up from the ground, several more horsemen rushed over, but before these cavalry could reach Liu Xiu's approach, two of them were cut off their horses.
shot, one is Luo You, and the other is Long Zhun. After slashing and riding, Long Zhun said to Luo You: "Go and protect Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he drew his sword and charged at the other cavalrymen.
Luo You glanced at Long Zhun, turned around and ran to Liu Xiu's approach, seeing that his face was unnaturally red, she asked with concern, "Your Majesty is injured?" ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand first, and after a moment's relief, he said, "It's okay, it's just a small injury!" As he spoke, he took a deep breath and said to Luo You: "Don't worry about me, if you can kill a few enemies, kill a few enemies!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the situation on the battlefield, his own camp had been rushed by the cavalry, and the situation on the battlefield was chaotic. He thought that his two thousand soldiers were the elite of the elite and should have the strength to fight with 10,000 cavalry, but it turned out that he was wrong, no matter how elite the infantry was, it was still infantry after all, and when facing the cavalry, the disadvantage of the infantry did not depend on super strength
's individual combat ability can make up for it, and besides, what they are facing now is not an ordinary cavalry, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, one of the two famous brands of cavalry in the Han Dynasty.
The elite of the 2,000 Han army was scattered by a round of cavalry of 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry. There is no camp left in the whole army, and people can only fight on their own.
Just when the Han army was struggling to support, more than 1,000 cavalrymen who had already passed through the formation turned around one after another and launched a reverse charge against the Han army.
The cavalry rushed into battle, like ploughing, first rushed through the enemy camp, then rushed back, then rushed over, and then rushed back, and so on, leaving not a single inch of grass, and under the iron hoof, all beings were equal.
No matter how powerful the master is, in front of the cavalry charge, he seems so small and fragile. The Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry is such a dispatch, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also the same dispatch, it can be said that all cavalry battles are basically such a routine, to completely destroy the enemy army by repeatedly charging into battle, the creed of cavalry, the value of cavalry existence, there is no other
is to attack.
Looking at the soldiers who were washed away, Liu Xiu realized what it means to be a mantis arm as a car.
When they meet on a narrow road, 2,000 infantry want to block 10,000 cavalry, which is a pipe dream. Liu Xiu looked around the battlefield and exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and then he roared, and once again faced the onrushing enemy with his sword.
The mantis arm can't stop the car, but before you crush me, I'll also kill you; Eggs can't break stones, but I'm going to knock out a tooth of yours before I do.
This is what Liu Xiu thinks at this moment. Even if you are defeated, you must drag this Xiliang Iron Cavalry as much as possible. Liu Xiu pulled one of the cavalrymen off his horse, jumped on it, and fought the enemy with his sword on his horse. Fighting, Liu Xiu felt that his body was soft, the war horse fell to the ground with a bang, he reacted quickly, rolled to the side, the person had not yet gotten up, the Chixiao Sword had been stabbed out first, and it was in the belly of a war horse, and the belly of the war horse was cut open, and the intestines were red and white
They all flowed to the ground, and the knight on the horse also fell. Liu Xiu stabbed his neck with a sharp sword. He looked back and saw that the horse he was riding had several crossbow arrows stuck in his body at some point.
He was slightly distracted, and the sound of strong wind could be heard in his ears. Liu Xiu subconsciously lowered his head, sand, and a long knife slashed over his head, cutting his helmet down.
Liu Xiu looked back and saw an enemy general turning his horse's head and rushing towards him again. Liu Xiu inhaled, raised his sword and took the initiative to meet it.
When the two sides came into contact, the enemy general swept and slashed at Liu Xiu's waist, Liu Xiu jumped up, was in the air, and the blade of the sword slashed towards the opponent's neck. The man immediately withdrew his sword and stood in front of him.
When! The blade slashed at the shaft, bursting into a cloud of sparks. Liu Xiu's stagnant figure in the air had reached its limit, and just as he fell, the other party slashed at the top of his head. At the same time, from the other side, two crossbow arrows flew almost simultaneously, one arrow to Liu Xiu's side, and the other arrow to Liu Xiu's back heart.
