Chapter 1003: Cavalry Creed
Just when the nearby soldiers of the Kui Huan Army were shocked by Ma Wu, a large group of crossbowmen rushed up from behind, and people raised their crossbow machines, aimed at Ma Wu, and fired crossbow arrows in unison.
Smack, smack, smack! The sound of the crossbow machine bouncing was continuous.
Ma Wu snorted and swung the nine-eared eight-ring knife like snowflakes.
Jingle Bell! A sparkling fire flashed in front of Ma Wu's body.
A volley failed to hurt Ma Wu in the slightest, and then a group of crossbowmen joined in, nearly a hundred crossbowmen, all pointing at Ma Wu.
Ma Wu clamped the horse's belly with his feet, broke off a shout, and the war horse neighed and galloped forward.
Bang Bang Bang! More than 100 crossbow arrows were fired at Ma Wufei.
Ma Wu immediately lay on the horse's back, poof, puff, crossbow arrows nailed to Ma Wu's shoulder, rubbing his helmet, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows were deeply inserted into the horse's chest.
The war horse screamed and fell forward, and the horse on the horseback was also thrown forward and rolled out, until it came to a stop in front of the crossbowmen.
Ma Wu didn't even get up from the ground, and the nine-eared and eight-ring knife had swept forward.
A series of crisp sounds were heard in the ear chakra, and the three crossbowmen were cut off by lazy waists, and Ma Wu stood up from the ground with a carp, and slashed left and right with his long knife, and several enemies were killed under his sword.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy army, Ma Wu took a breath, handed over the long knife to his left hand, raised his right hand, grabbed the crossbow arrow on his shoulder, and pulled it outward.
The two soldiers who were closer to Ma Wu threw away their crossbow machines, drew their swords, and both of them roared and slashed at him.
Ma Wu first took a step back, letting go of the edge of the twin swords, and then rushed straight forward, jumping between the two soldiers.
Poof, poof! Ma Wu's nine-eared eight-ring knife in his left hand and the crossbow arrow in his right hand stabbed the two soldiers in the face almost at the same time.
He didn't say a word, and was killed on the spot.
Ma Wu held the knife in both hands, broke a shout, and swept the knife around.
A circle of enemy soldiers had their bellies slashed open, and red and white flowed out together, screaming and falling to the ground.
At this time, the Han cavalry behind followed, roaring past Ma Wu's side, crashing into the crowd of enemy soldiers, screaming and wailing.
Ma Wu carried a long knife, galloped quickly, and rushed forward on foot.
The enemy is outnumbered, and the only chance to win is to capture the thief and capture the king first, and take down the main general of the enemy army.
However, Yang Yi was very cunning, he had already fled to the rear army, hid, and commanded the soldiers of the rear army to move forward, unite the Chinese army, and besiege Ma Wu and others.
As the battle continued, the front army rushed back to kill, the middle army rushed inward from the left and right, and the rear rushed forward to kill, and the Han cavalry led by Ma Wu was already surrounded by the enemy layer by layer.
In the chaotic battle, the cavalry picked up and killed the swarming enemy troops on their horses, but among the enemy troops, there were also crossbow arrows and arrows flying out from time to time, and the cavalry was hit by arrows from time to time.
With 2,000 enemies and 20,000, even if it is a brave and good Han cavalry, it will not be able to bear it.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for an hour, and most of the more than 2,000 horsemen brought out by Ma Wu had fallen, and the remaining cavalry was less than 1,000 people.
Of course, the casualties of the Kui Huan army were greater, with no less than four or five thousand dead and wounded, and the battle losses were much higher than those of the Han cavalry, but there was one point, the Kui Huan army could afford to consume, even if it lost four or five thousand people, there were still fifteen or six thousand soldiers in battle.
As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
At this stage of the battle, the momentum of the Han cavalry had been exhausted, and all that was left was to support it.
Ma Wu looked around the battlefield, hurried to a lost warhorse, jumped down, and shouted to the cavalry around him: "Brothers, with the charge again!" ”
As he spoke, Ma Wu took the lead and rushed towards the small crowd of enemy troops.
Before he could get closer, two enemy soldiers ran out with a stumbling rope.
Ma Wu saw it clearly, he grabbed the horse's mane, lifted it up, and shouted: "Get up!" ”
The war horse jumped up, dodging the oncoming tripping horse, Ma Wu urged the horse to rush into the crowd in front of him, the war horse's hooves stepped forward, and the screams pierced the long night.
Ma Wu picked up the nine-eared and eight-ring knife, and around him, electric light kept flashing, and blood light kept splashing out.
In the chaotic battle, from time to time, cold arrows flew towards Ma Wu, Ma Wu could only protect his vital points, his arms and thighs were shot by cold arrows from time to time.
Just as Ma Wu was fighting bloodily, a shirtless man rushed out of his face.
This man held a double hammer, ran to Ma Wu's warhorse, raised his hands, and smashed a hammer at Ma Wu and a hammer on the horse's head.
Ma Wu crossed the knife and blocked the hammer that smashed at him, but the hammer that smashed into the horse's head, he really couldn't parry.
Click! This powerful hammer smashed the head of the war horse on the spot, and the head of the war horse rushed down and overturned.
Ma Wu on the war horse was thrown out again.
He spun three meters away, jumped up from the ground, and as soon as he got up, the opponent's successive double hammers smashed into his approach.
Ma Wu erected a long knife, hard to connect the opponent's double hammer, when the long, Ma Wu feet on the ground, slid out more than a meter away, the nearby Kui Huan soldiers saw this, all of them raised their spears, if Ma Wu continued to slide, the body had to hit the tip of the spear.
He reacted very quickly, his body fell down on the spot, and the slide turned into a roll, until he rolled to the feet of the soldiers, and before all the soldiers could react, the knife in Ma Wu's hand had been swept out first, click, and the calves of a row of soldiers were cut off by the blade.
The shirtless man roared angrily, chased Ma Wu with a double hammer, and smashed at him with all his might.
Ma Wu is also tough, parrying with a horizontal sword.
When! The moment he held the opponent's double hammer, the arrow wounds on his body spurted out clouds of blood mist.
Ma Wu gritted his teeth, stabbed back, and slashed the opponent's head.
The big man raised his hammer to parry.
Ma Wu missed, poked the tip of the knife to the ground, and with the support of the blade, he kicked forward.
Dahan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly withdrew the double hammer and blocked it in his chest.
Boom! Ma Wu's flying kick on the hammer head made the big man lean back, and he took three steps back, his figure was not yet stable, Ma Wu had already caught up, and between walking and passing, he held the knife in one hand, slashed forward, and took the top of the opponent's head.
Click! The shirtless man didn't have time to parry, he was a little slow to dodge, and was hit in the shoulder by Ma Wu's knife.
With this knife, almost the entire blade was cut into the opponent's shoulder.
The big man screamed, one arm was already unconscious, and he swung the other arm forward, and the hammer smashed across Ma Wu's temple.
Ma Wu lowered his body, dodging the hammer head as he drew his sword from his side, and stabbed forward with a sword into the opponent's chest.
The blade of the sword leaked out from the back of the big man, and the blood water flowed down the blood groove on the sword's body, gurgling out.
The big man's eyes widened, staring at Ma Wu in front of him, but his body could no longer stand, and he knelt on the ground with a puff in front of Ma Wu.
Just as Ma Wu drew his sword, two arrows flew from the oblique side, and he didn't think about it, he swung his sword to block.
When! He only blocked one arrow, and the other shot hit him in the side, and Ma Wu's body was shocked, and he stuck his sword on the ground, and pulled out the middle arrow in the side with his hand.
Immediately afterwards, several arrows flew from the side, and Ma Wu's figure turned around, flashing to the side of the big man's corpse, using the big man's kneeling corpse as a shield to block the flying arrows on the side.
He sheathed his sword and pulled the nine-eared eight-ring knife out of his opponent's body, and rushed towards the crowd of arrows with his sword.
In this battle, Ma Wu didn't expect to go back alive, his only goal was to do his best to block the enemy army, drag the enemy army, and delay it for a moment to buy time for the retreat of his own soldiers.
Ma Wu, who entered the crowd of enemy troops, set off another bloody storm, followed by the Han cavalry.
The battle between the two sides has been going on for two hours unconsciously, and by now Ma Wu has suffered as many as six or seven arrow wounds on his body, and the cavalry brothers he has swung down are less than 500 people.
20,000 to 2,000, two hours of fighting and still failed to wipe out the other side, this is quite unbelievable, if you look at the battle damage, it is even more incredible, the casualties of the Han army are 16,700 people, and the casualties of the Kui Huan army have climbed to more than 6,000.
For the Kui Huan Army, the only good news is that Ma Wu and others have become the end of the strong crossbow, and the remaining more than 400 cavalry, all of them are wounded by arrows, whether it is a knight on a horse or a war horse below, the arrows on the body are one on the left and one on the right.
"Kill all the enemy troops, and leave no one behind!"
"Kill all the enemies! Not a single one to stay! ”
Seeing that Ma Wu and the others had fought to exhaustion, the Kui Huan army gathered up step by step in a circle.
Ma Wu gasped heavily, raised his hand to touch the sweat on his face, and looked around.
Looking at the encirclement of the enemy army getting smaller and smaller, he withdrew his gaze, fell on the brothers around him, and asked, "Brothers, are you afraid?" ”
People's eyes fell on Ma Wu in unison, and said: "We are fortunate to be able to follow the general, go into battle to kill the enemy, and drink the enemy's blood, and this life is in vain!" ”
"I'm going to follow the general to the death! The general has an order, even if we are crushed, we will not hesitate! ”
"Well done! All brothers are worthy of the Han family, worthy of Your Majesty, and worthy of the prestige of our Han army soldiers! Today, even if we cannot escape death, we must let the enemy understand that even if the soldiers of our Han army fight to the death, they must not be bullied! ”
Ma Wu took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, follow me to do another rush!" ”
The cavalry led by Ma Wu really brought the concept of cavalry to the extreme.
The cavalry is not defended, and the cavalry in defense is a ball of meat, a live target in the eyes of the enemy, and the principle of cavalry is to attack.
Even if there is only the last horse left, even if it is facing the enemy's thousands of troops, it is necessary to attack, and even if it dies, the cavalry must die on the way to the charge, this is the creed of the cavalry.
Ma Wu led 2,000 horsemen, rushed to kill 20,000 enemies, from beginning to end, they never flinched to defend, they have been rushing into battle, and they have to rush to the end to die, giving full play to the greatest advantage of cavalry.
There were only more than 400 cavalry left, and under the leadership of Ma Wu, the Han cavalry once again launched an active attack on the enemy camp.
The arrows that flew from all directions were like raindrops, and the cavalry in the charge was hit by arrows from time to time, some soldiers were directly killed off their horses, some soldiers were shot into hedgehogs with people and horses, and some soldiers were hit by several arrows on their bodies, but they still gritted their teeth and continued to charge.
Yang Yi, who was hiding in the crowd and watching secretly, grinned secretly, the enemy army was only 2,000 horsemen, but he beat his own 20,000 troops to such a point, it was incredible, Liu Xiu's soldiers were too strong in frontal combat.
More than 400 horsemen charged, and when they entered the enemy's army, only 300 horsemen, covered in wounds, stood there and were all shaky, but as soon as they came into contact with the hordes of enemy troops, they became vigorous again.
A nine-eared and eight-ring knife, the tiger and the tiger are vigorous, and the surrounding Kui Huan soldiers are either cut down to the ground in rows and rows, or they are killed and retreated in pieces.
The battle between the two sides has turned into a bloody battle of life and death.
Yang Yi took a few deep breaths and shouted, "Surround the enemy army!" Don't let the enemy run away! Whoever kills an enemy soldier will be rewarded with 100 dollars, and whoever kills an enemy general will be rewarded with 1,000 dollars! ”
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.
Hearing Yang Yi's words, the officers and soldiers of the Kui Huan Army present were like beating chicken blood, and more than 10,000 people surrounded Ma Wu's hundreds of people.
Yang Yi thought that this battle was already nine out of ten and would be able to completely annihilate the enemy army, but just as he was waiting for the battle to end, suddenly, around them, whistles sounded everywhere, and the sound of killing was bursting.
When I looked up, I saw patches of fire in the night.
