Chapter 974: The Consequences of Not Being Able to Hold Your Breath

Shield Cavalry!

Guan Yu, who was urging the army to advance, couldn't help but change his face slightly when he saw the Wei army suddenly changing formations, and a trace of foreboding surged in his heart.

When he saw that a cloud of silver light suddenly rushed out of the Wei army in the split formation, he was immediately stunned by the stabbing in front of his eyes, and subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

The five thousand Han soldiers also raised their hands one after another to resist the dazzling white light reflected in their faces, and the pace of their progress instinctively slowed down.

After a while, Guan Yu adjusted to the white light, lowered his arm, and stared forward, his face couldn't help but change.

Five hundred cavalrymen with silver shields in their hands were already in front of the Wei army.

"Silver Shield Cavalry? Could it be that ......" Guan Yu's realization, his face changed immediately.

That's the shield cavalry of the Ma Family Legion!

Guan Yuwan didn't expect that Su Zhe would hide five hundred shield cavalry in the array, no wonder he dared to challenge his elite army of five thousand with 10,000 tired troops.

In an instant, Guan Yu had a hint of foreboding in his heart, feeling that he had fallen for Su Zhe's trick again.

"General, it's the shield cavalry of the Ma family, quickly retreat." Jiang Xu panicked.

Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said proudly: "Only five hundred shield cavalry, what can you do, let me continue to advance!" ”

He was blinded by the anger of revenge, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, if he retreated now, he might be pursued by the Wei army and cause a great defeat.

Since you can't retreat, let's fight hard!

The 5,000 Han soldiers could only tense their nerves and continue to move forward.

In the fish scale shield array, Ma Yunlu shouted: "Shield cavalry, advance in formation!" ”

The five hundred cavalry immediately approached closely, and raised the silver heavy shield in their hands high, impermeable, like a huge silver turtle, advancing towards the Han army.

In the Han army's array, the crossbowmen immediately opened their bows, and the sharp arrows like rain rose into the air, attacking towards the fish scale shield array.

With the sound of showers hitting the eaves, all the arrows were bounced off, and none of them could penetrate them.

The corners of Ma Yunlu's lips slanted with a disdainful sneer.

The silver shield of her Ma family, but it is three times the thickness of an ordinary iron shield, and there are three layers of cowhide inside, except for the bed crossbow of Da Wei, there is no strong bow and hard crossbow in the world that can shoot it.

The fish scale array did not hesitate for a moment, and continued to move forward, reaching more than thirty steps in a blink of an eye.

"Javelin riders, sortie!" Ma Yunlu shouted.

The originally airtight fish-scale shield array suddenly cracked open one after another, and more than a hundred javelinmen hidden in it immediately shot out and rushed towards the Han army.

At this time, the two armies were so close that the Han army's crossbowmen could no longer stop them, so they could only let the hundred javelinmen approach.

A hundred javelin riders, who were as close as the wind, were within five paces of the enemy's shield wall, when they suddenly swept past the enemy line, and threw their long javelins in their hands.

Click~~

The sound of shattering suddenly sounded, and the powerful javelin instantly shot through the enemy's shield wall, and tied the Han soldiers hiding behind them into meat skewers.

Nearly half of the javelins were so powerful that they penetrated two enemy pawns, and even more powerful ones could penetrate three enemy pawns.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 200 Han soldiers were stabbed to death by javelins.

In the middle of the Han array, the screams suddenly sounded, blood splashed in the air, panic and screams continued, the Han army fell into chaos for a while, and the momentum of advance was stifled.

More than a hundred javelinmen swept by, quickly returned to the fish scale shield array, picked up the pre-prepared javelin, and rushed out again.

Whoosh!

The second wave of javelins roared in, piercing more than 100 Han soldiers, screaming in horror, the rhythm of the Han army was immediately disturbed, the shield hands in the front row were frightened and retreated, and the soldiers in the back row were still advancing, crowding each other, and the formation became more and more chaotic.

Looking at this scene, Guan Yu's bare face was gloomy, gritting his teeth, but he couldn't think of a way to crack it for a while.

In this way, Ma Yunlu relied on 500 shield cavalry, and forced the enemy army to not advance, and the javelinmen shot the enemy wantonly, but the enemy had no room for resistance.

"General, it's not a way to go on like this." Jiang Xu was anxious.

"Why don't we withdraw, or we'll be killed by javelins!" The candidate also persuaded.

Guan Yu was furious and scolded: "Damn the slut of the Ma family, the whole army will attack and kill all the enemy troops!" ”

The order was laid, the flag of the Chinese army waved, and the horn sounded immediately.

The Han army, which was pressed and couldn't raise its head, roared and quickened its pace, and swept towards the five hundred shield cavalry.

Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately ordered the standard cavalry to withdraw, and the fish scale shield array was tightly locked to meet the tidal impact of the Han army.

In an instant, 5,000 Han troops swept in like a tide, and immediately drowned 500 Wei cavalry in the tide of soldiers.

Although the enemy army was ten times larger than the Wei army, it was difficult to shake the silver shield of the Wei army for a while, but it was firmly nailed to the wilderness.

In the distance, the main formation of the Wei army.

Su Zhe couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

He sent Ma Yunlu, originally not intending to defeat Guan Yu with five hundred shield cavalry, just to oppress Guan Yu, provoke Guan Yu, and induce him to mess with himself.

Ma Yunlu did it, he successfully induced Guan Yu to split the formation, concentrated all his anger on the five hundred shield cavalry, and exposed his flaws to Su Zhe's main force without reservation.

The opportunity is just around the corner, how could Su Zhe miss it, Yitian Sword pulled out, and shouted: "The cavalry of Great Wei, the enemy army is in chaos, what are you waiting for, leave no armor for them!" ”

Ma Chao roared, slapped the horse with a gun, and rushed forward first.

Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Yan Liang and other generals who were good at riding and fighting rushed out one after another.

Nearly 10,000 Great Wei light horsemen burst into formation, like a rolling torrent of steel, rushing towards the battle group in front.

In the blink of an eye, the Wei army's iron cavalry collided.

The screams, the sound of broken limbs, and the neighing of war horses suddenly rose and echoed over the Gobi.

Countless streams of blood rose into the air, staining the sky with a layer of blood mist, and on the rolling yellow sand of the Gobi, it was even more tragic and crimson.

Countless Han soldiers were smashed to pieces, and the severed arms and heads flew down in all directions, staining the Gobi under their feet into mud.

Guan Yu finally sobered up at this time, and his red face of anger was replaced by deep remorse.

He regretted that he should not have been carried away by anger, and easily ordered the army to split the formation, just to kill the five hundred shield cavalry, but exposed the flaws to the Wei army, so that the Wei army seized the opportunity and rushed at him on his back.

In this wilderness, once the infantry loses its formation, how can it be the opponent of the cavalry!

In the blink of an eye, the left wing collapsed, the right wing was penetrated, and in the middle direction, Ma Yunlu urged the shield cavalry to launch a counterattack, launching an internal and external attack on the Han army.

Total collapse!

The Han troops on both sides were killed until the ghost cried wolf, and the fighting spirit collapsed, and they fled in the direction of the oasis with their heads in their hands.

At this point, Guan Yu was completely sober, and he no longer had the slightest fighting spirit, so he yelled anxiously: "Retreat, the whole army quickly retreats to the main camp of the oasis!" ”
