244.Chapter 244: Collision

Outside the Murong tribe, eight thousand Xianbei cavalry lined up in a neat line, staring at the big banner that was moving away in the distance.

One of the leaders said in Xianbei language: "Although the Han people only have 6,500 cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army is very strong. ”

"Now the warriors of the tribe have gone to suppress the demons who eat human flesh. We, the people, are improvised warriors. ”

"Although we have 8,000 men and horses, we are not necessarily the opponents of the Han army!"

The other person said disdainfully: "Although this Han army has 6,500 people, 5,000 of them are Hun cavalry. The Huns have long since fallen, how can they be the opponents of our Xianbei warriors? ”

"The most powerful Bingzhou cavalry has now been besieged by hundreds of thousands of warriors of my Da Xianbei on the Wolf Juxu Mountain. Except for the cavalry, the warriors of Xianbei will have nothing to fear. ”

When the rest of the Xianbei people heard this, they felt a little relieved.

The cavalry formed by Chen Xu single-handedly was only 10,000 people. But they are all composed of veterans of a hundred battles, who followed Chen Xu to fight in the south and the north, and became famous.

Even the elite Xianbei people were still a little afraid in the face of the cavalry under Chen Xu's account.

The wind was still howling, and as a black line approached in the distance, the Xianbei cavalry lined up in formation also began to prepare to charge.

The Han army ran for a long time, but they waited for work, and they still had an advantage in numbers. This war that is about to break out, no matter how you look at it, it is the Xianbei people who have the advantage.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of war drums rumbled throughout the land.

"Boom!"

Three thousand war horses were running on the grassland, and even the whole earth was shaking.

A Xianbei scout stepped forward and said to the temporary leader: "The Han people have sent 1,500 cavalry, each of them riding two, and they have begun to charge in this direction. ”

"Fifteen hundred cavalry, one man and two horsemen?"

Hearing the scout's report, the Xianbei leaders present all felt a little puzzled.

When running for a long time, it is reasonable to say that one person and two riders are reasonable. But how can a war horse that no one controls on the battlefield exert its combat effectiveness?

Although there are doubts, the battle is about to break out. The Xianbei cavalry, if they can't let the war horses charge before the Han cavalry runs over, they will fall into a very passive situation.

For cavalry, strong impact and high-speed driving speed are the life of cavalry. Without this, the power of the cavalry would have been reduced by at least half.

The temporary leader of Xianbei, waving the scimitar in his hand, shouted in Xianbei language: "The Han people dare to charge with 1,500 cavalry. ”

"If we don't teach these arrogant people a bloody lesson, what is the dignity of my great xianhumility?"

"The whole army obeys the order, charge with me!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Eight thousand Xianbei cavalry, shouting and killing, those fifteen hundred cavalry who rushed towards them.

In the formation of the state army, Gao Shun led 1,500 camps and saw 8,000 cavalry rushing towards them.

Gao Shun measured the distance, suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Ready, dismount!" ”

Hearing the commander's order, fifteen hundred soldiers who had fallen into the camp began to slow down the speed of their horses without the slightest hesitation.

After everyone dismounted, Gao Shun didn't seem to see it, and the Hun cavalry, who were getting closer and closer, still drank unhurriedly: "Array!" ”

The soldiers trapped in the camp were like incomparably sophisticated machines, unloading their weapons on their horses, and they were already lined up very quickly.

"Try the arrow!"

Hearing Gao Shun's order, the five soldiers who had fallen into the camp quickly bent their bows and arrows and shot in the direction of the Xianbei cavalry.

Five arrows were fired, and although the distance was not the same, it was not far behind.

"Arrows rain, prepare!"

After testing the approximate range of the archers, Gao Shun gave another order.

The formation of the trapped camp is an inverted triangle. At this time, all the soldiers in the trapped camp became archers.

After they heard Gao Shun's words, they immediately wound their arrows and aimed them in the direction where the Xianbei people were running.

Chen Xu stood on a high place with the generals and 5,000 Hun cavalry, watching the war that was about to break out.

The trap camp is known as the most elite unit in the state, but it has never experienced a large-scale battle. Until now, no one knew about the battle mode of the trapped faction.

Xu Huang and Hao Zhao are both talented generals.

When they saw that in the process of the Xianbei people's charge, the soldiers who were trapped in the camp still dared to dismount and line up, and they couldn't help but sweat for them.

In fact, according to the distance between the two armies, the soldiers still had time to line up the formation. But in the face of the threat of the enemy, if the soldier is even the slightest fear, he will be in a hurry.

In this way, it would have only taken half a cup of tea to line up the formation. They may not even be lined up before the enemy charges over.

In this case, in the face of the charge of eight thousand Xianbei cavalry. No matter how elite the camp is, 1,500 foot soldiers will definitely not be able to stop the cavalry's attack.

Xu Huang saw that after the camp was set up so quickly, he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Disciplined, immobile like a mountain, and fearless." This army really deserves to be the most elite unit in the state! ”

Hao Zhao, Zhang Yan, Guan Hai, and Yang Feng also nodded secretly.

But until now, they wondered how the trapped camp would meet in the steppe in the face of the charge of the cavalry.

The war horse was still running, and the temporary leader of Xianbei couldn't help but feel a little foggy when he saw the action of trapping the camp.

He didn't know what the army in front of him meant.

He could never have imagined that these people would dare to form an infantry phalanx on the steppe, facing off several times the cavalry of his own.

Once the horse has charged, it is difficult to stop.

If he wants to forcibly order the charge to stop, I am afraid that these Xianbei cavalry will rely on inertia to stop when they reach the range of the opponent's bow and arrow.

At that time, they will be passively attacked by the opponent's archers. And these are not what the temporary leaders of Xianbei want to see.

Moreover, the difficulty of fighting with 1,500 infantry was far less than that of 1,500 cavalry.

For this change in the Han army, the temporary leader of Xianbei is even more pleasing to see.

"Stupid Han commander, I want you to know this time what a wrong decision it would be to use foot soldiers to resist the Xianbei warriors on the grassland!"

As if thinking of the other party's fifteen hundred people, trampled into meat sauce by their war horses, that person's face showed a hideous smile.

The cavalry of the Xianbei people was getting closer and closer to the phalanx of the trapped camp. And Gao Shun's face was still expressionless.

After glancing at the trapped camp lined up, and feeling that there were no flaws, Gao Shun nodded secretly.

With the first Xianbei cavalry, he crossed the position where the five trapped soldiers shot arrows. Gao Shun's eyes have never moved again.

Finally, when half of the Xianbei cavalry had crossed that distance, Gao Shun roared loudly: "Archers, shoot!" ”

"Chirp!"

As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, the 1,500 archers who lined up in formation shot the arrows in their hands.

With the sound of arrows breaking through the air, they rushed into the formation of the Xianbei cavalry. In this round of volleys, at least 500 people fell off their horses.

The rest of the matter does not need to be commanded by Gao Shun at all. The archers, after shooting the arrows in their hands, bent their bows again and began a new volley.

Two volleys dismounted more than a thousand Xianbei cavalry. Seeing this, the Xianbei temporary leader couldn't help but tear his eyes.

He didn't expect that the accuracy of the archers on the opposite side would be so high.

Ranged units and cavalry clash each other, and there is a saying that 'there are only three shots in battle'. Although the trapping camp has undergone rigorous training, it can shoot more than four shots in battle.

However, if they did not change their weapons as soon as possible, after the Xianbei people rushed over, the infantry could only be beaten passively.

So after two rounds of ejaculation, Gao Shun shouted loudly: "Immovable as a mountain!" ”

"Ho!"

The soldiers in the front row quickly picked up the big iron shields that were one and a half meters high next to them and slammed them into the ground.

Then, they pulled open the bracket behind the shield and used the bracket to support the shield on the ground.

This shield has been specially modified by Ma Jun. With the addition of this bracket, it can help shield soldiers to withstand most of the impact of cavalry.

Gao Shun had tested it on the school ground, and the shield with a bracket was supported by the soldiers of the trapping camp, which was enough to block the full speed charge of a cavalryman.

Combined with pikemen, a phalanx of iron shield infantry and pikemen would be a cavalryman's nightmare.

The Xianbei cavalry was getting closer and closer, and seeing that they were about to crash into the phalanx trapped in the camp, Gao Shun shouted: "The spear is like a forest! ”

"Ho!"

The second row of trap soldiers, each with five-meter spears, set them in the middle of their shields. The spear is thick and strong, and as long as the war horse hits it, it will definitely be pierced.

The soldiers of the trapping camp in the third row, using two-meter spears, moved nimbly, and were specially used to stab to death those local soldiers who had fallen from their horses.

When the five-meter spear was mounted on the shield, the temporary leader of Xianbei felt bad. But now it's too late to stop.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The cavalry collided with the phalanx of the trapped camp with a dull thud. Many of the horses that were running at high speed were pierced by spears, and blood was splattered all over the ground.

Some Xianbei cavalry were directly pierced by spears; Some fell to the ground and were trampled to death by the horses behind them.

There were also some cavalrymen who were lucky enough to escape for their lives, but they were stabbed to death with two-meter spears by the soldiers of the trapped camp behind.

In just an instant, more than 500 Xianbei cavalry were killed. And the phalanx trapped in the camp did not move at all.

Five hundred Xianbei cavalry, plus those pierced war horses.

Their corpses, in front of the phalanx trapped in the camp, were piled up into a hill. Blocked the pace of the Xianbei cavalry behind and charged.

Some Xianbei cavalry, before they had time to turn their horses' heads, crashed into these corpses, and the people turned over on their backs.
