363.Chapter 363

"Boom!"

The simple spear array, facing the iron-clad war horses and cavalry, the wooden spears in their hands were actually broken by the powerful impact of the cavalry. The heavy cavalry in the camp relied on a pair of stirrups, and only a dozen or so people were stabbed off their horses with spears.

The heavily armed knights fell off their horses, and their fate can be imagined. Under the iron hooves of war horses, the fate of these knights was undoubtedly tragic.

Because he is covered in heavy armor, his flexibility is extremely poor. Falling off their horses also announced their death.

"Kill!"

The knights of the hoplites burst into cheers in unison and rode on a rampage on their horses. For a time, flesh and blood flew on the battlefield.

Even if the elite Xiliang army, in the face of the charge of heavy cavalry, they would definitely not be able to resist head-on with flesh and blood.

Under the trampling of the war horses and the cold killing of the knights on the horses, one after another Xiliang soldiers were either trampled to death by the war horses, or pierced by the riding spears and turned into broken corpses.

And those soldiers who escaped with their lives were terrified. In their hearts, there is already timidity. The two armies fought, and an army that was taken in momentum was doomed to defeat.

Five hundred heavily armed cavalry, since they have broken through the formation of the Xiliang army, they are naturally tigers into the flock. They were like a sharp blade, directly chiseling the entire Xiliang army into a halve.

The heavy cavalry that charged past turned their horses' heads again and continued to charge into the Xiliang army.

Li Li saw that he was being torn apart as a soldier of Xiliang who relied on him, and he was immediately distressed. In addition to being distressed, he still shouted loudly: "Don't panic, don't panic!" The thief army has only a few hundred men, and if we kill them, we will be victorious. ”

"Boom!"

Once again, even if there were only five hundred heavily armed cavalry, it was unstoppable.

The soldiers of Xiliang plucked up their courage and attacked the five hundred men with broadswords, spears, bows and arrows. However, their equipment is too hard, and these weapons cannot break through the defenses at all.

Some Xiliang soldiers wanted to attack those heavily armed cavalry, and the horses and horses were not protected.

However, the knights on the war horses deliberately protected their war horses, but whenever a Xiliang soldier approached, they would be pierced through the body by their guns.

Moreover, although these hoplites have a poor ability to run long distances, they are not slow to charge short distances. Even if some clever Xiliang soldiers want to attack the legs of the war horse, the opportunity is fleeting.

Five hundred heavily armed cavalry rushed back and forth on the battlefield three times in this way. Just when these heavily armed cavalry scuttled through the position of the Xiliang Army for the third time, they no longer turned back to kill, but began to leave the battlefield.

Although the heavy cavalry has a strong impact, their ability to continue fighting is not very strong.

Because the horses carry knights with full body iron armor, as well as the iron armor they wear, these weights together are a very big burden for the war horses.

The five hundred heavily armed cavalry who rushed back and forth three times, the war horses under their crotches, were already a little weak. If you don't leave the battlefield again, I'm afraid the horses will run out of strength.

Although the Xiliang army was the elite of a hundred battles, in the face of the heavy cavalry who could not be cut and killed, they suddenly did not have the courage to continue fighting.

Just when the Xiliang army was disheartened, they saw that the five hundred heavily armored cavalry had already left the battlefield. When they saw this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Gao Shun and Gong Du had already taken a thousand foot soldiers in the camp and killed them in a neat pace.

This time, the soldiers who took the initiative to attack the trapping camp were completely different from the weapons they used when defending.

When they were trapped, they abandoned the clumsy big iron shield, and instead took long knives, spears, and small round shields, combined into a triangular formation, and entered the formation of the Xiliang army. In the middle of the triangular formation, there were some spearmen with two-meter long spears.

A thousand traps marched forward with neat and suppressed steps.

"Trapped! Trapped! ”

In the middle of the triangular formation, the pikemen waved their weapons and shouted in unison.

"Ho-ho! Ho ho! ”

The round shield soldiers in advance, they struck their shields with their weapons, and there was a neat sound. But from the mouths of these people came a cry like that of a wild beast.

"Trapped! Trapped! ”

"Ho-ho! Ho ho! ”

The neat shout, the howl like a beast, suddenly exuded a powerful momentum. Even if the elite is like the Xiliang soldiers, they are also shocked.

One of the lieutenant generals beside Li Li hurriedly said to Li Li: "My lord, five hundred cavalry trapped in the camp are already so powerful that they have no power to fight back. ”

"Now a thousand of them have rushed over, such elite equipment, such a neat formation, it is really rare in the world."

"I'm waiting now, there are less than 2,000 soldiers and horses left, and there are still rebels eyeing at us. If the battle continues, we will be defeated, and I ask the lord to order the withdrawal of troops! ”

Li Li glared at the man fiercely, and said angrily: "How can this thousand foot soldiers compare to those five hundred heavily armored cavalry? ”

"What's more, my brother Li Xian has already led 10,000 horses to respond. As long as we block the offensive of the thief army, when my brother and the army arrive, we can break the thief army. ”

Li Li didn't listen to what the general said, and insisted on taking the Xiliang soldiers who had lost their momentum to attack the trapped camp.

Pulling out the sword at his waist, Li Li shouted sharply: "You and the others are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, how can you be afraid of these thieves in the state?" I should step forward in person, and you must all rush to kill, and you must not be cowardly! ”

After speaking, Li Li picked up the spear in his hand and rushed to the trapping camp first.

"Kill!"

The lieutenant general behind Li Li was helpless, so he had to shout loudly and rush forward with his subordinates.

"Kill!"

The Xiliang soldiers were also in good spirits, shouted loudly, and followed Li Li forward to kill.

I have to say that Li Li's words also played a certain role.

As a world-famous strong soldier, the Xiliang Army has its own pride. Even if they are a little brutal and unkind, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is beyond doubt.

Even though they had just been killed three times by 500 heavy cavalry, they still did not completely lose their courage.

Li Li's personal practice made these Xiliang soldiers have the courage again.

"Kill!"

Looking at the rushing Xiliang Army, Gao Shun shouted violently.

The two armies intersected, like a meat grinder, and suddenly the stumps and broken arms fluttered, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

"How is that possible?"

Li Li looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, only to see that the Xiliang army that was fighting with the foot soldiers of the trapped camp was like helpless sheep, ruthlessly slaughtered by the trapped camp.

On the other hand, on the side of the camp, the round shield soldiers cooperated tacitly and completely protected the spearmen behind them.

Even though these round shields were too small, some of the Xiliang soldiers were still able to slash and kill the trapped camp. But the heavily armored soldiers of the trap camp have long been trained how to protect their vital points from attack on the battlefield.

The weapons of those Xiliang Army slashed into the iron armor on the trapped camp, and they couldn't hurt them at all.

Even if the Xiliang soldiers with infinite strength smashed their weapons on the bodies of the soldiers in the trapped camp, they would be unloaded with a lot of strength by those special fish scale iron armor.

The soldiers in the trap camp, protected by iron armor and round shields, did not suffer much damage at all. However, the Xiliang soldiers under Li Li suffered heavy casualties.

Don't think that the defense of the trapped faction is strong, and deliberately ignore their attack power. Since this unit can be given the title of 'trapped', it can be seen how powerful their ability to attack fortifications is.

The confrontation between the two armies was tight, and after half a cup of tea, the Xiliang army had already lost hundreds of people.

Compared to the powerful charging ability of the heavy cavalry, the lethality of the trapping infantry is more powerful. Because, although heavily armed, their ability to charge is unmatched.

However, their mobility and flexibility are much worse.

The Xiliang army, which was attacked by heavy cavalry, was scattered in formation. There were many non-commissioned soldiers who could survive as long as they escaped from the charging route of the hoplites.

However, the trapping soldiers who lined up in formation were like a meat grinder, rampage on the battlefield.

With Gao Shun's command, even if they advance forward and backward, left and right, they can maintain a neat formation.

Li Li looked at the defeated Xiliang army, and said with some despair: "How can there be such an army in the world? ”

Seeing that the Xiliang army had been defeated on all fronts, he shouted loudly with a hideous face: "Impossible! No way! It's impossible! ”

Li Li would not believe the fact that his army of 10,000 was defeated by 1,500 men.

"Lord, our army has been defeated, if we don't leave early, I'm afraid that in a while, the thief army will be killed!"

Li Li came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, retreat quickly!" ”

In the final analysis, Li Li is also a person who is afraid of death. No one can be unafraid of death.

Those Xiliang troops had long wished that Li Li would order a retreat. After they heard the order, they immediately led people to escort Li Li and rushed out.

Seeing the rout of the Xiliang army, Gao Shun's face finally showed a smile, and he said to a flag-bearer beside him: "Wave the big flag and order the light cavalry to attack!" ”

Hearing the order, the flag bearer began to wave the flag in his hand and notify Yang Feng not far away.

When Yang Feng saw the rout of the Xiliang army, he couldn't bear it for a long time and wanted to lead the troops to chase and kill. When he saw the flag fluttering, he immediately shouted: "All the army, kill the enemy with me!" ”

The five hundred light cavalry, all of whom shouted, followed Yang Feng and rushed forward.

The blood-stained iron armor of these soldiers added a murderous aura to them.

These five hundred men are the five hundred heavy cavalry.

After they left the battlefield, they changed into horses without heavy armor, and waited on the sidelines, ready to attack at any time.

Beside him, the nearly 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers who had defected also stared at the battlefield in amazement.

They didn't expect that the extremely powerful Xiliang Army would be so vulnerable in front of the trapped camp.

When these people were shocked, they suddenly saw Gong Du leading more than a dozen people forward, and shouted to them: "The anti-thief Li Li has fled, if you want to make a war exploit, you can lead the troops to pursue." ”
