Chapter 514: Assault Ride

Yu Xi firmly stepped on the copper-covered wooden horseshoe with his feet firmly on the horse's belly, and the reins were controlled in one hand and the spear in the other.

With stirrups, they could do things they couldn't have imagined before on their horses, such as continuous reflexive bursts, such as the "spear sprint" taught by the Siko.

After rushing down the hill, they divided into two parts, one hundred horsemen went to riot the enemy line with arrows, and the remaining three hundred horsemen were divided into three rows, each in units of twenty-five horsemen, forming four wedge-shaped cavalry phalanxes, parallel to each other, forming a straight line of battle. With the addition of stirrups, the light knights were more adept at maneuvering their horses, trotting along the way until they approached the enemy before charging in unison, which saved horsepower.

Yu Xi calculated the location, and when he could see the figure in the distance, he shouted: "Two hundred steps have arrived, the spear is ready!" "Start sprinting at the same time.

"Ahhh

His auxiliaries sounded their horns again, and when the horses trotted forward, their spears were held vertically, but when they began to speed up, they flattened their spears and became flat.

The cavalrymen clenched their spears firmly and clamped them with their arms, so that the tips of the spears pointed flat! Aiming at the back of those patriots and Song people who were looking at the galloping horses dumbfounded, they rushed straight over!

Sensing the danger, the already loose and chaotic guards and the Song rebels under the push of the Le soldiers turned around and hurried to deal with the sudden onslaught. But it's too late to defend, the opponent is too fast, like a hurricane, like lightning! Rolling horseshoe and sharp spear blades are just around the corner!

"Kill!"

In the blink of an eye, the galloping cavalry array crashed into the enemy line one after another, under the bonus of horse speed. Flat spears pierce through shields and pierce armor. It was nailed into the bodies of the first row of soldiers, and there was a dull sound of bronze and flesh colliding everywhere. Everywhere there were corpses flying under the impact of horses' hooves and blades.

How should this impact be described? It's enough to knock a hole in the wall!

Because Yu Xi wants to command and shout, he is in the third row of the impact sequence.

He firmly remembered the essence of the cavalry charge, if he could not defeat the enemy formation with a single charge, the front team would cross, and the second team would charge again, and if it could not enter again, the rear team would be the same!

There was a mess ahead, with fallen horses and dead people everywhere. He searched for a target, locked onto a low-ranking officer in armor. It was only at the last moment that the spear was flattened, piercing the chest of the studded leather armor and lifting the man high off the ground, the shaft of which snapped off.

"Wan Sheng!"

Excited, he threw away his broken spear and drew a new short-handed soldier for the assaults: the Iron Hammer! The columnar part cast with iron was reduced, and the iron of the wooden handle was lengthened.

That's right, from this day on, they will be in addition to archers. There's a new branch of the class: the Stormtroopers!

"Last time in Zhaoqiu, we rushed nearly 100 miles overnight, and people were tired and tired, so the effect was not good. Today is different, we should be the battlefield winners and losers of a hundred horses and a thousand horses. It's no longer a pure auxiliary! ”

……

In these two rounds of assault, the 300 cavalry reimbursed more than 200 enemy soldiers in an instant. There were as many wounds as the dead, and the enemy front was suddenly broken through a huge gap from the side!

Of course. They also paid the price of dozens of horses......

But for a manager, it's definitely worth it to exchange this mere loss for a fighter!

Chen Dingguo was waiting for this moment, he encouraged the Le clan soldiers to speed up, the enemy's left flank defense line was originally a leaky earth dam, under the command of Gongzichen barely supported, but suddenly from the rear was knocked open a big hole, so the Le clan soldiers like a surging flood, breaking the dam in.

The Song rebels were still a little dazed, and the guards were like ants watered by boiling water, and began to flee desperately. The front collapsed, and only the banner of Song Guogongchen was constantly gathering and routing, forcing them to fight again.

Yu Xi remembered the assault cavalry tactics explained by Zhao Wuxian, and at the beginning of the confrontation, he used the cavalry to lightly break through the enemy formation, and if he could not rush, he immediately withdrew and dismounted to cooperate with the friendly infantry shooting, and after disrupting the enemy formation, he got on his horse and rushed again.

But now that a single impact can crush the enemy's formation, no matter how outnumbered, you can drive straight in!

The defeat is like a mountain, although the enemy is 100,000, he cannot support it!

An arrow flew past his face, unable to tell whether it was his own or the enemy's, and the riders sped around him, their iron hammers smashing at every enemy that passed.

Zhao Xiaosikou had already customized weapons for the cavalry, and initially planned to use the Wu hook that was popular in the land of Wu Yue, and also drew another "scimitar" similar to the Wu hook. But the bronze cast weapon can't be made too long, and in the rapid impact of the chopping opponent, three times out of ten times the weapon will break, this price is too great, in desperation, I had to hit the idea to Taoqiu Nissan more than 100 catties of iron......

The iron of Taoqiu has met the spring ploughing and summer cropping, and after the autumn, it began to make some rough iron weapons, mainly the hammer and hammer, which only need to be cast, and the weight is enough in the hand, relying on the galloping horse speed to aim at the enemy's vital point to hammer, tsk, that taste......

But the losses of the cavalry were not small, and one of Yu Xi's subordinates ran past him on horseback, lying limply on the horse's neck, and a spear was stuck in the belly and pierced out from behind. Although the man was hopeless, when Yu Xi saw an enemy officer running over to grab the reins of the horse, his head was hot, and he charged again, knocking his leather helmet.

Next, Yu Xi's target is no longer those small characters who are holding their heads and running around, they have gone deep in the rout, looking at the chariot in front of them, there is a pale gentleman standing on the chariot, with beautiful armor and carved bird patterns, but I don't know if it is because of heat or despair, the bronze crest is held in his hand, not on his head.

Yu Xi's first thought was "why is that ornament so similar to the Zhao flag", and the second thought was "The spear has no eyes on the battlefield, why does he have to hold it in his hand?" ”

So he went on, struck down an archer on his way, broke his hand that he was about to shoot, and ran to the chariot around the self-careless squires.

It happened suddenly, and everyone saw a red light rushing in, and then an even more brilliant red - blood splattered everywhere.

Yu Xi's big red horse man stood up, and he used all his strength. Coupled with the horse's inertia, he picked up the iron and knocked it into the other person's face. Smash his head to the point of a burst of brains!

"Childe!"

The impact of the collision paralyzed Yu Xi's shoulder, and he swung the fatal blow. With the inertia of the horse, he rushed forward more than ten steps, but then he vaguely heard all the people around him shouting. Turning back, a group of people gathered in front of the body of the deceased and wept bitterly, the eldest son and the eldest son kept screaming, and then wanted to come and kill him but was blocked by the rout, so he could only look at this side with hatred a few times, and broke a few arrows to swear that he would not avenge himself and not be a man, and then quickly evacuated.

They walked in such a hurry that even the banner of the enemy's left flank had been forgotten on the muddy ground, and those who surrounded it had to flee. Either death.

"It's amazing, I seem to have killed a big man......" Yu Xi was secretly happy in his heart, looking at the Le soldiers who surrounded him, it only took less than two moments for them to win the victory on the right flank!

……

As the banner of his left flank fell, You Su's heart seemed to be slammed by a spear.

"Unexpectedly...... The rout went so fast. ”

He was not very good on his legs and feet when he was getting older, and he was supposed to sit and command, but he stood up suddenly, and his fingertips were trembling slightly.

Out of the blue. Unprepared, You Su heard that Sun Wuzi of the Southern Wu State was good at this, and he often surprised his opponents in his usual battles, but who expected that today he was caught off guard by the cavalry that suddenly exploded.

For him, who prides himself on being a famous general. Originally, everything was being planned, but it was killed by the opponent's Jedi, which is undoubtedly the most shameful thing.

"I knew it was so. The left flank should be strengthened, and when the cavalry first appeared, some chariots should be sent to block it...... "even if it can't be stopped." It can also achieve the goal of containment, and the left wing will not be crushed in one blow.

But at this point it is too late to regret it. Not only the guards, but even the rebels of the Song State Office as insurance were also in a mess, desperately retreating backwards, and I don't know what happened to Gongzichen, whether he was dead, injured, or captured?

Calm down, calm down!

You Su rubbed his temples, the big hole in the rout on the left flank could no longer be filled, and he could only count on the more than 1,000 reserves on this side to withstand several waves of attacks and prevent the Le soldiers from closing in this direction, and the rest were counting on the other two directions!

The position of the Chinese army has achieved gratifying results, the elite of the Cao army in armor has completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining Xiang soldiers are still barely supporting, and it only takes less than half a moment to be able to be penetrated by the Yuli array. But what is surprising is that the miscellaneous soldiers of Cao Guo, who were crowded behind them, had no intention of retreating, as if they were worried about something behind them, the Overseer? Or is it a trap set by Zhao Wuxian? This made You Su vigilant, but now he can only let the Chinese army continue to advance hard.

The right flank close to the grass was disappointing, and Xiao Yi's soldiers were very stubborn to launch one charge after another, but they could not impulse half a step under the rock-like defense of the Zhao clan's warriors......

The army, which was almost completely armored and immobile like a mountain, made You Su admire the opponent's training method for the first time in his life.

"But no matter how hard the stone is, there are gaps, and no matter how strong the army is, there are weaknesses."

It can be seen that the Zhao soldiers in the back row are far inferior to the front row, and there may be many new soldiers among them who have not fought a hard battle, and they will not be too resolute when they leave the Lu State Expedition here......

You Su seemed to see that the rock was broken by himself with a copper hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other!

He looked up at the sun, and when he was approaching, the winner and loser he had arranged should have arrived!

The reason why You Su thought that Zhao Wuxian had chosen the wrong battlefield was because this Meng Zhucaoze was not in the territory of Le Daxin and the Four Princes, nor was it in the territory of Sicheng Le and Xiang, and neither side was considered home. It's not easy to find a local, and even fewer are familiar with the terrain, but an old leader in Gongzichen's army pointed out that there is a trail in the grass that is flooded by the lake during the rainy season and exposed in late autumn and winter......

And You Su's subordinates happen to have a force that is good at grass combat!

More than ten years ago, he exterminated Zheng Guo's robbers, and it became his fiefdom, and he placed some of the surrendered robbers, savages, and light heroes on the edge of the swamp, and had nothing to do with fishing and hunting, and he was also in the army this time.

So You Su came up with a plan, and made a posture to confront Zhao Wuxian head-on, but asked the hundreds of his subordinates to follow the old soldier to find the hidden path in the lake. It is said that the road is covered with silt, surrounded by withered yellow reeds, and it is impossible to see the inside clearly on the shore, which is a wonderful sneak attack road!

Zheng Ren is good at using tricks, but You Su's tactics today are unusually "positive", because his strange soldiers have already set off with stars and moons.

The rout of the left wing? It's okay, it's just that the gecko has a broken tail, so it should be regarded as showing weakness to the enemy, and being an abandoned son when Wei and Gongzichen are outcasts. Today's winner or loser still has to rely on the moment when he made a detour to launch a sneak attack on Zhao Bing! The Chinese army defeated the enemy, and then turned back and attacked the Zhao soldiers on the right flank, and victory was expected!

But, half a moment has passed since the agreed time, why haven't they shown up yet?

Just as You Su was anxiously waiting for his strange soldiers, it was Xiao Yi's soldiers who were hundreds of steps behind, and people covered in blood and mud came out of the dry reeds two people high, and they bent their waists and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Then out of the reeds came their leader, a tall man with eyes as bright as stars, also covered in mud and blood, with a short sword in his hand, and two jaw-dropping heads hanging from his waist.

"Who would have expected that he would meet Zheng Guo's peers here, but it's a pity that Naigong is an expert in fighting Caozawa and wants to fight with me?"

Liu Xia wiped mud on his face, looked up at the sun, and grinned with white teeth, like a wolf that had not eaten enough.

"Dashan, it's just the time agreed with Zhao Zitai, I'm not late!" (To be continued.) )
