Chapter 0445: Death Storm
"It's an enemy soldier! They're going to take the bridge! ”
"That's fast!"
"Is it the Northern Frontier Army?"
……
Listening to the chaotic discussion and exclamation, Jun Sima's heart suddenly rose with a fire of ignorance: "What are you yelling!" Hurry up and form a whole team, the enemy is all cavalry, the number will not be too many, even if General Zhang can't win, plus the backup will kill them! Don't be sharp, don't blame Lao Tzu for being welcome! ”?
There were many veterans in the Xiliang army, and under the command of the overseers, they quickly woke up from the initial surprise, and under the command of the junior officers, they were rearranged into columns, and the elite quality was fully displayed.
But no matter how good the tactical literacy is, it is impossible to regenerate the lost physical strength, and after running a few steps, the soldiers are out of breath, and then, seeing the smoke and dust left by the main force gradually drift away, the smoke and dust on the opposite bank disappear from view at a faster speed.
In the sky ahead, countless reeds were trampled flat, and countless wild birds were startled and flew into the sky with their chirps, like a cloud that would happen.
After a long time, accompanied by the faint sound of shouting and killing, the high-pitched horn sound exploded like a dragon's groan, shaking the small river, which was no more than a few feet wide and no deeper than a person????
"It's a fight...... I wonder who has the upper hand? ”
"The Northern Frontier Army has been fighting fiercely for a day, and it should be evenly divided in terms of physical strength, and we have a lot of ......."
……
Movement could still be heard miles away, and there were at least a thousand people shouting to kill, and it was obvious that the two armies had already moved. With a little uneasiness and a little fear, the soldiers turned their heads again.
"Don't say it, let's save some effort and hurry, look at Wang Sima's face, aren't you afraid of death?" The old junior officer reminded everyone in a low voice.
When the brothers looked back, they saw that Jun Sima was looking straight ahead. His lips trembled slightly, and he looked like he was trembling with anger, and he didn't know which unlucky person he was targeting.
Everyone had a chill down their backs, clenched their weapons, and shrunk their necks to speed up their pace.
The official position of the military commander is not large, but since the chief general, General Zhang, has entrusted him with the responsibility of collecting the defeated soldiers, the military Sima can exercise the order of the chief general and behead anyone who he thinks is cowardly or hesitant in the name of deserters, at this time. But you can't touch his moldy head.
These soldiers are almost twice the size of the young Wang surnamed Jun Sima, but when it comes to force, the ten of them together are no match for each other. Moreover, it was precisely by virtue of his extraordinary bravery that the other party won the trust of the lord Dong Zhuo and promoted him to the rank of military commander. Otherwise, at his age, he would be just an ordinary soldier.
It turned out that after the last battle of Tiger Prison Pass. Dong Zhuo realized that there was a lack of powerful generals in the Xiliang army, and it was far from enough to rely on just one Huaxiong and one Zhang Xiu. So, he ordered the selection of men with superior force in the army. It's just that the effect of this selection is very average. Except for getting this young man surnamed Wang, there was nothing left.
Don't look at this young man surnamed Wang, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his force is extraordinary, and he can hold on to thirty moves without defeat in the hands of Hua Xiong, who is unparalleled in bravery. was valued by the lord Dong Zhuo and gave the name Wang Shuang, which means that he has found a talent comparable to Huaxiong.
Dong Zhuo promoted Wang Shuang from an ordinary soldier to a military commander. Originally, he wanted to keep him by his side, but before the start of this war, he sent him to Zhang Xiu's command, originally wanting Zhang Xiu to point out Wang Shuang's martial arts, who knew that Zhang Xiu didn't like Wang Shuang very much, and kicked him under his uncle Zhang Ji.
In this regard, Dong Zhuo was also very helpless. In the entire Xiliang Army, only a brave person like Zhang Xiu dared not obey Dong Zhuo's orders.
And Wang Shuang was already holding his stomach in his heart because of Zhang Xiu, and now he has encountered such a situation, if he is allowed to sprinkle his anger on these little soldiers, then they will not be able to eat and leave.
The sound of the horn in front of us became louder and louder, more and more urgent, and the sound was terrifying and shocking.
Wang Shuang's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up from his horse, as if he could see the enemy clearly.
In fact, there is no need to look at it, he already has an understanding in his heart, it is the Northern Frontier Army that is coming! Because in today's Jingluo region, except for the Xiliang Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army, it is impossible for a third-party force to appear.
……
"It's really a hussar and a guard iron horseman!" The lieutenant who led the cavalry under Zhang Ji realized the truth earlier than Wang Shuang, because the first horn was sounded at the same time as he and the galloping enemy.
While blowing the horn, he saw a big flag wrapped in smoke and dust, a big flag with the word "Han" in black characters on a red background fluttering high in the middle of the team, and two slightly shorter flags accompanied by the left and right, as if guarding the main general's flag.
In fact, in a sense, those two flags do complement each other with the Chinese character flag, "Hussar General", "Li" The person who bears this name is the most loyal and reliable minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty, the Optimus Pillar.
As a Qiang lieutenant, he also understood what the man on the other side meant to the aliens. Because in the past six years, too many aliens have interpreted the meaning with their lives and blood donations.
Trembling and fear enveloped him at the same time, and the lieutenant clenched the scimitar in his hand, sweating profusely.
"General, the enemy is only 2,000 at most, which is about the same as us!"
The captain of the scout and the captain are of the same clan, and the Qiang cavalry from Xiliang is far superior to the riders of the Central Plains in terms of combat power and reconnaissance ability. You don't need to look at it with your eyes, you can tell the exact number of enemies by just telling from the sound of hooves.
By the time the cavalry suspected of being a hussar guard arrived, Zhang Ji's Xianrui had already passed the dilapidated bridge and completed the formation on the east bank of the river.
Finding that the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Mountains was getting closer and closer to him, and getting detailed information, Captain Qiang Hu naturally had no reason to retreat, he waved his hand violently and took the lead in attacking the enemy.
Cavalry fights against each other, and speed comes first. If you stick to the bridgehead and watch the enemy crash into you, before reinforcements appear, the vanguard cavalry will be crushed by the enemy's horses' hooves.
But both sides pulled up the speed to hedge, and the results were very different. Ordinary training, the equipment of both sides, the quality of the mounts, and the commander's dispatch level will all be the decisive factors in victory or defeat.
In these respects, Captain Qiang Hu was very confident, even when facing the world-famous Hussar Guard.
Although the other party wiped out many alien races, in the eyes of Captain Qianghu, it was just that the Han people were too cunning and used tricks to defeat those barbarians on the grassland. If you really want a knife-to-gun-to-gun battle, it's not certain who will kill the deer.
"Kill, kill!" Captain Qianghu brandished his sword and roared loudly.
Close, close.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had narrowed from five or six hundred steps to two hundred steps.
Suddenly, Captain Qiang Hu felt that something was wrong, the enemy's ranks were getting looser and looser, and the gap between the horses, from about two feet at the beginning, had widened to two zhang, and it continued to increase, wider and wider, more and more sparse, and the gap was bigger than he had imagined.
Cavalry battles, in loose formations? Does the other party know how to use soldiers?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw that the gap suddenly became larger, no, it should be said that the entire queue of the enemy formation was neatly divided into three parts, the two teams on the flanks rushed forward, and the middle one dragged all the way back, like a poisonous scorpion wielding a giant claw.
The tactics of controlling the cavalry and gathering and scattering freely surprised Captain Qianghu first.
However, what surprised him even more was still to come: the exposed Chinese army actually began to slow down!
Slowing down while hedging? The enemy's head must have been trampled by the horse's hooves, or he would have liked to be trampled on himself, otherwise how could he have made such stupid moves one after another?
However, as the two sides got closer and closer, Captain Qianghu's eyes suddenly widened. It wasn't an ordinary cavalryman, but a moving jungle of steel, a big hedgehog! If your own cavalry hits it stupidly, you will definitely be hit to the head and bleed, and you will be bruised all over your body!
"Raise your shield...... No, dial the horse! Completely instinctive, Captain Qiang Hu howled loudly.
Captain Qianghu shouted as he flicked his horse and quickly rushed to the opponent's flank, trying to turn into a crab and avoid the enemy's center.
"Dial the horse, dial the horse......" The speed of the cavalry battle was too fast, and the banner was of little use, and the soldiers shouted in unison, passing on the order of Captain Qianghu.
In an instant, thousands of Qiang cavalry turned around, either following Captain Qiang Hu himself, facing the enemy's left flank, or in a hurry to go against Captain Qianghu.
The technical content of changing formations in the charge is very high, and it is undoubtedly tragic to want to imitate it without practicing it beforehand. Some people judged the wrong direction, some people reacted a little slowly, and they didn't have time to turn their mounts, and they all ended up in the same way, and rushed to the war horse in front of them in a daze, knocking their companions out of the air, and broke a proximal end.
Of course, they themselves were not much stronger, and in the mournful roar of the war horses, they fell with a bang, and the smoke and dust were mixed with blood, like mist.
No one would complain about Captain Qianghu's indiscriminate commands, especially those who rushed to the front row, and the orders given by his own general were quite timely and correct. The Chinese army dragged behind by the enemy did not hold a cavalry spear or a lance, but a strong crossbow!
The crossbow bolt reflected the cold light, revealing a cold murderous aura, and no one would doubt the huge lethality brewing in it.
In order to deal with the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Captain Qiang Hu made sufficient preparations, and the mounted shield he prepared was much more lenient than the usual one, and he also explained a lot. Although it is a wooden shield, the thick cowhide covered on the shield surface turns the wooden shield into a composite shield, and the defense power is greatly increased.
However, the goal of his defense was to mount a bow, not a strong crossbow.
At a distance of about 100 paces, unless you are holding an iron shield or a large oar, nothing can stop the killing of a strong crossbow!
Dealing with the cavalry of the Western Liang Army, which was in chaos, the Northern Xinjiang Army had no intention of leaving its hands at all.
"Collapse, collapse, collapse!" The rapid sound of loose strings sounded rapidly, and the crossbow arrows forged from stainless steel swept the death storm into the ranks of the Xiliang cavalry, turning their already chaotic formation into a pot of porridge. Blood splattered, and along with the rising dust, turned into a pink mist and rose in a curling way.
The two wings of the Northern Frontier Army formed a dense array of sharp arrows, and with the momentum of lightning, they plunged headlong into the red mist.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker. (To be continued.) )
