Chapter 406 Bloody Battle
"Order the cavalry to be the pioneers to attack Liu Ye's Chinese army and open up the situation for the Chinese army!"
Before the two armies formally contacted, Xu He had already issued an order to the cavalry in the army. These days, Xu He was harassed by Ma Chao and Pound, and he was already very angry, so this time he wanted to Send the newly formed cavalry to give Liu Ye a dismount.
"kill!"
When the two thousand yellow turban cavalry heard the order, they immediately gathered into a group and rushed forward together. Although the two thousand cavalry had just been formed, the eight thousand horseshoes knocked on the ground was quite shocking.
However, the 12,000 Han soldiers had no fear when facing the yellow turban cavalrymen wielding their sabers, and even looked quite calm.
You must know that there are quite a lot of Xiliang cavalry in the army of the Han army, and the infantry of the Han army can see the Xiliang cavalry every day, witnessing the majesty and majesty of the Xiliang cavalry breaking through the formation with their own eyes. Fear.
But Liu Ye didn't personally command, but turned to look at Yu Jin beside him.
"Wen Ze, let you take command of this battle."
Yu Jin has followed Liu Ye since he was in Qingzhou, and there were less than a thousand people around him. He has experienced many battles so far, but his expression is still very calm, and he calmly accepted the command.
"Swords and shields line up, crossbowmen prepare!"
boom!
A whole row of large shields stands on the ground, forming a solid shield wall, and behind the sword and shield hands is a row of crossbowmen with bows and arrows.
Among the crossbowmen, there are step archers, and there are also pouting crossbowmen lying on the ground with their feet open. Only the soldiers of the Han army are lying on the ground, with their feet on the huge pouting crossbow, and their hands They grabbed the bowstring of the Pouting Crossbow together and pulled the Pouting Crossbow away with all their strength. The bowstring was pulled up slowly, and the obscure sound contained great power.
The sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, and the faces of the yellow turban pawns became more and more obvious, while Yu Jin's expression was as firm as a rock, and remained unchanged.
Two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps. Yu Jin calculated silently in his heart, and the five fingers holding the handle of the knife became tighter and tighter.
One hundred and fifty steps!
"shooting!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The tightly stretched bowstring was released at this moment, and huge kinetic energy was released. Although the crossbowman was behind the step archer, the strength of the crossbow was even stronger, and it was as thick as a finger. The crossbow arrow suddenly drew a trace in the air, passed the arrow, and shot fiercely at the yellow scarf cavalry pawn.
boom!
I saw a crossbow arrow as thick as a finger descending from the sky, carrying a huge force and piercing fiercely into the shoulder of a yellow turban cavalry soldier. The huge force attached to the crossbow arrow immediately caused the person who shot it to raise his head and back, and turned his back on his back.
The strength attached to the crossbow arrows was so great that even the horse hissed and fell to the ground. The yellow turban bandit cavalry behind them couldn't dodge in time, so they slammed into them directly, and they were in a mess one after the other.
The crossbow arrows of the crossbow are very long, and some of them even penetrated the front breastplate of the first yellow turban thief, got out from behind him, and shot into the body of the second yellow turban thief, killing two birds with one stone.
And the arrows that followed were not to be outdone. A burst of brisk and swift arrows was like a rainstorm, and hundreds of yellow turban cavalry were shot into a hornet's nest.
After firing two rounds of arrows in a row, nearly half of the two thousand yellow turban cavalrymen were killed or injured. The remaining nearly thousand yellow turban cavalry braved the rain of guns and arrows, and finally came to the front of the Han army formation, ready to kill.
However.
"Pikemen step forward."
"Push!"
Seeing that the saber in his hand had already been raised, it was about to be swung to the sword and shield hand, and when it was placed on the shield, the spear that was more than one foot long stabbed out suddenly.
One zhang is three meters three, and the spears of the spearmen are all close to four meters long, and Zhang Fei's eight-foot snake spear is even more impressive. It is a full one zhang eight feet, which is six meters long. How did Fei wield this six-meter spear.
However, the four-meter spear was also terrifying enough. It stretched forward suddenly, not like a spearman stabbing, but a yellow-turban thief cavalry came to the door to die, and hit the spear unexpectedly.
Pooh!
The yellow turban cavalry pawns directly rammed into it, and the yellow turban cavalrymen in the back row couldn't stop the car, so they also rammed into it. Some spears pierced through three yellow turban cavalrymen in one go. Fortunately, the horses were pierced through, and the unlucky ones were pierced into lamb kebabs.
"Abandon the spear, let's fight with sword and axe!" Yu Jin shouted.
The spearmen immediately let go of the spears in their hands as if they were throwing away a bag, and a gap was opened in the shield wall. Hundreds of heavy infantry in heavy armor and armed with long knives and axes rushed out.
The yellow turban cavalry were pierced by spears and could not move freely. At most, they were sitting on horseback and wielding sabers.
Click!
The heavy knife and ax swung out suddenly, carrying a majestic wind, and slammed on the horse's leg bone.
Roar!
The bone was chopped off by the knife and axe, and the war horse immediately hissed and fell to the ground. The swordsman chopped off the horse's legs and the enemy's soldiers. Nearly a thousand yellow turban cavalry were first pierced by spears, and then slaughtered by the swordsman, and they were quickly lost.
"Enter the battle!"
After hundreds of knives and axemen slashed and killed for a while, no matter whether it was the yellow turban thief cavalry or the war horse, they were basically killed. After hearing Yu Jin's order, they turned around and entered the battle.
In front of the Han army formation, there were yellow scarf thieves and war horse corpses all over the place. The corpses that had just died seemed to be stained with a trace of vitality. The horse blood gathered in one place, and a bloody smell rose immediately.
The cavalry unit, which Xu He placed high hopes on, even failed to break through the front of the Han army.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu He was stunned.
As Liu Ye's defeated general, Xu He has been hiding in the mountains for the past few years. He often thinks about Liu Ye's tactics, and found that Liu Ye's tactics are basically three axes. The army concealed the killing and expanded the results of the battle.
Therefore, Xu He deliberately trained cavalry, but the gap between the enemy and ourselves is too big, right?
Xu He gritted his teeth with hatred, and squeezed out a sound from between his teeth.
"Zhou Su, swing your troops to attack, attack from the left, middle and right, don't hold back!"
"Promise!" Zhou Su also knew that this battle was a matter of life and death, so he personally supervised the formation with a knife: "The three armies obey the order, encircle and attack, and defeat the enemy!"
The 30,000 yellow-turban thieves who were full and full of food and drink gave a loud shout, and the soldiers divided into three groups to attack.
