Chapter 755 The situation suddenly changed

The iron cavalry swept down the sky with the blizzard covering the sky and rushed down with the sound of the sky falling and cracking the earth. At a certain moment, it rushed out of the wind and snow and entered the eyes of the soldiers of the Great Wei.

The iron cavalry was crazily like black clouds, and the soldiers reflected the cold light of frightening, almost looking to reflect the cold sky, and 20,000 Western Liang cavalry came like a tide.

The soldiers of the three armies were so nervous that they subconsciously held the swords and guns in their hands, and their spirits were concentrated to the peak.

Even the most elite soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty were moved when they saw the world-famous Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

In the eyes of Tao Shang, there was only endless murderous intent and fierce confidence.

He had no doubt at all. He wanted to destroy the world-famous Western Liang Iron Cavalry and destroy Cao Cao's last reliance on this battlefield today.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was approaching, Tao Shang slowly raised the sword in his hand and said sternly: "The soldiers of the Great Wei, prepare to face the enemy!"

Invincible?

4000

?The emperor, this simple words instantly dispelled a trace of fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Twenty thousand soldiers immediately united in the heart, with only the surging blood in their eyes.

The 20,000 infantry and cavalry formation was still unmoved, proudly facing the enemy cavalry that was approaching.

In front, the enemy cavalry had reached about a mile away. Ma Chao, with a silver spear and a white horse, stood proudly with a spear. Leng Jue's crazy eyes shot at the Wei formation with disdain.

When he saw the imperial flag with "Wei", he suddenly sneered a arrogant sneer on the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: "Tao Thief, you are there too, very well, I, Ma Chao, thank you for giving this extraordinary skill to you."

Ma Chao was extremely proud. Yan Yan, who was not far away, had a fierce flame of revenge on his old face, and his old face was distorted and deformed.

"Tao Thief, today I, Yan Yan, have killed you with my own hands, avenge my old master, and avenge Zhang Ren..." This veteran general in Shu gritted his teeth and widened his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry had been galloping nearly five hundred steps away, and Ma Chao's silver spear crossed and stopped the army's advance.

The enemy and our army were more than 500 steps apart, forming a confrontation.

The Wei army had more than 20,000 people, and the Qin army had also 20,000 people, but there were 20,000 cavalry. On the surface, the Qin army had an advantage.

As soon as the army stopped, Pang De came on a horse and bowed: "General Meng Qi, De is willing to lead the front army to attack and break through the enemy's formation in one fell swoop."

Ma Chao did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved his gun and shouted: "Okay, I will lead you to 10,000 cavalry to attack head-on, and let me break through the enemy formation in one fell swoop, so that the pottery thieves can see the power of my Xiliang cavalry."

Although Ma Chao was confident and crazy, he still remained calm and did not breathe a sigh of relief to all the remaining 10,000 cavalrymen in charge.

"It's time for De to go, General Meng Qi will see how I defeat the enemy!" Pang De bowed his hand with a sigh, rode his horse and headed straight for the front army.

At this time, Yan Yan, who was originally eager to take revenge, calmed down and reminded him: "General Ma, we have not yet discovered whether the pottery thief brought the heavy rain crossbow legion, and he attacked rashly when the enemy was unknown. I'm afraid it's a bit unsafe."

Hearing Yan Yan was so afraid of Tao Shang, Ma Chao was dissatisfied. He glanced at him coldly and snorted coldly: "I said to Mr. Yan, you are not defeated by the pottery thief repeatedly. You are afraid of being beaten by him. You have caused a psychological shadow. You think you are not the opponent of the pottery thief, and I, Ma Chao, are not the opponent of the pottery thief!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Chao's arrogant personality was undoubtedly revealed, and he did not hide his contempt for Yan Yan. He suddenly felt unhappy when Yan Yan's face turned black.

However, although Yan Yan was dissatisfied with Ma Chao's sarcasm, he was helpless that he was the commander of the three armies and Cao Cao's beloved general. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not dare to express anything.

Yan Yan had to forcefully press his anger and reminded him with great thought: "I have been defeated by the pottery thief repeatedly, so I know that the pottery thief is very powerful. I know that General Ma is great, but you have never fought with the pottery thief after all. I don't know how powerful this person is. I advise General Ma not to underestimate the pottery thief too much."

Ma Chao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Aren't you just afraid of the heavy rain crossbows of the pottery thieves? I will ask you to see today, how did my Xiliang Iron Cavalry call his heavy rain crossbows useless?"

Ma Chao's bold words were so crazy that he didn't even take the heavy rain crossbow seriously, as if he had already solved the problem. This made Yan Yan unhappy and suspicious again.

At this point, Yan Yan couldn't say anything else, so he had to shut up and see if Ma Chao was bragging or whether he was really capable.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-

In the Qin army formation, the sound of the trumpet of attack sounded solemnly.

At the front military headquarters, Pang De gave an order, ten thousand Xiliang Iron Army slowly emerged from the formation and formed nine large and small iron formations, like a giant steel beast, and began to move towards the Wei army opposite.

Tao Shang's eagle's eyes were like ice, passing through the snow fog and flying dust, and the changes in the enemy formation were all in sight. His sword eyebrows suddenly condensed and he murmured: "Zhang Yi's information is indeed correct. The iron cavalry of the Ma family is indeed unique..."

In the front direction, the approaching Qin army cavalry did not accelerate and run like other cavalrymen, trying to break through the Wei army's front with the advantages of speed and impact.

What surprised the Wei army even more was that this Western Liang cavalry did not charge with long spears and halberds like other cavalrymen, but were all holding large and thick shields half a man tall, forming a dense tortoise shell formation, and slowly advancing like a moving fortress.

"The cavalry actually formed a shield formation. What kind of formation is this?" Luo Cheng beside him blurted out.

Huo Qubing also looked strange and said in surprise: "I have never seen the cavalry advance so slowly, and even formed a shield formation to advance. This Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really..."

Huo Qubing and Luo Chengshang were still surprised. How could the 20,000 Wei infantry and cavalry soldiers on the left and right be surprised?

They were already ready to deal with the frontal attacks of the enemy cavalry, but they did not expect that the enemy cavalry would not play according to the routine and would advance like infantry like infantry.

Twenty thousand Wei soldiers were confused when they saw this scene.

Just under the 20,000 pairs of surprised eyes, the 10,000 tortoise shell cavalry formation led by Pang De slowly rushed forward with a loud bang in the sky. In a blink of an eye, it approached nearly two hundred steps to the Wei army.

This distance has reached the range of the Wei army's powerful crossbow.

The enemy has a shield formation. Although the fire speed of the heavy rain crossbow is fast, its penetration is not good. Obviously, it cannot do anything to the enemy. This is also the reason why the pottery merchant did not carry the heavy rain crossbow.

However, in order to assist Yingbu in defending Puzan, the pottery merchant had transferred more than 2,000 Pojun crossbow camps, and now it is the place where this crossbow army is used.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry had entered the range, the Taoist merchant did not hesitate at all and waved his sword and shouted: "Pojun crossbowman, shoot me to death!"

The order was passed down, and after the front army's gun and shield hands, the two thousand Pojun crossbow camp immediately pulled the mechanical gua.

Whoosh swish swish swish-

The sound of tearing through the air suddenly burst into pieces, and more than two thousand crossbow arrows with amazing penetration rose into the air and rushed straight to the enemy formation.

The arrow rain fell as it hit and rushed in an instant.

The next second, all the Wei soldiers changed their colors in shock.

The two thousand sharp arrows shot into the enemy's large shields and were actually bounced away, unable to penetrate the enemy's large shields at all.

"What's going on? Even the Pojun crossbow arrows cannot penetrate the enemy's big shield?" Huo Qubing frowned, and his eyes became even more strange.

The soldiers of the Wei army obviously did not know that the large shield used by Ma Chao's iron cavalry legion was extremely thick, with thick wood in the middle, two layers of cowhide on the outside, and thin layers of iron on the inner layer.

Such a strong shield can withstand the heavy blows of the three-stone crossbow and can be called the most powerful shield in the world.

Such a shield is also quite expensive. It was built by the Ma clan's wealth that had been plundered in Xiliang for many years, and only the Ma family's legion owned the entire world.

After the Ma clan surrendered to Cao Cao, this cavalry corps equipped with the world's most powerful shield also became an elite army under Cao Cao. In the war when Cao Cao pacified Guanlong, this corps played a huge role.

It was precisely because of this gorgeous shield cavalry army that Ma Chao dared to come and take back Pubanjin and ignored the heavy rain crossbow of the Wei army.

"Is even the Pojun crossbow arrows really invalid..." A trace of disgust flowed into Tao Shangying's eyes.

With a slight look, the Tao merchant immediately ordered Yingbu's infantry army to prepare for the frontal impact of the enemy cavalry.

The crossbow arrows were ineffective, and Huo Qubing and Luo Cheng's cavalry legion had to protect both wings. In this case, the Yingbu Gun and Shield Infantry Legion could only carry the impact of the enemy cavalry head-on.

The Central Military Office ordered the flag to shake like the wind and issued an order.

Seeing the signal, Ying Bu immediately rushed straight to the front army to suppress it, and ordered the big shield hand to stabilize the position. The spear and halberd hand held the weapons in his hand tightly, preparing to tie the enemy cavalry that rushed up into meat skewers.

In Ying Bu's view, even if the Qin cavalry had a large shield, the cavalry was ultimately a cavalry. The large shield could only resist the attack of the arrows of his own army, and would eventually break the formation and attack.

At that time, no matter how strong your shield is, it will be useless. You can only attack with your flesh and blood. At that time, you will be pricked into a hedgehog by my dense spears and halberds.

When the Wei soldiers were ordered, they all held their guns and halberds tightly, held their shields, and concentrated on waiting for the enemy's attack.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the enemy cavalry army was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye it had been nearly thirty steps.

This is already a very close distance. Even the infantry can rush up within a few seconds. Unexpectedly, the Qin cavalry still formed a tortoise shell formation and never cracked the formation and charged forward.

The soldiers of the Wei army began to be anxious and began to wonder. They were completely puzzled by the abnormal actions of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which disturbed the morale of the army.

Just when the Wei army soldiers were suspicious and uneasy, Pang De's face sneered on his face in the enemy cavalry formation and shouted: "Tortoise shell formation, crack formation, spear and spear cavalry, attack!"

The order was passed down, and the sound of the trumpet suddenly changed from loud to rapid in the enemy formation.

The Qin army's tortoise shell formations of all sizes heard the order and suddenly cracked a series of gaps. Thousands of light cavalry rushed out of the gap and headed straight for the Wei army's infantry formation.

"Are you going to break the formation and impact? As expected, huh..." Ying Bu hummed disdainfully, then shouted loudly, and ordered the gun and shield hands to steadily hold their feet and fight with all their strength to face the enemy's cavalry's impact. He should not take a step back.

Ying Bu was very confident. In his opinion, these enemy cavalry that suddenly rushed out were just light cavalry. Without the protection of heavy armor and the speed bonus of hundreds of steps, hitting his gun and shield formation in this way was seeking death.

In the hands of the ten thousand infantry guns and shields, confidence suddenly became thriving, and murderous intent in their eyes ignited. They were ready to tie the enemy cavalry into meat skewers.

Changes, sudden emergence!

The thousands of light cavalry rushing out were not swords and guns, but slender spears. They did not hit the Wei army's shield formation head-on, but flew past the shield formation before it.

Just as the formation passed, more than a thousand light cavalrymen rushed out the spears and guns in their hands. More than a thousand spears, more than one person, pierced at the Wei army overwhelmed.

As the blood mist splattered, the spear spear easily pierced the Wei army's large shield, and instantly drove the Wei army and the people out.
