Chapter 76: Pierce through(2/2)
After reorganizing an effective counterattack, each of them fought independently in the chaos, and had no way to quickly break away from the battle, so they were trapped in a one-sided killing.
The problem is that after the three hundred Yunzhou Cavalry fled to the two wings, and their cavalry formation was easily penetrated by the Chushan Cavalry, the distance between the Chushan Cavalry and the central army position where Xiao Heng was located has been shortened to 600 steps from the diagonal side.
.
The Yunzhou Cavalry who fled to the two wings did not escape far away, but still tried to approach from the flanks and harassed the Chushan Assault Cavalry array with their bows and crossbows.
The generals on both wings of Chushan's sudden cavalry were mainly equipped with swords and shields. On the one hand, they used crossbows to cover the flanks, and on the other hand, they used sharp swords to harvest isolated and besieged enemy soldiers——
However, at this moment, the sharp whistle coming from the front line clearly required the cavalry on both wings to ignore the injured enemy soldiers who were fallen off their horses or scattered on the battlefield, and just pay attention to using their shields to block the scattered arrows that were fired, and follow the sudden attack closely.
Move forward on the array.
The armored cavalry attacked in a dense formation, and the horses in the front line and on both wings were heavily armored. Of course, they could not gallop as fast as the light cavalry.
However, as long as the assault armored cavalry does not stop, it will cut through the loose cavalry formation of the Yunzhou cavalry that rushes to intercept like Tang Woxue. It will always be like three black sharp blades, weaving in and out in the direction of the Yunzhou cavalry's central army. Five or six hundred
The distance is definitely much shorter than everyone thinks.
As short as a breath.
On the short slope where Xiao Heng was located, there were only two hundred-man cavalry units on the right wing of the Chinese army, which were deployed in a flying goose formation for defense.
"Pick the ax and throw it to kill!"
They charged forward under the rain of locust arrows. When they were thirty paces away from the second wave of enemy cavalry, Wang Ju gave an order and the twenty or so soldiers in the front took off their short-handled axes from their saddles.
Quickly throw it towards the enemy cavalry ahead.
The lethality of throwing a bladed ax at a short distance of more than twenty steps is definitely stronger than that of throwing a spear, which flashes a life-threatening cold light in the air.
Except for the agile generals who have time to dodge or block, armor, including war armor, cannot withstand sharp ax blades that break armor and kill at close range. Even the small shield used by the cavalry may be able to withstand it.
Punctured by an axe.
Although only five or six of the Yunzhou Cavalry were killed by flying axes at the first time, the shields held by most of them were still effective. The problem was that the formation of the Chushan Jia Cavalry in the front was too dense, and two of them were killed at once.
Thirty flying axes were thrown, aiming at the five or six enemy knights in front. How many of them could withstand it with a small shield?
The small shield could only cover the chest, abdomen or facial vitals. The shoulders, arms and thighs were hit by flying axes one after another. Even if they could not die for a while, the blood flowed like a stream, and even the leg bones and arms were directly chopped off by the flying axes, or maybe
The war horse was directly torn open by flying axes, wounds that were dozens of times more terrifying than those caused by arrows. This forced the enemy soldiers who were facing Chushan's sudden cavalry to rush to both sides to avoid the gap, so that the gap was easily opened.
"Clang, clang!" The Yunzhou Cavalry in the distance came over with a dense rain of arrows. The Chushan generals just moved forward and struck fiercely, tearing the gap wider and more completely.
At this time, the war horses were heavily armored or the horses were hit by arrows. The generals who had not yet had time to change horses gathered with Wang Ju and Wang Zhang as the core. While deliberately slowing down, the center of gravity began to attack both sides.
In the center is Wu Chihai leading more than a hundred light cavalry to gather behind Xu Huai.
At this time, Xu Huai also replaced the long wooden bow with a long one. Seeing that the gap had been torn open, while he was moving on horseback, his sharp eyes like a falcon were fixed on the dozens of people around him who were only a hundred steps away.
