Chapter 161 Iron hoofs (suddenly thought)(2/2)
The infantry and archers of Xu Sheng's army faced the light cavalry in horror, not knowing where the opponent would launch their attack.
Hua Mulan's light cavalry stood in front of the heavy cavalry, hiding the whereabouts of this trump card.
The light cavalry attacked everywhere. Xu Shengjun could not tell where Hua Mulan wanted to attack. There was sand and dust raised by the cavalry everywhere.
Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and the sound of horse hooves was three times duller than that of light cavalry.
In the sand and dust, an iron barrel-like cavalry troop emerged. The men and horses were all wearing heavy armor, their iron hoofs were clanking, and the ground was shaking!
A young general in white led the way, holding a Fangtian painted halberd. Behind him, the heavy cavalry in the front row held up their sharp horse spears. The length of the horse spears was enough to stab the infantry to death before the infantry's spears could reach the heavy cavalry!
Three hundred heavy cavalry entered the battlefield, which meant that the battle was about to end!
Either the heavy cavalry will break the formation, or the heavy cavalry will fall on their backs!
Xu Sheng's regiment, which was attracted by Hua Mulan's light cavalry, did not expect that there would be a terrifying heavy cavalry hidden behind the light cavalry, so they hurriedly adjusted their formation!
The heavy cavalry has begun to accelerate, and the speed is gradually increasing. The ground is shaking more and more violently, and all the spear and shield soldiers and crossbowmen have pale faces.
Being crushed in the face by the torrent of steel, this huge sense of oppression is enough to scare countless people!
"What are the crossbowmen still doing? Shooting arrows!"
The crossbowmen reacted and fired sharp crossbow arrows!
The crossbow bolt grazed the armor of the heavy cavalry, and the collision of iron tools produced sparks, but the time was so short that the sparks could not be seen with the naked eye.
The steel torrent composed of heavy cavalry suffered very few casualties under the attack of the opponent's first round of crossbows!
Heavy cavalry sacrifices the mobility of light cavalry in exchange for the defense and impact brought by armor!
"It's too early to release the arrow!"
At this time, the lord who was commanding the crossbowmen realized that at such a long distance, the crossbowmen would do minimal damage to the heavy cavalry.
Unless you are at a very close distance or use heavy arrows, you can cause a lot of damage to heavy cavalry.
Xue Rengui took the lead, Fang Tian painted his halberd to split the incoming crossbow arrows, swept his halberd forward, cut off the spear blocking the front, and plunged headlong into the enemy's formation!
The Xuzhou heavy cavalry and Goguryeo heavy cavalry in the rear slammed into the opponent's phalanx. Ma Shan, the heavy cavalry in the front row, took the lead in piercing the opponent's spearmen, breaking through the enemy's formation with unparalleled impact!
The torrent of steel like an iron barrel then advanced, quickly crushing the opponent's fragile phalanx, and kept rushing forward!
Xue Rengui used his personal force to clear the way for the heavy cavalry and kept moving forward!
Once the heavy cavalry launches a charge, it is difficult to adjust the direction and can only move forward!
As long as they stop, they will soon be stabbed to death by the opponent's spear, so they can only keep attacking!
"The right wing of our army was attacked by the enemy's heavy cavalry and has been defeated!"
Xu Sheng, who was still fighting with Zhou Yafu, heard the news and immediately got on the carriage and looked at the right wing.
A group of heavy cavalry, led by a young general in white, is rapidly breaking through the phalanx of Xu Sheng's army, trying to penetrate the entire phalanx!
"The reserve team comes forward and must stop this heavy cavalry!"
Xu Sheng dispatched a reserve team.
When Xue Rengui's heavy cavalry launched an assault, Hua Mulan, who had been wandering around, took advantage of the enemy's confusion and vulnerability, so she led the light cavalry directly to the enemy's rear and launched a pincer attack.
Fang Xuanling and Chu Tian climbed up and looked up. They saw the two armies fighting. Xue Rengui had already penetrated the enemy formation with his heavy cavalry. He readjusted his troops and prepared to turn back for a second charge.
"The enemy's position is already in chaos. No matter how many troops there are, it will be useless. Our army will win this battle."
Fang Xuanling observed the situation and made a decisive judgment at this time.
"Xu Sheng is considered a capable man. He was able to draw with Zhou Yafu under the attack of Xiliu Camp and Shesheng Camp. However, they lacked a strong cavalry, so they lost."
Chutian bullied Xu Sheng because he lacked cavalry and cavalry generals, so he bet his hopes on heavy cavalry.
Xue Rengui lived up to his expectations and led his heavy cavalry to penetrate the enemy's formation, causing chaos in the enemy's formation and a significant drop in morale.
"Send the order, if Xu Sheng is captured alive, don't kill him. I still need a water general."
Chu Tian coveted Xu Sheng's ability.
