Chapter 180 Death Charge!

Listening to the sound of war horses trampling on the soil, it is impossible not to be afraid. However, the eight hundred soldiers under Kuo Yi were all fighting men who crawled out of the pile of dead people. The courage and discipline had been trained long ago, and no one crawled out of the trench.

Yan Gang looked at the soldiers of Yuan Shao behind the earth wall opposite, and a grim smile appeared on his face. He leaned down, clenched the spear in his hand tightly, and then rushed upwards...

Seeing Yan Gang's gesture, more than a thousand archers immediately raised the short bow in their hands, tilted the arrows and shot quickly forward!

In the era when stirrups and high bridge saddles were not equipped, they were able to control horses on the running war horses with their legs, bite the reins with their mouths, and bend their bows and shoot arrows. This was a rare elite. Even if Gongsun Zan had about 10,000 cavalrymen in the army heading south this time, only these thousand were able to complete this important task.

Seeing the cavalry in Gongsun Zan’s army bent their bows, Yan Liang quickly shouted: “Rise the shield!”

Hearing his order, the sword and shield hand in charge of covering immediately raised the wooden shield diagonally, and the spearmen who were standing by aside also pointed the spear in their hands diagonally forward and kept shaking. Despite this, many arrows shot through the gaps of the shield, shooting the archers who were only wearing civilian clothes!

Yan Liang did not issue a counterattack order. Although Yan Gang and the others rushed over now, their targets were relatively loose, and covering shooting did not achieve much results. Except for a few sharpshooters who were skilled in shooting, all the crossbowmen did not dare to shoot under Yan Liang's strict orders.

Seeing that there were only such a few archers in Yuan Shao's army counterattack, Yan Gang was overjoyed. Naturally, he would not have thought that Yan Liang would dare to make such a great sacrifice. He thought that Yuan Shao's main force of crossbow soldiers had not yet arrived at the battlefield. After all, the battle had just begun, and crossbow soldiers needed to carry a large number of arrows, and the slow marching speed was consistent with common sense.

So Yan Gang happily pressed the spear in his hand down. Seeing this signal, except for the archers and cavalry behind, the remaining cavalry began to quickly assemble to form an assault formation.

Yan Liang smiled coldly and shouted loudly: "The whole army is ready!"

Hearing his orders, the crossbowmen put their fingers on the trigger, and the archers also pulled open the longbow and prepared to take the arrow.

Yan Gang was getting closer and closer, and he could vaguely see the reaction of Yan Liang's troops, but he didn't care. The crossbowmen could only cause a certain blow to them unless they continued to cover a certain area. However, with the cavalry's charge speed, the opponent only shot one or two arrows, and as long as he could rush to them, the small crossbowmen were not worth mentioning!

Yan Gang lowered his head to ensure that the oncoming airflow would not fill his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Hearing his shouts, dozens of guards around him immediately repeated loudly: "Kill!"

The entire guard battalion heard the shout, and five hundred cavalrymen shouted: "Kill!"

The entire cavalry impact group heard this shout. Everyone quickly beat the war horses while adjusting their positions to form a cavalry assault formation.

And just then, Yan Liang shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

Hearing Yan Liang's orders, the two guards behind him immediately pressed Yan Liang's battle flag forward and shook it left and right twice!

After seeing this signal, all the crossbowmen immediately launched their shooting. Especially the more than a thousand powerful crossbows, they had already put the bowstrings and prepared the crossbow arrows. Now when they heard the order, the shooters immediately smashed the trigger with the mallet!

I heard the sound of "bang bang bang...", and the crossbow arms of the powerful crossbow trembled violently, and the bowstrings were shaking violently, and the spears that acted as crossbow arrows were shot out quickly!

When Yan Gang heard the sound, he couldn't help but grow up his mouth and filled with cold wind! Oh my God, it's impossible, how could there be so many powerful crossbows in Yuan Shao's army, my cavalry!

But now it is too late to regret it, so I can only speed up and rush forward. Moreover, with the inertia of the cavalry, since it launched a charge, it was impossible to turn suddenly, and I can only hope that the cavalry's speed can cover them as always!

Now, there is no need for Yan Gang to give orders, everyone is whipping their horses frantically, accelerating, accelerating!

More than 4,000 cavalrymen accelerated their charges together, and the sound of horse hooves stomped the ground and swayed straight. The 800 elite soldiers under Queyi were all veterans struggling on the line of life and death. Faced with such a powerful cavalry charge group, dozens of people couldn't help but follow their physical instincts, lifted the wooden shield covering their bodies, threw down their weapons and rushed back!

Yan Gang was shocked when he saw dozens of people suddenly jumping out from the empty soil in front of him. However, facing the collective charge of the cavalry, it would be useless even if you dig a hole to hide it. I will stomp your turtle shell directly!

At this time, Yan Liang's crossbowmen kept firing, and Yan Gang also clamped his spear with his arms to prepare to hit! It was not until this time that the cavalrymen who rushed in the front row discovered the shallow pit on the ground. They did not agree. How could such a shallow pit stop the charge of our invincible cavalry? The other party was so naive!

The front row of cavalry simply lifted the war horses and successfully crossed these traps, and then... fell off the horse with a crackling sound!

Oh my God, why are there such small pits in front of you?

The cavalry's horses were in a state of charge at high speed and could not stop at all. Even if they were lucky enough to rush through dozens of small pits, they would eventually lose their hooves and step on the trap. As long as the horse's hooves fell into this small shallow pit, they would be forward by the inertia brought by the high speed charge. With a click, they would be broken!

Once the war horse that charges at high speed breaks, it will suddenly fall to the ground and throw the cavalry on the horse's back hard. If you are lucky, you will die on the spot. If you are lucky, you will inevitably be broken by the body of the war horse, and you will want to die, but you will not die for a while. If you want to live, you will not survive for a while!

In just one moment, more than 500 cavalrymen at the forefront were all hit, and screams were connected!

Yan Gang widened his eyes and shouted loudly in a crying voice: "Slow down and turn!"

But since the cavalry launched the final charge, how could it be easy to slow down and turn? During the adjustment of the cavalry of Yan Gang's troops, more than 700 cavalrymen did not have time to stop their horses and rushed into the trap of death!

While Yan Gang's cavalry slowed down, Yan Liang's crossbowmen performed extraordinaryly and kept releasing arrows. Especially the more than a thousand powerful crossbows, they kept swallowing and spitting the spear of death under the control of the soldiers!

Under such efficient massacre, in just a moment, nearly three thousand cavalrymen participating in the charge fell down!

If it were the cavalry of those nomadic peoples, they might have been in chaos long ago, like birds and beasts scattered! However, the cavalry under Yan Gang were all elite troops who had experienced great wars, and their organizational discipline and fighting will rank among the best in the entire army. Even in such adversity, the cavalry still did not escape from the battlefield, but continued to move forward, forward, forward!

Finally, a cavalry stepped on the bodies of his comrades and crossed the trap. Just as he raised his sword with a grim smile, Tuo Yi shouted loudly: "Go to the dead soldiers first, I am invincible!"

While roaring, Tuo Yi lifted up the shield on his body and jumped out of the trench. Hearing his orders, more than 600 soldiers jumped out of the ground and rushed towards the cavalry opposite who were blocked by the corpse!

There were originally 800 death soldiers who climbed the first. On the way to charge by Yan Gang, more than a hundred people could not bear the heavy pressure. They overturned the long shield from the ground and fled to the rear. They were then shot and killed by the crossbowman from Yan Gang and the soldiers supervised by Yan Liang! Dozens of other people were hiding close to the ground, and were shocked by the cavalry's charge, and their internal organs were injured and their combat power was lost!

The soldiers of Queyi's troops roared loudly and moved forward hard. In order to avoid the trapped horse pit on the ground, the cavalry under Yan Gang had to slow down. Facing the deadly soldiers who were jumping flexibly among the corpses, they were unable to match their strength and were blocked by the more than 600 deadly soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Liang even urged the soldiers to shoot and shoot again, and his throat was hoarse. Under his urging, several soldiers even hurriedly carried crossbow arrows back and forth and died!

Seeing the cavalry running blood on Yuan Shao’s defense line, Gongsun Zan frowned and shouted loudly: "Gongsun Fan, you bring two thousand cavalry to surround the enemy from the left wing; I personally lead three thousand white horses to attack the enemy from the right wing; the rest of the infantry are all pressing! This time we meet Yuan Shao’s main force, and we must defeat them in one battle!"

Hearing his order, the generals responded loudly, immediately returned to each unit and led their troops to attack. In Gongsun Zan's calculation, although Yan Gang's troops were in crisis, with the combat power of the cavalry, as long as they made up their minds to attack, they would be able to persevere until the left and right wings were encircled!

However, crossbow arrows were flying on their heads, crossbow machines were heard in their ears, and they were full of corpses who died in battle. Even the elite cavalry under Gongsun Zan could last?

Yan Gang had changed three war horses, covered in blood, with enemies and his own. The spear in his hand had long been broken in the battle, and now he was only waving his own long sword to fight against Yuan Jun.

There were no less than ten death soldiers in the first place who fell under his sword, but the more Yan Gang was, the more frightened he was. What was the other party's origin? Why could a small soldier have three or four moves with him, and even if he was defeated, he would swear to leave several wounds on himself!

At first, Yan Gang was still very sad and angry when he watched the soldiers around him being shot in pieces. But then, as the guards around him were accurately shot by Yuan Jun’s bow and arrow, he felt a little fear in his heart. Especially with fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and Yuan Jun’s momentum was getting stronger and stronger, Yan Gang knew in his heart that he had been completely defeated and could not turn defeat into victory!
