Chapter 47 Heavy Riding Charge

A shirtless sword and shield soldier saw the arrows coming towards him and subconsciously used a shield to block them in front of him. When several arrows shot onto the shield, his stomach felt cold and then a sensation. It turned out that a sharp arrow shot into his lower abdomen.

Under the overwhelming arrows, many rebel soldiers fell to the ground by arrows. Some rebel crossbowmen began to shoot and shoot, and sparse arrows flew out from the rebels' unsettled military formations one after another. After the second round of shooting, the crutches rushing in front suddenly spread out to both sides, allowing the heavy cavalry of the royal court behind to speed up. The crutches scattered into two strands to protect the wings of the Wangting heavy cavalry.

The crooked horses rushing toward both wings stopped shooting from the front, but the rebel crossbowmen did not stop. At this time, most of the rebel crossbowmen were in place, and the arrows shot were denser than the other. However, the impact of these arrows on the front of the royal court heavy cavalry was minimal. More than ten arrows were inserted on the armor of many royal court heavy cavalry, but they were almost unscathed.

Qian Xiu was very surprised and thought to himself, [I was wondering just now why the horses were equipped with iron armor, but the people did not. It turned out that there was armor under their cotton coats.] Qian Xiu guessed something, but he didn't know that the cotton coat was not an ordinary cotton coat, but a cotton coat. He stretched out his arm and waved his arms to the enemy and ordered, "Cabinets attack." He had already gathered more than 5,000 rebel cavalry arranged and divided the left and right wings to launch a pincer attack on the enemy cavalry formation.

The guillotine horse went straight up to block the charge of the rebel cavalry. After using cavalry and lances to connect the wrong horse, take down the bow and arrow, or fight with the other party by cavalry and shooting. This made the speed of the rebel cavalry involved in the intention of attacking on both wings. Taking advantage of this time, the royal cavalry had rushed to less than ten battles away from the rebel army formation.

At this time, Qian Xiu saw it clearly. The heavy cavalry horses were hanging nearly four meters of spears, but they did not carry them in their hands. Instead, each of them held a "short spear" less than two meters in their hands. Qian Xiu certainly didn't know that this short spear was actually a javelin.

Just when Qian Xiu was surprised again, these heavy cavalry had all thrown out the "short spears" in their hands. These dense javelins smashed towards Qian Xiu's infantry formation like heavy rain, and suddenly "smashed" a huge gap in the wide square formation. Such javelin throws took two rounds in a row. Because of the increase in horse speed, the javelin's power is far greater than the power of infantry throwing on foot. There were countless rebel soldiers who were injured and injured by the javelin.

After throwing the javelin, the cavalry of the Wang Ting heavy cavalry was neatly arranged, like a blade slashing towards the rebels' phalanx. Blood splashed, and the flesh and blood were shattered, and the rebels were quickly poked down by the cavalry. Some cavalry pierced into the corpse too deep and could not be pulled out. The cavalry knights simply gave up the cavalry and pulled out the sabers to kill left and right. The tall war horses equipped with full iron armor rushed forward and knocked down and overthrew countless rebel soldiers.

On both sides, the crutch horses and the rebel cavalry have been killed in a difficult way. The crutch horses are small in number, but their tactics are flexible and they do not have close contact with the rebel cavalry who use a cavalry or a sabre to fight. Instead, they use a simple cavalry attack method to continuously shoot and kill the opponent. Because the density of people and horses is too high, there are still many rebel cavalry that can approach the crutch horses.

A knight of the knights fired an arrow at the target outside the five battles. The arrow instantly penetrated into the opponent's neck, and then emerged from the other side. The knights watched the target roll down with satisfaction, and then pulled out an arrow from the quiver and aimed at the next target.

But he didn't notice that a rebel cavalry on the left behind was about to pass by him. The rebel cavalry had been shot with an arrow, but it was blocked by armor, which was not fatal. At this time, he raised his cavalry in his hand and headed towards the crutch spur. The moment the cavalry spur stabbed into the crutch horse's back, an arrow also shot into the head of the rebel cavalry. The two rolled under the horse almost at the same time, and were trampled into pieces by the messy horse's hooves in an instant.

Another rebel cavalry raised the saber in his hand and faced the crutch horse rushing towards the opposite side, and chopped off his head with one knife when he was about to get close. However, the other party had already shot the arrow, and the arrow was inserted into his face. Without a sound, he fell from the horse.

When the Gunzi Horse was in a tough battle with the rebel cavalry, the heavy cavalry lined up in the line had already shoved a large area of ​​the large infantry formation like a lawn mower. When they completely passed through the wide military formation, thousands of rebel corpses fell behind them on the bloody road. These heavy cavalry of the royal court turned around and started the second round of attack. The gate of the imperial guard camp suddenly opened, and a large number of imperial guard infantry rushed out to kill the rebel army.

After suffering huge casualties, he was under two attacks. The rebels' team could no longer be maintained and collapsed. Qian Xiu, who had many years of experience in leading troops, knew that the situation was hopeless and it would be difficult to reverse the situation no matter what means he used. Even if he used some extreme means, it would only delay for a quarter of an hour. Now he was thinking about how to preserve more strength.

The remaining 20,000 defeated soldiers collapsed in all directions like a torrent. The soldiers who were holding the flag raised the flag and followed him, and then retreated to Chaoge with hundreds of personal soldiers. He was the defeated soldiers who knew the direction of his retreat.

Xia Yue ordered the imperial infantry to chase and kill the defeated soldiers everywhere, and all the cavalry were tightly biting Qian Xiu's flagship flag. When Qian Xiu saw this, he had to ask the flag bearer to abandon the flagship flag and then ask the soldiers to scatter and flee.

On the Hebei Plain, more than 10,000 imperial guards chased more than 20,000 defeated soldiers all the way. They only took the prisoners one after another until dark, and returned to the camp with their cut heads.

Xia Yue, who returned to the camp, counted it. In this battle, he killed more than 10,000 enemies and captured more than 10,000 enemies. The rest were all dispersed. It is estimated that it would be difficult for Qian Xiu to gather the defeated soldiers again. Late at night, Xia Yue, who was writing a report on the war in the tent to report to Sima Yu, received another good news.

A commander reported to the tent: "You reported to the general, several people from outside the camp, claiming to be from Chaoge, and asked to see you and report to you that there was an important matter. You have been detained by the sentry at the camp gate."

Xia Yue thought to himself, [Chao Ge? Could it be the one from Chao Ge’s defenders?], so he ordered: “Take them to see me quickly.”

As Xia Yue expected, the person who came was the envoy sent by Chaoge County Magistrate, and they also brought a gift to Xia Yue - Qian Xiu's head.
