Chapter 612 Confrontation between Cavalry
The Xianbei people are not afraid of death. Although from the moment they get on horseback, the Xianbei people are proud to die on the battlefield and ashamed to die of old age in their tents. They are crazy and cruel because they all know that the only time they can survive is now. He was alive, but the next moment, he might die on the way to charge.
?Hence, they face death more calmly and care less about death. Compared with most people in agricultural civilization, they are outlaws.
They are used to going south when there is no food!
They are used to going south when there are no women!
They have become accustomed to going south when they lack a little salt or tea, or even a cauldron in their tent!
?There is only one goal, which is to promote national integration at all costs...
?Of course, this price is mainly paid by the Han dogs in the south who only know how to face the dirt and turn their backs to the sky all day long.
Now, it is their turn to pay some price.
The Xianbei people who were chasing Ma Yan suddenly heard the sound of clappers. From both sides of the valley, many Han people were already standing, all with their bows open. The sudden hail inside hit us head on!
A rain of arrows flew from the sky instantly, and the Xianbei people were unprepared. Suddenly, many people and horses were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, like a big onion, one layer of which was peeled off in a few breaths. Average layer.
The formation of the Xianbei people immediately dispersed. Some people wanted to hide to the side, and some wanted to rush through this area quickly. Chang Hanlu himself was also busy avoiding the arrow rain, and did not announce it immediately. The order caused the entire Xianbei charge to immediately become chaotic.
Ma Yan led the cavalry, bypassed the horse-rejecting side of the infantry battle formation at Taniguchi, then slowed down his horse speed, and finally stopped slowly, leaned down, touched the neck of the horse that was already dripping with sweat, and gently He patted him lightly, then turned over and dismounted, leading the dismounted cavalrymen back to the entrance of the valley.
The military commander who was guarding and commanding the infantry at the entrance of the valley quickly came forward to greet Ma Yan.
Ma Yan waved his hand and said: "Take care of your soldiers and ignore me. Do you still have extra bows and arrows? Although my son is dismounted, he can still shoot the bow." In order to save the physical strength of the war horse, it is also estimated that It was mainly hand-to-hand cavalry combat, so when Ma Yan set off, some of the burdens were removed, including bows and arrows, drinking water, etc.
The military commander smiled and said: "These have been prepared a long time ago and are on the baggage cart. There is also some dry food and water. If you don''t mind it, you can use it."
Hearing this, Ma Yan raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Some food and drinks are great, what else can''t you choose? Well, you are the one, um, Ling... Ling, what is it?" He suddenly looked at this military commander with special eyes. , being able to prepare extra equipment is not a simple matter in itself, and we also need to consider that Ma Zhan needs food and drinking water to replenish his physical strength during a long-distance attack. This is enough to show that this military commander has a delicate mind, but he has only seen one I met him twice, so I can’t remember his name at the moment.
“The villain is Ling Jie.” The military commander cupped his hands and said.
?Ma Yan asked again smoothly: "Do you have any words?"
“The word is Shouzheng.” Ling Jie replied.
"Yeah, not bad." Ma Yan nodded, not sure whether he meant that Ling Jie''s calligraphy was good or that Ling Jie did a good job.
As he was talking, Xianbei''s cavalry had already rushed out of the valley. Ling Jie cupped his hands, said something, walked a few steps forward, and gave instructions loudly.
Now Chang Hanlu is faced with an extreme problem...
The valley is long and narrow and curved, so there is no problem for the cavalry to go straight in the same direction, but if they want to turn around within the valley, it will be a disaster, and they will definitely be shot like a sieve by the archers on both sides of the valley.
However, there is an infantry battle formation in front of the Juma, with spears like a forest, inserted diagonally behind the Juma, and a chain of baggage carts blocking the middle. It is like a simple village wall. If you want to break through, It is undoubtedly a difficult task.
It was difficult to advance and retreat. Chang Hanlu almost had to scratch a layer of scalp off his bald head.
But on the battlefield, there is no room for mistakes or good hesitations. Accompanied by several loud noises, several Xianbei cavalrymen rushed forward in panic and reported: "The ones behind! The ones behind are blocked by Han people!"
"What?!" Chang Hanlu blushed, brandished his spear, and shouted at the back of his neck, "There is no way out, we can only move forward! Charge!" With no way out, Chang Hanlu exploded. With determination and courage, he shouted loudly and led the Xianbei people straight to the Han army''s formation at the mouth of the valley.
When Ling Jie saw the Xianbei people starting to charge, he shouted loudly: "Quick! Pull out the bracket! Pull out the shelf!"
??More than a dozen infantrymen grabbed the ropes that had been tied to the brackets and wooden boards next to their feet, and began to pull hard. The rope drove the brackets and wooden boards erected on the dug hole, and quickly pulled it back to the side of the infantry battle formation, revealing a gap more than one meter wide.
Ma Yan, who had been paying attention to the situation ahead, held a water bag in one hand, took a few mouthfuls of rice **** in his mouth, and then handed the water bag to the bodyguard beside him. When he saw the gap appeared, , the water in his mouth squirted out with a pop, and he laughed loudly and said: "This, um, Shouzheng, this ditch was dug hard enough! It''s good enough!"
Although the ditch in front of the formation is not deep, it is more than one meter wide and one meter deep. Generally speaking, even if you fall down, you will not be injured. But the problem is that it is just in front of the horse, and if the Xianbei cavalry is in front of the ditch, Just let the horse cross over, and then it will be almost in front of the rejecting horse, and then there will be no space for the horse to fly again...
? And if you soar from the bottom of the ditch, it is equivalent to adding more than one meter of height to the horse invisibly. This thing is not something that ordinary war horses can do...
??If you slowly climb up the ditch, then sprint and jump to resist the horse, not to mention the slowed down cavalry, it will be a big target, but such a small distance does not allow much increase in horse speed...
It’s really called cheating horses but not people.
The Xianbei people never expected that such a situation would occur. Some of the Xianbei people rushing ahead hurriedly picked up their war horses and crossed the chasm, only to find that the thick horses and the sturdy walls of the baggage cart were in front of them in an instant...
Following Mayan''s cavalry, they also picked up their bows and arrows. Countless arrows and crossbow bolts were like a swarm of bloodthirsty wasps, buzzing towards the Xianbei people. They were originally pulled by the narrow valley. It turned into a long line of Xianbei people, and there was no way to put enough pressure on the frontal infantry battle formation. One after another, they either became corpses pierced on spears, or were shot by arrows and rolled off their horses. Down…
A wasp has set its sights on the nest of the author''s fungus...
Maybe it’s not a wasp…
The belly is yellow…
The author is not biological and does not understand...
The author has built three small nests here and there...
?????????????????
Like a large open peanut...
It is also divided into upper and lower floors...
Speaking of which, it should be its small duplex single-family villa...
How do you feel...
Um…
