Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 447 Horse City
The role of prestige here is revealed here. Even though the whole army was routed, Wang Hou gave an order to dismount, five thousand tiger and leopard riders, and one thousand Qingzhou riders dismounted without hesitation, and marched into formation.

Ten thousand husbands retreat from me and advance alone!That's what it feels like!

On the periphery, under Wang Hou's hissing and shouting, every heavy armored horse in horse armor was led to the edge, and led by the horse owner to form a double-layer horse formation, which seemed to be The wall tightly wrapped the heavy cavalry of the Han army in it.

"General! The rout is coming!"

While Wang Hou on this side was still organizing a defensive formation on the hill, Cao Chun, who was standing guard on the edge, shouted anxiously on the other side. Hearing his shout, he raised his binoculars, and Wang Hou immediately spoke in a rough and heroic voice. growled.

"Are Cao Zi and you afraid of death?"

"Afraid of death, why put on armor and go into battle?"

"Okay, you are the first, lead the first song out of the horse formation and set up the triangular spear formation, whoever dares to bump into my horse formation, no matter the enemy or us, will be killed without mercy!"

"The last will obey!"

Soldiers are not afraid of death!The only thing I'm afraid of is that none of the backbones will die in vain!Compared with Zhang Liao, Wang Hou is more reassuring. Amidst his roar, Cao Chun promised loudly, and immediately stepped out of the camp with his long spear held high. Following his roar, more than 400 Han army brothers also wore heavy Armor, resolutely broke out of the horse formation. Amid the crashing sound of armor, more than 400 three-meter-long horse lances fell forward like porcupine spikes.

The cavalry of the Han army came head-on first. Looking at the gleaming cone formation, the first dozen or so Han soldiers who were galloping at a gallop were so frightened that they yelled loudly and were routed from a long distance away. Cao Chun was unmoved by words such as giving way, but when he was about to hit sharp spear points, the veteran of the Han army in the front had no choice but to jump off his horse suddenly, rolling and rolling rolled in from under the spear array.

Veterans have rich experience in the battlefield, but the new recruits and those horses are not so lucky. In the screams of fear and despair, the sharp spear more than half a meter long pierced the human body with ease. Amidst the wailing, Cao Chun mercilessly knocked down a dozen of his own men. Seeing the screams of the people in front of them turning their backs on their backs, the defeated Han army subconsciously passed two sections of the horse.

In the torrent of cavalry with rolling iron hoofs, under the protection of this sharp-edged formation, Wang Hou's heavy cavalry formation is like a tough reef amidst the fierceness.

After galloping for more than a minute and a half, the main force of the Han army, which was less than [-], drifted away. Halfway through, Cao Chun met Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun face to face, watching him marching in formation, Xiahou Dun and the others were all stunned and thoughtful, while Zhang Liao seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, and immediately pulled the horse's rein hard again.

After the Han army passed, it was the Wuhuan people who were chasing the Han army behind their buttocks, shooting arrows and hacking to their heart's content. Suddenly, there was such a hedgehog formation in front of them, and the Wuhuan people who were caught off guard were also blocked. People turned on their backs, some howled and crazily tugged at the reins of the horses, but they were hit by the galloping horses of their comrades in arms behind them, and they flew out with the horses. Fortunately, they rolled down to Cao Chun's feet, and unfortunately, they fell in Gaba. Gaba was trampled into flesh amidst the sound of cracking bones.

However, the twenty or so veterans of the Han army who just rolled down were not vegetarians. They squatted down to watch them tigers, swayed in front of them, hacked without even saying hello, and fell directly to the ground.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he just kicked the horse's stomach with his feet hanging in the air and bumped into it hard. The refreshing sound of sharp blades piercing into the flesh sounded again. The horse was even pierced by three spears at the same time, and the person thrown out flew towards the horse formation fiercely, but there were still several raised long spears facing him. Amid the hissing sound of cutting meat, Cao Chun said More than 40 Wuhuan cavalrymen were killed in a heavy armored phalanx.

Don't think that the cavalry charge is terrible. The three treasures of the cavalry. In the age without machinery, the most terrifying thing about the cavalry is its maneuverability. On the contrary, the impact power ranks last. It was easy to be stopped by the British roadblocks and battle axes, and then shot into mental retardation by the longbowmen. Later, the Swedish Mountain Halberd Corps also had a record of intercepting cavalry many times. The Wuhuan people were light cavalry without armor or stirrups, and they were as crisp as paper in front of the well-formed infantry. More than 40 people died here, and the excited Wuhuan people, who were immersed in the fruits of victory, finally sobered up.

However, the Xiongnu can cause headaches for the Han Empire for a hundred years, and it is not the cavalry charge that killed tens of thousands of people. The "Historical Records" describes the Huns as coming and going like the wind!After waking up, these Wuhuan cavalry quickly showed their old skills of housekeeping.

Riding and shooting!

The Wuhuan people of the central army reined in their horses, and the left and right wings also gave up chasing the Han army, slowed down their horses, surrounded the undefeated Han army's heavily armed troops, drew their bows, and released a dense rain of arrows. .

The crackling rain of arrows roared down like a storm for a while, the arrows jingled on the iron armor, and the heavy cavalry that was blocked outside, even with the iron-clad vest, the arrows that hit the gap in the armor were still blocked The side of the lying horse was dripping with blood, and the painful horse wanted to gallop agitatedly, but was dragged by the master in distress and continued to block it.

Outside, Cao Chun lost his temper when he was shot directly. Don’t think that heavy armor is invincible. The armor of the Roman legion is not weak. The more than 4 Parthian cavalry under Mann's command became mentally retarded, especially when your spear is only three meters away, and the opponent stands twenty meters away and shoots at you. You can't run, you can't fight, you can only be passively beaten , This is an unprecedented blow to morale.

In the sound of puff, puff, three or four were shot down from his side, and his body was shot into a hedgehog. Cao Chun, who couldn't lift his head, yelled and retreated. go.

The two Qingqi veterans of the Han army who were squatting outside but were half a beat slow were shot straight into a sieve, and the spear formation, which could no longer hold up, swayed back while shaking their long spears to block the arrows, but it was okay, Compared with Crassus, the three giants of Rome who were shot mentally retarded in the Battle of Calle, Wang Hou has one more powerful and invincible winning weapon than him.

crossbow!
Responding to Cao Cao, all of a sudden, the heads of the Han soldiers appeared wretchedly from the backs of the horses, and the double bows and crossbows they held in their hands, which were shining coldly, were blocked by the horses. The cavalrymen gritted their teeth and narrowed their eyes, drawing their bows and shooting arrows. A Wuhuan cavalryman in the front row suddenly had his eyes dull, and a short-feathered arrow trembled from his forehead, and a stream of blood flowed down his forehead. Flowing down, he thumped and fell to the horse's feet.

Whoosh~ whoosh~
