Chapter 118 Heavy Damage to the Heavy Armored Cavalry
"Bang bang bang!"
Every step forward by the heavy armored cavalry would produce a metallic collision sound. This time, Wanyan Zhen also followed the heavy armored cavalry forward, while the iron cavalry stood behind and were on standby at all times.
Although he had lost more than half of his cavalry in the previous battle, as long as the cavalry could charge, the effect played by one person was greater than that of a dozen infantrymen.
"Warriors of the heavy cavalry! Use your iron hooves! Use your iron spears! Tear through the enemy's lines! The god Panda is with you!"
Wanyan Zhen shouted excitedly, and then raised the big knife in his hand and continued to roar: "For the tribe! Kill all the Han people!"
The heavy cavalry began to charge forward synchronously. As they increased their speed, the vibration of the entire ground intensified and a large amount of dust was raised.
Yue Fei held the spear in his hand, and when the Hu people's heavy cavalry were less than a hundred meters away, he shouted and the Yue Army around him began to execute the battle plan.
Some soldiers of Yue's army took out their Shenbi bows, loaded them with armor-piercing arrows, and shot at the chests of the heavily armored cavalry.
Even the armor-piercing arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor. The arrowheads were completely stuck in the armor.
Seeing that the arrows were useless, Yue's army immediately changed their tactics. They formed groups of 100 and found the heavy armored cavalry they wanted to deal with.
Among them, some soldiers drew their swords and ran quickly towards the heavily armored cavalry. The Hu cavalry on horseback laughed disdainfully when they saw the Han people rushing towards them so fearlessly.
To confront the heavy cavalry head-on would be a sheer act of seeking death!
They raised the iron spears in their hands and attacked forward the moment the Han people came running!
Yue's soldiers did not dodge. Instead, they used their bodies to block the stabs from the cavalry.
The iron spear pierced his body, and Yue's soldiers roared while holding the spear handles tightly with both hands. They actually used their own death to lock the heavy cavalry's weapons.
The heavy cavalry wanted to retract their spears but found that they could not do so for a while. The Han people in front of them used their last chance of life to fight for an attack opportunity for their companions.
At this moment, the rest of Yue's army arrived one after another. They drew out their swords and swung at the horses' hooves that were not covered by armor!
"Woo!"
The warhorse let out a wail, and after losing four hooves, it fell down, taking with it the cavalrymen on its back.
The cavalrymen fell heavily to the ground, and the huge impact made the Hu soldiers in the armor feel dizzy.
They tried to get up from the ground, but the heavy iron armor on their bodies made their movements slow.
During this process, several soldiers of Yue's Army had already approached. They took out their short knives and looked for the seams in the armor.
"Ah!" The heavily armored cavalry screamed. They could only watch as Yue's army stabbed their bodies with daggers without any power to resist.
Fighting with life, the Beiwei Army in history once used this method to kill the Tiefutu of the Jin Dynasty.
Ying Xuanze had a heavy face. Guan Yu and Huo Qubing beside him looked at the Beiwei soldiers who were fighting to the death with admiration.
Wanyan Zhen's face was filled with panic. He could only watch helplessly as these heavily armored cavalry were killed by the Beiwei Army, and he was powerless to do anything.
He never thought that anyone could sacrifice their lives selflessly, but today he saw that these Han people could really sacrifice their lives for victory.
"Retreat! Heavy cavalry retreat!" Although he was unwilling, Wanyan Zhen still gave the order to retreat.
Heavy cavalry are too precious. If these 5,000 men die here, the king will definitely chop them into pieces and feed them to the wolves on the grassland.
The Hu people's cavalry moved forward quickly. Upon seeing this, Yue Fei immediately blew a whistle, and some people in the Beiwei Army immediately abandoned the heavy cavalry in front of them and turned to deal with the oncoming Hu people's cavalry.
When the Hu cavalry saw Yue's army take out the magic arm bow again, they were so scared that their faces turned pale, but they had orders to obey, so they could only bite the bullet and rescue the heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry in the rear were able to withdraw from the battlefield, but as for those unlucky guys who had been targeted by the Beiwei Army, they had no choice but to give up.
Once the heavy cavalry falls, it means they are not far from death, so preserving their combat effectiveness is the most important thing at the moment.
A total of more than 3,000 of the 5,000 heavy cavalry were lost, and only less than 2,000 successfully retreated, and the backs of these heavy cavalry were already soaked with sweat.
They knew that if the cavalry had not come to rescue them at the risk of being shot, they would have suffered the same fate as their companions.
Although Yue's army wiped out more than 3,000 heavy cavalry, they also paid the price of more than 5,000 people...
After a moment, Ying Xuanze sighed. The history books said that the Beiwei Army would sacrifice themselves to create an opportunity for their companions to kill Tiefutu.
It turns out this is all true. Such integrity is worthy of the word "hero"!
Although they are all soldiers exchanged by the system, they are also men of flesh and blood!
Ying Xuanze clenched the formation-breaking spear in his hand, turned sideways and said sternly to the Huben Army and Zhao Cavalry behind him:
"The Yue Family Army has devoted themselves so much, we have no reason to lose this battle! Today, we will slaughter the Lu Ge tribe with blood!"
"Bloody massacre of the Luge tribe! Strengthen our Han people!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
The sound was deafening, and Lu Ge's blood pressure surged, and his chest was filled with rage.
Even the strongest heavy cavalry of their tribe was defeated. Could it be that the army of the Marquis of Zhenxi is even more powerful than their Hu people?
Why? The Han people are obviously not as big as the Hu people!
At this time, Nagorbru, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward and whispered behind Lugohonga:
"Your Majesty, this army has powerful crossbows and a fearless spirit. It will be difficult to defeat them head-on."
Lu Gehongjia turned around and shouted, "Nonsense! What do you want me to say? Can't I see it?"
Nagorbru clenched his fists but said calmly, "Then send out the shield soldiers. Their shields are comparable to the armor of heavy cavalry and are more flexible than heavy cavalry."
"At least the troops of the Marquis of Zhenxi can no longer use crossbows and flexible fighting methods to fight us. Fifty thousand shield soldiers are enough."
When Lu Gehongjia heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. Yes! Why didn't he think that he also had shield soldiers?
Although shield-armored soldiers are no match for cavalry, the troops sent by Marquis Zhenxi are not cavalry!
"Great! Thanks to you, brother Blue! After this victory, I will give you ten thousand people!" Lu Ge said happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nagorburu bowed his head slightly, and then silently retreated to his original position.
He smiled coldly in his heart. What were ten thousand people? If he had the chance, he would want the entire Luge tribe!
"Boom boom boom!"
The sound of drums was heard again in the Hu camp. In order to make Yue's army pay a price, Lu Gehongjia sent out all his shield and armored soldiers this time!
Fifty thousand shield-and-armored soldiers formed up in battle formation, waiting for orders to charge forward at any time.
