Three Kingdoms

Chapter 609 Collision between Cavalry

Hanlu, the leader of the Qian cavalry, also gave the order to attack. He raised the battle ax in his hand and roared loudly. The Xianbei cavalry beside him also roared loudly with him.

Qianqi Changhanlu was a warrior in the Dadanghu tribe. It is said that when he was a teenager, he single-handedly chased and killed wild wolves on the grassland, and later fought with Dadanghu. When Dadanghu went south several times to deepen the friendship between the ethnic groups, Chang Hanlu also followed Dadanghu in his southern expeditions, and his meritorious service was promoted to the rank of Qianqi Commander. With his bravery and fighting spirit, he is somewhat famous among ordinary Xianbei people. Although he is quite ugly and has a bald head, in today's era, the most important thing for a man on the battlefield is not his face, but his appearance. Depending on whether he has force or not, and because he is loyal to Da Dang household, he naturally becomes an important Qian Cavalry Commander under Da Dang household, and even Shusi Qian of the same level does not dare to despise him.

This was the first time Dadanghu had a head-on confrontation with the Han cavalry since he went south this year. Chang Hanlu did not dare to take it lightly. He held up the battle ax that had followed him throughout his life and issued a series of orders: "Charge with the whole army! Speed ​​up left and right! Wrap up! Get ready to shoot!"

Fei Qian attaches great importance to the equipment of his soldiers, so whether they are cavalry or infantry, this is the case. Generally speaking, in order to reduce the burden on their horses, cavalry wear crotch armor with sleeves, a helmet with a neck guard, and a small buckler nailed with iron...

The above is the protective equipment of the cavalry.

As for the unarmored arms, legs and other parts, it can only rely on the blessing of luck.

Even such simple equipment has already made many people envious, including the Xianbei people who only have leather robes and the dirt on their bodies from not bathing for many years to protect themselves.

At Chang Hanlu's order, the Xianbei people, who had lived on horseback since childhood, were obviously superior in riding and shooting skills. "Swish, swish, swish", a fluff of arrows flew out, and they took the lead in attacking, whistling and rushing towards Mayan et al.

"Raise the shield!" As soon as Ma Yan saw the Xianbei people raising their bows and arrows, he immediately shouted an order. At the same time, he reached out and raised the small round riding shield hanging on the side of the horse in his hand. He lowered his body and used the small round shield. The shield half covered his face and the horse's head, and he struck the horse's butt with the handle of the spear in his right hand.

The war horse felt pain, neighed, and accelerated again.

As soon as Ma Yan finished speaking, the Xianbei people's arrows had arrived.

The Han army's cavalry basically followed the same movements as Ma Yan, lowering their bodies and covering their faces and the horses' heads with small bucklers. After all, they were armored, and the Xianbei people's bows and arrows were relatively weak. , as for other parts, it depends on whether God gives you this luck.

The number of Xianbei people was twice that of Mayan, and they had begun to slightly expand their formation. The arrows were like a heavy rain, and they fell down in a black mass!

An arrow grazed the edge of the shield and hit Ma Yan's helmet. It bounced away with a "dang" sound. Ma Yan was hit and swayed on the horse's back, but he did not stop. Instead, he raised it high. With a long gun, he shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up, kill——"

The Han cavalry also had bows and arrows, but the reason why they did not choose to compete with the Xianbei people was because Ma Yan, as a qualified cavalry commander, naturally knew what it meant to use strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Compared with the Xianbei cavalry, the cavalry and shooting skills of the Han cavalry are still far behind. However, due to equipment reasons, the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Xianbei cavalry is naturally a bit lower. Therefore, it is best to use different combat modes for different people. The right choice.

"kill--"

The knights of the Han army roared angrily, some raised their swords, and some leveled their spears. Their eyes widened with anger, and they followed Ma Yan closely.

Although the Han army's cavalry were protected by armor, many people were still shot by arrows. Although it was not necessarily fatal, the impact of the arrows also caused some people to become unable to sit still and fall off their horses, and were immediately dashed away from behind. Some of the horses were trampled to death by their hoofs, and some were barely hanging on to the stirrups, being dragged by the horses and running wildly, but more people were holding on to the reins, grabbing the horse's mane, holding the horse's belly tightly, looking at the arrows on their bodies. Regardless, his red eyes stared at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, roaring angrily, his fighting spirit surging.

Ma Yan slightly deflected the angle of the attack and plunged in at the connection between the Xianbei center and the right wing!

"Boom!" The two armies collided, and many cavalrymen who could not dodge fell off their horses.

The huge bodies of the war horses collided together, making a horrifying sound of flesh and blood hitting and bones breaking. The cavalry, whether they were Han or Xianbei, could not maintain their shape after the collision, and were lifted high off the horse's back by the inertia. Throwing up...

"kill!"

Ma Yan turned slightly, dodged a split sword, raised his spear, and immediately cut the Xianbei cavalry's neck.

The Xianbei cavalryman covered his neck with his hands, screamed and turned over, and fell off his horse. He was immediately trampled on the chest by the hoofs of the horses behind him. He had just screamed half a cry when they were all stepped back by the hoofs of the horses, and stopped suddenly.

The spear in Ma Yan's hand was more urgent, and the sharp spear head turned into blossoming spear flowers. Not only did it swing away the spears of the Xianbei cavalry that were stabbed from the left and right sides, but it also hit the spear of a Xianbei cavalry on the left. chest, knocking him off his horse.

With the force of the rebound, Ma Yan twisted the spear again and passed the waist of a Xianbei cavalry on the right. A huge blood flower suddenly bloomed. The spear head continued to castrate, and even scratched the buttocks of his horse. A deep blood mark appeared. The injured war horse neighed and jumped to the side, but bumped into another war horse running in the same direction, and both of them fell to the ground.

The cavalry on both sides collided and fought, using their horse speed and even their own bodies to fight against each other.

A Han cavalry and a Xianbei cavalry were unable to dodge and collided with each other. The Han cavalry on horseback was well prepared and took advantage of the inertia of the horse's speed to rise into the air. With a roar, he chopped off the sword with both hands. The head of a Xianbei cavalryman, but before he could find the place where he fell, a spear pierced his abdomen like a poisonous snake from one side...

The two armies of cavalry charge against each other. There are no other fancy things. What they can rely on is the speed of their own horses and the bravery of the cavalry.

The Xianbei cavalry were better because of their superb riding skills, tacit cooperation, and large numbers. However, the Han cavalry were better because they were well-equipped. The armor on their bodies and the ring-headed knives and iron spears in their hands all caused great harm to the Xianbei knights. . The arrows and swords of the Xianbei people hit and hit the armor of the Han cavalry, often with just a burst of sparks flying, and the Han cavalry did not receive any substantial damage, but conversely, as long as the Han cavalry's swords and guns were When it touches the Xianbei people, a cloud of blood often flies up...

The war horses galloped like the wind, the swords waved like lightning, the war guns flew up and down, blood and severed limbs flew all over the sky, the roars of people and the screams of horses mixed together, dyeing the world red.

Sorry for the one-on-one challenge before battle...

It probably doesn’t exist in the author’s book…

But that doesn’t mean there was no such thing in the Han Dynasty…

According to records, Uncle Lu did this in history. He was invited to a duel before the battle, but Geng Er on the opposite side actually agreed. Naturally, he was stabbed by Uncle Lu with a spear, but he didn't die...

ps: I didn’t want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, I decided to say something more, today is September 18th...

I hope that in the future, after certain individuals change the movement of ethnic minorities southward, they will not change the movement of foreign ethnic groups inward...

Of course, the officialdom is still very orthodox, but how can you stand up to temporary workers who don’t use chicken feathers as arrows...
