Chapter 725: Armored cavalry!
Hundreds of white-feathered spike arrows rose from the top of the mountain like dark clouds, and then plunged down!
"Puff puff puff"
A series of soft sounds of sharp arrows piercing the flesh, accompanied by the miserable howls of the mountain people, resounded throughout the mountains and fields. There were too many people in Shanyue, and they were as densely packed as ants. Although the formation was chaotic, they were still fighting against each other. This round of arrow rain basically failed, and the charging Shanyue people fell like wheat.
But this small wave was instantly submerged by the tribesmen coming from behind. The newcomers trampled on the corpses of the tribesmen and continued to charge!
"Peng"
"Peng"
Two consecutive rounds of bow and arrow shooting, condescendingly harvesting hundreds of lives. After three rounds, the crossbowmen in the Shanyue people's formation were already within shooting range. They stood firm and drew their bows and arrows.
Liu Rengui shouted: "Shield cover, armor!"
There were auxiliary soldiers and bold craftsmen holding shields to cover the cavalry and put on armor. The "plate armor" created by Fang Jun was not only unreasonable in design, but also had many flaws. Because the time was too short and he only focused on quantity and completely ignored quality, it was extremely cumbersome to wear. If the armor is put on the ship early, it will really cost the soldiers too much energy.
Fang Jun and the two generals were also wearing armor on the boat, and some of the horses around them were also wearing vests.
A force of steely armored cavalry was quickly armed. Although there were only more than fifty cavalry, they had an indestructible momentum!
Arrows rained from the sky, and the opponent's crossbowmen were already within shooting range.
The arrow clusters landed diagonally on the armor, making a clanging sound, but the men and horses under the armor were unscathed. Those without armor raised their shields one after another. The enemy's arrows were ineffective at all. Those who were accidentally shot in the hands and feet could only lament their misfortune...
Everyone was hiding behind the earth beams and could not see the power of the enemy's charge. They could only judge from the louder and louder screams that the enemy was getting closer. Starting from Fang Jun, all the soldiers felt excited and excited! The invincible cavalry, equipped with both men and horses, will face the ragged barbarians. How overwhelming will it be? As for the crossbowmen in the enemy's formation, they are a great weapon against light cavalry, but they are completely useless against armored cavalry. They are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
The roar was getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere behind Tu Liang was a bit solemn, with excitement and tension. Liu Rengui put down the shield on his helmet, exposing only his two eyes, and stood on the earth beam to observe the enemy's position.
As soon as he showed his head, two feather arrows shot towards him like lightning! Liu Rengui was unable to dodge, and only heard two crisp sounds of "dang dang" in his ears. His body was shaken, and the two arrows hit his helmet and his left arm. They were blocked by the armor and fell in front of him. The arrow that hit his left arm was okay, he just felt the impact of the arrow, but the arrow that hit his helmet caused Liu Rengui to suffer. The helmet was tightly protected and the arrow did not penetrate, but the powerful force carried by the arrow hit the helmet hard. Liu Rengui felt as if someone was banging a gong in his ear, which made his eyes dazzled. The twins rang, and they shook their heads hard before they woke up.
It seems that there is a sharp archer in the opponent's formation!
Liu Rengui looked down the hillside and saw that the Shanyue people at the front were no more than thirty feet away. This is the best distance for a cavalry charge. There must be enough buffer to increase the horse's speed and fully demonstrate the impact of the cavalry. Otherwise, once you get close, you will be in a hard fight and cannot use the cavalry's mobility.
Liu Rengui retreated behind the earth beam and shouted: "Everyone mount up and prepare to charge!"
"No!"
With a loud roar, all the cavalry mounted their horses one after another, their armors clanking and their horses neighing. The soldiers sat upright on their horses holding horizontal swords in their hands, calming down and waiting for the order to charge.
Fang Jun raised his horizontal sword, and the sharp tip pointed directly at the sky, where dark clouds were gathering and the situation was changing!
"In today's battle, our Navy's 'Charge Team' will definitely become famous all over the world! You, all of you, will follow me on horseback and raise our swords to kill this group of dolphin-like and dog-like people in the mountains and cross the mountains, and use their blood to show off our achievements. ! Gentlemen, follow me - kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Fang Jun held a horizontal sword in his hand, put down his facial protection, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the war horse Herod neighed loudly and leaped onto the earth beam. Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan were afraid of making a mistake, so they immediately rode their horses to protect Fang Jun's left and right sides.
In front of them were the Shanyue rebels coming like a tide!
Fang Jun raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, brandishing the horizontal knife in his hand, leaping off the earth beam with his horse, taking the lead, and rushed towards the Shanyue people at the foot of the hillside! Behind him, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan and all the cavalry were excited, following closely behind, they charged forward!
The sky was gloomy and there was no sunshine, and the iron cavalry equipment could not reflect the sunlight to form a pretentious halo blessing, but the heavy iron armor gathered in one place, like a raging torrent of steel, sweeping across thousands of troops with a violent attitude!
*****
Wu Duohai was in the front line, leading his people to charge wildly with a brave attitude.
quick!
Be fast!
We must use an invincible and overwhelming momentum to suppress the Tang army on the top of the mountain, making them terrified, confused and heartbroken!
Wu Duohai's eyes widened, swinging his two long legs, and his burly figure rushed to the front!
The arrow rain in Tuliang has stopped. Are you accepting your fate? Or are there not enough arrows? Or was he frightened by this fierce charge? But even if you raise your hands and surrender, I will not accept prisoners!
Fang Jun’s head is a must!
The rest of you, use your blood to pay homage to the souls of the countless dead Sangoe Erlangs!
Huh? Are you finally willing to show your face? Although only one figure emerged from the earth beam, he was shot to death by the crossbowman's arrow and disappeared in an instant. good! The soldiers of these major families are really powerful, and their archery skills are already accurate at such a long distance! Let’s see how your cavalry continues to wreak havoc this time. As soon as they show up, hundreds of crossbowmen can wipe out all your cavalry!
Wu Duohai was in a state of excitement, as if victory was within reach, and he shouted as he ran: "Men, charge with all your strength! Cut off the heads of the Han people and pay homage to our dead people! Charge, charge, charge!"
"Ouch!"
"Go, go, go!"
The Shanyue rebels around him were inspired by him and charged like crazy!
Wu Duohai, whose blood was boiling, suddenly blinked...
What did I see?
Did the Tang army start a counterattack?
Ha ha! Finally refused to sit still and wait for death, are you going to come and die? This time is not like before, when we were wantonly insulted by your cavalry. Now we have archers, who are the natural enemies of the cavalry!
Wu Duohai, who was running, raised his hands high and said loudly: "Crossbowmen, shoot the arrows!"
Why use him to give orders?
As soon as the Tang army's figure appeared on the earth beam, the crossbowmen stopped charging and formed a formation on the spot. He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the sky above the earth beam.
"Let go!" the leader of the formation shouted flatly.
"Peng!"
Hundreds of feather arrows soared into the sky, and a dark cloud enveloped the cavalry charging down the earth beam.
Then...
Like water dripping on rocks and wind blowing over the hills, hundreds of feather arrows fell into the Tang army's formation, but it did not delay the Tang army's footsteps for a moment. The charging formation was still dense and strict, like a rolling torrent pouring down from the top of the mountain, never stopping for a moment!
The crossbowmen were all dumbfounded. Could it be that so many arrows were in vain?
What the hell?
"Get ready!"
"Let it go!"
The second round of arrow rain followed closely, and the locusts flew towards the Tang army like a swarm!
Then... without even a splash of water, the Tang army seemed to be protected by gods, completely ignoring the overwhelming rain of arrows. Their speed was getting faster and faster, and they were about to engage with the Shanyue people's front army!
The crossbowmen are no longer calm...
What's going on? Everyone looked at the leaders of the formation with puzzled faces, and the leaders were also speechless, as if there was an invisible monster in the Tang Army formation, opening its mouth wide and swallowing all the arrows...
They were too far away to see clearly. Wu Duohai was at the front, but he could see clearly!
Because he could see clearly, his eyes almost popped out!
The Tang army was all dark and well-armed, and the cavalry on horseback could not even see their mouths!
Wu Duohai suddenly remembered the military books he had read when he was a child, and a name jumped into his mind - armored cavalry?
They were obviously a group of light cavalry, with only a few officers wearing armor. How could such a fully armored cavalry appear overnight?
Wu Duohai's face was full of disbelief. While his thoughts were still tangled, he remembered the thunderous sound of iron hoofs in his ears. The Tang army's cavalry had rushed into his own formation, like a huge iron hammer, hitting the flesh and blood hard. On the body. Blood splattered and shattered!
Ah~! It’s so tiring to write these chapters, but it’s easier to write about love and touching the little girl... Can you give me a vote to encourage me?
