Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213 Perseverance 2
The cavalry who have lost their speed are not called cavalry at all. They are not even comparable to infantry. The more than 4000 cavalry rushing forward can be stuck in place.

Although these cavalrymen also understand their situation in their hearts, they can't do it if they are asked to stand still. What's more, there are so many comrades behind them. They feel that as long as they can persevere, the Northern Xinjiang Army can still be defeated of.

It's a pity that they blindly believed in bravery, and also underestimated the combat power of the Northern Border Army to a certain extent. How could the Northern Border Army be so easy to deal with if they could trap their tens of thousands of cavalry here with thousands of infantry.

On the high platform, Gao Shun looked at the deadlock in the distance. Of course he understood what the Huns wanted to do. The cavalry was stuck, and the Huns wanted to replace the infantry to compete with the infantry on their side. Open the distance again, and then continue to charge.

I have to say that today's battle did reflect the bravery of the Huns, and to a certain extent, the ferocity of the proud son of heaven. Unfortunately, their current opponent is the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the commander, It is Gao Shun with super ability.

It was already a major breakthrough for the Huns to dismount so many cavalry and become infantry. If it weren't for the entanglement of these [-] infantry, the Huns' cavalry would have been repelled long ago. How to completely defeat these infantry.

Although the Huns are still a bit chaotic, the cavalry and infantry in the front row of the Huns are about to alternate positions. The sword and shield fighters and pikemen who stepped forward to cover up the kill have also achieved considerable results. At least more than 1000 Hun cavalry were killed. in this chaos.

However, Gao Shun did not intend to let this go, he immediately issued an order: "The order is that the sword and shield fighters and spearmen should line up in place to resist the Huns' infantry. In addition, a thousand heavy cavalry will be divided into two groups, and they will be on the left and right sides of the chariot formation." Line up, listen to my orders, and be ready to attack at any time."

Gao Shun's adaptability on the battlefield is really strong. Originally, the heavy armored cavalry was only used to hold down the ground. Even Gongsun Xu didn't expect to let the heavy armored cavalry enter the field. However, the opponent's cavalry and infantry appeared when they alternated positions This created chaos, which gave Gao Shun a chance.

Moreover, Gao Shun is very wise to only use a thousand heavy cavalry, the battlefield is relatively small, and heavy cavalry also needs space to sprint, too many of them will be bad. Moreover, heavy cavalry is just an episode, as long as they can be defeated The opponent's infantry will do.

Although the chariot formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army is not big enough, there is still enough space on the left and right sides to allow the five hundred heavy armored cavalry to accelerate. There will be no confusion at all.

The [-] sword-shieldmen and pikemen who came forward to cover up the kill had already formed a formation in place. In fact, they had already chased and killed a distance of [-] steps outside the chariot formation. If they attacked further, they might be besieged , Forty steps behind them, there are also sword and shield fighters and pikemen in formation.

The northern border army stopped killing, which gave the cavalry and infantry on the Huns a chance to change positions. Although it was still chaotic, fortunately, there was no annoying pursuit by the northern border army, and the cavalry were less dangerous , they will have the opportunity to retreat and sprint again.

After nearly half a stick of incense, the positions of the Huns' cavalry and infantry finally switched. The cavalry was retreating, and the infantry was standing in line. Infantry contest.

The retreat of the cavalry directly caused a distance between the cavalry and the infantry of the Huns. There is no way, the cavalry of the Huns is still within the care of the archers of the Northern Xinjiang Army. If they do not retreat further, they will probably be shot hit.

After the Xiongnu infantry lined up, they also advanced slowly in a decent manner, wanting to have a head-to-head confrontation with the swordsmen and pikemen of the Northern Xinjiang Army. When the horn sounded, the [-]-blade shieldmen and pikemen retreated immediately, and even the formation was a little messed up.

Faced with this situation, it was originally the best time for the Huns to chase and kill them. However, the five thousand Huns infantry were stunned. Why did the Northern Border Army give up their good formation? Are they really willing to let them fight?

Careful people have discovered that although the 3000 northern troops retreated, their formation basically remained the same. Moreover, they retreated, but did not escape. The [-] people were still facing the Huns. As soon as the Huns' infantry was in chaos, they could immediately form a formation and continue fighting positional warfare.

The ten thousand commander, who only knew the five thousand infantry of the Huns, was so dangerous that he almost fell into the trap of the northern army. The formation of the northern army had been trained for a long time, and their infantry phalanx was just improvised Well, when it comes to formation, I can't compare with the Northern Xinjiang Army at all.

With such a delay, the [-] Northern Xinjiang troops quickly retreated to the inside of the chariot formation, and the Xiongnu infantry, in order to maintain the formation, their speed was much slower. When the army's infantry fought, they seemed to hear the trembling of the earth.

Could it be that the cavalry on my side attacked again, but my 5000 people are still desperately fighting. If the cavalry on my side rushed up at this time, wouldn't they be accidentally injured?The first reaction of many Hun infantrymen was to look back. Fortunately, they didn't see the infantry on their side rushing up, so they felt relieved.

The smarter Hun soldiers had doubts in their hearts. Since they were not cavalry on their side, where did this cavalry come from? Could it be possible...

Before these people could make up their minds, they saw a terrifying thing. A group of giant steel beasts appeared on the left and right sides of the Northern Xinjiang military vehicle formation. This was a cavalry unit that the Huns had never seen before.

Two [-] heavy cavalry rushed to the front and rear of the Huns' infantry respectively. Although the speed of the horses of the heavy cavalry had not been increased to the fastest speed, it was indeed enough to attack these infantry. Now, The Huns cavalry were already dozens of steps away, and there was no way to rescue them.

Before the Xiongnu infantry could react, two steel behemoths rushed into their phalanx. The impact of the heavy armored cavalry was nothing to say, even ordinary cavalry dared not stop them, let alone those who just dismounted Cavalry in infantry formation.

Many Huns showed their last bloodiness, wanting to dismount a heavily armored cavalry, or hacking out the scimitar in their hands, trying to cause a little damage to the opponent.

But what is disappointing is that the defense of the heavy armored cavalry is too strong. Not only are the cavalry wearing heavy armor, they are invulnerable to swords and guns, but even the horses, except for the horseshoes, are all covered under the iron armor.

What's more, it doesn't matter if the weapons of these Hun infantry are not good enough, they can't be cut anyway, and their weapons are also a bit short. The spears of the heavy cavalry were designed by Gongsun Xu and the craftsmen of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Named the Dragoon Lance.

Although only the brave men in the front row could wield the custom-made dragon cavalry spears, that was enough. The dragon cavalry spears were long and sharp, and they were simply not comparable to the weapons in the hands of the Huns infantry.

Many Xiongnu infantry can only attack the heavy armored cavalry by throwing their weapons. However, even if their weapons can hit the heavy armored cavalry, it is useless. Moreover, after they throw their weapons, they are left waiting to die portion.

Amidst bursts of horrified wailing, the northern Xinjiang heavy armored soldiers rumbled over the phalanx of the Huns infantry, leaving behind unrecognizable corpses. Most of the corpses were basically meatloaf, and few corpses were still in human form. .

After the heavy cavalry attacked once, they immediately withdrew into the chariot formation. Before the Huns cavalry could react, they had already returned to the chariot formation under the support and cover of the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, leaving behind the Huns who were terrified and cursing. people.

Nearly [-] Hun infantry, after being attacked by the heavy cavalry, there are less than [-] left. It may seem that this loss is not a lot, but the Hun infantry has lost the ability to continue to line up and the Northern Xinjiang Army. The courage of the infantry head-on.

Moreover, the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army would not give them a chance to breathe at all.

The sword shieldmen and pikemen who had just retreated moved to the rear to rest and recuperate. The three thousand knife shieldmen and pikemen who had lined up in the chariot array opened the distance, and the pikemen hid behind the sword shieldmen. When the heavy cavalry withdrew, a thousand archers appeared behind the sword and shield.

They aimed at the panic-stricken Hun infantry, and then, the arrows in their hands mercilessly shot at the panic-stricken Hun infantry. These Hun infantry who were originally in the middle position did not have that kind of large shield for defense, and some of them had small shields. Shield, but unfortunately the range of defense is not enough.

The rain of arrows fell, and many Hun infantry rolled and cried on the ground after being hit by arrows. However, after the infantry in the front row fell, the infantry in the back row had to face the shooting of the opponent's archers. Otherwise, these groups of Hun infantry will definitely fall down in batches.

Finally, the ten thousand captain who survived by luck ordered the remaining infantry to retreat, but don't mess up the formation, if the formation is messed up, the sword and shield fighters of the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely cover up and kill them. Really will be wiped out.

However, if the formation is not chaotic, the archers of the Northern Xinjiang Army will continue to shoot non-stop. Many Hun soldiers want to run back after being hit by several arrows. They really have a strong will to survive. Unfortunately, the Northern Xinjiang Army but the arrows of the arrows have no sympathy.

Many Hun soldiers were also ruthless. Without shields, they carried the corpses of their comrades for cover, as long as they were not shot by arrows. The disrespect of the Xiongnu warriors, but at this time, how could they care so much.

After some hard work, no more than 700 Hun infantry were safely withdrawn. Many Hun wounded soldiers were still crying in place, but they could not escape, and no one was in charge of their lives. Just waiting for death to come.

The Xiongnu's attack was repulsed, and the Northern Xinjiang Army withstood it, but did the Huns stop there?
