The 550th chapter ambush (2)
There were crowds of people on the battlefield. Guo Shao rode his horse and galloped between the square formations, and the shouts echoed between heaven and earth, just like a vast historical trend and the revelation of destiny. The way for soldiers to survive and die is often very far-reaching.
The wind blows his purple cloak, the strong tall war horse under his seat, the black hair shines beautifully in the sun, and the muscle lines of the horse's shoulders are very graceful when they rush. Coupled with the heavy and powerful sound of her stepping on the ground, the sense of power emanates from every pore.
The gap between the square array is not spacious, and the dark horse runs fast. It can always nimblely avoid obstacles while maintaining high speed. Guo Shao's feet and legs are tight and easy to control it, without any need for a horse whip. This wild horse was wild and fierce, but very human. After following Guo Shao for a few years, he had established a subtle tacit understanding and trust.
Even though the situation is not good, Guo Shao hinted that everything is good, everything familiar, trust and dependence on the battlefield are unbreakable!
He drew his long sword, raised it high among the soldiers, shouting: "We have experienced countless adversities, we trust each other to share life and death, and we can overcome difficulties every time. The ancestors of heaven favored the Great Zhou!"
The war horses ran through the place, and the soldiers were boiling. Although their faces were dusty, they seemed to have some kind of soul injected, and human potential could be stimulated in fighting spirit.
The boys trusted Guo Shao, and Guo Shao trusted them when they saw their morale. He no longer felt at a disadvantage, because this kind of interdependent trust could not be possessed by any army. He remembered Shi Yanchao at the forefront. Although he did not discover the enemy situation in time, he fully understood the emperor's intentions. Even Shi Yanchao was not greedy for merit and completely obeyed the emperor's will. This trust made thousands of troops easily dispatched like Guo Shao's hands and feet, and countless people did not have any doubts or hesitation about a person's will!
Guo Shao longs for victory! Because he can't afford to lose, he cannot get off the invincible altar, he needs to win a battle after entering the Northern Han Dynasty!
Guo Shao was also affected by the atmosphere, and was extremely excited, raising his arms and shouting, and his short sentence was powerful: "The warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of strong enemies, and not in the difficult and dangerous roads, because we are fighting for the luck of China and the smooth road for generations."
He did not say that the soldiers were promoted and made achievements. Although many people actually did this for this, they did not need to be promoted and made. They were made in normal times. Everyone knew the rewards and punishments in their hearts and trusted what they could get based on their experience... In such a grand public place, some beliefs that usually seem to be of little effect will play a big role, because high-pitched emotions will form a large atmosphere in the crowd. People may not be rational when nervous. The crowd will have a great difference from the individual's performance!
Guo Shao rushed to the left wing and saw that the Zhou army's horse soldiers had already been dispatched, he continued to shout: "For the people of the world!"
At this time, Dong Zunhui's voice came faintly from the sound of horse hooves: "Fight for the Emperor!" Qianjun was angry and suddenly burst into a magnificent cry: "Fight for the Emperor..."
Between the vast world, the people who vent their emotions shouted, the dark fronts of the two armies were rapidly shortening at visible speed! The horses on both sides entered the high-speed charge stage, which was more than one hundred miles per hour, and every blink of the finger (second) was ten steps away. Even if they were one mile apart, they could only fight each other in a short time!
The soldiers in the front row could already see the enemy's faces and the red tassels floating on the spears.
The emotions full of fear and tension were extremely tense in the speeding, and everyone entered the lightning of life and death. In the crowd behind, the general roared: "Kill the Khitan lackey! Kill!" "A real man died in the battlefield, and the heroic soul will never disperse for thousands of years..."
The arrows flew up in the sky. In an instant, a heavy loud noise rang out everywhere, and the war horses actually collided directly!
The Zhou army charged forward regardless of their lives. Although the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to dodge and the war horses were afraid, they could not dodge at high speed, and there were people on both sides. Under the collision, some people flew directly into the air!
The screams, the neighing of the horse resounded through the ground, and the limbs of the undead war horse struggled in pain in the dust. Between iron and blood, a spark flashed, and the metal tearing of the iron gun hitting the plate armor made people feel sour, and blood splattered like raindrops.
A Zhou cavalry with blood stained on her breastplate and many arrows were inserted, her right arm was injured, and even her weapons were lost. "Long live!" He roared and kicked the horse and rushed towards an enemy cavalry rushing towards him. His mouth wide open his mouth and his face was twisted. The Northern Han cavalry opposite also roared in a huge shout, and hurriedly lifted the cherry gun and pointed it at the man. With a loud "clang" sound, the spearhead pierced the chain mail under the plate armor and inserted it into the man's abdomen! But the shoulders of the war horses also collided violently. The wounded Zhou army rushed to the Beihan soldiers with inertia, and both of them screamed and fell off their horses.
Zhou Tong, the general who fought against the vanguard (the teacher who taught Guo Shao's archery), then rushed over in person. Even he himself was shocked by the scene he saw. Most of the first wave of cavalry had been lost. There were many people and horses on the battlefield, which were extremely tragic, and the rest penetrated into the depths of the Northern Han army's horse soldiers.
Zhou Tong bulged his eyes and held the spear tightly. At this moment, he could not have the idea of retreating at all. He could not let down his brother who had already sacrificed his life to charge! The horse's hooves were still roaring, and Zhou Tong shouted: "Sacrificing his life for the country is today!" So he led his iron-armored soldiers to rush straight away.
At that time, Dong Zunhui, the young commander of the left wing, also led the horse soldiers to counterattack the enemy's large horse team from the inside. Dong Zunhui held a good bow decorated with gold and gems, and had thick and exquisite iron armor all over his body. However, no matter how noble he was born, at this moment, there were only barbaric and rough killings, only dust, dry grass and desert all over his eyes!
The bustling Tokyo city is already in a distant place, and the silk and bamboo orchestra are no longer there, only the sound of horse hooves and neighing! Dong Zunhui shouted: "The strong live, the weak live!"
The sweeping horse team rushed around like rushing mudslides. Two horse soldiers in opposite directions approached their shoulders, and the bowstrings suddenly crackled like fried peas, and arrows fell like rain.
Dong Zunhui skillfully picked up the bow and arrow. At this moment, the enemy's horses rushed in the front side, which was a perfect angle than the front side! With the speed of the war horses on both sides, the bow and arrow have greater lethality, and they can shoot from the oblique side and shoot randomly.
Dong Zunhui's body was very upright on the horse, and the bow-drawing movement was full of strength and grace. His posture was paused slightly when he pulled the bow and sat on the horse. His figure seemed like a statue! "Bang!" It was clear that his target was dropped, which was very accurate. Young generals who came from a family of military generals had been well-trained since childhood. Every movement was organized and very effective.
The light cavalry of riding and shooting are different from the horse army that rushes to the formation. They not only need the courage to not be afraid of death, but also keep calm and maintain physical endurance as long-range soldiers. Although the movements of Dong Zunhui's personal soldiers are different from each other, the movements are almost the same. In order to save physical strength, the rider with excellent physical strength does not have any extra fancy moves.
In both sides, a large number of knights were constantly falling off the horses, and the cavalry team added many empty horses to run with the army. In this kind of competition, close-range riding and shooting, both sides had high-speed horse speed, and the ability to pierce the armor! The cavalry of the Northern Han army suffered heavy losses. Although the Zhou army's cavalry was also light cavalry, the people were equipped with plate armor, and even important parts of the horse were protected by leather armor. The Zhou army's plate armor was generally not able to penetrate, but if they were hit by a strong bow, they would still be shot through.
With a "ding" sound of metal hitting, Dong Zunhui obviously felt a heavier on his shoulder, but he didn't even look at it. He calmed down and put the arrows he took out, and grabbed the confrontation at this moment and kept catching the continuous shooting.
The left wing had already formed a regiment, and the Northern Han army originally intended to surround the flanks of the Zhou army with advantage. However, the Zhou army launched a recoil. The cavalry had strong tactical maneuvers and kept moving during combat, so it was not so easy to be encircled. At this moment, the entire wilderness seemed like a big vortex, and the horses and soldiers on both sides were rushing back and forth, not a big melee, but they were already intertwined.
...From the front, Shi Yanchao didn't tremble, and even ignored tactics at all. He had led his army to directly attack the central infantry formation of the Northern Han Army from the front!
Boom boom boom... In front of the soldiers of the Northern Han Army, a group of heavily armored cavalry rolled in, even the horses had iron armor! The roar of iron hooves trampling on the ground, the terrifying momentum, the feeling of the Northern Han Army infantry holding a spear is unspeakable. At this time, people will instinctively question whether the flesh and blood can firmly block the torrent of the iron cavalry here?!
However, the ones deployed in front are usually heavy armored elite soldiers, and the phalanx of the Northern Han Army's infantry was still there to prepare to face the enemy. The first row was soldiers holding square shields and spears. The square shield was placed on the ground, and the spear was mounted above the shield; the second row extended the spear from the gap in the middle of the row, and the spear was against the ground, and the spear was pressed against the ground with its feet. The army crossed the horse and steadily held the spear; the third row also extended the spear, but the extended parts were closer. The three rows were arranged staggered, making the square array look like a huge machine covered with iron spears.
In the northern region, cavalry is crisscrossing and cavalry, as the strongest group of troops, has always been the most valued and guarded formation; there are also many infantry in various countries, but infantry guarding cavalry more than in the south!
The square formation was ready, and the torrent in front rushed over from far to near, from slow to fast, and savagely. "Ah...ah..." Before the Zhou army and the horse soldiers rushed to the north, the Northern Han army had already made a torture cry. Under the extreme psychological pressure of extreme tension, people could not help but roar.
