…
"Drive~"
Under the cover of night, Gu Ertai led 5,000 Jianrui battalion iron cavalry and rushed towards the edge of the Han army's formation like lightning.
Due to the depletion of ammunition, the battlefield at this time was silent except for the sound of iron hooves stamping on the ground and the snorting of war horses. Compared to the daytime, it was surprisingly "quiet".
But beneath this peaceful surface, there is a murderous intent lurking.
The Han army hiding in the trench, relying on the dim lights, paid close attention to the movements of the cavalry in the darkness.
Sun Zhong was holding a horse-cutting sword and was lying on the first floor of the trench, his cold eyes staring closely at the Jin soldiers ahead through the barbed wire fence.
Guertai's emotions have long been controlled by anger, and now he only has one thing on his mind: kill all the Han troops.
After today's daytime battle, Ruijian camp can be said to be basically disabled. With Daijin's national power and imperial power system, it will definitely not reorganize a second such elite force.
Since it's about to end, let's just make it happen with a bang!
With the determination to die, the Ruijianying cavalry rushed to the edge of the Han army's formation.
Boom~~
"Xu~~"
At the moment when the war horse collided with the barbed wire fence, a fierce roar broke out.
The tough iron net directly stopped the charge of the war horse, and threw the cavalry on its back into the ditch. The body of the war horse was dripping with blood from the spikes on the iron net, and it neighed in pain.
"Ah~"
Immediately afterwards, shrill groans rang out, and the Jin Army soldiers who fell into the trench were immediately pricked with blood by the caltrops thrown in advance.
A golden soldier got up with difficulty and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, but as soon as he stood up, he felt something heavy falling on his head.
The moment he raised his head, an out-of-control war horse fell down. Before he could react, he was directly crushed under the horse. His internal organs were smashed on the spot, his eyeballs were shattered and he died.
With the strong impact, the first iron mesh defense line finally collapsed, but the cost was very heavy. All the men and horses rushing into the battle fell into the ditch, and there were desperate howls everywhere.
Several Jin Army soldiers had just climbed out of the trench, stepping on the corpses of their companions. Unexpectedly, what they encountered was a neat row of bayonets that directly pierced their bodies into bloody holes.
Fortunately, Gu Ertai's riding skills were superb. After discovering the tragic situation of the cavalry in front, he decisively pulled the reins of the horse to the side. Suddenly, the horse's hooves were like drifting wheels on the ground, steaming up a cloud of dust, and stopped just in front of the trench. Less than half a foot away.
"What a ruthless fortification! Bah!"
After spitting out a mouthful of saliva, Guertai immediately led the remaining troops to find another breakthrough.
However, he galloped around in front of the formation, and sadly discovered that there were miles of barbed wire and trenches in a desperate situation. In this kind of terrain, the cavalry could not play its due role at all.
Only then did he roughly understand the horror of these irregular trenches from the dim lights of the Han army. This was a complete Shura slaughterhouse.
"Pfft!"
Sun Zhong swung his sword and immediately split a Jin Army soldier in half vertically. Before he could stop his strength, he slashed horizontally and killed another enemy officer in the middle.
"Huh~"
Taking a long breath and watching the dense figures flashing in the darkness, Sun Zhong once again clenched the horse-killing sword in his hand.
"Brothers, when you return to the Central Plains after this battle, I will take you to Pinglefang in Chang'an City to have a great time! Drink wine and listen to some tunes! If you like a good family member and take him as your wife or concubine, I will definitely give you a big gift!"
"The general is mighty!"
The soldiers around him heard the news and their morale was greatly boosted.
On the other side, Yue Shaomu stared through the looking glass at the cavalry galloping back and forth outside the formation. He put down the looking glass for a long time and shouted loudly: "Yang Yong!"
"The general is here!"
"Assemble Beiwei's personal guards and follow me into battle to annihilate the enemy!"
"Follow...what?"
"I don't want to repeat it a second time! Execute the order immediately!"
"Here!"
The next moment, a guard handed a horse spear to Yue Shaomu's hand.
Soon, three hundred heavily armed Beiwei cavalry were ready.
"Commanders, follow me on an expedition to kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy~"
"Kill the enemy~"
"Kill the enemy~"
The three hundred Beiwei Guards can be said to be the elite among the elite. The war horses are improved horses from the Western Regions. They carry forty pounds of fine armor. They are good at collisions and bursts, and their endurance is not inferior to that of prairie horses. All the cavalry are equipped with plate armor. Each pair weighs fifty-two kilograms, making them worthy of being heavily armored.
What's more important is that all the Beiwei guards can shoot a two-stone bow on a bumpy horseback. They are absolutely elite troops!
The commander of this army, Yue Shaomu, has a famous name in the Far East Army:
Champion the three armies bravely!
Even a fierce general like Zhang Lie could not survive twenty rounds in the hands of Yue Shaomu, who was definitely the most popular man in the Han army in terms of physical strength.
"Carry Weijun!"
"Attack~"
Yue Shaomu took the lead and attacked the Jin army.
"Come on~"
Yang Yong also followed closely, and the three hundred tigers walked away with blood.
"Um?"
Guertai, who was cruising in the periphery, instinctively felt a hint of crisis. He followed the sound of the horse's hooves and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The Han army actually gave up its defense line and took the initiative to attack?
Guertai's surprise flashed across his face, but he soon regained his composure.
The most urgent task is to kill the Han army's vigor, otherwise the morale of the soldiers of the Ruijian camp will be exhausted.
"Destroy them!"
Judging from the sound of horse hooves, the enemy only has three to four hundred riders at most, and he has at least three thousand riders by his side. With ten times the force, he will definitely be able to annihilate them.
Just when the main cavalry of the two armies were more than a hundred steps apart, Yue Shaomu suddenly raised his hand, and the cavalry behind him immediately separated into two groups.
At the same time, the cavalry on horseback had already bent their bows and unhooked their arrows.
Swish~
The dense feather arrows fell and immediately penetrated the bodies of the Jin Army cavalry, followed by wailing sounds that echoed through the night sky, and the rest was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"Swish-"
Arrows rained like a shuttle, and each soldier of Beiwei's personal guards carried twenty feather arrows. They first used their bows and crossbows to shoot at the enemy to tire them out, and then cut and outflanked the enemy when their power was low.
But Beiwei's guards were not worried about the enemy's counterattack with bows and crossbows, because they found that the Jin Army's cavalry did not know how to mount and shoot at all.
This is a very disadvantageous situation on the battlefield, unless the Jin army has similar wall-mounting tactics, but at present, this is obviously unrealistic.
As one Jin Army cavalry was kited one after another, there were fewer and fewer cavalry around Guertai.
"Damn it! Come on! Dongyi Dog!"
He roared and slapped his horse, and began to charge fearlessly regardless of the lack of horsepower.
However, the Beiwei cavalry always maintained an effective formation, controlled the enemy at a certain distance and began to fire.
Since the plate armor covers the whole body, it seems heavy but actually does not affect the flexibility. In addition, the pulling force requirement of the compound bow is reduced. After shooting seven or eight feather arrows in a row, there is still a lot of energy left to start the next fight.
Gu Ertai's cavalry troops, led by Yue Shaomu, gradually moved away from the battlefield, giving Sun Zhong and others time to rest and prepare the trenches.
And when Guertai's troops chased him for more than ten miles, Beiwei's personal guards had finished shooting the last feather arrow.
"Boom~"
At the break of dawn, Yue Shaomu drew his five-stone hard bow, shot an arrow through two enemy cavalry, and then picked up the horse stick stuck on the saddle.
At this moment, the cavalry around Guertai only had more than a thousand cavalry left due to shooting and being separated.
Although he had the numerical advantage, Guertai instinctively felt that he had been tricked.
Because the horse under his crotch began to breathe heavily, it was obvious that its horsepower had reached its limit.
Because the horses carrying the Wei army were carefully raised and all were tall horses with excellent bloodlines, even after such a fierce chase, they still had enough energy left to charge and fight.
With both sides unable to retreat, the exciting and cruel cavalry battle was once again staged in this foreign country.
