A row of walking sticks thrust forward fiercely, piercing into the body of the herdsman on the opposite side.
Cut open the muscles, smash the internal organs and pull them out with force. Blood and fragments immediately spurt out.
The herdsmen fell in droves, and the people in the back row didn't even have time to step forward to take up their positions. The long soldiers in the back row of the Han army were already thrusting out, and the cycle continued.
The Han army's forest spears were like endless waves hitting the herdsmen on the opposite side, and the cruel oppression they brought was enough to make any opponent tremble.
This wasn't the end yet. The Tiaodang soldiers who had retreated to the formation took the time to repair themselves for a while.
Some people took out a leather bag and poured a pot of water, some took out butcher's cheese from the bag and ate it to replenish their strength, and some even poured water in public without changing their expressions.
On the battlefield, this is nothing.
After all, it is easy to be nervous when going to the battlefield, and it is normal to want to let go when you are nervous.
There is no sense of propriety or shame on the battlefield, only killing and the pursuit of victory.
The renovated sword and shield soldiers once again performed the duties of the jumping soldiers, passing through the forest of spears of the front row of spearmen, and rushed into the herdsmen of the Aries tribe on the opposite side to create chaos.
The combat effectiveness of the horseless herdsmen of the Aries tribe is still stronger than that of the peasant army in Middle-earth, but their strength is limited.
Facing the fierce offensive of the elite soldiers of the Han army, it was already gradually losing its support, and the turbulent position would soon fall into collapse.
The Aries King in the back stood helplessly watching this scene.
He knew that he might not be able to defeat him, but he never expected to lose so quickly and miserably.
After pondering for a moment, the Aries King made a quick decision and threw out the cavalry in his hand.
The biggest fear on the battlefield is not making the wrong decision, but not making any decision at all.
The result of not making any decisions is to watch the situation become irreversible.
The Aries King is not a playboy who doesn't understand anything, so he will naturally not make such a mistake.
only
His idea was the same as Li Yunze's, which was to hold the cavalry brigade in his hands first, wait for the timing to change on the battlefield, and then invest heavily in deciding the outcome of the war in one fell swoop.
But now the collapse of the front line has forced him to release his troops in advance, and there is no doubt that he has fallen into passivity.
There is no way for the cavalry to directly enter the battlefield on the front line, because the front line has already been mixed up, and there is no room for them to join it.
The approximately 6,000 Aries cavalrymen could only bypass the two wings of the front line formation and try to flank the Shanguo Iron Armored Army.
However, the result was that the Han troops from Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, which were responsible for the two wings, had already advanced and protected the flanks of the Iron Armored Army.
The 6,000 cavalry sent out by King Aries to support not only failed to contain the attack and support, but were in vain to contain the 6,000 troops.
Faced with the crisis this time, King Aries issued a major order to all the vassal tribes in his headquarters.
All men over the age of fifteen and under sixty were conscripted into the army, raising the total strength to a terrifying level of nearly 40,000 infantry and cavalry.
But more than half of them, that is, more than 20,000 cannon fodder troops without even horses, are already stuck on the front line, and they don't know how long they can resist.
After King Aries sent out 6,000 cavalry, there were only less than 10,000 usable cavalry left in his hands. This was the last strength of the Aries tribe.
His expression was extremely solemn, and his eyes crossed the fighting front line and landed on the rear of the armored army.
The real front army, the Great Wall Corps from the eastern captains of Dingxiang County and Wuyuan County, has begun to advance, preparing to be the straw that breaks the camel's back and cooperate with the Iron Armored Army to defeat the Aries army in one fell swoop. Array.
Once that stage is reached, the fleeing defeated troops will destroy everyone's confidence and morale, and the Aries King will have no other choice but to escape.
He took a deep breath, looked past the Han army's front troops who were about to move, and looked towards their rear again.
The head coach of the Han army this time is right there!
There aren't many troops there, probably only a few thousand riders.
Moreover, as the Han army continued to advance, the originally zigzag-shaped front formation gradually stretched into a straight line, causing the infantry to separate from the central army, leaving a gap.
From the perspective of the Aries King, this gap is his only chance to make a comeback!
'If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences! '
The King of Aries may not have heard of this sentence, but he knows how to seize the opportunity.
As long as we can seize the opportunity, defeat or even kill the Han commander on the spot, then this battle will be won.
"Sons."
To hesitate on the battlefield is to commit suicide! King Aries, who knew this well, had little hesitation, and mobilized the thousands of households, captains, and households around him, and asked them to "follow the king to kill the enemy!"
There was a sudden roar all around, and many generals rode their horses back to their formation, mobilizing their troops to follow the Aries King's banner.
The six thousand riders that King Aries sent out before were basically vassal tribes.
At this time, there were still more than eight thousand cavalry remaining with him.
These cavalrymen are basically the men of the Aries Division. They are the backbone of the entire Aries Division. Once there is a major loss.
But under the current circumstances, there is no way out if we don't fight hard.
The movements of the Aries King could not be hidden from Li Yunze's eyes.
Unlike King Aries who relied entirely on his super eyesight to observe the battlefield, Li Yunze, who was holding a monocular in his hand, could clearly see the cavalry group over there. He detoured from the right side of the battlefield and could not see the marching route. To attack the flanks of the Han army, there was only one possibility left.
"Heh, he's coming after me."
Putting away the monocular, Li Yunze felt no panic at all.
In fact, he has been on the battlefield countless times, and he has really reached the point where the mountain collapsed without changing his expression.
The Aries King could see the changes in the battlefield situation, and Li Yunze could naturally see it too, so he could immediately conclude that he was coming for him.
Turning his head to the side, he looked at the master, whose hands were trembling, and ordered, "Put on your armor and mount your horse!"
The scholars of the Han Dynasty were not the trash that could not be lifted by their hands or shoulders.
Being able to stand up as a general and enter the prime minister's position, being able to lift a sword to kill people when mounted, and being able to sit down and talk about Taoism while dismounted are the standard features for scholars in this era.
Even the rotten scholars of the Lianggu sect, who were famous for being corrupt and always wanted to restore the so-called Zhou rites, were able to ride horses and draw bows.
Compared with their descendants, that is really a huge difference.
The master's hands were shaking not because he was afraid, but because he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Going into battle to kill the enemy and immediately win military glory are the most noble ideals of the Han family in this era.
Although Zhu Fuyan was born as a scribe, his character was naturally the same.
As the order was issued, many cavalrymen who had been sitting on the ground to recharge their batteries stood up and began to put on their armor.
Heavy cavalry such as Iron Buddha and Iron Harrier were not popular in this era. The mainstream of this era was light cavalry.
For example, Li Yunze's thousand cavalrymen equipped with steel armor are definitely the strongest voice of this era!
They equipped themselves with steel armor, checked their weapons, and climbed on the war horses brought by the auxiliary soldiers.
The cavalrymen of the Great Wall Legion around them looked at the Zhongshan Kingdom cavalry with envy.
Most of the cavalry of the Great Wall Legion are equipped with leather armor and their weapons are relatively backward. Of course, this backwardness is compared to the cavalry of the Zhongshan Kingdom. Compared with the Aries tribe opposite, it is already advanced across the ages.
After Li Yunze's side was sorted out, they entered a state of combat readiness.
King Aries, who had circled for more than ten miles, finally saw the complete Han cavalry.
The Han cavalry on both wings can be ignored. The cavalry of the Great Wall Corps, which they have dealt with for many years, are very familiar with them.
But why is that big mass of cavalry in the middle so dazzling?
At this time, the sunlight above the head had moved from the east near noon to the slightly west afternoon. The Aries King, who was bypassing the side, happened to be facing the sun again.
The cavalry on the opposite side was very bright under the sun, as if they were glowing.
When he looked carefully, he took a deep breath.
I saw that those cavalrymen were not only wearing extremely beautiful iron armor, but even the tall horses that were obviously carefully selected under their crotches were also covered in iron armor!
The Aries King was completely stunned. He had never seen such an existence before!
Moreover, the armor on these cavalry was obviously brighter than the armor on the Han infantry.
This is natural. Steel is definitely brighter than iron when reflecting light, and Li Yunze specially arranged for craftsmen to polish it.
Visible to the naked eye, the morale of the Aries cavalry has dropped significantly, and many people are shocked and confused.
"Your Majesty."
Someone who was familiar with the affairs of the Han Dynasty came forward and saluted, "Look at the big banner, the commander of the Han army in this battle is the King of Zhongshan!"
"King of Zhongshan?" King Aries was stunned, "Which King of Zhongshan?"
"It is the King of Zhongshan of Han who defeated Danghu Subulu in Dingxiang County last time. It is said that he is the son of the emperor of Han."
"It's him!"
The Aries King was surprised at first, and then happy.
Surprisingly, this King of Zhongshan is said to be very capable of fighting, and that idiot Suburu was defeated by this man.
Moreover, he also invented the van, which really made the entire Xiongnu scratch their heads, unable to find a solution at all.
The happy thing is that if this person is captured or even killed in this battle, it will be a huge achievement!
Even if the Aries tribe is completely destroyed today, the Great Chanyu will allocate cattle and sheep tribes to him because of this great achievement.
The Aries King, who had no way out, ignored the dazzling light on the opposite side, waved the saber inlaid with large gems in his hand and roared, "Kill~~~"
When there was no choice in the battle, the Huns also dared to rush into battle, and they were not just guerrilla raiders.
He raised his hand and dropped the ghost face, exhaling heavily.
Li Yunze drew out his saber and raised it high, then slowly lowered it toward the front.
The cavalry lined up in formation began to slowly move forward.
The horse's speed gradually increased, and the charge mode was already activated in a short time.
Under the galloping of thousands of horses, mud and grass splashed and the sound of hooves was like thunder, making the earth tremble.
A distance of several miles was nothing at all in terms of the cavalry's charge.
The two sides quickly rushed together.
The first ones to greet were all rain of arrows.
Given the speed of a cavalry charge, this rain of arrows usually only lasts one round.
Then there was a direct face-to-face impact.
War horses cross each other, weapons greet each other.
Amidst the chaotic noise, countless people screamed and fell off their horses, and were immediately drowned by countless horse hooves behind them.
The Han army's cavalry was small, but they were well-equipped.
Especially the elite cavalry of Zhongshan Kingdom, most of them use their spears first, and when stabbing people, they let go to avoid the reaction force, and then they pull out other weapons and wield them to fight.
The steel armor they are equipped with has super strong defense, and the swords of the Huns cavalry cannot hurt them.
It wouldn't be a big deal if someone slashed with the sword, and at most it would draw a spark on the armor. But when the Han army fought back, they were basically either killed or injured.
Li Yunze was not afraid of the repercussions, and brandished the iron spear in his hand as if he were entering an uninhabited land, shooting down more than ten Huns cavalry one after another, and his eyes suddenly became empty.
The cavalry who rushed into the formation had already rushed out of the enemy's formation.
