The mighty guard's cavalry held Mo Dao's hand and held a bundle of Gatling fireworks under his arm. The lit fireworks flew towards the Hun cavalry.

Fireworks exploding beside you have no power, but they can scare horses.

The Hun war horses were immediately frightened by the exploding fireworks, jumped up with their front hooves, and came to a sudden stop. Many Huns cavalry were thrown out by the strong inertia caused by the horses' sudden stop.

The Hun cavalry who had no time to stop at the rear directly collided with the horses that stopped suddenly. Even the Hun cavalry with superb riding skills escaped the collision, but when the fireworks exploded in front of the horses, the same fate of the front cavalry was repeated. ’s mistakes.

The explosions of fireworks had no effect on the trained horses of the Wuwei Guards, but the mounts of the Huns cavalry were different.

Animals are naturally afraid of things like fire and thunder. The fireworks exploded like thunder and exploded like fire, which would naturally bring the Huns' horses to a standstill.

For a moment, the two groups of Huns' cavalry were in chaos.

After Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao finished shooting the fireworks in their hands, they each clenched the Mo Dao in their hands and rushed towards the group of Huns who had no formation.

The result is obvious. Although the Huns on the left and right sides each have 3,000 troops, they are like lambs to be slaughtered under the charge of the mighty guard cavalry army.

The Huns, who were originally clamoring for Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao's cavalry to eat cleanly, now had frightened expressions on their faces.

The cavalry of Wuwei Guard came with a huge force.

The Huns wearing leather armor could not withstand such a powerful weapon when struck by a sword. The saying in "New Book of Tang Dynasty" that "whoever wields the sword will be broken into pieces" is repeated in this different world. .

Blood and flesh splattered, men and horses were shattered, and the Huns, who were already in disarray, could not stop the power of the mighty cavalry.

The Huns who originally drove and killed the old, young, women and children in Zitong County of Chen Guo as livestock never expected that the offensive and defensive momentum would be reversed at this moment, and they themselves would be easily slaughtered by Chen Guo's cavalry as if they were livestock like chickens and ducks.

With just one charge, the two groups of Huns at the front had been killed, and only four to five hundred people were left.

The remaining Huns who were lucky enough to survive were frightened to death. They dared to fight with Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao's cavalry. They clamped their legs together, slapped their horses and fled to the rear.

Although the more than 4,000 Huns cavalry in the rear had noticed something was wrong when the formation of their comrades in the front was disrupted, and immediately divided their troops into two groups and rushed to help.

However, the Huns' fueling tactics had no effect at all in front of Zhou Yi's mighty guards.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Therefore, those who are good at fighting against the power of others are like turning a boulder on a mountain of thousands of feet.

Just now, the Wuwei Guards led by Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao had already created an unrivaled military force after defeating the front army of the Xiongnu.

Two teams of two thousand men separated from the rear met them. Although they were not defeated in one blow like the Huns who had messed up their formation just now, they were not much better.

The sharp bone arrows shot by the Huns from behind did not cause any damage to the mountain pattern armor of the mighty guards. They were all bounced off by the armor pieces above. Only a few of the mighty guards who were shot at their horses lost control of their horses and fell off their horses.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi's cavalry formations were extremely loose, which prevented the teammates in the rear from trampling on the soldiers who fell off their horses.

One inch is long and one is strong, one inch is short and one is dangerous.

The Huns cavalry all held short-handled scimitars, while the mighty guard cavalry led by Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao were all equipped with long mo knives.

Therefore, these Hun cavalry who came for assistance passed by in a head-to-head charge, and only a few hundred people were left.

After Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao led the army to turn their horses and pass by the remaining hundreds of Huns soldiers again, all the remaining survivors were killed.

Four thousand against ten thousand, except for less than a thousand Huns who fled in front of the front army, all the remaining people were beheaded under their horses.

The total casualties on the Weiwei Guard side were less than 900, and most of them were soldiers killed and wounded because arrows fell to the ground from their horses.

And this battle loss ratio of nearly 1:12 was something that Chen Guo soldiers had never dared to imagine before.

Zhanmu Tie in the rear immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately sent out 20,000 cavalry to charge forward. The 10,000 cavalry made detours to try to completely divide and disrupt Zhou Yi's rear camp. The remaining 10,000 cavalry were pressing the formation in the rear, looking for After arriving at the fighter plane, attack with thunderous force.

After Zhou Yi used his telescope to see the movements of the Huns in front, he immediately issued a military order: "The front army attacks and protects the people of Zitong County in the circular formation!"

After the four large square formations in front heard Zhou Yi's military order, their originally slow pace picked up little by little, and gradually their 40,000-strong Wuwei Guard army started to trot.

When this group of black-clad and black-armored soldiers full of murderous intent came to the front in front of the people of Zitong County, they immediately transformed into a huge circular formation.

Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao also took the opportunity to lead the remaining cavalry into their own circular formation for a short rest.

Although there was no Wugang chariot guarding the front of the mighty guard infantry at this moment, everyone faced the surging Hun cavalry in front without any fear.

Now, these mighty guards not only have to protect the people of Zitong County in the formation, but also want to give their own commander a great victory. They must not lose the commander's prestigious reputation.

The front row of the circular formation is still composed of three circles of gun and shield soldiers, followed by three circles of crossbowmen. Behind the crossbowmen are infantry soldiers holding Mo Dao.

Zhou Yi has long understood the principle that if you are poor, you will use tactics to intersperse, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

The crossbow archers in the circular formation immediately fired their crossbow arrows as soon as the Huns from the first three directions on the left and right entered the shooting range.

Thousands of crossbowmen each had ten arrows, and under the orders of the observers, they quickly took turns shooting.

The loose string of the crossbow made bursts of pop-pop sounds, and the flying arrows also produced the sound of whooshing through the air.

These crossbowmen didn't care whether they hit the target or not. They just followed the training requirements and shot the arrows in their hands as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the dense rain of arrows was as overwhelming and shocking as the scene in Jet Li's "Hero" movie.

In the second confrontation, the Huns' front line was beaten by a hail of arrows, causing their formation to collapse.

The next second, the shield wall cracked again, and this time it was the turn of the Wuwei Guards infantry holding Mo Dao to rush out of the formation and meet the cavalry from three directions.

A scene that Zhanmu Tie and Attila will never forget in their lives occurred - Chen's infantry soldiers dragged Mo Dao and charged towards the cavalry.
