I’m The King Chapter 1027: : East to West (20)
This is a contest between the strongest cavalry and the strongest infantry in the world. The Qin army has three thousand soldiers. The area of this defensive position is extremely small, and He Lanxiong, who has an absolute advantage in numbers, can't rush forward. He can only surround the opponent in groups and attack forward in groups. Each time the team deployed is no more than the opponent. .
The arrows in the sky were raining like rain, and the cavalry who were on the attack stretched their crossbows with their stringed arms and pulled the trigger. The powerful arrows shot out like lightning with a sharp whistling sound, and the wall of flesh was instantly covered. Even though there were shields in the densely packed position, many Qin soldiers fell to the ground, especially the horses surrounded in the center of the position. They were unobstructed, and there were not a few who were hit by the arrows. The life of the horses was long. After being hit by an arrow, he could not die for a while, and ran around in the battlefield, causing a lot of chaos immediately.
"Kill the horse!" Yan Wei shouted sharply.
Although the eyes of the cavalry who acted as archers in the formation showed unbearable expressions, these horses are their partners and comrades-in-arms, but military orders cannot be disobeyed, and the military discipline of the Qin army is especially strict. It is to draw out the knife, stab it straight into the neck of his own horse, and put every horse, whether it is injured or not, on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, these dead horses became another meat shield on the wall of flesh.
He Lanjie only used his legs to control the horse, and sprinted around the opponent's position. Every dozens of steps he ran was an arrow shot. He Lanxiong's Dongye cavalry inherited more of the traditions of the Xiongnu cavalry. Running and shooting is their specialty. Facing such a hedgehog-like opponent, what they are best at is running around in circles, slowly shooting with feathered arrows. Kill the opponents indiscriminately, until the opponents can't bear the loss and lose their formation and flee in all directions, then use horsepower to chase the opponents, and kill the enemies one after another in the process of driving away.
He Lanjie's arrow skills are extremely accurate, and every arrow shot will probably knock down an enemy, but it is a pity that the riding bows they use are relatively soft, and the quality of the Qin army's armor is not bad. It is very difficult to make the opponent lose combat power if he does not hit the vital point, so it is often seen that a Qin soldier is pierced like a hedgehog, running back and forth on the ground, and it is extremely jubilant.
The crossbow arm is powerful, but it's a pity that it's hard to grasp the accuracy. After using the crossbow to cover the attack in the first wave of shooting in the charge, I switched to the riding bow.
In the Qin army's position, Yan Wei's helmet was hit by a feathered arrow, hanging dangling on it. It was a gift from He Lanjie, but unfortunately it was a little higher, if it was lower, You can hit the door directly, and Yan Wei will have to hang up.
"Crossbow!" Yan Wei yelled, unlike the arm crossbow of the Han army, the Qin army used a foot crossbow, which is quite powerful, but it is more troublesome to string than the arm crossbow, and it is impossible to aim and shoot individually , can only cover a large number of shots.
In the center of the position, several hundred cavalrymen sat on the ground, stepped on the crossbow with their feet, buckled the crossbow arrows to the strings, then lifted them up, let out a shout, and aimed at the place where the cavalry was densest.
With a sound of collapse, a cloud suddenly appeared in front of the Qin army.
"Scatter!" He Lanjie yelled, and the gathered cavalry suddenly dispersed, but the speed of fire of the Qin Army's crossbow was also strange. Few people turned over and fell off the horse.
The moment the Qin army in the formation stood up and shot the arrow, the Han army in several other directions immediately seized the opportunity, and the feathered arrows were like meteors, like waterfalls, and they shot over. The Qin army, who stepped on the crossbow arrows, immediately fell dozens of people.
Circle after circle, the Qin army suffered more and more casualties. Facing the cavalry running at high speed, their bows and arrows had limited lethality. It is solid, and the number of shields is sufficient, but it cannot completely block the sharp arrows from outside.
"Hao Lianpo, prepare to attack!" He Lanxiong looked at the slightly shaken Qin army's position, turned his head and ordered to Hao Lianpo beside him.
"Understood!" Hao Lianpo rode his horse excitedly. Unlike He Lanjie's division of cavalry, most of his subordinates used heavy weapons, which were specially used to break through formations.
"Kill!" Hao Lianpo galloped out while roaring fiercely, waving a chain hammer in his hand, spinning like a windmill, whistling above his head. Hao Lianpo's troops attacked, congratulations Lan Jie's troops circled counterclockwise and returned to the main formation.
"Broken!" The chain hammer in Hao Lianpo's hand flew out with the sound of the wind, and fell towards the Qin army's position. At the same time, hundreds of similar chain hammers also flew up at the same time. The center of the position.
After these chain hammers weighing more than ten catties were swung into the air with the help of horsepower, the impact brought by them weighed a hundred catties, and they fell from the sky. How can manpower stop them? , the Qin army raised their shields to intercept them, but when the shields were broken with hammers, the people's tendons were broken.
Throwing the chain hammer in his hand, Hao Lianpo took off a noose from the side of the saddle, waved it above his head, and ran wildly around the Qin army's position. A Qin army archer had just climbed up the meat wall, holding a bow and arrow to Hao Lianpo took aim, Hao Lianpo shouted loudly, and the noose in his hand flew out. The moment the Qin Jun's feathered arrow just flew out, the noose had already landed on him, with a whoosh sound, The feather arrow flew past Hao Lianpo's body, the horse sped up, the Qin Jun let out a scream, he was pulled up into the air, and flew out of the Qin Jun's position.
Hao Lianpo's hand loosened, and this Qin Jun was smashed to the ground with the noose, and his horse's hooves were flying. Horseshoes stepping back and forth, instantly lose human form.
"Break the formation!" Hao Lianpo roared angrily.
A team of cavalry armed with hammers, big sticks, and heavy knives smashed their horses forward. Their horses were blindfolded before attacking, and they couldn't see everything in front of them. The wall of meat in the car city rushed straight past.
The sound of rumbling loud noises can be heard endlessly. These war horses crashed directly on the fleshy wall of the car city. Although their tendons were broken and broken, and they fell to the ground, the entire fleshy wall of the car city was also shaken by the impact, and they crawled on it. Soldiers of the Qin army fell from above one after another.
The moment the horse hit the fleshy wall of the chariot city, the cavalry on the horse jumped up, waved the heavy weapons in their hands, and fell from the air into the Qin army's position.
Heavy weapons fell, and the flesh and blood were stabbed horizontally, but these warriors who jumped into the air did not have time to make a second blow. In the arms of these people, the short knife in his hand stabbed into their chest and abdomen fiercely, and the blood was sprayed all over the heads and faces of the soldiers of the Qin army as the short knife was pulled out.
The Qin army's position was crumbling under Hao Lianpo's brutal attack, but it still stood firm. Groups of people rushed to them, and then died silently in the formation. The battle was especially cruel, and the death rate of both sides immediately rose in a straight line.
"Commander, look!" He Lanjie stared at the end of the vast grassland, under the blue sky, around them, puffs of wolf smoke stretched straight up into the sky, and the people directly opposite them He Lanjie felt a little uneasy as the smoke from the Qin Army's formation was facing each other far away.
"Using this Qin army as a bait, do you want to eat me?" He Lanxiong sneered, "The scouts have already found out around us, and each Qin army only has about 3,000 people, and they are all infantry Lord, rely on them, want to stop us, dreaming, Ah Jie, don't worry, after eating this Qin army, we are retreating comfortably, on this grassland, no one can stop us. "
"Understood, but Commander, let me lead the troops up too. The Qin army has obviously been beaten to pieces by Hao Lianpo. If you try harder, they will collapse. As long as they break through their chariot formation, the Qin army will be defeated." Stocking the Qin army is a dish in our bowl." He Lanjie said.
He Lanxiong nodded slightly, "Alright, eat them earlier, we have more time to evacuate here."
The attack intensity of the Han army suddenly increased, and the Qin army's position was tight everywhere. After holding on for half an hour, Hao Lianpo finally took the lead in smashing over a car formation, and rushed in roaring. This was the Qin army's greatest reliance It ceased to exist. The Han army poured in from the torn gap.
The two sides started a face-to-face hand-to-hand fight.
"He Lanxiong must look down on our troops who surrounded him, because they are not only large in number, but also far away from each other, so it is difficult to form a mutual response." , Li Xin smiled and said to Dan Yu, "But what he doesn't know is that the purpose of these troops of mine is to delay his action and catch his whereabouts. No matter which direction he goes, he will hit him. One of them, and the next battle will slow down the speed at which he leaves the battlefield again. What I fought for was this time. I paid a huge price in order to arrange a bigger and tighter one. The encirclement, He Lanxiong forgot, I have an army of one hundred thousand. Even if he eats up the bait and abandonment of these troops, as long as I kill him, I will still make a lot of money."
"The general is wise!" Dan Yu said sincerely. Outside the encirclement circle that had already been formed, Li Xin mobilized the army calmly, forming a stricter and tighter army that covered tens of miles in radius. No matter which direction He Lanxiong goes, he will eventually bump into this encirclement. As the encirclement of the Qin army tightens step by step, He Lanxiong's living space will be compressed a little bit, and he will eventually become Li Xin's prey. ( To be continued)
