Chapter 139: Iron Cavalry Charge


"Wang Shuang" "The humble job is here" "Send an order to our army to attack the Huns patrol before tomorrow morning.

Kill them all.

No one is allowed to go back and report to Huvrault."

"promise" Liu Cheng glanced at the generals and ordered: "Send the order to make food at Mao tomorrow, and the army will gather and march towards the Huns camp at Chen."

The generals responded with a roar: "Promise" The next day, before dawn, the soldiers of the Northern Army finished breakfast and gathered together.

At Liu Cheng's order, they all marched westward along the river bank.

Although Liu Cheng had already ordered sentinels to eliminate all the Huns' patrols, the Huns were very collective.

When the Northern Army soldiers just arrived near the Huns' camp, the Huns still noticed it.

After all, an army of 25,000 people was marching.

It was impossible not to make some noise, and this army had only been retrained for two months.

Liu Cheng still had many training concepts from later generations that he had time to teach them.

The Huns always reacted a little slower and later.

When Liu Cheng led the army to the Huns camp, the Huns were gathering in a panic.

Many of them could not find their leaders or themselves. war horse.

Liu Cheng scanned the panicked Xiongnu army.

Knowing that the opportunity must not be missed, he immediately ordered: "Chen is here!"

Chen Dao's heart skipped a beat, his expression was shaken, he stepped forward to fight and clasped his fists, saying: "I'm here for my humble duty."

"I order you to lead my 3,000 heavily armored cavalrymen to attack the Huns immediately."

"Nuo" Chen Dao clasped his fists and agreed.

He immediately turned around and went to organize the troops.

In less than a cup of tea, the three thousand heavily armored cavalry from the Tunqi battalion slowly walked to the forefront of the military formation.

"Attack" Chen Dao pointed his spear forward and shouted.

The three thousand heavily armored cavalry received the order and began to attack.

The horse trotted forward.

Soon, the trot of the war horse began to turn into a gallop, and the gallop began to accelerate again, and the ground began to shake.

The Northern Army did not have heavy armored cavalry, and the cavalry camps used to be ordinary cavalry.

They were neither light cavalry nor heavy cavalry in the true sense.

Since Liu Cheng officially took over the Northern Army, he began to reorganize the cavalry camps.

Three thousand strong knights and war horses were selected from the entire Tunqi camp.

Training, develop a special training plan, and at the same time redress them, order craftsmen to work hard to build heavy armor and horse armor, equipped with special extended spears, stirrups and saddles.

In addition to these, each heavy armor knight also Equipped with a zhanma sword with a curved blade for close quarters slashing.

Two months of training have made them look good when charging.

During the acceleration process, Liu Cheng noticed that the formation of the heavy armored cavalry was somewhat deformed and loose.

Under the amazed eyes of Jia Xu, Wang Shuang, Zhao Rui, Yang Ru and others, he said: "The training is still insufficient.

The training is still insufficient."

The time is too short.

If there is half a year of focused training, this heavy armored cavalry will definitely look more than this, and the formation will be uneven while running."

Jia Xu, Wang Shuang, Zhao Rui, Yang Ru and others looked at Liu Cheng in surprise.

They were still not satisfied.

How could they be satisfied?

In their opinion, the momentum created by these three thousand heavy armored cavalry was definitely much greater than that of ten thousand Huns cavalry. .

Yuvluo looked nervous.

He didn't even know that the Han army was under his nose.

There is no doubt that the commander of this elite Han army is definitely not a simple person.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such a silent operation.

He quietly approached him with tens of thousands of people.

He has never seen this kind of cavalry.

Even the knights are covered with armor.

There are only 3,000 people, which makes more noise than 10,000 of them.

He doesn't know the combat effectiveness of this kind of cavalry, but he There is no other choice.

The Han army has already He was so close that he couldn't even order to withdraw.

The Han army had a large number of cavalry.

Once he ordered to withdraw, the Han army would surely pursue them.

At that time, the Huns' cavalry had low morale and no food and grass.

Sooner or later they will be overtaken and surrounded.

Humphrey took a deep breath.

Although the Huns under his command had not yet been assembled, he knew that he could not wait any longer.

If he waited any longer, those who had already assembled would be frightened by the momentum of the waves.

They must We must fight immediately.

Only by taking the initiative to fight can we eliminate all timidity in the hearts of men.

"The Han army has already rushed forward.

My sons of the Great Huns are following me to attack the Han army."

Yuvluo did not give a long speech to boost morale.

This was not what he was good at.

He pulled out his scimitar and pointed in the direction of the Han army and shouted.

With a cry, he took the lead and rushed out.

Uncle Qubei and his younger brother Huchuquan also drew their swords and shouted to their soldiers and horses, then rode their horses to follow Yuvluo to meet the Han army.

The Huns are a people on horseback.

Even though they have migrated to the Monan area, they have not changed their custom of living on horseback from birth over the years.

They are inherently good at riding and shooting.

They march and fight, and they are ready for battle.

The charge never formed a neat formation, which was inconsistent with their living habits.

The Huns' loose formation during the charge allowed them to minimize the chance of being hit by arrows, but this time they were destined to fall into a big fall in front of the tightly organized and dense Han cavalry.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the howling cold wind was also covered up by this huge momentum.

The dead grass on the ground was trampled by the horses' hooves so that it flew up into the sky.

The flags fluttering in the wind in the team were ringing, and the Han army's war drums kept beating.

When it comes, it's like hitting people in the heart.

At a distance of fifty or sixty meters, the Huns began to shoot on horseback.

Arrows rained down from the sky and made a clanging sound on the Han army's heavy armored cavalry.

Only a few unlucky people were hit by the arrows.

The joint gaps in the armor were injured or fell off the horse.

The Huns only had time to fire two rounds of arrows, and the Han army's 3,000 heavily armored cavalry, led by Chen Dao, crashed into them.

Facts have proved that when a large-scale cavalry charge into the battle, the loose formation faced the strict and tight formation.

The densely armored cavalry is destined to be smashed to pieces by the impact.

At this time, the overall strength of the army was most perfectly interpreted and reflected.

The destructive power caused by the charge of the cavalry group was shocking.

In the blink of an eye, the front of the Huns was submerged among the Han army's heavy armored cavalry.

Even their leader Yuvluo received special attention from Chen Dao, and he was knocked off his horse with a single charge.

Huchuquan and Qubei felt that this cavalry was unusual before they approached the Han army's heavy armored cavalry.

They had a premonition of death and crisis, and secretly slowed down their charge, allowing the Hun knights behind them to charge forward first. , and they retreated behind the army.

The light cavalry in a loose formation once again proved that it was definitely no match for the heavy armored cavalry in a neat and dense formation during the charge.

Chen Dao led 3,000 heavy armored cavalry into the Huns' loose formation and moved forward in an indomitable manner.

The momentum of the Xiongnu cavalry was so rampant that the Hun cavalry in front could not Unable to stop them, the Huns' arrows hit their armors and were spread out one by one.

The Huns' scimitars made a "dang" sound when they hit their armors, leaving only a white mark, while the Huns in front The person hit the extended spear and was stabbed through the body and hung on the spear.

This group of heavily armored cavalry moved forward like an overwhelming force.

They did not slow down at all from the time they crashed into the Huns' formation.

Until they killed through the Huns' formation, they gradually slowed down, turned around, and then gathered together to form a neat front line.

Arrow formation.

At this time, the battlefield they had just charged through was covered with the corpses of the Huns.

The horses of these corpses were divided into two groups and spread out to both sides of the battlefield.

The colorful Huns flags fell on the grass and were stained red with blood.

The speed of the Huns cavalry slowed down.

They were extremely frightened.

When they looked back and saw the corpses of their companions on the ground, they felt even more frightened.

They had never thought that there would be such a person in the world who was wrapped in iron armor, including The horses were also covered with armor.

Their arrows and scimitars could not cause any harm to such an army.

They were frightened and completely lost their speed before they could rush to the Han army's formation.

Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was extremely serious.

He knew that the Huns' defeat was certain.

One full step of the heavy armored cavalry caused the Huns to lose half of their troops.

How could they have the courage to continue fighting?

Now the key is left.

After the final blow, Liu Cheng raised his right hand and swung it forward fiercely, shouting at the same time: "Bow!"

The mid-step archers in the army ran forward quickly, drew their bows and nocked arrows at the front, and shouted: "Fire the arrows!"

With a muffled sound of "buzz", thousands of arrows suddenly rushed into the sky like a black cloud, and then fell down like lightning.

Countless screams of "Ahhhhhhh" came from the Hun cavalry, and the horseback The Hun knights on top fell off their horses like dumplings.

After three consecutive rounds of arrow strikes, the Huns finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Qubei and Huchuquan turned around and galloped westward on their horses with pale faces.

The other Huns cavalry ran away when they saw their leader.

How could they still have any courage?

After fighting again, they all turned around and ran away.

Liu Cheng immediately shouted: "Cavalry pursuit!"

"Kill!"

Countless shouts of killing came from the Han army, and a large number of Han army's light cavalry rushed out to chase and kill the Huns' cavalry.

Liu Cheng said to Jia Xu: "Wen He, the outcome of the battle has been decided.

I leave it to you to command the infantry soldiers to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded.

I, the general, will lead the troops to hunt down the Huns."

"General, be careful, my subordinates are waiting for the general's triumphant return," Jia Xu said, cupping his fists.

Liu Cheng nodded, took out the Dragon Tooth Pojun Boring from the victory hook, pointed at it, and shouted: "Guards, follow this general to hunt down the Huns!"

"Kill!"

Two hundred cavalrymen followed Liu Cheng in the direction of the Huns' escape.

The fleeing Huns moved quickly.

In order to escape the pursuit of the Han cavalry, they dropped their heavy objects one after another, causing the war horses to Run faster.

In order to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, Liu Cheng and others took off their bows and fired arrows at the Huns who were fleeing ahead.

The Huns' riding and shooting skills were far superior to any barbarians of this era, but they could not return their horses and arrows.

They occasionally They turned around and fired arrows at the chasing Han cavalry, but their accuracy was extremely inaccurate.

Hun knights were constantly being shot off their horses by arrows.

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up with the cavalry skills of the Northern Army cavalry.

As far as he knew, in terms of cavalry and archery, the cavalry of the ancient Chinese dynasties could not compete with the cavalry on the northern grasslands.

Compared with the barbarians, only the cavalry of the Han Dynasty truly and completely conquered the northern barbarians.

This was something that neither the Western Roman Empire nor the Eastern Roman Empire in the West could achieve
