At the end of the month, I asked for monthly ticket support, and finally squeezed into the top ten, and I must not fall any further The wind howls angrily, and the dust and haze cover the sun.
Although the distance between the two armies was still more than ten miles, the rumbling of horses' hooves was clearly audible, and the ground beneath their feet clearly began to tremble, just like the roar before the earthquake.
Yang Zaixing immediately shot in front of the battle, and looked westward angrily.
Behind him, the five thousand crossbowmen all bent their bows and arrows, holding their breath one by one, and waited for the battle.
"Pass my military order, Xu Rong led the infantry to camp later, Guo Yan Governor led 10,000 cavalry to respond, Wang Shuang led 10,000 cavalry to the left, Guo Sheng led 10,000 cavalry to the right, and the governor personally led 10,000 cavalry to the center of the three roads to listen to my orders, first try how the combat strength of the Han army is" Yang Xuangan slapped his horse forward, and at the same time gave orders to Wang Shuang and Guo Sheng on the left and right.
"No" Wang Shuang and Guo Sheng received the order together, and immediately separated on both sides like a "human" glyph.
Wang Shuang lifted the big sword, Guo Sheng lifted the Fang Tian halberd, and they all whistled, and each led 10,000 horsemen to follow Yang Xuangan's Chinese army.
The three cavalry maintained a "pin" formation and advanced with a sweeping momentum.
Everywhere I went, the withered grass and hoarfrost that covered the mountains turned into bare barren slopes.
Hearing that Yang Xuan's army was approaching, Yue Fei took the Liquan spear, led 10,000 of the most elite cotton armor soldiers, and responded in the center, while plundering the battle for Yang Zaixing, while paying close attention to the battle situation on the side of Gao Changgong and Dong Xian who were facing the Jingzhou army.
"Boom" The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and there are only five hundred zhang left from the Han army's crossbow phalanx.
Yang Zaixing's face was still unmoved, this was what Yue Fei taught him, at least when the cavalry charged to a distance of more than two hundred zhang, the crossbow arrows fired would kill and injure the enemy.
"All-Army Charge" Yang Xuangan was dressed in golden armor, wearing a lion-faced helmet and a silver-gray cloak, wielding a bronze lance and charging forward like a lightning speed.
Behind him, 10,000 of the most elite Xiliang heavy armored cavalry swept in, and the mountains and rivers trembled, and the sound was terrifying.
Yang Xuangan knew very well that the most critical moment for cavalry to infantry was at the moment of hand-to-hand combat, as long as the cavalry could be rushed into the phalanx, the next thing that needed to be done was to harvest the heads like cutting melons and vegetables.
But before the hand-to-hand encounter, it was the most dangerous moment for the cavalry, and it was also the moment with the heaviest casualties.
Even if the infantry is a lamb, they will fight hard, not to mention that the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and the cost of casualties is inevitable A good cavalry commander should lead the charge first, break through the opponent's defenses, step into the enemy's formation, and the balance of victory will tilt.
In the past year, Yang Xuangan, who has won the title of "Yongliang Overlord" by force, has no lack of courage, and he is even more confident in his martial arts.
"Boom" The iron hooves roared, and the distance between the two armies was only four hundred zhang.
Yang Zaixing's lieutenant was a little nervous, and asked anxiously: "General, give the order to release the arrows."
"Wait" Yang Zaixing clenched the spear in his hand and ordered in an unquestionable tone.
"Boom" The cavalry forward was only three hundred zhang away from the Han army's crossbow camp, and the hand of the Han sergeant, who had trembled with the sound of horses' hooves, trembled slightly, and Yang Xuan, who was charging at the front, felt his face becoming clearer and clearer.
"Archers shoot up" Yang Zaixing waved his spear and gave the first order.
With the order of the commander, the three thousand longbowmen in the crossbow phalanx turned their backs to the sky one by one and fired a round of upward fire.
The arrows rained down from the sky in an instant and fell into the Luoyang army array.
"Jingle Bell" Suddenly, the crunch of the arrows striking the armor sounded in the wilderness like hail hitting an iron basin, like a hail falling suddenly on a winter day.
The Yang Xuangan phalanx that charged at the forefront was all heavily armored horses, not only the soldiers were all armored, but all the horses were also wrapped in a layer of armor.
This is the team that Yang Xuangan has carefully cultivated in Chang'an this year, and it is also the trump card army that Yang Xuangan relies on the most.
Although the distance of the bow and arrow shot from the back is long, the lethality is very average, and its main role is not to kill and injure the enemy, but to slow down the speed of the charge of tens of millions of iron cavalry.
If the enemy's iron cavalry rushed into the infantry camp at the fastest speed, it would be a disastrous consequence, even if it was not necessary to cut and kill the knights on horseback, the trampling of thousands of iron hooves alone was enough to inflict huge casualties on the soldiers of this side.
The real purpose of the archers' upward fire was to slow down the cavalry's charge.
Three waves of continuous upward shooting, tens of thousands of feather arrows fell from the sky, landing on the armor weapons of the Xiliang knights, emitting a rapid metal impact, and the sound of "clanging" all over the mountains and fields came and went.
Under the melodious horn and the majestic drum accompaniment, it is like a battlefield "breaking song".
Although the longbowmen's upward firing had little effect, and according to visual observation, they only shot down more than 100 Xiliang heavy armored cavalry, but greatly slowed down the charging speed of the enemy's iron cavalry.
In the wave of iron armor, those knights who were shot down by the rain of arrows were immediately trampled into flesh by the tide of iron hooves, and in the end they could not even see the white bones.
"Longbowmen retreat, crossbowmen forward" Yang Zaixing waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly.
With an order, the formation of the longbowmen and the crossbowmen was staggered, and the longbowmen stepped back neatly, pushing the two thousand crossbowmen to the front of the array.
"Boom" Yang Xuangan took the lead, leading the heavy armored cavalry behind him to move forward like a tide.
"Shoot" With Yang Zaixing's spear move, two thousand strong crossbows were fired at the same time, and the huge shooting power with a "whoosh" whistling sound came head-on, like a wave of raging waves.
If the longbowmen's upward fire is meant to slow down the cavalry's charge, then the crossbowmen's burst is designed to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.
The powerful crossbow came with the sound of the wind, and immediately shot down hundreds of horsemen.
Even though this heavy armored cavalry was fully armoured, and even the war horse was wrapped in iron armor, it still suffered heavy losses under the burst of the crossbow.
Many armor pierced through the powerful force of the crossbow, penetrating deep into the skin, and blood suddenly gushed out like a spring, and the knight on the horse fell unconscious and fell off his horse, and was immediately trampled into the dust by the iron hooves behind him.
Yang Xuangan took the lead, the bronze lance in his hand was impenetrable, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the strong crossbowmen, he reached out and picked up the halberd from behind the saddle, and shouted "Throw the halberd" With Yang Xuan's order, the Xiliang warrior who followed him took out a more than ten pound-heavy and incomparable halberd from behind the saddle at the same time.
This is a charging weapon specially equipped by Yang Xuangan for this heavy armored cavalry, just to fight back against the resistance of the strong crossbowmen.

"Roar" As the Xiliang knights who rushed in front shouted at the same time, hundreds of halberds fell from the sky, carrying the sound of the wind and smashing into the camp of the Han army's strong crossbowmen.
For a while, countless people fell to the ground with halberds, screams came and went, the formation was instantly scattered by the counterattack, and the crossbow arrows shot out suddenly became much thinner, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry took the opportunity to rush again.
The distance between the two armies was reduced to more than 100 zhang.
"The crossbowmen retreated and repelled their horses" Seeing the Xiliang knight rushing up, Yang Zaixing rode forward, raised the spear in his hand, and ordered loudly.
With Yang Zaixing's order, thousands of ropes were pulled backwards at the same time, and the countless horse-repelling guns that had been hidden on the ground were pulled up in an instant, and a copper wall composed of countless horse-repelling guns was suddenly erected.
The so-called horse rejection gun is a long spear tied together, shaped like a fence.
About eight or nine spears are connected in series, the head part of the gun is fixed with a bamboo pole, and the tail part of the gun is fixed with a bamboo pole, so that it can form a horse rejection gun, also known as the "horse rejection wall".
The defender's soldier hid in the distance, and with a pull of the rope, he would stand up at a forty-five degree angle, and meet the head of the spear right at the galloping iron horseman.
Many Xiliang knights who rushed too violently were not in a hurry, and they crashed headlong into the cold light flickering horse rejection gun, and even the people and horses were pulled into a hole, and the people shouted that the horses neighed loudly, and the iron horsemen who rushed in front of them fell to their knees.
"Step on the Past" Yang Xuangan rode forward, without fear, and ordered the knight behind him to step forward, even if it was his own brother, he had to step on the corpse and rush over.
"Hoohoo" Yang Xuangan galloped, and the long lance in his hand struggled to pick up a horse-resisting wall, and threw it into the Han army formation, instantly knocking down several people.
The lance kept waving, and one after another the horse-rejecting walls were picked up and thrown into the Han army's formation, causing huge casualties.
The soldiers who followed Yang Xuangan were some strong men, who had long been prepared to reject the horse pistol, and at this moment, everyone had a spear, and they all followed Yang Xuangan's gun to resist the horse pistol, and then threw it into the Han army formation.
Thousands of horse-resisting walls were gradually pulled down, and there were casualties on both sides.
Although the Xiliang heavy armored cavalry damaged thousands of soldiers and mounts, it also broke all the Han army's defense line, and it was only forty or fifty zhang away from the infantry phalanx, and all that was left to do was to rush in and chop melons and vegetables.
"Bright Knife Hand-to-hand Combat" Gradually approaching the Han army's infantry formation, Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and the dazzling bronze lance in his hand was waving, and he ordered the whole army to show off the big sword and prepare to harvest the heads.
Yang Zaixing rode forward and shouted: "The horse battalion is attacking forward" With Yang Zaixing's roar, nine thousand soldiers of the horse cutting battalion in a neat array shouted uniform slogans to greet him.
This is a team specially organized by Yue Fei in order to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with a total of 9,000 people in the battalion, divided into 3,000 groups.
Each group of three people, one of whom is responsible for carrying a shield to defend against slashing from a horse, and the other two hiding under the protection of the shield to slash and kill the enemy.
One man cut off the leg of the horse with a scimitar, and when the horse's hooves were cut off and he fell to the ground, another soldier with an axe stepped forward to cut down the head.
With a deafening shout, the two teams finally came to an end.
Thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry rushed into the oncoming Han army formation, brandishing broadswords and slashing fiercely, only to find that every cut was blocked by a strong shield.
Before the Xiliang warriors on the horse could react, the war horses under their crotches let out a heart-rending neigh, and they fell forward one after another, and the horse's legs were cut off by scimitars, overturning the knights on the horses, and they were immediately cut by the big axe on the neck, and the corpses were in two places.
"Yang Yansi is here, the thief will leave his head" In the midst of the chaos, Yang Zaixing's brother Yang Yansi rode his horse and waved his spear, and went straight to the leading Yang Xuangan, vowing to kill the enemy general in the melee, so that the Xiliang army was leaderless. t1706231537:
