Five hundred dragon guards attacked, and nearly three thousand light horsemen in the rear were waiting for Deng Heng's military order.
That's right, the heavy cavalry was originally a kind of military for opening the way, Deng Heng knew that he had been pressed and beaten by the Han army since last night, and he continued to wear it out for another morning, which greatly suppressed the morale of his army.
Deng Heng couldn't change the advantages of the Han army in battle, after all, the Han army's weapons and armor were sharp, and the Han soldiers had a strong desire to fight and a firm will, these things didn't mean that they could be changed if they wanted to.
Since he was in a disadvantageous state in the battle, Deng Heng simply played the ruthlessness that a general should have, and first took people's lives to cultivate the arrogance of the Han army.
Originally, cultivating arrogance was a relatively time-consuming thing, and it would take several days or even a month or two for the side to lose again and again, but Deng Heng couldn't lose the front-line camp, so he could only do it in a hurry. took a unit that did not have much desire to participate in the war as a bait, and sure enough, it lured the Han army to pursue, and the five hundred Longteng guards collided regardless of the enemy and me, engulfing the pursuing Han saber and shield soldiers, and regardless of whether they were all killed, but that was already the best result of the Shijie Zhao army from last night to now.
Cui Xuan saw that the Longteng guards were destroying and drowning the Han saber and shield soldiers out of the formation, and said excitedly: "Military master, order the light cavalry to attack."
Deng Heng hesitated, his vision was too bad, and then he had presbyopia, so he really couldn't tell the structure of the Han army's main formation, but he received a report or a long-range force such as archers, but after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes.
Cui Xuan urged: "It's come to such a point, what is the military master hesitating?"
That's right, now that the bureau has been set up and the first step has begun, and Deng Heng has begun to give orders after trying first, the three thousand light horsemen in the valley immediately swept out.
After he gave the order, he thought again: The Han army has always been in the upper hand, using armor and cavalry to break through their defenses and rush straight forward.
The Han army came here for less than a day, and even if the camp was fortified, it should not be very perfect, which was the main reason for Deng Heng's decision, whether it was a night attack or a daytime situation.
If more time is set aside and the Han army really gains a foothold, being able to fight a stalemate has already made Deng Heng think that it is acceptable, but seeing that the Han army can't wait to launch an attack, and let the Han army enter the camp to advance, it is most likely to be blocked into the mountains.
No general wants to be in a passive position when commanding a war, because being passive means being suppressed, and often from the moment of being suppressed, he is in a disadvantageous situation, and it is very difficult to get it back.
The dragon guards, who were carrying heavy responsibilities, of course, heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves behind them, and knew that it was the light cavalry behind them that was dispatching as planned.
It is in this way that they still move forward bravely with tricycle crossbows, and they are not even afraid to see the rising "dark clouds".
Isn't it just an arrow, when is it equipped with a heavy horse, afraid of arrows?
Well, the Han army is so not afraid of death, in the face of the heavy cavalry, they also organize a gun array, I don't know that the gun array is the same as the heavy cavalry, as long as there is a wave of heavy cavalry lined up and crashing in, there will be a cavalry slaughter of the infantry It is a relatively common formation for infantry to form a gun formation to resist cavalry, but such a formation does not mean that it can be formed if you want to, and you need to have enough courage for the soldiers, after all, the sound of rolling horse hooves is too loud, and it is difficult to experience the horror of cavalry charging without facing each other.
The gun array can only withstand a round of cavalry impact, whether it is a light cavalry or an iron cavalry, after all, it is just a gun array, and it is not a great wall of steel.
The crossbows had a range of up to three hundred paces, and the first dark cloud of dense crossbow arrows fell, most of which of course missed, and their arrows were stuck into the ground, and the tail feathers trembled a few times before they came to a standstill.
Only a very small part of the crossbow arrows that hit the Dragon Guardian were inserted in the gap of the armor, which was the joint part, and most of them were bounced off when they collided with the armor.
Unless it's a shot in the eye, or even a joint hit will only hurt the Dragon Guardian, not fatal.
There were more than 1,500 crossbow arrows, and after one round, only four Dragon Guardians were overturned, the second round was a little better, and eleven Dragon Guardians were overturned, and the third round was not a single gain.
The Dragon Guards continued to gallop, and the knights on horseback were already roaring, and when they were charging into a distance of fifty paces from the Han army, a new round of crossbow arrows actually shot over more than twenty people at a time, making the throats of those roaring knights seem to be suddenly choked by something.
If you look at it from the perspective of the Han army, you can see the charging stone pillars and heavy horses, and the front of the people and horses is full of arrows, so that they all look like hedgehogs.
There is nothing strange about the body full of arrows and not dying, those arrows are probably the arrows with a little nail on the armor, if they shoot through, at most they will stick to the silk underwear inside, and it is estimated that not even a drop of blood will be shed.
If you pay attention to the joint area where you are shot, it doesn't seem to affect your movement too much, because the joint of the armor has several layers of silk in addition to iron rings.
Silk is definitely an important strategic material, if there are enough conditions, wearing a few more layers of silk is not to show off wealth, it is several layers of silk made of underwear texture is quite tough, even if the arrows shot from a long distance can penetrate the armor, often can not continue to penetrate the underwear.
When an arrow fired at close range penetrates the silk underwear, the arrow cluster will be wrapped in silk and enter the body, which effectively prevents the spread of the toxins that the arrow cluster may carry, and the silk wrapped arrow cluster can be easily removed, and the barb on it will not work.
Therefore, whether it is the Romans or the Central Asians, they really pursue silk not only to show off, but they know that silk can save lives many times Silk anti-arrow, that also has a limit, the strength of the strong crossbow fifty steps is extremely strong, and then there is the arrow is a three-edged flat armor-piercing form, which overturned more than twenty dragon guards at a time, and a round at an interval of thirty steps directly shot over more than fifty.
The Han army's crossbows fired about 100 large crossbow arrows, the strong crossbow troops shot about 4,500 crossbow arrows, and the crossbowmen fired more than 6,000 crossbow arrows.
Not counting the crossbows, only the crossbow arrows fired by the strong crossbow and the repeating crossbow, the loss caused by the 10,000 and 500 crossbow arrows to the Dragon Teng Guardian was even more than a hundred The remaining 400 or so Longteng guards continued to charge forward, but the light cavalry behind them became the new target of the Han army.
The Bed Crossbows fired infrequently, and they were already making way for other classes, and their positions were quickly filled with a new batch of pikemen and shield men.
On the left and right flanks, the tower shield soldiers and spearmen who moved to this position from the center were erecting shield walls, and they were always keeping an eye on the enemy cavalry, ready to meet the light cavalry from the Shijie Zhao army.
The Han sergeant in the middle.
Some of them have no expression on their faces, they are system pikemen, although they have intelligence, but they still look wooden.
The pikemen of the non-system soldiers, the expressions on their faces were much more exciting, and some even urinated directly on the spot, but no one meant to laugh at anyone, and no one even paid special attention to it at all, everyone stared at the rushing enemy armored cavalry.
In view of the fact that the soldiers of the system have been able to communicate, in peacetime they are all under the system, but in wartime they will carry out the maximum number of collocation and coordination, it should be said that this effect is very good, at least from last night to noon, it is by relying on the system troops to "play" with the regular troops, the war will seem so rhythmic.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Nope."
"What's your name?"
"I don't have a name yet."
"Ga" Liu Yan is too busy, how can he give the names of the system units one by one, it would be easy to do it if there is a dictionary, and directly give a few surnames to the system units to turn the dictionary, the problem is that there is no dictionary now.
Not only is there no dictionary, but there is no thousand-character text and no three-character scripture.
More realistically, the characteristics of the system troops who are not afraid of death still exist, and the death rate is really high, so the cold-blooded point of the name is that it is really not too much of a matter.
There are officers who have been shouting: "Steady" The mounted heavy cavalry and the infantry gun array were about to collide, and the Hu people light cavalry who followed behind the Dragon Teng Guardian on the other side suffered from several waves of diffuse fire from the strong crossbow, and the Dragon Teng Guard ignored the crossbow arrows from a long distance.

Deng Heng and Cui Xuan and other generals of the Shijie Zhao Army who were standing on a high place to watch, their faces were already pale at the moment, and several people with poor psychological quality were even incoherent and didn't know what nonsense they were talking about.
"The loss is too great" Cui Xuanru mourned and said: "If we can't complete the chiseling, we will definitely be heavily punished" That is the Dragon Teng Guard, which is equivalent to the strongest force of Shijie Zhao State, and the loss of a hundred is really not a small amount, it is a lot.
In addition, Deng Heng is equivalent to putting all the cavalry he brought into battle, if they do not complete the set goal, they will lose their mobile troops, and they should really be blocked in the mountains.
This side stared wide-eyed, and the Dragon Guardian over there could be regarded as colliding into it.
Although the Dragon Guardian is equipped with a heavy horse, it does not mean that it will be stupidly collided, and how to charge into battle is actually very strategic.
They had a division of labor in the gallop, and a very small number of them spread sideways, forming a scattered straight line, and it was up to them to crash into the gun array and open the way for their comrades in the rear.
The second batch of Dragon Guards is close behind the first batch, and their formations are also spaced apart, but the number of horizontal planes will be smaller, and the number of straight lines will be larger.
Perhaps it was the moment the first mounted heavy horsemen crashed into the gun array, as if the whole world had slowed down, and those around could see the spears either snapping or piercing into the armor, and the movement seemed to be extremely slow Ask for a subscription, help pull a little order, please:
