Murong Ke's true mentality is that he wants to die, he is obviously very hesitant and helpless, but he can't show the slightest, the whole army is already a frightened bird, if even he collapses, then he can really only put down the butcher's knife and become a prisoner.
The so-called open area is a wilderness with only a few forests, but there are very dense bushes and weeds, and there are many waterholes.
After the Han army came, they arranged battle formations along the vast forest, and the distance from the edge of the forest was about a mile, and they were arranged in a long line.
There are only a few paths that have been carved out of the forest, and they don't seem to be very wide.
Since Murong Yan's army did not all retreat along the road, they actually poured out of the woods full of trees after coming.
At the edge of the forest, the ground was already full of dead bodies of men and horses, and feathered arrows that were as dense as grass were also stuck all over the ground.
Too many people were bleeding, and the blood pooled into crimson water, which then flowed into low-lying pits and became pools of fishy blood.
The number of Han soldiers who marched like a wall was not much, and it was about a thousand, and they were arranged in three rows, alternating as strikers every once in a while, and everyone and horses were killed everywhere they passed.
If you want to say that the Mo knife is actually a long-handled three-pointed two-edged knife, there were similar weapons as early as the Warring States Period, and the former Wei Wushu used it.
This kind of weapon generally weighs more than 50 catties, and it is difficult for people who are not strong to dance.
Fifty catties of weapons, plus at least sixty catties of armor on the body, is equivalent to a soldier carrying a weight of 110 catties, and it is not enough to have a strong physique, but also to have the necessary endurance.
The ultra-high load is destined to be difficult for the Mo sword soldiers to fight for a long time, the only advantage of an iron body is that they can ignore the arrows, as long as the formation is tight enough, even if they are hit by a high-speed galloping war horse, they will not fall, but it is inevitable to be injured by the impact force.
"Arrow array, blocking diffuse" Wei Junchi found that the Mo Dao soldiers were a little physically exhausted, and it was also the armor and cavalry of the Murong Yan army that began to charge, and decisively instructed the arrow array to block the enemy.
Xie Ai in the rear was even busier, he had already ordered his own cavalry on both flanks to move according to the opportunity, and the rest of the infantry troops in the rear of the Modao Formation crossed the Modao Formation and redeployed.
The speed of the mink cavalry charge is not fast, if you measure it, it is about twenty miles, but the movement is extremely large.
Under normal circumstances, a war horse equipped with heavy cavalry is loaded with three hundred catties of armor, and in fact it is difficult to charge at a speed of more than fifty miles.
The iron armor could charge at a speed of more than fifty miles, which the Parthian heavy cavalry could do, but they rode on unusually strong Arabian horses, but they could only fight for no more than ten minutes.
Later, waiting for the Middle Ages, the mounted cavalry of the European and Roman iron cans, their horses generally carried a weight of more than 400 catties, and the more terrifying thing was that the weight reached about 500 catties.
They walked about two hundred meters, then gradually brisked, and then a small trot, waiting fifty meters from the enemy before they put down their rifles at full speed, and could do Superman for about three minutes.
Of course, because the weight of the armor of the heavy cavalry can only rely on the war horse to move, once it falls off the horse, it will never be able to stand up without help.
The reason why the mink cavalry had only twenty miles of speed was because they hung iron chains full of sharp barbs from each other.
Because of the existence of iron chains, there will be pulls between each other when it is fast, so you can only maintain the most appropriate speed.
"Damn, that's a stroll in the rain of arrows" Wei Junchi is not the first time to see the mounted heavy cavalry charging against the rain of arrows: "Change the coverage direction and shoot the light cavalry and foot soldiers in the rear." ” Unless the heavy cavalry is unlucky enough to be shot through the armor to the eye, or more arrows will either be bounced off by the armor, or inserted into the body, but in fact, at most it will only hurt the flesh and skin, and the arrows will not be able to go deeper at all.
So, if you see the mounted heavy cavalry being shot by arrows like hedgehogs, but they are still jumping around, it is really not a fraudulent corpse, but the anti-arrow ability of the mounted heavy cavalry is really too strong.
The Han army, which was on the first front, was desperately organizing the shield wall, one shield after another buckled with each other, and spears after spears stretched out from the gaps in the shield wall, and behind the shield wall was filled with the sound of heavy breathing, accompanied by the constant shouting of the officers.
"Enemy" Xie Ai's eyes were attracted by the enemy troops swarming out of the forest: "The whole army has attacked" The Han army on this front is only 8,000, and the defense line has been extended to the maximum, but it is impossible to block the entire open land, and there are already Murong Yan's troops rushing out in the position where the Han army is not armed.
"It's weird."
Yuan Qiao pointed to the Murong Yan army who were swarming out, but did not make a roundabout maneuver: "How can it be directly to the north?"
Xie Ai also found the same problem, those Murong Yan troops who were not in the area of their defensive line, whether they were cavalry or infantry, had no intention of participating in the battle at all, and they went north regardless of it.
Yuan Qiao showed a thoughtful expression, and was silent for a while before saying: "The enemy army is like this, it is difficult for us to intercept everything, so we can only put the main target on the enemy's armor and cavalry."
What Xie Ai was thinking about was why the battle situation was like this, and the only conclusion after thinking about it was that the army led by the prince himself had broken the morale of Murong Yan's army, and it was the kind of situation that even Murong Ke could no longer control, so that Murong Yan's army was completely out of control.
It is not wrong to say that Murong Yan's army is out of control, that is, Murong Ke did not order the whole army to break through separately, and Murong Yan's army, which has lost its fighting spirit, will also scatter and collapse.
In this way, Murong Ke can still control some of it, which is enough to show that the prestige accumulated over a long period of time is still somewhat useful.
Just when Xie Ai and Yuan Qiao were guessing what was going on, the mink leopard cavalry had already rushed to the position of the shield wall.
The mink cavalry did not have standard ordnance, and everyone not only had inconsistent armor, but also had a variety of weapons.
Most of the mink leopard cavalry did not have spears, but mainly long arms such as maces, and even long-handled flails and meteor hammers were more numerous than spears.
"Steady, steady, steady" On the side of the shield wall, the officers kept making noises, and they would even punch and kick the ground to make the soldiers hold the shield, in order to make the shield have more wrestling force to resist the collision.
The mink and leopard cavalry, which was not very fast, and when the knight on horseback approached the shield wall for about thirty paces, the horn of "woo woo woo" sounded in the array, and the knights in the first row tried their best to make the mount speed increase, from about twenty miles to about thirty-five miles when approaching the shield wall.
The sound of heavy horses' hooves was continuous, and the hooves of the war horses trampled on the ground, stirring up the green weeds, and the soil became soft due to repeated trampling, and the dust and smoke caused the air.
An even more dull sound occurs when the mink leopard cavalry crashes into the shield wall, that is, the war horse crashes directly into the shield wall, and the knight on horseback slams the shield wall with his heavy weapon, so that the muffled sound continues.
When the mink leopard cavalry collided with the shield wall, only a few spears protruding from the gap in the shield wall pierced the target, and the entire shield wall formed by interlocking each other moved backwards by about half a foot under a series of impacts, and the shield wall in some locations even collapsed directly.
A small number of mink and leopard cavalrymen carrying spears, their actions were to directly throw the spears in their hands, and the spears crossed the low shield wall and fell into the group of Han soldiers, bringing a terrible and short scream.
Murong Ke, who was in the distance, was not very excited to see the results of the charge, and from his vision, he could see that the mink leopard cavalry in the first row only disintegrated part of the shield wall, and then was trapped in place, and the mink leopard cavalry in the second row could only collide with their robes after rushing up.
Many of the mounts of the first row of mink and leopard cavalry were knocked down, and even fell in pieces when the chains were pulled over.
Peng Yong was the head of Yitun, and his time to join the Han army can be traced back to the period when Liu Yan was forced to retreat to the Miaodao Islands.

He was in the first line at the moment, yelling for the spearmen to stab their weapons at the enemy on horseback.
"The cavalry that can't move, even if it's an armored cavalry, it's a target, kill them" The weapon in Peng Yong's hand is a war sword, and it can't reach the mink leopard cavalry: "Several stab a target at the same time, and if you can't penetrate the armor, you have to pick off your horse" The spearhead of the spear is naturally extremely sharp, but the armor on the mink leopard cavalry is also too thick, and the spear that pierces it cannot go deep, and some spears cannot be pulled back directly after being held.
There was a lot of noise on the battlefield, and it had to be a very loud voice to pass through the noise and pass on the instructions.
The charge of the mink cavalry did not stop, it was row after row repeatedly ramming, while they savagely charged, many friendly light cavalry completed a detour and began to attack the left and right flanks of the Han army's formation, and more light cavalry were entangled with the Han cavalry.
"Henggong, the Han army in the rear is chasing too fiercely, and it will soon catch up."
Liu Xiang actually wanted to escape if he had a choice, but as long as he still wanted to mess around in Murong Yanguo, he couldn't do that: "There is not much time left." ” Murong Ke was dripping blood in his heart at the moment, he knew that the mink leopard cavalry was not used like this at all, it should be the rest of the troops to create excellent fighters, and then put the mink leopard cavalry as the end of the battle.
In fact, the equipped heavy cavalry is indeed a branch of the army that is extremely dependent on friendly forces, and it should be used as a fixed sea god needle, and the heavy cavalry with equipment cannot last long to charge the battle, and the heavy cavalry with equipment after losing physical strength cannot even escape, so it can only be used at the moment of a decisive victory.
"It's broken."
Murong Ke's voice did not carry any emotion, and he instigated the war horse to move slowly: "The front of the Han army has been chaotic, and the trumpet ordered the mink and leopard cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield, and the light cavalry tried to chisel through. ” The mink leopard cavalry was charged to the eighth row of arrays before breaking through the shield array of the Han army, after the collapse of the shield wall, the Han army once tried to stabilize, but in the face of its own thousands of pounds of acceleration blessing of the heavy cavalry, no matter how brave the foot soldiers were, they could only be trampled.
"Retreat, retreat" Peng Yong had a tearful expression, and roared: "Let the mounted heavy infantry go on top, and the rest of the people retreat" The shield wall collapsed, and the heavy cavalry charged and could not be blocked at all, and anyone who wanted to block it must be mentally prepared to die under the horse's hooves.
The mink leopard cavalry is a little different from other heavy cavalry, they are connected by iron chains, and the iron chains are full of sharp blade barbs, advancing in a whole row is not only the horses are crashing and the knights are wielding weapons, and the iron chains dragging on the ground pull the corpses and squeeze them down, if they don't pull things, the chains sweep down the crowd, and the blades and barbs on the chains can also harvest lives.
Xie Ai, who was still standing on the nest car, found that the battle situation on this side was developing in an unfavorable direction for his side, not only was the organized shield array broken, but the infantry troops in the front were also retreating inch by inch under the pressure of the enemy's heavy cavalry, and the cavalry on both sides of the flanks were entangled in a group, and more positions were the enemy troops constantly withdrawing to the north.
"We brought too few troops, and the time didn't allow for the construction of the camp."
Yuan Qiao believes that this is a crime of non-war: "For today's plan, we can only drag down the enemy's armor and cavalry at any cost." ” Xie Ai was silent, and their duty was to intercept the enemy army.
And the strategic intention was not achieved from the beginning, too many Murong Yan troops simply fled to the north regardless of it, the enemy army did not want to fight, their troops were seriously insufficient, and they could really only focus on a certain part of the enemy army.
What is more surprising is that the mink leopard cavalry stopped charging at the sound of horns, and the interconnected iron chains were also lifted, and light cavalry continued to pass through them to take over the charge.
Murong Yanjun's new move made Xie Ai frequently look at the direction of the forest, where the sound of explosions still kept coming, and the Murong Yanjun pouring out of the forest also continued again and again.
Yuan Qiao raised the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and said in disbelief: "They actually disarmed in place" Yes, the mink cavalry is disarmoured with the help of auxiliary personnel, and the unremoved armor is placed on top of the pack horse, and to complete one is to shoot the horse and walk away.
Xie Ai had the intention to intercept it, but when he looked up, his own army was completely entangled, and there were Murong Yanjun's figures everywhere, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to intercept it.
"Huh" Yuan Qiao made a new discovery, and raised his finger to the past: "Hussar General" Xie Aishun picked up the binoculars and saw that his cavalry was constantly rushing out of the forest, and Ran Min was riding his horse and galloping in the forefront.
Since Murong Ke ordered the military flag to be put away, Xie Ai's side did not know that Murong Ke had already been present, and only used the flag to inform Ran Min to attack the mink leopard cavalry in a state of disarming.
Ran Min didn't notice the flag sent by Xie Ai's order for the first time, and from the scope of his vision, there were Murong Yanjun everywhere around, and whoever he caught was killed, and all the way he was crushing and killing Murong Yanjun's back.
Waiting for his subordinates to discover the flag of Xie Ai's side, he can be regarded as leading his cavalry to change direction
