309 The Second King of the Huns who fled in embarrassment!(1/2)
Shuofang City.
The wind is bleak.
King Hunxie and King Xiu Tu led 50,000 Hun cavalry and five miles outside the city to arrange five cavalry camps of 10,000 people, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army.
The Huns were ten thousand cavalry, an army-level unit. Under them were thousands of cavalry and hundreds of cavalry.
Five Huns and 10,000 cavalrymen, this is a large-scale battle in the north.
The Hun cavalry rode a war horse by themselves, carrying two or three horses next to them, carrying a large number of luggage.
If you can defend this city, you will defend it. If you can't defend it, you will abandon the city and flee and return to the prairie.
...
Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, and the Chu army generals led 50,000 new troops to a short distance from Shuofang City.
There were three miles away from the Xiongnu army formation, and it gradually stopped.
"The 50,000 cavalry camp... The Huns are leaving the city and preparing to fight us in the decisive battle!"
Chu Tianxiu was a little surprised and said with a smile.
For Da Chu, if he occupied a city, he would never leave the city. Instead, relying on a solid city, he fought with the attacking enemy forces with long spears, bows and arrows.
The entire Huns' army left the city, which saved him from the hard battle to attack the city.
However, for the Huns, this was the most normal tactic.
We can't expect the Huns to give up their best cavalry scattering and harassing tactics, but fight against the city-defense war that they are not good at.
Let them shoot arrows on the top of the city, which is far better than to shoot arrows in the wild, rushing.
Tens of thousands of Hun cavalry attacked in the field, which could attack and defend, and would have greater lethality.
Li Yu looked at the Huns and said to Chu Tianxiu: "Husband, the enemy and our army have similar forces. I will lead the heavy cavalry and directly break through the middle?"
The troops of both sides are similar. With the military strength of Da Chu, there is no need to use any special tactics, just go straight.
Chu Tianxiu shouted:
"Okay, my wife leads ten thousand cavalry to the front army, with awl formations.
With 20,000 infantry chariots, each with 10,000, they were divided into two battalions on the left and right, protecting the rear wings of the heavy cavalry and preventing the Xiongnu light cavalry from harassing them.
I stayed at the infantry chariot formation and commanded in the center.
The 20,000 gunpowder guns light cavalry behind the palace, waiting for an opportunity to move.
The army lined up, moved forward slowly, and attacked head-on!"
Li Yu nodded slightly and closed his exquisite face armor.
She was covered with the most exquisite steel armor on her body, even her mount.
She came to the heavy cavalry camp and began to command ten thousand heavy cavalry, forming a sharp knife, and slowly approaching the Huns.
...
As he watched, 50,000 troops of the Chu army slowly approached.
The five cavalry camps of 10,000 people in the Huns were slightly turbulent.
This new army is completely different from the Great Chu border army that they often deal with.
Ordinary Chu cavalry, that is, war horses and light leather armor, are actually similar to their Huns. At most, they are more refined leather armor and sharper iron swords. However, the Huns are superb in cavalry, superb in bows and horses, and have a great advantage.
When the cavalry on both sides encounters, they fight, and it’s hard to say the outcome, it depends on the level of the general.
And the new army of Great Chu in front of us is so different.
The ten thousand cavalry at the center were all covered with steel armor, which was like this from head to toe. As well as the war horses under their crotch, they were like this.
Under the sun, the light is brilliant and extremely dazzling.
These steel armors are extremely tough and not too thick. The total weight added is the weight of a person, within the weight of a horse.
Under their feet, they were stepping on stirrups, and in their hands, they held long halberds.
A long halberd is like a forest!
"This...what armor is this?"
King Hunxie's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva.
He was covered with steel armor, just like a turtle shell, and there was no place to start.
It looks creepy!
However, the Hun soldiers were not too panicked.
It would be great if you win.
If you can't win, just run away. This is their most commonly used method and it is not embarrassing.
"A regiment resists in front, and the rest of the left and right wings attack!"
"Don't panic, don't be in a mess. Stay firmly in your position and wait for the Chu army to come up before launching cavalry and shoot, and shoot while retreating... Keep a distance, fifty steps away from them, don't be chased!"
"Bow and arrow!"
"Prepare--!"
The generals of the Hunnu army of the Hunxie Dynasty yelled.
The Huns raised their bows and arrows in their hands, pulled the full moon bow, aimed at the most powerful heavy cavalry of the Chu army, and then waited for them to enter the range.
Wait, wait!
Their arms were almost sore after waiting, and the heavy cavalry had not yet arrived within their range.
...
Li Yu led the 10,000 heavy cavalry of Chu troops and walked slowly. After a while, he finally reached a distance of 100 steps from the Huns.
If you are heavy riding, you are too high to run for a long time, and you must walk slowly to retain enough explosive energy for the horse.
Of course I won't go too fast.
"Prepare, speed up-!"
Li Yu stared at the Huns with his eyes tightly, and shouted lightly at a hundred steps.
Di'er followed her side.
Ten thousand heavy cavalry finally walked slowly, began to exert force slowly, and started running in small steps.
From slow to fast, it was like drizzling rain... but in a blink of an eye, it turned into a torrential rain.
Heavy armored cavalry charge.
When they were a hundred steps away, they were still light raindrops. After entering fifty steps, there were already strong winds and huge waves, heading towards the Huns.
The heavy cavalry under full speed charge was no slower than the light cavalry.
"Boom!"
A big earthquake.
It was as if a mountain collapsed, and I was shocked.
The Xiongnu light cavalry had never seen the charge of heavy cavalry. This was their first personal experience of what the heavy cavalry regiment was.
This kind of power is much stronger than that of light cavalry.
"shoot--!"
"Click the arrow quickly!"
King Hun Xie reacted from the shock and yelled quickly.
blow!
blow!
Thousands of large-scale arrows flew out and were thrown at the heavy cavalry regiment.
The Hun cavalry in front shot out the bows and arrows in their hands and retreated in a hurry. The Hun cavalry in the rear had not understood what was going on, so they looked curiously and did not start to retreat.
The Huns, a regiment of ten thousand cavalrymen in front, seemed a little crowded and chaotic.
The heavy cavalry legion, the cavalry, lowered their heads and dived, rushed into thirty steps, and had soared to its peak speed.
The powerful impact potential energy cannot stop at all.
A large rain of arrows falling from the sky fell on the steel armor of them and the war horses and was bounced away directly.
At most, a concave point was left. Even a very small number of Xiongnu strong bow shots were lucky enough to penetrate the steel armor, but they were stuck by the steel armor and could not penetrate deep into their flesh and blood. This possibility was slim.
With one round of arrows, only three or five heavy cavalry fell down due to horse hooves, and the rest were unscathed.
Ten thousand heavy cavalry directly crashed into the square formation of a Hun light cavalry and stabbed a big hole. It was like cutting a melon, piercing directly without any resistance.
"Puff~——!"
