Thirty thousand cavalry attack the infantry formation!

The shock it brings is nothing compared to the roaring mountains and tsunami.

Even with Zhuge Liannu in hand, the hands of many soldiers could not help but start to tremble.

This is the survival instinct screaming at them, warning them not to try to compete with the endless herd of horses as humans!

However, both the frontier army and the Northern army that came with Li Guang's support had experienced hundreds of battles and were all too familiar with the instinctive reaction to cavalry.

They took deep breaths again and again, staring closely at the knight on the horse to ignore the fear deep in their hearts.

Even Tang Qi, when he first saw the scene of 30,000 cavalry charging at the same time, was so shocked that his face became stiff, his mouth went dry, and he didn't recover for a long time.

The performance is worse than the war horse under the crotch.

Chen You calmly shouted to the soldiers to keep quiet, and stared at the front with a pair of eagle eyes motionless, which formed a sharp contrast with Tang Qi, the "new recruit".

The great thing is that even if Mount Tai collapses, it will not change its color.

This has nothing to do with courage and will, but only with battlefield experience.

It is difficult for modern people to imagine the visual impact that 30,000 cavalrymen charging into battle at the same time would bring.

This is just a poorly equipped mounted archer!

If it were a heavy cavalry, it is estimated that any modern person would not be able to sit on the horse honestly, and his hands and feet would have become limp.

After Tang Qi came to his senses, he didn't feel too entangled. He just turned his head and didn't look at the scene of the Huns' army collapsing.

When he turned around, he happened to see Huo Qubing's red cheeks.

This boy was also staring closely at the large group of cavalry in front, breathing rapidly, with his mouth slightly open and constantly gasping for air, but it was not because of nervousness or fear.

That face, the shining eyes, and the clanking sound of the ring-headed sword hitting the armor all express Huo Qubing's current mood.

excited!

"This kid was really born for the battlefield." Tang Qi shook his head helplessly.

The battle ahead has begun.

Calling it a battle is actually not quite accurate.

It's nothing more than the serial crossbowman pulling off the hanging knife again and again according to the boring command.

The cavalry at the front were like leeks cut by a sickle, falling one after another, without delaying the people behind them who continued to roar and howl and rush forward.

Cavalry charge relies on momentum!

No matter how reluctant they were before going into battle, these prairie people who had lived on horseback since childhood, rode sheep and shot rabbits as soon as they could walk, and followed adults to plunder other small tribes when they were still half-grown children, all

Very clear.

On the battlefield, leaving your back to the enemy is the real way to die!

Before their courage is exhausted, no matter how many casualties they pay, they will keep moving forward!

Tang Qi was stunned.

This time it was different from the 5,000 servants who rushed into the formation like a family. With the Huns suppressing the formation, these complex vassal cavalry burst out with amazing courage and combat effectiveness!

They can even brave the terrifying scene of thousands of arrows being fired, draw their bows and shoot at the crossbowmen!

There were even several times when they almost succeeded in fighting at hand-to-hand combat!

Round after round of crossbow bolts were thrown out, and the momentum of the cavalry's charge could barely be restrained.

Even the crossbowmen suffered their first major casualties!

Crossbowmen from the first row continued to fall down, and their vacancies were filled by their colleagues.

The fifty meters in front of the Han army's formation seemed to have become a vacuum zone.

Fifty meters ahead, there were Hun soldiers who were screaming fiercely and charging forward on the corpses of their comrades.

Fifty meters behind, Han army crossbowmen fell one after another.

But the ground within a fifty-meter radius was clean, with not much blood spattered on it, as if it was not part of the battlefield at all!

However, this part that "does not belong" to the battlefield is slowly shrinking.

At the cost of increasing casualties, the cavalry of the vassal tribes were gradually closing the distance with the Han army's crossbow formation step by step.

A third of the cavalry team of more than 30,000 people disappeared in the blink of an eye!

The casualties of the Han army are gradually increasing as the distance gets closer.

It is conceivable that what they are holding is not an improved version of the Zhuge Liannu that can fire fifty arrows in a row without winding, and whose power and range have been greatly enhanced.

It is the traditional arm-shaped crossbow of the Han army. If the crossbow is stepped on, it will definitely be a close fight at this time!

The sword, shield, and halberd bearers at the rear have begun to move according to military orders, and are always ready to step forward to replace their fellow archers and crossbowmen.

"Even Wuhuan, Donghu, and Kangju were so fierce in smashing them. The Huns were even better than them. No wonder they became the enemies of strong men."

Tang Qi murmured to himself.

The situation on the battlefield is very strange.

The thickness of the crossbow array is slowly weakening, and only a little more than half of the vassal tribe's cavalry remains.

However, the more than 3,000 Han cavalry led by Li Guang and the 10,000 elite Xiongnu troops led by Zhao Ponu's relatives all stopped quietly and did not move.

They are all keeping an eye on the opponent's coach's movements, trying to get there first.

Tang Qi had calmed down at this time, raised his monocular and was observing the situation on the battlefield.

Suddenly, Tang Qi put down his hand, licked his lips and said, "Qu Bing, if your heavy armored cavalry attacks these cavalry archers, can they penetrate them?"

"The difference in strength is too big. I can't guarantee a complete victory." Huo Qubing seemed to be modest, and then he said, "But if it can be drilled through, even if I were to drill through the Xiongnu headquarters, I'm sure I can drill through at least two rounds.

!”

Tang Qi nodded.

He knew that Huo Qubing was not bragging.

In the era of cold weapons, especially in the Western Han Dynasty when the heavy cavalry nemesis was not yet born, even if there were only 500 heavy cavalry charging up, it would be enough to become a nightmare for any infantry or light cavalry!

Heavy cavalry are often used to attack heavy infantry, but now, they will be used to attack cavalry!

"Listen to me." Tang Qi motioned Huo Qubing to come over and explained in this way, "What do you think? Do you dare?"

Huo Qubing grinned: "Even if you don't tell me, Brother Tang, when the opportunity comes, I will still challenge you!"

"good!"

A messenger passed through the formation, arrived at Li Guang's place, and conveyed the words of Tang Qi and Huo Qubing.

"Is this what the Great Farming Order means?" Li Guang was still a little doubtful.

After all, Tang Qi was a civil servant and had never been on the battlefield.

The messenger said: "Colonel Piao Yao said that he also means the same thing!"

"Since Qu Bing agrees, let's take a bet on him!" Li Guang is also a decisive general. "Send the order to my men to attack the local flank!"

More than 3,000 cavalrymen finally moved.

The movement was so loud that Zhao Ponu, who was far away in the Xiongnu army, could see it clearly.

"The wait is finally here." Zhao Ponu seemed to be relieved, but also seemed to be sighing something, "Send the order to Ada, take his seven thousand children, and eat the opponent's cavalry. He knows how to fight!"

The messenger took the order and left.
Chapter completed!
