Chapter 335, I am not afraid of death
Seeing that the Han cavalry on the opposite side suddenly divided into so many squads, the coalition commander in front of the battle was obviously stunned for a moment, but still waved his arm.
There were still thousands of arrows, and dozens of running wolf cavalry teams that were rushing towards the front, especially the front-line personnel who did not escape the baptism of arrow rain and were all dismissed, but their sacrifices won time for their companions behind and around them.
More Wolf Cavalrymen quickly approached the left wing of the coalition forces. At this time, the crossbow that captured the Flying Tiger Cavalry also aimed at them again. A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Western coalition commander in the formation: "All the elite cavalry of the Han Empire will die under the crossbow they made themselves."
Under such a dense shooting of crossbows at close range, even if the Han cavalry is now scattered and reopened, no matter how high the riding skills are, it is difficult to avoid crossbows attacks.
The fate of the Han cavalry seemed to be destined to be defeated in front of the battlefield.
But as the crossbow arrow flashed with cold light shot out, the commander of the Western Alliance opened his eyes widened. The dozens of cavalry teams of running wolf cavalry in the front actually rode their horses hard and used their huge inertia to cross the war horses more than 30 meters away in front of the formation. The subsequent cavalry of running wolf cavalry had already bowed and crossbowed.
Tens of millions of crossbow arrows were shot out from the Western coalition formation. Because they were crossbows and were close to each other, they used the method of flat shooting, so they almost nailed the Wolf Cavalry who were standing in front of the formation into hedgehogs. Taking this opportunity, the crossbows in the hands of the Wolf Cavalry that followed shot out the light of revenge.
Thousands of crossbow arrows, with the flames of revenge, hit the Western Alliance soldiers in the formation accurately.
In order to carry the bows and crossbows and arrows, these soldiers were wearing only the thinnest leather armor, or even cotton armor. Many crossbows penetrated the bodies of the soldiers in front and shot into the bodies of the soldiers behind.
The coalition lost nearly 5,000 people in this rain of arrows, and the arrogant Western coalition commander was also killed in the formation by accident.
This is the wolf pack tactic of the Run Wolf Rider. When the wolf is extremely hungry and captures prey that is stronger than itself, it does not care about sacrificing its companions, and uses the sacrifice of its companions to exchange for overall victory.
The wolves burned by hatred and anger will not care about sacrificing themselves in exchange for their companions to avenge them and revenge the entire wolf pack!
The cyclone cavalry attacked from the other two sides also adopted the same tactics, using flesh and blood to block the seemingly invincible crossbow arrows of the enemy, winning the time for shooting and raiding for their robes.
Under such a blow, the left wing of the Western Allied Forces was in chaos for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wolf Cavalry had already rushed within twenty meters and shot again with the crossbows. The left wing of the Allied Forces was everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining five thousand wolf cavalry attacked from three sides and rushed into the main formation of the left wing of the coalition forces.
The cavalry rushed into the formation of the archers, and the only thing waiting for these Western coalition archers was the fate of being massacred.
Swords with hatred were swung up, with dull slashes that were so loud that they raised their blood.
At this moment, these murderers who had just used the powerful weapon made by the Han Empire to massacre Han soldiers have changed from fierce wild dogs to be stray dogs, and rushed towards the central army in panic.
The right wing of the coalition forces were 20,000 Xianbei cavalry archers led by Duan Haide, the Xianbei Revival Army, and 5,000 Saxon longbowers.
The main formation of the central army was 30,000 heavy infantry, 10,000 Hestan's Macedonian infantry spear formation, 10,000 Reed flying axemen, 20,000 Sisli swordsmen, 5,000 Saxon longbowmen, and tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers from other countries. Among them, 20,000 heavy infantry were at the forefront, followed by 5,000 Saxon longbowmen and 20,000 step archers from other countries.
The left wing of the coalition forces that were captured by the Han soldiers were originally 20,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 Gaul light cavalry, supplemented by 20,000 Xianbei light cavalry.
Now these people and horses have been tightly restrained by the remaining flying tiger cavalry and Shura cavalry, and are even at risk of being eliminated immediately. Then, the ten thousand crossbowmen who reinforced the past have been killed by the running wolf cavalry.
As soon as these defeated soldiers rushed towards the coalition army's midfield, they were not the aid of the roar of the commander in the midfield, but the roar of the commander in the midfield: "Shoot!"
The archers were stunned for a moment, but the commander's order was clear and he shouted again: "Forty-five degrees, diffusing indiscriminately."
This is a good order from Mr. Long in the coalition camp. Once a certain period of defeat is defeated, the commanders in other formations must not let the defeated soldiers rush into the formation, which will cause overall destruction.
This is the lesson learned by the Western coalition and the Han soldiers after many battles. Once they are attacked by the defeated soldiers and the Han cavalry will then chase and kill them, which will lead to a collapse of the whole situation.
Unlike the Han soldiers who received systematic training, it is really difficult for Western 6 to compete with professional soldiers such as the Han family in terms of fighting will, except for the private soldiers of the nobles and kings, and those knights.
This is also the reason why Teutonic can become one of the three major powers of the Western Six with a country with a population of only 10 million, because Teutonic implemented a full-minded military system.
So under tremendous pressure, the overwhelming rain of arrows and various throwing weapons shot towards the scattered coalition crossbowmen and a small number of Running Wolf Knight soldiers who were chasing their formation.
After a heart-wrenching scream, thousands of Western coalition crossbowmen became corpses.
"What a cruel method." Zhao Huicheng said helplessly.
The commander of the coalition forces was decisive. If he was a little later, the Wolf Cavalry would rush into the central army of the coalition forces, and the rest of the cavalry could also cover up the killing, which would definitely catch the remaining coalition forces off guard.
But Zhao Huicheng's feelings did not last long, and he was surprised by the rapid sound of horns in the Han army camp.
This rushing horn is the alarm of an enemy's sneak attack.
The coalition army from the southeast canal quietly sneaked for hundreds of miles and finally arrived at the battlefield of the decisive battle.
Ten miles, eight miles, and six miles, the soldiers on the inner sentry tower of the Han army camp appeared in the distance, and the shadows of dust and sails that were covered in the sky and the sun were echoed over the camp.
In the battle formation, he was carrying a gun and was about to lead his subordinates to give the last blow to the coalition cavalry. He defeated the left wing of the Western Alliance, and his face changed. With a wave of his hand, the five thousand flying tiger cavalry immediately changed direction and headed south to meet him.
Tai Shi Zheng on the side also waved his hand, and ten thousand cyclone wolf cavalry followed closely, while the 5,000 cyclone armies of the 5,000 cyclone army set up defenses on the right wing of the Han soldiers under the leadership of Xiahou Junjie.
At this moment, Zhao Huicheng's heart was filled with surprise and bitterness. He had fully understood that the commander of the coalition forces opposite would definitely not be Jose, and the sneak attacker from afar must be Jose.
This Western 6 fox wants to completely annihilate the living power of the empire here.
~~~~~~~~
And at the same time, the fierce battle continued under the walls of the imperial Jinshan Mansion.
Duanmu Tuo finally led the remaining less than 200 vine armored cavalrymen to rush out of the encirclement of the Gaul light cavalry. At this moment, he did not lead his troops to continue to fight with these cavalrymen, but rushed directly to Bergman, the commander of the Western coalition forces protected at the camp gate.
In Bergman's eyes, Duanmu Tuo's cavalry and the cavalry behind him were like a whirlwind, quickly approaching him from hundreds of meters away. The Gaul light cavalry chasing behind him were entangled in the same place by more than a hundred vine armored cavalry assigned to him.
The other men and his personal guards have all been sent to fight with Chen Chong, and they have now been almost slaughtered. The remaining baggage soldiers in the camp barely attacked the formation of the Han soldiers, vine armor, white spear soldiers in front.
There were only hundreds of nervous-looking baggage soldiers beside him. At this moment, facing Duanmu Tuo and the more than a hundred Han cavalry behind him, he felt like he was about to escape.
"Stand by, reinforcements are coming soon!" Bergman yelled.
Wherever his eyes were, Guan Nubai had already brought two thousand Han cavalry to meet the ten thousand heavy cavalry.
The imagined unilateral massacre did not appear. Guan Nubai killed the Teutonic commander in front with one knife, and then led two thousand Han cavalry to start flying kites around these ten thousand cavalrymen.
Of course, these Teutonic heavy-armed cavalry would not be fooled. They immediately divided three thousand cavalry to face Guan Nubai and his cavalry, while the rest of the troops continued to head for the coalition camp.
When Guan Nubai saw it, he gritted his teeth and divided his troops again. Five hundred Han cavalry faced the three thousand heavy cavalry, and the remaining two thousand people followed him and inserted directly into the main formation of the Teutonic heavy cavalry. The imperial vine armored light cavalry head-on and struck the Teutonic heavy cavalry head-on. In Ebergman's gaze, the ten thousand cavalry were entangled more than a thousand away from the camp and could not move forward.
At this moment, Duanmu Tuo had already arrived, and the long sword in his hand slashed horizontally. Several coalition soldiers who were roaring and rushing up suddenly fell in front of his horse.
"Kill them, kill one person, and give them hundreds of gold coins. I, Bergman, the family of the deceased, gave them enough land and property, and swear in the name of my Teutonic Knight!"
Bergman's roar finally worked, and more than 500 coalition soldiers surrounded him formed a dense square formation, resisting the impact of Duanmu Tuo and his cavalry.
Compared with other imperial light cavalry, the vine armored cavalry is not good at attacking and charging because the armor on them occupies too much weight. In order to preserve the mobility of the light cavalry, they use mostly sabers, and even the cavalry short spears standard for the imperial cavalry are not equipped.
Therefore, when fighting against dense infantry formations, they showed insufficient attacks.
If they were given time, they would still have the confidence to use crossbows to kill these coalition soldiers at medium and long distances, but what the Han soldiers lack the most now is time.
Moreover, although these Western coalition soldiers were of average quality, they also aroused 200% fighting spirit at such a critical moment of life and death and rewards, and the casualties of the vine armored cavalry finally began to increase.
Duanmu Takumi's anxious face no longer had a calmness. Behind him, the more than a hundred vine armored cavalry who were responsible for blocking were almost besieged and annihilated by more than a thousand Gaul light cavalrymen.
Chen Chong had just killed the enemies who blocked him, and was hundreds of meters away from Bergman, and there were also coalition soldiers who were not afraid of death who were constantly blocking his charge.
As for Guan Nubai, he had completely disappeared into the Teutonic heavy infantry's formation at this moment. At this moment, he could only see from the formation that could not move at all that they were still persisting.
"Kill--" Duanmu Tuo roared, and the horses were played in a series, jumped high, and actually rode his horse into the formation of the coalition soldiers. More than a dozen cavalry and Han soldiers behind him also jumped into the horses.
Duanmu Tuo Long Sword slashed continuously, and a blank space appeared in front of him.
"Call him to death!" Bergman roared.
