Chapter 280: Heavy Cavalry Attack (2)
"Scatter! Let it go!"
The Hu warriors, Hu general Qiu Dun, under Pilo, shouted loudly, and ordered the soldiers here to quickly disperse the formation.
No wonder he summoned this way. After all, in the face of crowds, the cavalry of his Hu people were being massacred by Xia people.
Those strange-looking Xia people's cavalry were not cavalry at all, but a group of infantrymen who could ride horses.
These Xia infantrymen rushed into the formation of Talin Hu cavalry with suicide charges. When their own war horses were killed and injured, they immediately changed to infantry battles and took the butcher knife in their hands to kill Talin Hu's soldiers.
Although the soldiers of Talinhu were skilled in bowing and horses, they were unable to use riding skills to avoid them due to the dense crowds of people. They were chopped to the ground one by one, so they were so unfairly accused of death. If they were on the open plains, these damn Xia infantrymen could not kill the cavalry of the Tahu people, even if the other party would ride horses.
Just as he shouted, someone suddenly shouted from the side: "Qiu Dun, be careful, that Xia will come to you!"
"What?"
Qiu Dun was shocked, turned around and saw Li He coming to him.
Li He had a strong shield in his left hand and a sharp sword in his right hand. He used a shield to protect himself and the war horses. He cut him when he saw someone. On this densely populated battlefield, he felt like he was in a state of no one. He had a single sword and fought a bloody path among hundreds of Linhu cavalry and rushed straight towards him.
Looking at the other party's bloody and murderous look, Qiu Dun felt a little chill on his back, but as the son of the grassland, he still pulled out the knife in his sheath and met the Xia general head-on.
"Shao General! Die!"
He shouted with the few Zhongyuan words he knew, and swung his sword to slash at the Xia general.
"clang!"
Li He blocked the attack with his backhand, and then suddenly exerted force, swung his sword downward, and used a fierce force to open Qiu Dun's sword-holding hand.
Suddenly, the empty door on Qiu Dun's chest opened wide.
Before he could say something bad, Li He quickly raised his sword and stabbed him in the chest. With a squeak, Qiu Dun, whose empty door was wide open, was pierced by Li He's chest with a sword.
Qiu Dun opened his eyes wide in shock, then abandoned the sword and grabbed the blade that pierced his chest. He ignored the bleeding from his mouth and said to Li He angrily: "You are very powerful, General Xia, but you and your warrior are not worthy of being a warrior!"
"?" Because of the inability to speak, a hint of confusion flashed across Li He's face.
At this moment, Qiu Dun cut his right hand regardless of the sword blade, clenched it tightly with his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill him!"
Before he finished speaking, four or five Lin Hu cavalrymen rushed out from the side, each holding swords and slashing at Li He.
Li He reacted now and subconsciously wanted to draw the sword, but found that the sword body was tightly held by the warrior Lin Hu.
"Hey!"
Qiu Dun grinned, as if he had seen the other side of Xia General's body and head.
However, the next moment, he suddenly felt an irresistible force coming from the sword that pierced his chest, which made him unable to hold it tightly anymore, and watched the other party pull out.
"Dada--"
"Dangdang--"
Two blades slashed on the shield raised by Li He. The sword in Li He's right hand slammed the sword in the hands of two other Lin Hu cavalrymen, and then slashed at the fifth Lin Hu cavalry who besieged him.
With a slight sound, the sword in the hand of the Lin Hu cavalry was cut off by Li He. Then, the sharp sword slashed heavily into the left shoulder of the Lin Hu cavalry until its chest and abdomen.
"hiss--"
The other four Lin Hu cavalry were shocked, and took a breath of air conditioning. They immediately pulled their horses back and looked at Li He with a look of shock and suspicion.
Qiu Dun was also stunned and could not believe his eyes.
Li He did not forget Qiu Dun. After rescuing the siege, he turned to look at Qiu Dun and nodded in praise: "You are very good!"
After saying that, he defeated Qiu Dun with one sword.
"mean……"
Qiu Dun cursed and fell to the ground with a thud.
But unfortunately, his words were not conveyed to Li He until his death, and Li He didn't even realize that the Hu man was resenting.
Until Li He was sniping another Hu warrior, the other party cursed in Zhongyuan dialect: "Despicable!"
"Despicable?" Li He didn't react for a moment.
The Hu warrior was wrong and mistakenly thought that Li He would not admit it, so he cursed in a stiff Central Plains dialect: "The horse is half of the warrior and a companion, but you sacrificed your war horses and rushed in. You Xia people are not worthy of being called warriors!"
Even though he knew he was on the battlefield, Li He was still stunned by the Hu warrior, and then he felt a little amused.
The guy on the other side thought he was willing to sacrifice these war horses? Isn’t that impossible? If there were thick vests, how could they sacrifice so many war horses today?
You should know that he, Shao Liang, lacks the best war horse.
What's ridiculous is that in Shangjun, Lin Hu, who was in Xihe, who sacrificed his sword to the people of the Central Plains, would actually accuse him of war horses.
Of course, considering that the people of the Central Plains are not even as good as those of cattle, sheep, horses and other animals in the eyes of this group of Lin Hu, this is not difficult to understand.
"You who kill innocent people indiscriminately are not the same!"
After a sentence came to a sentence, Li He waved his sword to chop the Hu cavalry over the ground, and then glanced around. He was so shocked that more than a dozen Lin Hu cavalry who were trying to besiege him all pulled their horses back.
Li He was too lazy to pay attention to them and scanned the surroundings to observe the battle situation.
According to what he saw, the originally dense Lin Hu cavalry here has gradually dispersed, which makes it difficult for those cavalry cavalry and Wei Wu cavalry who have lost their mounts and chose to fight in the infantry battle to effectively kill the enemy. On the contrary, they were used as targets by the Lin Hu cavalry who have dispersed their formations.
Fortunately, he had given in advance that he would not be left behind the shield in his hand anyway. Therefore, although the cavalry and Wei Wu cavalry were regarded as targets by Lin Hu, they could still survive with the shield.
He shouted loudly: "Peng Chou, Fox, Feng Pu, Zuo Song, meet with me!"
After shouting three times, Feng Pu and Zuo Song took the lead in tying their horses to meet with Li He, and replied to Li He with panting.
Li He asked the two generals: "How many cavalry are left?"
Feng Pu and Zuo Song looked around and said: "There are probably more than a thousand cavalry."
The two of them said it was not casualties. In fact, the casualties between the Xingzhen Cavalry and the Wei Wu Cavalry were not large. Together, there may be only more than a hundred people. The key is war horses, no heavy armored war horses, and the losses were too great in such a dense battlefield. When they rushed in, at least six or seven hundred war horses were killed or injured. In addition to the battle just now, it would be good to have a thousand cavalry left.
Soon, Peng Chou and Hu Feng also came to meet with Wei Wu cavalry with many lost mounts.
Seeing this, Li He ordered the four generals: "Feng Pu, Zuo Song, summon the remaining heavy cavalry and launch a second raid with me. Peng Chou, Fox, you two followed behind with soldiers who lost their mounts and snatched the unowned war horse!"
"yes!"
Four generals held their fists and took the order.
Under Li He's order, the cavalry of the Conquering and the Wei Wu cavalry gathered together again.
After the team gathered, Li He raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to launch the second assault!"
"Whoa whoa--"
The cavalry of the formation who still had mounts raised their arms and shouted.
It can be seen that the tactics like heavy cavalry assault are very in line with the appetites of the formation cavalry and the Wei Wu cavalry, so that the soldiers are still very motivated at this moment.
During this period, Peng Chou, Hu Feng and others led the lost mount cavalry and the Wei Wu cavalry to find the unowned war horse.
At the same time, the Linhu cavalry, which were scattered in formation, have gathered again about a mile away.
It has to be said that the more than 1,000 cavalry of Lin Hu were completely killed. They were skilled in bows and horses and could not adapt to the powerful attacking style of heavy cavalry led by Li He. At least two or three thousand cavalrymen were killed and trampled on each other and died.
Seeing that Li He led more than a thousand heavy cavalry to re-form the formation, these Linhu cavalry suddenly became restless.
"The Xia cavalry...they, they seem to be rushing over again!"
"What?"
"Damn it! These despicable Xia people, they are not worthy of being warriors!"
Amid the scolding of Linhu cavalry, Li He raised his arms and shouted: "Heavy Cavalry Camp, charge--"
"Whoa whoa!"
With a shout that resounded through the world, more than a thousand heavy cavalry followed Li He again and charged towards the formation of more than ten thousand forest Hu cavalry in the distance.
Seeing this, the Hu cavalry in the distance became more and more restless.
What's wrong? Do you still have to shoot arrows at the other party? At most, the opponent will rush to the front of two arrows.
"Chun, shoot arrow..."
A warrior Lin Hu issued an order in an unsure tone.
Under his order, thousands of Hu cavalry barely launched another volley. Perhaps because of their unstable mood, the accuracy of this volley was far inferior to the last time. Most of the arrows actually landed behind the butts of more than a thousand heavy cavalry led by Li He, with only a few thousand hitting the targets. Unfortunately, this so-called hitting target was just a hitting the armor of the cavalry and the Wei Wu cavalry or the war horses under their crotch.
During this period, Li He had led more than a thousand heavy cavalry to a distance less than a hundred feet away from the opponent.
"Scatter! Scatter!"
Several Lin Hu warriors shouted in panic.
With the lessons just now, they no longer dared to let the soldiers gather in front of this strange group of Xia cavalry, and hurriedly ordered to scatter.
So a strange scene appeared. Facing the Xia cavalry with only more than a thousand cavalry, the Linhu cavalry with more than ten thousand cavalry fled in scattered areas, and not many people dared to block the attack head-on.
Seeing this scene from afar, the leader of the Hu people, Pilouzi, was jealous: "What the hell are they doing?! That's only more than a thousand cavalry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a "boom" cheer came from the battlefield in the distance. It turned out that the 30,000 to 40,000 Hu slaves had reached the critical point they had endured, and finally could no longer bear the huge amount of casualties. They were killed by the Yuanli Army, the Wei Army, and the Zhao Army, and the defeated one after another.
No wonder, after all, there were 14,000 Lin Hu cavalry plundering formations and using bows to protect the 30,000 to 40,000 Hu Nu, which put a certain suppression on the coalition forces. But now these 14,000 Lin Hu cavalry have been driven back by the heavy cavalry led by Li He, leaving only the group of Hu slaves to compete with the Shaoliang, Wei and Zhao coalition forces alone. How can this resist?
"Wei Wuzhang, assault!"
As Wei general Fang Han decisively sent Wei Wuzhang, who had previously shot crossbow arrows in the rear, did nothing, the collapse of Hu Nu's army became more and more obvious.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Pilo cursed three times, and snapped the whip in his hand.
However, the defeat was decided, and even if Piloxin was unwilling to accept it, it would be useless.
On that day, Pilou finally led more than 10,000 cavalry to escape into Lincheng. Chi Yu, Pulan and other 6,000 cavalry, and eliminated about 2,000 cavalry killed by the Hai tribe and Shaoliang soldiers. The rest were blocked by the coalition forces and had to go elsewhere, either fled back to Gaolang area or into the camp in Lishijiangu.
As for the 30,000 to 40,000 Hu Nu, apart from being killed by the coalition forces, the remaining 20,000 people also surrendered because the cavalry led by Li He cut off their retreat.
In this battle, the coalition forces suffered about 3,000 casualties and beheaded nearly 20,000, which was a great victory.
Lin Di Lin Hu no longer had the power to compete with the coalition forces head-on. More than 10,000 cavalry guarded the dead land surrounded by water on three sides. They could not advance or retreat, just like a battle between trapped beasts.
