Xiliang Lion
The sound of weapons being unsheathed and the sound of soldiers gasping were heard. []
When the rain and fog cleared, what caught Wei Yan's eyes was not the Iron Cavalry Regiment as he had imagined.
What was approaching fiercely was a fish-scale shield formation formed by dozens of huge infantrymen.
The shields held in the hands of these Qiang infantry were nearly as tall as a person. They were stacked on top of each other and airtight. Dozens of shield arrays pushed forward, like an iron wall being pushed flatly.
It was the first time for even the experienced Wei Yan to see such a military formation, let alone Samoko. The five thousand barbarians were all surprised.
Wei Yan frowned slightly, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
With rumbling steps, the enemy's shield formation pushed steadily towards the south, and soon entered the range of the crossbow.
Wei Yan urgently ordered to release arrows, and more than a thousand elite crossbowmen nocked arrows. The flag wavered, and the rain of arrows as dense as locusts drew arcs, pouring towards the enemy formation like a dragnet.
However, Wei Yan was greatly surprised by the effect of the arrow attack.
The shield used by Ma Chao's fish scale formation was not only tall, but also extremely thick. The ordinary bows and arrows used by the Confederate Army could not penetrate it.
The rain of arrows that poured down hit the big shield, and they were bounced off one after another, but they hardly caused any substantial damage to Ma Chaojun.
This is the first time I have seen such a strange scene. Even the Wuxi barbarian army, which is known for its fierce fighting and bravery, can't help but waver in its high fighting spirit when seeing such an indestructible enemy.
"Damn it, Liu Bei, the dog thief, is playing dirty tricks." Shamoko couldn't help but cursed, with a bit of anxiety and confusion on his ferocious face.
When the arrows were fired here, Ma Chao's army formation was approaching more than fifty steps. At this moment, the enemy's shield formation suddenly separated to both sides. In the blink of an eye, thousands of cavalry rushed out from the formation, rushing towards the two wings of the southern army like lightning.
"Hmph, it turns out that the cavalry was hidden behind the shield formation. Ma Chao, I, Wei Yan, am not that easy to deceive."
Wei Yan, who had already known this in his mind, decisively ordered that the square military formation be slightly changed into an arc formation.
The cavalry attack was nothing more than a detour on the flanks, for which Wei Yan had already prepared.
Although Ma Chao's army's fish-scale formation effectively withstood the long-range strikes of his own arrows, allowing his cavalry to launch attacks at close range, Wei Yan's army had a geographical advantage.
The Confederate infantry formation, which was arrayed with its back to the water, could hug the river at both ends after a slight change, forming a shape like a moon, sealing off the flanks where the enemy wanted to attack.
Because there is no chariot defense, this formation is slightly inferior to the "Queyue Formation" used by Liu Feng. However, Wei Yan's copper and iron walls composed of large pillars and spears were enough to withstand the impact of Ma Chao's army.
After the order was given, the shield soldiers lined up in front, and long weapons such as spears and halberds were protruded from the gaps in the large shields, like a forest of death, revealing a ferocious murderous aura.
Fifty paces away, the enemy cavalry will arrive in an instant.
However, something happened that surprised Wei Yan again.
Ma Chao's cavalry did not rely on strong impact to launch a fierce attack as he imagined. When these thousands of fierce cavalry approached the Confederate infantry formation for more than ten steps, they suddenly turned their horses' hooves, passed by the Confederate formation, and threw their weapons.
And the weapons thrown out were not ordinary spears, but slender javelins.
The slender javelin was thrown at such a close range, and the bronze spear head shot at the Confederate Army with extremely strong penetration. It could not help but easily penetrate the Confederate Army's wooden posts, and even kill the soldiers along with it. The armor was pierced, and the javelins that passed through the gaps pierced two or three Confederate soldiers.
Being hit by an arrow is not fatal enough, but once the javelin is pierced, even the strongest soldier will immediately lose his combat effectiveness.
Ma Chao's army launched an attack at such a close range, and the hit rate was astonishingly high. With the rain of javelins, the four to five hundred soldiers of the Southern Army on both sides were immediately cut into meat skewers.
Those comrades who were stabbed with meat skewers were dead and alive for a moment, moving but unable to move. They were like grasshoppers impaled on the grass, howling, rolling, and struggling painfully.
This bloody scene and such terrifying attack methods are enough to terrify any iron-blooded warrior, and immediately shattered the fighting spirit of the Wuxi barbarians.
The retreat began, and the panicked barbarian warriors began to turn around and run toward the river bank.
Wei Yan, who was in the middle of the formation, was shocked and angry. He really didn't expect that Ma Chaojun would use such bizarre tactics.
From Changsha to Luoyang, as the number one general under General Liu Feng, Wei Yan was almost invincible, but??Now, how could Wei Yan not be furious that his carefully arranged military formation was so easily defeated by the enemy.
In a rage, Wei Yan repeatedly scolded and ordered his soldiers not to retreat, but the defeat was complete, and neither the barbarians nor his Jingzhou army could stop them.
As an excellent commander, Wei Yan knew very well that the defeat was certain and he had completely lost this battle.
The essential ability of an excellent commander is to be able to accurately judge when it is time to attack, when it is time to retreat, and even when it is time to "escape with your life."
At this time, Wei Yan was only angry for a moment, then decisively turned around and retreated, rushing towards the floating bridge.
Wei Yan should feel lucky. If he had faced a traditional cavalry force, with such a defeat and the enemy cavalry chasing them like tigers driving sheep, he and his defeated troops would have faced being annihilated by the entire army. Danger on the river beach.
However, although the javelin tactics used by Ma Chao's special cavalry regiment were highly lethal, their mobility was poor.
Because after the cavalry threw the javelin, they had to return to the fish scale shield formation to replenish the javelin and turn around before they could continue to pursue the enemy. This round and round gave Wei Yan a precious opportunity to escape.
Therefore, when Ma Chao's cavalry launched another attack, Wei Yan had already rushed to cross the pontoon bridge. Thousands of defeated troops abandoned the fortresses under construction and swarmed from the pontoon bridge to the south bank of the Yellow River.
When Wei Yan wisely chose to retreat, Shamoko of the former army was still fighting bloody battles.
This barbarian general was ashamed and angry that his elite army was defeated by the enemy in a wave. Shamoko became so angry that he killed several fleeing soldiers and led more than a thousand personal guards. He actually bucked the trend of defeat and turned against the enemy. Kill.
In the fish scale formation, the majestic general wearing a brocade horse and a white robe smiled.
There is sarcasm in the smile, but also murderous intent.
Since the Battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao has not killed so happily for many years.
In today's battle, he originally did not plan to take action personally. He wanted to sit back and watch his men easily defeat the enemy. However, the thousands of stubborn enemies aroused his fighting spirit.
With a roar of a tiger, Ma Chao rode out with a silver spear in his hand.
The fish scale formation broke open, and five thousand horsemen rushed forward, following the Xiliang lion.
The fierce iron current roared towards us.
In an instant, the two armies were fighting in one place.
Blood splattered and people fell on their backs. Two to three hundred of Samoko's most elite subordinates were knocked down in the blink of an eye.
At the moment when he collided with the oncoming enemy cavalry, Shamoko swerved slightly to avoid the thrusting spear, and the broadsword came out horizontally. With a "pop" sound, a bloody human head flew away. Up in the air.
Just after killing one person, two Qiang soldiers came and pierced Samoko's face with their long iron spears.
Samoko let out a low whistle, raised his broadsword, and exerted force on his arm, easily deflecting the enemy generals away. He then swept the sword with his fan and passed by like the wind, cutting off the two Qiang soldiers.
The broadsword danced wildly like the wind, cutting off the enemy cavalry one by one. Samoko rushed left and right, as if he was in an uninhabited land, completely ignoring the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops from his own side.
Just when his eyes turned red, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a tall figure wearing silver armor and an animal-faced battle helmet, mixed in with a large group of people and horses, rushing towards him.
Although Shamoke was a southern barbarian, he had also heard the name of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao. He suddenly saw the extraordinary enemy approaching and guessed that it was Ma Chao who was famous all over the world. Then his murderous intent surged and he swung his sword to meet him. .
In the blink of an eye, Ma Chao rushed in front of him with a scorching wind. Under the huge beast-faced battle helmet, his soul-seeking eyes made the fearless Shamoko couldn't help but feel shock.
At the moment of horror, the huge silver gun rushed towards his face like a silver lightning with endless power.
Samoko didn¡¯t have time to think too much. He quickly raised the sword with all his strength and used all his strength to fight against it.
Amidst the roar of metal, Shamoko was shaken all over.
Ma Chao's domineering and swift shot was as powerful as a landslide, and the explosive impact caused by the collision only made Shamoko's muscles stiffen, and Nuo Da's body almost fell off his horse.
The tiger's mouth is even more painful and burning. You don't need to look at it, the tiger's mouth must have been cracked.
"Xiliang Ma Chao, Guo"
Before Shamoko could even think about it, Ma Chao moved his ape-like arm and fired the second gun to his chest. The sharp wind from the gun tip pierced his eardrums.
Shamoko didn't have time to think too much. Instead of blocking the attack, the sword swung towards Ma Chao's shoulder.
As soon as they exchanged a move, Shamoko knew that his opponent's martial arts skills were far superior to his own, so he adopted a desperate fighting style that seemed to hurt both sides.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chao changed his moves very quickly. Halfway through, the gun suddenly turned and the gun barrel stabbed diagonally, hitting Shamoko's elbow socket.
Samoko was startled and hurriedly withdrew his sword to defend, but before the sword was deployed, Ma Chao's third shot had already been marked out from under his ribs and headed straight for his face.
At this moment, Shamoko truly realized how powerful Ma Chao was.
This Xiliang Jin Ma Chao's quick spear skills have reached an unparalleled level. Every shot he uses is as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.
Samoko saw the blur of gun shadows in front of him, as if countless flowing rainbows were surrounding him. He couldn't clearly see his opponent's moves, so he could only use his sword to parry indiscriminately.
After twenty moves, a scream was heard in the battle group.
Samoko was like a whipped top, with blood dripping from several holes in his body, and he screamed and fell from his horse.
