Chapter 482 Iron Cavalry Assault
Countless torches suddenly lit up, and the night was as bright as day for a while, and Zhang Xun's troops suddenly became panicked.
"what happened?"
"No, it was discovered by the enemy!"
Zhang Xun frowned, and said calmly: "Why panic? Don't be afraid, line up immediately!"
Although Zhang Xun gave the order, how could an army of more than 50,000 be able to form a comprehensive array in a short time? For a while, there was unavoidable chaos.
But Ma Chao sneered: "Soldiers like these are not much higher than yellow scarves."
"preparation!"
Five thousand cavalry galloped out, tall horses of various colors, and the knights on horseback were covered in armor, their faces as cold as ice.
When the five thousand cavalry galloped a hundred paces away from Zhang Xunjun, Ma Chao waved his hand abruptly.
"Shoot!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Five thousand arrows flew out suddenly, carrying the power of a horse charge, and fell down instantly.
Pooh.
"ah!"
Nearly a thousand people under Zhang Xun's department were shot by arrows and screamed.
"Riding and shooting, they can ride and shoot!"
"My God, is it possible that these horsebacks are all archers?"
When the arrow rain fell into the army formation, Zhang Xun frowned and ordered: "The whole army obeys orders, target the enemy cavalry and launch an assault."
Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Xun to be beaten without fighting back, so he immediately ordered more than 50,000 troops to launch a fierce attack. An army of more than 50,000 soldiers shouted a tsunami, and immediately launched an assault on the 5,000 cavalry in front of them, and it seemed like a vast ocean suddenly swept over.
On the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, there was a disdainful smile, and he turned his head and said, "Retreat, don't confront the enemy."
The five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry retreated immediately. Although Zhang Xun's army was ten times larger than the Xiliang iron cavalry, how could a person's two legs match the four legs of the Xiliang iron cavalry?
Although the 50,000-odd army was mighty, they stopped helplessly after chasing for more than a hundred steps, while Ma Chao turned around and said, "Rush!"
The five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry rode forward again just like the action just now, and then drew their bows and arrows. The five thousand cold arrows fell into the formation of Zhang Xun's army again, and more than a thousand people immediately screamed. , fell to the ground.
Clay figurines are still angry, let alone people? The 50,000-odd army was furious when they saw their comrades die tragically, and then rushed forward again. But Ma Chao was very calm, and did not fight the enraged Zhang Xun's army, but continued to retreat. When the more than 50,000 army was tired of chasing, he rushed forward immediately, and another round of arrows rained down.
After three rounds of arrow rain, Zhang Xunjun had already shot and wounded three or four thousand people. Zhang Xunjun's momentum finally changed. He no longer chased the Xiliang iron cavalry, but was afraid of the Xiliang iron cavalry, showing fear.
"The enemy cavalry can shoot us, but we can't touch them."
"No, no, it's just death in vain if you go on like this."
Seeing this situation, Ma Chao immediately revealed a look of arrogance.
He raised the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, and said loudly: "The morale of the enemy army has plummeted, and I will attack with this general."
"kill!"
The fighting spirit of the five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry was revealed, and they held their bows behind their backs and held the sharp sabers in their hands.
"kill!"
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry instantly rushed into the fifty thousand army, just like a long sword piercing the fifty thousand army in an instant, dividing the fifty thousand army into two halves.
Although Zhang Xun's 50,000 army is large and powerful, it grows in Huainan. As the saying goes, ships from the south and horses from the north, although Huainan is not as dependent on the navy as Jingzhou and Yangzhou, it can be regarded as densely covered with rivers, so 50,000 troops rarely see horses, let alone large-scale troops. The cavalry is assembled.
Rumble!
The iron cavalry charged, and 20,000 horseshoes trampled on the ground. Suddenly, there was a noise of smoke and dust, and Zhang Xun's 50,000 troops were in chaos.
"ah!"
The iron cavalry's sharp saber fell high, and with the help of the horse's charge, it easily cut through the thin armor, and Sergeant Zhang Xun fell to the ground immediately.
Although Zhang Xun looked shocked, he did not lose his experience in his eagerness, and hurriedly said: "Quickly, quickly, withdraw to the camp, and don't get entangled with the enemy!"
Zhang Xun could see that Yuzhou was located on a plain, which was conducive to the large-scale charge of iron cavalry. It would be even more difficult to use infantry to compete with the unparalleled Xiliang iron cavalry.
Zhang Xun took the lead in pulling the commander-in-chief flag to retreat towards the camp, and at the same time ordered the army to sound the sound of Mingjin. Seeing that Shuai Qi retreated first, many of the troops of Zhang Xun's army looked good immediately, following Zhang Xun's footsteps, and poured into the camp one after another.
But Ma Chao frowned, and ordered: "You don't have to go into the enemy's camp, just chase and kill the soldiers outside the camp."
"promise!"
Five thousand cavalry galloped outside the camp, brandishing sabers in their hands to kill wantonly. For a while, there were screams outside the camp, and blood and corpses covered the ground, revealing the cruelty of war.
"Close the gate of the village, and don't let the enemy cavalry in!" Zhang Xun ordered hastily.
The guards at the gate hastily closed the gate of the village, but thousands of soldiers outside the camp did not enter, so they were impatient.
"Quickly open the door."
"We haven't entered yet, why did we close the door?"
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
Jun Sima above the gate of the village frowned: "Open the gate of the village!"
"But Sima, the general ordered us to close the gate of the village."
Jun Sima frowned and sighed: "Forget it, close the gate of the village!"
Seeing that the gate of the village was locked, thousands of Yuan Jun soldiers outside the camp were furious. They kept beating the gate and shouting and cursing, but soon they could not speak out.
"Shoot!"
Ma Chao gave an order, and five thousand arrows rained down among thousands of soldiers, and nearly half of them lay down immediately.
Then the five thousand cavalry rushed up mercilessly, rushing into Yuan Jun's soldiers like a whirlwind, and the saber swept away the remaining Yuan Jun soldiers like a whirlwind.
"hateful!"
Li Feng thumped the wall of the stronghold, wishing he could open the gate of the stronghold and fight out, so how can he just sit back and do nothing while watching the soldiers of his own army being massacred by the enemy?
But if you open the gate of the village privately, the general will definitely blame you
"Hahaha, Yuan Shu's army is all rats, nothing to worry about!"
Ma Chao led the army to massacre thousands of soldiers just before Yuan Jun's gate, but Zhang Xun didn't dare to open the gate to fight. After seeing this scene, Ma Chao couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, let's go!"
After showing off their power for a while, the five thousand cavalry rode away.
