Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 953
In the face of the three thousand Liaodong cavalry, Yuan Shao seemed to have expected it, but he just sneered and didn’t take it seriously.
“After the lord retreats, be careful of your body, and you can deal with the enemy in the future.” Jiang Yiqu said solemnly to Yuan Shao.
“okay.”
Yuan Shao nodded, riding back, and Jiang Yiqu led the troops forward. And beside him stood more than five hundred armored men. Each of these five hundred armored men was wearing heavy armor, covering their body in armor, and wearing iron helmets on their heads. The whole figure looked like an iron man.
They both held an iron halberd in their hands. It was the elite soldier beside Yuan Shao, the euphorbia.
These five hundred euphorbias are the biggest support for Yuan Shao. The five hundred are not only heavy infantry, but also dead soldiers trained by the Yuan family for a long time. They grew up in the Yuan family from childhood and were brainwashed to death. Loyal to the Yuan family’s philosophy, so when fighting without fear of death, this is the most terrifying part of Euphorbia!
A temporarily organized troop will disintegrate if the number of casualties exceeds one tenth. If it is a well-trained soldier, it may be able to withstand 20% to 30% of casualties, even in modern times. Hongjun soldiers will collapse after nearly half of their casualties.
The dead can withstand such a casualty ratio.
Each of the five hundred euphorbias dressed in heavy outfits, arranged in a formation like a steel city wall, standing in front of the enemy army, motionless like a mountain.
“kill!”
Tatata!
Three thousand Liaodong cavalry galloped forward all the way, and finally rushed to the front of the Euphorbia, while Yuan Jun around the Euphorbia was scattered, retreating to protect Yuan Shao.
“Heavy infantry?” Gongsun Kang couldn’t help but change his face when he saw this scene. Although the Liaodong iron cavalry is known as an iron cavalry, of course it is not a real iron cavalry. The armored cavalry is still made of leather. At most, it can defend against arrows. The arrow is just shooting.
However, the distance is too close. At this time, it is too late to change lanes. I can only bite the bullet and bump into it. Fortunately, there are only 500 people on the opposite side. If you lose some cavalry, you should be able to rush over!
Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth and said: “Don’t be afraid, rush over in one go. The enemy has no more than 500 people. Just rush over and kill Yuan Shao.”
Although I encountered heavy infantry, the Liaodong iron cavalry had an advantage in number after all, and it was not very afraid. Instead, he lowered his figure on the horseback and accelerated the horse, preparing to hit with the impact of the horse. Destroy the enemy.
Near, near, getting closer and closer! The successive sound of horseshoes resounded like thunder in the ears of the five hundred euphorbias, and the roar continued.
“kill!”
Seeing that the distance between the Liaodong iron cavalry was getting closer and closer, the euphorbia in the front row looked at the timing, roared, and the euphorbia in his hand stabbed out fiercely.
“Ang Roar!”
The sharp halberd blade pierced into the neck of the first horse with a “pouch”, and the crescent blade that was exposed horizontally was greatly hindered, and naturally it was not able to take advantage of it.
The two front hooves of the war horse were raised high, uttered a violent roar, and struggled ceaselessly. Because of the violent movement, the wound was torn, and a large amount of hot horse blood sprayed out.
“Well……”
But isn’t the charge of the war horse the same? The war horse slammed into it with an indomitable momentum. The Euphorbia sergeant stopped him abruptly. Naturally, he was uncomfortable. Although the wooden handle of the Euphorbia was not broken, there was a trembling sound, and his upper body The muscle fibers are about to tear.
Boom!
At this time, the horses in the back row rammed up again, and naturally slammed on the horses in the front row. The combined strength of the two horses made this big halberd wore iron armor and was strong enough to support others. I couldn’t hold it anymore, I couldn’t hold the wooden handle of the iron halberd, and fell backward.
However, behind him, his fellow robes pressed hard against him, but the reaction force was not good, and a mouthful of blood came out.
“thorn!”
Jiang Yiqu yelled, and more and more Liaodong cavalry rushed up like a torrent. However, hundreds of euphorbias were not afraid of it. They shouted and stretched out their iron halberds, violently * Inside the horses, one after another roared fiercely and fell to the ground.
The horse in the front row fell to the ground, and naturally lifted the knight on his back, and the euphorbia in front of it naturally lit up, raising the euphorbia and rushing forward, aiming at the fallen knight. Poke it down.
“what!”
Euphorbia ripped off the leather armor and inserted it into the knight’s chest, blood gushing out.
However, the euphorbia hadn’t been happy for long, a Liaodong iron cavalry roared, and rushed forward, and the long horse pointed forward.
Ma Jian’s blade carried the strength of the unity of man and horse. Although the Euphorbia was wearing iron armor, it was also pierced at this moment, and the Euphorbia screamed and fell backward. But after all, it is full of iron armor, this Euphorbia will not die for a while, just injured.
Hundreds of euphorbias lined up in place as a steel city wall, while the Liaodong iron cavalry continued to attack, and the injured euphorbias continued to retreat, and there was a pile of casualties in front of the euphorbias formation. The war horses and the Liaodong knights who died on the spot had no more movement, while the war horses and people who were seriously injured and still screamed and wailed.
“Stand it, resist it anyway!” Jiang Yiqu roared.
Even the Euphorbia who was born as a dead soldier had already suffered more than 100 casualties at this moment, with more than 20% of the casualties, and the Liaodong iron cavalry had lost hundreds of horses and suffered heavy losses.
But no matter it was Jiang Yiqu or Gongsun Kang, neither of them wanted to back down. They gritted their teeth, one desperately resisted, and the other desperately wanted to attack.
With Yuan Shao behind, Jiang Yiqu naturally couldn’t retreat anyway, and Gongsun Kang’s target was also Yuan Shao. As long as he repelled these nasty Euphorbias and killed Yuan Shao, the war would be over and Youzhou would fall. In the hands of Gongsun’s house!
“Strike the enemy from the side, turn!”
After the shock, the front of the Euphorbia was already covered with the remains of war horses and Liaodong knights, which naturally caused a lot of inconvenience to the attack of the Liaodong cavalry. When cavalry attacked, they had to choose flat terrain. After all, horses were not goats, and the dead horses and the soldiers’ bodies formed a barrier in front of the Euphorbias, which was naturally undesirable.
Therefore, Gongsun Kang ordered the Liaodong iron cavalry to turn, more than two thousand cavalry turned to the side of the Euphorbia, and attacked again.
“Hold it, never retreat!”
If this were replaced by a normal army, even Yuan Jun’s elite soldiers would collapse, but the Euphorbia was born as a dead soldier after all, and his nerves were extraordinary.
