Chapter 90 Our army was defeated
"Wow--"

"No, no no!"

"What, our army was defeated?!"

Xiba groaned and looked at the hundreds of horsemen who began to disperse at the gate of the city. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

The scene before him greatly exceeded his expectations, including that stubborn Commander Du of course.

"Win, did they win?"

Yes, this is the impact of the knights led by Su Yao.

The front arrow formation headed by the armored cavalry attacked the scattered Hu cavalry, so simply.

No light cavalry was their opponent in a head-on confrontation. Those armored knights were like heavy tanks, crushing them alive.

When the barbarians' sabers and short spears hit them, they could only hear a clanging sound.

In this way, they didn't even finish the third round. After leaving the corpses of about two hundred people, they immediately dispersed.

After watching Hu Qi collapse, Su Yao laughed:
"How about Wen Yuan? It will be much more exciting to kill Hu Bi and become your Lao Shizi county official together with my brother!"

Under the helmet, Zhang Liao's cheeks turned red and his blood boiled.

"Brother Su is so powerful!"

In the two rounds of attacks just now, he was satisfied with killing six, but who would have thought that Su Yao actually killed more than thirty enemies!
There is also the super-long weapon called Ma Shu, whose powerful first-mover advantage is clearly visible.

The spear is actually a variant of the spear. A spear that is eight feet long is called a spear. That is to say, when the length of a spear exceeds one foot and eight feet (about 4 meters), the weapon can be collectively called a spear.

The Ma Cha is a horse-mounted super-long spear with Chinese characteristics. It emerged in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties when heavy cavalry tactics were popularized, and reached its peak during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

As the saying goes, an inch long is an inch strong. Its ultra-long distance not only shows its advantages when riding on horseback, but also gives the cavalry for the first time a weapon to confront the infantry array head-on.

With the super-long gun weapons and the heavy armor of the men and horses, the cavalry truly became a tank-like land warfare vanguard, possessing the ability to break through infantry squares in groups.

However, now Su Yao is just slandering those cheating blacksmiths in his heart.

Because of the lessons learned from the last battle, this time they all wrapped the long poles with iron, but the durability was almost exhausted after a few charges.

The production of the long armor-piercing ribs on the front end also clearly lacks firepower, which means it is easy to bully these armor-less people. To truly penetrate armor, more refined technical skills and time are needed to polish it.

But it's not that he can't understand it. After all, according to the drawings and instructions he used to point out forging skills based on experience, the time required to make a horse is as high as 3-6 years, even with future forging techniques!
For a temporary job like his, it's pretty good to be able to use it a few times.

So Su Yao dropped the horse's sword, which was running out of durability, and picked up the two swords again...

What? You ask him why the double sword is okay? No, Su Yao's knife is actually a consumable.

The reason why they are used so much is purely because they can be used locally. Whether they are Han soldiers or barbarian soldiers, the sword saber rate is very high. If you chop down one, you can easily grab a new one and use it.

Without further ado, Su Yao’s little thought only lasted a moment. Faced with the huge advantage gained, Su Yao pointed at the city with his sword:
"Clean up this garbage!"

That's right, Su Yao did not chase the defeated Hu cavalry, but instead prioritized dealing with the densely packed Hu cavalry under the city wall.

"Come on!"

The Han cavalry began to charge again, and they pushed all the way along the edge of the city wall.

These barbarians who were rushing to the wall did not react at all. Who knew that the friendly side on the other side of the battlefield was defeated so quickly.

"what?!"

"what happened?!"

"Do not--"

What a tragedy. The cunning Su Yao brandished his saber and attacked the ladder first. With one strike, several big men fell from the sky and fell to the ground.

Then the Han cavalry who followed them stabbed each one, killing these people.

"Stop him, stop them!"

The officers who came back to their senses hurriedly organized defense, but...

Useless!

The running knight seemed invincible to these scattered infantry.

They charged and killed all the way, and with the trampling of horse hooves, the defense line formed by the Hu people under the wall was torn to pieces.

Seeing this scene, many barbarians began to think of looking for the people who had been abducted.

However, after they set up ladders, covered the city with arrows, and swarmed to climb the wall, these useless people were left aside and dispersed long ago.

Panic, hesitation, but time waits for no one.

This is true for either party.

At present, nearly half of the ladder has been destroyed, and the barbarians on the other side do not dare to climb the wall anymore. Instead, they have set up a new line of defense under the organization of the officers.

They held short spears and shields and stayed close to their teammates, vowing to stop these knights.

Can they do it?

In terms of universal rationality, yes.

Because after Su Yao's more than 20 cavalry were attacked several times, not only did Su Yao lose their horses, but their horse power had also been exhausted. Especially the five armored horses were panting heavily, and they were no longer able to live up to their initial expectations. That's a terrible impact.

But, Su Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Whoosh, whoosh whoop-"Ah!"

"what?!"

"impossible?!"

Amidst the wails, these warriors who tried to organize a defense in a tight formation were met with a sudden hail of arrows.

"Where are these idiots looking?"

Siba, who was watching the battle from the watchtower in the camp, shouted angrily.

That's right, in the melee just now, few people noticed that Jin Fangyan took the hundreds of Hu Qi who were loyal to Su Yao and took the opportunity to move in a small circle among the fleeing enemy groups.

At this time, they had maneuvered in place and suddenly rushed out from the side, attacking the enemy formation with a hail of arrows from behind!
These poor Hu soldiers were already nervous and waiting for Su Yao's attack, but who knew that a wave came from behind them first.

They won't be able to deal with it this time.

Should we continue to maintain our formation, or should we turn around and catch a wave of mounted archers?

While the officer hesitated, a shrill scream rang out, and another round of arrows rained down.

Now the Hu people couldn't bear to be beaten without fighting back, so the people in and behind the formation drew their bows and fought back.

At this moment, in the chaos of the formation, Su Yao caught it!
He jumped up from his horse, flew into the enemy's formation, used his long sword, Sheng Xue, and his bow left and right, cut off the spear shaft and took away the head:
"kill!"

Following Su Yao's loud shout, the charge of the knights followed. They attacked from the front and back, repeatedly beating the enemies who were beaten and fell into chaos.

At the same time, there are

"Our army is defeated and the leader is dead!"

Su Yao yelled in nonsense with a clear accent.

This is the Hu language skill that Su Yao specially spent his experience to point out in order to better fight against the Hu people after entering Yanmen. It is not just the Xiongnu language, but directly lights up their entire language family.

This made all his subordinates stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses and shouted:
"The leader is dead!"

"Our army is defeated!"

"Run quickly, run quickly——"

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

The last words were spoken by Commander Du on the wall. The situation reversed so quickly that he immediately adjusted his strategy. The pressure on the wall was relieved and he began to output firepower again.

So it’s settled.

The killings around the Hu people are like shadows, the sound of defeat echoes in the ears, and deadly arrows fly from the sky from time to time...

The Hu soldiers under the city wall finally collapsed completely, their morale turned white one after another, and even the officers began to run for their lives, let alone the ordinary herders.

Retribution is coming!

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

Xiba yelled with tears in his eyes:
"We must not let these defeated troops attack my camp!"

The leader Sheba, who gained a significant advantage not long ago by coercing the people, tasted the same bitter pill at this moment.

With just over a hundred cavalry, under the leadership of Su Yao, who could handle a thousand cavalry, they actually drove hundreds of thousands of broken troops towards the Hu people's main formation.

The lethality of cavalry is limited, but the impact of a defeated army is unlimited!
If these panicked people are allowed to rush into the camp, failure will multiply and spread like a virus until it infects the entire army and is completely defeated!
shhh-

shhhhh--

The same problem fell on the Hu people.

They did have quite a few sane people who followed orders to shoot.

But more people chose to deviate their aim a little and shoot the arrow into the air.

"The situation is over. Our army has been defeated. Run away, leader. If you are late, it will be too late!"

Qianqi Commander was right in reminding him.

The guards in front of the camp were already showing signs of collapse in the face of the approaching and retreating troops. They were looking around hesitantly, waiting for a suitable opportunity to escape.

"Mount and retreat, everyone retreat!"

Siba said bitterly.

I saw him jumping down from the observation tower and rushing towards the stable with his soldiers...

At this moment, a sharp arrow penetrated the back of his neck!

"Headman?!"

"leader!"

"Dad!!!"

All the relatives exclaimed, and only a small number of people saw this shocking scene.

It turned out that just now, when Su Yao discovered that the boss was about to run away, he took off his cumbersome armor and jumped off the exhausted war horse that was snorting.

Then he ran all the way, reached out to grab the soldier's spear, used his strength to do a somersault over the village wall, and shot an arrow to kill Xiba the moment he landed.
