Chapter 646 Charge

"Boom..."

The gate made of wooden boards, copper nails, and iron bars slowly opened. Through the gaps in the gate, the horse slave could see the surprise in the eyes of the enemies in the distance.

He tightened the spear in his right hand, stroked the head of the anxious warhorse with his left hand, and took a deep breath.

When the gate opened to allow a horse to pass through, he squeezed his feet slightly.

The warhorse that had cooperated with him for a long time felt the strength of his legs and immediately understood the speed his master needed.

The warhorse spread its long legs and trotted out of the city gate, carrying the horse slave.

Following closely behind him were the thousand-man Xiliang Iron Cavalry that were chasing horses.

There are two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, one thousand of which are commanded by a separate centurion, and the other one thousand are under the command of Zhu Ma.

Ma Nu, the centurion, is actually just an adjutant.

But now it is different. After Zhu Ma talked with him just now, in front of the army and the tribesmen, Zhu Ma personally appointed him to directly command the one thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

He is now a centurion in name only, and the other centurion has tragically become Zhu Ma's adjutant.

This is Zhu Ma's trust in him, and it is also Zhu Ma paving the way for him.

With this identity, when Zhu Ma dies in battle, it will be much more convenient for him to temporarily command the city defense as the centurion of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which will be much more convenient.

In the entire Xiliang City, the most valuable position is the centurion position, because in Xiliang City, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the strongest team.

The horse slaves went out of the city, controlling the speed of the warhorses to trot forward, and as the city gates behind them opened wider and wider, more and more Iron Cavalry followed.

They all gathered behind the horse slaves, followed the horse slaves forward, trotting and reorganizing the team.

Slowly, the whole team took the shape of an arrow, and the horse slaves slowly accelerated.

At this time, the enemy formation was in turmoil.

The warriors who were building siege weapons in the front were all unarmored. When they saw the Iron Cavalry, they immediately panicked and wanted to retreat.

But behind them were armored soldiers, who had their own formations and naturally did not want to be dispersed by them.

The conflict between the two sides was about to break out, and Heslamo hurriedly organized the warriors in front to disperse from the left and right.

But these unarmored warriors were not professional soldiers at all. They were on the battlefield for the first time and were in a panic. How could Heslamo organize them with just a few words?

Looking at the panic in the front team of the enemy, the horse slave snorted, continued to let the warhorse trot forward, and looked back at the team behind.

Although the city gate is wide, it will take some time for all the thousand cavalry to come out, but now the enemy is in a panic and the opportunity to fight is fleeting.

"Iron cavalry, listen to the order, prepare to attack."

The horse slave turned his head and said, stroking the helmet on his head with his right hand and hitting it down.

"Snap."

The mask was buckled on his face, and the knights behind followed suit.

This is a pre-battle action. When this action appears, the rear army knows that the attack is about to begin.

The horse slave exerted a little force with his legs, and the warhorse began to accelerate from a trot. The warriors behind him took him as the peak and began to move out in order.

"Boom... Boom..."

The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the rhythm of the cavalry's body became stronger and stronger.

Under the heavy armor, the cavalry began to breathe heavily after running for a while.

This is not because of tiredness, but because more oxygen is needed for exercise, and there is not enough oxygen in the mask, so they can only breathe heavily.

Safety and ventilation, helmets can only choose one when they are made, and between life and death, safety is obviously more important than ventilation.

"Kill."

The enemy formation was getting closer and closer, and the horse slave shouted while riding his horse diagonally.

He didn't want to charge the enemy formation directly, because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind him had not all come out yet. If he couldn't break through the enemy formation, he would be trapped in it and lose everything.

Following his lead, the Iron Cavalry made an arc and killed the enemy's siege weapons diagonally.

At this time, there was chaos there, and with the rumbling sound of the war horses, these people became more and more anxious.

"Hold on, we can't let them destroy and rush into the battle formation."

Heslamo roared loudly while riding on the war horse. He was afraid that the formation in front would be disrupted by his own people, and then the enemy would follow suit.

He also thought about letting his own cavalry block the attack, but the enemy was obviously heavily cavalry, and it would be inappropriate for his own light cavalry to go up.

With his efforts, the formation of the armored warriors was finally in order. Seeing this, Manu adjusted the angle of the charge and led the army to draw an arc again.

If the enemy's formation was in chaos, he would not draw an arc, but would go straight in. However, if the enemy stabilized its position, he would only be able to eat up the chaotic ones in front. The

rumbling iron cavalry charged, and the earth seemed to tremble, which was quite shocking.

Manu's body began to crouch slightly, and when he was about to make contact with the enemy, the long spear in his hand changed from being raised high to being held horizontally.

As he moved, the long spears in the back were also lowered, which was also a signal to the rear army, indicating that they were ready to engage the enemy.

With Manu as the vanguard, the cavalry instantly killed into the chaotic front of the enemy.

On the battlefield, the effect of personal force will become much lower, especially when the heavy armor is against the unarmored, and the former also relies on the horsepower to charge.

In just a moment, the enemy was rushed to the ground, and the long spear in Manu's hand even killed two enemies in a row.

At the moment when the enemy's blood burst out, Manu took a special look. These blond-haired and blue-eyed guys did not bleed gold or green.

Like him, these guys also bleed red blood.

"Put aside your guns and hold your knives. Don't fight too long."

The horse slave roared. Although this was something everyone knew, he still couldn't help but remind them. He was afraid that some warriors would be reluctant to put down their spears and drag the corpses forward, which would seriously affect the speed of the horses and the lethality of the warriors.

Don't think this won't happen. Xiliang City is short of resources. These Iron Cavalry are basically supplied by the Alliance. The warriors really don't want to give them up.

When the Iron Cavalry was first established, the warriors were reluctant to kill people with the tip of their spears.

They said they were afraid of breaking the tip of the spear, so they used the butt of the spear to hit people. Although it would still have killing power, the effect was much smaller and it looked out of place.

Now that there are more killings on the battlefield, this situation will naturally not occur. The warriors have already abandoned their spears and drawn the long swords at their waists without the horse slaves asking.

The long sword is not as good as the curved sword, but the curved sword has not been around for a long time on the Alliance side, so it is naturally impossible for this side to match it.

But a long sword is better than a long spear, and it is not easy to get stuck after killing an enemy.

Ma Nu also drew out his long sword and chopped at an enemy who bent over and stabbed him with a long sword.

"Puff."

The enemy was very fast, and in an instant he stabbed the long sword in his hand into Ma Nu's waist. At

the critical moment, Ma Nu only had time to dodge slightly, and the long sword broke through the armor and pierced his waist.

The armor seemed to have no effect on the long sword with a dim light, and it was easily pierced.

The pain came instantly, but Ma Nu endured the pain and held the long sword tightly to chop at the next enemy.

It was not that he didn't want to kill this person, but the warhorse was extremely fast, and they had already staggered in a collision. The enemy who hurt him would naturally have the next person to attack.

He killed the next enemy with one blow, but before he could put away his sword, another enemy rushed over.

Suddenly, a cavalryman rushed out from his left side and knocked the man away.

The horse slave smiled, adjusted his posture, and squeezed his feet hard. The warhorse suddenly rushed forward and rushed to the front of the team again.

The cavalryman rumbled forward, and the horseman didn't care about the pain at all, but just tried his best to kill the enemy.

At this time, the cavalry on the right wing had begun to destroy the enemy's siege weapons, and the left wing was also trying to attack the enemy's armored battle formation.

The cavalry on the right wing was fine, and the destruction was very smooth, but the left wing was a little damaged.

Those armored enemies stood still, holding long spears in their hands. Even if the spears were broken, the horses would charge at the warriors without fear.

The hot-blooded Xiliang cavalry rushed directly into the enemy formation, but found that they could only knock down one armored warrior at most, and could not knock down the warriors behind at all.

The cavalry who was stopped by the knock lost speed, and what awaited him was death. Even the heavy cavalry would be stabbed to death by the enemy.

The horse slave took the time to look at the left wing, and seeing that the casualties there were heavy, he hurriedly led the army to leave.

"Boom boom..."

The cavalry ran past the enemy's armored battle formation, and these people did not attack. If

they dared to charge out in the face of these galloping heavy armored cavalry, they would easily be swept into the flood and killed.

When all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry left them, the front of them had turned into a Shura field. The

ground was full of blood, corpses were trampled beyond recognition, and there were more than a hundred war horses and Iron Cavalry lying on the ground.

Most of the fallen Iron Cavalry were on the left wing, which was close to the enemy's battle formation. There were always some Iron Cavalry who tried to attack, but the results were not very good.

When he rushed out from in front of the enemy, he first raised his long sword, and the Iron Cavalry behind him also raised their weapons, which meant slowing down.

The team began to slow down slowly, and after arriving at the foot of the city, the horse slave lifted his mask and looked back.

The soldiers behind him followed suit, which was the signal for the army to stop.

When cavalrymen run, signals must be given between the start and end, otherwise chaos will easily occur.

Infantry is better, but it is also best to communicate well, otherwise the battle formation will be easily chaotic.

The army stopped, and the horse slave looked at the front of the enemy army, looking at those iron knights struggling on the ground, and those enemies who stabbed the long spears into the bodies of the fallen iron knights, and sighed.

"In one charge, we only killed more than 200 people. The enemy is indeed stronger than we imagined."

Zhuma rode over and said while looking at the battlefield.

Just now, there were more than a thousand people in the enemy's front army. In a hurry, some of them ran to the rear of the army, and some of them actually ran towards the city.

When the Manu army returned to the city, these people retreated to the front of the army.

They moved very quickly, and the cavalry running at high speed wanted to turn around and chase them, but it was impossible.

"How should we fight next?"

Manu asked.

Of course, he knew that the reason why he rode here was not to tell him how powerful the enemy was, but to give orders.

"I will charge at the enemy's front army, and you will attack from the back. Let's see if we can penetrate the enemy."

Manu had a smile on his face, but his eyes looking at the enemy were quite cold.

"Just now, a soldier tried to charge at full speed, but he was unable to enter the battle array after killing one person. If they charge head-on, the casualties will be heavy."

Ma Nu said with a frown.

He didn't want Zhu Ma to die, and he didn't want to be the losing side in this battle.

"We are in a terrible situation, and the enemy is not much better."

Zhu Ma restrained his smile and said, "We have to hurt them so that we can protect our homeland."

As he spoke, he looked back at the tall Xiliang City.

In the morning light, Xiliang City stood there, tall and solemn.
