Chapter 284 All means are used
The 80,000 cavalry on both wings of the barbarians saw that the troops on both wings of the Dawu Kingdom and the infantry in the rear were too disorganized, so they rushed over from both wings and tried to defeat this group of infantry.
Who would have thought that they were actually trapped by the hollow square formation prepared by Ning Yi.
The entire battlefield was vast and mighty, with shouts of killing everywhere, and all the barbarian cavalry rushed into the phalanx, resulting in casualties everywhere.
Finally, the barbarian cavalry rushed out of the phalanx in panic, but the more than 30,000 cavalrymen who rushed over from the rear immediately defeated these cavalrymen who had no time to organize themselves, and they fled everywhere.
Seeing that the battle was almost over, Ning Yi gave the order again: "Unite the forces and annihilate the enemy."
Command flags were waving everywhere, and from the hollow squares, all kinds of small iron blocks were suddenly thrown out.
If you look closely, they are all triangles.
This is the iron dysentery that Ning Yi specially asked the blacksmith to produce in large quantities in order to deal with the cavalry.
No matter how this thing is placed, the pointed end is always facing upwards, which makes it very effective against cavalry.
Sure enough, the infantry phalanxes everywhere scattered iron dysentery, causing the barbarian cavalry charging inside to scream and fall off their horses one after another.
There were wounded horses and soldiers everywhere, and the tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry in the hollow square formation were completely blocked.
All the infantrymen in the phalanx shouted loudly and raised their spears, surrounding the barbarian cavalry who had restricted their horse speed and could not escape from the phalanx at all.
The barbarian cavalry on the war horses were anxious and tried to drive the horses forcibly, but the horses could not move at all. People were packed together, and there were corpses and horses everywhere. They could not move at all.
Waves of arrows and spears came from nearby, causing the cavalry on their horses to be injured and fall off their horses one after another.
Once they dismounted their horses, these barbarian cavalrymen were like lambs to be slaughtered, and the scimitars in their hands were no match for the spearmen.
The barbarian cavalry were surrounded everywhere, and the scene was extremely chaotic. These barbarian cavalry became the surrounded ones.
The barbarian cavalry that rushed out were forcibly attacked by more than 30,000 cavalry from the Dawu Kingdom, resulting in many casualties. The others continued to flee desperately to the north.
Aturu was still waiting for his cavalry army to attack the infantry of the Dawu Kingdom and then deal with the cavalry behind them.
At first, they laughed at this little guy, thinking that he just didn't know how to arrange the troops and actually placed the cavalry behind the infantry at such a far distance.
This was clearly an attempt to protect their own retreat route and allow the cavalry to block the barbarian cavalry from attacking the rear.
Otherwise, with 30,000 cavalry on both sides to protect the infantry, they would need to allocate a lot of cavalry to contain them.
In the end, the remaining tens of thousands of cavalrymen really found it difficult to break through the phalanxes of the Dawu Kingdom.
Now the cavalry has charged into the rear infantry formation of the Dawu Kingdom, and must be killing people and horses in great numbers.
We just need to kill this group of infantry and make them collapse, and then we can forcibly deal with their cavalry. These are probably the last elite troops of Hushan Pass and the capital of Dawu Kingdom.
He even thought that if he won here, he could go directly to the capital quickly instead of attacking cities one by one, so as to avoid asking the emperor of Dawu Kingdom to organize sufficient defense capabilities.
However, Aturu did not wait for his cavalry army to charge into the infantry phalanx. Instead, he waited for tens of thousands of his own cavalrymen who had fled back. They were also shot with arrows by the cavalry of the Dawu Kingdom in the rear, and people kept falling off their horses.
Aturu couldn't believe his eyes. Are these Dawu cavalrymen stupid? You don't protect your rear, you don't protect the little ones, aren't you afraid that your Royal Highness the Prince will die on the battlefield?
But more than 30,000 cavalrymen had already rushed over, so Aturu had to force the last 20,000 cavalrymen who were waiting on his side to charge forward.
Soon, tens of thousands of cavalry from both sides met in the north of the battlefield. Both sides fought head-on. Both sides were good at riding and shooting, and their weapons and equipment were also good.
The elite cavalry of the barbarians are very powerful and ordinary people are no match for them.
But the Northwest Cavalry is not weak either, they are also veterans on horseback for many years.
Moreover, there are more than 30,000 cavalrymen in the northwest, and among them are 3,000 vassal cavalrymen who were stuffed in by Ning Yi.
They had an absolute advantage in numbers, which immediately caused the 20,000 cavalry led by Aturu to suffer heavy losses.
The tens of thousands of barbarian cavalrymen who began to flee north were all out of breath. After all, they had just rushed out of that strange military formation, which was quite terrifying. They were already exhausted and had no ability to reorganize and provide support.
The cavalry battle was horrific, with both sides constantly passing each other because both sides had invested a large number of troops.
Both sides suffered thousands of casualties in this encounter.
But the veteran Yu Shengfei was now extremely excited. He did not dare to deal with the 30,000 cavalrymen from the northwest against the 100,000 cavalrymen of the barbarians.
But he had nothing to worry about when dealing with more than 20,000 barbarian cavalry.
Immediately, an army of more than 30,000 came around again and rushed towards the barbarian cavalry who had also come around.
They rode on their horses, howling and waving their weapons, as if they were determined to fight the barbarians to the death.
Aturu was shocked. Only when he actually encountered these Dawu cavalry did he know for sure that these cavalry were truly elite, with strong combat effectiveness and fearlessness of death. Moreover, they suffered more casualties because they had fewer troops.
Aturu looked at the Dawu cavalry rushing towards him and had no time to organize the troops to leave. He could only force his way forward again.
He now hoped that some of the cavalrymen who were attacking the infantry could rush out and get rid of these damn Wu cavalrymen.
The large cavalry forces of both sides collided with each other again, brushing past each other, screaming in pain, and each of them was like lightning, constantly reaping each other's lives with the weapons in their hands.
They soon broke away from each other, and Aturu almost vomited blood. The 20,000 cavalrymen were now less than 10,000.
Just now, the other side had several people fighting against one, because they were outnumbered.
Seeing the Northwestern Cavalry who were excited and were about to organize their troops to fight them again, Aturu was unwilling to stay any longer and had to give the order to leave and return to the barracks first.
When Aturu led the remaining less than 10,000 cavalrymen, as well as more than 10,000 cavalrymen who were still tired, he rushed back to the camp and closed the gate.
They are still waiting for tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the south to come back and take revenge.
However, Yu Shengfei only sent a few thousand people to attack the rear of the rebel infantry who were still fighting desperately with the criminal army. The others just had to continue to keep an eye on the cavalry in the barbarian camp.
He now had to admire that His Highness was indeed amazing. He actually relied on a group of infantry to trap more than 60,000 barbarian cavalry.
Such a record and such a strategy make people admire them wholeheartedly.
