Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 43: Xiliang Cavalry vs. Halberd Warriors (Part 1)
"They are worthy of being the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they are indeed elite! Even though they have been weakened to this extent, they still have such momentum!" Ji Qiu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

At the same time, Hua Xiong, who had also seen Ji Qiu's troops, uttered a voice of surprise and doubt: "They have already formed their battle formation? Could it be that Jia Xu was right and they were prepared all along?"

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and Youzhou Tuoqi are collectively known as the three most powerful armies in the border states of the Han Dynasty.

Among them, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry used sabers as their main weapon and were good at intercepting and raiding.

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry uses spears as their main weapon and is good at charging into battle.

The Youzhou cavalry used the horse bow as their main weapon and were good at harassment and archery.

Therefore, letting the Xiliang cavalry charge directly into the battle is actually a bit unprofessional.

If the other party had come prepared, we might have really failed today.

Although Hua Xiong is not a wise man, he is not a fool either.

Especially after years of foreign battles, he was promoted to the commander of a battalion due to his merits. He was also a brave general who knew military affairs well.

Naturally, I won't act rashly.

But he soon discovered Ji Qiu's weakness and laughed, "Back to the water formation? Ji Qiu actually chose the back to the water formation?
Does he think he is Xiang Yu or Han Xin?

You dare to choose to line up in front of me? Isn't this courting death? "

As mentioned before, you can't just say no to something like fighting with your back to the water.

But since ancient times, the only two people who succeeded in forming a battle array with their backs to the water were Xiang Yu and Han Xin.

So for most people, it just doesn’t work!
Of course, as a brave general who is knowledgeable about military affairs, Hua Xiong knows more.

He knew that fighting with his back to the water was not absolutely impossible.

But the conditions must be met.

First of all, the soldiers are elite enough, with high morale and no fear of life or death.

The second is excellent generals, at least famous generals.

The third is that the opponent is stupid, reckless and unwise enough!

However, none of these three conditions exist in the current battle situation!
Although these soldiers holding halberds in front of me look quite similar.

But Hua Xiong knew that Ji Qiu was a man who had come from a merchant family and had been promoted by luck, and had just become an official. These soldiers were newly recruited Luoyang wanderers, so they could not be elite soldiers.

As for famous generals, if everyone you meet is a famous general, then they will no longer be called famous generals.

Even in the Xiliang army, which was full of generals, there were not many famous generals.

What’s more, it’s the little-known Ji Qiu?

What qualifications does he have to become a famous general? !

As an enemy, he has been in battle for a long time and has two thousand Xiliang cavalry under his command. He is definitely not a fool!
None of the three conditions are met, so Ji Qiu will definitely lose this battle.

The battle formation he set up with his back to the water will once again become a laughing stock for all eternity, just like other battle formations with their backs to the water!

Hua Xiong raised his thick eyebrows, a sinister smile played on his lips, and he suddenly raised the broadsword in his hand to the sky and shouted in a voice like a bell: "Iron Cavalry Charge!"

This is the exclusive military formation secret technique of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which can double the movement speed and attack speed of the entire army!

boom!
The neatly-stood Xiliang cavalrymen were like a ignited powder keg, boiling in an instant.

The deep and rhythmic sound of war drums rang out, and all the Xiliang cavalrymen were surrounded by a strange red light, as if they were endowed with demonic power.

They quickly changed their formation and swept towards Ji Qiu's troops like a surging black tide.

The sound of horse hooves was like rolling thunder, shaking the earth. The yellow sand was swept into the sky, shrouding the battlefield in chaos.

The sabers in the hands of each cavalryman also glowed red, with mysterious patterns flowing on the blades.

They worked in pairs, coordinating perfectly. The riders in the front row leaned close to the horses' backs, gripping the reins tightly and spurring their horses into a gallop. Their sabers swung out red afterimages, their sharp edges showing off.
The riders in the back row were also possessed by a red light, glancing around vigilantly, ready to use their sabers to deal a fatal blow to any approaching enemy at any time.

They appeared and disappeared in the dust, like deadly messengers from hell.

Hua Xiong was the first to take the lead, with the horse under his crotch surrounded by a red glow. He raised his head and neighed loudly, his four hooves galloping in the wind, and he rushed forward with an indomitable momentum!

Faced with the Xiliang cavalry that pounced on them like vicious wolves, the halberd soldiers' formation shook slightly.

This was the first time they faced such a powerful enemy, and the soldiers couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But Gao Shun, the commanding general, showed no fear at all.

He was wearing fish-scale armor made of ninth-grade peak dragon steel. Each piece of armor was tightly interlocked, flashing a cold light under the setting sun.

He wore a Xiezhi helmet made of the same material, and the single horn on the helmet seemed to be able to pierce the sky.

He held a huge horse-slaying sword in his hand, and the sword was flashing with a cold blue light.

He stood alone at the forefront of the army, like a statue that could not move or have any expression!

Looking at Gao Shun who was extremely calm, the slightly shaking halberd formation quickly stabilized.

Soldiers are the courage of their generals, and generals are the soul of their soldiers!
At this moment, Gao Shun's prestige was quickly established and he became the backbone of the entire army!
With him, the army is there!

"Iron wall!" Gao Shun uttered these two words lightly.

The next moment, the military formation behind him changed rapidly.

One thousand five hundred halberd warriors stood in eight rows. The soldiers in the odd-numbered rows knelt on one knee and slammed the twelve-foot-long halberds in their hands into the ground, with the halberd blades pointing diagonally forward, forming a steel defense line that shone with cold light.

The soldiers in the even-numbered rows half-crouched behind them, placing their halberds on the halberd poles of the soldiers in the front row, stacking them up layer upon layer, airtight, like a curled-up steel hedgehog.

As they took their positions, a golden light rose from beneath their feet, gradually converging and interweaving, eventually forming a layer of golden light curtain that was as thin as a cicada's wing but extremely tough, firmly protecting the entire army formation.

It was the exclusive secret technique of the halberd warrior that Ji Qiu had fought against before, the Iron Wall Light Curtain!

As the iron wall light curtain rose, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also rushed to the front of the halberd soldiers' formation.

The Xiliang cavalry collided with the iron wall light curtain with a loud bang.

Suddenly sparks flew and the sound of metal colliding was deafening.

Hua Xiong took the lead and slashed at Gao Shun with the broadsword in his hand, but was blocked by the light curtain, making a dull loud noise. Ripples appeared where the blade touched the light curtain.

The horse under his crotch was shocked and retreated repeatedly, and there was a hint of panic in its neighing.

The other Xiliang cavalry in the front row were also violently bounced back by the iron wall of light. For a moment, they fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Just when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was in chaos and people and horses were thrown to the ground.

Gao Shun keenly grasped the opportunity and immediately shouted: "Punch!"

This is the second exclusive secret technique of the Halberd Warrior, and it is also a secret technique used for attack.

An invisible force quickly spread out from Gao Shun, covering all the halberd warriors.

A layer of faint blue light surrounded all the halberd warriors, and the halberds in their hands also underwent amazing changes.

A cold star-like light flickered on the halberd blade, and fine runes emerged, as if given life.

The halberd trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound, and the air was filled with a pungent metallic smell.

"kill!"

All the halberd wielders shouted in unison and thrust their halberds forward.
