Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Heavy Cavalry Vs. Xiongnu
These people were mostly veterans of the battlefield who had experienced war, and their reactions were much faster than those of ordinary soldiers. After they felt the tremors beneath their feet, they all looked at Zhang Chao, who was still raising his glass to drink with them.

Perhaps everyone felt that the sudden sound of horse hooves was bound to have something to do with this great general.

Zhang Chao, who was raising his glass, saw that everyone’s gazes were focused on him. He, who originally had a smile on his face, slowly restrained his smile. Then, he stood up in front of everyone. Then, he saw his hands pressing down and grabbing the wooden table. He forcefully lifted it up and knocked the entire sprinkling table over.

After the wine table was overturned, Zhang Chao shouted, “Zi Man, Zhong Kang, when are we not going to wait?”

The two captains of the Iron Guards were already waiting for this time. For the sake of fighting now, he didn’t drink too much when he was drinking just now. Now that they had a place to use their weapons, how could they be so courteous? The two of them took the weapons from the Iron Guard behind them and jumped into each other’s camp with a loud roar.

A pair of iron halberds and a long saber caused a bloody storm.

These two generals had the ability to fight against tens of thousands of enemies. Now that they had jumped into the enemy camp, how could they be courteous? Just kill them.

“Go, rush up and arrest Zhang Chao. Inform the soldiers outside and leave the city to fight!” Ceng Lian’s reaction was still timely. While retreating, he commanded his subordinates to attack Dian Wei’s Xu Chu.

There were more than a dozen ministers and district mayors in this hall. With more than a dozen people fighting against two people, no one could see the possibility of losing or retreating. However, when faced with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, all the original laws were about to change. More than a dozen people had actually fallen to the ground in a short amount of time. There were seven or eight people. When they saw their companions’ death and their opponents’ courage, their faces revealed expressions of timidity.

Ceng Lian never thought that Zhang Chao’s two subordinates would be so powerful. He no longer counted on winning here, his hopes were placed on the soldiers in other cities and the three thousand Xiongnu soldiers.

However, what Ceng Lian did not know was that the three thousand Xiongnu soldiers were now facing off against the thousand heavy cavalry of the Zhangjiajun under Attila’s leadership.

Attila had a premonition of many things as the trembling of the iron hooves rang out. As a cavalry soldier, he knew very well what would cause such a feeling.

Thinking of some possibility, Attila brought three thousand Xiongnu cavalry on his horse and headed straight for the county government. Although he was a general of the huns, he also knew that capturing thieves captured the king first, maybe can take down zhang chao, also can save the situation.

He swore that he would bring three thousand Xiongnu soldiers and kill them out. Once he reached the main street, he saw the heavy cavalry of the Zhang Clan waiting for them in front of him.

In the dark night, the black armor emitted a sense of seriousness. The neat team, the saber in their hands that was almost three meters long, reflected a palpitating feeling of death under the illumination of the moon. There was a murderous aura in the eyes under the black mask on his head. It was like an arrow that could take their lives at any time, making people fear him before he fought.

Although they had also seen the heavy cavalry of the Zhang Clan during the day, they did not take out their weapons at that time and did not reveal a bloodthirsty aura like ferocious beasts, causing people to not feel anything. But now, when the ferocious beast stopped hibernating and opened its bloody mouth, the feeling was completely different.

The moment the two sides confronted each other, Attila was shocked by the might of Zhangjiajun’s heavy cavalry and his murderous aura.

For some reason, Attila had a feeling that this army was very difficult to defeat, at least with the three thousand soldiers under him, it would be very difficult to break through.

With fear in his heart, Attila did not order an attack. The two sides were confronting each other on the streets, neither of them moving randomly.

The order the Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry received was to stop Attila from leading his troops to the county government. As long as this was done, it would be considered a victory. Taking the initiative to attack was not Zhang Chao’s intention.

While the two sides were confronting each other on the main street, the shouts of killing grew closer and closer not far away. This was a huge commotion caused by Lyu bu’s vanguard army, Zhao Yun’s Dragon Tiger Army, slaughtering their way into the city. One could imagine how vulnerable the original Mayi garrison would be when the 13,000 cavalry entered the city.

“We can’t wait any longer.” Although Attila was still fearful of the Zhang Clan’s heavy cavalry in front of her. However, when he heard the shouts of killing getting closer and closer, he knew that there would be no good results if he waited any longer. He raised the saber in his hand and shouted, “First echelon, charge.”

Attila gave the order and his 1,000 Hun cavalry howled as they brandished their broadswords and whistled forward.

Xiongnu soldiers were a horse race. Many children began to practice riding horses at an early age. This made them think that no one was their match in terms of the elite cavalry in the world. Therefore, even though they felt the horror of the Zhang Clan’s heavy cavalry, after the order was given, these warriors still shouted and rushed forward. They hoped to use their own momentum to suppress these opponents. As long as the formation of these people scattered, they would be able to find a breakthrough and charge forward.

However, the Zhang Clan’s heavy riding was the result of Zhang Chao’s painstaking training for six to seven years. Perhaps in terms of their individual capabilities, they weren’t strong enough to win, but in terms of their overall combat capabilities, especially in terms of courage, there were very few things that made them feel afraid of.

At the very least, the thousand Xiongnu soldiers in front of them were not enough to make them feel afraid. Seeing the opponent charge over like a pack of wolves, not a single one of the thousand heavy cavalry retreated, and the formation was even less chaotic. Instead, they listened to the commander’s orders and raised the three-meter-long saber in their hands.

“Hack!” A very straightforward voice fell. The five Zhang Clan Heavy Cavalry riders at the front swung out their three-meter-long sabers.

The length of the knife makes it difficult for anyone to get close to them. The distance of three meters was like an insurmountable chasm for the huns, making them threatened by the blade before this distance. Two of the soldiers could not restrain their horses and were hit by the long saber. Immediately, they were drenched in blood and fell from their horses with the saber.

On such a narrow street, Zhangjiajun’s heavy cavalry could not fully play their role. Only five people could fight at a time, greatly weakening their combat strength.

However, as an opponent, the Xiongnu soldiers also encountered the same problem. To launch a large-scale attack in such an environment, they could only attack several people at a time. This made the advantage of the Zhang Clan’s heavy cavalry even more obvious.

Nearly a thousand xiongnu soldiers were squeezed in this narrow street, on can’t, can’t back.

“Charge, charge forward.” Seeing that the cavalry in front of him had actually stopped, Attila shouted angrily. Even though he knew that the terrain was unfavorable, he didn’t seem to have any other choice now. If he didn’t continue attacking, Zeng Lian would probably be unable to withstand it anymore.

Attila shouted loudly, causing the thousands of Xiongnu cavalry in front of him to have to continue to charge. That was a process that they would charge even if they knew they were dead.

At that moment, blood flowed down the streets, killing more than 20 people. Only then did the Xiongnu soldiers rush to the front of the five Zhang Family heavy cavalry, and then the broadsword in their hands began to greet the Zhang Family heavy cavalry.

“Dang dang dang dang dang …”

This was the sound of the broadsword hitting the black armor.

But let xiongnu soldiers didn’t expect, their hands without and disadvantageous broadsword, at this time is indeed on the black armor, actually only played a little spark, actually can’t hurt these heavy cavalry.

How would they know that the reason why the Zhang Clan’s heavy cavalry were said to be elites was precisely because their equipment was the result of a huge investment by Zhang Chao? It was like these armors were made of fine steel. Each piece was worth more than fifty infantry units combined.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to withstand some ordinary sword attacks.

A burst of sparks flashed, and none of the Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry was injured. For a moment, a trace of despair appeared in Xiongnu Bing’s eyes.

“Team one, retreat, team two.” When the huns soldiers somewhat don’t know where to start, zhang jiajun heavy cavalry team came from the command of the battalion commander. After that, the five Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry who were the first to fight head-on with them retreated, and the five people in the second row took over.

The second row came up, still waving the three-meter-long saber in his hand to cut down, I wonder how many more Xiongnu soldiers were cut on horseback. Then, when they were a little exhausted, the second team retreated and changed to the third team.

Five at a time. A thousand-man team could use this method to attack twenty times, and then their physical strength was basically restored. Who would be able to defeat them if they were to repeat it like this?

Xiongnu cavalry in succession killed and injured more than a hundred people, finally found the opponent’s horror. They began to retreat without any hope, and no one listened to Attila’s orders.

Attila looked at his cavalry retreating like a tidal wave with a look of despair in his eyes. He never thought that Zhang Chao would have such a powerful cavalry under him. Even so, why bother pretending to be weak? It is said that the Han people are cunning, so it seems that it is not bad.

Just as Attila was still thinking about how to break through the Zhang Clan’s heavy cavalry and rush over to rescue Zeng Lian, a scene that made him happy appeared. That was when the Zhang Clan’s heavy cavalry team started to stir, as if they were in a mess.

“Look, the other party is in a mess. Warriors, follow me.” Attila saw this scene precisely, and her face was filled with excitement. Then, she took the lead in waving her saber and rushed forward.
