"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Before the first volley of arrows had even finished, the enemy's counterattack had already arrived.
The Qiang cavalrymen displayed a skill that was difficult for most Han people to achieve. They quickly drew their bows and loaded their arrows.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
It was also a rain of sharp arrows!
Although the Qiang people's horse bows were less powerful than the advanced weapons of the imperial army, their accurate archery skills made up for this deficiency.
"Pfft! Puff! Puff!"
Even with the shield formation, there were still many people who were hit by the arrows.
Many of the people who were hit by the arrows grunted and were knocked to the ground by the huge impact.
At this moment, the Central Army's good discipline was displayed.
Those who weren't seriously injured only gritted their teeth and maintained their brazen expressions, firmly holding onto their battle posts.
The soldiers who had lost their combat ability were quickly dragged to the rear by their comrades on the second line, and their positions were quickly filled by others.
After two volleys of arrows, both sides suffered casualties.
The enemy cavalry that was charging the fastest had already appeared in front of the formation!
"Spear!"
Following the order, rows of sharp 'spikes' emerged from the back of the shield.
The moment they were about to collide with the army formation, the enemy knights turned their horses around and circled around.
Although the military technology of the cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty had made great progress, it was still far from the golden age.
Due to the limitations of stirrups, armor, weapons, and other factors, the cavalry of this era rarely used a frontal assault to fight the enemy like the armored cavalry of later generations or the medieval knights.
Commander Hwa Xiong clearly understood that clashing head-on with the tight infantry formation was undoubtedly a foolish choice.
"Scatter!"
He shouted and ordered his subordinates to split into two teams, moving to the left and right.
From his observations, he knew that the Central Army was still preparing for battle in a hurry. Although the front defense was extremely tight, there were definitely flaws in other places that had not been perfected in time!
As long as he could find these loopholes, with the unparalleled mobility of his cavalry, even if the enemy had more people, he could still take the initiative on the battlefield.
"Rumble!"
The cavalrymen moved efficiently.
Although they looked messy on the surface, they were actually quite disciplined. Even the rebellious Qiang people strictly carried out the orders of their commander.
This was all thanks to Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Pangzi was young, he especially liked to befriend the Qiang people. He had always been chivalrous. Not only did he get the title of "Jian Xia", but he also won the friendship and respect of the Qiang people and the border people.
Because of this, the Qiang and Han people in Dong Zhuo's army were able to have nothing to do with each other and were willing to work together towards the same goal.
Under Hwa Xiong's command, the soldiers wisely avoided direct combat. They returned fire with bows and arrows while trying to find flaws in the enemy's formation.
Suddenly, a guard shouted,""Commander, over there!"
Hwa Xiong looked at the direction the other party was pointing at, and his brain started working quickly. In the end, he made a judgment.
That was not a flaw that the Central Army had deliberately exposed, but a loophole!
"Charge!"
Hwa Xiong brandished his spear and charged in with a black torrent!
"Peng!
The fragile defense was instantly shattered!
Just as he had expected, the Central Army had not had the time to perfect this area. It was indeed a weakness!
"Charge!"
Hwa Xiong took the lead and raised his spear to attack. For a moment, it was as if he had entered a no-man's land.
He commanded his subordinates to charge in all directions while summoning his allies outside the formation to further expand the gap in the enemy's formation.
Suddenly, a tall shield wall came into view not far away.
Hwa Xiong was stunned at first, then he revealed a fierce gaze like a jackal.
The shield wall was thick, tall, and sturdy. Its defense was tighter than anywhere else.
It didn't take much to know that there was a huge fish on the other side of the shield wall!
"Charge over there!"
Hwa Xiong was extremely excited, and he could not be bothered to give any commands. He immediately led a group of extremely fierce subordinates and charged towards the shield wall.
As more and more Central Army soldiers gathered around the shield wall, he was more and more certain that his target was there!
"Roar!"
A beast-like roar sounded.
Relying on his terrifying individual bravery, Hwa Xiong killed like a tiger, and the Central Army that he fought with were no match for him.
Hwa Xiong's elite personal guards also displayed a frightening fighting strength. With astonishing efficiency, they cleared all the obstacles around the main general.
Just like that, Hwa Xiong managed to cut a bloody path through the tight formation and successfully arrived in front of the shield formation.
Although his mount had fallen and he had been shot by a few arrows, Hwa Xiong's killing intent was getting stronger.
"Boom!"
The spear smashed down with a strange force, directly sending the soldiers on the other side of the shield formation flying.
The personal guards also understood that this was the most critical moment. They all made suicidal lunges, further disrupting the shield formation that had a loophole.
Finally, the shield formation collapsed!
Hwa Xiong threw a warrior who tried to stop him far away. Then, a young man in gorgeous armor entered his sight.
The Emperor! He should be the emperor!
Hwa Xiong licked his lips and rushed over with a ferocious expression!
Success!
The emperor has really been captured by me!
Money, beauties, power, and glory were all in his hands!
Just as countless beautiful things appeared in front of Hwa Xiong's eyes.
Suddenly.
"Boom!"
A thunderous voice sounded.
In the next moment, Hwa Xiong's beast-like body flew far away!
