"Report, the rebels are arrayed on the right bank of Beiluoshui!"

Wu Hu Huaizhong sneered, this Huangfu Ke is really brave and full of confidence.

"How many are there?"

"It's about three or five thousand!"

The infantry was one against the cavalry, and Wu Hu Huaizhong's face twitched faintly, did Huangfu Ke do this without his own strength, or was it an insult to the warriors of the Tongluo Division?

If they faced each other head-to-head in the field, the warriors of Tongrabe could use 1,000 men against 10,000 people, and it was a stupid decision for these 5,000 people to put themselves in danger. However, Wu Hu Huaizhong had suffered a lot of losses under Qin Jin before, and had also learned the cunning of the Han people, so he felt that there was inevitably some trickery in such an obvious flaw.

But the two sides of the Beiluo River are really not a place where you can hide the ambush soldiers, and as far as the eye can see, you can almost see it at a glance within a radius of ten miles. These 5,000 people are so stunned to set up a formation on the right bank of Beiluoshui, which can be said to be both an attractive bait and a piece of fat to be slaughtered.

Wuhu Huaizhong grunted in his throat, but he finally resisted the urge to rush forward. There is more than one place where Beiluoshui can cross the river, so why bother only staring at one place!

"Leave the rebels more than five miles away and cross the Beiluoshui!"

He wanted to see what tricks Huang Fu Ke had, and he was not worried that the five thousand rebels were behind him, because in a field battle, unless the cavalry took the initiative to charge the infantry formation, it would be difficult for the infantry to threaten the cavalry. Cavalry can rely on their excellent mobility to leave their foot soldiers far behind.

Keeping a distance of five miles from the 5,000-strong rebels to cross the river, even if they reacted and planned to attack halfway, it would be too late.

What's more, Wu Hu Huaizhong is very sure in his heart, there is still the main force of the Shenwu Army behind them, if these five thousand people are so still, there can only be one result waiting for them.

After the 1,000 Tongluo cavalry made a feint to the east, they immediately turned to the west, and the location where Wuhu Huaizhong crossed the river was chosen near the upper reaches of Beiluoshui. At the same time, however, a hundred-strong cavalry marched out of the cavalry, like a sharp arrow piercing the rebel army.

This is a tempting force, not to attack, but to disrupt the other side's line of sight.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot out and fell from the sky!

"Oh no!

** The weapons are very sophisticated, and they often dare to shake the cavalry head-on with foot soldiers, relying on heavy crossbows and Mo knives.

Wu Hu Huaizhong immediately realized that these rebels, unlike the Tang troops he had encountered in Hebei Province and Tugi Province, seemed to have a strong will to fight, and they were also familiar with sophisticated weapons. Judging from these two rounds of arrow rain alone, it is by no means weak and deceitful.

At the same time, Wu Hu Huaizhong was also glad that he did not underestimate the enemy too lightly, and rushed forward rashly, and he suddenly understood why this Tang army had such courage to fight against the water.

Suddenly, Ugo Huaizhong's pupils contracted rapidly, and an excited look shot out of his pupils, he hadn't met such a tough opponent for a long time, and his strong competitive spirit drove him to change his mind.

"Warriors of the Tongluo tribe, raise your bows and arrows and sabers, and kill all these rebels!"

With the order of Wuhu Huaizhong, the warriors of the 1,000 Tongluo tribe turned sharply like their fingers.

……

"Captain, it's Hu!"

The bearded captain raised his eyes and saw a tiger and wolf-like cavalry rushing out of the yellow sand rolled up in the distance, all with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and they all had the appearance of a bearded person.

"Damn, did you let the Hu people rush in?" The bearded captain is named Zhou Kuo, and his subordinates are all brave men who have been fighting with him for many years, and when they saw the Hu cavalry rushing in front of them, they all pursed their mouths and waited for the order of the main general.

"Captain, isn't it the Shenwu Army that is thriving in Chang'an City?

Zhou Kuo spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the yellow earth, "Damn, it doesn't matter if he is a Shenwu army or a dog, kill as many as you want, the crossbowman is ready, start with four hundred steps, and shoot three rounds in a row!"

Five thousand armor soldiers suddenly agreed, they had the most proud heavy crossbows in their hands, and the effective range could even reach more than 400 paces, and they were absolutely sure to suppress this Hu cavalry at this short distance.

"Captain, look, Hu Gou has divided his troops" When Kankan was close to a distance of 400 paces, the Hu cavalry suddenly divided into two teams on the left and right, one to the left of the military formation, and the other to the right side of the military formation. ！

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ruan frowned, and sure enough, the first round of arrow rain was missed, the second round of arrow rain was missed, and the third round of arrow rain was also missed.

Hu was born to be a warrior on horseback, and they made sharp turns left and right with skillful horsemanship, and they happened to avoid three rounds of arrow rain lightly and skillfully.

"Damn, Hu Gou has learned to be cunning, and the heavy crossbow is divided into two teams on the left and right, shooting three rounds in a row!"

Zhou Kuo was not discouraged, this was the beginning of the fierce battle, so far, there has been no one who has been able to withstand more than ten rounds of continuous fire from the ** heavy crossbow without collapsing.

It's a pity that the three rounds of arrows just now missed the shot, wasting the precious physical strength of the heavy crossbowman. However, he also knew that the opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting, and if he didn't decisively seize the fighter, he might let the Hugou cavalry rush to the front of the military formation, so his subordinates would see that the cavalry would be hard to shake the iron flow of the cavalry with their flesh and blood, which was definitely not something that the human body could bear.

Heavy crossbowmen are generally able to open the heavy crossbow no more than ten times in a short period of time, and their strength has been consumed by now, but after hearing the order of the main general, they still pull the crossbow and wind it without hindrance.

However, the speed of the Hu cavalry was too fast, and they roared past the front of the military formation, swimming left and right like a nimble snake, making it difficult for the crossbowmen to lock on to their targets.

Zhou Kuo's complexion changed abruptly, and he immediately realized that he had underestimated the strength of this Hu cavalry. These people are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, constantly changing directions from side to side, in order to exhaust their patience and physical strength.

"Doggy cunning ......"

This time, Zhou Kuo did not rush to give the order to shoot, but asked the crossbowmen to mark the target in advance on the route of the cavalry's advance, and after the order to fire was given, the spring-like feathered arrows shot out all over the sky and fell down like a torrential rain.

The Hu cavalry did not.

To be spared again, a rain of arrows finally smashed right in the middle of the iron stream, which was like throwing boulders one after another in a big river, startling one huge wave after another.

Suddenly, bursts of cheers erupted in the military formation, this round of arrow rain will at least make Hu Gou lose dozens of cavalry and dozens of war horses, although the number is not very large, but the crossbow arrows are all broken limbs and arms, or killed on the spot, which caused the other party's heart, which is definitely far more than the death of dozens of people.

……

Wuhu Huaizhong gritted his teeth, his fellow Luo warriors had been defeated by Qin Jin's hands, and even the leader Du Mo died tragically under the heavy crossbow of the Tang army, and later under various coincidences, he surrendered to Qin Jin. Later, he learned from the pain, carefully studied the tactics of Qin and Jin's military training, and found that the ** heavy crossbow is almost an insurmountable gap, as long as the heavy crossbow arrows fall like rain, it will inevitably set off a rain of flesh and blood. But this kind of heavy crossbow is not invincible and omnipotent.

Although the heavy crossbow has an extremely long range and is extremely powerful, it has another weakness that cannot be ignored. Every time you pull the crossbow, you have to step on the tread ring at the crossbow head with your foot, and then force the bow to open with the force of your waist, which consumes a lot of strength.

Therefore, the elite foot soldiers in the Tang army have been carefully screened, not only to be able to draw strong bows and crossbows, but also to be familiar with hand-to-hand weapons such as knives and guns. Those who can meet these conditions can take them to the battlefield, such as Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and other famous generals, who can run rampant in the Western Regions and destroy the country at every turn, relying on this kind of elite with amazing combat power.

Moreover, the more elite ones in the ** are good at using the Mo knife, and they will even become a nightmare for the cavalry at a critical moment. It's a pity that with the three northeastern towns of the Tang Dynasty following the An Lushan rebels, the combat power of Longyoushuo has declined greatly, and the elites who can meet this standard have almost become rare except for the ** in Anxi.

However, after all, the Anxi Army was far away in the Western Regions, and it would take at least a few months to march to Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty could not give up the Western Regions that had been operating for many years, so even in the most stretched situation, the Tang Dynasty still did not order the Anxi Army to be transferred back.

Therefore, based on this judgment, Wuhu Huaizhong stayed in Guanzhong and even the Central Plains, at most, he would be able to use the heavy crossbow, and the heavy crossbow would be exhausted after ten rounds. As long as they can survive the opponent's ten rounds of crossbow volleys, these soldiers will become fish to be slaughtered.

Ugo Huaizhong has been silently counting the number of rounds of the opponent's volley, and it has been nearly nine rounds now, which means that they can still shoot three salvos at most.

It's a pity that the other party's luck is good, and there is a volley that just smashed in the middle of the Tongluo warriors, and a large number of casualties were immediately killed. If they were fledgling fledglings, perhaps a round of crossbow arrows would bring the cavalry to the brink of collapse. However, the cavalry under the command of Wuhu Huaizhong are all Tongluo warriors who have survived a hundred battles, they have fought with the Khitans, fought with the **, and even fought with the Youzhou Army of An Lushan and the Liaodong Army.

How could the warriors of the Tongluo tribe, who had experienced many battle formations, be on the verge of collapse because of a rain of arrows?

"Warriors, grit your teeth and hold on, as long as you hold out for a while, the rebels will be fat sheep to be slaughtered!"

Ugo Huaizhong's voice was high-pitched and full of longing for victory, and he only heard the cavalry warriors who survived the rain of arrows shouting, shouting, and cursing in Turkic language, and the two streams of iron gradually hovered from left to right to become firm and sharp, like a sharp long knife.

Finally, another round of arrows from the rebels fell sharply, this time Wuhu Huaizhong no longer dodged, and the warriors of Tongluo were not cowards who only knew how to dodge, they were like wild wolves, like poisonous snakes, staring at the rebels' flanks and biting down hard.
