Chapter 1036: East Becomes West (29)
At the end of her field of vision, a black line was slowly approaching this side, and the two sides invariably chose to fight today, this small place called Naiman Banner is destined to be dyed red with blood today.
Looking at the cavalry of the Qin army who was getting closer and closer and clearer in the field of vision, Gu Li's face turned slightly pale, and even Toppler next to her could hear her teeth clenched.
"It's Li Xin's ironclad cavalry!" Guli is authentic word by word. Of course, she will not forget this army, Yingying first used light cavalry to contain the fleeing troops of the Xiongnu court, and then killed the remnants of the royal court with the ironclad cavalry. The sabre of the Huns could not cut through the opponent's iron armor at all, this kind of monster that even wore armor on horses, without fear of arrows, without fear of knives, the only thing that had lethality to them was heavy objects, but where could the fleeing Xiongnu royal court still organize a considerable number of heavy weapon troops, in order to escape faster, those burdens had long been discarded.
"Guli, how to deal with these monsters?" Topler's face changed dramatically.
"These iron guys are not afraid, they can only sprint for a hundred meters at most and then they will lose their strength, so they can only move slowly, and they can only play if the opponent is surrounded." Gu Li said lightly. Topler, give the order that all our cavalry be divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and go around these heavy cavalry at speed. Organize all of our men to wield heavy weapons, such as chain hammers, iron vertebrae, meteor hammers, etc."
"Hundreds of people should be found." Topler Road.
"Okay, organize them, run around these iron horses, attack them with these heavy weapons, they are not flexible, just throw what they have in their hands, it is enough to knock them down."
"Understood!"
"The light riders must have speed, they can't get close to these iron riders, they have the ability to make a sprint, and if they hit them, they will either die or be injured. The light cavalry dodged their ironclad troops and went to fight the light cavalry of the Qin army! Once you find the ironclad heavy cavalry approaching, immediately leave the battle and look for an opportunity to fight again!"
"Yes!" Toppler replied loudly.
Gu Li stared at the Qin army in front of her, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Topler had not left, and couldn't help asking: "Topler, what are you hesitating about, the military situation is like fire, and if you delay a little time, you will die."
Topler hesitated for a moment and said, "Guli, who are you?" Are you still the Guli I know?"
Gu Lilen paused for a moment, gently stroked the helmet on his head with a crack, and said softly: "Topler, you don't need to know who I used to be, you just need to know that I am He Dayou's woman now, and I will only be his woman in the future, it's enough."
A smile appeared on Toppler's face, "Okay, that's good, then I'll be relieved." Turning around and slapping the horse's buttocks, he flew away from the mountain beam and went to the rear to give the order. Toppler had already vaguely guessed Gu Li's identity, because yesterday, he was also in the lofty tent, but he was He Dayou's friend for many years, so he would rather believe that the Gu Li in front of him was just Gu Li.
Li Xin did invest a lot of money this time, he only had a thousand ironclad cavalry, this kind of team is useless, the role it can play is really limited, it can only be used in some specific situations, but as long as they can fight with the enemy, victory will always be on their side.
Li Xin trusts his cavalry very much in dealing with these herdsmen who have no combat literacy at all, and will easily use the change of formation to surround the herdsmen in one place, and then can charge back and forth with heavy cavalry, and easily kill these guys who are scurrying all over the ground.
That's what Yingying did back then, and in the end, the Xiongnu court was killed and no one was left. Li Xin rode firmly on his horse and headed in the direction of Jishi City, Yan Haibo should have known that he was approaching him, but he didn't retreat, although he was advancing with a turtle, he was still advancing, which made Li Xin a little curious, could it be that this young general, who was only twenty-five years old, really wanted to fight with him?
And in Naimanqi, the battle has already begun.
Riding a jujube red horse, wielding the scimitar in her hand, Gu Li led her cavalry around in a large circle, cutting precisely through the gap between the ironclad cavalry and the Qin army's light cavalry. And at the moment of cutting in, some men with heavy weapons in their hands broke away from the team, and the iron spine, iron hammer, and meteor hammer in their hands flew towards those monsters who were wearing iron armor with the sound of the wind.
The speed of the ironclad cavalry's slow advance became slower, they raised a hand, in their hand, tied a large shield, in the rumbling sound, the large shield was recessed inward, for a while, I don't know how many arms were broken, but there were very few people who fell off the horse, obviously, these ironclad heavy cavalry had their own set of methods for how to deal with heavy weapons, for them, even if they gave up an arm, the impact of their own body alone was enough to kill the enemy.
The ranks of the ironclad cavalry sounded a dull horn, with a heavy roar, the ironclad cavalry raised their hands, each in their hands, holding a three-foot-long iron javelin, the body bow, the arm swinged back, suddenly thrown forward, a javelin off the arrow like an arrow flying forward, just after throwing the heavy weapons in the hand of the herdsman has not had time to stay away, the javelin has arrived, these javelins are surprisingly powerful, next to a shot, often piercing the whole body, regardless of the centaurs, it is so. A round of javelins was thrown, and only twenty or thirty of the more than 100 herdsmen who had just approached these ironclad cavalry escaped by chance.
Gu Li just glanced back, then turned her head again, and in front of her, a cavalry of the Qin army was already coming towards her. Gu Li raised her left hand, and in her left hand, she held the riding crossbow that He Dayou gave her when she was leaving.
With a crash, more than ten paces away, the crossbow pierced through the opponent's leather armor and pierced into the opponent's chest. He didn't even see the enemy, and he lost his life.
The sound of collapse sounded twice, and then two horses fell off their horses, almost at the same moment, countless crossbows shot out of the crossbow arrows in their hands, but the rain was frightened and angry, he had been fighting with these herdsmen for more than ten days, and dozens of small battles had been fought dozens or hundreds, and he had never seen these herdsmen have riding crossbows, something that only the regular army of the Han army had, and actually took out the opponent when they were fighting. This made him a little suspicious. In a short moment, the unprepared Qin army had already fallen off their horses with hundreds of horses.
After the three crossbow arrows were fired, the two sides had collided together, and the correct reaction at this time should be to throw away the crossbow horse in their hands, the regular cavalry generally does this, but these herdsmen cherish the hard-won weapons in their hands too much, and they are busy inserting the crossbow in their hands in their waists, the cavalry fights, and the gap between life and death is between the lightning and the flint, where the herdsmen are so distracted, the Qin army lying on the horse has been getting up, the spear in his hand, the saber has been waved straight over, and in the screams, the herdsmen have fallen off their horses.
Guli knew what to do, but she, like the herdsmen, stuck the crossbow into her waist, because it belonged to her husband and had his husband's name engraved on it. In this short moment, a spear stabbed in front of him, Gu Li screamed, the whole person fell backwards, and his back was almost attached to the horse's back, it seemed that this scream scared the cavalry on the opposite side, maybe the other party heard from this scream that the opposite person was actually wrapped in leather armor was actually a woman, a shot stabbed out of the air, and the Qin cavalry on the opposite side actually took a flute, this flute, let Gu Li, who was in crisis, find an opportunity, inserted the hand of the crossbow and quickly lifted up, and grabbed the opponent's spear, The scimitar in his hand was slashed down against the spear, the two horses were staggered, Qin Jun screamed, eight fingers holding the spear were cut off, the spear was snatched away by Gu Li's hand, Gu Li did not look back, with a feeling, the spear that was snatched over stabbed behind him, feeling the feeling of obstruction, she exerted her force, the spear was crooked to the side, Gu Li let go, and there was a heavy sound of falling horses behind her.
Gu Li stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, only to feel that her body was cold, just at that moment, it was really two heavens of life and death, if the opponent did not take a moment, it would be her own death, touched the crossbow on her waist, but Gu Li smiled, if she did it again, she would still choose like this, it was the crossbow riding of her lame husband.
The attack on the ironclad soldiers continued, the herdsmen with heavy weapons rushed up in waves, ran around the ironclad heavy horses, ran this palace and threw the heavy weapons in their hands, with the experience of the previous attack, the later herdsmen were faster, but when it came to the results, they were still unsatisfactory, the ironclad soldiers moved forward unhurriedly, sometimes even stopped, and turned slowly, but every time they threw the javelin, it could cause great damage to the herdsmen, a javelin is easy to dodge, But when you're faced with dozens of javelins, there's no other way to go than to meet death.
"Give up attacking the ironclads and get around them, they won't be able to run long before they will be exhausted and stopped." In the midst of the fight, Guli said loudly to Topler beside him: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, let them give up."
But Yu's face was pale, obviously, this time the herdsmen in front of them got the logistical support of Jishi City, so that they got the riding crossbow that the regular army would equip only the regular army, the wealth of the Han army made Danyu very jealous, riding the crossbow, the Qin army was not not developed, but because it was too delicate and expensive, there was no money for large-scale equipment, but the Han State was able to send them to these herdsmen.
Fortunately, these herdsmen really don't have any combat quality, after the initial moment of shock, but the rain calmed down, using the ironclad cavalry to restrain him, he began to wave the command flag in an orderly manner, mobilizing the cavalry under his command to go back and forth, seemingly aimlessly interspersed with only one ultimate purpose, that is, to force these herdsmen into a small environment unconsciously, and then use the ironclad cavalry's sprint to carry out a large number of kills, and then the second time, the third time.
