Chapter 752: An Old Friend After Many Years
When a group of cavalry confronts the foot soldiers who have lost their formation and scattered and fled, it is a massacre for the foot soldiers, and the cavalry will easily knock away individual soldiers who try to resist, and easily harvest their lives with their swords and knives with the speed and weight of their horses.
But in the same way, the cavalry, which lost its speed, was the best target for archers and crossbowmen. It was only after more than a thousand years that the West really realized the lethality of bows and arrows, especially the longbow and heavy crossbow, which was an armor-piercing weapon for heavy cavalry.
What's more, now in order to win, Zha Tiansheng actually let Hu Qi catch up and block the gate of the camp, and the strong camp, the relatively small camp gate, and there is no way for Hu Qi to launch a full-scale offensive, so he can only line up at the gate of the camp honestly to check the tickets.
Now Hu Qi's hard waiting has finally paid off in return, they don't have to continue to struggle in this filthy and painful world, and tickets from the world of death are being distributed for free......
As long as the crossbow machine is not damaged and the number of crossbows is sufficient, the crossbowmen can maintain a fairly long period of time to continuously and stably fire crossbow arrows, on the contrary, the archers who fire at high frequency are prone to physical exhaustion, resulting in the bowstring cutting the wrist or fingers, and the accuracy and strength of the shot will be reduced.
But even though their fingers were cut bloody by the bowstring, many archers on the wall still persisted, standing with the crossbowmen, cursing and firing their bows and arrows, as if this would add a freshly baked curse to their arrows and add some inexplicable power.
For a while, "melon skin" and "broken cowardice" flew together, and "wet mud north" and "mother" were the same color......
Zada Katsu was really stunned.
Even many of the Hu cavalry were the same, and the sudden change almost refreshed their three views, just like the soldiers who shot each other in formation during the First World War met the Marcosin machine gun.
How is this possible?
More than 1,000 rides, even if you want to fight, you have to fight for a while, even if you can't beat it, most of them should be able to run out!
The gate of the Han army's camp was like a demon's open mouth, swallowing more than a thousand Hu Qi in one gulp, as if it was effortless, and licking his tongue unfinished, revealing more greedy lips and teeth......
How long did it take for more than 1,000 horsemen to rush into the camp and be wiped out?!
Katsu Zada couldn't believe his eyes.
Since Emperor Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, perhaps because of the decline of national strength, perhaps because of the cumbersome casting of crossbow machines, or some other reasons, the crossbow has gradually withdrawn from the battlefield, and naturally disappeared from the sight of the Hu people, and now after half a century, when the strong crossbow once again stepped on the stage of war, the Hu people once again proved that the posture of the strong crossbow is still so coquettish and enchanting.
Zhatiansheng was stunned, but Zhang Jike was not stunned.
At that time, when the scouts reported that there were a large number of traces of Hu cavalry, Zhang Ji took the cavalry to stay behind a forest about ten miles south of the Yulin camp under the arrangement of Fei Qian.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker a little bit, Zhang Ji didn't wait for the signal, and sent a lot of scouts to take turns to snoop, when he heard that Hu Qi defeated the Yong'an camp and began to attack the camp, he couldn't sit still at all, and asked the scouts over and over again if they had seen the Double Rabbit Flag, and repeatedly confirmed whether it was the reason for the sky that the scouts didn't see clearly......
The scout swore that there were torches lit on the central platform, and he could see it, and he saw other flags being raised, but he didn't see the Twin Rabbit Flags......
Zhang Ji had personally seen the tragic situation of the Xiliang cavalry attacking the Feiqian position, so it was indeed a little surprising to say that Hu Cai could break through the camp so easily, but the scout made it clear that there were other banners in operation, and there was no double rabbit flag, which means that the central command is still operating, and the stable command on the central platform shows that the situation is not as bad as it seems......
But that's not for sure!
Zhang Ji, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, had no choice but to send scouts to check again and again, and he kicked the small tree next to him to relieve the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
When Zhang Ji poisoned the third tree, a scout rushed and shouted from afar: "Flag! The flag is up! The Flying Bird Flag and the Double Rabbit Flag are up! ”
"It's good!" Zhang Ji shouted loudly to the Xiliang cavalry beside him, "Broken babies, get on the horse!" Pound the ditch and go! ”
The surrounding Xiliang cavalry suddenly agreed, and once again checked whether the leather armor on the war horse and the armor on their bodies were fastened, and then turned over and got on the horse, followed Zhang Ji out of the woods, and galloped towards the Yulin camp.
The Xiliang cavalry had only recently turned to Fei Qian's command, although it was said that they had met on the battlefield before, but for ordinary soldiers, there was not much boring hatred between each other, whether it was before or now. Being a soldier is originally a business that is ready to lose his head at any time, not to mention that soldiers just follow orders.
The horses of these cavalry under the direct command of Zhang Ji are the original Xiliang horses, these war horses are about a head higher than the horses of Bingzhou, the body is long and the legs are very explosive, the distance of ten miles is just to warm up, and the riders are comrades who have cooperated with each other for a long time, and then after the initial chaos, they gradually stepped on the same pace, and the sound of dense horse hooves was almost knocked at the same moment, and the Xiliang iron cavalry of more than five hundred horses was like a whole, under the cover of the gradually dimming sky, forming a forward formation, and the remaining more than 800 Hu Qi, who were recruited in Binh Duong, followed behind to form a loose fan, and came straight to the side and rear of Zha Tiansheng along the road!
The sky effectively concealed the towering smoke and dust raised by the cavalry galloping at high speed, and it was not until the outer Hu cavalry of Zhatiansheng noticed the tremor of the earthquake that they noticed the Zhang Ji cavalry rushing from the side and rear.
The horn sounded hastily, and Zada Katsu tried to order the cavalry in the rear to turn, but it was too late. Zhang Ji and the Xiliang cavalry didn't stop for even a moment, and directly crashed into the loose cavalry queue of Zha Tiansheng!
The impact of the heavy cavalry was once again perfectly displayed, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in armor was like a small tank and rushed violently, the riders of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry focused on half leaning over, using the small round iron shield in their left hand to knock away some attacks that might endanger themselves or the horses, and the right hand was a horizontal saber, and they didn't even need to swing it, but just let the high-speed horses drive the sharp ring head knife to cut through all the objects that dared to block the road.
The tall horse clusters crushed like mountains, and in the face of the Xiliang iron cavalry that rushed rapidly, the cavalry under Zha Tiansheng subconsciously dodged to both sides, and there was no way to resist......
