The cavalry of the Western Yan Army, lined up in three lines, separated by about thirty paces, each column of about one hundred and fifty horsemen, close together, only about two steps apart, the war horses did not gallop, but slowly walked forward, the cavalry on the horses, all dressed in two layers of leather armor, or chain mail, even the body of the war horse, also pasted with a horse made of hard leather vest, for the nomadic cavalry, it is already very sophisticated equipment, even if it can not be compared with the armor and cavalry of the iron armor of the men and horses, It can also be regarded as a heavily armored cavalry with excellent protection.

Tan Daoji muttered: "This, is this the legendary armor and cavalry outfit?" ”

Wang Zhenwei shook his head: "No, the real armored cavalry is equipped with men and horses wearing iron armor, ordinary bows and arrows and even ordinary crossbows can not be shot into, rampage on the battlefield, like iron chariots, although these people and horses are wearing armor, but not iron armor, just leather armor, and it can't be invulnerable, the current armor and cavalry equipment of the Xiyan Army are personally in the hands of Murong Yong's Chinese army, and the other departments are this kind of leather armor, although it is not as good as the armor and cavalry, but in front of the ordinary infantry, it is also an obvious advantage." ”

Tan Daoji laughed: "It's a pity, this time they found the wrong opponent, the strong men of the Beifu Army, all of them are iron-blooded men who stand on their fists and horses on their arms, and they have sophisticated equipment, I am afraid that these Xiyan thieves will have no return!" ”

As he spoke, the first front of the Xiyan Army had advanced to less than one hundred and fifty steps away from the position of the Beifu Army, Tan Pingzhi tightened his bowstring, looking coldly ahead, behind him, more than thirty people came out of the shield, and as these people came out, a few pyres began to be lit behind the shield, and black smoke rose with the firelight, gradually drowning everyone's figures in a cloud of smoke.

Duan Damu, who was riding on the second line, saw it clearly, and laughed: "Brothers, do you see it, the Jin army wants to let go of smoke as a cover to escape, don't let them run away, release arrows, release arrows for me, shoot these Jin troops to death!" ”

The cavalry of the first line has advanced to less than a hundred steps away from the formation of the Beifu army at this time, in the smoke, there are vaguely some figures moving back and forth, mixed with inaudible Chinese, these cavalry have set up arrows on the bowstring, and there is a burst of random shooting in the smoke, only a few screams sounded, followed by the sound of the body hitting the ground, of course, more, but when those bows and arrows hit the wooden shield, the sound of "ding" into the wood.

Duan Damu's side, a lieutenant general said excitedly: "Leader, please give an order, I am willing to take the brothers on the front line to clean up the mess, otherwise the Jin army will run away." ”

Duan Damu smiled and waved his hand: "What are you panicking, we have horses, they only have two legs, how can they outrun us, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Boat, just like this, they will march in formation, release arrows as they go, and when the smoke completely clears, everything will be understood." ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the heralds around him quickly issued his orders in the form of words and words, and the forwards of more than 500 people still maintained an intact formation, moving forward step by step, less than fifty steps away from the smoky Jin army array, and even the shields placed in the smoke, as well as the shadows of the crooked and upside-down carts, were clearly visible.

However, just in front of these wooden signs, there is a strong man like an iron tower, a gust of wind blows, blowing the smoke out a little, only to see Tan with it like an iron tower, standing in front of the formation, holding a bow in his left hand, pulling the string in his right hand, the twisted string wrapped by the four strands of animal tendons, tightly stretched on the face, the Xiyan soldiers suddenly found that there was such a big man in front of them, holding the bow to themselves, all of them were in a heart, and they couldn't help but be stunned in place.

Tan Ping shouted violently: "Xiyan Army, Xiyan Army, you have shot enough, now, it's our turn!" ”

As soon as his words fell, his fingers loosened, and the bowstring quickly crossed his tense facial muscles, and there was a terrible whistling sound in the air, this arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, rushing out, and the knights of Xiyan didn't even have time to see how this arrow was shot, they only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and a knight in front of him, from his chest and back, had an extra fist-sized blood hole, and the front and back of the heart added up to four layers of leather armor, plus the entire body, and actually shot this arrow through, and the power of this arrow is so great, After shooting him through, the corpse was still sitting on the horse, not moving, and the man's mouth was wide open, even if he was dead, he didn't understand how the arrow killed him, only the blood holes that were transparent before and after, and the internal organs and blood gushed out like a fountain, and even made people forget to think about where the arrow flew last.

The sound of a long neighing of a war horse, accompanied by the sound of slamming the ground, a horse on the second line, an arrow on the horse's head, directly drilled into the eye, and immediately collapsed to the ground, and the rider on the horse, also fell to the mouth and gnawed on the mud, everyone then understood, this arrow is the arrow that penetrated the first line of riders in front, actually after penetrating this person, the remaining momentum is not exhausted, and flew over thirty steps, killing a mount behind, it can be seen that the power of this arrow, how amazing!

Tan Yizhi's voice sounded coldly, revealing a terrifying killing intent: "Rapid fire, burst!" ”

With Tan Yizhi's order, more than a dozen "corpses" that were originally lying on the ground bounced to the ground, and this time the Xiyan sergeants saw clearly that in their hands, they were all holding strong bows and crossbows, all of which were aimed at the target, and on the contrary, more than 30 sturdy figures were drilled out of the shield in an instant, holding a repeating crossbow, and they pointed at the target almost instantly.

Duan Damu woke up like a dream and shouted: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, shoot them!" ”

But as soon as his words came out, he only heard the sound of a bowstring ringing, but it was not from the first-line cavalry in front of him, but the bows and arrows in the hands of these Beifu Army infantry opposite.

This time, they each aimed at a target, just waiting for Tan to give an order, they let go of their hands and put the strings, only one shot, more than fifty Xiyan cavalry, all of them were eyebrows, eyes, throats and other vital points without armor arrows, almost didn't even have time to snort, one after another fell off their horses and died, the speed was so fast that even many cavalry fallen mounts did not have time to notice, and they were still walking slowly as just now.
