Chapter 1260: Cavalry Duel
"Fire!" Li Yongtang seized the opportunity when the Khitans were stunned, and immediately ordered the second wave of solid shells to be fired.
Unlike chain bullets, which are mainly strangulation, solid bullets play a role mainly in the bouncing bombardment, which has a magical effect on cavalry charging in clusters.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Dozens of solid bullets were disarmed from the muzzles, carrying the divine power of destroying heaven and earth, revealing hideous magic, and smashed viciously into the crowd of the leather room army.
In the dense crowd of "Boom ......", almost every solid bullet has made a major gain.
"Ah......" A Khitan man was hit in the chest by a solid bullet, and suddenly the blood and arrows rushed to the sky, the bones were broken and the flesh was rotten, and he only had time to scream for half a time, and then he died.
After the solid bullet smashed through the Khitan, it immediately changed the direction of the bombardment, and after smashing a small pit in the ground, it bounced diagonally, smashing a huge blood hole in the abdomen of the war horse under the crotch of another Khitan.
The Khitan people on horseback fell to the ground before they understood the taste, and in an instant, they were trampled into meat sauce by countless iron hooves.
"Divine arm crossbow, three-stage strike, release!" Li Yongtang seized the opportunity of the largest cross-section of the Khitan array, and did not hesitate to order the bow and crossbow battalion to open fire.
Unlike the point attack of artillery, the Divine Arm Crossbow is a sharp weapon for surface attack, almost in the blink of an eye, and the side array of the Khitans is greatly dented by the whole one.
Thousands of divine arm crossbows, attacking enemies without any resistance without stopping, the result is naturally a one-sided massacre!
"Ah...... Save me......" The Khitans, who were shot through the chest by the god's arm crossbow and saw that they were dead, but they were not yet dead, cried for help one after another.
The solid projectile was in the array of the Khitans, jumping east and west, causing great panic in the Khitan iron cavalry.
The chain bullets flying in mid-air seemed to be the demon's artifact, recklessly harvesting the hands, feet, legs, and even lives of the Khitans.
"Uh-huh, yes, great job!" Li Zhongyi glanced at the almost half-empty Khitan charging queue, put down the monoculars in his hand, and said with a satisfied smile, "Li Yongtang's killing skills have become more and more proficient!" ”
Gao Qiang smiled and said: "The Lord has opened the door for Li Yongtang to be open to training, so that he can achieve today's results." ”
This sycophant is very comfortable, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but squint his eyes, and said with a smile: "If I win, I will win the country, Li Yongtang will be promoted to become rich, and his wife will be crowned, this deal is really cost-effective!" ”
Zhang Sanzheng said with a smile: "The big guy has followed the Lord from Hechi, isn't the picture just to be a master?" ”
Li Zhongyi couldn't help laughing, Zhang Sanzheng is really a wonderful person, and the sycophants he shoots are very different and ingenious!
The so-called one inch is long and one inch is strong, this is a very reasonable logic.
The advantage of the Khitans is that they are skilled in bows and horses, but the ruthless weapons of the Li family's army, whether it is artillery or the strike distance of the divine arm crossbow, are much longer than ordinary riding bows.
The bow used by the infantry is not suitable for use on horses. The Khitans, who were mainly cavalry, except for a very small number of people, used riding bows.
The Khitan people's bow and crossbow technology was originally many times inferior to that of the Great Zhou, and the riding bow could not be compared with the infantry bow of the Great Zhou, and the range advantage of the artillery and the divine arm crossbow became more and more obvious.
After two rounds of artillery fire, plus a few rounds of crossbow strikes, the thousand horsemen led by Yelu Hongshan lost hundreds of warriors in the blink of an eye.
When Yelu Hongshan came to his senses, due to the huge casualties, his thousand cavalry battalion immediately lost its combat effectiveness.
"Turn left, turn left......" No matter how Yelu Hongshan called, the surviving Khitan warriors under his command turned their horses' heads one after another and fled north in a hurry.
Li Yong, who had been riding on horseback, also saw it clearly, and he immediately ordered a battalion of cavalry to rush forward and beat the water dogs.
is also cavalry, one side is defeated and flees, and the other side is pursuing, this is Li Yong's favorite battlefield situation, and it is also a situation that Li Zhongyi likes to see.
The cavalry troops of the Li family, which had been recuperating for a long time, rushed over like a flood that had broken the embankment, along the direction of the Khitan retreat.
Li Zhongyi could clearly see from the command vehicle that the pursuit of Li Yong this time was to use a battalion-level cavalry, that is, more than 1,000 cavalry.
Hmm, [M.] Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction, putting aside Li Yong's alien identity, he, a nobleman who is quite superb, is indeed a ruthless character who is proficient in cavalry combat.
The Khitans only came with more than 2,000 cavalry, of which 1,000 of Yeluhongshan had been beaten to pieces, lost their armor, and fled for their lives.
If you don't chase and kill at this time, and defeat the dead dog, when will you wait?
What's even better is that the Li family cavalry who pursued and killed deliberately drove the defeated soldiers of Yelu Hongshan in the direction of Yelu Wanguang.
This is the inverted bead curtain tactic in cavalry combat!
Its purpose was to deliberately drive the defeated army of Yelu Hongshan to disrupt the complete cavalry of Yelu Wanguang.
The ruthlessness of the inverted bead curtain tactic lies in the fact that even if Yelu Wanguang of the rear team saw through Li Yong's poisonous plan, he couldn't parry the past.
Unless, Yelu Wanguang dares to order the defeated army to be shot, otherwise, either his team will also be scattered, or he can only follow the momentum of the defeated army and retreat together!
However, unexpectedly, Yelu Wanguang actually divided his headquarters into two in a very short period of time, and made way of an escape route in the middle.
Li Zhongyi on the command car nodded secretly, Yelu Wanguang's performance was indeed amazing and worthy of appreciation.
At this time, from the main force of the cavalry army, a sharp and dense bamboo whistle suddenly sounded.
After a short effort, the cavalry of the Li family, who was in charge of the pursuit, was immediately divided into two, and about one hundred and fifty cavalrymen pursued and killed them in the direction of the defeat of Yeluhong Mountain.
The rest of the more than 800 cavalry rushed to the left flank of the cavalry, which had been divided into two parts.
Li Zhongyi touched his chin and raised the corners of his mouth high, he handed over the entire cavalry army to Li Yong's command, and he really didn't look at the wrong person!
A small number of cavalry pursued and killed, and only needed to prevent the Khitans from returning to fight again, and they could reap a lot of results!
The main force pounced on the soldiers and horses of Yelu Wanguang, which had been divided into two, and this was exactly in line with the theory of the art of war, and made tactical changes according to local conditions, thus forming a local advantage of fighting more and fighting less.
Because they were too close, the Khitans had to put their bows into their pockets one after another, and drew their swords in their hands, preparing to start a white-knuckle battle with the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians.
However, the cavalry of the Li family's army, each of them wielded a sword in their right hand and a crossbow in their left hand.
Before the two armies were fully in contact, about fifty paces apart, they heard the crunch sound ......of the crossbowstrings of their crossbows one after another.
The Khitans, who were caught off guard, immediately suffered a big loss, and before they officially fought hard, more than 100 Khitan warriors were shot off their horses.
The crossbow in the left hand and the knife in the right hand, this is the unique skill of the cavalry of the Li family's army, and the first cavalry duel showed great power!
