The order was given, but Jingji's heart became more and more uneasy, especially when he could sit on horseback from a long distance and see the chaotic camp, just when Jingji was wondering where something was wrong, a long and sad "report" suddenly came out from the rear. ”！

Jing Ji, who was pondering, chuckled in his heart, and even the expression on his face became panicked for a while, and he hurriedly turned his horse around, and when he saw a half-crooked scout with a bumped helmet running towards him waving the war knife in his hand, and when he was still thirty or forty meters away, he had already begun to shout loudly: "General! The enemy light armored cavalry was found in the rear, and the number was about three or four thousand! We are sprinting behind our army with all our might! ”

"Shhh Jing Ji's body stiffened suddenly, he gasped in his mouth, secretly said that something bad was wrong, and at the same time raised his right arm and began to wave the order: "The whole army listens to the order, turns the horse's head, and prepares to meet the enemy!" After a slight pause, Jing Ji continued to add loudly: "Don't worry, even if this is the other party's ambush, the difference in numbers is too great, everyone will definitely withstand it!" When the reinforcements in the rear arrive, they can be consumed to death! ”

In fact, what will happen to the situation, even Jing Ji has no bottom in his heart at this time, but as the commander of the first army, he has to cheer up the spirit to cheer everyone up, at the same time, even Jing Ji also began to turn around the war horse towards the rear of the army, this move did greatly improve morale, under Jing Ji's leadership, the surrounding soldiers also began to turn around one after another, and the chaotic formation began to slowly recover, and gradually became several cavalry phalanxes that could take care of each other.

The people who came were the Benlei Pioneer Regiment that set off lightly and made a detour back to the rear of Jingji's army, and the number was not large, only 3,000 people, and there were only 3,000 cavalry regiments. The three phalanxes, one in front and two in the back, the finished glyphs were arranged in unison, and they didn't sprint as much as the report just said, but the scouts looked at it from a distance and were frightened by the three squares that echoed each other from afar, so he said that.

With the passage of time, the infantry troops in the large camp also slowly calmed down from the chaotic scene, and began to lead the generals at all levels to reorganize the formation and slowly retreat, and at the same time, under the unanimous discussion of several generals, 500 pikemen were reinforced to the battlefields on the east and west sides.

The winged legions in ambush on both sides did not wait for the pikemen to arrive at all, but after seeing the other party's waves of reinforcements arriving one after another, they turned the rear team into the front team, and each sent a small elite team to break the rear, and then slowly retreated. The enemy troops, who had been hit hard one after another, wanted to chase and kill for a while, but they were stopped by the generals who arrived in time at the end, and with the anger of everyone, the team was reorganized and prepared to move closer to Keiyoshi in the rear.

This battle did not end, Jingji can be said to have lost extremely tragically, the most relied on the thousand-man heavy cavalry regiment suffered more than ninety percent casualties, and more than half of the remaining ten percent were slightly injured. Because the armor was too heavy, he had to take it off when retreating, so as to reduce the weight and save his life.

Even the nearly 10,000 people sent by Jingji to the east and west sides to resist the ambush also lost nearly half of them under the torture of the hussar regiment, although the feathered cavalry regiment was "repulsed" in the end, but everyone was not stupid, and understood that it was the feathered cavalry regiment that would retreat when they saw that they couldn't bargain. Just looking at the rhythm of the retreat, it was not like a rout and fled, but in this way, in the end, the credit for "repelling" the winged cavalry regiment was still implemented on the heads of several generals who led their troops to resist before and after. And those soldiers who died in this battle have become the stepping stones for those generals to succeed in ascending to the throne, at most they will leave a pension for their families afterwards.

After looking back and seeing the soldiers who kept coming from the rear, Jing Ji in the middle of the phalanx was not as angry as just now, after all, at a glance, there was still a black pressure behind him, and there were still 10,000 people up and down, plus four or five thousand people around him at this time, Jing Ji also had confidence in his heart again, and the confidence he had lost gradually recovered, even the waist pole sitting on the horse's back was straighter than just now, and his eyes were even more blazing looking at the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

As they got closer, the dust was raised higher and higher, and everyone's vision became more and more blurred, and they could only see the general outline of the front through the dense dust in front of them.

The standard armor of the Thunder Pioneer Regiment is dark green, and the sunlight at this time shines through the dust mist and sprinkles a gray yellow on it, and from a distance, it looks like a whole forest has been moved under the ravages of sandstorms, and the speed is not slow.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but the pikemen in the rear were not replenished in time, although Jing Ji was also very anxious, but he knew that at this time, it was not who should be held responsible, but a strong defense should be formed.

After all, there are only 3,000 people in the Benlei Pioneer Regiment, and in the face of an enemy army several times its size, if the enemy forces hold back the pace of the charge, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It was with this in mind that Jing Ji repeatedly ordered to shrink the formation, wanting to use crowds to stop the charge. And just when Jing Ji watched that the formation had shrunk repeatedly after he gave the order, and it had reached a situation where he was almost unable to move, the corners of Jing Ji's mouth also had a sneer, and he secretly said in his heart, what kind of Feng family army do you have, this time Lao Tzu swallowed you!

But suddenly, the smile on Jing Ji's face froze, because through the dust raised by the galloping war horse, he saw rows of apertures. After all, he was the commander of the first army, and Jing Ji immediately realized that it was the light reflected by the metal through the sun, although it was still far away and separated by layers of dust, but Jing Ji could still feel that the dazzling light was flashing with a compelling murderous aura.

Judging from the size of the aperture, Keiji quickly realized that it was not a riding spear, nor a spear, but a cluster of arrows!

"Not good!" Jing Ji exclaimed in surprise, and didn't pay attention to the puzzled eyes cast by the surrounding generals, and kept waving back and forth with one hand and shouting loudly: "The other party has a horse shooting!" Quick, shield, raise shield!! Shield! ”

The reason why Jing Ji was so surprised was because he didn't expect that there would be soldiers who were good at cavalry and archery in the Benlei Pioneer Regiment in the battle, and it seemed that there were still a lot of them!

At that time, not all soldiers could shoot arrows with their hands on horseback, and even fewer could draw their bows and shoot arrows while the horses were galloping. Although basically every general can do it, among ordinary soldiers, it is one in a hundred.

The use of crossbows is different, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a special Fubo crossbow created for cavalry. The Fubo crossbow is said to have been created by Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was already a priceless equipment in the army, expensive because it could be wound right away, with a range of more than 200 meters.

However, at this time, there were too few Fubo crossbows, and only a small number of elites could be equipped with them due to the high cost and cumbersome process. In contrast, it is better to train the soldiers to be cavalry archers who can draw bows and shoot arrows at a longer distance, and the distance of actual combat alone is more than double that of the Fubo crossbow.

During the one-year period that the Benlei Pioneer Regiment was on the front line in Dengzhou, they did not participate in many battles, and they trained archers and horses every day. Although they are already one out of ten or even one out of a hundred elites, after all, they have a natural advantage unlike the nomads in the north, so at this time, only the 3000 people in the front row can be truly "skilled in arching and horses", and there are more than 200 people, who can only pull a bow and shoot arrows on horseback, and they dare not compliment the accuracy.
