Chapter 1367: A Murderous Opponent
Yes, it is best described as a wall, because in the uniform movements of the cavalry of the Luoyan Army, more than 100 arrows fired from repeaters and more than 150 shotguns from Wang Ba boxes did indeed build a wall in the air. If time could slow down, you'd see that at the moment the arrows and shotguns were fired, a gray wall of shotguns, crossbow arrows, and smoke and dust was advancing along the street in the direction of the Liao cavalry. And the Liao cavalry hit this wall headlong.
Gray, densely packed with crossbow arrows and shotguns, a wall of actual shape that could be seen, touched, and heard.
It was also a wall that hit head-on without dead ends, and all the space in front of the entire Liao cavalry, including the tiny gaps between the war horses and the war horses, was filled with crossbow arrows and shotguns. More than 100 cavalry and war horses in the three rows in front of them seemed to have some strange disease, and suddenly their whole bodies began to bleed, and then the flesh and blood flew and fell to the ground. The tremendous inertia caused their bleeding bodies to roll forward twenty or thirty paces, falling in front of the opponent's formation like a puddle of mud.
Although I had thought of the horror of the lethality brought by the opponent's repeater crossbow and firearms beforehand, I definitely didn't expect such a scene. The opposing firepower created a clearing effect. It's like someone with a big broom and sweeping it, and the fallen leaves on the ground are swept aside, revealing a clean ground. The Liao cavalry was like a fallen leaf, and was swept away several rows with a broom.
Han De, who was watching the battle from the top of the low house in the rear, opened his mouth wide in shock, his tongue stiffened and trembled in his mouth, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
"Eternal Heaven bless! That's ...... Firearms? The Liao cavalry and generals in the rear were also stunned by the situation in front of them.
"Did the Southerners really possess such ferocious firearms? It's horrible. The hearts of the people were rolling with these words.
In front of the battle, the hellish scene continued to be staged, hundreds of Liao cavalry were bombarded and fell to the ground, and the front of the battle immediately became a Shura field. Although the follow-up Liao cavalry had the intention to avoid it, they could not avoid it at all. It would not be easy for the charging cavalry to stop the charge, unless there was a large space for them to avoid it, but how could they do so in such a narrow long street? Another option is to force the horse back, but in the midst of a rapid charge, this is undoubtedly suicidal. Not only may the horses not be able to make a quick stop, but the whole formation is in danger of trampling on each other. Unless it is after a long period of training, the whole cavalry is superb and can achieve the same heart-to-heart movements. But this is obviously impossible.
Therefore, what the Liao cavalry could do was to ignore the tragic situation in front of them and continue to rush forward. This is not an active choice, but a passive choice. Their best hope was to cross the distance of dozens of paces. As soon as the iron hooves of the cavalry step on top of the opponent's head, the opponent's formation will collapse.
However, this distance of less than fifty paces was a nightmare for the Liao cavalry. In just fifty paces, the cavalry's charge didn't even take a few breaths, and this distance was simply in the eyes of the cavalry on weekdays
It was not a distance, but today, it is an insurmountable gap between the heavens and the most difficult distance for the Liao cavalry to cross in their lives. The next short tea time also became the last time in the lives of the Liao cavalry.
The two thousand Liao cavalry rushed to the front of the Luoyan army, and then fell in rows. Within forty paces of the Falling Goose was their forbidden area, and they were lucky enough to rush ten paces away, but in the end they were beaten into sieves and hedgehogs, and rolled to the ground with bloody holes. More often than not, after more than ten steps into this death forbidden zone, they tumbled to the ground.
In the streets, blood has pooled into streams. The corpses of centaurs have piled up in a thick layer. In the face of this situation, the battle-hardened generals on both sides of the enemy and us were also pitiful and could not bear to see it. It was a total massacre, a one-sided massacre. The two thousand Liao cavalry seemed to have taken the initiative to step forward to die, and in a short period of time, they were all soulless pieces of meat on the streets. This scene can not be described as terrifying and cruel.
To the east of Long Street, Han Desui was stunned for a long time without saying a word. He finally understood the capital of Lin Jue's arrogance. They have their own firearms that they can't match, and they have their own tricks that they can't match. The plan they deliberately put forward for a head-to-head battle is actually to make themselves feel that they have an opportunity. And they already have enough firepower to stop their own cavalry. The death of the 1,000 cavalry before was not accidental, nor was the defeat of Zongchang's 5,000 soldiers and horses, nor was it a rumor that Yang Jun's 2,000 cavalry was shot by this Lin Jue's firearm in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Han Desui suddenly hated that he didn't pay attention to these things, he obviously learned the news of the ferocious firearms in the other party's hands, why did he ignore these messages and stupidly charge at them on the long street?
It is not impossible to deal with such firearms of the other side, in fact, as long as the terrain is open, none of this will happen. It seems that the narrowness of the street is not conducive to the deployment of the opponent's firearms and repeaters, but in fact, it has become a point for the opponent to take advantage of. Their own superior forces cannot be deployed. Han De couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, why couldn't he have thought of these beforehand? Do you think so much after witnessing the two thousand cavalry being sent away? I am still too light on the enemy, not because the other party is arrogant, but because I am arrogant.
The generals of the Liao cavalry looked at Han Desui with a frightened face, and those who knew Han Desui knew that he was a person who refused to admit defeat. At the moment, everyone's biggest fear was that Han Desui would be angry and ordered all the cavalry to charge. And under the firepower of the other party, this is obviously an act of sending to death. But the angry King Han may not pay attention to this.
"Give the order, stop the attack, and prepare the soldiers and horses to retreat." Han Desui did not lose his mind, he slowly gave the order.
All the generals and soldiers of the Liao army breathed a sigh of relief. This order is like picking up a life, and there is a sense of the rest of the life.
"Lord Han, the last general suggested blocking Xicheng Street, setting up barricades, guarding the street with archers, and trapping them in Xicheng. Go back and draw troops
Horses are besieged on all sides and cleared is the right way. "One of the generals made a suggestion.
Han Desui's mind had already gone blank with horror and anger, and the general's proposal was just right. Yes, trap them first, set up the level, and guard them with archers. Do they dare to take the initiative to attack? Then they would lose the advantage of firearms and repeaters.
"Good...... As you say. Han De nodded in a hoarse voice.
However, they suddenly heard a loud horn sound, coming from the opposing formation. Han Desui and the others looked over in astonishment, they saw that the soldiers of the other side were getting on their horses one after another, and a large group of cavalry in the rear was already in position, and they were ready to charge.
"Do you mean...... They want to ......" Before the guess in Han Desui's heart was spoken, reality gave him an answer.
"Brothers, kill all the Liao dogs and capture Han Desui alive. I'm Yang Wei, the wild goose army, just today. Ma Bin raised his long knife and roared, his voice making everyone's eardrums buzz.
"Kill!" The cavalry of the Luoyan Army rushed out on horseback, and the horse's hooves trampled on the corpses and flesh on the ground, launching a counter-charge against the cavalry led by Han Desui.
The invincible Liao cavalry had long been in awe of their opponents after witnessing the previous tragic situation. The mentality of the Liao cavalry, who claimed to be the number one in the world, plummeted at the moment, and they were as humble as ants. In fact, this is not difficult to understand, for example, a person who thinks he is invincible in the world, but is suddenly defeated by an opponent he despises. The mentality after that can be imagined. The frustration of failure can make him slump so much that he suddenly goes to the other extreme of inferiority, from conceit to inferiority. To some extent, low self-esteem and conceit are actually the same mentality, conceit is just a shell of inferiority, and people with low self-esteem often seem extremely conceited.
At this moment, the counterattack of the Luoyan Army can be said to be stepping on the turning point of the opponent's psychology. After more than 2,000 cavalry were annihilated, the entire Liao cavalry had fallen into a trough of morale and was on the verge of collapse. It is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers now have weak legs and stomachs. The only thing they want to do now is to avoid fighting these devilish guys. The suggestion of setting up a checkpoint may allow them to ease down and slowly recover from the psychological shock of the right talent.
Helplessly, the other party didn't give them a chance to recover at all, and seemed to have calculated their timid mentality, and brazenly launched a charge. The Liao cavalry had no choice but to face the battle, but the result can be imagined. The morale is already low, coupled with the martial arts skills of the Luoyan Army's personal guard cavalry, years of hard training are not in vain, and the tigers are as fierce as they descend the mountain. The three thousand Liao cavalry only fought for less than a stick of incense, and they had already begun to rout.
Han Desui also knew that the defeat was irreversible, so he simply ordered a retreat, which then evolved into a situation where a thousand Luoyan troops chased thousands of Liao cavalry and slashed and killed the Liao people on the streets of Xijin Mansion themselves. The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and the anti-guest is the mainstay, and the Luoyan Army's personal guard battalion completes the control of the inner city of Xijin Mansion with the strength of a mere 1,000 soldiers and horses. No matter who you are, you can't believe this fact.
