Chapter 196: The First Battle

Divided into two, the Uighur cavalry was well-trained, and each galloped to the right and left with the great warriors of both sides, leaving no one behind or in confusion.

The light cavalry also launched a charge, growing on horseback since childhood, and bumps have long been no problem.

The distance of hundreds of zhang was like a stone's throw away, and three frenzy tides were surging from three directions, rushing towards the Black Armor Army, like three sharp long knives piercing watermelons.

There were a thousand people on the left and right, and two thousand in the middle, and the sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, and Jiu Cheng violently struck the horse's belly with his legs, grabbed the longbow with one hand, and set up three red feathered arrows, pointing them at the sky.

Three sharp arrows shot out, drawing three graceful arcs in the air, and fell straight above the black sword and shield soldiers, bringing a rain of arrows in the sky.

"Horizontal shield! Uplifted! Close! ”

Fang Shan's fierce shout sounded in the middle of the sword and shield soldiers, all the sword and shield soldiers crossed the shield, neatly above their heads, the sound of the metal colliding was like raindrops, and occasionally the blade of the arrow grazed the instep of the sword and shield soldier, bringing out a riotous spark.

Seeing this, Jiu Cheng, who was in front of the light cavalry, exhaled a hideous smile on his mud-colored face, raised his bow again, and mounted three red feather arrows, this time it was a flat shot, and the vertical shot from above was just to pave the way for the flat shot below.

There was no order, and all the sergeants only looked at the sharp arrows released by the commander, followed by the red arrows, and fired a burst of close and flat fire at the black armor.

In the interval, Liliuqi also saw this opportunity, and ordered all the crossbowmen to prepare, and when the Uighur iron cavalry approached, he suddenly ordered the arrows to be released.

The opponent aimed at this gap, Li Liuqi also aimed at this gap, the shield was raised, which meant that the line of sight was better, and all the strong crossbow arrow slots that were ready to fire flew out of the short feather arrows and shot flat.

The red-feathered arrows grinded the air, colliding with a short-feathered arrow, and both fell on the grass, smashing a lonely wildflower, and the two waves of arrows staggered, and the first row of sword and shield soldiers of the Black Armor Army were all shot by sharp arrows.

The arrows in the chest were not pierced, so they avoided the baptism of death, but some of them were shot in the neck but could no longer stand, the shields they were holding fell, and the people lost their center of gravity, such unlucky ghosts occupied half of the entire front row.

Despite this, the sword and shield soldiers defended against the first wave of arrows above, and Fang Shanshen immediately noticed the sergeant in front of him who fell with arrows, and immediately ordered someone to fill the gap and erect the shield in front of him.

At this time, Fang Shanshen and Li Liuqi met their eyes, nodded to each other, and the crossbowmen immediately withdrew from the sword and shield soldiers' positions and moved towards the rear, and the sword and shield soldiers began to carry their shields, pull out their sharp steel swords, and form a column of shield soldiers, a column of sword soldiers, all well-trained, without the slightest drag.

The Uighur light cavalry was hit by short-feathered arrows from their crossbows, and the front row fell to the ground with arrows, and even the horses were killed by a rain of arrows, and they lay on their backs on the grass in agony.

There are few arrows in the back row, but this round of shooting, Jiu Cheng is not satisfied, originally thought that the other party would lose two rows of sword and shield soldiers under the rain of two thousand arrows, but only half of them fell to the ground and lost their combat power, those jet-black armor is stronger than imagined, at least this round of salvo found the characteristics of the other party.

The Uighur light cavalry continued to charge, and they gathered their bows, drew their scimitars at their waists, and approached the beginning of the battle.

Jiu settled down to believe that the crossbowmen were hidden among the sword and shield soldiers, and as long as they broke through the shield formation, it was time to kill.

Wu Yueya looked at the situation in front of him coldly, the salvo of the two sides did not cause many casualties, it was just a simple competition, and those Uighur light horsemen also planned to test the strength of the sword and shield with their bodies, but this approach was wrong, and even a little stupid.

All the crossbowmen ran and retreated to thirty zhang behind the sword and shield soldiers, and quickly assembled, they did not ride horses, originally these crossbowmen were each equipped with a war horse, and now the horses are not under the crotch.

Next to Wu Yueya's vertical shield holding the red flag, a thousand crossbowmen arranged a wide formation at certain intervals, and immediately ran to the front of the big white tiger to salute, and immediately ran to the camp to start commanding.

Wu Yueya saw all the situation in her eyes, the joint command of Li Liuqi and Fang Shanshen was not disconnected, everything was made according to their judgment of the situation on the spot, but it made her free for a while, and she did not leave her any opportunity to supplement the command at all.

At the moment of the engagement, the Uighur cavalry on the left and right approached on both sides, as if intending to cut off the middle.

Wu Yueyan, who realized this, raised the red flag, hovered left and right, and issued an order towards the camp fifty zhang away from behind.

On the left, Shi Tuomu, who was leading the charge of the Uighur heavy cavalry, suddenly felt a palpitation, and the closer he got to the weak point in the middle of the opponent's formation, the more heavy this uneasiness became, and Shi Tuomu immediately reined in the horse's head, but the Uighur warriors behind him rushed with hot killing eyes.

A horse accidentally grazed the war horse under Shi Tuomu's crotch, causing several horses to whistle, and the rest of the horses knew to go around ahead.

Nurchi took the lead, leading more than 2,000 warriors to approach Wu Yue Aya and a thousand crossbowmen who were in command in the middle of the Black Armor Army's camp.

Less than a hundred feet away from each other, two firelights streaked across the sky and landed in front of the iron horsemen rushing to the left and right of Wu Yueya.

The mud and grass clippings were flying, and the horses in front were frightened, and suddenly hung their kicks, and galloped to the side, but they were hit head-on by the horses galloping behind, and the horses and men flew up and fell to the grass, and were drowned by the iron hooves behind.

Shi Tuomu didn't know what had just happened, but he immediately ordered to turn the charging team around, and in a detour to exit the position where the explosion had just occurred, and could not move forward.

But Nurchi entered a state of madness, and only wanted to charge forward, and the desire to fight for merit was eagerly floating on his face, and he completely stepped into the range of the explosion.

Immediately afterward, several roaring movements resounded in the artillery camp position, like thunder, and the round orb with flames fell from the top of Nurchi's head, smashed on the afterimage that disappeared, and struck the Uighur cavalry who followed the great warrior as they charged.

The man and the fireball were smashed to the ground, and they rolled out of the flames several meters away, falling into a chaotic hoof.

The fireball rolled, stood still in the mud and grass with resistance, did not explode, and was kicked away by the hooves of the horses that came from behind.

Dozens of Uighur horsemen were then attacked by fireballs, which fell to the ground.

But no sooner had the other fireballs exploded, and the flames lifted the horses, and a burst of people flipped on their backs, and the roar also startled Nurchi's spirit, and when he looked back, there were flames and scorched pits all over the place, and horses and warriors with uneven hands and feet were lying in them whimpering and collapsing, all of which happened so abruptly that there was no way to make any response.

Several flaming pits dominated the meadow, and a swaying yellow wildflower stood strongly, but it was soon trampled by the horse's hooves, the broken petals flying in the air, and the charge continued.
