Chapter 121: Bloody Battle

The second onslaught of the Sui army crushed the honor guard of the Emperor of Zhou, who was already riddled with holes, and they rushed like a yellow tide across the broken river embankment, and the Imperial Wheel was the first to bear the brunt. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

People of all colors gathered around the imperial chariot, and at their feet were fallen companions, armed with a variety of weapons, ready to meet a new charge of the Sui cavalry.

Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County shouted loudly to the effect, and many soldiers of the Six Gods and Masters gathered around the Imperial Rim, and those who resisted with carriages also approached this side, but Yuwen Wen's move also attracted the attention of the Sui army.

The previous round of impact took away more than dozens of lives, some were killed by the war horses, and some were picked up by the horse lances, and they did not have many long weapons, so they could not cause much effective damage to the cavalry that rushed in.

As ordinary entourage, it is impossible for them to wear armor, and even if there are fallen soldiers on the ground, they do not have time to peel off their armor and put it back on, and no one will take off their armor and give it to others.

More and more people gathered around the Imperial Palace, but the adjusted Sui army changed its strategy, dividing a small part to chase and kill the scattered and fleeing people, and a part of the people who harassed the Imperial Courtyard with cavalry.

There was also a part of the people who tried to get close to the Imperial Rim to disperse, and the advantage of cavalry over infantry became more and more obvious at this time.

The people who were running around in the wilderness were chased by the three or four cavalry, and they were killed without the power to fight back, even if some people plucked up the courage to turn around and fight back, they were stabbed to death by the Sui cavalry.

It is not too easy for the cavalry to chase these almost unarmed people, even if you don't use a horse lance, you can boldly ride your horse to get closer, wave your saber and aim at the back of the head with the speed of the horse, and a fresh life will disappear in front of you.

No matter how many legs can run, they can't run on four legs, and dozens of Sui cavalry killed the fleeing people all over the field, seeing that there was no hope of escaping, some people turned around and ran back to the team, wanting to huddle together to keep warm.

However, their hopes were ruthlessly crushed, just as a stray lamb was snatched away by wolves, and not many people could run back to the ranks, either shot to death by the Sui cavalry, or trampled to death by their horses.

A horse is no less than one hundred and fifty catties, plus a cavalry with a whole body of hundreds of catties, even the infantry in armor can't carry it when it rushes, let alone these ordinary people in cloth clothes.

Screams and cries rang out from time to time, and the cavalry of the Sui army trampled on those who were outliers, and they wanted to capture the little emperor of the Zhou State, so those who were obviously adults were not captured alive.

There is only one goal, that is, the Imperial Rim, without further ado, once the surrounding Zhou troops react, their attack will be in vain, so a fierce attack is launched.

Some of the Sui cavalry rode around the imperial chariot to release arrows, and some of the horses hit the edge of the crowd, gnawing off some of the periphery with each impact, while some of the Sui army dismounted, they abandoned the riding bow with a short range, took out the spare foot bow, and shot at the Zhou people with heavy protection.

There are many kinds of cavalry tactics, and cavalry is only one of them, but the cavalry bow is limited to the use of horses, and its size is smaller, so the range is not as good as the infantry bow, so the cavalry dismounts and uses the infantry bow to shoot arrows to harass the enemy formation.

Most of the Zhou people were not armoured, and the Sui soldiers in armor could have the upper hand in the counter-shooting, and they had several circles of armor under their helmets, protecting their faces and necks tightly with only two eyes exposed, and unless they were shot in both eyes, they were not afraid of arrows at all.

Some Sui soldiers were hit by a few arrows but there was no big problem, but they shot down the Zhou archers, and with a variety of means, the Sui army gradually gained the upper hand, but what gave them a little headache was the archery masters of those Zhou people.

Without him, these archery masters specialize in shooting horses.

Tian Yilong is one of them, he traveled with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, not a forbidden army or a guard, not to mention that the armor did not even have a bow and arrow, after the Sui army attacked, a forbidden army died, Tian Yilong picked up a bow and an arrow and a pot.

His archery skills are not superb, but he has a good foundation from hunting all year round, and he has seen a 'big scene' in the army before, so he is not afraid of the battle, and after shooting two arrows, he became familiar with the performance of the bow, and then began to counterattack.

The Sui soldiers were dressed in armor and only showed their eyes, palms and feet wearing boots, and if they wanted to kill with an arrow, they could only shoot their eyes, but where was the opponent so good at galloping on horseback, as the so-called shooting people first shot horses, Tian Yilong chose to shoot horses like other archers.

Because of the surprise attack, the enemy's horses were not equipped with horse armor in order to ensure speed, so shooting horses became the most effective means of counterattack, and because of this, archers became the target of suppression.

Tian Yilong's entourage has been covering him, but there is no shield in his hand, relying on wooden planks of different sizes, and now he is almost killed and wounded, these are all his clansmen, every one of them is related to him in the end, he can't care about grief, and struggles to pull his bow and release arrows.

The situation is critical, Tian Yilong has also entered a state of excitement, he has never shot an arrow under such pressure, every arrow is a rare opportunity, and even a person will die for him to block the arrow, so every arrow must be shot, and he has every arrow hit.

There are feathered arrows for shooting horses in the quiver, the arrows are as wide as a small shovel, and an arrow hits the horse's head or horse's neck immediately takes effect, and the arrow falls to the ground when the horse gallops, and the cavalry on his back is smashed to the ground.

Fifteen feather arrows, shooting thirteen war horses, and after continuous archery, Tian Yilong's strength also dropped rapidly, his arms were numb and sore, and even his left hand holding the bow began to tremble slightly.

But he couldn't stop, the Sui soldiers kept attacking, and they could only rely on archery to counterattack without spears.

The sound of horses' hooves started, and the cavalry attacked again, some raised their horses, and some bent their bows and arrows, Tian Yilong shouted and drew his bow and aimed ahead.

There were several horses in his sight, and his target was the one holding the horse lance first, but just as he was aiming at the head of the opponent's war horse, Tian Yilong caught a glimpse of a horse next to him bending his bow and arrows, aiming at himself.

The entourage who helped block the arrows had all fallen to the ground with arrows, and they were not wearing armor, so if they didn't dodge, then the arrows would be dead, so Tian Yilong decided to die, but before he died, he had to pull an extra cushion.

"Come on!!"

He let out a loud shout, thinking of the people who had died in battle, and only felt that the blood was surging and there was no other thought, so he aimed at the horse's head and immediately released the arrow, and the bowstring sounded, and the two feathered arrows staggered in opposite directions, and at the same time each stirred up a blood flower.

Tian Yilong fell with an arrow, the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground, and a large piece of the head of the enemy's war horse was cut off, and before he could scream, his front hooves fell to the ground weakly, and the cavalry on his back was thrown up and pounced forward, holding his head in the air and rolling his body to the ground.

Cavalry combat inevitably throws off the horse's front hooves and is thrown off the back, and how to save his life in this situation is experience, this Sui soldier seems to have a lot of experience, rolled on the ground a few times to remove the momentum, to avoid breaking the cervical vertebrae or breaking hands and feet.

As soon as he stood up, a long halberd plunged into his eye socket and the tip of the halberd peeked out of the back of his head, and he howled and grasped the halberd with both hands, and before he could exert himself, he vomited blood and died.

Zhou Faming pulled out the halberd used as a guard of honor, this is the 'long weapon' that he can easily get his hands on, and when he saw the Sui cavalry rushing not far away, he beckoned to his entourage: "Kill them!" ”

Yuwenwen organized everyone to surround the imperial palace defense, but the defense alone could not be prevented, and suddenly many people had no weapons in their hands, let alone armor, and if this continued, sooner or later they would be killed by the Sui army by arrows on the periphery, so it was necessary to take the initiative to attack appropriately.

Zhou Faming volunteered to participate in the attack, and his entourage was the Zhou family's hundred battles, and the combat effectiveness was not bad, there was no spear but a saber, which was enough, because it was not necessary to deal with the cavalry.

Several cavalry Sui soldiers roared over, and when they saw that the few Zhou people who were attacking in front of them didn't pay attention to it at all, they instigated their war horses to rush to the front in a moment, and poked with their horse lances, but they were dodged by the other party.

Sideways flash, then vigorously swing the knife and slash, a huge force from the blade to the handle, Zhou Faming almost couldn't hold the knife in his hand, but the momentum then dissipated, replaced by the passing Sui soldiers turned on their backs.

A few of the Sui soldiers who landed on the ground did not move on the spot, and the remaining few just struggled to get up, and they were stabbed in the eyes by Zhou Faming and others who were waiting for them.

To deal with cavalry, cutting off the horse's leg is one of the ways.

But that had to be exchanged for one's life, first of all, you had to dodge the attacks of the cavalry, far from the bow and arrow, then the lance or spear, and finally the long knife, and you had to dodge the impact of the horses, which depended on eyesight, courage and agility.

Zhou Faming is not short of these, and his troops are not lacking, so he dares to attack rashly and face the attacking enemy cavalry alone, of course, the premise is that the number of opponents is not large, and it is best not to have archers.

"Quick, pull the horse lance bow and arrow back!" Zhou Faming shouted loudly, pulled a horse lance from the ground and ran back, everyone lacked long soldiers, just to use it for emergency, of course the armor is the best, but it is too laborious to peel it off, and there is no time to drag the corpse back.

The sound of horses' hooves started, and a new wave of more than ten Sui cavalry rushed in, they pulled their bows and shot arrows, easily shooting the people in front of them, facing the unarmored target, basically no different from hunting.

Zhou Faming wanted to support a subordinate who was hit by an arrow to retreat, but the other party shook off his hand: "San Langjun go quickly, leave me alone!" ”

Many of the crowd gathered at the palace rushed out, they were holding a variety of weapons to meet Zhou Faming and the others, but the Sui cavalry came faster, abandoned their bows and arrows, and rushed towards their prey.

Kankan avoided the spear edge, Zhou Faming swept the horse lance in his hand with a loud shout, and directly swept the opponent's horse's legs, and with a bang, his horse stumbled and then fell to the ground, and he only felt that his hands were almost cracked with a shock.

Waving a half-cut lance and turning around, Zhou Faming aimed at the Sui soldiers who got up and struggled to pull it down, and after a muffled sound, the opponent's head was hit by a shot and then fell to the ground, and before he could escape, the sound of horses' hooves behind him started.

didn't think so much, threw the half of the lance with his backhand, and the attacking cavalry was crooked, Zhou Faming moved sideways, grabbed the opponent's empty horse lance with his right arm, and struggled to snatch it over.

Enduring the severe pain in his right arm, Zhou Faming was about to use his left hand to grab the horse lance, at this moment there was wind behind his ears, Zhou Faming looked back and saw that another horse rushed to the front, raising an iron shovel in his hand and slashing it down at him.

Menacing and impossible to dodge.

Peng's blood splashed between the men and horses, and the cavalry of the Sui army swept over the attacking Zhou people like sickles, and then they were shot down by the archers gathered at the imperial chariot, and there was no figure of Zhou Faming between the people on their backs.
