Section 908 Revolution (1)
Carrying the bronze collar in his hand, he took his personal guards and stood in the front row of the dome.
As an experienced aristocrat, he pricked up his ears and listened to the hooves of horses in the distance.
"It's strange......" he frowned, surveying the fog in the distance, "the enemy seems to be around our camp, outflanking our wings!" ”
It's really weird.
Because, in contemporary cavalry warfare, speed is important.
Even, to a large extent, speed and impact, are the killer features of cavalry.
Especially for the attacker, this is crucial.
Therefore, in all cavalry battles, you need to find a high slope, and then use the acceleration of the downhill slope to impact the enemy array.
However......
The enemy on the opposite side now seems to have voluntarily given up this advantage and has chosen to outflank him.
"Could it be that their commander has a broken brain?" Extravagance is incomprehensible.
Out of an abundance of caution, he gave the order: "Everyone watch out for the flanks and the rear!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a strange voice.
Click!
Click!
It was like the sound of horses' hooves, but he had never heard such a crisp sound of horses' hooves.
It's like......
The enemy is on the horse's hooves, loaded with gold and iron?
Then......
Sail!
The sound of the bowstring vibrating sounded from afar.
"Arrow Strike!" At the moment of life and death, Hao Li screamed, and he immediately grabbed a small round shield and held it above his head.
But......
Not everyone reacted as quickly as he did.
The dense rain of arrows, like raindrops, quickly plunged into the huehu's dome.
Bang!
A powerful bow and arrow, with great kinetic energy, fell from the sky.
And the Hujiens made a huge mistake at this time - their battle positions were too dense.
Originally, it was a good choice.
Because, in the face of cavalry charge, the defenders must form a dense array and snipe.
The Hujie, on the other hand, were more accustomed to pulling them off their horses and beating them on the ground when the enemy cavalry came at them.
It's their tradition.
But now......
The rules of the game have changed.
As a result, they immediately suffered a huge loss.
At least more than 50 people fell to the ground in this round of arrow rain.
Although most people are hit by arrows, only the arms and abdomen are not very fatal.
But......
There were also unlucky eggs, who were hit directly in the head by powerful arrows, and the sharp arrows pierced the skull, and blood immediately flowed out.
Haoli even saw with his own eyes that one of his own soldiers was directly pierced by a powerful arrow.
What's worse is ......
Click!
Click!
Outside the dome, the crisp sound of horses' hooves was still ringing intensively.
Outside his own vault, there were at least a hundred horsemen, regrouping.
And then......
Sail!
The sound of the bowstring sounded again.
The rain of arrows arrived as scheduled.
This time, the enemy's rain of arrows was even more deadly.
"Extinguish the torch!" Holding the small round shield in his hand, he ordered loudly, and at the same time pressed the torch in his hand directly to the ground to extinguish it.
He reacted immediately.
The enemy, his enemy, can shoot a bow on a horse!
And it's a bow in motion!
He no longer had time to think about why his enemies could shoot bows on the back of a horse moving at high speed.
Isn't this a skill that only the most powerful knights can master?
In the entire Xiongnu, there are only about 200 people with such technology.
Each of them is the condor archer of the major clans, and has a status second only to the clan clan, and is the strongest of the clan.
And now, in this thick fog, there are hundreds of eagle shooters?
Did the Han Dynasty send their most elite marksmen?
What's more, even the Huns' condor shooters may not be able to shoot their bows so quickly on horses.
Extravagant felt like he was going crazy.
But he didn't have time to think about it anymore.
He shouted, "If you don't want to die, follow me!" ”
Now, it is necessary to take the initiative.
Otherwise, to stay here is to wait for death!
I have to say that the madness of the Hujie people has produced a huge cohesion at this time.
With the order of extravagant departure, more than 200 elite Hujie cavalry immediately grabbed the war horse, then turned over and picked up their weapons.
However, at this moment, the rain of arrows struck again.
A dozen cavalrymen, who had just mounted their horses, were immediately hit and fell off their horses screaming.
Others took advantage of this opportunity and immediately moved closer to luxury!
"Attack! Sortie! Sortie! "Extravagant and hasty ordered.
Now his only way to survive is to find a way to get close to those strange cavalry and fight them hand-to-hand.
He has this confidence!
When it comes to close combat, the Hujie cavalry is not afraid of anyone.
Even the most elite halberd heavy infantry phalanx of the Han Dynasty, the Hujie people have bravely attacked.
The Meteor Hammer and Bronze Collars in their hands are their most trusted companions!
………………………………
Riding away, Zhang Yue examined the results of the past quarter of an hour.
Not bad.
Three consecutive rounds of arrows have severely damaged or eliminated at least a hundred enemies.
Of course, this is based on the fact that the tactic of mounted archery, which was applied for the first time, and the enemy simply did not know how to defend and respond.
Any new tactic, once it comes along, always has an unexpected effect.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to kill or injure a hundred people in three rounds of arrow attacks.
Zhang Yue even felt that the situation might be better.
But......
"The reaction is really fast!" Listening to the sound in the dome a hundred steps away, Zhang Yue knew that the enemy was jumping over the wall in a hurry.
"Want to countercharge?" Zhang Yue smiled, and he ordered left and right: "Retreat!" ”
Then he was the first to turn the horse's head and walk backwards.
At this time, the fish scale armor given by Jin Riyan played an important role.
In the thick fog, when the Han cavalry saw Zhang Yue retreating, they immediately followed, and then quickly gathered around him.
"Servant Zhonggong!" Guo Rong excitedly took the horn bow and rode his horse to Zhang Yue's side: "This kind of riding and archery tactics is really cool!" ”
"What is this?" Zhang Yue chuckled, looked back at the Hujie Dome in the distance, listened to the sound of horses' hooves in the dome, and said to Guo Rong: "Let's play a game......
"The name of this game is ......" Zhang Yue grinned lightly: "Shoot back!" ”
In later generations, the Mongol Empire, which was in full swing, had no more powerful and well-known tactic than Mangu.
In fact, it is a return shot.
And two thousand years later, this tactic has been carried forward in esports under the name of kite.
There are even subtle people who invented the wonderful operation of King Qin walking around the pillar.
Walking around the woods once became an operation that countless people competed to learn and imitate.
Of course, as a traverser, Zhang Yue actually knew that even the Mongolian cavalry, the so-called Mangu, was just a concoction in their battle.
The Mongol cavalry, against all his enemies, never regarded the return shot as a decisive battle, a trick to break the enemy.
Rather, it is a concoction similar to salt and soy sauce.
The splendor of the Mongol cavalry, in fact, was based on its excellent organization, superb tactical arrangement, and sophisticated equipment.
Just like the one who broke the city of Xiangyang, it was never the cavalry of the Mongol cavalry, but the return artillery.
It was not the longbows of the Mongol cavalry that destroyed Khorezm, but their various trebuchets and siege machines.
Of course, excellent archery and good training were also the keys to their victory.
However, this does not prevent Zhang Yue from studying.
………………………………
With his cavalry, he rushed out of the vault quickly.
Then, all he saw was a thick fog.
and, the sound of horses' hooves in the thick fog.
Click!
Click!
It's like a talisman.
"These cowards!" Extravagant yelled angrily.
However, the response was the sound of a bowstring rattling.
Bang bang bang!
After the rain of arrows, at least 20 people fell from their horses.
This is not because the Han cavalry is skilled in archery, but because these callers used their usual tactics.
They were so close to each other!
If it were daytime, such a formation would definitely become the target of the Han cavalry.
The number of people lost will not be only so small.
"Rush up and catch them!" Extravagant yelled.
Anger and war spirit filled his brain, making him lose his cool.
Now he just wants to catch up with those damned cavalrymen and smash their heads with the bronze meteor hammer in his hand!
Therefore, all the Hujie cavalry quickly clamped the belly of the horse, desperately speeding up and urging the horse to speed up.
However......
Their enemies, however, do not make contact with them at all, but keep retreating and distancing themselves.
Then, suddenly, he turned around and fired a short salvo.
Half an hour later, extravagant was already out of breath.
The war horse under his crotch was also exhausted.
It was only at this point that he finally calmed down.
Looking back, the cavalry he brought with him was already pitiful.
At most, there were no more than sixty or seventy horsemen, and besides, the men and horses were exhausted.
His enemies, on the other hand, never even touched their sleeves.
What's worse is ......
In the dome behind, a flame was already lit.
There were also shouts of killing.
Obviously, the cavalry that outflanked the two wings at the beginning, taking advantage of his attack, was wantonly ravaging the Hujie cavalry left behind.
Hao Li bit his lip and took a deep breath.
He understood that he had fallen into a terrible trap.
Now, he and his men are gone.
And at this moment, Hao Li saw the dense fog in the distance, and suddenly dispersed.
Hundreds of horses appeared before his eyes.
Among the cavalrymen, a Han man who looked extremely young in conspicuous gold armor was filling his bow with his hand.
"Warriors!" Extravagant raised the meteor hammer in his hand: "The great black god and the white god are watching us!" ”
So saying, he was about to ride out.
Unfortunately, he overestimated the courage of his men.
In the next second, those who usually seemed crazy and brave suddenly turned over and dismounted, and all knelt on the ground in the face of death.
Only then did he think about it.
Hujie has not always been brave, nor is he not afraid of death.
Their ancestors were once conquered by the old Shangdan Yu of the Huns.
In front of its horses' hooves, grovel.
He sighed and was about to put down his weapon.
On the other side, however, the cavalry didn't seem to see this.
They drew their bows and took aim.
It's just a distance of thirty paces, and it's still shooting at a fixed target, which is easy for the shooter, even in the dark.
Sail! Sail! Sail!
The rain of arrows came in an instant.
Hao Li was shot directly from his horse by several sharp arrows.
"Why?" He struggled, crawling on the ground.
"I've laid down my arms!" He muttered loudly, only to find that all he could do was a muffled babbling sound.
The cavalry in front of him had already slowly rode their horses to his side.
A rider spotted him.
"A caller who is not dead yet!" He jumped off the horse excitedly, pulled out the long sword from his waist, stepped forward, stepped on the body of luxury, and then, without hesitation, waved the sword and cut off the head of luxury.
At the end of his life, he seemed to hear the man's excited voice: "It's still a nobleman!" Now it's developed! ”
It was only at this time that Hao Li suddenly remembered.
He......
Nor has he ever been soft on those who surrender their weapons.
Just yesterday, he personally hacked to death two Wuheng people who kowtowed in front of him and begged for mercy in the vault, and the heads of those two poor people are still pickled by him in his vault.
Zhang Yue rode his horse away, and let people light torches to light up the battlefield in front of them.
"Cut all the heads, cut them all, check them all!" He simply gave the order, and then looked at another battlefield in the distance.
"A thousand cavalry surrounded and defeated only two or three hundred remnants, shouldn't there be a problem?" Zhang Yue thought to himself.
Then, he led the people to the battlefield where he was fighting more than ten miles away.
When he got closer, Zhang Yue put his mind at ease.
Facts have proved that the Wuheng people beat the water dogs, which is still very qualified.
