Chapter 341: Humgar

The sound of hooves rumbled, trampling the snow on the field.

Jiu Ye iron helmet, sentry armor, cavalry side card on the left arm, led dozens of people who are good at riding and shooting, and part of the Mongolian white flag cavalry, Manchuria inlaid yellow flag vest for fierce cavalry and archery battles, dozens of black cloaks fluttering and encouraging.

The Ninth Master stretched his Twelve Forces Kaiyuan Bow, and behind him, Xia Shiye, Luo Eleventh Master, Gao Twelfth Master, and Yan Bin, Zhang Dan, and Han Shangliang brothers were all like this. It is dozens of rough and fierce horses behind him, and he can't use a twelve-force bow, but he also uses an eight-to-ten-force strong bow.

Each person's bowstring is tied to the cold armor-piercing heavy arrows, and the arrows are cylindrical and blunt, black and dark, which is daunting.

At this time, it was customary for all armies to be able to ride a horse and not chop and chop horses, such as Yang Hejia and other armies were horsemen. Those who can ride horses and chop are called fine horsemen, and they are also real cavalrymen. Those who can ride horses, chop and shoot arrows on horses, that is a higher-level horseman.

There are three or four hundred people in the Yanghe cavalry sentry team, and there are only a few dozen people who can be called Xiaocai, and they all use Kaiyuan bows and professionally designed armor-piercing arrows.

Generally, the composite bow tire of the Central Plains is not long, and it can be used immediately under the horse, and the bow strength is strong, mainly depending on whether a series of composite materials are sophisticated. Therefore, the famous generals of the Central Plains can often open a hard bow on a horse, although the archery speed is slower, but the strength of the bow is not comparable to ordinary horse bows.

The armor-piercing arrows they used were also designed by Yang He.

Generalized armor-piercing arrows are prismatic arrows, three-edged or four-edged styles, with the lethality of winged arrows and the armor-piercing power of armor-piercing arrows.

However, the professional armor-piercing arrow is a streamlined cylinder with a short sharp part, and the arrow is not easy to deform during the armor-piercing process, and the cylinder structure also reduces the degree of friction in the armor-piercing process.

Their style, just look at the cement nails of later generations, and the design principle is the same.

There was a thunderous hoof sound on the opposite side, dozens of horsemen roared and rushed forward, all of them bent their bows and arrows, fierce and vicious, especially some Mongolian cavalry wearing white inlaid iron cotton armor in front, they were even more skilled in equestrian incredible, they stepped on the stirrups, their bodies twisted as if they were about to break, and the horse bows in their hands were also stretched to the maximum.

The two sides rushed at intervals of more than a dozen paces, roaring at each other and passing a rain of arrows.

At the sound of Dangdang, some arrows were shot at the hemispherical iron cover of the cards next to Jiu Ye and the others, and many of them were shot at them, inserted in their sentry armor.

However, the protection of the cavalry team's sentry armor is higher than that of ordinary soldier armor, and the ten-force bow used for foot shooting can only break the armor in more than ten steps.

At the same time, some of their horses were shot by arrows, jumped in pain, and threw some knights off their horses, and if they were not careful, they would be trampled into pulp by their own horses or those of their allies.

Cavalry warfare, life and death are only in an instant, very cruel.

The bowstring trembled like a storm, and the Ninth Master and the others also let go of the bowstring, dozens of armor-piercing arrows roared past, and there was a scream from the Mengqi on the opposite side, and there was a neighing of horses.

They wore iron-inlaid cotton armor, which was as thick as 40 catties, and their protective power was similar to that of Xin'an sergeants' armor, and it took 10 bows and 20 steps to break the armor.

Jiu Ye and others generally use ten-force bows, twelve-force bows, although the rate of fire is slow immediately, but the shooting is very ruthless, this interval of more than ten steps, and use professional armor-piercing arrows, the armor of the arrow is shot through, one by one screaming and falling off the horse.

Even some vests with yellow flags were unstable and were shot and fell off their horses.

They have double armor, and they can't even shoot through the armor-piercing arrows in a dozen steps, but the heavy arrows roar over, and they hit with great force, and if they don't pay attention, they will be knocked off the horse.

A Qing army with a yellow flag fell off his horse like that, just as a few war horses stepped on the back, and the sound of bone cracking, this vest screamed miserably.

Soon both sides rushed by, only to see each other's ponytails.

"Go back and keep killing!" The ninth master drank loudly, adjusted the war horse with his legs, and turned the horse's head.

"Keep killing!" The fierce riders were full of pride, especially Xia Shiye, Luo Shiye laughed, shouted happily, and found the feeling that the twelve horsemen in Tongzhou shot hundreds of Tartars that year.

"Kill the Tartars!" Zhang Dan also laughed, as a martial artist of Chongzhen for six years, his riding and archery level is naturally needless to say, they also have some ambitions to join the Yang River team.

But now that Qian Sanniang and others in the cavalry team have risen, and the cavalry is dominant, they are a little lost, and it seems that these older generations who use bows and arrows will eat and wait for death in the cavalry team. Fortunately, together with the Ninth Master, Xia Shiye and others, Zhang Dan and others also found their feelings.

In particular, the strong Tartars were shot by themselves, and they were not as terrible as the rumors, they were divine, which greatly improved everyone's self-confidence.

"Kill!" They turned their horses, roared, and urged their horses to rush toward the Tartars in front of them.

……

The field was vast, and a few miles from the right flank army formation were the banks of the Shu River, which were covered with snow.

At this time, on the white earth, the sound of killing shook the sky, accompanied by the neighing of horses and the sound of handcuffs.

More than 100 cavalry of the Xin'an Army surrounded dozens of Mongolian cavalry with white flags and yellow flag vests, and they wore cavalry side cards on their left arms, grasped the reins with one hand, and held handcuffs in their right hands, constantly bombarding the enemy in front.

The whistling of arrows, the black shadows of the arrows, javelins, and the blood mist stirred up were all filled with the smoke of gunpowder rising from the handcuffs, and the terrible screams were endless.

The two sides fought desperately, and it was obvious that the handcuff cavalry of the Xin'an Army had the upper hand.

The Mongolian cavalry uses horse bows, and the archery speed is very fast, but the armor-piercing ability is very weak, and more than a dozen steps, or even a few steps away, can not penetrate the sentry armor worn by the cavalry.

However, the handcuffs used by the Xin'an army are different, after the power of the new gunpowder is increased, twenty steps can break the iron-inlaid cotton armor, and a dozen steps can even break the double armor. One side can't break the armor no matter what, and one side will die if it hits, and the result is obvious.

Moreover, it is necessary to let go of both hands to shoot arrows immediately, but the handcuff cavalry can hold the reins with one hand and raise the gun with the other hand to aim, so that they can shoot more steadily and accurately.

There are also members of the sentry team, who are not as skilled in equestrianism as the cavalry, but they have practiced their skills hard, and they all have a good hand on their horses.

They fired around the Tartar cavalry, knocking them off their horses one by one with screams.

The Mongolian cavalry was very skilled in equestrianism, but it was useless if they could not break the defense, no matter how good their riding skills were, the limitations of riding and archery could not hit the opponent's face, throat and eyes. Some turned to shoot their horses, while the axes and javelins thrown from the yellow flag armor also caused damage.

Li Ru Wance galloped on the war horse, the sound of hooves behind him was like thunder, snow chips were flying, and a flying black cloak.

The horsemen circled around the Tartars, forming a circle that resembled a head-to-tail connection, and the snow splashed like fog in front of them, and the roaring Tartar cavalry rushed again.

Li Ruwan raised her handcuffs, she had finished one handcuff, and replaced it with another handcuff, there were many people in the cavalry team who were equipped with two-shot handguns, and when the ammunition was finished, they would withdraw from the battlefield and reload again.

"Whoosh......" A rain of arrows whistled over, with some axes and iron bones, one of which was aimed at her horse, and a black shadow, which suddenly swirled.

Li Ruwan blocked the sharp arrows that came from the side, helped her war horse, and also helped herself avoid a catastrophe, and her head deviated, and she quickly dodged a thrown flying axe, and with a "bang", she opened the gun.

The surging flames erupted from the mouth of the gun, a Tartar in white cotton armor tumbled and fell off his horse, blood mist fluttered in the air, and an empty horse without a master rushed past Li Ruwan not far away.

The sound of guns exploded, and the rising smoke dissipated behind the horses in a blink of an eye, and some of the Tartars on the opposite side were bleeding, screaming and falling under the horses, and some of the horses that had been shot also neighed and jumped wildly.

Li Ruwan also screamed a few times behind her, some horses were hit by arrows, and some people were hit by flying axes and iron bones, and they fell off their horses.

Cavalry combat is so cruel, in an instant, either you die or I live.

But on the battlefield, on the boiling battlefield, on the galloping war horse, he didn't think much about it, Li Ruwan pulled down the hammer with his thumb and changed the eyelet.

"Bang!" She fired again, and the raging fire and smoke erupted, and a Tartar horse wearing yellow cotton armor with red trim was shot in the head, and the horse screamed, and rolled to the ground with a heavy charge, and the Tartar on the horse's back was crushed under the snow mist.

The tartar was crushed by the heavy war horse, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.

……

More than 200 steps away from the battlefield, a group of cavalry stood solemnly, they were imposing, holding many Sensen spears in their hands, and equipped with thick-backed goose feather knives. They watched silently, gray iron armor and black cloaks standing in the sun, and there was a deep dark atmosphere.

In front of the team, Qian Sanniang stood on the horse and watched, the thick mace was inserted in the socket behind the saddle, and next to him were Liu Qilang, Pei Pochuan, Ling Zhanyun and others. There are also the former Liu Qilang Tianxiong Army, all of whom are in fine armor cloaks, holding spears, and their eyes are indifferent.

Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun belonged to the sentry team, and the captain once took someone out to sentry, but they didn't go, and they didn't participate in the handcuff cavalry battle in front.

They are used to riding and shooting, they are used to fighting at close range, and they are still not used to using handcuffs, but they believe that they will soon come in handy against the Tartars in front of them.

Qian Sanniang watched the battlefield, more than 200 horsemen behind him were silent, and most of the cavalry sentry teams were unruly heroes, and they couldn't put down their faces and scold, but Qian Sanniang could.

Her current identity is a lady again, and she is obedient to all the good men, and with the decentralization of the ninth master, in fact, the cavalry team is mostly dominated by Qian Sanniang.

Seeing that the Tartar cavalry in front of him had fallen into the wind, looking around, it seemed that the Tartars attacking the front and left flank of the army had also suffered a heavy setback. But behind their large array, there are quite a lot of yellow flag vests stationed, and there are even dozens of white-armored soldiers with heavy armor and a small flag like fire behind them.

On the right flank, there was only one Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing, and the Mongolian leader who seemed to be Jiala's Zhengbai Banner had not entered the battle, and there were only a dozen cavalry left around them.

Qian Sanniang's eyes swirled on them, thinking about whether to eat these people, but the horses rushed away, I was afraid that their horse armor soldiers and white armor soldiers would come to the rescue, and when they were entangled, it would not be beautiful.

I was thinking about it, when I heard the sound of a conch, rolling from the side of the Tartar army, I saw the Tartars attacking the left flank of the front frantically shouting, they rose up bravely, and continued to rush forward, especially the shield chariots on the second floor, which rushed desperately.

Qian Sanniang even saw that after the big array, those yellow flag vests went to the left flank, and only dozens of white armors still stayed.

Qian Sanniang immediately made a decision, and shouted: "Liu Zhiqing, Pei Pochuan, Ling Zhanyun!" ”

All three of them shouted: "The end will be!" ”

Qian Sanniang pointed to Ming Andali, Niu Lu Zhangjing and others over there, and said, "You lead a hundred elite horsemen to kill those Tartars, I want to see their heads." ”

Liu Qilang, Pei Pochuan, and Ling Zhanyun saluted with guns on their horses, and shouted, "The head of the Dingtinu chief is here to see!" ”

They carry horses, hooks, sickles, spears and go, behind them a hundred horsemen followed, galloping between the natural formation of sharp arrows, their spears such as a forest, murderous, with a mighty momentum, to the Mongolian white flag Jialazhang Jingming Andali and others.

Qian Sanniang didn't move, there were more than 100 riders on her side, 50 riders were standing on the white flag, and more than 100 people from her didn't move.

But if Liu Qilang and the others eliminated the leaders of those Tartar cavalry, the right wing troops pinned down by them could be freed up to flank their front, and the fifty white-armored soldiers would be insignificant.
