"Drink!"

On the battlefield, Huang Jingtian, the captain of the Guards Battalion, kept waving the elephant trunk knife in his hand, and led 2,000 soldiers of the Guards Battalion to attack the Qing army from the flank. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the heavy infantry in iron armor, how the poorly equipped slave army was an opponent, and they were killed and retreated.

"My lord, the enemy army rushed at the lord and killed them!"

Just as the Guards Battalion was advancing bravely, the adjutant general beside Huang Jingtian said to him anxiously.

Huang Jingtian stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look in the direction of Sima Yu behind him, and sure enough, he found that on the wasteland hundreds of meters away from Sima Yu and them, a group of thousands of Eight Banner Iron Horsemen was rolling up billowing dust and smoke, killing them mightily.

At this time, only 1,800 brocade guards were left by Sima Yu's side.

"Keep up with all of them, and support the lord with me!"

Huang Jingtian turned around and looked at the Qing army, which had gradually become exhausted under the attack of the Qilin army, and decisively ordered, and immediately led people in the direction of Sima Yu after speaking.

Although the Jinyi Guard is a personal guard by Sima Yu's side, he is newly recruited, and he has not yet participated in any frontal battle with the enemy, so he may not be able to resist the brave Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

Just when Huang Jingtian led his troops to help Sima Yu and them, the Jinyi guards here had been divided into four rows under the command of Gu Changfeng, with more than 400 people in each row, forming a goose-shaped array in front of Sima Yu.

Each of the four rows of brocade guards was separated by 3 feet from each other, the first row quickly half-crouched on the ground, and the second row of brocade guards stood behind, each holding a 5-foot-long crossbow in his hand, the crossbow was wound, and the sharp iron crossbow arrows were exuding cold killing intent.

The big yellow crossbow, also known as the yellow shoulder crossbow, is a famous cold weapon in China, and it is a crossbow made in the Han Dynasty. The strength of the crossbow in the Han Dynasty was calculated according to the stone, divided into one stone to ten stones, and it took about 27-30 kilograms to fill a stone crossbow, of which the strongest ten stone crossbow was also called the yellow shoulder crossbow and the rhubarb force crossbow.

These strong crossbows were all opened by Sima Yu from the ancient artifacts, and once the big yellow crossbow was specially opened by Sima Yu in order to deal with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

Although the Jinyi Guard had just been established, they were all the strongest people selected by Gu Changfeng from the entire Qilin County, and it was naturally not a problem for them to pull out the rhubarb crossbow with one stone.

"Not good! Divide your troops! ”

Nikan, who was leading his troops forward, looked at the Jinyi guards in front of him who were arrayed with crossbows, and his face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered.

After receiving the order, the Blue Banner Iron Cavalry, which was originally in a cone-shaped dense assault formation, quickly and immediately began to disperse towards the two wings.

However, due to the short distance between the two armies, and the speed of the cavalry assault, the cavalry that had gathered together had not had time to disperse, and had already jumped within 80 meters of Jinyiwei.

"Shoot!"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

With Gu Changfeng's cold cheers, the Jinyi Guard, who was half-squatting in the front row, and the Jinyi Guard, who was standing in the back, quickly pulled the trigger, and the 400 crossbow arrows shot densely towards the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry Formation with a sharp sound whistle.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

。。。。。。

The screams and the neighing of the war horses continued to sound, under the attack of dense crossbow arrows, the unarmored war horses and the soldiers in cotton armor under the crotch of the Eight Banners could not resist at all, and the war horses were hit by the crossbow arrows and fell in front of the formation, and a wave down, the charging Eight Banners Iron Cavalry lost more than 200 people.

"Shoot again!"

The Jinyi guards in the first two rows quickly retreated after firing, and the Jinyi guards in the last two rows were once again in place according to the tactics of the first two rows just now, the front row was half squatting, and the rear row was full of combat power, raising the big yellow crossbow in his hand to aim at the rushing Eight Banners Iron Horse, and 400 crossbow arrows were shot out again.

When the last two rows of brocade guards also finished firing, the first two rows of brocade guards that had just been pushed to the rear had already completed the loading of crossbow arrows again, followed by the second round of firing.

As the Jinyi guard retreated, he fired crossbow arrows, and after two rounds, the 1,000 Blue Banner cavalry under Nikan's command had lost two-thirds, and only more than 300 people remained, many of whom had died under the dense crossbow arrows.

In the face of crossbowmen who specialized in restraining cavalry, even the brave Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was powerless when they were not superior in numbers.

This has a precedent in the history of Chinese wars.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the warlord scuffle, Yuan Shao once defeated more than 10,000 horsemen under the command of Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop with the strong crossbow in the hands of the 800 Xiandeng dead soldiers under Ju Yi, including the white horse Yicong who had made a name for himself under his command.

"Kill!"

Nikan, who had been rolling on the ground and dodging the rain of arrows, rolled over and stood up, his face covered with flying dust and slightly embarrassed.

A nikan who rolled and stood up didn't have time to think, he glanced at the few Zhenglan Banner soldiers around him, and raised his knife to kill in the direction of Sima Yu first.

At this time, the victory or defeat had been left behind by Nikan, and the only thought in his heart was to win Sima Yu.

Behind Nikan, more than 300 remaining Zhenglan Banner soldiers also followed closely and killed Sima Yu and them with a fierce face.

These soldiers who were able to survive the crossbow arrow array were all the elite under Nikan's command, including nearly 100 of the famous Bayala guards in the Eight Banners Army.

Bayala, also known as the White Armor Soldier, is the most capable warrior selected by the Manchu Qing Dynasty from the Manchu and Mongolian banners.

These soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, who had lost their horses, formed an arrow force under the leadership of Nikan and quickly attacked the Jinyi Guard.

With such a close pick-up, the slower reloading of the rhubarb crossbow could no longer play a role, and all the brocade guards directly threw away the rhubarb crossbow and pulled out the big knife on their waists to meet it.

Under the attack of the elite Bayala soldiers, the Jinyi Guard front army, which had just killed the Quartet, was killed in an instant, and it was not the opponent of this brave Bayala soldier at all.

Nikan led his troops to break through the Jinyi Guard's military formation and approached in the direction where Sima Yu was.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, Shi Gu Changfeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, saw that his face changed greatly, and he immediately urged his horse to step forward and personally stepped forward to meet the soldiers who were killing.

"Lord, please retreat first!"

Wu Song and Wu Tu Gu, who were following Sima Yu in the rear, looked at the Zhenglan Banner Baya Soldier who was fiercely killing in the Jinyi Guard, and their faces also changed drastically, Wu Song hurriedly turned around and suggested to Sima Yu.

As soon as Pu came into contact, these Baya soldiers showed extraordinary strength, and all of them had the strength of the Body Refining Realm.

Under the impact of more than 100 Baya soldiers with the strength of the Body Refining Realm, even Wu Song, Wutu Gu and others from the God Refining Realm were difficult to resist.

Looking at the fierce Baya soldiers, Sima Yu was really taken aback, and finally understood why the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, was able to conquer the entire Ming Dynasty and create a miracle of a small nation conquering a big country.

However, retreating at this time will inevitably be covered by Baya's soldiers, which will only accelerate the rout of Jinyiwei even more. Once Sima Yu retreats, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction on the entire battlefield, resulting in the rout of the entire Qilin army, and all previous achievements will be lost.

Sima Yu, who has already tasted the sweetness of power, has already transformed after such a long time of training.

From a dispensable little man to a bold and promising overlord, how could he watch victory slip away from his eyes.

"If we step back at this time, all our previous efforts will be in vain! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Fight to the death! ”

Sima Yu raised the spear in his hand, looked resolute, and shouted loudly.

"Fight to the death!"

Seeing this, Wu Song, Wu Tugu and others behind him all surged up, followed by shouting, and the morale of Jinyiwei was suddenly shocked.

Then, Sima Yu took the lead and led the remaining 200 brocade guards to meet Nikan and the others.
