Chapter 129 goes the other way
A charge, people on their backs, at this time, in the grass next to them, more than 2,000 people suddenly appeared on both wings, holding longbows, shooting fiercely at the end of the cavalry, in the evening, Ahu Xiu's lower iron cavalry was shot, especially those who fell to the ground, there was no time to dodge, it became a sieve.
Shot the fallen cavalry, and the winged archers quickly disappeared into the grass, like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace.
The archers who appeared on both flanks quickly shot the fallen cavalry, but they did not have the slightest idea of charging to meet the enemy, and Amur's thoughts were a little confused under the silent night sky.
Cavalry battle, the impact of the war horse can never be ignored, after all, the cavalry is very fast, at this time, the distance between the two sides is less than a kilometer, once Ahu Xiu continues to charge, the front and the two wings of the cavalry, archers, there is no chance to prepare at all.
Amur didn't understand why the death row troops under Borshu's command gave up the advantages of cavalry and chose to set up an ambush for a sneak attack, and the identity of the cavalry had been exposed, so there was no chance of winning by doing so!
The more Amr thought about it, the more puzzled he became, sparing him for having experienced dozens of battles over the years, and he had never been exposed to such strange tactics, his heart was faintly uneasy, and a strange thought spread in his heart for no reason.
Li Rao, who was nesting in the grass, found that Amur was not pressed by all the troops, but chose to divide three thousand iron cavalry to attack tentatively, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, good you Amur, who is also a heavy minister of Donghu, but today you are so timid and afraid.
If you lead the cavalry to charge with all your strength and pass through the traps and pits laid on all sides, there will be serious casualties, but the combat effectiveness of the Donghu Wangting Iron Cavalry is not weak after all, and if the two sides fight, he Li Rao wants to win, and he will have to pay a lot of price.
But you were cautious, and chose to divide your troops and break in, and move forward slowly, wouldn't this bring all the iron cavalry under the eyelids of the archers on both wings? You don't want to die, but why are you looking for death?
At this time, the archers on both wings, with the barricades set up on the road, trapped in horse pits, and thistles, even if they can't eat all the iron horses under Amur's hands, they will make the other party suffer heavy losses.
When Ahu Xiu leads the troops forward for more than 100 meters, and Amur leads the troops to press the formation behind, those Donghu Wangting iron cavalry will become the prey of the dying struggle in the trap.
Zhang Yu's plan, in Li Rao's opinion, is not weird, and it almost violates people's normal thinking!
In battle, no matter who leads troops, encounters a provocation in front of him, and is robbed and killed by the archers on both wings, he will subconsciously act cautiously. However, Zhang Yu's approach is just the opposite, once the combat generals encounter the cavalry and archers he arranged, it is better to be cautious, the more cautious they are, the sooner they will fall into the trap, and the greater the casualties.
This kind of tactics that goes the opposite way is simply impossible to deal with according to normal thinking.
This trip, set up an ambush here, Li Rao was ready to annihilate the iron cavalry under the command of Amur, and now he came out without scruples, it was in order to better implement Zhang Yu's plan, so that Amr thought that he had seen through the deployment of the opponent's troops, and mistakenly thought that the opponent's two wings left more ambushes, so as to leave enough cavalry to guard against the attack of the two wings.
In this way, just fell into the trap of the other party, Li Rao just used the trap arranged in advance, first ambushed and killed the iron cavalry of the Donghu Wangting, once Amr found the plan, when the whole army pressed, but did not know that the army had fallen into the opponent's two wings of the encirclement, at this time, Li Rao will press the army with all his strength, with the posture of beating the water dogs, easily annihilating the other party.
Watching Amur step by step into the trap, Li Rao had a bright smile on his face, fortunately Amur was cautious and deceived. If you encounter a fierce man, you don't care about the ambush on both flanks, and the two armies are fighting, and when they come up, they will chase and fight fiercely, bombarding indiscriminately.
It is not difficult to imagine that there will be casualties when the iron cavalry rushes through the arrow array, but Li Rao, who will also fight, will be caught off guard, especially the opponent is the iron cavalry of Donghu Wangting. In terms of combat effectiveness, he is not as good as others at all, and he will lose at the beginning.
It's a pity that this gamble is not a bet on whose tactics are good, but on whose courage is bigger, and now it seems that Li Rao seems to be slightly better.
Seeing that after Ahu Xiu was attacked, with the remaining few thousand horsemen, lingering in front of the trap, hollow, and avenue sprinkled with thistles, Li Rao smiled secretly, waved the ring hand knife, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, this is the Donghu Royal Court, the famous iron-blooded cavalry, it's too vegetable, it's better to go home and herd sheep!" ”
"Hehe, general, after King Borshu ascends to the throne, these little cubs are the lambs to be slaughtered in our hands."
"Yes, in front of the death row troops, what Donghu Wangting iron horsemen, they are all scum, and the people who can abuse them are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts."
"Miscellaneous, you bunch of miscellaneous, rest your tongue so fast!" Ahu Xiu was twice frustrated by the other party's trap and died, killing nearly 2,000 people, and he was ridiculed by the opponent unscrupulously, his face turned blood red, his palm clenched the scimitar, and he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.
Li Rao and others had no scruples about scolding, sarcasm, and the language was extremely ugly, but they did not move at all, neither charging nor fleeing, Ahu was about to go crazy, but he was hindered by the holes and traps in front of him, and he did not dare to act rashly.
Looking back at Amur, Amur shouted violently: "Ahuxiu, are you a pig, let the other party scold, where is your dignity, kill, kill me, kill all these dogs." ”
Then he shouted to the generals beside him: "Sotu, go on, take your soldiers and horses, and chop these damned guys into mashed meat for me." ”
Amur has a very high military quality, otherwise King Donghu would not let him guard the three counties of Hunhe in the eastern part of the grassland alone, but now all Amur's military literacy has been thrown into the mountain col, but instead, the anger is burning more and more like a mountain fire.
He felt that he had been fighting for more than ten years, and tonight was the most nesty, the enemy was thousands of kilometers away from him, and some of the enemy soldiers in ambush were even closer, but he could not be annihilated, and it was difficult to move an inch.
If it weren't for the fear of the opponent's flanks ambushing a large number of ambushes, Amr would have taken the lead mercilessly and slashed this group of scum.
At this time, he was almost 100% sure in his heart that Prince Tara had been kidnapped by Borshu, and that bastard Borshu was ready to attack him mercilessly.
Even if he doesn't meet the handle of the Borshu knife tonight, once the king of Donghu knows that Prince Tara has been kidnapped, he will be overwhelmed by a large army. So, he didn't mind completely tearing his face with Borshu.
Ahuxiu and Suo Tu were worried, there must be demons when things go wrong, the night was pitch dark, and more than 1,000 people in front of them were arrogant and clamoring, not taking the more than 4,000 people brought by the two parties in their eyes at all. More than 2,000 archers had appeared on both flanks, and Ahuxiu and Sotu were both close associates of Amur, and both of them also had a sensitive sense of smell, and they were almost 100% sure that they were not the only ones who attacked their death row troops tonight.
The problem is that the officers and men of the three armies, including the two of them, have long been scolded by the thousands of people in front of them, and the anger of the scolding is like a barrel of dynamite, which is ignited at one point, knowing that there is danger, but they want to kill people even more!
Ahuxiu, Suo Tu did not dare to urge the war horses to gallop, and led the troops to move forward slowly, but there were still horses stepping on thistles or holes from time to time, but at a distance of 100 meters, hundreds of war horses broke their front hooves, and I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again.
At the same time, the thousand-man cavalry in front, when Ahuxiu was chasing, stepped on the war horse and prepared to slip away, and the cavalry on both wings suddenly appeared, shooting a thick rain of arrows, and silently blended into the grass, and the two wings were completely quiet.
"He's-damn it, he wants to escape!"
It's not a small casualty, but the opponent is ready to run away, Suotu Tiger eyes are round and angry, the scimitar in his hand is like sticking to his hand, clamped on the horse's belly, and chased it directly, tonight's battle is too hot, a wave of arrows from the archers on both wings, so that he also folded a lot of cavalry, how can he watch the other party slip away from his eyes.
A thousand steps, eight hundred steps, five hundred steps, three hundred and fifty steps, under the dark night sky, not even the slightest starlight can be seen, which is extremely rare in the grassland.
Li Rao hid in the grass, with the neighing of the war horse, estimating the distance between the two sides, suddenly, under the silent night sky, Li Rao burst into a shout, and in the sound of the horse's hooves, the grassland sounded a sharp and piercing neighing of the war horse, and the war horse seemed to be frightened in some way.
Then, a sharp sound, like the wailing of a bird before death, came from afar, and the sound was as uncomfortable as cutting a man's ear.
Then, one, two, three, the shrill sound was as dense as the buzzing of bees, and the disturbing sound made Amr in the distance look restrained, and suddenly jumped up and stepped on the horse's pedal, and shouted ahead: "Ahuxiu, Sotu, come back, come back." ”
If Amur was timid, in fact, he heard the sound in the air and remembered a terrible weapon of destruction, and it was dark at the moment, and he could not see the situation in the air, but he could probably guess in his heart that only the kind of weapon of mass killing that was fatal to the cavalry could make a dense rain of arrows in the air like locusts crossing the border.
Repeater, a repeater that shoots nine broken arrows in a row, in this life, Amr has only seen it once in the Song Kingdom, and at first sight, Amr knew the deadly threat of the repeater to the cavalry, and tried to steal back to Donghu, but unfortunately was discovered by the Song people and expelled him from the Song Kingdom to cross the border.
At this moment, hearing the terrifying voice again, Amur shuddered in his heart, he knew that the soldiers and horses led by Ahuxiu and Suotu were all over, and the two of them were currently less than three thousand iron horsemen, and they could not withstand a large group of crossbow shots.
He didn't know why the Song State's unique repeater appeared in the hands of Borshu, and he didn't understand why Borshu already had a repeater, but Donghu never knew about it.
Amur didn't know, and Ahu Xiu and Suo Tu who were charging didn't know either, but Ahu Xiu and the two of them were charging, and the terrifying momentum of the repeater was much more than Amur.
At this moment, in the dark night sky, a faint cold light flashed, like a ghost in the night sky, flowing out half of his head.
In the baptism of arrow rain in front of the horse pit before, Ahu Xiu picked up a life before the ghost gate, which, in the face of what frightened his heart, Ahu Xiu didn't know if he was so lucky.
