Chapter 145: Cavalry

This is a bit fatal, the rejection of the horse is heavy, one or two people can't move at all, everyone on it together, the dense iron nails can't accommodate how many hands to put on it, more than 200 people around the rejection of the horse like a dog biting a hedgehog have no way to eat, but someone has an idea, the spear and iron gun in his hand as a crowbar, inserted under the rejection of the horse to pry hard, can also be moved, so everyone is overjoyed, is about to pry together, but suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky suddenly, hurriedly looked up.

A rain of arrows came to your face.

Two hundred soldiers stood on the side of the wooden shield, which was separated by a vacant space, and fired a mountain crossbow with a crossbow in their hands, and fired it at a distance of thirty paces, and the locust-like arrows were dense on the front, less than three zhang wide, like a wall of arrows, and pushed it flat.

The porters were unprepared, like waves of wheat blown by the wind, and fell down in large numbers, each corpse with nearly ten arrows stuck in it, and lay on the ground like hedgehogs.

It is a pity that the crossbow arrows are not penetrating enough to penetrate the human body, otherwise the more than 200 people who dismounted would not have been standing anymore.

Even so, nearly 100 of the soldiers who carried the horses died in the rain of arrows, and those who survived were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Tan Wen's people reacted quickly, and without waiting for the white-robed soldiers to change into the second arrow box, taking advantage of the gap between shooting, more than 100 archers immediately urged the horses forward, came to the back of the horse with bows, risked the danger to shoot the arrows, and shot the wolf's tooth arrows at the white-robed soldiers.

The archers are veterans, shoot very fast, can pull ten bows in a row without stopping, wolf tooth arrows are heavy arrows, armor-piercing and penetrating force, a grade higher than the eight-inch short arrows used in the mountain crossbow, when shooting, the high score.

The white-robed soldiers were shooting by the wooden shield, and most of their bodies were hidden behind the wooden shield, in fact, they had the meaning of preventing the opponent's bow and arrow from counterattacking, but even so, there were still a few white-robed soldiers who were accurately shot by the opponent, and the powerful impact of the arrow knocked people to the ground and fell on their backs.

Wang Huan's transformed cotton armor with rattan armor The huge protective effect was shown at this moment, none of the soldiers who were hit by the arrow were shot through, and the most unlucky person was only shot through two layers of armor, the arrow was embedded in the flesh, but it was not fatal, and he could barely struggle to get up and hide behind the wooden shield.

Tan Wen's soldiers are very fine, watching the white-robed soldiers hiding behind the wooden shield, he stopped, and looked at which wooden shield someone came up, and immediately shot another arrow, the difference between a bow and a crossbow is here, a well-trained top archer can accurately shoot the arrow through the square hole of the copper coin thirty steps away, and it is difficult for a crossbow arrow to do this.

In this way, the white-robed soldiers can only hide behind the wooden shield and raise their crossbows to shoot, and the accuracy is greatly reduced, basically a blind shot, and the arrows shot out are ethereal, and few of them fall on people.

"Tell them to withdraw, it's almost done, and the cavalry should come out in a little while." Wang Huan stared at the battle situation exhibition, knowing that the mountain-destroying crossbow could not stop the movement of the Tan family's military horses, he immediately gave an order.

Zu Bian turned around and said a few words, and a Minzhuang with a huge gong in his hand on the side of the two raised a stick and knocked it out.

Beat the drum and march, Mingjin retreated, the ancient custom, the wooden shield soldiers and the white-robed soldiers moved when they heard the sound, and the wooden shield soldiers moved their big shields, covering the white-robed soldiers behind them, and slowly retreated backwards.

On the other side of the rejection, Tan Wen was already sweating profusely from the high temperature and heat wave, and the thick black smoke rolling in made it impossible to breathe, and if he stayed for a while, he didn't need to burn the fire, the smoke alone could suffocate him.

But he didn't dare to take off the heavy fish scale armor on his body, and he was about to move away, the obstacles in front of him had been removed, and the last critical moment was coming.

Tan Wen had already looked at the opposite side of the formation at the moment when the arrows on both sides were flying just now, and estimated that there were about 3,000 stone pillar soldiers, with six layers of pikemen fortified in front of him, and foot soldiers on both wings, which seemed to be fully prepared.

And on his own side, there were only about 400 cavalry people, excluding the nearly 100 people who had just been shot dead, and only more than 300 horsemen remained, and the number of people was very different, expecting the foot soldiers behind to follow? Pull them down, those people may have choked to death in the pine forest by the smoke.

However, the three Tan Wen brothers are not very worried, the cavalry against the foot soldiers, if it is a war of annihilation, it is very difficult, maybe they will fall into the infantry formation and die alive, but Tan Wen's purpose at the moment is different, he just wants to escape, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the formation is like a knife cutting mud bricks, as long as he rushes up to kill a way, it is a victory.

Of course, if there is a dignified white pole soldier on the opposite side, he has no such idea, in the face of the kind of strong army that does not blink an eyelid when the knife is handed in front of him, there is no other way but to surrender, but the current stone pillar soldier is not like it.

The soldiers on the opposite side are all dressed in sackcloth, and they don't even have basically unified uniforms, and most of the bamboo guns in their hands are in their hands, how do you look like the thieves who were beaten all over the ground by the officials and soldiers a few years ago, or the most inferior kind of cannon fodder thieves, to deal with this kind of horizontal team composed of people who can't be called soldiers, they don't use knives to cut, and the horse team rushes directly, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves can make them scatter like birds and beasts.

At this point, Tan Wen is very experienced, and the experience of following the two governors to suppress bandits has given him infinite confidence.

"All of them are on their horses, and they are in a conical formation, with the heavy armor in front, and the rest follow, rush over to me!" Tan Wen hoarsely shouted and gave the order to charge.

Tan Zhi held his Xuanhua axe tightly, and straightened the position of the heart goggle, this kind of scene was exactly what he liked, he wore chain mail inside, armor outside, ordinary bows, arrows, knives and guns were almost immune, with a tall body and a hideous face, it was enough to give the enemy a strong deterrent.

The horse team quickly adjusted its formation and lined up in several horizontal formations, Tan Zhi stood in the forefront, and shouted with him: "Kill!" "Hit the horse and come out.

The distance between the two sides was too close, only about a hundred steps, so there was no change in the degree of ordinary charge, Tan Zhi directly raised the horse to the highest height, the spur pierced into the horse's belly, oozing blood, the war horse was in pain, crazy galloping, and rushed forward like a whirlwind.

The cavalry followed, and the horizontal team immediately turned into a wedge, and Tan Zhi became the most cutting-edge point, he held the axe flat, and the sharp blade of the axe was facing the head of a stone pillar soldier he was staring at.

With the help of the horse's momentum, Tan Zhi was able to cut off the soldier's head without any force.

From the moment Tan Wen began to charge, Wang Huan issued three orders in a row.

"The wooden shield is tightened, the teeth are buckled into the soil, the shield bearer resists the shield, and the trespasser is killed!"

"Two rows of spearmen stepped forward, leaning against the wooden shield and raising their guns, and those who retreated without permission were killed!"

"The soldiers live behind, listen to my orders to prepare the extinguishing bombs, throw them when the suona sounds, and cut those who throw without authorization!"

Zu Bian strode with a huge hook and sickle spear three zhang long, and rushed into the second row of spearmen behind the wooden shield, with a look of excitement on his red face, he was a man born for war, the bloody qi could bring him boundless satisfaction, and the pleasure of slashing the enemy army could make him even more intoxicated.

"Cheer me up, no one can be a seed! Lord Wang is right behind us, and if I die, he will be on it, and whoever dares to run away will screw his head as a night pot! Zubian's face was distorted, and his loud voice burst to boost morale.

If you don't be ruthless, it is difficult to guarantee that the people will not instinctively turn around and flee in the face of the cavalry crushed by tanks.

Wang Huan did not stand on the ancestral side, it was also out of this consideration, beside him, behind the other three layers of people, there were dozens of white-robed soldiers, holding crossbows as a supervising team, anyone who dared to run back from the position where Wang Huan was standing, no matter who it was, they would all be shot.
