Chapter 197: Heavy Cavalry Is Not Afraid of Feather Arrows

When the 50,000 cavalry led by Sima Zhi arrived at the foot of Musang Mountain, Ranat. Gupta has already placed 200,000 soldiers and horses, densely arranged into dozens of military formations, forming horns with each other, lined up at the foot of Musang Mountain, just waiting for the Qin army to come and kill!

The Gupta dynasty will star Ranat tomorrow. Gupta and the lord of the country of Bha-winged Luo, Adpilo, and others, stood behind the military formation, where the Chinese army was, and several people talked and laughed from time to time, quite a little talking and laughing, and regarded tens of thousands of Qin troops as nothing! In their opinion, only forty or fifty thousand remnants of the army were defeated, as long as they dared to rush into battle, it would be a dead end!

Sima Zhi saw from afar the dozens of military formations arranged by the enemy army at the foot of Musang Mountain, and was slightly stunned, with a rather amusing expression on his face! According to the terrain here, shouldn't the enemy ambush on the top of Musang Mountain, and when the soldiers and horses led by him pass under the mountain, they should be condescending, charge down from the mountain with lightning speed, cut off their 50,000 cavalry, and then divide and kill them in batches?

This kind of mountain warfare technique is the usual tactics of the Qin army, such as Qin Feng with 4,000 Qin army iron cavalry, in Liuya Mountain to stop Mengla. When Gupta led an army of 200,000 Gupta Dynasty, this tactic was frequently used several times! Such superficial tactics, not to mention Qin Feng and others, are Sima Zhi who is not able to understand strategy, and he can use it freely!

Just when Sima Zhi looked at the distant military formation with some surprise, Sima Li, Wang Yanbo and others were overjoyed when they saw the enemy military formation! If the enemy army is camped on the mountain, then this traffic artery at the foot of Musang Mountain is really not so easy to pass! However, the enemy army actually sacrificed their own strengths and chose to arrange troops at the foot of the mountain, and the enemy generals arranged it like this, how could they not make Sima Li and the others ecstatic! Looking at the soldiers and horses of all countries in the land of Tianzhu, if you talk about frontal fighting in the field, who have the Qin army soldiers ever feared?

"Ah Zhi, you lead 10,000 iron cavalry from the headquarters of the Qin army to charge into battle, for your father and Wang Yanbo, Zhou Hao leads 40,000 cavalry from various countries to ambush here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Remember to rush and kill for a while, don't fall in love with the battle, lead their army to attack, let him see the power of my Qin army's sharp soldiers"!

Ever since Sima Zhi led his troops to the country of Jiacorpse with full of fighting spirit, he was holding back his strength to fight a hearty battle. It's a pity that he has just led the army to arrive, and the lord of the Naga Corpse Country, Masri, is not only killed, but also a group of civil and military generals of the Corpse Country have also opened the city and surrendered.

Now, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side are in position, and they can see that they can fight a big battle! Sima Zhi looked at the military formations in the distance, and his heart was already happy, in his eyes, those military formations in the distance were not powerful things, but like chickens and dogs, they were simply sent to the door, just waiting for themselves to go and harvest!

After Sima Li's instructions, Sima Zhi didn't say a word, and took the tiger camp under his command, as well as the Xiao cavalry camp under Wang Yanbo, and the hussar camp under Zhou Xu's department. A full 10,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army rushed towards the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Gupta Dynasty at the foot of Musang Mountain, and dozens of military formations were arranged!

Sima Zhi held the Zhangba long lance in his hand, and the horse galloped first, and the 10,000 Qin army soldiers behind him followed closely with the momentum of Cheng Yanxiang. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty, who were still full of ease just now, looked at the heavily armored cavalry of the Qin army that was getting closer and closer, and the contempt in their eyes gradually swept away, replaced by a slight fear and a trace of inexplicable fear!

Heavily guarded by 200,000 troops, Ranat. Gupta looked at the 10,000 Qin army iron horsemen from far and near, slightly distracted! Will this cavalry of the Qin army, which is like a torrent of steel, be the remnants of the defeated army who were ambushed in the Valley of the Sinking Tree and fled in defeat?

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and when there are less than a hundred feet left, Ranat. Gupta shouted: "Archers prepare, release the arrows!" "Lanat. Gupta gave an order, and 50,000 archers in the 200,000 army bent their bows and arrows one after another, shooting at the 10,000 cavalry of the Qin army led by Sima Zhi!

The range of the bows and arrows made by the countries of the land of Tianzhu is only 100 zhang, and its lethality is extremely limited, compared with the Qin army's hand crossbow, it is much inferior, as for the Qin army's foot crossbow or the hundred-person giant crossbow, it is even more beyond reach! With these ordinary feather arrows, it is also effective against ordinary armies, but when used against the heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army, these feather arrows can be said to have almost no effect!

The heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army, whether it was a rider or a war horse under the crotch, were all wearing heavy armor. Under the protection of this heavy armor, not to mention these ordinary feather arrows shot by the archers of the Gupta Dynasty, they are the crossbows of the Qin army, and in the face of this heavy armored cavalry corps, there is nothing to be done!

If you want to pose a threat to the heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army, in addition to the Qin army's hundred-man giant crossbow, even the Qin army's foot crossbow must be within 50 zhang before this heavy armored cavalry will suffer casualties! However, once the heavy armored cavalry is approaching within 50 zhang, it is difficult for any infantry army formation to block its edge, and arrows are used as long-distance killing weapons, no matter how powerful the power is at this time, what is the effect?

These heavy cavalry of the Qin army, after the Qin army won one after another since the Qin city and captured countless war horses and ordnance, especially after the five thousand elephant horsemen of the Saluo Kingdom were destroyed and obtained the armor around them. Qin Feng and the others were frugal, raised money in many ways, and barely scraped together, equipping 20,000 people with heavy armor and high-headed horses.

Heavy armor is easier to do, not enough to rebuild, but War Horse is too difficult! You must know that the heavy armored cavalry, not to mention anything else, is the armor of this rider and the armor worn by the war horse, which is almost more than 200 catties.

And the riders of the heavy armored cavalry are all selected from the Qin army, burly and sturdy men, otherwise why would they carry heavy armor and fight on horseback. This sturdy soldier plus a suit of armor, as well as Qin swords, lances, crossbows, arrows and other weapons and equipment, as well as the rations brought by the march, weighed no less than 500 catties, and ordinary war horses could not bear such a load.

What's more, under such a big load, they have to run long distances to fight on the battlefield, and ordinary war horses are even more embarrassed! Therefore, the war horses used by the 20,000 heavily armored cavalry of the Qin army are all carefully selected high-headed horses! Now the monstrous Qin army has a total of 50,000 troops, and the heavy armored cavalry is only 20,000, and half of them are under the command of Sima Zhi this time!

When Sima Zhi led 10,000 heavily armored cavalry to charge, he saw that the feather arrows shot by the enemy army were already like a big black carpet, pouring down towards his 10,000 Qin army warriors!

Sima Zhi and the 10,000 Qin army soldiers, seeing these feather arrows, showed a trace of contempt and smile, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of dodging, but faced these tens of thousands of arrows, and continued to rush towards the enemy army's formation!

The 10,000 heavily armored cavalry of the Qin army, except for a few unlucky ghosts, were shot in the face by the enemy's feather arrows, and fell off their horses. The rest of the nearly 10,000 Qin army warriors, under such a large area of arrow rain, actually rode their horses all the way, but they were not damaged at all!
