Chapter XVII: Unilateral Massacre
"Peng", "Peng", "Peng", "Peng" continuous bowstrings sounded, and more than a dozen arrows were shot towards the Khitan cavalry about fifty meters in front.
Two of the arrows were significantly faster than the others.
Shan Wu's arrow speed was simply an afterimage, whistling through the air, rushing out of the crowd, and snorting into the eyes of the Khitan cavalry running at the front, with a muffled sound, strong arrow power, so that the long arrow actually pierced out from the back of the Khitan cavalry's head, bringing out a long red and white blood stream.
The unfortunate Khitan cavalryman fell backwards, his back slammed into the horse's back, and the blood gushing out instantly stained the horse's buttocks and tail.
The arrow shot by Wang Da Sledgehammer also accurately hit the right shoulder of the other cavalryman, and the sudden burst of pain caused the cavalryman's whole body to tilt to the left, and then the arrow shot by another Tang soldier drilled into the neck of the war horse, and the war horse was in pain, and immediately stood up and lifted the wounded cavalryman out at once.
More than a dozen arrows rushed in the face, causing seven Khitan cavalry to be thrown off their horses on the spot, and these cavalrymen were either wounded or killed, or simply fell off because of the wounds of their horses. The remaining six uninjured horses were also severely frightened, and their forward gallop almost stopped.
Du Bin and Wang Dali jumped out at the right time with their spearmen.
"Kill!" Du Bin shouted.
"Kill!" The spearmen who jumped out shouted in unison.
Although Du Bin and his ten-member group were the last to jump out, they were the closest.
I saw Du Bin holding spears in both hands, taking the lead in shouting all the way to kill, trotting all the way, and rushing straight towards the horse of the nearest Khitan cavalryman who was not injured.
The Khitan cavalry also reacted quickly, their legs clamped the horse's belly, and the saber in their hands had already been slashed diagonally at Du Bin's head.
Du Bin is almost forty years old and a veteran.
He is a veteran who has been in the Tang Army for more than ten years, and he is often accompanied by a spear, and he is agile and agile to compete with macaques.
As a veteran oilman, the experience of surviving on the battlefield has long been superb, and he has just broken through the first layer of the "Heart Appreciation Sutra", and the sensitivity and reaction speed of the whole person have increased by two times, where can he be slashed by the sabre of the Khitan soldiers.
I saw that he exerted force under his feet, and suddenly accelerated a big stride and jumped forward, and the Khitan saber suddenly lost its accuracy and fell behind him.
During the run, the spear in Du Bin's hand changed direction slightly, brushed the mane of the war horse, and accurately stabbed the Khitan cavalryman's chest from the bottom to the top, directly forking the Khitan soldier from the back of the horse's buttocks, falling off the horse, and dying in one fell swoop.
The other Tang soldier next to him didn't have Du Bin's ability, and as soon as he got close to another Khitan soldier, he was slashed down by someone else, slashed on the shoulder, and the blade went down to kill until he was chest, almost the whole person was split.
Not to mention that morale is very important, in the midst of the terrible screams, the dying soldier fiercely stretched out his hands and struggled to pull the Khitan soldier back the knife shaft. At this time, the other three Tang soldiers next to him shouted in unison, stepped forward together, and the three spears clicked, and stabbed into the ribs and abdomen of the Khitan cavalry at the same time, stabbing the murderous Khitan cavalry out of three big blood holes on the spot, and he couldn't see that he could not survive.
Seeing that the Tang soldiers had surrounded them on three sides, the remaining four Khitan soldiers hurriedly turned their horses and ran back.
There is no way to do this, the fierce reputation of the Khitan Iron Rider is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Don't look at the Tang army rushing out so many spearmen at once, basically they all ran to assassinate the Khitans who fell off their horses, just to pick up a bargain, and the cavalry that was really besieged was just the two horsemen.
The speed of the four Khitan soldiers who ran back had not yet risen, and Wang Da Hammer and Shan Wu double-bowed at the same time, and one person and one arrow shot into the back vests of two of them. The third Khitan cavalryman was thrown by Liu Qi with a javelin throw, a spear flew over, inserted into his back, and he also fell off his horse on the spot, and he couldn't die anymore.
In fact, only one remaining Khitan cavalry ran out, and the problem is, we He Daxian are rushing back.
Although he knew that the one who was riding a horse in front of him was the murderer who had killed the two horsemen in an instant just now, but the surviving Khitan cavalry had no other better choice, so he had no choice but to surge in blood and blood, and called out to the god of their tribe in his mouth, pointed forward with his saber, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and bravely inserted it at the oncoming He Daxian.
He Daxian had already pulled out his "Dark Moon Knife" from behind his back, preparing to open the blood meat for the first time for this one-handed broadsword that had never been used.
The two horses were staggered, He Ping's right hand grasped the handle of the knife, and with a slight flip, he pushed away the blade that was stabbed from the opposite side, and then flipped the blade again, and the sharp blade of the "Dark Moon Knife" cut straight along the long wooden handle of the saber, and cut off the fingers of the Khitan soldiers all the way in the blink of an eye, then cut off the wrists, and then cut into the necks of the Khitan soldiers, and dragged out of the back of the Khitan soldiers' necks without hindrance.
He Daxian's war horse did not stop at all, and his right hand raised the "Dark Moon Knife" that was only hung with a drop of blood to the sky, and a roar like a bell rolled out from his thin body:
"Departure!"
With He Daxian's loud roar, the head of the Khitan soldier behind him rolled off the horse with a clatter, and then the body that lost his head also fell.
"Departure!" On the Tang army's position, the spearmen who were slaughtering the Khitan soldiers who fell to the ground, although they didn't know what the commander shouted just now, they also shouted stupidly.
At this time, the morale of the Tang soldiers who were raging had risen to the extreme, everyone rushed forward, and countless spears stabbed at the Khitan soldiers who fell to the ground, regardless of whether these Khitan soldiers were dead or alive, anyway, dozens of blood holes were stabbed into the bodies of everyone wearing Khitan uniforms.
Pity the corpses of these Khitans, which were indiscriminately inserted by the Tang soldiers, and were completely unmanned, turning into pools of mud.
He Ping reined in his horse's head and saw that even the unarmed Huanzhou miscellaneous soldiers rushed up, punching, kicking and spitting on the corpses of the Khitan cavalry, and knew that these soldiers were no longer afraid of the Khitans.
It's time to collect troops and prepare for the second big war, and there will be 200 Khitan soldiers in the back soon.
That's the real battle!
"Liu Qi, Dali, you hurry up and collect the horses."
"Go back, return to your original position, and prepare for the second battle!"
"Du Bin, go collect those sabers and give them to a few people with great strength."
"Sledgehammer, collect the Khitans' bows and arrows."
"Shan Wu, bring me the horse lance of the Khitan general. And armor. ”
"Master, the Khitan general's bow is good, can you give it to me?" Shan Wu asked.
After seeing He Ping nodding, he took the refined three-stone longbow into his possession, replaced the ordinary longbow before, and then handed the horse lance to He Ping.
The so-called horse lance, in fact, is also a kind of saber, but the well-made more, the lance is wrapped with cloth, and then soaked in tung oil repeatedly, the strength is as strong as steel, far from the ordinary cavalry saber wooden pole can be compared. The blade part of the lance end, both the material and the connection with the lance rod are also made of refined steel.
The strength of the entire weapon has increased by several orders of magnitude at once, and this is the weapon used by generals.
Of course, the Khitans did not have the ability to make such a fine horse lance, and He Ping estimated that this Khitan general had previously captured it from the Tang or Liang armies.
"Who else can ride a horse?"
