The final battle on the beach of the West Estuary unfolded quickly and inadvertently.

The sudden rain of arrows offensive on the Tang army's position was aimed at these hundreds of Khitan infantry who were building roads, as well as General Xiao Luying, who was mixed in with them.

"Arrow strike! Arrow Strike! ”

As soon as Xiao Luying saw the Tang Army's arrow rain launched, she immediately turned around and ran away, and at the same time issued a warning loudly.

The more than 100 Khitan road builders who had been on guard for a long time immediately threw away the forks in their hands and hid behind the erected shields.

When the first rain of arrows fell, many of them hit the big shields of the Khitan soldiers, making a crackling sound like a torrential rain of dense raindrops, which was exciting. Less than ten Khitan soldiers were shot because of slow movements or angles, and lay on the ground after a few screams, and a personal soldier of General Xiao who was riding on a horse was shot in the back by an arrow, turned over and fell off his horse.

Xiao Luying moved quickly, and immediately urged the horse to flee back, and the general avoided all the feather arrows.

"Come again, prepare, put!"

When the horse was accelerating, Xiao Luying had already heard that the generals of the Tang Army were ordering the second round of arrow rain, and then there was a noisy bowstring sound behind him, and the second round of arrow rain of the Tang Army shot out again!

Although he bent over and lay on the horse's neck, and was fleeing back, his movements were very indecent and embarrassing, but General Xiao's mood was very good at this time.

There's no way not to be happy, it turns out that these rookie generals of the Tang Army who can only pretend to be forced don't know how to command archers to fight at all!

You must know that General Xiao is an expert in archery and arrows, and his understanding of archery combat is very profound. In many novels, when describing ancient archers fighting, it is always said that thousands of archers shot arrow after arrow, and their hands were so sore and swollen that they couldn't lift them. In fact, it was all a fool, so that these novelists really commanded the war, and they didn't know how to die when they died.

Quite simply, because they themselves don't know how to shoot arrows at all!

The bows used by ordinary soldiers in ancient wars were all shoddy, and the materials used to make bowstrings were also cow tendons, cowhide, bark or something, not to mention many burrs, and the elasticity of the bow was also very poor, and soldiers often needed a lot of strength to pull the bow away.

Effort is not the main problem, the most troublesome is that the bowstring is very cut.

Like the stupid Tang general just now, command the archers to draw their bows and shoot arrows in a row and quickly, at most three arrows, most of the archers' fingers will be cut and bleed, and then the entire archer team can basically rest. There are some experienced veterans who may wrap strips of cloth around their fingers or something, but if they shoot up to five arrows, the strips of cloth will be torn apart and their fingers will start to bleed.

Therefore, for professional archers who need to keep shooting arrows consistently and quickly, there is one piece of equipment that is actually very important, and that is the wrench.

A wrench is a small thick loop like a nut that is placed on the thumb to withstand the cutting force of the bowstring when the bow is drawn. Although the thing is small, it can multiply the combat power of the archers.

In this era at the end of the Tang Dynasty, wrenches were usually made of horns, which were very troublesome to make, and were generally only equipped for generals, which was considered a luxury. There is no such thing as a standard wrench for ordinary creeps.

That's why General Xiao reacted immediately as soon as he heard that the Tang Army had launched a second round of arrow attacks, this is a good opportunity!

"Wow!"

General Xiao roared without hesitation and gave the order for the Khitan army to attack!

Anyway, that bad road has almost been filled, and when will it not be attacked at this time!

When the second round of arrows fell, the momentum was much louder than the first wave of arrows just now. The Tang Army's archers were divided into left and right sides, and the first round of archery just now was only shot by one hundred and fifty archers in Wang Dazhu's squad, and the direction was relatively consistent, and it was easier for the Khitan soldiers' big shields to block.

In the second round, a total of 300 archers from the left and right sides shot together. When Captain Zhao came back and passed by just now, he had already appointed Wang Dazhui to take over all the archery teams.

A total of 300 arrows formed a crossfire, and now those Khitan soldiers could not completely cover their bodies even though they had a big shield in front of them.

With a hula, the second round of arrow rain fell to the ground, and more than 40 Khitan soldiers turned over and fell! The screams rang out.

As a rising nation, its bloody nature of not fearing death and despising all enemies is rooted in the heart of every ordinary soldier.

Where are the arrogant Khitan soldiers willing to hide behind the big shield so much and let the Tang army shoot! As soon as I heard the commander shouting, "Wow! These Khitan soldiers, who were originally only responsible for road repair, immediately jumped up, pulled out a single knife hanging on their backs, put the big shield in front of them, and spontaneously raised their knives and ran forward!

The sound of horses' hooves galloping like thunder behind them also sounded, and these running Khitan soldiers knew that the cavalry brigade behind them also began to charge, and everyone was even more crazy, everyone's eyes were red, their faces were hideous, and they threw away all distractions and moved forward bravely!

"Wow!"

He Ping, who rode a black horse back to the Tang army's position, ran back to the tent all the way, quickly put down the unconscious Shan Wu, and handed it over to Liu Qi and Lu Min'er to deal with, and then with a wave of the spear in his hand, Wang Dali led more than 80 Tuyuhun cavalry to follow.

Coming out of the filled muddy ground, from the first position of the Tang army on which sampans were piled up, there was still a flat land more than a hundred meters long, which was the best place for cavalry to slaughter infantry.

However, in this short window of time, it was not the Khitan cavalry that made a move on this sandy land, but the cavalry of the Tang Army! What they want to slaughter are these Khitan shield players who dare to rush up without knowing whether they are alive or dead and not riding horses.

He Daxian took the lead, Wang Dali followed, and Ah Du and Ah Sang each led a team of more than 40 cavalry of the Tang Army, lined up in a long snake formation of four horses, like a rolling iron stream swept all the way.

At this moment, the Khitan soldiers who were screaming and charging all the way with the big shield were dumbfounded. These people were originally rushing with blood, and they were going to rush over and hack those hateful Tang Army archers, why did another Tang Army cavalry suddenly appear?

The Khitan cavalry had long been accustomed to riding on horseback to chase down the infantry and civilians, but today the situation is completely reversed.

However, it was too late, the leader of the black-clothed Tang General had already raised the red tassel gun in his hand, and waved the spear in his hand as a long stick, the light and shadow flashed, and suddenly the stump and broken arm that were split into several pieces flew up! The Khitan soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the shadow of the guns were not good, and to the left of the black-clothed Tang general was another gray-clothed cavalry general, holding the long knife in his hand steadily, without any strength at all, following the galloping horse speed, he shook it with a knife, and cut off two heads and three arms in an instant!

Riding on a horse to kill infantry, it's so cool!

Wang Dali experienced this invincible super pleasure for the first time, the whole person was full of energy, highly concentrated, the long knife in his hand changed slightly in a direction, pushed open the long knife in the hand of a Khitan soldier in front of him, and the war horse under his crotch hit forward mercilessly, and immediately knocked the Khitan soldier covered in blood, and flew to the middle of nowhere to die.

Once the sad Khitans got off their horses, they found that they were nothing, and in front of this group of high-speed Tang army iron horsemen, it was as if they were swept under a speeding train. Even if they escaped the quick knives of the two god-killing gods in front, there was a long column of Tuyuhun cavalry rolling in behind. For a while, the sound of horses' hooves in my ears was like thunder, and there were splashes of minced meat and blood everywhere, and the ubiquitous Tang army sabers harvested the lives of these Khitans without mercy, and the herds of war horses like a torrent of steel rushed and trampled on the Khitan infantry fleeing in panic.

In just a dozen seconds, the Tang cavalry swept through like a violent wind, and most of the seventy or eighty Khitan sword and shield soldiers who rushed over just now turned into a blood-red mud, and the corpses and severed limbs were scattered everywhere, but the unscathed Tang cavalry didn't say a word, and they turned and ran back to their positions without letting out a single fart.

In the early days of entrepreneurship, cherishing soldiers is king! The cavalry in He Daxian's hands is a seed army, so he will not continue to lead his cavalry to fight head-on with the Khitan iron cavalry.

It is best to use cavalry against infantry, and to deal with the enemy's cavalry, of course, with infantry and archers!

Directly in front of the position, the first batch of about 300 Khitan light cavalry had increased to a speed of nearly 80 miles, and was rushing towards the Tang army's position at high speed through the filled mud pond.

"Left team, ready, put!" The cold voice of the captain of the archers, Wang Dazhu, resounded from the position.
