Chapter 183: The Flock of Sheep to the Slaughter

The sky was overcast, there had been a light rain last night, the ground was a little damp, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of earthy before the onset of winter.

The long row of black shadows that suddenly appeared on the horizon rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, the horses' hooves were flying, the sludge was flying, and more than a thousand Khitan light cavalry rushed by, trampling this peaceful grassland into a cloud of black and yellow mud in an instant.

The more than 1,000 Khitan light cavalry in the wild running, the formation is like a goose egg, running in the back of the hundred or so horses, a hundred people shouted loudly, running in the last two or three hundred Khitan cavalry took out the bows and arrows in their hands, while running, they were ready to shoot arrows!

Among the 1,000 Zhenwu cavalry chasing behind him, more than 20 cavalry were speeding up, and gradually broke away from the Zhenwu Army's main formation brigade from the right side behind the Khitan army column and caught up!

Rouran smiled.

Yes, your Zhenwu cavalry is very capable of fighting, but compared to the steppe people, it is obviously still a little worse.

Don't you know that when the cavalry pursues the cavalry, those who are chasing behind actually suffer a little bit in terms of range? If you get too close, it's easy to get into a situation where people can shoot you and you can't.

This is the so-called Mongolian Mangu in Xiaobaiwen.

It's just that the whites never thought that this slight difference in range could easily be offset by accelerating and decelerating the pursuing troops behind.

A cavalry brigade with mature riding skills can keep an equal distance pursuit for a long time when pursuing the cavalry brigade in front, waiting for a suitable time for a surprise attack. Once the enemy brigade in front slows down, your own brigade can also slow down immediately to prevent the enemy dogs in front of you from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and even if half of the people dodge their waists, they will also launch the "Little White Mangu" tactic, resulting in an early outbreak of arrow rain battles and premature entry into decisive battle mode.

The problem is that once the fleeing cavalry brigade in front slows down, it is not so easy to accelerate again!

It's not a dozen gangsters fighting each other! That's a cavalry brigade of thousands of men!

There are so many people, you have already run in front, and you haven't moved in the back!

This can easily cause a small group of people at the tail of the queue to fall behind and be quickly approached by a large force of the enemy army pursuing behind them.

It is extremely dangerous for a small army to break away from a large army!

If you shoot someone, there are only a few dozen arrows in a salvo, and when someone shoots you, it's a few hundred arrows in a round!

In the same way, this situation is the same for the pursuers, your brigade follows behind, you don't dare to get too close, that's not a problem. But if you dare to break away from the brigade and pursue at high speed, isn't that the same as falling into a dead end of a small army facing a large army?

You shoot people, a round of salvo is only more than 20 arrows, people shoot you, but a round of two or three hundred arrows!

It's no wonder that the hundred-man commander at the end of the Khitan army became excited, and hurriedly asked everyone to prepare bows and arrows, and strive to shoot all the twenty or so Zhenwu army cavalry who were looking for their own death in one round!

It's a pity that the Rouran people still think too much.

Rouran people don't know how to read!

These more than 20 people have a fart the size of a basin hanging on their bodies!

Haven't you heard of the Butt Soldier?

Mixing in the Zhenwu Army, if you want to mix up a fart word on your body, it's too difficult!

Zhenwu Army's fart soldiers, each of them is one of the best men in a hundred, with strong arm strength, superb riding skills, and a tiger's back! I still have to maintain the training intensity every day, and I can only sleep if I pull 500 arrows a day!

Those fart soldiers, when they go out for exercise in the morning, which one doesn't have a stinky face, nostrils facing the sky, and looking at people like dead dogs!

Haven't you heard that those ass soldiers who have been approved for recruitment don't even want to take off at night when they put on that military uniform with big ass written on it on the first day?

"Man, why don't you take off your clothes? Panic! ”

"That's it! Rough and rough! ”

"You two mothers-in-law know a fart! This dress is strong to wear! It's all ready! Today, I will teach you a good lesson! ”

Ordinary archers, when running at high speed on horseback, cannot be exhausted because of posture problems, so the range is between 100 meters and 150 meters, and those who can shoot 200 meters are already considered rare masters.

But if the enemy appears slightly to the right behind you, that's where your strength is weakest!

You have to twist your waist and turn around to risk flashing your waist before you can shoot, and you have to change your left hand to draw the bow, which could have shot 200 meters, but now you can shoot 150 meters!

However, the Zhenwu Army's fart soldiers, who train during the day and fly at night, just run slightly to the right behind the tail of the Khitan Army array, and they are all in the position of almost the best output, everyone can shoot two hundred meters, there is no problem at all!

More than 20 long arrows were shot out immediately, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 people in the Khitan army column rolled off their horses and fell off their horses, rolling all over the ground like a broken bowling ball, and were trampled into pulp by the cavalry of the Zhenwu Army who ran from behind!

The fart soldier shoots far, shoots accurately, and shoots fast!

Before the Khitan cavalry could react, the second round of arrows had already been fired!

More than twenty bowling balls rolled all over the place.

And then the third round, the fourth round

When there was an exclamation in the back, there was already a brave hundred people who couldn't help it, shouted and led dozens of people to deviate from the route, rushed out of the brigade, and wanted to turn around and chase the fart cavalry, only to suddenly find that as soon as he came out of the ranks, the speed slowed down, but the thousands of Zhenwu troops behind him had already caught up!

Hundreds of long arrows were densely packed in the sky, and they were heading for them!

The desperate hundred people shouted, pulled up the longbow in their hands, and shot towards the person who rushed to the front, Tang General!

Very good, shoot accurately!

With a bang, Captain Liao blocked his left arm and blocked the incoming arrows with a small shield the size of a casserole hanging on his left arm.

Dozens of Khitan soldiers who rushed out just now were hit by arrows one after another, and only five or six horsemen fled quickly.

At this time, Liao Xian waved his spear in his hand and ordered his brigade to stop the pursuit.

Today's fight is relatively cool, when being chased, more than 300 horses, when chasing people, more than 100 horses, General Zhao Ping Zhao is right, fighting on the grassland, but it is much cooler than fighting in the Central Plains!

If you earn it, you run, if you lose it, you will find a way to come back, fight on the endless prairie, you don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and you don't care about the advantages and disadvantages of the moment, anyway, if you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can run!

On the horizon, the original five hundred Khitan heavy cavalry appeared again, and the two Khitan armies converged, which was not something that Liao Xian's current thousand light cavalry could deal with.

Therefore, Liao Xian didn't plan to continue the pursuit for the time being, so he just stopped and rested.

Stopped his horse and let the 1,000 light cavalry behind him slowly circle in place at the speed of human walking, loosening the muscles that were too tired from running just now, while monitoring the Khitan army that was converging with light and heavy cavalry from a distance.

This Nima was very annoying, neither fighting nor running, staring from afar, as if watching a large pack of wolves watching a flock of sheep.

When did the troops of the Central Plains become so gloomy?

The Khitan army was also observing from a distance this Zhenwu army, which suffered a big loss in the first battle, and everyone was a little discouraged.

Not good! They are not resting, they are waiting for another Tang army to come!

The Khitan general who led the team suddenly felt cold behind him, turned his head, and saw a long row of black shadows on the horizon!

Not one, but two!

A total of three cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, from three directions, slowly surrounded and surrounded the Khitan army composed of Rouran people in the middle.

When did the Khitans become a flock of sheep that anyone could come to bite and be chased and intercepted by wolves? (To be continued.) )
