Chapter 675: Shaken on All Fronts (4)
On the wall of Luling Village, Yin Keshu kept watching the progress of the war, his brows furrowed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, it's still the strong army of the Southern Dynasties! Sure enough, it is still a strong enemy of our Jurchen army!
The fighting on the mountain road subsided slightly, and the roar of horses' hooves in the river valley became louder, and the brigade was about to turn around the mountain bend and face the Southern Korean military horses who were already on guard.
Standing next to Yin Keshu was a Jurchen Mou Ke Ahan, who also couldn't help shaking his head. There are many tribes in these grasslands, and they are quite prosperous, but this combat power is really enough. No wonder it has been fiercely suppressed by the Khitans for more than 100 years, and they can't resist at all, and they are also killed like chopping melons and vegetables against the military horses of the Southern Dynasties.
"Yin Keshu, if you don't pass the order to let those people and horses under the mountain retreat, how many lives will you have to pay for it?"
Yin Keshu replied coldly: "How do you know if you don't bump into it?" These raw mouths, how many deaths and what are they straight? ”
He turned to look at Ah Han again: "Even thousands of people have come from afar, and with only our Jurchen sons, these southern barbarians can't take back Luling!" Just use these raw mouths, even if you kill a Southern Barbarian, it will be one, and when this strong army of the Southern Dynasty is destroyed, the entire Southern Dynasty will be open in front of our Jurchen sons! Overhead on the mountain road, the phalanx fought to the death with the surging Zahu, and Han Shizhong's attention had completely turned to the road in the river valley.
With just a glance, Han Shizhong could be sure that the miscellaneous Tartars surging down the mountain road could not even easily break through the elite phalanx under his command.
Its main combat power is still placed at the bottom of the mountain!
The phalanx of the two commanders kept extending, forming a three-fold arrow array, while extending the array, the footsteps moving closer to Huang Wenjin never stopped, such an array change level is really strong to a certain extent.
And in the valley road, the sound of hooves is like thunder, the neighing of war horses, and the main force of the Zahu Brigade finally shows its figure!
The width of the Fen River valley behind him is no longer the level of the army that can pass through it, but the narrow basin that can be placed under the state army and county governance. Although the valley of the tributary of Lanshui is far from the vast access road of the Fenhe River valley, there is no pressure to deploy thousands of troops.
Because the roads in the valley are not narrow, these miscellaneous Tartar cavalry must hide far away so as not to be discovered. At this time, he finally bypassed the mountain bend and appeared in front of Han Shizhong.
The smoke and dust rose in chaos, and the miscellaneous Tartar cavalry that turned from the bend of the mountain for a while had a rolling momentum!
Compared with the clumsiness of starting and going down the mountain to fight, these miscellaneous Tartars seem to have changed when they get on their horses, and they are adjusting their horse speed all the way. When turning the bend in the mountain, the horse's speed was at its highest, and thousands of horses' hooves rolled and knocked, shaking the earth and rocks on the mountain for a while.
Dressed in leather armor, some of the leaders looked like iron armor captured from the Song army, curled up behind the neck of the mount as best they could, and frantically stepped on the spurs, posing as if they were colliding with the formation at high speed.
After the first Mixed Tartar Knight, there were more people and horses pouring out in an endless stream, and the sound of people shouting and neighing was loud, but compared to the chaos of the array at the start, it was decent to immediately impact the array. What's in front is always in front. The one in the back is always in position, and the distance between the two riders is not too far and not too close to the general, leaving plenty of room to maneuver.
As these miscellaneous knights continued to pour out, the hundreds of divine forces commanded by Huang Wenjin, who were waiting in array on the roads of the river valley, were like a wall composed of light horsemen and constantly approaching at high speed!
The range of the valley of the tributary of the Lanshui. The phalanx that Huang Wenjin set up only occupied half of it, and it was lined up closely according to the mountain. These mixed knights extended the team while impacting, and the distance was spread wide, the momentum was even more amazing, and among the smoke and dust, those who lacked a little experience in battle formations really didn't know if they were facing thousands of iron horses, and they didn't know if they could survive under such a strong impact!
Each of them had a hideous face. Loud shouting, red eyes. One desperately stepped on the spurs, and put on a posture of rushing regardless of the collision formation!
The generals who can't hold their breath a little bit may really fall for their evil.
In this way, one is to force the courage of the enemy in front of them, induce them to fire arrows early, and when they are facing the enemy, they may be able to rush into more than a dozen steps, and then cross the formation at high speed, sweeping in front of the formation, and when they pass by, thousands of arrows will rain into the enemy array in front of them. The follow-up army horses will repeat this step, and under the blows of more than ten rounds and dozens of rounds of arrow rain, the array is often already chaotic, and when the formation collapses, it is naturally the time to urge the horses to step into the formation.
The grassland miscellaneous light riding is nothing more than these tricks.
But when the huge momentum was raised for a while, the dust was rolled up in the sky, and the hooves roared like thunder, and the knights of the brigade of knights were getting closer and closer, not any of them could stand firmly!
Since rounding the bend in the mountain, in an instant, the large group of Hu cavalry has approached the range of about 100 paces of the enemy array in front of them, and the speed of the horse has not decreased. The first Miscellaneous Tartars all turned their hands and held the horn bow in their hands, their blood-red eyes staring at the Southern Dynasty armor soldiers in front of them, their arrays still standing as immovable as steel walls.
I don't know how many miscellaneous people shouted in their hearts at this time.
Why don't you release arrows? Didn't the southerners all take the bow and crossbow first?
Han Shizhong is not there. Huang Wenjin set up his own general flag in the phalanx, standing under the general flag, and holding a straw stick pulled down from the side of the road in his mouth. Sitting on horseback and not stepping on stirrups, he squinted at the team of Hu Qi who was advancing like a wall in front of him with his legs crossed.
When the first tartar, the faces in the smoke and dust were faintly recognizable, and the sound of hooves rolling shook the ground slightly. These miscellaneous bearded tartars imitate the cries of eagles and wolves, which are deafening.
But Huang Wenjin's squinted eyes still didn't open half a minute.
In front of him, the array was all dismounted and infantry warriors, both of them were covered, wearing armor and holding a shield, and there was no long blade in their hands. A hundred armor soldiers formed a thin column, looking fragile. In the face of the enemy cavalry that was getting closer and closer, he did not move.
Behind them, there was a three-fold array of arrows. Each stack is one, and what they hold in their hands is a step-down war bow, and the bow power is one and a half stones. Compared with the horn bow with a bow strength of up to six or seven buckets held by the Zahu knights, it is twice as strong, even in the Shence army, only Han Shizhong's Chinese army, can immediately step down, and can make a foot bow with a cavalry!
Many cavalry soldiers in the Song army can often only be called horseback riders, so riding the army and making a foot bow is also a common thing in the Great Song Dynasty. But in the middle of the Shence Army, there are even many knights, who can immediately open their bows, this is a truly rare warrior, the entire Chinese army of the Shence Army, are compared to the Western Army's selection of the front, and many people even eat the salary of the little envoy!
In the blink of an eye, a distance of 100 steps becomes 70 steps. And this phalanx, which was listed by a commanding man, was still not moving, and under the iron shackles, one by one the soldiers looked as usual in the face of the large group of Hu cavalry who were surging like a pack of wolves.
And the Zahu Knight, who was forced to a distance of seventy paces in the sound of smoke and dust, did not wait for the expected rain of arrows, and got closer and closer to the phalanx that looked like an iron wall. Under the fluttering of those red tassels, the indifferent eyes of the Southern Dynasty soldiers only made the Hu Qi who rushed in front of him scorch, and there was only an ominous premonition!
A bearded leader could no longer hold back, shouted loudly, took the lead in pulling the horse's head, and cut it horizontally, turned his hand over and already buckled the arrow to recognize the string, and opened the bow sideways in the gallop like a full moon, and his body was steady and motionless, which instantly showed the ability of these horses to grow up on the horseback.
With his order, hundreds of horsemen with mixed beards turned their horses and cut horizontally, opened their bows and recognized the strings, although the distance was still a little farther, but they quickly sprinkled a round of arrow rain, these southern barbarians were motionless, as stable as a mountain, I am afraid that it will not be easy to provoke.
When the bearded leader gave the order to lead the team to cut horizontally, Huang Wenjin spit out the straw stick, his eyes suddenly opened, sharp as lightning, and he shouted loudly and ordered: "Shoot me!" ”
The first stack of arrows suddenly opened the powerful bow and stepped down the warbow, and when it was raised a little, I heard a swift buzzing of the bowstring, and a rain of arrows sprinkled towards the horseman who was desperately turning.
After a rain of arrows, the first stack of arrows suddenly lowered its head and pulled the strings, and the second stack of arrows turned up a row of strong bows, and after a moment's pause, there was another buzzing bowstring trembling sound, and then a round of arrow rain was sprinkled!
At the time when those miscellaneous Tartars changed their direction and cut horizontally seventy paces away, and at the same time opened their horned bows, at this time, the armor of the Divine Ce Army, which was originally as quiet as a mountain, had already shot two rounds of arrow rain.
The bearded leader, who had already been ready to let go, saw a light shining above his head, but it was the reflection of the sun shining on the sharp three-edged armor-piercing cone arrow. I also heard countless small, dense and sharp air whistling sounds in the air, but it was the sound of the tail feathers of arrows flying at high speed gliding through the air at high speed!
The bearded leader opened his mouth and shouted in horror, a feathered arrow had fallen from the sky, and it was inserted into his mouth, and the three-edged arrow cluster with blood flowers protruded from the back of his head!
The feather arrows fell with a whistling sound, and in the smoke and dust, a group of people shouted and neighed, and for a while I don't know how many horsemen who were changing direction were shot off their horses.
The queue, which was originally quite neat, suddenly gave this round of rounds of arrow rain a big mess.
These miscellaneous Tartars really have never experienced the experience of fighting against the elite military horses of the Han family, and the four words of the array do not fight, but I don't know how many generations of Hulu have summed up the painful words with countless lives and black blood!
In the chaos, more miscellaneous knights poured out of the smoke and dust, although the speed was slightly slower, but the intention to move forward was more resolute, after all, these miscellaneous beards, although the equipment is not strong, the experience of the battle formation is even more lacking, the most ability is to kill each other between the tribes, but in the harsh environment, life and death are short and sudden growing up in the grassland, the ferociousness is innate. If it is a foot fight, these miscellaneous beards have no confidence in their own homes, and they may jump away if they have a slight casualty, but this is on horseback! All the miscellaneous beards, there is still hope for a while, and when the war horses rush closer, they don't believe that these southern barbarian arrays are not chaotic!
One by one, the miscellaneous beards that rushed out of the smoke and dust did not divide into any queues, and tried their best to crouch down, urging the horses to the highest speed, regardless of whether the horse's hooves were under the horse's hooves, whether they were stepping on the arrows and falling from the horses, and even the horned bows were only held in their hands, and they had no intention of spreading the rain of arrows.
When you get to twenty or thirty steps, you can see the faces of you southern barbarians clearly, and then shoot an arrow at the front door, look at the iron turtle shell on your body, what use will it be?
Relying on the arrogance that came all the way, relying on the far more men and horses than the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty in person, this Hu cavalry momentum still shows no signs of stopping!
Suddenly, the bowstring vibrated violently like a buzzer, ten times as loud as before!
Countless miscellaneous Tartars couldn't help but raise their heads on the horse, and saw that above the mountain where the Song army's formation was leaning, a team of iron walls was slowly walking down, and hundreds of red tassels were hunting and dancing. And the armor warriors of the Southern Dynasty who formed this iron wall also opened the strong bows and crossbows in their hands, raised the angle, and sent out a round of arrow rain!
Han Shizhong has already rushed back!
A more dense rain of arrows fell all over the world, and in front of the mixed array, it seemed like a dark cloud suddenly falling.
Countless arrows and sharp feathered arrows fell on the people and horses, splashing thousands of blood, and there was a scream of people shouting and neighing!
The arrow array formed by the two commanders was pressing on the mountain road, only seventy or eighty steps away from Huang Wenjin's array in the river valley road, and it was now unfolded. But it was not divided into three stacks of rounds like Huang Wenjin, but opened all the bows and crossbows at once, throwing out a rain of arrows!
The two commanders led by Han Shizhong arrived overnight, rushing hundreds of miles away, and the rest time in between only added up to one or two hours. It is seven or eight miles away from Luling. Before rushing to Luling, he dismounted and lined up, first carrying seven or eight hundred steps upwards with his armor, and then turning downward, and rushing back again without disorder. At this time, he still opened a strong bow, shot strong arrows, and the array was also lined up like an iron wall, neat and tidy, and the name of the strong soldier was indeed worthy of it!
However, such a hard work of running, so that the soldiers and soldiers can shoot more repeatedly, no matter how elite the Shence army is, it is not iron, and the strong bow in his hand can't open many rounds, so it is better to shoot out to give Hu Qi the greatest damage!
Han Shizhong didn't mean to fight a protracted battle with these Hu cavalry at all, with such combat effectiveness, and the Shence army had to fight with them, consuming precious strength, it was really a soldier who had been trained for so long in vain, and he had won so many battles in vain.
In the array, Han Shizhong also stood in the first row, with a huge bow in his hand, a sharp bow tip pierced deep into the soil, buckled a short iron spear like a giant arrow, and with a shout of both arms, the strong bow of four stones and six buckets was already open like a full moon, and the soldiers around him had to raise the angle to throw in order to make the arrow fly out of the distance, and Han Shizhong was the posture of flat shooting.
There was a loud trembling of the bowstring, and the sound of the giant arrow breaking through the air was sharp and loud, suppressing all other sounds for a while, and the giant arrow shot out. The body of the arrow trembled violently in the air, pointing directly at one of the Hu cavalry members, dressed in the standard armor of the Song Army, who was shouting for command, obviously in the direction of a certain tribal nobleman among the Hu tribes.
