Chapter 153: Cavalry Battle

"Back to the city!"

Hao Ren didn't want to fight with the elite of the grassland of Yuekuochaer, but there was no way, Quanjiao was too far away from the Yangtze River, and it was too late to retreat the army to the Yangtze River and join Yu Tonghai, so he could only rely on the remnants of Quanjiao and line up.

"The firearms battalion climbs the city wall, the left army ranks left, the front army column is in the middle, the Anqing army ranks right, Hu Dahai rangers press the left outpost, the Tu Danhu Chinese army presses the right outpost on the right thousand, and the rear army is backed by the city!"

Hao Ren should have been distributed, and all the people and horses nervously arranged the troops.

"Boom-"

The earth roared because of the resonance of the horse's hooves, and the remnant sun in the west was like blood, reflecting the horizon in the east.

"Brothers, hurry up, the enemy is already coming!" The generals of the various armies shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to hurry up and complete the formation before the cavalry.

Hao Ren had already gone through several battles, but his heart couldn't help but "ordinary" and beat wildly, he stood at the head of the city, pretending to be calm and took out a monocular, and observed the enemy's forward.

I saw the vanguard of the army of Yuekuochaer, all brown leather armor, the number of soldiers is not much, no more than three thousand at most, among the many horses, it seems a little sparse, the agile rider rides a horse, and at the same time leads two horses, from time to time there are riders holding the saddle of the horses on their sides, like a rabbit falling down, it has already changed another horsepower of the war horse, the horses do not stop, and go straight to the whole Jiaocheng to kill.

It is worthy of being a steppe cavalry, growing up on horseback since childhood, and his riding skills are really good, with such a marching speed, there are indeed few armies in the world that can cope with such a rapid counterattack.

The speed of Yuekuocha'er's forward was too fast, the Qingfeng army did not line up at all, the artillery had not yet been pushed to the head of the city, and without the cover of heavy weapons, the cavalry rushed like this, Hao Ren's tens of thousands of troops would collapse in an instant, and the people that Hao Ren had worked so hard to gather would also be kicked over by such horses' hooves.

"Let the disciples stop them!" Hao Ren said coldly.

He knew that the 1,000 elite left guards of the Governor's Mansion of Tu Dan Hu might not be the opponent of this cavalry, and with Hu Dahai's bravery, he might be able to resist it, but Hu Dahai had just come back from patrolling, and the war horse was physically exhausted, and the rear cavalry notified by Yang also came back in the second half of the attack on Quanjiao, and the horsepower did not recover, so he could only let Tu Dan Hu block the enemy's forward and buy time for the Qingfeng army.

Wu Liujiu received the order and waved the yellow pennant in the colorful military flags of the Chinese army forward, and played the flag for Tu Danhu.

Tu Dan Hu has been following Hao Ren since he followed Hao Ren, although this flag has been Zhang Poyu has been in charge of playing the flag, and later became Wu Liujiu, but he is familiar with this kind of flag, he received the order, wielded the crossbow, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, we are the guards around the governor, now the war is urgent, the governor is watching us at the head of the city, fighting for the governor, death without regrets, but also let the commanders of the armies, ten thousand households see our ability, let them know that we are not a vase placed next to the governor!" ”

Tu Danhu made a mobilization, and every sentence went to the bone.

"Chiho is right! We're going to glorify the Governor! ”

"Qianhu give an order, the Miao knife under my crotch is already hungry and thirsty!"

……

The morale of the soldiers of the right guard of the Governor's Mansion is high, and they are not afraid in the face of a strong enemy!

"Brothers, run after me and stop them!"

With an order, he kicked the horse's belly, raised his crossbow, and took the lead, and the horse neighed loudly, like an arrow off the string, and went straight to the front of the enemy. Behind Tu Danhu, the right guard of the 1,000 Chinese army, with a long Miao knife across his waist and a crossbow in his hand, followed closely.

Hao Ren picked up the binoculars, holding a handful of sweat in his palms, I don't know, how are these soldiers who have been with the governor for a long time and claim to be the pride of the sky? They are all the best of the best soldiers in each department, wearing full-body plate armor, holding a hard crossbow, and straddling their waists with improved two-handed long Miao knives.

The 1,000 elite cavalry of the Qingfeng army, rolled up a line of dust, stabbed obliquely, and rushed to the enemy's military formation.

The two armies gathered one hundred and twenty paces, and the crossbows of the cavalry of the Qingfeng Army, with the advantage of long range, fired at an elevation angle, directly hitting the front of the enemy soldiers, and for a while, the crossbow arrows were like flying locusts, slightly towards the enemy formation.

Hao Ren stood at the head of the city, saw through the telescope, and couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to see the tragic picture of the enemy soldiers being hit by crossbow arrows.

It was too late, it was fast, and at the moment when the crossbow fell, the riders on the back of the enemy soldiers' horses suddenly disappeared, and most of the horses that charged forward, under the control of the riders, the horses were tilted to the left and right respectively, and the riders hung their bodies on the other side of the horses with their superb horse skills, and there were more superb riders, whose bodies were directly drawn under the horse's belly, and hid in the stirrups.

The crossbow bolts then rained down, and there were only two or three riders, and most of them were crossbow arrows, which only wounded the horses and stopped the horses from neighing. Seven or eight horses, screaming and roaring, fell down because they were wounded, but the riders were not hurt, and one rolled up, wielded his sword, and continued to charge on foot.

A round of crossbow arrows, inflicting such small damage on the enemy, made Hao Ren stunned, there was no way, the cavalry equestrian skills of the grassland were too exquisite.

Eighty steps, the enemy's iron tire bow was launched, the bow and arrow fell into the military formation of Tu Danhu like a flying locust, and the cavalry of the Qingfeng army also dodged, just lowered their heads slightly, and used the long edge of the forehead of the helmet to cover the two holes in the face, and the bow and arrow clanged into the military formation of the Qingfeng army, eighty steps, the bow and arrow were not enough to cause damage to the plate armor of the Qingfeng army, however, under such a dense bow and arrow strike, there were still many bows and arrows shot into the insignificant gaps in the plate armor, causing three or five Qingfeng army riders to fall off their horses!

The Qingfeng army fired a round of hand crossbows, the Mengyuan cavalry fired a round of feather arrows, the Mengyuan riders relied on equestrianism, and the Qingfeng army relied on armor, and the losses on both sides were slightly equal.

"Shoot the horse!" Tu Dan Hu was at the forefront of the battle, and he saw the superb riding skills of the enemy soldiers in time, and he knew that he couldn't shoot people.

Within thirty steps, the second round of crossbows of the Qingfeng army was launched, and Tu Shan Hu set an example, shooting a crossbow arrow into the head of a horse, and the horse whimpered, together with the rider, and fell to the ground with the crossbowman behind Tu Shan Hu, either standing on the stirrups, or shooting flat, throwing the crossbow to the enemy formation, and in an instant, fifty or sixty enemy horses, fell to the ground!

Twenty steps, ten steps, five steps...... The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, and the hand-to-hand battle is imminent.

The Mengyuan cavalry, shouting slogans like songs, wielding the saber with one hand, the cavalry of the Qingfeng army, holding the Changmiao knife in both hands, shouted the killing sound to the sky.

In close combat, it depends on the combat quality of the soldiers on both sides, whether the armor is strong, or the riding skills are powerful? (To be continued.) )
