Chapter 51: The Intestines of the Hu's Hands and the Blood of the Hu (5)

The two eagle chirps sounded in the sky almost at the same time, and when the cavalry on the ground was still a few miles apart, the two Hai Dongqing in the sky fought first at an altitude of several hundred meters.

Li Qi didn't care about the battle of Xiaobai, the eagle in the sky, and ordered the whole team to change horses at the first time, and then he stood on the saddle and observed the enemy situation with a telescope, roughly estimated the number of enemy troops, and was equally ecstatic in his heart.

The terrain here can be regarded as a fertile field, the terrain is extremely flat, there is no ups and downs, it is almost endless, Li Qi is expected to have the advantage of a telescope, and he can see it clearly, the enemy is the first elite trump card of the Youzhou Army - Drag River!

"Brothers, this time it's copied, at least six or seven thousand dragged down the river, do you have the confidence to eat five thousand?"

The five hundred and nineteen Tiance cavalry were extremely excited, and shouted in unison: "I am invincible!" I'm invincible! ”

Then after saying these words, they seized the time to arrange the saddle for the war horse, loosen the muscles and bones, feed some salt sugar water and horse feed, and also seize the time to drink some salt sugar water and eat some meat floss.

Li Qi and several condor archers in the army, the marksman bent his bow and arrows, waiting for Xiaobai to lure the opponent's Hai Dongqing over, but An Shouzhong's gray-white Hai Dongqing was not stupid, seeing Xiaobai swooping south, it didn't chase anymore, flapped its wings and circled in the sky, heading north.

Li Qi hurriedly put the written information into the bamboo tube on the little white leg, and at this time, An Shouzhong's eight thousand dragged Luohe was about to run into the land of two miles.

Li Qi whistled, and five hundred and twenty Tiance cavalry mounted their horses at the same time, and ran south, and An Shouzhong, who was pursuing behind, couldn't help but sneer again.

It's too late to run!

Even if the other party is one person and two horses. Horsepower is not an issue. But it's still doomed. Because although the other party ran straight all the way south. Chasing straight south on his side, logically speaking, he will almost never be able to catch up; But as the second general of the Youzhou Army, how could An Shouzhong not know the geography and terrain?

He clearly knew that about twenty miles ahead, there was a small river, and when the Tiance army wanted to cross the river, the speed would drop down significantly. It will be shot by the trailing river that is chasing after it as a target.

And if the Tiance army wants to turn a corner, it will be even more self-defeating, because they are 8,000 dragged down the river, sixteen times the opponent's strength, and they can stretch the frontal battle line very long, not waiting for the Tiance army to run out of the width of the military formation on their side, they will also be caught up, and then it will be encircled, it will be slaughtered!

And the other party's commander, King Jianning, will definitely be captured alive by himself, because An Shouzhong also knows. The reason why Li Qi was so brave before was because he inspired the arrogance and bloody fighting intent of Tiance Mansion. I heard from the person who reported that later he was pale and kept sweating, and it was a sick cat at the moment, and it was impossible to kill the encirclement!

It's a pity, according to the information An Shouzhong has, this Li Qi is perfect in all aspects, extremely smart, talented, brave and strategic, the only drawback is that his personality is too strong and straightforward.

He must have seen An Zhongzhi burning, killing and looting, and he was so angry that he burned his blood and blood, so that he continued to go north in anger, and he also said wildly that he wanted to kill all the Youzhou soldiers who rebelled this time, but in the end he let himself fall into a desperate situation.

Soon, when the Tiance army lifted the horse speed, the Dragloge River led by An Shouzhong also chased it almost to the place of an arrow, and these Draglox took out the strong crossbow and horn bow one after another, and only waited for the range to be launched.

In fact, if both sides were stationary, they could already shoot at this distance, but now they can't, now the opposite side is still running ahead, and their side is downwind, and the Tiance cavalry is fully armored, not only every warrior is wearing iron armor, but every war horse is also wearing leather armor, so it is necessary to chase a lot closer.

However, the range of the Luoluo River is not enough, but the range of the Tiance Army is enough, the power of the strong crossbow in their hands is four to five stones, almost every knight is the range of the condor archer, plus it is the upper hand, at this time they keep turning back and firing arrows.

(Regarding the cavalry chase, the absolute dominance of the runner in front, I gave an example before, and I will say it again.) It's like two motorcycles chasing each other on the highway at the same speed, and the person in front of you will spit in the face of the person behind you when they turn around, and the person behind you will spit on the person in front of you. The same is true of the archers' chase. )

These more than 500 Tiance cavalry are not only the strongest soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but also each of them is a veteran of more than ten years, coupled with these two years of uninterrupted training, this kind of kite flying tactics has simply risen to an artistic progress.

As a result, every time they turned around and fired a salvo, at least more than 300 people were shot and fell off their horses in the back of the Trailing River, and the reason why it was not 500 was because the formation of these Trailing Rivers was not dense enough, and there were often several Tiance soldiers who chose a target.

After two rounds of salvos, An Shouzhong felt the grievance in his heart, this bow power turned out to be issued by a five-stone crossbow, and it was almost four or five breaths to complete a winding, this Tiance army was completely bullying itself with the advanced weapon!!

Lao Tzu is not convinced!

Lao Tzu must wipe you all out, and snatch these powerful crossbows worth 500 yuan and armor that is said to be invulnerable!

So An Shouzhong ordered to be a little behind, not to chase too closely, and to press at full speed when he was almost to the small river.

Then, although they were already almost two hundred paces behind, the five hundred and twenty Heavenly Strategies were still on the strings and came back to shoot a salvo, and although the accuracy was much worse than before, there were still seventy or eighty people each time.

An Shouzhong was depressed, and ordered to slow down a little more and shorten the distance, and then the Tiance Army also slowed down and continued to shoot back. An Shouzhong was furious, and ordered the two wings to move forward diagonally and outflank at full speed, and then the Tiance army also accelerated, just to prevent you from outflanking......

The two top cavalry teams of this era galloped across the plains of Hebei in this way, you chased me and ran, An Shouzhong also met with the five hundred Tiance cavalry in front, he chose a distance not far and not close to bite tightly, and chased after him at the cost of almost thirty casualties every time the Tiance army turned back and fired a salvo.

Seeing that there were only about four or five miles left from the small river in front of him, An Shouzhong heard the blue-gray Haidongqing above his head screaming loudly, and An Shouzhong yelled that it was not good. The Tiance dog thief is really cunning. There was an ambush.

And then he saw. In front of the Luoluo River army array, three cavalry squads were turned out from the front and the east and west directions, looking at their banners, it should be two hundred horsemen in front of them, four hundred horsemen on each wing, and the thousand Tiance cavalry had already been ambushed here.

Then An Shouzhong quickly reassured that the other party together was only 1,500 cavalry, and he still had close to 7,000 trailing rivers. With more than six times the troops, even if the other side has an ambush, why should he be afraid of a battle.

An Shouzhong was born in the Khitans, originally had no surname, and An, who had a surname with An Lushan, as early as when he was a teenager, he listened to the elders in the tribe and those disabled veterans talk about how powerful Wang Zhonghei is and how brave the Tiance army is.

What is the battle of the Sanggan River, the Tiance cavalry suddenly came out from behind, and no one could stop it. Only 3,000 soldiers and horses instantly broke through 40,000 soldiers and horses, and almost cut down the Khitan Khan.

An Shouzhong was extremely unconvinced before. And now that he is facing a 1,000-day army with 7,000 Luohe and 1,500 days, if he doesn't dare to fight, will he still have this morale, and how will he lead the troops in the future?

Isn't there a cloud in the art of war, husband war, courage also!

Even if the thousand-day army on the other side is waiting for work, what can it do, if you want to fight, you will fight, and if you are afraid of death, it will not be a drag down the river!

An Shouzhong decided to face the battle head-on, although he felt in his heart that this time he was waiting for the army of a thousand days, and his side would definitely suffer a lot of losses at that time, but he had no doubt that his side would be able to win in the end.

And even if the casualties are huge, it is worth it, on the other side is the number two person in Tiance Mansion, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, now that Xiao Qu is sick and dead, and the king of Jianning dies again, Tiance Mansion will really be leaderless!

And there are fifteen hundred sets of extremely advanced equipment left for themselves, even if they fight five thousand Luluohe, it is worth it; An Shouzhong suddenly thought of the words that Li Qi had asked the three hundred Xi cavalry to bring back, if there was no such thing, maybe as soon as the battle was fierce, these Luoluo River would have surrendered.

His family knows his own family affairs, and An Shouzhong knows that these Luoluo rivers are basically the kind of mothers who have milk, and they have long coveted the rich fairy life of Dugi Province!

This King Jianning is really self-defeating and self-defeating!

An Shouzhong loudly ordered the troops to slow down and quickly start to shrink, but the effect was not ideal, the chase was too long, the formation had long been chaotic, and those Tiance cavalry were too chicken thieves, and they turned around to pick officers to shoot, and now the formation of the seven thousand rivers is chaotic and the formation is scattered.

At this time, the five hundred and twenty cavalry led by Li Qi, the king of Jianning, also put up their crossbows, picked up their spears, turned their horses' heads, and rushed towards their side, and all the 1,500 Tiance cavalry had a kind of confidence in victory.

An Shouzhong suddenly had a bad premonition, but now that the arrow was on the string, he couldn't control it so much, he shouted loudly: "Give me a rush, kill King Jianning!" ”

On the other side, Li Qi also shouted: "Follow me and kill them all!" ”

In the process of sprinting at full speed, the 1,500 Tiance cavalry who rushed towards the 7,000 Luoluo River from three directions formed a dense formation in the blink of an eye, almost knee to knee, flat end of the spear in his hand, the tail of the gun was clamped under the armpit, and the eyes of each knight were shining with fanatical light, but An Shouzhong obviously felt that the momentum on his side was also suppressed a lot, and some of the Luoluo River cavalry obviously had a panicked look in their eyes.

"Rush to me, we're six times as many as them!" In fact, at this time, the war horse accelerated to the fastest, the horse's hooves roared, and the knights on the horse were highly nervous, and not many people could hear their commands.

However, in the next moment, he saw an extremely incredible scene, seeing that the knights of the two sides were only less than fifty paces apart, and the horses of the two sides were about to collide in the blink of an eye, the 1,500 Heavenly Cavalry actually took off the strong crossbow hanging on his chest at the same time, and then pulled the trigger.

Seeing that 4,500 crossbow arrows were shot out one by one, An Shouzhong was so aggrieved that tears were about to come out at this moment!

Didn't you say that it was good to hedge with long weapons? They all picked up their spears, why did they still fire crossbow arrows? After firing the crossbow arrows, they are about to abandon the crossbow, are they too busy?

He naturally didn't know that Tiance Mansion had already practiced this set of actions no less than three thousand times, and in less than a second, he could complete the action of picking the crossbow, opening the insurance, pulling the trigger, and then letting go, and there was a thin iron chain hanging on the armor on the crossbow machine, and there was no need to throw the crossbow or release the crossbow at all.

And the Luoluo River can't do such an action, one is the mindset, and the cavalry hedge is to use long soldiers; Second, they basically did not use crossbows in cavalry, because crossbows were more complex than bows and more expensive than bows, and it was extremely difficult for them to wind their horses without a hand-cranked crossbow; So the result is that it is too late to use a bow and arrow in the hedge, the two sides hedge at full speed, and they can only shoot one arrow at most, and the bow and arrow occupy two hands, and it is too late to abandon the bow or change the crossbow to the spear after shooting, and you can't take the bow and the spear on the opposite side to stab, right?

They never thought they could play like this!

In the midst of all the Dragloche's stunned eyes, four thousand five hundred crossbow arrows flew lightning over the distance of less than forty paces, crashing straight into the scattered and loose military formation of the Dragloch River from three directions, and in three directions, the three or four rows of Trailing River Knights in front of them were almost swept away.

Immediately afterwards, the 1,500 Tiance cavalry was like four chisels, chiseling into the formation of the Falling River Army that had been frightened by a single blow from three directions.

On the other side, the commander of the Trailing River, An Shouzhong, had more than a dozen crossbow arrows in his body, and he fell from his horse without looking at him, and the remaining Trailing River collapsed in an instant and began to scatter and flee.

The slaughter has begun!

And An Shouzhong was hovering in the sky, and the blue-gray Hai Dongqing also screamed a few times at the first time, flapping his wings and flying north, Xiaobai shouted excitedly, and chased after him. (To be continued.) )
