Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rain of Arrows

In the eyes of You Shigong at the head of the city, the cavalry on the battlefield is like a small snake entangled and neighing with each other, the place where there are many people is large and small circles, the sharp parts of the flag and weapons are particularly conspicuous, the knight and the war horse are like small worms, crowded together with each other, in the inner and outer circles of the circle, people are constantly falling and dying, the battle is too fierce, the fighting is too fierce, the cavalry runs too often, the air is filled with a strong smell and earthy smell, and finally, he saw He Shixian's flag appear at the edge.

"Open the West Gate." You Shigong ordered the city gate to be opened, and he decided to lead his family out of the city to fight the Houjin soldiers and rescue He Shixian.

The number of the Ming army at the head of the city is still very much, more than 200 officers of more than 1,000 generals are stationed in various parts of the city, the city gate is guarded by officers and guerrilla level officers, Shenyang is an acropolis, there are no local civil officials, and civilian officials such as the supervision army and the military preparation road are not stationed here, after He Shixian left the city, the highest level official in the city is You Shigong, but he is also going out of the city.

"You are stationed in sections, if I have an unexpected ......" When leaving the city, You Shigong simply ordered: "Staff Generals Xia Guoqing and Zhang Gang took over, and refused to defend the city to wait for reinforcements." Speaking of this, You Shigong smiled and said: "I heard that Jingluo has sent reinforcements to Shenyang, there are as many as sixty or seventy thousand people, and the garrison of our Shenyang City is already much more than Dongyu. ”

"Commander-in-Chief." General Zhang Gang persuaded: "General He's army has been ambushed, why do you want to go out of the city." ”

You Shigong was not angry, glanced at Zhang Gang, and said with a smile: "For the general." You need to take the lead and dare to fight. If you don't save your allies when they are attacked, what kind of general will you be? ”

Soon, the city gate opened, and in the eyes of the densely packed defenders and people at the head of the city, You Shigong, who was wearing mountain armor and riding a yellow fat horse, quickly passed through the city gate surrounded by hundreds of his own families.

You Shigong's cavalry are also all family members. They were all veterans, and if they were usual, they would first use light cavalry to sweep forward after leaving the city, and then the main force would gallop and shoot hard, disturbing the enemy's position, impacting the enemy's formation, and killing the enemy with cameras. Their martial arts are strong and experienced, both riding and fighting skills and archery skills are very sophisticated, but the He Shixian and his subordinates who have just seen being surrounded and defeated have crossed these people, the elite cavalry of the Ming army is strong enough, and the family members are also strong enough. He Shixian himself has no generals in his hands, but the strength of the Houjin soldiers is not under the Ming army, the armor is stronger, the combat power is higher, and the command is more reasonable. From beginning to end, He Shixian and his subordinates were led by the nose of the Eight Banners. More than 1,000 elite cavalry were divided and surrounded at this time, and they were constantly harvested like wheat, and most of the casualties of the Eight Banners were only in the early stages of the battle.

With this kind of fear and cowardice, You Shigong's subordinates have not improved their horseback riding, but on the contrary, they are getting slower and slower, so that You Shigong's horses are getting faster and faster, passing many of his subordinates and standing out in front of the team.

Seeing the Ming army out of the city, the Eight Banners cavalry of the brigade suddenly appeared in front.

These Eight Banners soldiers did not hesitate and hesitate, they flew head-on, the two sides approached the distance that could fight in the blink of an eye, compared to the resoluteness of the Eight Banners, You Shigong's subordinates hesitated, and at this moment, the Houjin soldiers raised their bows and shot arrows.

The bow and arrow came suddenly like a storm, the Ming army was unpleasant, and the situation was not resolute, which gave the Houjin soldiers the preparation time to line up and calmly adjust the archery distance, but more than 100 steps apart, the power of the arrows was great, with the sound of collapse, a large number of arrows fell on the helmets of the Ming cavalry, on the neck, shoulder armor, cuirasse, legs, abdomen, almost all people can imagine the body parts may be hit by the flat armor-piercing heavy arrows of the arrows, the strong arrows of the East are extremely fierce, even if many of the Ming troops wear double armor, These armor-piercing heavy arrows can also break through the armor, cut through the skin, and penetrate directly into the human body, the arrows are stirring, the arrow shaft trembles, causing continuous and violent damage, the dense arrow rain keeps shooting, not only people are in the arrow rain, the horses are also shot straight by these arrows, many war horses were shot, the arrows were deeply inserted into the horse's body, the horse fell to the ground, the knight was also taken over, lucky to jump away at the last moment, if it was unlucky, the heavy horse body pressed on the knight's body, fell hard, There is no doubt that the person who fell to the ground like this will be seriously traumatized, fractured, internal injuries, blood spurting from the mouth and nose, and he can't move for a long time, if the Ming army wins, they still have a chance to live, but such a chance is very slim, no one cares about the wounded at all, the Ming army is dodging in a hurry, avoiding this terrible arrow rain attack, and at the same time, there are many strong people with bows to fight back, but their return is weak and weak, almost no threat to the heavily armored Houjin soldiers, and some people fired three-eyed guns, fireworks rise, white smoke fills, The tongue of fire erupted like a ceremonial flame set off during the festival, separated by a hundred steps or so, the three-eyed gun could not hit that far at all, in the face of such an attack, the eight banner shooters on the opposite side were unmoved, the shooters on their two wings continued to shoot arrows, each shooter kept drawing arrows out of the quiver sac, and then shot the arrows out with the fastest degree, all the Jurchen shooters did not aim at a target carefully, but aimed the bow and arrow at the top of the entire Ming army's queue, they used the projectile method, as long as the general direction was good, even if the shot could not hit the person, will also cause damage to the Ming army's war horses, each archer has a wealth of battlefield experience and excellent marksmanship, their arrows do not seem to have been broken, each arrow is chasing each other in the air, keep falling above the Ming army, the Ming army is like a storm beaten by the remnants of flowers and leaves, keep falling from the horse to the ground.

Someone was shot in the face and died silently.

Someone was shot in the chest, someone was shot through the ribs, someone was shot through the thigh, they either endured the pain, or howled miserably, or continued to follow You Shigong forward, or they were already turning their horses back, and the war horses were more panicked than humans, a large number of war horses were shot, each horse was covered with dozens of hundreds of arrows, dense, it seemed to be a hedgehog that had become bigger, some of the war horses were shot painfully, running around on the battlefield, disrupting their own team, some of the war horses were shot in the eye, or their ears were shot off, People and horses died under the rain of arrows, this dense rain of arrows seemed to be thunder and rage, it seemed to be the wrath of heaven, it seemed to be the integration of all the terrible things in the world, people had nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide in such a rain of arrows, no one could be left alone, everyone began to despair, and the spirit of the warriors who had once disregarded life and death also collapsed, they wailed, cried, and let their horses run around, in such an attack, the elite cavalry of the Ming army, which had not yet fought with the enemy's armored heavy cavalry, had collapsed on its own.
