Chapter 106: Battle Array Momentum

(Thank you for the reward from the book friend "Haha Hero King"!) )

Five hundred horsemen rushed forward, but about two hundred steps, they automatically converged into five horizontal rows, each column was more than ten zhang apart, like a stormy wave, rolling over.

I have to say that these Liaodong people who grew up on horseback since childhood, riding skills are indeed beyond imagination, if it is a field battle in the plains, with the current Great Song Dynasty ordinary forbidden army against the enemy, I am afraid that it is not an opponent, and only the Western army that is accustomed to holding each other with the Western Xia cavalry can fight. And this is only a temporary formation, and the resentful army with incomplete armor is like the real tribal army of the Liao State, and its combat power is still above this, especially the remote blockade that acts as a scout in the army, and the cavalry is more powerful.

Like this kind of army, the 20,000 Jurchens who were beaten by 700,000 against the enemy gold lord Wanyan Agu in Hubu Dagang, and the blood that was killed was like a river, and they were crushed for thousands of miles, and I really dare not imagine how strong the Jurchens' combat power would be.

When the five hundred horsemen stepped into the small pit area, they realized how terrifying such an inconspicuous dense arrangement was, and almost in an instant, nearly a hundred horses were broken, and the knights also rolled off one after another. At this moment, the sailors and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time behind the walled wall immediately fired crossbows, and at a distance of a hundred paces, there were twenty or thirty horsemen who were hit by arrows. The reason why the casualties were not high was because Hua Rong had ordered in advance that the thousand people in the battalion were divided into four teams, and they could only shoot at the front team without his order.

The more than 300 horsemen who followed saw that the situation was not good, and the soldiers who rushed to the front pulled the reins violently, and at such a high speed, nearly half of them galloped past in front of the trap.

Zhao Heshou, who was watching the battle from a hundred zhang away, saw this situation, not only was he not afraid, but he also had a happy attack between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He didn't care about the trap outside the camp gate, he only cared about the number of crossbows in the camp. The 500 cavalry rushing to the village just now was just a tentative attack, and the effect of those small but dense traps was greatly beyond its expectations, and nearly 100 war horses were damaged. Fortunately, this is Liaodong, and there is no shortage of war horses, like in this famine year, even horses will be killed to satisfy hunger.

Since there were not many bows and crossbows in the village, Zhao Heshou did not hesitate, and waited for the soldiers who had retreated from the front to return from the new team, leaving two hundred horsemen to guard the horses, and the remaining more than 1,700 people all dismounted.

"The one who breaks the village first, the women's wealth is optional!"

Zhao Heshou drew his knife in his hand, looked up to the sky and shouted, and the rest of the people shouted and cheered accordingly, and the howling sound shook the sky, like a pack of wolves.

In the camp, hearing such a roar to the sky, after all, all the soldiers of the sailor had never seen blood before, and a few months ago they were just a group of civilians, and they couldn't help but change color a little at this time, and there were not a few who were even wet with their crotches.

Hua Rong had already expected this situation, if it weren't for the fact that the terrain here could be relied on and there was a wall to block it, he would never have fought this battle. Compared with those thieves in Qingzhou, the Liaodong resentment army in front of him is much more powerful, and his fighting spirit is even more incomparable.

This is by no means a light battle, and it is impossible to say that many sailors and soldiers will die here.

In fact, when Hua Rong just took over the training of the Dengzhou Naval Division, Ximenqing had an entrustment, as long as he could train a strong team, he would not be afraid of sacrifice and would not hesitate to reward him.

Seeing the resentful sergeants in various costumes on the opposite side roaring all the way to the camp, Hua Rong, who was originally guarding behind the camp gate, went up to the watchtower next to him, dressed in a white suit, standing in the wind, like a cliff pine, nailed to it.

Bow open, shoot!

Dengzhou Sailor knew that his regiment practiced divine shooting, and the soldiers who were originally worried saw Hua Rong go up to the watchtower, and their attention suddenly turned to this side, and the fear in their hearts was a little gone.

"Bang! Yes! ”

A resentful soldier who rushed to the front roared, and his huge body like a bear fell on his back, but an arrow passed through his throat and killed him on the spot.

This man is quite famous among the remnants of this group of resentful troops, he is tall and powerful, he is good at using a giant shield in flail, and it is said that when he fought with the Jurchens, he also won the first rank, a real warrior, and he must be the first in every battle.

There were two arrows just now, but it was Hua Rong's arrow that first pierced the huge shield in front of this person, and then shot into the throat, regardless of strength and accuracy, it was extremely terrifying.

The people of Liaodong are already good at riding and shooting, so they naturally know the stakes involved, and some people shouted "Condor Shooter" in panic at the moment, and everyone who heard it was shocked.

"Poof!"

Zhao Heshou, who was originally protected by several cronies, changed his face, and immediately glanced at a henchman beside him, who was also fierce, stepped forward a few steps, and slashed the person who screamed just now from behind with a knife, and at the same time kicked out the head that fell into the dust, and rolled out dozens of steps away.

"Those who stir the hearts of the army will be killed!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, on the watchtower one hundred and fifty steps away, Hua Rong shot three arrows in a row, but three more people fell in the resentful army's array, including the henchman Zhao Heshou who waved his hand to kill.

After all, this guy in front of him is not a regular army, and he relies on a bloody courage in every battle, but he is just struggling to survive, how can he be a real warrior. At this time, Hua Rong used a trick, and immediately filed his sharpness, and no one dared to stand in front of the battle, looking around, trying to find a safe place.

"Look what! Our resentful army is just a rotten life, if we don't fight today, where will we go to find a way to survive! ”

Zhao Heshou also knew that something was wrong, so he had to stand up at this time, while boosting morale, he focused on Hua Rong in the distance, and didn't dare to be careless.

Hua Rong on the watchtower also knew that one could not be the other, after all, it was one hundred and fifty steps away, if the other party was on guard, even if he was a magic arrow, it would be difficult for him to make contributions.

"Kill the thief for meritorious service, behead one level, and reward five times!"

With Hua Rong's divine shot, a group of new sailors are much more stable in their hearts, and now they have heard that such a generous reward can be said to be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the atmosphere in the camp immediately changed, and everyone stared at those Liaodong people in the distance, clenching the bow and crossbow in their hands, just waiting to fight again.

As for the remnants of the resentful army on the other side, it was originally a poor and lowly outlaw, Zhao Heshou pulled his neck and roared a few times, and everyone came back to their senses, but they were even more fierce than before, and everyone had red eyes.

"Kill!"

Zhao Heshou suppressed his throat and roared, and he rushed out first, and when the rest saw it, everyone gritted their teeth and competed for the lead.

No one expected that the two armies inside and outside the camp had not really fought each other, and the atmosphere of slaughter on this battlefield had reached its peak.

Hua Rong went down the watchtower, and saw that most of the resentful army rushed to a hundred paces away, and immediately shouted: "The whole team shoots a salvo!" ”

"Bang!"

More than 1,000 crossbows were fired, and a burst of black mist suddenly rose in front of the camp, and in the blink of an eye, there was a miserable cry among the resentful army.

These resentful armours are not evenly armoured, and those wearing leather armor are less than one, not to mention the iron armor that can defend against crossbow arrows, in the face of such a strong crossbow dense fire, the casualties can be imagined.

"Phew!"

An arrow slashed through Zhao Heshou's cheeks, bringing up a blood groove more than an inch long, but this guy was brave, licked his tongue, and spit a mouthful of red on the ground, but his feet did not slow down the slightest, and still rushed towards the camp gate.

At a distance of 100 paces, with such a large scale of shooting, Zhao Heshou immediately estimated the approximate number of defenders in the village, and shouted: "But eight or nine hundred southerners, rush in with Lao Tzu and slaughter his mother cleanly!" ”
