Chapter 9: Charge

At the same time as the red-armored soldier roared, the two black flag soldiers and the Bashiku both turned over and dismounted, and when they fell off their horses, they had already taken their bows and arrows in their hands.

These Houjin soldiers have been fighting for many years and have a lot of experience in warfare, and while taking their bows, they hide sideways to the other side of the horse, using the body of the war horse to cover themselves.

The same was true of the roaring red-armored soldier, but his movements became a little slower when he was hit by an arrow in his arm.

Gao Xiaosan, Yang Guoyong, and the He brothers also stood up together, they had already set up arrows, and at this time they all drew their bows to the full, aiming at the target on the slope.

The sound of the collapsing bowstring sounded one after another, and the buzzing sound of the arrows breaking through the air was also non-stop, both sides were elite with excellent archery skills, and the first round of mutual shooting basically found the right landing point, the injured red armor soldier was the concentrated target on Han Xu's side, because the movement was slower, this red armor did not find shelter in time, most of the body was still exposed, and was shot by two arrows in a row in the crook of the leg, and another arrow hit the back, only one arrow was deflected, but it hit the war horse beside him.

The red-armored soldier who was still roaring just now was hit by arrows in a row, and began to lose a lot of blood, but he was wearing iron armor, and the four arrows only made this person weak, but he did not die for a while, this red armor began to crawl on the ground, and obvious blood marks were dragged out under his body, and the blood stained the green grass and black soil under him.

The companions around him gathered fire and injured the target, but Han Xu shot an arrow towards that Bashiku.

While he was shooting an arrow, the Bashku also aimed at the target, and also shot an arrow.

Both sides use the thumb buckle method, the arrow and the bowstring are closely connected, the thumb is used to connect the tail of the arrow with the bowstring, this way of shooting the arrow tail can be shot without slotting, the foot bow used by Bashiku is very long, the bowstring is tight, at least more than 20 forces, when the bow is drawn, the meat drum on the arm of Bashiku is very powerful, so that people have an illusion, as if the man's arms have been enlarged several times.

With such a hard bow, it would take a little time to pull it up, and when Han Xu shot the red armor and opened the bow again, this Bashiku Fang shot out with an arrow.

Han Xu's arrow was very light, the arrow flew straight towards Nabashiku, the other party was very experienced, when he heard the sound of breaking through the air, he knew that this arrow was coming at him, and he also knew that there was not enough time to shoot it, so he immediately raised his arms and blocked all the doors and chest.

"Tuk!"

Han Xu's arrow hit the arm guard of this Bashiku, the cold tip of the arrow passed through the iron arm guard, but it failed to go further, the tip of the arrow pierced the skin, and a few drops of blood slipped down the arm guard.

Beside Han Xu, he also heard a muffled sound of "poof", and then heard He Qinglei snort, Han Xu looked over with the corner of his eye, He Qinglei was hit by an arrow in his right chest, the arrow pierced very deeply, and the blood flowed down, and soon half of He Qinglei's body was soaked.

This is an arrow from Nabashiku, and the hasty counterattack is steady, accurate, and ruthless.

"I'll hold down Nabashiku, and you shoot the rest of the red armor."

Han Xu shot another arrow at Nabashiku, and this time the other party had to dodge behind the mount, and the arrow shot at the mountain rock on the side of the road, and a long burst of fire came out.

Hearing Han Xu's words, Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong immediately turned to shoot another red armor, and the He family brothers were the same, this is the benefit of a condescending ambush, the Houjin soldiers below were disrupted in formation, and they could not coordinate the command, and the location was also poor, although He Qinglei was injured, he insisted on continuing to open the bow, but his movements were slightly affected.

In the sneak attack of Shicai, Han Xu shot four followers and two black flag soldiers, and another red armor was seriously injured, and then sealed Bashiku, as long as the partners around him shot the other red armor soldier and the black flag soldier, the overall situation was decided.

Han Xu controlled the frequency of his arrows, he knew that the number of arrows in the sack was not much, as long as Nabashiku dared to take the head, he would shoot an arrow over, and after a few rounds of shooting, Nabashiku's horse also died, but before the horse was shot to death, this person tried to go to the side of the roadside ditch, and after the horse died, he still blocked most of this Bashiku's body.

Being suppressed by Han Xu like this, that Bashiku had to be thrown with a heavy arrow at the bottom of the ditch, and there was no way to aim carefully, and most of the more powerful heavy arrows were shot into the air, and there was no real danger.

At the same time as Han Xu and Bashiku were shooting, another red armor and two black flag soldiers were also suppressed, their war horses were shot to death, the red armor soldier's mount overturned, and suddenly lost the barrier, most of his body was exposed, this red armor soldier was very brave, roared in place, and fired back again and again with a foot bow, and he was hit by several arrows one after another, each arrow penetrated through the armor, but the iron armor was solid, offsetting most of the damage of the bow and arrows, and after more than ten arrows in a row, this red armor slowly knelt down, and finally fell to the ground.

"Qinglei has been hit by an arrow again."

He Qingyun let out a mournful cry, just when he was shooting, the other two black flag soldiers were also shooting arrows, their quasi-heads were general, and the arrows kept passing around everyone, but the threat was not great, the arrow on He Qinglei's body should be the arrow shot by the red armor soldier of Shicai.

Han Xu turned his head and glanced at it, his heart sank, but He Qinglei's arrow was in the abdomen, and it looked very deep into the flesh.

This is the disadvantage of not having a stomach, the red armor soldier was hit by more than ten arrows before he fell to the ground, He Qinglei only had a robe on his body, no armor and stomach protection, and he was seriously injured after two arrows.

"Brother Han, rush ahead, our arrows are almost gone."

At this time, there were only three of the Houjin soldiers left who had combat effectiveness, one Bashiku, two black flag soldiers, Bashiku was hit by Han Xu's arrow, but he was slightly injured, and the two black flag soldiers were very cunning, and they hid in the deep ditch on the side of the road early, and now they are just throwing and have no accuracy.

"Rush!"

There are not many arrows on Han Xu's body, the mutual shooting between the two sides is very intense, they are all as rapid as possible, not only the arrows are shooting quickly, everyone's arms are also starting to ache, Han Xu motioned to Gao Xiaosan to bring the war horse, and several arrows in a row with force, and roared: "Everyone get on the horse and rush down!" ”

This is a mountain road, Han Xu and others are ambushed on the slope of the north of the road, the shrubs grow very high, covering their figures, the war horse is hidden not far behind, after everyone turns over and gets on the horse, Han Xu takes the lead and rushes down the hillside.

This place is very close to the control area of Houjin, and the Ming army will not have a ranger to penetrate deep at all, if it is not a quick battle, Han Xu is worried that other Houjin sentinel cavalry will arrive, and then it will definitely die.

After the Ming army charged, several Houjin soldiers also quickly gathered together, they still had a few horses that were not shot, running not far away, when Han Xu and others charged, these people also ran quickly towards their war horses.

No one is stupid enough to want to escape, and if you flee on foot under the pursuit of the flying horse, you will be chased and killed by the cavalry effortlessly.

The Ming army is dominated by infantry, although the Houjin dismounts and fights on foot, but almost everyone has a horse, every time there is a big battle, the Ming army dies tens of thousands of people, even if the Eight Banners are frustrated and beheaded, the infantry is inherently inferior to the cavalry.

At this time, the situation was reversed, the Ming army rode and charged, but the Houjin soldiers were horseless, fortunately, their horses were not far apart, and after the Ming army rushed down the hillside, the Houjin soldiers also turned over and raised their weapons.

The narrow road only allowed three or four horses to ride together, Han Xu and the others were divided into two teams, Han Xu and Gao Xiaosan were in front, He Qinglei was seriously injured and did not rush down with everyone, He Qingyun and Yang Guoyong were behind, and the speed of the four horses was adjusted to the fastest after going downhill, and they rushed forward.

"Kill!"

When he was less than fifty steps away from the opponent, Han Xu clamped the horse's belly between his legs and raised his speed to the fastest, with a flat-ended iron spear in both hands, and there was nothing else in his eyes except for the opponent in front of him!

"Bang!"

The iron spear in his hand, like lightning, was in the middle of the chest of a black flag soldier who rode a horse to meet the enemy, and the spear of the black flag soldier swept past Han Xu's cheek, but did not stab, when he was stabbed by Han Xu, the black flag soldier's entire chest was sunken, blood spurted wildly in his mouth, blood flowed from his eyes and nose, and the whole person was also upside down and dismounted.

At the same time as feeling the other party stabbed, Han Xu felt a strong attack between his wrists, and felt a huge shock in his hands, because he held it too tightly, the spear did not take off his hands, but the tiger's mouths in both hands were already dripping with blood.
