Chapter 292: Peerless Cavalry Shooting
The speed of Youzhou light cavalry is getting faster and faster, and the rapid sound of horse hooves gradually forms a huge roar from both ends of the battlefield, and the surging cavalry army roars like a flood that bursts the embankment, roaring, indomitable, majestic, and the entire battlefield trembles with the violent shaking of the ground.
In the face of a strong enemy, the Jizhou army was not to be outdone. The sound of long trumpets, the sound of rousing war drums, and the sound of orders from time to time were intertwined, re-energizing the morale of the soldiers.
As the truth became more widely known, panic quickly waned and was replaced by anger, as the so-called anger turned into anger!
"Buzz!" The moment the anger was vented, the heavens and the earth seemed to be vibrating, and there was a loud buzzing sound, and the Jizhou army was like a group of giant hornets that had been destroyed by someone who had destroyed the hive, roaring angrily and showing its edge to the enemy.
In the previous confrontation, 麹yi jīng accurately controlled the rhythm, a team of soldiers kept rotating, and the suppression of the bow and crossbow was like a wave when the cháo was rising, wave after wave, endless, endless.
And at this moment, as if annoyed and angry, the Jizhou army broke out with all its might, and this round of offensive was far more fierce than before, as if it was the most violent storm!
The moment the arrow cloud covered the sky, like Mount Tai pressing the top, the moment it rose to the highest point, even the light of the armor on the golden armored cavalry was dimmed.
"Kill! Kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind! Chun Yuqiong on the high platform hissed and roared, and his face was hideous
The aftermath of the last poisoning was not over, and he was almost tricked again. Inexplicably, he was a little glad in his heart, fortunately he was not the main general this time. Otherwise, he won't be able to fall for the trick this time. The last oolong was quite excusable. If you are tricked again this time, then you won't want to raise your head again in this life. Always a laughing stock.
He stared at the enemy formation, as if through time and space, he saw what was going to happen in the next moment.
With such a dense rain of arrows, even if the target is a cavalry in a loose queue and moving at high speed, it can still reap considerable results!
In the next moment, the magnificence will be reduced to nothing, replaced by bright red flowers, making the bluffer's blood flow!
Chun Yuqiong gritted her teeth fiercely.
That's right. Youzhou people are just bluffing!
Just look at their formation, if they really want to rush into formation, how can they not line up in a dense formation? Think about it, what is the use of paper armor with a false appearance in addition to scaring people? In the face of this kind of enemy, the best way is to teach them a bloody lesson, so that they no longer dare to look down on others.
It seems that he heard Chun Yuqiong's heart, and tried to confirm it. At the same time that the arrow rain fell, the Youzhou army had already completed the change of formation. The dense fish-scale array expanded in all directions and spread out, and the formation suddenly expanded several times. The queue has become much thinner.
However, because the armor on their bodies is too bright, it is too dazzling. The adjusted formation is not loose at all.
Just as they adjusted their formation. The rain of arrows fell, along with the horses' hooves. The dust and smoke in the sky were stirred up, and the brilliant golden light was completely obscured, and only the morning sun in the sky was as brilliant as ever.
"Good!" Like most soldiers, Chun Yuqiong clenched his fists hard and applauded loudly, cheering wave after wave.
"I made a fool of myself, and in the end I only ended up doing it myself, alas, pitiful!" Feng Ji and the judge stroked the three locks of long beard, looked at the rising dust and smoke, and sighed with mockery.
The Youzhou army can be regarded as lifting a stone and shooting itself in the foot this time, if they really want to charge into battle, with the speed of light horses, they can easily leave behind this round of powerful long-range attacks. But they wanted to pretend to be ghosts, and the horses ran fast, but they did not rush forward, but spread out the formation horizontally.
As a result, they endured the rain of arrows.
The advantage of covering shè strikes is that no matter whether you are dealing with a moving target or a stationary target, as long as you are covered in it, you can only be beaten obediently!
The Youzhou cavalry was the key hand that could have decided the victory, but Wang Yu blindly used strangeness, and in the end, he finally encountered a tiger in the mountains and came to self-destruct the Great Wall. Under the rain of arrows that broke out in full force of the Jizhou Army, the Youzhou Army is likely to have lost its combat effectiveness.
"It's a little wrong......" On the high platform, only Lu Yi was still frowning.
"What's wrong?" Feng Ji's smile stiffened slightly.
"The formation of the Youzhou military mutiny should be used to gallop." Lu Yi's answer was a bit unreasonable, but fortunately, when Feng Ji followed King Yuan Shaoqin, he had witnessed the power of Bai Ma Yicong in the Tiger Prison Pass, so he understood.
Feng Ji narrowed his eyes and watched intently at the enemy formation. A moment ago, he was overjoyed at the sight of the dust, but now, he only wished that the damn dust and smoke would fall down quickly, so that he could see what was really going on in the dust.
When Rì was at the Tiger Prison Pass, facing the Xiliang Army, whose establishment had been disrupted, Bai Ma Yicong put on a similar formation, and the effect was much better than directly charging into the formation. Feng Ji will not forget how the Xiliang army of Dang Rì evolved from a rainbow to a mess, and finally poured out.
If you can't fight the enemy, but you are constantly injured, no matter what kind of jīng Rui, it is impossible to endure this treatment for a long time. The power of riding shè is how it can be fully exerted.
However, time has passed, and their own troops are different from the original Xiliang Army, the formation of the Xiliang Army is chaotic, and all the archers are left behind, so they can't fight back, and their own ......
Thinking of this, Feng Ji was suddenly shocked in his heart, and lost his voice: "Is it difficult to ......"
"Possibly!" The god of koji nodded solemnly, and raised his voice to shout: "Pass my order, cloth shield array!" ”
As soon as Lu Yi's order came out, all the generals on the high platform were stunned, but the heralds were all Lu Yi's henchmen, and they conveyed the order without hesitation.
The order was conveyed quickly and in a timely manner, but the executor was not so decisive. There are about half of the recruits in the army, even those veterans, who have no subordinate relationship with Koji before, and of course they have no problem carrying out ordinary orders, but they feel hesitant to give orders that are contrary to common sense and seem very abrupt.
Obviously, his side has the upper hand, so why give up the advantage and turn to the defensive? It's easy to set up a shield array. But after the shield array is laid down, it will be difficult to launch a smooth wheel shè.
The army's sluggish reaction annoyed him. He shouted for the heralds, who rarely saw such a look from their commander. Knowing that the situation was serious, he desperately waved the flag and conveyed the order over and over again, but with little success.
In fact, apart from the initial command, he and his companions were doing futile work.
At the same time as Koji gave the order, the smoke and dust on the opposite side began to surge, as if time had been reversed. Patches of brilliant golden light once again shone through the smoke and dust!
The knight led by "Youzhou Tiger Ben ......" raised his front finger and shouted wildly, with a hint of trembling in the final note.
Once upon a time, he was also fighting like this, and the righteousness around him was like clouds, vertical and horizontal, invincible, and the entire oriental grassland would tremble. Whether it is Karasuma, Goguryeo, or Xianbei people. Those uncivilized herdsmen only had to beg for mercy in front of the Youzhou Iron Horse.
The battle horn in the past was still loud, but the people who followed behind him were all gone, and Gongsun Chan had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Life and death go hand in hand...... The sky can be learned...... White horse as proof! "Vaguely. It was as if there were countless heroic souls who had died in the air shouting and cheering accordingly.
"Unparalleled in the world!" The completely different battle horns corresponded violently, but the battle spirit that soared into the sky was the same, like the east wind rising. It looks like a silver bottle is broken, and five thousand light riders. Unstoppable, surging forward like mercury......
Golden light!
Dazzling golden light!
This moment. The only thing that dominates the battlefield is the glittering golden light!
filled the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies; It shook their hearts, made them unable to think, unable to move.
Panic swept over again!
"How is that possible? They didn't lose many people! "This time, it was not only the recruits who were panicking, but the experienced veterans could judge the number of cavalry through various details, and they were shocked to find that the cavalry that launched the charge did not have to be less than just now!
"Is the Golden Armor real?"
"Really, right? It's not true, how can it withstand an offensive like that just now? ”
The covering attack carried out by tens of thousands of strong bows and crossbows can cause much damage, and the veterans know in their hearts. At a distance of about 100 paces, the only ones who could retreat under such an offensive were those lucky ones and heavily armored infantry cavalry!
Of course, it is impossible for 5,000 people to be lucky, so the only reasonable explanation is that the armor on the enemy's body is real!
But...... Thousands of people and horses in full gear, is this kind of thing possible?
In addition to the panic, there was another layer of heavy doubts, and the soldiers of Jizhou could no longer see the hurried shaking of the general flag in the rear, and could no longer hear the continuous sound of horns and the sound of passionate war drums, but just stared at the golden light in front of them, as if they were in a dream that they couldn't wake up......
Nightmare!
What woke them up was a terrible howling.
After entering the distance of eighty paces, the Youzhou light cavalry launched a rush!
The howling of the arrows tearing through the air was terrible and piercing, and the trajectory of their flight was not as great as the arc of the arrows from the bow shè, but flew parallel into the air, and with the wild gallop of the war horse, they flew into the enemy line at an unthinkable speed, from the gap in the shield, and flew into the enemy formation, bringing up a puff of blood and screams.
The shè and power of riding a bow are not as good as that of a foot bow, but fortunately, the frequency of shè strikes makes up for this shortcoming, and within the effective shè of riding a bow, a foot bow can send one arrow, and a well-trained riding archer can even send two arrows, or even three arrows!
Therefore, the arrow rain of Youzhou light cavalry did not have the same huge momentum as the Jizhou army, but the coherence of the offensive was still above the wheel shè of the Jizhou army.
After entering the shè process, the light cavalry did not rush directly into the enemy formation, but divided into dozens of hundreds, crisscrossing and galloping diagonally in front of the two armies. While running wildly, he kept sending arrows into the opposite array.
It seems that a long time has passed, but in fact, it is only a blink of an eye, and hundreds of people have fallen in the front row of the Jizhou Army!
In the battle of tens of thousands of troops, this is insignificant. However, if you strictly compare it, no matter who you are, you will be surprised, even if it was the previous rounds of powerful confrontations, the Jizhou army did not lose so many people.
Now, just a moment of exposure has produced several times as many victims as before.
"Fight back! Fight back! Lu Yi looked at the fallen soldiers in pieces, his eyes cracked, and his heart was like a knife.
The Youzhou cavalry emitting golden light was like a group of bloodthirsty beasts, letting out a heart-rending roar, and pounced with teeth and claws. In front of this group of fierce beasts, the Jizhou soldiers who were alive and well ago were like fallen leaves in the wind. It is like a splash of water, which is wantonly devoured by the enemy. Weak and helpless.
They forget that the shield in their hands can protect themselves;
They likewise forgot that the bow and crossbow in their hands could kill the enemy;
He just stood there until he was pierced by an enemy's arrow. or trembling at the screams of their companions;
They were stunned.
It's not that no one listens to Koji's orders, there are always some who are bold and calm, and besides, some of Koyi's personal guards are also supervising the battle in front of the battle, these people are all ruthless and will not be easily intimidated.
or Qi shè, or sporadic shè attacks, while the Youzhou cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, wantonly slaughtering. The counterattack of the Jizhou army has also been going on.
However, few successes were achieved.
It is inherently difficult to hit targets moving at high speeds. It was easy to hit, but the enemy could not fall off the horse, and this situation aggravated the powerlessness of the Jizhou soldiers.
The proud Jīng Liang equipment has been completely compared to the enemy, and if the enemy's cavalry cannot be restrained, what is the point of the numerical superiority?
As if deliberately showing off, the gold-armored cavalry had no intention of charging into battle at all, but just ran past the front of the formation like a gust of wind against the counterattack of the Jizhou army. Send a rain of arrows into the formation accurately, and then run away.
Immediately after, another group of cavalry followed, repeating what the forerunners had done. It's as if they've gone back in time, with the only difference being that they're running in opposite directions.
Bands of cavalry went back and forth;
Patches of golden light come and go;
Only the deadly rain of arrows remains the same. took away one fresh life after another, destroying the morale of the soldiers in Jizhou. Ravage again!
"Gotta ...... Get...... ......" Chun Yuqiong's raised fist had not yet been lowered, but the expression on his face had completely changed. The teeth also began to fight, and the crisp sound and the horse's hooves maintained the same rhythm, as if they were playing music with each other.
"Golden armor! It's really golden armor! ”
Finally regained his language ability, and he directly let out a miserable howl: "I can't win the fight, withdraw it!" While the enemy is still showing off and has not yet begun to charge, hurry up! 5,000 mounted iron horses, waiting for them to charge, they can't run if they want to! ”
Although these words were very frustrating, Chun Yuqiong's wail still aroused a lot of resonance, including Feng Ji, everyone echoed one after another, hoping that Lu Yi would seize the opportunity and quickly withdraw with everyone.
Five thousand mounted iron horses and five thousand light horsemen are completely two concepts, although I don't know how Wang Yu did it, but now that the situation is so critical, where is there room to explore the truth?
"Mounted Iron Rider?"
Lu Yi sneered, his face was full of disdain, he raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and shouted: "It's all clear to Lao Tzu, how fast the horse is running!" Not to mention gold and heavy armor, even if it is iron armor, it must weigh fifty or sixty catties, but if you look at the speed of that horse, can the heavy cavalry run at this speed and have such stamina? ”
"......" Lu Yi's tone was very polite, but no one cared about it at the moment, first, he was used to it, and more importantly, Lu Yi's words were bloody for a while, and he pointed out the problems that everyone didn't pay attention to.
Isn't it, how could a hoplite run so fast?
At first, everyone thought badly, thinking that the enemy army was showing off, but just to show off, they didn't care about the horsepower, this kind of bastard thing was not at all like Wang Pengju's cunning person did it.
"But...... If it's not heavy armor, what will it be? After fighting for so long, I didn't see a few of them fall off the horse. "Feng Ji is not a timid person, he has just seen the power of the white horse righteousness, and he has some knots. After getting the hint of Lu Yi and observing for a while, he also agreed with the other party's statement, but only the doubts were solved, but new doubts were born.
Even if the light cavalry is covered with gold leaf and gemstones, it will not affect the morale of the army, and maybe it will also boost the morale of the soldiers and make them more brave in battle! Whether it's gold leaf or gemstones, it's a lot of loot!
Now the problem is that the enemy's armor really blocked the arrow! Neither a crossbow nor a bow can make the enemy fall off his horse, and the key is obviously the golden armor on the enemy's body!
Lu Yi frowned and did not speak.
With all his knowledge of traveling from north to south, he had never heard of such a strange thing, which was light and strong enough, and made very quickly...... As long as this kind of armor that can be called an artifact appears, it must have shocked the world a long time ago.
"Perhaps...... It's really made of paper, right? The judge said suddenly.
"......" Everyone was surprised, and no one refuted, but everyone turned their questioning eyes to the trial, waiting for his next step.
"Have you noticed? Although the golden armor can block arrows, it is different from the iron armor, and the arrows that shè goes up are hung on the armor......"
I have to say that the observation of the trial is really good, everyone else is patronized and surprised or looking for a way out, and no one really observes the enemy's golden armor. Take a closer look, isn't it the same as what the trial said?
At this moment, there are a lot of discordant things on the gorgeous golden armor, especially those cavalry who have been rushing to the front row, and there are no less than dozens of arrows on their horses and bodies, trembling with the gallop of the war horses, like porcupines running wildly.
The enemy was still alive, and the arrow obviously didn't hit the enemy's body, but the arrow was hanging on it, and it was obvious that there was something strange about the armor. It is not unreasonable to say that it is paper. If it's a thick stack of paper, isn't that exactly the effect of the arrow?
As for the golden light...... Whether it's gold silk or special paper, it should be able to form a similar effect.
The only question is, how can paper really be made into armor and still block the shè blow of a bow and crossbow?
This doesn't make sense!
The more important question is, put aside this issue and think that paper armor can indeed block arrows, so how to deal with the enemy now? (To be continued.) )
