The Anxi army held its ground on the shore of Yibo and waited for the Qarluq cavalry behind to come up. A large number of scouts crisscrossed in front of the two armies, and the leader of the Rat Nishi tribe sent people several times to ask for clarification, but they were all shot to death by the Anxi army scouts.

The large pastures behind are the foundation of the tribe, and the leader of the Rat Nishi tribe has no way to retreat, and his heart is extremely depressed. He didn't understand why the Heavenly Khan's army had come here and attacked his territory.

The scheming army arrived, and when they saw that the cavalry assembled by the Rat Nishi tribe was only three or four thousand, they could not help but be disappointed.

Such a force is less than the army of Tian Khan, and it is really not worth mentioning. Even the 5,000 cavalry under his command is enough to easily defeat the miscellaneous fish of the Rat Nishi tribe.

Seeing that the audience was already in place, Ma Lan smiled lightly and ordered the scouts to retreat, and then the cavalry of the two regiments slowly rode out of the army.

In Ma Lu's opinion, the six hundred cavalry of two regiments were enough to defeat this miscellaneous army, and no matter how much it was, it would not show the prestige of the new army of Anxi.

"Li Hui, Fonda ! Don't fall into our prestige! Ma Lan looked at the two lieutenants and said in a deep voice.

The two captains nodded in agreement at the same time, and then galloped towards the Rat Nisch cavalry in front of them.

There were only 600 of them, less than one-fifth of the strength of the Rat Nishi tribe, and they actually rushed directly at the Rat Nishi people.

The audience all let out a cry of amazement, the ratio of five to one, the army of the Heavenly Khan is looking down on the Nishi people!

"What!" Seeing the two small cavalry rushing over, the leader of the Rat Nishi tribe immediately became angry.

A few hundred cavalrymen dare to attack his cavalry, which is too underestimated!

For him, this is a naked insult!

His messenger had already departed, and soon more tribal warriors would arrive, but he could not wait that long.

"Kill! Give them a lesson! The leader of the Rat Nishi tribe shouted, and rushed out on horseback.

The Rat Nisch cavalry, who had been depressed for a long time, roared in unison, and all kinds of strange sounds came out of their mouths and rushed towards Li Hui and Fangda's cavalry.

The cavalry of both sides approached quickly, and soon they had rushed to within a mile. Almost at the same moment, Li Hui and Fang Da issued orders at the same time.

"Shoot!"

The six hundred cavalrymen of the two regiments are all equipped with Yuanrong crossbows, and the knights are well-trained, and the Yuanrong crossbows have long been in their hands. After hearing the command, Qi Qi moved the bracket.

"Woohoo!"

Arrows of steel rained down from the cavalry, turning into a terrifying storm of steel that swept across the clearing between the two armies, and landed like a torrent of rain on the crowd of Rat Nisch cavalry.

The Rat Nisch cavalry, who were charging at high speed, fell nearly half in an instant, and the crowd became sparse. Among the Qarluq cavalry watching the battle from afar. There was a burst of exclamations.

Previously, it was a salvo shooting mode, and the 600 yuan crossbow was fired at the same time, and 6,000 arrows were fired at the same time. The Yuanrong crossbow, the first weapon of the Anxi New Army, was revealed for the first time on the Broken Leaf River.

The grass was littered with corpses, and the surviving Rat Nisch cavalry reined in their horses in terror, not knowing what to do. Not all armies have the courage to fight to the last man, and it is impossible for the Western Turkic tribes to do this, not to mention that in a volley just now, even their big leader was hit by a few crossbow arrows and fell directly.

After the salvo is finished. Li Hui and Fang Da led their cavalry without pause, and rushed directly towards the dazed Rat Nisch. The precious Yuan Rong crossbow was loaded into a leather box and carried behind him, while each of them drew a pure steel short spear and held it in his hand and prepared it to fire.

Six hundred cavalry rushed to the front, but it was only a few breaths, and with the tremendous speed of the horses, six hundred pure steel short spears were thrown out by the knights, and the sharp spears easily tore through the worn leather armor, nailing the rats and Nisch people to each other.

Throws two short spears in a row. Half of the Rat Nishi cavalry fell, and only a thousand people remained alive. The Anxi athletes did not continue to throw short spears, and rushed forward in a neat formation, with a huge Mo knife in their hands that made people's hearts palpitate.

From the volley of the Yuan Rong crossbow to the picking up of the Mo knife. That's all you can do with a distance of 300 steps. At this time, some of the rat Nishi people finally reacted, and waved their weapons with red eyes to meet them.

Under the terrifying rain of arrows from Yuan Rong's crossbow, they lost their minds for a while, so that they lost the opportunity to use their bows and arrows against Anxi Jian'er. At this time, the two armies were connected, and the six hundred cavalry were still unscathed.

Before they could make contact, they lost most of their troops, and even the big leader died under the rain of arrows. Most of the rat Nishi people fell into a panic, and few dared to resist with their swords, and more of them screamed, and then they turned around and left their backs to the Anxi army, trying to escape from this terrible killing field.

The heavy Mo knife was originally a sharp weapon for infantry to deal with cavalry, but it was used as a weapon for cavalry by the Anxi New Army, and it can be said that every cavalry of the Anxi Army was gifted, otherwise it would be impossible to use this weapon on a horse. At the same time, the formation was maintained extremely tightly, and the Mo knife was swung out to cut the enemy off the horse, and the two or three hundred rat Nishi people who dared to resist were rushed by the army, and they were killed in an instant, and the rest of the rat Nishi people were all facing away from the Tang army, desperately running towards the front.

These people were all good hands on horseback, although they were extremely flustered, but the speed was extremely fast, and the cavalry of the Anxi army hung the Mo sword back on the saddle and shot a hundred and ten with bows and arrows, while the rest successfully fled into the distance.

Li Hui and Fang Da did not chase after them, and jumped off their horses with the athletes, so that they could recover the short spears and steel arrows from the corpses in a timely manner. Pressing the blood-stained steel arrow back onto the Yuan Rong crossbow, the short spear was inserted into the back again, and six hundred people galloped back and stood in front of Ma Ling.

"General! All 300 of our troops returned without any damage! Li Hui arched his hand towards Ma Lan and shouted in a deep voice.

"General, there is no damage to our department!" Fonda also said loudly.

Ma Lan smiled with satisfaction and nodded. He was also quite satisfied with the performance of these two young lieutenants.

It is not necessary to rely on the Yuanrong crossbow to easily defeat the enemy, accurately determine the distance on horseback, and grasp the timing of the Yuanrong crossbow to activate is the most basic and important requirement of the captains. Obviously, these two young lieutenants did a good job, and he could see clearly just now that all the steel arrows of the two cavalry fell into the crowd, and they were scattered relatively evenly, which caused this result.

Generally speaking, five or six crossbow arrows are enough to kill an enemy, but Li Hui and Fang Da grasped the timing extremely well, and actually sat down on three crossbow arrows to shoot an enemy.

Looking back at the shocked Qarlu people, Ma Lu smiled and said, "Ye Hu, such a good man, I have five thousand here." ”

With a look of envy, he said: "I don't lack good men, but what is lacking is a divine weapon." Ma Xiang, I am willing to pay ten good horses in exchange for one of those bows and crossbows! ”

Ma Ling smiled and said: "This bow and crossbow is unique to me in the Anxi army, and it will cost five hundred yuan to sell it to me, and you want to buy ten war horses?" Look at my good horses again, do you have such a horse leaf protection? ”

Mou Thorn Teng looked at the big food war horses of the gods under the Anxi army athletes, and sighed: "No matter how good these horses are, they can't compare to the divine soldiers of Ma Xiang, if not, these horses can't reach Ma Xiang's hands." These divine soldiers are only afraid that no matter how many war horses I have, the horses will not sell! ”

Ma Lan laughed and said, "You're smart! This thing is unique to my Anxi Army, and even the Northern Ya Forbidden Army is not equipped, how can it be sold to Ye Hu! However, this is not the only means of my Anxi New Army, since I have met Ye Hu today, I might as well let Ye Hu open his eyes! ”

After saying that, Ma Lan waved his hand, and there was a muffled sound in the middle army, and then dozens of huge arrows roared out and flew away into the distance.

"Shoot so far!" The spur stabbed his tongue aggressively.

Before he could finish speaking, dozens of huge arrows landed among the corpses of the Ratnisch.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" “……”

A thunderous sound rang out, and in the black smoke the corpses of the centaurs were thrown into the air, and then fell heavily.

The violent explosion startled the Qarluqs, and many of the horses neighed in fear. The assassin was shocked, and asked repeatedly: "General, what is this?" Can you attract thunder in the daytime? ”

"This is the Heavenly Thunder Arrow, and it is also unique to my Anxi army." Ma Lu made a fool of himself and said with a smile, "As soon as this thing comes out, the sky will fall apart, and the one in it will not be spared." The Rat Nisch died too quickly, otherwise you would have seen it for real. Ye Hu had better go and take a look, and then he would know that what a certain family said was true. ”

He beckoned a group of leaders to ride out of his horse, cautiously leaned over, and saw a large pit on the ground, many boulders were torn apart, and there were stumps of people and horses everywhere near the big pit, all of which were extremely frightened.

Ma Lu looked at the leader of the Qarlu tribe in the distance, and his heart was quite proud. This assault on the Rat Nishi tribe was just for the sake of Liwei. The current scene should make the Qarluq people understand the situation clearly.

What was shot out just now was not an ordinary pure steel crossbow arrow, but a new thing made by General Li Xiu in the past six months, the name is called Tianlei Arrow, and this time the Anxi New Army has just been equipped after returning to the division to catch and drink.

The new eight-bull crossbow can fire pure steel arrows weighing several catties, and after knowing that Ma Lan tied the fire thunder to the steel arrows in actual combat and launched them, Li Xiu figured out such a thing.

This kind of giant arrow tail is still made of stainless steel from the Ma family's workshop, but the middle part is changed to hardwood, and then tied with more than two catties of granulated black powder, and the weight is basically the same as the original standard crossbow arrow.

Unlike the fire thunder, which was wrapped in a thin and brittle iron shell, these black powders were wrapped in a thin cowhide, and there were no steel balls and iron nails to increase lethality, all in order to reduce weight. The gunpowder pack had a fuze of uniform size, which was lit and shot out with an eight-ox crossbow, and if more than two catties of black powder were thrown into the enemy's group, the explosion would be amazingly powerful.

This kind of gunpowder pack comes from Ma Lan's thinking, and the realization is still made by Master Li Xiu. Master Li Xiu is a person who strives for excellence, and this kind of heavenly thunder arrow has also been tried and tested by him, and the weight of gunpowder and the length of the lead are just right. With this kind of thing, with the ever-increasing number of new eight-bull crossbows, the Anxi New Army is naturally like a tiger. (To be continued.) )
