Chapter 871 Wind Shape Water Potential
"Accelerate, accelerate, stick to them, stick to them!" Li Tong's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted loudly with all the strength of his body.
He is familiar with military books and has been in battle for a long time, where does he not know that now his army has reached the edge of extreme danger? The opponent is also in danger, as long as the momentum on his side is fast and fierce enough, he can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop before the opponent completely completes the formation change.
But on the other hand, if it doesn't stick...... Li Tong's heart trembled like a tidal wave.
Cao Cao regarded Wang Yu as a great enemy in his life, and his study of the Qingzhou Army has never been relaxed.
He had never seen this scene in front of him, but he had a very familiar feeling, he thought about it and thought about it, and finally remembered a detail in the original battle on the plains, at that time, the light cavalry led by Zhao Yun used similar tactics to avoid the edge of the Hu cavalry vanguard led by Bei, surrounded it, and established the advantage of that battle?
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's unexpected move, which completely disrupted Yu Fuluo's thinking, no matter how strong the Qingzhou army was, it would be impossible to complete the total annihilation of 20,000 Hu cavalry.
Li Tong originally thought that Zhao Yun's plot would work, and he was completely using Hu Ren's stupidity, but now he had a very bad feeling that this world-famous wind cavalry was likely to have a power greater than his reputation.
Even without Li Tong's urging, the cavalry knew that at the critical moment, the cavalry in the front row no longer cared about the war horse, which had always been regarded as a partner in life and death, and kicked desperately with the spurs on his boots, kicking the belly of the war horse to blood. The man also stood up on horseback and leaned forward, just to be able to attack the enemy array even a breath earlier.
The war horse was about to go crazy because of the severe pain, and its speed was increased to the extreme, and the array that had been neat a moment ago exploded all of a sudden, like a swarm of enraged hornets, swarming forward and crashing forward.
The cavalry were all red-eyed, and the strength and momentum they had accumulated were also quite terrifying, but they were also facing a group of warriors, seeing that the enemy was speeding up and it was difficult to avoid, the first two rows of wind light cavalry spontaneously changed their military orders, turned their horses' heads, and collided with the same fearless attitude.
They turned a blind eye to the spear blades that had been handed to them, laughing and drawing their bows and arrows......
At first glance, it is united, and at first time, it is divided!
The tiger and leopard cavalry lined up in a phalanx, and even if the knight had been killed by an arrow, the horses would not stop, they were caught by their companions on both sides, and they could not turn at all, but could only slam straight forward. The array of tigers and leopards riding was so dense that it was as if the strength of the entire team had crashed into one of them.
The dozens of wind cavalry who collided with each other could not withstand such a huge force at all, and even the men and horses were knocked down, although they also suffered casualties from the enemy, but they could not stop the forward pressure of the enemy's array.
It was impossible for them to survive, and they were directly trampled into pulp by the war horses. But their sacrifice was not in vain, for they did not retreat, and distanced themselves from their comrades who were changing arrays.
Although they did not play the role of interception, it was only a very brief pause, but it was crucial for the whole situation.
"Wind shape water potential, turn!"
Qin Feng desperately opened his eyes wide, but he refused to look back at anything, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and shed tears.
It is the duty of the man to take fame immediately and die on the battlefield, but this kind of self-sacrifice without hesitation for the sake of the overall victory is still touching.
Of course, Qin Feng will not be a child at this juncture, and the best way to pay tribute to his brothers is not to let their sacrifices be in vain, and use the fighters exchanged for their sacrifices as an opportunity to win this battle.
As if the curtain was opened, and like the water rushing on the pillar rock in the center of the river, it naturally parted to both sides.
Riding like the wind, arrays like water!
No matter how hard the forward of the tiger and leopard cavalry tried, they couldn't catch the shadow of the other party, and could only watch the wind cavalry run in front of their eyes.
On the empty Heluo Plain, the more than 1,000 people fighting against each other were like wisps of green smoke, but the murderous aura contained in the green smoke made the sunlight in the sky cold. There were no flags waving like a forest, no cheering horn drums, and the sound of horses' hooves was the only melody in the wind.
"Bend the bow...... Stacked ...... Attack with all your might! Qin Feng raised his arms and roared, like a mad tiger.
The smoke and dust brought up by the horse's hooves rolled up, faster and faster, thicker and thicker, and suddenly, the trajectory of the smoke and dust turned around, and countless sharp arrows rose into the air.
"Kill!" The cavalry had tears in their eyes, but they were meticulous in their bows and arrows.
The sound of feathered arrows tearing through the air was terrible and piercing, intertwining and firing from the direction of the two wings, as if a large net designed to harvest life was opened out of thin air, directly enveloping the array of tigers and leopards riding in it.
Crossfire is the most effective way to attack from a distance, and even if you hold a shield, you can't stop the feathered arrows flying from both directions. What's more, the cavalry of the Tempest cavalry is not just shooting from two directions? They relied on close coordination, and while firing straight through, they also launched a covering projectile attack.
It was as if a gust of wind had blown through the wheat field, and the soldiers of the tiger and leopard rode were killed and wounded all over the area, and people kept falling off their horses, and some war horses kept neighing fiercely. Their array was too dense to have the absolute upper hand in a frontal charge, but they acted like a group of live targets when faced with mid-to-long-range cavalry kills.
"Where is the crossbowman, return fire, return fire!" At the moment when the striker's impact was avoided, Li Tong knew that today's battle was unwinnable, and he was now only thinking about how to bring more people back.
Compared with the archer cavalry, the crossbow cavalry requires a lower degree of training and is more lethal, making it a very targeted class.
Li Tong did not want the crossbow cavalry to turn defeat into victory, the crossbow was to dismount to load, in such a fierce battle, there could be no second chance to shoot, he just wanted the enemy to have some scruples, disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm, so as to take the opportunity to open the distance, so that there is a chance to regroup, or make a comeback, return to fight, or simply admit the planting, and retreat directly.
The crossbow-wielding cavalry was mostly arranged in front of the array, and at this time they didn't care much, desperately beating their horses and moving to the two wings, constantly colliding with their companions, and even people and horses fell into the dust, but the survivors didn't even jump their eyelids, just looked at the periphery intently, and found the space to shoot with an arrow with their hands.
The white feathers in the sky roared and pounced on the galloping light horse, the wind of death whistled in front and behind the war horse, someone landed in the gallop, and the ownerless war horse neighed and fled out of the battlefield. Most of the Tempest cavalry were still galloping, bending their bows and arrows as they galloped.
Most of the feathered arrows fired by the crossbow cavalry have lost their target, and hitting a fast-moving horse requires very good archery, not to mention that the archer is also a galloping horse.
Moreover, on the battlefield, the power of the bow and crossbow could only be reflected by salvo fire, although the crossbow cavalry was full of courage, but there was no way to form a salvo, at first glance it seemed huge, in fact, scattered shots were not at all powerful, like a handful of sand and gravel thrown into the rushing river, only stirred up a few inconspicuous small splashes.
"Wind!" Qin Feng and Wu Cai divided their troops into two ways, and they couldn't see each other at all, but they magically maintained the same frequency, and issued the order for a second round of salvos at the same time.
The nets of arrows were intertwined again, and a dead zone was circled in the array of tigers and leopards.
Li Tong's heart was dripping blood.
is not as good as those civil and military generals who came to vote, he is Cao Cao who led the crowd to take refuge. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is modeled after the Qingzhou Wind and Fire Cavalry, which has the nature of a guard, and is a deputy general in this army, which is higher than the status of the side that goes out to defend the party. His qualifications were originally insufficient, and he relied on handing over his original subordinates, which earned him today's status.
If this battle is only lost, he will still have the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his sins. But if the defeat is too bad, even if the lord is magnanimous, it is impossible to continue to entrust him with important tasks. It was ready before the war, and each army already had its master, and it was almost run-in, and he had no descendants, and he still wanted to squeeze out others, so could he have a Li Daitao?
Before the two armies came into contact and at the beginning of the collision, their respective losses were only thirty or fifty, but in the two rounds of blows in which the wind cavalry changed formation and launched a rushing fire, there were at least one or two hundred tigers and leopards who fell from their horses, but they were not even injured by the other party's fur, which was really miserable.
"Pass my command, go all out, don't look back!" Li Tong finally accepted his fate.
Since you can't beat it, then run, anyway, the horsepower on your side is superior, no matter how the enemy is against the sky, the two teams stagger and pass for such a little time, at most they can only shoot another round of salvos, and when the staggered passes, if you want to pursue, you have to turn the horse's head, and it will take a long time.
I can afford such a loss!
Li Tong gritted his teeth and looked at the enemy's right flank with an extremely fierce gaze, he knew that the enemy's main general was there, and he wanted to remember the appearance of the other party in order to take revenge in the future.
It didn't matter if he saw this, Li Tong was taken aback again, he saw the latest movement of the Swift Wind Cavalry, after two rounds of powerful volleys, they did not mean to continue their efforts, but turned their horses' heads again, and rushed diagonally towards the second half of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Array!
It can be said that the wind cavalry has taken the word 'clutch' to the extreme, and in such a gallop of change of direction, they can still get close to each other, form a dense wedge-shaped formation, and then abandon the bow and draw their swords, and cut off the array of the tiger and leopard rider in the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound!
The dense array of the Hawpanzer is good for frontal impact, but the protection on the flanks is quite limited. It's not that Li Tong's command level is too poor, but he commands a light cavalry, who has ever heard that the flanks of the cavalry will be outflanked and attacked from the side?
However, this unbelievable scene happened alive in front of him. The cavalry of the rear army was obviously caught off guard, and the spear in his hand was also difficult to use, and in the blink of an eye, he was cut down by the wind cavalry, looking powerless.
"Father, let's kill back, kill back!" Li Xu's crying voice came from his ears, Li Tong's hand slowly raised, as if there was a thousand catties of weight in his hand, and soon it fell down again, and when he spoke again, his voice was already hoarse and low, and he could hardly even hear himself.
"We're defeated, let's retreat." (To be continued,
