Chapter 108: The First Encounter with the Kidnapping Horse
Yue Fei sneered a few times, picked up the Divine Arm Bow from the bag on the saddle on the left, took out the carved wolf tooth arrow from the quiver on the right, took a deep breath, straightened the swallowtail, put on the tiger tendon string, and pulled it hard.
"Snort", in the midst of a few muffled cracks, the Great Bow of the Divine Arm was pulled into the shape of a full moon.
Yue Fei shouted: "Hold."
"Wow", the sound of bowstrings sounded, and four hundred paces away, in the woods, a miserable scream of "oops" rang out, obviously someone had been hit by an arrow.
Yue Fei didn't stop, he fired six arrows in a row, and six screams rang out, one after another, and the screams kept coming.
The ambushers in front couldn't hold back any longer, shouted together, waved the long-handled big axe in their hands, rushed out of the woods, and rushed towards Yue Fei's brothers.
The Jurchen people live in the bitter cold of the northeast all the year round, and compared with the Han people, they are tall and strong, and they like to use thick weapons such as maces, axes, and knives.
When the brothers stared, there were about forty or fifty horsemen rushing towards them.
The armor worn by those people was completely different from that worn by the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty: most of the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty only had helmets and light armor for chest protection, while the war horses were only protected by simple leather armor.
And these cavalrymen in front of them, not only are the cavalrymen wearing heavy armor, but in addition to their faces, their whole bodies, hands and feet are tightly covered; Even the horses under the seat were equipped with heavy armor, from the head to the hips, all of which were protected by the armor, and only four horse legs were exposed.
The men rode in a row of three, and their horses marched at the same pace and at the same speed; With each step of the horse's hooves, the knights whispered a sentence in unison, in line with it. The sound of horses' hooves and chanting alternately and incessantly, like a simple march with a melody, the sound of the song is tragic and magnificent, and people can't help but boil their blood.
In the blink of an eye, these cavalrymen had already rushed more than a hundred paces away, less than three hundred steps away from Yue Fei and them.
"Up" Yue Fei shouted.
Yang Zaixing, Luo Yanqing, Niu Gao, Tang He, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui opened their bows and arrows together, and looked forward uprightly.
Shi Quan, Liang Xing and the other five people joined for a short time, and they were not familiar with the military order slogan set by Yue Fei, so they could only hold their weapons tightly next to them and wait eagerly.
"Target, bridge of the nose, put!"
Yue Fei gave an order, Yang Zaixing and others fired six arrows in unison, and shot the first row of cavalry under the horse.
The official road of the Great Song Dynasty was not spacious, only enough for six horses to move side by side. Yang Zaixing has six brothers, one for each person, and it is just assigned.
"Up."
"Put!"
Yue Fei gave the second order, and the six eagle wolf tooth arrows were shot out side by side again. Six more horsemen were shot off their horses.
Although the cavalry was shot off their horses, the armored horses they rode continued to move forward, and the cavalry behind them also rushed straight forward, even if they trampled on the bodies of their companions, they did not hesitate at all.
The bravery of the Jurchen people can be seen.
At this time, the cavalry in the front row was less than two hundred steps away from Yue Fei and the others, and the other party's facial features and eyebrows could be seen clearly, these people turned out to be the Jurchen scouts who had been scattered by Yue Fei's brothers in the chaotic grass hill before.
The princess was arrested, and if they didn't come to the rescue, it would be a dead end to return to the Kingdom of Jin. I can only fight to the death.
"Shi Quan, Zhou Qing, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Ji Qing, defend with long weapons in front, ready to sprint; Archers, up. Yue Fei gave instructions in a loud voice, in an orderly manner.
Shi Quan's five people hurriedly stepped forward, each holding their weapons tightly, ready to sprint at any time; And Yang Zaixing and the five of them pulled the bowstring again, waiting for Yue Fei's order.
Princess Dunuke could see clearly in the back, and she was already in tears, and shouted loudly in Jurchen words.
The remaining Jurchen scouts listened to the words of the princess, hesitated for a moment, stopped the horses together, bent down, and pulled out a cylindrical object from the left and right sides of the horse, and the soft leather cord connecting the horses was automatically released, and the Jurchen scouts turned their horses' heads and fled.
After all, his life is his own, and since he is returning to China on the order of the princess, he can make some mistakes, although he will definitely be punished, those Jurchen scouts are reluctant to give up their lives in vain.
Yue Fei was about to give the order to release the arrows, when he heard the voice of Princess Dunuke, although he couldn't understand it, but when he saw that those Jurchen scouts stopped, and then turned around and fled, he asked Yang Zaixing and them to take back the bow and arrows and sell their favors to Princess Dunuke.
"They are all members of my own tribe, Xie Lu thank you for letting them live." Princess Dunuke thanked Yue Fei repeatedly.
"Princess, what did you just say to your people?" Yang Zaixing asked curiously.
After all, the wedding has not been officially held, and under everyone's eyelids, Yang Zaixing is embarrassed to call Princess Dunuke a good wife.
"I asked them to go back to the customs to tell their father, so that he should not worry, I have already found a husband in the Great Song Dynasty. I'll go back to visit him in the future. After speaking, Princess Dunuke had tears in her eyes and pear blossoms on her face, and sobbed alone.
Yang Zaixing hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and then slowly coaxed the princess.
Although those Jurchen scouts had already left, the twelve horsemen in the front had a total of four rows of armored horses that no one could control, although the speed had slowed down, they did not stop, they still rushed straight forward, and they had already rushed to the distance of less than two zhang from Shi Quan.
When Zhao Yun and Ji Qing saw this, they turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to stop the horses.
Who knew that those armored horses were trained, and they ignored them, and ran straight over.
Zhao Yun and Ji Qing didn't expect these armor horses to be so powerful, they were caught off guard, and they were knocked to the ground all of a sudden.
Fortunately, the two of them were not weak, they exerted their strength violently, jumped up on the ground, and the whole person turned over and stuck to the horse.
This action has a famous name, called "kicking and hiding", and it is one of the basic kung fu of cavalry.
Don't look at Zhao Yun and Ji Qing's action so chic, if there is someone on Houma's back at this time, gently poke with a gun, the two of them have nowhere to borrow strength, they can only close their eyes and take a shot from others.
Niu Gao saw the urgency of the situation in the back and shouted: "Brothers, cover the horse's head." ”
After saying that, he jumped to the horse in the middle of the left row, took off his coat, blindfolded the horse, and slammed it, and the horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and then lowered the horse's hooves and stopped obediently.
When the horses on both sides saw that the head horse in the middle stopped, they also stopped; The back row saw that the front row did not move, and the conditioned reflex followed and stopped.
Seeing Niu Gao like this, Luo Yanqing also flew to the horse in the middle of the right row, drawing a scoop with a gourd, and also subdued the two rows of armored horses on the right.
Before, the brothers shot the scouts with arrows, and they couldn't feel the power of the kidnapping horse. Just now, the kidnapper horse approached, and he knocked both brothers to the ground at once.
This is only two rows of kidnapping horses, and they are still unmanned, relying only on the usual way of training.
If it was on a vast battlefield, tens of thousands of rows of abducted horses, riding powerful Jurchen warriors on them, what kind of might it be! What a powerful impact!
Thinking of this, Yue Fei was silent.
