Chapter 353: War on Me
Sixteen thousand iron horsemen rushed towards the mouth of the valley, and the momentum was huge. Unfortunately, because the roads in the valley were narrow, it was difficult to launch a group charge, but it did not put any pressure on Xin'an's army. Besides, Mulberry Bear has an army of 40,000 on both sides of the valley, and is preparing bows and arrows, stones, wood, etc. to deal with Ji Qingchen, Mulberry Bear They wish that Ji Qingchen's army rushed to the mouth of the valley and was ambushed, how could they be afraid of the more than 10,000 cavalry in front of them?
However, this is not the case, when Ji Qingchen led 16,000 cavalry to rush towards Xin'an's army, and Xin'an's 30,000 saw the murderous Da Yan Iron Cavalry, like a demon god who came out of hell, they were shocked, they trembled, and they retreated.
When many soldiers saw Ji Qingchen's iron horse, they had the idea of escaping in their hearts.
Pap-
The sonorous sound of the horse's hooves on the hard ground struck them on their hearts and made their legs weak.
The distance between the two sides is very long, and the Lingnan infantry is still only afraid in their hearts. But when they were six hundred paces apart, they began to be physically afraid. Many people turned pale with fright, and some of them had trembling legs!
This is a psychological advantage, and it is also the reason for the shadow in the heart.
Six hundred steps –
Six hundred and thirty steps –
The mulberry bear on the side of the valley stared closely at the Dayan Iron Cavalry in the valley, watching this cavalry that made his 120,000 foot soldiers tremble and rushed into his encirclement, and was about to give an order, but as soon as the words fell, he was pushed away by a personal guard, "General, be careful!" Then he heard a "whoosh" and noticed an arrow grazing his ear.
"Bastard—" Mulberry Bear was about to get angry when he saw a shower of arrows appear in the sky and shoot at him and the soldiers around him.
"General be careful—protect the general——!" His guards shouted. Because the mulberry bear was shot by Ji Qingchen, they are now more cautious about the protection of the mulberry bear. After hearing this, the soldiers around the guards quickly brought the bear behind the shield. And at this moment, the sound of "knock-" and "bang-" was heard, and the shield was shot by dozens of feathered arrows, and the mulberry bear escaped his life.
"Quick-attack-quick-" Mulberry Bear suddenly came back to his senses under the shield and immediately gave the order. The guards beside him received the order, and they raised the order to attack. But just then, a frenzied rain of arrows came at them, crushing them to the sides of the valley and unable to move.
This rain of arrows was shot by Ji Xuanyuan's order!
He divided the six thousand men into three parts, two thousand archers against the left, two thousand archers against the right, and the remaining two thousand archers against Mulberry alone.
There was just a scene, thousands of bows and arrows shot at the mulberry bear in unison.
"Shoot—you can't stop for a moment—" Ji Xuanyuan ordered.
Because at this moment, the army led by Ji Qingchen had already rushed into the ambush circle of the mulberry bear, if he stopped shooting arrows and let the Lingnan soldiers on both sides shoot arrows and roll boulders into the valley, this would make Ji Qingchen's losses great.
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh——! Whoosh-" The feathered arrows were shot out, and one by one they were accurately set on the bodies of the Lingnan infantry, so that the Lingnan infantrymen could only bow their heads on both sides of the valley, and did not dare to make any other moves.
Qingfeng Cavalry is the elite of the Northern Liao elite cavalry, and when selecting them, archery is always the first place. Because even if the archery skills of each Qingfeng cavalry knight are not comparable to Ji Qingchen's marksmanship, but in the ordinary army, they also exist like archers, not to mention that now they are not riding and shooting, but aiming and shooting in place, and the archery skills are more accurate.
This is also the reason why 2,000 people can suppress 20,000 people!
Think about it, two thousand feather arrows were fired, and nearly a thousand companions were killed at once, do the Lingnan soldiers around the comrades who were shot dare to make any abnormal moves?
"Ahh
"Uhh
It was such a simple shot, and the screams continued, and it instantly drifted through the valley.
"You bunch of waste, what are you doing in a daze, shoot arrows, throw stones—" Sang Xiong was furious, and under the protection of his shield, he had already seen that Ji Qingchen's army in the valley was about to rush through his ambush circle to meet Xin An'an's army, so he roared loudly.
"Whoosh-" But as soon as his words fell, there was another rain of arrows, which frightened him to hide under the shield, and he was specially taken care of by Ji Xuanyuan's two thousand archers, and he could imagine the shocking scene when two thousand feather arrows shot at him.
"Ahh
"Shoot the arrows—shoot them—" The guards shouted and shot their bows and arrows, but because they were in danger, they were not accurate, and instead of hitting the enemies in the valley, they almost killed their own companions.
Suddenly, there was a shocking scene on both sides of the valley.
Thousands of feathered arrows were fired at both sides of the valley, and the soldiers hidden on both sides of the valley let out a terrible scream, one after another, and their screams were even more terrible than on the battlefield in the valley before the battle began.
When this voice reached the ears of Xin An and the 30,000 foot soldiers around him, the already loose defense of this foot soldier was even more precarious.
In addition, the scene that they had hoped that Ji Qingchen's army would be killed by a rain of arrows and would be stoned to death did not appear, which made them dare not think anything wrong in their hearts. There is only one thought left, that is, how to escape and how to save your life.
Xin An had already discovered the change in the soldier's mentality, but at this time, he had no good way, so he could only resign himself to fate. Who told the coach Sang Xiong not to do what he said at a critical moment, which affected the morale of the army? Therefore, at this time, he had nothing, and just when Ji Qingchen's army was about to rush in front of him, he gave the order to attack.
"Shield soldiers—"
Bands of shieldmen rushed to the front, their sturdy shields blocking a defensive formation.
"Archers prepare—" Xin An continued to order.
The six thousand archers stepped forward and began to bend their bows and arrows behind the shield soldiers, aiming at Ji Qingchen's army that rushed forward.
"The knives are ready to charge—"
The remaining 18,000 longsword soldiers drew their swords from their waists and stared closely at the growing enemy in front of them.
This method of intercepting the cavalry was also after the defeat of Sang Xiong and Xin An in the last battle, and they received the support of the "Iron Suit", and the letters conveyed by the "Iron Suit" were obtained from someone.
However, Ji Qingchen, who was riding a war horse in the distance, had already rushed to the range of the archers, saw this kind of battle against the cavalry, and he thought of when he left the country, he saw that when he was leaving the country, he used this formation to train the cavalry when he saw the cavalry training in the country.
All of a sudden, he thought of this sure departure from the country to help Sang Xiong, so he taught this way of battle to Sang Xiong. Because Dayan also has a special method of battle against cavalry, which is different from this way of battle and is more effective and lethal than this.
Suddenly, Ji Qingchen was furious, he didn't expect that the "iron suit" would leave the country and collude, the two sides had already gone so deep, so he raised his horse lance and shouted loudly, "Kill-"
Ignoring the rain of arrows shooting at him in front of him, he rode his horse and rushed towards the army of Mulberry Bear.
