Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The shock lineup of the Turbulent cavalry was very strong. The horsemen were on their horses, bowing down together, almost pressed against the horse's back, and at the same time taking their bows and arrows from their saddles diagonally. After that, the bow was thrown, and the arrows fell from the sky.

Many of the cavalry can shoot a handful of arrows at the same time on the horse, just from the formation of this charge, Li Chongjiu can judge that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is definitely better than the Xi cavalry under his command, as well as the Khitan cavalry. In this way, Li Chongjiu added a little more to the idea of bringing this cavalry under his command.

Now Luo Yijun's long card is raised high, but the arrows are thrown into the straight falling formation, Luo Yi's infantry has just arrived, and it is too late to take the iron armor from the auxiliaries and put it on, so even if it is thrown, but the arrows fall from the sky, it can also be guessed that there are casualties in the opposing camp.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but secretly praise that this opportunity to suddenly choose to attack was just right. Just when the cavalry took out bones, maces, and long knives from the saddle one after another, and were ready to rush into battle, the long cards in the Sui army were suddenly put down. Li Chongjiu, who was watching the battle, secretly said that it was not good, after the original side cards. It was a dense crowd of crossbowmen armed with powerful crossbows.

The crossbowmen of the opposing side were draped in leather armor and held crossbows with two stone arms, divided into three rows. With the order of the opponent's general, the opponent's first column of crossbowmen raised their crossbows and took aim, then pulled the hanging knife, and fired a hundred arrows in unison. Crossbow bolts weave through the air, forming a steel battle array. The light cavalry, who had no protection, fell off their horses as if they had been brushed by an iron comb on the spot.

At this time, the first column of crossbowmen in the opposing formation retreated and loaded their arrows, while the second column of crossbowmen approached and shot in a half-crouch, and after the second column of crossbowmen had finished shooting, the third column of crossbowmen stepped forward. After the third column of crossbowmen finished shooting, the first column of crossbowmen was almost loaded with crossbow arrows.

Li Chongjiu heard that when he was in the Han Dynasty, he divided the crossbowmen into upper crossbows, entered the crossbows, and issued crossbows, and fired in turn, which was similar to the three-stage shooting of muskets. And in addition to the crossbow in Luo Yijun, there are also three-arrow crossbows, one crossbow and three arrows, and the arrows shot are like a storm. Under such a strong crossbow blow, the cavalry suddenly turned on their backs. Li Chongjiu also gasped when he saw this scene, Luo Yi's foot soldiers were well-equipped, even among the Sui army, they were second to none, and it seemed that his reputation for winning a hundred battles was not false at all.

Looking at the density of the opponent's crossbow arrows, there are at least 500 arm crossbows equipped by this thousand foot soldiers. And Li Chongjiu's Huaihuang, Yuyi, and Shanggu together are not enough for this number. Not to mention the three-arrow crossbow, Li Chongjiu's current workshop can't make it at all.

When Yang Su broke the Turks, more than 100,000 Sui troops were also so well-equipped with strong crossbows, and when the Turkic iron cavalry was attacked, ten thousand arrows were fired together, and then the cavalry broke the cavalry, so as to defeat the invincible Turkic iron cavalry in the Wuyuan grassland. Submit the unruly Turks. Now the Tatar people have repeated this scene, but the Tatar people are very tenacious, regardless of the continuous death of their companions under the arrows, they still rushed forward one after another, Li Chongjiu secretly shook his head, the light cavalry was not an offensive formation, it turned out that the opponent's foothold was not stable, and he could also impact it, but now the other party has such a strong crossbow pressure array, which is simply to let his subordinates die.

Li Chongjiu glanced at the sudden Diji, and saw that he had no intention of letting his subordinates retreat. At this time, the cavalry of the Sui army attacked the Sui army's formation over and over again, but each time it was the Sui army's iron crossbow that shot corpses all over the ground. The plains were littered with corpses, men and horses screamed in pain, soldiers who had fallen off their horses rolled in the mud, and warriors who had been hit by arrows struggled forward, roaring unyieldingly to the sky.

Eto saw that his eyes were split, and he said: "Khan, what is this sudden hell going on, it's just that his own son went to commit suicide!" ”

Li Chongjiu's mood and forehead are also average, although he is of a different race, but watching the heroic soldiers bloody on the battlefield, and it is still a meaningless sacrifice, who can bear this scene.

Li Chongjiu didn't speak, and Etuo rode straight to the ground. Li Chongjiu secretly said that it was not good, so he personally brought it and several guards hurriedly followed. Eto came to Tudiji and said, "Envoy, you are letting your sons die in vain, and you should quickly ask them to withdraw from the army." ”

Tu Di Ji glanced at Etuo proudly, and said: "You are just afraid of death, and we Ya people would rather die than retreat." If you talk nonsense, I'll kill you in front of the battle. ”

"Eto stand down." Li Chongjiu rode up from behind, came to Tudiji and shouted to Eto, "Do you still want you to teach you how to fight?" He still won't make amends to the envoy. ”

Eto didn't dare to disobey Li Chongjiu's order, and immediately retreated angrily.

The battle continued, and at the moment when the light cavalry was heavily damaged, Luo Yi's Youzhou Iron Cavalry was dispatched. They cut off the retreat of the Ya cavalry from behind, and the Youzhou Iron Cavalry wearing iron armor entered the formation of the Ya cavalry.

The men and horses were all dressed in iron armor, armed to the teeth of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and the Yan Ya cavalry did not flinch. The two sides launched a fierce confrontation in the plain, in addition to the mace, bones, knives and arrows of the cavalry had no threat to the iron armor at all, and smashed on the opponent's iron armor, just a white mark, and the opponent's horse lance casually stabbed a horse, that is, a cavalry was killed and fell off the horse.

On the field, the Indigo cavalry was thrown off their horses one after another, and the Youzhou Iron Cavalry rushed unscrupulously in the formation of the Indigo cavalry, and the Indigo cavalry tried their best, but it was useless in front of the Youzhou cavalry, and the opponent fought to the point that he did not break a horse. Li Chongjiu on the side looked secretly speechless, fortunately, it was not his own Xi cavalry who fought with the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, otherwise he would have been defeated a long time ago.

At this time, several generals came to Tudiji and persuaded with tears in their eyes: "Taishou, please withdraw all the sons and daughters to the riverbank!" These are the bravest warriors of our clan. ”

"If it's so simple to retreat, who of my eight thousand soldiers still wants to fight to the death, if Luo Yi takes advantage of the situation to cover up and cross the river, how can he resist at that time," suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Whoever dares to persuade again, I will hack him to death with a knife!" ”

Listening to each other's drinks, all the generals dare not speak.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu shook his head. On the side, a general came to Li Chongjiu's side and said pleadingly: "Khan, you are a guest, please persuade Taishou!" ”

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, saw that he suddenly looked at him coldly, and pressed the knife in his hand. This is a posture that if you don't agree with yourself, you will draw a sword.

Li Chongjiu shook his head, and at that moment, his legs were clamped and his horse suddenly galloped towards the river beach. Eto saw Li Chongjiu like this, and he didn't understand it on the shore. The war horse stepped over the mud on the river beach, and Li Chongjiu's body was jolting on the saddle, and his eyes looked straight at the plain on the opposite bank.
