The reaction of the Zhang family light cavalry greatly surprised Xu Zhen, he originally thought that the two sides would be in a mess after he rushed over, after all, as the elite of the elite, the Zhang family light cavalry should have their own pride, but now he knows that people have no intention of fighting hard at all, but they want to shoot them with strong long-range bows and arrows.

The reason why the Zhangjia light cavalry is the elite of the elite is not only because of the strictness of the selection, which is not wanted by non-elite people. And then there's the fact that they're well-equipped.

As light cavalry, they naturally have their own advantages, such as equestrianism and horse bows. The speed of a healthy horse combined with a long-range bow to threaten and shoot you is the advantage of the light cavalry.

can become the leader of the light cavalry, needless to say, the ability of the Zhang family's light cavalry will only be stronger. It seems that their war horses are all carefully selected, and the armor on their bodies is also after thousands of tempers, which greatly reduces the weight, so that the weight of the war horses is reduced to the lowest position, which makes them lighter and faster than other cavalry. There is also the equipment of the longbow, and even the arrows are much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows.

All kinds of advantages are combined, so that the Zhangjia light cavalry has naturally become the elite of the elite. Let's put it this way, any light cavalry can take out the equipment of any light cavalry and exchange it for silver money to equip eight or ten light cavalry of other armies. Coupled with the strong quality of personnel, the Zhangjia light cavalry is naturally the elite of the cavalry.

With so many advantages, how could Zhang Dao choose to fight hard with Xu Zhi? This is clearly tantamount to giving up one's own strengths and fighting with others.

Zhang Dao wouldn't be so stupid, he had already thought about using his long-range bow and arrow ability to cause trouble to Xu Zhen, and then slowly encroached on the opponent's strength.

Zhang Dao's countermeasures were obviously correct, and this way of playing also caused an extremely headache to Xu Zhen, under the attack of waves of arrows, the number of cavalry around him was getting smaller and smaller, and in just half a pillar of incense pursuit time, he lost four or five thousand people.

This number can already be compared with the number of 5,000 cavalry led by Zhang Dao.

"Chase, chase me desperately, and we will also release arrows." After Xu Zhen found that the number of casualties of his army had increased significantly, he shouted angrily, and then accelerated the speed of his war horse, he now just thought of rushing to the side of the Zhang family's light cavalry and cutting these people down one by one at his feet.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Not to mention that the bows and arrows of the Zhang family light cavalry are so dense, the faster they rush, the greater the losses, just the cavalry of the Wei army, their bows and arrows can't touch each other at all, although many bows and arrows are shot out, but they all fall to the ground, and even the enemy's horse shadow can't be shot, let alone panic to shoot people.

Under the grievance, Xu Zhen felt that he was about to vomit blood, and he also had the idea of not chasing. But just as he was thinking about whether to stop and return, the Zhang family light cavalry on the opposite side suddenly stopped shooting and began to retreat quickly.

"What's going on?" Suddenly, the former opponent gave up shooting with a bow and arrow, and this scene made Xu Zhen feel unprepared.

Fortunately, a captain beside him reminded him in time, "General, it should be that the opponent's bow and arrow have been shot." ”

"Huh? Yes. Hearing this, Xu Zhen actually patted his thigh appreciatively, and then laughed.

As an archer, no matter how strong his bow shooting ability is and how fast the horse is, one thing is basically the same, that is, the number of bows and arrows he carries will not be very large, otherwise, it will greatly affect the running speed of the horse.

And the Zhang family light cavalry, which originally had the advantage, suddenly gave up the bow and left, presumably there should be no bows and arrows available. Thinking of this, how could Xu Zhen not laugh, he also knew that this was his own opportunity, and now without the interference and threat of bows and arrows, he could finally pursue the Zhang family light cavalry with confidence.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but speed up with the cavalry behind him, but what made him depressed was that after chasing for more than ten miles, where could he still see the figure of the Zhang family's light cavalry, as if it had suddenly disappeared in front of him, and then he thought, how could he catch up with others with the foot strength of his cavalry?

Thinking that there was no trace of the enemy, he had to turn around and go back depressedly, but just as the army was about to turn around, the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground came from afar.

This voice also made Xu Zhen's expression become nervous, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers below to line up and prepare to face the enemy, and at the same time, he also took out the steel knife on his body, ready to fight when he found the enemy rushing up.

The sound became louder and louder, and it didn't take long for a while, and the figure of the Zhang family's light cavalry wearing black armor really appeared on the official road in front of him.

"It's the enemy, charge." After seeing the Zhang family's light cavalry again, Xu Zhen did not hesitate at all, and took the lead in riding up with a steel knife in his hand, followed by the cavalry behind him.

Xu Zhen moved, the Zhang family light cavalry on the opposite side did not have the slightest intention of stopping, but rushed straight to the ground, when the distance between the two sides was five hundred meters, they picked up the bow and arrow in their hands one by one, and then the sound of sighing was endless, and one arrow after another came out of thin air.

"Not good." Seeing that the other party actually released the bow and arrow again, Xu Zhen knew that this wave of Zhangjia light cavalry was not the one he had encountered before, and thinking that the other party had a bow and arrow on his body, he would definitely suffer, which naturally slowed down the speed.

It was also a shame that Xu Zhi slowed down, just when he was about to stop, several bows and arrows shot towards the place where he was, out of instinct, he kept waving the steel knife in his hand, just a breath, he blocked three arrows, but one was shot on the ribs, and a heart-piercing pain hit instantly.

Xu Zhen was wounded, not to mention the other Wei cavalry, in the face of the sudden appearance of the Zhang family light cavalry, in the face of the arrows they shot, there were many soldiers who didn't even have time to wield their weapons, they were shot off their horses one by one, and fell from their horses.

In just a short time, a large number of Wei cavalry were shot, causing a great deal of confusion.

And at this moment, the opponent's bow and arrow are still shooting like they have eyes, wave after wave, as if they can never stop.

Xu Zhen retreated straight back under the protection of several pro-soldiers, but even so, from time to time, there would be pro-soldiers who fell in front of him with arrows, and at this moment he had a clear feeling, that is, the archery skills of the Zhang family light cavalry encountered this time were indeed far superior to the archery skills of the Zhang family light cavalry before.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with Xu Zhi's feelings. Just now he encountered the Zhang family light cavalry led by Zhang Dao, and now he is facing the Zhang family light cavalry led by Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian, also known as Zhang Jian, is recognized as good in archery, and even Zhang Chao himself has praised him more than once.

Because Zhang Jian's bow and arrow skills, especially the ability to ride arrows on horses, are very strong, naturally the bow and arrow ability of the soldiers he brings is also particularly outstanding. Just like the soldiers led by General Zhang Dao, the knife skills are very good, and the soldiers led by General Zhang Gun are also very good in marksmanship.

That is, Zhang Jian appeared, and naturally the lethality of the bow and arrow was much greater than that of Zhang Dao, which is why the Wei cavalry was inflicted heavy losses as soon as it came up.

Xu Zhen believed in his intuition, the enemy in front of him was not the enemy he had encountered before, and the killing power of people's bows and arrows was even greater, and after seeing many cavalry being shot to the ground from a long distance, he knew that this battle could not be fought, you didn't even see the shadow of others, you might be killed, what else should I do?

Xu Zhen didn't know that this kind of pursuit battle, luring the enemy is the strength of the Zhang family's light cavalry, they can indeed rely on the speed of their outstanding cavalry and archery ability to carry out long-range strikes, and they can also be invincible forever, even if they can't fight, they can escape.

In such a terrain, it can be said that the Zhangjia light cavalry can exert their strength to ten percent, and in such an environment to fight, they are not afraid of anyone, that is, your troops are many, as long as you can't catch up with them, there is always nothing to do.

Knowing that if the fight continued, it would only increase casualties, so Xu Zhen finally gave the order for the whole army to retreat. For a while, the Wei cavalry, who had long been frightened by the bow and arrow ability of the Zhang family's light cavalry, began to turn around and flee, they didn't want to be a live target for a long time, but the main general has not given an order to himself, that is, now that the order has been issued, who will go stupidly to meet the enemy? Instead, they scrambled to flee backwards, as if they were afraid that if they were one step too late, they would become a living target for such a person.

More than 30,000 troops suddenly turned their horses' heads and ran backwards in unison, the chaos created by this naturally does not need to be said, at least it is far beyond Xu Qian's expectations, when he saw his soldiers running away, you hit me, I hit you, causing a lot of unnecessary sacrifices, he hated his eyes red, but there was really no way, who let the order be given by him? Who's to blame now?

The only thing he could do was that Xu Zhen also ran back with the army, in this battle, he saw the archery skills of the Zhang family's light cavalry, and he was really scared.

More than 30,000 troops tossed down, not to mention how many injuries he was injured by mistake, that is, Zhang Jian behind him came with troops and shot a lot, waiting for Xu Zhen to run away for a while, until the Zhang family light cavalry had no bow and arrow, he could be regarded as a real escape, but at this moment he looked at the soldiers and horses under his command, and found very sadly that there were not even 20,000.
