Chapter 6 Between Offense and Defense
"Puff~"
A team of horses whose hooves were pierced by sharp horse rejection nails were annihilated by the ensuing arrows, and another team of Xianbei cavalry began a new round of impact with an expressionless face, this time, a Xianbei cavalry finally broke through the barrier of the horse rejection nails and the interception of the arrow rain, and even the people and horses slammed into the wooden wall fiercely, under the huge impact, the horse's head was directly shattered like a watermelon, and the Xianbei knight on the horse was also stabbed to death in an instant by the spear pierced in the gap in the wooden wall.
The area that is not wide is now full of corpses, people, horses, less than a stone's throw away, but at this moment there is already a bit of purgatory, at least more than two hundred Xianbei cavalry have died, and Li Xuan's side has still maintained zero casualties, but at this moment, Li Xuan and Zhao Min can not see the slightest relief on their faces.
Although the previous impact force failed to successfully destroy the wooden wall, Li Xuan, who was standing on the wooden wall, could clearly feel the impact force of the log under his feet at that moment.
To make matters worse, more and more corpses were almost covering the uneven ground of Taniguchi, and the effect of the Horse Rejection Nail was almost invisible, and the other party obviously wouldn't give them time to resurface.
Murong Xiong waved his arms expressionlessly, and another group of cavalry launched a death charge, the difference was that this time, they used the cavalry archery technique, and ten sharp arrows broke through the air, but the target was not Li Xuan and the three of them standing on the top of the wooden wall, but the archers who were completely blocked by the wooden wall behind the wooden wall.
"Humph!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, and the dragon slaying knife slashed an irregular arc in the air, and a sword gang broke through the air, accurately cutting off the ten sharp arrows that broke through the air. Looking at Murong Xiong from afar, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but the ten Xianbei cavalrymen all fell under the wooden wall this time, and immediately used their skills, no matter how skilled they were, in the case of distraction. The impact on itself will naturally have a certain impact, but this time, it did not cause any impact on the wooden wall.
Murong Xiong's tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Li Xuan on the wooden wall with some surprise, and immediately returned to indifference again, and another team of Xianbei cavalry was sent to the field, learning the previous lesson, but this time he did not use his riding and archery skills again in the middle of the way, but honestly crashed into the wooden wall.
"Click~click~" in two muffled sounds that are almost in no particular order. The logs that make up the wooden wall finally reached the limit in this huge impact force, and the whole inward side was recessed, although it was not completely washed away, but the wooden wall at this time could not withstand even the slightest impact, and it was useless.
"Kill!" Murong Xiong raised his weapon, and at this moment, Li Xuan was surprised to find that this Xianbei general's weapon was the same as his own. It's also a knife, the difference is. The other party's knife has a long pole, similar to Guan Yu's big knife, and the dragon slaying knife in Li Xuan's hand, although the shape is domineering, and the five-foot-long blade is far longer than the ordinary ring-head knife, but it still belongs to the category of a single knife. It is a short weapon.
However, since the sword can be unleashed, the length of the weapon is sometimes greatly reduced, even in horse combat.
Another team of ten men charged, but behind this team of ten, a team of 100 people followed closely from a distance of ten feet. The curved bows were drawn round like a full moon, ready to shoot.
Li Xuan sighed slightly, this wooden wall is completely useless at this moment, don't look at him in the Yitian world, using the Qiankun Great Movement to sweep thousands of troops, but here, even if the Qiankun Great Movement is still a top-notch transportation method, in the face of the rain of arrows shot by the high-level Xianbei knights who far surpass the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, it is already beyond the scope of power that Li Xuan can bear, and if he forcibly casts it, it is more likely to be the end of being pierced by random arrows.
"Shield!" Li Shan jumped down from the wooden wall, the person was in the air, he had already let out an angry roar, Li Xuan grabbed Zhao Min's boneless waist, and carried it lightly, his sleeves fluttered, compared to Li Shan's straight jump, it is undoubtedly much more chic, although the level of power in this world is high, but it is more about the pursuit of strength and speed, with the theme of horse warfare, light power is destined to lose the market, Li Xuan's exquisite light power is enough to make people dizzy, but unfortunately, there are not many people who know how to appreciate here, and few people who know how to appreciate, the attention is clearly not here.
"Boom~"
Almost at the same time as Li Xuan landed, the Xianbei knight who lost the interception of the arrow rain had already completed the final charge, violently knocking the logs blocking the valley mouth into the air, and completely destroying the wooden wall blocking the valley mouth at the cost of zero casualties, but the imaginary long drive did not appear, and the steel shields gathered densely together to form an indestructible steel shield wall, and the cold spears were erected from the gaps in the shields, gathering into a death forest several feet square!
"Puff~Puff~"
In the continuous sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, this team of Xianbei cavalry was not much better than their martyrs' luck, and their deaths were even more miserable, including the war horses, under the dense spears became a honeycomb, but their mission had been completed, and the subsequent round of salvos of the Xianbei knights, most of the targets, were locked on Li Xuan, who was in the air.
Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, as the leader of a tribe, Murong Xiong is obviously quite familiar with this truth, and at this moment, Li Xuan is in the air, with nowhere to borrow strength, facing the cavalry and shooting of hundreds of Xianbei warriors, even if it is an in-stream general, he will only have ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.
It is naturally good to be able to directly kill this Han general who knows the secrets here, even if he can't, it is just a loss of a whole team of Xianbei elite horsemen, although such a big loss still makes Murong Xiong feel a little distressed, but compared to the temptation to be able to directly end this war, this effort is undoubtedly worth it.
In the face of hundreds of sharp arrows, Li Xuan's face was still calm, and the dragon slaying knife drew a circle in the air, protecting him and Zhao Min in it, like a full moon, the Qiankun Great Mind Shifting Method was operated to the extreme, and an invisible air flow led the sharp arrows that broke through the sky.
It's a pity that although the Great Shift of Qiankun is exquisite, the rank of the Xianbei knights is obviously too much higher than the Mongolian cavalry in the past, and the air flow that induces it acts on the hundreds of arrow clusters at the same time, and can only barely deflect a few arrow clusters. Flying out of the circle drawn by the dragon slayer, the others all slammed into the full moon-like sword.
Although the power carried by a sharp arrow is limited, the power of dozens of arrow clusters gathers together, even at this time, although Li Xuan tried his best to resolve this force, the arrows were too dense. It was impossible to dissolve them one by one, but most of the power was taken by him, but with this power, his body accelerated suddenly, and his toes connected the dots on the surrounding rocks, and finally landed lightly, but his face was a little pale.
As for the fate of the hundred Xianbei knights, it is naturally conceivable that under the charging speed of the war horse. After a round of cavalry shooting, the man had already rushed to the front of the shield array, and before he had time to make any more movements, he was pierced through his body by the spears that continued to pierce his body like waves, leaving a wreckage behind.
Murong Xiong looked at Li Xuan, who landed safely, and a touch of pity flashed in his eyes, with his heart, since he had already made a decision. He didn't pay attention to the casualties of the hundred elite Xianbei Elite Cavalry, after all, he knew it before he was ready to shoot Li Xuan. Whether it succeeds or not, it is impossible for this elite cavalry to survive, what is already doomed, there is nothing to regret, but the real pity is that after this battle, the other party is obviously unlikely to give him a chance to shoot again. Unless the other person's head is caught in the door panel.
"Trapped!" Calming down the churning qi and blood in his body a little, Li Xuan forcibly swallowed the blood in his mouth, this round of confrontation seemed to be short, but he himself suffered a trace of internal injury under this round of collision, and waved his big hand. In Wu Mu's suicide note, the cavalry trapping array was launched.
The shield array in the middle suddenly recessed inward, revealing a large number of spearmen hiding behind them, and at the same time, the archers in the rear spread out at the other end of the valley in a half-moon shape.
"Charge!" Looking at the strange formation that the other party conjured up in an instant, this was a battle formation that he had never seen before, but it made a dangerous aura rise in his heart, and a sense of inappropriateness flashed in Murong Xiong's heart, but at this time, it was already south, and he had to do his best to break through this Han army and reoccupy the valley, once he could not break through this valley, when the Han people built a solid stone wall here, then he would really become a lone army.
"Roar~" Under the bonus of Murong Xiong's various commanderial skills, the morale that had already begun to decline instantly reached the top, and launched a crazy attack on the Han army.
After a simple round of cavalry shooting, the troops at the front crashed headlong into the cloth bag formation set up by the opponent, preparing to completely destroy this seemingly very thin battle formation with absolute strength at the speed of the war horse charge, and reoccupy the valley.
"Puffy Puff~"
In the shield array on both sides, more than a dozen ropes were suddenly stretched, and in the mournful roar of the war horse, the thunderous momentum instantly became a joke, and the momentum was stopped in an instant, although the Xianbei knights in the rear reduced their speed with superb skills, but let them gather at the position of the valley mouth, congested together, unable to advance or retreat.
"Not good!" Murong Xiong's complexion changed drastically.
With Li Huo's loud shout, a row of arrows swept into the air, and hundreds of cold arrow clusters instantly converged into a dense network of arrows in the air less than ten zhang, heading towards the most dense shroud of the Xianbei Elite Cavalry, accompanied by blood and screams, Murong Xiong closed his eyes in pain, even with his ruthless heart, watching the most elite warrior in the clan die powerlessly under the opponent's sharp arrows, he couldn't help but feel a sense of distress.
"Break through!" Although the loss of the warriors is extremely distressed, but the matter has come to this point, if you retreat to reorganize the offensive, it will not only bear the necessary losses in the process of retreating, but more importantly, a qiē will return to the original point, although the momentum is blocked, but these Xianbei knights are still the most brave elite soldiers, even at the risk of huge losses, to destroy this Han army, as long as he can reopen the secret road connecting the outside of the Saiwai, he can mobilize more warriors from the other side of the mountain to conquer this land!
"Liuyun!" The dragon slaying knife in Li Xuan's hand was swung down almost at the same time, and the pikemen who were originally hidden under the protection of the shield array suddenly burst out from under the protection of the shield, and the cold spear in his hand stabbed at the nearest Xianbei cavalry without hesitation, and at the same time, the archers in the rear continued to shoot unscrupulously at the Xianbei elite cavalry gathered at the mouth of the valley under the command of Li Huo.
"Fight back!" Murong Xiong also made adjustments, and the Xianbei elite cavalry gathered at the valley mouth picked up the bows and arrows in their hands and launched a counterattack against the archers here, while the Xianbei elite cavalry that fell into the valley mouth picked up the scimitar and also pounced on the nearest spearman with a fierce momentum that was not afraid of death.
At this moment of the war, it has returned to the most primitive stage, at least in Murong Xiong's opinion, although he has lost the advantage of the war horse charge, his soldiers are still firmly suppressing the opponent in the ranks, although it is an unexpected and miserable victory, but he has already been mentally prepared accordingly.
However, the next moment, the information fed back from the battlefield shocked this tribal leader who had always been ruthless and decisive! (To be continued......)
