"Boom ......"

When Yang Yifei estimated that they had walked more than 20 miles and were not far from the enemy camp, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder faintly came.

Yang Yifei's expression moved, no surprise, it should be the enemy army who received the news and took the initiative to gather troops to meet him, which is really good.

"The whole army pays attention, master the distance, except for the first volley, and then shoot freely."

The order was swiftly conveyed, and the blood of the archers began to boil, but they continued to gallop unhurriedly, and it was easier to turn around when the speed was not raised.

And when he turned around, it was time to speed the horse with all his might, and then the enemy army would be a group of live targets.

A black line appeared at the end of the horizon, and it was Dijon's light cavalry, ordinary soldiers had no armor, and the generals wore only leather armor, and the main weapons were knives, that is, bronze short knives and a kind of iron-handled short spears, both one-handed weapons, and bows and arrows were equipped by everyone.

When it was about a mile or so, it could be estimated that the opponent was 10,000 cavalry.

Dijon scouts brought the information back, this time the attack of two thousand archers was regarded by Dijon as a tentative attack, ten thousand against two thousand, even if the weapons and equipment are inferior to the other party, there is no reason for defeat.

Of course, a few miles behind the 10,000 cavalry, there were still tens of thousands of foot soldiers waiting for them, and if these two thousand cavalry were just the opponent's vanguard or bait, they would also immediately retreat, leading the enemy's main force to the infantry array.

And if these two thousand cavalry were really just a tentative attack by the enemy, they would have eaten them with a boat.

As the distance drew closer, the archers put their arrows on the bowstring.

300 steps...... Two hundred and fifty steps...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty steps......

The archers drew their bowstrings and pointed at a forty-five degree angle towards the sky, which was the farthest elevation angle at which the bow and arrow could be thrown.

The last thirty steps passed in a flash, and without any command, the archers let go of their bowstrings.

"Boom Boom ......"

Two thousand arrows flew into the air, crossed a perfect parabola, and smashed into the array of Dijon cavalry, a large number of Dijon cavalry fell from their horses, and some of the horses that were hit by arrows also fell, stumbling over the robes that were caught off guard behind them.

Falling off his horse in the case of a surprise attack by ten thousand armies, whether he was hit or not, injured or not, unless he was added to the immortal aura, it was basically impossible to stand up again.

Or if there is a large fall in the same place, and the men and horses are stacked in a heap, the top part of the knights may survive, because the other horsemen will go around the place after falling too much.

In the first wave of attacks, two thousand archers fired a volley, and Dijon's cavalry suffered hundreds of losses, but they could only stand by side, and there was nothing they could do.

Their bows and arrows can only reach about 90 to 100 paces, and when the Qin army releases arrows, it is useless for them to shoot arrows, they can only waste arrows.

Just when the Dijon cavalry gritted their teeth and raised their bows and arrows, ready to wait for their range and return a tooth for a tooth, they found with a bewildered face that the other party had not even looked at the results after shooting this wave of arrows, so they decisively turned their horses and slipped away.

“……”

What's going on? You ran more than 20 miles together, just to come here and shoot us with an arrow? What about playing?

Di Rong's cavalry was extremely angry, desperately urging the horses, vowing to catch up and destroy this group of bastards, anyway, the other party had already run for more than twenty miles, and the horsepower must have consumed a lot, and in the end, they would definitely be caught up.

Then, their nightmare began.

They found that the Qin army that was fleeing in front of them actually pulled the array to the two wings in the process of fleeing, and then the knights suddenly turned around on horseback and shot arrows at them, and the powerful range of the Great Qin bow and arrow suddenly became their nightmare.

Unlike the first round of arching, the Qin army was surprisingly accurate when they turned around to shoot arrows, and it was clear that only about half of them were shooting arrows now, but their casualties were even greater.

After all, casualties are not only caused by the enemy's bow and arrow, the opponent shoots the part of the people who run in front, and after they fall off their horses, they will trip the horses behind, causing greater casualties.

After the Great Qin Archers shot the first wave of arrows, it took some time to turn their horses' heads, and at this moment they had actually barely entered the range of Di Rong's cavalry.

But it was useless, they were running forward now, and it took a little time for the bow and arrow to fly out to the ground, but this little time was enough time for them to run out of the range of Dijon's bow and arrow, and when the arrow fell, they couldn't even take a horsetail.

The archers were just the opposite, originally the distance they could guarantee the hit rate was only about eighty paces, but because the Dijon cavalry was pursuing, it was equivalent to making up some distance for themselves during the flight of the arrow, and the result happened to be an arrow.

These situations are all carefully calculated by Yang Yifei with ballistics, as well as many tests, when to turn the horse's head, the time it takes to turn the horse's head, the distance that the opponent approaches during this time, and the safe distance that needs to be maintained from the enemy, are all in the hands of the archers.

Moreover, they had a relatively conservative timing, Yang Yifei asked the archers to ensure their own safety as the primary goal, and the second was to kill the enemy, so they would rather sacrifice some accuracy and keep the distance above ninety steps.

First, it is not easy to train archers, and cavalry is not something that can be mastered by one person, so if you really want to form archers on a large scale, the 900,000 army of Daqin will be difficult to put together even 50,000.

Because the Mengjia army itself is the most elite army, the requirements for the combat ability of the soldiers are very strict, so it can easily form a 2,000-strong archer cavalry force.

Secondly, the archer is the kind of special army that can kill ten, tens, or even hundreds of enemies by one person, and only by leaving a useful body can you kill more enemies.

Therefore, in the era of Daqin, which advocates being fierce and fearless of death, Yang Yifei's concept of cherishing his life has not been criticized, but is very supportive.

The Great Qin Archers and the Dirong Cavalry chased and fled, and the distance of several miles was fleeting, and at this time, one of the 1,000 archers had already shot seven or eight arrows, and the Dirong cavalry found that their 10,000 cavalry had unknowingly lost half of them on this pursuit road.

Dijon's cavalry came with great form, furious when they were rained down on arrows and the enemy turned and fled, but by this time there was only deep fear left in their hearts, and many of them were secretly slowing down their horses.

Some Di Rong generals also gradually came back to their senses, no, this is not right, the battle is not fought like this, so that the other party can only fight themselves, but they can't fight back at all!

"Stop."

"Stop, Stop, Stop......"

There were shouts of stopping one after another among the Dijon cavalry, and the Dijon cavalry, which was only more than 6,000 people left, gradually stopped their horses.

"Hit, we're hit, the enemy doesn't intend to attack at all, they're consuming us in this way." Some generals shouted.

Immediately, the other generals chimed in: "Yes, we can't chase anymore, retreat, let's retreat, and use the shield array of the foot soldiers to resist their bows and arrows." ”

At this moment, someone pointed ahead in horror and said, "They...... They're back. ”
