Chapter 264: Skillful Cavalry
In fact, the strength of the class is only an advantage, the important thing is to know how to use it. Sima Yongcheng's ability to defeat the West Vietnamese Iron Cavalry does not mean that the West Vietnamese cavalry has degenerated, but that their tactics have been seen through by Sima Yongcheng, and then they can make reasonable strikes against their weaknesses. Sima Yongcheng uses strategy and skills, while Xiyue only knows that it is strange to rely on people to be strong and strong, and not to suffer losses.
Today, the Dongning cavalry is the same, they don't take the other party's dozens of people in their eyes at all, and even feel that sending their own elite division to deal with this dozens of people is really a big fuss!
But there is a truth they don't understand, that is, the arrogant army will be defeated! They also don't want to think about how to deal with each other since they dare to go head-to-head.
Looking at the menacing cavalry iron array, Wu Zhao waved the flying stone rope in his hand, staring at the distance between the opponent and himself in his eyes, looking for an opportunity to defeat the enemy with one blow.
Although Wu Zhao was very sure in front of him, the galloping and whistling momentum still made Sima Hongyan and the others nervous, if they were bumped into and stepped on under the horse's hooves, ten lives would not be enough!
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, especially now that their speed had fully sprinted, and the impact was by no means something ordinary flesh and blood could resist. But the seven of Wu Zhao were still standing firmly on the opposite side, and the flying stone rope in their hands was turning faster and faster.
At the beginning of the distance, the cavalry had not seen the things in the hands of Wu Zhao and the others, and when they were about to reach the front, the cavalry in front of them saw the flying stone rope in the hands of the opposite person. He was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Stop it! At this time, Wu Zhao also issued an order: "Release!" ”
Seven fast-spinning flying stone ropes "swished" a few times and flew out quickly. When the cavalry saw the movement of the opponent's hand, they immediately leaned down on the back of their horses. Who knew that the flying stone rope flickered lower and lower, and went straight to the horse's leg in the rapid sprint.
At this point, it was too late to stop and react, it was too close. The first rope wrapped itself around one of the legs of the first horse, but it did not stop, and at the same time it wrapped itself around the other leg that followed. No matter how strong the horse's legs were, the two front legs could not rise and fall at the same time like a puppy, only to hear a neighing of the horse, the first cavalryman only felt the center of gravity fall suddenly, and the man leaned forward, as if he had been pushed from behind, and involuntarily fell straight out.
Although the person flew into the air, his feet were still hanging in the pedals, so the body that had been flying forward was suddenly grabbed and slapped on the ground.
The first horses fell and were followed by the second, then the third. Seven shots and seven hits, the cavalry rushing in the first row was tripped by Wu Zhao and several people, and none of them missed.
The fall of the first row of cavalry immediately caused a chain reaction, and those who followed immediately tripped over the fallen man or horse in front of them because the horses were about to be unable to retract them, and pressed the former's body.
The originally fierce elite cavalry turned on their backs and was in chaos in an instant. The neighing and screaming of horses came and went, and the momentum continued, and the fallen people and horses continued to move forward one after another.
Seeing that the time was ripe and the other party was in chaos, Nanfeng Lone Shadow broke off and shouted: "Everyone rush with me!" ”
With the call of the lonely shadow of the south wind, Sima Hongyan and the others rushed back with their weapons around the fallen cavalry, and saw that some of the fallen horses stood up again, Sima Hongyan shouted: "Grab the horse!" ”
One of the main reasons why they can't go fast and can't escape is that there are no horses for everyone, and there is no place to buy horses in the wilderness. Now there is a sturdy war horse in front of me, which is much better than ordinary horses.
Seeing that Sima Hongyan had already grabbed the reins of a war horse, Nanfeng Lone Shadow stopped her and said, "It's useless!" These horses are specially trained and we can't ride them. ”
Sima Hongyan let go in a fit of anger and continued to run forward behind Nanfeng Lone Shadow. At this time, the cavalry behind finally stopped the momentum, and looked at the companions in front of them who were tripped by the chain and couldn't help but be furious, and they all waved long knives and surrounded them. You must know that the cavalry's horses can't run, then their advantage will be gone, although they have taken advantage of a condescending advantage, but it will be much easier for Nanfeng Lone Shadow and these people to deal with them.
A cavalryman rode up to the South Wind Shadow and slashed with a sword, and the South Wind Shadow moved and dodged to the other side. The horse's reaction was not so fast, and it was too late for the soldier to turn around and attack, and the long sword in the hand of the lone shadow of the south wind had already pierced him through his back.
At this time, the war horses scurrying everywhere and the people and horses still falling to the ground became an obstacle for the cavalry, and it was not flexible at all to attack Sima Hongyan and others.
Sima Hongyan came to the front of a cavalryman, and the soldier raised his knife to stab, but Sima Hongyan was very dexterous, and he got under the horse's belly as soon as he was short. The soldier on the horse naturally thought that Sima Hongyan would come out from the other side, and hurriedly put away his knife and stabbed it to the other side. Who knew that Sima Hongyan turned back from the original way, and took advantage of the soldier's turn to raise his sword and stab it under his side, and the soldier screamed and fell off his horse.
At this moment's time, Sima Hongyan and these people made their own moves, killed forty or fifty cavalrymen, and made the rest of the cavalry angry and screaming, but there was nothing to do, even then no one thought of dismounting to fight.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the commander of Dongning, who knew that the cavalry without the advantage of war horses was not the opponent of Sima Hongyan and others, so he hurriedly asked people to beat drums, withdraw the cavalry, and replace them with infantry.
Seeing that the cavalry was about to retreat, Nanfeng Lone Shadow shouted and beckoned everyone to follow, and followed the retreating cavalry to cover the past, otherwise once the cavalry withdrew, all of his people would be exposed to the range of the archers.
It was a very dangerous thing to face crossbowmen in an open place, and everyone knew that it was powerful, so they hurriedly followed the lone shadow of the south wind, and rushed towards the enemy camp under the cover of the retreating cavalry.
Nanfeng Lone Shadow instructed the people behind him while running: "We will meet the enemy in a short fight, we will form a circle to watch each other, if someone is injured, retreat to the circle, and others will make up for it, so that we can have a chance to live." ”
Sima Hongyan glanced back a few times and asked, "Why haven't those black-clothed people made a move?" ”
Nanfeng Guying said: "Those are people with identity in the rivers and lakes, even if they cover their faces, they will not do sneak attacks behind their backs and take advantage of people's danger." But be careful, if we can repel these officers and soldiers, that's when they will strike. As he spoke, he happened to see Wu Zhao and a few people behind him, just now Wu Zhao and their methods of dealing with cavalry were extremely skillful, and they couldn't help but provoke Nanfeng Lone Shadow to look at them a few more times.
The cavalry horse was fast, and quickly bypassed the infantry shield array and ran behind Lan Aoxin and Zhou Fanqi to stop, while Sima Hongyan and they also took the opportunity to escape from the shooting range of the archers and approached the infantry camp.
Dongning's infantry is in front of the spear and shield soldiers, and the back is the spearmen, it is not easy to deal with them, just the shield array in front will definitely not be able to rush through, and once they get close, the countless spears hidden behind the shields can instantly pierce people into hedgehogs, which is very dangerous.
However, these Nanfeng lonely shadows already had a plan, he greeted Yan Hong, Guo Zidi, and Gu Junxi, and said, "The three of us will go directly behind them and attack his rear." He said to Sima Hongyan again: "You take the rest of the people to contain the shield soldiers, remember!" Don't be surrounded by them, or it will be difficult to figure it out! ”
The power of the infantry is here, how could Sima Hongyan not understand, and nodded hurriedly.
Seeing Sima Hongyan and the others rushing towards the infantry in a daze, the main general sneered and thought to himself: "You were lucky enough to avoid my cavalry just now, do you still want to go straight to my infantry shield formation this time?" It's ridiculous! ”
Seeing that the two sides were about to collide together, the spear blades of the Dongning infantry sticking out of their shields were faintly shiny even at night, which made people shudder. At the moment when they were approaching, the four of Nanfeng Lone Shadow suddenly jumped up and jumped straight above the infantry.
All four of them were extremely light and skillful, and this leap was like an eagle striking the sky, and it flew over the heads of the infantry and the forest with the tips of their spears.
The enemy commander was taken aback, but he didn't expect that there were such masters among these people, and he hurriedly shouted to the crossbowmen: "Release the arrows!" Hurry up and release the arrows! "But where is it too late, the target of Nanfeng Lonely Shadow is no one else, it is the commander of the army.
When Sima Hongyan rushed over, he proposed to Nanfeng Guying the idea of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", Nanfeng Guying originally thought that Sima Hongyan was referring to Lan Aoxin or Zhou Fanqi, but who knew that Sima Hongyan secretly pointed and actually said that he was the main general who led the troops.
At that time, Nanfeng Guying didn't understand, he asked Sima Hongyan Lan Aoxin and Zhou Fanqi if their status was higher, and it was not better to use them as hostages. Sima Hongyan said: "In this group of people, the only person who can command the battle is this main general. Even if we catch Lan Aoxin or Zhou Fanqi, with this person's command, we can still trap us, and we can't run if we want to. But if we get rid of him and don't have a leader, we have a better chance of running again. Or after killing the main general, these two people will be captured as hostages, and there will be no need to worry about these elite soldiers. ”
Nanfeng Guying smiled and nodded, and he took over the task of killing the main general, and Yan Hong and the three of them needed to cooperate to cover for him. After discussion, Nanfeng Guying secretly praised Sima Hongyan for his thoughtfulness, and his analysis was extremely reasonable, and he was very talented in military affairs.
When the four of them crossed the crowd, Yan Hong and the three of them attacked the rear of the infantry from behind, disrupting their formation, and Nanfeng Lone Shadow went straight to the main general hiding in the back of the infantry.
I didn't expect it to be running by myself, the main general admired these people for their courage and bravery, but they were not vegetarians after many years of fighting, and when they saw the lonely shadow of the south wind coming, they pulled out their sabers and commanded their personal guards to fight.
can be the personal guard of the main general in the army, they are all good martial arts players in the army, although they saw Nanfeng Lone Shadow showing a wonderful light skill, but they are not afraid at all. After all, there is only one person on the other side, and there are four on his side, no matter how powerful he is, he can handle it.
