"Speaking of which, there have been ways to pollute water sources with corpses since ancient times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But as long as the dead are burned, the problem will be solved. However, it is clear that the problem of this pasture has not been solved. The dead bodies that blocked the upstream rivers were not the root of the problem. Come to think of it, it should be that someone with supernatural powers used great mana to change the growth of the spiritual roots of this grassland, which caused this place to become withered. ”

In the face of the questioning of the right virtuous king, the shaman spoke eloquently. This is not nonsense, the shaman is extremely sensitive to psionic energy, Hua Jun set up a scorching sun formation underground, and constantly unleashed a dark erosion full of resentment and death. If this kind of formation is set on the ground, it can be seen at a glance. The problem is that when Yang Tianhong asked Luo Tudian to develop the Burning Sun Formation, he made it clear that he wanted the formation to be secret and not to be detected and destroyed at will. Therefore, although the soldiers and horses of the Right Virtuous King searched the ground repeatedly, they were still unaware of the scorching sun formation that caused this place to be desolate.

A burst of anger welled up in the eyes of the Right Virtuous King. Not even the shaman can get to the root of the problem, which means that the place will remain desolate forever.

Are those Han people who enter the grassland a group of devils?

If it's just a few herdsmen and some of the cattle and sheep, then that's fine. The grasslands are large, and as long as there is enough time, the population and cattle and sheep will slowly replenish. However, if the grassland is destroyed at the root, it is completely different. No matter how big the grassland is, it can't help but encroach on it a little bit. What's more, the methods of those Chu cavalry were terrifying. They are like a group of plague liberators, sowing the seeds of death in the grasslands. God knows what they used to completely destroy this place. But even the shaman is helpless about it, and the only solution is ...... The only way to do this is to find these Chu people as soon as possible and kill them before they cause more trouble.

Thinking of this, a trace of ferocity was released in the eyes of the Right Virtuous King. He raised his horsewhip high, made an incomparably loud voice in the air, and shouted at the surrounding Rongdi cavalry: "Pass the order, no matter what, you must find those Chu people who have entered the grassland." Those who have made meritorious contributions to the news will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 10,000 heads of cattle and sheep. Whoever has killed the Chu people has merit, this king will never hesitate to reward. ”

......

Yang Tianhong rode on the back of the purple-eyed thunder leopard, with a gloomy face, silently watching the battle situation in front of him.

Calculating the time, it's almost time to turn back. The brigade was ready, but at this time it encountered a force of Rongdi cavalry. The number is not very large, that is, about three thousand. It was impossible for Yang Tianhong to let go of this kind of food that he brought to his mouth, and the encounter began.

Yang Tianhong felt that he should be more bold, disperse the Chu army on the scene according to the scale of one team per thousand people, and spread out the formation as much as possible to complete a wider and more comprehensive blocking line. After all, the terrain here is flat. The Chu army, which was only divided into two parts, could only block two directions even if it wanted to divide and encircle, and it could not be comprehensive.

He had 6,000 cavalry on his hands. Of course, this figure is somewhat general. Since entering the grassland, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses have been captured. The number of soldiers who went out to escort the spoils back to the south has been repeatedly reduced. Up to now, there are only more than 4,000 people left in Yang Tianhong's department.

Ideas are just ideas after all, and Yang Tianhong also has his own concerns. He really wanted to expand the range of the block. But his instinct told him not to overdo it, and to spread it out would increase the range of the block. But that was based on the premise that the enemy commander would be stupid, and if the enemy commander was not stupid and found out about their intentions and walked away, it would be considered a failure, so he preferred to be more conservative and cautious.

Annihilation, must be annihilated. For barbarians like Rong Di, letting them flee back can only bring more and greater trouble. Only the dead Rong Di is the best Rong Di.

Unlike other southern countries, the cavalry of the Lizhou State of Chu would shout "The Chu army is mighty!" before charging, and then drive the war horses to slowly accelerate. In the silence of the cavalry on horseback, their mounts gradually accelerated with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and after completing the acceleration, they shouted the word "kill" again, and then they would not make a sound unless they were exerting force, or they were injured and muffled, otherwise they were silent all the time.

The actions of the Chu army were naturally discovered by the Rongdi cavalry on the opposite side. The more than 3,000 Rong Di cavalry were obviously sluggish, and then they found that the Chu army only had more than 4,000 cavalry moving towards the battlefield. As a result, Rong Di's cavalry brigade moved again and faced Yang Tianhong's approaching troops head-on.

What are you kidding, this is the grassland, and it is our Rongdi's world. Cavalry tactics, who can Rong Di be afraid of? Not to mention that there are only 4,000 Chu people, even if it is a large array of tens of thousands of Chu troops, Rong Di's cavalry dares to rush forward. Isn't it? The Chu people are cowardly by nature, and even if their own women are raped, the men will shrink and hide next to them and cry and dare not speak. For this kind of waste, it is to suppress it to the end.

Judging from the banner, this Rongdi cavalry belongs to the department of King Guli. The opposing officer's approach is very in line with Rong Di's tactics, cavalry warfare is originally a mobile style of play, unlike the infantry once they fight, they stay in a very small range of melee, and the cavalry does not have the saying that they are trapped in a certain area and cannot move.

To put it more simply, the cavalry could not be defeated, and it could quickly give up a part of its forces and then break away, and the whole army would only happen if it was surrounded on all sides. Obviously, the commander sent by the king of Gu Li made up his mind and sent the largest number of troops to drag the approaching Chu army, saying that it was okay to drag or test the water on the Chu army, he only left about 500 troops to prevent possible accidents, and the rest of the troops continued to stare at the Chu army on the opposite side to attack to the death.

General Rong Di didn't know that Yang Tianhong had an advantage in science and technology.

The Chu people will shoot a steady stream of crossbow arrows when they are close to their rivals. This kind of thing is no secret to Rong Di. Many years ago, the people of Qi and Zhao did this. Speaking of which, the Han Chinese method is this problematic. Therefore, when the Rong Di cavalry approached, they did not get close to the distance of less than thirty paces at all, and some of their riders were able to shoot arrows with bows on horseback, and scattered arrows flew towards the Chu army at a distance of about forty or fifty paces.

The bow and arrows used by Rong Di are basically horned bows. The arrows shot by the horned bow were actually fluttering when they flew forty or fifty paces away. Not to mention that the Lizhou cavalry under Yang Tianhong's command are all wearing Anzhou armor, even if they are not armored, the light arrows flying over are extremely easy to block. In this case, even if it is shot, it is only a bruise at most.

The quality of Anzhou armor is indeed outrageous. Not to mention light weight, hardness and strength are second to none in this era. What's more, the war beasts raised with special secret methods have excellent endurance and extremely fast running speed. This kind of battle, just thinking about it, you can understand what the outcome will be.

The Chu army has been running unhurriedly. Something surprising happened, just under the noses of the Rong Di cavalry, the cavalry of the Chu army on the opposite side actually raised a delicate hand crossbow and began to fire it without reaching thirty paces at all. This kind of thing makes people feel incredible, and they can't come back to their senses for a while. A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, causing casualties among the Rongdi cavalry. Some people want to turn their horses and run away, but when the enemy army consciously wants to keep a distance, unless Rong Di sits down and the speed of the war horse is faster than the enemy army, it is impossible to do so.

Such a scene occurred when the two sides were chasing each other, starting with the Chu cavalry running in front, and the Rong Di cavalry shooting arrows at the Chu army sporadically while running. When it was transformed into a front and back chase, the arrows shot backward by the Rong Di cavalry were moving forward, so they would inevitably run towards the arrows shot by Rong Di on their own while moving, which finally increased the lethality of the arrows shot by Rong Di.

When the first unlucky Chu man was shot in the eye and fell off his horse, Rong Di, who was running in front, immediately broke out with a burst of "yo he" cheers, and they shot the arrows more hard.

Some of the encouraged Rong Di began to try to join the ranks of shooting arrows at the back of the buttocks, and the number of arrows flying towards the Chu army began to increase, but there were also a few cases in the galloping Rong Di team that did not control their bodies and fell off their horses. In this way, not many Chu cavalry were shot down, but their own manpower became even more.

The tactics used by these Rongdi cavalry sent by King Gu Li were also used by the Chu people against the neighboring Qi army. It is nothing more than a posture of letting the enemy chase after the buttocks, and then running in front and constantly shooting backwards with arrows when the enemy can't catch up. Now Rong Di's means of playing can only be said to be extremely rudimentary, and he has not played the greatest effect of the legendary "kite tactic" at all, which is also because Rong Di's horses are not fast and enduror, so the number of arrows that can be shot backwards is not much. If there were war beasts that Yang Tianhong had specially domesticated with secret methods, then the current situation would not be a few arrows, but a dense array of arrows shooting backwards.

The cavalry of the state of Chu has used this tactic to drag down quite a lot of Qi troops in history, so they must be no strangers to such tactics, they know very well what to do in the face of this kind of situation, and suddenly the horn sound of "woo-woo-woo-" sounded in the ranks, and the galloping cavalry of the Chu State was a burst of shouts in unison "kill", and the cavalry of about 4,000 people immediately divided about 2,000 people, forming a double arrow to gallop predictably to the position where the enemy might turn, and the remaining 2,000 people drove the war horse to carry out an explosive impact.

The feeding of war beasts has not been interrupted even after entering the grassland. Yang Tianhong supplied the Dan liquid at any time, and in addition to carrying various food materials, the Qiankun bag of the accompanying monk also shipped an extremely large number of eggs. The domestication of the beast is expensive, and its endurance and speed are far more explosive than any known horse breed. The daily feed must be mixed with eggs, and a considerable amount of black beans must be added to it. On the other hand, it is impossible for Rong Di to do this.

The Chu army's sudden division of troops and sudden acceleration can startle the Rong Di enemy army running in front, they stopped shooting for a moment and concentrated on controlling the war horse, but they still could not avoid being shortened by the Chu army, until the two sides approached a considerable distance, and finally it was the turn of the Chu army's crossbow.

Rong Di immediately discovered that the range of the crossbows equipped by this Chu army was far beyond what he expected.

The range of their crossbows was not as simple as thirty paces, at least fifty paces, or even further. , but more than fifty steps will not have any lethality, soft and fluttering crossbow arrows may be able to shoot people but absolutely not kill people, then it is better not to shoot. In addition, the crossbow is a three-shot burst, and it is not easy to reload after shooting, so it is the most correct way to use it to shorten the engagement distance to fifty paces before shooting, after all, there is no possibility of reloading in an engaging position.

The sound of a crossbow fired is not the same as the sound of an arrow fired from a bow, but the sound of an arrow breaking through the air is not different.

Only the leading part of the Chu cavalry can fire crossbow arrows, and after they finish shooting, they will move their horses to both sides on their own, in order to naturally make room for the back robe to fill the position and shoot arrows.

The crossbow arrows are relatively short, and the sound of breaking the air is much sharper, and a burst of "Xiu Xiu-" is approaching, and the galloping Rong Di cavalry all immediately press their bodies tightly against the neck of the horses, hoping to lower their bodies to avoid the crossbow arrows that come from the shooting.

From the periphery, two cavalry teams one after the other, chasing behind the Chu cavalry team constantly have small pole black spots, they at a very rapid speed towards the front of the Rong Di cavalry ****, this shooting posture is as the Chu cavalry shooting crossbow arrows in the empty box to give way to the position of the robe to fill the position and endless; the Rong Di cavalry team running in front is the tail part of the part of the tail constantly shot by the small black dots "bite" people or horses, they gallop in the tail part of the more "cut" shorter and shorter. This means that the number of people is getting smaller and smaller.

The companions behind continued to scream, stimulating all the Rong Di cavalry to subconsciously urge the war horses under the seat to increase their speed, and their companions who were either because of the arrows in the people or the arrows in the horses As long as they fall to the ground, even if they do not die for a while, they will be trampled into pulp by the cavalry of the Chu army galloping behind, and they will always become a part of the earth.

The situation suddenly changed. One side controlled the war horse in panic and fled at an accelerated pace. On the other side of the spectrum were pursuers who were about to reach the critical point of maximum speed, and the distance between the two sides gradually began to widen during the movement.

Yang Tianhong did not join the fight. He had been standing on a higher mound, watching the tide of battle closely.

The Rong Di cavalry, who gradually distanced themselves from the front, was naturally extremely anxious, and when the first Rong Di who dared to lower his speed to turn and flee appeared, the second, third, and fourth would soon appear...... Then it becomes very numerous, and then it forms a tide of rout. Steering will inevitably reduce the speed, and once Rong Di reduces the speed of his horse, he will naturally be approached by the Chu army chasing behind. The first to approach was the Chu army on the left, and after approaching, of course, there was an endless burst of crossbow shots, and then the battlefield sounded the shout of "Chu army mighty", and a short encounter broke out in a moment.

The officer who led the Lizhou cavalry was Yang Qi, and he did not get involved in the engagement of the first group of enemy troops who were caught, where Rong Di was suppressed when the crossbow bolts were fired, and in that direction, the Chu army was destined to take advantage. The outcome of the battle is already sealed. In addition, the Chu army has already arrived in contact with the Rongdi cavalry, Yang Qi and his cavalry are inserted from behind, if they enter the battle, it will only block the way forward of their own robes, it is better to move slightly from the side and continue to chase the other group of enemy troops.

The facts that happened next also proved Yang Qi's judgment. The cavalry of the Chu army approaching the attack from the left is by no means staying in place once the short arms are connected, they are waving the swords in their hands in the high-speed gallop, whether they are slashed or not, they are galloping at speed without dropping, and the trend of rushing forward is naturally in a straight line, if Yang Qian really brings people to join the attack, it should be two groups of Chu cavalry blocking each other's way, and the result is that they will inevitably block the road and the direction of progress between each other, and then it will be extremely chaotic, and a group of people will turn over on their backs.

The cavalry of the Chu army galloping on the right only rode their horses to attack when there was only one tail left in the team that the robes were charging and killing, so that it became a crossing line that would not block each other's way.

It is difficult for a running cavalry to fulfill the orders given by the general in a short time. It's not something that anyone can change. hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...... When the cavalry is large enough and has already been mobilized, things like changing direction are simply tantamount to suicide. Teammates in the back, on the left and right, and even in front of you can't understand your intentions at all, they can only act according to the orders given by the commander before the battle. Even if you see the flag of changing directions, there must be a large-scale change process.

After all, the war beast is not a car from another world, and it is said that you can stop steadily by stepping on the brakes. Both the weight and the speed of inertia determine that it is impossible for the war beast to stop when it is impacting.

The Rong Di cavalry to which King Gu Li belonged could detect that the situation was not good, they had shrunk their troops back as much as possible, and the current battlefield dynamics had become that the cavalry of the Chu army was approaching them from the northwest, if Rong Di did not want to stay in place and be caught, he could only move, and the direction of movement was either north or south.

In less than ten minutes of fighting between this Rongdi cavalry and the Chu cavalry, more than a thousand lives were lost. Even the head of Elm should know that he is not the opponent of the Chu army, so the biggest problem now is, of course, to find a way to break away. (To be continued.) )
