Chapter 194: Fighting the Horse Thief

Under Zhou Tong's order, the cavalry prepared one after another.

For the cavalrymen in battle, the hand. The crossbow has only one chance to shoot, and this precious crossbow arrow naturally cannot be wasted in a salvo without meaning.

Therefore, considering the different situations, Zhou Tong had already arranged various tactics in advance.

When the cavalry team is charging at full speed over a long distance, the formation of the entire cavalry team will be uncontrollably dragged for a long time, because the speed of each horse itself and the weight and riding skills of the cavalry are different, and it is impossible to be exactly the same.

Although the cavalry with superb riding skills can control it slightly, it cannot be completely avoided, and in the face of the cavalry team is dragged into a long charging formation, the hand. The entire salvo of the crossbow, most of the crossbow arrows were wasted.

Therefore, the phased and layer-by-layer approach is the solution to maximize value.

At the same time, this blizzard also brought them a certain advantage, and the riding and archery skills that the grassland people were best at couldn't play at all in this blizzard, so they could only rush up and fight with them in close combat.

but their hands. Crossbows, because they are propelled by mechanical forces, have relatively limited impact.

"I saw the Xia people's grain delivery team!"

"Rush straight over!"

The horse thieves who found the traces of the grain transport team shouted loudly, and they were all red-eyed at this moment for food and survival!

The grain robbery troops, which numbered nearly two thousand horsemen, directly turned into a terrifying torrent and swept over, but Zhou Tong didn't seem to be panicked in the slightest.

Under the tremendous pressure, Zhou Tong took a deep breath, and only when the horse thieves who rushed to the front entered their effective range did he completely break out.

"Group 1, Shooting ——!!!"

Hand. The crossbow mechanism sounded, and a sharp crossbow arrow full of penetrating power flew out of the air, directly bringing a fierce blow to the torrent that swept over!

"Wow!"

Accompanied by the mournful roar of the war horse, the cavalry in front of him turned on his horse in the scream.

Even if a horse thief is lucky enough not to be killed by a round of crossbow arrows, and then rushes up to kill the rest of the horse thieves, the hooves of their war horses under their crotch are still enough to trample them into a mass of flesh with men and horses!

It's not the first time Huck has seen it. The power of the crossbow, but it still can't be calmed.

Take advantage of the week to pass them with their hands. The crossbow stopped the opportunity for the horse thieves to charge, and Huck hurriedly ran with his cavalry and began to accelerate, intending to accumulate the charging speed in a roundabout way and assault the horse thieves formation.

And Zhou Tong did not stop, while using a group of salvos to give the opponent a head-on blow, he watched as he finally controlled the charging momentum of the war horse under his crotch, avoiding the horse thief who continued to rush up from the corpse in front of him.

Zhou Tong did not hesitate to give the order again.

"The second group, shooting ——!!!"

The gang of horse thieves that I dealt with before had a maximum of hundreds of horses, and they couldn't show this hand at all. The crossbow is really powerful.

Now in the face of these two thousand horse thieves, the hands of Zhou Tong and others. Crossbow, this is the real sense of the beginning of the might!

Groups of crossbow bolts were shot one after another, blocking the way of the horse thieves along the way.

After each round of fire, a series of casualties were inflicted, and the number of casualties among the horse thieves had already broken two hundred, to say the least, with only three sets of crossbow arrows fired.

However, horse thieves are not stupid, and the steppe people are good at riding and shooting, and they are also good at dealing with horse shooting. This hand. Although the crossbow's weapon was different from the bow and arrow, the attack pattern was similar, and after being fired by three sets of crossbow arrows, they finally figured it out.

At this moment, Shinar, who was leading the cavalry of the Aratha tribe, shouted, "Everyone disperses!" ”

What is the best way to deal with a salvo?

In addition to the shield, there is only an evacuation formation.

At this time they are being circumscribed with their hands. The embarrassed horse thieves who were beaten with crossbows were panicking, and the scene was extremely chaotic, and they all lost their opinions.

Now when I hear a voice, I don't care if it's my own boss shouting, I directly take that voice as the backbone, one left and one right, and the two waves of cavalry are directly dispersed.

The evacuation formation greatly reduced the threat posed to them by the salvo of crossbow arrows, and when Zhou Tong saw this, he immediately changed his original plan and re-ordered!

"All fire! After a salvo, retreat directly to speed up! ”

The cavalry standing in place, hard to shake the horse thief who rushed over, this is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car, a dead end.

"Hum—"

At the same time, at the rear of the grain transport team, a loud elephant chirp resounded throughout the snowfield, and Rowling, who realized that there was a battle, directly drove the mammoth Aili under the seat to rush up and kill it!

And it was followed by the yak knights led by Alola.

Although they were mentally prepared, when the horse thieves really faced this behemoth, the mammoth's exaggerated size like a small mountain still brought them a strong sense of oppression.

In the face of the horse thieves who rushed towards him, Ai Li's thick elephant trunk shook suddenly, and he actually launched a momentum that swept through thousands of troops!

The group of horse thieves who rushed to the front, even the men and horses, were drawn out on the spot by the terrifying power of the mammoth.

The exaggerated scene simply shocked the rest of the horse thieves in the rear!

How strong does it take to do this?

However, there was no chance to shock them too much.

After the two rounds of bone spears were thrown, the usually brave yak knights, led by Alola, collided head-on with the horse thieves. The burly and strong yak has never been afraid of war horses in the matter of frontal collisions, and he almost forcibly knocked back the horse thief who rushed over.

However, the lack of yak riders is a hard wound.

A face-to-face victory, they naturally have the advantage and advantage, but once it turns into a melee, the numerical disadvantage is enough for the horse thief to quickly equalize, or even press back!

This point, as a wise general, Huck naturally knows it in his heart.

But it doesn't matter, because this collision of the yak riders has created an opportunity for him to cut into the battlefield!

I saw him wave the bronze spear in his hand and shout loudly: "All assault!" ”

With a loud roar, Huck directly led the roundabout cavalry under his command to break into the formation of the horse thieves, and the horse thieves who were attacked on the flanks were cut off on the spot.

At the same time, Zhou Tong, who was always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation, also saw the opportunity, pulled the reins in his hand, and took the cavalry under his command to kill it in a roundabout way!

"Brothers, charge with me!!"

War horses are criss-crossed, and for a while, a century war was directly staged on this snowfield.

The two cavalry teams, led by Zhou Tong and Huck respectively, continued to attack the horse thieves and divide the battlefield.

On the other hand, the mammoth Aili is also powerful, rampage all the way, what horse thief can stop the mammoth's pace?

The two waves of men and horses started fighting for less than 20 minutes, and there was no unified command, and the thousands of horse thieves who were fighting separately had already been rushed to pieces. At this moment, the gap between the rabble and the regular army can be said to be clear at a glance.

However, the other party is not all fragile waste, and Duride, as the leader of the horse thieves in this area, cannot be a mediocre hand.

And as the existence of the soil emperor level in this grassland, the cavalry of the Aratha tribe and Nashinar are naturally not idle.

In addition, some horse thief leaders who commanded two or three hundred horsemen also stabilized their positions.

These horse thieves are all living a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife, how can they be planted so easily?

After the initial panic, one by one, they were quite simply ignoring the others, directing their brothers to fight each other.

Yaks and mammoths are not as fast as war horses.

But it's a snowy field, and no one is more accustomed to it!

Between the yak culling, with the yak display on the back, the amazing combat power broke out in the snowfield.

And the mammoth is like a demon on this battlefield, directly helping the cavalry team to contain hundreds of horse thieves, but even so, from the perspective of the entire battle situation, this battle is still not optimistic.

The total number of individual units of the horse thieves is simply too high, and in terms of troops, they far outnumber the grain convoys.

Zhou Tong and Huke, the two hundred cavalry commanders, in the whole process of charging head-on with the horse thieves, can be said to clearly feel the advantage of the other party in numbers.
