Chapter 874: Iron Rope
If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost.
Su Shi understood this sentence very thoroughly, and all actions were done in accordance with this requirement.
Lou Yang was ordered to convey the order, and soon every soldier was conveyed, and then everyone began to make final preparations.
That is, the elite of the elite, they are also eager to make meritorious contributions. Especially this time, you can follow Your Majesty to make a move, and if you perform well, you will definitely be remembered by Your Majesty, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is that everyone wants to show their best side.
It's just ten minutes, and it's gone by in the blink of an eye. As soon as the hands on the watch arrived, the most elite cavalry of the thousands of dragon armies, there were tigers descending from the mountains, like monkeys who had been crushed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, completely liberated and scattered.
Thousands of cavalry, with a hundred people in the company, instantly divided into dozens of teams, and then suddenly appeared from both sides of Shuanghu Mountain, and then frantically advanced and advanced.
The sudden feeling of vibration on the ground made the Liao army who was retreating panic instantly.
Since the retreat began in the middle of the night last night, in order to rush back to Tongzhou City earlier, all the soldiers have not rested, and now is the time to be extremely tired.
Originally, I thought that as long as I walked another fifty miles and arrived at Tongzhou City, I would be able to take a good rest, but who would have thought that there would be an ambush of the Dragon Army here?
When did these ambushes come, and how much preparation was made? How many people are there?
The Liao soldiers knew nothing about all this.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
Coupled with the exhaustion of their original minds, their will to resist was originally the weakest. And it was at this time that Su Shi appeared with an elite dragoon, and it can be said that the timing was very good.
With the right timing, half of the purpose of the raid was achieved. The next half is to see how they can get into the enemy as quickly as possible and create even more chaos.
Yi Zhixian and Xiao Yuan, who were in a hurry, also did not expect to encounter the ambush soldiers of the Dragon Army here.
They did receive news before, saying that there were dragon cavalry appeared under the city of Tongzhou, but in their opinion, this is just a partial army of the dragon army, they are okay to engage in sneak attacks, but they don't have the courage to really collide with their tens of thousands of troops and come to them for trouble.
Unexpectedly, the dragon army was really not afraid of death, and it really came.
"Hold them off, they won't be too numerous, as long as we block their first attack, we'll be safe." Xiao Yuan in the Chinese army is worthy of being a person who has led soldiers, and the calmness that should exist still exists.
He firmly believed that the number of dragon troops would not be too large, otherwise, they would not have ambushed here, but would have defeated themselves with dignity and integrity.
Since it is an ambush here, there will not be too many troops. With this in mind, Xiao Yuan shouted loudly to calm the army's mind.
Yi Zhixian, who was already in chaos in his heart, heard Xiao Yuan's shout, and quickly reacted, and then shouted loudly: "Yes, the number of dragon troops must not be too much, everyone calm down, block them, and the victory will still be ours."
This time, there were still elite members of the Liao army who followed Yi Zhixian's retreat, and after hearing the order, they quickly reacted, and the five thousand cavalry who followed followed formed a formation at the first time, and then rushed towards the direction where the dragon cavalry came.
The idea of these five thousand Liao cavalry was very simple, first entangle the dragon army coming from the opposite side, and prepare enough time for the infantry behind them to defend.
The infantry is indeed the weaker side in the face of the cavalry, but if they are given enough time to set up a formation, relying on the advantage of numbers, it may not be able to give the dragoon cavalry much advantage. When the time comes, with their cooperation, even if it is a counter-killing, it may not be impossible.
The Liao cavalry recoiled, and Xiao Yuan also began to command the foot soldiers to set up a formation, and it seemed that the ability to deal with it was still good. But it's a pity that this time it was the dragon cavalry, or the most elite dragon cavalry led by Su Shi himself.
Whether it is the guard regiment or the cavalry of the black cavalry reinforced battalion, it is an absolutely absolute elite existence.
It is not an exaggeration to say, to
Their strength is no problem with being one-on-three or even more on the battlefield. If these people decide to fight to the death, then with these 6,000 numbers, it is also very possible to kill 40,000 or 50,000 enemies.
"Did you take the initiative? Very good."
Su Shi, who was riding on a snow-white war horse, was wearing a black cloak, and when he saw thousands of Liao horses rushing towards him, he was not in a hurry but happy.
Su Shi was really worried that these Liao cavalry would escape, and with the obstruction of these Liao soldiers, it was really difficult to keep them.
And once these Liao cavalry escape, they will inevitably become their enemies in the future, and it will take some effort to kill.
But now, these foot soldiers are willing to take the initiative to come and die, so they don't have to worry about escaping. He can deal with the enemy cavalry first, and clean up the slow Liao soldiers.
"Everyone, prepare the iron ropes and pack up these Liao horses." Su Shi said to the headset hanging on his lips.
This order also quickly reached the ears of all company officers.
This is the benefit of always-on communication, not to mention reducing the time it takes to pass through layers, but also to ensure that everyone is given orders at the first time and that all kinds of optimal preparations are made.
The iron rope that Su Shi mentioned was something that had just been exchanged from the system.
It's a long steel cable that doesn't look very heavy, but it's unusually strong, and it's covered in barbs.
Once such an iron rope is torn open, it will instantly become an iron rope that can kill people, if any of the Liao horses who do not have long eyes rush to this, it is guaranteed that the other party can be bruised in an instant, and they can regret coming to this world.
This kind of iron cable has been used for trials for a long time, and it has proved to be one of the best weapons against high-speed cavalry.
This is also the first time that Su Shi has taken out this thing, in order to give the other party these Liao horses a good look, in order to clean up these Liao horses in the shortest possible time, and to buy more time for the next heavy damage to the main foot soldiers of the Liao army.
Su Shi gave an order here, and the dragon army warrior on the horse moved. They divided into groups of two, and one of them, after approaching his comrade, grabbed one end of the iron rope from the side of the opponent's horse, and then ran to the side, and then the iron rope became longer and longer as the man left, until all of them were pulled away, and the two dragoons continued to gallop forward at a constant speed.
And invisibly, there has been a death fall between the two horses, just because the color of the iron rope is silvery, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't notice it.
The Liao cavalry did not know this, and their task was to entangle the rushing dragoons and buy time for their rear foot soldiers. For this reason, they did not really want to fight with the dragoons, but deliberately staggered with them, in order to attract the attention of these dragoons.
But they didn't know that by doing so, they were falling into the trap of the Dragoons, which was simply the result they wanted to see. Especially when I saw a Liao cavalry rushing through the middle of the two dragoons, I don't know how many dragoons had a victorious smile on their faces.
Liao Cavalry couldn't see the expression on the dragoon's face, and they didn't have time to look at it, they were beating their horses and walking away, trying to attract each other's attention. But in the midst of the impact, suddenly the body was hit by a sharp pain, and then the person fell from the horse in pain.
One, two, three...
But all the Liao cavalry who wanted to run past the dragoon had at least seventy percent of them hit, and they fell off their horses one by one.
This sudden scene will not be able to fix the other Liao horses.
What's going on?
Obviously, these comrades didn't do anything, and they didn't even have an enemy in front of them, so why did they fall off the horse?
Could it be that he knew that he was invincible, but deliberately pretended to be dead?
It's even more unlikely. Now they haven't lost yet, right? Why do you have to play dead?
Just when many people were still confused, more and more Liao cavalry were hit, and finally some of them endured the pain and began to shout loudly after being hit by the barb on the iron cable, "Everyone be careful of what they have in their hands
Hidden Weapon."
If they want to say that they have seen soil ropes, such as on the grassland, many people like to use soil ropes when riding wild horses. Continuing on, it's not impossible to set people.
But they have never seen the use of steel ropes to harvest human lives. This is mainly due to the fact that there were not many iron tools at that time, and if there were any, they would be made into weapons, so where did they have the spare time to make such weapons?
With limited resources, imagination is naturally limited.
Ignorance made them make a big mistake, and when this voice with a hidden weapon was shouted, the cavalry of the Liao army had fallen by at least five hundred.
Ichisei was gone.
And now I only know that there is a hidden weapon, but as for what it is, there are still many Liao Riders who have not figured it out.
Unknown weapons are the most terrifying.
After figuring out what the hidden weapon of the dragoon army was, many Liao cavalry showed timidity on their faces.
They have been systematically trained, and they are not afraid of death in their hearts. But if they don't know how to die in vain, it's not what they want.
"Kill!"
The Liao cavalry was a little stagnant, and before they couldn't figure out the situation of the dragoons, they didn't want to move rashly, but at this time, Su Shi seized the opportunity, gave an order, took the lead in taking out the eight consecutive rounds on his body, and began to shoot from a distance.
I didn't use eight consecutive rounds before, because I was afraid that the Liao cavalry would be too far away from them and the range would not be within reach.
But now, since the Liao cavalry has rushed in front of him, it is the time for Lian Crossbow to show his might.
One by one, the iron cables were put away, and then there was a scene of arrows raining down, and when they fell on the Liao cavalry not far away, their fighting spirit was completely dissipated.
