Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 172 Thirty Thousand Against Ten Thousand
Wuzhou City is not far from Shanwu City, 80,000 Ji soldiers rode fast for several hours, and rushed to the outside of Shanwu City at noon, at this moment the battlefield outside the city was empty, but the scene in front of them made the 80,000 Ji soldiers all stunned.
A Jingguan piled up of corpses stood quietly on the plain, the blood had dried up, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which could not be dispersed for a long time. Countless banners of the Hebei army were weakly placed on people's heads, soaked in blood, and a flag of the Northern Army was planted at the highest point of Jingguan, fluttering with the breeze.
The cold wind whimpered, and the noon sun was quite bright, but it was particularly dazzling when shining on this Beijing temple.
Zhao Hede, who was holding a spear, looked at the huge Jingguan in front of him, and trembled, Rao was like a murderer, and he was also frightened by this scene, and a deep uneasiness welled up from the bottom of his heart, he knew that this scene was deliberately left for him by the Northern Army. Because outside the Lishi Fortress many years ago, Ji Guo also did the same thing.
But it's not his Zhao Hede's army that does this, it's Li Mubai, the guard of Fenchuan County, who does this, what are these thieves doing in Yanmen County to build a capital view?
Zhao Hede looked back at the soldiers under his command, 80,000 soldiers of the Ji State looked at the huge Jingguan in front of him silently, the smell of blood wafting from it was disgusting, and the sound of vomiting sounded in the crowd, and many people were already sweating with their hands holding the handle of the straight knife.
Although they had fought with the enemy on the grassland for an unknown number of times, and had also experienced the sea of corpses and blood, they had never seen such a terrifying scene.
Suddenly, there was a slight shaking of the earth, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
Zhao Hede's eyes shot a cold light, and his eyes looked forward coldly, only to see a black line like a sea tide emerging from the sky.
10,000 Yongguo cavalry, dressed in black armor, with a black cloak with stripes fluttering in the wind. There was an quiver hanging on one side of the horse, and the quiver was full of feathers, and the tail end of the feathered arrows was also black feathers.
10,000 Yongguo cavalry, armed with spears, carrying steel knives around their waists, and 8,000 soldiers wearing scimitars on their waists, their figures rose and fell with the back of their horses, like a black wave gradually advancing forward.
This 10,000-strong cavalry was composed of Qin Ke's collection of soldiers who were good at cavalry warfare from the Northern Army and the county army, and the unqualified ones were eliminated to form this 10,000-person cavalry, commanded by Wumo and Wang Bo.
Zhao Hede took a deep breath, lifted the spear in his hand, reined in the war horse and turned around, looked at the soldiers under his command, pointed the spear in the direction of the Yongguo cavalry, and shouted angrily: "Kill them all for me!" ”
This Yanmen county guard knew that this Yongguo cavalry was waiting for them, and today's battle was inevitable, in order to drive the Yong thieves out of Yanmen County and keep Shanwu City, he had to order an attack. However, looking at the number of soldiers of Yongguo on the opposite side, there are not many troops.
The 30,000 Ji cavalry cavalry suddenly sounded a ghost scream, and as soon as the horse speed was raised, he began to rush towards the Yongguo cavalry with his spear.
Thirty thousand against ten thousand!
Wu Mo, the commander of the Yongguo cavalry at the forefront of the formation, shouted excitedly: "Haha, happy, Botong, who has killed more people than one?" ”
Wang Bo rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "General Wu, aren't you bullying people?" Since I joined the army, I have been a pioneer officer, and I have always ridden a crossbow, and after a round of shooting, it is a charge. Like you, you can shoot five or six arrows at a time. I'm going to lose if I'm compared to you. ”
Wu Mo pursed his lips and said stupidly: "It's boring, so let's act according to the plan?" ”
Wang Bo nodded, he waved his hand, the whole army changed to riding crossbows and riding bows, and when the Ji cavalry entered the range of the bow and crossbow, 10,000 Yongguo cavalry raised the bow and crossbow in their hands, pulled the string and set the arrow, leaned back slightly, looked like a torch, and the arrow was tilted into the air at the same angle.
The sky in front of Zhao Hede's eyes instantly dimmed,
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
A rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the black arrow tail fell into the crowd of the Ji cavalry with a murderous aura like a locust, and there were countless people who fell off the horse. Before the Ji cavalry could react, another wave of arrows came head-on.
Zhao Hede raised his spear slightly, knocked down the feather arrows that flew towards him, and still rode his horse forward regardless of it, he knew in his heart that at such a short distance, how many arrows could the Yongguo cavalry shoot?
After the Yongguo cavalry shot five waves of arrows in succession, the two armies were already very close to each other. Looking at the Ji cavalry who rushed over quickly, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and with a slight wave of his palm, the 10,000 Yongguo cavalry followed Wu Mo and Wang Bo respectively, branched along the middle, and drew two arcs forward from one left and one right, skillfully avoiding the charging formation of the Ji cavalry.
The Yongguo cavalry stepped on the stirrups with their feet, their legs slightly clamped the horse's belly, and their bodies leaned forward slightly, driving the war horses to accelerate suddenly, and at the same time, they did not forget to take out an arrow in their hands and continue to put it on the bowstring crossbow.
The war horses used by the armies of the armies in the north of Yongguo are all excellent war horses cultivated by the Yongliang Gardens, the horses are strong, the Kongwu is powerful, the explosive force is activated, the sprint speed is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it has been on the left and right sides and the Jiguo cavalry has opened a distance.
The Ji cavalry hit the cotton like a fist, but it just broke into the open area behind the fork of the Yongguo cavalry, and watched the Yongguo cavalry, which was only dozens of steps away from him, leave from both sides.
Zhao Hede, who was the first to charge, pounced and turned his head in astonishment, he had never seen a cavalry that could pull away so quickly, what did these Yongguo cavalry eat for the war horse? Doping? Oh yes, he doesn't know what doping is.
Before he could react, the Yongguo cavalry, who had already crossed the sides, once again pulled the string and put the arrows on the string, and splashed the arrows in their hands without stopping.
In just one charge, the cavalry of the Ji State had already paid the price of more than 2,000 people, some of them were covered with arrows stuck up and down, like hedgehogs, and some were shot off their horses, and the flesh and blood trampled by the horses' hooves were blurred.
Zhao Hede saw that the cavalry under his command suffered so many casualties, but he failed to give the other party a single kill, and he became angry at the moment. He instinctively pulled the reins, took the 30,000 Ji cavalry behind him, turned the horse's head, made a huge arc to the left, and turned back to charge.
Wu Mo and Wang Bo each took 5,000 cavalry, and after rushing through the formation, they continued to join forces, and did not look back, but controlled the speed, keeping the distance between themselves and the Ji cavalry within the limit range of the bow and crossbow, while driving the horses, while pulling the string on the arrow, turning back to shoot arrows at the Ji cavalry.
Zhao Hede looked at the Yongguo cavalry in front of him, he gritted his teeth angrily, his anger was off the charts, and his reason was directly burned by anger, he raised his spear, pointed forward and pointed at the Yongjun cavalry who was playing with him, and shouted: "Don't be stingy with your foot strength, rush forward at full speed!" ”
The 30,000 Ji cavalry began to kick the horse's belly violently, driving the horse to gallop at great speed, desperately chasing the Yongguo cavalry in front. But no matter how hard the Ji cavalry tried to catch up, they could never catch up with the Yongguo cavalry, but there were constantly cavalry who fell from their horses with arrows, and then were trampled into meat by countless horses' hooves.
