Chapter 387: Old Familiarity (1)

That's right! Facing the Jurchens, the three thousand cavalry who stopped between Pingzhou City and Haiyang City; To be more precise, it was a thousand Jurchens, led by two thousand Liao cavalry.

Hu Biao's tactic was to force them over.

Otherwise? It is said that their group of remnants were defeated, as if they had beaten 3,000 elite horsemen before they passed calmly.

So in a helpless situation, they can only use such a tactic:

Putting up an arrow array, a group of combat-effective personnel, in the front and on both wings, guarded the old, weak and wounded without combat effectiveness in a relatively safe position in the middle, and forcibly rushed over with the fastest speed.

If the personnel in front and on both flanks are killed, someone will immediately make up for it, maintaining the integrity of the arrow array.

Specifically, it's like the herd of antelopes on Uncle Black's continent that flee for their lives when they are chased by lions and other beasts.

Should I say it or not, for such a tactic, in fact, Hu Biao and other netizens are no strangers at all.

Because they used it in the breakthrough battle in Qiuzi City, as well as in the mission of Ban Chao and Ban Dingyuan in the Western Regions, and finally in the hedge with the cavalry of the Huns.

It can be said that this trick is familiar to you.

More precisely, what makes these goods familiar is not only the formation and details of the use of this tactic; There is also the kind of speed at which people continue to die in the process, and they are familiar in their minds.

But in the current situation, they have no choice but to rush hard.

That's right! Because taking into account the tasks at this stage, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo, Niu Gao and others, the system stipulates that they must not die, or a rigid requirement that the punishment for death is extremely heavy.

So when arranging the arrow front formation in advance, Hu Biao forcibly placed them in the inner circle of the formation.

In the name of letting them take good care of some of the old and weak and wounded, in fact, they did not want to join the frontal battle, so as not to die in such a ferocious charge.

At the beginning, Yue Fei and others were simply unwilling; But under Hu Biao's strict orders as Xuanzan, he could only obey incomparably.

It can be regarded as allowing them to let go of some worries and die with peace of mind......

In the case of everyone constantly whipping the war horses, the speed of only five or six miles, that is a few minutes.

It could be seen that under the dense sound of horses' hooves, the Jurchens had already sensed their arrival in advance and made relevant preparations.

Not only on the wings, but also with several squads of rangers cruising.

Shoot an arrow from a distance, trying to disrupt the formation of the arrow array.

The most important thing is that the remaining large number of cavalry of the Jurchens, directly in the position in front of them, have already laid down a cavalry impact formation that looks a little messy, but is very orderly.

Fortunately, there were no traps, tripping ropes, and rejecting horses, all of which could hold back the cavalry's onslaught.

Thinking about it, the Jurchens are currently at the time when their hearts are at their highest.

The siege may be a little weaker, but after the 20,000 men defeated the 700,000 troops of the Liao State in the field battle, the eyes simply grew to the top of the head.

I don't think that their 3,000 cavalry can still have an opponent who can match them on the ground of Pingzhou.

The facts are similar, Hu Biao and they were in their heyday, and they couldn't beat these Jurchen cavalry; It's just that they never thought about planning to fight the Jurchens.

And these Jurchens can't think of these guys in front of them.

In order to be able to escape, how firm the idea in their hearts is at this moment.

In the end, when the two sides were three and a half miles away, a loud bull horn began to sound in the Jurchen cavalry formation opposite.

In the long sound of the trumpet, the two thousand Liao cavalry who had surrendered to them were the first to move, and they outflanked the two wings.

A little later, the Chinese army of 1,000 Jurchens collided directly.

Since the defeat of the Liao army, the cavalry equipment of the Jurchens has been greatly improved, and there is a faint shadow of the follow-up 'Tiefutu' heavy cavalry.

******

Feel the cool night breeze, in the high-speed charge of the war horse, constantly blowing on your face.

Sitting on the undulating horseback, 23-year-old Wang Donglai, that is, the rookie who was summoned by the windmill on this mission.

Try to keep your waist straight, like a spear.

The reason is very simple, because after other rookies in the same period, such as wild ghosts, big fish, war dogs, Lao Tie, Li San, a gust of wind and others died in battle.

In the heart of this goods, I inexplicably had an intuition:

If no miracle happens, I'm going to hang up soon.

Even if he received some preferential treatment because of his poor riding skills; and Ah Fen and the stinky old fart, the two rookies, were not arranged in the outermost circle, but in a slightly inner position.

But inexplicably felt that he was going to die on this unknown windmill, and he still tried to straighten his waist.

Because in this way, he felt that when he died, he would look more dignified.

With such a thought, the Jurchens, who had been outflanked by both wings, were about to be stabbed obliquely when they saw it.

Then the windmill could hear Hu Biao's goods, shouting with an iron horn 'Raise the shield~', and under such an order, he quickly raised a one-handed shield to protect his head and face.

In the afterglow of his eyes, he could also see some soldiers and civilians in the formation, who also raised the lid of the pot one after another, or the half of the door panel with a handle, one after another.

Two seconds later, at most, a dense rain of arrows enveloped them.

And it rained like it was really raining, and it lasted for twenty-seven or eight seconds.

This is the position of the two wings, and the two thousand Liao soldiers who passed by them at a distance of forty or fifty meters shot their bows and arrows one after another.

Xu saw that they were on the edge of a turtle-like arrow array.

Everyone has a shield in their hands and a strong iron armor on their bodies, and the reason why bows and arrows will not be too effective on these people is that many Liao soldiers use projectiles.

Therefore, the windmill, a rookie who has received preferential treatment, is not in the outermost circle of the arrow front formation at this moment.

In a very short period of time, the shield in his hand and the armor on his body were still constantly rattling, and they were all hit by as many as one or two arrows.

Fortunately, it was not only he who was most worried about the fact that after the horse was hit by an arrow, the frightened situation did not appear; The sharp arrow that hit the armor also bounced off after hitting a little spark.

The war horse with four hooves under its crotch quickly trampling on the ground is still galloping forward.

It's a pity that some soldiers and civilians around him just don't have such good luck.

In the peripheral vision of the windmill's eyes, a wounded man who struggled to hold the lid of a pot was not too far on the left-hand side; The lid of the pot, which looked ridiculous in his hand, managed to block a sharp arrow that was thrown at him.

Even if the lid of the pot was shot through directly, an arrow came out of the old man, and it was successfully blocked.

The problem is that the dirty leather armor on his body can't stop the killing of sharp arrows at such a distance.

When he was hit by an arrow in his left rib, he couldn't help but shake his body in severe pain, and his body was not tied to the horse's back, and he fell straight down the war horse.

Before he could get up, several horses' hooves passed him on his back.

As for the wounded, why wasn't he tied to a horse in the first place? The reason is actually quite simple, because it is more harmful to be tied to the back of a horse than to be strapped, but if there is a way, it will not be done.

This is not! A seriously wounded man, who had simply not been able to rely on his own strength and sat on horseback, was firmly tied behind the horse.

Along the way, all the wounds on his body were shaken open.

At this moment, although he did not fall off his horse after being hit by a few arrows, he had long lost his vitality.

In addition, even more unfortunate was that a war horse was frightened after being hit by three arrows at a distance of up to ten meters from the windmill.

Even though the knight above tried to appease him, it was still the horse's head that tilted and collided with another war horse on the left.

On the spot, the two war horses just fell to the ground forward, not to mention, so that a war horse behind that could not dodge was also tripped on the spot.

And such a result means that the knight above is dead.

In short, in the time that lasted only twenty-seven or eight seconds, the sound of screams and the sound of the war horse falling down with a bang was incessant to the wind.

Finally survived to the Liao cavalry on both wings, after the two sides passed by.

In this breakthrough arrow array, not only did many people have more arrows on their bodies like grass, but more importantly, hundreds of people died in this short period of time.

It's just that now, no one cares about this.

Because when the Jurchens who rushed forward were about to arrive, a bigger crisis for them was just the beginning......
