Chapter 419: Ambush

As soon as the words came out, Mo Hun remembered something and advised: "Be careful, the enemy army has powerful bows and arrows!" ”

The Beihu cavalry was in full array, holding light shields one after another, protecting the vital points and advancing steadily.

"General, the enemy troops are lined up, and the number is about three thousand!"

When Pegasus returned, Mo Hun was ascending the high ground to learn about the enemy's situation, and was surprised when he heard the news.

"Break through the enemy army immediately, don't let him harass!!"

The Beihu soldiers received the order, and the killing sound shook the sky, rushing straight to Mu Lingxiao's 3,000 people.

Mu Lingxiao's troops were already approaching, and the one-line formation greatly increased the projectile area of the big bow.

When the two sides were sixty zhang apart, Yan Yun's iron cavalry released arrows one after another.

Under the frightened gaze of the Beihu cavalry, three thousand meteor-like heavy arrows crossed a strange arc in the air and fell into the Beihu army formation.

For a time, a large number of Northern Hu cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, and even heavy arrows penetrated light shields and light armor, shooting through the throat of the Northern Hu cavalry!

More than three hundred were killed and six hundred wounded!

"It must be this army that ambushed our scouts, immediately rushed to kill the enemy and captured the bow and arrow!!"

Sensing the amazing power of the big bow, the Beihu cavalry generals turned red in the eyes and approached at great speed to force Yanyun Tieqi to stop firing arrows.

Even the treasure bow in Mo Hun's hand probably only had this kind of power, and no one would believe that Da Zhou could make more such bows.

Three thousand treasure bows, coveted, once captured, will become the top elite in the Beihu army!

Yan Yun Iron Cavalry only released one round of heavy arrows, and Mu Lingxiao quickly ordered: "Fight and retreat to the east!" ”

With an order, the three thousand horsemen took Mu Lingxiao as the center, turned the horse's head on both wings, and galloped wildly, not forgetting to take the arrow on the way.

The pursuit of the Beihu cavalry was effective, and they were bound to seize the bow and kill people, and they pursued closely all the way.

The Yanyun Iron Cavalry had rearranged the array, and it was still a one-line formation, but it had been folded into a large number of small squares of nine people, shooting arrows synchronously.

It was another round of return fire, but because of the lack of accuracy, Beihu was only hit by an arrow again and fell to a hundred people, still in anger.

"If this enemy army is allowed to return alive, they will be able to kill thousands of ......our troops in the future with this bow alone."

Mo Hun, who knew the situation in the Chinese army, realized that the situation was serious, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Chase, beware of the enemy cavalry ambush!" ”

The two sides chased and fled along the river, and the Beihu people had left thousands of corpses, and the war horses had also lost more than a thousand, and they were furious.

The Beihu cavalry in front suppressed the fear of the big bow in their hearts with a roar, but because they were cautious with a shield for protection, they slowed down the pursuit.

These three thousand Yanyun Iron Riders have already changed to good horses in the Western Regions, running extremely fast, this way is like flying a kite, shooting while retreating, so unhappy.

When Mu Lingxiao thought that the number of enemy soldiers he led the team to shoot had exceeded 1,500, he laughed so hard that his mouth almost cracked.

However, the enemy has no choice but to carry out Liang Xiao's military orders cautiously, and he will never fight, and keeping a distance of 40 zhang from the enemy is already the limit.

The two sides chased all the way and finally reached the west of the woods.

Mu Lingxiao's team returned to the high ground, immediately turned the horse's head, and gradually retreated to the south side of the high ground.

The Beihu cavalry immediately pursued, and Mo Hun, who was in the middle army, looked at the grassland and ordered people to observe whether there were any Great Zhou troops on the shore.

The summer breeze blows across the grasslands, and it's a hot afternoon.

"Report to the general, there is no Great Zhou army by the river!"

Mo Hun was overjoyed: "The enemy army is coming from afar, and the horsepower is tired, so immediately change horses and chase them!" ”

The Beihu cavalry received the order and changed the spare war horses that accompanied them.

At this moment, an earth-shattering shout came from the east, waking up the Beihu cavalry who were on the high ground.

Tens of thousands of Liang troops rushed to the high ground, showing a semi-circular trend.

The heavy armored soldiers in the front row all wore foot armor and held large shields to cover the longbowmen and pikemen in the rear, advancing in a neat and orderly manner.

"How can there be infantry here?!"

The Beihu cavalry was all shocked and lost their voices!

Their scouts had clearly explored this area this morning, and they also sent scouts to observe by the river, until they encountered the stronger scouts of the Great Zhou and then rushed back to report back, calculating the time, the infantry should not move so quickly!

Before the Northern Hu cavalry could react, thousands of longbowmen had already made the first round of projectiles.

The arrows were like flying locusts, bringing up a continuous sound of breaking the sky, shooting into the approaching Beihu army array!

In an instant, the Beihu cavalrymen who were already tired in the front row turned on their backs, and countless people fell from their horses with arrows!

The Liang family's longbowmen and archers totaled more than six thousand, and they were specialized in aiming and throwing, and their power was far superior to the three thousand Yanyun iron cavalry that fired a salvo.

A round of strong shooting, harvesting nearly a thousand Beihu cavalry caught off guard!

The Beihu people on the front line were all shocked, and there was chaos for a while.

However, the infantry of the Liang army was still advancing, intending to engage the enemy and avoid the enemy's mobility advantage first.

In the face of this elite army like a god soldier, the Northern Hu cavalry, which was mainly lightly armed, still suffered heavy losses even if it was mixed with the Northern Jackal cavalry.

Without waiting for the Beihu cavalry to react, the archers of the Liang family army took arrows and threw another round.

"General!! There is an ambush of elite infantry ahead, unprecedented elite!! ”

Pegasus's urgent report shocked Mo Hun, who had always been cautious: "How is it possible?" It's at least forty miles from the enemy camp! ”

But the facts were in front of him, and Mo Hun couldn't help but hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Retreat and harass, and use the advantage of war horses to attack and harass the enemy army!" ”

By the time the Beihu cavalry received the order, the vanguard had already lost more than three thousand, and the rest scrambled to turn their horses back.

In the face of this sudden locust-like arrow, their light shields and light armor were completely useless!

For a time, there were countless people who trampled on each other by the two armies in front and behind, and the Beihu cavalry generals couldn't stop drinking and ran away by themselves.

The Liang family army occupied the high ground and charged condescendingly, and the longbowmen also went to the highest place with the advance, and the geographical advantage was more obvious, and they shot without mercy, and everyone had a bloodthirsty face.

"Exploits! It's all fucking feats!! ”

The infantry of the Liang family army fought with a legion, and the merits were evenly distributed, and every infantryman, including the forwards, only hated the father and mother of the archers for giving them three heads and six arms, and each worked harder than the other.

"Pay attention to efficiency!"

Liang Xiao found that the archers were a little excited, and hurriedly asked the heralds to remind them and give orders at the same time.

"The enemy formation is in chaos, and the whole army is assaulting!"

Mo Hun's troops, who wanted to attack by surprise, almost became a pot of porridge in the face of the rapid marching ambush of the Liang family's army.

Mo Hun was full of grief, but in the face of the current situation, he could only wait for the cavalry to regroup, and then consider whether to attack or retreat.

"I can't swallow this breath!!"

Mo Hun was so angry that he trembled.

The accompanying military advisor reminded in horror: "General, retreat!" It is impossible for the enemy cavalry not to be there! ”

The moment Mo Hun woke up, a flurry of horns came from afar at the same time.

The shouts of people mixed with the neighing of war horses, like a violent wind, actually blew the weeds along the way.

Yanyun Iron Cavalry finally fought from the east to the high ground, led by Liang Xiao himself, and launched a condescending charge.
