Chapter 203: Riding and Shooting Shenwei
It didn't take long for Qi Lang and the others to go around the forest, and soon approached the expected hiding place of the large army. However, as the dozen or so men carefully hid their figures with the help of birch branches, they found that the stunned young men had completely thrown the hidden orders behind them, and stood on the edge of the hillside one by one, looking down the hill with their mouths wide open, and even the sentry in charge of the guard, Padil, deserted, until the kick that Owu flew up and kicked him in the ass, and did not remember to lift his longsword again.
"We've just gone to fight for our lives, and you're on vacation?" Gulf grumbled, scolding.
Lucy heard Gulf's voice, ran over first, and gave him a big hug, which was a small return for his desperate efforts, but just when Gulf just wanted to further develop the affectionate behavior, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the top of the slope, and at the same time gestured to Qi Lang and them excitedly, and whispered: "Come and see, there is a good show to watch, you must not want to miss it." ”
Qi Lang and Ao Wu glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed in a few steps. Just below the hillside less than a kilometer away, there is a good show going on.
No wonder those Tiger Cavalry didn't rush into the woods to answer, it turned out that they were in trouble, a big problem!
Right on the edge of that wood, a two-sided situation is now taking place. The seven or eight hundred heavy cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry Army were guarding the west flank, slowly and steadily adjusting into an offensive formation, the crossbowmen had already retreated behind the iron-armored war horses, and those tall and sturdy pure-blooded war horses, the stormtroopers returned their swords and raised their iron spears, ready to launch an iron cavalry attack on the opposite side.
The group on the east side was only about three hundred men. The horses barely covered any iron armor, and while they were just as strong, they were noticeably smaller in size. The knights on the horses were all dressed in white robes, with a white cloth wrapped around their heads, revealing only a neat bun. It seemed that they were not archers or stormtroopers, or rather, each of them was both an archer and a stormtrooper, for each of them carried a longbow on his shoulder, and a full quiver on his back, but on the saddle he had a long sword lying horizontally.
It was not an ordinary long sword, although the distance was remote, Qi Lang could not see it clearly, but the length of the sword was roughly estimated to be about three meters, the thick and round hilt accounted for about one-third, and the sword body stretched out from wide to narrow, like a mixture of a sword and a spear.
Judging from the dress alone, this team of white-robed knights should be a certain ethnic minority in the East, although their faces are not very clear, their hair is black. This group of warriors is ready to fight, and despite facing twice as many enemies as they are, they still look majestic and fearless.
The big war was about to break out, and his team of people was staying here with the mood of watching a good show, Qi Lang really felt a little unhappy in his heart. However, just as he was about to give the order for all his soldiers to be ready for battle, Jira, who had stayed behind to teach Padil, finally followed.
"Oh my God, that's the rangers of the Dongyi tribe!" he exclaimed in surprise, "The Tiger Cavalry is going to be finished, this is really a good show!"
"Is that them?" Qi Lang's eyes lit up. He remembered that Mi Rong had implicitly mentioned in the letter that there was a powerful force entering the country of the East, and now it seemed that she was referring to this team, I really don't know why she sold such a pass, if she had already explained the matter clearly, she would not have been guilty of such a heart.
"Do you think the Tiger Cavalry is definitely not an opponent?" Qi Lang called Jila to his side, still quite uneasy and asked, "Do you see, the Tiger Cavalry is indeed well-trained, their equipment is not inferior even compared to us, and they are ready for battle in such a short period of time, which is also something that ordinary legions cannot do." ”
Jira nodded approvingly, but didn't negate his own opinion: "It doesn't matter. The Tiger Cavalry is indeed one of the elite of the Otto Empire, but I have read it in the book, and there is no team in this world that is the opponent of the Rangers when fighting on the plains. They are good at mounted archery, and everyone is like you, both capable of archery and amazing swordsmanship. They are the most agile on the battlefield, coming and going like the wind, and in terrain conditions like this, the power of mounted archery can be maximized. The brothers' attitude is very correct now, we should bring a few chairs, have a few good cups of coffee, and honestly watch the show. ”
While he was talking, the Rangers had already begun to launch!
The general at the front of the team raised his sword high and fell down sharply, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like popping beans, like a white whirlwind blowing on the flat ground!
The Tiger Cavalry also launched an assault at the same time. The arrows flew up from behind them first, and like a dense raindrop, they crossed the battlefield and whizzed to the opposite side. Immediately afterwards, the ironclad war horses collectively set off, lined up in a line, and greeted them like a black wave.
The rain of arrows arrived first, but no one was harmed. The swords of the rangers were light and handy, dancing in the air with clouds of white light, like wide shields, scattering all the arrows harmlessly on the ground.
The cavalry hedges of the two sides began to approach, and with only thirty or fifty meters left, the archers of the Tiger Cavalry had already stopped their long-range strikes, and the rangers were beginning to use their skills here!
Ride and shoot!
That was really an amazing skill, although the war horse was bumping up and down in the gallop, those warriors seemed to have already merged with the war horse, and no amount of shock would affect the accuracy of the arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh......
A series of arrows shoot flat, and the rain of arrows that come back is faster and more powerful!
The distance was too close, and the murderers of the Tiger Cavalry Army had no time to protect, and before the two armies could meet, hundreds of people had already fallen from their horses. Gaps immediately appeared in the originally neat formation, and although their impact momentum had not diminished in the slightest, the flaws had been completely exposed, as if a giant axe had broken its blade in the middle.
As soon as the power of the mounted archery was revealed, Qi Lang immediately agreed with Jira's judgment. If the Tiger Cavalry loses, it will be a torture, just like a one-armed toddler who wants to fight a strong man with sound limbs, and there is no chance of victory at all.
Sure enough, when the Rangers' warriors raised their strange swords in unison, their advantage had been completely transformed into victory!
Although the iron spear of the Tiger Cavalry is sharp, it can only show its power by stabbing at the enemy with the momentum of the forward rush, and under the impact of the arrow rain at close range, the momentum of the forward rush has slowed down, and after entering the hand-to-hand encounter, the spear is even more bulky, and the means of injuring the enemy are extremely limited. But the long swords of the rangers are completely different, they can not only stab, but also slash like big knives, just one time to rush over, the tiger cavalry has been put down dozens of people here, and the warriors of the Dongyi tribe have injured three or five people.
The most noteworthy thing is that the Ranger general was amazingly strong, he only held a common sword in his hand, but he shot accurately and quickly, and in this charge, he alone killed a dozen or so opponents. Looking at it from a distance, the age of that general should not be very large, and he is only in his twenties, but looking at his abnormal appearance of commanding Ruoding and bravery, he must be a first-class player who has experienced a hundred battles!
The scuffle officially began, and the Tiger Cavalry was frustrated, and within half an hour, about half of those villains had become battlefield ghosts. They began to retract their formations and changed to a defensive strategy, because if they continued to fight according to their previous tactics, they would probably be wiped out in a short time.
But their defenses are also clearly ineffective. The Rangers were precise and ruthless in their arrows, and their rapid movement made it difficult for opposing archers to accurately capture their targets. It was a one-sided duel, with the unstoppable intruder falling in a scream, while the white whirlwind of the battlefield swept around in a majestic manner, costing the opponent dearly with each passing effort.
The Tiger Cavalry began to retreat. The heavy cavalry of the stormtroopers disregarded the safety of the archers, turned their horses, and fled in panic.
The general of the rangers did not seem to have the intention of killing them all, but only gestured to his subordinates, signaling to focus on the rest of the archers, and he himself rode his horse and chased after him alone.
The scene looked a little striking, as if a team of people were running for their lives in a frenzy. The commander of the Tiger Cavalry apparently noticed this too, and the annoyance and shame carried him away for a moment, so much so that he angrily turned his horse around and drew his sword to meet him.
He paid the price in blood for his hubris. Although it was guessed from the sword he swung out that his combat level should have reached the level of a martial artist, it was still too far behind that young man.
Before the two horses could get close, the young man had already flown out of his saddle!
It was the Ascending Technique of a cultivator, and it seemed that he used it with ease. And the sword that he struck in the air was even more domineering!
Prosperous!
After the thunderous roar, the villain had been split in half, even with his men and horses!
And the warrior of the Dongyi tribe fell in the air, just fell back to the horse, stretched out his hand to lead the horse, and turned back proudly.
Cheers rang out from the ranks of the rangers, and the three hundred or so mighty warriors had wiped out the remaining remnants of the enemy, and now they all raised their weapons in celebration and raised their arms to their heroes.
Walking on the bloody corpses everywhere, the horse team went east, and disappeared from view in a blink of an eye.
