Chapter 477: Xuanhua Double Axe

Half an hour is actually very short, fleeting.

And when Qin Ke and Abu turned over and got on their horses again, the black-armored cavalry behind them was already fully armed, pressing the saber with one hand, and the crossbow in hand was also full of crossbow arrows.

Everyone was only half-full, for fear that eating too much would affect their sword wielding and horseback riding, and that they would lose the sharpness of their own army in a duel with the enemy.

At this time, there were three cavalry scouts in front of him, and it was not until they were in front of the two of them that they stopped clasping their fists: "General! ”

Qin Ke and Abu glanced at each other, both of them took a deep breath, and then pinched the horse's belly at the same time, and in a low shout, the two horses drove side by side, competing to be the first. The cavalry followed, smoke billowing like a soaring dragon.

Wang Xuanwei said that they are quicksand, scattered and unpredictable, gathered is tough and stable like a mountain, once it is overwhelmed, it will be like a landslide, devastation!

Qin Ke raised his head slightly, a loud eagle cry sounded in the air, and the two goshawks continued to fly forward, intersecting with each other, but they quickly staggered, and then, they circled in the air, as if drawing a big circle in the air.

Qin Ke's eyes froze, the war horse under his crotch was a little faster under his urging, and about a quarter of an hour later, the cavalry rushed out of the col and swept down from the hillside, and the Tang army below was suddenly in chaos.

"It's a black rider!"

"The Black Rider is here!"

Obviously, it was a Tang army of nearly 1,600 people, but these days the black cavalry is constantly attacking the grain team, and the news has already spread, although some generals have repeatedly refuted rumors that the number of black cavalry is not more than 10,000, but what is the situation? To deal with them, there is no need for 10,000 black horsemen to come out of the horse, and the 1,000 black cavalry in front of them is enough to be deadly.

"Can't be returned!"

At the critical moment, some people in the Tang army still stood up and roared loudly: "Array! Array! Those who retreat will be killed!"

The general of this Tang army was a burly man with thick and powerful arms.

Judging from his unhurried appearance, it is obvious that he has experienced a lot of battles and seen a lot of life and death, and the weapons he uses are even more amazing, not spears or sabers, but a pair of thick and heavy Xuanhua plate axes.

If you were an ordinary person, it would be a little difficult to wield one of them, let alone hold it and fight on the battlefield.

But this person wields it with ease.

Probably because he has the word double axe in his name.

Cheng Shuangaxe.

Even Qin Ke didn't know that he had almost a face-to-face relationship with this person.

On the night he infiltrated the Tang Palace, when he was still hiding in the case vault and secretly fighting with the two bandits, the "butcher general" who was valued by Li Qiuhuang did not participate in the military admonition for various reasons, and was taken away from the palace by the forbidden army in advance.

It was precisely because of this that he was not involved in that incident and saved his life and dignity.

It's just that after the war, he, the person who was single-handedly promoted by the lord of the country, was still not treated well by Yang Taizhen's faction, and this time he conquered the Mo family, although he joined the army, he could only be a small grain officer, and he had already held his breath.

Cheng Shuangaxe held the Xuanhua axe in his hand, and after slashing five or six Tang soldiers who tried to escape, he finally stopped the retreat of the Tang army, and in front of him, shields were superimposed on each other, forming a wall of steel and flesh and blood.

"The enemy is close!300 steps!Shoot!" Cheng Shuangaxe shouted suddenly, and the longbow and crossbow released scattered arrows at the same time.

At the same time, the black cavalry also raised a curtain of arrows in Abu's roar and headed straight for the Tang army.

Qin Ke's pupils shrank slightly, and the feather arrows on both sides reached the opponent almost at the same time!

Between the wailing of the war horses, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust, and the Bodhisattva sword in Qin Ke's hand was unsheathed, and three flying feather arrows were cut down in succession.

Although the shield array in the front row of the Tang army could resist the attack of crossbow arrows, nearly half of the arrows still fell into their formation, and I don't know how many people died under the crossbow arrows like this.

But the Tang army was not in chaos.

At this moment, the crossbow arrows in the hands of the Mo cavalry had already shot several rounds, and they had to be reloaded and replenished again, but the Tang army was holding a longbow, and in just one breath, they had already pulled the bow and wound it, and a rain of arrows flew in the air.

When the archers retreated into the shield array, countless spears quickly stretched out from the gaps in the shields, pointing diagonally forward, densely packed like a porcupine covered with spikes.

Qin Ke and Abu glanced at each other, as if they had made an appointment, and suddenly pulled the reins of their horses, and the two staggered, one to the left and the other to the right, and the cavalry behind them also split into two at this moment, following closely behind.

In a moment, the Mo family cavalry completed the loading of crossbow arrows while riding on their horses, while Qin Ke and Abu did not give the order to fire, but continued to rush along the periphery of the shield array, like the two black wings of an eagle, as if they were about to extend to the horizon.

"It's ...... I want to attack the two wings of our army!" Cheng Shuangaxe gritted his teeth.

But even if he had insight into Qin Ke's intentions, he couldn't think of any way to deal with them for a while.

The infantry under his command was only 1,500 people, and it was already to the limit that he could withstand a wave of frontal cavalry onslaught, and Qin Ke and Abu saw through his limit in just one glance.

"Change the formation! Change the formation! Respond to the enemy with a square formation!" he shouted loudly, but the army under his command was really slow, and the change of formation that should have been completed in a short period of time dragged on for a long time before it could take shape.

He lamented in his heart, knowing that he should be defeated in this battle, and there is also a saying in the art of war book that he rides on foot, but it is difficult to operate in practice, first of all, what he is bringing is not the elite heavy infantry of the Tang Kingdom, Shenwu Heavenly Army, naturally there is no heavy armor to resist the cavalry charge, and there is no such well-trained person who can quickly change the formation according to his military orders.

Moreover, his troops were insufficient, and it was difficult for a strong man to deal with a thousand black horsemen with 1,500 men.

Soon, Qin Ke and Abu had reached the flank of the Tang army, and this time, their crossbows were not a volley, but a continuous burst of arrows. The arrows fired in this way are more powerful and accurate.

More importantly, it can maintain the suppression of the Tang Army's formation.

Under such suppression, the last glimmer of hope for the completion of the Tang Army's transformation may also be annihilated in an instant, and in a few breaths, the cavalry has already rushed into the human wall composed of shields and spears.

The infantry was already sluggish in front of the cavalry, and the Mo cavalry was like two steel knives coming in from both sides, almost unstoppable, and their last point of battle intent that was forcibly lifted by Cheng Shuangaxe also slowly faded, and the entire formation was suddenly chaotic, and the soldiers fled in all directions.

Cheng Shuangaxe looked at this situation, his heart was annoyed, and when he raised his head and looked at Qin Ke from afar, he finally made up his mind, only to see him pull the reins violently, clamp the horse's belly, the war horse neighed, and the four hooves rushed towards Qin Ke arrogantly!

Qin Ke had just used the Bodhisattva Sword to cut off the edges of the two spears, but found that the Bodhisattva Sword was insufficient in the infantry battle array.

For example, the length of the saber will make the soldiers use it very easily, and a halberd like Abu can be danced between thousands of troops and horses, and although the Bodhisattva sword in his hand is extremely sharp, the length is not as long as the war sword, and the width is not as good as the saber, and he always feels lacking when slashing.

As he slashed out with a sword, the helmet of a Tang Army suddenly cracked, and a blood mark spread straight to the tip of his nose.

Raising his hand again, he blocked the surprise attack of the two spears, followed by the upper body and suddenly lay down, driving the half of the body to rotate with his waist force.

The edge was cold, and when Qin Ke's qi and blood poured into his arm, with a swing of the sword, a person beside him was killed by the sword on the spot.

Rushing all the way into the formation, he had already killed six people in a row, stepping on blood step by step, but this feeling did not make him feel half happy, on the contrary, it made him a little bored and frustrated.

But he also knows that if he wants to be a woman at such a time, he can only harm others and himself.

But before he could turn his mind, the sound of oncoming horses' hooves and shouts poured into his ears like a strong wind.

Cheng Shuangaxe, one person and one horse are like a raging wind, a vertical slash with the momentum of breaking the earth, Qin Ke just felt bad, and when he raised his head and blocked with the Bodhisattva sword, the sword body and Xuanhua Shuangaxe collided violently, and a loud sound of soldiers shook his ears numb.

The force was so great that he could barely hold the hilt of the sword in his hand!

In this vulnerable Tang army, is there still a master hidden?
