when!
At the same time, a deafening crash sounded. It was Wan Qiuqing who hit a crossbow arrow with his blue and white sword, but she actually blocked the crossbow arrow in front of her. It was a pity that the horse under her crotch could not withstand the fierce collision force, and fell to the ground with a bang amidst a series of bones bursting sounds, and died with blood flowing from its orifices.
At the same time, another crossbow arrow grazed Niu Dawa's backward forehead. Although the arrow did not touch Niu Dawa's skin, the violent force carried by the light arrow tore the skin of Niu Dawa's forehead. , blood flowed in an instant, and his face turned red.
Niu Dawa was almost frightened, her heart was so stuck in her throat that she forgot about her heartbeat. She was stunned for several breaths before she hurriedly covered her injured forehead with blue demonic fire to repair the wound. Fortunately, the crossbow arrow deflected upwards, otherwise his head would have been exploded.
Although Wan Qiuqing blocked a crossbow arrow with her own strength, she looked mighty and domineering, but her face lost color, which showed that it was not easy to block this arrow. And she was secretly glad that the other party used an octagonal heavy crossbow instead of an octagonal immortal-killing heavy crossbow. Otherwise, there would be no time to react at such a close distance.
Zhao Quan jumped up into the air to catch Zhang Xiaopeng who was knocked away by the crossbow arrow, but was knocked backwards together. It was not until two more people came up that he could stop him.
Zhang Xiaozu suppressed the blood that rushed to his throat, took out a bottle of Xugushengji pills from his arms and took two pills. His bones were cracked by the shock. He found that the long sword in his hand was still intact after being hit by a crossbow arrow. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, it's a precious sword, otherwise my life would have been over!"
Bang——
Three hundred steps ahead and to the left and right, dust suddenly rose up in the sky, and soldiers with big teeth jumped out from under the dry loess ground. It was estimated that there were more than 2,000 soldiers.
As soon as more than two thousand people emerged from the soil, they immediately drew their bows and set arrows.
The intensive trembling sound of bowstrings made Zhang Xiaopou's scalp numb. He had just seen the terrifying power of arrow rain not long ago, and he never expected to taste it for himself so soon.
At the same time, what is even more terrifying is the squeaking sound of the octagonal heavy crossbow string turning.
"Kill out!" Zhang Xiaopeng turned back and rushed back on his horse, roaring angrily and rushing towards the east.
Wan Qiuqing jumped on the back of an empty horse, rushed to the front of the team in a few breaths, and shouted sternly: "Leave the front to me, you should pay attention to block the arrows behind you!"
"Okay!" Zhao Quan responded, and then gave an order, and everyone immediately fell back on their horses, preparing to block the arrows coming from behind.
"I'll do it!" Niu Dawa roared angrily. The wind rose from the ground and threw up the dust in the sky towards the enemies in front and on the left, blocking their sight. At the same time, the earth domain spread out and two earth walls were pulled up. Rise from the ground.
Ding ding ding——
Arrows rained from the sky, but most of them landed on Niu Dawa's earthen wall. The two earthen walls were as hard as iron plates, and the arrows on them made the tinkling sound of gold and iron, because these were not ordinary earthen walls, but earthen walls that combined the realm of gold, and were invulnerable and hard.
"Awesome!" Zhou Jianlai praised when he saw this. He not only praised the earth wall for its power, but also praised Niu Dawa for comprehending two elemental fields.
However, the two earthen walls only supported for a few breaths before they collapsed. After all, they were not ordinary arrows, but arrows from a strong bow carrying true energy. Thousands of them came together, and Niu Dawa couldn't bear it at all.
However, even though he only had a few breaths, he was able to block the most ferocious wave of arrows. The remaining scattered arrows were blocked by everyone waving their weapons.
"Bow!" Zhao Quan ordered.
Everyone immediately sheathed their swords, picked up the strong bow hanging on the horse's belly, took out the armor-piercing arrows in the quiver, and opened the bow to nock the arrow.
"!"
Five hundred armor-piercing arrows shot out at the same time. Although they did not cause huge damage to the enemy, they suppressed the enemy's second wave of arrow rain attacks.
The five hundred soldiers moved skillfully and freely on horseback, and their superb riding skills made Niu Dawa couldn't help but raise his thumb and praise: "Awesome. Awesome."
At the same time, Wan Qiuqing blocked the rain of arrows from the five or six hundred tooth troops in front of her with one person's power, but it was not difficult at all. As soon as the rain of arrows reached a hundred steps in front of her, they all sank to the ground.
Still two hundred steps away, she suddenly flew forward and rushed into the enemy's formation across a distance of two hundred steps in an instant. Her blue and white sword flew up and down, causing the Big Ya army to break up and run away.
A half-step powerful person cannot be stopped by hundreds of people.
"Crossbow, be careful!" Zhang Xiaozu's urgent roar suddenly rang in everyone's ears. As if he had the ability to foresee, his warning sound was actually two breaths in advance.
Woo——
The harsh sound of crossbow arrows tearing through the air suddenly sounded again.
Three huge crossbow arrows fired from above the horse's back. There was no one on the horse. The moment they heard Zhang Xiaopawn's warning sound, they all slipped under the horse's belly and hid.
This is the simplest and most effective way to avoid enemy arrows or crossbows on the battlefield.
"Haha, it's so cool!" Zhao Quan rolled back from the horse's belly and couldn't help but laugh loudly. The feeling of successfully dodging the octagonal heavy crossbow arrows on the verge of death was so exciting.
The enemy formation in front has been wiped out by Wan Qiuqing alone.
The team rushed forward in the blink of an eye.
"Gun!" Zhao Quan ordered.
Everyone drew back their bows and held their guns, pointing the spears forward, turning their arms inward, holding the handles of the guns with their palms upward, and holding the tails of the guns under their armpits.
boom!
Five hundred cavalry rushed into the scattered enemy formation like a torrent of dikes. Their spears penetrated the enemies blocking the road ahead and directly picked up their bodies. Some people even shot through several people, like skewers of candied haws.
The iron cavalry trampled over them, and only a few of the five or six hundred Daya soldiers survived.
Rumble——
After blocking another wave of arrow attacks, the five hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the Daya Army's ambush circle and walked away in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Asshole! Damn it!" Commander Daya looked at the cavalry's retreating back, his face turned livid with anger. He never expected that the two rounds of three octagonal heavy crossbows could not leave a single corpse of the enemy. He secretly hated it in his heart. If he had known that the other party was coming, he would have placed an eight-pointed Immortal Killing Crossbow here waiting for him.
However, compared to Wan Qiuqing, the half-step master, it was Zhang Xiaopou who made him pay more attention. If Zhang Xiaopou had not given advance warning and ordered to stop advancing three hundred steps away, he would have waited for the enemy to approach another hundred steps before attacking. At a distance of two hundred steps, even a half-step would result in blood splattering on the spot.
Zhang Xiaozu's second warning made him even more shocked, because Zhang Xiaozu's warning sound came out at the same time as his order to fire, and it was even half a beat faster than his voice. When the crossbowman heard the order and pulled the trigger, the opponent shrank under the horse's belly and hid at the same moment, causing all the crossbow arrows to be empty.
He didn't understand how Zhang Xiaopou did it. Was it a coincidence, a fighting instinct, or a deliberate decision? If it is the last one, then this person is a bit scary.
However, looking at the back of Zhang Xiaozu and others fleeing eastward, the anger and depression on his face were quickly replaced by a sneer, and he said to himself: "It is better to die here than to fall into the hands of Madman Fang."
At ten o'clock in the evening, after confirming that the Daya Army had not caught up, Zhang Xiaopou found a relatively secluded place and ordered to rest.
The old rule is to take care of the war horses first, and then solve the problem of eating, drinking and urinating.
Niu Dawa called a few people, ran away with the raw horse legs, found a corner of the corner that blocked the view, used the domain of fire to roast all the horse legs, and came back to give everyone a large piece of fragrant meat. bake.
"Pawn, why don't we break out to the west?" After eating the dry food, Wan Qiuqing finally asked out the doubts he had been holding in his stomach.
According to the battle plan made in advance, they should go northwest along the official road, but now they are escaping toward the northeast, which happens to be the completely opposite direction.
According to the situation at that time, there were ambushes on the east and west sides, and the number of people in the ambush was about the same, so it was completely possible to choose to break out to the west.
Zhang Xiaozhu frowned when he heard this and replied: "For some reason, the west makes me feel nervous, as if there is a great danger waiting for us there. I didn't have time to think about it at the time, so I followed my intuition and chose to break out to the east."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaopou turned his gaze to the western night sky and murmured: "I wonder if the large army was also ambushed?"
Wan Qiuqing nodded, finally clearing up his doubts. He couldn't help but follow Zhang Xiaopou's gaze to the west and said, "I feel like they were lying in wait there early in the morning, waiting for us to fall into our trap. They It seems that you have expected that we will come and take this official road?"
"They couldn't have organized an ambush after they learned that we had broken through the blockade, because with our marching speed, they had no time to react. In other words, they expected that we would come to rescue the left army, so they planned to attack various routes in advance. An ambush is set on the road." Zhang Xiaozu analyzed, then looked at Zhao Quan and asked: "How many soldiers and horses can be ambushed by two thousand strong bows and three heavy octagonal crossbows?"
Zhao Quan stretched out a finger, opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Ten thousand!"
"Ah?!" Zhang Xiaozu looked surprised, thinking that Zhao Quan had said something wrong, or that he had heard something wrong.
Zhao Quan smiled and said: "The enemy is so hidden. If I were to lead the team, I would probably run into the enemy's arms. Think about it, what would it be like if we went two hundred steps further?"
"With a distance of a hundred steps, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the attack of the octagonal heavy crossbow." Wan Qiuqing said.
"I don't have time to block the arrow with my sword." Zhang Xiaopeng said.
Zhao Quan spread his hands and said: "So, if we rush into the enemy's ambush circle, three of our generals will be killed instantly, followed by a rain of more than 2,000 strong bows and arrows. In one round, we will lose at least more than a thousand people." .The team without command is like a headless fly, and it will definitely not be able to organize an effective breakout in a short period of time. At this time, the enemy's second, third, and fourth wave of arrows will follow, and then they will encircle and kill. With better command, it would be easy to annihilate ten thousand people."
What Zhao Quan said was very visual. While Zhang Xiaozu and the others were listening, the corresponding pictures appeared in their minds, giving them a sense of déjà vu as if they were catching a turtle in a urn.
"Ten thousand cavalry are charging all the way. How can they stop them with just a few people?" Niu Dawa shook his head and disagreed.
"If I'm not wrong, there will definitely be a horse trap if you go two hundred steps forward. If you rush forward, you will die faster." Zhao Quan sneered.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said, "I stopped the team from advancing because I noticed something unusual on the ground two hundred steps ahead."
"That is to say, they at least followed the ambush they set up to deal with seven or eight thousand troops." Wan Qiuqing said in a deep voice. He couldn't help but look to the west, worried about the large army led by Li Haotian.
There is no one in his team who can detect the enemy's well-camouflaged ambush circle from a distance like Zhang Xiaopou, and there is no one who can withstand the crossbow arrows like her. Da Neng, if he encounters an ambush, if he plunges into the enemy's ambush like Zhao Quan said, the consequences will be disastrous.
To the northwest of Feiyu Prefecture, a group of people hid in a forest under the cover of darkness.
Li Haotian's silver armor was stained with blood, and he looked like a bloody man. He held a spear and fell from the sky into the woods. He lowered his voice and said: "The enemy has not caught up. Adjutant, please count the casualties. How many people and horses are there?"
After half a cup of tea, the adjutant returned and said in a low voice: "There are still 1,022 people and 904 horses. We suffered heavy casualties in this battle."
Li Haotian nodded. The casualties were about the same as he had estimated in his mind. He looked worriedly at the eastern night sky and said, "I wonder how Madam's situation is? I hope that boy can handle it."
When the adjutant heard this, he was also worried and said: "With the intensity of the enemy's ambush, I'm afraid that five hundred people on horseback--"
I'm afraid he didn't say anything, but Li Haotian knew what he wanted to say.
