Ciji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Crossbow Battalion did not pursue him.
It seems that in this ravine, the Crossbow Camp does not want to lose everything.
With a quick glance, he asked in a deep voice to the captain of the soldiers, Yundun Cisang: "How much was the loss?"
"Loss of twelve." Yun Dunci Sang replied respectfully.
Ciji's face was as gloomy as water. Normally, losing twelve would be nothing, but after a simple charge, the battle took less than a cup of tea and he lost ten.
If the other party wants to make a deadly move, the losses will be even greater.
Of course, the opponent may also suffer losses, but the Han people have a lot of supplements.
They are now the defeated generals. They are losing little by little, and there is no way to make up for it.
Boom, boom, boom, Yun Dunci Sang's face changed drastically: "General, the Han people are coming to attack."
Ciji's face was extremely ugly. He looked up into the distance and fell into deep thought.
"General, they are not Han, they are rebels." Yun Dunci Sang looked at it and his face lit up.
Although they themselves were rebels, they were asked by Lage to surrender the Tubo troops and become rebels.
Seeing that Ciji was still thinking, Yun Dun Cisang became anxious: "General, what should I do? You have to make an idea."
"They are using fatigue tactics and don't want us to rest at all." Ciji gritted his teeth resolutely and said, "Kill them."
Boom, boom, boom, the heavy cavalry was dispatched.
Boom, boom, boom, the light cavalry had already rushed over.
Seeing the heavy cavalry rushing over, Larigeyo's expression changed slightly: "Retreat."
They were light cavalry, so they could harass them, but they couldn't fight head-on. What's more, this was a valley. Once they charged, the result would be a fight to the death.
Seeing the opponent retreating, Ciji did not pursue him, but snorted coldly: "Let's go."
"It's not that easy to leave." Following this voice, there was another popping sound.
One of the rebels screamed, inserted an arrow back and forth, and shouted loudly: "Horse Rider."
Ciji shouted: "Kill him."
If he didn't kill him, he would only get beaten.
No matter how fast the rebel heavy cavalry ran, they were not as fast as the horse archers.
The rebels are armored and have strong defense, but they also have a weakness. Their durability is not as good as light cavalry and horse archers.
Now the other party is determined to pester them. They want to run away but they can't, so they have no choice but to fight hard.
Fortunately, here is a valley, which is only five feet wide, which is very beneficial to them. The Mongolian cavalry cannot spread out, and they can let the rebel heavy cavalry fight hard.
Boom, boom, boom, the heavy cavalry charged, charging towards the archers.
"Long live the Dharma King, long live the Dharma King." Ciji brandished a long-handled sword and shouted while charging.
Naturally, Gray Beard would not fight head-on with the opponent, but would retreat while turning around and shooting arrows.
Ding-dang-dang, clink-dang, most of the bows and arrows were swept away by the sword, and a few of them hit the iron armor, making it difficult to get in.
Puff, puff, another bow and arrow came, but this time it was not a bow but a crossbow.
Although many were shot down, 30% of them passed through their sword defenses, penetrated their iron armor, and stuck firmly on the rebels' bodies and horses.
The few who rushed in front had no time to defend, some were shot in the chest, and some were shot in the horses.
One of the war horses was shot in the forehead. The horse ran a few steps and the man and horse fell down together.
Ciji's pupils shrank: "Han Crossbow Cavalry."
"Retreat!" he shouted and immediately turned his horse's head.
He is not afraid of light cavalry, nor is he afraid of bow cavalry, but he is afraid of crossbow cavalry.
Although the bow cavalry is powerful, it is nothing compared to the crossbow cavalry.
Seeing the rebel heavy cavalry turning around and running away, Xu Te waved his hand and shouted: "Grey Beard."
"Nuo." Gray Hu immediately rushed forward with his bow cavalry.
Although the rebels did not have an advantage in numbers, they had one man and two horses.
In order to offset the advantage of the rebels, Xu Te implemented rotating operations.
Gray Hu followed the heavy cavalry and shot another round of arrows from his hand.
Although the cavalry archers did not have an advantage against the heavy cavalry in the front, the cavalry archers still had an advantage in the rear, and the rebels lost their sword defense.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen more rebel heavy cavalry were shot.
Although it doesn't have much impact if it's shot on a person, it depends on the location.
Two of the rebels were shot in the waist and screamed suddenly.
One of them fell off the horse, and the other hugged the horse's neck tightly, obviously losing his fighting ability.
Hearing the screams, Ciji looked back and was stunned. If he continued at this speed, his heavy cavalry would be completely lost in less than ten days.
This style of play is too frustrating and too passive.
If this continues, morale will inevitably plummet.
He thought for a moment and suddenly turned his horse's head: "Long live the Dharma King, let's fight."
"Long live the Dharma King, try your best." His subordinates shouted and charged towards the bow cavalry together.
With a clanging sound, the arrows of the bow riders were continuously swept away,
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the horses galloped and the snow splashed everywhere.
Seeing the heavy cavalry attacking, Gray Hu fired arrows and ordered: "Retreat."
Xu Li watched the rebel heavy cavalry approaching and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrows."
Ding, jingle, jingle, the rebel heavy cavalry waved their long-handled swords wildly while riding forward.
"Long live the Dharma King, long live the Dharma King." Ciji and his soldiers charged in front, shouting loudly as they charged.
Seeing General Ciji leading his troops to charge in front, the morale of the rebel heavy cavalry was greatly boosted.
The rebel heavy cavalry behind also charged and shouted.
After all, crossbow arrows are not ordinary arrows, they are extremely fast and more lethal.
Puff, puff, puff, although most of the crossbow arrows were intercepted, more than a dozen rebel heavy cavalry were hit by arrows, and a few more rebel horses were injured and fell down.
But this time the rebel heavy cavalry seemed to have no feeling and continued to shout and charge.
"Let it go, let it go." Xu Li kept shouting while shooting.
Puff, puff, puff, they were holding hand-held crossbows, one after another, shooting continuously.
During this period, several more rebel heavy cavalrymen were injured and fell down.
Ciji waved his sword wildly, continued shouting, and rushed towards Xu Li.
Puff, puff, a few more rebels fell down screaming. Ciji didn't care at all, he was desperate now.
Ten feet, eight feet, six feet, four feet, three feet, they were about to charge in front of Xu Li's crossbow cavalry.
"Retreat." Xu Li gave the order, and the crossbow arrows were immediately replaced by horse heads.
Although they turned their horses' heads, they did not stop shooting and continued shooting with the bows and arrows in their hands.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, Ciji did not let Xu Li and the others go, waving and continuing to charge.
The rebel heavy cavalry was not only fierce, but also tragic. Heavy cavalry kept falling down after being hit by arrows, but this did not hinder their charge.
Boom, boom, boom, snowflakes were flying, ice was flying, and the heavy cavalry was charging.
Boom, boom, boom, the crossbow riders continued to retreat.
In terms of momentum, the rebel heavy cavalry really overwhelmed the crossbow cavalry. One was chasing and the other was retreating. In this regard, the rebel heavy cavalry had the advantage, and it was a huge advantage.
Judging from the casualties, the two are exactly the opposite. The crossbow cavalry suffered almost no injuries, while the heavy cavalry kept rebels falling.
Puff, puff, puff, the crossbows kept firing. After running for about three miles, Xu Li suddenly heard a click.
His expression changed greatly: "The arrows are finished."
Although the crossbow arrows are powerful, they can only hold ten at a time.
After continuous firing, it was gone before I knew it.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows were no longer being fired, the captain of the personal soldiers Yun Dunci Sang couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted even more crazily:
"Come on, kill the Han people."
The other rebels were even more happy. Finally, when the Han crossbows were finished, their morale suddenly rose.
"Retreat, retreat." Ciji suddenly shouted loudly.
Captain Yundun Cisang was puzzled: "General, the morale is high now, and the opponent does not have a miniature crossbow, why don't they attack."
The other rebels also looked at Ciji, all with blank expressions on their faces.
"Retreat, retreat, this is an order." Ciji ignored it and shouted to his men.
"Do you think I'm unwilling to charge?" Tsukichi became anxious. Seeing that his men were not reluctant, he shouted loudly, "horsepower, horsepower, run now, there is no horsepower, the opponent's thousands of cavalry can only be wiped out."
Hearing Ciji's words, the rebel heavy cavalry suddenly realized.
Although the rebel heavy cavalry was not very affectionate, this reason was acceptable.
Boom, boom, boom, the rebel heavy cavalry immediately turned their horses.
Seeing the rebel heavy cavalry suddenly turning their horses, Xu Li didn't know what they were thinking and ordered to Gray Hu: "Attack."
"No," Gray Hu promised, leading a group of men from behind to pursue the rebel heavy cavalry.
Puff, puff, the rebel heavy cavalry became smarter now. As they retreated, they turned around and waved their long-handled swords to intercept the arrows of the archers.
The real threat to the rebel heavy cavalry was the crossbow cavalry of the security regiment. They did not pay much attention to the Mongolian bow cavalry such as Gray Hu.
After running for three miles, rumble, rumble, rumble, the sound of war horses came again.
These war horses were running slowly, and except for a few cavalry leading the way, there were almost no other people.
Not only are they unmanned, but they are also armored, which are the backup horses for the rebel heavy cavalry.
Yun Dunci Sang led dozens of his men, and suddenly turned their horses around again, brandishing their long-handled swords, and charged towards the gray-bearded bow cavalry.
The rebel heavy cavalry was charging just now and lost almost 20%.
Yun Dunci Sang was the captain of the soldiers and charged at the front, suffering even greater losses.
They used to number a hundred, but now there are only sixty or seventy.
Yun Dunci Sang didn't care how much his losses were. He brandished a long-handled sword and rushed to the front.
There are more than 120 gray-bearded Mongolian archers here, and they have the advantage in numbers.
Puff, puff, the two arrows were not intercepted, one was stuck on his horse and the other was stuck in his chest.
Not only him, almost half of his dozens of men were hit by arrows.
Yun Dunci Sang sighed inwardly, thinking: "Now not only the horses are exhausted, but the men are also exhausted."
The long-handled swords they wielded weighed at least ten kilograms, and some even weighed twenty kilograms.
During the charge just now, they tried their best to intercept arrows and crossbow bolts, which consumed a lot of energy.
But they had to do this. They tried their best to intercept in order to buy time for other rebel heavy cavalry to change their horses.
Seeing the glorious victory, Gray Hu was overjoyed. While shooting, he shouted: "Shoot the rebels, shoot the rebels."
"Shoot the rebels, shoot the rebels." One of his men also shouted while shooting, and his morale increased greatly.
Just now it was the crossbow cavalry showing off their power, now it is the bow cavalry's turn to show off their power.
Boom, boom, boom, more than three hundred cavalry charged over.
It turned out that Ciji and the others had changed their horses and charged again.
"Kill the rebels, kill the rebels." Ciji waved his sword and charged towards the archer.
