Song Mojie was very confused. This smile looked so malicious. An ominous premonition came to his mind. When he looked up, he saw the cavalry around him rushing towards the river embankment without any hindrance. It was less than two hundred steps away from the river beach, and it only took a dozen breaths to reach the river beach without any abnormalities at all.
At this time, Song Mojie couldn't help but secretly curse himself for making such a fuss. He was tricked by Li Yuan in the valley during the day and had a psychological shadow. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, more than a hundred cavalrymen who were rushing in the front row suddenly flew up from their horses, flew into the air quickly, and then fell to the ground screaming with their teeth and claws bared, and let out a terrifying roar. With the sound of landing, their mounts fell forward and rolled forward in a kneeling manner.
"There is a tripping rope! Be careful!" Song Mojie immediately called out the name of this kind of trap, but at the same time he called out, hundreds of cavalry were separated by the second tripping rope. One went up to the sky, and the other entered. On the ground, they fell one after another until their bones were broken.
No matter how fast you react, on a night like this, when the horse is accelerating to the extreme, it is almost impossible to avoid dozens of densely arranged trip wires. The Zhennan Army cavalry went up to the sky and into the earth in the same way, becoming unjust ghosts who cleared the stumbling blocks for the brothers behind them. But the brothers at the back obviously didn't thank them for their help. They fell into the long grass and had their mouths and noses sprayed with blood, but they were still trampled to death by the cavalry further behind.
Song Mojie's eyes almost flew out of his head, and his eyes were filled with anger, but the scene he least wanted to see appeared on the river beach. All the navy officers and soldiers on the river beach suddenly disappeared, replaced by rows of logs that had been erected. Behind each wooden raft, the heads of navy soldiers emerged together, as well as rows of arms with bent bows and arrows.
"Insidious thing, ****!" Song Mojie didn't know whether he was scolding others or himself, but he had no time to think about this issue, because the familiar sound of arrows piercing the sky had left him no time to think about it, and "ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss" filled the sky. The sound of arrows flying from the air sounded to Song Mojie like the sound coming from the mouth of a poisonous snake, making people get goosebumps all over.
After a hail of arrows, hundreds more cavalrymen fell off their horses.
"Charge forward and kill them all." Song Mojie shouted in a long voice.
Song Mojie could only issue such an order because he believed that even if he withstood the opponent's arrow rain, he could reach the river beach with his tens of thousands of fine cavalry. The opponent's archers only had time to shoot two shots from such a short distance. The wheel arrows will be attacked by the cavalry, and at that time they will only be slaughtered.
The Zhennan Army cavalry paid a price of nearly 500 people. Finally, despite the arrows, they passed through more than a hundred densely set trip ropes and finally reached the embankment above the river beach with difficulty. The gap between the embankment and the river beach was not big. It will not affect the war horse jumping down the river beach at all. All the Zhennan Army cavalry who rushed up the embankment also jumped down without hesitation.
"F*ck!" After the Zhennan Army cavalry jumped from the river embankment to the river beach, the scene in front of them made Song Mojie, who had just galloped over on horseback, curse these four words again.
Very simply, it was because the Zhennan Army cavalry who jumped down the river embankment encountered a trap again. This time it was not a trip horse rope, but an array of pointed upward wooden stakes scattered on the beach below the river embankment.
On the river beach under the river embankment that is two feet wide and several miles long, densely packed pointed wooden stakes are buried in the ground, pointed end upward, and covered with cut grass. It looked like a piece of withered waterweed growing under the night sky, and you couldn't see what was going on underneath.
The moment thousands of Zhennan Army cavalry jumped down the river embankment, the horses under their crotches began to go crazy. The sharp stakes penetrated the horses' hooves and legs, causing these horses to go crazy and throw the knights on the horse into the wooden pile array. Inside, he was stabbed with blood.
Although these sharp stakes could not kill them, they made a large number of cavalry lose their mobility. The tumbling and wailing people under the river embankment blocked the progress of the following cavalry. Many cavalry were unable to rein in their horses and rushed down the river embankment, and then fell into the middle of the crowd. In the chaos of sharp piles, it was impossible to quickly approach the navy on the river beach.
And the even greater disaster is that they have completely become the target of the naval archers on the river beach. They don't even need to aim. They only need to bend the bow and pull the string. At a short distance of only twenty or thirty steps, the power of the bow and arrow is enough to penetrate. Excellent armor, not to mention that most of these Zhennan Army cavalry are just light cavalry rushing into the battle, wearing
Naturally, it is not a hard armor. As long as an arrow is hit, it will penetrate the body to the depths of the body. If it hits a vital point, it will be killed with one arrow.
Just a few seconds after stepping into the trap of the picket array, more than a thousand Zhennan Army cavalry were shot dead with bows and arrows under the river embankment. The sound of wailing and screaming resounded through the night sky. The area within two feet below the river embankment was almost full of people. A slaughterhouse.
"Quick! Archers cover! Archers cover!" Song Mojie finally made the most correct decision at the moment. At this moment, only his own archers suppressed the navy archers on the river beach, so that the charging cavalry could kill them. around.
Some of the Zhennan Army cavalry on the river embankment took off their bows and arrows with their backhands. Although their bows and arrows were not replenished, they still had a lot of spare arrows, which was more than enough to suppress the counterattack.
"Buzz buzz" The sound of the bowstring vibrating is like the flapping of a swarm of bees. The condescending round of bow and arrow suppression had an effect. Although the navy had wooden platoons as bunkers, there were still overly excited navy archers who forgot to dodge. After a round of suppression, shrill screams erupted from the navy camp. .
This scream sounded like the sound of fairy music to Song Mojie. This was the sound he wanted to hear the most.
Moreover, in order to avoid the bows and arrows, the naval forces retreated under the wooden rafts, wasting a round of archery opportunities, while the Zhennan Army cavalry rushing down the river beach had already paved a road with flesh and blood and corpses to safely pass through the picket array. Hundreds of horsemen have already rushed through the picket array and rushed towards the wooden rafts of the navy. This is enough to show that the suppression of bows and arrows is effective, and all the casualties finally pay off.
"Kill!" Song Mojie raised his spear and shouted forward. The Zhennan Army cavalry under their command all let out loud shouts of killing and jumped down the river beach. Countless horse hooves trampled the fallen horses and human corpses on the ground, making a dull sound and the crunch of broken bones. Voice. These terrifying sounds were ignored, and their only goal was to rush towards the navy in front of them and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Song Mojie rode his horse and stood on the river embankment. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no fewer than thousands of his cavalrymen had rushed towards the navy.
By this time, the battle had basically been won. Although the navy soldiers on the river beach had already poured out from behind the rafts and gathered together to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, Song Mojie believed that they were just the weakest of their strong crossbows and that they were charging ahead of his elite cavalry. Under the circumstances, these naval officers who are only good at water warfare have absolutely no power to fight back.
Just as Song Mojie picked up the reins and was about to jump off the river embankment to join the battle, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting and screams coming from behind the cavalry team. Song Mojie subconsciously frowned and asked, "What's going on? There's something coming from behind. What happened?"
"It's all bad, young marshal. Enemy cavalry suddenly rushed out of the diagonal thrust, blocking the path of the following troops and horses!" A general flew over and reported hurriedly.
"Cavalry from the navy camp?" Song Mojie was startled, almost thinking he heard wrong: "How many people are blocking our army's retreat?"
"About... less than a thousand people."
"A thousand people can block the way? What do you do for food?" Song Mojie shouted.
"Come on, Marshal, they... are very fierce, and they all seem to be desperate for their lives. They don't seem to be ordinary navy soldiers..."
