The bows and arrows used by these armored cavalry are much larger than the ordinary two to three stone cavalry bows, often with more than four stones. The bow strings are mostly twisted with four strands, which are powerful and heavy. Many of them are fifty or sixty paces away. The fighting Jin knights were shot with an arrow, which broke through their armor and died. In only about a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred cavalry were killed on the battlefield, and most of the remaining ones were injured.
Liu Zhong frowned: "It seems that Lao Suo can't hold on much longer. Ah Shao, I have to go help first. You act according to plan."
Tan Shao nodded: "Be careful, pretend to be the same, but don't embarrass yourself!"
Liu Zhong smiled slightly, put on his helmet and mask, and his eyes were bright: "Don't worry, Brother Raptor has told me with his life how to survive the armored cavalry formation and rush out! Ah Shao, remember, Don't stop, find the right direction, wait for the enemy to shrink, and strike out with one strike. The target is the woods on the right."
Tan Shao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you take the first step, I will be there soon!"
At this time, Suo Miao's roar came faintly down the wind: "The enemy is strong, retreat, retreat quickly!"
Everyone looked around and saw that Suomiao's broadsword was already stained with blood, but the blade body made of fine steel had also changed its shape. Obviously, while killing enemies and breaking armor many times, the weapon also had There is a lot of wear and tear. This is also the time of hard fighting. Most warriors prefer to fight with blunt weapons such as maces and iron pestles instead of these sharp-looking knives. The reason is that steel is easy to break. Although The principle of ups and downs is that whether it is a man or a weapon, durability is the first priority!
Now Suo Miao could only drag his sword. He was hit by three or four arrows on his shoulder. Fortunately, they were not fatal injuries. More than ten guards followed him closely, waving weapons to help him. While blocking the arrows, he also fought with the enemy's armored cavalry who came up to fight.
More than 300 knights who were still alive followed Suo Miao closely and fled towards the right direction. There were more than ten teams of armored knights all in uniform. They wanted to come up and block this direction, but they failed. The archers commanded by Zhu Lingshi and others fired a burst of arrows like locusts, shooting more than 20 cavalry in front of them. Blocking the path for the following cavalry to come forward, they could only watch helplessly as the more than 300 cavalry broke out.
Suo Miao's men ran wildly to the right. As they ran, they threw away heavy things such as armor and quivers. Flags were also thrown on the ground. It can only be described as throwing away helmets and armor.
There were bursts of cheers in the Yan army array, and the sound of whistles and tambourines resounded throughout the world. This was the first battle that the Yan army actually won since the war started today, even if it only defeated five hundred soldiers. Yu Qi, Murong Xingzong's face flashed with a look of satisfaction, and he nodded gently. The two lieutenants raised their weapons and clasped their fists to plead for orders, and said to Murong Xingzong: "General, please give me an order. We are willing to lead our light cavalry to pursue these Jin cavalry and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Murong Xingzong shook his head, looked at Suo Miao who was fleeing at the front, and sneered: "It seems that the weapons and armor of this Jin people are really good. Their swords can break our army's armor and can also hit our army's heavy arrows." And if he continues to fight, it’s no wonder Liu Yu dares to be arrogant. After this battle is over, he really has to buy thousands of sets of equipment to make up for the loss of our armor and cavalry equipment in this battle. After all, Murong Guang and his Fei Xiong Division are completely finished , If we need to form a new army in the future, this equipment will cost a lot of money."
A red-faced lieutenant general named Harchi, who was the commander of the Pegasus Division, smiled and said: "General, have you taken a fancy to the armor of General Yokoye? I'll get it for you right away. This guy just He killed a dozen of our brothers. He was very crazy. He seems to be a fierce general of the enemy army. If he is captured and killed, it can once again boost the morale of our army."
Murong Xingzong waved his hand: "No, the cowards who escaped no longer pose any threat to this battle, but what can more than 300 cavalry do? Besides, they even threw away their armor and flags as they ran. As a result, it is impossible to reorganize the formation. This is not a false defeat, but a real defeat. After Liu Yu's tens of thousands of Jin troops are completely wiped out today, where can these few hundred cavalry go? There are still more inside Why should we care about tens of thousands of Jin equipment and armors at this moment? Now the enemy cavalry has been defeated and the enemy formation is wide open. Let me continue the attack. Kill the crossbowmen first and don't let them retreat into the chariot formation! General Harchi, go in person!"
Harchi's face was filled with joy and he saluted and left. The other one was Chi Laowen, a lieutenant in his forties, wearing a ram's horn helmet, who was the commander of the Flying Leopard Division. A look of loneliness flashed across his face, and Murong Xingzong looked at it. She glanced at him and smiled slightly: "What, are you not satisfied?"
Chi Laowen gritted his teeth: "The general should not only give Lao Ha this opportunity to make great achievements."
Murong Xingzong shook his head: "You will not be left behind. You and Harchi are both commanders of the same division. He will attack from the front, and you will attack from the side. The Jin cavalry just came out from a small lane on the side. Yes, you go in from that way, be careful not to get caught in an ambush, if there is no strong enemy resistance, take this path and directly penetrate the Jin formation, leaving no grass growing where our iron hooves step!"
Chi Laowen smiled and said: "I know that the general will not let us return without success. When will your Flying Tiger Division launch?"
Murong Xingzong curled his lips and said: "I will stay here to observe the battle situation and wait for the next order from the national division. Remember, after entering the battle, you must move step by step and fight steadily. Although the enemy is unlikely to have any mechanism to ambush, But still don't be careless. The cavalry is in front, the bows and arrows are behind. Don't chase the enemy lightly. We are only a thousand steps away from Liu Yu's commanding platform. As long as we don't mess up, I don't believe what else he can do. ambush!"
Chi Laowen happily accepted the order and left. Tens of thousands of armored cavalry from the two divisions began to form a strict formation, entering the formation from the five military gates like a tide. In front of them, Zhu Lingshi and his troops More than a thousand crossbowmen were desperately fleeing to the rear. After all, without the protection of the cavalry in front, archers fighting in an open space without cover would be destined for massacre.
Harchi took the lead and commanded the hundreds of cavalry around him to rush in from the main gate. While waving a copper hammer, he shouted: "Shoot the arrows for me and shoot these Jin troops to death!"
Following his order, the hundreds of armored cavalry around them all took up their big bows and fired at the Jin army's crossbowmen who were more than a hundred steps away. Dozens of Jin soldiers who fell behind, Immediately, the back was penetrated by arrow shafts. Often only the belt was worn, and there was no double-layered armor protection like the front. A hundred steps away could not stop the shooting of these heavy arrows. The sergeant who was hit would often shoot at him. He jumped forward a few steps and died instantly when he hit the ground.
