A blue tide began to surge, which was the Yan army's armored cavalry in action. More than a hundred knights in the first formation, under the command of Mu Yugang, formed a horizontal formation and came towards the Jin army formation on the opposite side at a medium speed. All the knights breathed calmly and moved calmly. After three hundred Bu Kuan rode forward, but there was a killing intent that made people breathless.
The afternoon sun shines through the clouds and shines on this plain that has been soaked in blood, with corpses of soldiers and horses scattered everywhere, and the remains of chariots. The armor plates of the Yan army's armored cavalry are shining, and they are hiding in the chariots. The long halberds held by the Jin soldiers after that, and the cold light shining on the tips of the halberds, complemented each other. Some of the sharp blades were even full of blood, and there was still a faint light of blood, and a rush of blood came towards them. The murderous intention permeated this land.
The horses of the Jin army began to roar. More than thirty horse archers rode forward, bent their bows and arrows. At a distance of about a hundred paces, they fired a burst of bows and arrows at the oncoming armored cavalry of the Yan army. Then, quickly go to the quiver, take out the second arrow, and shoot again.
The first arrow came head-on and hit the front breastplates of most of the knights. There was a "dinging" sound, and the arrows broke off their arrows and fell under the horses. Except for the armor plates of the three knights, they were shot through. Except for the arrows that were nailed to the body, all other attacks did not cause any substantial damage to these Yan Army armored cavalry.
Several armored cavalrymen of the Yan army wanted to reach for their bows and counterattacked instinctively. Mu Yugang's roar echoed in the wilderness: "No counterattack, maintain formation, and continue to move forward."
Those Yan soldiers who touched the big bow retracted their hands, and a deputy named Barhan followed and shouted: "The general has an order, no counterattack, stay in the team..."
Before he could finish his words, his eyes blurred as a second arrow flew towards him, heading straight for his right eye. He tried to turn around, but it was too late. This arrow shot directly with a "swish" sound. His right eye was pierced, and he screamed, fell off his horse, and rolled on the ground more than a dozen times. Finally, he kicked off his legs and could no longer move.
The knights in the rear team ran like lightning, rolling past the fallen Barhan. After a burst of crunching sounds of horses' hooves stepping on the armor and flesh, everything seemed to have returned to its original point, with three rows of tidal cavalry. Still charging forward resolutely, he was within sixty steps of the Jin army's archers. .
When this arrow hit Barhan, more than thirty arrows also hit the Yan army's armored cavalry on the front line. This time the distance was shortened by twenty steps, and obviously the power of these bows and arrows was also great. few.
In the first arrow just now, many of the archers of the Jin army did not reach the full string, and they mostly shot thin arrows to confuse the enemy. However, this second arrow was full of force, with a full string and a heavy arrow. .
Not only was Balhan shot through the face with an arrow, but others who were shot in the shoulder, chest and other places with heavy armor also mostly had their arrows penetrate the armor and enter the body. The five or six cavalrymen were shot in the vital parts like Balhan and turned over. Fall off the horse. Gu Feng
The other dozen or so riders were shot with arrows stuck in their bodies, and blood spurted out from the arrow shafts. It was obvious that considerable damage had been done.
Mu Yugang put down the riding shield in his hand. As a veteran with many battles and rich experience, he noticed something was wrong from the first shot, so when others were touching the bow, he held the shield instead, and his body He lay on the horse's back, minimizing the surface area where he could be attacked. Even so, two arrows hit his riding shield in front of him. If it weren't for the shield's protection, his riding horse would have been killed. His head was about to be shot through.
Mu Yugang's arms were also slightly numb from the shock. He secretly thought that this was the true strength of the Jin army's horse archers. The horses around him fell off their horses, and the sound of arrows breaking armor echoed in his ears. , he yelled: "Hold your weapon and charge!"
All the armored cavalrymen of the Yan army lowered their riding horses and let out a sharp roar. The horses that were originally advancing at a medium speed suddenly flew with all four hooves. That was because the spurs on the soles of these riders' feet were fierce. The ground pierced into their abdomens, and these war horses ran wildly in pain, causing the ground soil and grass to splash. Even some corpses still lying on the battlefield were trampled like bloody mud by these war horses. Thirty steps away, These iron cavalry rushed past almost in the blink of an eye, while the Jin army archers on the opposite side had just cocked their third arrow.
Hu Laoliu had just loaded the third arrow. After all, the second arrow had already required him to use all his strength. At this moment, his arm was still sore and swollen. Next, he drew the arrow, wound it, and was about to draw the bow. At this time, I only felt a murderous aura coming towards my face. The armored cavalry, which was originally sixty steps away, suddenly approached within forty steps. Meters long, it shortened the distance between the two cavalry even more. Coupled with the huge momentum of the armored cavalry's charge, it seemed that it only took a moment to rush up and pierce these Jin army riders.
Without saying a word, Hu Laoliu turned his horse around and hung the bow on the saddle. He didn't even have time to catch the fallen arrow, because he put his fingers into his mouth and let out a long, sharp whistle. The sound represents his order: "The enemy is attacking, the wind is tight, pull and shout!"
The moment Hu Laoliu turned around to mount his horse, his mount jumped forward like an arrow, as much as three or four steps, and then rushed forward quickly. Although his horse did not He is wearing armor, and he is not as heavily armored as the armored cavalry. This makes his galloping horse not have the momentum of shaking the earth, but it is also lighter. With a few kicks, he can leap forward more than ten steps. , the armored cavalry behind him suddenly maintained a distance of about thirty steps.
It's just that the companions around Hu Laoliu were not so lucky or quick to react. More than half of them were still loading their bows and arrows when they heard the scream, which made them not like the remaining half of the people. The horse then walked away, and when he raised his head, the enemy knights in front of him were already within thirty steps.
This was so frightening that six or seven knights froze in place, but the war horses sensed danger and death and began to jump and scream wildly. There were even a few sergeants who were not good at riding and wanted to turn their horses' heads. He turned around forcefully, but the war horse was no longer under control. It jumped and flipped violently, and actually threw these people off the horse. The dozen or so archers who were still in front fell into chaos.
There were four or five knights who knew they couldn't escape, so they simply drew their bows to full capacity and roared: "Shoot you!" Then, using all their strength, they shot the last arrow in their lives!
