Chapter 219 The morning light shining in the dark night
Yao Jingshun looked at the camp in front of him with some surprise. Before coming, he asked Hu Qingzheng for the details of Liangchengang. After all, the Bijia Cavalry Commander had previously entrusted people from the Xingwu Hall of Yunxi County to attack this strategic location in Yinren Village.
This time, the black-armored man committed a crime and served as the vanguard general of the attack. He just wanted to win this tough battle to wash away the previous humiliation. Unfortunately, things backfired. Looking at the huge camp waiting in front of him, Yao Qijiang had the urge to scold his mother.
"Stop comers! This is the hinterland of Yinren Village. You and the troops who come here are enemies, not friends! If you advance even half a step, we will kill you!" At this time, a man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was hiding in the crevices of the camp wall. , leaned out half of his body and shouted to the man in black armor.
Yao Jingshun was already a little unhappy, but when he heard this, he felt even more angry. He laughed angrily and said, "Haha! You can kill me without mercy, but I want to see you kill me?"
As he spoke, he waved his riding whip, put his legs under his crotch and the black horse, led more than a hundred people under his command, and rushed over.
"Lift!"
Following the order, the hundred and ten black-armored cavalry all raised their demon-breaking crossbows and aimed at the camp less than twenty feet ahead.
"put!"
The black-armored cavalryman shouted angrily, followed by a buzzing sound like a wasp, and a rapid rain of dark arrows. Under the afternoon sun, they brought up a small shadow and headed straight for the Liangchengang camp.
However, these strong men were obviously well-trained soldiers. Following the flags of the flag bearers in the camp, those in charge of holding shields among the 100 teams previously divided raised their fine iron vertical shields and raised their own shields. He and his comrades behind him were tightly shielded behind their shields.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!..." With a heart-wrenching sound of gold and iron clashing, everyone on the camp wall escaped the baptism of arrows.
The fine iron vertical shield that the strong man held in his hand was made by a blacksmith. Fifty of them were previously stored in the arsenal of the martial arts field. After learning that his opponent had a magic-breaking crossbow, Lin Rufa enlisted the help of the elders. After the meeting agreed, they ordered people to make fifty noodles overnight.
After all, this kind of heavy vertical shield is a type of tower shield. It is mainly used to defend against the defensive crossbows on the local towers during sieges. However, each shield weighs nearly two hundred kilograms, making it difficult for soldiers to use it independently. Fortunately, the young men in Yinren Village are all martial arts practitioners. Any young man over the age of sixteen who has entered the realm of Qi can still use it reluctantly.
However, he cannot move long distances with a shield and can only stand on the camp wall to protect his teammates behind him.
…
After hearing the sound of gold and iron clashing, General Yao frowned. He didn't expect that the opponent would so quickly come up with the strategy of using a heavy shield to huddle up based on yesterday's battle. But in an instant, the man in black armor said with a ferocious expression: "I want to see how long you can hide in the turtle shell? Everyone, listen to the order! Ranger scatter!"
The so-called ranger scattering is an attack tactic commonly used by crossbow cavalry. Through the high mobility brought by the mounted horses, the mid-range attack advantage of the magic-breaking crossbow is used to continuously surround the enemy with shots. It neither sticks up to engage in close combat nor retreats to carry out long-range strikes. It just follows the enemy's flanks or behind to carry out mid-range precision strikes.
This type of tactical play is more suitable for enemies who have poor mobility but good close combat capabilities, or who lack mid- and long-range counterattack capabilities. As for the bunch of bumpkins in Yinren Village, apart from the outstanding cultivation of their soldiers, it has not yet been found that they have any elite medium and long-range attack methods.
But just as the No. 100 cavalry was moving against the camp wall, and just as they were loading the Demon-Breaking Crossbow in their hands, a familiar buzzing sound sounded in their ears.
Yao Jingshun glanced back subconsciously. In his mind, it must be his teammates who wanted to join the team after seeing him lose in the first round. It's just that the man is a little puzzled. The generals always have clear division of labor in this kind of marching. How come there are troops suddenly intervening? However, he could not mishear the familiar buzz of the Demon-Breaking Arrow.
Of course, it wasn't just the man in black armor who thought so, many of his soldiers also looked back in surprise. But at this time, someone shouted in fear: "No! It's the enemy's arrow rain, everyone... poof!"
I saw a heavy rain of crossbow arrows, knocking these black-armored men off their horses. Due to the overbearing power of the crossbow arrows, even the horses under their crotches could not escape the end of being pierced by the sharp blade!
After all, Yao Jingshun was at the level of a chivalrous person. Even though his reaction was a little slow at first, he still managed to knock away three crossbow bolts fired at him with his maces, killing himself.
Seeing that the people who were so high-spirited just a moment ago have now turned into mourners, the black-armored cavalry general was heartbroken. He quickly summoned the remaining dozen or so cavalry under his command and quickly evacuated the position towards his own army.
………………Dividing line………………
Yi Xifeng looked at the black-armored soldiers lying on the ground outside the camp wall and the horses neighing, and couldn't help but secretly gasped. Even though he had experienced many battles before, this was the first time he had seen such a large battle involving nearly a hundred casualties at the same time.
Watching the soil outside the camp gradually turn red, it was bright red, not the dark red as written in the book... The fair boy couldn't help but feel a little nauseous. When the thick plasma was mixed with various body fluids or brain matter... When the earth is flowing, it is difficult for you to feel much pleasure and hatred. What you can only feel is the fragility of life and the cruelty of war.
"While the enemy is retreating, let's go down and clear the area! Remember to be quick with your hands and feet and only use the magic-breaking crossbow!" Zhou Di ordered in a low voice.
This time there were twelve guards in iron clothes. Qingzhu simply divided them into three groups. Zhang Yanyan and Lu Huahua each led one group. After all, they were the newly promoted captains of the iron clothes and naturally had such qualifications. The other captain is Zhou Di, who is also very capable.
Yi Xifeng looked at Li Xintian and Zhong Lingxi beside him. It was obvious that they were the other two members of his group.
Miss Zhong raised her hand to stroke the messy hair on her temples, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"
Seeing the beautiful girl and Zhou Di jumping off the camp wall, the fair boy looked helplessly at Li Xintian beside him, who also looked at him, then nodded and followed.
Yi Xifeng took a breath, clenched Ye Jian Hanxing tightly in his hand, and followed him in a flash.
The young man couldn't help but secretly sigh: Sure enough, his modern soul is far worse than the people of this world when it comes to this kind of bloody war. In the past, when facing enemies, the young man could still use self-protection as an excuse. After all, the enlightenment of a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist can be integrated without much effort on his part. It's just that now Yi Xifeng raised his sword and fought for the war, he had not yet become a soldier.
