Chapter 1019 Invincible Bow Horse VS Iron Cavalry Charge Three
The drums were getting louder and louder, echoing over the "Thousand-First Battlefield". Now the drummers on both sides of the Song and Liao dynasties were beating the drums with all their strength. A tight sound like a tide was the order to launch an attack!
The 900 cavalry under Wu Tian also began to run slowly. Yes, they just ran slowly, and there was no intention of gradually accelerating.
Because Wu Tian did not intend to launch an attack. He took the telescope to the battlefield, so it was clear that the Khitan cavalry hundreds of steps away did not charge with guns, but held the stubborn sheep's horn bow in his hand.
This shows that the Khitan cavalry on the opposite side will avoid contact with the Song army cavalry. Instead, they will run around the Song army cavalry, and may disperse the formation and run away when necessary. Wu Tian is actually a slogan. He grew up on the grassland and is very clear about the flexibility of the grassland cavalry. It is difficult for them to catch, although once they are caught, they can stab them to death with a spear! However, it is difficult to catch before their horsepower is exhausted.
So Wu Tian simply used riding and shooting to deal with the Khitans!
Isn’t it just a cavalryman? Although some newly enlisted heavy cavalrymen do not have this ability, they were brought to the battlefield by Wu Tian today, all of them are veterans, skilled in bows and horses, and they are definitely not under the Khitan.
Moreover, they also have a trump card that the Khitans do not have! They are 36 scary artifact crossbows that have been set up on the battlefield!
Wu Tian also led the team to the front, just like Xiao Pusannu. Because he fought with cavalry, the nine square formations he led had become vertically arranged, one followed the other, advancing westward at a fast speed. However, he did not rush towards the large group of Khitan cavalry coming from west to east, but instead advanced parallel to them. The distance between the two "parallel lines" was about thirty or forty steps.
He actually wanted to compete with us Khitans to ride and shoot! He took the lead and Xiao Bossanu, who was running in front of a thousand Khitan cavalry, could see clearly, and felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
Compared to rushing to the formation with a gun, the Khitan cavalry is a little scared now. But compared to catching and shooting, haha, men on the grassland have been shooting and riding horses since they were young!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw something flying towards him. It seemed to be a feather arrow, but it seemed to be much bigger than a feather arrow!
Xiao Bodhisattvanu hurriedly leaned over the horse's back, not knowing if there were any "large feather arrows" flying over his body, but there was a scream of people and the neighing of horses in his ears, and the sound of objects hitting the ground. He quickly looked back and found that the group of Khitan cavalry behind him was a little confused, as if someone was caught, and the horses fell to the ground, and a few war horses without their masters were ramming around.
The Song people should be firing giant arrows with the Eight-Cow Crossbow!
Bodhisattva Xiao immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't take it too seriously. Just the Eight Niu Crossbow, how many people can be shot to death? He can bring 1,000 Khitan heroes with him!
Thinking of this, he didn't think much about the Baniu Crossbow. He just controlled the horse and moved forward carefully, and at the same time he had to keep a good distance from the Song cavalry...
Boom! Boom...
When he was about to launch a fire with more than a thousand riders from the other side, a thunderous sound suddenly came from behind Xiao Bodhisattva!
What's going on? Xiao Bossa Nu was stunned again, and didn't care that he would soon enter the opponent's horn bow range. He immediately turned around on the horse's back and looked back. He found that fireballs suddenly rose from the group of cavalry behind him! The horse team, which was already chaotic, was now in a mess.
Is it a thunderbolt fireball? This is too much noise, right?
Xiao Bodhisattva Nu is not an inexplicable Krakhan Knight. Of course, he knew that the fireball was not a black magic, but a gunpowder weapon. But the power of this explosion was a bit scary no matter how you look at it!
Scary...not good!
Thinking of being scary, Xiao Bodhisattva Nu suddenly remembered that he was leading his troops to fight with the Song knights! He was about to shoot. How could he do this? The Song people's thunder fire not only scares people, but also scares horses! Many war horses were frightened and ran around the battlefield, which not only made the knights riding on them unable to shoot arrows, but also the cavalry around him had to carefully control the war horses to dodge.
When the cavalry led by Xiao Bossanu was beaten into chaos by a burst of explosion rockets, a team of 100 people led by Wu Tian had already started shooting arrows.
It is not a simple task to shoot arrows on a running war horse, because when shooting archery, you must break away with your hands and control the horse with both legs. Unless the team has reached a very tacit level of coordination, the arrows that can barely be shot out have no accurate headlines.
Moreover, archery shooting on horseback must be continuous shooting. Because war horses and knights are actually quite big targets, the effective range of the horse bow is usually not as good as that of the arch bow. They take such a great risk to approach the enemy (usually infantry, but also require the time for cavalry to shoot). Of course, they also pursue the most arrows in the shortest time. If they only shoot one arrow after rushing for a long time, they will be devastated.
For Wu Tian and his subordinates, it is the best fighter jet now. Because of the disruption of the explosion rockets, the enemy's cavalry has become in chaos, and there is definitely no way to fight back with a powerful attack.
So Wu Tian and the others no longer preserved their strength, and they all tried their best to launch arrowheads with buffalo horn bows! They did not shoot people, but shot at the enemy's war horses, and immediately shot many Khitan knights.
"Blow the horn and retreat!"
Yelu Zhangnu had already stood on the horse's back at this time, and he could see clearly! On the battlefield, the Song army not only cooperated well, but first shot out huge arrows that would explode, and then took advantage of the chaos of the Khitan cavalry to launch a cavalry attack. Moreover, their cavalry and shooting skills were so superb that they were not inferior to those of the Khitan warriors at all.
If it weren't for the battlefield in Hebei, Yelu Zhangnu would have regarded the Song army knights as silencers...
In addition, Yelu Zhangnu has realized that the Song people must have a chance to retreat! But it is definitely too late to retreat now!
"Right Zhongcheng, Song Gou seems to have dispatched another team of cavalry!"
At this moment, someone had already discovered something was wrong.
Yelu Zhangnu looked at the left front of Xiao Bossus's horse team. Sure enough, it was a huge rise of smoke and dust. Another team of cavalry from the Song army must have launched an assault.
First, we use cavalry shooting to lure the enemy, then use explosive rockets to bomb and harass the enemy, then we use cavalry shooting to kill and damage, and finally we have a wave of spear attacks... This series of tactical cooperation has really reached the point of perfection!
"Okay! Good fight!"
Wu Haogu, who was standing on the gate-opening tower in the north of the Hebei city, couldn't help but applaud at this time!
"What a cannon cavalry cooperate... good fight! There are many rewards!"
Wu Haogu applauded and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that his money was not in vain! These thousands of cavalry alone were worth a small target. If Zhao Ji in history could have such 6,000 cavalry, Xuanhe would not have any problems. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan's cavalry would definitely not be able to defeat them.
If Xuanhe could win a great victory in the Northern Expedition, I think there wouldn't be the Jin soldiers who would later go south!
"I bumped into it... I broke through, okay!"
Brother Zhao Zhong also cheered loudly. It turned out that it was the wall-like impact of 300 fully equipped cavalry arranged by Ma Zheng. It hit Xiao Bossus's troops from the side, which had just been washed by Wu Tian's troops with arrow rain. These were 300 fully equipped armored cavalry! They pressed over like human-shaped tanks. How could the cavalry of Xiao Bossus' troops who had been disrupted long ago be blocked? They were immediately rushed over and overturned. There were countless Khitan cavalry who were hit and killed, trampled to death, and stabbed to death by horses! There were still those who were still dead and fell to the ground, making heart-wrenching howls, which were so miserable that they were extremely miserable!
"It's a good fight!" Brother Zhao Zhong couldn't help but praise him again, "First use a burst rocket to disturb the enemy, then use a cavalry to injure the enemy, and at the same time use Wu Tian's cavalry column to cover the three armoured cavalry to launch an attack... It was impartial and just hit the wings of the Khitans!
In this time, you can win at least 300 heads wearing helmets!"
According to the general order issued by the Hebei Xuanfu Department, the beheading must be a helmet! Otherwise, who knows whether he was a killer or a good person to make a contribution?
"The command of the Great Eagle Army to follow someone to rush into the formation! Beat the drum! Beat the battle drum!"
Yelu Zhangnu was not a coward. Seeing that more than a thousand cavalry ahead were in danger, he ordered the remaining 1,500 cavalry of the Great Eagle Army to follow him without hesitation.
About one-third of the Liao Dynasty's palace soldiers were equipped with armored cavalry (Yelu Yanxi's imperial tent soldiers were all armored cavalry), and the Great Eagle Army was no exception. Among the 2,500 cavalry, less than 800 armored cavalry were all followed by Xiao Pusasu.
So only 1,500 light cavalry left for Yelu Zhangnu. However, Yelu Zhangnu had no time to mobilize the armored cavalry of the other three armies, so he directly led the remaining 1,500 cavalry of the Great Eagle Army to rescue the ground.
Although this move was brave, it was extremely brainless. Because Wu Tian's cavalry, who had released a wave of feather arrows, all went to the battlefield with their rifles on their backs! Now they shot more than twenty arrows by themselves, and their strength was consumed a little, but it was not time to go down to rest. So after completing a round of cavalry shooting, they turned around on the battlefield, reorganized their formation, took off their rifles, and prepared to launch a cavalry attack.
Seeing that another thousand and hundreds of Khitan cavalry joined the battle group, Wu Tian suddenly became excited, waved his horse and shouted loudly: "First team, follow me! Pay attention to maintaining the formation!"
The messenger who followed him took out a whistle and blew hard with all his strength. The lancers who had been eager to try made a shout and scream. Everyone urged the war horses under their crotch, and at the same time, they counted their steps carefully, controlled the horse's speed, and began to rush with Wu Tian.
