Chapter 22: Not the Raptors, but Jiang (2)
The second target is more than ten steps away directly in front of the horse's head. Through the dim light of the opponent's torch, you can see that it is a powerful soldier. The big scimitar in his hand is thick and heavy. Less than 20 kilograms. If both sides are riding horses to fight with swords at high speed, Yang Zhechong feels that he will most likely be defeated, and the failure of the cavalry to hedge often means death.
But the current situation is that Yang Zhechong is galloping on his horse with a gun, but the golden soldier is still competing with the horse that is spinning in circles, shaking its head and tail. The cavalry has lost its speed, so it is still called cavalry. ? Not even as good as an ordinary infantryman - at least he still has some flexibility.
When Yang Zhechong rushed over, the golden soldier was turning the horse's head violently. At the same time, he raised his scimitar high, expecting to chop down the two horses when they passed each other. Yang Zhechong's original intention was to assassinate the horse. Jin Bing's, but due to the obstruction of the horse's head, the spear tip penetrated the horse's neck, and the huge shock force was transmitted to the barrel of the gun. Yang Zhechong promptly and quickly gave up his hand and abandoned the gun, and the scimitar he had already grasped in his left hand, with the help of the horse, With great force, he cut into the Jin Bing's neck bone - the knife cut so deeply that the blade was firmly stuck on the neck bone. Yang Zhechong had to abandon the knife again to avoid breaking his wrist. At almost the same time, his opponent's The machete also hit Yang Zhechong's thigh.
Jin Bing's original intention was to chop Yang Zhechong's chest, but he didn't expect that the war horse was shot and the horse leaned sideways, causing his entire movement to be deformed. The chest chop turned into a leg chop, and the direction turned sharply, and the strength was greatly reduced. More What's worse is that the deformation of the movement caused the middle door to open wide, giving the opponent the chance to get this decapitating blow.
After Yang Zhe rushed his horse and galloped for dozens of steps, he heard a thud from behind him, as if a huge stone had hit the ground.
Just this short rush made Yang Zhechong's heavy clothes soaked with sweat and his breath was suffocated. The iron leaves on the battle skirt that protected his right leg were completely deformed, and the leather armor was cracked. The whole right leg was numb and unreliable. It belongs to me, and there seems to be viscous liquid flowing down.
Yang Zhechong reluctantly moved his right leg, feeling a little relieved. The incision was not deep, just a flesh wound. He was really lucky. If the knife had hit his chest, even if he was not dead at this moment, he would probably only have half a life left.
Although he paid a certain price, Yang Zhechong felt extremely comfortable at the moment. How long had it been since he had done such a thing of riding alone into the battle? Well, it seems that the last time he did this was eight years ago, when he He was still a new soldier. When he went on a patrol with his cousin, he encountered a Xia army sentry cavalry (the smallest military establishment in Xixia, three people per team). He was eager to win, so he acted together before waiting for the other parties to meet up, and attacked first. The result was After killing one of the opponents, he was attacked from both sides. If his cousin had not led the team to arrive in time, he would have been buried in the west border.
Afterwards, I was severely whipped by my cousin, and I have never done anything like this again. Unexpectedly, eight years later, I would relive this feeling again... and this time my opponent was the most ferocious golden soldier in the world. It’s so cool to achieve such results!
But Yang Zhechong's feeling of pleasure did not last long. Dudi shot an arrow from the left, knocking off the iron bag above his head. Yang Zhechong was horrified, rubbing his ears that were buzzing and looking sideways. , just about twenty steps away, a golden soldier drew his bowstring again, and the tip of the arrow reflected the red light of the torch, like a bit of blood.
The previous arrow only hit the helmet, which must have been due to the frightened horse. However, at this time, the golden soldier had jumped off the horse, stepped on a steady lunge, lowered his waist and braced the horse, and the bowstring was stretched like a full moon. This arrow There is no reason to miss anything when you take action.
At this moment, Yang Zhechong's scalp felt numb and blood surged upwards. He stared at the cold tip of the arrow, wondering which part of his body it would pierce in the next moment.
Whoosh, an arrow was shot, and it was not Yang Zhechong who fell, but the golden soldier who was drawing his bow and ready to fire - there was a short crossbow arrow stuck in his neck.
Yang Zhechong took a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his head and face: "Chief, boss, you are finally willing to take action. But, it seems that you are not using that 'artifact'..."
Before Yang Zhechong could breathe a sigh of relief, a strong wind suddenly hit him from behind. Then his neck tightened and he was strangled by a strong arm, and he was forcefully pulled off the horse. As Yang Zhechong struggled desperately, he felt sticky fluid on his head and face from time to time. The liquid dripped down, and a thick, fishy breath sprayed hotly on the back of the neck. The sticky liquid flowed from the mouth and nose, fishy and salty. Yang Zhechong was startled, and then he realized that it was actually the person who had been there earlier. The brave soldier of the Jin army was injured once and then forced off his horse by himself.
When Yang Zhechong and the dim-eyed golden soldier were wrestling on the ground, the other three golden soldiers had basically controlled their horses. However, they did not take the opportunity to surround Yang Zhechong. Instead, they all turned their horses' heads towards a certain spot along the river beach. There - there is a truly dangerous enemy hidden there!
The three golden soldiers and cavalry quickly lined up in a row, one horse position apart in the middle. As the leading golden soldier sentry horse pointed his whip, the cavalry roared and rushed straight to the target less than thirty steps ahead.
As expected of Jurchens with a hunting background, they felt good. The dark thing in front of them looked like a stone or a pile of dirt, which was Di Lie in disguise.
Di Lie squatted there, holding a homemade crossbow in his hand. A crossbow, a night-fighting weapon, is one of the regular equipment even for special forces in the 21st century. The difference is that the crossbow-making materials of later generations It uses a bowstring made of highly elastic special steel, springs and steel wires. It is compact in shape, but its lethality exceeds the so-called powerful crossbows of this era.
Di Lie is not very good at playing with bows and arrows, and he is not stupid enough to use bows and arrows to challenge the nomadic knights with unparalleled cavalry and archery. But the crossbow is different. It is the strength of the Central Plains dynasty army. Likewise, Di Lie, who comes from later generations, can One of the special operations skills to master proficiently.
The crossbow in Di Lie's hand was directly modified from the cavalry bow captured by the Jin soldiers. The method is also very simple, which is to add a wooden beam with a trigger between the bow arm and the bow string. Generally, cavalry bows The arm of the crossbow is shorter than that of the walking bow, the bow string is thinner, and the range is not as good as that of the walking bow. However, Di Lie twisted two more spare bow strings on the original bow string, which doubled the pulling force of the crossbow and greatly enhanced the range and lethality. Therefore, it can be used in An arrow pierced the throat at a distance of forty or fifty steps, saving Yang Zhechong.
At this time, he faced three murderous golden soldiers riding tall horses, which were equivalent to ancient motorcycles. They collided at high speed. With the good mental quality of a soldier, Di Lie calmly pulled the string, cocked the arrow, aimed, and pulled the trigger. The one on the left The golden soldier sentry cavalry groaned and fell down in response to the string.
At this moment, the enemy cavalry was less than twenty steps away, and it was almost too late to fire another arrow. Di Lie quickly abandoned the crossbow, pulled out his dagger, and rushed forward like the wind, dodging between the two enemy cavalry and disappearing.
The two sides crossed each other and rushed for more than ten steps. The horse on the right side of the Jin soldiers screamed in sorrow, and the right front hoof was neatly cut off. The horse lost balance and rolled forward.
The golden soldier was very agile. The moment he was about to fall to the ground, he threw his stirrup and jumped up. He rolled a few times on the river beach and then jumped up. The lance in his hand was still firmly in his palm.
When the golden soldier shook his confused head, regained his composure, and turned around to look for the enemy who had dismounted him. A black shadow flashed past, and then his neck felt cold, and his hands felt light...
After Di Lie ran for five or six steps, he heard a soft "chi" sound coming from behind him, like the valve core of a bicycle being pulled out, but what spewed out was not airflow, but hot blood...
…
In the end, there was only one enemy left, well, there was only one enemy left standing, that is, the leader of the Golden Soldier Sentinel Cavalry. Judging from the number of men and horses he led, he was either a captain or a corps commander.
This golden soldier is not very tall and has long arms. He is probably very good at shooting. But he also seems to know that at such a short distance, the enemy will not give him a chance to calmly pick up the bow and arrow.
.And in such a dark and densely weeded environment, he was not sure that he would hit the target with one hit.
Seeing the vague opponent slowly approaching him on foot, the golden soldier seemed to be inspired with arrogance. He slowly pulled out the scimitar hanging next to the saddle, rode the river, and slowly came ashore.
——The impact just hit the air, because the river beach was too close to the water's edge, and almost fell into the river.
This Jin soldier also saw that his opponent was a formidable enemy that was difficult to deal with. However, as a member of the most powerful Jin Army invincible cavalry in the world, he did not believe it anyway.
, will you still lose in a one-on-one duel?!
"Come on!" the Golden Soldier Sentinel roared angrily, slapped the horse's butt hard with the spine of his sword, and charged forward ferociously.
Di Lie put the dagger back into his boot, held the captured lance in two arms, then flat-ended the lance, and ran at full speed with the majestic posture of fighting the enemy with a bayonet.
Just when the two sides were still ten steps away from colliding with each other, the tip of Di Lie's spear suddenly pierced down and plunged deeply into the sand. Taking advantage of the momentum, the whole person jumped up in the air in a pole vault position.
As a special gun for cavalry, the barrel of the ring gun is of course longer than the plain wood gun or raven gun used by the infantry, and the gun barrel is also tougher. Not to mention, it is not as good as when used as a support pole.
Poor bamboo pole.
The golden soldier never expected that his opponent who was ten steps away would fly over his head in the blink of an eye. And the scimitar in his hand was still placed horizontally under the horse's neck, in a diagonal cutting posture.
...This is the most effective and standard way of using a knife for cavalry to chase down infantry, but it is definitely not used to deal with volley attacks...
Bang! Before Jin Bing had time to change his move, Di Lie, who had fallen from the air, kicked his chest hard with both feet. Even with the protection of the iron leaf armor, the ferocious force still passed through the armor, shattering his sternum and seven or eight ribs.
The golden soldier sprayed blood arrows and fell down from his horse. When his head hit the ground, he could clearly hear the crisp sound of his neck bone breaking. "How are you doing? Do you want help?" When Di Lie threw the dagger up and down, he walked quickly.
When I approached Yang Zhechong, who was entangled with the blind-eyed golden soldier, I heard a scream. The golden soldier's still intact eye was stabbed by Yang Zhechong with his middle finger. Blood and crystals were splashed.
, Yang Zhechong roared violently, struggled to break free from the enemy's neck, turned around, clamped the enemy's head with both hands, and twisted it hard...
Continuous battles exhausted Yang Zhechong's physical strength. He just lay sprawled on the battlefield where corpses were scattered, not even bothering to move a finger. Apart from rolling his eyes, he glanced at the man who was hiding in the water while holding on to the rope.
At this moment, Ye Die'er, who was safely ashore, didn't want to say a word.
After Di Lie tidied up the battlefield and recovered the scattered horses one by one, and tied them up, he picked up a small stone with his toes and kicked it away to Yang Zhechong. Yang Zhechong's whole body trembled, as if his buttocks had settled.
He jumped up like a spring and shouted dissatisfied: "Leader! Brother! If you don't plan to use that artifact next time, can you tell me in advance? I only have the support of such a sharp weapon to dare to do such craziness.
Things..."
"Now that you don't have a sharp weapon to support you, won't you still win?" Di Lie interrupted coldly, "The only person you can really rely on is yourself!"
Yang Zhechong stared blankly at the corpses scattered on the ground, as if he still couldn't believe it - one-third of these fierce enemies were killed by himself? When did he become so fierce? Is it really because of this?
…
At this time, Di Lie's leisurely voice came: "You did a good job. I'll give you a shot when I get back to satisfy your cravings."
