Even Yila Pua didn't know how many troops there were sneak attacking him in the dark.

But in the end, there is definitely not as many people as the emperor brings.

So when Wanyan Shouxu saw the scene in front of him, he ordered his army to pull a straight line without hesitation and keep moving forward.

Because they didn't know how many enemy troops were in the dark, Wanyan Shouxu even arranged his army one by one, until he lined up a wide line of more than five miles long.

In Wanyan Shouxu's heart, he was preparing to annihilate the army in the dark first, and then continue to attack Guichi.

After that, his army could rest in Guichi for a few days.

After the Tongzhou army pursuers behind him went south, they continued to take the next move.

However, when the torch opposite was lit up, Wanyan Shouxu then discovered it.

It turned out that the enemy army that was chasing Yila Pua and killed in the darkness was less than 5,000 people!... At this time, Wanyan Shouxu looked at Yila Pua and the general was immediately ashamed! At this time, he felt as if he had been slapped twice, and his face was full of burning discomfort.

When he thought that his 20,000 to 30,000 people were chased by the troops of four or five thousand people on the other side and ran away in the dark... he felt that this was a great shame!... And at this time, he was opposite them.

The four thousand crossbowmen under Meng Gong drew out their short swords and dug out pits on the hard frozen soil layer.

They stuffed the lit torches into the hole, then put them on soil and stomped on them with their feet.

These four thousand torches stood firmly on the ground.

At this moment, when Meng Gong raised his head and found that the Jin army that was chasing had reached forty feet in front of them! This distance was equivalent to 120 meters in later generations.

In other words, as long as the Jin army moves forward a little further, once it reaches within 80 meters, it will be the distance between their feather arrows! The current situation is really urgent, and Meng Gong shouts loudly: "Shoot three arrows at the Jin army brigade ahead!"

"Then the team disbanded and ran back to Guichi as quickly as possible... The steel arm crossbow is not allowed to be thrown at me! Whoever has no steel arm crossbow in his hand will not want to enter the city!"

At this time, Meng Gong was still thinking that if the soldiers were in a hurry to escape and threw down the steel arm crossbow in their hands, then he would be dead! If these powerful weapons to defend the city, who could stop them when these Jin troops attacked Guichi?

So he saw his army rolling the strings and placing arrows at the fastest speed, shooting the crossbow arrows at the torch in front of him.

After each of them shot three arrows, the entire team immediately dispersed.

The entire army was running wildly towards Guichi! At this time, Wanyan Shouxu was leading his troops forward, and then he heard the steel arm crossbow flying towards him in the night sky.

What do Wanyan Shouxu hates the most at this time?

There is no doubt that it is this kind of steel-arm crossbow that is very harmful! If it weren't for this thing, they would have crossed the river as early as Lanxi City and headed all the way to Fujian Road.

But now this extremely annoying crossbow arrow suddenly appeared in the night sky again.

They were like a group of bloodthirsty bats, yelling at the Jin army.

The steel-arm crossbow arrows shot in the night sky, causing casualties and injuries in the Jin army one after another.

At this time, the frontline of the Jin infantry formation was already full of corpses.

After discovering the steel-arm crossbow, Wanyan Shouxu immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the entire army to stop moving forward.

Then immediately let his Tiefutu prepare to charge forward.

Wanyan Shouxu's decision was correct. The heavy armor on Tiefutu's body could ensure that it was not killed by enemy crossbows within a certain distance.

Although after they rushed to a distance of 60 meters, the Tiefutu armor would still be penetrated by the rapidly attacking steel arm crossbow.

But when the heavy cavalry rushed to a range of sixty meters, the enemy on the opposite side wanted to kill them, and they had no chance to shoot an arrow.

Because even bows and arrows that are much faster than steel arm crossbows can only defeat three arrows.

This was done within a total of eighty meters of bow and arrow range.

So the range of fifty meters and the slow winding speed of the steel arm crossbow.

Wanyan Shouxu estimated that his Iron Futu could flood the opponent in the field with a charge! At this time, Wanyan Shouxu thought to himself: "Fortunately, it is in the dark now, and the advantage of accurate long-range shooting of steel-arm crossbows cannot be used.

And your own iron pagoda doesn't need to be on a torch, just rushing towards the firelight from the opponent's position.

After that, as long as the two armies are fighting in hand-to-hand combat, there will be no suspense in the outcome of this battle.

However, Wanyan Shouxu did not expect it at this time.

Just when he mobilized Tiefutu to charge forward, there were only four thousand empty torches left on the other side... The army opposite him had already begun to run towards Guichi City!... If we talk about troops like Tiefutu, they were not wearing armor anytime and anywhere.

The heavy cavalry company had a man armor and horse armor, and after adding one cavalry, the weight exceeded 300 kilograms.

When the Jin army's war horses were relatively low Mongolian horses, it was impossible for war horses to march with such heavy equipment.

So in the Jin army, when Tiefutu was marching, the group of war horses they used to charge were actually empty, just to preserve the physical strength of this best war horse.

At the same time, the Jin army's Iron Pagoda warriors and their armor were all scattered, and camels were on several other war horses.

In this way, they can maintain high speed when marching, but during combat, they all have to dismount and wear armor on their horses, and then they can launch heavy cavalry attacks.

Of course, there are exceptions in this situation, which is Shen Mo's Tongzhou heavy cavalry.

First of all, their war horses were all Hequ horses, from shoulder height to weight carrying capacity, which was much higher than that of Mongolian horses.

Secondly, Shen Mo's heavy iron cavalry also had the armor on his body forged plate armor.

While its protection ability is absolutely better than that of Iron Harrier and Iron Futu armor, it is slightly lighter in weight.

So in this case, Song Wuhui could take the Five Hundred Liefeng Camp all the way and march with a group of selected Hequ war horses.

However, this iron pagoda from the Jin Kingdom had to be replaced with horses and armor to fight.

Because of the characteristics of heavy-armed cavalry, this army has become a rare object that only a country with extremely strong strength can afford to be equipped.
