Chapter 2091: Heavy armored cavalry confront each other
As soon as Liu Yi reined in his horse, the pack horse under his seat stopped at a distance of about 150 steps from the sword-carriage formation. He picked up the iron-tied bow and pointed it at the sword-carriage on the opposite side.
It was just an arrow, with a "ding" sound, the arrow hit the wooden board accurately and steadily, shaking slightly.
After shooting the arrow, Liu Yi took off Diao Hong's head, which was hanging on the horse's head, and sneered at the pressing cart from the opposite side: "Give it back to you!"
As he spoke, he threw the head far away, then blew a whistle, turned around and ran towards the rear. More than thirty riders around him also returned to their horses with him. The Chu army behind the sword chariot fired a burst of bows.
None of the crossbows hit, leaving only more than a hundred bows and arrows, which landed about ten steps in front of where they were standing.
A soldier jumped off the sword cart, rushed forward, picked up Diao Hong's head, and soon presented it to Qiao Sensheng behind. He frowned: "Diao Hong, this idiot, wants to die even if he is dead."
To lower the morale of our army, the enemy's more than 30 cavalry, without any casualties, wiped out most of Diao Hong's 500 people. Our front army was also discouraged. The momentum of the soldiers' advance now is not as good as at the beginning.
Violent, if this continues, if we encounter the enemy's main force, we will suffer a loss!"
The lieutenant on one side said solemnly: "General, our advance is too slow. It is better to spread out the swords and chariots and rush the whole army to gain momentum. If the swords and chariots had not hindered us just now, we could also use archers to shoot them to death.
Some from the Beifu Army."
Qiao Sensheng waved his hand: "No, order the cavalry on both sides to pursue me. Although these people are good at riding and shooting, they are by no means my opponents in both armor and cavalry. Let them see how powerful our Jingzhou Legion's cavalry is!"
His order was quickly conveyed to the cavalry on both sides. There was a sound of drums and horns, and two hundred horsemen and horses, armed with long iron cavalry, roared out and chased Liu Yi and others in the direction of evacuation. Five
More than a dozen cavalrymen were galloping forward with bows and arrows, while the other one hundred and fifty cavalrymen were lined up on the wall, with their long spears raised, ready for an attack at any time, but no one paid attention to them. There were about five people behind them.
There is a dense forest inside.
Two miles away, Juzhangyuan, Liu Yi and more than thirty horses were rushing back. In the grass here, there were already thousands of fully armed Beifu Army soldiers lying in wait. Their bodies were all covered with grass leaves.
This makes them look the same as the surrounding environment, and the person in the lead, with a pair of tiger-like eyes, looking straight ahead, isn't it Liu Yu?
Liu Yi jumped off the horse and slapped the horse's butt. The pack horse neighed and ran away from the front of the formation. Like the other thirty or so riders, Liu Yi strode into the grass with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not humiliating."
mission."
He Wuji smiled and said: "Xile, you did a great job. Not only did you wipe out Diao Hong, but you also attracted the enemy's cavalry. Ji Nu, do we need to lead the enemy's cavalry into the grass and destroy it?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, these two hundred cavalry are not what I care about. Attacking their cavalry line and then detouring back to the enemy's side is what I want. Send a signal to the Raptor and ask him to attack now!"
"
He Wuji nodded and waved his hand back. A messenger suddenly stood up, raised a yellow flag, and waved it three times in succession.
On the west side of this grassland, among the long grass that is half a man tall, more than 300 armored cavalrymen suddenly stood up, and more than 300 tall and fierce cavalrymen were all wrapped in tight heavy armor.
Among them, they also jumped on their horses. In their hands, they raised the horse spear as high as two people. Their eyes flashed with a cold fighting light. The leader was holding a double-sided halberd. It was not the Menglong Talisman known as the Raptor.
?
Meng Longfu raised his hand high, placed the big halberd on the hook of the horse, raised his right hand into a fist, and held the rein with his left hand. The three hundred iron cavalry immediately formed 20 or 30 teams, all forming a wedge shape.
Holding a long spear in his hand, he started to walk slowly, then hurried, trotted, accelerated, and finally sprinted. In the distance of two hundred steps, he changed from the state of lying in the grass just now to sprinting at full speed, covering the entire earth.
, all swaying slightly as they charged.
The Jingchu knights on the opposite side also dispersed their formation. More than fifty archers stood still and fired dense rain of arrows at the Beifu cavalry who were charging toward them at full speed more than a hundred steps away. These Jingzhou knights
Most of the bow cavalry were built by the refugees from Guanzhong who had fled to Xiangyang. Many of them were even Di and Qiang people who were good at riding and shooting. Now they were on horseback, hooking the string with two fingers and clasping arrows between their fingers.
Pulling and firing, he opened his bow left and right, and almost in the blink of an eye, he shot more than five arrows, forming a rain of arrows, heading straight towards the charging Beifu cavalry!
"Ding", "ding", "dang", "dang", "Xi Yu Yu", the sound of arrows hitting armor and horses can be heard endlessly. Knights were hit in vital parts, and the situation of turning over and falling from their horses also began to occur.
Five horses fell to the ground and rushed forward, and three or four knights on the horses were hit by arrows and died. Even though the man had lost his life, his body was still sitting on the horse's back, but the horse spear in his hand had fallen to the ground.
Meng Longfu said sternly: "Knights of Beifu, charge!"
All the knights who were lying on their horses sat up, and they let out a heart-stirring war cry: "Beifu Jingpachi, fuck your whole family!" All the knights put their horses under their right armpits and waved them.
The horizontal column of a hundred cavalry was divided into three waves and rushed towards the Chu cavalry on the opposite side.
The more than fifty cavalrymen in front of the Chu army began to retreat, while the one hundred and fifty cavalrymen in the rear formed a row and spread out, almost in the same formation, with the same movement.
equipment, roared towards the Beifu cavalry on the opposite side, and launched a counterattack!
Liu Yu jumped up from the grass and shouted: "Beifu Army, charge!"
More than a thousand infantrymen jumped up from the grass, shook off the grass camouflage on their bodies, roared, followed Liu Yu who was running with a knife, and rushed forward. In front of them,
About two hundred steps away, there was a loud sound. It was the sound of hundreds of horses colliding head-on, and the first wave of knights from the two armies colliding head-on.
The war horse running at full speed directly knocked the rider from the opposite side several steps away, and the warriors flying out from the horse were like acrobats. The ones rushing forward were the horses missing.
Hooves, people fly forward, and those flying backwards are often hit by the opponent's spears, directly pierced by the opponent's weapons, pushed against the tips of these spears, and fly backwards, while they are sitting on the ground.
The dismounted war horse still won't stop because of the disappearance of its master. It stares with blood-red eyes and continues to charge forward!
