Chapter 4803: Elusive and attacking from both sides
Liu Zunkao gave an order, and the more than 500 cavalry behind him all sped up, flying with all their hooves, and chased Li Nanfeng's troops who were speeding backwards.
On the other side of him, Lin Huchen's troops heard a sound of horns, which made Lin Huchen, who was riding in front, nod his head repeatedly. He said: "Brothers, listen to the order and follow Brother Kao's order. Our troops will be the first to defeat and eliminate those who are left to fight back."
All demon thief infantry, turn around and use horseback fire for three rounds to weaken their spirit and strength!"
All the cavalry reined their horses in unison. After hearing Lin Huchen's words, they agreed in unison that they were all the core cavalry of the Jingzhou Legion. Although not all armored cavalry, they all had iron armor, crossbows, riding spears or halberds.
, close combat sabers and heavy swords are all available. At this moment, they are watching a group of roaring Tianshi Dao light-armored sergeants rushing towards them. They are already almost a hundred steps away. This is what they like most.
The most customary fighting method was to raise whistles one after another, rein in the horses, and divide into two directions to the rear, with more than a hundred horses riding in each direction.
The weapons in their hands changed from the halberds and lances they held at the beginning to crossbows. They turned their horses' heads and headed in the direction where these Tianshi Dao disciples were chasing, making panicked looks all the way.
Run backwards and go sideways to the north on the other side.
Huang Shangzhi still did not stop. In front of him, he saw that the enemy cavalry, which had been advancing majestically just now, had actually begun to turn their horses. A trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he laughed loudly: "
Brothers, have you seen it? The Jin army’s cavalry got scared and wanted to run away. We chased them and killed them.”
A guard next to him said: "Senior Brother Huang, the Jin army is running away in two directions. Which side should we pursue?"
Huang Shangzhi took a look at the situation ahead and curled up his lips: "It doesn't matter how many ways he runs, I will only chase them all the way. We must concentrate our forces and don't scatter. As long as we eliminate them all the way, we will win."
As he spoke, he pointed at the cavalrymen running away on the road where Lin Huchen himself was, and waved the long sword in his hand: "Follow me, whoever kills the head of the enemy cavalry is the real hero!"
When the demon thieves behind Huang Shangzhi heard this, their eyes lit up. They all held the weapons in their hands, their legs spun rapidly like hot wheels, and they rushed directly towards the retreat direction of Lin Huchen and others.
However, they had just rushed out more than twenty steps, and saw that they were already within fifty steps away from each other. The cavalry on the opposite side suddenly stopped. The cavalry on the saddle suddenly turned around, and this
When they returned, they no longer looked like they were lying on their horses, running for their lives in a hurry. Instead, everyone turned around to draw their bows, and the long arrows were already on the bowstrings.
Huang Shangzhi took a breath of cold air. Before he could say the word "get down", a burst of bows and arrows flew over with the wind. Before they could stop their pursuit, the Tianshi Dao Infantry Regiment suddenly had twenty or thirty people among them.
The arrow fell to the ground, and the remaining people hurriedly fell to the ground. They could only hear the "swish" sound of the bows and arrows above their heads. No one dared to stand up. In this unprotected open space, the only way to protect themselves was to lie down.
, the best way to protect yourself from bows and arrows.
When the sound of shooting bows and arrows stopped, the Tianshi Dao disciples who had been lying on the ground for a long time also jumped up. This time, the more than a hundred people in front had already picked up bows and arrows in their hands. They were the infantry of this group.
The archers, who had just finished stringing their bows and arrows on the ground, heard the sound of bows and arrows coming from the opposite side had stopped, so they decided to seize this opportunity and stood up to counterattack with a burst of bows and arrows.
However, when they fired these bows and arrows, they discovered that the Jin cavalry who had just turned around to shoot had already rushed out for more than twenty steps. In the case of headwind, they could not jump up from the ground to release arrows as they could while standing up.
He could use all his strength, but was unable to aim. He saw more than a hundred bows and arrows fired at the Jin cavalry who had already put away their big bows and continued to charge forward, but they often fell to the ground four or five steps behind them.
, not even a single person on the other side was dismounted.
Huang Shangzhi slapped his thigh hatefully and cursed: "Damn it, Jin Gou, don't leave. I'm going to kill you head-on!"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard another "Woo" sound piercing the air from the side. His expression changed and he quickly lay down. He only heard another sound of long arrows piercing the air above his scalp.
There were groans and screams all around. It turned out to be the Jin cavalry who were escaping in the other direction. However, they took a horizontal detour from the north side. When they got up to counterattack just now, they rushed to a distance of about 80 steps, and then
Passing horizontally across the side of their formation, a burst of bows and arrows were fired at the Tianshi Dao archers who stood up to shoot arrows.
This time, more than thirty archers fell down, and the rest rarely got down. They yelled and cursed at the Jin cavalry who passed by outside the formation, and fired a burst of fire. This time at more than eighty paces
From a distance, three or four Jin cavalrymen were finally hit by arrows. Two of them fell on their horses and retreated quickly, while the other two were hit in vital positions and fell off their horses. Their companions
He quickly put away his big bow, rolled his saddle and dismounted, pushed his fallen companion onto the saddle, and then quickly ran away, two and one horse. Soon, they disappeared. Only two horses without their owners were left in the same place.
Still shaking his head.
Huang Shangzhi cursed angrily: "If you don't have the guts, you will sneak around like this." He picked up his big bow and looked around. He saw smoke and dust billowing in the north direction and in front of him. He could no longer see anyone within a hundred steps.
There was a Jin cavalry. He gritted his teeth and shot with an arrow, killing a war horse that had just stopped in place. The horse was hit by an arrow in its neck and was shot directly through it. It died immediately and fell to the ground helplessly.
He kicked his hoof twice, spurted out a stream of bloody foam from his mouth, and stopped moving.
Several disciples on one side asked anxiously: "Senior Brother Huang, what should we do now? This Jin army cavalry is so elusive that we can't hit it or run away. If we continue to pursue it like this, we're afraid we'll be surrounded by them and all of them will be shot."
You have to die here."
Huang Shangzhi looked back and glanced into the distance, only to see another long dragon-like line of smoke and dust chasing Li Nanfeng's 1,500 people. There were only more than 200 steps away. Huang Shangzhi looked up to the sky and sighed: "
Unexpectedly, the Jin cavalry split up to chase us. Even if we ran out and prepared to fight to the death, we couldn't hold them back. Brother Li, we can only ask for blessings. Now listen carefully, the archers lie on the ground and don't move.
, the enemy cavalry appears within fifty steps, then fire your bow and make sure to hit, other infantry brothers, prepare for the enemy cavalry attack!"
