Xiao Siwen fled north desperately, but the shouts of killing came from behind, getting closer and closer, and there was no sense of distance at all.
I secretly glanced back and saw that not far behind the team, a military flag with the word "龙駧" hung high, as if an evil dragon was about to swallow me.
Mulang Xi rode his horse to a nearby place and said, "It's not okay to stay behind and keep going like this. I've noticed that the opponent has two horses per person, and we only have one. Once the horse loses its strength, we have to let the opponent catch up."
Xiao Siwen was frightened when he heard this, and said in horror: "What should I do?"
Mulang ridiculed: "Someone must come to the rear to delay them for a while."
Xiao Siwen was thinking about who to arrange for the queen.
Mu Langxi had already volunteered and said: "I have to stay behind to take care of my general. I am willing to stay behind. Unfortunately, I died, but I hope I will stay behind to take care of my mother and children."
Xiao Siwen was not a good commander, but he was a good person.
Youdu Mansion is prospering under his governance, and subordinates such as Mu Langxi also live a prosperous life and receive a lot of care.
At this moment, karma and blessings appear.
Xiao Siwen opened his mouth and sighed: "Well, you should be careful and be invincible. No matter what the outcome is, I will take care of your family."
Mulangxi turned the horse's head, put the neck bone flute in his mouth, and played a harsh sound.
Three thousand cavalrymen jumped out and charged towards the enemy chasing behind them.
When the party saw that the other party had sent troops to intercept, they immediately issued an order.
"Change horses and prepare for battle!"
Before this pursuit, each of their cavalrymen led the battlefield and captured a Khitan horse.
Khitan horses are hardworking and have excellent endurance.
During the pursuit, he rode a Khitan horse. Naturally, he had to switch to a northwest horse for this battle.
Seeing that all the soldiers under his command were changing their horses, Dang Jin held up his Xuanhua ax and charged towards the Khitan cavalry.
The two vanguard troops approached like lightning, and in an instant they were within a stone's throw.
A stone's throw away is the fighting distance that the Khitans are best at.
The talent of the prairie people in riding and shooting is vividly displayed at this distance.
Their formation was loose, leaving themselves room to retreat.
Drawing a bow and shooting an arrow on horseback is smooth and natural.
Three thousand arrows shot out of the sky and rained down on Long Xiang's army.
Three thousand arrows landed extremely densely, which shows that the Khitan cavalry's riding and shooting skills are indeed extraordinary.
But Long Xiangjun's performance was more relaxed.
There is almost no need for command, and all soldiers naturally put their forehead protectors in front of their faces, bend down and sprint, reducing the area of their bodies that are hit by arrows.
They have practiced this sprinting technique for a full year.
A hail of arrows rained down on the cavalry.
Unlucky soldiers were even hit by several arrows, but the cavalry of Long Xiang's army all wore chainmail armor.
This spider-web-like armor effectively protects the cavalry's body, greatly reducing the penetrating power of arrows and causing little damage.
However, in the face of such a dense rain of arrows, there were still more than 20 horsemen who were unlucky. Their horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, overturning the cavalrymen on their backs.
of course there are exceptions.
Hu Yanzan, a tough guy, faced the rain of arrows head-on without any fear.
The arrow hit the armor, which was heavier than the infantry armor, and made a crisp sound.
Not only could it not penetrate, but the arrow was broken and fell to the ground.
Just as he said, once you wear this armor, you are no longer afraid of cold arrows.
"assault!"
Taking advantage of the end of the opponent's first round of arrows, Dang Jin accelerated the attack.
After shooting a round of arrows, Mu Langxi didn't even look at the result. He just took advantage of the Khitan horse's flexibility to retreat, intending to distance himself before shooting again.
But when he looked back, he was shocked to find that the opponent had actually increased his speed and was approaching within fifty steps, and the distance was still shortening.
Mu Langxi gritted his teeth and roared: "Turn around and face the enemy!"
Can't keep running.
Mulangxi also knew the characteristics of the northwest horses. The opponent's endurance was indeed not as good as their Khitan horses, but their explosive power and speed had an advantage.
With such a short distance, there is no way to escape and we can only fight.
Mulang Xile halted his war horses, blew his bone flute, and led his soldiers to turn around and kill the pursuing troops of Long Xiang's army.
Hu Yanzan naturally took the lead.
Hu Yanzan, who was born into a noble family, has happiness that others don't have, and his family is rich.
Although Northern horses are petite and have strong endurance, Northwest horses are tall, explosive and have poor endurance.
But there are no absolutes in the world, and some exotic horse kings have almighty attributes.
A one-of-a-kind hexagonal war horse.
For example, Lu Bu's red rabbit, Cao Cao's shadow...
Hu Yanzan sat down on this kind of BMW, carrying a heavy load of about three hundred kilograms, and still looked very brave.
It was the first to collide with the Khitan soldiers.
Before Hu Yanzan could take action, he just sat down on the divine horse and knocked the opponent's short Khitan horse to the ground and rolled it twice.
Hu Yanzan had an iron whip in one hand, a demon-conquering pestle in the other, and a blunt weapon in the other. He struck left and right, not to mention a human being, even a war horse would be killed with one blow.
Long Xiang's army followed Dang Jin and wedged itself hard into the Khitan cavalry.
People in later generations will talk about this fighting nation and that fighting nation.
But the vast history proves one thing. In the era of cold weapons, hand-to-hand combat was discussed, and most of China's thousand-year history was in the stage of bullying others.
Having lost the advantage of cavalry and archery, the loose formation of the Khitan soldiers faced the Longxiang cavalry in groups of ten and groups of five or six to coordinate the attack, and soon split into countless small groups.
Although their numbers were almost the same, the Longxiang cavalry gave the Khitan cavalry the feeling of surrounding them.
Coupled with the fierce and unrivaled Hu Yanzan, this shit-stirring stick.
The two sides fought for only a stick of incense, and Mu Langxi realized that they were already at a disadvantage.
If we continue, I'm afraid there will be a danger of the whole army being annihilated.
At this time, Mulangxi discovered that there was actually a cavalry team attacking on their right wing. He was shocked, no longer hesitated, and blew the bone flute.
Then three thousand Khitan cavalry began to flee in all directions.
This time the party was allowed to advance, and Hu Yanzan was in trouble.
If the enemy retreats, they can naturally pursue them.
But if the other party is running away, how can we chase him?
Split your troops to pursue?
This is so stupid.
While he was thinking, the enemy's bone flute suddenly stopped.
Mu Langxi was actually hit by an arrow in the throat and fell off his horse, letting his horse support him on the ground.
"Good archery skills!"
Dang Jin called out and looked at the person coming, with a little fear in his heart.
He boasted that he was very skilled in martial arts and had few opponents in his immediate martial arts. However, after joining Luo Youdu's command, he first taught the naive Hu Yanzan how to behave, and then Gao Huaide taught him what it means to have people outside of others.
The person who came was wearing a white horse and silver armor, it was Gao Huaide.
After receiving Luo Youdu's care, Gao Huaide naturally stopped picking up other people's remaining tasks.
He was given the task of pursuing Xiao Siwen and assisting Lin Renzhao in capturing Youzhou City.
Gao Huaide quickly came to Dangjin and Hu Yanzan and said: "The commander-in-chief asked you to temporarily listen to my order, unite your troops, and go north to pursue Xiao Siwen. Don't give him a chance to rest."
