Luoyan Valley is an inconspicuous little place. Few people within a hundred miles of it know its name. I don’t know if some literati happened to pass by it and was impressed by the quiet and quiet scenery in the valley, so they named it.
However, at this moment, the place is filled with the most violent emotions in the world!
murderous look!
"Hiss..."
The scream of arrows piercing the sky replaced the howling north wind and became the theme in the valley.
"Bengbeng..."
Correspondingly, there is a continuous and rhythmic sound of the bow strings playing from tight to loose.
"ah……"
In response, needless to say, there were heart-rending screams one after another.
Under the sudden blow, the Jizhou cavalry suffered a major blow. They were exposed without any cover to the bows and arrows of the well-prepared Shengsheng battalion, and they were shocked. Not to mention the power to fight back, even if they wanted to hide, they could not find them.
Place to hide.
There is a joke by Wang Yu circulating within the Qingzhou Army. This sentence is used to evaluate the cavalry, "When they run, they are gods, but when they stop, they are scum." If you put aside the factor of new terms, this sentence is quite insightful.
The combat effectiveness of cavalry is entirely reflected in speed.
Even if there is no paper armor, if the light cavalry uses galloping tactics to fight the infantry, the casualties will definitely be greater than the infantry, and they must be multiplied. The range and power of the cavalry bow are lower than the infantry bow, and only the shooting frequency is slightly lower.
high.
The equipment is inferior but the battle results are superior. The reason lies in its speed.
If you want to accurately hit a high-speed moving target, even a sharp archer cannot hit the target with every shot, let alone an ordinary soldier? No one wants to use cavalry and infantry to shoot at each other, just because the cost-effectiveness of the two is too different.
, I just don’t want to give it up, it’s not that the cavalry archers really can’t defeat the infantry archers.
Of course, in addition to avoiding the target, the speed of the cavalry can also bring powerful impact and mobility. If used well, it can often form a local situation where more people are attacking less.
On the other hand, a cavalry without speed becomes a living target, and all its shortcomings will be exposed.
The height is too high to hide. Infantry can avoid damage from long-range attacks by lying down, crouching and other tactical actions, but can cavalry? Where should they squat and where should they hide?
In addition, the cavalry standing still has very poor flexibility, and it takes a long time to turn around. It is also restricted by the terrain. Taking the current situation as an example, can the cavalry charge up the mountain?
Jizhou's front army, led by Yan Liang, had dismounted and chased up the mountain. The empty saddle horses blocked the way forward.
After the subsequent cavalry dispersed Liu Bei's army, they stopped and waited idle on their horses for the general's orders. Under the command of Yan Liang, there were two to three hundred soldiers chasing up the mountain. It was enough to deal with Guan Yu alone.
Going up there is just a hindrance.
The Shesheng Battalion suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, they opened their bows and fired. The Jizhou Army was surprised at first. When they wanted to retreat, turning around became a big problem. So many horses were crowded together, and there was no unified
Commander, where do you have time to turn around?
Moreover, the enemy seemed to be prepared for this move. The entrance of the valley was the area where they focused their attacks. After the first round of salvos, the last few rows of cavalry were already dead and wounded. When the next wave of attacks followed, the entrance of the valley was
There are almost no living people in the area.
In this way, the Qingzhou Army still refused to give up. The second round, the third round... the rain of arrows was dense and continuous! When the Jizhou cavalry came to their senses, they shouted and screamed and tried their best to turn their horses around.
When I wanted to exit from the valley entrance, I was shocked to find that the valley entrance had been tightly blocked by layers of corpses of people and horses, making it a veritable death zone.
Rush out from the front?
Of course, it was too late. The valley entrances on both sides were key targets, and the situation at the front was not much better than at the back.
Remove obstacles?
It's just as difficult as climbing to the sky. The roads in the valley are not wide. The widest place can only accommodate five or six horses running abreast. The narrowest place can barely accommodate two horses running abreast. Think about it in
Moving around in this kind of place, isn’t that just a dream?
In fact, the cavalry had not had time to think about this. After the focused attack at the mouth of the valley, the Shengsheng Battalion began to extend its shooting. They no longer launched volleys, but searched for targets separately according to their position and carried out precise strikes.
Shoot a man but not a horse.
The huge bodies of the horses filled the originally narrow and limited valley. The more horses there were, the less room the Jizhou army had to move. In the most densely packed areas, there was no room for dismounting.
At first, the cavalry all wanted to hide behind their companions, but they ended up huddling together and becoming targets for arrows. Later, some people realized that if they stayed on the horse at this time, they were waiting to die, so they all dismounted and tried to use their horses to
Use it as a shield to resist enemy attacks.
This method is not bad, but it is just that the arrow in front is blocked, and the arrow from behind comes again.
The soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion were divided into two groups and ambushed on both sides of the valley. Taking advantage of their commanding position, there was basically no blind spot. Unless they buried themselves in a pile of corpses, they would always face attacks.
In the blink of an eye, the three thousand cavalry with overwhelming momentum turned into a pile of scum. No one could accurately count the chaos, but almost half of them were injured and dead, and the remaining ones had no way to go to heaven or earth.
The door could only be held up under the rain of arrows, and the entire army was wiped out before his eyes.
Yan Liang was not injured. With his superb martial arts, he smashed away the arrows that were shot at him with his sword. The warriors who followed him to besiege Guan Yu did not even ride horses. They were already in the middle of the battle and reacted quickly.
He rolled to the ground and, using the cover of the terrain, resisted the Shesheng Battalion's surprise attack.
However, Yan Liang couldn't do anything about the current situation.
If you are ambushed, a large number of people will die in one encounter. Then you can only be beaten without being able to fight back. How can you break this?
Counterattack? What to use to counterattack? The range of the mounted bow is not as good as that of the infantry bow, and they have the advantage of being at a high position.
Defense? What to defend against? Although the cavalrymen also carry cavalry shields, the small shields are so different from the infantry shields that they cannot protect against anything. He has no idea how to reorganize the army.
"General! General Zishan!" While he was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from the bottom of the mountain. Yan Liang looked down and saw Qianzhao hiding in the pile of corpses, gesticulating with him.
"General, kill them, kill them up the mountain!" General Yan Liang looked over and pulled harder and harder. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "There can't be many people hidden in this valley! There are only a thousand enemy troops. After dividing the troops into two groups, there will be even more
If it’s less, go ahead and kill them. Only by killing them will you have a chance to turn defeat into victory!”
That’s right! Yan Liang’s eyes lit up.
The reason why I dare to enter the valley is because the mountain is not too high and the area is not large, so the Tibetan soldiers cannot hide many people. The reason why the Shesheng camp attacked so fiercely is not because of their large number of people, but because of their shooting skills.
He was too strong, his tactics were changeable, and his command was superb, so his army was unable to hold its head high.
It is certainly dangerous to rush forward and counterattack under the rain of arrows, but it is better than being beaten like this. Besides, the Shesheng Battalion that ambushed you is a purely long-range force. If you are so good at archery, you will not be able to do close combat.
Too strong. After going up the mountain, the distance will be widened, and attacks from behind can be ignored.
There are only five or six hundred people on one side. Although there are heavy casualties on my side, more than half of them can afford weapons. As long as I lead people to rush up and entangle the enemies on Beishan... it is hard to say whether I can turn defeat into victory.
At least this deadlock has been resolved.
"Did you hear that?" He pointed the knife at the top of the mountain and shouted at his subordinates who were lying on the ground and hiding behind the rocks: "Go up the mountain! Only by going up can you have a way to survive. Only by killing can you avenge your brothers. You are a hero. Sui
Kill him!"
"I'm willing to die for the general!" If you can only be beaten without fighting back, then no matter how well you hide, you can't avoid casualties. Those who followed Yan Liang up the mountain were his personal guards. They were brave and loyal. When they saw the general, they were already taking the lead and killed him.
, all of them also had red eyes, got up, plucked up their courage, and followed behind.
"Okay, good brothers, we will live and die together today!" Guan Yu's oath was still fresh in his ears, and his opponent repeated these words, but he didn't know that this was not another form of feng shui rotation.
People with keen senses may not necessarily become master archers, but master archers must be able to see and listen to all directions. How could such a big change on Yan Liang's side be hidden from others? I don't know how the shooting camp conveyed it.
At the command, the archers on the north mountain all turned around and covered them with a rain of arrows.
"Drink!" On the line between life and death, Yan Liang's eyes were already red, and he was unwilling to back down. He rushed to the front and danced the big knife in his hand like a windmill, smashing away all the arrows like a rainstorm.
"Kill!" He raised his knife and pointed it straight at the top of the mountain!
"Kill!" Seeing the bravery of the general, the Jizhou warriors' morale was greatly boosted, and they roared and rushed forward. Then, they encountered an obstacle.
Blocking their attack route was a Qinglong Yanyue Sword!
"Where do you want to go?" Wocan raised his eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and a bone-chilling murderous aura was revealed.
The footsteps of all the troops were paused. In the short but fierce fighting just now, this Qinglong Sword remained standing despite the siege. On the contrary, it took the lives of many people, which left a deep impression on everyone.
.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" During the siege just now, Yan Liang respected his identity and did not take action, but now that he was on the line between life and death, he could not care much about it. Not to mention the person blocking the way, even if it was a god, he could only kill it with one sword.
.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Two years later, the two swords collided again, and the sound of the collision resounded through the boiling valley, impacting everyone's eardrums.
As if shocked by this fierce battle, even the airtight rain of arrows stopped, and only the sound of the collision of two swords echoed between heaven and earth.
The result has changed. One man fights tooth and nail, but ten thousand men are invincible, not to mention the person who fights hard is a fierce man like Yan Liang. Facing the crazy Yan Liang, Guan Yu is at a disadvantage. He can only parry but has no ability to fight back.
"What are you looking at?" Even so, Yan Liang was still not satisfied. Seeing the guards in a daze, he roared angrily and urged: "Come together and kill him. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
All the troops were like waking up from a dream. They used swords and guns to surround and kill. Guan Yu tried his best to block it and refused to retreat. Liu Bei's miserable cry came from behind: "Ah..."
Guan Yu's heart was shaken and he didn't dare to try any harder. He barely managed to parry three swords from Yan Liang like a crazy tiger. He then withstood several attacks from Yan Liang's personal guards. He spotted an opening and escaped from the jungle of guns and knives. Retreat in the direction of Liu Bei's voice.
Yan Liang did not pursue him, so he left as soon as Guan Yu left. The enemy on the mountain was the real killer! During the fierce battle, more than ten of his own guards were shot down. Time is life!
"Follow me!" He picked up the machete and continued his journey of turning defeat into victory. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
