Chapter 1153 Test
The tired birds fly north, and the west wind is cold.
On the ancient post road, the army stopped.
Li Yu nervously ordered the soldiers to set up a formation, while Zan Jian climbed a high slope and looked down at the four fields.
Before we knew it, this battle had been fought from winter to spring, and it still had no results.
He stepped forward.
The river water at the foot of the mountain flows quietly, with a bronze-like cold light.
There is an abandoned fort on the bank of the river, but it has long been empty, leaving only a few dim words on the door: Forever.
The courtyard wall collapsed most of the time, and the weeds struggled out of the gaps in bricks and wood, shaking around the rusty cluster of arrows.
When the west wind blows, the river water whimpers.
The pale flowers flew all over the sky, and after falling into the river, they quickly disappeared.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a team of light cavalry approached the abandoned dock.
Zan Jian looked at the sound and felt a little familiar inexplicably.
The fast horse, the strong bow, the sheepskin robe and the face deeply carved by the wild west wind.
They pointed at their location, and then looked at the sergeant who were placing deer antlers and refusing rifles.
They watched very carefully, and even whispered arguments broke out during this period.
After a while, several people turned over and horses, instead of moving towards the sergeant formation, they walked towards the hilly slopes on both sides.
They walked very slowly, as if they were measuring the gentle slope of the hills, and as if they were observing the quality of their own troops.
For those who are old war, as long as they get close, they can judge the quality of a unit through too many details, especially these light cavalry that mainly hangs and shoots.
I don't know which infantry can attack and who cannot attack will probably die long ago...
Wanqike rode his horse up the gentle slope.
He was not conspicuous in the crowd at all, looking like the common middle-aged and elderly herdsmen in the northwest.
After walking for a while, there were no enemy cavalry coming to harass or expel it. This is incredible, but maybe this is the reality.
He stopped beside several wild pears.
The soybean flower in spring is extremely beautiful.
When the west wind suddenly rises, the river water sings happily.
The white flowers were flying all over the sky, reminding him of the snowflakes that covered his own wheat fields in winter, and he felt inexplicably happy.
All thanks to His Majesty!
He turned his gaze to the abandoned fortress under the gentle slope.
The new bracken stretched out tenaciously from the cracks of the bricks, reflecting the wild roses below.
On the courtyard wall are portraits of mountain people hunting and scenes of cattle and sheep growing in herds. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the former residence of a monk named Wu Renyijun who moved out of the mountains.
What a great place.
If Li Cheng can be defeated and then get such a place with abundant water and grass, suitable for herbs and farming, it may be better than struggling in the mountains of Langu County.
With a "swish", he pulled out the ring-headed knife from the saddle sheath.
A huge earthquake trembled in the distance, and a team of cavalry shining with silver helmets were rushing towards this side.
Wan Qike waved his hand, and the personal soldiers behind him immediately beat the drum at his waist.
After the dull sound of gathering and drums, the light cavalry, who were still observing the terrain and enemy formation, immediately got on their horses and gathered to where Wanqike was.
The mountains are continuous and strange rocks are standing.
The light horse's hooves tread across the weathered rocks, raising fine crystal dust.
The Hun riders leaned over the horse's back and had already drawn horn bows made of birch and yellow sheep's horns.
The red tassel on the hilt of the sword in the sheath jumped and seemed to be eager to try and eager to drink blood.
The sky gradually darkened, and the battle clouds arrived unexpectedly.
Wanqike glanced at the army's iron cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and with an order, he took more than a hundred light cavalry to another gentle slope.
The cavalry general Chengjun refused to give up and chased after him.
The heavy horse hooves stepped on the gravel and flowers and plants, climbed up with difficulty, stuttering, and the sound of the collision of armor leaves that used to be very pleasant sounded very annoyed.
"Dole!" A feather arrow passed through the strange rock and through the green blanket, hitting the shoulder of the fastest-rushing armed cavalry.
It's not very hurt, but it's extremely insulting.
Li Chengjia was furious and rushed forward to the horse's belly.
"Dodo!Dodo!Dodo!" As if a layer of hail was falling, the continuous feather arrows broke through the air, and in addition to "insult", they had begun to cause casualties.
Some unlucky guys were shot on the horse.
As he rushed, the front hooves of the war horse softened, and he knelt on the ground, and threw the soldier on his back directly out.
Or it was neighing in pain, the man stood up, the knight exclaimed in surprise, and was busy manipulating the horses.
More armored cavalry chased after you, and the horse spear was thick and long, so there was no doubt that it could cause you to bleeding when it hits your chest.
The blade of the spear is shining with cold light and extremely sharp. If it is poked on it, even if it is worn with leather armor, the whole person will be picked up in the air.
This is the Di Qiang cavalry, and its strength and courage are amazing.
But now they are playing like being played with monkeys...
Among the undulating hills, the Huns' light cavalry was mobile and flexible, and soon they distanced themselves from the armored cavalry, and then took a bow and arrow at the middle distance and shot continuously. Every time the bowstring sounds, it means a huge threat.
Maybe they can't break the armor on your body, but they can knock you to the ground and turn back to calmly replenish the arrows.
The locations for archery are carefully selected, just when you are panting and climbing up the hill or turning into chaos.
It is also very simple to crack this move. Transfer the battlefield to the flat ground. When the light cavalry turned around and shot, they used their super straight-line acceleration ability to catch them. The spear and spear directly called them up and poked them to the ground until they were completely defeated.
But this battlefield was chosen by the Huns...
Zan Jian stood on the hillside on the other side and saw clearly.
The Huns Light Cavalry could use their speed to get rid of these armored cavalry, but they didn't. Instead, keep a distance appropriately, take advantage of the characteristics of the hills that are not conducive to straight-line rushing, give full play to the advantages of maneuverability and flexibility, and shoot frequently, and achieve great results.
Some of the armored cavalry of the King seemed to be anxious. Someone directly paused the heavy lance into the soil, pulled out the bow tip, and stringed the horn bow on the horse's back.
More people have to hold the horse spear with both hands because they have no horn bow at all, and they are extremely passive.
After the pursuit lasted for a while, the war horse under the armour cavalry was already panting heavily, and some even foamed at the mouth.
He sighed, finally no longer hesitated, and ordered the former deputy general Li Yu to take a thousand gang infantrymen to respond.
Light cavalry dominates the mountains, but infantry dominates the mountains.
"Dongdong..." After the drum sounded, the young royal clan Li Yu had already advanced with a thousand infantry.
The sword and shield hands held up their skinned shields and shouted loudly.
Behind were the fanged men holding chalks, spears, wooden slats, ring-headed swords and other messy instruments. They exuded a barbaric aura and had never fought with the Hun cavalry, so they didn't know what fear was, so they just met them.
Zan Jian ordered the flag to wave, ordered the armored cavalry to gather and cooperate with the infantry.
But those reckless people were at the forefront, and some people didn't know which valley they were beheaded by the Huns' light cavalry, so in the end only more than a hundred cavalry slowly closed and moved closer to a thousand infans.
The Huns' light cavalry also began to adjust, and to be more precise, they were preparing to retreat.
However, perhaps because they wanted to try the combat power of the army infantry, they divided up thirty or forty cavalry and rushed straight towards the army infantry in the plains of the river valley.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
A group of crossbows were shot out from the infantry formation of the army, and several cavalry in front were shot directly to the ground.
The remaining thirty cavalry seemed to have received strict orders and continued to rush forward with arrows.
A surprising scene appeared: the formation of the army infantry was in chaos.
However, it was not caused by the cavalry, but some of the fang people actually took the initiative to leave the brigade, holding up swords, shields, spears, and rushed towards the Hun cavalry with one stubbornness.
Those who appreciate them will praise their courage and dare to fight.
People who don't like it will think that they are stupid and have never fought with the cavalry.
The two sides collided like this.
The Xiongnu Light Cavalry, who was rushing in the front, seemed to be very surprised. After shooting down more than ten Fang people, the enemy had already rushed to the front, so they had no time to turn around, so they could only abandon their bows and catch their swords and fight with them in close combat. They were soon pulled off their horses and chopped into meat paste.
More than ten light cavalry behind turned around in a hurry, rushed to the high ground on both sides, picking up bows and arrows.
At such a close distance, every time an arrow was shot, almost no protection was falling down.
At this time, they finally saw some fear in the eyes of the Liao people.
Your mother! The Huns sighed badly.
I thought I had met the Daliang Heavenly Soldier who dared to take the initiative to attack the cavalry. It turned out that he had met a group of stupid barbarians!
After shooting down a group of fangs, they did not dare to fight. They turned the horse's head and retreated to the rear.
Wanqike also appeared from behind a hillside with dozens of riders.
The flag was waving repeatedly, and the crisp sound of the horn echoed among the mountains.
After a moment, almost all the Xiongnu light cavalry turned around and retreated in the southeast direction, gradually disappearing on the distant horizon...
Today, the army's armored cavalry, who suffered heavy losses, took a long time to turn out from the mountains and descend onto the plains of the river valley.
They silently looked at the smoke and dust slowly falling on the post road, and were speechless for a long time.
Zan Jian also stood quietly on the hillside, looking into the distance.
I don’t know how long it took, Li Yu rushed to the hillside excitedly and said, “Governor, the Liang thief was beaten away.”
The west wind blew again, making the strong and gray hair fluttering.
He looked at Li Yu, smiled, and said, "Duke Pingkang won the first battle, which is a joyful congratulations. However, the Liang thief will come later, so he must obey my orders."
"What? The Liang thief is coming? Didn't he just defeated for a while?" Li Yu was surprised.
"Yes, but Liang has many soldiers, maybe he doesn't care about death or injury." Zan Jian pointed to the empty horse that had no owner on the opposite hillside and said.
Li Yu turned his head and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, then blushed.
That was mostly empty horses left by their own cavalry after they were killed or injured, but the cavalry suffered a loss when they fought.
Zanjian looked at Li Yu and sighed unconsciously.
This is the Dacheng royal family.
I really don’t know what Dacheng will be like after the death of these old guys who grew up in the poor mountains and rivers of Guanlong and experienced war years.
No, maybe it's not going to be the future.
The 30,000 army had already discovered by the Liang people that there were so many cavalrymen, would they let them go?
Ma Long can deal with the overwhelming cavalry with infantry, but they may not be able to do it.
