Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 388 Old Familiar ([-])

That's right!Facing the Jurchens, there were three thousand cavalrymen blocking the distance between Pingzhou City and Haiyang City; to be more precise, it was the two thousand Liao Army cavalry led by one thousand Jurchen.

The tactics Hu Biao and the others used to deal with it was to rush directly and forcibly.

Otherwise?Speaking of their group of remnants and defeated generals, it seemed that they could beat [-] elite cavalry before passing through calmly.

So when they had no other choice, they could only adopt such a tactic:
Set up an arrow formation, and a group of combat-capable personnel will stand at the front and on the two wings, and guard the old, weak and wounded who have no combat capability in a relatively safe position in the middle, and forcefully rush over at the fastest speed .

If the personnel on the front and the two wings were killed in battle, someone would immediately fill in and maintain the integrity of the arrow formation.

Specifically, it was like the herd of antelopes fleeing in groups when faced with lions and other ferocious beasts on Uncle Hei's continent.

Needless to say, Hu Biao and other netizens are not unfamiliar with such a tactic.

Because they used it in the breakout battle in Qiuci City, and in the mission of Banchao and Ban Dingyuan in the Western Regions, and they were used in the final confrontation with the cavalry of the Huns.

It can be said that he is familiar with this trick.

To be more precise, the content that these guys are familiar with is not only the formation and details of using this tactic; but also the speed at which people die in battle so quickly, I am also familiar with it in my mind. .

But under the current circumstances, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward.

correct!Because considering that in this stage of the task, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo, Niu Gao and others, the system stipulates that they must not die, or die is a rigid requirement that the punishment is extremely severe.

So when arranging the arrows in advance, Hu Biao forcibly placed them in the inner circle of the formation.

In the name of asking them to take good care of some old, weak and wounded, in fact, they just don't want them to join the frontal battle, so as not to die in such a brutal charge.

At the beginning, Yue Fei and others were unwilling at all; but under Hu Biao's strict order in the capacity of proclaiming praise, they could only obey incomparably.

It can be regarded as allowing them to let go of some worries, and they can die with peace of mind...

With everyone whipping their horses continuously, the speed of five or six miles was only a few minutes.

It can be seen that under the huge movement generated by the dense sound of horseshoes, those Jurchens have already noticed their arrival in advance and made relevant preparations.

Not only on the two wings, there are several squads of rangers cruising.

Shoot an arrow from a distance, trying to disrupt the formation of the arrow front formation.

The most important thing is that the Jurchen's remaining large cavalry has already set up a somewhat messy but well-organized cavalry attack formation directly in front of them.

Fortunately, there are no horse traps, horse entanglements, and horse refusals, these fortifications that can prevent the cavalry from attacking.

Thinking about it, the Jurchens are currently at their peak.

The siege may be a little weaker, but after 2 people defeated the 70 army of the Liao Kingdom in the field battle, the eyes grew to the top of the head.

They didn't think that their [-] cavalry could have any rivals on the ground of Pingzhou.

The fact is similar, Hu Biao and the others even in their heyday, could not defeat these Jurchens cavalry; it's just that they never thought about planning to fight the Jurchens.

And these Jurchens can't think of these guys in front of them.

In order to be able to escape from birth, how determined is the idea in their hearts at this moment.

Finally, when the two sides were three and a half miles away, a resounding ox horn sounded from the Jurchen cavalry formation on the opposite side.

Amid the long sound of the trumpet, the two thousand Liao cavalry who surrendered to them were the first to move out, and they outflanked the two wings.

A little later, the Chinese army of a thousand Jurchens directly charged over.

Since the defeat of the Liao army, the Jurchens' cavalry equipment has been greatly improved, and there is a faint shadow of the follow-up 'Iron Buddha' heavy cavalry.

******
Feeling the cool night wind, while the horses were charging at high speed, it kept blowing on his face.

Sitting on the undulating horseback, 23-year-old Wang Donglai was a rookie called Fengche for this mission.

Try to keep your waist straight, like a long gun.

The reason is simple, because after other rookies in the same period, such as wild ghost, big fish, war dog, old iron, Li San, gust of wind and others died in battle.

There was an inexplicable intuition in this guy's heart:
If no miracle happened, he would die immediately.

Even if he received some preferential treatment because of his poor riding skills; the two rookies, A Fen and Smelly Old Pis, were not assigned to the outermost circle, but a little inside.

But inexplicably felt that he was about to die in this unknown windmill, so he still tried his best to straighten his waist.

Because in this way, he felt that when he died, he would look more dignified.

With such a thought in mind, the Jurchens who had surrounded by the two wings were about to kill them obliquely.

Then Fengche could hear Hu Biao, using the iron horn, shouting "raise the shield~"; under such an order, he quickly raised a one-handed shield to protect his head and face.

From the corner of his eyes, he could also see some soldiers and civilians in the formation, one after another, they also raised a pot cover, or a half door panel with a handle, and lifted it above their heads one after another.

At most two seconds later, a dense rain of arrows enveloped them.

And it lasted for 27 seconds as if it was really raining.

This is the position of the two wings. The two thousand Liao soldiers who passed by them at a distance of four to fifty meters shot their bows and arrows one after another.

Xu saw it, they were on the edge of the turtle-like arrow formation.

Everyone has a shield in their hands and a solid armor on their body. The reason why bows and arrows are not very effective in killing these people is that many Liao soldiers use projectiles.

Therefore, Fengche, a rookie who has received preferential treatment, is not even in the outermost circle of the arrow front.

In a very short time, the shield in his hand and the armor on his body were still rattling, and they were hit by as many as one or two arrows respectively.

Fortunately, not only was he most worried about the horse being hit by an arrow, but the frightened situation did not appear; the sharp arrow shot on the armor also bounced off after hitting a little spark.

The horse with four hooves under its crotch quickly stomped on the ground, still galloping forward.

It's a pity that some soldiers and civilians around him just didn't have such good luck.

From the corner of the windmill's eyes, you can see, not too far to the left, a wounded man who is trying to hold the pot cover; the pot cover in his hand looks ridiculous, but he successfully blocked a projectile Arrow coming over.

Even if the pot lid was directly shot through, and an arrow protruded out of the old man's long section, it was still successfully blocked.

The problem was that the dirty leather armor on his body couldn't stop the sharp arrows from such a distance.

When he was hit by an arrow under his left rib, he couldn't help but swayed in severe pain, and his body, which was not tied to the horse's back, fell directly to the horse.

Before he got up, many horseshoes stepped on his back.

As for the wounded man, why wasn't he tied to the horse back then?The reason is actually quite simple, because it is more harmful to be tied to the horseback, but if there is a way, you will not do it.

No!A seriously wounded man who had no way to rely on his own strength and sat on the horse's back was firmly tied to the back of the horse.

During the previous journey, all the wounds on his body were shaken open.

At this moment, although he didn't fall off the horse after being hit by a few arrows, he had already lost his vitality.

In addition, the more unlucky situation was that at a distance of at most ten meters from the windmill, a war horse was frightened after hitting three arrows in a row.

Even if the knight above tried to appease him, the horse still tilted its head and bumped into another horse on the left.

On the spot, the two horses fell forward and fell to the ground, let alone the one behind who couldn't dodge, was also tripped on the spot.

And such a result means that the knight above is doomed.

In short, for the duration of only 27 seconds, the screams and the sound of the horse crashing down were endless for Rafale.

Finally, after passing by Liao Qi on the two wings, the two sides passed by.

In this arrow formation that broke through, not only were some people's bodies like long grass, there were many more arrows, but more importantly, hundreds of people died in this short period of time.

It's just that now, no one cares about these anymore.

Because when the Jurchens rushing forward are about to arrive, their bigger crisis, this is just the beginning...
