Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 417
Surrounding King Aries are his most elite cavalrymen, no matter in terms of equipment or personal quality, they are not comparable to ordinary Hun knights.Hearing Gongsun Rongnu's wild roar, they reacted immediately and raised their shields to protect Aries King.

"Tuk tuk tuk!" There was a sound like popping beans, and the powerful crossbow arrows shot at the shield, only a few of them passed through the gap and hit the knight behind the shield, causing muffled groans.A knight fell off his horse and disappeared into the rolling iron stream.

Although Aries King was not injured, he was really taken aback.The distance between the two sides is more than a hundred steps, and the arrows shot by the Han army are still so powerful. This is not an ordinary bow, but the most powerful weapon of the Han people-the crossbow!

The Hans and Huns have been at war for many years, and the Huns have always firmly occupied the upper hand, but the crossbows of the Han people are the most troublesome weapons for them. This kind of weapon with a long range and high precision is undoubtedly the nemesis of the Huns.Especially for high-ranking generals, being targeted by crossbowmen is definitely not a pleasant thing.

However, because of the rate of fire and weight, Han knights are rarely equipped with crossbows, preferring to use bows with faster rates of fire like the Huns.It was definitely the first time in Aries King's memory that such batches of crossbows were equipped.

Aries King felt a cold air rising from the back of his spine and rushing straight to the back of his head.He didn't dare to be negligent, and subconsciously took off the riding shield that was rarely used to protect his face, and at the same time shouted sharply: "Be careful of Hangou's crossbow arrows!"

As soon as they heard the word "crossbow arrow", almost all the Hun knights were taken aback and raised their shields in unison.

Looking at the shield like fish scales from a distance, Gongsun Rongnu smacked his lips regretfully.Even without Liang Xiao's previous warning, he still has self-knowledge, knowing that the Aries King's personal guard camp is not easy to mess with, and head-on confrontation will only lead to death.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Huns to guard against crossbow arrows, he accelerated again, passing dozens of steps away from King Aries, and passed by.

Before the Aries King had time to catch his breath, Liang Xiao arrived, and both sides shot a shower of arrows. In a short while, dozens of people were hit by each arrow.

In the face of the superb archery skills of Liang Xiao and others, even the most elite guard battalion of Aries King did not take any advantage.The Aries King was stared at by Liang Xiao, and an arrow pierced through the shield and shot through his arm, causing him to scream in pain.Liang Xiao was also hit by two arrows, one in the waist and the other in the shoulder, and blood gushed out.Even though he was protected by iron armor, Liang Xiao still felt unbearable pain.

The two sides passed by the wrong horse.

Although he failed to kill the Aries King in front of the battle, the Han army rushed to the Aries King like a bamboo, which had a great psychological impact on the Huns and greatly affected their morale.Liang Xiao and the others took advantage of this opportunity to break out of the formation of the Huns in one go.

Liang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off his horse.Tu Niu'er quickly supported him, and shouted loudly: "Ah Xiao, Ah Xiao!"

"I'm fine." Liang Xiao forced himself to calm down, checked his injuries, and confirmed that his life was safe. "Quick, leave the battlefield and regroup."

"Here." The flag bearers waved the big flag, and the drummer beat the battle drum to convey Liang Xiao's order.

The soldiers of the Han army who had lost contact with the Huns gathered around Liang Xiao again, and charged twice in succession. Most of them were injured to varying degrees. A rough look showed that at least 500 people died in battle, and their horses also died. Nearly half of it was lost, but morale was still strong. The soldiers laughed loudly and deliberately showed indifference, as if they were ready to fight again at any time.

But Liang Xiao knew that they would go all out, then decline again, and exhaust themselves three times. They had confronted the Huns head-on twice in a row, and their physical strength was exhausted. If they did it again, the casualties would increase sharply, and the entire army might even be wiped out.These are all carefully selected elites. If all of them are folded here, the Han army will be seriously injured.

He ordered to leave the battlefield, keep vigilant, eat and drink as fast as possible, and recover his strength.At the same time, check the injury and carry out emergency treatment.

Liang Xiao temporarily left the battlefield, but the battlefield did not fall silent, and the battle became more intense instead.

Aries King and Li Xi collided head-on and killed each other.

Although Li Xi came from a long-distance attack and lacked physical strength, he was ecstatic when he first came to the battle and bit the Aries King himself. The hope of becoming a Marquis was in front of him, how could he not risk his life?He ordered the drums to be played, took the lead, rushed and beat, like a tiger on the mountain.

The Aries King had just been pierced by Liang Xiao, and his arm was shot by Liang Xiao. He was bleeding profusely, and couldn't even lift his shield. Then he met Li Xi, who was bursting out of the small universe, and immediately complained. He was very passive. He didn't show his strength, but Li Xi took the upper hand.

The two sides mingled together, rushing back and forth.

Just when Aries King barely blocked Li Xi's charge and was about to use his superiority in numbers to counterattack, Li Guang led the Chinese army's [-] fine cavalry to the battlefield.After a little observation of the situation on the battlefield, Li Guang immediately went into battle, leading his troops to rush to the left flank of the Aries King.

The Aries King's left wing only had [-] riders, and his strength was mediocre. He suffered a loss as soon as he fought against Li Guang, and he retreated steadily, causing heavy casualties.

With all his strength, Li Guang rushed into the Aries King's center army, and rushed to the Aries King's right wing again, to relieve Li Xi's worries.

Seeing Li Guang's battle flag, Aries King was even more discouraged.Among the generals of the Han army stationed on the border, Li Guangwei was the most famous. If he appeared here, the Han army could never have only a few thousand horses.Judging from the strength of the troops he has seen, the Han army has at least [-] cavalry.In terms of military strength, he no longer has any obvious advantages. If he continues to fight, he will definitely lose both sides, and if he fails, it will be a disastrous defeat.

It is definitely not a wise idea to pay such a heavy price to save King Loufan.

The King of Aries was timid and unwilling to fight again, so he blew the horn and was about to withdraw from the battlefield.

The Huns began to adjust their formation and prepare to retreat.Li Guang and Li Xi refused to give up, they rushed thousands of miles, and hid in Tu Shenze for so long, in order to severely injure the Aries King.Now that it is so easy to grasp the main force of Aries King, how can he let him retreat completely.

The sound of war drums resounded over the battlefield, and Li Guang ordered all the soldiers to attack with all their might.

Inspired by the sound of war drums, the morale of the soldiers of the Han army rose again, and they rushed tirelessly repeatedly, entangled the Huns tightly.

The King of Aries wanted to retreat but couldn't, complaining endlessly.

At the same time, Cheng Bushi also launched an attack on his own initiative.

King Aries left [-] riders to monitor Cheng Buzhi, which is actually just an imaginary number, the actual number of troops is less than [-], and they have been attacking Cheng Buzhi's large formation before, lacking both physical strength and morale.The Huns were used to the Han army defending in formation, so the Aries King was so relieved to let these exhausted troops with insufficient physical strength monitor Cheng Buzhi.

Unfortunately, he completely miscalculated.Just because Cheng doesn't know how to defend well doesn't mean he can't attack.In order to contain the Huns as much as possible and share some pressure for Li Guang, Cheng Bushi brazenly launched an attack without even waiting for the [-] infantry on the other side of the river to arrive.

The Huns who stayed behind were surprised.They didn't dare to confront Cheng Bushi head-on, so they could only use the speed advantage of the cavalry to harass the Han army continuously and slow down their progress.

Unmoved by Cheng Bushi, he led the army straight to the main battlefield.Seeing this scene, the Huns did not dare to be careless.If the Han army's infantry and cavalry were allowed to converge, the power would increase greatly, and the Aries King would definitely kill him.In desperation, he forcibly attacked regardless of the pros and cons of both sides in the battle.

The Huns did not know what to do in the middle of their attack.He ordered the Han army to use dense bows and crossbows to cover and shoot first, and then use swords, shields and spears to break through forcibly and push forward.Although the speed is slow, it is unstoppable.

Groups of Huns fell under the arrows of the Han army, and groups of Huns were killed in front of the Han army.The Han army roared like thunder, with momentum like a rainbow, stepping on the corpses of the Huns, stepping on the blood of the Huns, attacking and advancing.

From the Sino-Japanese War to the end of the day, Cheng Bushi led his army to break through the three lines of defense of the Huns, killed 5000 people, and rushed forward for more than ten miles, but still did not see the main battlefield.He sent out several groups of scouts one after another, but he never got any definite news.The scout said that tens of thousands of cavalry from both sides were fighting together, and it was impossible to see clearly.

Cheng Bushi was so anxious that he turned around a few times and waved his big hand vigorously.

"Take a break and prepare for the night battle."

Chang Shi Chen Anping was about to say something when the ground under his feet suddenly trembled.Chen Anping's expression changed, and he snatched an empty quiver, with the mouth of the quiver facing down, and with his ears attached to the bottom of the quiver, he listened attentively.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Bushi clenched his hands subconsciously, his heart beating like a drum.

"A large number of cavalry are coming." Chen Anping was flustered, his face was pale, and his lips were dry. "A lot of cavalry."

The corner of Cheng Bushi's mouth twitched, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.A large number of cavalry came, so the Xiongnu won. Li Guang only had [-] cavalry, and he was running for thousands of miles, but the Aries King had [-] cavalry, and he was waiting for work at leisure. There was no suspense about the outcome.

"Li Guang..." Cheng Buzhi looked up to the sky and sighed again.Although he and Li Guang have different personalities, they are kindred spirits. Seeing Li Guang's fiasco, he can't help him. It's really hopeless.He regretted it too late.

"If... Wei Qing and the others are here, maybe there is still a chance."

"General, this is not your fault. If Wei Qing and others are not allowed to support Han Gong, how can Han Gong and Loufan King stand in a stalemate?"

"Well, say one thousand, say ten thousand, or..." Cheng Bushi shook his head. "We still have too few cavalry."

Chen Anping also sighed, just as he was about to remind Cheng Bushi to give him the order to prepare to retreat, when the drums of battle sounded passionately in the distance.

Chen Anping was taken aback, and exchanged glances with Cheng Bushi, and they couldn't help but brighten up.The sound of war drums?It wasn't the Huns who came, but the Han army?

At this time, a fast horse galloped towards him from a distance, and the knight got off his horse in front of the battle, and rushed over with a scramble.

"General, great victory, great victory, General Li Guang defeated the Aries King, and he is on his way."

"What?" Cheng Buzhi yelled, grabbed the scout by the collar, and lifted him up. "What did you say?"

The scout was mentally prepared, and laughed loudly: "General, we won, we won. General Li Guang defeated the main force of King Aries, and we won."

"Ha! Hahaha!" Cheng Bushi opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Chen Anping.Chen Anping also opened his eyes wide, with ecstasy on his face.The two laughed out loud at the same time.Cheng Bushi let go of the scouts, drew out the long sword at his waist, and screamed loudly.

"Beat the drums, attack the whole army, entangle the Huns, and kill them all."
