Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 607 First Formation
King Ruoqiang crossed the stone tablet and walked forward for another ten miles. When he saw the mushroom-like tent in the valley, he immediately became excited.

As a striker, the biggest advantage is that you can plunder first.Especially for these weak opponents with limited strength and limited wealth, robbing in front of everyone is simply the only thing to be happy about.After walking such a long distance, the forward can eat a piece of meat, but the rear army may not even be able to drink soup.

King Ruoqiang immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and sent scouts to climb high and look into the distance to check the terrain.

It turned out to his satisfaction, and it was a very unfavorable location for an ambush.The place is spacious, and the distance between the north and south mountain ridges is nearly three miles. It is impossible to block such a large gap without 2 people.However, the terrain on the east side is relatively narrow, and the number of people who can pass in a short period of time is limited.

King Ruoqiang felt that he might have picked up a bargain, so he ran into the opponent's back by mistake.

King Qi Mo and the others also thought so. They were so excited that they blew their trumpets to prepare for the battle. They even blushed because of who would launch the first wave of offensive.In their view, there is no enemy worth mentioning in front of them, only a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.This is definitely not the time to be polite. Whether this expedition can be worth the cost depends entirely on this battle.

The sound of the horn echoed repeatedly, excited, even a little excited.

Liang Xiao sat on Mingzhu's back, looked at the enemies who were forming an array in the distance, and couldn't help laughing.He turned his head to look at the panicked camp, and couldn't help curling his lips.A group of cowards who were frightened by Sirius. Before Sirius arrived, there were only a few thousand forwards, and they were in a mess.

I hope that Batu and March can stabilize their position and become famous in one battle.After this battle, he will march westward to control more areas, which will be handed over to Batu.To take over this important task, Batu must first prove his courage and strength.

Batu also understood this.Although he was nervous, he still stood in front of the formation with more than a hundred horsemen.Many of these knights were Aliusu's subordinates. Although they were not the most powerful, they were people that Batu could trust, and they were equipped with the best equipment, all of which were Han army standard equipment.Among the rebellious army, these people are the last reliance for him to win or survive.

There are more than 1000 knights behind Batu.Half of these knights were armored, and they were considered to be the best equipped force except for the knights under Liang Xiao's command.Half of them belonged to the old tribe of the Yue clan, and most of them owned a pair of armor; half of them were captives of other tribes. Very few of them had complete armor, most of them were simple leather armor, and even the shield in their hands was just a piece of wood.

However, this is already a rare powerful cavalry within a radius of 500 miles. Other tribes have as many as [-] people, as few as a hundred or even dozens of people, so they can only be mixed together.Seeing the three or four thousand riders on the opposite side, many people were so frightened that their faces were pale and trembling.If Batu hadn't arranged for March to supervise the battle behind the formation, these people might have run away long ago.

Batu was also nervous.But now, he has no way out.The people around him are the last strength of the Yuezhi east of Congling, and the land under his feet is also the last pasture of the Yuezhi east of Congling.Qilian Mountain is already the territory of the Han people, he dare not even think about it, now he can only seize this last chance as much as possible.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao had told him before the battle that he didn't need to be the main force in this battle, and Liang Xiao would personally defeat the invading enemy.All he had to do was to behave calmly, show the posture of a hero, and order an attack at the right time to expand the results of the battle.

Batu had no other choice, but hoped that Liang Xiao could defeat the enemy and set off to victory, and he could also take this opportunity to establish his prestige.

He raised his clairvoyance again and looked at the battlefield in the distance.

The leaders of the various tribes looked at him enviously.Apart from the generals of the Han army, Batu was the only one who possessed the divine weapon of clairvoyance.This is enough to prove how close his relationship with the Han people is. If anyone wants to harm him, he must first consider Liang Xiao behind him.

Feeling the envy of the crowd, Batu felt a sense of pride in his heart, and became a little more calm.

In the eyes of thousands of miles, the opponent has already formed an array, and more than 200 riders are out of the array, galloping lightly towards the depths of the valley.

On the hillside to the north, Liang Xiao raised his hand and gave the order to attack.

The battle drums sounded, and the horns also sounded, and the battle flag of the Eagle Tribe waved. It should be Huang Ruo who led the army to attack.Batu laughed.He knew that besides him, Huang Ruo was the leader of the tribe that Liang Xiao trusted more.Without him, Huang Ruo would be the most ideal leader of the eastern part of Nanshan.Because of him, no matter how good Huang's performance was, he could only give way by three points.

This is the first-to-serve reward.Thinking of this, Batu felt very proud.

Huang Ruo didn't have the heart to think about these things at the moment, he won the opportunity of the first battle, he was determined to perform in front of Liang Xiao, and led more than [-] horses from his tribe to rush down the hillside to meet the opponent.Everyone knows that this kind of tentative battle cannot affect the overall situation, but he must let Liang Xiao see his loyalty and courage. Only in this way can he gain Liang Xiao's trust and gain greater benefits.

"Kill—" Huang Ruo stepped on the stirrup and stood up, raising her knife and shouting.

The knights of the Eagle Tribe responded one after another, the horses gradually accelerated, and the chaotic hooves gradually joined together and merged into one.

The two sides were more than three hundred steps apart, and the archers began to nock their arrows and shoot continuously.They didn't confront them head-on, but staggered by about thirty or fifty steps, tacitly choosing their most familiar way of riding and shooting.

The string hummed, the arrow left the string, rushed into the sky, drew an arc, and swooped down again.At this time, almost all the knights could not take care of protecting themselves. Even if they had riding shields, they could not raise them in time.The Han people not only brought excellent equipment, but also miraculous medical skills. They did not use wizards to treat injuries, but specialized medical craftsmen.As long as they don't hit the nail on the head, the Han doctors will have a chance to help them save their lives.

Thinking of those seemingly omnipotent Han Chinese, the knights of the Eagle Tribe gained a bit of confidence. They shot continuously, shooting waves of arrows into the opponent's formation, and at the same time endured the opponent's shooting.

Huang Ruo supported Liang Xiao for a long time, and also got more than a dozen pairs of Han army standard armor.He arranged all these knights on the far left side of the position, facing the opponent directly.With the protection of these armors, it is difficult for ordinary arrows to injure vital organs, and the survival rate will be greatly improved.With their cover, the loss of the Eagle tribe can be minimized.

For a moment, the two sides passed by each other.Nearly a hundred people were shot and fell off their horses. Some died on the spot, but many more were injured and howled.The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became a little more tragic.

Huang Ruo didn't have time to count them all, so he took a cursory glance and let out a long breath.His losses were relatively small, and he had already secured victory in this battle.Without saying a word, he immediately ordered the trumpet to be blown, and turned back to fight again.

His opponents did the same, turning their horses' heads and charging at each other again.

After two rounds, the cumulative effect of Eagle Tribe's superiority in numbers and equipment appeared. Only half of the opponents were still sitting on horseback, and many people were shot by arrows and injured, while the loss of Eagle Tribe was very large. limited.Huang Ruo immediately decided to give up riding and shooting, and launched a decisive close combat.

With an order, the knights of the Eagle Tribe put away their bows and arrows, drew out their sabers, raised their spears, and charged towards their opponents.

Seeing the knights of the Eagle Tribe rushing towards them face to face, looking like they were fighting to the death, their already frustrated morale suddenly collapsed, and many people subconsciously chose to evade.Seeing this scene, Huang Ruo was overjoyed, ordered to speed up again, and rushed out in the first place.

The knights equipped with the Han army's standard armor quickly gathered around Huang Ruo and took on the important task of breaking the formation.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Boom!" When the two armies met, Huang Ruo and the dozen or so knights around him slashed left and right. The sharp swords cut through the opponent's leather armor and skin, leaving scars of killing.The splash of blood made them even more excited.

The two sides broke up as soon as they touched each other. Before Huang Ruo turned his head, he heard the sound of war drums on the hillside.He couldn't help laughing out loud.It must be that Liang Xiao saw the battle situation and cheered him up with the sound of drums, congratulating him.The victory was decided, he turned his horse's head and looked back at the battlefield.

The knights of the Eagle Tribe reined in one after another, slowed down, and gathered around Huang Ruo.

There were not many opponents left, and the rest also fled, without the courage to turn back and fight.

Huang Ruo raised his saber and howled fiercely, his face flushed with excitement.

The knights of the Eagle Tribe raised their weapons excitedly and roared in unison.

On the hillside, the drums were loud.

In the distance, Batu lowered his clairvoyance and laughed. "Blow the horn and cheer for Huang Ruo. We won the first battle, and we won so easily. God bless the man, God bless General Liang, and God bless us."

The horn soldier immediately took a deep breath and blew the horn.

The soldiers of the various tribes in the formation couldn't see the situation on the battlefield, they only knew that the two sides had already engaged in battle, and they were nervous.Hearing the sound of the horn, they knew that the Eagle Tribe had won. They breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated each other happily.

On the opposite ground, King Ruoqiang and the others looked gloomy.Although it was only a small-scale temptation, they were greatly surprised that their own side lost so quickly and so thoroughly.Two hundred knights went out to fight, and only three or forty came back alive, while the opponent's losses were negligible. How big is the difference in combat power between the two sides?
This is just the Qiang people attached to the Han people. If the Han army goes out to fight, how powerful will they have?If those tribes were as powerful as the Eagle tribe, they would have no chance of winning this battle.

Unexpectedly, the stone tablet not far behind resurfaced in the minds of countless people.

If you advance, you will die, if you retreat, you will live.

Now that they have advanced here, can they leave alive?The more King Ruoqiang thought about it, the more worried he became, and immediately ordered another fight.This time, he sent a thousand horses and ordered another thousand horses to stand by.Since individual soldiers are invincible in combat strength, they have to give full play to their superiority in strength, otherwise they will undoubtedly lose.

The horn sounded again, this time a little less exciting and a little more tragic.

Two thousand cavalry galloped out of the battle formation from the left and right sides, one thousand cavalry rushed forward, and one thousand cavalry trailed behind, stopping three hundred steps away from the main formation.

Liang Xiao also issued an order.Xie Guanglong went out, followed by two hundred well-trained Qiang cavalry.They kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the war horse ran down the hillside with brisk steps, accelerated rapidly, and met the thousand horsemen who were galloping lightly.

The formation they put up is different from the common formation of the Qiang people. It is not the long formation commonly used in riding and archery, nor is it the arrow formation or geese formation of charging, but a horizontal formation.The two hundred riders are divided into four rows, front and rear, with fifty riders in each row, about ten steps apart from each other, and thirty or forty steps away from each other.What's even more strange is that the knights in the front row didn't take out their bows and set up their arrows. They put down the spears in their hands, ran faster and faster, and rushed straight over.

The thousand Qiang cavalry who were facing the battle turned pale with fright, they had never encountered such an opponent before.What are they going to do, charge? 200 people against 1000 people?What is the difference between this and courting death.

Xie Guanglong and the others didn't have such an idea. They were full of confidence and charged forward without hesitation.Their horses ran fast and crashed into the formation.The spear flew forward, and with the speed of the galloping horse, the sharp spearhead easily pierced through the opponent's armor and body, stabbing the opponent off the horse.

In a short while, forty or fifty knights died in Huangquan.

Immediately afterwards, the second row of knights accelerated, passed through the middle of the first row of knights, and crashed into the formation of Qiang cavalry.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" The sound of the spear entering the body was endless, one after another knight was stabbed by the spear, and fell off the horse with a scream.

Before the Qiang knights could react, the third row of knights accelerated and charged in, like harvesting crops, stabbing down dozens of Qiang knights again.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, four rows of knights took turns to accelerate and charge, and they turned and hit the Qiang people's formation like a sledgehammer, hitting the Qiang people's heads fiercely, smashing the Qiang people's formation into seven pieces. scattered.Their speed is not very fast, and there are no fancy changes, they just launch waves of charges, piercing the spears in their hands precisely into the opponent's body.

Compared with the charge of the knights of the Eagle Tribe, their charge was more fierce and fierce.They didn't shout or scream, they just killed silently.The spear in his hand is like an emissary, every time he strikes, it will spark a flower of blood.

After a few glasses of wine, the two sides disengaged.

Xie Guanglong raised his spear and reined in his horse.

All the knights raised their spears and reined in their horses.

There are spears like a forest.Even if you don't look at the knights and horses, but just look at the rows of spears, you know that their losses are minimal.But the battlefield behind them was littered with corpses. Countless Qiang knights fell in a pool of blood. The surviving knights rode their horses and galloped into the distance. Looking into the distance, as if wanting to see clearly who the opponent is and why it is so terrifying.

Seeing this contrasting scene, Batu was even more excited.He clenched his fists tightly and shouted: "Cai! Blow the trumpet, help Captain Xie, and our warriors!"

The passionate horn sounded again, echoing over the battlefield, and could not be subdued for a long time.
