Drunkenly Resting Head Against Rivers and Mountains Chapter 231: Unexpected attack
Oriental first, the fish belly became white. I do n’t know when, a ray of sunlight passed through the chaotic sky like an arrow and spilled onto the earth, and then the red sun broke through the clouds. M
It was dawn, and the long night finally retreated from the howling of the wolves in the distance.
Tian Ainu crawled out of the sleeping bag, stretched his waist, moved his muscles, started to pack up, and was ready to wash.
The ashes that burned during dinner were far away from her place, and the remaining snow chicken bones were buried deeply with the ashes.
This little woman has abundant field survival experience. She knows that even a little grease can attract ants, and ants will attract lizards, and lizards will attract snakes. There are various kinds of poisonous snakes in the grasslands of Hexi. When the herdsmen are grazing, it is often the case that livestock are killed by poisonous snakes.
Although Tian Ainu sprinkled sulfur powder around the accommodation, I am afraid that there is no exotic viper that is not afraid of this smell. I am alone and still be careful.
Brush your teeth and wash your face again. After confirming that it is correct, Tian Ainu took the Zen stick and re-entered the horse. Just like the three monks in the west traveling to learn from the sutra, they embarked on a journey again.
The bonfire in the camel city was also extinguished at the dawn of the sky. People came out of the tents to pack up their clothes, and the entire camel city began to get busy. The sacks and boxes and cages were reloaded on the bullock carts, tied to the hunchbacks, and those who prepared breakfast and packed their bags were responsible for each.
While waiting for them to clean up and eat breakfast, the dew on the grassland was almost dried by the sun. The huge caravan continued to set off.
It seems that everything is still the same as usual, Yang Fan thought it would still be spent in peace today. But as it was approaching noon, the guard whistle in front of the right suddenly ran back at full speed, and Lao Yuan blew the alert horn. Then a dull sound of horseshoes sounded, and a black line appeared at the end of the vast grassland, which quickly turned into a rolling tide.
"Prepare! Copy guys!"
'Little Flying Admiral' Zhang Yixing shouted with excitement, not caring about the swift rain of horseshoes trembling the earth. These are the countless cavalry who marched in line, and the horseshoe sound that might be possible when the horse ran.
Gao Siji and Xiong Kaishan gripped the saber under their ribs nervously. The Gaoshe chicken uses a long narrow single knife, while the figure tall and strong Xiong Kaishan uses a big machete with a very thick back. Weighing more than thirty kilograms, let alone cut people, it is more than enough to smash people. The knives of this knife are hollow. After inserting the wooden handle, it becomes a long-handled machete.
The two clenched their steel knives, and just after preparing for battle, they saw a scene that made them stunned.
Zhang Yi's "Little Flying General" is also preparing. They took out a long bow and a hard crossbow from the horseback and the bullock cart, all of which are brand new military bows and crossbows. .
As the main long-range weapon, the bow and crossbow are equipped with the vast majority of the Tang Dynasty army. The bow's equipment rate is 100%, and the crossbow's equipment rate is one-fifth. There are always powerful nomads around China. But it has never been seen that they used heavy cavalry as the main force. This is no accident. The Chinese nation has invented a lethal crossbow since the Warring States Period. With such a powerful bow and crossbow equipment rate, the heavy cavalry is simply A group of live targets.
However. After all, it ’s the army, the group of people right now ...
Gao Sheji and Xiong Kaishan watched a bow and crossbow skillfully taken by those people. The bow had a longbow and a horn bow. The longbow was used for infantry, the horn bow was used for cavalry, and the crossbow It is a light crossbow used by a single person such as an arm and crossbow.
Look at this class of equipment. Gao Sheji and Xiong Kaishan were relieved. Although they are scouts, they are not ignorant of the tactics in the army. There are more than 700 people on the scene. The enemies rolling in from a distance are about two thousand people. However, they have entered the actual control area of Tubo and suddenly appeared here. This cavalry is necessarily a Tubo tribe or a horse bandit composed of Tubo, and the Tubo are not good at shooting.
Because of the impact of the range of the bow and crossbow, the enemy rider needs to rush within 150 steps to launch. At such a short distance, according to the speed of the bow and crossbow, the enemy rider rushes into the front and enters the melee, only enough for you to shoot three arrows. Therefore, there is a saying that "the battle is no more than three arrows", but that is only a theoretical statement.
In fact, since the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties, the crossbow has played an important role in the Chinese battlefield. For thousands of years, generals have long thought of ways to remedy this fatal flaw in actual combat. Batch shooting, the second is the cross shot of frontal, side, direct, and projectile, as well as the use of terrain and artificial obstacles to delay the enemy's approach speed.
Under such circumstances, only heavy cavalry equipped like tin cans can barely rush to the front under the intensive arrow rain, but the opponent is not only the crossbowmen, Gao Sheji and Xiong Kaishan Now I was watching those people equipped with crossbows, and pulled out a steel gun from the bullock cart, and quickly assembled into a sharp lance that could block the cavalry.
In this case, despite the large number of opponents, there is no way to bargain. If the situation is really unfavorable, as long as the abundance is temporarily abandoned and the method of Li Ling ’s riding and shooting warfare is used, these two thousand enemy forces are not enough to look at .
At that time, Han general Li Ling led 5,000 people against the 30,000 cavalry of the Huns, shot thousands of people, and retreated. The Huns were shocked, and they mobilized more than 80,000 riders to chase them down. These 5,000 people relied on a crossbow that was far superior to each other, and they fought and walked. Each battle, they would shoot thousands of enemies, until the arrow Only after exhaustion will he be defeated and captured.
At this time, 5,000 Hanqi had been chased and killed by more than one hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry, killing tens of thousands of enemy chiefs, there were actually more than 3,000 people jumping around, but there were more than 1,000 casualties. After Li Ling was captured, he sighed in the sky and said that it would be enough to give him dozens of arrows each to get rid of the chase and return to the Han realm.
Judging from the familiarity of these sturdy guards like horse bandits with bows and crossbows, all of them must be proficient in cavalry. Zai.
At this time, those people have been rushing closer and closer, only to see nearly two thousand cavalrymen, rushing to the skies, coming from the wild. From their clothes and the messy weapons they hold, it is obviously not a regular army, no A horse bandit is a tribe who wants to rob a caravan.
Shen Mu sees this scene. Frowning, he ordered: "Ready to ride!"
This armed force escorted him, the hidden patriarch, and naturally had sufficient financial resources to arm these hundreds of people to the teeth, but such armed forces could not be used until the last minute, because once these weapons are used, they will immediately You will be mistaken for the Tang Dynasty army to sneak in secret.
It is impossible to wipe out this cavalry. Once the news spreads, it will cause them a lot of trouble, so empty weapon is at hand. It is useless until the point of survival.
"Third Brother?"
Zhang Yi carried the knife, and the horse ran to him, Shen Mu whispered a few words. Seemingly telling him the advantages and disadvantages, Zhang Yi nodded and said, "I know, a bunch of local chickens and dogs, without these bows and crossbows, just clean them up."
Zhang Yi Tima rushed to the front of the defensive front formed by the camel team and shouted: "Bulldog, the person who takes you to protect the third brother, the other brothers, rush with me!"
Come and ride like a wave, and it ’s fierce. Zhang Yi raised his sharp long sword, screamed loudly in the sky, and led Wubaiqi to meet him bravely.
Gao Sheji and Xiong Kaishan both eagerly tried to look at Yang Fan. Before they became scouts, they were also brave soldiers in the army. Seeing this scene, I really want to rush up and fight. Yang Fan rode on the horse and glanced at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu smiled and said: "Why use a sabre to kill chickens! Erlang, you can't go!"
Yang Fan smiled. Of course, he knew why Shen Mu would not let him go, in Shen Mu's eyes. His value is far more than a warrior. He has no eyes for his swords and guns. Shen Mu is not willing to make him surprised. He also wanted to see how powerful the private soldier Shen Mu was, so he only shook his sword to Gao Sheji and Xiong Kaishan, and whispered, "Come on now, I'll wait here to be a scout."
Gao Sheji and Xiong Kaishan had no choice but to let go of the horse reins and join the alert team.
Five hundred people are like a sharp arrow cluster, straight into the riding team. At the same time, a large flag was also raised in the back team. The white flag had only a black arrow in it. This is the flag of 'Little Flying General' Zhang Yi, which means that once this battle Being detected by others is just a horse thief versus a horse thief.
"Roar Roar Roar ..."
Zhang Yi led the horse thieves and screamed into the enemy lineup. In the past few years, his team wandered around Longyou, Turkic and Tubo sites and was notoriously difficult. The unknown horse thief team As soon as I saw the flying arrow banner that was raised in the back of them, I knew that this time "stepping on the plate" had an error, and mistakenly regarded the ancestor of the thief as a fat sheep, but at this time, I had no choice but to bite my teeth. dash forward.
"Clanging clang", a burst of acid-toothed weapon impact, wielding a sharp sword like a snow flake, and a spear like a thunder spear, as soon as the two sides confronted, countless people screamed Fell under the horse. The two sides were entangled like a group of angry beasts, and people shouted horses and blood spewed, killing well.
Yang Fan assisted his brothers in rebelling when he was in Nanyang, but that kind of battle is closer to mountain warfare, and that kind of small country, the military movement that can be dispatched, and the rebels that need to be dealt with are very few. Horse battle, such a large number of battles, he saw it for the first time.
Zhang Yi ’s people have been wandering around Longyou in recent years, fighting against officers and soldiers, fighting against the Tubo people, fighting against the Turkic people, and fighting against other horse thieves. They are courageously aggressive and unstoppable. They are not only personally brave, they are particularly good at cooperating. They are a group of three horses, with spears and swords, defending and attacking, long and short, far and near. .
"Miao! Miao!"
Yang Fan is good at martial arts ~ IndoMTL.com ~ I can see the ingenuity in it at a glance.
This joint strike technique is of course ingenious, and it also benefits from long-term cooperation. It is very effective in killing, often making opponents lose their lives and kill each other. This entire process was just a matter of moments. The three immediately turned to another opponent. As the positions of the three were different, the main attack and defense changed at any time.
The other party originally wanted to divide troops to attack the camp where Shen Mu and Yang Fan were located, but at the sight of these five hundred people so brave, it was like a broken bamboo, and there were nearly two hundred people in front of those goods waiting for them.
Shen Mu stood in the line, seeing the opponent ’s position shaken a bit, he could n’t help but palm up and smiled and said, “Xiaofei will surely succeed, they are going to lose!”
The words were still over, the tremor of the ground suddenly became more obvious, the dust was flying in the distance, and the black pressure pressed a piece of fine riding like a big net, and swooped towards this side!
Shen Mu's face suddenly changed, shouting loudly: "bow and crossbow alert!"
