The cavalry of the Xiyan Army formed three lines, about thirty steps apart. Each line had about 150 cavalry, and they were closely together. The distance between them was only about two steps. The horses did not gallop, but
Slowly walking forward, the cavalry on the horse are all wearing two layers of leather armor or mail armor. Even the war horses are also covered with hard leather vests. For the nomadic cavalry, it is already very difficult.
The equipment is so sophisticated that even if it cannot be compared with the armored cavalry with both men and horses, it can still be regarded as a heavily armored cavalry with excellent protection.
Tan Daoji murmured: "Is this the legendary armor, cavalry, and cavalry uniform?"
Wang Zhen'e shook his head: "No, the real armor and cavalry are all equipped with men and horses wearing iron armor. Ordinary bows and arrows or even ordinary crossbows cannot shoot in. They run rampant on the battlefield like armored chariots. Although the men and horses are all wearing armor,
But it is not iron armor, it is just leather armor, and it is not invulnerable. The Xiyan Army's current armored cavalry equipment is in the hands of Murong Yong's central army. The other troops and horses use this kind of leather armor, although it is not as good as armor.
Even though they are equipped with both cavalry and cavalry, they still have obvious advantages in front of ordinary infantry."
Tan Daoji laughed: "It's a pity that they have found the wrong opponent this time. The heroes of the Beifu Army are all iron-blooded men with a man in their fists and a horse in their arms. They also have sophisticated equipment. I'm afraid these Xiyan thieves will have
There’s no coming back!”
As he spoke, the first line of the Xiyan Army had advanced to a place less than 150 steps away from the Beifu Army's position. Tan Pingzhi tightened his bowstring tightly and looked coldly ahead. Behind him,
More than thirty people emerged from the shield. As these people filed out, several piles of firewood began to be lit behind the shield. Black smoke rose with the light of the fire, gradually submerging everyone's figures in a cloud of smoke.
Being surrounded.
Duan Damu, who was riding on the second line, saw it clearly and laughed: "Brothers, have you seen that the Jin army wants to set off smoke as a cover to escape? Don't let them escape. Shoot arrows. Shoot them to death."
These Jin troops!"
The first line of cavalry had now advanced to a place less than a hundred steps away from the Beifu Army's formation. In the smoke, there were vague figures moving back and forth, mixed with inaudible Chinese, and these cavalrymen nocked arrows one after another.
The bowstring fired randomly into the smoke, and only a few screams were heard, followed by the sounds of bodies falling to the ground. Of course, more of them were when the bows and arrows hit the rafts and wooden shields.
, that "ding-ding" sound that penetrates the wood.
Next to Duan Damu, a deputy general said excitedly: "Headman, please give me the order. I am willing to lead my brothers on the front line to clean up the mess, otherwise the Jin army will run away."
Duan Damu smiled and waved his hand: "Why panic? We have horses, but they only have two legs. How can they outrun us? Be careful with the Wannian Ship, and just march in in formation, shooting arrows as you go, waiting for the smoke
Disperse completely and everything will be clear."
As he spoke, he made gestures, and the order soldiers around him quickly distributed his orders in the form of flags, drums, and words. The forwards of more than 500 people still maintained their intact formation, moving step by step.
In front of us, we were less than fifty steps away from the smoke-filled Jin army array. Even the shields placed in the smoke and the shadows of several rickety carts were clearly visible.
.
However, right in front of these wooden signs, stood a strong man like an iron tower. A gust of wind blew by, blowing away the thick smoke. Only Tan Ping was seen standing in front of the formation like an iron tower, with his left hand
Holding the bow and pulling the string with his right hand, the four twisted strings of animal sinews were stretched tightly on the face. The Xiyan sergeants suddenly found that there was such a big man in front of them, holding the bow towards themselves. They were all shocked and couldn't help but froze.
back to its original place.
Tan Pingzhi shouted loudly: "Xiyan Army, Xiyan Army, you have shot enough, now it's our turn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers loosened, and the bowstring quickly passed through his tense facial muscles. A shrill whistling sound came from the air. The arrow shot out like a meteor chasing the moon. Even the knights of Xiyan
I didn't have time to see how the arrow was shot. I just felt that my eyes were blurred. The leading knight had a bloody hole as big as a fist from his chest to his back. There were four layers of leather armor on the front and back, plus
The entire body was actually penetrated by the arrow, and the power of the arrow was so great that after it was shot through, the corpse was still sitting on the horse, motionless, and the man's mouth was open.
He was so shocked that even though he was dead, he didn't understand how this arrow killed him. There were only the transparent blood holes from the front and back, and the internal organs and blood poured out like a fountain. It even made people forget to think about that.
Where did the arrow fly to?
There was a long neighing sound of the war horse, accompanied by the sound of falling to the ground. A rider on the second line was hit by an arrow on the horse's head, which went directly through the eye. He immediately collapsed to the ground, and the rider on the horse also followed.
After falling down and chewing mud, everyone finally realized that this arrow was the one that penetrated the first line of riders. After penetrating this person, it flew another thirty steps and killed him.
He hit a mount behind, which shows how amazing the power of this arrow is!
Tan Pingzhi's voice sounded cold, revealing terrifying murderous intent: "Rapid fire, continuous fire!"
Following Tan Pingzhi's order, more than a dozen "corpses" that were lying on the ground jumped up from the ground. This time, the Xiyan sergeants saw clearly that they all held strong bows and powerful crossbows in their hands, and they were all pointed directly at the target.
The target was reached, but in contrast, more than thirty strong figures emerged from behind the shield in an instant, holding repeating crossbows, and pointed at the target almost instantly.
Duan Damu woke up from his dream and shouted: "Shoot the arrows, shoot them to death!"
But just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of bowstrings ringing, but it did not come from the first line of cavalry in front of him, but from the bows and arrows in the hands of the Beifu Army infantry on the opposite side. The sound of "wuwu" piercing the air was endless.
At a distance of more than forty steps, even an ordinary soldier could be killed with one blow, let alone these Beifu Army soldiers who were well-trained and had amazing arm strength.
This time, each of them aimed at a target. As soon as they waited for Tan Ping's order, they all let go and released their strings. They only fired once. More than fifty Xiyan cavalry were all targeting vital points without armor such as the center of their eyebrows, eyes, and throat.
The arrows hit them everywhere, and they barely had time to grunt as they fell off their horses one after another and died. The speed was so fast that many cavalrymen even had no time to notice their fallen mounts, and they were still moving forward as slowly as before.
