"No, it's a trap again!" Liu Sixuan's soldiers tightened their scalps and slowed down decisively. At the same time, they searched the ground with their eyes to prevent the horse under his crotch from rushing over and falling into the trap of the woman in green.
The woman in green clothes calmly dropped a piece of leather, then drew her bow and arrow, aimed at the soldier Liu Wudu's head and shot at him, "Whoosh - Whoosh - Whoosh -", three times
Arrows in a row.
Unexpectedly, the woman's shooting skills were so good. Liu Wu was so frightened that his soldiers were so frightened. He quickly used the side of the steel knife to protect his neck, and at the same time, he quickly dropped his body to the horse's belly and hid in the stirrup.
Unexpectedly, the three feathered arrows were so high and fluttering that they flew past half a foot above his head. Then they lost their strength and fell softly more than ten steps behind him.
"What's wrong with your accuracy? I'm scared to death!" Liu Wu's mouth corners immediately began to turn up, and he sneered and turned his body back on the horse.
However, before he could sit down firmly, the three feather arrows suddenly exploded one after another where they landed, "Bang, bang, bang!" The sound was not too loud, but it made people's hearts tremble one after another.
When a person suddenly hears the explosion, he is frightened to death. What’s more, a war horse is more sensitive than a person?
Immediately, the mount under Liu Wu's crotch even jumped up to the maximum speed. Looking at the other soldiers, they were also accelerated by the mount, and they didn't bother to search anymore. The woman in green was on the ground earlier.
What mechanism was spilled?
They didn't care about the search, but the agency was always there.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Wu and others were led forward by their mounts for forty or fifty steps. Then, one after another, the horses fell down while running wildly, causing them and the riders on their backs to lose their heads.
Broken blood flow.
"Be careful, be careful -" The dead soldier Xiao Dalin sent out to explore the road was a little slower. When he saw six or seven of Liu's soldiers suddenly falling over, he quickly screamed and pulled the horse, and at the same time tried hard to lift it.
He held the signal flag in his hand to warn the large group of people.
The two pursuers merged into one, and under the command of Xiao Dalin, they slowed down at the same time to avoid another large-scale trampling.
Several experienced "pedestrians" took the initiative to jump off their mounts and walk to the ground to explore what the mechanism was. After a while, three four-cornered steel nails were presented to Xiao Dalin and Liu Sixuan.
It is about the size of a fist, with four sharp corners pointing evenly in one direction. No matter how you throw it, there will be three sharp corners poking the ground and one sharp corner pointing upwards.
"It's a Juma nail!" Xiao Dalin has been in the army for a long time and is certainly no stranger to this thing. However, the Juma nails encountered in the army in the past were at least the size of a copper basin and were extremely rough. As long as people and people
If the horse is a little more careful, he can successfully avoid it.
This is the first time I have seen something like this today, which is small and exquisite, well-made, but difficult for both humans and horses to guard against!
Although the hooves of the war horse are protected by iron boots (horseshoes), the protection range is only limited to the majority of the arc protruding from the horse's hoof. In order to avoid affecting the speed of the war horse and the flexibility of the four hooves, the center of the horse's hoof and the concave rear end are
, never know how to shoe horses.
Although the horse-repelling nail dropped by the woman in green was only the size of a fist, the erect spikes were enough to pierce the heart of the horse's hoof, and it was also long enough to make up for the concave part of the rear end of the horse's hoof.
While they were talking, someone had already counted the losses. Of the seven soldiers of the Liu family who fell one after another, four had their spines broken, two had their arms broken, and one had his foot stuck in a stirrup.
One of his thighs was deformed by the weight of the fallen horse. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would have to live with crutches for the rest of his life.
In Daliao, the soldiers were cultivated by the generals at their own expense and were a private branch. Without even touching Han Qing's shadow, seven more soldiers were lost. Liu Siduan's heart throbbed with pain.
And Xiao Dalin also knew that if he continued to chase like this, he might not be able to do anything to Han Qing until dark. He gritted his teeth and ordered a change of tactics again.
This time, he divided his wolf cavalry into five teams, leaving only a hundred people in each team, but brought 200 horses, and went to chase Han Qing separately. The Khitan warriors who gave up their horses returned on foot.
Camp and no longer participate in the pursuit of prey.
When Liu Siduan saw this, he simply copied it and divided the brothers under his command into two waves. Five hundred brothers with good physical strength were divided into five teams with one man and two horses to hunt the target. The other five hundred or so who had insufficient physical strength,
Then turn back on foot.
Even if there are only a hundred wolf riders left in each team, the number of people is still more than four times that of Han Qing's side.
As long as one of the ten teams of wolf cavalry can catch up to Han Qing and entangle him, the other nine teams of wolf cavalry can surround him in time and cut Han Qing and his companions into pieces.
Ten teams spread out on the plain, with a width of two to three miles. No matter how clever and sufficient the mechanisms in Han Qing's hands were, it would be impossible to deploy them over such a wide area.
Ever since, on the north bank of the Yellow River, in the wilderness in early winter, a strange and spectacular scene appeared.
Han Qing and more than 20 people formed a narrow team in front and galloped wildly. A thousand Daliao wolf cavalry were divided into ten groups and formed a fan-shaped formation to pursue them.
The two sides chased for more than half an hour, and the distance between them finally narrowed again. The four teams of Khitan warriors saw the opportunity and clamped the horses' belly with their legs, squeezing the horses' physical strength to the limit and facing Han Qing and others from the side.
People initiated an outflank.
Han Qing's weapons were limited and it was impossible to throw them at the four groups of pursuers at the same time. He could only change his bow and arrow, continue to ride his horse to escape, and turn around to shoot back.
His archery skills were very good, Wu You and other veterans of the Zhenrong Army were not weak, and Ye Qinglian's archery skills were far superior to everyone else. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, he shot more than thirty wolf riders off their horses.
However, the other wolf riders found that the scattered outflanking tactic was effective. Instead of being frightened by the tragic death of their comrade, they were stimulated to become a bit more ferocious. They let out a series of ghostly cries and howls, and continued to draw closer to each other with arrows.
distance between.
"Change the grenade, light the grenade tied with a rope and throw it over!" Upon seeing this, Han Qing decisively ordered a change of tactics.
Wu You and others had followed him for so long and had already formed a tacit understanding with him. After hearing the order, they immediately put away their bows and arrows, took off the grenades that had been prepared long ago from the back of the saddle, lit them, and quickly swung them in a circle above their heads with a rope.
He suddenly let go in the direction of the pursuers.
The accuracy of flying rope thunder is very poor, but to deal with war horses, you don't need any accuracy in the first place.
More than a dozen grenades fell into and around the pursuing troops one after another, and in an instant, explosions occurred one after another.
The Liao army's horses had not been specially trained, nor had their ears plugged with silk wool. They were not killed or injured in the explosion, but they were all frightened and screamed, raising their front hooves and throwing the Khitan warriors on the saddle one by one.
to the ground.
The number of more than 360 Khitan warriors was suddenly reduced by more than 70. The remaining 280 or so Khitan warriors were unable to control their mounts. They were driven around by frightened horses and collided with each other if they were not careful.
, it’s another disaster.
Han Qing's own team is also having a hard time.
Although the war horses he originally brought had been trained to adapt to the sound of explosions, the newly captured mounts were exactly the same as those of the pursuers.
Fortunately, the team was far away from the grenade's impact point and the explosion was not as loud as near the impact point, so no one was thrown to the ground by the frightened horse.
However, more than thirty captured war horses broke away from the team and fled into the open wilderness with mournful screams!
"Five miles to the west, there is a wooden bridge. I have buried gunpowder under the bridge in advance. Ye Nuxia, you are good at it, so come with me to cut off the rear. When everyone has crossed the bridge, the two of us will
Light the gunpowder!" At this moment, Han Qing had no time to care about the fleeing horse. He raised his head to judge the direction and shouted orders.
"Hey -" Ye Qinglian's eyes lit up and she immediately responded with a smile.
I remember when she led her brothers to hunt down Han Qing, she suffered a lot from the latter's endless tricks.
But today, she had to accompany Han Qing to use those tricks to deal with others.
Comparing the two sides, a strange warmth filled her heart.
