A black feather arrow pierced the sky, shot out from the hand of Gao Fei, who was galloping on horseback, and became the first arrow on the battlefield, quickly heading towards Ma Chao, who was galloping in the opposite direction.
Subsequently, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and other more than 6,000 light cavalry who were good at archery fired arrows one after another. The uniform bows showed their power, allowing bows with such a long range only in Dongyi to appear.
On the battlefield in the Central Plains.
After shooting one arrow, the second arrow was also attached to the bowstring at a very fast speed. However, what was different was that Gao Fei and others turned their horses' heads and did not rush forward again. Instead, they circled back from both sides. At the same time,
When retreating, don't forget to turn around and shoot.
"bite!"
Ma Chao was a little surprised when he saw Gao Fei shooting an arrow from such a long distance, and he was even more annoyed that Gao Fei and others did not approach him.
Just when the first arrow shot towards Ma Chao's face at a very fast speed, Ma Chao leaned over and dodged with his back pressed against the horse's back. He suddenly let go of the bow and arrow with one hand and freed up one foot.
Stepping on the bow, the other hand was still holding the bow and arrow. Then, he raised his feet and let the arrow point upward. After a string sounded, the arrow took off and made a sharp sound.
Voice.
After that, he stood up, sat on the saddle, opened the bow and arrow in his hand with both arms, and shot three arrows in a row at a very fast speed. As soon as one arrow went, the other one flew out immediately, and the third arrow flew out immediately.
The three arrows followed him, and the three arrows were like waves in the sea, shooting towards the Yan army on the opposite side.
The sound of the thunder sounded, and Wang Shuang and other Xiliang soldiers received the signal and shot the arrows in their hands.
For a time, the arrows in the middle of the battlefield were as dense as raindrops. The arrows on both sides were facing each other. Some collided and deviated from the direction or fell to the ground, but more of them passed by each other and were shot separately.
To the soldiers on both sides.
"Wow……"
A battle of arrows officially kicked off the entire war. Both sides suffered varying degrees of damage. In this regard, no one had a big advantage. Although the Yan army had bows in hand, they could shoot arrows at long distances.
arrow, but they
They faced the Xiliang soldiers who also lived on horseback and were good at archery. In addition, the Xiliang soldiers were also moving quickly, while the Yan army retreated after shooting a bunch of arrows. During the retreat, it was inevitable that
You will encounter arrows shot by Xiliang soldiers.
The entire war plan of the Yan army was very clear. The six thousand horse archers only played a role in provoking a war and attracting the enemy's attack. They retreated and fired without engaging in close combat with the Xiliang soldiers.
But Ma Chao was different. In his opinion, the Yan army came rushing towards them violently, but then ran away in the middle. This was a sign of lack of courage, so he pursued them relentlessly, killing every one of them with the bow and arrow in his hand, and finally directly killed them.
Rush to the local camp, trample their camp with iron hooves, and let them know the consequences of going against you.
Therefore, there was such an interesting scene on the battlefield. The Yan army, which was aggressive at first and struck preemptively, was actually chased and beaten by the Xiliang soldiers, and was chased all the way to the camp.
Gao Fei only fired two arrows. As for whether those two arrows killed an enemy, he didn't care. What he cared about was that Ma Chao was following.
The speed of the dark cloud riding on the snow horse was astonishing, and suddenly it galloped in front of the arranged position. Gao Fei waved his hand, and the heavy infantry holding giant shields in the front separated directly, leaving a wide road for Gao Fei.
Wait for the retreating cavalry to pass.
At the same time, a qualitative change also occurred in the heavy infantry camp. They all removed their giant shields and turned their bodies sideways. In the gaps between people, countless heavy crossbows suddenly appeared.
The cart and the crossbow cart have been pulled apart, and the grooves on the cart body are filled with crossbow arrows.
Seeing that their positions had changed, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others quickly joined forces and passed through the heavy infantry who had given way.
At this time, Pound, who was standing in the heavy infantry team and was in charge of the command, saw the opportunity correctly, drew the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
With an order, the archers who were already ready and holding the bow began to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands, and the heavy crossbow machine also roared, and the twenty crossbow arrows filled with the long crossbow arm were fired.
It flew out all at once.
Arrows were flying all over the sky. Half a meter above the ground, there were crossbow arrows like locusts. Facing the attack of arrows, a trace of surprise began to appear on Ma Chao's face, and he hurriedly caught the sweat and blood under his seat with his legs.
BMW, leaping into the air
, higher than the powerful crossbow arrows that were shot close to the ground, and escaped an attack. At the same time, he abandoned his bow and took a gun, swung it into a protective net, covering himself and the front of his horse, and pushed aside many
Arrows shot.
"boom!"
The bloody horse landed and made four big holes in the ground. The four strong and powerful hooves only bent slightly and then bounced up. Ma Chao pulled the reins hard and stopped moving forward.
From a distance, I watched all the Yan army cavalry withdraw into the camp, and the road for them to pass was quickly blocked.
"ah--"
Behind him, there was the sound of arrows falling from cavalry, as well as the wails and long neighs of injured horses.
Ma Chao had a gloomy face, looking at the Yan army who was waiting in full formation and the archers who kept shooting arrows. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled, and hurriedly shouted: "The whole army withdraws..."
Before Ma Chao could finish shouting, the war drums were suddenly beaten in the Yan army camp. The cavalry archers who had just returned to the camp unexpectedly came out from the two wings again. Huang Zhong on the left, Taishi Ci on the right, and Gao Fei led the charge.
In the middle, the men on horseback cooperated with the archers standing in the square formation and began to form another dense rain of arrows, shooting towards the Xiliang soldiers one after another.
"Retreat!" Ma Chao hurriedly turned his horse's head without any hesitation. He didn't need to waste his time on this, because Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng were about to take action, and Gao Fei would definitely think that Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng were about to take action.
If he launches a rebellion, he will rush over at all costs. When the time comes, he will surround it with the cavalry that has been deployed so that no one can escape.
This time, it was the turn of the Xiliang soldiers to be chased. Gao Fei led the archers of the Yan army and began to chase. He tried hard to use the arrows in his hands to greet the invading enemies. After shooting one arrow, another arrow was fired.
Ya followed closely, with no intention of retreating, but pursued him relentlessly.
Although the Xiliang soldiers were retreating and fighting at the same time, after all, the range of their bows and arrows was not enough. They could no longer use their speed to make up for the lack of range as they could when charging. Now, they only had to be beaten.
The screams continued, and the Xiliang soldiers who were hit by arrows fell off their horses one after another.
