Chapter 210: The Fire Harrier Breaks the Iron Harrier
Han Shizhong in the middle doesn't have any strange tricks. He is a rough man who pays attention to being straight. His martial arts skills are also good. His many years of military career have given him a pair of courage. He has no problem facing the Xixia army that is several times his size.
Frightened, five thousand fine armored cavalry followed behind them, and they just charged towards the Xixia Central Army without any fancy.
Bubazi is good at climbing over mountains and ridges, but fighting against the cavalry in the wilderness is like seeking death. He has no power to resist at all. When the Central Military Command flag is displayed, Bubazi quickly retreats, revealing the archers lying in the back row.
There was a crisp bang, and suddenly thousands of arrows were fired, shooting towards Han Shizhong's cavalry.
Han Shizhong's expression remained unchanged, the spear in his hand was flying like a wheel, and all the long arrows shot at him were swept down by him without exception, while the five thousand cavalry behind him took out a large piece of meat from the horse's belly as if by magic.
Holding the shield in his left hand and the gun in his right hand, his speed was not sluggish at all, and he plunged straight into the hinterland of the Xixia Central Army like a steel knife.
These five thousand cavalry were brought out by Han Shizhong single-handedly. They followed him in the east and west for many years, and the tacit understanding between them was unparalleled. Even when the horses were slacking off, the shields were still firmly protected in front of them, forming a defensive line like a copper wall. Xixia
No matter how intensive the army's arrow rain was, it actually failed to hurt them at all.
The Xixia people were not panicked, because there were large areas of iron caltrops and numerous horse traps in front of their formation. But what they didn't expect was that Han Shizhong suddenly whistled as they approached, and the entire team suddenly moved to the left and right, leaving a wide gap in the middle.
Dao Lai, the Xixia Army was stunned and didn't understand what the other party was playing.
At this moment, a dull sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from behind Han Shizhong's team, gradually getting louder and closer. It didn't take long for the Xixia people to see a scene that made them horrified and moved. A group of huge yaks
They were rushing towards them across the empty road, and their tails were all on fire.
There are a lot of yaks in Xixia territory, and because they cannot farm, the price is much lower than that of cattle. You can always buy a lot of them by searching in the market. No matter how slow the Xixia army is, they understand the opponent's intention, and there is an uproar.
The yaks are generally strong and usually tame, but now that their tails are on fire, they can't tell the difference between east, west and north. They just rush forward. Han Shizhong's team all hides aside, while the torches of the Xixia Central Army are bright, and the yaks
Naturally, they ran toward the light, and the caltrops on the ground were useless. Although they still injured many cows, they were easily swept away.
Waves of panicked screams rang out, and the yaks hit the trip ropes, and immediately overturned a large area. However, these ropes were quickly broken by the huge force of the yaks, and the flaming "vanguard" continued to move towards them with great force.
Following the Xia army, it was difficult for bows and arrows to penetrate the yak's thick hide, and it was too late to temporarily set up obstacles such as antlers.
The attack of the yak herd quickly tore a hole in the Western Xia army's defense line, and the crazy cattle were rushing around. There were many experienced people in the Xia army driving cattle and sheep, but they were still helpless against this group of crazy cattle.
The infantry couldn't withstand the cavalry, and Bu Bazi immediately retreated. The cavalry rushed up, and the cow heads fell to the ground when the saber was swung. The ground turned into a sea of blood in an instant. After a while, the group of mad cows were finally suppressed temporarily, but Xia Xia
Before the army could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard a loud whistle in the distance, and Han Shizhong launched another attack.
After a pause, the impact of Han Shizhong and his five thousand cavalry was reduced a lot, but the Xia army was now in a mess. The infantry engineers fled far away and got mixed up with the cavalry, which seriously affected the cavalry's impact.
Speeding up created an excellent opportunity for Han Shizhong.
"kill!"
As if they were in an uninhabited land, the five thousand cavalrymen stood on horseback and charged directly into the Xixia army. Suddenly there was blood and screams, and a massacre began with a small number of enemies.
The left army and the central army were in chaos. The two armies totaled nearly 50,000 people. However, they were killed by Han Shizhong and Xinchou's more than 10,000 troops. They abandoned their armor and fled in a hurry. However, the right army was extremely quiet and there was no movement.
The Song army that first appeared just stayed there quietly, looking at each other from a distance, with no intention of attacking. The leader of the right army discovered the changes in the left army and the central army, but they were not close to each other.
It was too late to rescue them. The Song army stood in front of them, fighting and refusing to retreat. They didn't know what they were doing.
The commander of the right army frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked: "How many troops does the Song army have?"
"Report to the general, there are about three thousand troops in total."
"Three thousand?" The general was stunned, and then flew into a rage. He had more than 20,000 troops on the right, but the opponent only came with 3,000. This was absolute contempt. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered half of the troops to attack, vowing to
We must destroy all the generals and leave no one behind.
The 10,000 iron cavalry had already formed up, and when they saw the order flag moved, they immediately dispatched and rushed towards the Song army on the opposite side. Tie Yaozi's reputation was not just for bragging, and they raised their speed very quickly. The whole Tie Yaozi army had long spears in their hands, and they were cold and cold.
The tip of his spear glowed with cold light, pointing directly at the Song army on the opposite side. The layers of heavy armor made a scraping sound as they moved at high speed, and the dust raised up covered the clear starry sky.
The Song army lined up in a row still didn't react. They just watched the menacing Tie Yaozi quietly until the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, and they were about to enter the bow and arrow range of both sides. Tie Yaozi had already fired the short crossbow first.
With preparations in hand, just wait until a round of arrow rain comes from a distance before making an impact.
But at this time, the Song Army suddenly made a move. A young general standing in the center of the formation raised his head and smiled. The moonlight shone on his face, his face was delicate and fair, but it turned out to be Jin Yuxi. His eyes were staring at the distance of the iron kite, and his right hand was raised high.
Lifting it up, the soldiers on both sides took out something from their backs. It looked like a large slingshot, and then they took out a fusiform object from the side of the saddle, with a small wing on each side.
The Iron Harriers did not follow the example of the Song Army in lining up, but still advanced slowly in a square formation. The cavalrymen on horseback had just raised their short crossbows and were waiting for the order to fire. However, they saw Jin Yuxi standing up straight on the horse with one hand clasped in one hand.
He shouted: "Grandsons, watch grandpa's fire kite break your iron kite!"
The fusiform object had already been placed on the string of the slingshot. As soon as Jin Yuxi finished speaking, he dropped his right hand with all his strength. Every soldier had already biting a fire agent with the cover removed, and the slingshot was retracted and lit by his mouth.
He hit a fuse on the fusiform object, and then released the slingshot, and the fusiform object flew straight over.
The fusiform shape can break the wind, and with the help of two small wings, after being shot by the slingshot, it flew quickly and steadily into the iron kite army. As soon as it fell into the group of horses, there was an explosion.
, and this explosion was completely different from the one in Xingzi Castle. It was extremely powerful. In the dark night, only dazzling firelights flashed one after another. Even the heavily armored Iron Harrier could not withstand such impact.
For a moment, there were screams and lamentations, and the powerful Tie Yaozi once again tasted the terror of gunpowder. Xu Zizhen could see it clearly from the top of the mountain. He turned back and smiled at Yun Size: "What's going on, Lao Yuan, you seem to lose this bet."
