The fierce battle on the battlefield has reached a fever pitch, with tens of thousands of soldiers killed and injured on both sides. At this time, no matter which side calms down first, they will be in danger of being in a situation of catastrophe. At this point in the battle, the strength of the Ning Army wants to go down.
It was difficult to retreat from the capital. Tang Yin's eyes flashed and he turned his head and said: "Send the signal and order the light cavalry to dispatch and attack the Ning army's central army with all their strength!"
"Yes! Sir!" After waiting for Tang Yin's order for a long time, the guard behind him responded urgently, and then passed on Tang Yin's general order.
When the flag bearer in charge of holding the flag heard the order, he immediately waved his own flag. This was also the signal for the attack.
The shadow clone and Tang Yin had the same mind, so there was no need to look at the signal, but Shangguan Yuanrang on the other side didn't know when Tang Yin would choose to attack. Seeing the flag of his own rear army swinging back and forth, Shangguan Yuanrang was already waiting impatiently.
His spirit was so high that he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately got on his horse. At the same time, he ordered the cavalry around him to mount their horses and prepare for battle.
The more than 5,000 of them were hiding behind an earthbag on the east side of the battlefield. At this time, the soldiers mounted their horses one after another, followed Shangguan Yuanrang, bypassed the earthbag, and then rushed straight towards the Ning Army's central army at full speed.
At the same time, the shadow clone also led 5,000 light cavalry to fight out from the west. These two light cavalry were like two knives on the battlefield, piercing the weakness of the Ning army from the left and right.
The soldiers of the Ning army were not blind. As soon as the two cavalry came out, Ning Bing saw it. The detective hurriedly ran towards Zhan Wushuang who was in the center of the camp. When he got close, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and shouted: "The report -
—General, something bad is going on, there are two cavalry coming from our east and west sides!"
"Ah?" Zhan Wushuang's body trembled, and he stood up subconsciously, stretched his neck, raised his eyes and looked to both sides. Isn't that right? Although the opponent was far away and did not raise a flag, the dust kicked up by the cavalry in the gallop was
It flew so high, it looked like two tornadoes were coming over.
Zhan Wushuang is indeed a commander who is good at commanding troops. He was startled at first, but then calmed down immediately. Based on the size of the dust the opponent raised, he immediately judged that the number of these two cavalrymen was not large, about five or six thousand.
He responded calmly, lowered his head and shouted: "Arrange the entire army and suppress the enemy cavalry's advance with an arrow array!"
"Yes! General!" Following his order, the two corps commanders on the left and right handed over their hands to receive the order, then urged the war horses, quickly ran back to their respective corps, ordered the soldiers under their command, the flanking army became the front army, and all the personnel raised their bows.
Arrows, ready to fire.
The Ning army was a fast-mobilizing army. Following the order of the regiment commander, the panic of the soldiers below immediately calmed down. The people turned around and stood facing the cavalry that was attacking. Then, they took off their bows and arrows and set up arrows.
Tighten the bow string, aim at the enemy in unison, and prepare to launch the arrow.
The speed of the opponent's cavalry was astonishing. The commanders of the two regiments had never seen such fast cavalry. They ran like lightning.
The two corps commanders were far apart. Looking at the cavalry rushing towards them, they swallowed in unison, then raised their swords and raised them high into the air. They both shouted at the same time: "Fire the arrow!"
"Following the shout, the sword held high came down hard, pointing straight ahead.
Buzz!
Two regiments and 20,000 people fired volleys. Two arrow rains rose from the top of the phalanx like dark clouds and flew towards the two cavalry teams.
Tang Yin was well aware of the power of Ning's army's arrow formation. When he saw the enemy's arrows coming, he accelerated his horse speed and turned around and shouted: "Everyone lie down and move forward at full speed!"
While the 5,000 Tianyuan Army cavalry continued to run forward, they all climbed on the horses' backs, and at the same time clamped their feet tightly on the horses' bellies, causing the horses pain and allowing them to run with all their strength.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - in just a blink of an eye, the arrow formation was approaching, and arrows were seen as dense as raindrops, whizzing past everyone's heads.
The arrows flew in the air in a parabola, and fell in an arc from top to bottom. However, Mo's horses were so fast that the arrow array lost its target, and the cavalry passed directly underneath the arrow array.
However, although some arrows still affected some of the cavalry, most of the arrows were missed and stuck on the ground.
"Ah!" Upon seeing this, the commander of the Ning Army's regiment changed his expression. Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was getting closer and closer to his side, he hurriedly ordered again: "Fire the arrows! Keep firing the arrows! Don't stop!"
Without an order from the regiment commander, Ning's soldiers began to draw out their second arrows and quickly fired at the cavalry in front.
Just like the first round of arrow formation, the cavalry passed under the arrow formation at a wind-like speed. The arrow formation only damaged the rear end of the cavalry team, but did not damage the main force.
Damn it! How come this cavalry is so fast? It’s even faster than the Mo cavalry, which is famous for its swiftness! The commander of the Ning army couldn’t understand what was going on, and he didn’t have time to think about it in detail.
Raising his voice, he kept giving orders urging the soldiers to shoot arrows, shoot arrows, and shoot arrows again.
When Ning Jun's arrow formation reaches the fourth round, the cavalry is only twenty steps away from Ning Jun's square formation. Naturally, there is no need to shoot at such a close distance. They can shoot directly at the opponent, which is also the most difficult to dodge.
Arrow shot.
Thump, thump, thump!
As Ning's army's arrows flew straight from the front, a muffled sound of arrows piercing armor and flesh suddenly came from the cavalry camp. At the same time, screams broke out, and the cavalrymen in the front row were seen turning on their backs, and a large number of them were knocked down.
However, at such a close distance, the arrow formation alone could not stop the cavalry charge, not to mention that Tang Yin's clone had already charged forward with the arrow formation.
The war horse he stepped off had been turned into a hedgehog by Ning Jun's arrows, but the other man managed to get out of the gap in the arrow formation and rushed to Ning Jun's camp. Both hands turned into hand knives attached to the fire of darkness.
, while waving his arms, the four Ning soldiers in front of him had their throats cut, and without saying a word, they fell to the ground on their backs. The surrounding Ning soldiers were shocked, and they put down their bows and arrows, or took out their swords.
The swordsmen or swordsmen picked up the spears on the ground, swarmed up and attacked Tang Yin.
Since the shadow clone is not a real person, and its body is not a physical body, it is condensed with the aura of darkness. Its movements and moves are more flexible and sharp than Tang Yin's real body. I can only see how high it jumps on the spot, its feet
They came out together, and with a muffled sound of bang bang, three Ning soldiers were hit by their chests and feet, screaming and flying backwards. With the force of the rebound, its body somersaulted in the air and fell into the crowd behind. The moment its body landed,
Both swords came out, and four Ning Bing's heads flew out from the crowd. Before the people around him could react, it rose up again, crossed over the heads of several Ning Bings, and fell deep into the opponent's camp.
Taking advantage of the momentum of falling, the two knives thrust downwards. There was a sound of pounce, and the knives in both hands were inserted into the chest of a captain. Even the body and the spiritual armor were pierced. The two scarlet knife tips came from
It poked out from behind. The clone let out a low cry, and exerted more force on both arms. There was a crunching sound, and the captain's body was torn open from the middle. The two pieces of corpse flew to the left and right sides, and crashed into each other.
among the crowd.
Wow - the cruelty and viciousness of the shadow clone made the surrounding Ning soldiers shocked and horrified. People involuntarily backed away. The clone doesn't care whether the opponent is afraid of itself or not. What it wants to do now is to kill people, killing as many people as possible.
There are too many enemies to disrupt the Ning army's camp and create opportunities for our own cavalry to rush over.
Just as the clones were killing people in the Ning Army camp, with a strange cry, the commander of the regiment rushed over. This Ning general was wearing white spiritual armor and holding a moon sword, and jumped out of his side.
The crowd rushed to the shadow clone. Without saying a word, they knelt down and followed the inertia of the war horses. They were distracted and stabbed straight into the chest of the clone.
The shadow clone didn't even hide. He stood there and watched the spiritual knife stabbing him in front of him, and then watched the spiritual knife stab through his chest. But just when the other party looked happy and thought he had won with one blow, it
Suddenly he struck back with his sword and swiped it viciously at the Ning general.
The knife was so fast and so sudden that Ning Jiang didn't even have time to realize how to dodge, and his temple was firmly struck by the knife.
Click!
The spiritual armor on top of Ning's head shattered in response, and half of his head fell off smoothly. Blood and brain matter sprayed all over the ground. The body with only half of his head shook left and right on the horse a few times, and then fell sideways.
The shadow clone glanced at the corpse on the ground, grabbed the head of the Yanyue knife inserted in his chest, and pulled it out alive. There was no blood flowing, and there was only a long knife mark on its chest.
, as it lay back and sucked in the spiritual energy that Ning Jiang had transformed into, the knife marks on its chest also healed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It and General Ning exchanged swords for each other, but in the end Ning Jiang lost half of his head and was dead on the spot, but it was intact as before, as if it was uninjured. The strangeness of the shadow clone shocked every Ning Jun present and turned pale with horror.
, people did not dare to move forward and retreated in unison.
At this time, the main force of the cavalry behind the shadow clones had already charged forward. Bows and arrows dominated the distance. The cavalry could only be beaten and had no power to fight back. However, when the cavalry rushed closer, its huge power was immediately reflected. It was just a shot.
In an instant, the Ning army's camp was hit by the galloping cavalry and a large gap was opened. The horses rushed forward, and the people used the horse power to stab out with a spear, which could often pierce the bodies of two or three Ning soldiers in a row, killing the enemy.
At the same time, the knights on the horse no longer drew back their spears, but directly drew out their sabers, and stood on their horses condescendingly, slashing at the surrounding Ning soldiers.
Naturally, top-down slashing and bottom-up slashing cannot be compared. The former not only saves effort, but also kills the enemy's vital points, while the latter is just the opposite. This is also the difference between infantry and cavalry in close combat.
.
When the cavalry rushed forward, Ning Bing could no longer hold on. Except for the soldiers who were hacked to death and wounded, the people were screaming and running back.
