Chapter 2079 The benefit of the bow and horse, your army is already at a disadvantage
"The descendants of the Green Wolf and the White Deer! The Dangxiang Xia people have occupied this grassland and think that they are the masters here. But when it comes to riding war horses and defeating the enemy with bows and arrows, we will never be afraid of anyone. Today we will teach you
They know how powerful we are, so that the Dangxiang people will feel terrified when they hear our name, and the reputation of our fearful Xue army will resound throughout the grassland!"
"They are just a bunch of desert barbarians who were co-opted by the Qi Dynasty and joined the Qi Dynasty to offend our country! With the blessing of the White Stone God, you gentlemen, kill all these enemies who have invaded our territory in Great Xia!"
The cowardly Xue army attacked Baersi, and the commander of the Xia Dynasty's right wing, Chaoshun Supervisory Army, each roared loudly in Wei language and Dangxiang language of the Mongol family. The long and distant horn sound rushed into the sky, accompanied by murderous intent.
The sound of loud horns filled the air in the cavalry formations of both sides. Soon, the faint thunder became louder and louder, gradually expanding to a momentum that seemed to shake the heaven and the earth.
A large number of powerful cavalry from both sides also began to surge forward like a raging wave. The horse archers galloping in the front also began to prepare to pick up their bows and wave their fingers towards the enemy's cavalry formation rushing towards the opposite side.
.
However, the Qixue army was fully equipped with riding bows and quivers, and they were obviously much faster than the Xia army's cavalry formation. Although the mounts were running very bumpy, the Qixue army's cavalry and archery officers still drew their bows and unloaded their arrows.
There were sounds of bow strings being stretched, and clusters of heavy and slender arrows shot out, already flying straight into the air.
Um!?
The Commander-in-Chief of the Xia Jun Dynasty Shun Army was slightly startled when he saw this. He estimated the speed of the two sides and the range of the mounted bows. The other party was obviously shooting too fast. Two to three hundred steps away, another shot from the bows and horses.
, compared to the short cavalry bow, which is so eager to shoot while the horse is galloping, most of the arrow clusters may have lost strength and have fallen to the ground before they fall into the enemy's formation, making it difficult to cause any damage to the enemy.
An effective blow...
However, the Mongol and Wei tribesmen made it from animal tendons and horns. Although it was short, it allowed the cavalry to use it freely. The killing range of the sharp arrows it shot could reach more than 300 meters. Originally, resources were scarce and they mostly used sharp stones and animal bones as clusters.
If replaced with sharp metal arrows, they can also penetrate strong armor. But now the horses are galloping to launch a volley. Not only are the soldiers of the Qixue army skilled in riding and shooting, they don't need to care about accuracy at this time.
And he fired at the place opposite where the Xia army's cavalry formation was densely packed. The arrows covered by the dark clouds fell straight down like a torrential rain.
The sound of thousands of arrow clusters gathered in one place, making a harsh sound that seemed to burst the eardrums. The sharp arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, and immediately pierced into the onrushing horse.
In the cavalry formation of the Xia Army, the cavalry under the Shunjun Division of the Xia Dynasty did not expect that the enemy's cavalry fire came so quickly. In just a moment, a large number of Xia Army riders were shot by arrows and penetrated their flesh and blood, wailing.
When the general fell, many war horses fell down and rolled, and a large amount of smoke and dust was raised!
A shower of arrows soon came, and many cavalrymen of the Xia army were shot and fell off their horses. However, the cowardly Xue army was still unscathed. They finally managed to hold up their bows and shoot at them.
At this time, the troops of Qie Xue's army also immediately put away their cavalry bows, which were used for long-distance volleys and used heavy and narrow arrows, and used their cavalry bows, which were used for shooting broad arrows at close range, and then used extremely superb cavalry archery skills.
Countless feathered arrows flew out like locusts, and they were driven straight into the Xia army's cavalry formation, causing the opponent's cavalry to splash out pieces of blood in the torrent!
The whistling sound of arrows could still be heard all around. Although the cavalry archers of the Xia Army gritted their teeth and fought back, causing some damage to the Xue Army, the horses at the front of the cavalry formation were almost wiped out by the dense rain of arrows.
Kong. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, the other knights of the Xia army had already put away their riding bows, raised their horses and swords, and were about to rush into the enemy's cavalry formation and start a close fight. However, Coward Xue
The army suddenly fell into pieces, and divided into more than ten cavalry formations to bypass the Xia army's cavalry who were rushing towards them, causing the enemy to miss.
While galloping, the soldiers of Xue's army were still able to move their bows freely. Then they turned around and fixed their targets. A bunch of arrows flew straight towards them. After they had run a certain distance, they seemed to have to repeat their old tricks again, one after another.
Volleys from a distance and direct fire from close range launched a new round of attacks on the Xia army's cavalry...
Those Xia Army armored cavalry equipped with cavalry bows were only equipped with twenty or thirty arrow clusters, and they were eager to rush forward to bite. After all, on the battlefield, they would only shoot each other for two or three rounds at most before they were ready to start a close-quarters hand-to-hand fight.
However, Qie Xue's army seemed to have to shoot most of the seventy-five arrows they were equipped with before they could stop, and they used the tactics of riding bows and horses, and shooting at a gallop so skillfully that even those who were on horseback were
Zhang Da's party, Nomad Erlang, was also really difficult to deal with, and fell into a passive situation of being beaten.
The tribesmen of the Mongol and Wei tribes were good at riding and shooting, and the soldiers and civilians of the Xia State were not ignorant. However, what they had seen in the past were only some scattered tribes that had submitted to their own country, and those in the north where it was more bitter and cold.
The regions were attacking each other, struggling to survive, and lacking resources. Their appearance was no different from that of a beggar riding a horse but wearing a tattered fur coat. However, the knights under the Shunjun Division of the Xia Dynasty did not know that these Mongol Wei Wei
When the tribe reaches tens of thousands in size, is equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, and can fully demonstrate its combat advantages, how terrifying will its combat power be...
And now it is even more impossible for these Xia Kingdom soldiers to know that according to the trajectory of official history, their country should have been completely destroyed by this nation.
Only within a stone's throw can the Xia army's cavalry cause certain damage to the timid Xue army. However, in the face of the enemy's army, they galloped and shot, gathered and dispersed, retreated and advanced several times.
Under the exhaustion of the tug-of-war, many of the horses riding on the Xia Guojun's cavalry began to breathe heavily, and their galloping speed was slightly slower than before. On the other hand, the cowardly
The distance between the enemy and ourselves is just right. Although the Mongolian horses they ride are relatively short, they have always maintained stable mobility with their super endurance. In this way, no matter how fierce and brave Xia is, he is determined to fight to the death.
The cavalrymen could not help but feel a little cold and frustrated, and the horses were also showing signs of fatigue. The cavalry formation, which had been working hard, inevitably became more and more disorganized.
At this time, the Commander-in-Chief of the Shun Army Division of the Xia Dynasty also realized that if the fierce battle continues, even if he fights to the death, he can continue to cause some damage to these enemy troops from the Mobei tribe. He can kill three thousand enemies and damage himself ten thousand. In the grassland field battle,
The cavalry of the two sides clashed, and the other side seemed to have the upper hand. For a while, there was no way to deal with it. Now, the only option was to preserve the effective strength as much as possible, retreat back to the Supervisory Army Division, stick to the reorganization, and wait for other troops and horses to rush to help before making long-term plans.
"Withdraw!" Commander-in-Chief of the Supervisory Army gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, unwilling to accept it. The generals around him also quickly issued orders.
There were bursts of exclamations and curses, and all the troops and horses turned around in a chaotic manner, and their horses were already white. In the distance, the timid Xue Army General Pula Balsi narrowed his slender eyes and looked at the Xia Army.
He suddenly sneered when he moved, and then shouted loudly: "After all, they are just yellow sheep on the grassland, how can they defeat the wolves in the desert? What's more, since the meat is hanging in the mouth, it is almost swallowed into the stomach.
