Chapter 18 The Invincible Mysterious Armored Soldiers (Part 2)
Suddenly, Yuchi Gong made a long wave, and 1,500 Xuanjia soldiers behind him all took out their black horn bows and set arrows on them.
Two waves of arrows coming first and then attacking each other? Xia Yu guessed.
Sure enough, when they were eighty steps away, the Xuanjia soldiers released the first wave of arrows.
In mid-air, darkness suddenly filled the sky, even the sunlight was dimmed. This is probably what the ancients meant by the arrow screen.
"Swish swish——"
Countless arrows screamed and fell like raindrops.
Although the Confederate light cavalry, wearing only light leather armor, tried their best to shield themselves with bucklers, many unlucky ones were still hit by arrows.
Although the arrow had no edge, the person who was struck by the arrow was still cursing and was forced to rein in his horse and withdraw from the battle.
In this wave alone, the loss was no less than 200 people.
Xia Yu couldn't help but said: "Why don't the Confederate cavalry fight back?"
"It's useless." Li Shimin said calmly: "The black armor soldiers are covered in heavy armor. Unless it is a large crossbow machine, ordinary bows and crossbows will be difficult to penetrate."
"But the Xuanjia soldiers use powerful bows that kill two stones with one stone. No one can stop them except the bright light armor!"
Well, this Xuanjia soldier is a perfect example of the American emperor. Xia Yu shrugged, feeling very sympathetic to the Southern Army.
Qiu Xinggong was indeed annoyed, but due to the equipment gap, he could do nothing but speed up his horse and prepare for close combat with the enemy.
At fifty steps, the second wave of arrows from the black armor soldiers arrived again.
The Confederate light cavalry suffered another critical attack and lost another 200 people.
Qiu Xinggong became even more crazy.
As a senior general, he wears bright light armor and is not afraid of arrows, but if all his subordinates are dead, he will give a damn!
However, just when the two armies were thirty years apart and about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, something unexpected happened.
Yu Chigong, a fierce general, pulled his horse's head and led his men away in a diagonal direction. He actually escaped. This shows no trace of martial ethics!
Moreover, while the Xuanjia soldiers turned, their bows did not stop, and in the blink of an eye they released a third wave of arrows.
The approaching Confederate army was violently hammered again, and the front line was almost wiped out by the dense arrow screen. There was a sound of curses on the school field.
Qiu Xinggong was furious and yelled: "Yuchi Laohei, what kind of hero are you? Don't run away if you have the guts!"
Yuchi Gong just pretended not to hear and didn't look back.
Not only that, after more than a thousand Xuanjia soldiers successfully turned around, they turned around and fired a fourth wave of arrows. As a result, the Confederate light cavalry was tragically killed again.
On the school grounds, Qiu Xinggong was so angry that he screamed strangely. He was really tortured to the point of death.
"Puch!" Xia Yu saw it happily: "General Yuchi's tactics are a bit vulgar."
Well, he looks very much like a scumbag who is distant and distant.
In addition, it is somewhat similar to the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry "Mangujie" that traveled across Europe and Asia in later generations.
Li Shimin also smiled: "This is how smart people play. Although Jingde is rough and arrogant, he also knows how to use his own advantages in battle."
"Don't worry, military advisor, it will be more exciting later."
Xia Yu became interested, so she waited to see what happened.
On the school field, Yuchi Gong retreated all the way, and in the blink of an eye, he released a fifth wave of arrows, as if he was going to carry out his obscenity to the end.
After experiencing the ravages of five waves of arrows, the Confederate left-wing light cavalry suffered very heavy losses.
Of the original two thousand men, only a thousand were left. To make matters worse, their morale was shattered, their formation was in chaos, and they were in a dilemma.
When Xia Yu saw this, he was not surprised at all.
In ancient times, it was rare for an army to fight until the entire army was wiped out without retreating.
In most cases, an army will collapse when its casualties reach 10%, and those who only flee after their casualties reach 30% are elites.
Only a handful of powerful ace armies can endure higher casualty rates, such as the Xuanjia soldiers, the Yue family army, the Qi family army, and the modern people's army armed with iron will.
After all, ancient soldiers lacked faith and most of them just served as soldiers to eat. What do you expect them to fight to the last man standing?
In other words, Qiu Xinggong's department, which suffered nearly half of its losses before collapsing, has already performed very well.
However, Yuchi Gong still wanted to add insult to injury.
Seeing that the time was right, the guy unsheathed his horse and rode back. The black armored soldiers silently put away their horned bows and picked up their long spears without blades.
This is an opportunity to reap the fruits of victory.
The left wing of the southern army is finished! Xia Yu has no doubt at all. What he cares about now is how Qu Tutong and Chai Shao deal with it.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Yuchi Gong led his troops into the enemy's formation.
Is it difficult to use the terrifying combat power of the Black Armor Soldiers to ravage an enemy army whose morale has collapsed, their formation is chaotic, and their numbers are still at a disadvantage?
The answer is: no.
Wherever the Xuanjia soldiers passed, it was as if they were breaking waves. The enemy's cavalry either fell off their horses or fled, without the slightest ability to parry.
In the blink of an eye, the extremely brave Yuchi Gong led his army to defeat the enemy.
When he turned around, on the school grounds, of the two thousand people on the left wing of the Confederate army, there were only less than two hundred left, and the Xuanjia soldiers had suffered very few losses.
Looking at the three or two kittens left around him, Qiu Xinggong, a warrior of the Tang and Tang Dynasties, wanted to cry but had no tears.
Yuchi Gong was so wicked that he knew how to use his equipment to bully others. After finally fighting hand to hand, the two armies shamelessly avoided his attack.
He wanted to take revenge, but he had no chance.
From a distance, Yuchi Gong reined in his horse and laughed at Qiu Xinggong crazily: "Lao Qiu, are you going to surrender on your own? Or will someone give you a ride?"
Qiu Xinggong went crazy with anger and yelled: "Old Hei Yuchi, you are a plagued bastard! If you have the guts, come here, someone will kill you!"
"Yes! Brothers, give General Qiu a ride."
Yuchi Gong gave an order, and all the Xuanjia soldiers cheered, and rolled over like Mount Tai.
The ending has no suspense.
The remaining 200 enemies were killed in an instant and could not escape. Qiu Xinggong was also besieged by two fierce generals, Yu Chigong and Zhai Changsun. After a short battle, he was stabbed off his horse by a shameless man and died gloriously.
Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qiu Xinggong standing on the ground, jumping angrily and cursing heaven and earth.
"Your Highness, General Qiu is very brave. He would rather die than surrender."
Li Shimin also smiled, nodded in praise and said, "Gu Yi always knows how to be respectful, loyal and brave, but the gap in strength cannot be restored by one person."
Xia Yu nodded, overwhelming with absolute strength is the most frustrating conspiracy.
However, looking at the motionless center and right wing of the Confederate Army, he was a little strange: "Your Highness, General Qu, why are they unmoved? Just sit back and watch General Qiu be annihilated?"
"How to move?" Li Shimin asked.
Yes, how to move? Xia Yu was also speechless.
Yuchi Gong and Qiu Xinggong faced off against Lei. It was a battle between cavalry. Qu Tutong's army was all two-legged infantry. How could they help?
Are you going to eat dust from behind?
You know, the biggest reliance of infantry against cavalry is a strict formation.
Once the infantry moves lightly and disrupts the formation, it is simply asking for death. This is how Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty God of War, failed during the Tumu Fort Incident.
Chai Shao's right wing is composed of cavalry, but the question is, does he dare to move?
Don't forget, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin also led the left team of Xuanjia soldiers to guard the formation. If Chai Shao dared to move, Qiu Xinggong would be second.
Xia Yu sighed: "Although it is cruel, General Qu and the others are right to not move."
Seeing that Xia Yu had a clear mind and was able to see through the reality of the battlefield, Li Shimin nodded secretly.
If Xia Yu is only good at strategy, then use her for planning, but if she still has the talent for commanding troops, she may be able to stand alone in the future.
The most basic quality of a wise commander is to act according to his talents.
At this time, Yuchi Gong, who had annihilated Qiu Xinggong's troops, did not rush to fight again. He pulled his horse's head and returned to his own army formation.
"Yu Chi, Lao Hei, Lao Zhai, well done!" Cheng Yaojin shouted excitedly from a distance.
"Haha, Lao Qiu was beaten to a pulp by someone." Yuchi Gong was very proud: "Brother Qin, Lao Cheng, it's up to you."
"Okay. Second brother, let's rush?" Cheng Yaojin was gearing up and couldn't hold himself back.
"Okay, brothers, let's look for trouble for the Prince Consort." Qin Qiong also straightened up his arms, roared, and led the left team to swarm out.
Yuchi Gong greeted: "Brothers, change horses."
The men on the right team immediately put on their spare horses.
You know, black armor soldiers, horses and men all wear heavy armor. Although the impact is terrifying, the consumption of horsepower is also amazing.
After a round of charge, you must change your horse, otherwise, you will be exposed to it at any time.
After changing the horses, the right team immediately took over the task of raiding the formation from the left team, ready to fight again at any time.
Seeing this, Xia Yu's heart became clear and she smiled and said: "Your Highness, General Qin and the others are going to do the same thing!"
At this time, he realized with shame that he still underestimated the power of the Xuanjia soldiers.
As long as we follow the same pattern, gradually encroach, and give in to one side, we will definitely lose.
Li Shimin also laughed: "Yes. In war, the purpose is to seize the enemy's weaknesses and kill them mercilessly."
This is a cruel statement, but on the battlefield, it is the truth.
Sure enough, the handsome consort Chai Zhao and Chai Chai soon became unable to withstand Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin's fierce and obscene tactics.
After only four rounds of arrow rain, Chai Zhao's tribe was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Qu Tutong couldn't bear it anymore.
If Chai Shao is also annihilated, then his ten thousand soldiers will lose any initiative in front of the Xuanjia soldiers.
Xuanjia soldiers have a hundred ways to eat him slowly.
He can't fight him, and he can't run away.
But Qu Tutong is also a famous general. This old general obviously cannot accept the ending of being a coward and wants to give it a try.
Even if you lose, you must lose hard.
So, he sent out the most powerful trump card in his hand-Mo Daojun!
