Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1256 I Haven't Used My Strength Yet
Fights between Rangers are common.Moreover, those who can be rangers are generally not good at tricks, at least they dare to go out and wander around when they have at least two tricks in their hands.

Xiao Agu was only very cautious, he first sent more than a hundred riders to charge forward.Another hundred people were assigned to detour from the two wings.

As for him, hundreds of people surrounded him, watching the battle from a distance - he also specially chose a gentle slope to prevent the cavalry from attacking.

Pretty well prepared.

As for the large forces, they had already stopped and formed a battle formation.In particular, the infantry led by Gao Siji took the antlers off the cart and piled them in front.Others quickly stringed the step bows and made all preparations for battle.

Such a professional movement could not help but attract Aguzhi's attention.

The aesthetics of the grassland is riding and archery. For this reason, some activities are often held to increase people's enthusiasm for horseback riding and archery.This is the tradition of grassland shepherds and their advantage.They can rely on this advantage to find ways to chase gazelle, wild donkeys, and deer when life is difficult and food is scarce.

But people's energy is limited, especially for ordinary herdsmen who are struggling on the edge of food and clothing. It is good to be able to practice both. There are definitely a few people who are proficient in both. What's more, many slaves don't even have horses—Khitans can't do it. If all the people have horses, there will be even fewer Xi people.

In such a situation, melee combat has become their weakness, and it is a lingering pain.

Of course, this does not mean that the steppe people will definitely not be able to defeat the Central Plains.

Husband fighting, courage is also enough, skills are not enough, courage is also enough.Fearless to die, based on the weak infantry tradition of the grassland, the cavalry dismounted and fought without a qualified army formation or good equipment. If they got angry and rushed and fought randomly, it was also possible to defeat the Central Plains infantry with a clean formation.

Because some troops just look like that, and they are useless except for forming an army and obeying military orders.It's like a group of bullies rushing aggressively at those honest Tianshefu, scaring and scaring them to death.

But Agu was not sure to overwhelm the Pinglu army.

The reason why this army has the nickname "Gao Family Army" is that a large number of warriors from Youzhou serve as veterans and officers at all levels. They are all rich in battle experience. Some even fought for more than ten years. They have rich experience and tenacity. .With them urging, rectifying and even infecting those recruits from Bohai and Xiren, their combat effectiveness improved rapidly.

"It would be great if we could hold this army in our hands." Xiao Agu only whispered to himself.

The trusted chieftains looked at each other.

The brothers of the Gao family are ruthless people, and they have so many soldiers and horses, how can they win?Besides, A Baoji also supports them, which is quite difficult.

"After defeating the White Wolf Garrison, maybe the Gao brothers can continue to attack the rest of the garrison, or even go straight to Linyu Pass. If the consumption is too much, the Gao brothers will naturally not be so tough. Besides, everything in the battle It is possible, if the brothers of the Gao family are unfortunately killed in battle..." someone said.

"Okay, don't talk about it." Xiao Agu only realized that it was a bit dangerous to talk about it, so he decisively ended the conversation.

Gao brothers died in battle?People are not that stupid.

If it's a very difficult task, they're more likely to say no.But this is also good, if A Baoji is disgusted, he will be sure to move them again.

On the grassland, it is common to annex tribes.Khitan can mobilize tens of thousands of horses, as long as A Baoji nods his head and finds a chance to kill the brothers of the Gao family, his followers will be invincible, and they have no choice but to surrender.

After all, A Baoji still needs to agree, alas!
"It's finally over!" A person next to him said suddenly.

Xiao Agu only looked at it immediately, but saw that Xia Jun's cavalry could no longer resist the enemy, and ran away in embarrassment.The Khitan warriors are chasing after them, they are unstoppable.

"The thieves have reinforcements!" Someone shouted.

Xiao Agu just cursed secretly, why do everyone have better eyesight than me?Looking quickly, he saw more than a hundred riders coming out from the back of the mountain. One galloped along the foot of the mountain, flying feather arrows, trying to stop the pursuers; the other charged forward with a long spear.

The Khitans had just beaten Xia Bing with more victories than the few, and Xia Bing fled in embarrassment. At this moment, they were in high spirits and were in a hurry to chase.When he suddenly encountered the cavalry rushing over, he was caught off guard.

Someone quickly turned the horse's head and circled to both sides to get out of the way.Some people were still rushing forward foolishly, and they didn't know that the riding bows in their hands were useless until the big lance was near, and they all fell off their horses.

Xiao Agu was furious when he saw this.

The mere 100 Xia Qi made the 200 Qi Qi on his side miserable, and there was even a tendency to retreat. How could this be tolerated?
"Follow me!" Agu just roared, and rushed out first.

The handsome chiefs opened their mouths, and before they could stop them, hundreds of riders rushed down the hillside like a tide, closely following behind Agu.

The addition of new forces quickly stabilized the situation.

The Khitan kept going around in circles, taking advantage of their numbers, and sent dense arrows into the crowd of Xia soldiers.The formation of the cavalry was sparse, and these arrows were not very lethal, but after a long time, one Xia soldier after another was still screaming and falling off the horse.Finally, the two groups of people from the front and the back merged into one place, and they didn't dare to fight any more, and ran away wildly.

"Chasing!" Agu had just shown his power and shot down two Xia soldiers. He was in high spirits, and his blood was surging, and he ordered to chase to the north.

A total of more than [-] Khitan cavalry shouted loudly and ran wildly after less than a hundred Xia cavalry.

When the bowstring is fired, someone always falls off the horse—either they are shot by the arrow or the horse is shot.

"Haha, happy!" A Gu only had a BMW under his crotch, and his speed was extremely fast. He caught up with a person, and Tie Guduo smashed down hard. The person screamed and fell off the horse, bleeding all over the ground.

Chase!Be sure to chase until the enemy is too scared to look back, and then cut off their heads and bring them back.

This battle, even if the result is not great, can greatly improve morale, which is of great benefit to the next battle.Agu is just not a fool, he knows this very well.

******
Li Cunxiao stood on the hill, watching the battlefield leisurely.

The chasing and fleeing parties have already ran for more than ten miles, and they are still entangled. Of course, the Xia army suffered more casualties, and the Khitan people were full of fighting spirit, killing loudly.

"Check the equipment and prepare to charge." Li Cunxiao ordered.

He wasn't going to wait any longer.Did not attract the enemy's brigade, a few hundred riders is enough, eat it first, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then think of a way later.

At this time, there were only seven or eight hundred cavalry with him, all of them were soldiers of the Qingyi Army, and he personally led them.

An Jingjing also brought more than [-] horsemen, most of whom were strong and strong Tibetans recruited, and ambushed in another place.

The thief will rush in personally, and 5000 of them will serve together. How lucky can it be?
At the same time, Li Cunxiao was also greatly impressed by the court's intelligence capabilities.What kind of person is providing the information, so that even the exact date of the enemy's dispatch is obtained-the error is not more than three days.

The imperial court has fed the food to your mouth, if you still don’t know how to eat it, just wipe your neck yourself.

Li Cunxiao smiled proudly, put the sword, iron rod, and short lance into the left side of the sheath, then lifted a heavy horse lance, threw it to the soldiers, told him to follow closely, and then got on the horse's back.

In fact, he doesn't like to use heavy cavalry weapons. It's fine when stabbing people, but it's very troublesome to use both hands when wielding it.Yanzhou Zhu Jin likes this tune, but it's really not Li Cunxiao's dish.

Generally speaking, he prefers to use relatively short and light weapons such as iron rods, short lances, and iron swords, so that he can carry bows and arrows-his archery skills are very good, so it is not a pity.

Today, the main reason to bring Ma Qian is to worry that the thieves will flee back to the front line, and the infantry will stop them.

Yes, Li Cunxiao never planned to let Xiao Agu go back at all.If you can't catch it on the spot, you have to chase it desperately. If the gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, even if you send a battalion of infantry to block it, he will also sweep away the enemy soldiers with horses.

"Come on!" Seeing that it was almost done, Li Cunxiao grabbed his horse's belly and rushed down the mountain.

There was no military mobilization, no military orders to intimidate, just calm, extreme calm.

More than seven hundred riders followed behind Li Cunxiao, their expressions were so calm that they were numb, as if they were not rushing to kill, but went on a spring outing.The only thought in their minds was to kill more thieves and get more rewards so that they could spend more money after going to Liaodong.

No one thinks too much money.In their eyes, the Khitan thieves are like moving pieces of silk, waiting for them to fetch them.

What?will die?Who can guarantee not to die in a war?It is very reasonable to use your life to win wealth and money.

Hundreds of riders pinched the timing just right, when the enemy's horsepower was gradually weakening and the formation was stretched, they rushed in horizontally and cut them off at the middle.

When Li Cunxiao rushed down, he fired three arrows in a row, killing the two thieves, then he dropped his riding bow, drew out the iron rod, and aimed at the head on the head of the person facing him.

This person's movements were quick, the combination of man and horse was excellent, and the bone in his hand greeted him almost at the same time.

"Dang!" Li Cunxiao didn't even look at it, and passed by on the wrong horse, dodging a wooden spear stabbed from nowhere, and Tie Lao finally smashed firmly on a person's face.

"Ah!" There were several terrible blood holes on this person's face, and the facial bones were directly sunken.

When the wrong horse passed by, Tie Lao slashed and took away a large piece of flesh.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew towards him, Li Cunxiao dodged subconsciously, quickened a few steps, and Tie Lao hit another person in the chest.

He didn't stop at all, and he didn't care about his own results at all, he just stared at the figure of the Khitan general, and charged all the way.

The soldiers of the Qingyi Army tried their best to block him, but Li Cunxiao moved around like an elf in the battlefield, doing miraculous movements in the narrow space.Wherever they passed, five or six thieves fell off their horses.

"A Guzhi!" Li Cunxiao roared.

"Who are you?" Seeing Li Cunxiao's bravery, Xiao Agu lost his will to fight, so he galloped away and did not forget to ask.

"Grandpa Ni!" Li Cunxiao laughed loudly.

He just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be Xiao Agu, the leader of the bandit army.What a godsend, what else is there to say?

A spear came in front of him, Li Cunxiao pinched his left armpit, and loosened it again, the thief was unprepared, and fell to the ground with a cry.

"Die!" Li Cunxiao no longer cared about the horse, and pushed his speed to the extreme, quickly catching up with Xiao Agu, who was still unable to pick up the horse's speed.

"Dang!" Tie Guduo met Tie Lao head-on, Agu only felt a huge force coming from his hand, and his body was crooked.

"Come here!" There was a loud shout in his ears, and Agu was only strangled by his arms like iron pincers, and lay across the horse's back face up.

The hard saddle stuck to his back, almost making him breathless.

"I was actually captured..." In a daze, Xiao Agu only had one last thought in his mind.
