Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 237

Xiao Siwen fled north desperately, but there were bursts of shouts behind him, but they were getting closer, and there was no feeling of distance.

Glancing back secretly, not far behind the team, the military flag with the word "Long Xiang" hung high, like an evil dragon, about to swallow itself.

Mu Langxi rode his horse closer and said: "Stay behind, it's not okay to go on like this. The subordinates have noticed that the opponent has two riders, and we only have one rider. Once the horse's strength is exhausted, the opponent must catch up."

Xiao Siwen was frightened when he heard that, and said in horror: "Then what should I do?"

Mu Lang Xi said: "There must be someone in the back, delaying them for a while."

Xiao Siwen was thinking about who to arrange for the queen.

Mu Langxi had already volunteered and said: "The last general has to stay and take care of him, and he is willing to be the queen. Unfortunately, he died, and I hope to stay and take care of my mother and children."

Xiao Siwen is not a good commander, but he is a good person.

Youdu Mansion is flourishing under his governance, and subordinates like Mu Langxi also live well and receive a lot of care.

At this moment, karma and blessings appear.

Xiao Siwen opened his mouth and sighed: "Well, you should be careful, you are invincible. No matter what the result is, I will take care of your family."

Mu Langxi turned the horse's head, put the neck bone flute in his mouth, and blew a piercing sound.

Three thousand cavalry jumped out and rushed towards the enemy who was chasing behind them.

Seeing that the other party sent troops to intercept, Dang Jin immediately issued an order.

"Change horses and prepare for battle!"

Before this pursuit, each of their cavalry led a Khitan horse captured on the battlefield.

Khitan horses are hard-working and have excellent endurance.

Riding on Khitan horses in the pursuit, of course, they had to change to northwest horses for this battle.

Seeing that all the soldiers under his command had changed their mounts, Dang Jin charged towards the Khitan cavalry, holding up the Xuanhua axe.

The two vanguard troops approached like lightning, and they were close to the land of an arrow in an instant.

The distance of an arrow is the combat distance that the Khitan people are best at.

The grassland people's talent for riding and shooting is fully displayed at this distance.

Their formation was loose, leaving room for themselves to retreat.

Archery with a bow on horseback is smooth and natural.

Three thousand arrows flew out of the sky and rained down on the Longxiang army.

The three thousand arrows landed extremely densely, which shows that the Khitan cavalry's riding and shooting skills are indeed extraordinary.

But the Longchamps had an easier time.

There is almost no need for command, and all soldiers naturally shield their foreheads from the front door, bow and sprint, reducing the area of ​​​​the body hit by the arrow.

They practiced this sprinting technique for a full year.

Arrows rained down on the cavalry.

Soldiers who were unlucky even had arrows in their bodies, but the cavalry of the dragon army were all dressed in chain mail.

This kind of spider web armor effectively protects the cavalry's body, greatly reducing the penetration of arrows and causing little damage.

However, in the face of this dense arrow rain, there were still more than [-] cavalry who were unlucky, and their horses were hit by arrows, fell to the ground, and overturned the cavalry on their horses.

of course there are exceptions.

Hu Yanzan, the Tie Hanhan, faced the rain of arrows head-on without fear.

The arrow hit his armor, which was heavier than the infantry armor, and made a crisp sound.

Not only was it impenetrable, even the arrowhead was broken and fell to the ground.

Just like what he said, once this armor is worn, it is really not afraid of cold arrows.

"assault!"

Taking advantage of the end of the opponent's first round of arrow rain, Dang Jin accelerated the speed of his assault.

After shooting a round of arrows, Mu Langxi didn't even look at the result, and directly used the small and flexible characteristics of Khitan horses to complete the retreat, intending to increase the distance before shooting.

But when he looked back, he was shocked to find that the opponent had actually increased his speed, and he had already approached within fifty steps, and the distance was still shortening.

Mu Langxi gritted his teeth and roared, "Turn around and meet the enemy!"

Can't keep running.

Mu Langxi also knew the characteristics of the northwest horses. The opponent's stamina was indeed not as good as their Khitan horses, but they had an advantage in explosive power and speed.

With such a short distance, there is no escape but a fight.

Mu Lang Xile stopped the horses, blew the bone flute, and led the soldiers to turn around and kill the pursuers of the Longxiang army.

Hu Yanzan naturally took the lead.

Hu Yanzan, who was born in a general family, has happiness that others do not have, and his family is rich.

Although northern horses are petite and have strong stamina, Northwest horses are tall, have high explosiveness, and poor endurance.

But there is no absolute thing in the world, and some heterogeneous horse kings have the attribute of omnipotence.

The one-in-a-million hexagonal warhorse.

For example, Lu Bu's red rabbit, Cao Cao's unique shadow...

Hu Yanzan sat down like this kind of BMW, carrying a heavy load of about three hundred catties, he was still unmatched in bravery.

It was the first to collide with the Khitan soldiers.

Before Hu Yanzan could make a move, he knocked the opponent's short Khitan horse to the ground just by sitting down, and even rolled twice.

Hu Yanzan held an iron whip in one hand, a magic subduing pestle in the other, and a blunt weapon in the other, beating left and right, let alone a human being, even a war horse would kill him with one blow.

The Longxiang army followed Dangjin and wedged itself among the Khitan cavalry.

People in later generations will say this fighting nation, that fighting nation.

But the vast history proves one point. In the era of cold weapons, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, most of China's thousand-year history is in the stage of bullying others.

Losing the advantage of cavalry and archery, the Khitan soldiers in a loose formation faced the Longxiang cavalry in groups of ten, and they attacked in groups of five or six, and were soon split into countless small groups.

Obviously there is almost the same number, but the Longchamp cavalry gave the Khitan cavalry a feeling of surrounding them.

Plus a fierce and ruthless Hu Yanzan, a shit-stirring stick.

The two sides fought for less than a stick of incense, and Mu Langxi realized that they had fallen into a disadvantage.

If we continue, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

At this moment, Mu Langxi realized that there was actually a cavalry team attacking on their right flank. He was shocked, and without hesitation, he blew the bone flute.

Then three thousand Khitan cavalry began to flee in all directions.

This made Dang Jin and Hu Yanzan in trouble.

If the enemy retreats, they can naturally pursue them.

But the other party fled in all directions, how can they chase them?
Divide up and chase?

This is so stupid.

While thinking, the sound of the enemy's bone flute stopped abruptly.

Mu Langxi was shot in the throat by an arrow and fell off the horse, letting the horse support him on the ground.

"Good archery!"

Dang Jin yelled, and looked at the person coming, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.

He prides himself on his martial arts skills, and he has few opponents right away, but after joining Luo Youdu's command, he first taught Hu Yanzan how to be a man, and then Gao Huaide taught him what it means to be a human being.

The person who came, wearing a white horse and silver armor, was Gao Huaide.

Under Luo Youdu's care, Gao Huaide naturally stopped picking up other people's remaining tasks.

He was given the task of chasing Xiao Siwen and assisting Lin Renzhao in capturing Youzhou City.

Gao Huaide quickly came to Dangjin and Huyanzan, and said: "The commander asked you to listen to my orders temporarily, join forces, go north to pursue Xiao Siwen, don't give him a chance to rest."
