Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 312
Ma Shacai and Wang Xinxun rushed to the front side by side, both of them wearing light cotton armor.

Almost at the same time, the two drew the longbows in their hands to the full, and almost at the same time, taking advantage of the momentum of the horse galloping forward, they suddenly let go of the bowstring.

In an instant, the arrow shot out like a shooting star!

Fifty paces in front of them to the left, the cavalrymen of the Li family from Lanzhou, who were constantly harassing, threatening, and screaming, fell to the ground one after another.

Behind Ma Shacai and Wang Tongtong, warriors from various tribes in Liangzhou also shot arrows in their hands.

Unlike the lack of iron weapons in Lanzhou's Yanmo Li family, after the Liugu tribe in Liangzhou took refuge in Zhang Zhao, all the warriors among them received armor from Zhang Zhao.

Although it is mostly three-layer leather armor or four-layer leather armor, it is far better than no armor.

The ultimate secret of cavalry shooting is to pull each other. Sometimes you are chasing others, and sometimes you are being chased by others.

Both sides kept adjusting the route and posture of the galloping horses to the most comfortable one before pouring waves of arrows at each other.

The cavalry of the Li family were like the water waves on the bank of the Yellow River, roaring in dense numbers, rushing towards Ma Shacai's team.

But theirs is so weak!
The gap in riding and archery is not very obvious, but the gap in equipment is too obvious.

Although Ma Shacai's cavalry only had more than [-] people, there were nearly [-] sets of cotton armor, and the rest were also wearing leather armor or chain mail. The arrows were all made of fine iron, and their penetrating power was very good.

But on the opposite side, most of the cavalry of the Li family in Lanzhou Yanmo only wore leather jackets, and some of them could tie two wooden boards or iron sheets to their chests, which was considered very well equipped.

Only about half of them have iron arrowheads, and the rest of the arrowheads still belong to bones, and are even polished from long, thin, pointed stones.

The horse bow in his hand was even softer, and Ma Sha estimated that there might even be five or six bows in it.

At this time, at the south gate of Lanzhou, the long suspension bridge had been lowered. Originally, the patriarch of the Li clan planned to arrange for the cavalry outside the city to enter the city of Lanzhou through this suspension bridge.

He didn't know that Ma Shacai had such a keen sense of smell, so he also ran towards the south gate, forcing him to choose here, and started a fierce light cavalry duel with Ma Shacai's cavalry.

"We can't continue fighting like this!" A leader of the Li clan rode his horse to the side of the chief of the Li clan.

He looked at the head of the Li clan and shouted: "Liangzhou cavalry all have armor, and their arrows are far superior to ours. If we shoot at them from such a distance, we can't gain any advantage at all. We have to rush to fight!"

The patriarch of the Li clan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, he couldn't take advantage of it, he was completely beaten!

In the most fifteen-hour confrontation on my side, at least hundreds of people were lost, while the opposite side didn't even have a single person who fell off the horse.

Especially the leading cavalry who wore strange armor, their bodies were full of arrow shafts like a hedgehog, but they just didn't fall off their horses.

"Let everyone take the long spears, let's rush over, arrows can't pierce armor, I don't believe that long spears can't pierce!" The patriarch of the Li clan snorted coldly, and gave the task he thought was the most correct.

It is indeed correct. Using bone arrows to shoot at well-armored cavalry is no different from sending them up to be beaten. Using a long spear to counteract and adding the impact of a horse is at least more capable of piercing armor than an arrow.

Wang Tong laughed happily. In just a quarter of an hour, he shot and killed at least seven or eight enemy cavalrymen. His long-term depression was finally released, and he felt much more comfortable.

He excitedly pointed to the distance, and the Lanzhou Li family cavalry who had gathered under a few large flags said to Ma Shacai: "It seems that they dare not shoot at us anymore, and now they want to rush up to fight hand-to-hand."

Ma Sha turned his head and glanced at the South Gate of Lanzhou. It was a pity that they were entangled by the cavalry on the opposite side and had to charge for a few rounds. As a result, more than a dozen soldiers at the South Gate took advantage of this opportunity to pull the suspension bridge up again. Now there is no chance to grab the door.

However, he still has confidence in Wen Chongle and the others in the city.

Just relying on the patrolling soldiers of the Li family in the city, as long as there is no support from outside the city, he believes that Wen Chongle, together with the guards of the Du Seng Tong Longbian, as well as the monks and Khitan warriors of the Weiyan Temple, can at least remain invincible.

If Su Lunjia can have a few smart people, they can even take Lanzhou City, at least it should not be difficult to control the West Gate and South Gate.

"Change the horse lance, prepare to attack!" Thinking of this, Ma Sha let out a long laugh, and took the horse lance beside the horse into his hand.

Wang Communication also put away the hard bow in his hand, and began to put on the horse lance.

Almost no need to convey orders, the cavalry around him knew how to fight the horse. In fact, the light cavalry duel still had to rely on hand-to-hand combat to decide the outcome.

Because when both sides are moving targets, the lethality of cavalry and shooting is quite limited.

When cavalry and archery can exert good lethality, it is basically when the opponent's cavalry or infantry escapes, or when facing infantry with little counterattack and mobility.

As soon as the team assembled, Ma Shacai snorted coldly again, and the Lanzhou Yanmo cavalry on the opposite side actually formed a crane wing array with a thick concentration of troops in the middle and two wings that could be spread out.

This is trying to bully the few with more, and get rid of it with one blow!

Wang Tongtong also laughed silently. These people didn't even know that there were at least forty cavalry on their side who came from the original Fengtian Army and are now called Hanhai Town's elite cavalry.

What they held in their hands were all high-quality horses, and they all followed Zhang Zhao in Anxi and Hezhong in the north and south, and they were invincible. What battles have they never seen?

If there is a sharp arrow formation on the opposite side, there are more than [-] of them, and they can indeed cause some trouble for Ma Shacai.

But now they have set up a crane wing array, hoping to use the method of outflanking on both sides to wrap the cavalry in the middle and eat them, then this is fantastic.

Because the open wings are the best breakthrough target.

Ma Shacai waved his hand, "Give me an order. Everyone follows the red flag of a certain person. We will fight to the left desperately, penetrate their left wing, and then turn the horse's head around to give him a back garden!"

When the generals of both sides gave the combat order, the cavalry had actually begun to approach slowly. The two sides had a tacit understanding and did not take out their bows and arrows. They both needed to save their own and their horses' physical strength.

Drums sounded twice, several small flags of Li's cavalry at the end of Lanzhou waved violently a few times, shouts seemed to come from the sky, and more than two thousand cavalry overwhelmingly charged at the horses before they charged come over.

Ma Shacai held up the horse in his hand, and each of his four soldiers planted a bright red flag on their backs, which meant that everyone should charge in the direction of the red flag.

Eighty steps!
Sixty steps!
Forty steps!
As they got closer, the two sides could already see each other's spears and sabers, and the two wings of the Crane Wing Formation of Lanzhou's Li family cavalry had begun to close.

Ma Shacai suddenly shouted violently at this moment, and took the lead and rushed out like an arrow off the string. The Zheer horse under his crotch exploded with explosive power far higher than that of ordinary Lanzhou horses, and the more than four hundred cavalry suddenly increased by two or three. The speed is more than grade.

There were only three or four hundred cavalry on the left wing of the Gamo cavalry in Lanzhou, because they were stretched out "crane wings" and their function was to outflank.

But suddenly, they found all the cavalry of the rebel army rushing towards them, and they were frightened to death.

The distance of [-] steps was almost instantaneous. Under the guidance of the four red flags, the [-] rebel cavalry lined up a fairly neat array of arrows and plunged headlong.

The Gamo cavalry facing them didn't care about outflanking or not. In their view, the combat effectiveness of these Liangzhou cavalry just now is obvious to all.

Just the armor on other people's body can beat them by a few blocks in terms of combat power, and they cannot resist at all.

In an instant, when there were less than a dozen steps to touch, the Lanzhou Yanmo cavalry on the left immediately dispersed.

Ma Shacai grinned grimly, held up the horse spear in his hand, and danced with a whining sound.

He whipped and beat, turning like flying, and the dozens of elite cavalry behind him were just like him, and they scattered the cavalry on the opposite side at once.

The flexible horse lances don't need to be stabbed at all, they can be whipped directly. Whenever these unarmored cavalrymen touch them, at least their ribs will be broken.

The patriarch of the Li clan widened his eyes. He didn't expect that the left wing would be breached so soon. Although the number of people there was a little smaller, there were still three or four hundred cavalry?
Four hundred against four hundred, how could they lose so quickly?
In fact, what he didn't expect was that the explosive power and sprint speed of the folded ear horse would be so fast.

It feels like you see some old man's happy car on the opposite side, but when he starts it, he realizes that it is not an old man's happy car, but a magically modified at least six-cylinder Wuling magic car.

In this way, all the original plans will not work at all.

The patriarch of the Li clan was like this. Originally, even if the left wing was attacked, the cavalry of the formation and the right wing could quickly outflank the enemy, which was equivalent to the effect of the crane wing formation.

But now, when he was trying to rescue the left wing, the horse on his side slowed down a lot, and there was no time to outflank it.

Ma Shacai caught them off guard by taking advantage of the frightening explosive power of the folded ear horse.

However, even if you can't catch up and can't rescue in time, you still have to rescue.

The eyes of the patriarch Li's eyes were red, he roared sadly, and ordered the cavalry under him to turn their horses around and chase after the horse killer who had pierced through the left flank.

With a dash, he directly penetrated the left wing of the enemy. This feeling of refreshment was very strong. Only the horse killed barely supported the last trace of reason, and did not let his subordinates go to chase and kill the left wing of the fleeing Lanzhou Yanmo cavalry.

Instead, he led the large troops, went out directly through the formation, turned a small n-shaped turn, and rushed back again. The cavalry's front arrows were directly aimed at the tail of the Lanzhou cavalry's main formation.

But this time, they didn't use the Wulong charging method to open the distance, but directly put on a pig charge formation.

"Clamp the gun! Clamp the gun!" Ma Shacai yelled loudly from his horseback, and his personal guards nearby also yelled.

When all the cavalry heard the order, they clamped their long spears or carbines to their waists and ribs one after another, and then adopted the left-handed gun method.

After the horse killed, they collectively let out a roar of thunder, and instantly increased the horse's speed to the maximum.

At this time, the Lanzhou Li cavalry were still turning their horses around in a panic, wanting to chase Ma Shacai and wait for others. Unexpectedly, they came back immediately after they dispersed the left-wing cavalry. The ability to charge the second wave.

This made the cavalry at the end of Lanzhou, when they were still in the process of transforming and adjusting their direction, they were directly killed by horses, and they were stabbed severely at the waist and tail of the most powerful troops.

In the extreme panic, this cavalry unit of more than [-] people, like butter meeting a hot knife, was abruptly plowed a bloody path from the formation.

This was really pierced through. The moment the chaos came, the patriarch of the Li clan didn't even have time to greet the cavalry guards around him, and the situation collapsed in an instant!
Countless Lanzhou Yanmo cavalry fell from their horses like dumplings, and they were scattered all over the place before they could fight back.

Crying, terrified screams, and hoarse roars resounded across the battlefield.

All the Lanzhou Yanmo cavalry lost their minds in an instant, the ones in the middle were still resisting instinctively, and the ones on both sides ran away in panic.

The two sides tussled at each other for nearly two quarters of an hour, at least tens of thousands of arrows were shot, and the real decisive battle was decided within a few minutes.
