I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121, Riding Battle

Luo Luo Bupo led 2 Xianbei cavalry into 100 miles, and encountered the vanguard of the Tengjia Army led by Wang Yong.

The scout troops on both sides fought fiercely, but in the end, the Tengjia Army relied on the three-piece cavalry and the new-style continuous crossbow to suppress the Xianbei scouts, so that they did not get much news.

When his subordinates were reporting, Luo Luo Bupo couldn't believe it at all. He found the commander of the scouts and said angrily: "What are you doing to eat, and you will be suppressed by the Han people in riding and shooting!"

The scout commander Luo Luozhe said aggrievedly: "Marshal, the Han people are all masters of riding. They can shoot crossbows with both hands without controlling the horse. This kind of riding skills are rare in our Xianbei country, let alone the Han people. The crossbow arrows are also very powerful. Not only can they shoot far and accurately, but they can also shoot very fast. A cavalry squad under him had already surrounded a Han Chinese cavalry soldier, but he shot seven or eight arrows with the crossbow arrows in succession, wounding three of us. The subordinates rushed out of the encirclement and fled directly."

Luo Luo Bupo couldn't believe it and said: "How is it possible? It doesn't matter that the Han people are good at crossbows and arrows, how could it be possible for them to be so skilled in riding?"

I don’t know if it’s not broken, what they encountered was the Liannu just developed by Xu Wei. The principle is the same as that of an air gun. A lever is used to push the bowstring. Draw the bow and shoot 10 long arrows at a faster speed. Of course, the disadvantage is that the range is relatively short!So it's not widely available yet.

Luo Luozhe thought for a while and replied: "Marshal, it is said that this Lei Gong has taken in tens of thousands of Huns, Karasuma, and Xianbei tribes. Will Lei Gong organize them into cavalry, so that it makes sense for them to have excellent riding skills? .”

Luo Luo Bupo felt that there was something wrong with it. He didn't believe that Lei Gong would use his fine weapons on barbarians with such generosity, but he couldn't figure out why, so he didn't continue to think about it.

The problem he has to face now is how to prevent Xu Wei from supporting Pingcheng Wubao.

"I didn't expect Lei Gong to come so fast. In just five days, Lei Gong's vanguard has almost arrived in Pingcheng. If we didn't stop Lei Gong in advance, we would really be blocked by him in the mountains."

After thinking for a while, he ordered to his men: "Let's go to meet Lei Gong's vanguard troops and see if they are really so elite!"

At the same time, Wang Yong was also listening to the news from the scouts!

"General, the enemy is the unbreakable commander of the Xianbei tribe in the west. There are about [-] cavalry."

Wang Yong said solemnly: "All the Xianbei people have come here, and it looks like Pingchengwu Fort has been breached!"

The scout thought for a while and said, "General, I haven't seen the large army of the Xianbei people. It stands to reason that the Xianbei people really broke through the Pingcheng Wubao, and they will use their entire army instead of only bringing [-] people like they do now."

Wang Yong's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was the reason, so he said: "You find a way to take someone to Pingcheng to check the situation!"

The scout could only say with a bitter face: "No!"

The next day!

Luo Luo Bu Po ordered 2 Xianbei cavalry to gather together and arrange them in a cone formation.

The vanguard Wang Yong saw the Xianbei people forming an offensive formation, and immediately ordered the fourth battalion of cavalry to form a dense array, and the two sides looked at each other less than 5 miles apart.

Luo Luo Bu Po came to the front of the army formation, and found that Lei Gong's army formation was so dazzling that it was difficult for him to look directly at it.

When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help cursing in a Chinese language: "Hey mother! This Lei Gong really robbed Jizhou, there are thousands of sets of armor, even the soldiers are wearing iron armor!"

He didn't know that if Xu Wei hadn't devoted himself to farming, most of the steel would have been used in production, and only [-] troops had fully popularized iron armor.

It’s just that after the expansion of the army, the world has only managed to get more than 10 sets of armor in the past month or so, but it’s a drop in the bucket to face an army of 3. , A few thousand more sets of armor were distributed, and only then did the number of iron armor exceed 3%.

In this era, iron armor is still a very precious luxury. The price of a set of iron armor exceeds 10 yuan. Even in the big man, he is a military commander, and only mid-to-high-ranking officers at the school lieutenant level can afford it.Among the barbarians, there is no way for Xiaoshuai to popularize at the first level, because they have lost the technology tree for blacksmithing, so they can only grab the big man's. There were less than a hundred people in iron armor. When he saw the precious iron armor on the soldiers, why didn't he want to curse, why didn't he envy and hate!

"Luo Luoheng, take 3000 people to test the strength of the Han people!" Luo Luo Bupo ordered.

Luo Luoheng said: "Understood!"

Then he waved to his followers and said, "Xianbei warrior, come with me to kill the Han people!"

"kill!"

The sound of a huge horn suddenly soared into the sky, Luoheng's 3000 soldiers followed him slowly out of battle, and the shouts of the soldiers resounded through the open field in an instant
Wang Yong shouted after seeing the movements of the Xianbei people: "Li Gang!"

Li Gang came out and said, "This subordinate is here!"

"You bring 3000 people to try the strength of these Xianbei people!"

Li Gang cupped his fists and said with a smile, "No!"

Then he shouted to his own battalion: "Front, left, and middle three will fight with me!"

The soldiers from the front, left, and middle all shouted: "No!" Then they followed Li Gang out!

Li Gang stood at the forefront of the army formation, drew out his long knife, pointed at Xianbei and said, "Everyone, kill me!"

The soldiers also shouted "Kill!"

The 3000 cavalry was like a gust of wind, and the sound of horseshoes was so thunderous that they rolled viciously towards the rushing enemy army.

Luo Luoheng also pulled out his saber, pointed at Li Gangbu and shouted: "The warriors of the tribe, now is the time for everyone to show their courage. Kill all the enemies and take all the Mayi! Kill!"

After speaking, he was the first to rush out!

The Xianbei soldiers also shouted: "Kill all the enemies, take all the Mayi! Kill!"

Then follow Luo Luoheng and rush to Li Gang's department!

The two armies rushed towards each other like this, quickly approaching

Facing the roaring Han army, Luo Luoheng suddenly showed a hint of excitement on his face. He was like a wolf seeing a long-lost prey when the enemy approached 100 paces.

"Raise your bow and prepare to shoot!" Luo Luoheng raised his bow and arrow and shouted

The Xianbei soldiers are veterans who have experienced many battles, especially cavalry combat is the battle they are most familiar with. Luo Heng just called, these veterans have already set up their bows and arrows, and are ready to shoot the Han people to death when they come into range.

But Li Gang and his crossbow arrows had already aimed at these Xianbei people.

"shoot!"

"Shhhhhh!"

I saw 3000 long arrows screaming in the air, shooting at the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly filled with long arrows and fell down on their horses, and were overwhelmed by the horses coming from behind.The first wave of attacking the Xianbei people obviously suffered a disadvantage.

After rushing into the shooting range of the riding bow, Luo Luoheng shot an arrow at a Han soldier, and more than 2000 long arrows whistled behind him.The Xianbei immediately counterattacked with their riding bows.

Long arrows roared like rain!

Li Gang shouted: "Raise the shield!"

The shields on the horses were made of rattan armor wrapped in a layer of iron, light and strong, stronger than ordinary one-inch-thick wooden shields. The long arrows of the Xianbei were bounced off one after another, and only a few unlucky ones were shot off the horse.

After a round of shooting from both sides, the fighters on both sides were within a range of less than 20 steps.

Luo Luoheng and Li Gang shouted almost at the same time: "Draw your sword, kill!"

The war horse galloped across the grassland, the soldiers were shouting heartily, and the two cavalry collided in an instant.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, the place where the two sides collided was turned upside down, full of bloody smell!
