Water Margin people

Chapter 1360 Crossbow

"I can't hold it anymore, quickly form a formation!"

Wang Zhen shouted that after the enemy used the dog fighting technique, the pressure on their side increased greatly. The enemy continued to harass the flanks, making them exhausted.

The panicked Forbidden Army and the Western Army gathered together. The training during this period finally produced some results, and the soldiers quickly gathered into formation.

However, these soldiers still couldn't cope with the cavalry's dog fighting skills.

"You can't keep guarding all the time. Holding tight will only allow the enemy to catch the flaw!"

Zongze looked at the crowd and said, "They are not trapped in a camp. They don't have heavy armor or shields. It is unlikely that they will be harassed by the enemy at all."

"I'll lead the troops out to kill for a while!"

Han Shizhong said that they must stop the enemy's attack. Even if they cannot stop them all, it would be good to reduce some pressure.

"I am coming too!"

Zhang Shuye said.

"I am coming too!"

Yang Keshi also invited Zhan Dao.

"This dog fighting technique relies on the flexibility of the cavalry. Remember not to be led by the enemy!"

Zongze looked at Han Shizhong and said, the art of dog fighting has a long history, and the first people to use this trick were the Huns.

"rest assured!"

Han Shizhong mounted his horse and nodded.

The army formation made an opening, and Han Shizhong and others rushed out with their cavalry.

When the Jin army saw that the enemy dared to come out, they pounced on them like hungry wolves. Their right armor could fight the enemy head-on.

When Han Shizhong, Zhang Shuye and Yang Keshi saw the enemy rushing towards them, they started playing the dog fighting technique that the enemy was good at. They directly led their troops to avoid the enemy.

This made the Jin army furious. The enemy actually used their tactics to deal with them, and they roared and pursued them.

"How stupid!"

Han Shizhong didn't expect that the enemy would be angered so easily and pursue him. Isn't this exactly what the art of dog fighting requires?

"Let's spread out and fight on our own!"

Han Shizhong looked at Zhang Shuye and Yang Keshi and shouted.

The two nodded and led their troops away, and the three armies quickly dispersed.

The Jin army relied on their horses and numerical superiority to pursue them without any scruples.

The Jin army here initially attacked very smoothly. They thought they could defeat the enemy quickly, but they didn't expect the enemy to block it. Now they used dog fighting to trap the enemy, and the enemy dared to come out. They thought it was an enemy. Humiliating them.

"Put out the fire and take a roundabout way!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Shizhong took the cavalry and began to make a circuitous detour. He wanted to fight to the enemy's rear.

The line of sight was blocked in the dark night, because Han Shizhong asked the vanguard to extinguish most of the torches, and the pursuing Jin army did not immediately notice that the enemy had started to make a detour.

"No, the enemy has taken a detour!"

The Jin army realized that something was wrong when they saw the enemy in front heading towards the flanks.

But at this moment, shouts of killing came from behind, and Han Shizhong had already led people around to their rear.

The fighting broke out in the dark night. The Jin army knew that it was too late to turn back. They could only continue to charge towards the enemy's rear.

Because Han Shizhong and others diverted some of the enemies, the pressure on Zongze was reduced a lot.

Jin Junzhongjun.

Wanyan, Wu Qimai and others thought they would gain an advantage by using the dog fighting technique, but they did not expect to find themselves in a hard fight.

"Your Majesty, why don't we take action? It's almost dawn!"

Wanyan Zongjun asked as he looked at Wanyan Wu begging for money.

"You can't attack at night!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai directly denied it.

"Why? Night fighting is our strength!" Wanyan Zongjun was greatly puzzled. This night was the time for them to attack. Taking advantage of the current chaos, they could rush over.

"Sun Lei's main force hasn't moved yet, and he still hasn't revealed his trump card. It's too risky to go through the night!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai said that the reason why they had always failed in fighting Sun Lei was because they fell into the trap every time, and he had to be more careful this time.

The battle continued until dawn, when the sky turned white.

The battle situation had become extremely chaotic, with the armies engaged in a complete chaos, and the battlefield stretched over a dozen miles in radius.

Just when everyone was paying attention to the battlefield, Pang Wanchun suddenly arrived at the rear of the Jin Army's central army with his troops.

Pang Wanchun did not come in a surprise attack this time. He slowed down his horse and approached silently. When he saw the Jin army, the distance between the two armies was less than fifty steps.

"There are enemies!"

The soldiers on guard yelled.

But what they responded to was a hail of arrows, and Pang Wanchun didn't just fight for a while and then leave like Hua Rong, he directly let the army shoot continuously to cause maximum damage before the enemy could react.

"Damn it, shield soldiers block, crossbows counterattack, cavalry kill!"

Wanyan Zongqian shouted.

But by the time they reacted, Pang Wanchun had already taken the people away.

"hateful!"

Wanyan Zongqian roared angrily. They waited all night but did not see this enemy appear. They thought the enemy had gone to other places. At dawn, they just took a breath and did not expect the enemy to come and kill them.

"Where's the scout!"

Wanyan Zongqian looked around and yelled. He sent out several teams of scouts to defend, but why didn't any news come back?

"There's no news, and I haven't come back yet!"

The soldier replied.

"Send a few more teams of scouts and tell them to be careful!"

Wanyan Zongqian knew that something must have happened to those scouts, otherwise there would be no news at all, but it would be dawn soon, and then there would be no need to worry about the scouts being attacked by the enemy.

The horn sounded.

Shi Jin and Sui Sheng had already repulsed several groups of enemy cavalry.

Temujin Wuge and other leaders of the Tatar tribe were frightened. The dog fighting skills they were proud of were actually used by the enemy to defeat them.

"Stiff bow, come on!"

Temujin roared and let the archers come forward. After a night of fighting, he already knew that dog fighting could not defeat the enemy. If dog fighting was not good, nor could close combat, then he could only rely on bows and arrows to fight from a distance. .

"Go back!"

As soon as Zhang Qing saw a large number of archers appearing in front of the enemy's formation, the black horned bows were extraordinary.

Everyone also noticed the enemy's archers and immediately distanced themselves. However, the Tata'er tribe were also good at shooting and quickly opened their bows and set arrows.

Many of the Qi soldiers who had no time to retreat were hit by arrows. Although they had armor to protect their bodies, they were all lightly armored and had limited defense. A hard bow paired with special arrows could still cause damage.

However, the armor still had a certain defensive effect. The arrows only broke through the armor, and the arrows that penetrated the body only caused skin trauma.

But the arrows are just stuck in the armor, and there are more arrows, like hedgehogs.

"Okay, let's fight like this!"

Temujin laughed when he saw the effect. At this point in the battle, he finally saw hope.

"fight back!"

Shi Jin shouted, and the soldiers immediately fired back with their bows, but the range of their crossbows was not as good as the special horn bows of the Tata'er tribe.

"No, the distance is not enough, retreat first!"

Fu Sheng took a look and said, Strong bows and crossbows are one of the enemies of the cavalry. Whether it is a frontal charge or a roundabout, they will be restrained by crossbows.

"Damn it, artillery can't even fire!"

Shi Jin gritted his teeth and said, now that the armies are all fighting together, the artillery cannot accurately hit the enemy.
