Traveler Major League

Chapter 64 Breaking Thief Yier
The 24 cavalry led by deputy Liang Qianhu quickly lined up, divided into four rows, with six cavalry in each row, all with bows and arrows.

Looking at Liu Ze standing on the top of the hill, and there are only a few people behind him waving flags and blowing horns to command, the eyes of all the cavalry shine. It's different, especially Liu Ze who has already registered in the state capital.

Because of the propaganda of the landlords and squires, this Liu Ze has long been the bandit leader second only to Wang Er. If he is killed, although it will be difficult to advance to the official position, the rewards will definitely not be less, which is even more enticing. Yes, during this period of time, Liu Ze's trophies from destroying villages and villages will never be less.

"Brothers, follow me to kill Liu Ze's son! Kill Liu Ze, and you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" Deputy Liang Qianhu roared fiercely among the cavalry.

All the soldiers cheered up immediately, looking at Liu Ze was like seeing a silver ingot with legs, and they even had shortness of breath.

"kill!"

After an order, everyone flicked the reins lightly, and the dismounted horses lined up neatly and jogged at a small pace. As the distance lengthened, the speed became faster and faster.

There is only a straight-line distance of more than 400 meters from the position of the cavalry on the battlefield to the top of the hill where Liu Ze is, two hundred meters on the flat ground, and two hundred meters on the hillside. In front of the running horses, the distance is even shorter, and they pass by in a blink of an eye. After reaching the flat ground, he started to climb the mountain.

At the front, a few anxious people stood up on their horses and started shooting arrows at Liu Ze. The arrows used were all about one meter long, with three-edged arrows, also known as armor-piercing arrows. The arrows were triangular in shape, sharp and hard enough to break through heavy armor, and shooting from the bottom of the mountain up was extremely exhausting, so the arrows missed.

Several elites rode horses up the mountain for a while. Seeing that the horses could not pick up the speed, they jumped off the horses, took out a short-tipped bow, and paired it with a light arrow. This kind of arrow is only about 50 grams, and the arrow is a ridged arrow , the arrow is thin and sharp, and the two wings are sharply retracted. From the perspective of modern aerodynamics, it is to reduce air resistance, so it flies farther, and its armor-piercing ability is not strong, but it has the longest range.

These arrows are all high-speed light arrows fired from short-tipped bows, which are designed to kill long-range targets, even if they are wearing chain mail, let alone those without armor like Liu Ze.

Seeing several long arrows shot up from the mountainside at a speed visible to the naked eye, Wang Shanbao rushed to Liu Ze's side holding up his shield and shouted: "Commander, hurry up! The cavalry of the Ming army is coming up!"

Some of the soldiers on the side didn't have shields to protect them, so they couldn't dodge for a while, "Puff" got two arrows in the chest, and fell off the stone.

Some of those who had been shot in the thigh threw their weapons and wailed there. They didn't care about fighting anymore, and just covered their heads with their hands and lay on the ground shivering.

In an instant, the top of the mountain became even more chaotic.

The two old men playing the suona saw the cavalry running towards here, so they took the lead and ran towards the rocky place in the mountains. They are familiar with this terrain, probably because they know that the rocky place is not easy for cavalry. Arrive, maybe you can escape unharmed.

"You two hurry up and call the two suona hands over and blow the horn to continue the attack!" Under the cover of the shield, Liu Ze kicked each of the two guards who were still in a daze, and the two were kicked. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly ran behind the old man's buttocks.

"Commander, what should we do?" Yang Zeming, who had just assumed the post of commander of the new second company, looked at the surrounding situation and asked worriedly.

"What should we do? Take our team to kill, what are we afraid of if the horses can't run on this mountain? We have more than 200 people against these 20 cavalry, I have the advantage! Kill!" Liu Ze picked up a long spear from the ground and pointed at the horses. Shouted to the people around him.

"Okay, brothers!" Wang Shanbao couldn't stand it for a long time, and he yelled as soon as he heard the order, and Yang Zeming beside him quickly stopped him.

"My second company will go first, your company is ready, keep the commander for protection!" Without waiting for Wang Shanbao's consent, he quickly whistled and lined up, and soon the newly built second company hidden on the top of the mountain formed a line of more than 100 people. They formed a three-row formation and charged back from the mountain. Because of the condescending relationship, the two rows behind threw javelins one after another.

"Whoosh whoosh."

The first batch of javelins flew in the air, passing by like a cloud of crows, and the cavalrymen who were rushing up the mountain hurriedly grabbed the reins and dodged around. This did not hurt any of them, but because of this, the speed of the horses was even slower That's right, the second batch of javelins followed, and this time, the accuracy rate against stationary targets was greatly increased.

"Get off the horse!" Deputy Liang Qianhu, seeing that he couldn't hide, turned over and hid behind the horse and shouted at the same time.

The soldiers also hid behind the horses to save their lives, and the innocent horses were hit by javelins one after another, and they fell to the ground and howled.

At this time, the soldiers hiding behind the horses took advantage of the gap and quickly returned fire with bows and arrows. The accuracy rate of shooting on foot on the ground is much higher than that on horseback. In the Ming army, the actual combat requirement for archers is that they can shoot at fifty steps. Hitting the target, the maximum range can be as far as 140 steps away, and it can be lethal.

These more elite personal soldiers generally have stronger archery skills, and their hit rate is surprisingly high at a distance of less than a hundred steps.

A large number of arrows fell on Yang Zeming's team like shooting stars. At the beginning, those with shields in the front row were able to support a few rounds of arrows, but then they shot wildly like a torrential rain. Arrow types also vary.

There are crescent moon arrows specially used for shooting flagpoles with rope; there are also arrows with mugwort head, shovel arrows and wolf tongue arrows specially used for shooting horses;
There are also spinach-headed arrows, chisel-headed arrows, and willow-leaf arrows that can shoot both horses and people;

More are the armor-piercing cone arrows used for armor-piercing; there are also two shoulder arrows created by Qi Jiguang;

There was a wail in the queue of the People's Army of the Second Company. Although the shields in front were thickened with previous combat experience and covered with animal skins, they were not special military shields, and armor-piercing arrows could easily penetrate a few inches. If it is stuck on the user's arm, it will not be able to defend against heavy arrows. After the shield player falls down a few people first, the team behind will face the blow like a storm.

Soon the team formed a chain reaction like a dam broke. Even though most of the team were resolute fighters who had experienced many attacks on villages and towns, their morale still collapsed quickly in the face of blood and death.

"Mom, get out!"

"Don't retreat, comrades, hold on! Go down!"

"I can't stop it!"

"This fucking broken shield."

One or two soldiers in the back row started to flee backwards, and soon everyone retreated frantically to the top of the mountain. As they fled to the enemy with their backs, long arrows pierced through the thin cloth, pierced through the skin, Fiercely pierced into the muscles and internal organs.

When the remaining personnel hid in the blind spot of bow and arrow, there were only about 100 people left in the team of [-] people, and only single digits were left on the way to attack. Basically all losses were caused on the way to escape. The dead bodies covered the hillside that was less than a hundred steps away, and the blood on the hillside soaked the ground, like the muddy land after a heavy rain, except that it was red.
