Horse on the World

Chapter 572

As Li Sizhi said, the overnight north wind turned the snow that was still soft yesterday into a stone-like hardness. The horse's hooves stepped heavily, but only slightly subsided. Although it had a certain impact on the horse's speed, it was not that big. , enough to support cavalry operations.All the soldiers in the Yizhou Battalion were in full armor, their entire faces were covered by hoods, only their eyes and nostrils were exposed, and they were wearing gloves. In addition to keeping warm, these gloves also had another function, that is, anti-slip. , if the cold gun barrel is held with bare hands, it is really unbearable.

There was excitement in Li Feng's eyes. For so many years, he was held behind the line of defense by his uncle, and he listened to the shocking fighting on the front line every day, and watched batches of wounded soldiers being sent down. His heart was always itchy. The stubborn leader who was in the city back then has now grown into a mature military leader. Like his elder brother, he has also grown a beard. Li Qing has always been Li Feng's idol, always consciously and unconsciously. Watching his elder brother's every move, although his mother and elder brother have always had a knot in their hearts, it did not hinder Li Feng's admiration for Li Qing, and he also believed that as long as he worked hard enough, devoted himself to his elder brother's career, and was loyal, there would always be One day, the eldest brother will forgive mother for her stupid behavior back then.

I'm afraid that my mother regrets it very much now. Back then, she was worried that the sudden rise of Li Qing would deprive her of the chance to inherit his father's title. He is the Marquis himself, and now the Li family has been tied to the chariot of Dingzhou. If Li Qing succeeds, even a prince can be easily obtained.

Why can't Mrs. Li become the master of this land!Li Feng lifted the hood, touched the beard on his lips, and thought to himself.

"Report to General, enemy cavalry is found ten miles ahead!" A few sentries came on flying horses and shouted loudly on the horses.

"That troop?" Li Feng asked.

"The Yulin Army, the flag is Ouyang!" the whistle said.

"Aha!" Li Feng laughed loudly, "It turns out to be the honor guard of old man Tianqi, brothers, it's time to warm up!"

The general's relaxed mood infected all the cavalry of the Yizhou Battalion, and they all laughed together.

With his legs clamped between the horse's belly, Li Feng galloped forward, "Brothers, go hunting!" The six thousand Yizhou battalion cavalry shouted, and galloped forward one after another.

About five miles away, Li Feng could clearly see the strict formation of the Royal Forest Army on the opposite side. The [-] Royal Forest Army cavalry were divided into three groups on the left, middle and right, standing silently in the cold wind. It is worthy of being a strong army.

However, Li Feng shook his head. After all, he had never fought a large-scale cavalry battle. The distance between the two sides was only five miles. The opponent's commander probably wanted to save horsepower and wanted to charge himself closer. This idea is good, but He forgot that it was winter, and horses needed to be warmed up. Although he ran a long distance, the other party was waiting for work, but he had two horses in Yizhou camp, and he ran these few miles easily with one horse, and he was already comfortable. Stretching out his muscles and bones, he will take advantage of the confrontation between the two armies later.

Three miles away, Li Feng yelled, "Change horses!" There was basically no need for Li Feng's order, and the well-trained Yizhou battalion cavalry had already been quite proficient in this combat mode. On top of the galloping horse, he transferred to another horse that had just warmed up.

"Pierce through them!" Li Feng raised the spear in his hand and pointed it forward.The cavalry of the Yizhou Battalion, who had been running in disorder, quickly began to straighten out the ranks while marching at high speed, forming a huge triangular cone with Li Feng's pro-army as the arrow.

Ouyang Jianqiang's eyes narrowed, seeing that the opponent's riding skills were so superb, and he could easily complete the action of changing horses on such a fast horse, and the change of formation was also completed during the sprint. Ask yourself, his Imperial Forest Army is Those who can't reach this level, but they have a lot of people!Ouyang Jianqiang comforted himself.

"The Chinese army is on the opposite side, the left and right wings flank the opponent's ribs!" Ouyang Jianqiang gave an order, and the Chinese army rushed out immediately, facing the huge triangle cone of the Yizhou camp, while the left and right wings circled outwards for a while distance, and then turned, hitting the middle section of the Yizhou battalion.

Li Feng sneered, and looked up at the flag that was blown by the wind. Even God was on his side. The snow seeds falling from the sky, being blown by the wind, hit the face, which is also painful. If it hits the eyes, hehe, it will be fun.

Li Feng's awl head didn't move, but two triangular awls were raised from his ribs, facing the enemies on both sides separately. In this way, Li Feng met with inferior troops in three directions. Li Feng didn't care about the opponent who had an advantage in numbers. Horsepower, wind direction, and morale all determined that he would win this battle.

The two armies collided with each other. When the cavalry at the head of the two sides was hit high into the sky by the huge impact force, their tendons had already been broken and their bones were broken. Without a sound, they fell heavily to the ground, and were immediately trampled to death by thousands of horseshoes. no deposit.

The pressure of the heavy bayonet piercing into the opponent's body came from his hand, Li Feng immediately let go, and pulled out the saber on his back with his backhand. Li Feng passed by his war horse and let out a cry, because his mouth was covered by the hood, and he looked very dull.With a flash of the knife, another enemy was severed with a knife and head, and the blood was several feet high.

The scabbards of Yizhou battalion soldiers are different. The knives are not pulled out, because the scabbard is open from the side. When holding the handle of the scabbard, press the compression spring on the top of the scabbard, and the scabbard will pop out from the side. , this design was figured out by Li Feng himself, because in this way, when his soldiers broke their spears and pulled out their sabers, it would be a little faster than drawing their swords out of their sheaths. After a long period of training , Yizhou Camp has mastered this technique proficiently.

Don't underestimate this small change. In a high-speed cavalry duel, a few points faster will make a world of difference. what does it feel likeAs their enemy, they can only give a desperate look.He watched helplessly as the big knife broke through his armor and cut into his body.

Immediately, flesh and blood flew across the battlefield.

The advantage in horsepower was fully reflected at this moment. Ouyang Jianqiang considered that this kind of short-distance dash requires sufficient horsepower, but he forgot that in such cold weather, not only soldiers need to warm up, but horses also need to warm up. Before the horses under his command could run out of speed, the opponent had already rushed in like an arrow from the string, and the well-organized Chinese army was immediately smashed through a gap tens of feet long.The battle loss ratio of the two sides reached an astonishing four to one, five to one at this moment.

Ouyang Jianqiang's eyes immediately turned red. Holding the mace in both hands, he bowed left and right, knocked off two cavalrymen from the Yizhou Battalion, roared, and hit the horse's buttocks with a mace. Fleeing, just avoiding a knife from an enemy soldier, another iron mace swept across and hit the opponent's vest. The man opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. He fell on the horse's back and moved forward. He ran, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The Imperial Forest Army is indeed worthy of being the emperor's pro-army. In the early days of the battle, after suffering a short-term big loss because of horsepower and wind, relying on the strength of their personal combat power, they gradually regained their disadvantages bit by bit. The state battalion failed to penetrate the enemy's formation, the cavalry of both sides stuck together, the horses lost their speed, and the two sides huddled together and strangled into a ball.

Li Feng's eyebrows were frowned. The soldiers of the Yulin Army were selected from all over the country. There is nothing to say about their individual bravery. Just looking at their size, they are a head taller than the Yizhou soldiers. The horses of both sides are carefully selected. , riding on a similar horse, the opponent can actually slash and slash condescendingly.

After cutting down several enemy troops, he quickly issued a series of orders to the flag officer who followed him. The flag officer immediately waved the flag again and again under the protection of several personal guards. He began to change his formation with difficulty, and at this time, Li Feng's eyes had already fixed on Ouyang Jianqiang who was so majestic on the battlefield.

Ouyang Jianqiang's horsemanship is naturally extraordinary to be the commander of the [-] imperial cavalry. At this time, he rushed all the way and knocked down more than a dozen Yizhou soldiers.

Li Feng set his sights on Ouyang Jianqiang, and the other party also took a fancy to him. The general flag behind them was too ostentatious.

The two met head-on, Ouyang Jianqiang raised his two maces at the same time, and split Huashan immediately. Li Feng dragged his long knife, and there were two loud bangs, the tiger's mouth was numb, and the long knife almost came out. This fellow has great strength, Li Feng shrank back, avoiding the opponent's sweep, raised his left hand, and the two sleeve crossbows shot over, such a short distance, such a fast rate of fire, Ouyang Jian was shocked, but he also reacted quickly , an iron mace circled back and blocked it in front of the chest, two crisp sounds, but the two sleeve arrows were just blocked.

Ouyang Jianqiang couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. When he was rejoicing that he was lucky, a cold light came in his eyes, and he leaned back suddenly. His head felt cold, but his helmet was cut off by his opponent. He straightened up and stood up. Staggered, Li Feng once again raised his left hand and shouted angrily, "Look at the arrow!"

Ouyang Jianqiang didn't even think about it, the two maces were reversed, dancing like a windmill, but he didn't feel anything in his hands, but he was cheated by the other party. The two strong flag guards fell down, and the flag guard who followed him excitedly rolled up the big flag, and thrust forward violently, stabbing the opponent's flag guard over.

"Well done!" In the midst of his busy schedule, Li Feng did not forget to praise his flag officer loudly.

As soon as General Ouyang Jianqiang fell, the Imperial Forest Army on the battlefield panicked.

"Cutting array!" Li Feng roared, waving the steel knife in his hand again and again, cutting a bloody path through the crowded crowd.
