Chapter 225 Riding Alone
The shock lineup of the Mohe cavalry is very powerful.The cavalrymen leaned down together, almost sticking to the horse's back, and at the same time took the bow and arrow from the saddle obliquely.Then draw the bow and throw it, and the arrow falls from the sky.

Quite a few Mohe cavalry can shoot arrows at the same time while on the horse. Li Chongjiu can judge from the formation of this charge that the combat effectiveness of the Mohe cavalry is definitely better than that of the Xi clan cavalry and Khitan cavalry under his command. .In this way, Li Chongjiu added a little bit of the idea of ​​​​taking this Mohe cavalry under his command.

Now Luo Yi's army's long card is held high, but the arrows are thrown into the straight-fall formation. Luo Yi's infantry has just arrived, and it is too late to get the iron armor from the auxiliary soldiers to put them on, so even if it is thrown, the arrows are still Falling from the sky, it can also be guessed that there were also casualties in the opposing camp.

At the moment Li Chongjiu couldn't help secretly praising that this is the right time for Tudiji to choose to attack.Just when the Mohe cavalry took out bones, maces, and long knives from their saddles one after another, and were about to rush into the battle, the long cards in the Sui army suddenly put down together.Li Chongjiu, who was watching the battle, secretly said that it was not good, it turned out that it was after the side card.It was a dense crowd of crossbowmen holding powerful crossbows.

The opponent's crossbowmen were dressed in leather armor and held two stone-armed crossbows, divided into three rows.Following the order of the opposing general, the first row of crossbowmen raised their crossbows to aim, then pulled the hanging knife, and fired a hundred arrows.The crossbow arrows shuttled through the air, forming a steel killing formation.The Mohe light cavalry without any protection fell off their horses as if they had been brushed by an iron comb on the spot.

At this time, the first row of crossbowmen in the opponent's formation retreated to load arrows, while the second row of crossbowmen stepped forward and squatted to shoot. After the second row of crossbowmen finished shooting, the third row of crossbowmen stepped forward.After the third row of crossbowmen finished shooting, the first row of crossbowmen had almost loaded their crossbow arrows.

Li Chongjiu heard that in the Han Dynasty, the crossbowmen were divided into upper crossbows, advancing crossbows, and firing crossbows, and fired in turn, which was similar to the three-stage shooting of muskets.In addition to the strong crossbow, Luo Yi's army also had a three-bolt crossbow, one crossbow with three arrows, and the arrows shot were like a storm.Under the blow of such a powerful crossbow, the Mohe cavalry suddenly turned on their backs.Li Chongjiu gasped when he saw this scene. Luo Yi's pawns were well equipped, even among the Sui army.

Looking at the density of the opponent's crossbows, the thousand pawns equipped with at least five hundred crossbows.But Li Chongjiu Huaihuang, Yuyi, and Shanggu combined together did not reach this number.Not to mention the three-bolt crossbow, Li Chongjiu's current workshop can't make it at all.

When Yang Su defeated the Turks back then, the 10,000+ Sui army was also equipped with such well-equipped crossbows. When the Turkic cavalry attacked, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and then the cavalry defeated the cavalry. Only then did they defeat the invincible Turkic cavalry in the Wuyuan Grassland.Make the rebellious Turks surrender.Now the Mohe people are repeating this scene, but the Mohe people are very tenacious, regardless of their companions who are constantly dying under the arrows, they still rush forward one after another. Li Chongjiu shook his head secretly. If the foothold is not stable, you can still try to attack, but now the opponent has such a strong crossbow, this is simply letting the subordinates go down to die.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Tudiji, seeing that he had no intention of letting his subordinates back.At this time, the Mohe cavalry attacked the Sui army's formation over and over again, but every time the Sui army's iron crossbow shot dead bodies all over the ground.The plain was full of corpses, people and horses screamed in pain, soldiers who had fallen off their horses rolled in the mud, and Mohe warriors who had been hit by arrows struggled forward, roaring unyieldingly.

Er Tuo saw that his eyes were about to burst, and said: "Khan, what is this Tudiji doing? It's his own son who committed suicide!"

Li Chongjiu's mood was the same as that of Ertuo. Although he was a foreigner, but watching the heroic soldiers bloody on the battlefield, and making meaningless sacrifices, who could bear this scene.

Li Chongjiu didn't speak, and simply rode his horse straight to Tudiji.Li Chongjiu secretly thought that it was not good, so he brought it himself and several guards hurriedly followed.Etuo came to Tudiji and said: "Master, you are letting your sons die in vain by doing this, so hurry up and ask them to retreat."

Tu Diji looked proudly at the forehead, and said: "You are afraid of death, we Mohe people would rather die than retreat. If you talk nonsense, I will kill you in front of the battle."

"Get back from Ertuo." Li Chongjiu rode up from behind and came to Tudiji and shouted at Ertuo, "Do you want me to teach you how to fight? Why don't you apologize to the envoy?"

Er Tuo didn't dare to disobey Li Chongjiu's order, so he withdrew angrily.

The battle continued, and at the moment when the Mohe light cavalry was hit hard, Luo Yi's Youzhou iron cavalry was dispatched.They cut off the Mohe cavalry's retreat in one go from behind, and the armored Youzhou cavalry rushed into the formation of the Mohe cavalry.

Facing the people and horses, they were all wearing iron armor, and the Youzhou cavalry were armed to the teeth, and the Mohe cavalry did not flinch.The two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation in the plain. Except for the mace and bones, the Mohe cavalry had no threat to the iron armor at all, and their knives and arrows did not pose any threat to the armor. With a poke, a Mohe cavalryman was killed and fell off his horse.

On the field, the Mohe cavalrymen were dismounted one by one, and the Youzhou iron cavalry unscrupulously rushed into the formation of the Mohe cavalry, and the Mohe cavalry tried their best, but it was useless in front of the Youzhou cavalry. It's so hard to beat it.Li Chongjiu on the side was stunned when he saw it. Fortunately, it was not his own cavalry of the Xi clan who fought with the Youzhou iron cavalry, otherwise he would have suffered a crushing defeat.

At this time, several Mohe generals came to Tudiji and persuaded with tears: "Prefect, please withdraw all the sons to the river bank! These are the bravest warriors in our clan."

"If it's that simple to back off, who among my eight thousand soldiers would want to fight to the death? If Luo Yi takes advantage of the momentum to cover up and cross the river, how will he resist then?" Tudiji raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Anyone who dares to persuade me will use a knife Hack him!"

When the other party drank, all the generals dared not speak.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu shook his head.A Mohe general at the side came to Li Chongjiu and begged, "Khan, you are a guest, so please persuade the prefect!"

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, looked at him coldly, and pressed the knife in his hand.This turned out to be the posture that if he disagreed with him, he would draw his sword.

Li Chongjiu shook his head, and immediately put his legs together and rode his horse towards the river beach.Etuo saw Li Chongjiu like this, but he didn't understand at the shore according to his words.The war horse stepped through the mud on the river beach, Li Chongjiu's body was bumped on the saddle, and he looked straight at the plain on the other side.
