Chapter 587 Warrior
"Lianju marksmanship?"
"Two arrows and four kills?"
The Yifu knight, who galloped wildly to pursue him, felt in a trance, as if he was dreaming.
"How can this be?"
A Yifu knight shouted to his stunned companion, "Everyone, be careful, there is a sharpshooter in that Tang Qi, and that guy is good at continuous shooting."
The knight who didn't see that scene couldn't believe it, and then became angry. Usually, Yifu Abao is extremely strict with these young guards, and they all think that the tough and elite are far better than others.
Compared with other Tuyuhun herdsmen, I really thought they were number one in the world.
During this meeting, four people were killed by two arrows, and they couldn't help becoming extremely angry under the panic.
"Kill that fellow first!"
Before the knight who spoke could finish his sentence, Chang Sun Chong had already put on a heavy arrow. He turned his head and shot another arrow. The knight raised his shield to block it. Unexpectedly, this arrow was specially ordered by Chang Sun Chong. The ones brought by Luoyang used Uzi black iron arrows, not armor-piercing arrows.
The light and thin cowhide riding shield blocked the arrow.
The knight was about to taunt a few words, but the next moment a heavy arrow pierced through the shield and ruthlessly nailed into his face. Before the man could speak, he was also shot to death.
Chang Sun Chong killed five enemies with three arrows, and the frightened Yifu cavalry lost their souls.
Over there, Tang Qi had already roared, split into two with a tacit understanding, and outflanked him in a detour from left to right.
The forward Tang Qi raised his bow and arrow on his horse one after another, looking at the dazed and terrified Yifu cavalry to shoot.
As the one-in-a-hundred striker Jingqi, all of these people are good players, and some of them are elite generals of the Changsun family. They are all elites of the forbidden army. Changsun Wuji specially arranged to follow him to Longyou to guard the son.
The eldest son of the eldest grandson's family came out to practice, of course, it is impossible to be without reliable and loyal guards around him.
In a moment.
Already a dozen Yifu knights fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.
The screams woke up those young Yifu Yingwei, and they finally realized that they were fooled.
Tang Qi didn't want to escape, but deliberately dispersed to lure them to pursue.
Faced with danger, the young eagle guards still did not lose their courage. They roared and fought back with bows and arrows, and some even straightened their spears and swung their knives to speed up the charge.
Chang Sun Chong put away his bow, and immediately put on a black lacquer lance. This lance is worth a thousand gongs, and it is a famous equestrian weapon carefully crafted by a real master.
Cavalry hedge, the brave wins.
The fierce charge ended soon.
The young Eagle Guard suffered its first disastrous defeat since its establishment. Many Eagle Guards paid the price with their lives. Before they died, they realized that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
"Check that there are no survivors, don't kill them." Zhang Sun Chong panted heavily.
"Know!"
The knights responded cheerfully, and then skillfully cleaned the battlefield. Those who died directly cut off their heads with a single knife, and then cut off their left ears. The purpose of cutting off the head was to make up for the knife, and only the left ear was cut off so that it was easy to carry and carry as a military certificate.
Although the Longyou Army used the left ear instead of the head as the proof of beheading last time, and was made things difficult by the court envoys, Qin Lang didn't care about it, and in the end the Ministry of War did not dare not to count, so now the Longyou Army has become accustomed to directly cutting off the ear .
Occasionally, there are a few who still like to cut off their heads, but they become a rare minority.
On the open field.
The other three teams of Tangqi were still fighting against Tuyuhun Rangers. They successfully lured Yifu Rangers into the bait. When they chased them excitedly, what greeted them was not the fearful Tangqi, but the fisherman who was even more excited than them. By.
Chase and counterattack.
Several teams fully demonstrated their bravery and skills.
Although Yifu Yingwei is still brave, the result of the battle is already doomed. The young eagle is not a cunning and powerful hunter opponent.
In the blink of an eye, the results of the other three teams fighting each other soon came to fruition.
Almost one-sided hunting.
The Knights of Eph paid blood for their recklessness and sloppiness.
The eagle guards were proud of their proficient horse skills, riding and shooting, but they were completely defeated by Tang Qi. They have light armor that the Tuyuhun herdsmen envy, and some of them also have iron armor.
Their equipment is far superior to that of ordinary herdsmen, but it is far inferior to that of Tang cavalry, not to mention that these Tang cavalry are the most elite Qing cavalry in the entire Longyou Army, which is the camp equipment under Qin Lang's command Armored cavalry are far superior to heavy cavalry.
In the past, the eagle guards were proud of their cavalry and archery skills, but compared with Changsun Chong, their bows were not as strong as theirs, their arrows were not as sharp as theirs, and they were far inferior to these pioneer cavalry in terms of shooting range and armor-piercing ability.
In terms of experience before the battle, although the young Eagle Guards have a passion for blood, they are nothing compared to the Longyou hob meat that survived the rain of swords, guns and arrows.
Especially their tacit cooperation, even if it is such a small group of cavalry battles, they are still in a three-three formation, three cavalry in one group, and three groups of mutual assistance. .
The excellent armor on their bodies also added wings to them. Even if they were shot several times, as long as they missed the vital points, they could often be protected by the armor.
Basically, in every three-person team, there will inevitably be a marksman with extremely superb archery skills. Coupled with the cover cooperation of the other two, it is impossible to defend against.
On the battlefield, only a few Eagle Guards escaped the siege by chance, and fled westward in a hurry, not daring to turn their heads. They completely forgot that not long ago they were shouting that this horse is mine, and that Mingguang armor is his words.
The few riders galloped all the way back to Mantou Mountain in embarrassment.
"Really?"
Half a day later, several Eagle Guards knelt in front of Yifua Leopard, and reported the ranger sentry battle in shock.
"Don't dare to lie."
"Not exaggerating?" A Baoben was discussing military affairs with Li Shi, and he couldn't believe it after hearing their reports.
"You have five hundred cavalry, and you have faced two hundred cavalry head-on, but you have suffered such a disastrous defeat?"
Abao’s Guards adopted the standing guard system, with a team of a hundred men and a battalion of a thousand men, each commanded by a centurion commander and a thousand commander, and five hundred cavalry, that is half a battalion.
Abao’s ranger battalion only has a total of 1,000 riders. They are responsible for the mission of ranger scouts. They are usually well-trained, but now they have lost half of the battalion.
The other party actually only had two hundred riders.
This is not an ambush raid.
Several Eagle Guards lowered their heads in shame, but they were young and bloody, and did not exaggerate the number of Tang Qi, and reported the battle situation truthfully.
A Bao asked Li Shi, "How strong is Tang Qi?"
Li Shi didn't quite believe it either, "Unless the Ranger camp encountered Xuanjiaqi, I heard that this time the emperor of the Tang Dynasty transferred several generals to the front line of Longyou, "Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui, they were all The chief steward of the Xuanjia cavalry, and Liang Jianfang, Gao Kan, Xi Junmai, and Gao Zhensheng, all of them used to be the school lieutenants and partial generals of the Xuanjia cavalry. Could it be that the emperor also transferred his famous army? Xuanjia cavalry? "
"Let me ask you, how many horses did Tang Qi lose?" Abao asked.
Yingwei's face flushed, and finally said in shame, "It seems that there are not many casualties."
"How much is it? How much?"
Eagle Guard looked at each other, "It should be less than 10%."
"What?"
"We lost too quickly. When we broke out, it seemed that we had never seen Tang Qi fall from his horse."
"I didn't see it either."
"The armor of those people is very good. Some of them were shot with several arrows, but the arrows stuck in the armor. They were not affected at all. They continued to charge as usual. I doubt that they were hurt."
·······
Young eagle guards, you said bluntly that you didn't seem to see Tang Qi falling from his horse, maybe Tang Qi didn't break down at all.
"Li Canjun, do you believe that half of my Ranger Battalion Eagle Guards were lost, but I didn't even kill a Tang cavalry? Even if those two hundred cavalry were Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, it would not be so outrageous! "
"Damn it!" The eagle guards knelt down.
Abao pulled out his knife, walked up to several people, and drew a wound on each of their faces with the knife.
"You should have been put to death, but now that the war is imminent, I will save you from death first, and I hope you can make atonement!"
The eagle guards retreated with blood on their faces.
Ah Leopard's face was serious.
"Unexpectedly, Li Shimin not only sent several fierce generals, but also sent his Xuanjia cavalry this time. No wonder Fu Yun was defeated so quickly, but why didn't Fu Yun remind me at all?"
Li Shi tentatively said, "Why don't we just withdraw."
A Bao flicked the knife, shaking off the blood stains on the knife, put the knife back into the sheath, and sat down again.
"It's definitely too late to retreat now. Tang Qi has already caught up. If we move now, we will be defeated. Once the hundreds of thousands of horses are broken up, they can only be slaughtered by others. The real recovery is powerless. No matter how critical the situation is, you can't take this step."
"Li Canjun, until now, there is only one battle. My Yifu Department and the previous one hundred thousand people, now have 30,000 young and strong soldiers here, including my three thousand Eagle Guards. I don't believe it. Can't fight!"
Li Shi reminded Abao that he had lost half a battalion of his 3,000 Eagle Guards, and now only 2,500 were left.
A Bao's mouth twitched in distress.
"Qin Sanlang only has 10,000 real Tang soldiers, and Murong Shun's 10,000 troops can be ignored." He thought for a while, "It's just that we have to adjust our battle plan. Originally, I planned to camp here and wait for Qin Sanlang He led his troops here, confronted him dignifiedly, and defeated him. But now it seems that these Tang cavalry are the best of the best."
"Li Canjun, we have to use some strategic tactics."
"Your Majesty's words are right. The Tang army has come out with all its elite troops, and they are rushing forward. Now they are armed with the prestige of a great victory, and their sharpness is sharp. Why don't we retreat into the valley in the middle of Mantou Mountain and defend according to the danger? First avoid their sharpness, and then lure them to come. attack, and then destroy the enemy's morale by taking advantage of the danger."
Li Shi spoke directly to the map, and quickly proposed a battle plan.
This plan is actually similar to Fu Yun's previous idea of retreating into Kushan.
A Bao shook his head, Fu Yun had already fled in defeat with this strategy, how could they follow suit?
