Chapter 107 Flying Riders Chasing the Soul You Have a Child Dragon
The Xianbei people who left a corpse evacuated from the town in panic and retreated anxiously along the road of burning, killing and looting when they came. Quejubisha didn't understand why the Han people would let him go, but Queju Yanke felt that the young and handsome general wanted to play a game of cat and mouse. Of course, the person who played the role of mouse has been replaced by Xianbei people!
"Teacher Commander, the enemy is retreating! Come down quickly!" Several soldiers behind the shield wall were crying and crying Xu Huang.
"Kill! Who will die..." Xu Huang was still waving his axe selflessly, and he could not hear the shouts of the soldiers below.
"Brother-in-law, sister asked me to tell you, you have helped us get revenge!" Hu Feiya, who rushed out of the house, shouted loudly at Xu Huang.
I have to say that Hu Feiya's shouting came to the point. Xu Huang was extremely cruel to the enemy, but the softest part in his heart was firmly occupied by Hulia. When he heard Hu Feiya's familiar shouting and the syllable "Sister", Xu Huang's somewhat dazed spirit finally slowly relaxed. He stopped the big axe in his hand, looked up at the Xianbei corpses that were killed by him, and fainted on the mountain of dead people...
"Report to the commander, more than half of the Xianbei people have suffered casualties, and now they have escaped twenty miles!" A whistle pointed at Zhao Yun, who was covered in cold face.
"Guo Changzi, now you and I exchange commands. The heavy cavalry battalion is led by you and the guerrilla battalion is led by me! You are responsible for gathering the Xianbei horses along the way and supporting other towns that ignited the beacon fire nearby. The guerrilla battalion follows me to pursue the Xianbei people!"
"I'm going to receive the order!"
Soon, Zhao Yun led five hundred guerrilla cavalry to pursue the Xianbei people in the direction of the escape.
The Xianbei ten thousand men, who fled in panic, were retreating north with only half of the remaining men and horses. Suddenly, they saw another cavalry waiting for an open ground in front of them, each of them posed a bow and arrow. Without waiting for their own actions, the other party launched an offensive!
However, when the soldiers saw Xu Huang launching three piles of beacon fires, they rushed from the farther west route to rescue the first battalion of light cavalry led by Quyi, the Quyi.
Zhao Xing now has only two thousand cavalrymen and three thousand horses. Basically, it is configured according to one battalion of 500 people. Among them, one heavy cavalry regiment has only one pitiful battalion. It has a little special. One person is equipped with two horses, one light cavalry regiment and two battalions, and one guerrilla cavalry regiment and one ** battalion, all of which are single horses.
On New Year's Eve, Hu Cheer led the heavy cavalry camp and now ambushed with Zhang Liao on the road to the north of the Xianbei people; Guo Changzi led the guerrilla battalion and Zhao Yun had just fought a fierce battle with Queju Bisha; Qu Yi, the light cavalry, had just cooperated with the infantry battalion led by Fang Yue to kill nearly a thousand soldiers and horses from the neighboring county, rushed over!
Everyone may have forgotten that when a military meeting was held a few days ago, Zhao Gang, who was standing behind Zhao Xing, held a thing that looked like an inverted arch bridge in his arms, "two ends high and concave in the middle"? Of course, it is from the classic "high bridge saddle" from later generations! If there is a saddle, there must be improved stirrups!
Since Zhao Xing traveled through time, it was not the first time to play "invention and creation". Of course, he knew how important it was to cooperate with saddles and stirrups to restrain the Xianbei people who were already good at riding. Zhao Xing's original plan also had a "killer weapon" that could greatly extend the service life of the horses. He had to wait until the new steel forging method made a breakthrough before preparing to install nails in a unified manner. He is still lying in Zhao Xing's secret document.
Speaking of here, we have to review or discuss the history of saddles and stirrups. According to: The earliest cultural relics that were discovered in China that express the saddles of Gaoqiao were works in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such as the riding figurines and saddle horse painted wood carvings unearthed from the Han tomb of Leitai; and the earliest sculptures with stirrups were horse musical figurines in the tomb of Yongning in the Western Jin Dynasty of Changsha. Because the stirrups in these figurines only had a triangular stirrup under the saddle on the left side of the horse's body, which was only half as high as the calf, and there was no on the right side, and the rider's feet did not step on it, so it was considered to be the prototype of stirrups and was only used for horse riding; as a result, the earliest physical double stirrups were the gilded copper-wrapped wooden stirrups from Feng Sufu's tomb of Beiyan in the 16th period of Beipiao in Liaoning.
In the previous article, Nandao once said that when Zhao Xing reorganized his army, he established a special military equipment research and development institution. What did this institution do? Now you can see some clues from the changes in Zhao Xing's army one after another?
Institutions named "Military Equipment Institute" by Zhao Xing have successively manufactured new helmets and armor, saddles, stirrups, which can form a large shield, spears and other equipment. Although the quality of the steel used makes Zhao Xing not satisfied, they still equipped some troops first, such as the cavalry and heavy infantry that Zhao Xing focused on. Anyway, these steels with lower quality can be restored to improve their quality in the future!
At present, the Wohu Equipment Research Institute is stepping up the development of the "Scottish Longbow" and "Mongolian Large Bow" and the improvement of the "siege bed crossbow", and developing the "Pili Car" and "Zhao's Crossbow"... There are some shocking information here. Hehe, the South Road will be kept in a close first.
Quejubisha was already scared by Xu Huang's devilish behavior. When he saw another army sniping at him, he did not have the courage to fight. He just wanted to take the remaining tribesmen back to the prairie. If he could not bring the remaining tribesmen north, his tribe would have to be annexed by other tribes in the end. Quejubisha, like a betrayal dog, brought less than a thousand remaining soldiers, and continued to flee north without daring to look back...
If, what we are talking about is if! If Queju Bisha still had the ruthlessness and confidence he had come from the north and organized his tribe to attack Qu Yi, Qu Yi's troops blocking the road would definitely suffer major casualties. Unfortunately, tonight was destined to be a bad day for the Xianbei people. Queju Bisha was only concerned about escaping, and let the light cavalry camp led by Qu Yi tear off another piece of "hind leg flesh"!
The Xianbei people have not yet run half a mile away, and the guerrilla camp led by Zhao Yun over there was like a life-seeking ghost, chasing them like lightning!
Queju’s two uncles and nephews regretted it now are almost crying! What kind of troops are they? They have never seen Han people so fierce, and they have never seen Han cavalry cooperate with such tacit understanding. Those who chased them have no ladders to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground! The leader and the company patted their chests and said that the Shangdang defenders were nothing but native chickens and tiles, and they were not afraid at all. After fighting today, they realized that the so-called "native chickens and tiles" were clearly "freak wolfs and hungry tigers"!
Seeing that Zhao Yun's troops had already bitten up, Quejubisha sighed to the sky and shouted to his nephew: "Uncle covers you, you must escape back to the grassland and tell the big leader Shangdang's real situation, otherwise the big leader will lead his army south in the future and suffer a great loss!"
"Uncle, I will definitely avenge you in the future!" Que Juyan Ke continued to run forward fiercely with tears in tears. He knew that now was not the time to act voluntarily. Even if he stayed, he would just add another body. The pursuit of Han cavalry was obviously not something that scared people from his side could stop him. He even began to doubt whether the Han generals were reincarnated by Huo Qubing, who killed the Huns hundreds of years ago and moved the royal court out of thousands of miles.
Captain Wan led a hundred people to stop Zhao Yun's pursuit and launched a counterattack very resolutely.
"Get a bow and get an arrow!" Zhao Yun waved his hand and stopped the troops.
"volley!"
"Swish swish..." Hundreds of arrows broke through the air, and the Xianbei people who were coming towards him were shot and fell off their horses, leaving only dozens of people rushing over.
"Kill!" Zhao Yun rushed to the front with his gun.
After all, the commander of ten thousand men who had been through a long battle formation, he actually rushed towards Zhao Yun without any damage under a rain of arrows.
"Ah!" Que Jubisha waved a long sword in his hand and slashed at Zhao Yun.
"Kang!" The blade of the long knife slashed the gun rod in Zhao Yun's hand, and a long string of sparks emerged. Zhao Yun was not afraid, and held the gun rod of the spear tightly in both hands. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, pushing the opponent's long sword away. Before the other party could slash again, the spear turned half a circle in his hand, and a spear stabbed into Quejubisha's throat...
After Zhao Yun shot Que Jubisha with one shot, he gently pulled the tip of the spear, pointing to the long sword that the other party fell towards him with gravity. He took the opponent's weapon with his empty left hand. With a big knife, a head fell down. When he was about to fall to the ground, he was stabbed by Zhao Yun's spear with a long spear in his right hand and pressed it on the tip of the spear!
In just a few breaths, Zhao Yun completed a series of actions of blocking, launching a gun, closing his knife, beheading his head, and picking the gun. It was simply done in one go, without any dragging.
Zhao Yun held a spear in his hand and pressed a glaring head of Que Jubisha, and continued to pursue the escaped Xianbei people...
Qu Yi, who followed Zhao Yun from behind, looked at Zhao Yun leading the crowd and felt a little chilling in his neck. Last time Qu Yi fought with Zhao Yun, fortunately Zhao Yun wanted to recruit talents for Zhao Xing, but he just knocked Qu Yi fainted and did not slash his neck horizontally!
