Chapter 1454 The White Tiger Falls
Although the archers from Zhongyi Archery Club in various counties in Shuofang were not soldiers of the imperial guards, they often practiced bow shooting. Their bows were also excellent war bows issued by the court, and even all their arrows were several, each of which was the best arrows created by the archery shop under the military weapon supervision.
In this regard, the Xueyantuo people could not compare with them, and even the Turks who claimed to be good at riding and shooting could not compare with them.
Sta is a Turkic man who has long been naturalized. Now he is a military horse farm herder in Woye County, Shuofang Road. He also has another identity as a Woye County militia, who is affiliated with Woye Zhongyi Bow and Arrow Club.
Stah was riding a small horse and shooting archery, and she had a strong ability to ride and shoot. After becoming a militia in Zhongyi Archery Club, there were two major training sessions every year, and there were often training. His bows and arrows were tailor-made for them, which was much better than the bows and arrows he used before.
Compared with spearmen, shield players, etc. in militia, archers actually rely heavily on talent and take time. An excellent archer cannot be trained in a short period of time. It must be practiced for many years and years to develop good archery skills. This is not as good as a crossbow player.
The archer must have strength and accuracy, which requires both talent and time to be tempered.
The shield, spear, and knife players in front also shot with bows, but they were all shooting together, aiming in one direction, and then pulling the bow hard at a rough angle and shooting the arrow out, leaving nothing else.
But Stadium is different.
Although he and the archers around him stood behind the sword player, spear player, crossbow player, etc., they held the well-made bow and sharp arrow, but did not shoot and place it randomly.
Every time they fire an arrow, they aim at an enemy and shoot flat.
Star aimed at a strong man with a beard and a long axe on his face. He counted in his heart and shot an arrow.
His eyes flew towards the strong man holding an axe with his arrow. Seeing countless feather arrows flying across the battlefield, his arrow successfully shot into the strong man's neck. The strong man reached out to touch it, but blood kept pouring out. The strong man staggered forward and took a few more steps, and finally fell to the ground.
Star with satisfaction retracted his gaze, picked up the short knife and scratched his quiver, adding a mark.
Then he picked up another arrow and continued to look for the next target. His eyes passed by the ordinary Xueyantuo warriors and did not stop. He wanted to hunt down those powerful warriors.
The thick snow slowed down the charge speed of the Xueyantuo soldiers, but the Qin army occupied the high ground and violently killed the Xueyantuo army with bows and crossbows from a high place.
Although the Xueyantuo people were used to dismounting and fighting in stairs.
But they were not used to this kind of combat method of diving high ground, not to mention that the Qin people also placed all the infantry mounts in the front row, which made the Qin army not only have shield walls, but also horse formations.
The Qin army hid behind the shield wall and horse formation, and continued to shoot arrows from a high place.
The Xue Yan's soldiers charging in the snow kept falling down.
The Xueyantuo people suffered heavy casualties and finally rushed to the bottom of the slope.
They also began to fight back with crossbows, spears and axes.
Many infantry mounts lined up in front of the formation were shot and killed.
The battle is very fierce.
For a moment, countless mounts of the soldiers in the palace fell down, and even a high wall of horse corpses was piled up at the foot of the mountain. The walls were extremely high, so that the archers behind could not shoot the Xueyantuo army behind because of the blockage of these horse corpses.
Yi Nan saw this sudden change from a high place behind and hurriedly ordered.
"The command was sent by the shield warriors who carried the shield over the pile of horse corpses, pushed the shield wall into front of the horse, and slowly advanced. The spearmen and the sword player then stood on the high ground and shot Xueyantuo's army with their crossbows to suppress their offensive!"
The Yi Nan is not afraid of tough battles.
I didn't fight just now, so I retreated here to fight, but I just wanted to take the initiative.
"Shield player, come with me!"
A soldier holding a tall shield in his arms stood up and roared.
He slapped the big shield with the white tiger pattern.
One shield soldier after another behind them slapped his white tiger shield with his spears.
With a huge shield that is nearly one person tall, plus a spear of 800 feet tall, these large shield soldiers are the most solid first line of defense.
But now, they are ordered to attack.
"rise!"
They lifted the heavy wooden shield easily with just one hand.
"one two three!"
The shield soldiers were yelling horns and advancing neatly.
The shield soldiers have always been one, advancing and retreating together, so that they can be like iron walls. They move slowly, but their defenses are amazing.
The person is behind the shield, lift the shield and take three steps forward.
Then the large shield landed on the ground, observed left and right, and re-adjusted the position to ensure that the shield array is complete.
Immediately afterwards, the team troopers shouted again, and the shield soldiers continued to move forward.
Mo Dao Warriors, Axe Warriors, Spear Warriors, and Card Players followed slowly.
The big shield soldiers boarded the piles of many horse corpses.
A large group of Xue Yantuo soldiers also rushed up against the Qin army's crossbow.
"shield!"
"Tiger!"
While roaring at the tiger, the shield hands inserted the white tiger shield hard on the horse corpse mountain, and a shield wall quickly stood up.
"spear!"
"Feng Feng Feng!"
The shield hands pressed their left shoulder behind the big wooden shield, but their right hand was already holding the spear with one hand and stabbed them hard.
Spears suddenly pierced from behind the shield wall.
Long, hard and sharp.
The group of Xueyantuo warriors who finally rushed up the Mazi Mountain were immediately stabbed into a row.
Following the Mo Dao Hand, the long axe, the spearmen, and the sword players behind the shield warrior were not idle either. Although it was not time for them to rush forward, they could stand behind and shoot with bows, guns, and stabbing with swords.
In addition, the arrows shot from the high ground by the crossbowmen in the rear were still passing by their heads.
Xue Yantuo originally wanted to rush through the horse corpse mountain in one go.
Unexpectedly, another shield wall was added to the horse corpse mountain.
Moreover, the shield wall was thorny, and they were stabbed down in a few strokes.
This shield wall kept moving, pressing like a rush.
There is a shield wall in front, a rain of arrows on it, and spears and swords are slashed from left and right from left to right from time to time.
Xue Yantuo's army's charge was interrupted, and the Qin army's counterattack forced them to retreat.
Heavy losses.
Nishu also saw something wrong behind him. He couldn't understand why the Qin army had such a few people who could withstand their attacks and even backed backwards.
"Rare for me, never retreat. I swear to fight to the death. I must destroy these more than 20,000 Qin troops!"
"Khan, beware of the Qin cavalry by the river."
Someone reminded Ni.
But Nishu's eyes now were all about the Qin army infantry of less than 20,000 people. As for the five thousand cavalry, they were a little far away, and he was confident that these Qin cavalry would not dare to come.
After all, although he has a small loss now, he still has nearly 70,000 troops, and now he is only a slight setback.
