Chapter 122: Meeting on a Narrow Road
The battlefield is a melting pot, trampling and crushing everything that has anything to do with “self-righteousness”.
In addition to a very few high-ranking generals in the Northern Liang Border Army who will use weapons other than the standard, such as Ning Emei’s long and short halberds, as well as Li Morfan’s mobile arsenal that can’t be viewed in a normal way, there are a few people who have their own long lance, in addition to which almost all of the border generals don’t carry any heavy or strange suspected contraptions. As for the cavalry battle, definitely not like a lot of people imagine that kind of start charging collide together, then slow down and stop the horse entangled with each other cut, this kind of ugly picture can let the insider riding will feel collapse, that really is a waste of the valuable cavalry as foot soldiers. In fact, just like the jianghu people cut the two weapons, a touch that is scattered, and then look for the next opportunity to fight.
Now the three thousand riders chased the seven thousand qiang horsemen running the dragon elephant army, if in the previous wave and ke cheng department qiang horsemen in the charge failed to achieve results, then will be in pull out a period of spacing, wang lingbao will turn his head to observe the enemy’s cavalry movements, to decide whether to directly stop the horse to turn around or slow around the arc of the way to start the second round of collective impact, if the second wave of collision still did not distinguish clear signs of victory or defeat, wang lingbao will have to According to the damage of his own cavalry, to choose which part of his command should give up the heavy iron lance and replace it with the lighter Liang sword, and which part should continue to use the iron lance to charge or light crossbow to shoot. In the battlefield, a small advantage can expand the advantage, but a loophole is enough to bury the whole army. From “Great General” Xu Snapdragon to “General” Chen Zhi Bao, the two men who had made the deepest mark on the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, both firmly believed in one thing, the real strength of the Xu Family Iron Cavalry lies in the fact that it has enough patience and strength to wait for the enemy to make a mistake of its own accord.
Encountering such an impeccable enemy, that group of Qiang Riders undoubtedly had the bad luck of eight lifetimes.
This Qiang cavalry thought it was a wolf into the flock, not only in the flow of state “eat” a meal, and even hope to go to the rich Central Plains in the future, all the cavalry are year after year to hear people say that the Central Plains of the good, where there are countless good land, silver piled up into the mountain, and the women there ring fat and thin, and most importantly their skin is better than the grasslands of the wind and sun. The most important thing is that their skin is too much better than the grasslands of the women in the sun and wind, touching up with the top quality silk general. But the fact is that before dark, the dream is shattered.
Three thousand dragon elephant riders killed them like a lost dog. If not for the unique swiftness of the Qiang horsemen, in this kind of defeat in the rout, with the dragon elephant cavalry extremely efficient pursuit, simply can not last half an hour.
The cool crossbows that had been snowed away in the previous charge finally gradually exerted their outrageous killing power. In order to pursue maximum speed, the Qiang cavalry even gave up their unfamiliar spears and spears, and the armor they wore was only the standard of the North Mang’s ordinary light cavalry, which was a far cry from the light but sturdy and expensive armor of the light cavalry under the generals of the South Dynasty. It is important to know that the Liang crossbow is a successful combination of the advantages of the two famous crossbows in history, Qin crossbow Feng crossbow freak, assembly and disassembly are extremely easy, after two generations of great craftsmen in Beiliang Liang improved, all kinds of Liang crossbows have a near-perfect balance. In addition to the speed of fire, the crossbow’s range, penetration and accuracy are better than the longbow, in countless wars between the Central Plains Dynasty and the northern nomadic wars, the foot battle rider, treading crossbow bed crossbow can play a huge power.
Therefore, it is said that for thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty has used two things to block the hooves of the northern nomads.
One is the lofty city, and then is the powerful crossbow.
Among them, the use of crossbows, can be said to be perfect Northern Liang if you call yourself the second, no one dares to call themselves the first.
North Mangnan dynasty on the perception of the Northern Liang short crossbow is familiar, can be described as abhorrence, the South King Huang Song Pu once committed to the large-scale promotion of similar short crossbow, just because of a variety of complex reasons were obstructed by a number of parties, the results are very little.
The best horse riding skills of the best set of Dragon Elephant cavalry is responsible for intercepting, slowing down the escape of the Qiang riders, constantly shooting a crossbow, as long as the kill, regardless of the Qiang rider life and death do not care, even if the Qiang rider fell off the horse, the military credit at hand is absolutely not go to look at more than one glance. Everything is handed over to the back did not hold the crossbow robe to make up a spear stabbed to death stabbed to kill.
Such a clear division of labor, naturally exceptionally vicious and bloody.
For these wretched Qiang horsemen, the unfortunate thing is that the young man who came up and threw the black tiger for fun, after the initial killing spree, after that, they will get back on the horse and no longer start killing.
Qiang ride at first is not thought of to birds and beasts scattered posture to flee in all directions, to avoid being dragon-elephant iron cavalry all the way to chase and kill, just only appeared this seedling, dragon-elephant cavalry in the main general looks like a stout man commanding the scheduling, immediately have a response to the method, remove and Qiang ride entangled with the dragon-elephant ride crossbow rider, 2,000 dragon-elephant gun rider quickly stretched out the front, and then violently accelerated the charge, the color of the clear up the arm crossbow, almost with the front crossbow rider cooperation. The front crossbow rider cooperation, form a pocket formation a brain pocket all the qiang rider, wait until the qiang rider give up this idea, continue to cluster together to the north of the crazy retreat, those dragon elephant cavalry and began to gradually slow down the speed, recuperation on horseback, this kind of compared to the bow shooting more hidden war, more qiang rider feel scalp numbness spine spine bone raw cold.
Northern nomadic people are born on horseback, because born in trouble, so had to be brave and warlike, but the sky and the earth is vast, the soil, but also raised the grassland riders that kind of loose and unruly deep in the marrow, they can do not be afraid to die, to run the thunder as well as cover the ears of the momentum of the wild charge, but their kind of disorganized front fell in the eyes of the Central Plains with the army, is really worthless, the kind of Loud hissing and waving the sword, even let the buttocks lift away from the horse’s back pugnacious posture, in the disciplined Beiliang border army are must wear off the edges, the Beiliang cavalry is the most important holistic, never respected single gun and horse a single hero of the battlefield.
Huang Song Pu, Liu Gui and Yang Yuanzan can stand out in North Mang, with their preservation of North Mang’s own strengths and draw on the essence of the Chinese military law at the same time, suppression of North Mang’s inferiority has a significant relationship.
Today the 3,000 Dragon Elephant Cavalry is the master, the Qiang Riders are the students, and the teacher taught the students this.
Unfortunately, the tuition fee is too high and has to be exchanged with lives.
Wang Lingbao calculates in his mind the retreat speed of the Qiang riders, and the terrain on the borderline of the Southern Dynasties and the distribution of the garrison, as well as the support speed of the other two Dragon Elephant Cavalry armies, and considers whether it is better to simply kill all the way into Gusai State, and then run a long distance to the back of Liu Gui, that old guy, and use an iron spear to poke this Southern Dynasties great general’s buttocks, in the Beiliang Border Army, there is no feeling for any old Southern Courtyard King Huang Songpu or Yang Yuanzan, except that Liu Gui is the only person that has the best of intentions, and that he is the only person who is able to make the right decision. In the northern Liang border army, there is no feeling for the old southern king Huang Song Pu or Yang Yuanzan, but Liu Gui is the only one that everyone wants to cut off his head, the reason is very simple, the northern barbarians yell that “Liu Gui can be half of Xu Snapdragon” every day, Wang Lingbao can’t bear it, and the entire northern Liang border army can’t bear it!
As a battle-hardened border general, Wang Lingbao naturally has his own thoughts, two thoughts are not selfish, one is to kill Liu Gui, and the other is to use his own Dragon Elephant Iron Cavalry to have a good battle with the two heavy cavalry of the King’s Horde.
In the turbulent history of war, there had never been a true duel between the light cavalry and the heavily armored iron cavalry. Even Liang and Mang, who were rich in warhorses and had excellent horse policies, had utilized the mobility of their light cavalry to carry out raids and killings during the twenty years of confrontation.
On the Liang-Mang border, a magnificent battlefield destined to shed thousands of miles of blood in the future, the two sides have the best horses, the sharpest swords, the most valiant cavalrymen, and the most vast and flat battlefield, and perhaps someday there will be the first duel between the heavy cavalry and the heavy cavalry in the history of war.
The iron cavalry in the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, in addition to the Old Liang King’s personal army, the Great Snow Dragon Riders, the next is the old Dragon Elephant Army with close to six thousand heavy cavalry.
The Great Snow Dragon Riders were the most crucial family base of the Northern Liang Army, and would not be mobilized easily, so Wang Lingbao firmly believed that he had great hopes of letting the whole world see what was called the battle of heavy cavalry, and in the future, for a hundred years and a thousand years, there would be people who would not forget about it.
Will not forget that there is an army, called the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry.
Wang Lingbao from what for the country for the people of the righteousness, for the North Liang die to defend the Northwest but to be away from the Yang court all kinds of calculation, by the people of the Central Plains as a wolf hearted barbarians, he does not have resentment? There is, and a great deal more!
But the history books can forget him Wang Lingbao this kind of death is dead little man, but can not forget the great general’s life’s blood, the northern Liang army!
Wang Lingbao suddenly saw the commander beckoned towards him, quickly went forward, Xu Longxiang calmly said, “You lead the troops to chase and kill for thirty miles, kill as many as you can, and then return to Qingcang City.”
Although Wang Lingbao was full of doubts, he still did not question anything.
Then this vice general of the Dragon Elephant Army saw the teenager reveal a rare hideous smile, leap to the Black Tiger northward, running wildly all the way, directly leaping over the large group of Qiang riders, heading northward alone.
Can’t it be that there is a fallen big fish in front?
Wang Lingbao is of course interested in this kind of good thing, if you can go to Guseizhou to show off is better, but he is not a reckless person who does not know the importance of all the 8,000 Qiang riders together is not as good as a Xu Longxiang.
Can let the young commander-in-chief to move the character, certainly is not easy with the generation of small fish and shrimp, Wang Lingbao immediately had a decision, shouted with a few lieutenants and then ordered in a deep voice: “30 miles, do all the Qiang horsemen, missed a few horsemen, will be offset by a few horsemen’s military service. If you don’t get enough credit for your offense, you know better than me what will happen to you according to the old rules of the Dragon Elephant Army. For this thirty-mile journey, you are allowed to let go of your hands and kill as you please.”
The sun set in the west.
More than a hundred miles further north than the teenager who rode the tiger northward, the two did not ride horses, almost flying through the air, all the way south.
The middle-aged green shirt swordsman, wearing the North Mang dynasty’s first sword “fixed wind wave”.
He looked like a sword immortal.
The height of the figure next to him is mind-boggling, as tall as two women in Jiangnan, and covered in gold color, solemn face, like a heavenly general who descended to the mortal world.
Behind them and a hundred miles, there is a horse galloping, the rider wears a black hat, covered in a wide black robe, seems to be a little afraid to see the sun.
His fingers holding the horse’s reins had been trembling slightly, not just his fingers and arms, but his entire body, lips and teeth were no exception.
This was the price that had to be paid for the return of a borrowed body.
Precisely because he had paid this tragic price of not seeing the light of day to be able to survive, he was more eager than anyone else to let the pair of brothers surnamed Xu die, and make sure that their deaths were even more miserable than his!
He had indeed already died, and was still torn alive by someone.
But a cut willow can become a shade.
He a cut willow.
Has relied on the Great Qin Dynasty’s long lost secret art to come back from the dead.
