Chapter 441 The war begins (thirteen)
"Brothers, prepare according to the plan!" Gao Kan said.
Gao Kan's cavalry began to follow the previous training plan, then picked up the bows and arrows in his hands, ready to shoot arrows behind him at any time. This time the enemy had already taken the bait, so it was easy to destroy them. As for the next step, it was when they made their first contribution.
"Turkish soldiers, follow me!" Zhishisili shouted.
Gao Kan saw the enemy charge forward, and had already taken a big step closer, and then shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
"Swoosh swish swish swish..."
Soon a group of Turkic people were caught off guard and then trampled to death. The cavalry of this era was very miserable. Once they were shot by the enemy, even if they were not shot to death on the spot, they would be trampled to death by their comrades behind them with war horses. So these fallen Turkic people can also be used to calculate military merits and annihilate the enemy, and they were all trampled to death by war horses.
"Okay, more than 70 were killed in the first round of shooting!" Gao Kan felt very happy.
The first round of shooting means shooting more than 70 enemies, which is almost one-tenth of the enemy. If a cavalry can have the power to shoot twenty arrows, it is to shoot twenty rounds. If there are seventy each time, it is enough to annihilate more than 1,400 enemies.
However, this is just theoretical data, and it depends on the specific analysis, because the enemy is not a fool, and maybe he will leave immediately if the situation is not good.
The Turkic pursuers were also temporarily suspended because of this archery. Especially when they rushed towards the direction of the arrow flying, this was even more lethal to them. This was the viciousness of this Mangudian tactic, which could allow the enemy to rush towards the arrow. It was difficult for the enemy to archery to produce too much power, because your arrows were running on your side. This can be said to be the least powerful. The enemy received the greatest power.
"Bastard, these Han people dare to shoot arrows at us and chase me!" Zhi Shisili shouted.
Soon the Turkic cavalry had slowed down and charged again. Then Gao Kan looked back and knew that his chance had come again.
"Brothers, cum!" Gao Kan shouted.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..."
The arrow was shot out again, and another group of Turks immediately fell off the horse and died. This time, the Turks suffered about one-seventh of the losses. The Turks' losses in combat increased rapidly, and Gao Kan's cavalry suffered almost no losses.
"Next time we put some in and then hit, which may be better!" Gao Kan said.
Gao Kan couldn't help but hope to save the soldiers' physical strength and then restore more physical strength. In this era of cold weapons, it was not a matter of the number of bows and arrows that restricted the archery ability of archers, but a physical strength. The archers of this era were not like the later lancers. Bows and cavalrymen needed to draw bows. Perhaps every conventional archer could only shoot twenty arrows and have to rest for a while. If it were the guns from later generations, Chen Fei could guarantee that they were invincible, because guns did not require much physical strength. The weight of bows and arrows was not too heavy for cavalrymen, but physical strength was the reason for them.
Now Gao Kan feels that the hit rate of these is still lower, so he wants to put the Turks in some and then shoot, so that they can have greater lethality and avoid wasting physical strength. As long as they can use less physical strength to achieve the greatest results, this is the best choice.
"We are about to catch up with them, so chase me!" Zhi Shisili said.
Zhishishi felt that he was about to chase after him. So he even asked the Turkic cavalry to chase after him as soon as possible so that he could kill these Han cavalry. But he didn't know at all. In fact, it was this kind of feeling of intentional hope for them. It was the most deadly thing. It seemed that as long as he worked hard, he could catch up. Even if he chased the party in this way, he would not give up the idea of chasing him, and he would be dragged to death more and more.
"Shoot the arrow!" Gao Kan shouted.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..."
Hundreds of arrows were quickly stopped shooting again, and the Turks suffered heavy losses this time.
"Haha, more than 100 people were caught at one time, and it was really a big profit." Gao Kan thought to himself.
Nearly 250 Turkic people had dropped their war horses in these three rounds of archery, either shooting or being trampled to death. The Turkic people had lost one quarter of them, but the Turkic people did not notice this. They were still trying hard to catch up with Gao Kan and then destroy Gao Kan and other Han cavalrymen. They had not realized that the i frame had already fallen into the trap. So they were still continuing to chase and kill.
"Shoot the arrow!" Gao Kan continued.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..."
In the next few rounds, Gao Kan had shot ten arrows. Three thousand arrows were set out, and the Turks suffered at least 500 losses. However, Zhishisili did not realize that he had suffered half of his casualties, because he was teased by Gao Kan and had no temper. Zhishisili had already made a ruthless move. If he wanted to catch up with Gao Kan, then he killed Gao Kan. Everyone was charging forward and did not realize how much loss he had on his side. When he devoted himself to the pursuit process, it was very difficult to notice how many people he had killed and injured.
"Soldiers, there are fewer and fewer Turkic people. Let's work harder and destroy them all!" Gao Kan shouted.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..."
After another wave of arrows were shot out, a group of Turks fell to the ground again. They had almost been consumed by Gao Kan, because this Manguda tactic was specifically designed to restrain the enemy cavalry.
"General, our war horses are insufficient!" said a cavalry.
Zhi Shisili then noticed that after such a long distance of pursuit, his war horses were obviously not strong enough. The Turkic horses of the Turkic people had worse endurance than Mongolian horses, so these Turkic horses could no longer bear it.
"No, we're trapped!" Zhi Shisili looked at the soldiers around him, and the number of people dropped sharply by half. Of course he knew that he had been trapped.
"Retreat, we should not continue chasing!" Zhishisili shouted.
Since Zhidui Sili knew that he had been trapped, he naturally would not continue to chase him. He immediately turned his head and wanted to retreat.
"I want to run away? Is it that easy? You are my military achievements!" Gao Kan snorted.
Gao Kan has already had a backup plan. Since the enemy wants to run away, he naturally has to chase them in reverse. (To be continued)
