Chapter 702 Yinzhou One Night City IV

Hundreds of horses swept through the winter northern Shaanxi land like the wind.

I had just had a moderate snowfall, and there was a vast white patch of white on the official road. Horse hooves stepped by, but snowflakes were splashed.

This is a pure cavalry team, one man and two horses. In addition to war horses, there is also a walking horse or pack horse, which just moves forward at the speed of an ordinary marching.

The knights on the horse's back are divided into two types. One is a typical heavy cavalry, wearing leather armor, horse snares on their backs, bows and arrows, and some of them are also wearing strange-looking "cross crossbows".

The other type is the typical light cavalry. Although it also has leather armor protection, no one carries horses or rifles, but only carries a knife and bow. They are also responsible for taking care of a pack horse carrying a lot of supplies, obviously the auxiliary soldiers and followers of the knights.

In addition, this team of more than 700 cavalrymen has several quite prominent features.

First, there is no banner, obviously, it is intentionally hiding some traces.

Second, during the march, it gradually dispersed in a fan shape. First, it scattered into five teams with about one hundred and fifty cavalry each, and then it scattered into fifteen teams with fifteen teams with fifteen teams with fifteen teams, and later it became thirty teams with twenty-five cavalry. Each team was only a few miles apart, and the left and right were within a visual distance.

In this way, the thirty small teams suddenly pulled out nearly 200 miles, and then began to push the Xixia territory to the north.

This is a typical search-covered formation! It is like a curtain of 150 miles wide completely covering the battlefield of the Song army.

At this time, Yinzhou City, located on the south bank of Wuding River, was already behind these cavalrymen, and was completely separated from the contact with Amitabha Cave and Shizhou.

The fierce and short battle soon unfolded in the entire line of the "Search Cover" in 150.

As long as you truly understand a little military, you will know that the struggle between reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance is the most critical aspect of the military struggle. The party that wins the reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance struggle will have the greatest initiative.

On the medieval battlefield, the protagonists of the reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance struggle were the elite cavalry of both sides.

Wu Haogu, oh, it should be that the reason why Brother Zhao Zhong dared to lead the army of Nao and the warriors who had not completed the training to enter the territory of Xixia. He had enough confidence in the third command of the Yuma Zhi, who was mainly composed of 248 Jurchens and the Bu Ku Knights (in the second invasion and robbery battle, 2 Hashiko Wu Haogu and 1 Jurchen were killed)!

These cavalry, who are both serious and have a great understanding of tactics and are well-equipped, can definitely clear the reconnaissance cavalry of the left wing of the Western Xia Dynasty.

The Xixia Left-Carrier Army Office, who lost its detective cavalry, is just a blind man and a deaf man... Blind man, the deaf man dares to go out of the city to find the enemy to fight? How did they know that the "three direct elites" who are strong outside and do the middle?

The squad led by Wu Tian, ​​the "Chief Fake" also encountered several light cavalry of the Western thieves at this time. The other party obviously saw the horse scepter on Wu Tian and the other four young knights, so they did not dare to get close to the fight. Instead, they turned around and fled to use the horse scepter to rush forward in turn, the Song cavalry that had already scared the Western thieves' left-wing Divine Army Command!

Moreover, it is common sense that Ma Dao does not fight with Ma Hu in close combat, and it cannot be reached at all! However, Wu Tian and his team's ability is not just about Ma Hu.

They also have the buffalo horn bow and the Sanbuqi arrow, and a cavalry crossbow developed based on the stepping of the crossbow.

This is a weapon designed by Wu Haogu. It is to install a wooden handle similar to a buttstock for a reduced-cut crossbow that can be used with one hand. Moreover, this crossbow also uses expensive buffalo horns to make a composite crossbow arm, and is equipped with a three-in-one crossbow arrow, so the range and accuracy are amazing.

Although you cannot arch the arrow on the horse's back, a fatal blow is enough!

Wu Tian, ​​who was riding the horse and following the enemy cavalry, had already clasped the crossbow with the crossbow arrow in his right hand, controlling the reins with his left hand, and his eyes were staring at the back of a Western Xia cavalry.

Because Wu Tian had a second-generation hippo, he soon chased him to the distance where he could exert his power. However, he did not fire crossbow arrows, but chased him while waiting for the opportunity.

In the past few years, the tactical training of the fake sub-legion has been around battlefield reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance. Therefore, the scouts that snipe the opponent have always been the focus of drill content, and riding crossbows is also created to snipe the scouts.

In various drills and recent actual combat, Wu Tian and his brothers have found the best time to fire crossbow arrows, which is to wait for the opponent to turn around and shoot arrows on the horse's back to shoot arrows first.

First, when turning around and shooting arrows on the horse's back, the horse will definitely slow down; second, the enemy who turns around will reveal his face without armor protection; further, when the opponent turns around and shoots arrows, the distance between the two sides is already close enough.

The Western Xia cavalry, who was targeted by Wu Tian, ​​had instinctively felt the approaching of death! During the last invasion of the "Big Song robbers", he encountered these death gods with horses on their backs. Whether it was a formation attack or a competition of crossbows on horseback, he was no match for his own family! Especially a group of "Han cavalry" who looked short and sturdy, they were even more powerful! Not only was the kung fu on the horse back powerful, but they could also wear armor when they got off the horse and rush up the mountain with a horse-drawn shield to chase and kill the escaped Dangxiang men. Moreover, their martial arts skills were so strong that it was strange that it was not difficult to fight a few.

If you encounter such an enemy, you can only escape!

But why do other people's horses run so fast? Isn't it said that the Han people don't have good horses?

The Dangxiang cavalry named Xifeng Awu, who came from the Hejian Grassland, was almost crying! He was different from those Bubazi who lived on the Hengshan Fire Line. The Hejian Grassland was rich in water and grass, suitable for farming and herds, and since Yuanhao's death, Liao and Xia have become increasingly close. The Hejian Grassland has not been heard of inflicted in decades. Before being summoned to the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Office, he was just a herder on the grassland and lived a carefree life.

The sound of death-seeking horse hooves coming from behind was getting louder and louder. Xifeng Awu knew what he had to do, otherwise the terrible horse would be poked up!

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng Awu, who was shaking a little, took out his horse bow, which was not a good bow. He pulled out a few more feather arrows, held the feather arrows with his left hand, and pulled out one of them with his right hand, turned around suddenly, trying to find the target to start, but saw a ball of unknown things flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.

No... As soon as he thought of this, something hit him on his cheek, and then there was a pain at a distance! The arrows in his hand could not hold back, and his hands subconsciously covered his face, but he touched a wooden pole and inserted it into the face!

Fear and pain came at the same time, causing him to temporarily lose control of his balance and horse. His body was like he turned over on one side. He quickly threw himself on the horse's back, covering his face with one hand and holding the horse's neck with the other.

At this time, Wu Tian had already put away his crossbow and changed into a horse snare. At the same time, he clamped his legs and shouted, "Blessing the truth of heaven!" Then he rushed forward, and the horse snare stretched out, shaking its tip like a spirit snake, and suddenly slid over Xifeng Awu's back.

Taking advantage of the huge galloping horse's momentum, the long and sharp tip of the horse turned into a sharp blade that could cut through everything. It cut open the wallet of Xifeng Awu, clothes and flesh, and cut a long and deep bleeding wound on his back... This is a truly fatal injury!

The brutal killing happened on the front of hundreds of miles apart at the same time, and the result was naturally the one-sided Jurchen Gundam and the Bu Bu Kuroko who won a complete victory.

As the two sides conspired to distinguish the winner and lose, the large-scale battlefield around Yinzhou City will soon fall into the control of the Song army. If a small number of Xixia soldiers guarding the broken city of Yinzhou do not escape quickly, they will become real turtles in the jar.

"Xuanzan, look!"

Wu Haogu looked in the direction of Brother Zhao Zhong's finger and saw a smoke pillar rising from somewhere, floating high before being blown away by the north wind.

"It's on fire? That's..."

Brother Zhao Zhong said: "It's Yinzhou City!"

"Has the Western thief abandoned the city?" Wu Haogu was not sure yet.

"Then you need to say it?" Zhao Zhongge sneered, "There must be a Hope Tower on the wall of Yinzhou City, so the Western thieves can see our army, and probably see how their far-distance slant was slanted, and Wu Tian and the others chased. While our army has not arrived yet, they can run away a few more, otherwise they will have to wait for death or surrender!"

"Do you want the cavalry to chase after him?"

Brother Zhao Zhong smiled and said, "The fifth brother (Murong Gu) probably is already chasing him with his cavalry? If there are too many, two or three hundred beheads can always be obtained!"

"Will there be any missing?"

Brother Zhao Zhong said: "There will always be. If there is no accident, the left-wing Divine Army Division of Xiazhou will receive the bad news of the fall of Yinzhou tonight!"

Wu Haogu looked up at the sky, "It's still noon now, and the army should be able to enter the city before dusk, right?"

"Okay." Zhao Zhongge said, "Let the warriors and the knights rest tonight, and let the palace soldiers and archers work hard to build the city, so that the Yinzhou will be almost completed tomorrow morning."

What he was talking about was actually a plan in the "Yinzhou City Repair Plan" formulated by Huang Silang, which would restore Yinzhou City overnight, and then sleep peacefully and wait for the Western thieves to counterattack.

"Okay!" Wu Haogu nodded and said loudly to Huang Silang who was a little far away from him: "Fourth brother, let everyone work harder tonight and repair the city wall to sleep peacefully."

He paused and said, "Double the reward, carry a bag of soil and go to the city to give you a reward of 100 yuan!
