Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 219

More than 1 riders ran faster than more than [-] riders. Although Tuli set off about a quarter of an hour earlier than Sun Xiangfu, after running for an hour, they could already see the tail of the Tuli cavalry brigade.

"Ma Yi is close at hand, we have to launch an attack to attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city and take precautions in advance."

After thinking about it calmly, Sun Xiangfu made such a decision.

"But if we attack more than 1 cavalry, if we are bitten and surrounded by them, we will die without a place to die." Zhang Ke worried.

"What are you afraid of? With the halberd in the palm of my son, it's no problem to kill him seven times in and seven out." Wang Xu danced the halberd in Wu's hand, bursting out with the same momentum as Xi Junmailin's battle.

It seems that all warriors have a problem. If you have never died, you are not afraid of death. In the early Tang Dynasty, martial arts prevailed in the whole country, and everyone respected martial arts. Due to being too young, this kind of temper sometimes breaks out uncontrollably.

"Well, with the prince here, we have nothing to be afraid of, but we can't do it recklessly. We have to make a plan. The first thing we must avoid is breaking into the enemy's line, because the ratio of our numbers is too big."

Wang Xu was slapped on the horse, which was very useful, and he was not yet proud. Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, he asked puzzledly, "If you don't kill it, how can you hit it?"

After Sun Xiangfu brainstormed, some ideas came out, and he said, "Of course it is to take advantage of us."

"Advantages? What advantages do we have?"

"For example, the war horses of the Turks are pony horses that are suitable for expeditions and have strong endurance, but our war horses are all tall and famous horses collected from various places. Our war horses are much more explosive than theirs. They run short distances and are fast. Even if they ran for a quarter of an hour first, that's why we can catch up with them, then, on the other hand, if we run away, they won't be able to catch up with us in a short time, and this is one of our advantages."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Wang Xu naturally understood that the equipment of the two guards was luxurious, and the horses were naturally the best. In terms of running, the Turkic cavalry really couldn't outrun them within a hundred miles. .

"For another example, Mr. Wang, you are very good at archery. It is not difficult to snipe a few hundred steps away from such a big target! We just need to attract their attention and let them chase us." Since the strategic goal is Remind the defenders of Mayi City, then things will become simpler. With the advantage of horse speed, it is better to use the harassing method.

Seeing that the end of the Turkic cavalry team was getting closer, Sun Xiangfu said again, "In the first wave, the crossbowman is in front, approaching and shooting quickly, and the archer is behind, give way to the continuous crossbowman in front after one round of throwing." The way back."

Ever since he calmly used his brain on the battlefield, Sun Xiangfu is no longer an idiot on the battlefield, and he is still growing rapidly. Of course, wisdom has not given him the ability to fight fear, so he just intends to move his mouth. I never thought that I would rush up and shoot a round.

"click"

The sound of the continuous crossbow lasing full of magic sounded, and a large number of Turkic soldiers who were not considered strong at the back of the large team fell off their horses.

The screams made more Turkic cavalrymen rush forward to react, and some people in the rear turned their horses around one after another. Of course, what greeted them was a round of fast arrows and many long-feathered arrows thrown from the sky.

"Quickly withdraw the crossbowmen."

Sun Xiangfu shouted at the back of the team. When everyone heard this, they turned their horses around and ran towards the path that the archers gave way to.

In the brief round of crossbow shooting just now, at least one or two hundred Turkic cavalrymen fell off their horses. Those unowned horses would temporarily block the Turkic cavalrymen who turned around, which happened to be the right time for them to evacuate.

"Hmph, you just shot a few arrows and ran away. You are too afraid of death." Wang Xu said with a very unhappy expression when he saw that the Turkic cavalry who turned their horses were still far away from his group.

"Young Master Wang, do you think we're going to run away? No, next, it's up to you archers. If they divide their troops to chase after you, you beat your horses and run away with the crossbowmen while you turn around and shoot arrows. This move of the officer Escape tactics will definitely make the Turkic soldiers suffer a lot."

In the pursuit of riding and shooting, the chaser will often be beaten passively. This is the famous kite flying tactic of later generations. It is also riding and shooting. They dodged, but those who fled in front shot arrows backwards, and those who pursued from behind bumped into them head-on, so it's no wonder that the losses were not heavy.

Sure enough, after actually applying the tactics proposed by Sun Xiangfu, Wang Xu actually felt a little bit of admiration for Sun Xiangfu. How could he be chased and flee for his life!It was like shooting a moving target on a shooting range. With a dozen consecutive arrows, Wang Xu easily killed a dozen Turkic cavalry, and the arrows shot by the Turkic cavalry could only hit their horseshoe marks at most, because The horses of people like Wang Xu are faster than those of the Turks.

"It's heavy, the situation is not right, the people we chased out suffered a lot of casualties."

After chasing for less than a quarter of an hour, the number of Turkic cavalry who fell from their horses reached several hundred again, but none of the fleeing men died. Yes, his thousand-man team is about to die.

"We're going to Mayi City soon, don't worry about these people, attack the city with all our strength, and take down Mayi." Absi suddenly gave an order with a troubled face.

Only two hundred riders dare to challenge their army of more than 1 riders. The fighting will and fighting level of the Tang people have far surpassed the Turks. Now, he actually does not have much hope for the victory of the Turks. Only two hundred Cavalry made him feel powerless, not to mention the cavalry of the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, it took less than a cup of tea for his order to be issued, and the rear team panicked again. The cavalry of the Tang Army approached again, and shot a lot, killing a lot of people. After shooting people, they immediately made a move. The posture of running away is waiting for them to chase.

"All the sharp archers go to the back team and use their tactics to counter them."

Since Abu Tusi was able to sit in a heavy position, he was naturally not a fool. He soon understood the subtlety of Sun Xiangfu's harassment tactics. Then he slowed down the speed of the horse and gradually leaned back.

"Puff puff"

Several sounds of armor being pierced clearly reached Sun Xiangfu's ears, which made him aware that the situation had changed.

"Back, back"

If the two horse teams run in different directions, the distance will be opened soon. Fortunately, the arrows are all guards wearing cotton armor. This kind of long-distance throwing, the arrow speed can't cause serious damage to their bodies. It reassured Sun Xiangfu a lot, but this method of chasing after him would not work.

"We have to find a way to inform the defenders of the city, find a way, find a way"

Seeing Mayicheng in sight, Sun Xiangfu became more and more anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he had to calm down and find a solution.

"By the way, light, the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. In this dark night, messages can be delivered faster. The soldiers on the city wall stand high, and it is no problem to see the fire from more than ten miles away."

Soon, Sun Xiangfu asked everyone to start looking for flammable things to start the fire, no matter whose wheat fields were about to mature, they spread out and ignited.
