Song Dynasty

Chapter 322
A cavalryman smiled wryly and said, "General Ying Xiang, horses are not human, can they understand what you say? Let's go quickly, because there will be more dreams after a long night."

Yue Yun laughed lowly: "Why can't a horse understand human words? It's smarter than you! The master knows how well he treats him. Seeing how nervous you are, how old are you? You are the most courageous in the army to attack the enemy's large formation, look at you, hey, is it cold, what are you shivering for?"

Seeing Yue Yun making fun of the cavalryman, the others all laughed.

The man blushed: "General Yingxiang really underestimated me. I was afraid when I went to the battle. However, the water here is the deepest, and the horses can't rush. If the Khitan dog finds us and kills us suddenly, it will be Can't escape."

Several other people also said: "It is extremely, it is extremely, General Ying Xiang should hurry up and go ashore."

"Hurry up, we're going to charge later, let's save some energy before we talk." Yue Yun stretched out his hand to wash in the river, and took a few gulps of it: "I don't want you to protect me, five Six people, the guards can't protect them, and they will delay their work. When the fight starts, I will rush to the forefront, so you just follow me. One word, hurry up!"

While speaking, the water under his feet gradually sank, getting shallower and shallower.After a while, the war horse came ashore.

In the distance, there was still the faint sound of horseshoes, and the Yuanlanzi of the Liao people was gradually approaching here.

In front of me was a low hill with no trees, only withered yellow weeds undulating in the wind.On the flat ground farther away, countless bonfires have been lit, illuminating the entire river as if it were daytime.In the light of the fire, apart from the wilderness, there are patches of mottled paddy fields after the autumn harvest. Just like in Jianghan, the local people will irrigate the fields after harvesting rice to kill pests in the sky and facilitate rice planting in the next spring.

In this way, there is soft ground everywhere, which is not suitable for large cavalry charges.

In the middle of the paddy field, you can clearly see a white road rising straight into the distance.

A scout pointed to the road and said, "Ying Xiang, we have reached the end of the land. This is the official road. If you walk along the road for about fifty miles, you will arrive at the old camp of our white army. Can't run fast."

Yue Yun said: "We can't run fast, and the Khitan dogs can't gather a large number of troops to attack. It's a good thing. When we get to the official road in one go, we don't need to be sneaky anymore."

"Okay, it's General Yiyue's." All five scouts nodded.

At this moment, Yue Yun suddenly took off the big gun hanging on the side of the saddle, and looked forward intently.

Seeing his unusual expression, everyone shut their mouths.

There was still silence ahead, and in the cool night wind, the water in the paddy fields trembled slightly, like countless glass fragments.

"Zhang Gong, take the arrow, pay attention, the Liao dog is coming, head to the left!" Yue Yun suddenly shouted, and pointed the big gun towards the hill on the left.

At this time, suddenly, the sound of "咻咻" piercing the air resounded thrillingly.

A row of feathered arrows shot from the long grass in the hills and depressions in the distance, and the shiny metal arrows instantly occupied the entire eye.

It was almost impossible to dodge, and in an instant, the six of Yue Yun were hit by arrows.

A few muffled groans came from the crowd, and the voice was full of pain.

The bows and arrows used by the Liao people are no different from those of the Song army. The bows are powerful, but not enough to penetrate hard armor.Yue Yun and the others knew that it would be a hard battle after crossing the river, so they put on their armor early.However, the armor of the cavalry is much worse than that of the infantry. If the weight is too heavy, the horses will not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, even though the arrows didn't penetrate deeply into the flesh this round, it still caused unbearable pain.

At the most troublesome time, the horse had no armor on it, and immediately a horse hissed and knocked the knight off the seat.

Almost without giving Yue Yun and others a chance to breathe, with a roar, about twenty cavalry Liao scouts rushed over from there.

"Fire the arrow!" Amid the shouts, the other four Tabai let go of the bowstring at the same time, and shot back.

The distance between the two sides was no more than a hundred steps, and the Liao people charged intensively. They almost didn't need to aim, and the feather arrows easily hit the target.

The cavalry of the Stepbai Army are not big in the Sizhou Army, but their strength is not small, making them all Mongolian hard bows suitable for fighting on horseback.This round of arrows shot out, and a cloud of blood mist burst out from the enemy group on the opposite side.

Amid the wailing of the horses, the Liao people who were thrown from the saddle rolled on the ground like stones, and then the horses behind them put on a hoof, which broke their tendons and bones.

There was no time to take care of his companions on the ground, the Liao people pulled out their weapons at the same time after shooting a round of arrows, rode their horses and slammed into Yue Yun and the others fiercely.

The spear in Yue Yun's hand stabbed towards the ground, picking up the companion who fell to the ground.

With a shout, he picked him to an empty horse beside him, and shouted: "Don't love to fight, let's go!" With his ability, fighting twenty enemies with six cavalry is a piece of cake. Take off the heads of these Khitan people within a short period of time.

But he couldn't afford to delay.As long as you stop for a while, the enemy's brigade will rush over in the next moment.Once you fall into the encirclement, don't even think about leaving today.

Time, time is so important to him.Not only is it related to life and death, but it is also related to the victory or defeat of the white army and the entire Anlu battle.

The six people turned their horses' heads at the same time, and rushed frantically towards the official road ahead.

Behind them, the Khitan began to shout, and blew a shrill bone whistle, calling for their companions in the distance to come and intercept them.

At the same time, they came again and opened their hard bows, shooting arrow after arrow.

With a sound of "ding", sparks splashed from his shoulders, Yue Yun felt his body tremble, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a feathered arrow bouncing off his body.

It turned out that accidentally, his shoulder was shot by the enemy.Fortunately, the shoulder of his armor was decorated with an iron lion's head, which caught the arrow.Otherwise, if he was shot in and accidentally injured his tendon, there would be no need to fight tonight.

"It's really amazing. I can easily spot my cavalry crossing the river, and then quietly lean over here to set up an ambush, and can also use a bow to defend against arrows on a galloping horse. It is indeed the essence of Khitan!" Yue Yun couldn't help but praise. With a sound.

Beside him, Ta Bai, who was picked up from the ground by Yue Yun earlier, snorted dissatisfied: "Liaogou is nothing special, it's not just riding and shooting, we can do it, and we won't lose to them."

While talking, he also drew his bow and ran, turning around and shooting back.

Seeing his energetic appearance, Yue Yun asked loudly, "How are you doing now?"

The man was so angry that his face turned blue: "General Ying Xiang, my subordinate was thrown off by the horse just now, but he was not injured. Thank you General for saving my life, let me show Liaogou some color."

"Very good, follow me closely, we're going to have a good time today." Yue Yun's eyes flashed with fanaticism.
