Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 647 Still the same Qiu Yun

When Fan Zhao received the military report from the front, he immediately sent an order to stop advancing, and prepared to face the battle with the standard stacked formation of the forbidden army. safe.

He himself led more than ten riders to Qiu Yun's cavalry, and when he saw this huge golden army team, his face became very embarrassed.

"Taiwei, there are thousands of captives at the front. Judging by the colors of the flags and uniforms, they are under the command of Helusuo. The general concludes that there are captives and horse infantry on the two wings of the brigade. We are fighting alone!" Qiu Yun couldn't help worrying secretly. , They are really alone, and they may encounter tens of thousands of gold troops, and the prospects are not very good.

Fan Zhao is also considered a veteran. After training at the Military Academy of the Ministry of War, he immediately understood that he was in a dangerous situation. He was delayed a few times on the road, and he didn't ask for a quick march. He missed it by an hour, which delayed the last opportunity to enter the city.

At the beginning, if it weren't for the cavalry of the captives, who took the risk and marched fast, there would probably be four or five people who wanted to enter the city, but it would be too late to say anything now.

More than [-] people are fighting against the advancing Jin army. If any accident happens, even if they form a formation, the entire army will definitely be wiped out.

The weather was very cold, but there was still a little sweat on his forehead, and he said in a deep voice, "What should we do? Should we retreat or move on."

Qiu Yun glanced at Fan Zhao and thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?How to retreat in the wilderness, being hunted like sheep on the way?Now the only way to have a chance is to go all the way to the county seat without hesitation.

He slowly took out the black lacquer bow, stared at the cavalry forming an attacking formation in the distance, and said indifferently: "There is only a desperate fight, or there is a chance of survival."

Fan Zhao smiled wryly for a while. He didn't understand the reason. He just asked out of habit. Qiu Yun obviously despised him, and said helplessly, "It makes sense. We can only fight to the death."

"Taiwei, I will meet the captives in the future to see how capable the kidnapper is, so that he will not dare to despise Da Song Erlang." Qiu Yun said lightly, his calm and decisive attitude really shocked the officials around him. Admire.

Fan Zhao looked at Qiu Yun with complicated eyes. More than a hundred cavalry launched a counterattack against a kidnapped horse. They were looking for death, and they didn't even have a chance to escape. He shook his head and said, "No, we should unite as one and fight steadily. Play it safe."

"It's useless, they plundered their wings, and then attacked my rear with their rifles. We couldn't resist at all. We could only die and survive. We knocked off one side of him and rushed out." Qiu Yun's understanding of tactics is quite deep. Yes, the most effective way to deal with kidnapped horses is to hit them head-on.

The most feared thing about stacked formations is that the horse army will contain them, and Bubazi will approach and outflank them. Therefore, a large formation composed of several stacked formations must be formed to effectively resist the enemy.

It is true that it is dangerous for Baiqi to meet Jin Jun's kidnapper head-on, but he must stand up, there are still people in the city that he wants to meet even if he dies.

"Don't hesitate, Lieutenant. I will lead the headquarters to fight. The Lieutenant intercepts with crossbow arrows on both wings. There should be hope." Qiu Yun's face remained unchanged, and his tone was so resolute that no one could refuse.
Fan Zhao's heart moved slightly, which was considered a standard style of play. Only a strong crossbow could persevere, so that they had a chance to get close to the county seat, but Qiu Yun had a narrow escape.He has been in the military for many years and understands the trade-offs, and he doesn't care about Qiu Yun's arbitrariness, so he said in a deep voice, "Get out as soon as you have a chance."

Qiu Yun managed to force a smile, and said, "Don't worry, the Taiwei, the general knows that too."

"Take care of yourself."

When Fan Zhao returned to the main formation, Qiu Yun turned his horse's head and shouted loudly to more than a hundred cavalrymen: "The man is shrouded in horse leather, the only thing to do is to die, but I don't allow you to die easily. You have to save your life, shoot and kill as many as possible." As a captive, unless it is absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to fight with a knife, do you understand?"

"Swear to the death and fight the captives to the end."

"Don't worry, Taiwei, I always bring a dozen captives with me before I die."

"I will never die in battle until I shoot all the arrows."

"Okay, with me as the center, move forward." Qiu Yun turned his horse's head, holding a two-stone horse army crossbow, and slowly mobilized the horse.

With him as the center, the hundred cavalry formed a formation of wild geese and slowly pressed towards the flanking cavalry of the Jin army. The formation was not spectacular, but exuded a sense of determination and solemnity.

He Rusuo was very envious. He finally caught thousands of Song soldiers, and he was dispatching troops to prepare for a good fight. Who would have thought that more than a hundred cavalry would dare to launch a counterattack, which humiliated him. Come on with me and kill them all."

Nahe is Helusuo's subordinate Meng'an, he smiled arrogantly and said, "A lot."

The Jin army blew the marching horn, and [-] cavalry from the left galloped out, rushing towards Qiu Yun's troops. It was not that Nahe had no soldiers, but he looked down on the Song army, so he mobilized some troops to join the battle.In his opinion, killing hundreds of knights is enough.

Qiu Yun's chest was filled with anger, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Divide into two teams to shoot, and let the Tartars taste the taste of flat hooks and featherless arrows."

With him as the center, the Song Army cavalry spread out their wings and marched in a line of geese, gradually increasing their speed, and fired the first round of shooting at more than two hundred paces.

This army is equipped with an improved crossbow and a more accurate Wangshan, which is extremely powerful in terms of accuracy and lethality.

The two wings spread out and the geese marched. They did not engage in battle with the golden cavalry at all. The battle was all outside the range of the bow and arrow. The advantages of the crossbow were brought into full play, and the loading was slow but accurate.

It was bad luck for the Jin army to go to battle. They were known as kidnappers, and they were all skilled in horse bows and horses, and they were fierce and lawless.However, people don't meet you face to face at all, and you can't even hurt others with a bow and arrow. Is there anything more depressing than this kind of bird thing?

Nahe was really depressed. He had never fought this kind of aggrieved battle. The horse army in the Southern Dynasties had crossbow equipment, but the range of the horse army's strong crossbow was generally lower than that of the infantry, and it was impossible to exceed 230 steps.

This humble pony team actually has a powerful crossbow that is almost equivalent to a god's arm bow. How can this battle be fought?Specially for people as a target.

The cavalrymen of the Golden Army were shot off their horses one by one. It didn't last for a few rounds. Half of the cavalry of the [-] Golden Army lost half of them. No longer able to fight, the detachments withdrew one after another.

Qiu Yun's men did not lose a single person. They were ready to pursue the Jin army when they retreated, but they regrouped into a team, showing superb fighting qualities.

He Lusuo was so angry that he went out with twice as many troops, but he was so angry that he was beaten up by others, and lost half of his men.In addition to being angry, he had to be serious again, and said in a deep voice: "Their crossbows are so powerful."

Seeing the opportunity to perform, Wang Shizhong hurriedly said: "Last year, the first batch of military crossbows were equipped with improved crossbows, which can be shot immediately without too much effort, and the range is no less than that of the magic arm bow. , have the first equipment."
