Chapter 297 What a miserable word(2/2)
Not only that, but the dozens of cavalrymen around him immediately rushed with him without hesitation.
Just like this, dozens of cavalrymen were about to charge directly into the Xia army's 10,000 cavalrymen!
Not only that, but the rumble of horse hooves seemed to be heard from behind the hill in the distance, and soon, smoke and dust rose up from the large arc-shaped area ahead.
That was an ambush prepared by King Qin in advance!
Because Li Hongyun had read the script, he quickly retreated when he saw something bad going on. Therefore, the Xia army's cavalry had not completely entered the encirclement of King Qin. However, King Qin did not care, he could also order the encirclement to follow.
Obviously, the generals in the encirclement have been secretly observing King Qin's movements.
And at the moment when the King of Qin patted his horse and turned around to fight back, all the Liang troops made an attack almost at the same time, without any hesitation at all.
The King of Qin once again drew his bow and arrows, and the Xia Army cavalry in front fell down in response. The dozens of cavalry he led were obviously the best among the elite. During the impact, the Xia Army cavalry, which was already in a somewhat chaotic formation, became even more chaotic.
confusion!
Li Hongyun instantly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
There is a gap between Xia Jun's organization and Liang Jun's.
Therefore, King Qin keenly seized the moment when he wanted to retreat, the gap in the chaotic formation of thousands of cavalry, and then rushed out directly, further expanding the chaos!
Coupled with the ambush and the waving of flags all over the mountains and plains, it caused huge psychological pressure on the Xia army.
The rear cavalry of the Xia army did not know why the front cavalry turned around and retreated. They may have thought that they encountered an ambush and the front army had retreated.
In such a chaotic battlefield, it is difficult for soldiers to accurately judge the number of people on the battlefield.
Especially in local battlefields, when the soldiers see the enemy's flags all over the mountains and plains, but their own side is panicked and retreats madly, their morale will collapse in an instant - even if their actual number is the number of the opponent's.
Times as much.
Li Hongyun saw that Dou Jiande's generals were working hard to stop the soldiers and maintain basic organization, but during the retreat, failure was inevitable.
However, in such a chaotic situation, Li Hongyun suddenly slowed down a little, and at the same time, he turned back and drew his bow.
Now, you are the one chasing me!
This was not Li Hong's plan, but the moment he saw King Qin chasing after him, he immediately realized that this defeat might be an excellent opportunity created by a combination of circumstances.
An arrow shot out!
The arrow flew out and flew towards King Qin who was rushing at the front.
Li Hongyun is still very confident in his archery. After all, his shooting accuracy does not come entirely from his own skills, but also from metaphysics to a certain extent.
Sure enough, I saw King Qin charging from left to right, as if he was in a deserted place, but the arrow flew straight towards the direction where King Qin was charging!
This effect is more like King Qin taking the initiative to hit the arrow.
It stands to reason that King Qin has charged into battle formations so many times that he is already familiar with snake-skin movements. The speed of the green horse is extremely fast, and King Qin does not just run in a straight line stupidly, but often changes routes left and right to make the local bows and arrows more efficient.
Hard to hit.
But this time, Li Hongyun's arrow shot straight at him!
"Good arrow!"
King Qin actually opened his mouth to praise him, and then he twisted his whole body on the war horse, almost instantly twisting it to an angle of forty or fifty degrees, while his feet were still firmly in the stirrups.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow missed him and missed him!
Li Hongyun was stunned.
I report it, someone is cheating!
King Qin's riding and archery skills were among the best in the world, and since riding was a skill on horseback, it naturally also included the skill of ducking and moving on horseback to avoid attacks.
Yuchi Jingde's proud victory was actually a manifestation of his horse-riding skills.
After all, seizing the horse requires not only great strength, but also one has to dodge on the horse to avoid the opponent's horse's thrust, and then seize the momentary opportunity to seize the horse and seize it.
King Qin's riding skills were naturally superior to Yuchi Jingde's.
But Li Hongyun was not discouraged and took another shot.
It was too unrealistic to expect to kill King Qin with one arrow, so this time he decided to shoot continuously and aimed at Qingzhui, the war horse under King Qin's crotch.
However, at the same time, King Qin's war horse suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Li Hongyun!
Obviously, the King of Qin also saw that Dou Jiande, played by Li Hongyun, was the commander-in-chief of the army. Although it is not completely sure whether this is Dou Jiande, it can also be seen that he has a high status.
This arrow also made King Qin realize that Li Hongyun posed a great threat to him.
Capture the thief first, capture the king first, King Qin would not understand this principle.
In the chaos of the retreat, King Qin's sudden increase in speed and pressing step by step brought great mental pressure to Li Hongyun.
In this kind of environment, those who can really stay calm are the players with super big hearts.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, Li Hongyun opened his bow again and shot three arrows in a row!
But at the same time, King Qin also drew his bow and arrows, and also fired continuously!
"puff!"
"Puff!"
Three arrows were missed and hit in succession.
However, what made Li Hongyun's heart sink was that two of the arrows only hit the chest guard directly in front of the horse, and only one arrow hit the horse in a distorted manner.
Of the three arrows fired by King Qin, two hit the cavalry on Li Hongyun's left and right, while the last arrow hit the butt of Li Hongyun's horse.
The cavalry of the King of Qin were light cavalry, that is, the men wore armor, but the horses did not wear heavy armor.
This is to ensure the speed of the cavalry as much as possible.
However, the fact that horses are not heavily armored does not mean that they are not wearing armor at all. There are still some simple protection measures for some key parts of the front.
Qingzhuo whined and staggered.
Obviously, these three arrows also caused some damage to it.
But the King of Qin suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, and it forced itself to run forward again.
However, the situation on Li Hongyun's side was even worse, because the war horse whined and knocked him down!
This time, he was thrown to pieces, and the cavalry around him panicked.
In a flash of lightning, King Qin had already arrived.
I saw him unfurling his bow and aiming an arrow at Li Hongyun, who was rolling on the ground and about to get up.
"Whoosh!"
Li Hongyun only felt a terrible tearing feeling and severe pain coming from his back. He had been hit by an arrow!
But fortunately, the armor he was wearing was of good quality, so the arrow was not fatal.
But then, Liang Jun's cavalry surged in and engulfed him.
Li Hongyun closed his eyes silently.
He had already guessed how history would record him.
"Taizong fought with dozens of cavalry, Jiande came out lightly, and chased them with ten thousand cavalry. Taizong fired his bows from left and right and shot several people, three of them. Jiande was unable to catch up with Taizong because he was shooting at them. Jiande was afraid of an ambush, so he led his troops to retreat.
, the formation was in chaos. Taizong pursued and attacked with his elite troops and defeated them. The remaining troops scattered in all directions, and the siege of Hulao was solved."
People who see this historical record will definitely laugh at him.
Taizong led dozens of cavalry to challenge him, and then Dou Jiande chased him out stupidly, but before he could catch up, he retreated because he was afraid of encountering an ambush. Then he was pursued by Liang Jun's ambush, and then he was killed in the battle formation. One hundred thousand people were killed.
The army dispersed...
I obviously thought I still had a chance, but after this fight, I realized that it was all for nothing...
Back to the original starting point.
Li Hongyun gritted his teeth and said: "Gather your talent! This time you must gain the talent to be proficient in bow and horse before fighting!"
He realized that the gap between him and the King of Qin was not only in archery, but also in equestrian skills.
The King of Qin could dodge and move on his horse and dodge arrows, but it was difficult for him to control his horse to dodge the opponent's arrows.
If this point is not solved, it may be impossible to catch and kill the King of Qin who is wandering out.
However, Li Hongyun did not give up on personal force, and he had already silently planned Plan B in his heart.
That is... looking for thighs!
So, at this time, is there really anyone in Dou Jiande's army who can compete with King Qin?
There really is.
Chapter completed!
