Chapter 1247 Fight or retreat(2/3)
The military orders were like a mountain, and the archers gritted their teeth and rushed over.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry on the other side covered it with a wave of arrows, and then followed them across the river.
Behind him, the third group of cavalry took position with crossbows in hand.
The Shegu cavalry who dismounted and became archers suffered heavy casualties, but many of them still came close to the shooting range.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry who were crossing the river suddenly became confused.
The war horse fell down after being hit by an arrow, and its heavy body could not even be washed away by the river water, blocking it in the river. The cavalry fell off their horses and floated slowly downwards with the river...
A war horse ran wildly, then slipped, and the cavalryman on the horse fell into the water, splashing water. Just as he tried to stabilize his body, an arrow flew over and pierced his throat.
The Shegu archer who released the arrow just smiled proudly when he was killed by two crossbow arrows flying from the other side.
Lin Shu knew that he had reached a critical moment.
Should I use the archer to shoot another round, or should I just cover it up?
There is no doubt that another round of shooting with archers can greatly weaken the opponent's first wave of assault. Then he leads his army to intercept and kill on the shore, easily defeating the opponent.
If they attack directly, the fighting will be even more brutal.
Most of the five thousand cavalry were soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty, mixed with some Shegu people.
His deputy is the Shegu man, who is roaring at this moment, "Tell them to shoot arrows quickly!"
But after another round of shooting, the archers would have no time to retreat.
Then, there will be a massacre.
"Lin Shu, do you dare to disobey the order?" The deputy looked at Lin Shu angrily.
"I am the commander-in-chief!"
Lin Shu looked determined, "The archers withdrew and the cavalry attacked."
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry in the river was constantly approaching, and the crossbow arrows from the other side were constantly covering them. The archers had long been unable to hold on. That is to say, the Shegu people's cruel military law was there, so no one dared to run.
After hearing the order, the archers turned and ran away.
Behind him, Zhen Siwen tried hard to whip the war horse. The horse's front hooves scraped hard in the river water, raised its head and neighed, and rushed forward fiercely.
As soon as they landed, Lin Shu's cavalry on the opposite side launched an assault.
It stands to reason that Zhen Siwen's best choice at this moment is to take his men in a roundabout way to contain the enemy, so that the subsequent Northern Xinjiang cavalry can land more easily.
But Zhen Siwen's mind was thinking of Yang Xuan's words before leaving.
——When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
"Detour!" Lin Shu had the calmness to anticipate your expectations, and ordered his subordinates to separate, preparing to intercept Zhen Siwen's detour.
But Zhen Siwen pointed a horizontal knife at him and roared: "Follow him, kill him!"
There are no righteous slogans!
It's that simple and crude.
It reminds me of the chaotic early years of Taiping City, when gangs fought over territory.
At that time, the leaders shouted such slogans and were the first to rush towards their opponents.
At this time, whoever is the most fearless will win!
The Shegu people who were dividing their troops were immediately disrupted. Lin Shu did not expect that he would encounter an opponent who did not follow common sense.
"Assemble!"
At this time, the deputy general took over the command, and he even felt that Lin Shu had done something intentional.
"Shegu!" the deputy general shouted and rushed out first.
But the shouts from behind were sparse.
The deputy general looked back and saw that most people were looking at him with dissatisfied eyes.
Unless the general surrenders to the enemy, how can the deputy general deprive him of his command authority?
But the ancients didn’t think so.
Deep down, they felt that they should suppress the Northern Liao soldiers.
Shegu people are naturally superior to you!
There was nothing wrong with this attitude in the past, but this is a battlefield!
When the people of Beiliao were preparing to fight desperately.
The deputy general was startled and said angrily: "Attack!"
Lin Shu took a deep breath and said, "Attack!"
In the overall situation, he can only choose to wrong himself.
Moreover, it is true that he made a mistake in judgment.
The two armies immediately strangled each other.
…
front.
The Shegu army is advancing.
Scouts kept bringing news of the approaching Northern Xinjiang army.
Every time, looking at the resolute expressions of the scouts when they set off, Asibao became curious. "I should have seen that Wang Lao Er before. Is he so brave?"
"When a war breaks out, individual bravery is useless!" Deji said.
"Stop!" Asibao said, "Let the warriors rest."
There is no way, after being disturbed last night, less than 30% of them can sleep peacefully again.
So Shegu people need to rest.
Moreover, waiting for work can also bring psychological advantages.
The Shegu army stopped.
Although it had just been breakfast, there were still many people eating solid food.
The new soldiers will ask curiously, while the old soldiers who eat solid food will only laugh.
Maybe, after eating this meal, the next meal will be underground.
Asibao spent a lot of money on breakfast. All the cattle and sheep accompanying the army were slaughtered in the middle of the night. Everyone had meat. This was not easy when the food reserves were insufficient.
Moreover, all the dried meat was distributed. According to Axibao, after this meal, the next meal will either be eaten by the Northern Xinjiang Army's dry food, or they will die.
He understood the secret of burning the cauldron and sinking the boat without any teacher.
Puff puff puff!
There was a shaking sound in the distance.
A black line appears on the horizon.
The black line slowly moves this way.
The singing came.
"The wind is flying, the flags are flying, and the big horn is blowing, so the swords and spears are sharpened."
Amidst the majestic singing, rows of foot soldiers walked in order.
They held spears in their hands and held their heads high.
Everyone was singing military songs loudly.
"The sky is clear, the fields are vast, the blue sky and the huts are in the hunting ground, the thunder is roaring, the tigers and the eagles are flying."
The cavalry appeared, marching forward from both wings.
Puff puff puff!
The footsteps sounded neatly like one person.
But it shook the world.
The Shegu soldiers who were eating dry food slowly raised their heads.
It was as if I could feel the smell of blood.
"He's coming."
Asibao smiled and said: "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. My brother, he is here."
Puff puff puff!
