Chapter 204 Ambush the Horqin People
The Korqin people accelerated their horse speed and quickly caught up from behind. However, before they even entered the range of the bow riding, the Chahar people in front also accelerated and the distance was widened again. At such a distance, the Korqin people chasing them could not shoot arrows at all.
"The Chahar people in front seem to be accelerating too! They may have found us, chase us quickly!" Man Zhu Xili shouted in a hurry when he found that the distance had widened.
The Korqin people increased the horse speed to the highest level and the distance was closer. Just as the Korqin people took out their riding bows and were preparing to shoot arrows, the Chahar people who were running away in front took out their riding bows first and turned around and shot a row of arrows.
"Mangu's tactics!" Manzhu Xili cursed.
Rows of feather arrows in front of them pierced the Korqin cavalry crowd in the dark. Although the Chahars were in the open and the Korqin cavalry were in the dark, the formation of the Korqin cavalry was very dense. As long as the Chahars shot a row of arrows back according to the sound of horse hooves, they could hit the target even if they could shoot random arrows.
In the dark sky, arrows fell like locusts. The Korqin people who were chasing each other screamed from time to time, and the row of Korqin cavalry in the front was overturned.
However, the Korqin people were in the dark, and the Chahar people who could not see the target clearly had a low hit rate. After the Korqin people lost dozens of cavalry, the rest continued to rush forward.
"Let me!" Man Zhu Xili shouted at the fire in front of her.
A row of bowstrings trembled sounds in the darkness, and feathered arrows flew into the sky like locusts and pierced into the back of the Chahar people. However, the Chahar people were retreating, which was equivalent to pulling a distance away. Most of the arrows shot by the Korqin people fell behind the Chahar people's war horses, and only a few arrows hit the target.
Like other Mongolians, the Chahars had very poor defense. They were shot by light arrows and immediately pierced into their bodies. The Chahars who were caught in the arrow screamed and fell from the horse's back.
At this moment, the sound of a true feather arrow breaking through the air sounded in the darkness.
"How come there is a archer to shoot?" Man Zhu Xili was shocked when he heard the different sounds of the arrows. But after all, he had been fighting on the grassland for many years. When he heard the archer to shoot, he immediately bent down and used the unique skill of hiding in the stirrups.
In the air on both sides, countless long arrows shot from the high ground on both sides, intertwined in the dark night sky, covering the valley. The rain-like arrows pierced into the crowd of Korqin people, screaming one after another, and the war horses caught in the arrow made a sad neigh. Many Korqin people fell down, including the people and horses.
There was another row of bowstrings, and the unprepared Korqin people were all over the place.
The Korqin people could not see clearly the Chahar people ambushing on both sides in the dark, but the Chahar people could see the Korqin people because the bait that the Korqin people chased was torches, and some Chahar people were shot off their horses, and the torches fell to the ground and were still burning. The Korqin people just chased them, and the flames illuminated the Korqin cavalry.
The Chahar people who were ambushing the hills on both sides were like shooting live targets, setting bows and arrows again and again, constantly shooting arrows like heavy rain, causing heavy casualties in Korqin people.
"There is an ambush!" Manzhu Xili shouted.
The Korqin people who were not shot to death dismounted one after another and took off their shields from the horse's back to block the arrows that were constantly shooting.
"It's almost done, prepare to set the rockets!" Badashi gave the order.
The Chahars took out the fire slits and lit the torches. Then the burning rockets were shot out by the Chahars and pierced in the valley, igniting the haystacks that the Chahars had already piled up, and igniting a raging fire. The flames illuminated the Korqin people in the valley, leaving them completely exposed to the light.
"Kill! Kill them all!" Hu Luke turned his head, gritted his teeth and pulled out his scimitar and pointed to the valley where the flames were soaring. The arrows shot by the Korqin people just now also caused dozens of people under Hu Luke to kill. The Korqin people surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, which caused great trouble for the Chahar people, and every Chahar people hated the Korqin people.
"Kill all the traitors of the Heaven of Eternal Life!" More than two thousand Chahar cavalry whipped their horses and rushed towards the Korqin people.
At this time, in order to avoid the rain of splashing arrows, the Korqin people had all dismounted. Facing the rushing Chahar cavalry, the Korqin people who had no weapons could not fight at all. They could only take out their longbows and hedge against the Chahar cavalry coming.
"Let me go!" Man Zhu Xili shouted, pulling her already hoarse voice.
The Korqin people, who were covered by the body of the war horse, suddenly stood up from behind the war horse, set off their bows and shot a row of arrows.
The row of cavalry in front of the Chahar people screamed and fell off the horse.
"Kill! Kill all the traitors of the Changshengtian!" The Chahar people shouted and killed in the darkness on both sides.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and countless Chahar cavalry rushed down from high places on the east and west sides. In addition, the Chahar cavalry who had returned from the west and killed the Chahar cavalry from the west, the Korchin cavalry who was practicing rifts were attacked from three sides.
The Chahar cavalry was about to rush forward, and the bows and arrows could no longer resist the Chahar cavalry's charge.
The Korqin people squatting on the ground pushed the horses out one after another. The horses that were originally squatting on the ground stood up and rushed towards the formation of the Charhar cavalry charging. The unmanned war horses collided with the rushing Chahar cavalry and had a violent collision. Many Chahar cavalry were knocked down and off their horses.
But the Korqin people who lost their horses had become lambs to be slaughtered at this time. The Chahar cavalry rushed into the Korqin people's crowd, and the scimitar cut at the Korqin people with a lot of hatred.
The Chahars vented all the pain and hatred that had been suppressed in their hearts for several years. As early as the second year of the Tianqin year, after the Korqin people intermarried with the Later Jin, the situation of the Chahars began to be bad. After the Korqin tribes surrendered to the Later Jin, the five tribes of Nei Kharkha were destroyed. Later, the battle between Lin Dankhan and the Later Jin was repeatedly defeated. Every time Lin Dankhan was defeated, the Korqin people always acted as hunting dogs of the Later Jin and struggled to chase Lin Dankhan's tribes.
Without the Korqin cavalry, the Jurchens would not have been able to chase the Chahar people on the grassland. With the Korqin cavalry, the Jurchens were like tigers, resulting in Lin Danhan's losses every time they were defeated.
Therefore, the Chahars regarded the Korqin people as the largest traitor. This time, the Chahars successfully ambushed the Korqin people. The Chahars fought desperately and killed them, killing them so hard that they screamed and blood flew everywhere. With the help of the firelight, Tashhai's eyes were full of corpses everywhere, the Korqin people's broken limbs and legs and heads were spread all over the grassland, and there were also the Korqin people who had been stepped on into human meat patties by horses. Blood flowed on the snow, and frozen into bloody ice, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
The killing was still going on. The Chahars who were red-eyed and did not want to be captured. As long as they saw the living Korqin people, they would just call them over with one knife or hit them on horseback.
