Push forward.

As for the crossbowmen and halberd soldiers who were not protected by shields at the rear, people were constantly being shot to the ground.

The batch of arm-shaped crossbows provided by Luoyang had a range of about 140 to 50 steps, but Li Zhigao did not let the heavy crossbowmen rush to fight back.

The enemy cavalry in the front formation mainly used longbows, but the three hundred cavalrymen in the rear raised their spears at this time. It was obvious that they expected to see their formation scattered by arrows, and then charge directly towards them and kill their

The formation was completely disrupted.

With spears and halberds suppressing the formation, Li Zhigao was not afraid of the enemy cavalry rushing towards them, but the terrain they were in was relatively open at this time. Seeing that the enemy cavalry was ineffective in charging forward, they would inevitably spread out to the two wings, and then find a way to hold them back.

The mounted archers at the rear can draw their bows and shoot arrows faster and more steadily.

The arm-loaded crossbows provided by Luoyang are extremely powerful, but the shooting speed is much slower than that of the familiar mounted archers. It takes about three arrows for the enemy cavalry to shoot one arrow.

And because the crossbow arrows of the arm-opening crossbow do not have tail feathers, only the tail of the arrow shaft is made into a narrow wing shape to improve balance, but it is still less accurate than long-feathered arrows when shooting at long distances.

If the two-handed generals did not have heavy armor to defend themselves, and the bows and crossbows were so far apart and they lined up to shoot at each other, they would definitely suffer a big loss.

Li Zhigao suppressed the urge of the crossbowman to shoot and continued to press forward at the risk of casualties. When the two sides were within a hundred steps, he saw that the terrain on the right had narrowed, and the towering cliffs gave people a strong sense of oppression. Li Zhigao

Then he ordered the heavy crossbowmen to shoot.

The sound of the steel string of the crossbow snapping away was even clearer. More than two hundred crossbow arrows were fired at the heads of the enemy cavalry, and more than twenty enemy cavalrymen and horses were immediately shot to the ground.

The penetrating power of the crossbow arrows was astonishingly strong, shocking the enemy cavalry. The remaining hundred or so cavalry archers subconsciously wanted to move back and distance themselves, not daring to shoot at the Liangzhou army at such a close distance.

Although there is no strong enough force in Longyou to command the Longyou and Hexi states, and the tribes are constantly fighting among themselves, it is just so that the Longyou and Hexi states definitely have a lot of elite soldiers, and there are also many brave and good generals.

Seeing this scene, the more than 300 cavalry in the rear formation did not want to be hit by the retreating cavalry archers in front, so they immediately rushed to the river beach on the left wing. Although the formation was quite scattered in the rush, under the loud shouts of the leading general,

, and soon divided into two teams, one team went to kill Zhang Song's troops who were advancing along the river beach, and the other team wanted to attack the flank of Li Zhigao's troops.

Zhang Song also ordered the crossbows to be fired first. He also knew that the generals were tired, so he could only take the lead. He led the guards into the front formation, and met the enemy cavalry with the generals holding halberds and sabers. The two sides fought on the river beach first.

Come together.

Enemy cavalry were swarming over, and Zhang Song was on the low river beach. Even though he and several guards around him were still on horseback, they could not see the fighting on the post road and the slopes to the north.

He only had one thought in his mind, which was to turn diagonally and attack the post road, which would not give the enemy enough room to maneuver.

"clang!"

Zhang Song had many guards on his left and right, but only a few war horses. He sat astride the war horses and stood out in the array.

The current seven or eight enemy cavalry were also brave. Seeing that he was covered in armor and not afraid of arrows, they also knew that he was the leader of this team. He ignored the stabs from the left and right spears and took advantage of the momentum of the horses to tear them open.

With a thin layer of soldiers who were tired of killing, they directly approached Zhang Song. At the same time, six or seven sharp swords and spears slashed at Zhang Song.

Zhang Song stabbed an enemy to death in the head, and the spear in his hand stabbed directly into the man's eye socket accurately and hard. Even though he held a shield and used it as a shield to stab the chest with a spear, the enemy's cavalry hit him on his right shoulder.

After a sharp slash, his left armpit was stabbed by a spear that came from the side like lightning.

There were too few horse guards on the left and right, and they were the first targets of the enemy to shoot. In the blink of an eye, there were only two horse guards left beside him, which could not help him withstand the attack from high places.

It is difficult to break armor with a knife, but it is difficult to block the thrust of a sharp spear. After all, the force of a stab is much greater than that of slashing with a knife on horseback.

Zhang Song was not worried about his right shoulder, but subconsciously looked at his left armpit. He looked down and saw that although the enemy's spear pierced the armor at the left armpit, the spear blade got stuck less than an inch after it penetrated and failed to penetrate.

The inner armor didn't even hurt him at all.

When Zhang Song was stabbed by the spear, his body tilted to the side. Of course he knew in his heart how powerful the stab was, but he didn't expect that the more than ten pairs of full-coverage plate armor sent from Luoyang were stronger than the full-coverage plate armor.

The armor is more than ten kilograms lighter, but the protective power is actually much better - they tried to test the protective power by cutting with swords before, but they were not willing to stab it with a spear.

Zhang Song couldn't help laughing, he retracted his spear under his arm and swiped at the blade-wielding enemy on the right with all his strength.

The Qiang cavalryman had a broad, red face, a beard, and was wearing a mountain-ringed mail armor that was rare in Longyou. He knew at a glance that he was also a leader of the tribe. This man obviously did not expect that his spear at such a tricky angle could actually hit him.

It failed to pierce Zhang Song's armor.

Although he immediately withdrew his spear and dwarfed slightly, he used his arms to catch Zhang Song and hit him with the spear, but only then did he realize that he and the six horsemen did not dismount Zhang Song immediately.

The cavalry was blocked outside, and there were soldiers from the Liangzhou Army on both sides.

He is under siege.

Even if he blocked Zhang Song's spear, he could not block the four spears that were stabbing him from the left and right at the same time. The next moment, his thigh was pierced by a spear, and his body was stagnant. He watched helplessly as Zhang Song advanced towards him.

The door is stabbed...

"He is so handsome!"

The enemy cavalry in front yelled, and they suddenly became panicked.

When Zhang Song saw this scene, of course he knew that the person they killed was an important figure in the enemy army. Taking advantage of the panic of the enemy cavalry in front, he pressed forward with his horses and stabbed the two enemies with his spears.
