Chapter 166: False and False, True and False

Hundreds of people sat or stood quietly, except for the occasional neighing of horses, there was no other sound. The soldiers who had just joined the army widened their eyes, looked at the withered yellow in the distance, and held their knives in their hands. There are both expectations and nervousness in the eyes. Veterans are not the case. Almost all the veterans squint their eyes, seize all the time to rest, and cultivate their spirits. It will definitely be a big battle after a while. , how to kill the enemy later? The ones who came this time were not soldiers from the small tribe of Donghu, but elite cavalry from the royal court of Donghu

Gao Yuan's squinted eyes opened suddenly. At this moment, a black line appeared in his eyes far away in the sky. Then, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came faintly. At this moment, the veterans Opened both eyes almost at the same time, the recruits immediately became excited

Gao Yuan stood up, drew his sword, and as soon as he stood up, the soldiers behind him roared, all stood up, and one hundred and fifty swords were pulled out from the soil

Gao Yuan raised his saber, one hundred and fifty riders turned on their horses, one hundred and fifty long knives were held high, and at the same time they gave a cry, the long knives made a false cut in the air, and the gathered one hundred and fifty riders began to scatter left and right

Gao Yuan got on his horse, with his long knife hanging by his side, staring at the rumbling black line that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

Arenda saw the crossed blood-colored scimitar flag fluttering beyond Lixu, heard the thunderous cry, and saw the glint of the sword under the sun

He snorted coldly, and stopped his horse abruptly. As he stopped, more than a thousand cavalry behind him stopped one by one. Although they were busy, they were not chaotic. Wing-shaped formation, ready to attack at any time

"General, what are these evil horse bandits doing? They don't run away when they see us. Could it be that they want to fight us hard?" A cavalry general next to him looked puzzled at the calm horse bandit opposite him, "No, Sha Potian should have nearly a thousand cavalry, why are there only so few troops here?"

Arenda chuckled, "The horse thief, who doesn't know anything, actually played tactics with me? What's so hard to guess, the rest of his men are hiding on our wings, and wait until we rush over to entangle them Afterwards, the ambush soldiers on both wings came out together, catching us off guard, but unfortunately, they didn't know that we knew their details."

"Tangled in the middle. A surprise attack on both sides is a good idea, but it's a pity that this has to be based on the fact that the two sides have similar combat capabilities. A gang of horse bandits want to play tricks with us?" Arenda's side The general laughed, "General, do you want us to satisfy him a little bit. Let him see what the real Royal Cavalry is like?"

Arenda sneered, "The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength. Your thinking is outrageous. How can there be a weak man under his reputation? Maybe he doesn't have any fighting skills.

But their fighting power is not bad, look down on him. That's a loss"

"The general taught me a lesson!" Although he was still unconvinced in his heart, this Donghu general still had to express his sincere conviction.

"Fu Cong, you lead 300 cavalry into the battle, and I will take the rest to wait for you, and at the same time guard against his cavalry ambushing on the two wings," Arenda arranged.

"The last general takes orders!" Fu Cong nodded emphatically, and galloped out. With a choking sound, he drew out the scimitar at his waist and roared angrily: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Following Fu Cong took the lead in rushing towards the Gaoyuan Array. The 300 cavalry under his command shouted in unison, galloped out of the wild goose-winged formation, ran a hundred paces, and re-arranged into a conical attack formation. Seeing the royal court's iron cavalry rumbling past, Arenda was satisfied nodded

800 paces, 700 paces, the enemy army on the opposite side did not move, and did not intend to charge to meet the enemy at all. The formation also puzzled Arenda. The speed of the horses in cavalry battles must not be ignored. Yes, when one side charges up and reaches a certain speed, but the other side's speed has not yet risen, it will definitely suffer in the battle. Sha Potian is not a fledgling on the battlefield, how could he make such a mistake

Arenda's heart skipped a beat for no reason

Gao Yuan, who was on the opposite side, saw that Arenda did not attack with the whole army, but sent out three or four hundred riders to test the attack. , I’m really in trouble, boy, it’s not true, it’s true, it’s not true, even if you’re a barbarian, you want to teach me the art of war, and you won’t lose your life if you play to death!”

The ambush on the two wings, in Gao Yuan's plan, was indeed to flank Arenda, but not now, his biggest purpose was to let Arenda see through it, so as to leave enough troops to defend the sides. In this way, Gao Yuan can use the traps he set up earlier to kill and injure a large number of Donghu cavalry. When Arenda realizes that something is wrong and the whole army is pressing up, his ambush soldiers on the two wings will attack. up

I'm proud to think about it, this Donghu general finally fell into his trap. If Laiti was a Lengtouqing, and the whole army would attack wildly as soon as he came up, maybe Gao Yuan would really be in a hurry. , but in this way, it is a battle that is evenly matched in terms of numbers, but in terms of combat power, I am not as good as Arenda, so I will lose

Although he is betting, Gao Yuan has the confidence to win the bet, because Arenda is an experienced general, but sometimes, experience can kill people

Six hundred steps, five hundred steps, the people who killed the sky still did not move, Arenda only felt that his heart was beating lively, and if something went wrong, he must be a demon, but at this time, he could no longer call back his The cavalry, the three hundred cavalry led by Fu Cong have already sprinted at full speed

Four hundred steps, three hundred and fifty steps, there was a sharp howling sound in the silence of the battlefield, and Arenda's face suddenly turned pale. He could clearly see the scattered grain carts in the distance. At the end, dozens of black lines shot out like lightning. The Donghu cavalry who were charging suddenly stopped still and fell off their horses as if they were hit by a heavy hammer while running wildly.

"Bed crossbow!" He widened his eyes, how could Sha Potian have a bed crossbow? During the robbery, why did he carry a heavy bed crossbow that was not easy to move? This is impossible

Not only did he think it was impossible, but Fu Cong, who was charging, also thought it was impossible, but his feeling was much stronger than that of Arenda. Just now, after the baptism of the crossbow arrows, he got a life from the gate of hell, and he didn't even have a single life. The crossbow arrows were aimed at him, and the nearest one was several meters away from him.

In the first round of crossbow shooting, more than 20 cavalrymen of Donghu Wangting fell off their horses. Some were directly hit by crossbows, and some were shot dead by horses. to peel off

"This is a bed crossbow!" Frightened by the rain of arrows just now, Fu Cong's face was completely bloodless, but the warrior's instinct still made him wake up in an instant, waving the scimitar, he shouted loudly: "speed up, Go ahead, don't give them a second chance to shoot!"

The bed crossbow is powerful and has a long range, but there is a fatal problem, the winding is extremely slow

Before Fu Cong finished speaking, the buzzing sound sounded again, completely covering his roaring sound, and the second round of crossbow arrows shot at his head and face again, dozens of horses fell off this time, more people fell than last time More than a dozen people, it is obvious that the opponent's accuracy has become stronger

Arenda was stunned, why is the bed crossbow so fast?

In the distance, under the flag of the Scarlet Double Knife, Gao Yuan smiled triumphantly, and the crossbow in his arms opened for the first time to kill. Crossbow, aim, shoot, and then pass the crossbow to the back. When the empty crossbow is passed out, another new crossbow with a loaded crossbow is received at the same time. Behind every shooter, there is a soldier who is responsible for loading the crossbow.

The sound of buzzing was endless, and the crossbow arrows on the opposite side started shooting from 350 paces, shooting down the Donghu cavalry rushing forward for three or four rounds. The armor equipped by the cavalry of the royal court is under the opponent's crossbow arrows, and there is almost no room for confrontation.

Fu Cong's luck was not so good. Those who rushed in front of him and those beside him were all swept off their horses, but he was the only one who didn't even rub his skin with oil.

"Disperse formation, outflank left and right!" Fu Cong roared loudly

The cavalry who charged concentratedly dispersed with a clatter, and rushed up in skirmish formation. At this time, there were still a hundred or so steps away from the opponent. As long as they rushed to the opponent and formed a hand-to-hand posture with the opponent, the victory would still belong to the brave Dong Hu Erlang Yes, Fu Cong's eyes were bloodshot, and he lost hundreds of cavalry before the fight started. This loss is simply unacceptable for the royal court cavalry

"Boss, you are not allowed to shoot the leader, you are really clever, look, that kid jumped into the trap with his eyes open!" The infantry laughed loudly, and reached out to take off the longbow beside the saddle, "Boss, I will go hunt!"

"Go, go!" Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hands

The crossbowmen focused on shooting the enemies attacking from the front, completely ignoring the left and right cavalry of the scattered enemies

Fu Cong jumped up on his horse, the horse jumped high, and leaped over the barricade formed by the corpses of cows and horses in front, his blood red eyes stared at the blood red double sword flag not far away, "I'm going to peel you off..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the horse landed on the ground with a click, and both front hooves of the horse stepped into the pit. With a mournful hiss, the horse's legs folded, and it immediately knelt down on the ground, throwing Fu Cong far away. go out

The infantry raised their arrows, drew their bows, and there was a piercing howl of arrows. Fu Cong, who had not landed on the ground, suddenly jumped backwards, and a feathered arrow hit his face.
