Chapter 152 The killing has just begun!
Tens of thousands of troops drew their weapons at the same time, their eyes locked on the Chao army not far away.
At this moment, they turned into war machines, with only the soldiers of Chao in their eyes and the only command in their minds was to kill all the enemies.
Fifty thousand Mongolian cavalrymen took a step forward at the same time, and the entire ground shook. This scene completely stunned Zhang Ye and the rebel soldiers.
"What is going on here? Why are the Hu cavalry commanded by General Ying Xuanze? Are they forming an alliance?" Zhang Ye murmured in surprise.
The sudden appearance of another large army caused panic in Chao State, because the number of this army was not less than theirs, and they were all cavalry.
In terms of combat power, they are obviously inferior to the other side. If they force a fight, it will be difficult for them to escape unscathed.
"General! Let's go back and get reinforcements! The intelligence clearly said that all the Hu people on the grassland were killed by the Marquis of Zhenxi. What's the situation with the sudden appearance of Hu cavalry?"
"Yes, General! It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The dead brothers will be killed by us again and we will avenge them!"
The commander of the Korean army clenched his fists with a look of unwillingness on his face. Because he was on high ground, he could see the specific details of the Mongolian cavalry.
This group of Mongolian cavalrymen were dressed in iron armor and armed with long swords. Their configuration was very similar to that of the Hu people of the Lugo tribe who had received assistance from their dynasty.
But he was also sure that the equipment of these Hu people was different from the equipment provided by their countrymen, and the leader was a Han Chinese. Could it be that Daying had formed an alliance with some Hu people?
The so-called news that the Marquis of Zhenxi annihilated all the Hu people was just fake news, which was actually intended to cover up the news of the union of the two races.
"The enemy outnumbers us. If the battle is really disadvantageous to us, pass the order for the entire army to retreat quickly!"
"The cavalry and infantry will retreat in coordination, and the archers will be responsible for covering the retreat! Hurry! Everyone, move!"
"Yes!" The generals went down to carry out the orders. After a while, the retreat horns sounded from their positions.
At this moment, Bai Qi, who was behind Ying Xuanze, frowned after hearing the horns, and after a moment he grinned.
The smile was cold and terrifying, and in that gloomy face and those cold eyes there was only endless murderous intent.
When Bai Qi led his troops into battle, he had to shed blood. How could he let the enemy escape so easily?
"Run? Can you run away?" Bai Qi drew his sword and shouted, "The enemy is trying to escape, the whole army will chase them! Kill them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mongolian cavalrymen behind him dropped their whips, and the horses under their crotches neighed and began to sprint, and their speed was getting faster and faster!
Huo Qubing also ordered the Qin cavalry to chase after them. At the same time, his [Shooting the Sky Wolf] talent took effect, and the speed of the Qin cavalry and Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield became even faster!
"So fast!" Zhang Ye and the rebels who had already retreated to the safety area in the rear were shocked by this scene and were all stunned.
Zhang Ye's eyes were full of horror. He had heard that the Hu cavalry were very fast, but he had never seen their Daying cavalry be so fast.
The speed of those lightly armed cavalrymen was even faster than that of the Hu cavalrymen! In just a few blinks of an eye, those cavalrymen had already chased after the retreating Chao army.
The retreating commander of the Korean army looked back and was shocked to see that the pursuing army was approaching. He was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
"How is it possible!? How can they be so fast?"
"Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!" Other generals gave orders, and soon, the archers of the Chao Dynasty drew their bows and shot arrows. Arrows flew towards the Qin cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry!
At this moment, Zhang Fei, holding his Zhangba Snake Spear, shouted, "Yanren Zhang Fei is here again! The little thief surrenders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body radiated red light, and his talent [Rage] was released!
[Rage] enveloped all the cavalry, and the attributes of the army were once again improved! This also allowed the cavalry on horseback to use the weapons in their hands to better block the arrows.
After several rounds of archery, the two cavalry units only lost one or two thousand people, and this extremely strong defensive measure also stunned the archers of the Chao State.
There were 10,000 of them! One round of shooting meant 10,000 arrows! And they shot three rounds, which meant 30,000 arrows!
The result was only more than 2,000 casualties, which is unacceptable to anyone!
Bai Qi on horseback suddenly laughed and said, "Is that all? Then it's our turn to attack! Archers, get ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, 30,000 Mongolian cavalrymen put away their swords and switched to longbows, while the remaining 20,000 cavalrymen circled to the left and right sides together with the Qin cavalry.
Bai Qi saw that the archers had pulled their bowstrings to their full length, so he raised his arms and shouted, "Leave them alone! Release the arrows!"
The order was given and at the same time there was the sound of the bowstring being pulled!
"Bang, bang, bang!" At this moment, bows and arrows were released, and 30,000 arrows were shot out at the same time, falling rapidly towards the Chaotian infantry who were responsible for blocking the front!
The infantrymen of Chao State looked up in surprise. They were still five or six hundred meters away from the enemy, so how could these people just shoot arrows like that?
However, what happened the next second made them regret why they didn't turn around and run.
The moment the arrows fell, they devoured the Chao infantrymen! They died without even a scream.
Thirty thousand cavalrymen fired two rounds of arrows, which was a total of 60,000 arrows! And Bai Qi's initial goal was to go after the blocking Chao infantry!
Sixty thousand arrows fell one after another, and the shooting distance was beyond the imagination of the Korean people. Even if they had shields in their hands, they could not guess the enemy's range!
So the 10,000 Chao infantrymen were shot dead on the spot! And each of them was even shot several times and died immediately, which is why there were no screams.
This scene once again stunned Zhang Ye. What just happened even made him suspect that he was hallucinating!
Although their rebel army did not have any decent archers, it did not mean that he did not understand the power of an archer's shooting.
When they first stopped the Chao army, they had already experienced the power of Chao archers. Their shooting range was extremely large and their power was extremely strong. It was also in that battle that more than half of his rebel army was killed, and he had been engaged in a tough battle ever since then.
But now the arrows shot by these archers under Ying Xuanze are even farther! And the interval between two shots is also shorter than that of the Chao people!
This means that after the opponent is hit by the first round of arrows, he won’t even be able to react before the second round of arrows falls, and the final outcome is that he will be shot to death!
This kind of ability is simply beyond human reach. Before cutting off contact with the outside world, he had heard that Ying Xuanze destroyed 60,000 to 70,000 Hu troops with less than 20,000 soldiers.
Is it relying on archers like this?
