When King Qiuci saw the scene ahead, he couldn't help but breathe a breath of air. He didn't really see it when the Jin army's ballista was performing its prestige before, but now he saw his cavalry collapsed under the attack of the Jin army. The next scene was shocking.
Moreover, according to the news, the enemy will release the crossbow arrows, as if they will not stop, otherwise, the cavalry will not stop attacking, and bear the continuous attack of the crossbow arrows, and the cavalry will suffer great damage.
Even so, there are still a lot of cavalry remaining on the battlefield. The soldiers manipulating the crossbow carriage continuously release the crossbow arrows under the anger, even the cavalry who wants to evacuate the battlefield can't let it go.
Suddenly, the attack of the crossbow carriage stopped, but the crossbow rider who was ordered by Zhang Yan did not immediately withdraw, but confronted the enemy's cavalry on the battlefield. If this is the case, let the enemy's cavalry know about the company. If there are no crossbow arrows in the ballista, what kind of damage will it bring to the army.
The crossbow riders stepped forward in time and gave the soldiers a chance to breathe. Only the enemy cavalry rushed, costing the Jin army soldiers a minimum of 800 men. The cavalry rushed forward and brought the infantry. This is often the case.
Even if it is an elite infantry, when facing the cavalry, it is slightly inadequate, unless it is the elite of the infantry like the dead soldier who is idle and responds first.
The fighting stopped in such a weird atmosphere. The Qiuci cavalry patrolled on the battlefield, seeming to be looking for a chance to enter the Jin army. However, under the protection of the ballista, it was difficult for them to start.
At this moment, King Qiuci got the news that Airey died in battle and the army that had left the city withdrew back into the city. He was so angry that he immediately ordered the cavalry to disperse and rush, even if the Jin army had a means to threaten the cavalry, how could it be because For this reason, the cavalry can give up this battle and fail.
A large number of infantry appeared behind the cavalry, which made King Qiuci more confident. There are infantry in the Jin army. He also has a large number of infantry. Even if the cavalry disperses and charges, it can also give the Jin army. Caused huge casualties.
More than a hundred cavalry soldiers spread out and came towards the Jin army. The distance between them was very long.
But after the cavalry approached the Jin army, the Jin army still did not release the crossbow arrows, and King Qiuci was very angry that "the shameless Jin army used small tricks on the battlefield."
With an order, the cavalry launched a fierce charge against the Jin army. They wanted to make the Jin army pay a heavier price for their actions in this battle.
Seeing the enemy cavalry attacking again, Zhang Yan's face was bitter. When fighting the cavalry, the Jin army soldiers showed extremely tough combat power. When facing the cavalry, they did not retreat, but stepped forward bravely, but no matter what How elite the infantry of the Jin army are, in front of the cavalry, they are fragile after all.
"General, General Zhang Liao has issued an order to let the army retreat!" a cavalry yelled as they rode up.
Zhang Yan didn't hesitate when he heard this, and immediately ordered the army to retreat.
When the army is retreating, it is also the most dangerous time. If there are no rules when retreating, it will give the enemy a chance to get away from their hands when they find an opportunity. It's easier said than done.
Although the Jin army was retreating, hundreds of footmen appeared in front of the Jin army. These footmen were about to stop the enemy's cavalry from charging. They wanted to provide opportunities for the army to retreat.
In the face of the rumbling cavalry, it is impossible to say that there is no fear in the heart, but the soldiers of the Jin army did not give up the pride in their hearts. They wanted to make it difficult for the enemy cavalry to charge in this battle. It is of great help to the retreat of the army.
Even if it is the battlefield, it is okay for them. As a soldier in the army, the most important thing is to execute the command of the general. If you can't even do this, you can't be called a qualified soldier.
In the Jin army, they enjoy treatment that was unimaginable in the past. When encountering war, it is also the right thing to bravely step forward. They cannot shrink back because of the strength of the enemy.
It seemed that Zhang Yan showed an unbearable look at the soldiers who stepped forward. These were all elite soldiers of the Jin army. Although these soldiers were not Zhang Yan's subordinates, they were soldiers of the Jin army. They faced the command of the generals. , Will not hesitate, especially when facing the enemy.
Fighting the cavalry with infantry is a difficult task in itself. It is extremely difficult for the soldiers of the Jin army to do this at a critical moment in the war.
When Zhang Liao's order came, it represented that Zhang Liao led the army to repel the army of Kucha.
As the Qiuci cavalry charged, a cavalry appeared on the right side of the Jin army. The head of the cavalry was armed with a hook and sickle.
Riding the horse forward, the hook and sickle was raised slightly, and the wind whispered in his ears.
This battle is indeed difficult for the Jin army Not only to face the Qiuci army in the city, but also to deal with the reinforcements of Qiuci. The most important thing is that there are so many enemy forces. The cavalry, otherwise, with the previous arrangement of the Jin army on the battlefield, it would be more than enough to stop the enemy's cavalry from attacking.
The Qiuci cavalry who were charging had also noticed the appearance of Jin cavalry on the battlefield. They turned to the more threatening cavalry. Otherwise, after the cavalry rushed into the infantry, if the Jin cavalry came, they would bring them. Come more trouble.
Arrows hit continuously, Zhang Liao's hook and sickle waved from side to side, but all the arrows coming from the attack were shot down by Zhang Liao.
These scenes shocked the Qiuci cavalry armed with bows and arrows. Zhang Liao was far ahead of the cavalry behind him. He took a handful of 20 arrows, but these arrows did not cause Zhang Liao the slightest harm.
"Great King, this person killed General Ai Lei before." A general pointed at Zhang Liao.
King Qiuci nodded and said: "Sure enough, they are fierce generals, but these characters definitely can't stay. The cavalry must be beheaded to kill this person. After eliminating this cavalry, our army can also catch up with the fleeing Jin army infantry. "
How fast the cavalry is. Even if the Jin army’s infantry evacuated the battlefield, it would be difficult to avoid the cavalry. Unless the speed of these infantry can surpass the cavalry, based on the understanding of the surrounding terrain by the Gutzians , It is impossible for the Jin army infantry to evacuate.
What worries King Qiuci is the continuous crossbow car in the Jin army. This kind of weapon that can continuously release crossbow arrows can cause huge casualties to the cavalry. If the Qiuci army can also have such a weapon, fight against the Jin The army has a greater chance of winning.
