Chapter 445 (1/2)
On the boundless plain, the front, middle and rear armies of more than 24000 troops retreated slowly. The officers in the army stretched their necks and looked around, which was quite frightening.
Step on it! Step on it! Step on it!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
The sound of horses' hooves, horns and horns, and the roar of soldiers in the middle, all of which combine to form a sonata of death.
”Cavalry! Xu Huang's cavalry
”The enemy cavalry is coming again. Don't you stop soon?”
”Line up, line up! And the archer? ”
After a flurry of mobilization in Ji Ling's army, more than 24000 troops stopped at once and formed their own formation. A whole row of sword and shield hands listed the bronze walls and iron walls. The bright spears were mounted on the big shield, forming a combination of attack and defense.
And behind the bright shield spears, thousands of bowmen and crossbow men set up their bows and arrows, aiming at the outside to prepare for the attack.
Boom! The hooves of two thousand steeds trampled on the earth and made a deafening roar. Under the leadership of Xu Huang, they galloped wantonly over the plain, just like the rushing flood.
”Archer ready!”
Ji Ling drank a lot, and the Bowman in the army tensed his nerves, and the palm of his hand holding the arrow trembled slightly.
”Attention! Two hundred and fifty steps, retreat at once, no further, you know? ”
Hearing Xu Huang's command, two thousand iron horses galloped forward, but they didn't make a strong attack. They rushed to the distance of 250 steps from Yuan Shu's military array. Suddenly, they made a big turn. Instead of attacking, they went back.
Two hundred and fifty steps is just a good distance for the archer, which belongs to the extreme edge of effective range.
Jump!
Although Ji Ling didn't give the order to shoot, there were many archers in the army. When he loosened the bowstring, many archers were affected. In a moment, thousands of arrows shot out, but they fell into the dust behind the cavalry.
”Ji Ling, Xu Huang will take a step first and come back to greet you later, ha ha!” Xu Tieqi turned back and laughed.
”Damn it!” Ji Ling punches hard, but he is powerless to hammer in the air. He is angry and helpless.
”This damned Xu Huang, like a maggot of tarsal bones, follows behind our army, and can't throw it away.” Ji Ling said angrily, ”in this way, the speed of our army in one day is less than 40 Li, so that we can withdraw to Runan in the year of monkey?”
”General, this is also helpless.” Yan Xiang had no choice but to say, ”Xu Huang's two thousand iron cavalry are very fast. Most of our troops are infantry soldiers. We are short of cavalry. There is really no way.”
Ji Ling hummed, and his anger did not disappear: ”it's all. Order the whole army to speed up the journey, and not to delay the time.”
