C290 (2/2)
”Damned Han Army, they're coming so quickly!” Third Prince ran up to the top and saw that countless Chinese cavalry had surrounded him. What surprised him was that the Chinese cavalry did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. Furthermore, each of the riders had a huge tree branch behind them, forming three big formations, like three black clouds, they slowly headed towards the camp of the Gaoguanli.
”Oh my god …” Is this the Korean Army? ” Fifth Prince, who was right behind him, opened his eyes wide, staring at the cavalrymen in front of him without moving. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. ”We've been fighting with the Chinese for so many years. When did we ever hear that they had such a tall cavalry?”
Third Prince had long seen everything clearly, and his heart was beating like a war drum. He waved his hand and anxiously said, ”Don't worry about the cavalry. Gather the troops and don't stay for a moment longer. We will immediately rush down the mountain.”
”third brother, why don't we take the risk and defend ourselves?” The Fifth Prince looked at him in confusion and asked with a puzzled expression. ”Seeing how powerful the Han army is, isn't rushing down now just courting death?” The Han army is flourishing, and such an attack is bound to result in heavy casualties. ”
”The Han soldiers have already come to find us at dawn, they definitely expected us to camp in Xishan, I think it won't be long before the large group of Han soldiers arrive, can our camp withstand the attacks of the pawns?” Third Prince looked at Fifth Prince, his face unusually solemn: ”A fierce battle is already unavoidable, we have to rush out of here before the Han soldiers arrive. Since the Han army has seen through our plans, we will rush to the Imperial City. ”
”Alright, let's rush out and let these damned Han army know the power of our Gauguin cavalry.” Fifth Prince raised his fist and a strange smile appeared on his face. ”third brother, look.
When they had first chosen the place to set up camp, the two princes had already looked at the hillside. On the left and right side of the mountain were dense forests. It was difficult to traverse the mountain, which was not conducive to a large group of people moving. Behind the mountain was a tall and perilous peak, and only in front of the mountain was a gentle slope with tens of thousands of cavalrymen charging down the mountain with unstoppable momentum!
”Don't be happy too early, will Chinese Army Generals be that stupid?” Third Prince looked around and couldn't help but frown: ”Look, they have stopped and divided into three parts. The Han Army on both sides are holding onto bows and arrows, and the Han Army in the middle are holding onto the powerful crossbows that are unique to the Han Army. It seems that they don't plan to fight us head on, but are planning to use their bows and arrows to kill us.”
”Even if it's Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, we still have to give it a try!” He suddenly took off the bow and arrows from his back, and turned to Third Prince and said: ”third brother, they have bows and arrows, our bows and arrows are not bad, let's see who can shoot who!”
The cavalry under the Fifth Prince was also a battle-hardened veteran, they had battled against the Chinese cavalry many times, but they were not afraid of the Chinese cavalry at all. They were old rivals after all. Gauguin cavalry had always been at odds with Chinese cavalry, and both sides had a chance at victory or defeat, but at that time, they had relied on the terrain of the forest to win, and today, they were facing each other in a decisive battle.
”Kill …”
Gao Yuanli's over ten thousand cavalrymen rushed out from the camp, immediately followed by Gao Yuanyi's over ten thousand cavalrymen, over thirty thousand of Gauguin cavalry rode on top of the mountain, before Gaoguellian's war horses even reached their highest speed, like a gust of wind blowing from the mountain, the snow fog s that were swept up covered the sky in an instant.
Qin Wu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. He was glad that he maintained a sufficient distance between them and had even prepared so many branches. A large part of this cavalry's killing power came from the huge impact, if they got a little closer, the impact of the Gauguin cavalry would be unstoppable.
Qin Wu, who was standing on the left side of the array, looked around, seeing that Gauguin cavalry had already rushed down the hill at his highest speed, he raised his right hand high up and shouted to the soldier holding the flag: ”Command all soldiers, get ready to shoot!”
As they were in three separate formations, it was almost impossible to issue orders using the herald. The soldier holding the Banner raised it up and waved it towards Qin Hong and Qin Wei. The soldiers on the right side of the tower and Zhou Pu gave the order for them to prepare to shoot.
”Prepare to shoot!”
Zhou Tower and Zhou Pu raised the bows in their hands and shouted to the Saw Soldier behind them. All of the Sahul cavalry took out their long arrow s and nocked them onto their bows. These Sahul cavalry had followed the Han Chinese army for more than two months already, and had basically learned the basic Chinese language. The first thing they probably learned was this ”Prepare to shoot!”
All of the Chinese cavalry raised their bows, and arrows, no matter if they were longbows or crossbows, they were all aimed at the charging Gaoguellian. Sahul cavalry was still their old tradition, shooting at enemies with their huge longbows. With such a large scale charge, they did not even need to aim at the enemy. They only aimed their arrows forward and did their best to pull the bowstrings, shooting long arrow into the sky.
