C416 (1/2)
Seeing that the cavalry of Youzhou had broken through two lines of defense, Li Que could not help but become anxious. If she were to charge again, the cavalry of Youzhou would be able to escape from her sight. He thrust the spear into the ground and roared.
”All of you dismount, gather in a formation of spears. The last team will use Arrows to kill them!”
Due to Yang Lin being the first to use stirrup and saddle, West Cold Cavalry had started to be popular. As a result, West Cold Cavalry was also a master archer immediately, it was just that they were used to using spears when they were charging, hence it was inconvenient for them to shoot arrows. Since the cavalry of Youzhou has let the Arrows lead the way, then I will let you guys have a taste of the West Cold's might.
The West Cold Cavalry jumped off their horses, and stabbed the tip of their thick and long spears deep into the soil, forming a 30-degree angle. The sharp tip of the spears was pointed right at the direction cavalry of Youzhou was heading towards. The soldiers in the last row stretched out their right legs and used their strength to press against the end of the iron spears of their comrades in the front row to prevent the spears from jumping up when they were hit.
When the Han Dynasty led Li Guang to the north, it was also to fight against the Huns, and not to fight against the Hun cavalry head on. With this set up, a war horse that could block the charge of the cavalry, no matter how fast it was, would fall at the bottom of the spear. With the archer behind them, he would be able to effectively kill the cavalrymen.
”Stop the attack!” Seeing Li Que open the Long Spear Array, Yang Lin immediately gave the order. Although it was impossible for Li Que's Long Spear Array to stop the powerful impact of the cavalry of Youzhou, and it was possible for Li Que to easily crush all the rows and rows of Lance Soldier, her own side would still suffer heavy casualties.
Yang Lin looked around. Although the fog was still very thick, he could clearly feel that the two groups of riders that had just passed through the battlefield were gathering. It was very likely that they would attack from behind soon.
With regards to the topography here, she was relatively familiar with it, and knew that Li Que was taking the main road to the north. Now that Li Que had released the Long Spear Array, he could only avoid Li Que and break out from the northeast. Because the northwest direction was the hill area, which was not good for the cavalry.
Yang Lin called Taishi Ci over, and ordered him to take a detour to the northeast direction to break out of the siege. Unexpectedly, Taishi Ci became anxious after hearing that, and immediately said: ”Lord General, now that Li Que is at the front and the cavalry is behind, if we go around, and they pounce on us at the same time, how will we deal with them?”
”Continue attacking and advancing. I'll block them off, but they won't dare to catch up.” In order to encourage Taishi Ci, Yang Lin even laughed and said proudly, ”Haha … If Li Que dares to chase after us, I will make him never dare to mention cavalry of Youzhou again in this lifetime. ”
Taishi Ci couldn't help but be taken aback. He didn't know why Yang Lin was so confident. Although Li Que had just lost some cavalrymen, she still had two ten thousand people s, which was several times stronger than them. If they wanted to chase after him, wouldn't that be easy?
He looked at Yang Lin, but did not find the slightest trace of fear on his face. Even the janissaries beside Yang Lin had become calm and collected. He could not help but nod his head as he said, ”As you wish!” before turning his horse and running to the front.
”Brothers, follow me …” Taishi Ci bellowed, bringing his cavalry to rush towards Li Que's Long Spear Array. As they charged forward and shot arrows at the same time, Arrows rained down on West Cold Cavalry's head. A large portion of the Xiliang soldier in the first few rows were instantly shot down.
Just then, the Arrows s of the West Cold also began to display its might. Although their arrows were not as strong as the arrows of the cavalry of Youzhou, once they reached their range, their lethality was as astonishing as the others. In the charge, the cavalry of Youzhou still had people falling to the ground.
The cavalry of Youzhou continued to rush forward, and all of the Xiliang soldier s held their breaths, waiting for the instant cavalry of Youzhou made contact. Both of their hands were tightly holding onto the pike in their hands, and at the same time, most of them had their eyes closed. Although they had the courage to die, they truly didn't have the courage to accept the tragic moment of collision between the two sides. At this time, closing your eyes was the best choice.
However, Taishi Ci disappointed them, the cavalry of Youzhou did not rush forward, but suddenly turned and turned, charging towards the east. cavalry of Youzhou on the horse turned her body, and at the same time, shot a ferocious Arrows towards Xiliang soldier's Long Spear Array.
The cavalry of Youzhou turned east at high speed, but the dust they brought did not have time to turn, so they poured all of them in front of Xiliang soldier, covering the Xiliang soldier in dust. The dust and mist covered Xiliang soldier's eyes. They were at a loss as to what to do, and stood there dumbly.
Li Que was still waiting for the moment cavalry of Youzhou crashed into him. He was even anxious to see the blood and flower dancing in the sky to console his injured spirit. Who would have thought that cavalry of Youzhou would turn around right before the battle and quickly leave the battlefield. He angrily shouted: ”Chase after him! ”Everyone, mount! Chase after them!”
Under Li Que's urging, all of the cavalrymen under his command quickly gathered together and chased after Yang Lin. Although she said that the poor bandits were in a hurry to chase him, Li Que's eyes revealed a sinister smile. This was because he knew that Guo Si's cavalry was waiting in the northeast. This time, even if Yang Lin had wings, it would be difficult for him to escape their pincer attack.
did not expect that Yang Lin's riders would actually not flee in panic, but would be running at a steady pace in front of them, as if teasing him. Li Que couldn't help but sneer in her heart as she followed from a distance, waiting for the final blow.
