Daqin Engineers

Chapter 219

It was Shi Xiangluo who was leading the two thousand five hundred riders who had crossed the bridge to come for help. Before they had gone far, they saw a crowd of scattered Chu rides retreating in embarrassment.

Xiang Luo only said that these were stragglers who were greedy for life and fear of death, and immediately shouted immediately before the filming:

"Fleeing the battle, kill me!"

Then with a wave, the cavalry behind them raised their crossbow arrows to aim at the deserters.

But the deserter shouted:

"Lieutenant, our army is defeated, and the waiter died in battle!"

Xiang Luo naturally didn't believe it. It was just a stick of incense and a riding battle. How could he be defeated so quickly, so he shouted:

"Stop talking nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless if you don't stop!"

The deserters had to stop one after another and prepared to fight again according to Xiang Luo's request.

However, this is only Xiang Luo's wishful thinking.

Every deserter knew how powerful the black armored cavalry was, and knew that Xiangluo's two thousand five hundred cavalry was also not an opponent of the black armored army.

In fact, it was more than Xiang Luo's two thousand and five hundred riders, or even 10,000 riders against the three thousand black armor.

Therefore, Xiang Luo's order was ordered, and the deserter was forced to stop only by being forced by the crossbow arrows.

But when the Black Armored Army appeared on the other side, the deserters began to riot again.

Xiang Luo still shouted:

"Don't retreat, those who violate the order will be killed!"

This order had power at the beginning, but as the Black Armour got closer and closer, no one paid any attention to it.

I don't know who led the head, the deserters flee from both sides as soon as they pull their horses...This is a very clever way. You can't advance or retreat, so run from both sides.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Luo couldn't help being frustrated.

This is related to the prestige of his captain and the morale of the troops. If this indulgence continues, how will he command the troops in the future?

So he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let the arrows!"

With a burst of "swish", the deserters fell off the horse one by one.

Then Xiang Luo shouted again:

"Open the crossbow, ready to fight!"

However, it was too late at this time. In a blink of an eye, the arrows of the Black Armored Army shot into the Chu Army's formation from the front, and then another batch... only a great chaos caused Chu Qi.

Xiang Luo loudly urged the soldiers to immediately fight the black armour.

In fact, the cavalry of this era is not suitable for close combat. For example, if you wield a sword in your hand, a sword can kill the enemy, but the reaction force can easily cause the rider to lose his balance and fall off the horse. Not to mention the long soldiers of the class.

Among them, the cavalry rushed to each other... When the horses running at high speed met, people would stand up and there was no doubt that the rider would fall under the horse.

Therefore, the battle is either with a crossbow or dismounting.

Xiang Luo at this time seemed a bit irritable, and ordered a close battle with the enemy.

But thinking about it in detail, Xiang Luo's order makes sense.

The first is that Xiang Luo has believed the deserter's words at this time.

I didn't believe it before that the deserters were just a few skirmishers, but when a large number of black armored cavalry appeared on the opposite side, it was not a skirmisher.

If it's just a skirmish and fled back, where is the main force that Zhang Siao leads?

Did it disappear out of thin air or fled to other directions?

So there is only one possibility, and that is, as the deserter said, Zhang's tribe has been defeated by the Black Armored Army, and then the Black Armored Army pursues and kills it all the way.

Xiang Luo faintly felt that this had something to do with the ability of the Black Armour to shoot on horseback.

However, he still felt his scalp numb, and he could defeat Zhang's two thousand five hundred rides in such a short time. Does that mean that his two thousand five hundred rides will have the same result?

If this is the case, you should not fight far away with the Black Armor but should choose close combat.

Even if the melee is dangerous, it is not hesitating, because the Chuqi dangerous black armor is also dangerous.

However, Chu Cavalry has more troops, so it is obvious that Chu Cavalry has the advantage of fighting one by one.

The Chu army on the other side still had five thousand horses, as long as they could fight to five thousand horses to come... then there would be no suspense in this battle.

Xiang Luo's idea is right, and there are opportunities.

Because at this time the Black Armored Army was heading straight towards Chu Qi...This was actually Chen Duan or it could be said that the Black Armored Army made a mistake in using this kind of tactics.

At this time, if Chu Qi also rode his horse to greet him, I was afraid that the Black Armored Army would bump into it head-on before turning around.

Needless to say what would happen, the horses crashed into a mess, and the rider fell off his horse and was trampled by the frightened horse...Although the Black Armor had the ability to ride and shoot, there was no one who could not fall off the horse without being trampled to death by the horse. ability.

As a result, as Xiang Luo expected, both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy losses.

But for Chu Jun, a tie was a win.

From this point of view, Xiang Luo is a shrewd school lieutenant and a qualified commander.

The problem is that there are strong generals as well as elite soldiers.

Although Xiang Luo gave the order, the crowd of Chu Qi were stunned...

If this rushes up, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Is the school lieutenant crazy?

I have more troops than the Qin army, so why use this suicide warfare?

So despite Xiang Luo's constant shouting, the crowd of Chu Qi halted in place, so angry that Xiang Luo yelled but was helpless.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and soon the black armour pulled its head toward the flank.

In desperation, Xiangluo could only shout:

"chase!"

This time Chu Qi finally moved, and a large number of people followed the Black Armor vigorously.

Then, they quickly understood what the condition of Zhang Xi's troops was before.

Unlike Zhang Xiu, Xiang Luo was prepared for this and immediately pulled the troops back when the situation was not right.

The Black Armor naturally chased after him.

However, Xiang Luo managed to pull his troops across the bridge and set up formations at the head of the bridge, which stabilized his position.

This is indeed a good method, because the Black Cavalry rely on maneuvering to maintain contact with the enemy to play the role of riding and shooting.

But if you cross the bridge, you will be besieged by the Chu army, so of course you can't force the attack.

It's just a small number of people in Xiangluo...Two thousand five hundred riders and only one thousand riders left.

Xiang Luo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw the Black Armor rushing to the west again.

Xiang Luo couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly ordered:

"Hurry up and inform Wu Zhan, so that he must not attack. Be sure to guard the bridge head and not let the enemy cross the bridge!"

The messenger responded and went west to report.

In fact, this was Xiang Luo's wrong idea. The Black Armed Forces didn't go to the west to find trouble with the five thousand horses, but the arrows were almost used up in these two battles. They were looking for a carriage to supply arrows.

Wang Ben fought very happily in these two battles, and he said to Chen Duan in awe and fear:

"The school lieutenant is warlike. I waited for one enemy and two but I was able to kill Chu Qi too much, which opened Wang Ben's eyes!"

Chen Duan smiled and said:

"Where is my strategy?"

"If it is not for the lieutenant training, how can I know that riding and shooting have such many benefits?"

Wang Ben couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, almost fell off his jaw... Is this actually Shen Bing's tactic again?!
