Chapter 303 Why Doesn't He Die

Unlike the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry who wears heavy armor and carry large shields at any time and anywhere, Yueqi is more like a light cavalry. In addition to officers above the garrison commander level, most of the soldiers of Yueqi are wearing leather armor like Hu cavalry, with soft bows and long arrows. Some who are better at throwing javelins will also carry several additional spears, which are small javelins with a length of one meter and weigh about one pound. When they encounter those canned iron cans that cannot be shot in the horse bow, they will give them one within 20 to 30 meters, which will have a great effect.

However, leather armor is still a bit different from leather armor. The Hu people's leather armor is to simply process the leather and then stack it layer by layer to the thickness that can prevent the bow and arrow from hitting directly. This leather armor is not of good quality, and it will be smelly after wearing it for a period of time. Its defense ability is also limited. The arrow shot by the bow with a higher pound cannot withstand it. The leather armor equipped by Yueqi must go through more than a dozen processes such as nitride, kneading, compression molding, etc., and fold the best leather into pieces, and then connect it in series with small pieces.

Get up... Yes, it's like Terracotta Warriors. Not only that, after the compression molding is completed, a thick layer of paint must be applied on it to prevent insects and moisture, so that the whole pair of leather armor has a longer service life and better defense ability. During the Warring States Period, the Qin army equipped the most this type of leather armor, and it was made of rhinoceros leather. Not only the Qin army, but most of the troops of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were equipped with leather armor, or leather as the main body, with hardwood armor in the middle. Xijia mentioned in "Fuck Wu Gexi and Rhinoceros armor" is this thing.

As for the defense ability of this leather armor...

Interested readers can try using a knife to tie the heels of leather shoes... Yes, the defense ability of the leather armor made in this way is similar to that of modern leather shoes, but it is thinner than the shoe root. The thickness of the key protective parts is fourteen mm, and the thickness of the non-key protective parts is only six to eight mm.

This thickness is enough to withstand the direct hits of many crossbows. During the Warring States Period, the Qin army wore this thick leather armor and fought repeatedly against the rain of arrows shot from the powerful crossbows of the Six Kingdoms army. Repeatedly, the powerful troops collapsed, and fought over famous generals. You like to play with crossbows, right? Okay, my Qin Dynasty's crossbow skills are indeed not as good as you. I can't play with this, but I can kill you by the Pig Crush!

As for melee weapons, most yueqi choose ring-headed swords or scimitars. In order to avoid the embarrassing scenes that they can't cope with in heavy iron armor, they will carry a war hammer with them. When they encounter those iron turtles, they will pull them out and give him a hard blow, which will make the effect awesome. However, this thing is quite heavy, and a single stirrup is not easy to exert force, and it takes a long time of hard training to use it freely, so it is usually rarely used.

Now, the two thousand Yue cavalry were like a tide rolling up on the flat ground, and with the exquisite equipment of Yaya fork, rushed towards the Jiehu cavalry who was rushing to get on the horse or riding a horse to set off the formation. Instead, they spread their wings and circled around the Jiehu cavalry, and shot sharp arrows at the Jiehu cavalry who were wrapped in the middle with a horse bow while spinning. Some of the superb Yue cavalry knights even rushed directly to a place only ten or twenty meters away from Jiehu, throwing spears at the Jiehu officers and generals who were clearly dressed and very sexy, almost all of them missed. For a moment, the Jiehu cavalry people were tilted over the horse, and Li Rui felt a little distressed... His grandmother, how many good horses were there, and the fierce Yue cavalry lost it!

Li Rui was still in the mood to feel sorry for his horse, but the thousands of Jiehu cavalry who were being beaten by Yueqi were completely indifferent to the life and death of their war horses. They were in a mess. Some people were holding the roaring rain of arrows and throwing spears to pull the bow and shoot arrows to try to suppress Yueqi's firepower. Some people used a small round shield to cover their bodies and rushed out with the arrows, while others shrank in the middle... As a result, they squeezed into a ball, those who wanted to rush up could not rush, those who wanted to retreat could not retreat, but only had superb riding skills and extraordinary martial arts but could not use them. They could only be beaten passively!

Yang Xiu saw it clearly behind him and shouted excitedly: "Beigong Jing, we will surround these damn miscellaneous people! We will win!"

Beigong Jing was extremely calm: "Win? It's still far from it. These Hu people are not so easy to deal with."

Of course it's not that easy to deal with.

Wang Yang saw the Jin army's Yue cavalry surrounded by all sides, with sharp arrows as dense as slanting rain, and his troops were in a mess. He was killed and injured by the rain of arrows and javelins. He knew that if the encirclement could not be broken as soon as possible, these thousands of cavalry who had followed Shi Le horses to step on the Central Plains, would probably all be broken here. He roared: "The front row was dismounted and shot from the line! The front row was dismounted and shot from the line!"

The Jiehu cavalry instinctively obeyed his orders, and got off the horse and lined the formation one after another, and shot at the flying Jin army's Yueqin with a rain of arrows flying by. Some of the anxious guys stopped shooting arrows and threw the short-handed axes, hammers, javelins and other weapons in their hands towards the Jin army's Yueqin. Not to mention, after getting off the horse and lined the formation, their firepower density increased exponentially. Although the Jin army shot many of them, they continued to suffer casualties. The arrows shot by the Jiehu cavalry were insufficient and threatened.

They are not very good at nature, but those hammers, flying axes, javelins, etc. that are thrown over the head and face are killed when they are next to each other, and injured when they are rubbed! As a last resort, the Yueqi could only stretch the distance a little, and prepare to continue to use arrow rain to consume the Jiehu cavalry through thirty or fifty meters. They are not afraid of shooting against the Jiehu cavalry, because most of the Jiehu cavalry use horse bows with relatively low pounds. It is not easy to shoot through the thick leather armor of their bodies after thirty or fifty meters. So what about step shooting? The lethality of bows and arrows is not good, so we will beat you up!

However, just as the Yueqin adjusted the distance, Wang Yang led three hundred cavalry in iron armor to rush out and rushed straight towards Yueqin in the rain of arrows! Because the two sides were very close, the three hundred iron armored cavalry rushed into the middle of Yueqin almost in the blink of an eye. Yueqin was only concerned about shooting arrows or throwing javelins, and was not careful that Jie Hu actually gave them this move, which was in a hurry. Wang Yang took the three hundred iron armored cavalry to slash and kill, forcing Yueqin to retreat continuously, and the originally tight encirclement was immediately torn a big hole. Now Wang Yang didn't need to give orders. Jie Hu cavalry, who were shot very hard, got on the horse one after another, drew out a scimitar and rushed towards Yueqin, and started close-killing fight with Yueqin, like a crazy tiger!

Yang Xiu exclaimed: "Hey, these miscellaneous begs are about to run away! Why are they so fierce? They are surrounded and ejaculated and can they forcefully organize a breakthrough?"

Beigong Jing said: "I said that these Hu cavalry are not that easy to deal with."

In just a few words, the Jiehu cavalry tore a big hole in the surrounding area of ​​Yue cavalry, and used Wang Yang's three hundred iron armored cavalry as sharp swords to flee towards the woods on the left wing.

The woods are not an ideal battlefield for cavalry. The trees and branches everywhere are huge obstacles, limiting the performance of cavalry. Generally speaking, cavalry is not willing to pull the battlefield to the woods. But now they have no choice. The Jin army's Yueqi is quickly adjusting its formation and is about to encircle them. In their current state, once they are entangled by Yueqi, what is waiting for them is a massacre. They can only drill into the woods first, get rid of Yueqi's attack and then find a way.

Beigong Jing turned his head and said to a Black Hawk Iron Man beside him: "Send a signal!"

The Black Hawk swordsman pulled out his strong bow, and with a whoosh, a rocket rose up from the ground and drew a thin fire snake in the air, which was quite spectacular.

Shi Le, who was being hugged by the Jiehu cavalry, looked up suddenly and saw the rocket, and a ominous premonition suddenly emerged in his heart. The next moment, the sound of horse hooves in the woods shook the earth, and a large group of Jin cavalry roared out of the woods, without fear of the three hundred iron cans led by the Jiehu cavalry, rushed into the middle of the Jiehu cavalry and chopped wildly. With just one encounter, the panicked Jiehu cavalry was killed and overturned!

Shi Le shouted: "There is an ambush in the woods! Don't enter the woods, retreat quickly!"

Not to mention, the flags waving, the sound of trumpets and drums in the woods were deafening. At a glance, you knew that the vanguard was the vanguard, and the large army was waiting for them inside. Then enter the woods, and that was looking for death. Hurry up and change direction and escape!

As a last resort, the Jiehu cavalry had to turn their horses and flee towards the large area of ​​rolling hills on the left wing. Along the way, the Jin army and Yue cavalry were chasing them, with sharp arrows and javelins flying from all directions, constantly refreshing their casualties. Listening to the screams and curses sounded from all sides, Shi Le almost shattered his teeth. After he defected to Liu Yuan, he led the Jie cavalry to fight in the east and west. He dared not say that he would win every battle, but he had never tried to be beaten so miserably!

Liangzhou Army, Beigong Jing, I remember you! As long as I don’t die, today’s great shame and humiliation will be returned to you twice!

Yang Xiu looked at the Jiehu cavalry and fled to the hills on the left, and shouted in surprise: "Wow, after being attacked on the edge of the woods, they really chose to turn around and flee to the left wing, exactly as you expected! Beigong Jing, you are so smart. I almost thought you were the commander of those Hu cavalry!"

Beigong Jing's cold face showed a rare smile, just like the first ray of morning light after the long dark night, and the first ray of rays of rays after the rainstorm, easily dispelling the gloom and darkness brought by the bloody battle. Even the most desperate person would have the illusion of "this world is still worth nostalgic for" to this smile.

"I was quite surprised that they cooperated so much," he said.
