Chapter 102: Never in vain

Suddenly, in the still quiet north of Yangren County, there were sounds of shouts of death, horse hooves, bowstrings, and various chaotic passwords. The streets and alleys turned into chaos without realizing it.

On the rooftops on both sides of the street, the arrows fired by crossbowmen were like a violent storm. Under the reflection of the moonlight and the light of the bonfires on the street, they intertwined into a vague but deadly arrow net, covering the Xiliang army overwhelmingly.

Before the leading Xiliang cavalrymen had time to react, they suffered the sudden attack. They all fell off their horses, howling in pain, and their bodies fell on the street.

This is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, more Xiliang cavalry rushed into the streets of Yangren County from behind.

The newly charged Xiliang knights were no longer armed with javelins. They were carrying quivers and crossbows. As they ran, they began to fight back against the crossbowmen who had already appeared on the roof.

Arrows were flying up and down the house, and no one was willing to give in.

Before it was over, another bright light appeared outside the county, which was very dazzling.

Another group of Xiliang knights, holding horses in one hand and torches in the other, rushed to the houses in the county, throwing the torches in the corners of the houses, or throwing the torches toward the roofs.

Earthen houses are not easy to ignite, but there are thick piles of hay next to many houses.

This becomes the ignition!

Although the weather was very cold, there were still some houses around which were gradually ignited by torches, and they connected little by little, forming a sea of ​​fire, illuminating the streets of the county town that were dim just now.

Not only the cavalry, Xiliang infantry armed with shields, halberds, and ring-headed swords also rushed into the streets and alleys. They quickly advanced along the two sides of the street to bear more attacks for the Xiliang cavalry.

Huang Zhong put down his iron shield and held the black bow in his hand.

"Sir, we're going to fight back!"

Liu Qi took a deep breath, stood up from the roof, and raised the bow in his hand.



The Xiliang army invaded the streets in large numbers, and the infantrymen of Sun and Liu who were ambushing in the county also showed up and began to engage in a bloody battle with the Xiliang army on the streets.

The streets and alleys that seemed deserted just a moment ago were suddenly crowded with soldiers from the two soldiers, and a hand-to-hand battle began in an instant.

Liu Qi just now didn't quite understand the significance of the enemy letting the Xiliang cavalry enter Yangren City first...

After all, this is not a plain, but a city street. If the cavalry rushes in, will it be a bit of a disadvantage for the cavalry?

Shouldn't the infantry be the vanguard?

But the facts proved that Liu Qi was wrong.

Even if there is not such a huge advantage as on the plains, as long as it is on flat land, the advantage of cavalry still exists. This is an objective and unchanging fact.

The infantry of the Jingzhou Army was commanded by Wenpin, while the infantry of Sun Jian's Army was commanded by Zhu Zhi. On the eight main streets of Beicheng, they fought desperately against the Xiliang soldiers with the help of their houses and the horses that had been set up long ago.

The Jingzhou Army's combat power is weak. The soldiers try not to fight alone. Instead, they rely on Wenpin's command to fight steadily and in groups, which is the most basic fighting unit. They push forward slowly in a group and try not to be left alone.

Give the Xiliang army a chance to seize their weaknesses and annihilate them.

But the fighting style of those fierce soldiers of Sun Jian's army was very different from that of Jingzhou army.

The soldiers of the Sun family army all rushed towards the Xiliang army with their bravery and swords in hand, as if they didn't know what fear was.

Especially the death-defying warriors at the head, who were holding ring-shou knives and slashed forward one after another.

Each of their swords struck at the opponent's vital points. Even if they were hit in the body by the Xiliang infantry's swords, they would never flinch as long as they could continue the fight.

Sun's warriors stepped on the blood-red footprints, moving forward like a human bulldozer, moving forward...

However, during the confrontation between the infantry of the Xiliang Army and the infantry of the Sun Jian Army, in terms of bravery, they actually fell slightly behind.

But Sun Jianjun's warriors also fell into a hard fight against the Xiliang knights.

This is why the first wave of Xiliang knights rushed into the streets.

Because on this battlefield, they are indeed invincible.

"Pah, pah~"

"Boom!"

"Ah~!"

On the streets, Xiliang cavalry galloped back and forth.

As their horses accelerated, they kept hitting Sun Jian's infantry blocking the road. Once they collided, they would directly knock those infantry away.

Some infantry collided with the horses. Even if they were not knocked away, they fell to the ground and could not get up for a while...

The heavy hooves of the war horses that came later trampled on them, trampling them alive and turning their flesh and blood into a ball...

The knights of Xiliang drove their horses and rampaged through the streets. The knights on the horses also waved their horseshoes vigorously. No matter whether the enemy or their own soldiers were blocking them, they just stabbed them at all costs.

While the infantry are dealing with the majestic Liangzhou horses, they must also be careful about the weapons in the hands of the knights on the horses. Those horse spears or long-handled knives are very powerful because of the speed of the horses. As long as they are unfortunate enough to be touched, the weapons will be

The force is strong enough to penetrate the human body.

Even though they are not on the plains, there is no doubt that the Xiliang cavalry's combat effectiveness is still the most powerful in the county.

Thanks to the width of the street, Sun Jianjun and Jingzhou Army were given space to counterattack.

The street is not like a plain. You cannot go left and right, you can only go straight.

Some Xiliang knights were stabbed off their horses by halberds while running in a straight line, or fell on the dirt road because their mounts had their legs cut off, and were then cut into pieces by the enemy troops that swarmed forward...

Blood is like mist, blade is like wind, moon is like hook, human life is like grass.

Through the firelight on the house and the bonfires on the street, Liu Qi saw clearly the life and death struggle in front of him, and how easy it was for a person to go from birth to death.

Just because of a knife, a collision, or an arrow.

After just a moment, the streets within his sight were already covered with corpses, severed limbs, and even fragmented corpses... The Xiliang Army had fewer soldiers, while the Jingzhou and Sun Jian Army had more infantry.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Qi took a deep breath.

He knew that to suppress the Xiliang cavalry, he mainly relied on bows and crossbows.

Sun Jian, Huang Zhong and others led the crossbowmen of the two armies to occupy the commanding heights, facing the enemies of the Xiliang cavalry!

These bow-wielding men who are not in the middle of the battlefield are the key to repelling the Xiliang cavalry.

Liu Qi pulled the bowstring and aimed at a Xiliang cavalry...

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot away with one arrow.

The sharp arrow scratched the face of the Xiliang cavalryman, making a deep gash on his face, splashing a line of blood in the air, and then plunged deeply into the soil.

.

"Ah...!" The cavalryman shouted angrily, turned his horse's head, and glared at Liu Qi in the room.

But because the distance was too far and Liu Qi was condescending and occupied a favorable terrain, he had no way to counterattack Liu Qi.

He glared at Liu Qi fiercely for a while, then galloped away, away from Liu Qi's archery range.

Huang Zhong also shot an arrow, hitting a Xiliang knight on another street opposite the house.

He didn't look at Liu Qi, but he knew that he missed the shot.

It seemed as if it was as expected by Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong shouted loudly: "Shen, enough, even, light, and note are all indispensable! Can't the arrow be perfect? ​​How can we shoot it!"

Liu Qi pondered for two seconds, began to calm down the messy thoughts in his heart, and tried to focus his attention.

The true meaning of archery examination is to concentrate and not be distracted. This is the first key to archery. If you can't even do this, there is no need to talk about the following four points.

On weekdays, under Huang Zhong's guidance, he did pretty well. Although his archery skills could not be said to be able to pierce a tree with a hundred steps, it seemed to be good.

According to Huang Zhong's words, Liu Qi's archery skills are very useful.

However, no matter how hard you practice your archery skills on weekdays, suddenly going to the battlefield in person is a completely different feeling.

Just like a person learning to drive, no matter how proficient he is in driving school, he will still make mistakes due to nervousness when he takes to the road for the first time.

Liu Qi could not help but be distracted by the fierce battle on the street, which caused him to shoot the arrow just now in an extremely hasty manner, without even doing the most basic evaluation of the arrow.

But Liu Qi was not discouraged. He calmed down and took another arrow from the arrow pot.

He came to this battlefield just to surpass himself and train himself.

Failure is normal. If he could have the determination and ability on the battlefield like Huang Zhong and Sun Jian, then he wouldn't need to go out of his way to practice in front of the battle.

This is his shortcoming, he must break through!

Liu Qi took a deep breath, bent his bow and arrow again, and aimed at a Xiliang cavalryman.
