Chapter 197 Getting closer, getting closer
At this time, looking around, on the hillside directly behind Li Shoucheng, there was a team of fully armed cavalrymen rushing down the hillside!
Li Shoucheng naturally felt the rumbling sound of horse hooves hitting the ground behind him.
He turned his head suddenly and looked, his pupils kept shrinking!
At the same time, a captain beside Li Shoucheng saw this and couldn't help but ask curiously: "General, are these our reinforcements?"
In fact, at this moment, Li Shoucheng also had such a doubt in his mind.
However, he felt very strange.
After all, he hadn't received any news about reinforcements.
At the same time, Li Shoucheng also discovered that the style of the cavalry armor in front of him looked very familiar to him.
It can be said that it is about 70% similar to what the elite soldiers around Li Shoucheng wear.
Obviously, they were all designed and built by the Li family.
However, Li Shoucheng also discovered that this group of people were equipped with better equipment than Li Shoucheng!
But the other party was rushing down the hillside without slowing down at all. Seeing this trend, it didn't seem like they were one of us.
Instinctively alert, Li Shoucheng immediately shouted: "No, they are not reinforcements!"
"Everyone, turn your formation around and prepare for the attack!"
Although this group of cavalry, numbering about 500 people, was well-equipped and had good horse-riding skills.
But Li Shoucheng did not take them seriously.
After all, there are only 500 people, and Li Shoucheng is far superior to them in terms of numbers!
close!
close!
When the two sides are less than three hundred steps apart, Li Shoucheng can issue an order!
"Archers, get ready! Once they're within 200 steps, you can shoot!"
However, just as Li Shoucheng finished speaking, the 500 cavalrymen who were running at full speed in front of him suddenly took out a crossbow from their backs in an orderly manner!
Suddenly, Li Shoucheng's ears heard the sounds of "Tengchi!" "Tengchi!" when the crossbows were fired in unison!
In an instant, Li Shoucheng looked up and saw a black mass of arrows drawing a high parabola in the air!
Then it poured down like a rainstorm!
Facing the rain of arrows, Li Shoucheng was stunned!
When he came to his senses, he heard shrill screams coming from around him!
He saw with his own eyes that the captain not far away from him was pierced through the thigh by an arrow!
The force of the arrow pierced the captain's thigh, and the end of the arrow pierced the horse's back, pinning the captain's entire leg to the horse's back!
Li Shoucheng reacted immediately and shouted, "Five hundred stone-breaking crossbows!?"
Li Shoucheng had only heard the prefect of Yong'an County mention before that a hundred years ago, the patriarch of the Li family used his great connections to buy a batch of weapons manufacturing drawings from the Mohist school.
Among them, there is an extremely powerful "Five Hundred Stone-Breaking Crossbow".
This crossbow is not large in size and can be carried on the back.
But the manufacturing technology is extremely sophisticated!
It can fire a powerful crossbow arrow that can fly five hundred steps in a short period of time!
However, this crossbow has a fatal flaw, which is that it can only fire one shot in a short period of time!
If you want to load the crossbow with the second arrow, you must pull the crossbow string with your feet.
Therefore, if two armies were facing each other, only one shot could be fired at most.
But its advantages are also obvious. If it is shot within a range of less than 500 steps, its force will be extremely swift, and often one arrow can kill a person!
Li Shoucheng turned his head and saw that many soldiers around him had their bodies pierced by arrows. It was good enough that they could scream, which meant they were still alive.
Those who fell directly to the ground were already dead!
The other side did not give Li Shoucheng and his men any chance to react. Just as Li Shoucheng's soldiers were screaming, the other side was already right in front of them!
I saw them all holding spears and rushing forward with an unstoppable momentum!
The people on Li Shoucheng's side were already frightened by the enemy's first wave of arrows, and they retreated one after another when faced with such an aggressive enemy.
Some have even become accustomed to avoiding it.
They served as soldiers in Yong'an County. Although they killed people, they were all unarmed civilians; they were not seeking to defend their country, but gold and silver!
escape!
Run away!
This was the first reaction of Li Shoucheng's men.
However, those who turned around and fled would often only run ten or so steps before their bodies were pierced through by the steel spears of the charging cavalry!
These people rushed past without any hesitation, leaving only broken limbs and corpses on the ground, and then rolled towards Han Zhuo in a cloud of dust!
Among the herd of horses, there suddenly appeared a pure black horse.
Running incredibly fast!
It looks more muscular than the average tall warhorse, with a body full of tendons!
The fur on its body even reflects a black glow under the sunlight.
Running in the workshop, hair flying wildly in the wind!
At the same time, if someone has a better vision, they will find that there is a black Fang Tian Hua Ji pinned on the saddle of this black horse!
Hei Nuo stepped on the dust and rushed directly to Han Zhuo.
Han Zhuo jumped lightly and landed on Hei Nuo's saddle before she stopped.
Han Zhuo then drew out the Shengui Fangtian Huaji tied to the saddle and walked towards Li Shoucheng step by step.
After making a big turn on the flat ground, the five hundred cavalrymen came behind Han Zhuo!
At this time, Xiao Ran rode his horse to Han Zhuo's side and handed him a black iron mask.
Han Zhuo took it and put it on his face.
Li Shoucheng watched Han Zhuo riding a black horse, holding a black divine ghost Fang Tian painted halberd.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Although he was intimidated by Han Zhuo's momentum, as the commander, he knew that he could not lose in momentum.
At that moment, he snorted coldly and shouted to his men around him: "Don't just stand there, cheer up!"
"It's just five hundred people, isn't it? They just used the force of rushing down the hillside just now, and we couldn't defend ourselves."
"And now they have no crossbows in their hands. We are so many in number, how can we be afraid of them?"
"Archers, prepare! Spearmen, move forward!"
"Find the position of the sword and shield soldiers. We must not allow them to break through the defense line!"
While Li Shoucheng was still shouting, the black girl Han Zhuo was sitting on was riding a horse with faster and faster hooves.
"Click."
"Click."
"Click."
Hei Nuo started running!
Behind him, five hundred cavalrymen followed Han Zhuo, forming a cone shape and rushing towards the phalanx where Li Shoucheng was!
When only about 100 steps remained between the two sides, Li Shoucheng immediately shouted, "Gun formation!"
The hundreds of spearmen in front immediately raised one end of their spears, stuck the other end into the ground, and stepped on the end of the spear with their feet.
The spearmen under Li Shoucheng all wield spears that are eight feet long!
Once they were fixed on the ground and formed a spear array, if the cavalry charged forward, the horses and the riders on them would be pierced through by the spears on their backs!
