Chapter 3 will be later.
More than 50 fine horsemen in one standard, strong soldiers and strong horses, galloping to the north.
This cavalry is equipped with the most sophisticated standard war knife in the Liyang Imperial Court, only from the tight white scene that reveals the quiver, you can see the elite degree of this cavalry, the arrow feathers of the horse bow are all hard and dense carved feathers, the soldiers are recognized as carved feathers, can provide more excellent wind resistance for the arrows, so it is more accurate, and at the same time in order to make up for the loss of range, the strength of the archer is required to be greater, and the non-military soldiers are not allowed to hold the carved feather bow.
Today's bow horse is the most familiar with several Liyang border cavalry, the North Liang heavy crossbow light bow, and the two Liao and Jibei are the bow and crossbow mixed and used, which is known for the abundance of archers in the Jibei cavalry, is the bow is far more than the crossbow, this to the north fast advance scout cavalry is the division of the north of the Ji army, half of the cavalry are born outside the north of Jizhou, in Jizhou for more than ten years as the emperor of the general Yang Shenxing has always been biased towards the infantry army, resulting in a large number of this group of good bow shooting cavalry, the relationship has left their hometowns, In the military ranks in the hinterland of the Central Plains, he sought an official and a half-position.
The leader of this scout is the northland athlete who was born in the north of thistle, he was still a teenager when he left the border with his father, he is now accustomed to the customs of Qingzhou, because his father was a captain in the Qingzhou army when he retired from the army, so he has not lacked wine and delicacies for so many years, rouge beauty, but compared to the native Qingzhou soldiers, there is a father who never forgets the smoke of the battlefield and keeps an eye on it, so he has practiced a good riding martial arts, the last time the Qingzhou cavalry rushed to the battlefield, and suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, Because his father was seriously ill, he had to stay by his side as the only seedling in the family, and he was able to escape the catastrophe, this time he sent troops out of the country, and the leader of the army was a close friend of his father who called him a brother and brother, and he was quite important to him, so he specially asked him to pull up a group of elites who were good at riding and archery, and called him to the big tent last night, telling him that the veritable exploration horse should not leave the army too far, once he met the scouts of the Beiliang cavalry, he must not be entangled, and he must retreat with his whole body, even at the end of the conversation, The main general also revealed the meaning of allowing him to leave with his troops after the two armies fought, which made him want to climb to the main general in the army while grateful, but also disgruntled, the advancement of local warriors is already difficult, can only be done step by step, especially after reaching the height of the captain, it is necessary to compete for the family background, with his family background, if there is no accident, after more than ten or twenty years, he will rely on water grinding work, and then like his father, he will be a captain with military power in Qingzhou like his father.
Only the kind of actual combat skills that can be presented on the table of the yamen bigwigs of the Ministry of War can break the threshold and rules, as for whether the military merit comes from the head of the Northern Mangmang barbarian, or the head of the Northern Liang barbarian, he doesn't care.
The snow has long since melted, and the fields in early spring are full of greenery, and there are some wild flowers on the side of the road that cannot be named, clusters and clusters, nestled against each other, and have pulled out fresh yellow buds, swaying in the warm spring breeze, looking at it, soft and serene.
It doesn't feel like a battlefield at all.
The horse's hooves trampled on the soft ground, like a man patting his lover's soft skin with his palm, just like Qingqi'er in the Qinglou fat powder pile beating on the red tooth jade board.
If it is a few months later, when the rape flowers bloom, the ridges will spread, and the yellow scenery will fill people's vision.
According to the previous spy report, their own army still has about a day and a half to advance before it will officially enter the dangerous area of the Beiliang scouts, but at that time, their Qingzhou army can also join the Jinggi elite of Xu Shilang of the military department, and there are 10,000 Ji northern cavalry of General Yuan as the main mobile force to involve the Beiliang army, anyway, as long as they arrive at the location on time to settle in and cooperate with Xu Shilang to assist in defense, the Qingzhou army, which is less than 500 cavalry, is unlikely to become the main enemy of the Beiliang cavalry during this period.
However, the 20,000 Shu soldiers led by a little doll are more likely to suffer the impact of the Northern Liang cavalry.
But at this pleasant moment when the warm breeze was drunk, the body of the leading standard commander suddenly tensed, and he said in a deep voice: "There is an enemy situation in the northwest direction, six hundred steps."
After being reminded by the marker, the riders appeared at the end of their field of vision, and a few motionless black dots could be vaguely seen, and if you look at it roughly, you can glimpse it.
The pupils of the standard chief's eyes are dilated, nervous and excited, different from his father who fought an old battle on the northern border line of Ji, although he won the nickname of "Out of the Forest Tiger" in the ring in the army with his outstanding martial arts, and even now even his father is not his opponent, but his father often reminds him that fighting on the battlefield is not as good as the people who fight in the army on weekdays, and it is not a group of martial artists in the rivers and lakes who are friendly to fight, often life and death are a line between life, originally he was not very careful, but this time he went out with the army, his father actually let him wear armor and hold a knife, And his father himself also put on the old chain mail that was smuggled out of the Jibei Army in the early years, in the home school martial arts field, father and son duel, when the father who he mistakenly thought was a toothless "old" tiger, after blinking, he slashed at his shoulder with a knife, and also put the knife on his neck, only need to increase the force to cut off his head, at that moment he really understood what his father's so-called injury for death, what it means.
Afterwards, he bandaged his father's wounds, and his father told him earnestly that a veteran of the border army with a low background like his father could survive to this day by only one thing, and that was luck.
I don't know how many disciples of the family who pride themselves on their beautiful fancy in the army are incomplete when they fall into battle for the first time.
The standard deputy of this team of scouts followed quickly, and his voice trembled slightly, "Jiang Biaochang, how can you say whether to fight or not?"
The standard commander exhaled, squinted his eyes and said: "To be honest, the above means that we are not allowed to start a war without authorization, even if we serve those four or five horsemen of the Northern Liang Barbarian, it may not be pleasant." ” Because the Qingzhou Tanma who ran forward did not have the order of the commander, he neither launched a charge to pursue, nor did he stop his horse, so he got closer to the little Beiliang scout little by little.
Probably infected by the standard chief's calm and relaxed, the originally nervous standard deputy also began to calm down, although it is facing the Liangzhou crossbowman who is known as the first scout in the world, but he can be a full standard fifty-one riding horses, almost all of them are the top elite in the Qingzhou army, before the standard deputy also complained that he was a horse explorer, and the top strictly ordered that he must use a standard system to "mighty" to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, which is really not like words, but on the one hand, as an imaginary enemy, the Beiliang cavalry army has to guard against several large armies, After all, this is not the territory of those barbarians, and I believe that the Beiliang crossbowmen dare not go too deep into the hinterland, so since they can't really take on the responsibility of exploring horses, it doesn't matter whether they wield the maximum effect of this scout.
Now it seems that by mistake, the over-cautiousness of the top has become their luck.
Four or five enemy heads, apportioned, is also a lot of credit, especially the other party is still shouting that the invincible Beiliang Iron Cavalry in the world for 20 years, I believe that no matter how the top picks the door, it is always time to let the three people, including him, move up one or two positions.
So the standard deputy looked at the three hundred and fifty steps away with a hideous face, and for some reason the number of riders still didn't move, could it be that they were stupid, but they could already see each other clearly.
After confirming that the enemy was only a few horsemen, and there were no other enemy troops lurking nearby, he couldn't help but grin: "Jiang Biaochang, there are a total of five heads of the Beiliang barbarians, although it is not enough for us to stuff our teeth, but the mosquito legs are also meat, three belong to you, and one for me and Lao He is enough."
The standard commander shook his head and said: "This is a good start, and the greater contribution to the war must be there, I don't lack this for the time being, and I'm still young, but Lao Song, you are different from Lao He, if you don't get enough military merits in the north this time, you can only retreat from the position of poor lieutenant, if you don't complain about anything, I will fight for you, so one of you can't run away this time, and the other three will be distributed to the brothers." ” The standard deputy who is almost forty years old hugged his fist and said: "Lao Song is not hypocritical, he must remember it in his heart" The two scouts were about three hundred paces apart.
Face the music.
But just as the commander of the Qingzhou Tanma Biao ordered the bow, the Wu Beiliang scout actually began to turn the horse's head and began to retreat, not in a hurry, and with ease.
If it weren't for the many times he drank and misbehaved, and he would have been a serious lieutenant would have been a good official, then he would have been regarded as an official and got a good product, otherwise no matter how brave and good you are, don't want to let those civil officials look at it squarely in the Qingzhou officialdom.
So in this contact battle, Lao He is more red than Jiang Biaochang and his peers Lao Song, and he can't wait for the war horse under his crotch to give birth to four legs, although Lao He is no longer young, but he is old and strong, and his arm strength is still amazing, that bow is a rare 300-pound strong bow in the Qingzhou army, and ordinary archers shooting twenty times in a row on the battlefield is already the double limit of arms and longbows, but Lao He's exaggerated arm strength and the high-quality big bow built by the old Shu craftsmen are enough to support Lao He to shoot thirty in a row and have more than enough strength.
The active retreat of the Beiliang crossbowmen made this Qingzhou Tanma bold.
Lao He clamped the horse's belly vigorously and roared angrily: "Kill the enemy" The five cavalry Beiliang scouts did not see how in a hurry, but no matter how the Qingzhou Tanma drove the war horses forward, the distance between the two sides was always about one hundred and fifty paces, far beyond the range of the horse bow.
I don't know who was the first to shout "kill the barbarians" in Qingzhou, and soon the shouts similar to "kill the Beiliang barbarians" came and went in the horse team.
The five Liangzhou crossbowmen turned their heads almost simultaneously.
Jiang Biaochang was a little inexplicably uneasy.
The next scene quickly made the commander who had been mounted on the border both worried and relieved, worried that the battle was about to be touched, and that the enemy, who was already at an absolute disadvantage in strength, rode away, leaving only four horsemen to hinder his own pursuit.
The four Liangzhou crossbowmen began to turn their horses back.
The range of the horse bow is not as good as the foot bow, it is a sure fact, in the Qingzhou army is not equipped with light crossbows, but the number is not much, the hinterland of the Central Plains with more than ten years of singing and dancing, there is a Qingdang who is famous for holding together and the opposition to control the military and government of Jing'an Dao, and Wen Taiyi and others speak in the court, Jing'an Dao, especially Qingzhou and Xiangfancheng, have always been comfortable, and the outside forces do not enter the oil and salt, and Qingzhou is generally a comfortable time to enjoy happiness behind closed doors.
In the eyes of the Qingzhou cavalry who have been exposed to light crossbows, of course that thing is not bad, it is a valuable good thing, but it is too rare, and it is troublesome to maintain, and only in terms of range, it is inferior to the horse bow.
Then the Biaoqingzhou Tanma pulled his bow when he was about a hundred paces apart, and was shocked to see that the four horsemen were raising their arms and raising their crossbows at about the same time as them In fact, if the horse bow at this distance is shot immediately, the accuracy is already quite reluctant, if you want to break the armor and injure the enemy, it is even more difficult, unless you shoot the face of the enemy who is enough to kill, the effect is very small, so it has always been the military discipline of the Qingzhou cavalry to open the bow at about seventy steps.
The first in the horse to explore the strength of the standard deputy Lao He became the first strong man to shoot arrows.
Eighty-five steps on both sides, Lao He, who held his bow like a full moon, and an arrow slammed into the air and quickly broke through the air, which was completely contrary to common sense, which showed the terrifying strength of this scout deputy.
The Liangzhou crossbowman subconsciously bent over his shoulders, and the carved arrow that originally shot through his chest was almost brushed against his iron armor.
Lao He, who was full of confidence, was shocked.
Eighty paces, the four cavalry of Beiliang not only raised their arms and crossbows, but also began to shoot the enemy cavalry.
With a dull pop, a Qingzhou probe horse who was drawing a bow and gathering momentum suddenly fell backwards, and a crossbow arrow was nailed into his forehead, piercing his head.

A young probe horse, who was too nervous to shoot a soft arrow, saw a black spot the size of a grain of rice suddenly appear in front of him, and the next moment he was shot through the throat, he discarded the bow, put his hands around his neck, and fell to the horse's back.
Jiang Biaochang tilted his head slightly, and a Beiliang arrow smeared a blood groove on his cheek, but the leader of the Qingzhou cavalry did not tremble in the slightest, and slammed.
In the distance, even if the Beiliang barbarian made a dodge gesture, his entire shoulder was still nailed into the flesh and bone by his broken armor.
Qingzhou Standard Deputy Lao Song not only dodged the crossbow arrow, but the first feather arrow was also extremely accurate, but he was just dodged by the Beiliang rider who was facing him and bent down on the back of the horse.
Whether it is the Liangzhou crossbowman who has an arrow in his shoulder, the one who bends down to avoid the arrow, and the two horses who have already killed, when the three leaders of Qingzhou Tanma shoot the second arrow, they also start to shoot crossbow arrows when other Qingzhou horsemen take arrows and draw bows.
None of the four cavalry continued to target Jiang Biaochang's two pairs, so soon the four Qingzhou cavalry soldiers fell off their horses, without exception, their faces and throats, which were enough to kill.
However, the vast majority of Qingzhou Tanma, who were already panicked, not only failed to meet the standard, but also the opponent's Northern Liang barbarians were obviously extremely good at dodging, so that except for the archer Lao He, who shot a Liangzhou scout off the horse, he didn't even succeed in killing the enemy with the two arrows of the standard and the standard Lao Song.
Jiang Biaochang's arrow can be called exquisite, not only did he deliberately seek the death of an arrow, but even gave up shooting people, but directly chose to shoot the head of the war horse first, but the Northern Liang barbarian who rode like a soldier, the riding skills were superb to an astonishing extent, just slightly pulled the reins of the horse, and the Liangzhou war horse that had a good heart with the owner deflected the horse's head, which caused the arrow to only cut off a large piece of meat on the thigh of the commander, and did not damage the combat power in a short time.
Jiang Biaochang couldn't care about the combat power of the enemy cavalry, and roared angrily: "If you are not sure, shoot the horse."
He knew that after entering forty steps, he was destined to be the most powerful and final arrow on his side.
Not only the three horses of Beiliang who remained on horseback, but also the horseman who rolled to the ground to unload the momentum after falling from the horse, also followed by the three robes, and he shot the third crossbow arrow in a position of kneeling on one knee.
The standard deputy Lao He was red-eyed, the muscles of his arms were bulging, he pulled his bow vigorously, and shouted: "Barbarian to die" But a scene that made all Qingzhou Tanma feel awkward and suffocating was born, except for the Beiliang barbarian who was injured and fell from his horse, the rest of the three horsemen with crossbows shot crossbow arrows, without any action from the owner, the war horses tacitly changed the charging route slightly, and the seemingly negligible line of separation was from death to life.
This scene taught Jiang Biaochang two things.
What is the border veteran, what is Liangzhou Malaysia.
All the Qingzhou Tanma who had already put down their horse bows didn't have time to think about it, so they subconsciously shouted out the word "kill" in unison, drew their war knives, and galloped wildly.
The Liangzhou scout, who had one more round of arrows than the Qingzhou horse bow, also began to draw his sword silently and continued to rush forward.
Three horsemen, against forty-one horses, the two sides with a huge disparity in strength, one tried his best to roar and the other was unusually silent, and they just bumped into each other.
Jiang Biaochang and Deputy Song are almost equal to joining forces, but they have not been able to completely leave the Beiliang Wu Chief, not the crossbowman's Wu Chang's martial arts are over the two, in fact, if you fight alone, any one of the Qingzhou Biao Chang and Biao Deputy has a greater chance of winning, especially in the dismounted foot battle, Jiang Biaochang is more able to win, but the two expected that when the war horses on both sides reached the limit, the Liangzhou War Horse suddenly increased again, showing a huge explosive power that made the Qingzhou cavalry feel terrifying and unfamiliar, it was this explosive force, So that the commander of the Beiliang army not only dodged two knives, but was only pulled open by the Qingzhou standard in the back, but he was able to continue to chisel forward to cut through the formation of the Qingzhou cavalry, and simply stretched out his arm with a knife, and the head of a Qingzhou cavalry jumped high.
The "two armies" passed by.
Among the three horsemen, only the captain broke out of the formation, one man and one horse, slowed down, turned the horse's head silently and lonely, and prepared for the next round of charge.
After each of the two cavalry slashed and killed three horsemen, they were already killed in battle.
And the first Beiliang wounded soldier who fell from his horse even before he died, he rode on foot, shot a horse with an arrow, killed a horse with a knife, and then was hit in the chest by a Qingzhou war horse and fell in a pool of blood.
Jiang Biaochang, who almost gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at the only remaining Beiliang cavalryman, and glanced at the dying cavalry more than a dozen paces ahead of the horse team.
The Northern Liang Barbarian replaced the fifteen cavalry under Lao Tzu with three horses, a full fifteen horses The extremely annoyed Qingzhou Commander re-drew his bow and aimed the arrow at the Beiliang wounded soldier who was already lying in a pool of blood.
It's just over a dozen steps.
An arrow struck the horseman's head.
On the ground, I saw the carving fluttering.
The Central Plains has more than just the scolding of literati for Beiliang
