Shi Wen Gongchun skillfully controlled the horse with both feet and took out the big feather arrow from the arrow pot on his back.
Shi Wengong drew his bow and nocked an arrow, shouting loudly: "Shoot!"
Following Shi Wengong's order, his subordinates Baiqi released their bow strings almost at the same time.
"Chi" Hundreds of arrows made a wonderful streak in the sky, and then like a rain of arrows, under the inertia, the arrows fell towards the astonished tribal allies with a tearing sound in the air.
It has always been their nomadic tribes who used mounted archery to bring casualties to the Song Army.
They never thought that the Song Army actually had cavalry who knew how to mount and shoot.
The warriors of these tribes were completely unprepared.
By the time they realized that the situation was not good, it was already too late to raise their shields to defend themselves.
"ah" Screams rang out one after another among the tribal allies.
In this round, the Chute tribe suffered more than a dozen casualties.
Without giving the Chute tribe much time to be surprised, the second wave of arrow rain from the Liangshan Cavalry Battalion struck again, falling like rain on a lute, harvesting the lives of the Chute tribe soldiers.
The Chute tribe suffered heavy casualties under the previous artillery attack, with nearly a hundred people killed and injured, and now another twenty or thirty people died.
Originally, there were only more than 700 warriors of the Chute tribe.
Since the fight with this group of Song troops, they have now suffered nearly 300 casualties.
If the opponent continues to shoot like this, all the warriors of the Chute tribe will die.
Chu Te Zhuo Tu died, and now Chu Te Sai's prestige is considered to be the highest.
He knew clearly that if he exposed his back completely to an enemy who knew how to ride and shoot, it would be the same as sending him to death.
What's more, now that they have escaped the killing range of that terrible weapon, Chute shouted loudly, "Chute's soldiers, let these Song dogs see what a real cavalry is.
Stand up and kill them."
Chu Tesai turned his horse's head first and grabbed the pumpkin hammer to kill Shi Wengong who was rushing at the front.
Seeing the enemy turning around to fight, Shi Wengong immediately shouted, "Hold your bow and kill people with your saber."
Bows and arrows are very important and play a key role in suppressing the enemy and boosting morale.
But what really determines the outcome of the battle is the sword and the gun.
Especially the cavalry, who can kill in front of them in an instant.
If you don't have time to resist with a sword or gun, you will be facing a big loss with bare hands.
So when he saw that the enemy had been killed, Shi Wengong immediately ordered his men to stop shooting and put on sabers.
Chutse'er didn't know Shi Wengong at all.
He just saw that the other party seemed to be the leader of this group of cavalry, leading the cavalry to shoot his own people.
Although not as good as Chu Te, Chu Te Sai'e is still quite confident in his own force.
He wanted to smash the enemy general to death and defeat the cavalry.
The enemy archers, while threatening, are just a group of infantry.
As long as your own tribe wants to withdraw, the other party has no way to stop it.
But this group of cavalry is different.
If they suddenly attack when the tribe is migrating on a large scale, they will cause huge casualties to the tribe.
Therefore, even if they are defeated and retreat, they must first deal with this group of cavalry.
Chu Tesai gave a low shout and hit Shi Wengong on the head with a pumpkin hammer.
Seeing the enemy coming, Shi Wengong was not afraid at all.
He quickly put the golden bird-painted carved bow in his hand back into the flying fish bag, and at the same time picked up Zhu Yingzhang's two spears from the victory hook.
"swaddling clothes" After the ear-piercing sound of gold and iron colliding, Chu Tesai was horrified to find that the opponent's Zhu Yingzhang's two shots came first and then, like lightning, he broke through his own Pumpkin Hammer and continued to stimulate.
After being shocked, Chu Tesai reacted quickly, tilted his body to the left quickly, and just used his superb equestrian skills to avoid the fatal blow.
With a soft sound, the two horses passed by each other.
After each galloping for about 20 steps, they stopped.
"Okay, what a fast gun."
They only met each other once, and the opponent's shot that almost stabbed his throat made him frightened.
Chu Tesai knew that he was no match for the man in front of him.

He regretted his bravery and quickly turned his horse's head to escape.
Attack the Liao Kingdom and recapture Yanyun.
My long-cherished wish to practice martial arts for many years finally came true today.
Shi Wengong was very excited, with an excited look on his face.
Seeing that the opponent wanted to escape, Shi Wengong clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward like a whirlwind.
"Now that you're here, leave your life behind."
In order to win over Shi Wengong, the horse he sat on was a silver-maned white horse carefully selected by Shi Jin, with strong horsepower.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Wengong was close to Chu Tesai's forehead, and Zhu Yingzhang's two spears in his hand went straight to Chu Tesai's back at a speed faster than ordinary people.
As Chu Tesai'e ran away, he turned back to pay attention to the situation of the enemy generals behind him.
When he saw the enemy's fast horse and gun attack, he had no time to dodge.
He closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, two warriors from the Chute tribe arrived in time.
They swung their swords and took off only Shi Wengong's head and arms.
Facing the sudden attack by the two enemies, Shi Wengong snorted disdainfully, quickly pulled back the spear in his hand, and quickly drew it out again.
As soon as the two warriors from the Chute tribe approached Shi Wengong, they were greeted by the shadow of guns in the sky.
The shadow of the gun disappeared, and the two warriors from Chu Te's tribe were shot three or four times each, and fell off their horses, spurting blood.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Shi Wengong shouted and continued to chase Chu Tesai.
Chu Tesai'e first saw two more people from the tribe coming to help.
He initially thought about turning around and joining forces with the other two people to attack Shi Wengong.
Now that he saw that none of them were even Shi Wengong's generals, he was so frightened that he couldn't even think of fighting Shi Wengong again.
He kept knocking the horse's belly and sped up his escape.
Shi Wengong killed two enemies, but also slowed down his speed.
At this time, Chute Sai'e had already retreated into the tribal formation.
Although Shi Wengong knew that with his own ability, he could break into the enemy's position and escape safely even if he was single-handed.
However, the cavalry he is leading now has only been established for less than three months.
Although these soldiers have good equestrian skills, they have not yet fully mastered the cavalry tactics and need to command the troops themselves.
Shi Wengong had no choice but to give up the pursuit, reined in his horse and slowed down, waiting for his men to catch up and hunt down the enemy together.
The general will be brave in the army Seeing that Shi Wengong had no generals under his command, he easily killed two of the other party's men, so frightened that the other party could only flee.
Shi Wengong's bravery and the soldiers leading the cavalry battalion brought incomparable confidence and soaring morale.
The cavalrymen under him showed excited and enthusiastic fighting spirit, raised their swords high and roared wildly.
"kill" After Shi Wengong returned to the army, he continued to lead the cavalry and continued to raise his saber to pursue the enemy.
After being under house arrest for nearly a year, he was finally released.
In addition, attacking the Liao Kingdom was his long-cherished wish for many years.
Shi Wengong was as excited as a tiger descending from a mountain.
He led a hundred cavalrymen to continuously inflict casualties on the tribal allies, and chased them for more than 20 miles.
When he saw that the enemies had fled without a trace, he led his troops back.
Shi Wengong was leading the cavalry to pursue the deserters, and saw the last tribal ally disappearing before his eyes.
Looking at the corpses of the local garrison soldiers in the Liao army in front of him, Wang Yin's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said with joy but full of emotion: "We have defeated the Liao soldiers."
Zhu Wu also said excitedly: "Yes, under the leadership of the marshal, we defeated the Liao army with weak casualties.
Although there were not many people participating in this battle, the facts proved that we could defeat the Liao army and that we had the strength."
"Recovering Yanyun" The officers and men of the Liangshan Army were not opposed to attacking the Liao Kingdom, and they were all eager to regain Yanyun and complete the great cause that the Song Dynasty had never succeeded in for a hundred years.
However, the impression of the Liao army's power had already been engraved in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.
Many generals of the Liangshan Army were also worried about whether they could defeat the Liao army.
However, today's head-on battle dispelled their worries and enhanced their confidence in victory.

At this time, the heavy armored soldiers, led by Lu Zhishen, raised their sabers and shouted loudly: "Our Liangshan Army is invincible in every battle.
Liangshan Army is invincible in every battle."
Encouraged by their momentum, the swordsmen and spearmen behind them also began to cheer.
Although the victory of this battle was already established before it was their turn, and they had no room for improvement, they still felt extremely happy.
Seeing the excitement on his men's faces, Shi Jin understood that, like the civil war, the victory brought by the foreign war would make people more excited and proud.
Shi Jin shouted: "The cavalry battalion continues to pursue, and the archers are on guard.
The heavy armored soldiers can take off their armor and rest.
The swordsmen and spearmen are responsible for collecting all the weapons on the battlefield and taking them away.
The enemy's corpses are dug and buried on the spot.
Those who are slightly injured are carried Go back to treat the seriously injured enemy soldiers and send them away to ease their pain."
After hearing the order, Liangshan's army immediately obeyed the order and acted.
This battle started at noon until dusk, when Shi Wengong and others who were pursuing them also came back, marking this perfect fighting spirit.
When Shi Jin gathered his troops and set up camp, all the generals presented their military exploits.
The tribal allies reached less than fifty steps in front of the Liangshan army.
There were more than a thousand naval archers, but many of them had no time to shoot, and the enemies were killed and fled.
What's more, many of the enemy soldiers were holding shields, but the navy only killed a dozen or twenty people.
Liangshan's heavy armored soldiers are very fierce, but their forward speed is ultimately their biggest shortcoming.
The tribal allies were defeated and fled, and no two-legged ones could catch up, let alone those wearing heavy armor.
They killed sixty or seventy people at the beginning.
Lu Zhishen was very unhappy when he heard the post-war data report.
He felt that the Liao soldiers were too ineffective and not interesting enough.
They were not as good as the Western Army.
In this battle, the most lethal force of the Liangshan Army was the artillery battalion, which caused nearly two hundred casualties to the tribal allies.
And the most important thing is that the enemy's morale was severely damaged as soon as the war started, making the enemy basically lose their will to fight and become fearful.
It can be said that this battle completely made the Liangshan Army realize the power of artillery, and they also understood why the marshal attached so much importance to artillery and invested a large amount of gold and silver for Gongsun Sheng, Tang Long, and Ling Zhen to study over the years.
Now many generals are jealous of those artillery pieces and want to include those powerful artillery pieces in their regiments.
However, what disappointed them was that the artillery battalion directly obeyed the orders of Marshal Shi Jin from the beginning.
Let them feel disappointed for a while.
In addition to the artillery battalion, the cavalry battalion that achieved the second greatest success was the cavalry battalion.
Although there were only 500 people, they killed more than 100 people and captured more than 70 prisoners.
Moreover, more than 140 war horses were seized.
In terms of pure merit, it is no worse than the artillery battalion.
According to the statistical reports of each school captain, nearly 410 tribal allies were killed in this battle and 103 were captured.
The Liangshan Army lost less than 15 soldiers in this battle, most of whom were killed by cavalry strikes.
After listening to the battle report, Shi Jin greeted the still excited generals to sit down.
After inspecting the generals present, Shi Jin said: "I am very happy to win today.
These are the contributions of many generals present.
However, we must not be complacent because of this.
We should also keep a clear head and understand ourselves. .
Now the artillery is more powerful.
Everyone has seen that the future king of war belongs to artillery.
But to be honest in today's battle, we have not fully exerted the true power of artillery.
Let's talk about how to reset our army's tactical capabilities with artillery.
Bring out the true power of this artillery."
Ling Zhen, the chief gunner in charge of the artillery battalion, first said: "Marshal, for the sake of safety, we did not fire until the enemy was five hundred steps away, about one mile away, but after today's actual battle, we can clearly see that In fact, this bronze artillery can kill the enemy at a distance of 500 to 900 steps.

I think the next battle can be more bold."
Shi Jin said in agreement: "What General Ling said makes sense.
We were too cautious before.
The power of this bronze cannon exceeded our expectations."
Zhu Wu also said: "I think that with this artillery, there is now a lack of a weapon between artillery and swordsmen, with a range of one hundred to two hundred distances, that can strike the enemy.
In this way, it can be far, medium and near. level, continuously inflicting damage on the enemy, leaving the enemy breathless.
Although the bow and arrow are good, the range is still too short, that is, sixty-seven or ten steps. .
When facing the enemy, especially the cavalry, you must shoot continuously and quickly to effectively deal with it.
Such rapid shooting will cause too much damage.
If you don't have enough financial resources, Ershi's good bow will not be able to sustain it.
It can take more than a hundred steps, but it is not easy to make such a powerful bow, and not every soldier can pull it.
I recommend that the army be equipped with more crossbows."
Wang Yin frowned and said: "But the firing speed of the crossbow is very slow.
Not to mention the powerful crossbow like the Eight Ox Crossbow, even the foot-operated crossbow is very laborious and difficult to achieve sustained strike force."
Zhu Wu nodded and said: "Indeed, but the crossbow is the best offensive weapon I know with a range of more than a hundred steps.
Others are even worse."
Shi Jin pondered for a moment and couldn't help but said softly: "It would be great if there was a machine gun.
But it is so difficult to cast the artillery, and it is even more difficult to cast the machine gun.
Not to mention that there are no muskets yet.
It seems it’s time to find someone to develop muskets first
