The first thousand and sixty-nine chapters shoot Sirius (forty-five)
The horns were roaring and the war drums were rumbling. With the order of the association, the entire coalition army finally began to move.
The huge cavalry was like a torrent that was firmly blocked by a dam. They had long wanted to sweep down, but they were just waiting for the opportunity.
Now that the dam breaks, it naturally needs to exert its power.
The battlefield is not a arena. No matter how brave and good at fighting, it is impossible for a powerful general to change the outcome of the war alone.
Although these coalition cavalry admired Xu Le's bravery, everyone's position was hostile. Even if they admired him, they would not be ruthless when they deserved death.
According to their thoughts, they had long hoped that the commander would pass the general order, and everyone rushed forward and stepped on the Shenwu boy who dared to challenge the army into a meat paste and rotten sauce.
If he was allowed to come and go calmly, wouldn’t he be laughed at to death when he met Tang Jun’s battlefield in the future?
Before, the association rate was delayed and there was no way to do so. Now, when there is a military order, how can you hesitate?
The weed slope is so big. Now the coalition forces have dispatched nearly 5,000 troops. These people alone can fill the weed slope. What's the use of no matter how powerful you are?
However, the terrain of the weed slope determines that it is impossible for these 5,000 people to rush up. The flat land on the slope can carry limited troops.
After all, these soldiers and horses are also soldiers who have experienced a lot of battle formations. They will not be able to rush over and influence each other or even collide with each other and cannot form formations.
Should we rush upward in a large group of people or take a staging trend?
The one who rushed to the front was Shuofang Cavalry, who was commander-in-chief of the Liang army.
Although these cavalry stopped after the association commanded the military order, when the Liang army insisted on rushing up, they followed them and rushed forward for a while until the Mingdi military order was passed.
This is nothing at all. For warriors, obeying military orders is their duty, and it is more often an instinctive reaction.
But in the eyes of the association rate, this is a death sentence.
Even if they cannot kill all the Shuofang Army, they have to teach them enough lessons to demonstrate the authority of Ashi's family.
Therefore, this first wave of attack was led by the Shuofang Army, and they used their lives to set a way for the follow-up troops.
Although the Shuofang Cavalry had just defeated the commander's unstable morale, it was not a good time to charge, but the military order was like a mountain and had no choice but to rush up the mountain.
The soldiers in the front row also held their bows high, preparing to provide cover for themselves by shooting arrows.
But Li Shimin's movement speed is undoubtedly faster than them, and his archery skills are far more skillful than them.
The bowstrings were loose and the arrows were flying. In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin had shot eight arrows, and eight people in the corresponding Shuofang army were also dropped.
Due to the limited width of the uphill road, even if the Shuofang Army sacrificed its combat formation to ensure impact efficiency, the distance between them was very close, and there were only a few people in a row.
Li Shimin shot and killed eight people in one breath. Not only were the cavalrymen in the first row all fell off the horse, but several of them fell down in the second row.
Although the war horses that had lost control were controlled and contained by other cavalry as soon as possible, their formation was inevitably affected and their progress was inevitably slow.
Seeing this, the cavalry in the back row hurriedly opened their bows and shot arrows, regardless of the distance.
Rows of arrows cut through the sky and fell down, but their effects were very limited.
After all, the riding bow they used was not as powerful as the treasure bow in Li Shimin's hand, and it has basically not yet entered the effective range.
At this time, there were basically not many arrows shot on Li Shimin and Xu Le. Even if he was lucky enough to shoot, he would lose his strength and could not penetrate armor at all.
But this does not mean that arrow clusters are useless, after all, people have seven emotions and six desires.
Seeing so many arrows shooting at me, I couldn't help but feel panic.
It is normal for movement deformation or slowing hands and feet. As long as this happens, the attacker can quickly close the distance.
But Li Shimin was unmoved at all. In his eyes, these locusts all over the sky seemed to be like a child's trick. He just calmly pulled the bow and shot arrows repeatedly.
The arrows shuttled back and forth in the air, and the big feather arrow passed by the cavalry's wolf-tooth arrow, and then nailed a knight under the horse.
The cavalry bow cover of Shuofang Army failed to achieve the due effect, and it damaged fifteen cavalry in one breath, but it still failed to get closer to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's arrows not only shot people but also shot horses.
The mountain road is so wide that when there are many corpses of people and horses, it becomes a barrier.
Although this corpse barrier does not have much protection, for cavalry that charges at high speed, a little bit of obstacle may cause the troops to fall to the ground.
The speed of roadblocks will slow down when there are more roadblocks, and the speed will slow down, which means more arrows will be taken.
The attack was blocked and the progress was not good, while the arrows from Li Shimin were still ruthlessly reaping lives.
In the face of such a blow that has no way forward and cannot retreat and continue to sacrifice his life, the morale of the Shuofang Army can no longer be maintained.
The soldiers in the front row drove away desperately. The soldiers in the back row didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the robes in front retreat, they followed them in a daze.
Actually, this is not surprising. The organization of the army in this era is like this.
Even if the Yingyang soldiers of the government were in this state before the Great Sui Dynasty were destroyed, it would be difficult to persevere if the casualties of a unit in the field battle exceeded 10%. Once the number of casualties rose to 30%, it would collapse at any time.
If the commander of the army is in power, or the means are skillful, the troops can bear higher casualties, or they can complete rectification in time after the troops collapse and then put them on the battlefield again.
But for most troops, collapse is inevitable.
The roots of the Shuofang Army are basically horse thieves, robbers and some powerful armed forces. The organizational degree and discipline obedience cannot be compared with regular troops, and their ability to withstand casualties is lower.
The reason why the Liang brothers were able to rely on martial arts to command the three armies to command the troops to fight was because their subordinates were so high that they often lost more and won less when fighting real battles.
If you fight in a bad battle, the chances of winning are higher.
What's more, their head coach was killed one after another today, and he didn't know what punishment he would face for disobeying military orders.
From top to bottom, the army generals who were panicked and did not have enough weight came forward to organize rectification and launched an attack just like they were put on the shelves. They all knew that they were acting as scapegoats, so how much fighting spirit could they have?
If the progress goes well, he can barely fight, but Li Shimin's bow and arrow are so great that these Shuofang troops can't see any hope of victory and think that they are just dying.
Even the battles that are destined to be unable to win and can even be defeated, even the military officers and soldiers may not be able to fight, let alone the current Shuofang cavalry.
Therefore, their defeat is reasonable.
It’s just that the truth is easy to understand, but whether you can accept it emotionally is another matter.
Xu Le is still fighting with Xue Rengao now and has not freed up his hands to participate in the battle here.
Li Shimin drove away a cavalry team of hundreds of people with one bow?
Is this so great?
Originally, Xu Le was already a headache, but now Li Shimin is added, and he is pouring a basin of cold water on everyone's heads, and he almost pointed at his nose and told them that he would die as soon as possible to guide the heart of Hedong swept Guanzhong.
We both can fight you thousands of troops, and you dare to go to war with our army and live impatiently?
The former was not so eye-catching when the Xia County War.
Why is it like a different person today?
Could it be that Xu Le's methods are so terrible?
Not only can you be brave, but you can also pass on this courage to your friends around you.
The people next to him can make great progress in their abilities to reach a level close to Xu Le?
If this is the case, the battle will not be fought.
Of course, the battlefield would not stop because of the collapse of a 100-man cavalry team. As soon as the army retreated, a cavalry team immediately took over.
Li Shimin was calm and still held his strong bow in his hand and shot arrows at the cavalry rushing up the mountain road.
One arrow, one person! One arrow, one horse! The drums and horns on the battlefield were noisy, but Li Shimin's heart was as calm as water.
I usually hang out with the military man, and I think I have long been used to the sound of gongs, drums, horns, and even like the military man, I can't say anything when I hear this order of fighting.
I wish I could rush into the battlefield and fight with my opponent.
But today's same drum horns have very different emotions.
Without the excitement and impulse of the past, there is peace instead.
It’s not that I have lost interest in war, but that I am as quiet as the water and the spiritual platform is clear and clear, and I am not caught in the noisy atmosphere. Instead, I feel that my previous performance and emotions are a bit impetuous.
At this moment, this calm state is the most suitable for the battle formation.
Always maintaining rationality can make you more clear in the battlefield, and also let yourself know how to allocate your strength so that you will not do useless work and waste a lot of effort because of excessive excitement.
Arrows are no longer stolen. Even if you shoot arrows with your eyes closed, you can still maintain your rationality and choose your target calmly.
In front of him were full of cavalry, and in his heart, the order of attacks was determined based on the positions of these people and the identity of the flag-certifying behind them.
The purpose of archery is not simply to kill people, but also to destroy the enemy's formation and command.
One person can’t rely solely on brute force when fighting hundreds of cavalry, but more often it is wisdom.
When every arrow is shot, the benefits brought by a person are much greater than the death of a person's life.
Li Shimin has experienced countless battle formations, and this is the first time this feeling has happened.
He knew very well that this was because Xu Le was by his side, so he could focus without any distractions and not be worried and be at ease. Only by concentrating on the center of peace can he reach this state.
If you change the situation, it is difficult to predict whether you can reach this level in this way.
No matter what, touching this threshold means touching it. Although Yu’s martial arts cultivation will be of great help in the future, more importantly, he also helped him solve a problem.
Temple calculations and battle formations are not separated. Even in hand-to-hand combat, temple calculations still have their significance.
In addition, the most important gain is: Only by doing without emotions can you benefit the most! Many times, emotions may be just restraint, not only without help, but will only restrain your hands and feet.
