Chapter 463: Flying a Kite

Although the temple is famous on the mainland, even the Southern Chu royal family has to obey the orders of the temple, but the temple does not have an established army, let alone the experience of leading the army to fight.

The cavalry of the temple are all carefully selected and have strong personal combat power, and the combat experience they have has only been to dispatch three or five hundred horsemen to perform any tasks, and they have no experience in large-scale cavalry combat.

This is what the accompanying steppe people are worried about, cavalry combat is not so simple, it is by no means that everyone rides up and slashes and kills with a knife.

Neither Bian Qingdou nor her senior brother noticed that the accompanying grassland people were whispering something.

It's closer, it's getting closer...... Bian Qingdou and her senior brother both showed excited expressions on their faces, the pursuit along the way was really not easy, but the fruits of victory would be picked soon!

Although these steppe cavalry were quite numerous, how could they be the opponent of the elite temple cavalry when they were hastily assembled?

It's a pity that Bian Qingdou and her senior brother have a misunderstanding of the elite cavalry, the elite cavalry refers to the cavalry with strict military discipline and strict formation, and it is definitely not the elite cavalry with strong personal combat power.

Getting closer and closer, Mingyue and the others finally felt the oppression of the cavalry behind them, and also understood why Tang Ning firmly chose to flee instead of facing the battle.

It turned out that the cavalry of the formation galloped so terrifyingly! It's just that now that the other party has chased after him, what should I do?

Just as Mingyue was about to open her mouth to ask, Tang Ning suddenly raised the horn, and the desolate and majestic horn sounded.

Just when Mingyue didn't know why, he suddenly found that the surrounding grassland cavalry invariably took arrows and turned around to shoot arrows.

What is the greatest strength of the steppe cavalry?

It's riding and shooting! They can turn around and shoot arrows backwards with empty legs at the same time, although they will not accurately hit a single person, but they can be accurate to a range, and the power of thousands of arrows thrown together can be imagined!

This is the classic tactic of the steppe cavalry, flying kites, deceiving defeat and leading the opponent to pursue, while constantly shooting arrows to kill and injure the enemy.

Even if the opponent shoots back, it is a headwind, so as long as you properly grasp the distance of the arrow, you can continue to accumulate advantages.

Tang Ning chose this tactic, and since the people who were chasing were the people of the temple, how could their archery skills compare to the steppe cavalry? Not to mention archery, do they have bows and arrows?

Bian Qingdou and her senior brother, who were pursuing, felt inexplicable when they heard the sound of the horn, what kind of horn to blow at this time, is it possible that they are still ready to speed up? Don't you think it's too late to speed up?

Then they saw the cavalry in front of them turn around in unison, what are they doing when they turn around? Before they could ask, a rain of arrows came with a buzzing sound of arrows!

Bian Qingdou and her senior brother were stunned at that time, their eyes were split, they actually released arrows!

The dense rain of arrows roared from above with fierce strength, and the cavalrymen who were galloping on their horses raised their swords to protect themselves, and the chasing cavalry suddenly became messy for a while.

Although they are all highly skilled, how can they all be safe and sound in the face of such a dense rain of arrows?

The screams of men and the mournful sounds of horses were intertwined, and even cavalry collided with each other. Just a rain of arrows caused heavy losses to the pursuing cavalry.

Bian Qingdou's senior brother was stunned, and now he hadn't fought with Tang Ning's people, but he was killed by a rain of arrows.

What made him even more panicked was that since the opposite side could shoot an arrow at such a rapid speed, how could he only shoot it once?

At this time, he finally understood why the cavalry in front of him slowed down, and was waiting for them to rush up.

Mingyue and the others finally understood why Tang Ning chose to continue to gallop forward, and the speed was so slow, it turned out that he deliberately lured the other party to catch up, and after the other party caught up, they released the arrow while speeding up.

While controlling the horse forward, Mingyue and the others looked back, watching such a dense number of arrows falling from the sky, they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.

Sure enough, the pursuing cavalry turned on their backs for a while, and the losses were not small. This made Mingyue and them feel very good, they have been pursued by them, and their hearts are on fire.

Although he couldn't swing his sword and slash in person, he couldn't be happier to see the pursuing cavalry being shot so badly by the rain of arrows!

Mingyue said excitedly: "Good job, shoot them!" Shoot them! ”

Bian Qingdou's senior brother saw that the cavalry in front of him was constantly speeding up, and began to pray in his heart, praying that at such a fast speed, those grassland cavalry could no longer turn back and shoot arrows.

Just as he was thinking like this, the sound of a horn sounded in front of him again, and Bian Qingdou and her senior brother suddenly felt numb in their scalps again, because another dense rain of arrows struck.

The screams of people and the sorrow of horses were intertwined again, Bian Qingdou and Senior Brother looked back, and many cavalrymen fell from their horses with arrows, and they felt distressed in their hearts, these are all elite cavalry of the temple!

What scared them the most was that there would continue to be a rain of arrows, and how could those cavalrymen only have two arrows in their quivers?

At this time, they were faintly desperate, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and if they continue to pursue, there will be a rain of arrows, even if they can finally catch up with each other, how many people can be left?

Can you still win the horse? Can Downing still be captured alive?

Just as they were thinking anxiously in their hearts, there was a desolate and majestic trumpet sound in front of them, and another rain of arrows was about to strike.

Bian Qingdou said urgently: "Senior brother, what should I do?" ”

Senior Brother Bian Qingdou was not a mediocre person, and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Disperse!" Disperse! Everybody spread out! ”

Scattering is indeed a way to deal with the rain of arrows, and although it is impossible to completely avoid casualties, it can reduce casualties.

It's just that Senior Brother Bian Qingdou's shout was a little late after all, although it was ahead of the rain of arrows, but everyone's reaction was not so fast.

Bian Qingdou's senior brother was stunned, and his heart was about to drip blood, and when these three rounds of arrows rained down, his cavalry lost three or four percent.

After this rain of arrows, the cavalry behind him quickly spread out to both sides, and a large distance began to be separated between the cavalry and the cavalry.

However, this is just the beginning.

The rain of arrows continues. Although the casualties were not as high as at the beginning, the accumulation should not be underestimated, and a few more waves of arrows rained down, and the casualties had reached half.

At this time, the grassland people who followed came to Bian Qingdou and her senior brother's side, and said in a low voice: "Ye Daren, if we continue to chase like this, we can only be killed by Tang Ning's kites!" ”

Senior Brother Bian Qingdou couldn't help but think of this person's reminder when he heard it, and at that moment he asserted that he couldn't continue to chase him, and he would be kited by the other party.
