Chapter 22 Shoot Dongyi with a fight

At this time, I saw that those arrows shot into the air unexpectedly flew a considerable distance, and after drawing a large parabola, with the effect of gravity, it rained down on the advancing team of elite horses. Although there was no specific target to aim, the range was quite extensive, and wave after wave, without stopping—the merchant archers fired in three rows, in a cycle, forming an uninterrupted rain of arrows, which suddenly became a terrible nightmare for the divine archers.

With the neighing of the horses, the knights fell to the ground one after another, and most of the parts of the arrows were shoulders, heads, and limbs. These elite horsemen usually only shoot people, but they would have thought that there would be a day when they were shot like this, and they were caught off guard, and many soldiers were nailed to death with men and horses, which was miserable. Although they were also equipped with simple leather shields, they could not fully resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky. This sudden change also stunned the Dongyi people, and they didn't know what to do for a while, looking at the proud Divine Bow Spirit Rider who had been killed and injured nearly a thousand in a blink of an eye, Cang Jie woke up like a dream, and shouted: "Speed up! Protect the top of your head, and the column rushes over!"

Cang Jie was worthy of being in battle for a long time, and immediately saw the flaws of anti-aircraft tactics, so he immediately ordered the elite cavalry to adjust the formation, divide into several columns, and charge at a speed, trying to minimize the damage. Just as the Divine Bow Elite Riders were passing through the rain of arrows at full speed, the sharp-eyed King Yueji found that the archers in the merchant army array on the opposite side suddenly withdrew and were replaced by several rows of soldiers, these soldiers were wearing Xuan Yi, holding strange black bows like Huang Feihu in their hands, and there was no extra armor on their bodies, and they were selected archers at a glance.

King Yueji's delicate body trembled, and her heart swelled up with strong uneasiness again, and before she could stop it, her worry immediately became a reality.

I saw those black archers holding their bows and arrows, and before the Divine Bow Elite Riders had time to react, the powerful arrows like meteors had already pierced their leather armor, a range that was more than the Elite Cavalry who were proud of their bow power could not do. The firing frequency of the black archers also surprised the king of Yuehim, who is known for his long archery skills, although the speed of the arrows of this group of black archers is not as fast as her, but for the entire Dongyi tribes, it is impossible to find a second one as fast as them, because the continuous pulling of the string to the fingers is quite damaging, if you don't use some special exercises, if you continue to hold the bow and fire arrows at this speed, the fingers will be abolished in just a few times. How did she know that the black archer's fingers were wearing another secret accessory "invented" by the Son of Heaven - a wrench, so he could fire arrows at high speed with impunity.

Under the divine shooting of the black archers, gradually, the column formed by the divine archers became shorter and shorter.

What's even more odious is that when the Divine Bow Spirit, which had lost more than half of it, rode a fast horse and rushed to the firing range of its bow and arrow, preparing to counterattack, those black archers suddenly hid behind the giant shield erected in front of the merchant army, leaving the red-eyed Divine Bow Elite Rider with nowhere to vent his anger.

Just as the Divine Bow Elite was about to disrupt the shield formation with his usual roundabout arrows, the shields suddenly separated, and several columns of archers rushed out of the gap. These cavalrymen were well-armed, armed with powerful crossbows, and even their horses were wearing protective leather armor, and they rushed towards the divine bow elite cavalry.

Although the casualties in front were not small, the Divine Bow Elite Cavalry still had absolute experience and self-confidence in dealing with the Great Shang Archers of the same class, and used their skilled riding and archery skills to dazzle the enemy who was several times their size. However, today is obviously a disaster for the divine bow and cavalry, the strange "bow" in the hands of the merchant army (when Huang Feihu shot Wuzhamu, he secretly shot crossbow arrows under the belly of the ox, and very few people saw it) was quite terrifying, and there was no string or arrow, only need to aim with a strange posture, the rate of fire and strength are quite amazing, the tough armor is like paper paste in front of it, and the people who are hit by the arrow are all through the body, which is terrifying. On the contrary, most of the arrows of the Divine Bow Elite Riders could not penetrate the opponent's special leather armor, and the strength of the two sides could naturally be imagined.

The archers knew that if they fought the bow and arrow again, they would only be sent to death, so they drew their long swords one after another, and accelerated their speed to approach the enemy, intending to rely on cavalry in close combat, but they knew that this fulfilled the wish of the merchant army, although the crossbow was powerful, it was very troublesome to load, and the merchant army wanted to approach the fight immediately after releasing the three arrows, and did not want the enemy to send it to the door.

As soon as the cavalry on both sides approached, all the Dongyi people were suddenly surprised, the cavalry of the Shang Dynasty was able to break away from the control of both hands and make various offensive and defensive actions freely on horseback, this kind of magical riding skills is only afraid that even the dog Rong clan who "grew up on horseback" can not do it, and the sharp strange-shaped scimitar in their hands is the nemesis of the long sword. In the dust, the corpses of the divine bow and spirit riders on the ground gradually increased, and the elite knights finally knew that the combat effectiveness of the merchant army in front of them was no longer what it used to be, far superior to their own, and they couldn't help but be depressed, and they could only rely on a brave spirit to persevere.

Seeing that the elite was about to be completely damaged, and the morale plummeted, Cang Jie couldn't take care of the courage and reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army. Huang Feihu was willing to let go of such an opportunity, waved his spear, and led the whole army to pursue. The merchant army pursued for more than ten miles and captured a lot of baggage and prisoners, but due to the speed of Dongyi horses, most of the main forces escaped. It was the first time since the battle against Dongyi that the Dashang army had won so happily, and its morale was suddenly greatly boosted.

Zhang Zixing, who led the Chinese army to come later, learned the news, and was very happy and rewarded the meritorious soldiers, and Jiang Huanchu only then knew how powerful this "reckless" son-in-law was. While he was happy about the defeat of Dongyi by the Shang army, he was even more envious of several advanced equipment such as saddle pedals, combined bows, and repeating crossbows, and secretly thought that if the Donglu Legion could be equipped with these new weapons, it would not only make Dongyi fearful, but also far surpass the other three marquis, making the Jiang family the strongest prince in the world...... However, I heard that the Divine Weapon Workshop is the most secret place of Chaoge, but I am afraid that these things are not so easy to get.

The merchant army was stationed in Kancheng that night, and Jiang Huan Chu, who was looking for his son in vain, had just walked into the tent of the Chinese army of the Son of Heaven, and suddenly saw a probe horse kneeling down towards the Son of Heaven, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Marshal Jiang of the Houjun has sent a signal of good news!"

Jiang Huanchu was not a little surprised, wasn't his son in charge of escorting supplies and receiving work, how could there be "good news" all of a sudden? Listening to the spies' next report, Jiang Huanchu's face changed again and again, and his gaze towards the Son of Heaven became more and more awe-inspiring. It turned out that Zhang Zixing let Huang Feihu lead the front army to advance slowly and vigorously and fight with the Dongyi army in Dongyuan, and on the other hand, Jiang Wenhuan led a team of 1,000 elite cavalry to bypass the large army as quickly as possible and go straight to the temporary concentration camp stationed in the distance to attack the various ethnic groups in Dongyi. This is exactly the imitation of the Han Wu Emperor's famous general Huo Quai's attack tactics, Jiang Huan Chu is young and heroic, full of momentum, and Huo Qubing is quite similar, and has lived in Donglu for a long time, knows the characteristics of the enemy very well, is the best person to implement this tactic.

Jiang Wenhuan really lived up to Zhang Zixing's expectations, destroyed Dongyi's camp in one fell swoop, and captured a large number of relatives and materials of various royal families in Dongyi, and is currently on his way back. When Huang Feihu, Zhang Guifang and others heard that the surprise attack was successful, they all looked happy and admired the Son of Heaven's strategy.

Zhang Zixing was still very happy before, but when he heard it, he frowned greatly: Jiang Wenhuan was able to succeed this time because of his own marching speed and sudden attack on the enemy, if he returned with a large number of prisoners and supplies like this, he would greatly reduce the speed of the march and lose his greatest advantage, and although Dongyi was defeated, the main force was not damaged, so he delayed the march so much, he was afraid that he would be caught up by the other party.

"Zhang Guifang, Li Jing!" Zhang Zixing ordered: "Order the two of you to lead 10,000 horses to meet Marshal Jiang as soon as possible, if you encounter an enemy army, you must not fall in love!"

The second general hurriedly received the order to get out of the account, Zhang Zixing thought about Sun Wei's "Heavenly Shadow" intelligence organization Although it has begun to take shape, and Fei Zhong is also quite hardworking, but the intelligence system of the big merchants still needs a considerable amount of time to further improve and grow, and the "Heavenly Shadow" has gradually penetrated into the territories of the princes in various places, but for the frontier, such as Dongyi, The information on the dog Rong's side is still blank, although Wen Zhong has conquered Dongyi, the information obtained is still limited, and it is still more than ten years ago, so it is necessary to learn more about Jiang Huan Chu in order to know himself and the other.

"Jiang Houjiu Zhen Donglu, I know the details of Dongyi best, I don't know what other combat power Dongyi has?"

Jiang Huan Chu saw the Son of Heaven asking, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he told him in detail.

Dongyi is the descendant of the demon god Chiyou, usually scattered into various small countries (tribes), with the strongest power of the poor clan, there was a famous god in the poor country back then, that is, Hou Yi who shot down the nine days, and the rest of the Hu clan, the Hu clan, the Shi clan, the pouring of irrigation, the search and other national forces are not trivial. The Dongyi people were very warlike, and often formed coalition armies to invade the eastern borders of the Great Shang, plundering property and women. But even the most powerful poor king must be at the mercy of the common religious leader of the Dongyi tribes, the Witch Sacrifice King. The witch sacrifice king is proficient in magic, the strength is profound, and there is a group of terrible elite soldiers under his command "Witch Army", although the number of these witch troops is limited, but they all have secret arts, and their combat effectiveness is quite amazing, their walking speed is no less than that of horses, and the weapons are indestructible divine weapons. Of course, the most terrifying thing in Dongyi is that the two ancient demonic beasts Feng Feng and the Nine Babies that were left behind when Hou Yi shot back then, which are already comparable to ordinary people. However, the witch sacrifice also costs a considerable amount of money to drive the two demonic beasts, in addition to the great loss of vitality, a large number of human sacrifices are also required. In Jiang Huan Chu's memory, these two demonic beasts were only dispatched when Wen Taishi went on an expedition to the east twenty years ago, and the final result was that both Dongyi and the Shang army were defeated.

An ancient demonic beast that even Master Wen couldn't clean up? Zhang Zixing fell into deep thought, he only had the four generals of the Demon Family, Zhang Guifang and others in his hands now, could he completely subdue Dongyi?

Just when Zhang Zixing was thinking hard about countermeasures, suddenly the soldiers came to report that Jiang Wenhuan was defeated by Dongyi's pursuers on the way back, and he was seriously injured.

"What!" Jiang Huan Chu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that his son was in danger and injured.
