Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 838 Who cut off Yin Jia's head?

Cheng Liang narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark tide of war horses in the distance, carefully estimating the distance.

Then he raised a hand: "Bow and arrow ready."

All the soldiers immediately stood up, put arrows on their bows, and slowly pulled the bows to full draw.

Cheng Liang swung his arm downwards: "Shoot!"

The sound of bowstrings snapping was endless, and suddenly a group of feather arrows rose up from behind the carriage, breaking through the morning mist and flying into the air.

The next moment, a neighing sound was heard from the cavalry team in the distance, and a war horse fell sideways on the grass, causing chaos.

Cheng Liang raised his hand again: "Bow and arrow, shoot!"

The second round of arrows soared into the air, piercing through the morning mist and piercing towards the galloping cavalry.

Cheng Liang then shouted, "Get your shotguns ready, fire!"

This time the sound was deafening, and countless shotgun blasts emitted a puff of green smoke, which mixed with the morning mist, making the circle of carriages hazy.

The Tatar cavalry was less than fifty steps away from the circle of carriages, but suddenly they were hit by a shower of steel balls on their galloping horses.

Neither humans nor horses could withstand the large number of steel balls hitting them. The cavalry in the front row were suddenly thrown to the ground, and countless of them fell to the ground.

The war riders following behind were also tripped by the front row.

The entire cavalry was in chaos.

This was not the end yet. There was another roar, and the Tatar cavalry suffered another fatal blow.

The originally excited Tatar cavalry were stunned by the bursts of gunfire.

The overturned cavalry in the front row slowed down the speed of the charge, and the Tatar troops were once again attacked by a barrage of crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows were sharper than those from shotguns, and they kept coming at them, like an endless stream of flying insects, flying around and crashing into the team.

Anyone who is hit by the collision will inevitably fall down, and the person or horse will be trampled by the horse and lose their fighting ability.

The crossbows finally stopped shooting, but then the deadly gunshots rang out again. The cavalry, which had already increased its speed to the maximum, was still about ten or twenty steps away from the carriage and could not move forward any further.

Various crossbow arrows and steel balls flew everywhere, not only stopping the cavalry from advancing, but also taking the lives of countless soldiers.

Lin Feng stood on the roof of a carriage, frowning as he looked at the battlefield ahead.

Countless Tartars fell to the grass howling in pain, and there were also horses that fell to the ground but still struggled to stand up.

The blood dyed the green grass red.

When a ray of sunlight shines on the prairie, large areas of bright red stimulate people's sight.

It also touches everyone's heartstrings.

Shi Gukugen and Su Jia, who were at the end of the cavalry team, were shouting excitedly, urging all the cavalry to speed up the charge.

However, after hearing bursts of roars in their ears, the cavalry team slowed down their charge.

When they rushed forward for more than twenty steps, the team in front had almost stopped moving forward.

Shi Guku looked forward in surprise, but his view was blocked by countless war horses.

"What's going on? Charge forward and chop off a head. I'll reward you with ten taels of silver. Whoever grabs it gets it!"

He Sujia was still roaring at the top of his lungs to encourage his cavalry.

But even though they shouted loudly, the cavalry in front could not move forward any further.

The next moment, a riot broke out.

A guard turned his horse around and came to Gu Ku.

"Master General, the cavalry ahead are being blocked by crossbows and artillery."

"Cannon? What?"

"Sir, that was the sound of thunder just now."

Before Shi Guku could figure out what was happening, the cavalry in front began to disperse to both sides, revealing a tragic scene ahead.

Countless overturned war horses, soldiers with broken limbs and arms, and the surviving people and horses were still struggling and wriggling on the blood-stained grass.

Shi Gukugen and Su Jia stared blankly at the front, their minds blank.

It was less than a hundred steps away from the Zhenxi Army's chariot position, but it felt like encountering an insurmountable barrier.

Shi Guku's cavalry team fell down a dozen steps in front of the carriage position, unable to move forward even half a step.

Shi Guku turned his head and looked around. In less than half an hour, half of the six thousand cavalry were knocked down. The remaining cavalry were scattering around the slaughterhouse in front, trying to approach the Zhenxi Army's chariot position from both wings.

Unfortunately, the war cavalry that went around was still knocked down by countless gunshots, accompanied by a large number of crossbow arrows.

The cavalry fell sideways in front of the carriage position, unable to cross the seemingly flat but chasm-like natural barrier.

Amidst the chaos, Lin Feng finally fixed his gaze on Shi Guku, who was standing a hundred steps away.

The silver armor on him and Su Jia reflected a silver-white color in the sunlight, which was very dazzling.

"Capture these two silver armors and you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and promoted to the next level."

A wolf-howling sound immediately rang out beside Lin Feng. A soldier jumped up, mounted his horse, and rushed out through a gap in the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, countless cavalry rushed out from the circle of carriages towards the Tatar cavalry.

The Zhenxi Army began to counterattack by defending.

However, there were not many healthy Tatar cavalry left. When they saw the Zhenxi Army cavalry rushing out, they immediately rode away.

They were already scared out of their wits. This was not a war, it was clearly being abused.

It was an unprecedented experience. The warhorse was shot down before it even came into contact with the enemy, and died a very miserable death.

After several rounds of charges, there were less than a thousand cavalrymen left out of the six thousand.

Shi Gu sighed bitterly, and surrounded by guards, he turned around and ran away.

He Sujia didn't dare to stay any longer, so he chose a direction with fewer people, urged his horse on, and galloped away with a group of guards.

Pei Qiyin looked at the tragic scene in front of him and shook his head.

"I've killed people before and never hesitated. I didn't know what it meant to be reluctant. But now, seeing this situation, I know what it feels like to be reluctant."

Lin Feng said calmly: "War is like this. People with soft hearts cannot lead troops or go to the battlefield."

"I admit that the general is right."

Shi Guku led his guards and galloped all the way, leaving the pursuers far behind. His riding skills were superb, and his warhorse was better than others. Even the guards were left far behind by him.

On the endless grassland, Lin Feng's guards stubbornly chased the galloping Tatar cavalry, determined not to let them escape.

Several guard leaders around Lin Feng each led their teams to chase the defeated soldiers and the two silver-armored soldiers.

Only Lin Feng and Pei Qiyin were left in the carriage circle. They sat in the carriage and silently watched Zhu Jie's engineering battalion cleaning up the battlefield.

Wooden Face did not chase the Tartars, but just searched the battlefield, looking for something.

The dead people and horses were buried in pits dug on the spot by the engineers, and many of the Tartar equipment that were usable or valuable were collected.

Zhu Jie was very frugal and knew that the Zhenxi Army was growing larger and larger and required a lot of supplies and equipment. If he was extravagant, supply and demand would sooner or later become a problem.

Lin Feng also admired this about him.

In the distance, war horses were galloping towards them. The two men looked up and saw that someone had taken the lead and chopped off Yin Jia's head.
