The 2000 cavalrymen of the Duoning Army were up and down as the horses ran, but their eyes remained stern, holding a shield in one hand and a crossbow in the other. The cold crossbow bolts secretly aimed at the Dihu Khan's personal guards who charged across the mountain.

As the frontier soldiers guarding Youzhou, they guard the front line of the Daning Border Pass. Naturally, they are not badly equipped with armor and weapons. They are equipped with a powerful crossbow, which is enough to shoot through most of the Dihu people. Shield and armor.

But because each Ning army cavalry had limited crossbow arrows, Wu Ji kept ordering the others to put the crossbow on the shelf for the time being, and resolutely not to use it unless they encountered a difficult enemy.

Today, the Dihu Khan's personal guards are undoubtedly a difficult opponent worthy of their use of force.

Seeing that the Dihu cavalry were getting closer and closer, and had already entered the range of the crossbow, Wu Ji did not hesitate, and swung his sword loudly: "Shoot!"

"Shh-"

But hearing the sound of a breaking wind, more than 2000 crossbow arrows shot out, like a cloud of black arrows, roaring towards the Dihu people...

The Khan's personal guards followed the Khans of all dynasties in the southern and northern wars, and each of them had experienced hundreds of battles. Facing the rain of arrows roaring from the opposite side, they hurriedly lowered their bodies and raised their hands to resist the arrows...

The Dihu people lack iron, so their shields are all made of wood. Even the Khan's personal guards only cover the surface of the wooden shield with a layer of cowhide.

This kind of shield can withstand the bows and arrows of most grassland tribes, but it is not enough to face the crossbows from the Central Plains. Although many Dihu cavalry barely blocked the crossbow arrows of the Ning Dynasty cavalry with their shields, there are still many shields After being pierced by the powerful crossbow arrows, the Dihu cavalrymen behind the shield were shot. For a while, the Dihu army screamed again and again.

Before the Dihu people could react, another rain of arrows roared, and many Dihu people were shot and killed...

Yilige saw it, and hated to bleed in his heart. These damned Han people are only relying on the strength of their bows and crossbows. If they fight face to face with real swords and guns, how can they be their opponents of Dihu warriors.

Seeing that his side was completely suppressed by the arrow rain on the opposite side, Ilig immediately ordered loudly: "Khan's warriors, take up the bows and arrows in your hands, and show those damned Han people a little bit of color."

The Dihu cavalrymen woke up like a dream, immediately put away their shields, picked up their bows and arrows, and threw arrows in the direction of the Ning army. A shower of arrows attacked the Ning army from mid-air like locusts...

The cavalrymen of the Ning army immediately raised their shields to protect themselves and their horses. They only heard the sound of clanging and clanging. Except for a dozen or so unlucky Ning soldiers who were shot and fell off their horses, most of the arrows were blocked by the shields.

The Dihu people lack iron, and their metal smelting technology is not good enough, and the weapons they make are also limited in lethality.

Therefore, in order to increase the lethality of the arrows, the Dihu people will use the method of projectile archery, using the weight of the arrow itself, so as to cause greater lethality.

This projectile attack method is very effective against the army on the grassland, but it has limited power and little lethality against the well-equipped and well-trained Central Plains cavalry.

Because of the projectile method, not only the shooting range will be shortened a lot, but as long as the opponent raises the shield in the direction of the arrow to protect himself and the horse's head, the arrow can only damage the horse's chest and forelegs. The threat was limited. Moreover, the cavalry of the Ning Army, as the elite of the frontier army, were equipped with iron shields, and it was impossible for the crudely made arrows of the Dihu people to shoot through them.

Although he didn't suffer any big losses, Ning Jun was not polite to the Dihu people. He raised his crossbow and fired again, and the Dihu people screamed and fell down a large piece...

Seeing that their bows and arrows could not do much damage to the Ning army, but the Ning army's powerful crossbows could kill a large number of Dihu people, Ilig was anxious, and immediately gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Khan warriors, we don't want Afraid of the crossbow arrows of the Han people, bravely rush over, as long as they rush in front of them, they will never be our opponents of the Dihu warriors... Go, Changshengtian will bless us!"

"Kill it—"

When the Dihu people heard the order, they immediately cheered up, clamped their horses' belly, and rushed towards the Ning army braving the Ning army's arrows.

Seeing that the enemy and us are about to collide, Wu Ji suddenly turned his head and said loudly to Pang Hu behind him: "Old Pang, let's compare the two of us today to see who kills more enemies!"

Pang Hu's heart was also aroused in an instant, and he laughed loudly: "Okay! Let's have a good match. If you lose, you will pay me ten jars of good wine. If I lose, I will drink it within ten days." No alcohol!"

Wu Ji also looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and then led his army to rush into the enemy's formation first, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, with a long sword in his hand, he stabbed left and right, slashed up and down, but saw blood bursting out, blood and flesh Flying, instantly beheaded several Dihu people from their horses...

Pang Hu's horse was slightly inferior to Wu Ji's. When he entered the enemy line, seeing that Wu Ji had already killed several people in a row, his blood boiled in his chest. The barbarian's head immediately flew into the air, and the bright red blood spilled all over his body...

Wu Ji and Pang Hu were one in front, one in back, one left and one right, everywhere they went, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and corpses were scattered all over the field, killing Dihu cavalry soldiers crying and howling, they dared not approach them at all.

And more than 2000 soldiers followed the two of them, one by one, they were so brave that the Dihu people were a little overwhelmed, and they couldn't help but doubt life.

Wu Ji and Pang Hu fought so vigorously, neither of them could remember how many enemy troops they had killed, so it was hard to tell who was superior.

At this time, Wu Ji raised his eyes and happened to see the enemy's gold-rimmed wolf-headed banner not far away swaying violently in the wind. He suddenly had an idea in his mind, and then he suggested to Pang Hu on the side: "Old Pang Hu!" , how about we change the gamble, whoever can cut off the big flag wins?"

Pang Hu glanced at the wolf's head flag, did not speak, just nodded, and then rode his horse towards the direction of the wolf's head flag.

Wu Ji also rode his horse and followed closely behind, heading towards the Chinese army where the wolf head flag was located.

The other soldiers of the Ning Army were afraid that the general would lose, so they followed Wu Ji and rushed to the Langtou Banner.

They plunged straight into the enemy's formation like sharp knives, and Wu Ji and Pang Hu were the sharpest points of the sharp knives. Under the rampage of the two of them, Ning Jun forcibly divided the Dihu people into two.
