Especially Xia Ruize, he had been staring at the senior barbarians above the big boss and shooting. In the process of chasing and fleeing, he abruptly killed 24 big barbarians and six small barbarians.
These high-level barbarians were very powerful. Sometimes it was difficult for Xia Ruize to kill successfully with one arrow, but he was not at all anxious.
The small chief of the barbarians found out that his senior barbarians were constantly being attacked, and he gradually realized that something was wrong and ordered the army to stop and rest.
Seeing the Daxia cavalry standing upright not far away, the barbarians felt gloomy and frustrated. If their eyes could kill people, the 14 Daxia cavalry would have died thousands of times.
Unfortunately, eyes could not kill people. The more realistic problem was that without a horse, the barbarians couldn't catch up with the Daxia cavalry. There were few archers, and they couldn't even shoot against the Daxia cavalry.
Except for wielding weapons to resist the arrows shot by the Daxia cavalry, the barbarians did not even have an effective counterattack method, which was really frustrating. Not to mention that many barbarians didn't even have the strength to wield weapons, so they could only be slaughtered.
After watching the Daxia cavalry kill more than ten senior barbarians, the anger in the heart of the small barbarian chief once again rushed to the top of his head, plus he finally put the water in, consciously rested, and immediately shouted and ordered his subordinates loudly to continue to chase.
There was a sigh from the barbarian army, but it was obviously unable to impress the angry small barbarian chief, so after the eight war horses of the high-level barbarian moved, the barbarian army at the rear could only stand up from the ground and continue to follow.
Cheng Huaiqian asked his cavalry to turn their horses first and continue to run north. He waited for Xia Ruize to shoot two more arrows to solve a big barbarian leader, and the small barbarian chief even approached within 20 meters of the area, and then drove away.
The distance between the enemies was so close that even the expression of the opponent could be clearly seen, but Cheng Huaiqian had no nervousness at all. He even provocatively hooked his finger at the barbarian chief.
The small chief was so angry that his eyes spat fire, but in the end, he didn't vigorously beat his horse to catch up with the two damn Daxia people.
The reason was simple. At present, there were only seven subordinates who could keep up with his speed. In the morning, under the protection of more subordinates, the riding battle between him and these two Daxia people did not please, and it was more difficult now.
The plan of the small barbarian chief was to rely on the large number of barbarian warriors to pile up these Daxia cavalry. Although they had not caught up with the Daxia cavalry, the horses would always be tired from running, and then it would be the death of the Daxia cavalry.
The small barbarian chief selectively ignored that the horses did get tired from running, but the barbarian warriors would obviously get tired earlier and faster. He now had no hundreds of horses that could swarm up to surround the enemy. Those who run on two legs, of course, couldn't catch up with the Daxia cavalry who ran on four legs.
After chasing again for more than half an hour, the barbarian army completely stopped. Even without the command of the small chief, the barbarian running on legs in the rear could not hold it.
Sweat, eyes darkened, and head dizzy. One barbarian took the lead to lie down on the side of the road and refused to run again. After seeing this, other barbarians followed suit and fell on the ground and refused to get up again. Soon the barbarian army laid down.
The small chief ran a long way, only to be reminded by the leader beside him. He looked back, heh, his men were scattered on the ground behind him.
The barbarian chief was extremely shocked. The barbarians advocated absolute authority. The subordinates did not dare to disobey the superior's orders. He had no idea that before he ordered a rest, these unused men would dare to disobey and rest under his nose.
The chief was born in a barbarian tribe, powerful, and he became the leader of the army directly as an adult. The superior was still the elder of the family, and he had not experienced being at the bottom. He had always enjoyed the absolute authority of being a superior. Now he was disobeyed by his subordinates. Angry and embarrassed, he froze in place for a while.
The two commanders took this opportunity to try to persuade the small chief to abandon the plan to pursue the damn Daxia cavalry, and it was more important to execute the order to invade south.
The small barbarian chief was not a fool, knowing that his subordinates would rather disobey and refuse to run should be really unable to run, even if he was unwilling, wishing to smash the Daxia cavalry into pieces, but it did not seem to be a good opportunity now.
While the senior barbarians were discussing countermeasures, the arrows of the Daxia cavalry were never broken.
When the barbarian chief finally compromised and ordered the army to turn back to the south, Cheng Huaiqian smiled, with a hearty and charming smile on his handsome face. He was chased for the whole morning, now he liked the transfer of status, it's their turn to be a hunter.
With a wave of his hand and an order, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize led their cavalry to catch up with the barbarian army from the side, and then pulled their bows and shot arrows at the barbarian army.
The barbarians hated these more than ten Daxia cavalryman to their bones, but they had nothing to do with them. The barbarians who were good at bows had been targeted one by one by the leaders of the Daxia cavalry, and the barbarians who were good at melee could only passively defend against arrows.
No matter how far the sword in their hands were thrown, it could not pose a threat to the Daxia cavalry. These Daxia cavalry could only be regarded as annoying flies, and wave their weapons a lot to drive them away.
When the entire barbarian army turned to go south, Xia Ruize still picked the barbarian leader to hit and kill, but when the barbarians walked for more than ten minutes, he suddenly drew his bow and turned to shoot at the unsuspected barbarian riding on the front.
This arrow accurately penetrated the back of the barbarian commander, and penetrated the entire body. The arrow shot from the front of the heart, killing the barbarian commander who was closely following the small chief with one arrow.
The barbarian commander looked down at his chest, which was pouring blood in disbelief. Before he could even turn his head to look at the attacker behind him, he slammed straight down from the battle horse.
Between the lightning and the fire, before the other barbarians could react, another arrow had passed through the unsuspecting barbarian commander on the other side of the barbarian chief, and another leader with troops fell powerlessly.
At this point, the four commanders surrounding the small chief only had only two, and the two leading commanders fell one after another. That was to say, there was a command fault between the small chief and the small commanders
In fact, the small barbarian chief who couldn't believe his eyes hadn't realized that the number of big bosses in the barbarian army was also at stake, and there would also be a command fault between the small boss and the lower leaders.
The sudden change completely broke the plan of the barbarians. It was no wonder that the two leaders of the barbarians who should be difficult to get around were so easily killed, and they were also paralyzed.
During most of the previous morning's pursuit, the damn Daxia cavalry leader's bow and arrow attack target was always the barbarians without horses, and they avoided the eight high-level barbarians on horses every time.
Over time, from the young leader, the big boss to the small commanders, all the high-level barbarians who drive on their legs have become accustomed to swinging their weapons in front of them twice from time to time, and were always alert to the attacks of the Daxia cavalry.
On the contrary, there were eight senior barbarians riding on war horses. After many false alarms, they were accustomed to ignoring the flying arrows, and gradually lost their guard.
In the initial stage of turning the direction and returning to the south, everything was normal, so Xia Ruize, who suddenly shot at them, was able to quickly solve the two defenseless barbarian leaders with two arrows in succession.
Xia Ruize's action was the beginning. After that, the arrows of the other twelve Daxia cavalrymen also shot continuously at the remaining six high-level barbarians riding on war horses, including the small chief.
This was a hornet's nest, and the barbarian chief ordered for the third time that the entire army pursue the Daxia cavalry!
The difference was that this time, the barbarian warriors were full of anger and aroused again, because the two commanders Xia Ruize killed just now were the commanders with heavy forces and real power, and they were civilian barbarians who had been promoted all the way from the bottom. Their guards and subordinates were completely angered.
With the power bonus of anger, the barbarian army squeezed out physical strength, quickly changed direction, and chased the Daxia cavalry again.
This time, the angry barbarians ran even faster than the previous round of pursuit.
The Daxia cavalry had long been accustomed to the scene of the barbarian army rushing forward. They were not surprised at all. They turned the horse's head skillfully, and rushed north again without looking back.
Unfortunately, the physical strength of the barbarian warriors was already severely insufficient. After holding on for half an hour, the barbarian army was really unable to continue pursuing, and even the strength to turn back to the camp was gone, and the army rushed to the ground, lying down, motionless.
The remaining eight war horses carried the small barbarian chief, his two guard commanders, and five elite guards. They froze in the middle of a large lying barbarian army. They looked around and felt that they were sitting in battle. Immediately it was too unsafe, and they dismounted one after another and mixed into the barbarians.
The Daxia cavalry, under the command of Cheng Huaiqian, could be said to be lingering. When they flee, they flee vigorously, but as soon as the barbarian gave up chasing, they returned again, wandering around and attacking the barbarian army, annoying.
The Daxia cavalry was scattered around the barbarian army, shooting arrows recklessly. The barbarians lying on the ground seemed to be static targets, letting them shoot at every turn. This kind of experience was unprecedented. Several cavalries had their hand shanking uncontrollably out of excitement.
With today's experience, let them die immediately, and they had no regrets!
Thinking of this, the Daxia cavalry looked at the two officers with admiration and respect. From the dissatisfaction of being suddenly divided under the command of the two new officers, to the shock of the operations of the two officers, and the respect now, all because of the strength of the two commanders.
The pious cavalry did not know what they were discussing at this time because they respected the very commander.
"You said, can we seduce them to chase again?"
Cheng Huaiqian controlled the war horse with one hand and shot crossbow arrows at random with one hand. He was now a little far away from the barbarians. The effect of the crossbow arrows was not as good as the bow arrows. Unfortunately, only his teammate had bow skills. Even if his teammate burst out a new bow, without the technique, he couldn't shoot well, so he just concentrated on controlling the horse and shooting the crossbow.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, I think they are really out of strength."
Xia Ruize answered while continuing to draw his bow and shoot arrows. Following his teammate, he learned that he should not waste any attack opportunities. Now it was a very good attack opportunity. Of course, he could not waste it. "The small chief cannot be killed yet, but others can be killed. It's hard for the barbarians to have the effect of stimulating them to explode."
Cheng Huaiqian nodded in agreement, with a look of regret. To be honest, walking the enemy unscrupulously in the wilderness was also a novel experience for him. He was not tired yet, but unfortunately the enemy was not very powerful. It was really disappointing that the enemy was not strong enough to walk.
Turning his eyes, looking at the barbarians who fell on the ground motionless, Cheng Huaiqian suddenly proposed:
"Since they refuse to chase, let's get closer and attack with crossbow arrows to see if we can draw out the edge."
Xia Ruize looked at the barbarians who were lying on the ground and would not move their fingers even if they were attacked, and nodded in agreement.
Thus, in the horrified gaze of the Daxia cavalry, Cheng Huaiqian suddenly rushed towards the barbarian army.
