Chapter 593 Archer Cavalry
You have to pick the softest persimmon!
However, more than a month has passed, and Xu Yang has not waited for the softest persimmon he wants.
There is no way. Although his reputation value is not on the regular reputation rankings, it has made great progress on the rookie list of new lords and has reached more than 8,000. In the eyes of other lords, he is definitely a "second-generation lord!"
Therefore, as long as you have done your homework and read the rookie reputation list, you will not attack his territory at all. Even if you lose one or two war orders, you must cancel the randomly launched territory war.
In the end, the persimmon Xu Yang can pick is still the original Demon Abyss Lord Jin Luo.
But it doesn't matter. With his current strength, as long as the opponent is not a lord on the reputation rankings, the result will be similar.
...
"Wow!"
A flash of white light passed, and the space changed again. A vast world appeared in front of him. The fragrance of green grass and the fishy smell of soil, mixed with some strange smell, penetrated into the nose, making people feel comfortable and uncomfortable.
Grassland!
This is the type of the other party's territory.
Xu Yang turned his eyes and saw a large group of buildings in front of him, with obvious fishing and hunting nomadic style, but there were high stone walls built around them, and there were towers with upgraded arrow towers and many guarding soldiers on the walls.
"Go!"
Before he could make a thorough observation, he saw the gate of the city gate opened, and a cavalry rode out and ran straight to this place.
Seeing this, Xu Yang simply ordered: "Infantry in front, archers in the back, ready to shoot!"
As soon as the military order was given, the troops immediately moved and soon formed a simple and practical infantry and bow array.
"Go!!!"
The array was deployed, but in a moment, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and a cavalry rode in, with a number of more than two or three hundred people, most of whom were lightly equipped Jurchen archers, and only in the center were twenty or thirty heavy cavalry with human armor.

Arms Introduction: One of the Later Jin Imperial Guards. During the Tiancong Period, Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty established Aliha Chaoha, the Eight Banners Cavalry Battalion, to select brave and skilled warriors from the Eight Banners Army to form an army to protect the royal family.
…
Three hundred Jurchen cavalrymen, led by thirty brave cavalrymen from the Yellow Camp, rushed straight towards Xu Yang.
The goal was clear, which was to fight guerrilla warfare and use the mobility of the cavalry archers to consume him who only had infantry.
Although the range of the cavalry archers was basically lower than that of the infantry archers, the Jurchens had the civilizational trait of "mounted archery" to make up for it. Coupled with the characteristics of the "brave cavalry", they were fully qualified to bleed the enemy.
This was also Jin Luo's usual defensive tactic. Not to mention that he had never failed, it was also tried and tested, defeating many Tongtian Tower lords who attacked his territory.
However…
"Shoot!!!"
Before the three hundred Jurchen cavalrymen who were rushing over bent their bows, Hua Mulan beside Xu Yang raised her gun and gave the order, and the 150 Mulan female archers moved together, shooting a rain of locust arrows into the sky.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Arrows rained down like rain, covering the sky and the earth. Before the 300 Jurchen cavalrymen who were charging at them could react, they were covered by the dark rain of arrows. In an instant, a bright red blood flower burst out, and people and horses fell to the ground, and there was wailing everywhere.
"Damn it!"
"Not good!"
"Retreat quickly!"
A wave of arrows knocked down more than 50 Jurchen cavalrymen, and instantly reduced the number of people by one-sixth. The remaining Jurchen cavalrymen and the leading Jurchen heroes were all dead, and they dared not charge again. They turned their horses around and fled for their lives.
However...
"Puff puff puff puff!"
Just as the horses turned their heads, before they could run, they saw locusts breaking through the air, and the rain of arrows covered them again. Dozens of Jurchen cavalrymen were unable to react in time, and they fell to the ground again, and corpses were everywhere.
"Such a long range?"
"Such a fast firing rate?"
"Must be a special unit!"
"Damn it!"
On the rear wall, a man gritted his teeth, watching the Jurchen cavalry, who had lost most of their personnel and fled in panic, and felt heartbroken, the pain was too much to describe.
The archer tactic is to rely on the superior mobility and range of the archers to continuously bleed and wear down the opponent, both of which are indispensable.
This also makes the archer tactic powerful and limited. It goes without saying that it is powerful. The harassment of an elite archer cavalry is enough to bleed the enemy to death, without paying any price or only paying a very low price.
But the limitation is really limited. Once the opponent has the advantage of mobility or range, the archer tactic will be invalidated immediately and can no longer be used.
Now is an example. With the characteristics of civilization and the characteristics of the unit, his Jurchen cavalry's archer tactic has been in power for many years and rarely failed.
But this time, the enemy actually brought more than a hundred special troops, whose range far exceeded his Jurchen archers, and whose rapid shooting and accuracy were even more terrifying. Before his Jurchen archers had time to attack, more than half of them were killed or wounded under the enemy's rain of arrows.
How could he fight this?
Jin Luo's face turned pale, and he immediately turned his eyes and said to the general with a stern expression beside him: "Hold it, no matter what, you must hold it for me!"
After that, regardless of the other party's reaction, he turned around and walked towards his town hall.
He was just a small lord, a small lord who was not on the reputation list. The entire territory had only five or six hundred cavalrymen. A batch was lost a month ago, and now another batch was lost. Although there were still three or four hundred people left, the real combat power was only a few dozen cavalrymen from the Yellow Cavalry Battalion.
Can such a force defend the territory?
Given the other side's troops that were about to advance and attack the city, Jin Luo had no confidence in his heart.
Not an opponent!
This damn second-generation lord, with the support of his parents' family, actually got more than a hundred special soldiers, and they were powerful archers with extremely long range and terrifying accuracy.
Under the suppression of these archers, the other side could attack the city unscrupulously. Except for a dozen towers, his side had no means of counterattack at all. Once they showed their heads, they would become the target of the other side's arrows.
Therefore, there was no other way but to ask for help, risking his life and fortune, and perhaps there was still some hope.
Jin Luo hurriedly left, passed through the town hall, and returned to the Wanmo Abyss to ask for help.
However, as soon as he left, he saw...
"Whew!!!"
A horse neighed, like a dragon rising up, and the formation separated, and a red shadow rushed out, like a wildfire, heading straight for the city gate.
