Sweep the World

Chapter 239: : Strongbow crossbow

Hundreds of heavy-duty riders slammed on their hoofs. Although they could not shake the mountain, their momentum was absolutely mammoth.

Formed into a gun formation, some timid people really want to escape if they don't see the surrounding companions calm down, facing the heavy cavalry that is rolling in. This has nothing to do with being timid, it is purely a survival instinct of human beings. But the timid are surrounded by people who look calm, and they will subconsciously hesitate, thinking: [The companions are insisting, then I also insist on it? 】

Who stipulates that a hero must be a bold person? Heroes are often born inadvertently, after a short period of hesitation, they become heroes (dead) before they react.

The real warriors will not hesitate, they face the horseshoes rolling in with a calm expression, um...because they are system soldiers.

The Dragon Guardian rushed in, and there were bursts of screams and screams in an instant, with a collision force of at least one ton. If it hits the spear, it is useless to have a piece of armor blocking it. It is directly pierced, but the next moment The rod of the spear will be broken, or the spear will be knocked and flew by too much force.

At the moment of the collision, the Dragon Guardian on the horseback was violently thrown out with a violent force, the mount was pierced into the body by a spear and the horse wailed, and the horse's head slammed down heavily.

One after another, the armored heavy knights were consumed. They may have died, but the knight who smashed forward cleared a clearing and disturbed the spear formation; the dead horse followed the forward force and really started Plowing the land, wherever it goes, must hit an area, or it will cause the Han army's formation to be chaotic.

Attrition Forty Cavaliers smashed away or disrupted the gun formation of the Han army. In the next moment, more Dragon Guards broke in. They lacked the threat of spears to exert greater power, but the picture they expected to see was not When it happened, the soldiers of the Han army fled without panic!

The rhythm is completely wrong, how can there be an infantry who is not afraid of facing a heavy cavalry charge?

The correct rhythm should be that the infantry panicked when facing the uniformed cavalry rushing into the formation, and ran around crying and shouting one by one, rushing into their own formation!

In fact, many Han sergeants were absolutely frightened to pee, shouting "mother" in their mouths or making unconscious whispers. After the terrible to the extreme, their whole bodies became stiff, causing them to freeze and stay in place, even because Too nervous can hold the spear in his hand with greater force.

Zhao Qian watched as a horse that had lost his master hit the robe in front of him, and waited until he had four hooves weakened and dragged his abdomen to the ground, like a palm in front of him. To a halt. At that time, he had to admit that he was really scared to pee, his crotch was wet, and his head was a little blank.

[Mother! ] Zhao Qian can swear that this is definitely not the first time he has been urinating on the battlefield. He actually urinated the first time on the battlefield. He subconsciously touched the head of the horse with the spear head, and the spear head collided with the armor piece on the forehead of the war horse and made a crisp sound [Thick iron armor? 】

Heavy clashes and exclamations were mixed together. The Dragon Guards rushed into the Han army's formation one after another. Although the Han infantry did not appear to be panicked, the Dragon Guards still plowed fiercely. I went in, and dashed straight in for nearly 120 meters before I lost my speed.

At the moment when the Dragon Guardian rushed into the battle, the Three Thousand Huren Qingqi was enjoying what is meant by dense arrows like raindrops.

Hu Ren Qingqi was scattered by crossbows at 450 steps (675 meters). In fact, there are only 50 crossbows, and the target that can be shot is just that, it is shot by a one-foot-long crossbow. The scene behind the target was tragic enough, even if the knight was shot into the air, the man and the horse were nailed directly to the ground and it was extremely cruel.

Three hundred steps (450 meters) are covered by strong crossbows. There are only seven or eight hundred strong crossbowmen on the Han side. They can cover an area of ​​about 300 meters at a time. The dense crossbow arrows are absolutely clear. Out of an area, the ground is full of crossbow arrows. People or horses that are on the surface and in the middle of the arrow are all crossbow arrows. Should the firing frequency of the crossbow be a wave of ten breaths (approximately 12 seconds)?

At two hundred steps (300 meters), the strong crossbow and the strong bow are covered together. At this distance, Hu Ren Qingqi seems to have stepped into **** mode, rushing forward one after another, but waves of arrow rain are covered. How much you rush forward is how much people turn on their backs.

Entering a distance of one hundred steps (150 meters), Hu Ren Qingqi is actually in a state of chaos, there is no formation, and some are just headless and gallop forward. They looked forward to rushing into the formation with various moods, but they entered the range of the continuous crossbowmen.

The continuous crossbowmen shot the crossbow arrows without stopping, so that the crossbow arrows in the midair flew sharply, one after another, and they even collided with each other in a dense degree.

The three thousand Huren Qingqi who were continuously covered by arrow rain, rushed to a hundred steps away from the Han army, but they had already lost at least eight hundred horses. No one paid too much attention when everyone was rushing forward. , The result is that the remaining two thousand two hundred riders or so rigidly cover the crossbow and continue to move forward.

Hu Ren Qingqi who stepped forward could not see what kind of situation he was facing, but Deng Heng could see clearly.

That is no longer a tragic description. The Huren Qingqi is galloping densely or scattered, and their forward rush seems to hit a barrier. The raindrops of crossbow arrows keep falling, and how many Huren Qingqi rushes are all hits. The barrier made up of crossbow arrows fell head-on, and gradually the corpses of people and horses were piled into a hill made of meat.

Originally, Shijie Zhao Jun, who had successfully rushed into the battle to cheer, stopped and yelled. The sights they see are different depending on where they are located, but they can always see arrows that are constantly being shot into the sky, causing the light to dim. How dense the arrows are. There is no need to look at the miserable conditions on the battlefield, everyone knows what kind of situation such dense arrow coverage will cause.

"Strongbow and Liannu?" Deng Heng smiled as if crying: "The information does not show that the Han army has so many crossbows, even the Liannu."

Most Shijie General Zhao Jun, they obviously have a lot of ideas at this moment, but their minds are completely blank.

If you have a crossbow, you can use a crossbow. If this thing does not have thousands of them, it will scare the recruits. The actual effect can only be displayed in a siege.

But... the existence of two things, Qiangnu and Liannu, is extremely terrifying.

The advent of the crossbow has changed the war. It is not about how far it has a range or how strong it is. It is because the formation of long-range troops can be greatly increased with the crossbow. All because the archers need long-term training, which can be taught by the crossbowmen. The crossbow can be lifted and fired after a period of time.

It is said that the crossbow has changed the war, that is historically recorded. Before the crossbow appeared, only the samurai with constant yield was qualified to join the army. The samurai did not usually produce, but only practiced martial arts, melee combat, and long-range bow shooting. Because of the need for professionalism, the number of troops repeatedly participating in the war was greatly reduced, and civilians basically did not participate in the war.

The appearance of the crossbow made civilians eligible to participate in the war. A warrior who has lived for decades, no matter how brave he is when facing a crossbow, he can be killed with a single shot of a crossbow, directly hitting the status of the warrior. Can be sent to the battlefield after a short training, then the number of participating in the battle will become more and more.

In time, before the crossbow appeared, there were already a large number of troops composed of two thousand warriors, but after the crossbow appeared, the door for civilians to participate in the war was opened, and the participation of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops became a common situation.

"The Han army has a crossbow, even a woman can fight with a crossbow." Cui Xuan's face is as gray as death: "At this time, it is no longer appropriate to count how many combatable soldiers Liu Yan has. As long as Liu Yan is willing to pull it at any time Create a sufficient force."

Deng Heng took a deep breath. The large-scale appearance of crossbows not only had that effect, but also indicated several things. The productivity of the Han army was far stronger than expected, and the cavalry no longer represented superiority.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling brought five thousand troops. Because there were enough crossbows and enough arrows, the result was that five thousand infantry troops resisted the attack of 30,000 cavalry and killed more than 10,000 cavalry until the arrows were exhausted. I had to drop. And this battle still happened in the plains!

The Dragon Guardian sank, Qingqi failed to break through the arrow formation to complete the subsequent impact, and Deng Heng's attempt failed.

Not only was the attempt failed, it can even be said that because of unexpectedness, only more than 600 Qingqi recovered in the end, and the rest were either killed on the spot or captured. It is equivalent to the stone jade on this battlefield that Zhao Jun could not rely on the rest. More than six hundred rides to seize the initiative.

"Withdraw!" Deng Heng's face turned pale: "I'm over, I'm over."

Cui Xuanyu said incoherently: "We are all over~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Your Majesty will definitely take our skin off..."

It is not the first time that Shihu has done the peeling, and he can definitely continue to do the peeling. Regardless of whether the stalemate can be maintained in the subsequent war, Deng Heng and Cui Xuan think they are dead. The difference is whether they can die more happily, and then whether their family members are not implicated.

The battle on the battlefield was over, Shi Jie and Zhao Jun took the initiative to withdraw the remaining troops, allowing the Han army to easily occupy the remaining camp.

It was Xu who ordered the cleaning of the battlefield and came to the forefront with Ji Chang, and they sent a literati Su Ding to surrender.

Su Ding was invited by Lu Yi in a letter from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Currently, he does not have a fixed position in the Han army, so he is regarded as a Zuolier.

Zuolao’s work is very complicated. Su Ding originally wanted to observe more before deciding whether to develop in the Han Dynasty. I just saw what happened on the battlefield, and I didn’t need any observations. He directly asked for the job of persuading surrender. I really want to work hard.

Su Ding rode forward as a single horse. In the past, he would worry that he would be shot to death without even having a chance to speak, but now he has full confidence, that is the confidence given by the troops behind him! (To be continued.)
