Chapter 293: Crossbowmen and Wild Goose Break Arrows
Liu Yu's tiger eyes flashed, and his tone suddenly became firm: "The best result is to shoot back and forth with them, stalemate, and make them feel that we have this strength, but there is nowhere to retreat, and we can only support it." Therefore, the key to this battle is to convince Ku Nan that we have used all our strength, and as long as he makes another impact, he can annihilate us completely! ”
He Wuji hurriedly said: "Then how can I make him believe this?" ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I want him to see that the person you are beating the drum behind is also going to join the battle, so that he can believe it!" ”
He Wuji suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I understand, if the enemy army sees us even beating drums going into battle, then it will definitely feel that we have done our best, and at this time, we will definitely attack, and before that, I want your front army to drag the other party's tentative troops and make a slightly unsupported appearance, right?" ”
Liu Yu nodded: "That's right." ”
Tan Pingzhi suddenly spoke: "However, even so, if we bring all the enemy troops over, can we eat these more than 10,000 cavalry?" You must know that we only have more than 1,000 centaurs, even if we kill more than 10,000 pigs, it is not so easy. ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "You will know in a while, as long as the Hun cavalry enters this barren grassland, don't think about going out again, everyone, please go back and arrange, everything will be done according to my banner!" ”
All the military academies gave a military salute in unison: "Order!" ”
Baoerji's speech has gradually stopped, and the wolf howl of the Hun cavalry is one after another, with a few terrible whistles, the Hun cavalry lined up in a line of width began to slowly accelerate, starting from the horse, gradually changing to trot, speeding up, so that the sprint, less than three hundred steps away from the infantry phalanx of the Beifu Army, those slaughterhouses full of corpses, their speed has also increased to the maximum, iron hooves rise, and the headless corpses lying on the ground, one by one, the flesh and blood are blurred, Mixed with the black earth.
The running Hun war horses, as well as the knights on the horses, were stimulated by the smell of blood in the air, their eyes became blood-red, and the howl was accompanied by a terrible wind, and they attacked the infantry phalanx of the Beifu Army, which seemed to be like a rainbow.
The tiger infantry of the Beifu Army, all of them had a cold glint in their eyes, the infantry held a long lance, raised it diagonally, and the infantry in the first row knelt directly on the ground, and the lance pole more than four meters long pointed unswervingly to the front, like a forest of steel, dense, even if the armor and cavalry were all equipped, when they encountered such a firm and dense lance array, they were afraid and did not dare to force the impact.
And the team leaders and the owners of the buildings standing at the front of the team gave a loud order: "Steady, steady!" ”
These firm orders made the rangefinders roar hoarsely: "The enemy is XX steps away!" "It's also becoming less scary.
Liu Yu stood behind five hundred first-line lance drivers, his position was a small earthen bag, about one person high, just so that he could see every move in front of him, the Hun cavalry had already bent their bows, the first-line riders stood on the stirrups, straightened up, and more than a thousand cold arrows, shining in the sun, pointed directly at the Beifu military formation more than two hundred steps away.
The corners of Liu Yu's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Crossbowman, geese walking!" ”
Sun quickly erected a yellow flag, and the ten infantry teams of five hundred people in front of the Beifu soldiers were stationed according to the standard pattern of infantry battle front and garrison, they were not lined up in a line, but staggered between teams, and the two teams were separated by about fifty steps, which was exactly the width of a team, and the front five were battle front teams, with long lances, and the five garrisons in the back were copied with a hundred refining iron swords, ready to step forward for hand-to-hand combat.
With the issuance of Liu Yu's order, after the gunners of the battle front team, suddenly each team rushed out of six or seven crossbowmen, they held repeating infantry crossbows in their hands, every three or four people stretched to one side, in the Hun cavalry war horses rushed out forty or fifty paces, the six or seven crossbowmen of each team just stretched out diagonally forward, opened on the side of the lance array, like two columns of geese flying in the sky, became a herringbone, the whole garrison before, are these crossbowmen.
Tan Pingzhi himself copied a repeating infantry crossbow, standing in front of the front team, more than ten crossbowmen had been deployed on both sides of him, his voice was like thunder, even in the howl of the Hun cavalry and the neighing of the war horse, it would still make every soldier behind him hear clearly: "Aim quickly, work in groups of three, shoot horses, prepare!" ”
The roar of the rangefinder echoed in front of the formation: "The enemy is one hundred and fifty paces away!" ”
Tan Yizhi's roar also sounded almost at the same time: "Shoot!" Three shots in a row! ”
As soon as his words fell, a sound of machine springs sounded, and the terrible roar of the crossbow bolts breaking through the air immediately overwhelmed the whistling wind, and more than two hundred crossbow arrows, at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, came in an instant, and even the Hun cavalry did not even have time to dodge.
A burst of horses' neighing sounded, and more than 40 war horses in front of them suddenly nailed more than ten crossbow arrows to the horse's neck and horse's head, and many of the war horses jumped directly to the ground, and more jumped around because of the severe pain, and the rider on the horse was directly lifted out.
The war horse that fell to the ground has become a natural obstacle, the Hun cavalry is in a line state of impact, the interval between the rear column and the front line is only twenty steps, this distance is almost in a blink of an eye, even if the Huns are superb in riding, it is inevitable that some people will bump into the war horse and cavalry in front of the ground, and the cavalry behind will also directly trip over the people and horses.
Because the Hun cavalry was impacting at full speed, falling out on the back of a horse moving at high speed, people fell directly into a dizzy situation, many people directly broke their necks, broke their internal organs, and died with a whimper, and the living people often fainted and could not get up again.
After the three consecutive crossbows flew over, the Hun cavalry had rushed within a hundred paces, and shot down more than 100 horsemen lying on the ground, while the cavalry behind either stepped over, or bypassed these unlucky ghosts, and continued to rush forward.
Tan Pingzhi laughed and shouted, "Crossbowman, back off!" ”
After the three arrows, the crossbowmen threw the crossbows in their hands to the ground, turned around and ran backwards, and the garrison behind them rushed to the front of more than ten sergeants holding shields, opening the big shields that were half a person high, and providing protection for these retreating crossbowmen upwards.
Borgie's voice sounded rudely in front of the front: "Shoot the arrows, shoot them!" ”
