Chapter 214: The Power of the Javelin and the Dollar Crossbow
Without warning, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was galloping forward, suddenly raised a spear-like weapon, and with the sprint of horsepower, with a vicious and mocking expression, he threw the weapon in his hand with all his might!
"Instigation~"
"Instigation~"
"Instigation~"
The Xiliang Iron Rider at the arrow of the front row suddenly let the javelin in his hand scream through the sky, and in an instant, the rows of sharp javelins were like a round of death rain, drawing a cold and strange arc in the air, dragging the scream of death, and coldly descending on the Qiang warriors who were still trying to speed up.
"Impossible! How could they have thrown their weapons at them!? ”
The leader of Faqiang was taken aback, and his brows jumped sharply, this~~ It seems that it is not the usual tactics of Xiliang Iron Riding that he is familiar with! In the impression of the leader of Faqiang, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry always relied on a powerful cavalry formation to charge from the front, crushing all the recalcitrant enemies to pieces, when did they have the habit of throwing their weapons before charging?
What else can they do without their weapons?!
But the cold facts told the leaders of the Qiang tribe that these Xiliang iron horsemen were not throwing their weapons. And nothing more than a disposable recyclable javelin. And, even worse, they still seem to be throwing endlessly!
The leader of Faqiang clearly saw that the Xiliang iron cavalry in front of him had just finished throwing, and as soon as they bent over, the robes behind them didn't even look at it, and directly threw the javelin in their hands! And in the blink of an eye, I found that those Xiliang Iron riders in front of me actually had another javelin!
"Two shots, no, two throws! When did this Xiliang Iron Rider be equipped with such a sharp weapon?! The leader of Faqiang panicked, although he had never thrown javelins, but he could imagine that those damned Xiliang Tie rode on the back of a galloping horse and threw javelins, and even a sturdy wooden shield could not stop its piercing, let alone his own warriors who were only wrapped in fur?
Sure enough, a Qiang warrior who was charging forward watched in horror as a spear fell from the sky, the sharp three-edged tip of the spear quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, and before he could come back to his senses, the spear had pierced into his left eye, penetrating his entire skull, and the remnants of the momentum brought his body down and nailed to the ground.
A poor Qiang warrior was lucky enough to avoid a javelin throw, but his horse under his crotch was not as lucky as he was, and he was stabbed with two javelins. Under the severe pain, the war horse raised its hooves and neighed, and lifted the Qiang knight off the horse, and in an instant the poor Qiang warrior was trampled into pulp by the war horse that swept behind.
There is also an experienced Qiang warrior, who has been galloping with the war horse in front of him. Seeing that the knight in front of him was dead, he immediately harnessed the horse's head and let the horse follow the other knight again. But at this moment, a javelin fell from the sky. He instinctively grabbed a horse companion in front of him, but he forgot that it wasn't an arrow, but a javelin! A sharp spear struck with the cold of death, and with the crisp sound of cutting through the flesh and bones, it easily pierced the chests of the two of them.
For a time, the javelins flying in the sky were like life-locks from hell, nailing the Qiang warriors who were charging forward to the ground. During this period, the splashes of blood, the broken limbs and the neighing of the war horses formed a tragic picture. Countless Qiang knights who swarmed down were trampled by the later war horses, but as more and more knights died in front of them. The charge of the Qiang warriors was stopped by Shengsheng!
"Split up in two columns and besiege from the flanks!" The leader of Faqiang shouted loudly, he firmly believed that as long as his warriors could enter the front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the victory would definitely belong to him!
The quality of those scimitars has been personally tested by the Qiang chieftain: it can easily break the ring head knife of the Han army, and when it falls into the hands of the brave and warlike Qiang warriors, it is the sharp claws of the eagle!
As soon as the words fell, those horse warriors who had been blocked by the war horses and robes in front of them grabbed the horse's head, and instantly split into two strands like torn cloth, vainly trying to outflank Pang De's army left and right!
And Pang De just sneered, and with a big knife move in his hand, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry still continued to charge like an arrow off the string. But when those Qiang warriors were still 200 steps away from each of them and had not completed the outflanking and rushing to kill, they saw the playful expression of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry again......
"Ah~~~~"
"Oops~~~~"
"What's that! ......”
"What's that?! Holy shit, can anyone tell me what the hell that is?!! The leader of Faqiang was like crazy at this time, grabbed a warrior next to him and roared!
"Chief, that seems to be a Han Chinese crossbow??" The warrior looked at the crossbow arrows, which were ten times denser than the previous javelin, and said hesitantly......
"Cavalry with crossbow arrows? Are you fucking kidding me?! The Faqiang leader's eyes were red, and he clearly saw that those Xiliang Iron Horsemen had picked up their crossbows again at some point, and shot wildly at their warriors!
For some reason, the two wings of the five thousand cavalry actually shot crossbow arrows no less than those of the 30,000 army! In an instant, those horse knights who were still charging were shot into a hedgehog before they could react! The huge body of the war horse is full of crossbow arrows, and the blood flows like a note, as if the entire body suddenly burst inside, like a fountain spraying blood!
In the short time that the war horse ran fifty paces, the two thick outflanking lines under his hands were sparse! As far as the eye can see, corpses are scattered all over the field, wailing......
"Good, good, only a hundred steps! It's too late to load the arrows in the crossbow machine, as long as we ......" As soon as the leader of the Faqiang in the rear said this, his voice seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and his face turned red and purple, and he couldn't say a word!
I saw that those Xiliang Iron Riders did not load their crossbow arrows at all, but simply pulled the bowstring, and then started a new round of shooting!
When Ma Chao asked the arsenal to invent the Yuan Rong crossbow, he took this problem into account, this Zhuge crossbow can be said to be a semi-automatic bow and crossbow, equipped with a crossbow arrow box, after the first batch of five crossbow arrows are launched, the second batch of crossbow arrows in the arrow box will be automatically filled into the crossbow arrow slot under the action of angle and gravity......
The leader of Faqiang closed his eyes in despair:
Slaughter!
Utter slaughter!
Without the protection of the shield, the Qiang warriors, and the lack of archers to cover them, became the best target for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and before the two armies collided, their warriors had already lost nearly a third!
Moreover, what is more serious is that such a killing has scared the courage of the warriors, and some Qiang warriors have been frightened and unable to control their war horses, screaming and falling off their horses. Some knights thought of running away, but under the rapid charge, the slightest panic of the thought would immediately be knocked away by the swarming companions behind......
Finally, finally...... It's finally a hand-to-hand fight!
The eyes of the leader of Faqiang were round, and Liang Xing, who was in the distance with his mouth open and couldn't close it, also looked at the three flying black lines with a demented expression......
These three lines, like the bait withdrawn by the Grim Reaper, gambled the lives of both sides in exchange for the smile of the Grim Reaper, under an invisible temptation. And now it seems that the Grim Reaper obviously smiled a little more at the two cavalry lines of Faqiang.
What's even more odious is that when the Faqiang warriors saw the face of the Xiliang Iron Rider, they seemed to clearly see the smile of death: it was a look with a touch of banter and mockery......
