Chapter 70: Fighting
The sword in Zheng Bin's hand had just been pulled out halfway, and the arrow in Tie Tower's hand hadn't had time to shoot out. Yukichi stood at the very end of the line, a golden bronze sword glittering in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The old fellow had gray hair scattered over his shoulders, and a few drops of blood splattered on his face. Laughing like a demon crawling out of hell, the formation that had just shown some signs of collapse was immediately firm. No one dared to run backwards, for fear of becoming the next ghost under the sword.
It is clear that the Donghu people were more difficult to deal with than the Huns, and the ancestors of these Mongols were as cunning as wolves. They actually knew that the smoke was released, and the Donghu people in front of them were holding a ball of what looked like hay, and a long trail of smoke was dragging behind the galloping horses.
One or two weren't a big deal, but hundreds or thousands of these primordial smoke bombs were thrown on the ground. Yun Yue had a little headache, and the billowing smoke couldn't see the target at all. The power of the Yun family's bow and crossbow was greatly reduced, and the repeater crossbow, which had great lethality against the cavalry at close range, only fired one round. I had to stop firing, and the smoke was so thick that I couldn't see the target clearly. Shooting blindly with feeling is only a waste of arrows.
"Master Hou, what should I do?" The infantry captain was in a hurry all of a sudden, he never thought that the combat method that had always worked would actually fail. Now he is a little at a loss, the Yun family has always relied on the sharpness of the bow and crossbow. Now that the advantage is gone, it seems that the captains will not fight all of a sudden.
There was silence for a while, and in fact, Yun Yue didn't know what to do. The crossbow could not exert its power, and more than 5,000 people rushed in. There is no need to fight this battle, I believe it will not last until it gets dark. All the people here will be killed, and when Wang Jian arrives tomorrow, he can only see the ground. A corpse after being eaten by a wolf.
Just when Yun Yue was silent. An overwhelming barrage of rockets came in. The arrows were thrown through the smoke barrier. Didn't shoot anyone though. But the front end of the ox cart had many rockets fired at this rate. It won't be long before the ox carts will be set on fire. Yun Yue misses the fire trucks of later generations very much, but now where can she get a fire faucet.
"Shoot blindly in the direction the arrow is coming!" Yun Yue gritted her teeth and gave an order, this was also a way out of the way. It's good to shoot a man, and soon those ox carts will be on fire. At that point, the enemy cavalry will be able to close closer, and then both sides will be able to shoot blindly by feeling.
The advantage of the Donghu people is that there are many people. A covering projectile of thousands of people was extremely lethal to the Qin army. The advantage of the Qin army was that they had built cover in advance, perhaps to dodge the arrows. However, the small number of people could not form a covering shot, and it was not much of a threat to the Donghu people.
But time is on the side of the Donghu people, although these ox carts are strong in wood. But it will definitely not burn for a night, and now all the Donghu people want is to polish their swords and wait for it to be dark to make an impact on the convoy. At that time, the gods will not be able to save this convoy.
Yun Yue watched in pain as one rocket after another was thrown in, and some of the rockets that hit the carriage were extinguished. There is no way to extinguish what can be shot on the ox cart. Now get out of the cover of the tall carriage, and that is to seek death.
Several Qin soldiers held shields and tried to extinguish the fire. As a result, several fires were not extinguished. The shield then burned, in order to lighten the weight of the shield. It's all wood.
Rocket after rocket shot closely, although the Qin army counterattacked through the smoke barrier. But it didn't seem to have much effect, and the rocket kept shooting.
The efforts of the Donghu people finally paid off, and the ox carts began to catch fire sporadically. It didn't take long for the fire to start spreading. It was getting dark, and a bonfire was lit on the pure wood ox carts. The huge pillar of smoke rushed straight into the clouds in the last ray of heavenly light, and Yun Yue shook his teeth. It looks like the final moment is coming. Damn, if you want to die or live, you will fight his mother's game.
The sky was completely dark, and the Donghu people began to charge. They seemed to know the Yun family's tactics very well, and at the front of the line was a guy holding a wooden shield. He was followed by scavenger-like slaves with shovels in their hands. When I saw the pit, I filled it with a few shovels, and when I saw the triangular nails, I picked them up and put them in the basket behind them.
The ox cart gradually burned to the ground, and the sky-high fire turned into dark red ashes. As soon as the wind blew, a little spark burst out on the black wood.
The bolt shoots a bolt that hits a slave picking up a triangular spike. The more the Donghu people advanced, the greater the casualties they paid. They don't seem to care about casualties at all, these are all plundered Chinese slaves, even if they are shot to death, as long as they plunder some more.
Arrows flew over the wreckage of the ox cart and towards the people in the darkness, screaming one after another. The road was paved with corpses, and the slaves were still moving forward unhurriedly. It seemed that death had become numb to them, and they watched their companions fall to the ground and scream as if they could not see them. For them, death is no longer an unacceptable thing, but a double liberation of the spirit, the body, and the body.
When the triangular nails and the trap were mostly filled, the roar of thunder sounded again. One by one, the fierce cavalry Pegasus stepped over the ashes of the flames and rushed towards the Qin camp.
The tall carriages served as a barrier, which could somewhat block the onslaught of the cavalry. But the gap between the carriages and the carriages needs to be filled by people.
Zheng Bin raised the crossbow arrow in his hand and shot over a Donghu cavalryman, and then rushed into the carriage. took a long halberd thrown up by the bolt pillar and pointed it at the other Donghu cavalry.
The halberd stabbed the Donghu cavalryman in the chest, and the sharp blade stabbed through the gap in the ribs. The Donghu cavalry was also fierce, and he still clung to the halberd and didn't let go when he was dying. Zheng Bin pulled backwards violently, and half of his palm fell to the ground. A terrible scream followed.
Zheng Bin didn't take a breath before he raised his shield. There was a sound of ping-pong, and the shield seemed to be bombarded with a big man's punch. Almost instantly, it was filled with arrows, forcing Zheng Bin to jump out of the carriage and dodge the locust-like arrows.
The stone next to it was not so lucky, and the shield was erected a little late. Wu Duo, the size of a duck egg, flew over with a whistle that broke the wind, one hitting the cheek and the other hitting the brain. The brains were knocked out at that time, and when the person fell to the ground, he could only unconsciously twitch a few times. It's not good to call it, it's just called a stone. Finally died under the stones!
The tower is like a robot, hiding behind a carriage, picking up a bow and shooting arrows. For every arrow fired, there would be an additional corpse in the moonlight. He is like a sniper, constantly harvesting the lives of the Donghu people with arrows in his hands. A third of the entire defense line was held by him, otherwise it would have been broken by the Donghu people. Of course, he also became an attractor of feathered arrows. If it weren't for the sharpness of the armor, he would have been shot into a hedgehog long ago.
"Yunhou, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold out until dawn." Zou Yan looked up at the bright moon in the sky and sighed in his heart. I've been stargazing and divining all my life, why haven't I given myself a divination? Today, this old bone is probably going to be thrown away on this desolate grassland.
"It's useless to say this, it's right to fight like a man. Lao Tzu's life is not so easy to want, if you want to fill it with your life! Yun Yue gritted her teeth, picked up a halberd and walked to the front. There are not many times in this life when people are allowed to go out, and now may be the time when they should be out of the way.
The battle was heated from the start, and no strategy or tactics were fucking useless. What is particular about the white knife is in and the red knife is out, and the fight is who hates who can play harder.
Coming up was a group of fierce men, and these guys were very strong. The large, bald heads that were bare were unusually noticeable in the moonlight, and their necks were thick. The sharp Yun family saber can't cut off the human head with a single sword, but may jam the blade. A soldier of the Qin army with good skills died like this, and he paused like that. He was hit in the arm by the mace, and the bones immediately came out of the armor. Before the screams could stop, maces rained down on the head and body. When he was snatched by his brothers, his skull was shattered.
The best way to deal with such a guy is to use a throwing gun, a one-foot-long javelin with a whistle nailed into the chest. The Donghu people are so poor that they don't have armor at all, and they suddenly feel cold. The crossbow of the three-bow bed crossbow is a good throwing spear. It's just that there are not many soldiers with such arm strength.
Seeing that a defensive line was about to be broken through, the Qin soldiers were no match for these strong men at all. "Get out of the way" Yun Yue shouted violently, and the Qin sergeant retreated like a tide. The strong men did not pursue, but began to push the carriage with all their might, and as long as the carriage was demolished, the cavalry could easily rush in.
"Papa......!" These guys are really forgetful, and they forgot that the Yun family still has a ballista so quickly. It's bulky and has a short range. But it is very effective against these big giants.
The three-foot-long short spear was thicker than a finger, and Yun Yue concentrated five crossbows at this gap. Fifty bolts were fired in an instant, and the stout men became porcupines in no time. Covered with arrows, he fell to the ground.
Under the carriage, many Donghu sergeants were densely crowded, and they held their hands against the carriage. He tried to overturn the carriage, but unexpectedly, a jar of liquor was poured on his head. When the torch is thrown upon them in the Hereafter, the voice is not a man can shout.
Five or six burning men howled and fled in all directions, their own people running away from them as if they were running away from the plague. A few people who seemed to be elders couldn't bear to suffer this sin. Killing one person with one sword can be regarded as giving them a good time.
PS: As a Northeast man, the Dragon King can still drink two taels. I drank three taels yesterday, and when I woke up, I found that it was already the beginning of the day. With a drunken heart, I'll give you a chapter.,It's late to update! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! (To be continued.) )
