Chapter 10 The Brothers Rush with Lao Tzu

The Yun family guards rushed up after beating their horses, and they hung up the iron-tired crossbows in their hands. He drew his bow and fired at the Eastern European armies that poured in, and the bow and arrow were firing quickly. Dense wasp-like arrows smashed down like hail towards the Dongou soldiers.

The soldiers in the first row were defenseless, and they were smashed and lay down by the rain of arrows. The pillow corpse was filled with arrows, and in an instant it lost its life.

The powerful existential crisis made the Dongou soldiers also crazy, and they raised their protective bamboo shields and rushed out desperately. The front row also uses double-layered bamboo shields, which are smooth and curved. Arrows will be much less powerful when fired.

The double-layered bamboo shield can effectively resist the bows and arrows of the Yun family guards, and the bamboo shields of the guys in the front row are soon filled with dense arrows. Although some people still fell, it was a great relief compared to just now.

Goshawk was furious when he saw it, so he had to order more than a hundred Yun family guards to reactivate the iron-tire crossbow. The iron-tired crossbow is too slow, but it can effectively shoot through the shields of the Dongou people. At this time, the goshawk regretted a little, why didn't he insist on carrying a few three-bow bed crossbows.

In the past, the Yun family used such tactics, all of which were supplemented by a three-bow bed crossbow supplemented by a gunpowder crossbow. But in order to march quickly, the goshawk did not carry such a powerful killing weapon.

The goshawk was so anxious that it spun around, and the war horse under its crotch seemed to know its master's irritability. The horseshoe-encrusted hooves kept kicking on the ground, as if they were about to rush towards the Dongou army at any moment.

Many of the Eastern European armies had already managed to break out of the city gates, and the rain of arrows could not stop them from advancing at all. The Eastern European armies went crazy, they ignored the arrows. Stepping on the corpses of the robes, they have all been hungry and know what it is like to be hungry.

There are many ways to get killed, you can be hacked, shot or even burned. But you just can't starve to death. The starving people were miserable. Jiangnan has also had a famine, and they have seen those who are so hungry that they dare to steal food from wolves.

The strong survival instinct makes them fearless, and at the moment they are not afraid of death, not afraid of bows and arrows, and naturally not afraid of goshawks who are also going crazy.

"You guys, rush up and use grenades." The helpless goshawk had no choice but to roar and order several cavalrymen to rush forward. Use valuable grenades to stop the Eastern European Army from rushing out like a flood.

The Yunjia grenades are all made of pottery. In these years, although the power is amazing, it has fatal flaws. That is, it is not easy to transport long distances. And the gunpowder prepared by Yun Xiao is not explosives after all, and it can't blow up the cast iron projectile. The transportation shortcomings of ceramic grenades made the Yun family have to rely on accompanying some of them. On weekdays, the baby is not good, and I dare not use it without a military order. Yun Xiao thought about the difficulty of the goshawk's trip, gritted his teeth and collected a batch in the whole army, and reluctantly allocated two to each person. And keep it left and right so that they don't break in their leather bags.

Several horsemen heard the goshawk's order and galloped out like the wind. The grenade doesn't have to be a gunpowder crossbow, that thing can shoot very far. Grenades can only be delivered by humans.

Although the Yun family's armor was strong, it was dangerous to get close to a distance of dozens of steps. At this distance, Dongou crossbow arrows will still pose a threat to them. Besides, not every part of their bodies is covered with iron armor, and even if they protect their horses, they are one of the targets of arrows. There are not many war horses brought to Jiangnan this time, only more than 2,000, and they will have to become infantry when they are used up.

The guards kept themselves low, almost lying on their horses. The bows and arrows on the city wall were fired fatally, and the density was far greater than that of the Yun family guards. Ou Zhenyang transferred almost all the bows and crossbows in Shangsha City this time. The crossbowmen on the walls are as dense as an ant's nest. When it reached the crowded Cheng dΓΉ, many crossbowmen even stood on the arrow stacks. Regardless of the city wall below is more than ten zhang high. Selfless shooting.

Before a few guards could get closer, one of the horses fell to the ground. The horse was full of arrows. One of the crossbows hit the horse's eye, and the powerful bolt pierced through the horse's eye. Shot directly through the horse's head, the war horse, which was already covered in bruises, finally couldn't support it.

The knight on the horse, though not wounded by the shot, was also broken. This guy was thrown out and fell to the ground and rolled countless times. Wait until you calm down. He can only lie on his back on the ground. There was blood in his mouth, and he didn't know how many ribs he had broken.

The guards next to him didn't care about their robes at this time, and their horses were also injured. It's just that he's not as unlucky, and the crossbow goes straight into the horse's brain.

The wounded horse was frantic in pain, but the tense muscles held back the blood flowing. It also allows them to hold on a little longer. Rush to fifty steps. This is the ideal throwing distance for grenades. The guards pulled out the grenades that were about to be crushed in their hands and wiped them lightly on the saddle.

Brilliant sparks flashed and they threw grenades with all their might. "Boom", "boom", "boom", with the sound of thunderous explosions. Lead and iron nails flew together, and countless sharp small metals were stirred by the power of the gunpowder explosion. Shoot at the unprepared Dongou soldiers.

"Ahh The screams sounded abruptly, and the tragedy was enough to describe as creepy. Many of the soldiers covered their faces, their hands covered with wounds. Blood continued to flow from their fingers, and these people rolled on the ground in pain, but the Dongou soldiers behind them continued to rush forward.

Before that, they already knew that the Han army had a terrible weapon that made a thunderous sound. They are mentally prepared for this, and they are given the order to push the front from behind. If one person falls, he will be trampled to death by his own people without the enemy's sword being replenished.

The Dongou soldiers in the back pushed away the people who were screaming and struggling in front of them, and continued to want to rush forward. This kind of tragedy could not break their psychological defense.

The Yun family guards were in big trouble here, and two Yun family guards wanted to turn their horses and run back. But the horse under him had been stimulated by the pain and lost his mind. They screamed, angrily leading their owners towards the black-pressed crowd.

The helpless Yun family guards could only draw their sabers and slash left and right the moment the war horse rushed into the crowd. But there were only two of them, and the two riders bubbled in the water like a splash and disappeared. "Boom" and "boom" two loud noises sounded in the crowd, and the goshawk clearly saw that one hand was flying high, presumably the two brothers had a grenade at the last moment.

The goshawk was blinded, and went to eight people and came back five. The Eastern European Army only paused slightly, and then continued to rush out. Do you still have to fill it with the lives of your brothers again and again?

"Damn, it's out. Give it to Lao Tzu again!" In the face of the swarming Dongou army, Goshawk had no choice but to order his soldiers to continue to charge. Approaching a distance of fifty paces, throw grenades to stop the enemy's advance.

The Dongou army is crazy, and the Yun family guards are also crazy. After so many years of fighting, the most dangerous thing is this battle, and every time you charge, a few cavalrymen can't come back. The arrows on the city wall shot like water, but the Yun family guards did not carry Ma Kai for the sake of the march.

This fatal mistake caused a lot of injuries to the horses, and even the horses that came back were mostly injured.

The goshawk was gritting its teeth for support, and it had already survived at noon and afternoon. It's past midnight now, just hold on a little longer. By dawn, at most in the morning, Yunxiao would appear with a large group of infantry. But can you really make it to that moment?

Some regretted driving all the wagons full of fire oil over if they let them rush into the crowd. A person who runs and screams with fire must have a greater impact than a grenade. Maybe that can make the Dongou army collapse, and there is no need to fight such a dense formation. Let them trample on their own and many people will die.

Although grenades were used, more and more Dongou soldiers poured out. The sound of explosions one after another did not break their nerves, but from time to time they could kill some of the Yun family guards who rushed in, and let them lift their spirits.

The horses that rushed in frantically were stabbed down by spears, and then countless spears stabbed at the knights. The terrible howls and the flying blood irritated people's nerves. The smell of blood can always be exciting, and the most important thing is that the Dongou soldiers see hope.

It turns out that the samurai who wore black-armored oxen would also be killed, and they would also howl and roll on the ground in pain when they were wounded. They are also human beings and can also be killed. That was enough, and the Dongou soldier grabbed the weapon in his hand and rushed forward like crazy with red eyes.

The carriage full of stones did a little bit of a good job, and the Dongou army that rushed out of the city gate still had to rush along a narrow corridor for a while.

It was this short distance of more than twenty paces that made the Yun family guards see hope. They can drop bombs at a greater distance with far fewer casualties. The bows and crossbows of the Dongou army are very primitive, and the power of the range of more than 100 paces is greatly reduced. Unlike the Yun family's compound bow, it can shoot a distance of three hundred steps casually. And it also guarantees power.

The goshawk's blue eyes were almost red, and the Dongou army was still pouring out like a tide. But the grenades are being consumed in large quantities, and both sides are grinding. In the fight for attrition, one side is to use grenades to add human lives. The other side is purely human life.

Looking at the surging Dongou soldiers, a guard chief hurriedly said: "Master Win, send a signal to Little Bear Master, and let him divide his troops to support us." Otherwise, we can't stop them at all! ”

"Don't fuck nonsense, Lord Hou's military order is to block the king of Don'ou. What if the king of Dongou comes and runs away from that side? Sue you, stop the king of Dongou from eating and drinking spicy food. I can't stop it, and you can't find the grave when you cry.

Listen to the damn thing, the cavalry lined up and prepared to charge. Let these southern barbarians see how powerful the Yun family's iron riding is, who the hell is strained at this time. Lao Tzu gave him a bowl with a big scar. ”

The goshawk pulled out the saber with a "swish", and the cold light of the silver moon reflected back on the saber. The goshawk on the horse had a hideous face, and its pale blue eyes were already red.

"Today is not to kill all the Nanban, so that future generations will remember our name. It is to cross the battlefield of corpses, and let my children and grandchildren avenge us. Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu! ”

The galloping war horses were like rolling thunder, and the snow swords rushed forward like a forest wind. (To be continued......)
