Chapter 538: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (69)

"Buzz~~~" The furious sound of a swarm exploding a nest suddenly came out. The sound of the dense bowstring vibrating was buzzing in the ears of the people.

In the Jin** array, a rain of arrows like locusts suddenly appeared in the sky, and its density was like a dark cloud covering the top. The black press pierced the sky, covering the new annexes who fled.

Wanyan Zongwang is known as the first general of the Jurchens, and has experienced hundreds of battles in his life, how rich is his experience on the battlefield? As soon as the new annexes in front showed a little intention of fleeing, he immediately ordered a rain of arrows to cover them. It didn't matter to him how many people died, but he must not let this momentum of collapse continue to expand.

Arrows like barren grasslands appeared on the ground in an instant, which made the new annexes who were lucky not to be shot slump to the ground in fright. His face was pale, his legs trembled slightly, and he even had wet pants. At least hundreds of the routed new vassals were pinned to the ground by this rain of arrows!

The blood that flowed from Bobo began to gather into a river, and his body was filled with corpses like hedgehogs with arrows scattered in all directions. A handful of new vassals who were not yet dead lay on the ground crying wolves, releasing the last light and heat of their lives like heartbreaks.

"Go back! Get back!! The generals, who had been frightened too much, began to shout at the fleeing new annexes, punching and kicking them back to their original positions. But there are still those who have no vision, and they don't say any more nonsense, and they just cut them down!

These are all alien new vassals for the Jurchens, and they don't want to do this. Those generals are also members of their own people. Only, now on the battlefield! There are enemy troops in front, and there are warlords in the back, and the side of this formation has given a warning just now, if you dare to continue to escape, it will definitely be a dead end!

The frightened new annexes ran back to their positions. A rout that was just showing signs was quickly stopped.

"Hush." Gao Yang slowly instigated the war horse to move forward, looked at the golden ** array in the distance, and tilted his head slightly. Snorted disdainfully, "The reaction is quite fast." ”

The ground was muddy, and after so many sergeants in front of it trampled on it, it was even more difficult for the whole ground to get off their feet. In the entire Changsheng army's array, except for Gao Yang and the guards around him, all the cavalry led the horses on foot. This is to preserve the physical strength of the war horse, after all, the battle has just begun at this moment.

Horses are actually very delicate creatures, and war horses are even more squeamish. The kind of large-scale cavalry charge in the movie looks very shocking and very refreshing. But in reality, it is very difficult to do.

With at least hundreds of pounds of knights and so many items on his body, the time that a war horse can be used for a high charge is actually very short. Once the energy is exhausted. Then the war horse will be wasted. Cavalry without horses is inferior to infantry.

Under normal circumstances, when the two armies are actually on the battlefield. There will be no cavalry to consume the physical strength of their horses before they charge, that is their destiny. Even before the battle, you have to feed some water and concentrate.

Wanyan Zongwang's response was very fast, but he lost the first-mover advantage after all. The crossbow array of the victorious army had already moved forward and been in position when the new annexes were panicking, and had completed the preparations for the salvo.

It is recorded in the history books that the divine arm crossbow takes the mountain mulberry as the body, the sandalwood as the bow, and the iron as the gun chamber. Steel is the machine, the hemp rope is the string, and the silk is the string "shoot three hundred steps, through the heavy load." ”

As the pinnacle of bow and crossbow craftsmanship in the Cold Weapon Era, the Divine Arm Crossbow is equipped with a sophisticated mechanism that can be shot by one person. And the firing range can reach more than four hundred meters! This range is definitely perverted in the era of cold weapons. What's even more exaggerated is that the crossbow arrows shot by the Divine Arm Crossbow still have amazing penetrating power even at a range of more than 400 meters, and the crossbow arrows can penetrate the elm wood half an arrow!

Armed with shovel-shaped armor-piercing arrows, the Divine Arm Crossbow can destroy any heavily armed army! The English longbowmen, who were blown into the sky in later generations, were far behind in front of the crossbow of the gods. This crossbow array is Gao Yang's killer weapon!

Pull the spring, put the arrow, lock the buckle, raise the crossbow arrow and aim at the golden ** array in front. Numerous generals cheered the recruits and calmed their restless tension. Waiting for the order to shoot.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was very tense, and it was impossible for anyone to smile indifferently at the dense array of troops with bows and crossbows ready to shoot at them. The panicked Jin army front, those new annexes began to mess around under pressure.

"Hum~~~" A panicked new annex hurriedly shot the sharp arrow in his hand under the heavy pressure. The chain reaction is stirred up in a very short time. Almost all of the new annexes shot their arrows.

But they are too far away! The rain of arrows, which looked spectacular, struck the ground after streaking across the sky, but it was still far from the crossbow array of the victorious army. The gap in range is too great.

Most of the crossbowmen on the side of the victorious army were recruits, and they were also very nervous in the face of such a big scene. Seeing the rain of locust arrows overwhelmingly coming, some frightened recruits immediately closed their eyes nervously, and their hands trembled and wrenched the machine spring, and with a sound of "poof~~~", the crossbow arrows were stirred out.

The same ripple effect. "Oooo~~~" The sound of dense bows and crossbows sounded intensively, and a whole wave of arrow rain flew into the sky, like a downpour, baptizing the new annexed troops in the front of the Jin Army.

This rain of arrows is different from the previous Jin Army's main formation. The Divine Arm Crossbow can shoot multiple arrows with one arrow, and the large array of crossbowmen of more than 10,000 people shot down in one volley, and the overwhelming rain of arrows almost instantly collapsed the front formation composed of the newly annexed army.

In order to maximize the power of the dense bow and crossbow, the archers will generally get closer to each other when forming a battle formation, which is to form a dense rain of arrows and give the enemy maximum firepower coverage.

In the same way, it is extremely dangerous to discharge such a battle formation when facing the enemy's rain of arrows. What's more, this time they are facing a divine arm crossbow that can still aim at the target, and the hit rate is higher than that of the bow and arrow!

After the baptism of the rain of arrows, the new annexed army was lost by half almost instantly! The rest were all frightened, and this time they didn't care about the Warlords. Looking at the tragic scene in front of them, the new annexes who were still alive all threw away their weapons like crazy, let out an inexplicable howl from their mouths, and fled in all directions again.

In the era of cold weapons, the battlefield casualties reached three achievements, which can definitely be regarded as a tragic battle. What's more, at this moment, their battle losses have far exceeded this standard!

This time, Wanyan Zongwang did not give the order to kill. Because he had seen that there was simply no way to stop this collapse. The fighting spirit of those new annexes is too low, and they can't bear it at all in the face of tragic casualties, and even if they are killed, they will be killed in vain.

What's more, Wanyan Zongwang now needs a large number of new vassals to fight for him. Killing too much will make the new annexes centrifuge. When people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead. It's on the battlefield right now!

If it were placed on weekdays, the killing decision, even the Wanyan Sect, who was very indifferent to the lives of their own soldiers, would definitely not spare them. It's just that at this moment, there is still Gao Yang and his victorious army on the other side!

The new annexes in the front line were dispersed. The new annexes who scattered and fled ran to both sides with a little brain, and those who had no brains or eyes directly turned around to attack the main formation, and were naturally killed by those armor soldiers.

His brows were furrowed, and Wan Yan Zongwang, who had an ugly face, clutched the horsewhip in his hand. The sudden appearance of the large array of crossbowmen on the opposite side made him very angry and frightened. It's so powerful!

At this moment, the crossbowmen began to return to their positions and reinstall their crossbow arrows. It won't be long before they can start shooting at the armorers in their own formation when they move forward again. If you continue to fight like this, you will lose!

Wanyan Zongwang didn't wait any longer. He immediately ordered the whole army to attack and force it up to render the crossbow array useless. Make full use of your superiority in numbers and combat power to strangle the victorious army.

The rumbling of war drums was loud. With the shouting and scolding of the generals at all levels, the mountain-like Jin army array began to move forward with boundless momentum. The heavy footsteps on the ground are like a mountain god beating a drum, and the hearts of the people are stirred.

"Here we are." Gao Yang lowered his eyelids slightly, took a deep breath, and looked solemn on his face. He breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes and stared at the golden ** array that was rushing forward with boundless coercion in front of him, and nodded heavily.

Reaching for the armor, the metal gloves struck the armor with a dull sound. The surrounding cavalry all began to mount their horses and dress up, ready to attack at any time.

"The front line is shooting, and the Chinese army is ready to meet the enemy." Gao Yang turned his head sideways and said to the guards on the side.

"Command." The guard immediately saluted, took out a black, small square brick from the hanging bag on his horse, put it to his lips and began to shout.

That's right, this is the walkie-talkie! This thing is much stronger than playing flags, beating drums and beating gold. Coupled with the high-powered military telescope in Gao Yang's hand, as well as the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that is closely monitoring the entire battlefield in the sky at the moment, Gao Yang can quickly grasp the dynamics of the battlefield.

The crossbowmen in the front line of the victorious army, who had reinstalled their crossbows, raised their bows and crossbows again. This time, it was a wave of stragglers who rushed up from behind the Jin country's main formation.

Wanyan Zongwang's name is not called in vain. That crossbow array was extremely powerful, and he wouldn't let those armorers in his formation go to the rain of arrows. When the army array was advancing, a new cannon fodder unit had been pulled out of the reserves, and a group of Jurchen soldiers were used as escorts, running lightly across the main formation, and went straight to the crossbow formation of the victorious army.

A dense rain of arrows rose into the air, streaked across the sky and enveloped the stragglers who were hurrying forward. It looks very imposing, but the actual effect is far less than the previous round of shooting.

This time the target was the skirmishers, and they scattered very widely. Although the rain of arrows also killed and injured a lot of gold ** soldiers, the effect was not obvious.

Gao Yang, who looked solemn, frowned, watched the stragglers of the Jin Kingdom who were running fast all the way approaching the crossbow formation, and after groaning slightly, he immediately ordered, "The crossbow formation retreats behind the main formation." The main formation stepped forward, ready to engage. (To be continued.) )
