The range of the Han army's crossbow is far more than thirty steps, but more than thirty steps will not have any lethality, and the soft and fluttering crossbow arrows may be able to shoot people but definitely not kill people, so it is better not to shoot. In addition, the crossbow is a three-shot burst, and it is not easy to reload after shooting, so it is the most correct way to use it after shooting 30 paces, after all, there is no possibility of reloading in an engaged position.

The sound of a crossbow fired is not the same as the sound of an arrow fired from a bow, but the sound of an arrow breaking through the air is not different.

Only the leading part of the Han cavalry can fire crossbow arrows, and after they finish shooting, they will move their horses to both sides on their own, in order to naturally make room for the back robe to fill the position before shooting.

The crossbow arrows are relatively short, and the sound of breaking the air is much sharper, and a burst of "Xiu Xiu-" breaking sound is approaching, and the galloping Hu cavalry all immediately pressed their bodies tightly against the neck of the horses, hoping to lower their bodies to avoid the crossbow arrows that come from the shooting.

From the periphery, the two cavalry teams, one in front and one behind, constantly have small poles in the Han cavalry team chasing behind, and they shoot at the Hu cavalry in front at a very rapid speed. The Hu cavalry team running in front is the tail part of the person who is constantly being shot by the small black dots that "bite" the man or horse, and the tail part is "cut" shorter and shorter in the gallop.

The companions behind continued to let out screams, stimulating all the Hu people to subconsciously urge the war horses under the seat to increase their speed, and their companions who were either because of the arrows in the people or the arrows in the horses As long as they fall to the ground, even if they are not dead for a while, they will be trampled into pulp by the Han cavalry team galloping behind and become a part of the earth.

One side was in a panic and controlled the war horse to flee at an accelerated pace. On the other side of the spectrum were pursuers who were about to reach the critical point of maximum speed, and the distance between the two sides gradually began to widen during the movement.

The endurance of the Longxi horse breed cannot be said to be very poor, and the advantage of the Hetao horse breed is not in the high-speed gallop, but the side that accelerates first must have suffered a loss on the body, and the Han cavalry chasing behind ran for more than two miles, and the speed dropped significantly. The corners of the mouth of the war horse under the seat of the Han cavalry also had white spittle, if they continued to drive their lives to step on their hooves at high speed, the war horse would definitely be wasted.

The horn sounded, and Qin Jia was the first to slow down, and when he slowed down to a certain distance, he shouted, "Change horses!" ", and approached the spare horse with the reins. Then the very neat feet did not fall to the ground, and then the convenience of the stirrups and Takahashi saddle was changed to the full body of the new mount on the back of the horse.

The rest of the Han soldiers basically shouted "change horses", and then according to the training, they first pulled the spare horses into an almost neck-to-neck position, stepped on the stirrups on the side of the other war horse with one foot, and then stepped over and sat firmly.

Not all Han cavalry could accomplish that. After all, training is one thing in peacetime, and another thing in wartime, some Han cavalry did not fall steadily for various reasons, and it was not for nothing that they were directly trampled into rag bags by the hooves of passing horses, and there were also those who were pulled by the reins and held on the ground.

A horse change action while rushing fell down twenty or thirty Han cavalry, Qin Jia, who looked back, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he didn't regret giving the order to transfer, but he was distressed about the mistakes that would occur every time. This is not the first time they have made such tactical moves. But that kind of thing happens every time, and some of them are still very good soldiers with a very good training schedule, and I really don't know what to say.

In wartime, it is necessary to change horses and gallop during the wartime rush. After all, if you stop and change horses in the process of fighting, it is one of them to lose the opportunity to continue the pursuit, and more importantly, sometimes time is life, and it is easy to be bitten if you stop and do not move.

The more than 2,000 cavalry led by Qin Jiaqin, who had re-put on his body and abundant war horses, resumed his attitude of pursuit, because they were newly transferred mounts, and they were able to maintain a high and stable speed under sufficient body. The enemy troops on the other side, however, did not change their mounts and were still tired, and gradually brought them closer together.

Of course, the Hu cavalry to which Touman belonged also knew that the war horses under the seat were tired, and it was time to change. But there were Han troops behind them who had caught and shot them for a while, and there were also Han troops on the left and right who were constantly approaching. How dare they stop or slow down to change gear? He could only ride a tired war horse, and then gallop lifelessly in the direction of the friendly army, and the horn in the team to summon his companions to come over to help was also blown one after another.

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than 100 paces, and seeing that the tired mounts should be caught before they could join up with their companions, the leader of the Hu people, who commanded the cavalry, gritted his teeth and gave the order to keep galloping at high speed and change horses.

The order, of course, relied on the mouths of the people to be repeated one after another, and most of the Hu people who heard the change of horses at high galloping speed were in an uproar. Their current speed is about forty miles, and it is not like the Han army has stirrups to borrow, and there is no Han army's kind of high-bridge saddle that can stabilize the body when transferring, so it is extremely dangerous to transfer at such a fast galloping speed.

After giving the order, the commander of the Hu people took the lead in pulling the spare horse to a side-to-neck posture, his mouth bit the hilt of the weapon, first his legs tightly clamped the belly of the current mount, and then leaned slightly to hold the back of the other spare horse with one hand, and then twisted his body and grabbed the mane on the neck of the spare horse, and very carefully clamped the legs of the horse's belly, and then he took off into the air.

Successfully changed to the back of another war horse, Commander Hu Ren was also greatly relieved, but when he spit out that breath, he suddenly remembered that the horn bow and quiver were on the side of the neck of the tired war horse!

It took another toss to get back the horned bow and quiver, but the near-death screams that the Hu people's command ears heard were too frequent? He looked back, some of the subordinates who were changing at high speed fell off the horse's back, and saw with his own eyes that a subordinate fell to the ground and was dragged upside down by the reins, making endless miserable screams, or a war horse behind him stepped on the unlucky man's head with his huge hooves to give a happy feeling, but it was absolutely inevitable that the unlucky man's head became a broken watermelon.

Qin Jia's eyes were always staring at the enemy army in front of him, and he was really frightened when he saw the enemy army galloping at high speed and making tactical moves to transfer, because none of the group that took the lead in transferring at the beginning fell. Just when he thought that the Hu people were all so fierce, his thoughts had not yet taken shape, and he finally saw that the Hu people who followed the transfer fell a lot.

Dare to be the first must be the kind of person who is bold and bold, and the first batch of Hu people who follow the command to transfer belong to the category of those who have courage and ability, and then those who follow the trend are nothing more than seeing that their companions can succeed and have the courage to do it, but the result is naturally doomed if the ability is not good.

Not all Hu people dare to change in high-speed galloping, just like if the Han army is not bound by military discipline, if they do not obey orders, they will die as if they fall, the difference is only that one is executed afterwards in accordance with military law, and the other is killed on the spot by falling off the horse. The Hu people are not bound by strict military law, the bold people have already done it, and a group of people who have followed the trend have died, and the Hu people who have not done it in the back simply do not dare to change to the tired war horse, and the result is that the Hu people in the gallop are slowly stretched into two parts because of the different posture of the war horse.

The Hu people who gradually distanced themselves from the front were naturally extremely anxious, and when the first Hu people who dared to lower their speed to transfer appeared, there would be a second, third, and fourth ...... And then it became very much. As soon as they reduced their horse speed, they would naturally be approached by the Han army chasing behind, and the first to approach was the Han army on the left, and after approaching, of course, there was an endless burst of crossbow shooting, and then the battlefield sounded "The Han army is mighty!" The shout, and in a moment there was a hand-to-hand fight.

Qin Jia did not go to get involved in the battle of the group of enemy troops who were caught, the Hu people there were caught when they were transferred, the Han army was destined to take advantage of the boss, and the Han army was already approaching the contact battle with the Hu people, his cavalry was inserted from behind, if he joined the battle, it would only block the way forward of his own robes, so it was better to move a little from the side and continue to chase the other group of enemy troops.

The facts also proved Qin Jia's judgment, the Han cavalry approaching from the left did not stay in place once the short hand was connected, they were swinging the horse chopping knife in their hands in the high-speed gallop, whether they were split or not, they were galloping at speed without dropping, and the trend of rushing forward was naturally in a straight line, if Qin Jia really led people to join the attack, it should be two groups of Han cavalry blocking each other's way, and the result would inevitably be a group of people turning on their backs.

The Han cavalry galloping to the right rode their horses to attack when there was only one tail left in the team that the robes were charging and killing, thus becoming a crossing line that would not block each other's way.

"The troops on the right should not give up the pursuit of the enemy army in front of them and join the ...... of the fight," Qin Jia, who was rising and falling with the horse's hooves at high speed, kept cursing in his heart, "pig head, fool" and other words. But what else if it's already happening? He only cursed in his heart while looking at the handful of enemy troops in front of him, hoping that Ji Xin would quickly close the distance between the two sides before leading the team to meet him, so as to complete the strangulation of the joint force.

The Hu cavalry to which Touman belonged could sense that the situation was not good, they had already shrunk back the troops pursuing the renegade tribe, and now the battlefield dynamics were that the Han cavalry and the cavalry of the renegade tribe were approaching them from the northwest, and if they didn't want to stay where they were and be caught, they had to move, and the direction of movement was either north or south.
