Chapter 172: Triple Shot Crossbow

In the east gate of Buyeo City, two thousand men and horses of the independent regiment have been assembled, all of them are black sè bright light armor, and there is a long black sè cloak behind them, and above the helmet, a red sè helmet is unusually conspicuous.

At this time, everyone carried a black sè riding spear in his hand, a horizontal knife at his waist, a riding bow in his saddle, a crossbow, and two pots of arrows. The team of 2,000 men was divided into sixteen companies, with the company as a small team.

Luo Lin was also dressed in black bright light armor, holding a precious horse lance in his hand, riding on a horse, his face was full of solemnity, and his eyes were staring straight at the city gate.

Behind him, the three brothers Li Chengyi, Li Chengli, and Li Chengzhi also changed into the same set of equipment, but there were no epaulettes on the shoulders of the armor. The three brothers also had solemn faces, and everyone was preparing to release their lives of suffering and grievances for more than a year.

Li Benlei stood aside and looked at the three brothers on the horse, his eyes were straight, perhaps thinking of the two sons. A group of soldiers ran towards the east gate, which they would open and release this cavalry unit that exuded endless edge.

The cavalry was about to leave the city, and the old man Li Benlei finally didn't hold back, strode to the horses of the three brothers, sorted out the armor for everyone, and said with a smile, "On the battle array, there are no eyes for swords and guns, you must take care of yourself." I don't have two sons, and I don't want to hear any bad news in my lifetime. ,…

The eldest Li Chengyi looked at his grandfather with white hair, nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, if I don't set foot in Pyongyang in this life, I won't go to see my father's set, and I won't have the shame to see my father." We're going out of the city to fight, grandpa, take care! ”

More than a dozen soldiers squeaked open the city gate, and the soldiers on the tower operated the winch and slowly lowered the suspended suspension bridge.

Outside the city, he suddenly saw the gate of Buyeo City suddenly open, and he was happy, but suddenly saw a neatly arranged cavalry unit in the gate. I couldn't help but change my face, and shouted loudly, "**, **, all the cavalry immediately lined up and prepared for battle!" ”

Although Luo Cup's light cavalry independent regiment is not as good as Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry brigade, this unit has 2,000 people, but 1,000 are veterans of broken barracks. It can be said that this is the second most effective unit in the whole army. Chen Kefu's ace lineage, all kinds of equipment rations, that are all super standard.

At this time, the leprosy door opened, and Luo Lin took the lead, followed by the flag bearer and the flag guard, and a large regiment of light cavalry independent regiments fluttered. The 2,000 cavalrymen did not speak, but rode their horses and walked out of the city, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground sounded neatly.

Rows of cavalry passed through the leprosy gate and drove to the opposite side of the moat, where they rearranged the charging formation.

Three platoons and a company form a small arrowhead, and then sixteen companies form a whole large arrow formation, and at a glance, it is a black sè arrow cluster.

The recruits, who had already fought a few battles, also lined up under the leadership of their respective officers, instigated their horses, and began to slowly accelerate.

A first-class war horse, which has already cultivated enough mental and physical strength, began to speed up with its vigorous four hooves at this time, accelerate, accelerate!

"Independent regiment! Charge the whole regiment! With a hammer in his hand, Luo Lin pointed diagonally at the Mòhé people in the hastily arranged formation in front of him, and issued an order for the whole army to charge.

At the sound of the order, the cavalrymen all held their spears flat, their bodies bowed, and their eyes looked straight ahead. Like a torrent of black sè steel, the cavalry of the independent regiment of two thousand people, with a thunderous roar, rushed faster and faster, converging into a black sè whirlwind and rushing straight away.

Suddenly, he looked at the Sui cavalry that was surging like a torrent, and he was also stunned for a moment, as a nomadic nation, of course he understood that the cavalry in front of him was an elite. The Mòhé tribes have always been a people on horseback, and unlike the Turkic and other tribes in the steppe, they live by herding.

Since he was a child, he had to follow his father to hunt in the mountains, and the family would also cultivate some millet and wheat roughly.

Therefore, the Mòhé people are born knights and archers, and when they saw the Sui army rushing towards them, they suddenly shouted at the Mòhé cavalry who were still in formation, "Brothers, whether you can spend the night in the city tonight, whether there are strong beauties or not, it all depends on the eyes." Dolma, you lead a thousand horsemen from the left flank to outflank and attack the Sui army. Wang Taiji, you lead a thousand horsemen to outflank from the right flank. House, you lead a thousand detours back to the back of the Sui army. The rest of the 1,000 people are left to guard the siege equipment, and the rest of the people will charge with me head-on, so that these southerners can also see the power of our shoe scorpion cavalry! ”,

There was a shout, and the mòhé cavalry, riding on their horses and without armor, were dressed in thick boar skins, and swung their scimitars on their horses, and rushed over. The scorpion cavalry has always been the pride of the Mòhé people, and it was with this elite Mòhé cavalry that they dared to openly stop submitting to the powerful Goguryeo State.

Buyeo Castle is built between the passes of a mountain and river, and beyond the east gate is an open slope. Although it is impossible to start a battle of tens of thousands of people, the battle of more than 10,000 cavalry can be easily carried out.

The Mòhé people are so good at riding that they don't even use their hands to control the spurs. With just a pair of tuǐ, he can manipulate the war horse to charge freely. At this time, the barren people all took off their riding bows on their backs, intending to let the Sui army have a good look at their innate riding and archery skills.

Although half of the independent regiments are veterans, half of them are still recruits. Although when selecting, mountain hunters are also selected, but a good hunter is different from a good cavalry warrior. Fortunately, although the soldiers of the Sui army were poor, they were equipped with the best equipment.

The sturdy bright light armor and the large copper heart guards, even if they shoot accurately and quickly, they can't shoot through, causing half a point of damage to the cavalry. Although the soldiers of the Sui army were not as good as the Mòhé men in riding and shooting, they were all armed with crossbows that could range up to the range of infantry bows, reaching a distance of 120 paces. And no matter how powerful the mòhé cavalry is, they can't shoot such a long distance on their horses.

Luo Lin roared, "Crossbow arrows ready, shoot!" "Roaring, taking off the crossbow arrows, aiming, shooting!

One by one, the cavalry shouted, "Crossbow arrows!" "Deliver orders to every cavalryman behind you!

A crossbow was aimed at the mòhé cavalry, who were dressed only in boar skins, and it could even be seen that the cavalry had also taken off their bows and mounted their arrows, but their arrows had not yet been fired, because they had not yet reached their range.

Under the black sè battle flag of the light cavalry independent regiment, in the torrent of black sè, a rain of black sè arrows suddenly flew out, but the rain came too fast.

The sound of crossbow strings sounded, and the wild boar skin cavalrymen who were still holding their bows and arrows suddenly flew up from the war horses, fell off their horses, and were trampled into mud by the war horses behind.

Although the boar skin is also strong, it can only withstand the cold, if it is an ordinary knife soldier, it can still resist one or two, but these crossbow arrows shot by the machine are with great power, mercilessly tearing through the defense of the wild boar skin, bringing up a tent of blood, and taking the lives of the mòhé cavalry who shouted one by one.

The bow cannot be fired in bursts, and each time you shoot an arrow, you have to re-arm the arrow and aim it. But the crossbows of the cavalrymen of the independent regiment can be fired in three consecutive shots. The distance of one hundred and twenty paces is not far away, but it is not close. But it was enough for the crossbow of the independent regiment to shoot three shots in a row, three powerful shots.

This was a question that Tudi had never thought of, and he never imagined that the mòhé cavalry, who were born with excellent riding and archery skills, would actually fall to the ground one by one in the first round, before their arrows could be shot.

Two thousand cavalrymen of the separate regiment, each with a crossbow, each shot three arrows, which is six thousand arrows. Although it is impossible to shoot without arrows, one arrow at a time. But in such a close run, one out of ten is still about the same. In just one shot, five or six hundred mòhé horsemen dressed in boar skins fell.

After shooting three crossbow arrows, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment had already taken off their riding bows again, and there was another round of arrow rain against the wild boar skin knights who were a little stunned. The power of the riding bow was much worse, but the Sui army didn't care about the effect. As if completing the task, after shooting an arrow as required before the battle, all the cavalry hurriedly put away their riding bows. With one hand he lifted the shield from his horse, and with the other he took off his spear.

Sure enough, when the Sui army picked up the round shield, the bows and arrows of the wild boar skin knights also shot over. Those bows and arrows shot at the Mingguang battle armor did not really have many results. The two key protective parts of the xiōng front and head could not be shot, and the Sui cavalry even wore leather armor on their horses. When a round of arrows rained down, dozens of people were injured, and very few were actually killed by arrows in their backs. The vast majority of the arrows were blocked by shields, or armor.

The iron hooves rumbled, and the wild boar skin knights who had just had time to shoot an arrow were surprised to find that the cavalry of the Sui army was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, the two armies had collided together. The cavalry of the Sui army was equipped with cavalry guns, and the officers all used horse lances. But whether it is a horse lance or a riding spear, it is a long weapon of Zhang Yu.

The wild boar skin knights are all tribesmen, usually go up to the mountains to hunt, go down to the lake to fish, and when there is a war, all the people are soldiers. They all go to the battlefield with the weapons they have saved up from their ancestors, and anyway, whatever weapons they have at home, they take them to the battlefield. There are those with forks, those with spears, those with scimitars, axes, and maces, basically five huā and eight gates, all of which are available, but few of them are as long as the main battle weapons of the cavalry.

As soon as the two armies collided together, before the weapons of the five huā and eight doors slashed into the body of the Sui army, the sharp and unified Zhangyu long cavalry spear of the Sui army was already under the sharp arrow formation, and stabbed towards the body of the wild boar skin knight.

Iron hooves roar, riding spears like a forest! Suddenly, it dawned on him that the brave Mòhé warriors had crashed into a rain of arrows and guns like killing machines, and the wild boar skins they had once proudly thought were so vulnerable.
