The bows used by the Daijun crossbowmen were all rare and well-made long-edged bows, and the arrows they shot were very different. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)

After all, 6 Yao has only been operating in Daijun for a month, and during this time, he has to worry about a lot of affairs, and he tosses Shao Xu, who is the prime minister's general affairs, to death. In terms of arrows, in addition to urgently summoning craftsmen to build parts, they can only rely on the soldiers to find ways to make up for the number themselves...... This directly leads to the variety and variety of arrows. There are armor-piercing arrows with sharp arrows, hollow and roaring arrows, heavy arrows with wide arrows that are customary to the beards, and even more bizarre arrows that are self-polished from discarded weapon fragments.

Among them, the largest number is heavy arrows, and it is also this kind of arrow that causes the greatest loss to the Xianbei people.

The Hu people in northern Xinjiang have a low level of production, and even use bone arrows as weapons in daily hunting and inter-tribal battles. The practice of bone arrows originated in ancient times, and only by smashing the bones of beasts from them, and then sharpening the wide two ends, it became two arrowheads. After trading pig iron from the mainland, most of the Hu still preferred to make iron arrowheads in the shape of thick and heavy arrowheads with broad blades on the wings, just like the primitive bone arrows. This kind of arrow is much heavier than the Jin people's armor-piercing arrows, although the penetration power is insufficient, but when dealing with the body that is not armored, it can cause huge wounds, easily amputate the bones of the tendons, and immediately deprive the arrow of the combat effectiveness.

The moments of the Xianbei light cavalry passing in front of the Daijun chariot formation were enough for the crossbowmen to fire three volleys, and hundreds of heavy arrows flew towards the Xianbei cavalry with colorful tail feathers like a dense flock of birds on the water's edge. Several of the knights closest to the crossbowmen immediately fell to the ground, and the knights behind had to rein in their horses to avoid it. In this way, their degree is even slower. Rows of arrows smashed them to the ground like hailstones.

The ordinary Jin army would have collapsed long ago after suffering such heavy losses, but the more the fierce character of the Xianbei people was, the more they were swayed. Braving the rain of arrows, they turned their horses around, took out their bows and arrows, and fired. With the excellent archery skills they had honed since childhood, they also shot arrows that flew almost straight towards the crossbowman's face, and there were even special poisoned arrows mixed with them. This kind of poisonous arrow is made by smearing the gelatinous substance formed by mixing feces and urine on the arrow, which not only smells disgusting and unpleasant, but also easily causes the wounded to ulcerate and die.

These arrows simply could not be carried for a long time, so their numbers were pitifully small, and their lethality was only wielded after the war. But in the course of battle, only three or five such arrows are enough to force the enemy to have the urge to dodge in the face of all arrows, so that the strict queue gradually disintegrates, and the orderly salvo becomes scattered. At this moment, even the officers of the Daijun Army shouted continuously, but they could not prevent the crossbowmen from being afraid.

The Xianbei people rose in the grassland after the Xiongnu, and they have experienced many life-and-death wars, and the cruel competition has tempered every Xianbei man into an excellent knight and archer. No matter how bad the shape is, they will never lag behind others in the bow and arrow, and can even turn the situation back by force.

But the Daijun crossbowmen weren't going to shoot at them. A drum sounded in the chariot formation, and all the crossbowmen fell sharply, back behind the shields and the wooden walls of the chariots. This kind of defense is beyond the reach of the small-scale Xianbei shooter in front of him. The crossbowmen of the Daijun army rested leisurely under cover, and some even reached out from the side of the wooden wall and threw a poisonous arrow nailed to the wooden wall and the stench of poisoned arrows to the ground.

The Xianbei light horseman, who had lost his opponent in an instant, shot a round at the layers of wooden walls, and then could only put away the arrows in a stupid manner, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the raised sand and dust covering the sky and the sun, and hundreds of horsemen were surging.

Those are the Daijun elite horsemen who followed Liu Yao's killing. The Xianbei cavalry divided into two groups to attack, and they did not hesitate to choose the one close to their own front to rush over, and arrived at the moment when the Xianbei people were attacked by the rain of arrows and lost their galloping!

The number of Xianbei light cavalry is more than that of the Daijun army, but their soldiers are outflanked in two ways, and the one in front of them was ambushed by the arrows of the Daijun army, and the losses are very heavy.

The Daijun cavalry still had Liu Yao as the vanguard. The brave general slammed into the charge, slashing with his lance at afar, slashing with his sword at close range, cutting off the unsuspecting Xianbei cavalry from his horse like a mowing grass, and the blood splattered everywhere almost stained his entire body red. Compared with the Xianbei people who were loosely formed, the Daijun cavalry relied on the degree of war horses to gallop wildly, wielding the power of heavy weapons such as long lances and broadswords to the extreme. This time the impact was devastating, and dozens of Xianbei people became wandering spirits under the lance almost instantly, and the long knives that followed cut off the short bow that was barely wielding, and took the remaining lives.

In the past month, the Daijun army has repeatedly practiced tactical warfare with a combination of chariot formations, bows, and cavalry short-range charges. But the victory was not without cost, and in the fierce battles of the right people, the number of these cavalrymen was reduced by more than thirty percent, and many of the remaining were wounded of varying severity. In order to avoid being pursued by another group of Xianbei people, they did not dare not fight in the slightest. "Hurry back! Go back! Under Liu Yao's loud command, they shouted and beat their horses, rode wildly, and quickly got rid of the entanglement of the remnants of the Xianbei people. As they continued to advance with the momentum of this onslaught, they quickly returned along the few paths left out by the car formation, and the degree of retreat to the formation was actually much faster than when they came.

When another group of Xianbei light horsemen in the distance turned around in anger and tried to support, only the corpses of Xianbei people were left in front of the formation. A few horses that had lost their owners trotted back and forth worriedly, occasionally arching one of their torques in a pool of blood and wailing.

At this time, Xue Tong had already led the soldiers of his headquarters to quickly fill the front army, and took over the command of the entire chariot formation and the crossbowmen and cavalry of each team. And Liu Yao returned directly to the Chinese army.

In the battle, he was finally injured and was stabbed in the right hip. The wound was not large, but it was deep to the bones and bones, and the blood that flowed down the saddle stained the saddle red. He dismounted, sprinkled a handful of dirt on the saddle, so that it would not be slippery for a while, and then he thrust his lance into the ground, tore off a piece of his robe, and bandaged it twice. After treating the wound, he retrieved the lance and skillfully performed a few tricks. It seemed that the movement was a little bigger, and the wound was oozing blood again, but Liu Yao nodded with satisfaction, as if he didn't feel the slightest pain.

After completing this whole set of actions, he could not care to ask: "General, what should I do next?" ”

6 Yao said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious. Wait a minute. ”

After all, the time for the two armies to fight close was short, and the losses of the Youzhou army were not particularly heavy; The number of soldiers they killed was not a few. However, the tried and tested light cavalry shooting technique was thwarted after all, and this time it was undoubtedly the Daijun army that had the upper hand.

There are still 1,500 Xianbei light cavalry left in this group of Xianbei light cavalry who are responsible for the task of harassing at this moment, and they are still worthy of a battle in terms of strength. But they had consumed a considerable amount of courage and physique, and they were in a dilemma outside the range of the Daijun army's strong bows and crossbows. If we continue to move forward, it seems that we will not be able to achieve the results that were originally expected. And if you step back...... The Xianbei knights didn't even dare to turn their heads to look at where their camp was. Thinking about the brutal punishment of the losers in the section department, it seems that it is the appropriate choice to go forward and die on the spot.

The first step of Duan Xianbei's tactics to rampant in northern Xinjiang was defeated, what should be done next? Such a battle situation was obviously beyond the expectations of the Youzhou army.

In the enemy array, which stretched for miles and arranged in a huge arc, the sound of bull horns and the sound of hammers came and went, and the heralds galloped to and fro. Since the morning fog has completely faded, from the location of the 6 Yao and other generals, it is possible to vaguely observe the Youzhou Army's main formation directly opposite. The small ant-like figures of those Youzhou generals seemed to be gesturing and discussing something fiercely, but they did not give the next order.

It was clear to everyone in charge of the Daijun Army that this victory was not enough to affect the overall situation. The Xianbei people's huge army was far from wielding its might, and they would not retreat because of a small defeat when they intended to overthrow the Daijun army in one fell swoop. If they don't move, they will be done, and if they move, they will be like breaking the water in a thousand streams, and there will be a thunderous momentum. The silent battlefield was filled with an aura of slaughter, and in the array of the Daijun Army, some of the more experienced middle-level officers rushed back and forth before the battle reopened, cheering up and cheering up the soldiers under them.

Sure enough, as expected by the officers and soldiers of the Daijun Army, about half an hour later, the army of the Xianbei people moved again. This time, they used their main force, and the black pressure on the people and horses who could not see the edge rolled like a thick cloud covering the sky, and the tremor caused by the hooves of tens of thousands of horses galloping and stomping on the ground made the rivers rise and wave!

"The left and right flanks are still light cavalry, probably to test whether there is a possibility of attacking our flanks through the Guò river beach. And the central position ...... "6 muttered haruka. Facing the front of the Daijun army, the Xianbei people were surging forward, and countless flags were waving around, and they couldn't see the details clearly for a while. But this kind of momentum mobilization will never be an ordinary attack.

The enemy army was getting closer and closer, but 6 Yao and Wei Cao were relieved at the same time, and even showed a little joy.

Wei Cao pointed in that direction with a whip, and duly continued the previous topic: "This is where our chances of victory lie!" 6 What does the general think? ”

6 Yao bowed slightly, and replied briefly: "There is still a bloody battle." ”
