The bows used by the Daijun crossbowmen were all rare 'fine' long-horned bows, but the arrows they 'shot' were very different.

After all, Lu Yao has only been in Daijun for a month, and during this time, he has to 'worry' about how many affairs he has, and he tosses Shao Xu, the prime minister's general affairs, to the point of 'desire' and immortal' 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 five 'flowers' and eight 'doors' of the arrows, and the various 'colors' and 'colors'. 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 obtaining pig iron through 'trading' with the mainland, most of the Hu still preferred to make iron arrowheads in the shape of thick and heavy arrows with wide blades on the wings, just like the form of 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 launch three volleys, and hundreds of heavy arrows flew towards the Xianbei cavalry on their colorful tail feathers like a dense flock of birds by 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. As a result, their speed 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 fierce the Xianbei people's 'sex' character?

?? In adversity, the more it is played. Braving the rain of arrows, they turned their horses, took out their bows and 'shot'. With the 'fine' archery skills they have honed since childhood, they also 'shoot' arrows that fly almost straight towards the 'door' of the Daijun crossbowmen, which are even mixed with special poisoned arrows. This kind of poisonous arrow is made by smearing the gelatinous substance formed by mixing feces and 'urine' liquid on the arrow, which not only smells disgusting and unpleasant, but also easily causes the wounded to ulce pus and die.

These arrows simply could not be carried for a long time, so their numbers were pitifully small, and their lethality was only exerted after the war. However, 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 'fire' 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, I don't know how many times they have experienced life-and-death wars, and the cruel competition has tempered every Xianbei man into an excellent knight and 'archer'. No matter how bad the situation is, they will never lag behind others in the bow and arrow, and they can even turn the situation back by force.

But the Daijun crossbowmen didn't intend 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 in a good time and threw a poisonous arrow nailed to the wooden wall and emitted a foul smell to the ground.

The Xianbei light horseman, who lost his opponent in an instant, 'shot' 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 'fine' riders who followed Liu Ya to kill. 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 speed!

The number of Xianbei light cavalry is more than that of the Daijun army, but their soldiers are outflanked by two roads and two roads, and the one in front of them is ambushed by the arrows of the Daijun army, and the losses are very heavy, and the ones who can respond to the impact of the Daijun cavalry in time are only a hundred or dozens of horses.

The Daijun cavalry still had Liu Yao as the vanguard. The brave general charged with all his might, slashing with a lance from afar, and slashing with a slasher at close, cutting off the unsuspecting Xianbei cavalry from his horse like a mowing grass, and the blood splattered everywhere almost dyed his entire body red. Compared with the Xianbei people who were loosely formed, the Daijun cavalry relied on the speed of the war horse to gallop wildly, and exerted 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 the spirits under the long lance almost instantly, and the long knives that followed cut off the short bow that was barely wielding, and took the remaining 'life'.

The Daijun Army, which had repeatedly practiced in the past month, won the first battle with a combination of chariot formations, bows and crossbows, and cavalry short-range attacks. 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 follow the momentum of this onslaught, they quickly returned along the few paths vacated by the car formation, and the speed of retreat into the formation was much faster than when they came.

When another group of Xianbei light cavalry in the distance angrily turned around 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 a torso in a pool of blood and letting out a whining sound.

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. 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' the 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 danced 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?" ”

Lu 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 the Daijun army undoubtedly had the upper hand.

There are still more than 1,500 Xianbei light cavalry left in this group of Xianbei light cavalry who are responsible for the attack and harassment mission, and they are still worthy of a battle in terms of strength. But their courage and physical strength were consumed to a considerable extent, and they were in a dilemma outside the 'shooting' 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 had completely faded, from the location of Lu Yao and the other generals, it was 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 huge army of the Xianbei people was far from exerting 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 the main force, and the black pressure pressed the people and horses who could not see the edge, like a thick cloud covering the sky, and the tremor caused by tens of thousands of horses' hooves galloping on the ground made the rivers rise 'waves'!

"There are still light cavalry on the left and right flanks, probably to test whether there is a possibility of attacking our flanks through the river beach. And the central location ......," Lu Yao muttered. 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 Lu Yao and Wei 'Cao' both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and even 'revealed' a little joyful look.

Wei 'Cao' waved his whip in that direction, and duly continued the previous topic: "This is where our chances of winning are!" What does General Lu think? ”

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