Chapter 238

Hundreds of loaded heavy riders rushed with their feet. Although they said they could not shake the earth and mountains, their momentum was absolutely huge.

Form a gun array to be ready. Some timid people really want to escape if they don't see their companions calm and face the rolling heavy cavalry. This has nothing to do with timidity. It is purely a survival instinct. But the timid are surrounded by some people who look calm. They subconsciously hesitate and think: "my companions are insisting, so I'll insist, too?"

Who stipulates that heroes must be bold? Heroes are often produced inadvertently. After a short hesitation, they have become heroes (dead) before they react.

Real warriors don't hesitate. They look calm in the face of the rolling horseshoes, well... Because they are system soldiers.

The Dragon guards rushed in, and there were bursts of screams and screams in an instant. The impact force was at least one ton. If they hit the long gun, it was useless to have a piece of armor to block it. They were directly pierced, but the next moment they would break the rod of the long gun, or the strong force would make the long gun knock and fly.

At the moment of the collision, the Dragon Guard on the horse's back was violently thrown out, and the horse was stabbed into the body with a long gun, whining. The horse missed its front hoof, and the horse's head crashed heavily.

One by one, the loaded heavy riders were consumed. They may have died, but the knights who smashed forward cleared an open space and disturbed the gun array; The dead horses started to plough along the strength of the forward rush, and the place they passed must be to break up an area, or it would lead to the chaos of the formation of the Han army.

The loss of forty horses knocked open or confused the gun array of the Han army. The next moment, more dragon guards broke in. They had less threat of long guns and played a greater power, but the picture they expected to see did not happen. The soldiers of the Han Army did not panic and fled!

The rhythm is completely wrong. How can there be infantry who are not afraid to rush into the array with heavy cavalry?

The correct rhythm should be that the infantry panicked when facing the cavalry charging into the array, and ran around crying for their parents one by one, messing up their formation!

In fact, many Han soldiers were absolutely scared to pee. They kept shouting "mother" in their mouth or whispering unconsciously. After the extreme horror, they were stiff all over, resulting in their stiff bodies staying in place. Even because they were too nervous, they could grasp the long gun in their hands with greater force.

Zhao Qian watched helplessly as a cavalry who had lost its master knocked open the robe in front of him, waiting for his side to be soft, dragging his belly on the ground, and stopping in front of him. At that time, he had to admit that he was really scared to pee. His crotch was wet and his head was blank.

[mother!] Zhao qian can swear that this is definitely not the first time he peed in the crotch on the battlefield. In fact, he peed when he first went to the battlefield. He subconsciously touched the horse's head in front with the head of the gun. The head of the gun collided with the armor on the horse's forehead and made a crisp sound [thick iron armor?]

The sound of heavy collision and exclamation mixed together. The Dragon guards rushed into the Han Army step by step. Although there was no obvious panic among the Han Army Infantry, the Dragon guards still ploughed in fiercely and rushed straight inward for nearly 120 meters before they lost speed.

At the moment when the Dragon guards rush into the array, the three thousand Hu people are enjoying the dense arrows like raindrops.

In fact, there are only 50 crossbows that can hit the target. That is, the scene after a ten foot long crossbow hits the target is tragic enough, even if the knight is shot off. Even people and horses are directly nailed to the ground.

After 300 steps (450 meters), it is covered by strong crossbows. There are seven or eight hundred strong crossbow soldiers on the Han army. They can cover an area of about 300 meters at a time. The falling of dense crossbows and arrows definitely clears an area and creates a cluster of crossbows and arrows all over the ground. The people or horses on the surface and hit by the arrows are all crossbows and arrows. Should the firing frequency of strong crossbows be ten breaths (about 12 seconds) a wave?

At 200 steps (300 meters), the strong crossbow and bow cover together. At this distance, the light riding of the Hu people seems to have stepped into the hell mode and rushed forward one after another, but under the cover of wave after wave of arrow rain, how many people rush forward is how many people turn over.

At a distance of one hundred steps (150 meters), Hu Qingqi is in a state of chaos. There are no formations, and some are galloping forward. They look forward to rushing into the array quickly with all kinds of emotions, but they have entered the range of the crossbow soldiers.

The crossbow soldiers simply don't stop shooting crossbows and arrows, so that the crossbows and arrows in the middle of the air fly one by one with a sharp sound of breaking the air, and they are dense and even collide with each other.

When the 3000 Hu people light cavalry covered by the arrow rain rushed 100 steps away from the Han Army, they had actually lost at least 800 cavalry. No one would pay too much attention when everyone rushed forward. As a result, the coverage of the remaining 2200 or so with a hard crossbow continued to move forward.

The Hu people riding forward could not see what kind of situation they were facing, but Deng Heng could see clearly.

It can no longer be described as tragic. The Hu people ride lightly or gallop intensively or scattered. Their forward dash seems to hit a barrier, and the raindrops of crossbows and arrows keep falling. How many Hu people ride lightly and dash dash into the barrier composed of crossbows and arrows and fall down, and gradually the human and horse corpses are piled up into a hill composed of meat.

Shijie Zhao Jun, who had cheered because the Dragon guards successfully rushed to the array, had long stopped shouting. They saw different scenes in different positions, but they could always see how dense the arrows that were constantly shot into the sky, resulting in dim light. No one needs to look at the tragic situation of the battlefield. Everyone knows what kind of situation will be caused by such dense arrow coverage.

"Strong crossbow and crossbow?" Deng Heng smiled as if crying: "the intelligence did not show that the Han Army had so many crossbows, or even crossbows."

Most of the Shijie Zhaojun generals have a lot of ideas at the moment, but their minds are blank.

If there is a crossbow, there is a crossbow. If there are not thousands of them, that is, they can scare recruits. The actual effect can only be shown in the siege.

But... The existence of strong crossbow and crossbow seems very terrible.

The emergence of the crossbow changed the war, not to say how far it has a range or how powerful it is. With the crossbow, the establishment of long-range troops can be greatly increased. All this is just because the archers need long-time training, but the crossbow soldiers can lift the crossbow and launch after teaching for a period of time.

There are historical records that crossbow changed the war. Before the crossbow appeared, only the Samurai with permanent production were qualified to join the army. The samurai usually didn't have production. They just practiced martial arts, melee fighting and long-range bow and arrow shooting. Because of the need for professionalism, the number of troops participating in repeated wars has been greatly reduced, and civilians basically do not participate in the war.

The emergence of crossbow made civilians qualified to participate in the war. A warrior who has been like a day for decades can be killed with one shot of crossbow when he is facing the crossbow, which directly hit the existence status of the warrior. If you can send them to the battlefield after a short training, the number of them will become more and more.

According to history, before the crossbow appeared, there were many troops composed of two thousand warriors, but after the crossbow appeared, it opened the door for civilians to participate in the war, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops participated in the war became a common situation.

"The Han Army has a crossbow. Even a woman can fight with a crossbow." Cui Xuan's face was deathly gray: "it's not appropriate to calculate how many soldiers Liu Yan has to fight at this time. As long as Liu Yan is willing to pull up a sufficient number of troops at any time."

Deng Heng took a deep breath. The large-scale appearance of crossbow not only has that effect, but also indicates several things. The productivity of the Han army is far stronger than expected, and the cavalry does not represent an advantage.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling brought five thousand troops. Because there were enough crossbows and enough arrows, the five thousand infantry resisted the attack of 30000 cavalry and killed more than 10000 cavalry. They had to fall until the arrows were consumed. And this war took place on the plain!

The Dragon Guard fell in and Qingqi failed to break through the arrow array to complete the subsequent impact. Deng Heng failed this attempt.

Not only did the attempt fail, it can even be said that because it was unexpected, only more than 600 light cavalry escaped back. The rest were either killed or captured on the spot. It is equal to Shijie Zhao Jun in this battlefield. It is impossible to rely on the remaining 600 light cavalry to take any initiative.

"Withdraw!" Deng Heng's face was pale: "I'm finished, completely finished."

Cui Xuan said incoherently, "we are all finished. Your majesty will definitely peel our skin..."

It's not the first time Shi Hu has done it. He can definitely continue to do it again. No matter whether the war can maintain the stalemate or not, Deng Heng and Cui Xuan think they are dead. The difference is whether they can die happily, and whether their families can be free from involvement.

The battle on the battlefield was over, and the Zhao army in Shijie took the initiative to withdraw the remaining troops, allowing the Han Army to easily occupy the remaining barracks.

Xu Zhengshi ordered to clean the battlefield and came to the front with Ji Chang. They sent the literati Su Ding to surrender,

Su Ding was invited by LV Yi in a letter from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At present, he has no fixed position in the Han army. He can be regarded as an assistant.

Assistant Liao's work is very complicated. Su Ding wanted to observe more before deciding whether to develop in the Han Dynasty. Just now he saw the course of the battlefield and didn't need any observation. He directly asked for the work of persuading surrender. He really wanted to work hard.

Su Ding rode forward alone. In the past, he would worry that he would be shot without even having a chance to speak. Now he has full confidence, which is the confidence given by the army behind him!
