Chapter 249 Entrust

But thinking about it, things like crossbow holders and front grips can be said to be technically unfamiliar. Anyone who knows a little carpenter can easily do it, it depends on whether there is any need. Beigong Jing obviously felt it was necessary. He kept staring at the Wolangling Camp and found that after this modification, the big yellow crossbow could be shot more stably. After more accurate, he immediately asked the craftsmen to follow the army to modify the same crossbows. Fortunately, the ghost ring sight was really not very eye-catching, so Beigong Jing didn't notice it, otherwise he would have arranged it together!

The Hu cavalry came to the ground and jogged at first. When they were only two hundred steps away from the Liangzhou infantry formation, they suddenly accelerated. Countless horse hooves raised and fell, raised dust all over the sky, and in a blink of an eye, they stepped on the long red arrows into the snow mud.

A Quhou shouted sternly: "First row, cum!"

The first row of crossbowmen held the crossbow against their shoulders and aimed at the Hu cavalry who was rapidly enlarging in their field of vision. At the same time, they pulled the mechanical thrust! The metal tremors were endless, causing the air to tremble. The crossbow arrows about 40 cm long shot out and turned into cold stars, shooting towards the Hu cavalry who were rolling on the ground!

The next second, the Hu cavalrymen who were racing horses seemed to be tripped by an invisible tripping rope, and then they seemed to be fired by Maxim's heavy machine gun. They rolled into a ball with their horses. The horses neighed and the wailed people resounded through the battlefield. The soldiers in the front row even clearly saw some of the Hu cavalrymen who were caught in the arrows being thrown one or two feet away by the overturned war horses like throwing stones. They fell heavily to the ground, and the stars in front of them were blown away. Before they could scream, the hoofs of the big bowl stepped down heavily!

When a large-scale cavalry charges, falling horses are almost equal to death. Otherwise, why do you always emphasize shooting people first? When the cavalry sprints at high speed, they shoot their horses with one arrow. The cavalry fell to the ground, and even if they don’t fall to death on the spot, they will be trampled to death by the war horses that follow them. The probability of stolen words is pitifully small!

After the first row of crossbowmen shot, they immediately retreated into the square formation. The second row slightly adjusted the shooting angle, and then pulled the motor bracket again, followed by the third row...

After the three rows of crossbowmen shot, the charge of the Hu cavalry was almost flattened. The horses and cavalry were caught in the arrow rolled to the ground, and dying screams came one after another. However, the Hu cavalry seemed to have no sense of what happened in front of them. They went straight past the unlucky guys and rushed towards the Liangzhou army's square formation, pulling the bow and arrows, and the sound of sharp arrows were as dense as slanting rain. The two rows of infantry in front of the Liangzhou army had already raised large shields like door panels, forming an airtight shield wall. The rain of arrows poured from the Hu cavalry was nailed to the shield, and the sound of ticks continued. In a blink of an eye, the large shields were filled with sharp arrows, densely packed, like a cluster of dense weeds. Many arrows flew over the shield wall and fell into the square formation, hitting the Liangzhou army's armor and helmets, jingling, and the Liangzhou army was unscathed.

It is also impolite to come but not to go. The two rows of infantry in front of Liangzhou Army squatted down, and the spears in their hands were slanted out. The sharp spear tip pointed at the neck of the Hu cavalry's horse, which was densely aroused by the war horse. The rear row of infantry stepped on the tail of the front row of spearmen with their feet to ensure that the spearmen would not be knocked away by this powerful impact force when the war horses hit. The fourth row was crossbowmen. They stepped on the stirrup under the protection of the shield wall, put on the strings, and after loading the crossbow arrows, they stood up in the rain of arrows, and according to the powerful crossbow in their hands, they shot angrily at the Hu cavalry who were shooting around the formation. As the bow string trembled, some Hu cavalry kept falling down, and once they fell, they would never have a chance to stand up again!

This kind of shooting is actually not fair. The top 100 Liangzhou Army are all heavy infantry wearing iron armor, and are protected by large shields. Not to mention using horse stance, even if they use a stance bow with a high pound, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to them. The cavalry of this era was not equipped with stirrups. Although the cavalry could shoot arrows on the horse's back without stirrups, they could still shoot arrows or wield weapons to fight, but without this gadget, they would be greatly affected after all, and it was difficult for cavalry to use a high pound bow. These Hu people's bows and arrows were more than enough to deal with the Liangzhou Army that had only light leather armor or simply no armor, but it was far from being able to deal with the Liangzhou Army that had iron helmets and iron armor and large shields.

The powerful crossbow used by the Liangzhou Army can shoot them over with one arrow, both men and horses!

After a few rounds, the Hu cavalry was shot to death and wounded all over the ground, while the Liangzhou army was very small. Such a exchange ratio simply caused the Hu generals to be infarcted. Seeing that the light cavalry could not tear open the infantry formation of the Liangzhou army, Zhang Ni gritted his teeth and ordered: "Cabinets retreat, let the infantry go! Zhao Cheng, let your cavalry be prepared. When the infantry disrupted the Jin people's array, you will launch an attack from the side and back!"

A loud voice with obvious characteristics of the Central Plains man responded loudly, and with a command, hundreds of cavalry in iron armor moved slowly to the left wing of the Liangzhou army.

The trumpets were blowing, like ghosts crying and wolf howling. The Hu cavalry, who were shot to the point of being severely slapped, rushed to retreat one after another. Even the companions who were lying on the ground and screaming loudly were not caring about it.

Naturally, the infantry who received the orders would not pay attention to them. At least two thousand infantry were wearing iron armor, holding shields, with crossbowmen in front and spearmen behind, and slowly pressing up.

Pei Wei could see clearly and whispered: "Are infantry fighting head-on? Trouble!"

Li Rui asked: "What's wrong?"

Pei Wei said: "Liu Yuan has a large number of Qiang and Di infantrymen. They are strong, skilled in martial arts, extremely tough, and are even more difficult to deal with than those archers! This time they have pressed so many infantry at once, and we are in big trouble!"

Li Rui: "..."

His grandma, Liu Yuan, what's going on with you? You are a king of Huns, and your infantry under your command can actually fight more than cavalry? What an international joke!

Zhang Xiong was expressionless, waved the flag in his hand several times, and the spearmen who were originally half kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, while the crossbowmen put down their crossbows, took two javelins from the auxiliary soldiers, waiting for the military order. Obviously, they did not intend to use crossbows to deal with these Hu infantry soldiers. After all, facing the dense shield wall, the crossbows could not play a big role, and it was not as effective as the javelins.

The Hu infantry advanced slowly and resolutely. When they advanced to about sixty steps away from the Liangzhou Army, they stopped. The archers held huge single bodies, almost as tall as them, pulled their bows out of the line. They drew their bows and arrows in the general's roar, and sharp arrows shot towards the Liangzhou Army's infantry phalanx like raindrops!

Twist twist!

The sharp arrow collided with the big shield, causing a greater movement than the arrow rain poured by the cavalry to storm the shield wall. Muddy groans came from time to time in the square formation. Obviously, the large shield of the Liangzhou army's armor and shield were not completely immune to the damage of the bow and arrow. Under the attack of the arrow rain, casualties also occurred.

However, the Liangzhou Army was unmoved and did not even let the crossbowmen fight back. They just resisted the damage of the rounds of arrow rain and remained unmoved. This calmness and tactical qualities were simply jaw-dropping!

Beigong Chun relied on these thousands of soldiers to save Luoyang twice, causing the Huns to lose and lose. There was a reason.

A sharp arrow flew over rows of infantry, nailed directly to Li Rui's toes, which made him sweat. Pei Wei calmly pulled out the arrow and showed it to Li Rui: "Look, this arrow is like a short spear. You can tell at first glance that it was from the hands of the Di people. They have been living in the mountains and forests for many years, and the environment is humid, and the bow-making skills are not good. Most of the equipment is equipped with long bows with simple bamboo and wood structures. This kind of bow may be higher than archers, and they use all kinds of heavy arrows. Although the range is not as powerful as our army's stance, the power is huge. Those who are middle-aged will die immediately. Even the brave men who died under such heavy arrows cannot count!"

Li Rui drew out a homemade plum needle arrow to compete with this arrow. What a good guy, it was actually a small piece shorter than the other person. Be good, if this arrow hits him, even if he has nine lives, he will be finished!

At this time, the Hu archers had already shot out ten rounds of arrow rain and returned to the back of the queue. With a roar, a large number of infantry soldiers made huge roars, jogging forward, rushing like a tide!

When Zhang Xiong saw the other party launching a charge, he waved the flag and said, "Spout the spear!"

The shield walls separated, and the group of crossbowmen came out and roared together: "Kill!!!" The javelins in their hands were thrown out in one go. The fierce wind sounds of the javelins flying through the air could be heard from afar. At such a close distance, the Hu infantry was charging again, and there was no chance to dodge. A round of javelin rain poured into their queue mercilessly, and it was immediately overturned! These crossbowmen were originally men of outstanding strength, and the javelins they threw were long and heavy. The power can be imagined. The shields in front of the Hu infantry were no different from those of paper in front of it. They were fucked through with a bang, and they were nailed together with their arms. It was even worse if they were not hit. Once they were hit, the whole person was immediately nailed to the ground, and even two or three were worn together into a string!

The screams sounded shrill, extremely dense. The casualties caused by the ten rounds of volleys of Hu archers just now caused to the Liangzhou army. The Liangzhou army only took back one round of javelins and had the principal and interest.

The next is pure interest.

After the first row of crossbowmen threw the javelin, the second row immediately threw the javelin out, followed by the third row. The three-wheeled javelin rain passed, and the charging Hu infantry was killed and injured, and the originally strict queue became scattered. Li Rui saw with his own eyes that a beautiful Hu officer with gorgeous clothes was safe and sound under the attack of the javelin rain with a large shield. The price was that seven or eight javelins were inserted into his shield, so heavy that he could not handle it at all. When he threw away the shield and took a shield from the soldier behind him, a javelin broke through the air, hitting his waist, piercing through the iron armor, and piercing him and the soldier who handed the shield into a string... There are really many such unlucky guys!

Such a long javelin is nailed to the shield, even if it doesn't hurt someone, the shield will be useless. What if it were you? Should you hold it up and continue walking forward or change it?

When the javelin is raining, no matter which one you choose, the result will be the same, and that is death!
