Yu Yue's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of drums and horns from the front army. Under the baptism of the Yan army's arrow rain, the military formation that had been motionless also began to change. Behind the shields, among the armored groups, suddenly
Hundreds of crossbowmen wearing leather armor ran out. Beside each archer, there were armored infantrymen holding shields and waving them in front of them to help these archers fend off the locusts.
Like an arrow.
In the hands of these crossbowmen, they held powerful crossbows or strong bows. They ran out of the shield formation and faced the direction of the incoming arrows in the smoke and dust. They pulled off the crossbows one after another or shot out bows and arrows.
As soon as the crossbow fired the arrow, it quickly retreated into the shield, and then, under the cover of the shield hand, retreated again into the dense armored group, disappearing without a trace.
Just after a group of archers stepped forward to fire arrows and fired crossbows, a new group would soon step forward to fire. Occasionally, some sergeants who were hit by arrows would be quickly dragged back by the shieldmen around them, while those on the opposite side would
In the smoke and dust, there were sounds of people neighing and horses neighing from time to time, and accompanied by the sound of people and horses falling to the ground and falling into the dust, for a while, arrows were flying back and forth in front of the two armies, making it very lively.
At the top of Linqu City, under the yellow umbrella canopy, Murong Chao nodded repeatedly: "This sudden cavalry and infantry bow shooting is really exciting. Our army is better at the cover of smoke and dust, and with the maneuverability of the war horses, it is not easy to be hit, but
This Jin army is hiding behind the shield. They can bypass the shield and shoot into the sky. It is not easy to hit them. Imperial Master, what do you think?"
The black robe said coldly: "This is just a test between the two sides. I don't intend to really break the formation like this, but I heard that Dayan's sudden cavalry has the unique skill of pulling the shield with a flying rope. Every time
When encountering enemy infantry formations, this move is commonly used. Break the shield formation first and then shoot. It often achieves miraculous results and is always detrimental!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shrill whistle from the cavalry formation, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Look, it's coming!"
In the smoke and dust, more than five hundred horsemen suddenly rushed out. In their hands, they did not hold big bows like when they were galloping just now. Instead, they were waving long ropes in their hands, forming a dancing circle above their heads.
Huan, ran to the Jin army's shield formation, less than ten steps away, they all shouted and threw out these leather ropes. It seemed that these cavalry had been trained in this kind of lasso technique for a long time. They usually grazed animals.
At that time, I don’t know how many cattle and sheep I have practiced on. Ten steps away, I can accurately and steadily drop the rope head to various corners and protrusions of the shield. Some even put it on the bow and arrow shaft inserted on the shield.
, this accuracy makes people have to applaud it.
The Jin army's crossbowmen behind the shield lowered the arc, shortened the distance of their bows, and stopped shooting into the smoke. Hundreds of feather arrows shot directly at the lassoed cavalry. Suddenly, more than thirty cavalrymen
His body was covered with arrows, and he either fell off his horse and died, or lay on the back of the horse. But the other people who were still alive suddenly whistled in their mouths, turned around, and fought hard to drive away. Suddenly, it turned out that
The large shields on the ground were blown away, and the large number of crossbowmen behind the shields were suddenly exposed to everyone's sight.
Many Jin army archers seemed to be stunned by this sudden change. They just stood there in a daze. They even forgot to pull the bows in their hands, and in the smoke, there was a rapid burst of sound.
The sound of Hujia was accompanied by He Shenggai's roar: "Come on, shoot them to death, shoot them to death!"
In the smoke and dust, countless arrows suddenly flew out. If you look at it from a high place, you can find that the assault cavalry who were shooting in a circle just now have re-formed a three-row cavalry line. They are no longer
Instead of galloping, he sat on the horse's back, shooting out the bows and arrows in the quiver on the saddle at the fastest speed and at the flattest angle. Almost everyone had more than four arrows in their hands.
Hold the bow and arrow between your fingers. Every time you shoot an arrow, use skillful techniques to wind the next arrow. Pull it back slightly and fire it quickly. Although the string will not be fully drawn, in these twenty or thirty steps,
At such a distance, even the power of half a bow was enough to break armor and kill. In front of the Jin army's formation, they were exposed on the ground without shields. The archers, who only wore leather armor or even cloth shirts, fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. They couldn't even scream.
Without making a sound, just one volley fired, and two to three hundred people fell to the ground, while more than a hundred small shield bearers did not care to protect their fellow archers around them, and turned around and fled backwards.
These small shield-bearers fled so fast and in such a hurry that they could even be said to have lost their way. They directly overturned the infantry phalanx arrayed behind them. At least six or seven infantrymen in the phalanx were knocked down by these small shield-bearers.
From a distance, it looked like the rain of arrows from the cavalry had set off a storm, blowing down the Jin army who had escaped the protection of their large shields, just like the waves of wheat that were cut down in pieces during the autumn harvest.
Helan Lu nodded convincingly: "The Yan Tuqi is indeed well-deserved. The rebel Murong Fa has trained elites for many years. No wonder he dares to use this army to cause chaos. The Jin army's front army has drifted, and it seems that the position is in chaos. If
Attack at this time..."
The black robe smiled slightly and looked at Duan Hui aside: "General Duan, do you think so too?"
Duan Hui’s brows were furrowed tightly and his face was solemn: “It stands to reason, but I feel something is wrong. The Jin State’s Beifu Army is one of the best soldiers in the world, how could it be so vulnerable? I’m afraid...”
Before he finished speaking, he heard three rapid blasts in front of him. Hundreds of horns blew at the same time. More than 3,000 horsemen cheered in unison, causing a new wave of ground-shaking movements.
The sound wave, with three times or five times the momentum just now, launched a full-line assault towards the Jin army's military formation. Like a huge wave, it rushed towards the chaotic embankment, and the general's flag with the word Gongsun rushed towards it.
Moving to the front, a member of his banner brandished a big ax and led the charge. Isn't it Gongsun Gui?
He Lanlu sighed: "Isn't General Gongsun too hasty? The national army here has not ordered a full-scale attack, but he went to fight against the order. Even if this battle can be won, it is not appropriate..."
The black robe suddenly laughed eerily, sharp and harsh, like a dull knife grinding against metal, making people tremble with fear and feel indescribably uncomfortable.
Murong Chao said in a deep voice: "Master, what's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with General Gongsun for not following your orders? But in my opinion, General Gongsun fought with merit and had a chance to defeat the Jin army's front army.
Should we order the army to follow up and completely defeat the enemy?!"
The black robe stopped his strange smile and said coldly: "You have damaged the warriors of our front army and lowered the morale of our entire army. Gongsun Gui deserves to die. Send an order to General Shehe of the second formation to come forward and prepare to meet our defeated army!"
