Chapter 935: Bows and crossbows defeat enemy cavalry

As Liu Yu's military order was issued, there was a sound of triggers, and a row of crossbow bolts roared out, heading straight for the cavalry on the opposite side. Because these Northern Army Mansion had already retreated into the original grassland that was burnt black.

On the ground, there is no usual dust and dirt on the ground. These cavalrymen rushing forward cannot raise dust as usual and are hidden in the fog. Everyone standing on the stirrups can see clearly, about 200 steps away.

The distance is as clear as the target for daily practice.

All these tactical actions have been practiced thousands of times in normal times. The five crossbowmen from each team rushed out, stared at a target, and fired dozens of crossbow bolts at the same time.

The left and right chests, abdomen, and neck, the most lethal parts, were instantly nailed with crossbow bolts, and Chuuya's cavalry didn't even have time to hum before they were knocked out of their stirrups by the powerful impact of the crossbow bolts.

Many people directly hit their companions behind them. In just one round of shooting, more than twenty riders fell like this.

The Yan army's light cavalry originally stood in their stirrups, drawing their bows and preparing to fire. The effective killing distance of the bows and arrows, which were about two stones and five buckets, was about eighty steps. But when hit by this crossbow arrow, the distance of two hundred steps was

There were more than 200 riders in the field, and the remaining 200 riders felt panic in their hearts. Many people loosened their bow strings directly, and only heard the sound of "swish" piercing the air, and arrows swooped in like locusts.

The flying crossbowmen in front of the Beifu army fell down dozens of steps away from them. The farthest arrow flew ten steps away from the toes of the crossbowman standing outside.

, inserted into the scorched earth.

A roar sounded from the Beifu Army's formation: "Wind, wind, wind!"

Following this rhythmic roar, these crossbowmen quickly turned the mechanism on the crossbow arm, and only heard a "click". The crossbow arm that had been fired just turned, and a new crossbow arm turned up. The sergeant

They pulled the hinge on the crossbow machine hard, and the crossbow string was quickly pulled, and the new crossbow arm was attached. All this would take at least half a minute to replace an ordinary crossbow, but with the assistance of these skilled Beifu sergeants and sophisticated mechanisms,

Then, the Yan Army cavalry rushed out more than ten steps, and in less than five seconds, they completed the preparations for firing again.

The crossbowmen of each team gave the order: "Aim!"

All the crossbowmen raised their crossbows again, and in almost an instant, they aimed at the new target. A group of five crossbowmen came out and followed the enemy army pointed by the captain, and the range-finding soldiers behind them started.

He yelled at the top of his lungs: "The enemy's distance is one hundred and fifty steps!"

Liu Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted sternly: "Shoot!"

As soon as his words came out, there was another scream of crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows were fired at this distance. The power of the four-stone hard crossbow was enough to penetrate the iron armor. The leather armor worn by these lightly armored riders was even

The cloth armor was like paper in front of the crossbow arrow. There was a scream, accompanied by blood mist. After the human body was penetrated by such a high-speed kinetic energy arrow, the sound of blood spurting out was like

The wind blew through the woods, which was breathtaking and frightening.

There was another sound of bow strings. This time, because the distance was about fifty steps closer, many arrows could already reach the crossbowmen. After all, the galloping horses could enhance the inherent shooting range, but still

Not one arrow could hit the bodies of the crossbowmen. They continued to pull the string and change arrows calmly and unhurriedly. They didn't even raise their heads to look at it. They were just charging fiercely. The first group of Yan Jun Qingqi, who had at least a hundred riders,

, about half of the riders in the front row have fallen down, and they are still impacting, but there are more than fifty riders. Not only that, the momentum is also much weaker. Those riders who were all standing in the stirrups are now mostly

He leaned tightly on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck as his own cover.

When the crossbowmen raised their four-stone repeating crossbows again, the cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed within a hundred paces. A wild whistle sounded, and all the Xianbei light cavalry straightened up from their horses and pulled up their bowstrings.

, and fired a burst of fire at the crossbowmen.

Almost at the same time, Liu Yu's roar was accompanied by the sound of the crossbow trigger. For a moment, the arrows and crossbows in the air were as dense as locusts, and some arrows even collided directly in the air.

fall.

There was a continuous "pop" sound, and six or seven crossbowmen were suddenly struck with one to three arrows. Two crossbowmen who were shot in vital parts spurted blood from their mouths and fell down.

Down, the other people who were slightly injured, like the others who were not injured, quickly retreated behind their own shields. The flying geese array crossbow array that had been stretched out just now disappeared.

Without a trace.

On the other hand, the cavalry on the opposite side, the first row of which was still charging, numbered less than thirty. They were yelling wildly, and some of them even jumped directly on the horse's back, standing on the high back of the saddle.

, pulled up the big bow, pointed it at the opposite shield, and launched a burst of crazy bow firing. At this moment, they had forgotten that they were light cavalry, and were ready to directly collide with the infantry phalanx of the Beifu Army like elephants and cavalry.

Liu Yu was still standing alone in front of the entire military formation, about ten steps away. His iron sword was already in his hand, and it was spinning like flying. More than ten bow arrows were fired at him, and they were killed before they even got within a foot of him.

They chopped down one after another, and several broken arrows crossed the side of his face and landed on the shield behind him. With a "ding" sound, the wooden shield was nailed onto it.

The Xianbei riders on the opposite side also discovered the Jin army standing at the front. It seemed that it should be an easier target to shoot than the Jin army behind the shield. Several people who looked like team captains began to shout crazily, and those who originally fell

Behind, the second line of cavalry, which was about twenty steps away from the first row, also accelerated to catch up at this time. More than a hundred cavalry, crowded together, crossed the charred battlefield with sporadic flames in many places.

The corpses of our own men and horses who fell in front were rushing towards Liu Yu. Both men and horses were gnashing their teeth and their eyes were almost spitting out fire, vowing to trample this ignorant Han man into a pulp!

On the small high hill, Murong Chui raised his white eyebrows slightly. Murong De on the other side shook his head: "What a pity, what a pity. Liu Yu is so confident that he is arrogant. Does he really think that his flesh and blood can...

Block the full-speed impact of the cavalry? Alan, when you were in the Beifu Army, was this how they dealt with the cavalry? "

Murong Lan sighed softly, and blurted out almost at the same time as Liu Yu: "Fei Yang!"
