Tangled!

Chief Tuoba Que was very confused!

The Ten Thousand Captains under the tent are right, the Tuoba tribe is a race that unites and helps each other and cannot ignore death.

But what?

What the dog-headed military advisor said makes sense. The situation is unclear now, so blindly fighting the Xiakou Army in a decisive battle has little chance of winning.

Undecided!

Tuoba Que looked at the 20,000 soldiers of the other side's cavalry division. They all had high morale, awe-inspiring fighting spirit, and a hundredfold confidence.

Definitely an elite force that is difficult to fight against.

"Chief, we have 30,000 cavalry and the opponent only has 20,000 cavalry. Why should we be afraid of the Xiakou Cavalry Division?"

Another great man said.

Those who don’t know have nothing to fear!

As the leader of a tribe, of course he cannot be as fearless as an ordinary captain of thousands or ten thousand; he must consider the life and death of the tribe.

Once a wrong decision is made, the tribe will suffer a devastating blow.

Chief Tuoba Que considered the gains and losses in his mind.

"Chief, let's fight!"

Another great man said.

Fight, fight, fight!

All of a sudden, the 30,000 iron horsemen under Chief Tuoba Que's tent raised their weapons and shouted loudly, their voices resounding through the sky.

Morale is at an all-time high, fighting spirit is overwhelming, and killing intent is awe-inspiring.

This made the originally hesitant Tuoba Que clan chief make up his mind to fight decisively and no longer care about gains and losses.

The brave man is invincible!

Fighting is about morale. When I see the Tuoba warriors under my tent, they are all full of passion, not afraid of powerful enemies, and their fighting spirit is high.

kill!

Tuoba Que clan chief shouted, holding a scimitar, clapped his horse and took the lead in killing the Xiakou Cavalry Division.

Boom!

The earth shook and thousands of horses galloped!

Seeing the Tuoba cavalry rushing toward them, Zhang Ren's lips raised slightly.

brush!

He raised his spear and swung it forward.

"Brothers, follow this general and kill the enemy!"

Zhang Rendao.

Ula!

Ula!

In an instant, the morale of the Xiakou Cavalry Division rose to its peak, and they followed Zhang Ren to attack the oncoming Tuoba cavalry.

800 steps.

600 steps.

400 steps.

150 steps.

120 steps.

When the distance between the two sides was 120 steps, Zhang Ren ordered to shoot.

Whoosh whoosh!

The Xiakou Cavalry Division opened fire first, shooting sharp arrows one after another, and rushed towards the Tuoba warriors who were rushing to kill them.

To strike first is to gain strength, to strike later is to suffer disaster.

The bows and arrows held by the cavalry division soldiers are compound bows, and their range is far greater than the bows and arrows held by the Tuoba warriors.

The effective range of the bows and arrows in the hands of the cavalry division is more than 120 steps, while the effective range of the bows and arrows in the hands of the Tuoba warriors is only less than 80 steps, which is 40 steps shorter.

Not to mention the distance of forty steps, even if there is twenty steps between the two sides, they still have a huge advantage.

In other words, the compound bows in the hands of the soldiers of the Xiakou Cavalry Division had the first-mover advantage of the second round of arrow rain.

This is incredible. The first-mover advantage of the second round of arrow rain will definitely be a devastating blow to the Tuoba tribe.

The heavy rain of arrows covered the sky and blocked the sun.

Puff puff puff!

Twenty thousand sharp arrows flew in the sky, so densely packed that the sun's rays were blocked.

Before the Tuoba warriors could react, the sound of sharp arrows piercing their bodies was heard.

Pieces fell down.

One by one, the Tuoba warriors were hit by arrows, and some warriors were hit by several sharp arrows. They fell off their horses one after another and were trampled to pieces by the horses behind them.

The unmanned horses were scurrying around on the battlefield, smashing the Tuoba cavalry formation into pieces and swaying here and there.

chaos!

A mess.

Bang bang bang!

All of a sudden, the battlefield was like a bumper car, with the horses behind rushing into the horses in front of them. Even the Tuoba warriors who survived were knocked off their horses.

The Tuoba warriors really did not expect that the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers of the Xiakou Cavalry Division could shoot so far.

Completely beyond comprehension.

There are also sharpshooters among the grassland races, and there are some who can shoot hundreds of paces, but they are in the minority after all.

The soldiers of the cavalry division can basically shoot arrows at a distance of hundreds of steps, which is really unexpected, I didn't expect it!

A wave of arrows killed thousands of Tuoba warriors.

Efficient shooting!

Whoosh whoosh!

The soldiers of the Xiakou Cavalry Division fired a second round of arrows, hitting the Tuoba warriors who were galloping towards them.

Fast as lightning!

Under normal circumstances, in a cavalry battle, three arrows can be fired before the two armies engage in close combat. That is the basic operation.

The Xiakou Army was different. The soldiers held compound bows with a range of more than 120 steps and could shoot four rounds of arrows.

The grassland races of this era had relatively primitive bows and arrows, and their shooting range could reach between sixty and eighty steps.

It’s not that the grassland races have no strength, it’s that their bows are too weak. The normal shooting range of the Central Plains people is eighty steps, which is about twenty steps higher than that of the grassland races.

The soldiers of the Xiakou Army held compound bows, which had a longer range and more powerful power.

The technical advantages feel a bit like dimensionality reduction and suppression.

In the past, when Central Plains soldiers fought against grassland races, bows and arrows had always had an advantage in terms of range. After all, the Central Plains people had better skills.

Puff puff puff!

One after another, Tuoba warriors fell.

As the distance between the two armies becomes closer, the lethality of the bow and arrow becomes greater.

The devastated Tuoba warriors were mercilessly tortured and killed purely unilaterally, and could only suffer in silence.

With the advantage of the second round of arrow rain, more than 2,000 Tuoba warriors fell.

In the third and fourth round of arrows, the Tuoba warriors killed nearly 5,000 soldiers, suffering very heavy losses.

The Tuoba warriors started shooting.

But what?

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

The arrows pierced the bodies of the soldiers of the Xiakou Army and were bounced away, without causing many casualties to the soldiers of the Xiakou Cavalry Division.

There is no way, Xiakou Cavalry Division soldiers wear armor with superior performance on important parts, which cannot be penetrated by Tuoba warriors' bows and arrows.

At most, the soldiers of the cavalry division would be slightly injured in non-vital parts, and it would not be fatal with one arrow.
To be continued...
