The power of the crossbow is fully demonstrated at this moment!
The sound of the sharp crossbow bolts penetrating flesh and blood was like a sharp knife tip piercing a rubber water bag. With the weird popping sound, the charging Xianbei cavalry was like a small iron hammer being thrown out by the handle.
As if it was hit, the high-speed moving speed was immediately choked, and then collapsed!
A row of crossbow bolts were fired, and the Xianbei cavalry rushing at the front seemed to have been swept away by an invisible giant hand, and they were turned upside down!
Then move on to the second row!
The Xianbei Qian Cavalry Commander brought not many men in a hurry, so the number of people tested was less than a hundred. With such a small number, there was no way to break through the suppression of the crossbowmen...
The powerful crossbows of later generations could even be used to hunt black bears and wild boars. Even the powerful muscles of black bears and the thick mud armor of wild boars are not immune to the penetrating damage of crossbow arrows, not to mention ordinary people and horses.
Although the crossbow arrows of the Han Dynasty cannot be completely compared with the crossbows of later generations, their lethality is still the best among all individual long-range weapons.
The trained soldiers did not shoot at the Xianbei cavalry at the front, but each aimed at the Xianbei cavalry directly in front of them. After one shot, they retreated in order, and then let the soldiers behind them
He fired the second shot, and then the third person. At this time, he also used the opener to open the crossbow string, pressed the crossbow arrow, and then came to the forefront again, aiming at the Xianbei cavalry directly in front, and slowly pulled the button
The hanging knife of the crossbow was dismounted...
One hundred and fifty powerful crossbows, fifty crossbow bolts each time, one round for three people. Before the second round was finished, the Xianbei cavalry who were tentatively attacking could no longer gallop...
Those who were shot in vital parts have died, while some guys who don’t know whether they are lucky or unlucky are lying on the ground howling miserably...
Being hit by a crossbow arrow, all men and horses fell down within a hundred steps!
Although the sight was not so clear in the dark night, the miserable howls of the men and horses could be clearly heard. The Xianbei Qianqi Commander took a breath of cold air. It seemed that it was just a matter of blinking a few times. Although he tried to charge
The Hundred Cavalry Commander is not the full strength of one hundred people, but the speed of killing...
A remaining impression resurfaced in Xianbei Qianqi Commander's mind. He seemed to have heard an old man in the tribe talk about the Han army's powerful weapon before, but he had never encountered it before, but he never thought of it.
Now we meet here.
Although the cavalry has a certain advantage when attacking the infantry, this advantage is not completely certain. If the infantry is well prepared, just like the chariot formation most often used by the Han army, the cavalry cannot defeat it in an instant.
Yes, and having an advantage does not mean there will be no casualties. If the damage continues like just now, this is indeed unacceptable.
Xianbei Qianqi Commander looked at the tragic situation in front of him, then looked at the torches in the distance, and finally looked at the shadowy figures in the darkness. In the dark night, even the Han army on the opposite side had not resisted the horse and whether there were any traps.
They couldn't see clearly, so they didn't dare to move rashly after all, but they were reluctant to retreat, so they had to quickly send people to report the news to Danghu, and on the other hand, they sent some reconnaissance cavalry to the two sides, and then led the people themselves
Confronted Huang Cheng from a distance...
The best way to deal with the Han army's Phalanx is not to attack frontally, but to outflank it from both sides, or even sneak to the rear of the Han army to attack. It is already the middle of the night, and it may be possible in an hour or two.
As day breaks, as long as the field of vision becomes clearer, the advantage of the cavalry will return to his own hands.
Therefore, the Xianbei Qianqi Commander waited quietly, like a pack of wolves on the grassland, staring closely at the opponent, waiting for the opportunity to come...
× × × × × × × × × ×
After the messenger finished explaining the overall situation, Da Danghu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then let the messenger go down first while he began to think about it.
In fact, war and gambling are similar to a certain extent. Just like those gamblers who are eager to lose, they often risk their own wealth and life on the gambling table. Now the big players in Xianbei are also facing this.
The choice is whether to continue to put all your capital on the gamble, or to wait.
The class rule of the Xianbei people is not like the social model of the Han Dynasty, but more like an alliance system between tribes. The large tribes control the small tribes, but once the large tribes show signs of decline, other tribes will take their place.
This is very similar to the wolf pack pattern on the grassland.
Originally, Xianbei wanted to use Pingding County as a gathering point. One was to use the victory in Pingding County to declare its powerful force against other barbarian races, such as the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan, and wait for others as in previous years.
The barbarian race came up as vassals and fought together, but now an inexplicable commotion caused the original plan to be shattered.
Da Danghu thought that if he waited any longer in Pingding County, he would probably become a joke.
The envoys have been dispatched for many days, but the Qiang and Xiongnu have yet to be seen. This fact shows that these two losers are now unstable. Although they will not have the courage to attack Xianbei on their own initiative, looking at the current situation, they probably won't.
Will fight with the Han people. The Wuhuan people who basically participated in the original seem to have close contacts with a Han person in Jizhou this year, so they only supported it in name, but in fact the people and horses did not move...
In previous years, Xianbei was the main force heading south, with the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan traveling on the left and right, causing the Han people to worry about one thing and not the other, and they were very worried.
Now it seems that I am in a state of distress, but I have become the big one myself...
What to do next?
Dadanghu turned around and asked: "How many of our horses have been recovered now?"
After the horses that bombed the camp ran wildly for a while, they found that they had not been harmed, and then they slowly calmed down. When they heard the calls of the familiar people in the tribe, they would gradually gather together. This is how the horses on the grassland
The characteristic of a herd is that you never have to worry too much about the horses scattering...
His subordinates immediately went to make statistics and then said: "About five thousand people came back, and some may have traveled far away..."
Yes, it is possible that he ran away and was not found for a while, but it is also possible that he was abducted by the Han people!
As long as the horses in front don't stop, the horses behind will follow subconsciously. This is also a characteristic of the grassland horses...
This time, it was simply a huge shame!
If things go wrong, it won't be a big deal if you become a joke in your tribe. If your tribe becomes a joke in the grassland, then...
Dadanghu grinded his teeth, he had five thousand horses, that was enough!
Although the Han people this time seem to be different from those he encountered before, it is not the custom of the Xianbei people to defend the city alone! The Han people's supplies cannot be defended by defending the city, but must be snatched by war horses and swords!
Dadanghu looked at the sky, and then said in a deep voice: "All the leaders immediately go back to organize their troops and horses, make a fire to cook, and those with horses will set off in an hour! Those without horses will temporarily stay here to guard the supplies and continue to search for lost items.
horse!"
Since I lost face on the battlefield, I naturally have to get it back on the battlefield!
Make a fuss...
Where did all the food money go?!
Stir-fried green peppers with mustard every day!
Get a fish or freeze it, it will be raw inside when cooked!
Even the money between the teeth has to be dug out to get some...
This is really...
No more talking...
At this stage, the Xianbei people don’t have Tuoba and Murong, but they have a guy like Kebi Neng...
The entire Mongolian Plateau has been changing in succession, but the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has not changed much. After the Qiang people entered Tibet, they formed Tubo, which lasted for a long time...
