Chapter 542 A surprise appearance of the crossbow

Qiemo is outside the city.

Luo Zhang came flying with his army, and when he got close to the city gate, he ran out of an arc and cut through like a round-moon scimitar. Many people threw away the beheaded corpses with all their strength, piled them up, and continued with the front team.

Go forward, circle around, and form a formation within a stone's throw. The formation is still relatively neat.

The sudden appearance of the cavalry scared the defenders in the city and quickly alerted them, while sending people to report the situation.

They were obviously a people on horseback, but they built cities and settled down. Luo Zhang didn't understand this, but he was too lazy to bother. He urged his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone to answer!"

The defenders on the city wall stood with their bows and arrows drawn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

After waiting for a while, someone shouted in barely understandable Tang dialect: "Who is coming?"

"The vanguard army of the Tang Dynasty came here under orders to collect no less than one of the captive Tang people, and we will pay 50,000 cattle and sheep each, otherwise your kingdom will be destroyed, don't say it was unforeseen." Luo Zhang roared murderously.

"Tang Vanguard Army?"

The other party shouted in surprise: "The Tang State and the Turks have always lived in peace and did not invade when floods broke out. Why did they suddenly raise an army?"

"If you don't understand, I say it again, hand over the Tang people who were kidnapped by you, no less, and pay 50,000 cattle and sheep each, otherwise the Qin Kingdom will be destroyed. If you still don't understand, find someone who understands."

Come here, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Luo Zhang's words were loud and full of murderous intent.

There was silence in the city.

After waiting for a while, another powerful voice shouted: "Tang people, listen up, the great Qiemo Kingdom is not afraid of any challenge, and the warriors of Qiemo dare to face all enemies, and will surpass Larry without fear of death."

Luo Zhang came to establish his power and spread the message. He was not attacking the city. He was not angry. He sneered and said: "In that case, let's start a war. Remember not to regret it. Without water, I will see how long you can hold on."

"You... despicable villain, you have the guts to have a fight between you and me."

"Come on, come out if you have the guts." Luo Zhang didn't give up and directly accepted the challenge.

"Just come and wait." The other party yelled angrily.

Luo Zhang was interested as soon as he heard that he couldn't fight and run away. It's not embarrassing. I can take down the Pu Tao tribe, but I definitely can't take down the Qiemo city. But it doesn't prevent me from killing the enemy to establish my power and become famous. I have a horse in my hand.

Tightly, his eyes were as bright as a torch, staring at the city gate ahead.

Soon, the city gate opened wide, and a group of cavalry rushed out. The leader was wearing chainmail. Chainmail was very precious in the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that the person who came here was of extraordinary status, and he was very skilled, and each of them was armed with a crossbow.

Luo Zhang was so familiar with this kind of repeating crossbow that his expression changed drastically. Qiemo's smelting level was lagging behind and he couldn't even make a decent knife. How could he possibly create a more sophisticated repeating crossbow?

Moreover, the style is clearly the standard repeating crossbow of the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Xue Rengui said that the enemy suddenly stopped leaving the city to pursue him. He was holding back his big move, waiting for everyone to come to him and die.

More and more cavalry rushed out, all with repeated crossbows, and they were fierce. There were still many rushing out, which could not be provoked. Luo Zhang quickly turned around and shouted: "Follow me, retreat!"

After saying that, Luo Zhang rode away and the army quickly followed, but there were some orders and prohibitions.

However, cavalry continued to pour out of the city, all equipped with repeating crossbows, chasing after them with murderous intent. It took a while before anyone came out of the city gate again, and the city gate suddenly closed.

Luo Zhang led the men to run wildly. Fortunately, he deliberately slowed down and reduced his horse power when he came. Otherwise, the war horses would not be able to run at this moment and they would definitely die. When he saw that there were ten thousand pursuers, each holding a repeating crossbow, Luo Zhang

Zhang Tong's eyes suddenly shrank, and he shouted to the person next to him: "Take your people and go back quickly to deliver the order. Let's say that the enemy army is ten thousand, all armed with repeating crossbows. They are the standard repeating crossbows of the Tang Dynasty. Go quickly, and you must spread the news."

arrive."

"Follow the order!" the other party quickly agreed.

"Others, follow me." Luo Zhang shouted, leading his men to quickly change direction, preparing to divert the enemy away.

The Ten Thousand Repeater Crossbows are very terrifying and cannot be stopped without preparation. Luo Zhang is even more worried about the enemy following him. If he waits until he is ready to attack, he will be caught between the enemy and ourselves, in a dilemma, and become a burden.

The army followed Luo Zhang and turned around, rushing forward for a distance. However, they found that the enemy did not pursue them, but moved forward along the river bank. Luo Zhang reacted and shouted: "No, the enemy's target is the camp. Send the order, and the army will follow. Keep it up."

Keep your distance and don't fight with him head-on."

The flag soldiers waved their flags to spread the news.

The army followed Luo Zhang and ran in an arc, chasing the enemy. When they got close, they hung behind them, keeping their distance and not engaging the enemy. Once the ten thousand repeated crossbows were unleashed, five thousand people around them would not be enough to fill their teeth.

"Why do they have so many repeating crossbows?"

Luo Zhang couldn't figure it out, and he gritted his steel teeth in anger. If he didn't have a crossbow, he would definitely give it a good hit.

The enemy general was also gritting his teeth angrily. He felt uncomfortable being followed behind him and couldn't let go of his hands and feet. A general next to him shouted: "Prince, the enemy is behind us, it's very troublesome. If we continue to charge directly into the formation as planned, I'm afraid that

If we are attacked from behind, why don't my subordinates lead people to kill them all?"

"There are five thousand of them, how many do you need?" the prince asked angrily.

"With a continuous crossbow shot, a thousand is enough." The other party said confidently.

The prince thought for a while and felt that in an open area with no obstructions, a thousand repeating crossbows could kill five thousand people, so he agreed: "That's fine, go ahead, be careful. I will lead the people forward and try to get it all at once."

I'm going to kill my enemies and show my reputation."

The other party nodded solemnly, with fanatical eyes, jerked the horse's head and rushed to the other side, shouting: "Follow me and kill all the enemies behind you."

A thousand men and horses turned around and kept urging the horses.

The rear of the army.

Luo Zhang saw someone turn around and fight back. He estimated that there were about a thousand people. If they were ordinary people, they could all be eaten in one charge, but it was different if the opponent had a repeating crossbow.

Retreating will only lead to passive beatings, not to mention that the horse power will not last long, and rushing forward will even lead to death.

The enemy is getting closer and a decision must be made quickly.

Luo Zhang had murderous intent in his eyes. Since there was no way to avoid it, he would fight. He shouted: "One group goes to the left, two groups to the right, and three groups go around to the enemy's rear. The others lie down, spread out, and sprint."

The army quickly changed its formation, and countless people rushed to both sides.

The remaining people lay down one after another, almost lying on the horse's back, holding the scimitar tightly with both hands. Everyone had practiced sprint training. Although they were not very skilled, they had mastered the basic movement essentials. To put it bluntly, they just hid well and relied on the scimitar and horse power to kill the enemy.

, whether you can win or not, the rest is left to fate.

The enemy did not expect that Luo Zhang would suddenly change his formation and encircle him from all sides. He was suddenly shocked. Liannu fought face to face. As long as the output continued, many people would die, but encirclement on all sides was different.

Looking at the opponent rushing over desperately, the enemy general was a little confused. How to fight?

At the critical moment of life and death, the enemy general also risked his life and shouted: "Shoot!"

"Boohoo!"

The crossbow bolts roared out of the barrel, densely packed, like a deadly net covering the front.

Luo Zhang gritted his teeth and charged forward. If he didn't charge, he would die. He risked his life, lowered his body as low as possible, turned around and shouted: "Hide everything, don't raise your head, use the horse's neck to protect yourself, speed up the sprint!"

Acceleration sprint is a tactic in which everyone swings their machetes and slashes at the horse's butt.

The war horse was stinging and its speed suddenly increased.

At this time, the crossbow arrows flew past everyone, and the terrifying whistle made people's scalp numb.

Many war horses were hit by crossbow arrows, but they were not fatal enough. Instead, they aroused anger and desire for survival. With their butts chopped off, a surge of potential suddenly burst out, and their speed increased strangely again.

The faster the speed, the closer the distance between the two sides is, which means the enemy has less time to take action.

After five rounds of crossbow bolts, the two armies collided fiercely.

Luo Zhang took the lead and allowed his horses to charge. He stretched out his sharp scimitars and cut the enemies on both sides. This enemy army was all equipped with leather armor, but the leather armor was as fragile as tofu in front of the scimitars. Coupled with the terrifying horse speed, the curved

The knife tore open the flesh and bones, bringing up a shower of blood.

"boom!"

Some war horses collided with each other, making bursts of muffled noises. The people on the horses were thrown away, and when they landed, they were trampled by the horses, making heart-wrenching screams.

In the face of a life-and-death battle, no one cared about their companions. The army followed Luo Zhang and continued to charge forward.

At this time, people on both sides rushed over and fired arrows at the enemy.

There was a large army in front of them charging desperately. The arrows on both sides were dense like rain. The enemy troops could no longer hold on and fell off their horses one after another.

Surrounded on all sides, a thousand enemies were quickly killed.

Luo Zhang reined in his horse and stopped, glanced at the battlefield, then at Qiemo's army that had gone far away, and shouted: "Clean the battlefield, collect all the crossbows and crossbow arrows and take them away, take your own people with you as well, move quickly.

"

Everyone dismounted and collected the corpses of the repeating crossbows and companions.

In this battle, everyone charged with repeating crossbows and lost hundreds of people, but they were able to kill a thousand people and capture a thousand repeating crossbows. Luo Zhang felt it was worth it.

After a while, they cleaned up normally and the army pursued them.

Luo Zhang was inexplicably worried. Can he withstand a 10,000-gun crossbow?
