Chapter five hundred and seventy-fourth the enemy changes, the perfection of terror
Qiang Qu witnessed with his own eyes the process of a Hu knight in front being hit by an arrow. The crossbow arrow jumped out from the neck of the horse in front, and plunged downwards into the chest of the Hu knight's horse.
Without losing any strength, it penetrated the chest of the war horse, emerged from the abdomen, and pierced the waist and abdomen of the horseman!
Eternal life is in the sky, is this an arrow shot by the big yellow crossbow?
Such a distance and such power cannot be shot by a five-stone, two-stone crossbow. This is at least a three-stone or more powerful crossbow, and it is more likely to be a big yellow crossbow!
Just as he was surprised, the second wave of crossbow bolts arrived. This wave was small in number, but its accuracy was much higher, and the arrows bit the flesh. A Huqi flew upside down, and Qiang Qu saw with his own eyes again, the crossbow bolts came from here.
Ming Huqi's back was revealed, and he was lifted up into the air. He plunged diagonally into the ground, almost reaching his tail.
"Whoosh..." The second wave of volleys came again.
Qiangqu had seen the rhubarb crossbow during the battle with the Han army, as well as the extremely powerful bed crossbow and cart crossbow. The latter two and the rhubarb crossbow were both quite heavy and heavy, not to mention troublesome to move, and the pulling force was extremely large.
The speed is very slow.
But the Han army on the opposite side seemed to be moving faster than the powerful crossbow! Could it be that the Han army had made another leap forward in the powerful crossbow?
"Ang...Xilulu..." The whine of the war horses echoed across the battlefield, but Hu Qi's charging pace would not stop.
Qiang Qu tried his best to keep his eyes wide open and looked at the Han army's formation, but he didn't see a trace of the big yellow crossbow or the lathe crossbow. He only saw the Han army in the square array holding the crossbow machine and harvesting the big crops in an orderly manner.
The life of Warrior Hu.
From the distance when the crossbow started firing to the 120 steps in front of the formation, when the arrows began to fall from the sky, rows of horsemen fell down continuously. It was like a massacre of hot weapons against cold weapons in the volleyball era.
.
Covered by a curtain of arrows, when the Hu Qi army led by Qiang Qu rushed through this area, half of the thousands of Hu Qi men on three sides were killed! This is the power of crossbows.
And when Hu Qi entered a hundred steps away, the Han army's biggest card was revealed - Lian Nu.
"Whoosh...whoosh..." The arrows flying like meteors are no longer crossbow arrows, but completely the life-seeking talisman of the King of Hell.
Zhong Dayuan was one of the 200 cart drivers. In the previous battles, he had done a lot of "hard work" by helping to carry arrows. This "breakout" involved the lives of the entire army, and all the cart drivers were ordered to do so.
He joined the military ranks, albeit temporarily.
Because his previous hard work and hard work left a good impression on Zhu Biao, Zhong Dayuan was promoted to one of the temporary team leaders. But during the subsequent "military training" of sharpening his guns before the battle, Zhu Biao discovered that Zhong Dayuan was really not a leader.
. His team was rated 'poor' three times in a row.
When it was getting dark, Zhu Biao finally made the decision to wipe out the hat of Zhong Dayuan as the team leader. He was promoted from the team leader to the corps leader. Although his rank was lowered, he was sincerely relieved and confident in himself.
Zhong Dayuan, who was always dissatisfied, felt more comfortable and secure in the position of team leader.
According to previous military exercises, Zhong Dayuan's weapons were a strong bow and a scimitar. Along with the original archers, he stood behind the crossbowmen. He and another corps commander stood in the middle and rightmost position of the corps.
, what is the one standing on the far left?
Not long after, he heard the shout of an order. Zhong Dayuan bent his bow and set an arrow. Following the command of "shoot the arrow," he loosened his right thumb that was holding the arrow tightly, and the long arrow flew out diagonally upward.
Projectile! Not the flat shot he was familiar with when hunting, but a projectile.
Zhong Dayuan didn't have time to see where the arrow went and where it landed. He quickly pulled out a long arrow from the snow at his feet, opened his bow and clasped the string, but at a slightly lower angle. Amidst the shouts of orders, he released the third arrow.
Two arrows...
After all the three arrows stuck in the grass at his feet were shot, he quickly retracted his bow and retreated, and saw the last group of veterans holding repeating crossbows stepping forward to take over the infantry archers' original positions.
The machine spring swished, and there was a scream outside the phalanx.
Almost all the front troops who attacked Hu Qi were killed by arrows and crossbows. The few who managed to escape were also chopped down in front of the formation by Qiangqu's "killing chickens to scare monkeys", but they didn't even finish wading through the caltrops scattered on the ground.
There were still twenty steps in front of the formation, and he cut off the head of a Hu Qi who was in a state of complete turmoil and fled back from the front army with one knife. "There are no cowards who are greedy for life and fear of death for me, the brave warriors of Da Hu -" Qiangqu could only bite the bullet and raise his head.
With passionate slogans, he led the rear army to charge.
After firing the last crossbow, the Jinnu soldiers dropped the crossbow machine in their hands, grabbed the shields, spears, and swords around them one by one, stepped back from the top of the sledge, and stood ready within five steps of the square formation.
Qiang Qu led his troops to charge forward, and after spending twenty steps and a hundred cavalry, they finally approached the sledge defense line. With a bang - a group of war horses collided head-on with the sledge "fearless as hell".
The corners of Anaqiongqi's eyes have been twitching. The hand-to-hand combat is about to begin, and the time to make the greatest sacrifice is coming. But before that, he has already lost 1,500 to 600 riders! In the long-range attack of the Han army's crossbows,
Next, our army lost more than half of its men when they rushed to the square formation. It was really heartbreaking.
That was 50% of the total casualties in the Battle of Baishan Pass. So many Dahu warriors were lost on the road before they could reach the enemy. Even if a force of ten thousand cavalry fought fiercely with tens of thousands of Han troops, the losses would be as little as
That's it.
Ana Qiongqi didn't have time to think deeply. His many years of combat experience made him immediately issue a second order, and he threw three more thousand cavalry troops up.
boom--
boom--
boom--
Continuous collisions opened holes in the phalanx, and subsequent Huqi and Prancing Horses rushed in through these holes.
"Kill..."
The real fighting began. A row of spearmen at the head of the Han army thrust forward. The sharp spear blades immediately took away the lives of the horses and horses. At the same time, their footsteps easily avoided the horses.
collision.
Of course, not everyone can avoid the collision of war horses. Some Hu Qi with long soldiers waved their weapons crazily to block the spears thrust by the spearmen. A spearman in front of Zhu Biao was standing in front of him.
When the gun pierced the enemy's chest, he was also hit in the shoulder by the enemy holding a mace. The armor flew off, and blood suddenly flowed from his arm. A big swordsman in the back row immediately stepped forward and hit him.
As for the spearman's position, the former quickly retreated and went to find a military doctor to bandage his wounds with a depressed look on his face.
He only killed one person and was injured, which was really a shame for the current Han army.
Taking the place in the front row, the swordsman waved his sword and took a step forward. He yelled "kill" and slashed down with his sword, just in time to cut Hu Qi, who then crashed into the gap, into two halves with his sword.
Ana Qiongqi's second order was issued in a timely manner. When the second wave of Hu cavalry rushed towards the phalanx, they did not suffer as large a proportion of long-range kills as before. Although after the hand-to-hand combat began, they were still carrying out "long-range shooting"
Just a group of projectile archers.
They retreated to the second line of defense within the square formation, behind the second sledge.
Hu Qi also fired arrows back after getting close to the phalanx. However, after Hu Qi's cavalry bow was eroded by the snow, not only the range was shortened, the bowstring became soft, and the lethality was also greatly reduced.
Especially the last day and night, they had lost fuel, and the tent was dark and cold, unable to keep the temperature dry at all, which was extremely detrimental to the protection of their bows and arrows.
As for the Han army, whether in caves or on sledges, the braziers burning charcoal not only ensured the temperature of the human body, but also ensured the power of the bows and crossbows.
The second wave of Hu cavalry encountered four waves of arrows within a hundred steps, and more than 200 people were lost. However, the input of the second wave of Hu cavalry also put the Han army's formation under tremendous pressure.
There was fierce fighting on the front line.
Zhu Biao stood on the top of the second line's sledge with a strong bow in hand, staring intently at the fighting phalanx. With one arrow after another, he had already taken the lives of thirteen centurions and three thousand cavalry commanders.
The two groups of Hu cavalry before and after were completely 'accumulated' in front of the formation, "beat the drum——" Zhu Biao ordered.
After that, the Han army no longer had to be 'trapped' in the square formation. Hu Qi had now lost his greatest weapon - sprinting, and the Han army could fight back to the front of the formation.
Just like an athlete accumulating strength waiting for the starting gun for the start of the game, as soon as the drums of the war drums sounded, "Kill--" a louder shout than before broke out from the mouths of hundreds of Han army soldiers with swords and spears.
It was originally a stalemate on the front line, but the Han army immediately gained the upper hand with an overwhelming advantage.
A stab with a spear kills both the man and the horse; a chop with a knife kills both the man and the horse.
"Dang..." The three weapons were handed over together, two maces holding a broadsword.
The owner of the broadsword glared angrily and pressed down with all his strength, while the owner of the two maces raised it with all his strength, both of which were in vain.
"Pfft——" A long spear stabbed from an angle, and immediately penetrated the waist and abdomen of the owner of the mace on the left, and became a single force. The broadsword immediately gained an absolute advantage, and pressed the mace on the right to
He smashed it to the ground, then flipped the big knife around, and the blade of the knife passed by the waist of the person on the upper right.
The advantage of the Han army lies in the superior combat power of the soldiers, and the full training and running-in of the right department, which is no joke. These two full values mean that the right department now has orders and prohibitions, which means that the right department now has orders and prohibitions.
The department now cooperates flawlessly.
However, Zhu Biao did not have a high-end infantry combat formation at hand, and he had to cooperate with the sledge phalanx, so what is listed on the right now is a very simple formation that is universal for both infantry and cavalry - the phalanx.
10 defense, 10 offense, 10 speed.
In front of the rows of spears and swords, Hu Qi suffered heavy losses. The rows of Hu Qi who were "walking" towards them were knocked over by the spears stabbing neatly, and were chopped into pieces by the swords that came in like a wall.
After arranging into a square formation, Mo Dao soldiers' method of advancing like a wall was finally able to reproduce its glory on the battlefield.
There were also some Hu Qi who were at a loss and were pinned to the ground by the arrows from the second line. Although the Han army was small in number, they were attacked on three sides and counterattacked on three sides. They fought against each other without giving an inch.
The Han army's phalanx was as stable as a rock, with very little damage. The battle between the two armies was like the collision of steel and sand. The former was small but extremely hard, while the latter was large, but scattered and powerless. The battles between the two armies resulted in damage to each other.
The ratio has long exceeded 1:50.
Although Hu Qi is now full of physical strength, the physical strength of the Han army soldiers is even stronger.
Counting the number of people killed by crossbows, almost half of the two groups of 6,000 Huqi had fallen.
Zhu Biao pulled up a red battle flag, raised it in the air, swung it left and right, and the strict square formation began to change. The swordsmen and spearmen on the left and right sides centered on the first soldier in the front row of the formation, respectively.
They made an outflanking movement in a diagonal arc from left to right. Under the command of the commander and the first-level grassroots officer, the soldiers marched with guns and knives in hand, and gradually completed the transformation. It looked like two wings were opened in the phalanx.
Wrapped forward.
Any formation change in combat is very difficult. If one is not handled well, the entire array will be separated and disrupted midway. In an instant, the situation between the enemy and ourselves is reversed, and it is better to take the initiative to find a way.
However, the soldiers on the right, who were trained and run-in at 100, easily completed such changes. Military formation training and such formation changes were almost engraved in their hearts, and it was natural for the team officers to
The command was completed. The formation was still neat and uniform, and the two wings reached the designated position at almost the same time using the same steps.
On the battlefield, such a change of formation before battle is perfect. And the energy it displays is also terrifying!
Any soldier or general who knows something about war will understand.
However, it is a pity that except for Hu Qi in front of them, Ana Qiongqi, Du Lun and others were blocked from sight and could not appreciate this military magnificence.
As the two wings opened at the same time, the frontal crushing turned into the outflanking of the two wings. The Han soldiers who attacked from three sides formed an encirclement of the Hu cavalry in front of them, attacking the Hu cavalry in the center from three directions. Rows of rows
Spears were stabbed out, and rows of swords were slashing in a practiced manner. Every moment and every second, no one knew how many Hu cavalry soldiers and their horses were stabbed over and chopped to the ground. Miserable screams resounded throughout the battlefield.
Zhu Biao's eyes were shining brightly. His right part had now activated the formation-breaking attribute of the trapped camp. He was really killing enemies like mowing grass and was invincible.
Green veins popped out on Anaqiongqi's forehead. Seeing that he was being swept away by Han cavalry who were far outnumbered by him, he really wished he could kill them all.
Attacks from the flanks are always the most lethal to an army. Although Hu Qi was a standing army, his own people were killed in groups by the Han army's spears and swords, as if they didn't even have the strength to fight back. Everything was like a war
Massacre, naked massacre. The heart of fear naturally rose from the bottom of their hearts! Qiang Qu brandished the mace with both hands and frantically smashed at the three spears pierced in front of him. He had already charged several times, but nothing happened.
He was blocked by the three Han soldiers in front of him with their spears. These Han soldiers worked in groups of two or three, and their cooperation was very sophisticated. Every time he rushed forward, there would always be spears thrust at him in twos and threes.
The spear pierced his chest, and the spear next to him pierced his waist and ribs, never individually.
As a commander of ten thousand cavalry, Qiang Qu's martial arts has also reached a first-class level. No matter how tacitly coordinated the ordinary Han soldiers are, he can defeat ten warriors with one force and still be able to defeat them with one blow.
However, the Han troops in front of him really all had terrifying strength. As guns and sticks were exchanged, Qiang Qu felt a surge of impressive strength. Although he was not his opponent yet, in a single fight, he had an absolute advantage within ten moves.
Confidently take the enemy's head. But on the battlefield, you never fight alone. The Han soldiers on both sides can always make you return without success with such a simple thrust.
The person in front can block his full blow, but if he is stabbed by a spear in the side, what will happen if he doesn't retreat?
Angry and helpless, Qiang Qu danced the mace stick into a ball of bright flowers, preparing for another impact, but suddenly felt a sharp pain like a needle pricking between his eyebrows, and looked up to see a cold star flying towards his eyes!
Qiang Qu was shocked out of his wits. Of course he knew what the cold star was, and he hurriedly raised his hand to cover it. However, his movements immediately stopped at the next moment, and then he was shot into the chest by the Han soldier in front of him.
Zhu Biao shot an arrow through Qiang Qu's head. The long arrow penetrated the whole skull and hit the inner back wall of the molten gold helmet Qiang Qu was wearing. With a 'bang' sound, the helmet was knocked far away by the arrow, and then
Qiang Qu's whole head exploded.
Ana Qiongqi's eyes were dull. He didn't understand how these Han soldiers killed his six thousand elites and were defeated. He wanted to say something to Du Lun, but before he could say anything, the world in front of him quickly turned black.
.
"Woooo..." The horn of Hu Qi's troops was blown.
Ana Qiongqi was dizzy, and Du Lun quickly took over the military power. The trumpet sounded, which was the message to send troops.
"Kill..." Three thousand Hu cavalrymen from each of the three directions participated in this attack. Counting the previous 6,000 cavalrymen, there were already 15,000 cavalrymen, half of the entire army.
Du Lun himself had no backup plan at all. He had already personally led his troops to charge forward.
Zhu Biao quickly directed the infantry archers to release arrows, and some veterans came out of the phalanx with repeating crossbows.
The attacking Han army's formation quickly retracted, and when the charging Hu Qi came into sight, they reorganized into a square formation.
Cavalry and archery had been completely abandoned by Hu Qi. It was hard for the weak cavalry bows to believe that they could kill these powerful Han soldiers in front of them.
Du Lun's vision has been honed in countless battles and is extremely vicious. When the first two groups of Hu Cavaliers were defeated, he immediately judged that this was the best opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Then he threw himself into the battlefield without hesitation.
The largest number of troops that can be accommodated, and personally lead the charge.
His judgment was very accurate. He defeated the previous two groups of Han soldiers with Hu cavalry. They had already protruded a long distance from the sledge phalanx behind them. When the third wave of Hu cavalry rushed down, there was no time to retreat back into the sledge phalanx.
Facing his own rapid charge, the few hundred Han troops could only hold on.
Du Lun took the lead and jumped into the Han army's formation, followed by countless Hu cavalry like a torrent. With a shake of his big gun, a ball of blood immediately exploded on the chest of a Han army. He was originally going to stab him with this gun.
It was on the neck of the Han soldier, but when it was knocked by the Han soldier's spear, the spear fell downwards.
Then, Du Lun continued to move forward, completely cutting through the Han army's formation without stopping. After all, the Han army, which attacked from three sides, only had about a hundred people on one side.
Du Lun believed that with such a penetration tactic, the Han army would be completely divided by him. The experience of countless wars showed that as soon as the infantry formation dispersed, it would be the target of the cavalry massacre. Although the battle of the Han soldiers in front of him
His strength is so powerful that it goes against the sky, but Du Lun believes that facing the scattered Han soldiers, he can definitely eliminate them all as long as he is willing to pay a certain price. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and updated novels.
