Liu Yu boarded the arrow tower inside the village wall. There were more than thirty arrow towers lined up in a row. All the soldiers were hidden behind the tower wall, holding three-shot infantry crossbows in their hands, covering their faces from time to time.
Nose, or simply cover the face and mouth with the scarf under the neck to resist the stench of these Huns soldiers, while the heartbeat is speeding up, and the eyes are bright, staring in the direction of Liu Yu's arrow tower.
Liu Yu's nose was twitching slightly. He could estimate the enemy's advance distance by the concentration of the odor. Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps. The roars of the Huns soldiers were mixed with that.
The smell was getting closer and closer, and had already passed the killing range of Liu Yu's crossbows. The Huns soldiers standing in the first row, with their pitted and peeling faces exposed to the sun, also became
become clearly visible.
Tan Pingzhi counted in a low voice: "Seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps." When he said this, he looked up at Liu Yu, his voice trembling: "Brother Jinu, it's fifty steps."
.”
Liu Yu didn't even look at him and said in a low voice: "How many times have I told you that in the army, you can only call me general, and you are not allowed to call me brother Jinu. Pingzi, we will fight you after thirty steps!"
As they spoke, these Huns soldiers shouted and suddenly turned from a trot into a sprint at full speed. The distance of about twenty steps was reached in an instant, but no one realized that they had crossed a piece of grass that seemed to have fallen accidentally on the ground.
fork.
Liu Yu's eyes widened suddenly. He was the first to jump up from the archery tower. He clicked the three-company infantry crossbow three times in his hand. Suddenly, three crossbow bolts flew out like meteors. At the same time, a sky rose from the archery tower.
A red flag flew in the wind, like a burning flame.
All the soldiers on the more than 30 archery towers jumped up. The repeating crossbows in the hands of more than 200 people were fired continuously, pouring densely into the queue of these Huns soldiers. Hundreds of crossbow arrows were like a black mass.
The storm swept through the crowd and cut down these Huns soldiers like grain.
The standard infantry crossbow of the Jin army has the power of three stones. At a distance of thirty paces, one arrow can penetrate more than two people against such unarmored or lightly armored infantry. The densely attacking Huns soldiers will be cleaned by these crossbow arrows.
Screams kept coming, and the light of blood kept emerging. The one or two hundred people in front fell down in an instant. Some people had their chests and abdomens pierced, and their intestines were bleeding, but their bodies were still running based on inertia until they rushed forward.
After taking five or six steps, he fell to the ground, bleeding and dying.
After Liu Yu quickly fired the infantry crossbow of the third company, he turned around and picked up another loaded crossbow from behind, and fired again at the scattered enemy group. The Huns soldiers behind him who had just fallen to the ground and got up, fired again.
There were bursts of screams, and groups fell down. Many people turned around and ran back, but they were still injured by the soldiers' crossbows. Their backs were filled with crossbow arrows, which directly penetrated their bodies and were stained with blood.
Fragments of sheepskin were flying in the air, mixed with various pieces of human flesh and small pieces of internal organs, and scattered all over the battlefield.
Duyan's face was gloomy, and Saibada's voice beside him was trembling: "Great chief, this, this is at least one or two thousand strong crossbowmen. Otherwise, how could there be such a powerful continuous shot? We are afraid that we will be hit.
There is an ambush, it’s better to retreat quickly, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to retreat!”
Duyan gritted his teeth and shouted: "I'm afraid, they have used up all their bows and crossbows this time. They want to scare us away, but I don't want to be fooled. Just blow the trumpet for me, and the cavalry will rush up and use it."
Use the lasso to pull down these broken fences, rush in, and kill them!"
As Duyan's order was issued, the Hun soldiers who were originally scattered on both sides began to make shrill whistles and stepped forward one after another. They fired waves of arrows from their horses and attacked the arrow towers.
, the sharp arrows immediately hit the wooden planks on the arrow tower like hedgehogs, completely wiping out the archers, who had an average of five crossbows per person, all of them could only lie down on the arrow tower, and occasionally some
People stood up to shoot at the Huns riding outside the arrow tower, but they were always shot down by the arrows. They fell down from the arrow tower screaming and died.
Liu Yu's expression was calm. At this moment, he was lying on the arrow tower. Two layers of wooden boards and two layers of cooked cowhide inside and outside made the arrow tower he was in very safe. The whizzing arrows kept shooting from his head.
Flying over, he was indifferent and remained motionless, looking at the situation outside from the small observation port.
The first wave of Xiongnu spearmen who attacked just now killed three to four hundred people in five rounds of crossbow strikes. The remaining people were lying on the ground pretending to be dead and did not dare to move. Now they saw the arrow tower on the wall of the village.
They stopped firing arrows and stood up one after another. Many people rushed to the fences outside the village with their guns raised. They aimed at these fences with a barrage of stabbings. Some of the bolder people simply threw away their spears and went to pull the wooden sticks.
I want to open these fences.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, and he nodded to Tan Pingzhi on the side. Tan Pingzhi understood the idea, and suddenly raised another green flag. He saw a sudden shaking in the soil at the fence. It seemed that
In the ordinary land, more than two hundred soldiers armed with spears suddenly emerged. Xiang Jing led the team and stabbed these Huns soldiers who were pulling up the fence.
They cooperated very well. They formed a group of three and stabbed one person directly. They kept chanting rhythmically: "One, four, five, two, five, four, one, eight, eight."
These Huns soldiers did not expect that there was an enemy ambush underground behind the fence. They stabbed more than a hundred people to death in an instant. The remaining two hundred people fled backwards without their lives. How could they bother to pull the fence again?
More than two hundred lightly-armed auxiliary soldiers, under the leadership of Wei Yongzhi, rushed out from the gaps between the spearmen with bows and arrows in hand. Facing the fleeing Huns soldiers, they fired a burst of bows and arrows, and another burst of screams.
Of the Hun soldiers who had escaped thirty or forty steps away, fifty or sixty of them were suddenly hit by arrows in the back, screaming and returning. Some of them were hit by six or seven arrows and fell to the ground, crying.
He crawled back, but none of his companions came back to save him.
Duyan sneered and said: "There is indeed an ambush, but it seems that this is all they can do. Send the order, the cavalry will charge me, the infantry archers will step forward to shoot and continue to suppress the archery tower. The cavalry will use the lasso to pull down the fence for me.
If you fall, just rush in and kill. Also, call 300 eagle shooters to light rockets for me, and shoot them all at the arrow tower with the flag. Damn, the enemy general must be up there. I originally wanted to capture him alive, but now
I can’t care so much, just cum!”
A shower of arrows flew towards the arrow tower where Liu Yu was located. This time, all the arrows shot were rockets. The rockets shot by the best archers among the Huns soldiers flew out in long arcs and went straight to the arrow tower.
