In just three rounds of bow and arrow fire, the charging Hegel cavalry lost nearly a thousand riders. In addition, they stumbled into a horse trap and were trampled to death by their companions behind them.
In this round of charge, before they even reached the enemy, they lost nearly two thousand riders!
Such a loss made Gebatu, who was commanding from the rear, angry but helpless.
The enemy was well prepared, and all kinds of defenses were well built and waiting for work. However, as the attacking side, we could only rush the attack in a hurry to prevent the rest of the opponent's troops from coming to support. Such losses were inevitable.
Gebatu had already been prepared in his heart.
But fortunately, the trap has been leveled. The opponent's archers fired three consecutive volleys, which must have consumed a lot of energy. However, his own army has already rushed to a hundred steps, and is only a blink of an eye away from the opponent's front army. In this way The loss is still worth it.
As soon as the Hegel cavalry showed any signs of stopping, Gebatu quickly discovered it and immediately shouted an order: "Don't stop, the enemy is right in front of you. The warriors of the Hegel tribe rushed over and killed them all!"
The Hegel cavalry, who had been frightened by the three rounds of arrow rain, immediately reacted after hearing this. Yes, they have all rushed here. What are they afraid of?
The morale that had been a little low instantly rebounded, and everyone started charging again with howls and strange screams!
But while they paused, the Fifth Army did not delay at all.
Taking advantage of the gap, he quickly put the bow and arrow back on his back, took off the repeating crossbow hanging from his waist, and then set up the repeating crossbow array. The three rows at the front stood separately, striding half-crouching, and holding the repeating crossbows in three postures. The Hegel cavalry restarted their charge and entered within a hundred paces.
Following the command of Commander Sun Yun, more than 700 repeating crossbows pulled the triggers in unison, and a uniform sound of machine sounds sounded. More than 700 repeating crossbows fired out crossbow arrows like a storm!
A crossbow box with ten arrows, a total of seven thousand crossbow arrows, poured towards the charging Hegel cavalry in less than ten breaths. In an instant, the charging Hegel cavalry were cut down in rows like mowing grass. Cum.
Within ten breaths of time, all the Hegel cavalry who rushed within a hundred steps were swept away, and the ground was filled with corpses of men and horses filled with arrows.
"Gudong!"
Such terrifying lethality instantly frightened the Hegel cavalry who had just had high morale and wanted to kill all the two thousand escorts like melons and vegetables.
Those knights who were lucky enough not to be within a hundred steps distance looked at the Shura field-like scene not far away in front of them. They tightened the reins with their hands and stopped their horses a hundred steps away. Their Adam's apple swallowed hard. He was drooling in horror, with a look of horror on his face.
However, the cavalry behind them could not see the scene in front. The front stopped suddenly. The cavalry behind them were not prepared and had no time to hold on to their horses. They suddenly collided with the cavalry who had just stopped in front. In an instant, A while of people fell on their backs.
But even if they were hit, the cavalrymen in front who saw the scene used their backhands to hold on to their fellow soldiers behind them, refusing to let themselves be knocked within a hundred steps.
They don’t want to be hedgehogs!
"Ouch! Why did the one in front stop? I was hit and killed!"
"Ouch, what are you doing!"
The commotion of the collision caused the Hegel cavalrymen in the rear who were unaware of the situation to curse and wonder what was going on in the front.
The entire Hegel cavalry was slightly commotion.
Gebatu, who was sitting at the rear, immediately noticed something was wrong and sent his own soldiers to investigate the situation. Soon the situation at the front was reported back.
After learning about the scene caused by the terrifying repeating crossbows of the Fifth Army, Gebatu fell silent instantly. He was not a fool to be the Khan of Hegel's tribe.
He already knew the terrifying nature of this weapon just from the description of the personal guard. It was almost as if it was specially designed to target cavalry. Against such a high frequency of attacks, the cavalry would be defeated. Once it entered the attack range, I can't even run away!
Gebatu quickly thought of the only way for the cavalry to face such a terrifying weapon, and that was to kill them with human lives!
The consumption of crossbow arrows by such a weapon must be terrifying, and the personal guards also brought him a crossbow arrow picked up from the edge. It was actually an iron arrowhead, the kind made of fine steel.
According to the guards' inspection, all the crossbow arrows that can be seen are made of the same material.
Therefore, Gebatu concluded that the enemy definitely did not carry too many crossbow arrows. As long as they used up all the crossbow arrows in their hands, the enemy would have no choice but to be slaughtered by them.
At that time, they will be able to seize the terrifying weapons in their hands. When their Hegel department is equipped with such terrifying weapons, maybe...
Gebatu's mind instantly recalled the supreme majesty of the Great Khan sitting in the Great Khan's position in the Tatar Court some time ago and looking around at all the Tatar tribes' Khans.
Maybe I can sit in that position!
There was endless greed in Gebatu's eyes, and he looked at the southern military formation in front of him with salivation. His desire for that position instantly overcame his reason!
He must! Be sure to get this weapon!
Having made up his mind, Gebatu immediately said loudly:
“Hegel’s warriors need not panic!
Ben Khan already knew the weakness of the southern weapon.
They need to change their arrows. Although I don't know how their weapons can shoot so many arrows in a row, judging from the current situation, they also need to change their arrows, and the time is not short.
As long as we can withstand their wave of attacks and hold on until they run out of crossbow arrows, then we can rush into their crowd and kill them while they are changing their arrows!
Now, it is your time to show your bravery as the warriors of our Hegel tribe. You must charge forward fearlessly and overtake them! "
Gebatu's mobilization indeed inspired many people, but everyone is not stupid. From the current situation, the opponent does need to change their arrows, but they have to survive their first round of shooting. Who will be the first? It's a problem to support this first round. No one wants to be cannon fodder, right?
Seeing this situation, Gebatu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he signaled to one of the guards. The guard understood and immediately stepped forward to catch a cavalryman who had just secretly taken two steps back and cut off his head with a knife.
Holding the heads high in their hands, the guards shouted loudly: "Hegel's tribe only has warriors, not cowards! Cowards are not worthy of being Hegel's warriors, and there is no place for cowards to survive in Hegel's tribe!
Are you going to be a warrior now, or will you become Hegel's shame and become a coward? "
The personal guard's words have made the threat clear. If you attack you, you will be a warrior.
If you don't dare to rush, you are a coward, and cowards will be killed!
At this time, the Hegel cavalry had no room to retreat. Whether it was the Khan's order or the threat to their lives, they had to put everything aside to attack the first wave of the Nannan's terrifying weapons.
"Kill!"
"Kill all the Southerners!"
"Kill!"
More than 30,000 horsemen charged again, and the escort soldiers who were waiting quietly pulled the trigger again!
Whoosh!
Another 7,000 crossbows struck, clearing away the Hegel cavalry that had rushed a hundred steps away. At this moment, the guard's offensive ushered in a brief gap.
Many of the Hegel cavalry were immediately overjoyed and continued to charge forward with howls.
But what they didn't expect was that just when they thought that the opponent was going to reload their crossbows for a while, they saw that the three rows of escort soldiers who had emptied their arrow boxes retreated in an orderly manner, and the middle and third rows who were originally located behind At the same time, he stepped forward and took over the positions of the first three rows, assumed the same posture, and then fired seven thousand crossbow arrows again.
When the soldiers in the middle three rows fired their crossbows, the same scene appeared again. The original three rows at the back and now the third row in the middle took the place of the three rows in the front and emptied the crossbow boxes in their hands again.
Then the original three rows of soldiers had reloaded the magazine and pushed it up again, expressionlessly pulling the trigger again...
Whoosh!
The arrow rain never stopped from the beginning...
This hundred-step distance has truly become Shura Hell!
