Chapter 396
Ashinamo's shouts among the shouts of the five thousand cavalry charging were no more than a drop of water falling into the vast ocean. ↙，.※.o◇
Although the Turks who have experienced many battles are already prepared for Long Wuwei to release arrows, they are also ready to dodge the arrows.
Hanging the body on the side of the horse's belly can avoid the danger of arrows. Almost everyone in the Turkic cavalry has this ability. This is also the invincible skill of the Turkic cavalry.
However, the Turkic cavalry never expected that the first wave of arrow rain would be so dense, covering the sky and the sun, as if dark clouds were pressing down. There were at least more than 10,000 arrows.
Just the first wave of probing charges covered the attack with ten thousand arrows. Are these southerners crazy? Or are the southerners already so rich that they ignore the consumption of arrows.
Although they were a little panicked, these Turks, who had experienced many battles, immediately hung sideways on the horses' bellies to avoid the rain of arrows.
We just hide and leave the rest to God.
But God's will obviously did not favor them. The greater danger than the rain of arrows that blocked the sky was the two-meter-long crossbow arrows hidden in the rain of arrows.
The sound of breaking through the air was shocking. Although the arrows seemed to be flying at an angle from below, the impact of the Eight Bull Crossbow was beyond recognition by the human eye.
"ah......"
"Xilulu..."
The wailing of the Turks was endless, accompanied by the whining and neighing of the war horses.
Ashinamo hung on the horse's belly and looked behind him. The scene behind him made his face split.
Many Turks were skewered into strings of sugar-coated haws by the arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbows, and then many Turks were knocked down and fell to the ground without losing their power.
The Turkic cavalry who was shot didn't even have any room to struggle, and they suddenly died on the spot.
The situation was good, but a whole body fell down. The unlucky Turk's crossbow arrow penetrated his neck directly, and his head flew up. ∝，.◆.o＋
The situation of the war horse was not much better. The thick and long arrow of the crossbow directly passed through the body of the war horse, and the war horse whined several times and fell to the ground.
The rapidly charging cavalry had no choice but to flip over when encountering obstacles. Many cavalry were thrown off their horses, and one can imagine their fate.
The flesh and blood were blurred and turned into meat paste.
Just four hundred crossbows caused a lot of losses to the five thousand Turkic cavalry. The rain of strong bows and arrows from the sky fell into the crowd of cavalry like the call of death.
Immediately there was endless wailing.
Without Ashinamo's orders, the Turks Ma Chang, who was good at riding and shooting, took down their long bows and started to fight back.
The Turks are well-known for their riding and shooting skills, and they still have the strength to fight back despite being covered in arrows.
The archers who were caught off guard on the city wall were shot through by the Turks' long arrows and died on the spot.
Hearing the wails of the soldiers around him, Zhong Qiang looked gloomy and waved his command flag again: "Fire the arrow."
The Eight Bull Crossbows combined with all kinds of arrows began to cover the second wave of arrow rain.
Then the second wave of arrow rain had little effect. The speed of the Turkic cavalry was absolutely unmatched, and they had already reached the 200-step distance of Yingzhou City in a short period of time.
The use of the Eight Oxen Crossbow has been greatly limited. Archers cannot be allowed to carry the Eight Oxen Crossbow and shoot at the Turks under the city wall.
Even though the effect of the arrow rain that covered the sky was not obvious, the Turkic people's riding skills were indeed far superior to the dragon people. They hung far away from the horse's belly. If they were not sharpshooters, they could only shoot arrows on the horses. .
However, the war horse, which was hurt by the arrow, charged even more vigorously.
"Covered with hand crossbows, covered with hand crossbows, support General Keyan at the bottom of the city."
In a few breaths, the Turks had already rushed to the city. Looking helplessly at the closed city gate, Ashinamo realized at this time that there was no support from the siege troops and only his own cavalry could do nothing even if they attacked the city.
For a moment, Ashinamo regretted that he shouldn't have been so radical. The most correct way was to support each other with the siege infantry.
However, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was no room for Ashinamo to regret it. The Turks could only look at the Mo Dao team who had set up their formation.
Facing the dense rain of arrows on the city wall, the Turks began to charge towards the Mo Dao team.
In their eyes, this Mo Dao team, which was not even equipped with shields, was like a piece of fat on their lips.
Even if someone was shot by an arrow from time to time and fell off his horse, the Turks would not hesitate to rush towards the Mo Dao team.
One is because they clearly understand the consequences of falling to the ground, and the other is that they want revenge and use the scimitars in their hands to kill these cunning southerners completely.
"The archers stop firing arrows and don't accidentally injure the Modao team."
The archers retracted their bows and arrows and drew out the sabers at their waists.
The six guards of Northern Xinjiang are fully equipped with armor, the cavalry must also be equipped with hand crossbows, and the archers must also be equipped with melee weapons, just like an iron-walled division that can fight in a hundred battles.
Zhong Qiang waved the command flag and said: "The sharpshooter came forward and shot the leader of the Turks to reduce the burden on General Keyan."
A group of archers dressed in different styles stepped forward one after another and began to bend their bows and set arrows. Every time an arrow was shot out of the Turks, there would be a scream among the Turks, and then they fell under the iron hooves.
"The eight-oxen crossbow archers are ready to shoot the Turks' siege infantry, and be sure not to let the Turks' siege ladders get closer."
The bow and arrow battalion once again shot out a rain of arrows that covered the sky. There was no way, Zhang Kuang spent a lot of money this time, and all the 500,000 arrows in his hand were released. Tens of thousands of arrows flew out of Yingzhou City at once.
"kill."
From a distance, Ke Yan saw the Turks putting away their bows and arrows and raising the flag: "The sword and shield soldiers retreated to cover, and the Modao team met the enemy."
The two soldiers met each other, and the Mo Dao team, which was nothing more than a piece of fat in the eyes of the Turks, showed combat power that made them frightened.
The Mo Dao team was divided into two echelons, and the long hilts of the swords were cut out uniformly before the Turkic cavalry approached. The Turks suddenly fell on their backs.
Kong Wu's powerful Mo Dao team actually cut off the neck of the war horse by the roots, leaving blood stains in the sky. The Turkic cavalry who was thrown into the air by the remaining force of the war horse was also chopped into two pieces by Mo Dao.
A cavalryman who rushed into the Modao team excitedly waved his scimitar in his hand. However, the scimitar only left a shallow mark on the plate armor and could not hurt the Modao team's body at all.
At the moment of hand-to-hand combat, about 500 Turkic cavalrymen died on the spot. It can be said to be a huge loss. In the past, the cavalry did not have such a tragic record against the halberdiers.
"Retreat, retreat." Ashinamo shouted in horror.
Ke Yan waved his command flag: "Change the formation, coordinate the left and right, defend in echelons, and cooperate with the gongnu camp to kill the Turkic siege infantry."
Ke Yan knew that the infantry chasing the cavalry was just a fantasy, so he directly turned his attention to the Turkic infantry who had no time to retreat.
The broken Mo Dao team penetrated deep into the crowd and it was clear what kind of bad news it was.
Ever since the Modao team rushed into the Turkic infantry, the screams had never stopped.
"Ke Yan, don't chase after the poor bandits, go back to the city to repair." An arrogant and majestic voice came from the city wall.
Ke Yan looked at the battlefield where blood was flowing everywhere and corpses were scattered all over the ground. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and said: "The front team will change to the back team and go back to the city to repair."
The north gate of Yingzhou City slowly opened, and a group of Modao team gunmen retreated into the city with steady steps.
Zhang Kuang looked at the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains outside the city with an unchanged expression: "The cavalry is attacking the city, arrogant and arrogant. Come and count the losses."
