"Go ahead"
"Kill"
"For Tuyuhun"
"For the xx tribe~!"
The infantry on Tuyuhun's side launched the first attack under the command of Murong Xiaoyan. The distance between the two sides was less than a thousand meters. The charging men on Tuyuhun's side had a leather shield and a small amount of armor, and they lacked swords.
To a discerning eye, they are nothing more than cannon fodder. These are slave soldiers of nomadic tribes or those who have been squeezed out.
Just cannon fodder among cannon fodder.
Tuyuhun attacked, and Li Cao, who was on the watchtower, came to sit on the saddle and wait for the wheel."
The messenger bowed his head and quickly came to the flag bearer, who waved the flag representing the Eight Ox Crossbow.
The messengers of the Eight Ox Crossbow who were waiting for orders in the military formation saw the flag coming from the observation deck and shouted quickly: "Eight Ox Crossbow, fire 3 rounds~!"
"Eight Oxen Crossbow, fire 3 rounds~!"
bang bang bang bang
As the bow string struck the arrows of the Eight Bull Crossbow, I could only hear
Swish swish swish
The Eight-Niu Crossbow jumped over the heads of the infantry formation with a sound of breaking through the air. The arrows of the Eight-Niu Crossbow flew in the sky and fell into the group of charging soldiers of Tuyuhun.
"Watch out for Tang Dynasty's arrows~!"
Da da da
Ding ding
The arrow penetrated the armor of the Tuyuhun soldiers
Ahhhhh
Recalling the screams, the eight-niu crossbow's goose-egg-thick arrow shaft and fist-sized arrow tip easily penetrated their bodies, nailing both men and shields directly to the ground like mice.
Their internal organs spurted out from their bodies, and blood flowed all over the floor. If they were lucky enough, their arms and legs would be cut off.
They were lucky and did not die directly. At the same time, they were unlucky. During the charge of the soldiers behind them, the remaining soldiers lying on the ground would be trampled into pulp and die, and the end would be even worse.
The Tuyuhun soldiers who survived by chance gritted their teeth and took a deep breath and continued to charge forward. They had no way out. They could not rush into the Tang Dynasty's military formation and the supervising team would not let them survive. They died among the Tang Dynasty's arrows and blades. At least he can be considered a warrior, and after death he may return to their immortal world.
The crossbows of the Tang Dynasty include arm-shaped crossbows, horn-bowed crossbows, fuyuan crossbows, and more than ten types, covering short and long ranges of almost a kilometer.
Don't think that they will survive after escaping the eight-niu crossbow fire. You must know that according to the "Taibai Yin Jing", the Tang army had 12,000 men, equipped with 12,000 bows and 2,500 crossbows.
Li Jing's Mirror of the Sixth Army also said that the proportion of crossbowmen in the army was about 10%, and Archer Deacon Ahei was about the same. The Tang army of 70,000 people had about 7,000 crossbowmen and about 8,000 archers, plus the Tang Dynasty's Soldier equipment is a little different from others.
Except for the Mo Daoshou, the rest of the infantry units are equipped with bows and crossbows.
In other words, the Tuyuhun soldiers were not just faced with a few eight-niu crossbows.
Immediately after the first round of eight-niu crossbow shooting, there was the second round, and thick arrows flew into the sky again amidst the orderly orders of the messengers.
They crossed the Tang Dynasty's military formation for the second time and pinned the Tuyuhun soldiers to this land again.
There were more casualties in the second round than in the first round. This was because those who started charging could still see the situation of the Tang army in front or dodge slightly, while those behind were completely squeezed into the crowd.
The arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow even directly penetrated three people, stringing them together like sugar-coated haws on a stick. A large amount of blood continued to gush out with the sound of wailing. The surrounding Tuyuhun soldiers continued to move forward while praying to God for blessings. gush.
On the way to the charge, there were not only the Ba Niu Crossbow, but also the Fuyuan Crossbow with a range of 450 meters waiting for them.
"Fuyuan Crossbow, shoot"
Miso miso miso
swish swish
The sky full of crossbow arrows flew into the sky again and announced their presence to the phalanx of Tuyuhun soldiers.
Ah ah ah ah ah
The screams of injuries were heard one after another, and some people died on the spot when the arrows of the crossbow penetrated their heads and hearts before they even had time to make a sound.
A large area was instantly vacated among the charging soldiers of Tuyuhun. It was visually estimated that at least 1,000 people fell in the rain of thousands of arrows.
The blessing of Changshengtian is still not as effective as the Eight Ox Crossbow in the world of some unlucky people, and the third round of arrows finds them again.
This time, they were greeted by several types of arrows, such as arm-shaped crossbows and horn-shaped crossbows.
Ah ah ah ah ah
The screams rang out again, covering up the shouts of the charge, and another string of Tuyuhun soldiers were nailed to the land where they had lived for decades.
Some people were shot like hedgehogs by arrows, wailing and crawling before death, hoping that someone could save them.
However, there was no longer any Tuyuhun soldier standing around them, and the air in the whole world seemed to be solidified by an inexplicable force for a short time.
Murong Xiaoyan, the war commander on Tuyuhun's side, did not pay attention to the number of infantry deaths. Tuyuhun and the Turks were mainly cavalry. As a young and promising man, he thought that Tuyuhun's cavalry was unparalleled in bravery. The Tang Dynasty was simply different from those miscellaneous tribes. Unable to withstand the blade of Tuyuhun's cavalry.
Just infantry cannon fodder
Murong Yan always thought like this, just die.
Completely disregarding the life and death of the infantry, he dispatched a team of supervisors to continue charging the infantry into the Tang Dynasty's military formation. They did not seek to advance but only wanted to disrupt the Tang Dynasty's military formation.
The Supervisory Team is a soldier supervision unit that supervises soldiers on the battlefield to prevent them from escaping. If deserters occur, they have the right to deal with deserted soldiers.
Their well-equipped troops are generally the confidants of the general in the army. If they are nomadic, most of them are soldiers of the tribe directly under their khan. As cronies, they are trustworthy. As the best-equipped troops, they are the elite of the entire military structure. Wherever the cannon fodder died, almost ordinary soldiers were outnumbered, so it was their turn. ,
It was completely futile to attack the Tang Dynasty's military formation without any structure. Although it was feasible to close the distance with the Tang Dynasty through death, the cost was huge. The 50,000 infantrymen threw away the 10,000 reserve troops and all rushed forward, resulting in 2 casualties and 2 casualties. Wan Duocaikan entered into close combat with Datang's military formation.
However, the archers of the Tang Dynasty had already retreated into the protective circle of the spear, sword and shield soldiers and continued to draw their bows and shoot at the heads of the reaper Tuyuhun infantry.
On the command platform of Tuyuhun's military formation, Murong Yanren and some tribal leaders almost stared at the thousands of charging cannon fodder who fell in the distance.
"This, this, this is impossible, this is not true."
If Murong Xue were here, she would definitely say: Stupid humans, do you know the power of the Tang Dynasty's crossbows? Didn’t those mutilated Turkic tribes tell you about the military might of the Tang Dynasty?
"This patriarch"
Murong Yanren's hands shook and he sighed helplessly: "You didn't believe me when I objected, but now that the charge has begun, what do you think you can do?"
The person who was criticized by Murong Yan was his stupid brother Murong Yanyi, the main militant in the Murong family.
Murong Yanyi lowered his head and said silently: "Brother, I know, those damn Turks deceived us, I will ask our cavalry to withdraw now."
While he was talking, shouts of killing came from Tuyuhun's cavalry phalanx, and the cavalry on both wings rushed towards Datang's military formation.
Murong Yanren and Murong Yanyi opened their mouths and spit out two words for a long time: "Fuck"
