Yuwen Meng waved the long sword in his hand and stood about 150 steps away from the car formation. Under the big flag with the word "Yuwen", he stroked his beard and said with a proud smile: "Warrior Come on guys, charge me. These Jin troops are as weak as cattle and sheep. They can't even draw their crossbows and can't shoot within thirty steps. Your women are stronger than them. Charge up, pull out the carts, and kill them. Cut off the cables, open the gap, and then ride into the formation, trample the enemy with your iron hooves. General Helan has an order, and those who rush into the enemy's formation will be heavily rewarded. The capture of this battle, whether it is Equipment and prisoners are all yours!"
The knights of the Yuwen Department let out bursts of cheers and rushed past Yuwen Meng. Many of them even surpassed the first batch of front cavalry who rushed in. On this front of more than five miles wide, they were like a stormy sea. Generally, go straight to the front of the right car formation composed of thousands of carts, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, seventy steps! They no longer even bothered to use bows and arrows to shoot and suppress, because these cavalrymen believed that there was no need to use shooting to suppress the arrows on the opposite side. They only needed to rush close to the enemy vehicle formation, climb on the vehicle, and cut off the vehicle. , pull the car, pull away from the car... There are ten thousand ways for them to open this damn car formation, just like pulling the cart of the high-car tribe on the grassland, and then rushing in to kill them.
Pu Guwu stood five miles away. On the other side of the front, his position was about three hundred steps away from the car formation. At a distance of more than 10 miles, in front of him, the cavalry of Pu Guwu also shouted and rushed towards Jin. In the army's vehicle formation, more than a thousand riders at the front were waving lassoes. As soon as they got within ten steps of the vehicle formation, they waved their ropes and lasso shields, and then pulled away the cart. As a famous high-carriage tribe on the grassland, the Pugu tribe , not only is he proficient in these car formations and marching defense methods, but he also knows how to break these car formations and knows where the gate of life is.
But Pu Guwu murmured: "Something's wrong, something seems wrong."
A young man in his early twenties with a pockmarked face, his son Pu Guman, smiled and said: "Ada, what's wrong with you? I'm afraid these Jin people are running away. They even forgot to shoot. There are What’s wrong?”
Pu Guwu gritted his teeth: "Idiot, if it was our own tribe and the enemy attacked forcefully like this, would you not shoot or fight back? Are there thousands of enemy troops who have all fled without a single shot?"
Pu Guman's expression changed: "Hey, it's true, but..."
Pu Guwu suddenly shouted: "Quick, give the order, the cavalry in the rear formation will stop immediately, shoot the enemy's vehicle formation from a distance of 60 steps, cover the lassoists in front, and don't get closer!"
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, he heard the sound of thousands of drums from the car formation on the opposite side. On the high platform three hundred steps behind the formation, a large red flag quickly rose like a raging fire. Now there is no wind and no movement, but a chilling air is blowing towards my face.
At this moment, most of the Yan Army cavalry rushed into a distance of about thirty steps from the chariot formation. At this distance, more than a hundred seemingly scattered arrows shot out every ten steps. It was stuck on the ground, and the tail of the arrow was painted red, which was completely different from the color of the tail feathers of other arrows. Pu Guwu finally discovered this and shouted: "No, this is their attack line!"
But it was too late. More than a thousand lasso cavalry had already crossed the line, and the following cavalry more than ten steps behind them did not even bother to draw their bows and fire arrows. Everyone threw their big bows at random. Put it on your back, or hang it on the weapon rack, draw your saber, or wave your spear, and just wait for the car formation in front to disperse, then rush in and kill.
The cavalry of the Yuwen Department on the other side have rushed directly into the line within thirty steps. Many of the riders at the front have even stood up, standing on the saddles, just waiting for the war horses to approach. The moment he saw the chariot, he jumped on the cart, climbed over the baffle, and was the first to rush into the enemy's formation and kill them. This trick was even more handy for the Yuwen tribe who had been attacking and plundering the Gaoche tribe on the grassland all year round. Thinking of this, At this point, many people even had a smile of victory on their faces.
However, the smiles of the Yuwen knights still stayed on their faces, but they suddenly found that the light in front of them dimmed instantly, and a large black object stood up from behind the shield of the cart. Thousands of Jin army crossbowmen came together. They all leaned out. Each of them held an infantry crossbow with a weight of more than four stones in their hands. The eyes looking at themselves were full of cold killing intent, just like the way a hunter looks at his prey. Facing the crazy impact of the cavalry within thirty steps, these crossbowmen remained calm and composed, and their hands did not even shake.
The drum beat happened to sound at this time, and tens of thousands of voices in the Jin army roared at the same time: "Wind!"
In an instant, two thousand crossbows were fired at the same time, and the sound of two thousand triggering the crossbows was so clear and crisp at the moment, and the crossbow bolts were shot out rapidly, and the shrill whistle as they tore the air could even be heard at this moment. After the sound of thousands of drums, from the perspective of the Yan Army knights, one can even clearly see the sharp triangular heads of these crossbow arrows, as well as the undercut behind the crossbow heads, and the huge size of these crossbow arrows. The initial speed pierced the sky, and little sparks were generated when it violently rubbed against the air. Then the first reaction in my mind appeared: "Oh my god, what a powerful crossbow!"
But before the thoughts in their heads could be turned into words, and they had just opened their mouths slightly, these powerful crossbows had already hit the bodies of the cavalry. A four-stone crossbow was enough to nail a nail at a distance of one hundred and twenty steps. The wooden target is enough to penetrate leather armor at a distance of a hundred steps, and it is enough to penetrate an enemy wearing mail armor at a distance of fifty steps, not to mention these cavalry who are charging at full speed and have no protection from the front. , their speed even provides a reverse bonus to the power of these crossbows.
The sound of the crossbow arrow penetrating the human body is just like the sound of a venom breaking out of a cow. The sound of "puff" and "puff" being penetrated through the body is accompanied by the blood flowing out like a fountain, causing The perspective effect of the bursts of blood mist, as well as the large number of casualties and bloodshed, filled the front line with the smell of blood. In this round of shooting alone, no less than 500 cavalrymen were beaten until they were thrown off their horses, or It was because the war horse was hit by an arrow and fell to death. He dived forward and knocked the knight off the horse. The effect of inertia made him jump forward more than ten steps, and many of them hit the wheels.
Yan Qi, who had not been shot, was still rushing forward crazily due to the effect of inertia. Many people had just realized that the enemy really had hard crossbows waiting for them. Some people were shouting while charging: "Come on, they have just fired, don't give them a chance to fire the second crossbow, come on!"
