As the archers cheered, hundreds of bowstrings rang, and the sound of long arrows breaking through the air sounded almost simultaneously. It was different from the sound of ordinary long spike arrows breaking through the air. These giant arrows, which were nearly doubled in length, Its shrill and strange whistling sound can almost be compared with that of the eight-stone running bull crossbow. Hundreds of giant arrows are fired at the same time. The sound is like a huge wave that surges into the sky, making those who hear it feel heartbroken and breathless. !
Many of the Yan army's armored cavalry unconsciously covered their ears. Several cavalry captains in front shouted: "The enemy's arrows are attacking, quickly raise your shield to defend!"
Without the need to be reminded by these captains, the knights in the front rows almost instinctively raised their shields and waved them in front of themselves. These experienced cavalrymen believed that as long as they protected their heads, they would be able to protect their heads. Vital parts such as the chest will not be directly shot. If you survive this wave of arrow attacks, you can enter the state of assaulting the enemy cavalry. At that time, the armored cavalry linked by iron chains will crush the enemies in this camp. Every enemy!
"Puff" and "bang", the arrows hit the body, the sound of armor breaking into the flesh was heard endlessly, and occasionally the sound of bones breaking was heard. The Yan Army armored cavalry who were originally sitting on their horses did not wait until the shields and armors were hit unexpectedly. Many people put down their shields in surprise and looked forward, only to see a few to dozens of feathered arrows stuck on the head of their mounts. No, instead of It's better to say it's an arrow branch, like a short spear, broken off!
These two-foot-long giant arrows penetrated the face armor of these war horses. What's more, they penetrated directly through the eyes. Although the war horses on the armored cavalry were also armored, their protective power and thickness were far inferior to those of these. Compared with the armor worn by the knights, because they had just lassoed and were still in the state of walking, the huge war horses became the best targets for the archers within 200 steps. Almost every group of arrows The shots from his hands made the target's horse's head look like a hedgehog. These poor horses didn't even have time to neigh and died. Their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground helplessly, dying!
One horse fell, two horses fell, and then, a whole row of more than fifty war horses fell to the ground. Some of the horses that were not shot to death were killed because the horses adjacent to the left and right fell. The iron ropes they were tied with also fell to the ground. Most of the cavalrymen who were sitting upright were directly pressed under the horses by the horses that suddenly fell, unable to move at all. They seemed indestructible just now. Several rows of armored cavalrymen who were moving the city wall were almost turned upside down and rolled to the ground under a hail of arrows. The scene became extremely chaotic.
Xu Chite laughed loudly, pointed at the scene in front, and said loudly to the archers who were still shooting on the left and right: "Brothers, have you seen that as long as the thieves shoot the horses first, then all the armored cavalry will be useless?" They are worthless, no matter how strong the cavalry is, they cannot fight without horses. Quick, take advantage of the fact that they are unable to turn around and can't rush in. Take aim and shoot for me, don't miss even a single horse!"
On another arrow tower, Mao Dezu's bow and arrow turned to the other side. It was the cavalry of the two armies who were fighting against each other and were still in the melee. His arrow slowly pointed to the center of the battlefield. Tan Shao and Ke Zuche'er The fight has gone from the front to the back of the formation, and they are still refusing to give in. Both sides have their eyes wide open and the tigers roar again and again, just to kill the opponent in the next attack!
But Zu Che'er gritted his teeth and said: "Jin thief, your death has come. When the cavalry from the rear of our army rushes over, I will discipline you all to die without burial. If you are wise, hurry up and get out. Maybe you can still keep a small bond." Life!"
While he was talking, the big ax in his hand did not stop at all. He moved left and right, making a strong move, and his moves could not leave Tan Shao's vital points.
Tan Shao waved his halberd to resist the faster ax blow, and said with a smile: "Suo Lu, I'm afraid you can't see the situation clearly. Where are your rear cavalry now?"
As he spoke, the halberd turned from its thrust into a horizontal strike. He swung it and hit the big ax directly. The Xuanhua ax was blown away, and the Kezu chariot and the man and the horse jumped out. After three steps, he barely stood still.
But Zuche'er instinctively wanted to scold the enemy in front of him, but he couldn't help but look back. It didn't matter. When he saw the fallen cavalry and horses lying on the ground, his mouth opened wide. Big, I can't believe my eyes.
Ke Zuche'er murmured: "No, this is impossible, how could it be like this? It must be an illusion!"
Suddenly, Ke Zuche'er felt like his eyes were dazzled. An arrow shot through the air and penetrated directly between his eyes. At this moment, Ke Zuche'er could even see his own brain. He was ejaculated, and before he had time to think about it, his eyes went dark, and then his body began to fall into the bottomless abyss.
Tan Shao watched helplessly as Ke Zuche'er, who was a few steps away, was killed by an arrow. He turned over and fell off his horse. He frowned, turned to look at Liu Zhong behind him, and said loudly: "Zhong, didn't you follow me earlier?" Did you say I don’t want you to help me with an arrow? I finally found someone who could hit him, but you killed him with one arrow!"
While Liu Zhong was waving his spear to block the enemy's weapons, he would thrust or click from time to time to knock the opponent off his horse. Any enemy rider who fell off his horse would often have no time to struggle to get up and would be killed by several of the enemies who were flying up. Wu's lightly armed soldiers stabbed and struck with swords and hammers, and their lives were lost on the ground.
At this moment, Liu Zhong happened to stab an enemy rider off his horse. He wiped the sweat from his face and said in a deep voice to Tan Shao: "Shao, I didn't shoot it. How can I have two more hands to shoot arrows now?"
Tan Shao understood it all at once and turned to look at the archery tower in the distance. He saw arrows being shot down non-stop. They were calling the names of the Yan Army cavalry one by one at a distance of about a hundred paces. On the top, it is much easier to hit the vital points on the faces of these Yan army cavalry who are almost standing still fighting than to hit a red heart the size of a copper coin when training a hundred steps away. With the help of these archers, almost In four or five minutes, more than 200 Yan Army cavalry were shot to death. The Jin Army cavalry who lost their current opponents quickly turned to besiege the closest enemy cavalry. They were evenly matched. The battle situation became one-sided due to this series of accidents.
Tan Shao laughed loudly: "Azhong, these Yan troops are no longer a problem, and the enemy's armored cavalry charge behind them has also been dealt with by Da Shitou and the others. Now, we continue to act as planned, charge directly at the enemy general's flag, and finish this attack After the formation, go outside and kill the enemy general, follow me!"
