Chapter 164

Looking at the Qiang people's ironriding galloping like a flood, the archers among the government and army were already ready to set up their bows and arrows. One by one, the sharp arrows were put on the tight bowstring. As the archer's powerful arm pulled backward, it made a slight trembling sound.

"Ready!"

At the end of the battle, more than a thousand Han soldiers stepped on the huge bow and crossbow with their feet, put a huge arrow with the thickness of two fingers on the bow string, pulled the bow string with two arms, and fell back, squatting on the ground.

This huge bow and crossbow is called Puzhang crossbow. Ordinary people can't pull it off at all. They have to press with their feet and use both arms to pull the bowstring. The most common bow and crossbow can shoot 300 steps at most, and the maximum range of the Pui crossbow can reach 500 or even 600 steps, which can be called a big killing weapon, second only to the bed crossbow used for attacking the city.

The commander waved his arms without hesitation as he watched the 15000 Qiang people's iron horse rush into the range.

Let go!

Collapse!

Countless bowstring sounds instantly, and a thousand pouting crossbows release a thousand two finger arrows. The arrows carry huge kinetic energy and fall down, just like a thousand throwing guns suddenly falling.

The fast-moving Qiang people's iron horse looked up in surprise, and saw that all of a sudden, black shadows fell down on Hu Qi's body. The thick arrow easily penetrated the body of Hu Qi. One arrow penetrated directly from the front chest of Hu Qi. The strength of the arrow directly penetrated through his chest and abdomen. It came out from the back. The huge wound was bleeding continuously. The body of Hu Qi was shaking and fell off the horse.

Some horses were hit by thick arrows on the spot. Sharp arrows were inserted into the horse's head like a long sword. The aching horse raised its head and hissed wildly. The owner of the horse was lifted off and went bankrupt on the spot.

More than 1000 arrows killed more than 400 horsemen on the spot, but the arrows with two fingers thick and thin were not fired again. As the saying goes, when facing a high-speed cavalry, it takes only one chance to send out a crossbow.

In fact, Li Wenhou was also covered by the range of his pouting crossbow. However, loyal soldiers around him raised their shields to prevent him from being robbed.

"Don't be afraid! The Han Army's pouting crossbow can't be served. Give it to me. "

Li Wenhou glared at the dense army in front of him. As long as the Qiang people's iron cavalry could be killed in the army, the flesh and blood of the Han army could not resist the horses' hooves and swords.

Chong, kill in and destroy these vulnerable soldiers. Yongliang Prefecture is our Qiang people's world from today. Han people should get out of Sanfu and Tongguan!

Although they suffered a round of shooting with pouting crossbows, a large number of Qiang people's irons did not stop charging. Instead, they accelerated their horses in their crotch, trying to avoid the range of the Han army. They slashed their swords and horses into the Han Army's array, which was like destroying a group of broken sacks.

"The enemy has reached 200 paces!"

"The enemy has reached 150 paces!"

The officers at the front line kept on conveying the distance of Hu Qi, until Hu Qi rushed into the effective range, and the tight bowstring of Han Army's bow and crossbow was finally relaxed.

"Shoot!"

Whoosh!

The tight bowstring suddenly relaxed, thousands of archers who had been ready for a long time released their arms, and thousands of arrows shot out suddenly, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and falling heavily.

One after another, the arrows fell on the Hu riding in the galloping, and the blood holes were drilled on the skin and flesh of the horse, and the blood flowers burst out. Some of them were unlucky enough to be shot with more than ten or even dozens of arrows all over the body. They became a hedgehog.

After a round of shooting, the archer, regardless of the aching arm muscles, immediately pulls out the arrow from the arrow bag behind and puts it on the bow string to prepare for a second shot.

"Let go

Another round of arrow rain radiated out, and suddenly some people fell down in the rush group of Hu Qi, but the distance of Hu Qi was already within 100 steps.

Without Li Wenhou's order, these Hu people, who had been in Northwest China for a long time and grew on horseback, skillfully took out their riding bows which were smaller than their step bows. They opened their bows and arrows and aimed at the officers and soldiers opposite them.

Although there was no stirrup at this time, there was a prototype of stirrup. Moreover, the Hu people were born to ride horses and graze, just as Han people were born to help with land farming, riding and shooting was a compulsory course for them.

The small bow makes the sound of death, and thousands of arrows are sent out in the wind. The Han Army had already listed the shield walls, and the pawn in the middle grabbed the round leather shield and raised it to block his head and face. However, there were still a lot of feather arrows penetrating through the cracks and rushing into the Han Army array, and there was a murmur.

Before the charge, Hu Qi gave the Han army the first round of counterattack with their bows and crossbows. Within the last 100 steps, the Bowman and Hu Qi of the Han army sent out the last round of shooting each other again. After causing slight injury to each other, they folded up their bows and arrows, took out their sabres and spears in tacit agreement, and were ready for short-term combat.

Fifty steps!

Thirty steps!

The two armies have been able to clearly see the facial features of the opposite enemy. Everyone's face is tense. The facial muscles are like a lump of iron. The upper and lower rows of teeth are tightly clenched.Kill!

After several rounds of volley of the Han Army, there were still more than 13000 cavalry left, and the remaining group finally got into the Han Army array.

The first row of the Hu cavalry without hesitation waved the saber in his hand and collided with the shield wall of the Han army. The soldiers of the Han Army nestled close to each other, and the collective strength gathered together. Many of the hooligans bumped into the shield wall and flew directly from the horse's back.

However, it doesn't matter. After the first row of Hu Qi broke up, the second row of cavalry immediately rushed up. Before the officers and soldiers had responded, the cavalry in the commanding position inserted the saber down into the Han Army's shoulder, head and chest.

Although the Han army was in a dense formation, the soldiers of the prefectures were not the elite of the northern army, but the soldiers of the prefectures. They were far inferior to the northern army in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness. They had nothing to do with a bow and crossbow to deal with Hu Qi from a long distance. They felt the pressure of fighting Hu Qi at close range.

Finally, rows of hooligans rushed up, and the huge body of the horses hit the shield hard. Finally, the county soldiers could not resist, and the defense line of the first row was violently torn open by the hurtles. Hu Qi, who got his wish, rushed into the Han Army's array, brandishing his saber wantonly and slaughtering the Han Army whose defense line was broken.

Huang Fu Song looked at it, but said nothing.
