"No easy launch without my order!"
Xu Huang gave a big drink. His eyes were fixed on the flying Wu Huan cavalry. His eyes estimated the distance between the two armies. His heart beat violently, as if he were beating a drum. His heart beat like a beating drum!
200, 150, 120!
"Shoot the arrow!"
After hearing the order, the archer did not hesitate to send the bow string in his hand and send the bow and arrow out.
Collapse!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of bowstring vibration and the sound of arrow breaking into the air, as if it were a symphony playing, aimed at the coming Wuhuan cavalry and fell.
This time, thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, and the dense arrows fell from the sky, as if endless raindrops had fallen down, covering all the Wuhuan iron horses in Wuyan.
"Ah
"Ah
The arrow came down from the sky with great kinetic energy. It passed through a curved track in the air and fell into the neck of a ferocious Wuhuan soldier. The sharp three edged arrow has excellent ability to break armour. It can easily pierce the withered skin of Wuhuan soldier, and it usually passes through from the other side without hindrance.
The Wu Huan soldier only had time to make a dull sound, and his whole body was carried by the strength of the arrow and penetrated the ground. Although the arrow ran through his neck, he was not dead for a while, struggling to hold the arrow and pull him out.
Before he could make a move, however, the sound of horse's hooves was heard behind him.
Click!
The galloping horse raised its huge hoof and fell heavily on his head, as simple as crushing a watermelon. He crushed his head and splashed red and white things everywhere.
Like him, thousands of Wuhuan cavalry were shot down by arrows from the sky, and then they were trampled from their bodies by their fellow soldiers without hesitation. All of a sudden, there were blood and corpses everywhere. Even if they were not dead, there would be no breath left.
There's no way. That's what the cavalry charge is like. Once they fall down, the possibility of survival is basically zero. Even if they don't die by the enemy's sword, they will die under the horse's feet of their colleagues.
Because of the dense charge formation, the archers of Liangzhou army hardly needed to aim. They aimed at the cavalry of Wuhuan, pulled their bows and fired. After a round of rain of arrows, they lost nearly a thousand riders. Wu Yan could not help but be surprised and angry.
"Hateful Han dog!" "Order the army to disperse the formation, quick."
The Wu Huan cavalry, who had learned the lesson, became obedient and scattered, like a ball of noodles pulled apart, and the formation became obviously sparse.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! At Xu Huang's command, another ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, but only 600 people were wounded this time. It is obvious that Wu Yan's strategy played a role.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The third round of the rain of arrows shot again, together with the first two rounds of arrows, a total of more than 2000 Wuhuan cavalry have been shot and wounded, the total number is close to one sixth of Wuyan's cavalry, and the Liangzhou army has not been injured. How can he not be heartbroken?
"Damn it, damn it!"
Wu Yan gritted his teeth with hatred, and said coldly: "there are only three rounds in front of us. As long as our great Wuhuan warriors rush into the enemy's array, it will be like a gale sweeping the grassland, and the enemy will be covered with dead bodies."
There were only three shots in front of the battle. By this time, the Wuhuan cavalry had already entered 50 steps. It could be said that they would arrive in a flash. At this time, it was too late for the archer to release his arrows again.
Wu Huan cavalry, who had suffered several rounds of arrow rain just now, finally recovered their morale. They frantically whipped their horses and wanted to rush into the Liangzhou army and display their prestige.
However...
Liu Ye raised the flag in his hand and dropped it heavily: "shoot forward!"
I saw the front row soldiers on both sides of the way, more than a thousand soldiers exposed, holding a wooden gun in their hands. With one foot in front and one foot in the back, they twist their waist slightly and throw their arms forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than a thousand long wooden guns fell from the sky, and the charging Wu Huan cavalry could not help but look stunned. What is this?
However, a small number of Wuhuan cavalry changed their faces. Isn't this the weapon of Youzhou army?
In this stupefied effort, more than a thousand spears had fallen from the sky and fell into the Wuhuan cavalry array.
The thick and long throwing spear carries heavy falling strength, which makes the Wuhuan cavalry run through. Because the Wuhuan cavalry rush into the array, even a wooden gun directly penetrates two Wuhuan soldiers or even three Wuhuan soldiers! Some wooden guns are worn by both men and horses, like large mutton kebabs, which nail people in place.
The pierced Wu Huan soldier clenched his teeth and held the wooden gun. The blood in the wound slowly dyed the wooden gun red. He tried to pull it out, but he could not use his strength.
"The second row comes forward!"
After throwing the wooden spears out, the first row of spearmen immediately dodged, while the rear row of spearmen quickly stepped forward, threw out their throwing guns, and then retreated again, while the third row of spearmen continued to move forward and throw out their spears.Whoosh! Whoosh! More than 3000 spears were thrown out, and countless Wuhuan cavalry were nailed to the ground. People and horses crowded together, and the sound of wailing was heard.
Just now, the three rounds of ten thousand arrows shot and killed more than 2000 Wuhuan soldiers, and the three rounds of spears actually killed nearly 4000 Wuhuan cavalry! Because the length of the spear is very long, most of them have a long gun penetrating two people, or even three people, and the lethality is very significant. For a while, the Wuhuan cavalry lost a lot. The 12000 strong Wuyan cavalry lost nearly half of them. Such a high casualty ratio made the Wuhuan cavalry almost collapse.
All around were Wu Huan cavalry, dead or wounded. Some of them were full of arrows, some were pierced by a throwing gun, and the ground was covered with blood. The sound of crying and wailing spread all over the fields.
But Liu Ye shook his head slightly, for no reason. During his observation just now, he found that only half of the wooden guns could be built to kill the enemy, and many of them lost their accuracy in mid air. Fortunately, the enemy troops were Wuhuan cavalry, with leather armour or even only linen clothes. If they were replaced by Han Dynasty cavalry with full armour, they would not be able to make great achievements.
"It's going to take an iron gun."
However, there are advantages and disadvantages in this way. Although the wood gun is not enough in killing power, it is better to make it conveniently and have sufficient raw materials. At this time, the land of China had not yet experienced extreme reclamation and destruction. Even in the north, it was full of lush trees and could be made on the spot at any time.
The iron gun, on the other hand, is just the opposite. It costs a lot of money, which is enough for Liu Ye to build a new armed force.
