"Shoot!"

"Shoot again!"

"Shoot!"

The monotonous password sounded to the ears of the Hun army, like a talisman from the underworld.

Since the great array of bows and crossbows was deployed, it has not stopped for a moment!

A continuous rain of arrows fell overhead, and in the middle of the flat valley, not even a single boulder could be used as cover!

The trenches were cleverly dug to hold back the enemy's siege without being so deep that they could be used for every step.

The servant army of foot soldiers has long since collapsed.

The continuous rain of arrows of the Han army caused them great casualties, and the infantry army of more than 5,000 people did not even have a thousand left!

In the era of cold weapons, except for the Han and Hungarian sides, no army could withstand such a large casualty rate.

Countless blonde and blue-eyed Western Regions foot soldiers rushed across the battlefield, rushing left and right, crying in despair.

They didn't have the courage to retreat to meet the cold arrows of the Hun Governor's warband, and they didn't dare to continue to move forward, so they could only scurry around in the middle of the battlefield.

"Let Jiju press everyone!" Zhao Ponu indifferently ordered, "Tell him that either he will break the Han army formation, or he will die on the battlefield, and his youngest son will inherit everything!" ”

As the battle progressed, no one dared to question Wanhu's decision.

The order was quickly conveyed to the ears of the Hen.

At this time, the cavalry of the vassal tribes, with thousands of Wuhuan warriors as the main force, was cruising on the edge of the battlefield on both sides, unable to approach due to the range of the Han people's bows and crossbows.

The eldest son of Jiju will be furious: "Wanhu is letting us go to death!" ”

"Not only us, but also the various tribes that came with him, want our more than 30,000 warriors who are not cavalry of the headquarters to be shot alive by the Han people's bows and crossbows!"

The young man is always irritable, and he is only in his early forties, and his eldest son Bili is only twenty-four or five, which is the age of young and vigorous and unscrupulous!

The Hun warriors who came to give the order smiled maliciously: "So, and the leader of the house wants to disobey the military orders of ten thousand households?" ”

"No, don't dare!" Jiju hurriedly pushed his eldest son away, and said with a smile, "The warrior misunderstood, Bili is young and ignorant, just a few complaints." ”

"Humph!" The Hun warriors said contemptuously, "I brought the military order, and how to choose depends on the leader and the leaders themselves." Don't forget, the second king is watching you! ”

After saying that, he walked away, as if he was coming for an outing.

The leaders of several vassal tribes looked at each other, and they all saw fear and unwillingness in each other's eyes.

But he didn't have the courage to disobey the orders of the Huns, so he had to shoot his eyes for help to Jiju.

"And the leader, you have a good relationship with Wanhu, on our behalf, ask Wanhu!"

"Yes, let us rush, isn't that using our children's lives to tear a gap in the elite of the headquarters?"

"There are so many strong crossbowmen, and those strange crossbows that don't even need to be wound, even if our 30,000 or so people fight it out, they may not be able to tear it apart!"

If there were no strange crossbows that could shoot continuously, there would be tens of thousands of horses on their side, and cavalry versus infantry, and the big guy's eyes would be closed and he would have gone out.

Who gave the Huns their lives, and rushing to the front to block the arrows is the most basic?

But this time it's different!

"Do you see the 5,000? There are 5,000 men, and more than 30% of them are wearing armor, but they haven't even stirred up a wave! ”

"And the flanks are well protected, so we don't have any gaps to find!"

The chiefs complained one after another.

In the final analysis, it is all about being the leader and going to negotiate conditions with Zhao Ponu!

Bili also said indignantly: "Wanhu is a Han man after all, maybe he has already made an agreement with the Han army to send us away, so as to weaken the power of the second king!" ”

"Smack!"

And Ju a horsewhip whipped on Bili's face, drawing out a deep blood mark.

Gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care what you think, if you still think about our women and children on the grassland, you have to learn to shut up!" ”

"Those Huns can joke about the identity of Wanhu, and Wanhu will not bother with them."

"But what about you and me! We are Wuhuan people! ”

"What they can say, is what you and I can say?!"

"But I'm not convinced!" Bili wiped his face, and the blood was all over his face, "It's not said that ten thousand households will fight, but why can Zhang Ji, that Han Nu, be happy in the middle account, but want us warriors on the grassland to die!" ”

"Zhang Ji is bringing the personal guards of Wanhu!"

"Then he's also a Hannu!"

"You!"

And Juju was so frightened that his face was red and purple, and in the end he could only take a deep breath and not look at the stalk on his neck.

"Chiefs, have you all figured it out?"

"As long as you think about it, I am willing to come out and ask Wanhu what they think, but the possible consequences also need to be borne by us!"

"Although I am a leader, I am only a slave of ten thousand households in the final analysis. Wan Hu may kill me, but he will not slaughter his private property. ”

"But you, I can't say for sure, think about the women and children in the rear, they are all within the range of the Huns' bows and arrows!"

……

"Brother Tang, what do you say those people are inking?" Huo Qubing calmed the restless horses, and pointed the horsewhip at the wandering Hun cavalry, "If you don't come to charge the battle, their foot soldiers will die!" ”

Chen You said with emotion: "I have been in the army for half my life, and it is the first time to fight this kind of battle, happy!" ”

In the past battles between the two armies, the strong crossbow of the Han Dynasty had the upper hand, which does not mean that it can be unilaterally slaughtered at a certain distance like shooting a target.

The Xiongnu's cavalry and archery skills were no joke, and their high mobility and accuracy could also cause a lot of casualties to the crossbowmen.

Unless the number of people occupies an absolute advantage, even if the Han army can win, it is impossible to really rely on strong bows and crossbows, and often it is necessary to cooperate with foot, horse, and chariot.

But this time!

It's really a one-sided massacre!

And it was a unilateral slaughter by crossbowmen without the assistance of cavalry and chariots!

More than 5,000 foot soldiers, as well as arrogant Hun cavalry archers, could not even get close to the very edge of their range!

Often as soon as you enter the range, you will be greeted by a crossbow with an effective killing distance several times that of a horse bow, and you will be shot into a hedgehog without a chance to turn back!

And the casualties on the part of the Han army.

Including non-combat attrition, the number of casualties is not even five hundred!

"With the artifact brought by this Great Agricultural Order, my Han will be invincible!"

"Okay, don't shoot my big brother Tang's ass, Brother Tang won't eat you!" Huo Quzhi rolled his eyes, and his hand holding the telescope suddenly trembled, "Eh, it's moving!" It's finally moving! ”

"Boom—"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of tens of thousands of horses' hooves stomping on the ground sounded, which was deafening.

The 30,000 vassal tribal cavalry, after all, still didn't have the courage to challenge the authority of the Huns, so they gritted their teeth and fought hard!
