Chapter 294: Pretending to be dead with an arrow to lure the enemy

With Baoerji's order, the sound of the bowstring of the compound bow was endless, accompanied by the cursing of various Xiongnu languages, and waves of black and oppressive arrow rain rose into the air and went straight to the military formation of the Beifu army.

Behind the crossbowmen of the more than 100 Beifu Army, before they rushed into the shield guards, they were shot by these bows and arrows, and the sound of "pounce" and "pounce" was endless.

A little soldier named Sanzhuzi, with an "ouch" sound, instinctively wanted to reach out and touch the arrow feathers behind him, but heard a voice on the ground: "What are you stunned, quickly fall down and pretend to be dead!" ”

Sanzhuzi suddenly realized, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, only to see his team Zheng Yu Qiujin, falling beside him, tilting his head to look at him: "How is it, is it hurt now?" ”

Sanzhuzi hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "No, I just feel that my back was hit by something, and it seems that I haven't even penetrated the first layer of armor." ”

Yu Qiujin smiled slightly, and took out a feather arrow, and the eyes of several soldiers who pretended to be dead on the ground immediately attracted it, only to see that this arrow was not made of iron, but polished from bone, which looked rough, and even fell off a small piece, and even the remaining half of the arrow on the wooden arrow shaft was also crumbling, as if it was about to fall off at any time.

Another soldier named Ge Erdan blinked his eyes and said strangely: "How can this arrow be made of bones, Team Yu, what's going on?" ”

Yu Qiujin smiled proudly: "I don't understand, Brother Jinu said, these Hun cavalry are slaves and servant tribes on the grassland, not overlord tribes, and the current king of Qin is afraid that these Huns will rebel, so the arrows given to them are all polished with bone, and they are not allowed to have pig iron to make iron arrowheads." Otherwise, these Huns might have rebelled against Qin first. ”

Sanzhuzi and the others suddenly realized: "So that's the case, it's just this bone arrow, how can it break through the armor and fight?" Isn't that a death story? ”

Yu Qiujin shook his head: "No, bones can also be sharpened, you look at this bone arrow, it is very hard, even our stainless steel armor, it is also shot through, the bow of the Huns is made of high-quality animal tendons, plus firing on a horse, the speed is very fast, even if the bone arrow, penetrate the leather armor, and shoot people at a distance of fifty steps, it is enough." ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qiujin touched the armor behind him, frowned, and had a small armor leaf in his hand that had already shot a hole, and said: "See, even if it is the stainless steel armor, it has also shot a hole for this arrow, if it weren't for the heavy armor we are all wearing heavy armor, I'm afraid that this time we will not pretend to be dead, but really die!" ”

Sanzhuzi sighed convincingly: "Thanks to these stainless steel armors that Brother Jinu made for us when he was in the blacksmith camp, otherwise I would really die today." ”

Yu Qiujin smiled "hehe": "I usually tell you how godly Brother Jinu is, but you don't believe it, but now you know." Not to mention anything else, it's today's battle, and I've seen that other people's soldiers are like gods. ”

Ge Erdan kept nodding and said, "Team Yu is right, we are really convinced today." However, how long do we have to pretend to be dead on the ground, if the Huns' war horses rush over, we don't want to trample to death! ”

Yu Qiujin spat angrily at Ge Erdan: "I'm sorry, don't you understand how to pretend to be dead with his grandmother's crow mouth?" We are now in this formation, and we are not stepping on the horses in the wasteland outside, what Brother Jinu said will not be wrong, let's pretend to be dead to lure the enemy now, the enemy army will not dare to rush over, and there is a long lance of the front team in front of it. ”

Sanzhuzi's eyes lit up: "Then, can we still get up and cut people?" Last time I only took one head, this time I shot the crossbow, I saw that I shot down two, but I was not allowed to go up and collect it. ”

Yu Qiujin shook his head: "That's it, Brother Jinu said, grabbing people's heads on the battlefield will mess up the formation, after this battle is over, the merits will be distributed according to each person's performance, the first level, don't be afraid of empty-handed!" ”

Everyone had a cloudy look on their faces, and laughed: "Team Yu, this is what you said, when we don't have a head, we will look for you!" ”

Yu Qiujin buried his head in the ground and said in a deep voice: "If you believe me, you will send Brother Slave, understand." All of them are lying on their stomachs honestly, and they have to pretend to be dead, otherwise, how can they let the thieves be fooled! ”

The Hun cavalry array, after firing two or three arrows, the cavalry of the first line pulled away to the left and right sides in unison, less than twenty steps away from the front of the Jin infantry phalanx, swept by two whip-like diagonal lines, under the cleaning of this round of arrow rain, before the opposite garrison, it seemed that the corpses of forty or fifty crossbowmen had fallen, all of them were hit by arrows on their backs, and after moving on the ground a few times, they could no longer stand up, and the remaining crossbowmen looked lost their souls behind the shields of those shield holders. fled to the garrison, and on top of those shields, a dozen feather arrows were quickly inserted, shaking slightly.

Bao Erji was stationed less than a hundred and fifty paces in front of the Jin army's infantry formation, and about a hundred paces in front of him, three or four cavalry lines were advancing layer by layer like waves, and the cavalry archers in the front row, after quickly firing a few bows and arrows in their hands, pulled to both sides, and after making a circle, returned to the rear about two hundred paces, and then regrouped, and then continued forward.

The follow-up cavalry line continued to rush forward, from a distance of fifty to twenty steps, three to four arrows in a row, and then swept sideways across the Jin army's phalanx again, and when it went around, it opened the bow and arrows again from the side, and a burst of arrows shot into the forest-like spear array, and soon, even the long lance hands of the Jin army's vanguard team in front of them were already nailed with feather arrows, and from time to time some people would fall down from arrows, and soon they would drag their companions behind them into the formation, and then quickly someone would be on top.

A smile gradually appeared on Baoerji's face, and one of the lieutenants beside him said excitedly: "General, are we going to attack with all our strength and break through the enemy's phalanx at once?" ”

Bao Erji waved his hand: "No, don't worry now, after the enemy crossbowmen's wave of attacks repelled us, the archers have not dared to shoot with us, just take a beating and not fight back, it seems that they want to lure us to attack, hum, I don't know how Shao Bao died in front, as soon as they attack intensively, they will have flying lances, but our brothers are dead, just keep shooting, anyway, what we have is arrows!" ”

Suddenly, a red flag rose above the Beifu military marshal post opposite, and Bao Erji's face changed: "It's not good, the enemy army is going to change formation!" ”
