The enemy army was not too close to them, about five miles away, after all, they had just entered the field of vision. At the moment, they are not divided...... Unless there are other than them, there are also subordinates who they don't know, Liu Tao said secretly.

"The enemy army is less than five miles away from us!" Liu Tao shouted, in fact, at this point, there is no need to call it anything, there is already flying dust on the horizon.

Soldiers who have been on the border for a long time can recognize that it is the dust kicked up by the cavalry as it gallops. That is, in winter, the weather has started to dry recently, otherwise there is no such effect.

"Run!" When Xianbei's cavalry appeared on the horizon, Lu Bu immediately ordered. It was said to be a little early, but considering the timing of the herald's order, it was just right.

When the flag is raised, the flag language of the leader is more effective than shouting. It is also said that the marching band can also be used, but the propagation of sound is far less rapid than the propagation of light, so the effect of the flag will be better.

It is only necessary to divide the army into different flags, and the different flags represent each unit. Officers of each department can determine the military order of their own unit by looking at the flag. Liu Tao was even thinking, could it be that the Eight Banners were actually established based on this principle?

The two cavalry began to cruise, they were mainly escorts, and they were also waiting for the next fighter.

At this moment, Xianbei's side also noticed the battle formation on Liu Tao's side, and while being surprised, he did not stop, but instead accelerated his speed and began to charge towards this side.

They saw the cavalry, but it didn't matter, the Han people's horsemanship couldn't catch up with them at all! The key is the foot pawn on the ground, which can be gnawed down first. They didn't gather together, but planned to disperse quickly, after all, they saw those bows and crossbows.

The long-term battle with the Han people made it clear to them that the Han people's riding skills were not very good, and their archery skills were not satisfactory, but this crossbow was really disgusting. You can shoot from a long distance, and the penetration is still very strong, and many times you suffer from this.

But it's one thing to know, this group of Xianbei cavalry is obviously not very familiar with the shooting distance of the big yellow crossbow, but maybe from other tribes, they probably know that kind of thing.

Before they dispersed, in fact, they had already entered the shooting range of the big yellow crossbow, after all, the advance had to be calculated. If it weren't for maximizing their power, they could shoot even earlier, after all, with the blessing of Storm Arrows, their range would also be increased.

First the rhubarb crossbow shot, then the normal crossbow shot, and finally the bow shot. According to the range, in fact, everyone can shoot at this distance, and the rest is nothing more than a matter of power.

As far as the results are concerned, Cao Xing, who commands this force, obviously still underestimates the power of the long-range weapons with the blessing of the Storm Arrow.

The crossbow arrow of the big yellow crossbow shoots out, if it hits the horse, the throat will naturally penetrate the past, shoot the Xianbei cavalry behind, and actually go backwards, deeply into the throat of the horse behind, or the body of the Xianbei cavalry will stop.

If it is shot in the chest of a horse, then it will naturally come out of the body, and then shoot another horse before stopping; If it hits someone directly, then it will naturally come out of the body, and finally shoot the cavalry behind before stopping.

Conservatively calculated, a hundred large yellow crossbows, a round of fire is likely to cause more than 200 casualties, this is the most ideal form, in fact, only about 100 Xianbei cavalry fell off their horses.

Rao is like this, these more than 100 fallen war horses still made the cavalry behind have to slow down. They can choose to jump over, and they have the riding skills to do that.

The problem is that the crossbows and arrows in the back also flew over one after another! There is no increase in power in terms of range, but it has additional damage itself, so the greatest possibility is to cause some casualties to the Xianbei cavalry in front.

On this basis, there is a precedence. The first is the crossbow bolt of the big yellow crossbow, which made the more than 100 Xianbei cavalry in front fall to the ground, and when the follow-up cavalry came up, the ordinary crossbow arrows arrived one after another, causing secondary casualties; Finally, there are arrows, which are more appropriate to harass than to kill, and it is really impossible to hope for much lethality.

Even so, it also frightened the Xianbei cavalry phalanx, they have not been able to effectively disperse, and more defensive measures have not been able to be used, why so many clansmen have been killed so quickly?

They couldn't figure it out, but the leader of it already roughly understood that this was the power of the rhubarb crossbow! No wonder the old people in the clan keep touting this thing, the power is indeed very great, and the shortcomings of the problem are also obvious!

After shooting the rhubarb crossbow once, it is not easy to wind it, because it cannot be wound with both hands, it needs to be stepped on with both feet to wind, and it takes some effort, and the crossbowman can't do it without some strength.

This is an opportunity, after all, they have already taken down the bow in their backs, they just need to divide their troops, and then slow down the speed and they can shoot!

"This is something that the Han people can't do!" The leader muttered in a low voice, "The Han people can't shoot their bows on horseback, unless they plan to be thrown to death, let alone shoot while the horse is moving!" ”

This is their advantage, or the advantage of most of the grassland peoples, even if the ancestors of Xianbei actually lived in the mountains, not pure nomads!

The speed began to slow down, and they began to bend their bows and arrows, and at a constant speed, they could shoot quickly, and this time was about one to three seconds. During this period, the horses will slow down at their pace, guaranteeing that they will not be left behind.

This is the advantage of horseback riding people, they have grown up with horses since childhood, horses are part of their body, and horses can cooperate with them when necessary.

"Han people, can you do it?" The Xianbei leader, who was about to shoot, was still a little proud at the moment. He had already foreseen the ridiculous appearance of the Han people either suffering casualties or fleeing in a hurry under their arrows.

What is cavalry for? As long as you are not allowed to come closer, as long as you keep shooting you with arrows...... Huh? Arrow......

Within the line of sight, a lot of arrows suddenly appeared, not only many, but also the power seemed to be very great. These arrows fell into their formation, and many Xianbei cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.

Hundreds of people died as a result, and the casualties were not very many, at least not physically, more mentally!

What do they see? The leader was just clinging to the horse, which was so amazing that he didn't have time to shoot at all, and if he didn't hold it up as soon as possible, he might still be thrown out.

At this moment, he was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, and glanced at a cavalry in the distance, his eyes were in disbelief.

What did he see? This cavalry, in a state of fast running, actually shot? And not just one or two people, thousands of people launched a shot!

Han people actually know how to ride and shoot? Myself...... Isn't it a dream?!
