The screams of the Han soldiers from time to time were endless, but they could not shake Xu Huang's determination. He knew very well the significance of such an order, even if the soldiers who maintained the baggage cart line suffered heavy casualties, he would not blink an eye, as long as he could attract more Hu cavalry to the open space of the camp, and let more Hu cavalry enter this arranged trap, the sacrifice of these soldiers would be worth it.

Why did the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu have so hard every war?

There may be many reasons, but one of them is very important, the Xiongnu or the northern nomads have four legs, and they have more battlefield initiative congenitally, so Xu Huang, as the commander of the foot soldiers, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will give these wandering Hu cavalry a ruthless choice.

Otherwise, would he still let Hu Qi easily retreat and roam around, while he had to guard against an attack that might suddenly attack from somewhere?

Xu Huang is a native of Bingzhou.

Since the former Qin, Bingzhou has advocated martial arts, and it is also the birthplace of soldiers and legalists, not to mention that it has been harassed by the Hu people over the years, and Xu Huang is naturally very clear about the habits of the Hu people.

If you want to make the Hu people afraid, you must be more ruthless, more ferocious, less afraid of death, and more ruthless than the Hu people!

Since Fei Qian let himself deal with it with all his powers, then he has to let these Hu people have a long memory, let them remember the name of the Xu family, remember the fluttering tricolor flag of Fei Qian in the camp, remember the blood and courage and force shown by the Han people at this moment, and remember the kind of pain that will tear their hearts and lungs when they think about it!

Xu Huang shouted loudly: "Raise the crossbow flag!" Free rapid-fire! ”

The flying dog flag with red background and black stripes was held high, and rows of crossbowmen quickly ran out from behind the tents, some ran up the walls on both sides, and some stood on top of the grain bales that were originally stacked on the baggage carts, forming a certain height difference with the soldiers of the baggage cart line.

With the sound of the commands of the middle and low-level non-commissioned officers of the crossbowmen, one by one the crossbow arrows crossed the heads of the Han soldiers in the baggage cart formation and pounced on the Hu cavalry who were crowded together!

The crossbow bolt dragged a long afterimage in the air, and instantly passed through the red blood mist above the baggage cart array, and with an indomitable momentum, it smashed viciously on the head of the Hu man sitting on horseback, and his body was ......

Smash.

Yes.

It's like being hit with a hammer.

Crossbow bolts are shorter and heavier than arrows, but they have more kinetic energy, and the lethality of a crossbow bolt fired at such a close distance is even more astonishing.

The reason why crossbow arrows are more lethal than arrows is because crossbow arrows are more destructive to the human body than arrows, and they are more terrifying!

The moment the heavy crossbow arrow breaks through the skin, the crossbow is hindered by the bones that are thousands of times greater than the air resistance, the crossbow is not as long as the arrow, so the stability is poor, the resistance increases suddenly, the speed of the crossbow rotation decreases, and it begins to sway from side to side, which leads to the crossbow arrow for the human body The contact area is larger than the arrow, and the wound is more huge, not only through the wound, but also the tearing cavity effect, this injury, in ancient times without surgery, It's basically a hopeless fatal wound......

Even if the bolt does not hit the bone, does not destroy vital organs such as internal organs and brains, but only penetrates the muscles of the arm or other parts, it is easier for the bolt to penetrate the body than a long arrow, forming a hollow wound in the front and back, which cannot heal naturally in a short time, and will also cause a large amount of blood loss and death.

"Quick! Shoot! Concentrate your shots! ”

"The first column is down, the second column is forward, and the third column is wound!"

With the repeated roar of the non-commissioned officer and the buzzing of the crossbows, one by one, with the breath of death and the desire for flesh and blood, pounced on the high riders.

The Hu cavalry, who had been sitting triumphantly on horseback and condescendingly chopping the soldiers of the Han army, fell off their horses one after another as if they had been hit by an invisible iron plate in the air.

The horses didn't know what was going on, they neighed in panic and wanted to run, but they were surrounded by either Hu Rider who had found something wrong and started to run around, or the corpses of men and horses that had already died, and there was not much room for manoeuvre, and the disorderly running caused even more chaos......

From the wall, from the back of the baggage truck, there was almost a whole semi-arc crossbowmen, crazy and almost mechanical open strings, lined up, forward, fired, and then retreated and repeated this process, countless crossbow bolts pierced from the air like sudden hail!

Xu Yu leaned on the side of the heavy baggage cart and slashed one of the Hu riders off his horse, while the other Hu Qi rushed out of the diagonal stab and slashed down with a single sword.

Xu Yu was about to raise his knife to parry, but he set up an empty one.

A crossbow bolt flew from behind, directly piercing the shoulder blade of this Hu Qi, and continued to move forward with a huge blood flower, where can this Hu Qi continue to cut down, suddenly "Ah" A scream, he fell to one side, and in the next moment, he was stabbed in the waist and abdomen by the spearman on Xu Yu's side, and fell off the horse.

After the first burst of heavy fire, the crossbowmen began to move towards the front wall of the wall, and began to kill the remaining Hu cavalry in the camp.

In the dim sky, Hu Qi couldn't detect the small and high-speed crossbow arrows at all, and some were even shot by several crossbow arrows at the same time, and even people and horses were nailed to the ground!

"Kill—"

Xu Yu held his war knife high, roared in a hoarse voice, as if he wanted to return all the resentment he had suffered before at this moment, he took the lead in rushing out from the side of the baggage cart, and launched a counter-charge against the panicked Hu Qi!

"Kill—"

The rumbling war drums stirred up people's blood, and more Han troops rushed out, swords and spears rushed down to slash and slash the Hu cavalry, who had been completely out of array.

Under the sudden attack of a wave of crossbow arrows, Hu Cai, who was lucky enough not to die, had to guard against the swords, spears and spears that stabbed from the front, and on the other hand, he was called by the crossbow arrows flying from above, and there was no way to resist at all, and the killed ones were defeated and retreated......

Success is just a stone's throw away, but it seems like the end of the world, what a desperate thing.

Zhatiansheng saw a large number of Hu cavalry flocked into the camp, originally thought that the Han army's camp would be broken in the next moment, and he could taste the fruits of victory, but he didn't expect that almost in the blink of an eye, the battle situation was one-sided, and about 1,000 Hu cavalry who rushed in were slaughtered in the blink of an eye, and the Han army camp was not only not defeated, but on the contrary, it also charged out......

After slaughtering the intercepted Hu cavalry, the crossbowmen stood on the wall of the front camp one after another, and once again dealt a covering blow to the Hu cavalry who were crowded together outside the camp.

Hu Qi, who lost his speed, didn't even have room to hide, even if he tried to hide behind the horse's belly and neck, he couldn't escape the care of the crossbow arrows, just like dumplings, and fell off the horse's back......
