Chapter 481: Hard Resistance

"Ah......h

"Whew......"

"Uh......"

In just a few breaths, the first wave of more than 100 Khitans who appeared in front of the Yulin Right Guard Formation were swept away under the sharp blow of the Divine Arm Bow.

"Ah...... "What's going on, the Khitans who followed closely behind the arrow were all frightened, and they reined in one after another, wanting to slow down the speed of the assault, and turned around and retreated.

However, stopping the war horses that have been galloping wildly is no better than emergency braking cars with ABS, and the huge inertia pushes the Khitan warriors to continue to rush forward, rush, rush.

Yang Lie, his eyes did not leave the monoculars, and coldly ordered: "Step forward in the fourth to sixth row, and hit in three stages." ”

Almost instantly, the formation of the right guard of Habayashi changed dramatically, and the first three rows of three consecutive rounds of fire were moved to the rear.

Pulling the bow to wind it requires a lot of physical strength, although the bow of the divine arm is wound with the feet, it also consumes a lot of physical strength for the soldiers in the front row.

The Divine Arm Bow is certainly powerful, but its shortcomings are also extremely distinct: if you fire the bow six times in a row, it will be difficult to continue, and you must take a break and take a breath halfway.

The small officers standing on the side of the queue, after receiving the order from the Chinese army, immediately waved their swords and pointed directly at the roaring Khitan cavalry, raised their voices, and shouted: "Release the arrows!" ”

The terrible roar of "whoosh...... swishing immediately pierced the sky, and the sharp blade, with the hideousness of death, viciously pierced into the horses of the Khitans.

For a while, blood splashed everywhere, the tragic sound was continuous, and when they met on a narrow road, who was more ruthless. Whoever is fiercer, who wins!

"Whoosh." Ferocious crossbow arrows. pierced through the soft abdomen of the jujube red horse, and it actually came out from the other side.

"Hiss......" The jujube red horse let out a miserable sorrowful cry. Falling forward heavily, the horse slid forward with great inertia.

The knight on horseback was caught off guard, and half of his body was pressed under the horse's belly, and he was dragged far along the grass.

By the time the robe on the side reacted, the knight was already a blur of flesh and blood, and half of his body was worn out!

Miserable, miserable, Khitan robes. They closed their unbearable eyes.

War is so cruel and ruthless, there is only room for the baptism of iron and blood here!

One moment, some people were still alive, and the next, these people had already received a summoning letter from the Grim Reaper.

After four rounds of volleys, the Khitans in front of Yulin's right guard were swept away.

The second wave of assault Khitan warriors were horrified to discover. In front of their horses, there were all the dead bodies of their compatriots, and the dead bodies of war horses were everywhere.

Soaked in bright red blood. The grass in early autumn actually threw away the wilting state that was about to wither and exude a different kind of dazzling brilliance!

This is war!

Wars between interracial races. It's especially bloody, and no one shows mercy. No one would give mercy to a foreign caster.

Success or defeat is as small as personal competition. This is true for the struggle for hegemony between countries.

Although they had found an obstacle in the way, the galloping cavalry could not stop quickly, even if they tightened the reins of their horses.

The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Right Guard have long been accustomed to the test of life and death, no matter what is blocking them in front, as long as the military order is handed down, they must mechanically create bloody killings for the world.

"The first three rows retreat, and the last three rows come forward." The military orders passed down by Yang Lie were quickly issued to the officers, and then the officers commanded their subordinates, smoothly from the front to the front, and from the back to the front.

After the start of the war, until now, the casualties of the entire Yulin right guard are only a few dozen.

After Yang Lie received the battle report, he thought about it carefully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile. No wonder the teacher always says: an inch is long and an inch is strong.

Although it is a prairie, it is very conducive to the assault of the cavalry, but it is a fresh move, and it is eaten all over the world.

The Yulin Right Guard, who has a divine arm bow in advance, and has exceptionally strict military discipline and a high-quality officer corps, is actually more suitable for fighting on the prairie.

The Khitans, born in the steppe and raised in the steppe, are a typical people on horseback.

God was fair, and gave the Khitans a valuable strategic resource, an endless number of war horses, but also gave the Khitans a fatal flaw: they could not farm, and they were not good at building cities.

As long as the Khitans can't replicate the Divine Arm Bow on a large scale, once Li Zhongyi becomes the master of the Great Zhou Empire, an elite warrior like Yulin Right Guard, he only needs to train 100,000, plus tens of thousands of cavalry from the Northwest Party, he will be sure to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

In the late Qing Dynasty, in the Battle of Balitai, the equipment of the Green Battalion soldiers, in addition to some swords, guns and bows and arrows, also half of them were bird guns and artillery, in fact, the equipment was not too bad.

However, in the face of the British army, which was highly disciplined and generally equipped with front-loading flintlock muskets, coupled with artillery attacks that could fire shotgun shells and flowering shells, the Qing army was really defeated!

Li Zhongyi has never been a weapon-only theorist, not to mention that during the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the overall strength of the Beiyang Naval Division was really no worse than that of the Japanese Navy, and even slightly stronger.

The defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division, Li Hongzhang's difference was only a firm will to war and the combat level of the fleet.

"Uh......" With the counterattack of the Khitans, the casualties in the army of Yulin's right guard gradually increased, and a warrior was shot in the abdomen and fell in pain in front of the battle.

The harsh training came in handy at this time, and without the officer's words, the wounded soldiers were carried to the rear of the battle for healing.

The Shan army is worthy of being the elite of the elite, and when the first wave of attacking cavalry groups was almost completely annihilated, their assault formation quickly spread out.

Bows and horses were indispensable friends of the Khitans, and the regular armies of the Khitans were also highly trained, and they all knew that the more they gathered in the face of dense bows and crossbow strikes, the greater the losses.

Yang Lie had long expected that the Khitans would form a formation, so he had naturally prepared for a long time.

Li Zhongyi has always instilled in his generals the principle of a bow and crossbow strike, in addition to long-range, it is density!

The higher the range and density of a crossbow shot, the more lethal it becomes, especially when attacking cavalry.

The cavalry attack was fast and powerful, but the target was much larger.

Even if the crossbow didn't shoot anyone, and only injured the horse, it was enough to kill the cavalry at high speed.

Therefore, when the second attack wave of the Khitans was in full swing, Yang Lie also followed the order to change the formation, "Diagonally, five stage strikes." ”

That's right, Yang Lie didn't talk nonsense, it was indeed the second wave of the offensive launched by attacking the Khitans with bows and crossbows diagonally.

Li Zhongyi once said that the strength of the bow and crossbow strike on the front is actually far less than the blow on the side.

During World War I, the German army's machine gun array used the principle of diagonal fire, resulting in a much wider strike surface, and slaughtered tens of thousands of British gentlemen.

Nowadays, compared with the British infantry with smaller targets, the Khitans on horses are many times more likely to become targets! (To be continued......)
