Chapter 396: Heavy Damage to the Pseudo-Qi Cavalry
"Don't stop the ballista! Second, three rows of ballistae for artillery arrows! Give those guys who don't know whether they live or die a little bit of bitterness! On the car building, Lin Feng, who was expressionless, spoke in a flat tone, but the people around him could feel the cold aura emanating from his body, and a murderous aura of hatred permeated the entire car building.
"Brothers! Push harder, rush forward! The brothers behind us have come to our aid! Seeing that tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched to support their camp again, Yang Neng and Huo Cun suddenly became energetic, and shouted at the subordinates around them, and under the protection of their own soldiers, they began to command the deputy generals around them to assemble and sort out the army, so as not to completely disperse before the reinforcements arrived.
What made Yang Neng and Huo Cun a little relieved was that the reinforcements in the rear did boost the morale of their cavalry team, and the crossbow arrows from the Feng family army camp in front of them were suddenly reduced by a large part, and everyone also felt less pressure, and at the same time, there was room to regroup the formation.
At this time, the distance between the two sides has broken through four hundred meters, if the current situation continues, the cavalry regiment of the pseudo-Qi will be able to regroup and start charging in a few minutes, and at that time, no matter how sharp the attack of the ballista is, the iron hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry will be completely wasted, and there is no need to worry at all.
And the Feng Jiajun didn't seem to think of these at all, and they were still unhurriedly relying on the hundreds of ballistas in the front row to fire crossbow arrows, as if they were deliberately leaving time for the other party. The only change was that the space between the ballistas in the front row began to slowly gather the crowd, and thousands of crossbowmen moved their feet quickly, and in a matter of minutes, they had already arrived in place.
All the crossbowmen were on one knee, a light crossbow was held flat on their chests, and the wooden box where the crossbow arrows were stored had been placed on the ground on the right hand, and the crossbow arrows glowing with cold light were lying quietly in the box, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them. The archers, on the other hand, stand behind the crossbowmen, in two rows in front and back, staggered with each other, in order to make it easier to switch positions before and after archery. In addition to the quiver on his back, the ground in front of him was already full of carved feather arrows, closely arranged together, and the stainless steel arrows were buried deep in the ground, as if they were deliberately hiding their edge.
"Brothers! No arrows! Hurry up! Don't be afraid! Our Emperor of Great Qi is right behind us! For the sake of Daqi, rush! "Due to the reason of temporary rectification and assembly, Yang Neng and Huo Cun's cavalry regiment, which has lost more than half of the cavalry regiment, is not very far from the reinforcements behind them, this situation that may be supported by the rear at any time, Yang Neng and Huo Cun have no worries, so they re-launched the charge again, although the crossbow arrows whistling in front of them will occasionally take away the lives of hundreds of people, but at a distance of three or four hundred meters, if the horse speed is increased to the extreme, it is just a few fingers. It was totally worth it to kill and wound a few thousand more people in exchange for a successful charge.
From a distance of less than four hundred meters to a distance of three hundred meters, it was completely just a blink of an eye, and in the eyes of the rebels of the pseudo-Qi, it only took a few more blinks for the iron hooves of their own cavalry to trample on the camp of the Feng family army in front of them, and at that time, those ballistas who had just killed more than 10,000 of their own companions would become piles of rotten wood.
But this is just an assumption, how could the elite of the Feng family's army let the puppet Qi cavalry easily rush into their own big array? Under the intently gaze of Meng Hong, the high-ranking general of the Feng Family Army, he kept estimating the distance between the two sides in his heart, and he was also muttering to himself: "Three hundred and two, three hundred and one, three hundred!" ”
As Meng Hong's breathing became shorter, the rebels of the pseudo-Qi finally rushed into the range of the bow and arrow, and suddenly Meng Hong shouted violently, and he on horseback waved the command flag in his hand forward at the same time: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Shoot the arrow!!"
"Shoot the arrow!!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou... ”
Accompanied by the loud orders of dozens of heralds and officers, countless sounds of breaking the sky suddenly sounded, completely covering up the sound of the horse's hooves of the puppet Qi cavalry, and thousands of carved feather arrows suddenly rose into the air, as if suffering from a locust plague, the sky was full of arrows, and went straight to the puppet Qi rebels.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou... ”
Another volley, the archers in the front and back two rows of staggered positions, dislocation and replacement have been trained countless times, the full strong bow in his hand is loosened, turned to the left and retreated, and at the same time the right hand will pull out a feather arrow inserted in front of the ground, and the companion in the back row is quickly forward, the strong bow that has already been drawn is tilted into the sky, without even any aiming, release the bowstring, and then continue to turn to the left, pull out a feather arrow while retreating.
All the archers were tangent to each other in a straight line drawn by the feathered arrow stuck in the ground in front of them, and the two of them rotated back and forth in a regular circle, and it took almost a few seconds to send out a feathered arrow. But there were 8,000 archers alone, and every time the archers turned a circle on the ground, 8,000 carved feather arrows were planted from the sky into the crowd of cavalry that was charging from the pseudo-Qi.
Even if the lethality and penetration at a long distance are limited, tens of thousands of feather arrows will always cause a wide range of casualties to the pseudo-Qi, especially in the face of the sky feather arrows, the war horses without protection measures are completely unable to resist, and those injured war horses will definitely throw the soldiers on their backs to the ground, and then they will face the ruthless trampling of the iron hooves of their companions.
Even so, the cavalry that had completely charged the pseudo-Qi could not stop at all, although the rhythm of the march was disrupted and stagnated a little, but after a slight reaction, they charged again, and the distance of two hundred meters between the two sides was quickly jumped.
And at this time, it is the moment when the real doom of the puppet Qi cavalry comes, at close range, the lethality of the crossbow arrows is completely higher than that of the bow and arrow, and the aiming salvo of five thousand crossbowmen has caused great damage to the puppet Qi cavalry. Moreover, the main target of the crossbowmen was not the cavalry on horseback, but the horses that were running rapidly.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou... ”
Every salvo of tens of thousands of bows and crossbows would bring great spiritual shock to everyone present, but the sound of breaking the sky that was enough to pierce the sky was enough to make people feel extremely shocked. This kind of power does not seem to be something that humans can create, but a force that can compete with nature.
There are more than 30,000 pseudo-Qi cavalry, and there are only a few hundred cavalry that can still survive on horseback less than 100 meters away from the forward position of the Feng family's army. The rest, either dead or wounded, and even if they were still alive, they had lost their four-legged war horses, so they could only rely on their two legs, wielding their weapons and continuing to rush towards the Feng family's army, and what greeted them were cold crossbow arrows, ruthless feather arrows, and a little cold light emitted by the stainless steel arrows.
