Chapter 379 Mounted Archery Battle
This morning, the 50,000 Mongolian warriors not only had enough meat and coarse grains, but also received a few sips of mare's milk wine.
"Hey, it's a pity I wasn't chosen!" Watching the warriors eat and drink to their heart's content, the nearby soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The war was approaching, and Xie Tu also brought out his best tea to entertain Admiral Nale.
"This battle of Nale can be said to be related to the fate of Mobei! Be cautious! Han people and horses are strong and thick, and they must not be resisted! ”
Nale also nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Dahan, we have two horses by one person, and the horsepower of the Han army will definitely not last long." ”
"Dahan, please rest assured, when my ancestors' army marched westward to the extreme west, those heavy horsemen were not much worse than the Han people, but in the end, they could only lie down like coffins one by one."
As soon as they thought of the glory of the Menggu Empire, everyone immediately became excited.
"Good! We did it, and I wish Admiral Naal a victory. "The more Xie Tu thought about it, the more relieved he became, their fierce ancient cavalry had not faced any enemy.
Time was fast, and soon 60,000 cavalry were ready to take the stage.
After Chen Xiong replenished the energy of the heavy horse and the iron guard, he asked the ten thousand iron guards to step forward.
The Han army moved, and the fierce ancient cavalry also acted immediately.
"Humph! This fierce ancient man is so cunning, he actually has one man and two horses! Fei Song couldn't help but scold.
Chen Xiong smiled lightly: "Hehe! The fierce ancients were wrong, our heavy horses and iron horses are not Western iron cans, and they can't run away with one person and two horses. ”
Pedal ~ Pedal ~
Jingle ~ Ding ~ This is the sound of iron armor, and pieces of iron armor make a slight friction sound.
Forget if the centaurs are all iron armor, is the two-meter big plate sword genuine!
Looking at the iron guards, they are not those fat cavalrymen, but this weapon looks even more terrifying.
There was a long sword and gun of nearly 100 catties hanging on the heavy horse, and he also carried a thick saber with a length of one meter on his back, and he held a strong crossbow with a range of up to 200 meters in his hand.
"Is this the Han family riding!" Just looking at the weapons and equipment, Nale sweats on his forehead!
Fortunately, there are many of them, and it is a big deal to sacrifice these tens of thousands of war horses!
Knock knock knock ~ When they were seven hundred meters apart, the war drums also sounded.
Woo woo ~ woo ~ Then the sad horn also sounded, and the horn sounded to make the vast desert even more lonely.
The Mongols were the attackers in this battle, and they were the first to move.
"Scatter and surround, turn over the horse and shoot."
The Mobei cavalry is also ready to show their housekeeping skills.
Erection frame ~ 20,000 cavalry immediately surrounded the two wings of the Han army, and the 10,000 cavalry in front also ran slowly.
The 30,000 cavalry were scattered, all armed with bows and arrows.
The Mongols wanted to surround them on all sides in order to demonstrate their horse archery skills. Mo Yi also nodded in agreement, and the Iron Guard Cavalry also asked the Fierce Ancients to see their cavalry.
The heavy cavalry did not rush to kill, but spread out in a half-circle.
Thundered~
Alas, the law ~ the rushing army, the momentum is as turbulent as a tsunami.
"Shoot the horse's eyes, the horse's nose, the horse's ears." The commanders of all sizes also reminded again. In the face of heavy armor, you can only shoot its vital points, and it is better to shoot than a flexible person.
Boom ~ The cavalry is getting closer and closer, and it has reached two hundred meters.
The effective killing of the Menggu cavalry was about eighty meters, so the iron guard with the strong crossbow did not move.
Seeing that the Han army was holding a steel crossbow, the Mobei warriors were not stupid, and immediately hid under the belly of the horse one by one.
I saw that some people were still switching positions between the two horses! Fat Song was also dumbfounded: "Good guy! The ancient riding technique really lives up to its name! ”
Chen Xiong, who was watching the battle on the back of the crane, also smiled and nodded: "In terms of horsemanship, the fierce ancients are unparalleled in the world!" What a pity! Met the Imperial Guard. ”
"Haha! Archery! Mo Yi laughed, people can hide, but war horses may not.
Buzz~ The steel wire string exploded powerfully, and the air was blown up.
Xiuxiu~ The tumbling steel crossbow quickly crossed a distance of one hundred and sixty meters.
Most of the arrows were fired at the neck and head, and the steady crossbow bolts did not disappoint.
Snort~ The horse's neck was pierced in an instant, and the steel crossbow almost flew out of the horse's neck.
Sigh ~ sigh ~ a neck of blood, the horse's eyes immediately weakened on all four feet. Under the action of inertia, the war horse did not stop after rushing to the ground.
"Ah~no~" The warrior's firstborn was pressed into the soil by the war horse, and his face was painful, and outsiders didn't know it.
Some of the war horses were lucky and were only shot in the head, and the painful war horses immediately jumped up.
Sigh Rhythm ~ Sigh Rhythm ~ Shouted a few times, and the war horse immediately turned back, so the warriors under the horse's belly were basically fine.
Some people can even catch the empty horses around them with a jump and a pull.
Ten thousand crossbow arrows were shot instantly, most of them hit the horses, and only a few of them hit the horse's shoulders and stomachs. The wounded horses did not fall, and they could run a little longer, although the speed had slowed down considerably.
Sigh law ~
"Ah~ah~" The screams of thousands of people did not stop the army, and the follow-up cavalry also reached a hundred meters.
At this time, the warrior under the horse immediately turned over the war horse, and at the same time drew out the arrow.
Buzz~ 10,000 steel strings exploded again, and 10,000 desperate steel crossbows flew again.
Xiu Xiu ~ It's too fast, so fast that most people don't come and bow down in a hurry.
Touching ~ sneering ~ If the body is hit hard, even if it is thick leather armor or iron armor, it will not be able to resist the sharp and hard steel tip.
The commander's eyes were big, and a wave of despair instantly appeared in his mind.
"Ah~haha~ha~"
He wanted to shout, but he was already tired, and slowly, the warrior could only roll off his horse.
After a wail, at least 8,000 warriors fell to the ground, and with the previous cavalry, the 30,000 cavalry was already half of the short.
"Ah~Archery~Shoot Arrow~"
There is not a single warrior who is not angry, and one by one the brothers who had laughed have fallen.
As soon as the crossbow arrows came out, the iron guards who had hung up the steel crossbows immediately raised their long swords.
Xiuxiu~ At this time, the bows and arrows of the Mongolian warriors were also about to shoot accurately.
Wow Wow Wow ~ Wow Wow ~ The heavy horse also began to sprint, and his eyes were also staring at the bow and arrow in front of him.
Jingle ~ After a loud sound, most of the arrows were blocked.
Woo Woo ~ But the second round of arrow rain has come, and the iron guards are still indifferently sweeping.
Under the desperate eyes of the ancient cavalry, the Han people's brooms had already swept away most of their arrows. The remaining arrows were shot at the heavy armor and were immediately bounced away.
"Ahh Retreat, retreat! "Shooting is useless, and the warriors are nervous!
Boom ~ heavy horses galloping, like flat ground explosions.
Huhu~"Go~Walk~" The distance is only fifty or sixty meters, and the Mobei warriors have already turned their horses' heads, and at the same time they also hurriedly changed horses. As for the other horses, they also kicked the attached ropes away from the horses' necks.
When there were still forty meters left, the fierce ancient cavalry completed a magnificent turn.
Sigh law ~ sigh law ~ Then the war horse immediately rushed wildly.
"Haha, send them on their way." Mo Yi, who was laughing, immediately drew a short spear in his left hand.
Whoa~ The wind was whispering in his ears, and then the cavalry only felt boundless pain in his back and stomach.
When I looked down, it turned out that the short spearhead had leaked out.
"Hehe~he~ Invincible in riding and shooting!" In desperation, Captain Wan immediately closed his eyes.
After the 20,000 short spears flew out one after another, the 30,000 cavalry now only had 2,000 lucky ones.
"No~No~ Impossible!" Nale felt like he shouldn't have woken up, he really wanted to wake up soon! How can it be! It's only been a long time, how could it be!
