Chapter 70: Fierce Battle, Massacre

Whoosh!

The battle was still going on, and after being blocked by the ballista, it was only a short time that the fake Hun cavalry killed the place where the red deer was placed. Thousands of false Hun cavalry crashed into the horse deer.

Bang! Thundered!

The small horse-blocking deer stopped the advance of the fake Hun cavalry, and the fake Hun cavalry continued to crash into the horse-blocking deer, directly hitting the head and bleeding, and the cavalry fell off the horse.

The commander who was in charge of commanding the archers in battle, when he saw the fake Hun cavalry killing in front of the red deer formation, waved his big hand and shouted: "Release!" ”

Three-stage shooting!

The archers immediately released their index fingers, and the sharp arrows on the bows and arrows galloped towards the fake Hun cavalry in front of the formation. Poof! Poof! Poof!

Ye Tong's archers, the bows and arrows in their hands are not ordinary bows and arrows, they are compound bows exchanged from the system, and the effective shooting distance is as high as 80 steps - 100 steps.

In this era, the effective range of 80 steps - 100 steps is definitely bull fork, you must know that one step is 1.4 meters - 1.5 meters, and 100 steps is equivalent to about 150 meters.

At this time, the Hun iron cavalry on the grassland, the bow and arrow in the hand, its range is at most between 60 and 80 steps. The main reason is that the Huns lacked iron tools and did not have an iron bow, so they could only make bows out of wood, and their production level was higher than that of the Great Qin Empire in the Central Plains, which could not be compared at all.

Whoosh!

The archers took three shots, and the continuous rain of arrows washed the battlefield, and the fake Hun cavalry in front of the battle formation became the object of slaughter on the battlefield.

In front of the Qin army's battle array, blood was soaring, war horses were neighing, and fake Hun cavalry was scolding. The small horse-reeling deer blocked the road of the fake Hun cavalry, and next to the rejecting deer, there were constantly fake Hun cavalry falling and falling off their horses, and there were no one-man war horses going crazy, swaying, and ......scurrying around.

Half an hour later, the fake Hun cavalry retreated, leaving thousands of corpses behind. After attacking for half an hour, he did not break through the small red deer, but was wantonly hunted by the bows and crossbowmen of the Qin army.

In fact, the situation of the entire battlefield Ye Tong knew in his heart that there were not many fake Hun cavalry who were really shot by ballistas and bows and arrows, accounting for less than half of the thousands of casualties, and many fake Hun cavalry died in the chaos and were trampled to death by war horses.

Even if he was hit by an arrow in his body, he would not die for a while, but would be trampled to death by the war horses of his comrades. It was a one-sided massacre, and the Qin soldiers were not attacked.

Under the arrangement of the commander, the ballista soldiers and archers sat down on the spot, took out food from their bags to replenish food, drank water, rested, and waited for the next wave of resistance.

An hour later, the Huns attacked again. This attack was also a fake Hun cavalry, and the Hun iron cavalry continued to be a spectator.

Ye Tong saw that the second wave of attacks was about to begin, and immediately gave an order to make the archers and ballistae soldiers in front ready for battle. The shield soldiers are also prepared, not to be caught off guard by the opponent's attack.

After receiving the order, the archers and ballistas, who had been sitting lazily on the ground, immediately stood up and made all kinds of preparations.

900 meters, 800 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters. When the ballista commander heard 300 meters, he shouted: Shoot!

Whoosh!

More than 200 ballistas fired a salvo, and more than 200 stout and sharp arrows quickly flew towards the oncoming fake Hun cavalry. In an instant, the false Hun cavalry charge array was slightly blocked again, leaving hundreds of corpses, and the fake Hun cavalry soon rushed through the rain of arrows and crashed into the red deer.

Bang bang!

Bang! Thundered!

Collide! The war horse collided with the red deer, the fake Hun cavalry who was too fast fell off the horse, and some Qiang cavalry jumped off the horse, ready to use people to clean up the horse reeling deer blocking the way forward.

The commander of the archers immediately shouted: "Shoot! Three-stage. ”

Whoosh!

A hundred meters in front of the Qin army's array, it became a place of death, and fake Hun cavalry kept being shot. It was really a one-sided massacre, although the fake Hun cavalry had a bow in their hands, the range could not be reached, it was useless, and it became an ornament.

The war was cruel and merciless, and the fake Hun cavalry became the biggest casualties of this battle. With each wave of attack, the fake Hun cavalry would drop thousands of corpses, and finally retreated unwillingly and reluctantly.

For a whole day, the false Hun cavalry launched nearly ten waves of attacks under the orders of the Huns, losing thousands of horsemen in each attack. It's like a bottomless pit that constantly devours the lives of the fake Hun cavalry.

Zhang Han ran to Ye Tong's side and said, "Lord, the Huns want to use fake Hun cavalry to consume our arrows. ”

Hehe!

"That's good! We are happy to accompany this kind of consumption. How nice it is to solve the problem with a long-range bow and arrow! Soldiers don't need to fight in close quarters. ”

Others don't know, Ye Tong knows how many arrows there are in the ring. Ye Tong casually estimated that there were at least 20 million arrows. Of course, Zhang Han, Zhou Bo, Bai Lixin and others under these circumstances did not know, so they were worried that the arrows would be consumed too much.

"Lord, we don't have so many arrows to consume!"

"Zhang Han, who told you that we don't have arrows, don't worry! We have a lot of arrows, enough to withstand several large-scale battles. ”

At the end of the daytime battle, the false Hun cavalry lost nearly 20,000 horses. The Qin army under Ye Tong consumed a large number of arrows, and the soldiers had no casualties, but the archers and ballistae were exhausted, and the archers and ballistae performed all day long.

Zhang Han saw the tired expressions of the archers and ballistae, and immediately said: "Lord, tomorrow I will not let the light cavalry participate in the shooting, so as to reduce the pressure on the archers." ”

Oh!

"Good! If the Huns still want to use fake Hun cavalry tomorrow and not consume our arrows, let the light cavalry play. In addition, we will arrange manpower to guard the battlefield tonight, and we will not let the other party take advantage of the night to clean up those red deer, so we will be very passive. ”

"Lord, don't worry! I discussed this matter with Zhou Bo, and the two of us will take turns on duty, so there will be no problems. ”

"Good!"

That night, Ye Tong specially allowed the archers and ballistae to drink. The other arms can't drink, can't be careless, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Zhang Han suggested: "Lord, if you don't let the humble lead the troops and horses to attack tonight, if you can burn the grain and grass of the Huns, then the other party can only speed up the decisive battle." ”

Ye Tong didn't gnaw, but took out a few pieces of copper from his arms, threw them away, picked them up and put them away, and then said lightly: "No!" The opponent is well defended, and it is difficult to succeed, and the hexagram indicates that there is a great evil phenomenon in sending troops. Besides, it's good for us to confront us like this! ”

Zhang Han only had to give up his thoughts, and Ye Tong's ability to divinate hexagrams was basically known to everyone in the military pavilion. In addition, the ancients were superstitious about divination, so Zhang Han believed that what Ye Tong said made sense.

In fact, Ye Tong had doubts about the accuracy of divination, but many times the divination really came true. made Ye Tong, an atheist, puzzled, plus Qian Qian said that Zhou Yi is the top classic, if you are really proficient, it will be very powerful.

Other people's words can be ignored, and Sissi's words Ye Tong has to pay attention to them. For this reason, Ye Tong was also studying Zhou Yishang's problems when he had free time.

The next day, the battle continued, and Ye Tong followed Zhang Han's advice and sent 5,000 light cavalry to replace the archers and let the archers rest. After all, it takes a lot of physical strength for an archer to draw a bow, and although there is time to take a break, it is not possible to recover from the best state for a while.

The task of the light cavalry was left to the turk cavalry, so that the archers could rest and be in good combat condition.

The crossbow car has been under the guidance of Gongyiqiu and Huang Yueying, and the rocker mechanism has been adopted, which greatly reduces the physical strength of the crossbow soldier when he is on the arrow, and the speed of the arrow has also increased by several levels, and the shooting speed has been greatly improved.

Ye Tong saw through the binoculars that the fake Hun cavalry did not dispatch 10,000 cavalry as yesterday, only 5,000 cavalry.

Hehe!

Ye Tong smiled gloomily in his heart, that's right, the Huns are ready to use fake Hun cavalry to consume arrows. The 5,000 cavalry attacked, and the formation was much dispersed, which greatly reduced the lethality of the ballista and bow and arrow. The consumption of arrows has not decreased.

In this way, the false Hun cavalry attacked, leaving only a few hundred corpses per wave, at most a thousand, and the losses were greatly reduced. However, with more than ten waves of attacks a day, the loss of cavalry also reached nearly 10,000 cavalry a day. For the false Huns, no less disastrous.

After three consecutive days of attack, the fake Huns dropped nearly 40,000 horses. Ye Tong saw that there were too many corpses piled up in front of the formation, and he had no choice but to order his soldiers to clean up and bury them. On the one hand, it is to prevent the occurrence of plagues, and on the other hand, some arrows can be recovered during the cleaning process.

Of course, after the used arrows are recovered, only 20% of the 10 arrows can be used, and the rest can no longer be used. Ye Tong didn't care, the recovered arrows, Ye Tong didn't let the soldiers use them anymore, and directly put them away with the ring. The iron on the arrows is a good thing and should not be wasted.

If you don't say anything else, if you throw it into the recycling furnace, you can at least exchange it for some wealth value. Even if you sell it to a merchant, you can still get a lot of income.

The Huns smiled and saw the Qin soldiers cleaning up the fake Hun corpses and recovering the arrows. Thinking that the Qin soldiers had begun to lack arrows, as long as they attacked for a few more days, it was estimated that the Qin army would be short of arrows. At that time, it was the time for the Huns to go to war.

After seven days of uninterrupted attack, the false Huns lost nearly 60,000 horses and suffered very heavy losses. The Qin army remained the same and did not suffer any major damage.

That night, Ye Tong divined the hexagram again, smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Han: "Zhang Han, you send soldiers and horses to the side of the Xiongnu camp, and let the soldiers beat gongs and drums every hour." Remember, don't stay in one place and beat gongs and drums, but keep changing positions, so it will be difficult for the Huns to chase and kill. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Han was so happy in his heart! After seven days of fierce fighting, I didn't get anything, and I was really anxious, you know, experience points are obtained on the battlefield.

In the dead of night, Zhang Han personally led dozens of soldiers carrying gongs and drums, quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the Hun camp, and immediately asked his soldiers to beat gongs and drums.

The sleeping Huns were awakened by the sound of gongs and drums, startled, and immediately got up, reorganized their soldiers, and prepared for battle.

When the Huns reorganized their soldiers and prepared for battle, the sound of gongs and drums stopped. The Huns sent scouts to inspect and said that there was no enemy around, not even a single mosquito.

The Hun commander is so angry in his heart! But there was nowhere to vent, and there was no way, so he had to order to continue to rest, leaving only a small number of soldiers on duty.
