When the whole team seemed to be a little cowering, one after another people were accurately shot through the spine and knee socket by arrows with great force from behind, and the screams of pain were endless.

"Either you go and destroy the enemy in front of you! Or, try our bow and arrow! Let's see if the poisonous arrows that the children shoot out of thin air are powerful, or those of us who are not afraid of poison at all, but can shoot through the body with hundreds of shots! At this time, several Guanwai elite riders who knew how to sinicize shouted in a non-standard Gyeonggi accent while riding horses and shooting one after another.

Dozens of people died tragically one after another, and the entire infantry team pressed up under the elite cavalry commander. The horse thieves and bandits in front also knew that they were now in a desperate situation. However, after the infantry began to be able to cover many people with shields, it still gave many people a sense of security, and the whole army began to attack again.

Compared with the unprotected cavalry attack, with the shield cover, the probability of hitting the arrow is smaller. Although the opportunity to raid was lost, at least the attacking team was able to play its strength normally.

When arrows were thrown one after another, the crowd quickly dodged, leaving a lot of empty space, which of course also deprived the raiding team of the advantage of strength that could be obtained locally by concentrated assault.

At this moment, a succession of 40 or 50 pounds of "raised artillery" began to be fired from close to the opposite side and as far as 200 paces away, and the length of the entire marching column was only more than a mile, which means that at this moment more than 100 light lifting guns carried by more than 2,000 officers and men of the Guards began to fire completely. In a short period of time, a salvo of at least more than 3,000 projectiles hit, these projectiles weighing only about one or two halves like ordinary bows and crossbows may not be very threatening to soldiers with armor, but for these bandits and horse thieves who only have some thick leather clothes at most, they have formed a lot of deterrence and killing, and dozens of people were hit by the heavy bullets in the first round of bombardment.

Immediately afterwards, the twenty artillery pieces dominated by the second general's cannon, which was almost difficult to dodge, spoke, and under the bombardment of thousands of seven-coin projectiles that were even more difficult to dodge and faster, more than 30 people with incomplete shields were knocked to the ground.

The terrifying poisoned arrows, the firearms that began to shoot continued to bring about 200 casualties, and the commotion caused by the panic of the horses, which completely shook the more than 2,000 bandits and horse thieves.

"There's no hope! Instead of letting poisoned arrows shoot to death! Killed by firearms! It's better to let those Dongyu shoot to death! Quite a few shouted.

More and more people have chosen to flee, and most of them have lost the courage to act in the face of the continuous firearms strikes, and have to lie on the ground and wait for death.

When he saw this situation, Xiao Xuan, who was secretly observing the battlefield, felt that the pressure brought by the surprise attack at the beginning had eased a lot. It can be determined that the surprise attack of these bandits, who are not fully equipped and do not have an advantage in numbers and troops, has failed to attack their own army.

Although those special poisoned arrows had been tested on prisoners in the edict prison before, they could show such an effect on the battlefield, which still made Xiao Xuan feel a little overjoyed, at least proving that some of the methods he had prepared and even adopted in the past two months were correct: building a half-buried water tower, and creating a vacuum area on the top of the water tower by releasing water to a certain extent. The venom of the snake krait taken out by the snake catcher who has just been named a snake catcher is first centrifuged by the rotation and centrifugation of the tape measure pulley, and then the venom is dehydrated by using the negative pressure brought by the vacuum through a special box that can float up to the vacuum tower and automatically turn on the switch at regular intervals.

In this way, the venom of the krait snake will not become sour and smelly and become ineffective within a day. Of course, the timer switch of the advanced Western clock principle, as well as the production of the entire snake venom dehydration tank, were finally made with the help of many Westerners around Pang Tianshou.

The production method of snake venom is still too expensive to meet the needs of tens of thousands of specially made poisonous arrows, especially when the time is not very sufficient. What is removed from the oleander bark sap is an important addition. In order to further prevent the deterioration of the poison and to be effectively fixed in the many specially made grooves in the arrow cluster, a lot of grease is used.

Xiao Xuan was not sure that these poisons would have the effect of less than one milligram and half of the lethal dose per kilogram when they were used in actual combat. In other words, arsenic is more than ten times more toxic, and the only way to increase the volume of the groove can be adopted. This poses a great test to the manufacture of the entire arrow cluster. Fortunately, Xiao Xuan didn't care that the cost of the entire arrow had increased several times as much as before, and there were also many skilled craftsmen in the battalion, so he equipped the entire team of nearly 1,000 archers with a total of tens of thousands of specially made poison arrows with at least one milliliter and a thousand milligrams of poison loading in the grooves.

Xiao Xuan actually wondered in his heart, why did some poisonous insects and poisonous snakes evolve venom that can easily poison tigers and even elephants? The reason seems to have been realized in these preparations. Without more than ten times the lethal dose of ordinary prey, I am afraid that it is simply impossible to make a poisoned person incapacitate in a short period of time. The other party finally died of poison, but the time for killing himself at least one stick of incense to an hour before this time, and the entire battle situation has ended, so how valuable is it? It's like the U.S. nuclear war plan in the fifties, where infantry launched an attack after a nuclear strike to annihilate the enemy. The enemy army will be wiped out in a day to a few days, and even if your own soldiers are terminally ill in a few months to years, that has achieved "tactical value"

The poorly armed bandits and bandits were defeated without any suspense after the Guards responded to the initial surprise attack with unusually poisoned arrows, and even if there were elite cavalry to supervise the battle, it would be difficult to force those who had completely lost their fighting spirit to fight.

At this time, the scattered mysterious riders in the distance were gradually exposed to the eyes of the young officers and soldiers of the Guards.

"Who are they?" muttered a soldier.

"Probably the thieves! Be careful... ”

However, the discussion of the young officers and soldiers quickly attracted the attention of the squad leader: "There is less nonsense in battle"

The mysterious rangers, scattered a mile away, suddenly gathered in one direction, as if they were intending to attack again. More than 100 cavalrymen were still spaced more than three zhang apart, divided into three rows in front and back, in a very sparse formation, but at this time they were much denser than before. Seeing the loadout, Xiao Xuan was not polite, and quickly ordered the firearms and gunners of each team to shoot with fierce fire again.

For a time, a total of 100 40 or 50 pound-level guns and 20 guns of the second general's level opened fire together with the standard of a strong charge that was in danger of exploding, and fired at the loose enemy cavalry in the distance.
