"The longbow team is ready, and the target is the Hu hoplites, sixty paces ahead of the direction. Heavy arrows and full bows. Wang Jiu, who commanded the Longbow Corps to fight, ordered.

After three breaths, the well-trained Saigo longbowmen immediately adjusted their angles. Wang Jiu immediately shouted: "Volley! ”

After hearing Wang Jiu's order, the longbowmen immediately released their bowstrings. More than 100 specially made long and heavy arrows immediately flew towards the Hu people's heavily armed foot soldiers who were sixty paces away.

These heavily armed foot soldiers are all warriors selected by Shesu from various ethnic groups, and they are the elite of the assault cavalry. These people are battle-hardened veterans. Just listening to the sound of arrows breaking through the air, I can tell that a rain of arrows is coming. Without the orders of the Hu commanders, they spontaneously formed a small anti-arrow formation with their comrades of the same clan. Although these small anti-arrow formations seemed very rudimentary to the Xixiang Army, which pursued perfection, they were rare among the Hu people. After all, Hu Ren really doesn't pay attention to formation, or it can be said that he doesn't pay attention to it. For the casual Hu people who advocate personal martial arts, the formation is relatively high-end.

Although the Hu people's anti-arrow array was simple, the effect was still good, at least they blocked a lot of heavy arrows from the Xixiang army. The longbow is more powerful when it is full. In about seventy paces, you can shoot through the iron armor. But these elite assault riders wore double layers of heavy armor, and they couldn't shoot through a distance of about sixty paces. In addition, these elite assault cavalry put on an anti-arrow formation, which greatly reduced the hit rate of heavy arrows. Except for a few unlucky people who were shot in the weak part of the armor and unfortunately fell, most of the rest of the Hu people were not injured at all. This surprised Liu Wu, who commanded the operation. It was the first time he had seen a longbow attack with a full bow and only lose so few men. The Longbowman's accumulated attacks are completely useless. However, Liu Wu's mind was still relatively clear at this time, and he immediately stopped the Longbow team from launching another fire. After all, the Longbow team can only fire five rounds at full bow. Although he didn't shoot many elite assault horsemen just now, the Longbow Team was still a big killing weapon in Liu Wu's hands. When shot at close range, the longbow is no less lethal than a crossbow.

In fact, what Liu Wu didn't know was the elite cavalry who had just been attacked by the longbow shooting, and many of them had cold sweats behind their backs. Although the heavy arrows did not pierce the double layers of heavy armor, many of them pierced the first layer of armor of these elite cavalry riders, leaving a large mark on the second layer of armor. The first time I encountered this situation, even if they were all elites in the assault cavalry, their psychological quality was different from ordinary people. But they were more or less afraid of this giant bow in the hands of the Saigo army. In order to prevent another attack by these giant arrows. The commander of the Hu people, who commanded these elite assault cavalry battles, ordered a thirty-step back. Quietly wait for the erection of the ladder car to be completed.

The erection of the Huren ladder truck was not easy. Because these two ladders were built relatively large. So it's unusually bulky and very slow. There are no anti-arrow planks at the bottom of the ladder cart to help the cart people block the arrows. In response to this shortcoming, Liu Wu specially transferred a large number of short archers to shoot the Hu people who were in charge of pushing the cart at the bottom of the ladder cart. In this way, these Hu people who were in charge of pushing the cart poured blood mold for eight lifetimes. Shot down by Saigo Short Archers wave after wave. As a result, the ladder truck moves more slowly. Although there were also quite a few commandos desperately covering the shooting. But the shortbowmen of Saigo ignored them, and stared at the Hu man in the cart and fired arrows.

Although the improved ladder truck already has a certain fire prevention capacity. However, it is not completely immune to fire. Liu Wu also intensified his fire attack by organizing the short archers to shoot the Hu people in the carts, intending to burn the ladder carts before they reached the wall. This kept Hu Ren, who was in charge of extinguishing the fire with a shovel, busy. Of course! They were also a priority target for the Saigo archers. These Hu people also suffered heavy casualties as a result.

Although the road to erect these two ladder trucks was difficult, the efforts of the Hu people did not care about casualties. In the end, the two ladder trucks were put up. The top of the ladder truck is equipped with a grappling hook, which can be used to hook the wall. Once the ladder truck is erected, it is impossible to push it away. Moreover, the ladder car is equipped with armor such as a large shield. It is not only convenient but also safe to use to get to the city.

"The strongest blue wolves on the grassland, listen to my orders and tear apart the cowardly Zhao people (that is, Han people) in front of you! After the war you will be rewarded. Kill! Blue wolves, let these Zhao dogs regret being our enemies. The commander of the thousand commanders commanding these elite assault cavalry commanded with a roar.

After saying that, the commander took the lead and rushed out. With a 'whoosh', a sharp arrow flew towards him. However, this commander is also a well-known warrior, with rich experience in battlefield combat, and his reflexes are far beyond ordinary people. Agile, he immediately covered his face with a shield. He believed that the enemy's sharp arrows would never be able to penetrate the three layers of heavy armor on his body. In fact, it was just as he expected. Although the sharp arrow passed through the double layer of armor, it stopped outside the third layer. The commander of the Hu people, who thought that he had perfectly blocked this sharp arrow, pulled out this sharp arrow and roared defiantly. Then rushed to the east camp. The elite assault riders behind him were encouraged and rushed forward. Commander Hu didn't know that his arrogant behavior just now had completely offended a person, a terrible person, a person who could easily kill him.

"Volley!" As the elite of the Raiders charged towards the eastern wall, the longbow team, which had been out of fire for a long time, attacked again. In order to ensure the lethality of the longbow in a full bow state, the longbow captain Wang specially waited for these elite assault riders to enter within forty paces before launching a firefight.

It turns out that at close range, the longbow still has good lethality against the heavily armored Hu people. In these forty paces, the Longbows fired only two rounds of fire (don't look at the two layers of heavy armor these troopers). But each of them was carefully selected by Shesu. Once they run, everyone is as light as a swallow and walks as fast. not affected by armor in the slightest). More than thirty elite horsemen fell forever.

These two ladder bikes were originally prepared for the debut of the elite assault riders. With these two ladder vehicles, the elite assault riders can climb the Dongying wall more quickly and safely.

"Quick! Fast! Hurry up and set up a formation for Lao Tzu! Prepare to engage the enemy. Be sure to guard these two docks for so-and-so. Later, whoever comes out will be killed! A military commander yelled at the military guards near him.

This commander was unlucky, and these two ladder trucks were all set up in his defense area.

"Kill this group of Zhao dogs!" Suddenly, more than a dozen elite riders rushed out of a ladder car. These more than ten are not afraid of death. Don't care about the dense Saigo spear formation. Relying on the double armor on his body, he directly and recklessly rushed over.

The first elite assault cavalry to rush over was directly stabbed into a sieve by the spear array of the Xixiang Army. The same goes for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth. But when the seventh rushed. Because many of the warriors still had the corpses of the Hu people hanging on their spears. Failed to assassinate the elite Turk in time. The elite rider rammed and tore a small gap. Although the elite was then killed by a heavily armed soldier who smashed his head with a mace. But the opening has been opened, and these battle-hardened elite riders will not let go of this opportunity. The elite assault riders that followed closely also rushed in with this opening. On the wall, he began to fight hand-to-hand with the soldiers. The elite cavalry on another ladder cart took advantage of the attention of the soldiers on the wall to be attracted by their companions and attacked. This was the beginning of hand-to-hand combat between the elite cavalry and the Saigo warriors.
