Chapter 054: Spike
The sun in the late spring afternoon unexpectedly exuded a scorching breath in the sky, and the heavy clouds seemed to wrap the heavens and the earth in a thick quilt, covering it tightly, impermeable to the wind, without a trace of spring coolness.
The heavy and chaotic sound of the horse's hooves on the ground in the distance, the wheezing and snorting of the war horse were getting closer and closer, and the Xuanjia army rushed over with a horse. The Xuanjia Army deserves the name of the world's number one force, they are magnificent, the billowing smoke and huge shouts make them look like a flood.
The three thousand Mo army stood quietly under the scorching sun, most of them wearing heavy armor and lined up in a neat line, facing the flood of Turkic cavalry, their footsteps never let go.
This is also the quality of a veteran, if a new soldier has 30,000 soldiers and horses, he can't help but feel weak in the face of such a momentum of the Xuanjia Army.
"Zhai Changsun, it's a bit level! Still, you're naïve. No wonder your name is only associated with the Xuanjia Army, but Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chi Jingde, who are also commanders, have become the world-famous Sixteen Wei Generals! ”
Luo Tong squinted his eyes and looked forward with his hands on the pergola: as far as his eyes could see, all the Xuanjia soldiers were holding short horse bows in their hands, and they rushed towards them with the momentum of thunder.
The majesty of the Xuanjia Army's charge was really amazing, Luo Tong felt that the ground under his feet was shaking, and the speed was also eye-catching, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front......
500 steps......
400 steps......
300 steps......
The Xuanjia army slowed down, and even the Turks who were skilled in archery and horses could not accurately shoot the target in the rapid sprint, and slowing down and shooting arrows was the basis of mounted archery.
The same goes for the Xuanjia Army.
When the Xuanjia army reached two hundred and fifty paces, they all bent their bows and were ready to shoot......
Because there is no point of focus in cavalry archery, most of the bows and arrows used are short bows, and the most lethal range is within 80 paces, but the two armies are fighting, and people are swarming in one place, as long as they are facing the direction without aiming, they can also hurt people...... It is possible to deal damage to the enemy as long as it comes within range of an arrow.
Especially the arrow feathers brought by the salvo of ten thousand bows......
The short bow used by the Xuanjia Army, which played the role of the Turkic cavalry, had an effective range of up to 150 paces......
Just when the Xuanjia Army stepped into two hundred steps and was about to enter the range of one hundred and fifty steps, Zhai Changsun was stunned to find that the Mo swordsman in front of him suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the soldiers full of crossbow arrows behind him!
The cunning Luo Tong actually hid a large number of crossbowmen behind the Mo Sword Soldiers......
The sky is full of crossbow arrows!
Zhai Changsun was dumbfounded and at a loss!
The effective range of the Tang Dynasty's Fuyuan crossbow can reach 300 steps, and the distance between the two armies is still less than 200 steps at this time.
There is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it.
In an instant, the headless crossbow arrow, with the huge power of the Fuyuan crossbow machine, still shot the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army who rushed in front of them to the back of their horses.
"Bite them! Serial shooting! Luo Tong's eyes flashed with a scorching light, just as he said that Zhai Changsun was too naïve, how could the Mo Dao Array reveal such a big flaw? The slow mobility of the Mo Knife Soldier will indeed become a target, but before trying to use the Mo Knife as a target, the ferocious and domineering crossbow arrow will shoot the opponent into a sieve first.
In fact, there is no need for Luo Tong to give an order, after three months of training and non-stop confrontation exercises, every soldier clearly knows his role, and after a long period of practice, they launch in a neat and orderly manner, one after another, preferring to have sparse arrows and keep shooting.
The powerful firepower network forcibly made the Xuanjia Army stop at one hundred and fifty paces away, and even pressed to two hundred steps.
……
Above the castle tower, after the uproar, there was a deathly silence!
One by one was dumbfounded.
The powerful Xuanjia Army was shot so that they had no power to fight back?
If it weren't for witnessing it with their own eyes, no one would have dared to believe this fact, and before they had even made contact, they would have lost more than three or four hundred people.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
Li Shimin's face was shocked, he was the perfecter of the Mo Dao Array, he thought that he knew the Mo Dao Array well, and he thought that the killing move of the Mo Dao Array was a powerful Mo Dao Formation, but he never thought that the crossbowman was also a killer of the enemy. He couldn't help but glance at Li Jing beside him, but when he saw Li Jing's hand stroking his beard, he didn't know when he froze, and a pair of eyes suddenly flashed with a shining light, staring at the Mo Dao Army crossbow archers who were shooting in a row, without blinking, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
Compared with the shock of the bigwigs watching the battle on the city tower, Yi Zhai Changsun, who was in the game, couldn't help but roar loudly with blood dripping in his heart: "Rush, press me ......"
At this distance, once the crossbow arrows are entangled in a series of stacked shots, it will be difficult for the cavalry to turn around, let alone retreat in a short time, and the more they retreat, the more chaotic it will become. After all, Zhai Changsun is a fierce general, and he saw through this in a panic, and he rushed to the front to fight hand-to-hand with the Modao Army even if he was desperate for losses, so that the power of the crossbow arrow could not be exerted.
Completely caught in the situation of being beaten, losing more than four or five hundred people before fighting, all kinds of circumstances aroused the blood of the Xuanjia army, one by one roaring and ignoring the "crossbow arrows" that came quickly, and stubbornly piled up a way forward with "flesh and blood".
Hundreds of Xuanjia troops fell, and the Fuyuan crossbow was not as good as the machine guns of later generations, and it could not be completely suppressed by firepower, and the distance between the two armies was shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye under the desperate assault of the Xuanjia army.
Luo Tong was finally moved, the Xuanjia Army deserves to be the strong force of the Tang Dynasty at this moment, and this brave spirit that is not afraid of death really deserves the word "strong force".
Luo Tong saw that the Xuanjia Army had a real killing opportunity, so he licked his lips, and when the Xuanjia Army approached sixty paces, he issued a new order: "All the Mo sword soldiers step forward and line up, all the soldiers collect their crossbows and wait for battle, and all the archers shoot for me!" ”
Countless arrows shot into the Xuanjia army formation from the black pressure formation, and the sharp arrow feathers pierced into the "body" of the Xuanjia army, and one by one, the Xuanjia army consciously withdrew from the battle!
Without the suppression of crossbow arrows, the Xuanjia Army finally launched a long-lost acceleration.
Zhai Changsun's face was gloomy and terrifying, his black pupils flashed with anger, and he shouted, "Rush forward!" Step over from the bodies of these wastes...... "Dangdang!" Before he could finish speaking, two sharp arrows burst through the air, one hitting his helmet and the other in the chest and bouncing off! Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, was "killed" and withdrew from the battle gloomily.
In the Modao army formation, Yaochi and Almaty silently withdrew their bows!
After Zhai Changsun was "killed", the Xuanjia Army let out a heart-rending roar, accompanied by an indescribable roar, they swept across the sixty paces like a whirlwind, killing the head of the Mo Dao Army, and seemed to declare war on the Mo Dao Soldiers.
Facing the entry of the Xuanjia Army, Qin Huaiyu fearlessly led the giant shield hand to meet it, if it was a real battle, it would be Modao who would meet the enemy at this time.
With a heavy muffled sound, the horse crashed into the giant shield, and under that terrifying force, the three Mo swordsmen who were stubbornly resisting the triangular frame of the giant shield successfully caught the terrifying impact.
But despite the blockade, the giant shield also sank deep into the earth.
"Blocked!"
"Blocked!"
Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji...... One by one, I couldn't help but stand up!
Li Shimin and Li Jing looked at each other in shock, and they both saw a huge surprise in each other's eyes.
As we all know, the reason why cavalry is terrifying and called the king of land warfare is undoubtedly because of its powerful impact and flexible mobility. One of the secrets of cavalry victory is to use the force of impact to tear apart the formation of the place, disrupt the opponent's deployment, and use flexibility to find the weak points of the place.
On the contrary, if you want to ride on foot, you must first limit the impact and mobility of the cavalry.
It's a one-sentence thing, but it's hard to do.
The weakness of the cavalry is there, as long as you understand it a little, you can know it, but there are very few who really do it with foot. This is also the main reason why cavalry has been able to dominate the world for thousands of years and dominate the cold weapon period.
However, the Xuanjia Army, which had done its best now, did not break the Mo Dao Formation, but the Mo Dao Soldiers resisted the cavalry assault to the death.
All this was expected by Luo Tong.
Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji and others, who saw the result, thought about it for a while and immediately understood. At the same time, I was once again amazed by Luo Tong's meticulous layout.
Is the impact of the Xuanjia cavalry terrifying?
Terrible!
Under normal circumstances, the Mo Dao Formation can stop the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army?
Unstoppable!
However, the Mo sword soldiers are interlocking, and the arms cooperate with each other to learn from each other's strengths!
The extremely powerful crossbow arrows had already neutralized the strongest charge of the cavalry, and the chaotic bows and arrows had disrupted the formation of the Xuanjia Army's assault, and the impact of the cavalry, which had only accelerated within sixty paces, could not shake the specially trained Mo Dao Hands.
Is a cavalry without impact an opponent of the Mosaber soldiers?
There is no need to calculate, Qin Huaiyu, who is at the forefront, announces the result with practical actions.
The wooden Mo knife slashed a beautiful arc in the air, and it was pumped down fiercely and with incomparably precision, and the force was incomparably amazing, and the air was whipped with a 'boom' sound.
The Xuanjia Army, who had not yet woken up from the reality of the cavalry's impact being broken, bumped into a piece by itself, and the unlucky children who rushed to the front suffered this "strange knife" so hard that they didn't even have time to scream. He fell to the ground in response.
Thousands of people, one person and one stick, one stick to bring down a Xuanjia army, there is no sense of disobedience!
This scene is equally shocking!
God, is this still a former colleague?
Is this still an incomparably powerful Xuanjia Army?
All the people watching the battle involuntarily wiped their eyes.
How can it be? When did the Xuanjia Army become so reckless? In the daily all-out confrontation, they have never had such a one-hit knockdown situation between each other?
What the hell is going on?
……
"What a power!"
"One person picked up a stick and put down a lieutenant-level soldier, this kind of efficiency is simply unheard of!"
The jaws of the generals of the civil servants were no longer closed. I felt enough shock today, I never thought that there would be such a surprise in the future.
"That's not right!" At this time, Li Jing's eyes suddenly lit up. Pointing to the Mo knife hand who was still attacking with a stick, he said, "Where did you see them hitting the other soldier's soldiers with sticks?" ”
"In front of the pinna, on both sides of the forehead, this is the death hole!" Qin Qiong's eyes were very sharp, and her eyes narrowed, almost blurting out.
In front of the auricle, on both sides of the forehead. This is the location of the temple, it seems that the death point in Yu Chigong's mouth is the temple!
"It's really there!" Wei Chi Jingde glanced at the battlefield below. Suddenly, he said, "This ...... They're too daring, aren't they? Once this place hits, it is light to faint. Death is the worst case. It's hard to grasp, and it's ...... How can they be sure they can get there? ”
"I know why!" Just when the civil and military voices of the Manchu Dynasty were disagreeing, a crisp and pleasant female voice suddenly appeared.
The crowd greeted the voice. But I saw Princess Changle blushing and said: "Sister Yaochi said that Brother Luo Tong drew a lot of meridian acupuncture points and hung them in the barracks, and circled the places that were easy to kill with a red pen, so that the soldiers had to look at them every day." Everyone is required to remember where is the best place to attack, where to hit it without death, and where to kill if it hits! ”
Du Ruhui suddenly said: "Luo Zhonglang's medical skills are extremely exquisite, and he is naturally familiar with the meridian acupoints of the human body."
There are more black lines in everyone's heads!
Nima, let one by one the veteran ruffians, the old and rough go to see the acupuncture points, who would have thought of this?
However, this also opened the minds of the generals, and they were all thinking about getting a few meridian acupuncture point maps afterwards, so that the soldiers could look at them every day like Luo Tong.
