The eight thousand cavalrymen were all nervous, and they knew that they would rush out of the city gate in a moment. There were 170,000 steppe cavalry outside, and they only had 8,000. Isn't this sending to death?

At this time, there were people who ran away, but now after all, they had not rushed out, and they were still able to suppress their fear in their hearts and reluctantly stood in place.

At the city walls.

Luo Xin looked at the more and more arrogant grassland coalition army, and those grassland alliance forces were even more arrogant because they didn't fight back at all when they saw the Ming soldiers, and they were closer to the city wall, and the people were more dense. They couldn't see the Ming soldiers inside the city wall at all, except for the first row, they were already hiding at this time, and they thought that the Ming soldiers were watching them, and they were frightened by the collective silence, so they were even more excited in their hearts, shouting hard, and completely defenseless against the Ming.

"Shoot your crossbows!" Luo Xin shouted coldly.

The ballista had already been ready for a long time, and with the dense steppe cavalry below, the ballista didn't need to aim at all, as long as the strength was enough, and there was no miss.

Will the power of the ballista not be enough?

"Bang ......"

Luo Xin gave an order, and the soldier smashed the bolt with a hammer, and a hundred crossbow arrows **** out.

"Bang ......"

A series of crossbow arrows hit the steppe cavalry, and the thick crossbow arrows flew the cavalry off their horses and flew through the air. There were also crossbow arrows that pierced the body of the steppe cavalry and continued to shoot into the body of another cavalryman.

One hundred crossbow arrows caused nearly one hundred and fifty casualties, causing the shouts of the grassland coalition army to be sluggish, and the morale of the Ming soldiers on the city wall was boosted, not only a burst of cheers.

Those crossbow soldiers, without the command of the superior, immediately installed the crossbow bolts again. It's just that the installation of the ballista is more troublesome, and it cannot be installed in a short time, which makes the attack of the ballista have a long break. It was during this interval that Luo Xin saw those steppe coalition forces rushing back and forth outside the land of a stone's throw again.

Admiral Zhang's face turned a little pale and said, "They are going to perform the art of riding and archery." ”

Luo Xin said lightly: "It's just to destroy the morale of our army through their riding and archery skills, so that the soldiers don't stand and squat under the base of the wall." ”

The order was quickly conveyed, and the remaining Ming soldiers who were standing in the first row also squatted down at this time, squatting next to the wall, and only Luo Xin and other generals were still standing there.

Luo Xin's gaze passed over the steppe cavalry that was rushing like a river, and looked at the flags behind him.

There were immediately standing the patriarchs of the various tribes of the grassland, and Huang Taiji was surrounded in the middle.

When they saw that the Ming soldiers in the capital had been silent, they thought that the Ming soldiers were frightened, and laughed loudly for a while, shouting that the Ming people were timid, and some people said that the Ming soldiers were probably scared to pee their pants at this time.

But when the crossbow arrows above the capital were shot down, the expressions of these tribal chiefs who were ridiculing the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but stagnate, Huang Taiji rode on a horse, his majestic body, a calm look, his eyes swept over the patriarchs of the tribes, and said slowly:

"I watched it just now, and there are only about 100 ballistas in the Ming Dynasty, which is not a threat to us. If you are afraid, leave the attack on the capital to me, but the treasures in the capital belong to me. ”

When the tribal patriarchs heard this, their hearts jumped.

Huang Taiji finally couldn't help jumping out and wanted to snatch the supplies of the Ming capital.

Don't!

One by one, the tribal patriarchs immediately spoke: "A hundred ballistas are not in our eyes at all!" ”

"Huang Taiji, I won't bother you about this attack on the capital, you still have to press the battle for us in the rear. Don't worry, we'll give you some treasures when the time comes. ”

“…………”

Huang Taiji's face immediately turned red, as if his thoughts were shattered, which made the patriarchs of various tribes even more proud in their hearts, and they laughed and played with Huang Taiji one by one. Huang Taiji's face was faintly angry, but his heart was full of joy. Secretly said in my heart:

"You idiots, are you really so easy to attack when the capital is made? I'm just waiting to collect your body. When the time comes, your tribe will become my tribe, and the materials you rob will also become my materials, hehehe......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Luo Xin, who was on the city wall, heard the sound of the bull's horn, and there was a solemn killing in the sound. Luo Xin's gaze shrank suddenly, and he immediately shouted:

"Squat!"

At the same time, as soon as his body was short, he squatted under the base of the wall, and the generals who were still standing with Luo Xin just now also reacted very quickly, and quickly squatted under the base of the wall one by one, but in an instant, there was no one on the city wall, and it was empty.

At the same time, with the sound of the horn, hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry rushed back and forth a stone's throw away from the city wall, and at the same time, each cavalryman took out a strong bow in his hand and stretched out his bow and arrows.

The steppe people are a nomadic people, every man at a young age, he learns to make bows and arrows, and then makes his own bow for himself, these bows are all strong bows, even the weakest bows have the power of two stones, most of them are three-stone strong bows. Everyone is a master of arrows.

"Buzz ......"

Luo Xin, who was squatting with his back to the city wall, heard a buzzing in his ears, like the sound of hundreds of thousands of leeches flying in the air. Then he saw a scene that he would never forget.

Although Luo Xin had read about this kind of scene in history and had fought with the steppe cavalry, he had never defended the city, and he had never seen this scene of nearly 170,000 people shooting arrows together.

Dense arrows shot towards the sky above the capital, covering the sky and the sun......

Luo Xin looked up, and the arrows in the sky were like a rapidly moving black cloud, originally at noon, and the sun was hanging high. But at this moment, the capital seemed to enter the night in an instant......

This scene is really shocking! Even Luo Xin couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, he actually felt a kind of beauty, a beauty of strength from the arrows that covered the sky.

"Whoosh ......"

The arrows that had reached the apex began to fall below the city, and in Luo Xin's field of vision, it was like a rain of arrows.

"Crackling ......"

A dense rain of arrows fell on the city walls, on the ground, and on the soldiers' shields, like rain hitting plantains, dense and loud......

At this time, the generals saw that there was no casualty in their field of vision, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at Luo Xin with admiration, but saw that Luo Xin was looking up at the rain of arrows in the sky, and there was a look of obsession in his eyes.

"Beautiful!"

Luo Xin blurted out, this "beautiful" made the generals cry and laugh, but in their hearts, they admired Luo Xin even more. At least they don't have this kind of leisure in their hearts.
