During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong proposed to prohibit the people from holding bows and crossbows, on the grounds that many thieves used bows and crossbows to resist the pursuit of officials. Due to the power of the bow and crossbow, officials were often prevented from approaching.

Originally, this was a good starting point, but this proposal was opposed by Dr. Guanglu and King Wuqiu Shou. The reason for his objection was that if the possession of the bow and crossbow were forbidden, the thieves would still be able to obtain the bow and crossbow by illegal means, and the good people would lose the weapon, thus greatly reducing the ability to defend themselves against the thieves. In the end, Emperor Wu questioned Gongsun Hong with this, and Gongsun Hong took it out, and the opinion of King Wuqiu Shou was adopted, and the people could still have bows and crossbows.

Of course, despite this, the Han Dynasty also had restrictions on folk bows and crossbows, and it was okay to keep the bows and crossbows of one or two stones as their own guards to hunt, but it was strictly forbidden for the people to prepare military crossbows of more than five stones, similar to the pouting crossbow, rhubarb crossbow, bed crossbow and other big killing weapons. After all, once someone wants to revolt, they have this kind of military crossbow, and they can directly abuse the official elite troops.

Because the cost of crossbows is expensive, the Han Dynasty folk mostly save bows, almost every family has them, but the durability and range are poor, after all, most of them are self-made, and it is enough for general self-defense or hunting, but if it is used on the battlefield, it is obviously insufficient.

In other words, it is the surprise of military bows and crossbows and civilian bows and crossbows, in ancient times, limited by the difference in technology, civilian bows and crossbows are obviously inferior to the military bows and crossbows made by the official assembly line of the Han Dynasty inherited from the Qin Dynasty. This is also the reason why the rebels now only have a few hundred crossbowmen, not that they don't have so many crossbows, but the homemade crossbows and crossbows used in the original uprising are too damaged, and most of the remaining captured crossbows of the officers and soldiers.

"Poof! Burst! Poof......"

Li Gouzi's steps froze, and a pool of blood suddenly splashed on his face, some of which directly submerged his eyeballs. Looking ahead, this time it was no longer the strong crossbow of the Han army in the soldiers beside him, it was in front of him, only to see that the soldiers in front of him had several more blood holes in their chests, and the sharp crossbow arrows exposed blood-stained blades in the holes on the body, and in front of the soldiers, the crossbow arrows pierced the two people in front, and then strung the two people behind together.

If the crossbow bolt was long enough, it would have been possible to shoot the four disheveled rebel soldiers into a string of people, and Li Gouzi was very lucky, the crossbow bolt would have no more power to shoot through the pawns in front of him, otherwise he would have to have a few more holes in his chest.

At this moment, Li Gouzi's heart once again ignited fear, he wanted to retreat, but the instinct to fight, and after the baptism of many ant-attached crowd tactics, he knew that if he was afraid of death and did not move forward, if he retreated or stopped, he would be pushed by his companions who were also fanatically passing behind.

And once you fall to the ground, the consequences are unpredictable, because there will be countless companions behind who will step on the pressed body and continue to move forward, in this way, maybe Li Gouzi can get away with saving his life, but that kind of probability can only be said to be one in ten thousand, so even if he knows that there is death ahead, Li Gouzi is already going forward.

Not only Li Gouzi, but all the other rebels who saw the death of their comrades also gritted their teeth and advanced, hoping that they would not become the target of the Han army's arrows in the next moment. They were destined to see only what providence was, whether they lived or died, and the rebels who attacked intensively at the foot of this narrow mountain, unless they retreated, most of them would eventually die here, and only a few lucky ones could barely survive.

The rebels are continuing to advance tactically, but the bows and crossbows of the Han army will not stop at all, but have become more and more intense, it is obvious that those who are hidden by Fuquan by their side, just waiting for this moment to exert their might, are constantly venting this hatred, they want to avenge the Ban Yu barbarian clansmen who came out together to make meritorious achievements, and they poured out angry arrows in their hands without dying.

Next to another wooden cart, Ma Hu shouted again, and with a few rebel soldiers who also used big hammers and gathered around him, they collectively shouted and smashed at another group of Han soldiers in front of him who were "rejecting horses".

"Bang! Click......"

The sound of the shield tearing after being hit sounded, and then several undead spearmen appeared behind the Han army, shouting, and in the dust and smoke of the battlefield, they stabbed Ma Hu and the others knowing that they were dead.

"Ahh Look for death! Ma Hu screamed in pain, his right arm was stabbed by a Han soldier, and he shouted in pain, fortunately, because the shield was shattered, countless smoke and dust were raised, otherwise the Han army would have stabbed Ma Hu to death with a spear. However, since Ma Hu is not dead, he naturally will not let the Han army feel too good, because it hurts too much, he naturally can't raise the hammer, but directly pulls out the sword at his waist and throws it at the Han soldiers who are trying to pull out the spear at the moment, ready to split again.

With a "poof", the blood gushed out from the neck of the Han soldier, and he was directly stabbed through the blood vessels of the neck by the long sword thrown by Ma Hu, and it seemed that he could not survive, and the other soldiers around the soldier were also killed by the swarming rebels.

It's just that before Ma Hu was happy because of the death of the Han soldier who injured him, countless arrows suddenly came from the air and attacked them intensively, "Huh! Shout! The ...... shrouded the place he was in an instant. Before long, when the arrows stopped, the area instantly became a vacuum, and even the rebel soldiers with Mahu were shot into hedgehogs, and they all fell to the ground at this moment, and they couldn't survive.

"Qu Shuai is dead!"

"Qu Shuai is dead! Run! ”

"Run for your life! The Han army's bow and crossbow are too strong! ”

……

In the face of death, people will be afraid, and the rebels have always relied on Mahu's strict management of the army and his leading soldiers. Now, the backbone of the army was pierced by ten thousand arrows in front of them and died, the bows and crossbows of the Han army were too violent, and the rebels, who were already overwhelmed, collapsed from front to back with the shout of "Qu Shuai is dead" in an instant.

A rebel soldier passing by Li Gouzi didn't want to fight here for a long time, and at this moment, with the shouts in front of him, a man said, "Qu Shuai is dead", and then turned around and fled from this terrible nightmare place, really didn't want to suffer from the Han army's bow and crossbow.

This is not a matter of one or two rebels, but the collapse of the whole army, only to see that the rebels first dozens of people, then hundreds, and then thousands of people, shouting and retreating, including Li Gouzi. He is not a diehard loyalist of the rebels who still insist, it is true that he wants to overthrow the tyrants, but it does not mean that he will die for this, after all, his original idea of joining the Han army was just to be able to survive in a new paradise belonging to ordinary people.

A better life will always be the longing of most of the rebellious people who have been coerced......
