Chapter 422: Rain of Arrows
From time to time, cavalry was shot at arrows on the battlefield, but there were not many of them, and these warriors who returned from the expedition in distant Europe had experience in dodging bows and arrows. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although many crossbow arrows still hit the horses, unless they hit the vital point, the wounded horses were even more resentful and rushed over under the skillful control of the cavalry.
"Raise your shield." Lin Hongsheng shouted loudly, the speed of the cavalry was very fast, outside of his accident, and the cavalry had a lot of experience, the round of crossbow arrows just now did not hurt them much, but made the cavalry a lot closer.
"Second row of crossbow bolts, ready." With the tricolor constantly waving: "Put." ”
"Be careful, sir." While speaking, the guards hurriedly surrounded Lin Hongsheng, only to hear the sound of the shield "kicking", the Mongolian cavalry under the rain of arrows of the Song army, they could actually counterattack, the speed of the Mongols archery was very fast, and when Lin Hongsheng reacted, the Mongols' bows and arrows had been shot twice.
"Three rows of rounds." Lin Hongsheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted loudly, but he saw that he didn't move under the windbreaker, and looked carefully, and then the guards who gave the order had been shot into hedgehogs by the Mongols.
Lin Hongsheng pushed away the guards around him and went straight to the windproof lamp, the guards were in a hurry, wasn't it the target of the Mongols under the windproof.
"Let me go." Lin Hong shouted loudly, and wanted to open the guard's stubbornly held hand.
"My lord, the brothers are not dead yet, and it is not the turn of the adults to go into battle." It was Lin Hongsheng's chief guard, Lin Hu, who spoke, and shouted loudly: "Protect your lordship." ”
After speaking, three steps and two steps came to the windbreaker, picked up the tricolor flag and shook it again and again.
The Mongols' bows and arrows were very powerful, and Lin Hongsheng didn't have much experience, so he saw the bows and arrows flying in the air in an arc, and then shot at the crossbow archers behind the shields.
Where have the crossbow archers ever seen such a situation, and many of them have even slowed down to load their arrows.
At this time, the black-clothed team behind the crossbowmen shouted in unison: "Those who retreat from the battle, kill, those who are cowardly, kill, those who abandon their weapons and surrender, kill." ”
"Three Kills." The men in black kept their promise with their lives, and they, like the other soldiers, died at the front.
Bayin was slightly surprised, and even a little angry, first the tiger squat cannon disrupted the formation of his cavalry, and also caused a lot of casualties, although it was quickly reorganized, but after all, it slowed down a lot, and then the appearance of the stumbling horse pit, which made some of the war horses die tragically, you must know that the tribes on the grassland are fighting, and they will not use this cruel method unless they have a deep hatred.
The crossbow arrows of the Song army are the best defense, although the crossbow arrows of the Song army are very powerful, and the crossbow arrows are also very sharp, but the warriors of the Mongol Empire are excellent equestrians, and they spend more time on horseback than on the ground, and they have already hid on horseback when they see crossbow arrows coming, and they even have time to put on their bows and arrows.
Although the range of crossbow arrows is much longer than that of bows and arrows, the speed of loading arrows is much slower, and the experience of the past is that it only takes one round of crossbow arrows for a swift cavalry to reach the range of a bow and arrow.
This time was no exception, before the second round of crossbow arrows was fired, the cavalry had already entered the firing range, Bayin stepped on the stirrups with both feet, clamped the horse's belly hard, put the bow and arrows with both hands as if by magic, and shouted: "Release." ”
The bow and arrow was the signal, and with Bayin's bow and arrow, the Mongols reacted much faster than expected, and flew towards the Song army with great strength.
Bayin could even feel the bow and arrow passing through the flag-bearing soldier under the windbreak, and he was satisfied with his archery skills, believing that Jebe, the best marksman in Mongolia, was also under him.
Changshengtian is the god who takes care of the Mongols, he has given the Mongols a flat steppe, a strong body, a good archery, and a fine horsemanship.
These are all tools of the Mongols, the tools of shepherding, but when the prey becomes a two-legged Han Chinese, it is still effective.
Bayin could even imagine the fear of the Song army, it only took a few rounds of bows and arrows to disrupt their neatly lined formation, and Bayin couldn't understand why the Song army had put so much effort into listing those meaningless formations, just like distant Europe, they were the same.
The infantry in formation is the target of the cavalry.
It is said that when the Song army went on an expedition, their privy envoy of the military department would also set a formation for them, and even if they arrived on the battlefield, they could not modify it, which was simply laughing to death.
All Bayin needed was to disrupt their crossbowmen, knock down their horses, and charge in.
"Damn it." However, as soon as Bayin had finished firing the second round of bows and arrows, the flag under the windproof lamp waved tenaciously again, and with the wave of the flag, the crossbow arrows flew like rain.
"Why is the speed of the Song Army's crossbow arrows so fast?" In the past, the Song army all quickly shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, and then ran away, but how could a two-legged sheep outrun a four-legged wolf?
Bayin was shocked, but his rich experience saved his life at the first time, only to see him unhurriedly clamp the horse's belly with his feet, his body rolled backwards, and the crossbow arrow flew dangerously over Bayin's head.
But the war horse under the seat "neighed" and shouted, and then a crossbow arrow hit the thigh of the war horse, and the injured war horse was a little irritable, and Bayin's body twisted half a circle on the horse's back like magic, and then bent down to appease the war horse.
However, the bad luck has not stopped, I saw that this round of crossbow arrows has just been shot, and the second round of crossbow arrows has come up one after another, many warriors of the Mongol Empire have been accustomed to the rhythm of the Song army, and just raised their bodies to prepare to fight back, but they did not expect the crossbow arrows of the Song army to come too suddenly and too fast, and many soldiers were inexplicably hit by arrows.
"Eternal Heaven bless." Before Bayin finished praying, the third round of bows and arrows of the Song army came one after another. Seeing that it was less than one hundred and fifty meters away from the horse rejection line, Bayin, who was lying on horseback, suddenly found that there were many boxes piled up not far away, although these boxes were not big, they were very large, enough to become a stumbling line for the cavalry.
The Han people are too cunning. With a constant stream of crossbow arrows overhead, and a stumbling line under his feet, Bayin clamped his feet on the horse's belly, then took out a well-made horn from his leather pouch and blew it loudly.
"Withdraw." Bayin shouted, and retreated to the right with a 45-degree turn, and the guards beside him had been following Bayin for a long time, and when they saw Bayin turn around, they also turned to the right and retreated, and the other soldiers also turned right and retreated after hearing the sound of the horn.
However, there are still a lot of Mongolian cavalry who are bent on bowing their heads and wanting to kill the enemy in exchange for merit, and they are stunned and rush towards the box to make a tripping horse crossing, "bang" a few times, most of them hit the box, the wooden box was broken, but the war horse that was impacted also stopped because of the pain. Naturally, these stopped cavalry were taken care of by the crossbow arrows, and not a single Mongol cavalry made it to the rejection alive.
The cavalry came quickly and retreated quickly, and before Lin Hongsheng came back to his senses, only a mess was left in front of the horse rejection line, occasionally many wounded war horses neighed, and some war horses that had lost their owners were guarding their masters' side and whimpering.
