The camp fence fell over in pieces, and finally only an unguarded gate stood alone in the dust mist, and the yellow dust of three or four long heights surged, completely obscuring everything in front of him, and at this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world seemed to fall into silence.

In the large formation, which covers an area of 100 paces, the soldiers are watching everything in front of them, and some veterans have realized that danger is coming. Especially in the front row, the danger factor is quite high, and it is often fought down, and it is not dead or disabled.

Under the leadership of the Chinese army, Zhang Yue is calm and calm, he has experienced more dangerous battlefields than this, and now he is the commander, holding the life and death of the whole army, and he himself is the safest. The dust and fog had not yet cleared, and the enemy horse team had not started hastily, because they also had to see the truth clearly.

"Crossbowmen ready!" Zhang Yue shouted and gave the order first, if he waited for the enemy horse to run, the interference was too loud, and he could only rely on the heralds, and the efficiency would be much slower. With this roar, the six rows of mobile crossbowmen on both sides of the large array raised their arrow-wound crossbows and aimed diagonally in front of him.

The wooden single crossbow is relatively lightweight, weighing about twenty or thirty catties, and the whole process of single-arrow winding shooting can be completed by a single soldier independently; But the horned bow and crossbow are forty or fifty pounds, the bow arm is nearly three feet long, and there is a wooden bracket fixed to the ground in front of the bottom, and the upper string can also be a single soldier, but the soldier must lie on his back, pull the string with his hand and use the foot to support, and the auxiliary soldiers need to put in two crossbow arrows. Both types of crossbowmen require an auxiliary to carry arrows and assist with winding.

In the Tang Dynasty, these crossbows were widely used in the army, but by the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties had been rare, the range of more than 300 steps of the Fuyuan crossbow, plus a variety of large, medium and small trebuchets, these types of heavy industry have completely withdrawn from the battlefield, the quality of officers declined, the soldiers were filled with a large number of rogue soldiers, the whole society was destroyed, and civilization completely regressed.

After the Liao State Yelude destroyed the Jin Dynasty and broke Tokyo, the Bianliang was washed, and the horn bow and crossbow and the wooden single crossbow were almost extinct, and now these are still samples brought out by Liu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty, from Taiyuan, and the forbidden army is equipped with very few.

Zhang Yue can equip a hundred strong crossbows, or because of Guo Rong's face. As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers reacted, and the whining horns sounded outside the camp, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves followed, shaking the dust and fog to intensify.

Eighty or ninety steps away, the vision was still a little blurry, and on both sides of the gate, more than a thousand Qiang riders rolled up the dust and mist, breaking into the camp like a whirlwind, avoiding the front and hitting the sides.

"Turn!" The Qiang cavalry is really cunning, and he does not rush to the front and hits the side, and the general who leads the troops is not a mediocre hand. Li Chuyun's heart tightened, and he immediately gave the order, and his eyes widened and tried his best to catch the distance of the enemy horseman's approach. In the middle of the gods, the enemy cavalry approached another twenty paces, and they had already opened their arrows.

"Put!" Li Chuyun reacted very quickly and shouted the order.

Woohoo...... The arrows were like flying locusts, and the air was dark, and the two sides released their arrows almost at the same time. But the Qiang soldiers are cavalry shooting, the accuracy is very limited, there are very few arrows in the crossbows, but the crossbow arrows shot are very dense, giving the Qiang cavalry who rushed over as a stick, the triangular pointed position of the arrow array, instantly all the tents, people on their backs turned over, completely chaotic.

"Crossbowman winds up! The front row strong archers shoot freely! Li Chuyun once again ordered that the archers were wound by the crossbowmen at the right time, and the rate of fire was much faster, at a distance of fifty or sixty paces, and the shooting accuracy and lethality were also quite high. If you get closer, you can even use a heavy arrow with a barbed wolf's tooth piercing armor, this kind of arrow, the arrow is heavy and large, and the middle one is killed instantly.

Although there was chaos in front of the Qiang cavalry, the horses in the rear did not stop, swarming in, trampling all the horses and soldiers who had fallen to the ground into flesh and mud, and continued to move forward like thunder, splashing blood and water everywhere.

The strong archers of the Zhou army specially beckoned the enemy cavalry who rushed to the front, otherwise even if the enemy army only rushed over and rode over, it would completely disrupt their own formation, and the crossbowmen had a strong long-range strike, and the melee combat was simply at the mercy of the cavalry, unless the martial arts were outstanding, it would be difficult to react.

Compared with the last time, Li Chuyun has calmed down a lot, he actually looked at the right front for a long time, the formation over there is similar, the enemy cavalry and the main formation are also forty or fifty steps apart, but the enemy cavalry is also continuous, and there are casualties on his own side.

At this time, there is a race against time, the crossbowman still has half of the winding not completed, Li Chuyun can't wait, shouted again, and another wave of strong crossbows shoots out, so close range, it has caused a heavier blow to the enemy horse, many Qiang riders and horses are shot through by strong crossbows, some only shoot people, and even a arrow through three people, Pengpeng blood splashes, the scene is chaotic.

The Zhou army's round formation stood still, the archers fired freely, the crossbowmen loaded nervously, and although the two rounds of arrow rain injured nearly half of the enemy, a small number of enemy cavalry still rushed closer.

Li Chuyun became nervous, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and didn't care whether the crossbowmen were successfully reloaded, he kept shouting orders to release the arrows, and the crossbowmen were also nervous.

Fortunately, at this time, the formation of the enemy cavalry had become much thinner, and the scattered horsemen were shouting loudly from the bottom of the house, rushing over like headless flies, and were quickly shot over by the archers. After a moment's delay, the enemy cavalry at the back noticed the anomaly, slowed down, and turned away from the queue, turned around and ran to the far gate, and began to form a team in a disorderly manner.

Li Chuyun was surprised for a while, the rear team of Qiang soldiers had good riding skills, and they reacted quickly, but they were useless, eighty or ninety steps away were still within the range of the crossbowman, and after waiting for a while, the last wave of blows was finally harvested.

In front of the large array, rivers of blood flowed, all kinds of limbs were scattered horizontally, it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or a horse, and occasionally one or two were still able to move, rolling and wailing and struggling, all the soldiers watched blankly, but no one paid attention, and the battlefield fell into a deathly silence again.

From the time the horn sounded and the horse team started, to this time it was only a pillar of incense, and the two thousand elite horsemen were gone like this, and the noisy shouts and killings were very shocking, but the scene was so miserable that people did not dare to face it.

Dang Jinwu's mouth opened wide, almost unable to believe this fact. Everything was quiet, the line of sight in front was finally clear, the Zhou army was in a tight formation, the rows of shield walls were spear heads reflecting the morning light, and there were dense iron helmets between the gaps, which was simply a big hedgehog with a crumbling back and preparing to attack.

It seems that this is not the most terrifying, there are three long rows of dense crossbowmen on the left and right in front, which makes it difficult to surpass Lei Chi, and the Zhou army in front of him seems to be untouchable. As the head of a clan, Dang Jinwu has a knowledge and a temperament that is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, although he has relatives, but he is not afraid, but his mind is completely confused, and he wants to think of countermeasures but has nothing to gain.

was stunned, not knowing what to do, he saw Tuoba Dagu with an angry and unwilling face, trotted over, and shouted: "The fence of the Zhou military camp has been broken, and there is nothing to cover on all sides, the party patriarch!" Why don't you transfer another 2,000 cavalry to contain the Zhou army's crossbowmen, and I will lead my headquarters with 2,000 cavalry to attack its large array from the northeast, and whoever breaks the breach will break in from which side.
