Chapter 441: The War Begins (13)
"Brothers, follow the plan, prepare!" Gao Kan said.
Gao Kan's cavalry began to follow the previous training plan, and then picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, ready to turn back and shoot arrows behind him at any time. This time the enemy has already taken the bait, so it can be easy to destroy them. As for the next, that's when they make their first contributions.
"Turkic soldiers, follow me!" Obsessiveness shouted.
Gao Kan saw that the enemy was charging forward, and had already taken a big step closer, and then shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
Soon a group of Turks fell off their horses and were trampled to death. The cavalry of this era was very miserable, once shot off the horse by the enemy, even if it was not shot on the spot, it would be trampled to death by the comrades behind with their horses. Therefore, these fallen Turks can also be used as a calculation of war merits to destroy the enemy, and they are all trampled to death by war horses.
"Well, the first round of shooting killed more than seventy!" Gao Kan felt very happy.
The first round of shooting killed more than 70 enemies, which was almost one-tenth of the enemy's. If a cavalryman has the power to shoot twenty arrows, he can shoot twenty rounds. If it was seventy at a time, it would be enough to be able to annihilate more than 1,400 enemies.
However, this is only theoretical data, and it depends on the specific analysis, because the enemy is not a fool, and may leave as soon as the situation is not good.
The Turkic pursuers were also suspended because of this archery. In particular, they rushed in the direction of the arrows, which was even more lethal to them. This is the viciousness of this Mangu tactic, which allows the enemy to rush towards the arrows, and it is difficult for the enemy to shoot arrows with much power. Because your side is your family, and the arrows are flying. In this way, it can be said that the enemy receives the least power, and the enemy receives the most power.
"Bastards, these Han people actually dare to shoot arrows at us, chase me!" Obsessiveness shouted.
Soon the Turkic cavalry, which had slowed down, charged again, and then Gao Kan looked back and knew that his opportunity had come again.
"Brothers, shoot me!" Gao Kan shouted.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
The arrow was shot again. Immediately, another group of the Turks fell from their horses and died. This time, the losses of the Turks were about one-seventh, and the losses of the Turks in such a battle increased rapidly, while the cavalry under Gao Kan almost did not lose a single one.
"Next time we'll put some in and play again. Maybe it works better that way! Gao Kan said.
Gao Kan couldn't help but hope to save the soldier's physical strength, and then let the soldier recover more physical strength. In this era of cold weapons, it is not the number of bows and arrows that limits the archers' ability to shoot arrows, but the problem of physical strength. The archers of this era did not resemble the carniers of the later period. It takes a lot of effort for a cavalry archer to draw a bow. Probably every regular archer could only shoot twenty arrows, so they had to rest for a while. If it were those guns in later generations, then Chen Fei could guarantee that he would be invincible in the world, because guns didn't require much physical strength. The weight of the bow and arrow was not too heavy for a cavalryman, but physical strength was the reason for their constraints.
Now Gao Kan felt that these hit rates were still a little lower, so he wanted to put some Turks in and shoot again, so that he could be more lethal and not waste his physical strength. As long as you can use less stamina to get the most out of it, this is the best choice.
"We're about to catch up with them. Give me chase! Persistence said.
He felt as if he was about to catch up, so he asked the Turkic cavalry to catch up as soon as possible. In this way, the cavalry of the Han Chinese can be killed. But he didn't know that in fact, it was this feeling of deliberately leaving them hope that was the most fatal. It seems that as long as you work harder, you can catch up, so that the chasing party will not give up the idea of chasing and killing, and in the end you can only be dragged to death more and more.
"Shoot the arrows!" Gao Kan shouted.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
Hundreds of arrows were quickly fired again, and the Turks suffered heavy losses this time.
"Haha, more than 100 people fell off the horse at a time, but it really made a lot of money." Gao Kan thought to himself.
In these three rounds of archery, nearly two hundred and fifty Turks have dropped their horses, either shot to death or trampled to death. The Turks had already lost a quarter, but the Turks did not notice this, and they were still trying to catch up with Gao Kan and then eliminate the Han cavalry of Gao Kan. They didn't even realize that the I-frame had already been hit, so they all continued to chase and kill.
"Shoot the arrows!" Gao Kan continued.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
In the next few rounds, Gao Kan had already fired ten arrows, and three thousand arrows had been set, and the Turks had lost at least five hundred men. However, this stubborn thinker did not realize that he was more than halfway through the casualties, because he was so provoked by Gao Kan that he had no temper. The stubbornness has been ruthless, and if you want to catch up with Gao Kan, and then slaughter Gao Kan. And this kind of everyone is constantly charging, not realizing how much their side has lost. When you devote yourself to the process of chasing and killing with all your might, it is very difficult to notice how many people have been killed and injured on your side.
"Soldiers, there are fewer and fewer Turks, let's work harder and destroy them all!" Gao Kan shouted.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
Wave after wave of arrows were fired, and once again a group of Turks fell to the ground. They had been almost exhausted by the Gokan, because this Mangu tactic was also a method of restraining the enemy's cavalry.
"General, our war horse strength is insufficient!" One of the horsemen said.
Only then did he notice that his war horse had gone through such a long pursuit, and it was obviously insufficient in strength. And the Turkic horses of the Turks have even worse endurance than the Mongolian horses, so these Turkic horses are already a little unbearable.
"Oh no, we've been tricked!" Looking at the soldiers around him, the number of soldiers had plummeted by half, so of course he knew that he had been tricked.
"Retreat, let's not continue the pursuit!" Obsessiveness shouted.
Since he knew that he had been tricked, he naturally would not continue to chase and kill, so he immediately turned his horse's head and wanted to retreat.
"Want to run? Is it that easy? You are my exploits! Gao Kan snorted.
Gao Kan already had a backhand, and since the enemy wanted to run away, he naturally had to chase them down in turn. (To be continued......)
