Chapter 212: Battle of Obifang City [2]

"I can't hold my breath!" Li Cunhuan glanced at the Goguryeo soldiers behind him and sneered in a low voice.

"Warriors!" Li Cunhuan suddenly raised his arms and shouted, and everyone stopped cheering and looked at him in almost silence. "Defeat them! Don't hesitate, don't be afraid! We are the soldiers of Datang! We are the bravest people in Datang! We are the strongest! Defeat them! You can defeat them! Wansheng! Wansheng! ……”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ......" The heaven-shattering shouts came and went, and the soldiers shook their spears excitedly, struck their shields with their weapons, or raised their weapons high, and let out a roar full of war.

"Gentlemen! Ben will beat the drums for you! Spectacular! Datang is proud of you! Ben is also proud to be able to fight with you! Come on! Let those Goguryeo soil buns see the majesty of the Tang Dynasty warriors! Li Cunhuan said loudly, and under Li Cunhuan's signal, Sha Juanke also brought all the guards to repeat Li Cunhuan's words just now.

The hearts of the whole army were greatly shaken, and the soldiers roared excitedly, excitedly striking everything they could make a sound of, and with one sound of victory, forming an indestructible will.

"Send someone to the battlefield to convey what I just said!" Li Cunhuan whispered to Sha Yuke.

"Yes!" Sha Eucalyptus hurriedly replied.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The drums sounded, Li Cunhuan** upper body, standing on the built six-zhang high platform, the soldiers on the battlefield kept turning their heads and looking at Li Cunhuan.

They felt their blood boiling, the general was watching them, and the general was personally beating the drums for them. The soldier felt supreme honor, although there were more Goguryeo soldiers on the other side than them, the soldier was no longer afraid, and the soldier felt that every part of his body was full of strength, and the weapon in his hand was more firm than ever.

"Get the spearmen on! And what about archers? Hurry up and support the front," the Goguryeo soldiers were also frightened when they saw the thorn-like spear forest, and the officers kept directing the spearmen to press up.

"Don't be afraid! Be brave and face it! The Great General is watching us from behind! Be calm, as if you usually practice, and just stab out! Remember, be calm! Gao Siji held the Tang knife at his waist, raised his arm high, and loudly encouraged the soldiers.

"Whoosh!" A long arrow streaked through the air in a long parabola, "Poof! It plunged into the wet and soft earth, and about one-fifth of it sank into the ground.

There was a twitch from the charging Goguryeo soldiers, knowing that it was an enemy test shot, and estimated the range of the bow and arrow in the current environment. This phenomenon is a normal thing on the battlefield, but the arrow fell from the position where they shot it, it was about 200 paces! In modern size, it is three hundred and seven meters, which is simply a palpitating range.

Although the place where the archers stood was on a high slope and the wind direction was southwest (downwind) today, the terrain of the Goguryeo soldiers was generally slightly lower than that of the opposing side. But this could not change the shock that such a long range brought to the Goguryeo soldiers.

The Korean Peninsula is mountainous and forested, with plateaus and mountains accounting for 80 percent of the Korean Peninsula. In such a situation, whether professional or amateur, many poor people will choose to hunt to subsidize their families. Even if you haven't used a hunting bow, you've seen a hunting bow, and to paraphrase an old saying, if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?

The range of a good hunting bow is only about fifty paces, that is, seventy-six or seven meters. And the crossbow in the army is only a range of one hundred and twenty paces, and it is already a two-stone crossbow. What is the degree of Ershi? It takes nearly a minute for a strong man to stir the wheel to load a crossbow bolt.

However, although the Goguryeo soldiers are afraid, the bright swords of the overseer team will not reason with you. This time it was no longer the spearmen who were ahead, but the sword and shield men, nervous sword and shield men ready to raise their shields and meet the arrows fired from above.

"Don't think longbowmen are so simple! Wait until they're a hundred and fifty paces before shooting! Zhou Dewei showed a cold glint in his eyes, and commanded the herald beside him.

"Yes!" The herald hurriedly answered, and immediately turned on his horse and went to the longbowmen's position to give orders.

After that arrow, it was already thirty paces, that is, a distance of nearly fifty meters, and it had not yet received a trace of long-range blows. The Goguryeo soldiers marched forward in disbelief.

Although 200 steps is far, it does not mean that no one can shoot to this extent, and some marksmen can even shoot up to 300 steps. Of course, this requires a good bow, and these good bows often not only require rare materials, but often take five or six years, or even longer, to make.

"Let the crossbowmen come on!" The bow descendant raised his eyebrows and instructed the flag officer beside him.

"Yes!" The flag officer told Ying Dao, and immediately waved the flag to convey the order of the bow descendants.

A team of crossbowmen wearing simple bamboo frames and rattan armor came out of the ranks, and the biggest feature of crossbowmen is that they cannot be thrown, in fact, they cannot be said to be unable to throw, but the angle of projectile is relatively small, and they can even be projectile at an angle of 80 degrees.

The staggered ranks were slightly chaotic, and Zhou Dewei smiled, he knew what the commander of the longbowmen would do. The guy who is said to be Hou Yi wants his command skills to be as good as his ancestors' archery.

"Put!" Hou Wuji waved his long knife, and his resolute face was full of indomitable determination.

Countless arrows rose in the air at this time, and when they reached a high point, they began to slowly fall, and the morning sun shone the smooth arrows like shining stars, and these stars began to bloom their most beautiful sound, like cherry blossoms, and fade away at the most beautiful time.

"Bloom! A flower of war forged with life and blood! Feng Dao stood on the high platform and muttered softly, he never thought of himself as a person who liked war, but he didn't know why, he was now rendered by war.

"Poof! Burst! ……”

"Ahh Yes! ……”

The sound of the arrow not entering the **, the sound of the soldier's screams resounded in the sky of the battlefield, and the blood flowers made of life and blood bloomed in the air in an instant, and fell in another moment.

"Damn!" The bow descendant clenched his fist angrily, and the skin exposed to the air burst into hideous green tendons, and the joints of the fists were even whiter, making people afraid that the finger would be dislocated in the next moment.
