The copper thorns and copper nails that the Jiuyuan army threw a hundred paces from the phalanx worked.

The war horses under the crotch of the Donghu cavalry, who did not have a horseshoe, as long as they entered the range of a hundred paces, all of them screamed and fell to the ground. The Donghu cavalry on horseback flew out of the horse and fell to the ground.

The Donghu cavalry, which was too close to the followers, lost their front hooves in the face of the sudden horse, and they were not in a hurry, and suddenly crashed into the war horse or the Donghu cavalry that fell to the ground, and rolled into a ball.

The formation of the Donghu cavalry that crushed over was suddenly chaotic! At this time, everyone knew that it was obviously the Qin people who sprinkled something on this land to make so many war horses around them lose their feet!

But they already don't have time to think!

Death, with a sharp whistling sound, fell from the sky.

Exactly the same state, exactly the same result. However, it seems that this time, the salvo of crossbow arrows is on par with the first time!

More than 20,000 crossbow arrows and nearly 50,000 crossbow arrows, the effect of killing and wounding is almost the same, and the Donghu cavalry should actually be grateful to the Jiuyuan army for the copper thorns and other things that were sprinkled on the door a hundred steps away to deal with the hooves of the Donghu people's war horses.

It is precisely because these copper thorns played a role first that more Donghu people escaped.

However, even so, after the blows of the large continuous crossbow machine and the two waves of crossbow arrows and copper thorns, the Donghu cavalry had been sharply reduced from 200,000 to less than 150,000 in less than two quarters of an hour.

Running all the way, in a short distance of 1,800 steps, in less than two quarters of an hour, at least 50,000 warriors of the 200,000 Donghu clan fell!

Even when the Xiongnu army of nearly 200,000 raided the tent of the king of Donghu, it did not cause such a big injury to the Donghu people in such a short time! The reason why the Huns were able to uproot the Donghu king's tent was, in the final analysis, because of the Huns' sneak attack.

If the Xiongnu and Donghu are facing each other brightly, even if Mao Dun can finally destroy Donghu, the Xiongnu will at least have to pay a huge price.

And now, the 200,000 Donghu people have not even touched a single hair of the Qin people, and nearly a quarter of them have been killed or wounded. How can you not let all the Donghu cavalry be frightened? If possible, all the Donghu cavalry did not want to face the stormy blows of the Qin people again.

But, apparently, they could not afford not to face it.

Fortunately, after the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army fired this wave of crossbow arrows, they no longer wasted time on the crossbow arrows. Countless small shields in their hands appeared densely above the heads of the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army.

There are still a maximum of forty paces, and it will be within the range of the strong bow in the hands of the Huns!

The Huns (the Jiuyuan army did not know that the Xiongnu army that went south this time was the Xiongnu and Donghu coalition army) Although they had experienced several waves of blows and suffered heavy losses, they were now twice as many as the soldiers of the Jiuyuan army. And the appearance around the Jiuyuan Army will obviously not be all of the Hun barbarians.

More than 100,000 Hun barbarians, as long as they enter their range, within a short period of sixty steps, they can shoot at least three arrows! Three arrows will far exceed the number of crossbow arrows that the Jiuyuan Army has just poured over the heads of Donghu Barbarians.

That's the real covering.

The Jiuyuan Army had fought countless battles with the Huns, large and small, and was well aware of the methods of warfare of this nomadic people who had long plagued the northern frontier of Great Qin. However, except for the victory of the 300,000 Jiuyuan Army against the 500,000 Hun cavalry under the personal command of the great general Meng Tian more than ten years ago, the Jiuyuan Army rarely used pure foot soldiers against the Hun barbarian cavalry, let alone the Hun cavalry several times its own.

Most of the time, the Hun cavalry used the wolf pack tactics, using the cavalry's good mobility to use guerrillas, and constantly harassing the Daqin border! However, since that earth-shattering battle, in the face of the wolf-like elite scouts of the Jiuyuan Army, the Huns can no longer move south on a large scale, and even if a thousand troops enter the border of Daqin, it is very rare.

When fighting against the Hun cavalry, when exceeding the range of the Huns' strong bows, the Qin army's excellent ordnance had an innate advantage. But once the Hun cavalry came within range of their strong bows, the Huns' obscuring feathered arrows would be a nightmare for any pure infantry army.

The Jiuyuan Army, whether it is the commander of the army or the ordinary soldiers, knows this very well. Therefore, the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army who went out of the city to fight this time basically had a small shield in their hands, and they took out all the large and small shields stored in the treasury of Jiuyuan City, and they barely scraped together.

And these shields will be the only effective means of defense against the feather arrows of the Huns.

After the feather arrows, when the Huns officially rushed into battle, it would be a real confrontation between the two armies! Whoever wins or loses, you have to kill it with a real gun.

The distance of forty paces was less than a few breaths under the four hooves of the Donghu cavalry.

"Buzz!"

All the Donghu cavalry raised their strong bows in their hands while galloping, and shot the first arrow with great strength. Then, without pause, he continued to draw his bow and arrows.

In an instant, three arrows have been shot in a row! Some of the Donghu cavalry with fast hands have even shot four arrows!

What is the meaning of covering the sky, when you really face the cavalry of the Donghu cavalry, you will know what it means to cover the sky!

Three waves of thick feathered arrows in a row flew towards the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army with a roar.

A thick black shadow completely covered the sunlight above the heads of the Jiuyuan Army!

This is not a salvo of more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry, but a salvo of Donghu cavalry who ran in front and had already entered the range of the strong bow in their hands! Behind these Donghu cavalry, at least half of the Donghu cavalry is still galloping, and they have not yet entered the firing range.

The feathered arrows that covered the sky fell from the sky in an instant.

"Jingle Bell!" The sound is endless! Occasionally, there was a popping sound of feathered arrows passing through the gaps in the shield piercing through the gaps in the armor and into the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Nine Plains Army, as well as low screams and muffled snorts.

A shield can cover some of the feathered arrows, but everyone knows that he can't cover all of them.

The Jiuyuan Army has finally begun to have casualties!

The three waves of feather arrows all fell, and at least nearly 10,000 Qin soldiers in the outermost part of the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army were shot by the feather arrows of the Donghu people and were injured! But there were very few soldiers who actually died directly. There are shields to cover the vital parts of the body, and even if the feather arrows of the Donghu cavalry penetrate the gaps between the shields, they can only shoot into the exposed thighs or arms of the Jiuyuan soldiers.

Only a few less than a thousand people were killed by the feather arrows of the Donghu cavalry who were directly hit by the vital point!

The wounded soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army calmly pulled out the feather arrows inserted in their arms, thighs, and shoulders, bringing out streams of blood. Then he tightly grasped the bronze sword in his hand!

By this time, the Donghu cavalry was about to start the first head-on collision with the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army!

Less than ten steps away!

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army holding spears could clearly see the hideous faces and eyes of the Donghu cavalry! All the Donghu cavalry knew what would happen when they faced the steel walls of the Jiuyuan Army, which were densely packed with giant shields, and the long, sharp spears that protruded from the gaps in the giant shields.

But if you don't hit, you may die faster! Because the Donghu cavalry behind their buttocks was already dense at such a distance, if they didn't hit the steel giant shield of the Jiuyuan Army, they would be knocked to the ground by the Donghu cavalry behind them, and then trampled to death!

Ten steps away, less than a breath!

The Donghu cavalry who rushed to the front were armed with simple knives with a little arc, and they had already collided with people and horses!

However, the first thing to greet them was obviously not the giant shield, but the sharp spear that was at least more than a foot long protruding from the outside! Many Donghu cavalrymen have not yet approached the giant shield, and they have already been pierced by this spear with men and horses!

Of course, there are still many spears that were broken in two by the Donghu cavalry!

At the same time as colliding with the spear, the Donghu cavalry who was pierced by the spear on the war horse has been killed! But even if they were killed, under the strong habitual surname, many Donghu cavalry carried the broken spears of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan army, and then slammed into the huge shield on the outermost part of the Jiuyuan military array!

A loud "bang, bang, bang" sound throughout the land! The mournful roars of the war horses and the screams of the Donghu cavalry before their deaths continued!

It's like a huge wave crashing on the reef!

Wave after wave of Donghu cavalry continuously attacked the huge shield city wall and the gun forest composed of the foot soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army! The strong impact force made the tall and strong Jiuyuan Army foot soldiers holding a giant shield in the outermost part of the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx couldn't help but stagger, and the originally neat and strict defense line began to twist and twist!

The Donghu cavalry, who were lucky enough to rush in, were killed by the spearmen who were waiting in the phalanx before they had time to cheer! Then throw the corpse out of the shield wall!

More and more Donghu cavalry rushed into the shield wall of the Jiuyuan Army!

One by one, the spears are broken! Then there were soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army to make up for it!

The big array is starting to be unstable!

The Donghu people are already completely red-eyed! At this time, the retreat of either side represents death! No one wants to die! If you don't want to die, you can only break through this shield wall and kill all the Qin people!

Although the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army are not afraid of death, they also don't want to die! Then obviously you can only kill all these Hun barbarians who rushed over!

That's it!

The familiar humming sound resounded across the earth again!

The Donghu cavalry at the rear has already entered the range of the strong bow in his hand!

Three waves of huge arrow rain flew into the sky in a row, and then with a sharp whistle, they swooped towards the phalanx of the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army!

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin army were all trying their best to resist the Donghu cavalry that was constantly rushing in, and the soldiers of the Jiuyuan army on the periphery were not in a hurry at all, and they could not raise their shields for defense!

Because as long as they are not careful, the tight shield wall will be broken by the Donghu cavalry. Once the shield wall was broken through by the Donghu cavalry and killed into the phalanx by more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry, the 80,000 original army infantry knew what the consequences would be!

The countless feather arrows that suddenly fell suddenly made a large area outside the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army blank! (To be continued)
