Noon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, as if it couldn't stand the scorching temperature and hid, the sun penetrated the earth, the sky and the earth were blazing white, and the sun shone in the stream, shining. It paints the sky and the earth with a layer of bright color.

The heavy and chaotic sound of the horses' hooves on the ground, the wheezing and snorting of the war horses were getting closer and closer, and the cavalry of the golden wolf rode their horses and rushed over. Although they were only 2,000 troops, their loose lineup, billowing smoke and loud shouts made them look like a flood.

More than 100 people stayed quietly on the other side of the river, looking at such a situation, they couldn't help but change color slightly.

Especially Li Yifeng and Zhou Lingling, they have traveled the rivers and lakes and seen a lot of battles, but such a battlefield confrontation is the first time in their lives, and they know that when the manpower is finally exhausted, in the face of the impact of such a cavalry, even if they have strong martial arts, they are afraid that it will be useless.

"It's fine! There is a stream in the way, otherwise we are afraid that they will be trampled into mud with a single charge. Ba Yuxing was also shocked by the other party's momentum, and secretly staggered.

"Not good!" The one who spoke was Ashina Sheer's personal guard chief Valance, who had followed Ashina Sheer for ten years, and he also knew a little about the art of war and the tactics of the steppe cavalry, and said solemnly: "Before we step into the flesh, we must become a hornet's nest." The steppe people are good at shooting, and before they assault, they will inevitably shoot a rain of arrows to confuse the enemy's formation, and then charge. The river was no more than thirty-five paces wide, and it was all within range. At that time, tens of thousands of arrows will be fired at once, and we will have worrying consequences. ”

Li Yifeng and Ba Yuxing's faces changed slightly, and they never thought of this.

None of them had ever experienced the battlefield, and they didn't know anything about the art of using soldiers.

"What is the range of that crossbow arrow, which is comparable to a bow and arrow?" Qin Yu was silent for a long time, and his gaze fell on the crossbow arrow that Valance was equipped with. The Tang Dynasty was powerful, and they did not have orthodox archers. There was also no need to train archers, because under the policy of the wealthy Tang Empire, every soldier was equipped with crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrow is a high-tech, high-tech thing, and it can exert extraordinary power without rigorous practice, and has almost replaced the position of archers in this era.

Although Qin Yu didn't know the art of war, what he learned from Du He was light skills and hidden weapons, and as an expert who was proficient in hidden weapons, he was very sensitive to the key to range.

Valance said: "The effective range of the Turkic bow and arrow is about one hundred and thirty steps, and we are equipped with the latest crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty, and the most powerful range is within two hundred steps, but the steppe people are not wearing armor, and they can cause effective damage within two hundred and fifty steps." ”

Li Yifeng's eyes lit up, and he said: "Then why don't we retreat to a distance of two hundred and fifty steps, use the river water to temporarily use the opponent's cavalry as the momentum, and then use the advantage of range to kill their majesty first." ”

Valance laughed, "Great idea! ”

Even though the group has not learned any art of war and strategy, they can make such a reasonable and clever response according to the shortcomings of the other party at this moment, which also shows the outstanding wisdom of human beings.

The river was not wide or turbulent, but the deepest part of the river was chest-piercing, taller than the average horse, which invisibly formed a line of defense and gave them the opportunity to fight back.

Mohe Baha looked at the opposite shore with a serious expression, and at this moment, an extremely majestic divine eagle Hai Dongqing was parked on his shoulder. That Hai Dongqing is only half a meter long, but the pair of sharp eagle eyes, when looking forward to it, are extremely powerful.

"Young patriarch, I can't imagine that they only have this little bit of men and horses, and they dare to attack?" Belk, the commander of the Golden Wolf Army, also had a solemn face, they had already seen the power of the Tang Dynasty's crossbows, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while.

Mohe Baha was not surprised and said: "Ashina Sheer and Zhizhi Sili are all famous generals on our grassland, but if you don't know, if you blindly flee, you will fall into a certain situation." On the one hand, it is the most rational choice to send people to Yanmen Pass and the Turkic military camp to ask for help, and on the other hand, to take advantage of the favorable time and place to stop our army. It's just that...... They have calculated a lot, but they can't count that we have mastered the lost falconry technique, and with the eagle Hai Dongqing as an eyeliner, their every move can't escape my control. ”

"Then we just need to wait for the outflanked soldiers and horses to arrive, and it will be easy for us to destroy them."

"No way!" Mohe Baha flatly refused, "This place is too close to Yanmen Pass and the military camp, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, and we must fight quickly." Offensive...... Let the second team take the lead. ”

Mohe Baha has two teams of soldiers and horses in his hands, one is the original grassland, Jieli Khan's personal soldier Golden Wolf Army, belongs to a team, is the strongest soldiers and horses under his command, and the other is when he was a horse thief in Yu Du Army Mountain, the poor and vicious people who were recruited, although they are brave, but they are much inferior to the Golden Wolf Army.

The sound of the horn "woo" sounded in bursts.

The vanguard army has approached to ride into the water, and the national horsemanship on the grassland will not be weak, and it will be difficult for them to cross the river with horses, but horses are beasts after all, and they are far more affected by resistance than people, and their speed is greatly limited.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the other party had entered the water, Li Yifeng and Valance shouted in unison.

The sky is full of crossbow arrows!

In an instant, the soul-chasing crossbow arrows pierced through people and horses, often piercing two or three people with one arrow, and the cavalry in the water neighed sadly, and suddenly there was chaos.

Mohe Baha was dumbfounded, although he had long realized that the crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty had terrifying power, but he never imagined that the power would be so great.

The development of crossbow arrows has a long time, from the earliest Qin crossbow in the Qin Dynasty, to the strong crossbow in the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period, the chain crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang until the Tang Dynasty, the crossbow arrows in this period have maximized the speed and power, and a crossbow arrow can easily do twenty arrows in a row, and the power is not weak.

In the later Song Dynasty, because the cultural level of the Liao, Xixia, and Jin countries in the same period had made substantial progress, they already had their own one-piece iron armor, and ordinary bows and crossbows could no longer work. Therefore, such a strong crossbow as the Divine Arm Bow was invented under the wisdom of the Han people.

It's just that the Divine Arm Bow is certainly amazingly powerful, but the speed is unbearable.

There is no doubt that in the period of cold weapons, the bow and crossbow of the Tang Dynasty were the most lethal and the king with the most terrifying rate of fire. Now this powerful crossbow has also been improved by Duhe, and its power and speed are even better, and it has unparalleled lethality against these cavalry under the command of Mohe Bahar.

"Bite them and don't let up!" Li Yifeng also felt palpitations for the power of the Tang Dynasty's repeating crossbows, but he also knew that as long as the other party crossed the river and rushed over to fight them hand-to-hand with losses, the power of the crossbow arrows would not be able to be exerted, and they must be controlled on the opposite side of the riverbank.

The soldiers who controlled the crossbow arrows were all long-trained personal soldiers, and without Li Yifeng's persuasion, they had already launched a non-stop shooting on the enemy on the other side of the river with the method of stacking crossbows with ten thousand crossbows.

Under this non-stop continuous shooting, the cavalry in the water fell to the ground one after another, although the opponent was numerous, but they were in a good position to completely occupy a suppressive advantage, and none of the cavalry could flow across the center of the river.

Crimson blood stained the surface of the river, and hundreds of floating corpses flowed down the river.

Qin Yu laughed and said, "If we go on like this, our few hundred or so people will be able to overthrow their two thousand." ”

Valance shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If there are enough crossbow arrows, I still have some confidence in this, but the crossbow arrows we carry with us are only a few dozen, and now we can only support half an hour at most." ”

Qin Yu's smiling face dimmed.

Li Yifeng was also a little worried when he heard this.

Qin Yu looked at the bows and arrows on the backs of the soldiers on the other side and said, "Their arrows, are they usable?" ”

Valance still shook his head, in order to give full play to the advantages of the Tang Dynasty's bow and crossbow, each arrow was carefully crafted, which was very different from ordinary arrows.

After a pause, Qin Yu said: "Then slow down the rate of fire, strive to kill one person with every arrow, and leave the individual fish that slip through the net to me to deal with." ”

His voice fell like a sharp arrow from the string, rushed forward a hundred steps, took out four iron needles from the waist bag, and shot out of his hand, the iron needle slashed through the four long rainbows in the air, and took the lives of the four people in a gesture, and then shook his finger at Mohe Baha, with an expression that you are still far behind.

Mohe Baha's heart was dripping blood, he was no longer a tribal leader, his military aid was limited, and he looked at the soldiers who died tragically, and his intestines were remorseful. At this moment, seeing Qin Yu rushing into the range alone, provoking himself, he couldn't help but shout, "Shoot, shoot him for me!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a thousand people behind him had already wound up their arrows, and they shot out in a row.

"Hurry back!" When Li Yifeng and the others saw this scene, they screamed in horror, but then they couldn't scream, and they opened their mouths one by one, unable to believe the scene in front of them.

Qin Yu had already taken precautions, and with full horsepower, he took the footwork he had learned to step on the snow and leave incense to the extreme, rushing and jumping in the rain of arrows, and there was no branch in the sky that could hurt him in the slightest.

At this moment of crisis, Qin Yu turned around and smiled, revealing a relieved smile, which seemed to be at ease.

Since he was a child, he learned footwork similar to the eighteen falls of clothes from the old beggar, coupled with the snow treading incense and internal strength taught by Du He, he can only compare to him in agility by five fingers, completely contemptuous of the arrow rain shot by the other party.

The archers who shot were stunned and did not have the courage to shoot a second arrow.

After Du He's guidance, Qin Yu practiced hard by himself, and in the past two years, his light skills and secret weapons have reached the level of a popular artist.

Like an eagle, he spread his wings, came to the arrow feather bush, scooped up the three arrow feathers planted in the grass with one hand, and threw them at the soldiers in the lake. The arrow feathers broke through the air, instantly piercing the throats of several cavalrymen in front, and that clever technique made the cavalry who were difficult to move freely in the water become ready-made targets.
