The roar of the galloping horses, the roar of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the terrible howl before death, the sound of human and animal being trampled on the flesh and bones, all the sounds turned into one word - head to head!

It was not unexpected, and the Han army might launch a wave of strong attacks when the distance was shortened to extremely close. The power of a crossbow increases with the distance.

There are only three arrows in battle, which is the usual practice, and in the face of cavalry charges, the Han army may not even be able to reach three salvos. Rather than hurriedly and reluctantly launching multiple rounds of salvos, it is better to complete the battle and kill your own side to the greatest extent.

But what he didn't expect was that the close-range shooting launched by the Han army was so terrifying!

The enemy's grasp of timing was at its peak, and the crossbow was launched just at the moment when the tribal cavalry spontaneously adjusted their charging formation. If it weren't for Qubei knowing that it was impossible, he would definitely think that the two sides had rehearsed in advance, so there was this tacit understanding.

In addition, the duration of the blow was also longer than he imagined, with three rounds of fire, and the strong bow and crossbow were like a torrential rain, smashing their heads and covering their faces, making people unable to even lift their heads.

Especially the crossbow! The lethality of this killing weapon within a hundred steps is already terrifying, and within a close range of fifty steps, it has reached a heinous level! Qubei and his cavalry felt that they were not facing a strong crossbow, but a throwing spear thrown by countless strong men with all their might!

What makes me feel humbled the most is not these, but the fighting spirit of the Han army that is not afraid of death.

Stopping a galloping horse at close range is a desperate task. Only a war horse that encounters more than three strong crossbows shooting head-on can stop the forward momentum, fall down, or even fly upside down.

The Han army had a strong firing density, but after all, it could not reach the point where every cavalry was taken care of by three crossbowmen. After all, there will still be many war horses that rush to the front of the Han army with the help of inertia.

The impact of these wounded horses will be greatly weakened, but the enemy is squatting and lying on the ground, even if the injured horses are pressed, they can crush many crossbowmen!

However, there was no fear in the eyes of the enemy army, only a boiling killing intent!

"Rush over! They have run out of crossbows, so don't be afraid. Rush over and kill them all! After the consternation, Qubei quickly reacted, at this moment, the most important thing is that the offensive cannot be stopped, and the speed cannot be slowed down. The most powerful wave of shooting of the Han army is over. Taking advantage of this opportunity is the only way to survive!

The response to the dehumation was quick, and the order was correct, but the effect was limited, because the order came too late.

Hu Qi did not expect to encounter this kind of attack in advance, although they were also very brave, but they did not have the consciousness and organization of Bai Ma Yicong to face a strong enemy anytime and anywhere, and to be able to sacrifice their lives to fight under any circumstances.

After the Xiongnu were attached. It had been a long time since they had engaged in large-scale battles with the Han army, and most of their knowledge of the Han army had been obtained from the border troops in Bingzhou, as well as the county soldiers in Hedong and Hanoi. Whether these troops can pay enough food for their soldiers is a question. How can there be money to buy such a money-throwing weapon as a crossbow?

Among Hu Qizhong, there are very few people who have seen a strong crossbow, and those who have seen such a large-scale salvo of strong crossbows do not exist at all.

So. They were scared.

Although the momentum of the charge has not changed, the horse's speed has slowed. Neither slowly, nor slowly, the corpses of the first few rows of people and horses were piled up in front of them. It is difficult to jump from above, maybe you will continue to face the Han army's shooting, even the Huns know how to avoid the benefits.

They involuntarily led the horse's head away, letting go of the area where the corpses were most concentrated, trying to make a detour from the side. Anyway, the horizontal formation of the Han army was pulled from the vicinity of Mingshi Mountain to the edge of the big river, where could it not be attacked? Why do you have to rush into the death trap?

The ability to avoid interests and disadvantages made the Hu cavalry get out of the way of the most dangerous zone, and it was also the zone where the lowly chose to concentrate on breaking through. The choice of the front team affected the rear team, so it seemed that Hu Qi was not discouraged and the offensive continued, but in fact, Hu Cai's horse speed had been greatly reduced, and the formation had become dispersed.

Looking at it in his eyes, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but looking at the long and thin formation of the Han army, he was relieved again.

Even if you don't need to hit the breakthrough tactics and engage in a full-scale battle, what is there to be afraid of with such a thin formation? What's more, the time left for him to react was too short, just a moment of thought, Hu Qi had already made adjustments spontaneously, how could he instantly regroup the formation that had collapsed?

All he could do was to continue to shout and fight, and at the same time order the trumpeter to blow the horn to warn Shan Yu and tell him to take countermeasures as soon as possible, either to come for reinforcements, or to order a retreat!

Bypassing the strong crossbow array, the front suddenly opened up. Finding that the strong crossbows of the Han army were indeed concentrated in the center, and the long-range attack power of the two wings was quite limited, the morale of Hu Qi rose again.

The distance is too short, and it is impossible to increase the speed of the horse that has been lowered to the extreme, but it doesn't matter, with excellent horse speed and knife skills, it is still easy to break through the defense line of the Han army.

The Hu cavalry were very confident, as long as there was no influence of equipment, in a battle with a comparable number of people, it was impossible for the Huns to lose to the Han Chinese, even if the other party was also a cavalry.

"Ho ho ......" howled loudly, Hu Qi was killed, and then they were shocked to see that the array of the Han army had moved!

They moved, did not retreat, did not dodge to the sides, but strode up to meet them!

"They're looking for death, killing, killing them all!" Qubei let out a loud roar in time, waking up the clansmen and turning surprise into joy. Infantry and cavalry hedges? What a stupid move this is, if you don't kill them all, how can you be worthy of the name of the Huns?

"Kill, kill!" The horsemen slapped their horses and danced their knives and swarmed up.

The Han army met without fear, and the arrays of the two armies collided together in an instant, and then, Hu Qi's array collapsed again!

It's the same as when you shoot a strong crossbow, or rather, it's even better than a strong crossbow. The damage caused by long-range attacks cannot be compared to melee combat in any case, and the casualties caused by just one collision are nearly twice as many as those caused by a strong crossbow shot!

There is no time to compare these, at this moment, his heart is like a monstrous wave surging.

His understanding of the world has been turned upside down.

He watched as the Han army's foot soldiers lined up in a rudimentary formation with only three rows in front and back, and met them stupidly.

As a result, it was this group of fools, in such a rudimentary formation, who cut down the cavalry in pieces as if they were cutting wheat.

At the front of the Han army array are more than 1,000 armor soldiers, these people are all strong men, wearing heavy armor, when they line up, it is like the Great Wall that will move, or the Taihang Mountain that spans thousands of miles, and it is very powerful! But this was not the reason why they were able to overwhelm the cavalry, it was the weapons in their hands that made the Han army cut down the cavalry like a devastation.

It was a strange-shaped weapon, shaped like an enlarged sword, but neither a five-foot blade nor a three-foot-long hilt could possess a long sword.

Of course, the biggest difference is power.

The use of the sword is mainly based on stabbing, and the giant sword in the hands of the Han army is the most used move is horizontal and vertical slashing.

The five-foot blade was swung with all the strength of the strong man, and what appeared in front of him was a thunderbolt one after another! The blade is pointing, the blocker is invincible, and under the light of the knife, everyone is broken!

"What is this...... A sword to chop horses? Immortal Heaven is above, how can the Han army have such a terrible weapon? Qubei had never seen this weapon, but he called out the name of the weapon in one mouth.

That's right, the sword of the horse!

The predecessor of the Mo knife, a unique weapon to ride with a horse!

The use of this weapon is extremely simple, as long as there is enough power to wield it. Moves? There's no need, just look at the target and swing it out with all your might.

If there is a disadvantage, it is that the gap is a bit large. In order to leave as much space as possible for wielding, the sword formation of slashing horses was very scattered, and the distance between individual soldiers was more than one zhang.

If the cavalry charges intensively and the speed of the impact is extreme, a swordsman will have to face multiple enemies at the same time, and it is too late to pull back, but it is possible to be scattered.

But now, Hu Qi, who was broken up by the strong crossbow and reduced his speed, only had to be slaughtered in front of the sword array!

Leading them was a mighty general armed with a great axe. Receiving a head-on blow, Hu Qi couldn't make any adjustments for a while, and could only be pressed backwards.

There was also a clever Hu Qi, relying on the speed of a fine horse, through the gap in the sword formation, trying to go around the back to sneak attack the enemy. What I didn't expect was that behind the killing array, there was a row of knife and axe hands holding long-handled axes.

The array of these sword and axe hands was also stretched wide, but the standing position was just staggered from the swordsmen in the front row. Hu Qi, who passed through the gap in front of him, collided head-on with a large axe swinging head-on.

The powerful swing is far beyond the scimitar can block, and the fate of these clever people is often smashed on the head with the scimitar, and the head is shattered like a watermelon, and they directly become headless ghosts.

Even if there was the lucky one, he was lucky enough to avoid the slash of the axeman, and then fought back. He will soon find out that there is a reason for the Han army's battle formation to be lined up in three rows.

The third row is a dense array of spearmen, and the lucky ones will have to face the stinging of at least three or more spears!

Even if you avoid all this, it's not time to rejoice. After the melee battle began, the crossbowmen who had launched three rounds of fire also spread out and chased closely behind the robe.

The crossbowmen lowered their crossbows one after another and took their longbows from their waists. Most people will follow the order, and in the way of curved shooting, a rain of arrows will pass over the heads of the robes in the battle and sway into the array of Hu Qi. There was also a small group of people who did not participate in the salvo, but kept an eye on the situation of the battle.

Once they found that there was a possibility that the Hu cavalry could pass through the formation, or that the forward was tight somewhere, they would use a cold arrow to snipe the Hu cavalry who were the bravest in battle, or who were relatively effective in commanding their comrades.

The quadruple killing array killed Hu Qi miserably, and he no longer saw the previous arrogance and arrogance, and could only watch the enemy step on the corpse of his companion and continue to move forward!
