Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Bloody Crossbow

galloping horses and riding the heavenly mountains, 100,000 heroes raised their swords and rushed,

Men should take Wu Hook Moon and make great achievements. - Li Bai, "Conquering the Great Food Country", ......

The earth was shaking violently, the sky seemed to have become dim, the rumbling war drums continued to sound, and with the charge of the Tang army, an indomitable momentum made the atmosphere of the entire valley and plain seem extremely tense and solemn.

The Tang army's charge seemed random, but it was very orderly, the Xuanjia battalion at the front rushed in array, and the soldiers held tall steel shields, providing the most powerful protection for the cavalry, infantry, and crossbowmen behind them.

On the two flanks of the Xuanjia Battalion, they were the Longxiang Battalion and the Jumping Battalion, and these two elite divisions used the Bird Flying Formation, which wanted to tear through the enemy's defense line from the flanks as quickly as possible.

Behind these three battalions was the main infantry regiment of the Tang Army: the Tiger Battalion.

The charge of 100,000 hot-blooded men caused a small commotion in the phalanx of the Great Food Country, but they soon restored order, but there were still small riots on the flanks of the Great Food Army, not only did not get better, but there was a tendency to become more and more intense.

Looking at it, it turned out that on the flanks of the phalanx of the Great Food Country Legion, it was not the soldiers in white clothes, most of the soldiers who were rioting on the flanks were disheveled, wearing leather jackets and felt, looking very sloppy, this is a typical nomadic dress, they don't even have unified weapons and equipment, they look like a group of rabble, in fact, they are a temporary auxiliary army formed by the Shi Kingdom, and they are indeed composed of nomads who have not undergone any training.

At this time, seeing such a fierce scene on the battlefield, many of them were so frightened that their legs trembled. Even the horses were a little unmounted.

Li Ji, who had been following behind the Xuanjia Battalion, discovered this with an extremely keen eye. I saw him shouting loudly at the herald who was following by the horse: "The herald will order." Change the formation of the two wings to the Goose Wing Formation, and launch a fierce attack on the weak spots of the enemy's flanks! ”

A dozen heralds galloping on horseback, as if they had heard a holy decree, tightened their horses' heads, and galloped towards the rest of the phalanxes with a sharp turn.

"The Lord will command! The two-wing formation has been changed to a goose wing formation! Attack the local flanks! ”

The heralds quickly spread the news to the commanders of the phalanxes, who raised their flags and signaled that the troops should change formation. I saw that the mighty army was mobilized in an orderly manner, like a part on a huge war machine, and every soldier was a nut on this machine, constituting its precise operation......

When the army approached, and the two armies were about 500 paces apart, Li Ji ordered the bow and crossbow to shoot, and ordered the flag officer to swing the triangular apricot yellow flag and start the first round of shooting, and the long crossbow arrows flew towards the enemy in an arc.

Due to the long distance, the first shot did not cause much damage, and only a small number of unlucky people fell to the ground in the Great Food Army. However, this also shocked the Great Food Army, and the enemy was obviously hundreds of paces away. But it's unbelievable that a bow and arrow can hurt someone.

However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the big cannibals also know that this is not the time to discuss why the enemy has such a long range, only to see that they quickly adjusted their formation, the cavalry moved back, and the shield bearers were at the forefront, raising huge shields to block the Tang army's arrow rain.

Seeing this scene, Li Ji also raised his hand, stopped shooting, and waited until the two armies were three hundred and thirty paces away from each other to open the range of the crossbow, and then the second round of shooting began, and the dense crossbow arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, above the heads of the enemy soldiers, and caused heavy damage to the enemy troops, at that time, hundreds of people lost their combat effectiveness, and there was a period of confusion in the Great Food Army, but the Tang Army did not stop at this moment, and the army was still approaching step by step.

Seeing this, the big food boss Kyle couldn't stand it anymore, only to see him riding a war horse, raising the crescent scimitar in his hand, and roaring loudly: "Kill these damned infidels!" Crossbowmen shoot! ”

Hearing the commander's order, the archers who had already been prepared in the Great Food Army also set up their bows and arrows and launched a round of arrow rain in the direction of the Tang army.

However, unlike the powerful arrow rain of the Tang Army, the arrow rain shot by the Great Food Army had not yet reached three hundred steps, and most of them had already lost their power, like desperate birds, falling one after another.

"Haha! The big cannibal bow and crossbow are so bad, order the archer battalion and the machine crossbow battalion to load the arrow crossbow and immediately carry out the next round of shooting! Seeing this, coach Li Ji couldn't help laughing and ordered.

"Boss! Why not use the musket battalion of the city guards? According to the general's opinion, these great cannibal shields cannot stop our firearms at all. Beside Li Ji, Su Dingfang, a staff officer on the march, wondered.

The corners of Li Ji's mouth smiled slightly, pointed to the rear of the Great Food Army, and said, "The Chengguan Garrison has their own tasks, and General Su will know about it soon." After Li Ji finished speaking, the corners of his mouth still smiled at the herald beside him: "Since these big cannibals dare to fight back, let them know that our Central Plains organ technique is powerful!" Sue the sΓΉ archer battalion and the machine crossbow battalion, set up the eight-bull crossbow and Zhuge bow invented by Nanshan Academy, and fire three volleys! ”

After the Nanshan Academy's predecessors of the Mojia machine skills improved the eight-bull crossbow and Zhuge bow, the power is more than five times greater than in the past, and the arrow is not one, but a crossbow and eight, very lethal, even when Xu Yang saw these murderous weapons in the academy, he felt numb in the scalp, although there is no firearm power, but the arrow shaft is thicker than the hand, and the huge arrow that flashes with cold light, makes people feel cold all over the body when they look at it, if they are shot by this thing, the death is really miserable.

However, these things are used on the enemy, Li Ji does not mind at all, in this era, human life is like mustard, and the enemy is not even you who die or I die, in the face of these Arabs with different faces, Li Ji can't wait to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Datang's improved bow and arrow were launched, and hundreds of huge bows and arrows shot into the sky from the rear of the Xuanjia soldiers, and the dense rain of arrows pierced through the clouds and made a creepy chirp through the air.

All bows and crossbows such as bracket bows and crossbows and single-bow crossbows were fired together, and the powerful crossbow arrows shot through the shield, and the soldiers in front of the Great Food Army Array were like a row of crops that had been cut to the ground, and hundreds of soldiers of the enemy were killed on the spot in this round of attack, and even the inertia of the huge bow and arrow, after piercing the shield, it was continuously inserted into the bodies of two people, and the big cannibal who was shot sprayed blood, which looked like the scene of Shura's hell.

Many of the soldiers of the Great Eclipse were stunned by the scene in front of them, what kind of weapon the other party was using, this kind of power was beyond the scope of their comprehension.

Mi Xiu. Kyle's eyes widened at this time, and he didn't believe the picture in front of him, it was like a nightmare, but what he didn't know was that the nightmare had just begun...... (To be continued......)
