The horn sounded, low and long, like a winter wind from the plug, which made people shudder.

The Huaihuang Army's unique new bronze army horn also responded, the loud sound of the beep was still a little unruly and unruly, but the yellow stone sounded a little too sharp and harsh, at this time, the front of the gang leader Zhong Laosi also picked up the iron whistle hanging around his neck, put it in his mouth and vigorously puffed it up, the iron ball in the iron whistle quickly rotated, and then the whistle made a more and more sharp beep. Huang Shi felt that the various mixed sounds were like a monk chanting, and his internal organs were churning for a while, and suddenly a wave of nausea swelled, and the whole person was dizzy. This was his first battle, and he didn't expect that he would be so unbearable, and he was secretly annoyed, hoping that his cousin would not be seen and despised by his comrades.

He clenched his teeth, trying to suppress the disgusting sensation.

At this time, Zhong Laosan, the leader of the gang in front, turned his head and glanced at the pale yellow stone, and did not laugh, but smiled gently, "The first time I went to the battlefield with real knives and real guns, most people are like this, and it will be fine after a while." You listen to me, take a deep breath, yes, take a deep breath, and don't think about anything. Huang Shi did as Zhong Laosan said, and after a few deep breaths, he really got a lot better, and the disgusting feeling went down a lot.

"Well, eat a piece of cane sugar and press it." Zhong Laosan took out a piece of cane sugar from the cloth bag in his arms and handed it to Huang Shi.

"Thank you, sir." Huang Shi said gratefully.

"Thank you, they're all brothers who stir horses and spoons in a pot." Zhong Laosan smiled and opened his mouth. Revealing the two missing front teeth. Although his methods of encircling his subordinates were very low-level, they were very effective, and Huang Shi was grateful to Zhong Laosan in his heart. "I know you shoot well with stones. When we train and assess, you have the best results, and you can shoot a pot of arrows without stopping at a time, which is amazing. This one is better than me, you don't have to say anything, I'll tell you an experience. When the fight starts, don't treat those enemies for human beings. ”

"What should you not be an adult?"

"You think they're wolves or rabbits." Zhong Lao Sandao. "You've hunted before, haven't you? Killing wolves and rabbits won't make it hard to get by, right? When you release the arrows later, that's it, just think of them as the prey you shot before. ”

Huangshi seems to understand whether he understands or not. Thinking about it like this, my heart really doesn't feel so uncomfortable.

"Stone, don't waste your skills. Let me tell you, war is a rare opportunity. As long as you make a meritorious service. can be promoted and rewarded. You're also sixteen, and you don't have a daughter-in-law yet, but it's nothing, as long as you fight hard, this battle is over, and you have everything. I tell you, when the time comes, you will be rewarded, and you will not only be able to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. You can even bring your parents, brothers and sisters to live together. At that time, your baby will also be a city person. ”

The trumpet sounded. There was a moment of silence on the battlefield.

But in the next moment, it was overwhelmed by an even greater hustle and bustle.

The opposite side had already launched an attack, and in the midst of a burst of roars, one after another the Momoyama coalition army ran fast, roaring as they ran, like a flood that burst the embankment, rolling wildly.

The beeping whistle sounded again, and Zhong Laosan couldn't care about talking to Huang Shi anymore, turned his head over, and picked up his longbow.

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

On the longbow position, the officers shouted orders everywhere, and one by one the longbowmen took arrows and mounted the longbows.

The commander of the longbowmen, Wang Bodang, had been watching the clearing on the east bank of the river, and in this clearing there were many wooden stakes, which were neither horses nor deer's feet, but marks of various distances to the west of the archers' formation. Ten steps and one pile, from the front of the longbow formation to the east bank of the river, it is exactly one hundred and fifty steps. This distance is within the effective range of the longbow, but outside the effective range of the ordinary longbow.

The longbow of the Huaihuang army is slightly worse than the historical English longbow, mainly because the English longbow uses a yew wooden bow, while the Huaihuang army uses an ordinary elm wooden bow. However, although it is not as good as the English longbow, it is not much worse. The longbow of the Huaihuang Army, the effective range of the projectile is more than two hundred paces, reaching two hundred and fifty steps. Even if it is a flat shot, an elite longbowman can meet the requirements of shooting a humanoid target 130 steps away, and ordinary longbowmen are required to hit the target 100 steps away. The longbowmen of the Huaihuang Army are not well trained, but there is no problem in shooting a humanoid target with sixty paces.

And this time, Wang Bodang did not ask them to aim and release arrows one by one, but asked eight archer regiments, plus a crossbowman regiment, to divide into three batches and carry out continuous volley shots.

One hundred and fifty steps from the east bank of the river to the archer formation, twenty steps from the small river, adding up to only one hundred and seventy steps, the longbow battalion of the Huaihuang army not only included all the open space from the east bank of the river to the front of the battle, but even within seventy steps on the west bank of the river, it was within the range of the Huaihuang army's upward firing attack.

As for the Momoyama coalition forces on the other bank, the bows in their hands are only traditional composite infantry longbows, and compared to the ultra-long range of the Huaihuang longbow, their bow range is only the traditional one hundred and twenty steps.

Two hundred and fifty steps versus one hundred and twenty steps, this comparison number is very different. In other words, the range of the Huaihuang longbow is more than twice that of the Momoyama army. When they entered the range of the Huaihuang Army, they still had to run another hundred and thirty steps before they could attack the Huaihuang Army.

At these 130 steps, they can only be beaten passively, and they don't even have room to fight back.

One hundred and thirty paces, a distance from which the hoplites would take about ninety seconds to charge, and the heavy cavalry would take only fifteen seconds. When a heavy infantry charges, it can only run two or three meters a second, and ordinary infantry is faster, but not much faster. If the light infantry charge was twice as fast as the heavy infantry, it would take forty-five seconds to take one hundred and thirty steps.

The projectile speed of the Huaihuang Army is the standard seven times per minute!

At this distance of one hundred and twenty paces, if the normal charging speed of the infantry of the Peach Army was carried out, they would have to take five volleys.

In fact, the battlefield preset by Lingyun is very good, and this one hundred and twenty steps can not be fought back when passively beaten. It happened to be a muddy area on the side of the creek and its banks, and even the light infantry could only run at the speed of the heavy infantry, a distance of at least a minute and a half to two minutes. At this time, the Huaihuang Longbow Army can shoot at least ten arrows without the slightest threat.

The Momoyama coalition army attempted to break through the Huaihuang army formation in one fell swoop by virtue of its superiority in strength.

But he didn't expect that those longbows that seemed to be too long would be so powerful.

They had just rushed halfway, and they were at least more than two hundred steps away from the position of the Huaihuang Army, and at this time, there was a constant hissing sound in the sky.

Then someone looked up. I saw that countless black spots in the sky were suddenly densely packed, like a large group of locusts suddenly flying over the battlefield, and constantly approaching them.

"Damn it. The archers of the Huaihuang Army were frightened, this was at least two hundred paces away, and they actually released their arrows. Several cottage owners who were supervising the war in the rear couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw the Huaihuang army release arrows. Originally, he was still full of fear of the Huaihuang Army. It's a lot easier all of a sudden. Look at it this way. The Huaihuang Army is just a donkey dung and eggs, and the surface is just light. It looks scary, but as soon as they make a move, their true strength is exposed.

After the initial surprise, many of the copycat soldiers and horses who were charging continued to run forward, not paying the slightest attention to the bows and arrows shot in the distance. But soon someone noticed that something was wrong, and the rain of arrows did not fall immediately, but continued to whizz and get closer and closer. Seeing that the rain of arrows had already flown over the small river, it had flown to the west bank. Then keep flying.

The screaming of the sky grew louder and louder, and finally flew above them.

This time. They really changed color, and everyone cursed and scolded, and at the same time they were still thinking in a daze, how could this be fucking?

The first wave of birch arrows from the Huaihuang Longbow Battalion roared like hail, covering the body of the Momoyama soldiers and horses surging like a tide.

Hundreds, thousands, innumerable in an instant.

The three-foot-long birch arrows were all covered with iron arrows, and after flying in the air for more than two hundred steps, they fell at an extremely fast speed, and many of the very dense Momoyama coalition troops immediately fell to the ground with arrows. And what made many Momoyama soldiers desperate was that the arrows that flew more than 200 steps away were not diminished in the slightest, which was quite fatal for these bandit coalition troops who only had a piece of leather armor on their bodies, and even most of them had no armor, let alone shields. The long arrow fell, and the iron arrow pierced the neck of a minion lightly, and he fell to the ground in despair, dead without blinking his eyes. When a small leader next to him saw this scene, his heart was cold, and he gathered the leather armor on his body and ran faster. But he hadn't gone far enough when another long arrow whistled down in the air, striking him right in the chest. The moment the long arrow came into view, he had the last glimmer of hope, hoping that the leather armor on his body, which had cost him a good horse, would be able to block the arrow.

A pain in his chest came as he lowered his head and looked at the scene in disbelief. The three-foot-long arrow, with birch branches as rods and iron as arrows, mercilessly pierced through his precious cowhide armor and pierced deep into his chest. At the entrance, a bright red blood flower slowly bloomed, his steps became sluggish, his eyes were blurred, his breathing was not smooth, and his hands and feet slowly became cold. Ah screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, he staggered, and finally fell to his knees. He stared at the arrow unwillingly, and then looked up at the sky, and in the middle of the sky, another metal storm rolled in. He mustered up the last bit of strength, grasped the shaft of the arrow with both hands, and pulled it out with all his might, but the arrow bit at his wound as if it had taken root. Severe pain came, blood from the wound spurted out, he screamed again, and the whole person curled up to the ground like a rag bag, and the last bit of sanity in his heart made him understand that this long arrow that flew more than 200 steps and shot him, actually, there was a fucking barb

At this time, the second wave of arrows had fallen from the sky, and on the position of the longbow camp, the yellow stone had leaned on the one in front of him and was buried deep in the soil, and one sharpened tip pointed obliquely to the side of the stake of another head pointed to the sky, and pulled out an arrow from the ground, and quickly pulled out the six-foot-long longbow in his hand, and put the third longarrow on the bowstring.

Three arrows were shot, and Huang Shi's state of mind was getting more and more stable. At this time, he was fully engrossed, but strictly according to the training he had received in the archer battalion, with his bow and arrows, pointing diagonally at the sky, shooting upwards, aiming according to the way he had learned, and his arrows were shooting very well. Each arrow flew perfectly across the river and fell into the charging enemy.

Yellowstone's eyes were good. Although he was separated by more than 200 steps, he could still see the running bandits constantly falling to the ground.

He shot his third arrow, and the entire archer position had already shot nine waves. Six hundred arrows at a time, four thousand five hundred arrows have been fired in the blink of an eye. And this is just a breath of time, and the bandits haven't even come close to the river.

The coalition army charged in the rain of arrows, and many bandit leaders shouted loudly from behind: "Rush over, rush over, rush past and there will be no bows and arrows." ”

"Rush. They can't keep their bows and arrows all the time! ”

It's a pity that the arrows shot from the opposite side are shooting one after another, and they never stop. And the more you rush forward. The more lethal the arrows are. When they rushed headlong into the riverbank, the muddy terrain immediately slowed down their speed, and the people behind them continued to rush forward, so the people and horses on the riverbank became more and more dense. Soon it was crowded like a herd of cattle singing by the river on the grassland.

The result is: The lethality of the Huaihuang Army's arrow rain has increased exponentially, and almost every moment there are people around him who are constantly screaming at arrows. The screams one after another, as well as the rain of arrows in the sky, gave people the illusion that every arrow in the sky could hit one or two.

"What the hell is this weird bow and arrow, how can it shoot so far?" Under the banner of the coalition army in the rear, the expression of the old knife handle became more and more solemn. Almost all gloomy out of the water. "Two hundred paces, and the range of their longbows is two hundred paces. And the lethality is still amazing! ”

"And their arrows barely stop!" Zhang Cheng, who had a black face, also added. He had just rushed over from the front, "Alliance leader, the opponent's bow and arrow are too strong, we have to send someone to outflank it." He put forward his opinion, although it seems that there are not many people in the main position of the Huaihuang Army, but who would have thought in advance that this seemingly weakest front would have such a ferocious lethality, this is simply a meat grinder, and it is simply a trap.

It is impossible to collect troops at this time, and if the troops are withdrawn, then it is really impossible for this morale to continue to fight. Fortunately, there are many coalition troops and horses, and at this time, it is completely possible to send two teams of men and horses to attack the flanks and flanks of the opponent and kill them from the flank. Zhang Cheng had already seen that the opponent's longbowmen were indeed powerful, but the number was limited, and there were only more than a thousand archers. Divide the troops into three sides to attack, and the role of the opponent's archers will be greatly reduced.

"Accurate!" The old knife said fiercely.

The horn sounded again, woohoo! Zhang Cheng waved his spear and shouted an order, and the voices of thousands of people immediately responded. Countless people shouted, joined in the noise of all sounds, and then rushed forward together.

"Flanks!" Zhang Cheng took the lead, personally leading the horse team in front, and he shouted at his subordinates as he ran: "Flanks, attack flanks, rush the woods on both sides!" He galloped like a tiger out of the cage, and the cavalry behind him also followed with whips, and after the cavalry rolled away, a large number of foot soldiers also followed with knives and guns.

Shan Xiongxin sat on the horse with his golden nail Zaoyang lance, looked coldly at the enemy formation opposite, and divided two teams of men and horses, one left and one right, rushing towards the river. Shan Xiongxin snorted coldly, just now they had been here watching those archers of the Chinese army's longbow battalion show their might, killing and killing two hundred paces away, beating the other party's charging bandits like killing chickens and dogs. Those who have seen it early have this itch unbearable. Thinking that he was a dignified hussar general, he actually watched a group of archers here, and he was a little hungry and thirsty. didn't think about it, but the other party was very cooperative, and took the initiative to rush out so quickly.

"Follow me!" Shan Xiong Nobunaga waved his hammer and roared. Under the guidance of the flag, six hundred light horsemen on the left flank formed a wedge-shaped attack formation and rushed straight towards the enemy troops rushing on the opposite side.

The two cavalry engaged, and the spears and horses stabbed each other, rampage, and some could not dodge, and the tips of the spears pierced through the chest, and they died on the spot.

Shan Xiongxin took the lead in the battle, holding the Zaoyang lance full of spikes, and directly slammed into an enemy horse in front of him like a battering ram. With a huge impact, the nail lance directly hit the opponent's chest, and immediately knocked the opponent into the air, and the chest also collapsed, falling directly under the corpse.

Six hundred light horsemen pierced the advance of the allied light cavalry like a red-hot iron chisel into the frozen lard. After Shan Xiongxin penetrated the enemy's cavalry forward, he did not continue to move forward, he firmly guarded Yi Feng's military order and held the left flank. And he knew very well that just now they killed the opponent's striker in one fell swoop with their high momentum, but in fact, it was also because the opponent's striker was too few and out of touch with the horse team behind him, so he seized the opportunity and did a hard job. Otherwise, he would not dare to fight directly with the other party arrogantly with these six hundred horses. After taking advantage, he took it when he saw it, and with a roar, he pulled out the horse's head and killed it back.

The banner fluttered and moved, and the other cavalry in the formation followed the banner of their commander, turned their horses, and slew again at the sparse enemy cavalry that had been charged.

By the time most of the horse team behind the Momoyama cavalry arrived, Shan Xiongxin had already entered and exited, and returned to the front of the woods to regroup the queue.

"Ready!" Shan Xiongxin looked at the cavalry of the rear of the enemy army who arrived in a hurry, and did not have the slightest fear, and shouted on the horse, "With so-and-so, kill!" ”

"Kill!" Hundreds of light horsemen roared loudly and rushed straight to the clouds! (To be continued......)
