Chapter 45: The repeater is not a panacea

The soldiers defending the city cheered loudly to welcome the victorious soldiers into the city, Mu Chenmo stood on the city wall and looked at Yang Xuan, who was a little carried away, a trace of worry rose in his heart, it seemed that he was afraid that he had forgotten all about this victory.

Yang Xuan's heart was extremely happy, since the war with the Xiongnu, he had been suppressed by their cavalry, and he had not won a single battle, not to mention even losing Yangguan.

Holding Lian Nu in his hand and looking at it over and over, although he had expected that the power of this new weapon was not small, but the role it played in the battle with the Xiongnu today was still beyond his expectations.

I couldn't help but think that as long as every soldier could master it, with the formations and combat experience he had studied, it would only be a matter of time before the Huns were defeated.

Mu Chenmo opened the curtain of the tent, looked at Yang Xuan's complacent expression, and said in a bad way.

"General Yang, don't underestimate the enemy, this victory against the Xiongnu is a surprise, the Xiongnu didn't see Liannu and couldn't parry it for a while."

Yang Xuan was not convinced, why did I win the war with the Huns in a bright and bright way, it was a fluke, and those bad moves of yours were not a fluke.

Mu Chenmo also wanted to say that Yang Xuan dealt with a few words perfunctorily, saying that he had just come back from the battle and was a little tired, so he had no choice but to leave.

Seeing Mu Chenmo go out, Yang Xuan pursed the corners of his lips, he admitted that Mu Chenmo was smart, but when it came to his combat level and experience, it was too far from him.

It's not that he looks down on Mu Chenmo and thinks that he can defeat the Hun cavalry with three or two bad moves and yin moves, ignorant boy, he can't put it down and looks at Lian Nu, and he has to rely on it to fight the Hun cavalry with real guns.

Mu Chenmo returned to the backyard of the county government with some concern, thinking that he must persuade Yang Xuan tomorrow, otherwise he would have something to do if he went on like this.

As he walked into the house, he was thinking about how to increase the combat effectiveness of his cavalry, when he raised his eyes and saw a small hand soldier facing his forehead.

In his heart, he quickly flashed to the side, and heard Qi Yu's haha laughter.

Seeing Qi Yu waving at himself triumphantly with his hand, Mu Chenmo's urge to beat people surged up again, his hands squeezed each other, raised his fists and rushed over, Qi Yu fled to the yard for a while, and the people continued to work in their hands.

Catching up and about to beat him, Qi Yu hurriedly raised his hand, "Take a look, my latest improvement, although it is not as fast as Lian Nu, but the hit rate is higher." ”

took the hand and looked at it, aiming at the hole in the tree in the courtyard that was pierced by Liannu, and with a whoosh, Nu's arrow shot out and hit the hole in the tree.

Thinking in his heart, this hand Nu is equivalent to a modern rifle with a high hit rate, and Lian Nu is equivalent to a shotgun with a wide shooting range, and when he looked up, he wanted to praise Qi Yu, but when he saw his proud appearance, he snorted coldly and confiscated his hand.

Qi Yu looked at it and stopped doing it, and followed behind clamoring for Mu Chenmo to change him.

In the midst of the noisy quarrel between the two, Yang Xuan sat in the big tent and received the battle report from the scout.

"Report, General Yang, I found that the Huns have 2,000 cavalry rushing towards Yumen Pass."

Yang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, these Tartars seemed to be unwilling, and they hurried to give him military merits, touched Lian Nu in his hand, and let them taste the power of this thing again.

"General Li Fu, order 5,000 men and horses, and follow me out of the city to fight."

Yang Xuan put on his armor and strode out of the camp, turned over his horse, and went out of the city with five thousand men and horses.

Vice General Zhang looked at Yang Xuan without saying anything, he wanted to remind General Yang if he wanted to ask General Mu for instructions, he must have handed over the current Shuai Yin, so it would not be considered a private camp.

But when he saw the high-spirited Yang Xuan and General Li Fu who was following behind him patting his ass, he still dispelled his thoughts, forget it, don't touch General Yang's moldy head, with Lian Nu in hand, the general will win.

The Jade Gate Gate slowly opened, and Yang Xuan wanted to form a square formation to fight again with the Hun cavalry as before.

"General Eton, look, the Qi people are out." A Hun cavalryman pointed ahead and said.

If Mu Chenmo could definitely recognize this Eaton as the Hun general who fled after slaughtering Yangguan.

"Haha, they actually put on this kind of king formation again." The Huns, dressed as lieutenant generals, mocked.

The Hun cavalry general Eaton rubbed the whip in his hand, looked at the square formation of the Qi army in front of him, and said to the deputy general.

"I want to get a new weapon for the Qi army."

The adjutant nodded: "General Eaton, this weapon is very fast, but it seems that the hit rate is not very good." ”

General Eaton raised his horsewhip and said to the cavalry behind him.

"Send a thousand cavalry to disperse and attack from four directions."

I saw 1,000 men and horses attacking from four directions: south, south, and north.

Yang Xuan saw the Hun cavalry attacking, waved the order flag in his hand, and ordered the soldiers to use crossbows to fire, and the crossbow arrows flew out like raindrops.

However, the Hun cavalry kept a distance of about one meter to control the horses, circled around the square like besieging prey, tested the range of crossbow arrows, and took the opportunity to constantly release cold arrows.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan waved his flag and ordered the quadrangular array to move to the east, and the Hun cavalry kept a distance outside the range and followed to the east, quickly waving the flag to the west, and the Hun cavalry was still not far away and not close to the Qi army.

The soldiers on the wall of Yumen Pass saw that the Qi army led by Yang Xuan was like a trapped beast, struggling desperately in the encirclement of hunters.

Seeing that the Hun cavalry was only besieged and refused to approach, Yang Xuan's forehead was sweating and his heart was anxious, and the command flag in his hand waved quickly a few times, and the quadrangle of five thousand soldiers ran quickly in one direction.

Where can the human legs catch up with the horse's legs, the Quartet of the Qi army is fast, and the cavalry of the Huns is faster.

Just when both sides were at a stalemate, the Xiongnu suddenly gave an order, and saw the Xiongnu cavalry of the besieging Qi army turn quickly, and the horse's hooves raised the yellow sand in the sky.

With the rapid running of the horses, the wind rose, and the fine sand drifted towards the large array of the Qi army, and the flying yellow sky affected the sight of the Qi soldiers.

In order to be able to lock on to the target, the crossbow-wielding soldiers had to keep their eyes open, but the wind carried the sand over the shield and drifted into their eyes, and one soldier's eyes were so dazzled by the sand that they began to cry, and slowly the soldiers raised their hands and rubbed their eyes.

As soon as the Hun cavalry saw that the time had come, they quickly rushed to the quadrangle, Yang Xuan ordered to fire, and the soldiers squinted and kept the stream and did not aim, and quickly fired crossbow arrows in front.

The power of the repeater is once again revealed, and there is no need for precise aiming in a large area, as long as it can do the action of firing, it can kill the enemy, just like a machine gun, you only need to shoot at the enemy.

Seeing this, the Hun cavalry had to retreat beyond the firing range, looking for the opportunity to attack next.

Yang Xuan's heart was slightly relieved when he saw that he retreated, and found that the crossbow arrows could not be attacked, so he ordered the other party to stop firing, and the number of crossbow arrows they brought was limited.

Seeing the current situation, Vice General Zhang looked at Yang Xuan anxiously, and opened his mouth to ask General Mu for help, but he was afraid that he would not agree, and when he was hesitating, a stone suddenly smashed into the quadrangle.

Looking into the distance, I saw that the Hun soldiers who had been watching the battle had pushed the catapult from nowhere and were launching it in their own direction.

Stones fell from the sky, and the soldiers were injured, and Vice General Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"General Yang, let's retreat and ask the commander of Yumen Pass for help."

The scouts watching the battle on the Yumen Pass saw that the situation was not good, and quickly rushed to General Mu's main account.

Mu Chenmo, who was involved in this matter, didn't know anything about the battle situation outside Yumen Pass, and was studying with Gu Han and others on ways to improve the combat ability of soldiers.

"Report, General Mu, General Yang led 5,000 soldiers to meet the Hun cavalry outside the Yumen Pass, and the defeat is present."

When everyone heard this, they quickly followed the scouts to the city wall, only to see that the Quartet of the Qi army had been dispersed by the Hun cavalry, the wounded soldiers were wailing below, and the deputy generals were protecting Yang Xuan and retreating in the direction of Yumen Pass.

In his heart, he was first shocked and then looked at the scout angrily: "Why didn't you report it earlier." ”

The scout was so frightened that he fell to his knees, Mu Chenmo had no intention of bothering with him, and turned his head to look at the battle situation below.

"Mu Chenmo, what's wrong."

Hearing Qi Yu's voice, he turned his head and saw that Qi Yu was already standing on the city wall and looking down.

Mu Chenmo was angry and annoyed in his heart, looking at Yang Xuan who was fleeing in embarrassment below, and ordered.

"Order a thousand cavalry to come with me to the rescue."

Everyone hurriedly dissuaded, not knowing the next offensive of the Huns, the battalion could not be without a commander, Mu Chenmo looked at the dissuading deputy general with reason, and thought about who to send.
