Chapter 47: The First Battle of the Battle of Sarhu
"Adjust the angle and wait for my orders. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Gu Xiao rode on a horse, watched the six roads and listened to all directions, looked at the Jianyu who appeared in the distance, and was getting closer and closer to this side, and shouted loudly.
At this moment, his four Wind Forest Volcano Divisions have all been prepared, and the first one in line is the crossbowman holding the Divine Arm Bow, and these crossbowmen are the Wind Division among the four parts of his Wind Forest Volcano. At the beginning, when Gu Xiao was forming the four parts of this wind forest volcano, he had been thinking about whether the crossbow in the crossbowman's hand was better than the divine arm bow or the Zhuge crossbow.
Later, after thinking about it repeatedly, he finally gave up the Zhuge Repeater, you know, although this Zhuge Repeater can shoot ten arrows in a row in the shortest possible time, and the power is infinite, but in terms of penetration, the power of the Zhuge Repeater is obviously not as good as this divine arm bow.
You must know that the Divine Arm Bow can break through armor within three hundred steps, and its penetration power is definitely far above that of the Zhuge Repeater.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Gu Xiao finally gave up the idea of using the Zhuge Repeater, and instead focused on this divine arm bow. And in the past few years, after repeated actual combat training, Gu Xiao found that this armor-piercing weapon hundreds of years ago really deserves its reputation.
Gu Xiao looked into the distance, those Jianlu who were riding on horseback, wearing cotton armor, and had hideous faces, these Jianyu were already getting closer and closer to them.
Even, Gu Xiao could already see the lightning rods above the heads of those Jianyu.
By Gu Xiao's side, those crossbowmen had now finished loading their arrows, and they all raised the heavy divine arm bows in their hands, eager to try.
Gu Xiao looked at Jianyu in front of him, and only felt that his soul had finally returned to an absolutely rational environment at this moment, whether it was in front of him or within a radius of ten zhang from him, there was nothing to hide from himself.
At this moment. Gu Xiao could feel that in his heart, all the selfish distractions had completely disappeared now, no matter what it was. Now he can no longer interfere with his judgment, and he only has one last thought left in his mind: defeat the enemy in front of him!
Thinking like this, Gu Xiao paid close attention to the movements of the enemies in front of him, and began to silently estimate the distance between them:
Five hundred steps!
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred and fifty steps!
Three hundred steps!
Finally, by the time Jian Yu had come to a distance of about three hundred paces in front of him. Gu Xiao finally moved, an arm that had been raised high at some point, waved down heavily, and shouted violently: "Release the arrow!" Three-stage shooting! ”
Sou! A uniform sound of arrows rang out, and after he uttered the order, the crossbowmen, who had been standing still and aiming at the enemies in front of them, finally began to move.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows drew a graceful arc in the air and hurled towards Jianyu. Although the arrows were not precise enough, each arrow was aimed at the captives accurately. The cavalrymen in white armor shot at them, firmly laying a net of arrows in the air.
"Hahaha, Geng Shaonan's little barbarian doesn't know how to fight at all?" In the distance, Boar Skin looked at what was happening in front of him and burst out laughing. He had been on this battlefield for almost his whole life, and he had never heard of anyone whose bow and crossbow could shoot the enemy within three hundred paces.
"Ahh "Ahh ……
Just as Wild Boar Pi laughed, it seemed to him that it was impossible to shoot the crossbow arrow of his Eight Banners Warrior. But it had already been shot very simply on the bodies of his warriors, and in the ranks of the Eight Banners cavalry, there were screams incessantly, and the crossbow arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow shot through the boar skin and his nephews very easily. Very strong cotton armor.
Hardly a single bolt was wasted, and each arrow could pierce the seemingly sturdy cotton armor and take the life of a person.
"Three-stage shooting! No stops! Gu Xiao shouted violently and ordered again.
At this moment, the crossbowmen in the first row had already shot out all the crossbow arrows on their crossbow bows, after hearing Gu Xiao's order. The crossbowmen in the first row immediately obediently crouched down, drew a crossbow arrow from the quiver they were carrying, and reloaded it again.
After the crossbowmen in the first row crouched down, the crossbowmen in the second row also immediately shot the precious crossbow arrows in their divine arm bows, and shot straight at Jianyu, who had already taken out the bows and arrows they had carried with them at this moment and began to shoot back.
After being attacked head-on by Gu Xiao's subordinates with the Divine Arm Bow, the cruelty and violence hidden in the blood of the Jianzhu were finally stimulated by the blood of their own companions. One by one, they took out their bows and arrows and began to fight back.
It's a pity that there are no crossbows among the captives, so they can only use homemade bows to shoot feather arrows at Gu Xiao's subordinates. I have to admit that today's Eight Banners soldiers are indeed not comparable to the Eight Banners masters who wander around all day long in later generations.
Because, when the distance between each other was still two or three hundred steps away at the moment, even though most of the feather arrows shot by these Eight Banners soldiers were still in mid-air, they fell to the ground weakly, but some of the crossbow arrows still successfully approached Gu Xiao's crossbowmen. Even, more than a dozen crossbowmen were shot dead and wounded on the spot!
Gu Xiao watched as his crossbowmen and the enemy's team began to shoot at each other, just quietly estimating the distance between each other and the casualties.
His subordinates, after two years of fighting with the Tatars, these once destitute military households, swordsmen who carried knives, and peasants who farmed all day long have now been turned into elite soldiers who are not afraid of death. Even if he saw that his companion was dead, he would naturally have other people step forward to take the Divine Arm Bow in his companion's hand and continue to shoot deadly crossbow arrows at those damned Jianyu.
In the distance, the wild boar skin looked at the current battlefield, and his face immediately turned pale.
What did he see? In front of him, his Eight Banner warriors actually did not take the slightest advantage in this bow and crossbow shooting. Geng Shaonan, the little barbarian, actually took out a crossbow that could shoot two or three hundred paces, and his warriors were almost powerless to fight back.
In such a short time, on the battlefield, there were already almost one or two thousand warriors of their own who died under the bow and crossbow of Geng Shaonan's little barbarian.
"Geng Shaonan, little barbarian, the old man must kill you!" Wild Boar Skin cursed resentfully, "Who of you knows, Geng Shaonan's little barbarian, what kind of crossbow is used? ”
After cursing Gu Xiao in great annoyance, Wild Boar Skin once again focused his attention on the Eight Great Baylors beside him and asked. While resenting this crossbow, the boar skin also began to be full of greed for this crossbow, and wanted to take it for himself.
Most of the Eight Great Baylors shook their heads blankly, and only the old Eight Huang Taiji showed a thoughtful expression.
"Eighth child, do you know?" Wild boar skin asked.
"Amma, if I'm not mistaken, in the Song Dynasty, there was a kind of crossbow that could shoot two or three hundred steps away and break armor, called the Divine Arm Bow, also called the Divine Arm Crossbow. It's just that I heard that this kind of crossbow is expensive to build, and the barbarians themselves don't use it! Huang Taiji said hesitantly.
"You mean, Geng Shaonan, little barbarian, this crossbow that he took out now is the Divine Arm Bow?" Wild Boar Skin said impatiently.
Huang Taiji said hesitantly: "It should be." ”
"Humph!" Boar Skin snorted angrily, and then set his eyes on the battlefield again. At this moment, under the fearless charge of the Eight Banners, the distance of two or three hundred paces was finally filled by the corpses of their companions.
The distance between the two armies has now narrowed from 300 steps at the beginning to more than 100 steps. Moreover, at this moment, the warriors of the Eight Banners have begun to shoot in real battles, and the divine arm bow in the hands of those barbarians can no longer play as much of a role as it did at the beginning.
Gu Xiao closely watched the battle situation, at this moment, Jianyu's soldiers and horses had already narrowed the distance between each other to within a hundred steps, and his divine arm bow could no longer suppress Jianyu's cavalry in all directions as it did at the beginning, and the casualties of the crossbowmen were not small.
In just a few moments, there were already more than a hundred crossbowmen who had their eyes closed forever, and in addition, two or three hundred crossbowmen were wounded.
"The wind department retreats, and the fire department steps forward!" Seeing this scene, Gu Xiao ordered again.
Whoa! After hearing Gu Xiao's command that was infused with true qi, the crossbowmen of the Wind Department retreated from both sides of the phalanx like a cloud, revealing the Fire Troops behind them. (To be continued.) )
