Chapter 490: Charge (I)
On the other side, the nomads also found out that Luo Ming was almost uninjured here, and they all showed gritted teeth, and found some reasons for "the first arrow was not in a state of being warmed up just now" to embolden themselves, and rushed over again.
But don't forget that Luo Ming is not a random target for the other party to shoot.
"Humph, boys, get ready to meet the enemy. Luo Ming glanced at the rushing horse team, and gave an indifferent order, "Three firepower in a row, double shotgun, and then fire freely!"
At the same time, he did not stay where he was and only focus on commanding, but picked up the hard bow and came to the front line.
"Let me show you, what is a foot bow and cavalry shooting!"
As he spoke, he drew his hard bow, which was very difficult for ordinary people, and after a simple aim, he threw the arrow in the direction of the herdsmen's horse caravan.
Due to the problem of posture, generally speaking, the bow that a person can shoot on a horse is not as good as the bow that can be fired while standing on the ground, and there is a difference in range and power, and cavalry and infantry often shoot against each other.
Luo Ming's strength is far beyond ordinary people, and he can throw arrows to a greater distance with higher power, although his archery skills are also second- or third-rate, and he sometimes misses the target when shooting fixed targets, but now there are more than 40 horses and more than 40 people on the opposite side! It would be ridiculous if such a big target could not be shot.
The arrow did not hit anyone, but it struck a horse by the neck, and went straight from the rear, and with a terrible wail, it tumbled to the ground, and the herdsman who was about to shoot the bow on its back was also thrown down.
The horses behind had no time to avoid them, so they trampled over the bodies of one man and one horse.
Lockin sighed at the fact that he had wasted another horse, and fired a second arrow from his bow.
This time it was the man and not the horse, and the herdsman fell off the horse's back with the shoulder of the arrow, and fell victim to the horse's hooves, but the horse was fine, and after finding that his rider had disappeared, it ran a few steps after the main army, and then ran directly to the side, out of the battlefield...... I think I can get it back afterwards.
At this distance, the nomads will finally be able to shoot arrows with their bows, and soon, a second rain of arrows will come, and this time, they have learned the lesson of the last time, and maybe they will make the weak arrows a little more threatening.
Therefore, Luo Ming did not hesitate to give the order to open fire.
The sound of rolling thunder sounded three times in a row, not to mention the projectiles that flew out, and the mere sound of this huge sound frightened the horses and people on the other side, and many of their arrows were shot in the wrong direction.
And many of them themselves didn't have the opportunity to see this scene - hundreds of hot projectiles, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, bloomed gorgeous red flowers on their bodies.
The nomads were unable to charge intensively on horseback, so their density was much lower than that of the infantry phalanx or the regular cavalry, and it was for this reason that a salvo of six tiger cannons was used in these three rounds, and only eleven of them were killed, and a few others could have been hit by shotguns, but they were not killed or seriously wounded.
Although the casualties can only be said to be a quarter, it is already a very painful blow for the nomads.
The whole team scattered at once, and some even tried to turn their horses' heads and run, but the first to flee was directly stabbed off their horses by a spear, and a middle-aged man wearing several layers of leather clothes and looking a little bloated was furious, driving them back into the battle and regrouping the group.
Luo Ming looked at it, the guy was wearing several layers of leather clothes, and he looked like he was about to turn into a ball, which was very funny, but Luo Ming knew that this was a method of using multiple layers of fur to temporarily replace armor, and he was relatively smart.
Moreover, the guy was still hiding in the last row, and it was difficult for either a shotgun or a bow to get past the people in front of him and hit him.
"Hmph, forget it. "What if you can't kill this guy?" Luo Ming shot the arrow again, and although it missed the leader, it hit one of the horses on the periphery, and the horses were so frightened that they almost knocked the rider off.
Although the rider eventually failed to fall off his horse, his bow fell to the ground.
If it goes on like this, sooner or later the herdsman's side will be killed by a long-range attack, and the leader naturally knows this truth, and after he roared a few unclear words, he immediately drove the horse team and charged further towards this side.
"Charge?" Luo Ming was slightly surprised.
And Aya's voice sounded in his mind at this time: "There are many possibilities, it is possible to prepare a desperate assault, it is possible to detour from both sides and shoot at close range, in short, don't be careless, strengthen your precautions." ”
"I see. After replying to her in his heart, Luo Ming put the bow and arrow aside, and then picked up the longsword with both hands.
"Hehe, this slender blade of two meters, coupled with a fighting spirit, should be able to cut out the effect of 'everyone and horses are broken'. ”
As he spoke, a smile of interest appeared on his face - although he had cut all kinds of things, it was the first time in his life that he had cut people and horses together.
As a martial artist, he will naturally get excited in the face of this situation.
Soon, the horse team was very close to the camp, and a few of them dismounted to try to demolish the camp, while others scattered and fired arrows into the camp.
The few people who released the arrows scattered on their horses, and even shotguns could not kill and injure many people at the same time.
It seems that the other party still has some brains...... Thinking of this, Luo Ming not only smiled.
Before he crossed over, even the NPC characters in the computer game were not completely brainless, following a set of fixed processes that were easy to see through, and did not think about correcting them.
It would be nice if the enemies were really NPCs, but I didn't wear the kind of stage prepared for Long Aotian, and everything still had to be dismantled and calculated by each other.
At least this time, you are well prepared and well-informed, and you will not lose in any way!
At this time, more than a dozen herdsmen rode their horses and rushed directly, as if relying on their good riding skills, ready to let the horses jump directly from the lower part of the chariot camp.
"Too tender, too naïve!" Luo Ming laughed and looked around at his soldiers.
Twenty soldiers with spears were arranged in two rows, the front row crouched down and put one end of the spear on the ground, and the other end was raised on the cart, forming a row of rejecting horses, while the second row raised the spears straight, the spear head was slightly higher, aimed directly at the chest and abdomen of the rider on the horse, and at the same time could attack the head and neck of the horse.
The sharpened, mirror-like spearhead reflected a cold light and exuded a dangerous aura.
