Tens of thousands of flickering wolf fang arrows were like tens of thousands of life-urging sigils, which made the Thorn Tower cavalry feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cavalry usually used unilateral stirrups, which only made it easier for the knights to get on and off their horses. Yuan Qi moved the bilateral stirrups, horseshoes and Takahashi saddles, which were developed only later, to his army, so that his cavalry had the ability to stand upright on horseback. The bilateral stirrups are suitable for the cavalry to exert force on both legs at the same time, which can support the body strength of the cavalrymen, so that they can exert all their strength in the process of shooting, so that the running is more accurate and more penetrating.

If the cavalry of the Heavenly Return Army just now had shocked the Thorn Tower cavalry, now the Flying Dragon Army's rush has simply made the Thorn Tower people directly attack the bunker. Galloping, as the name suggests, is to ride on horseback to complete accurate archery movements, this difficult action, in the era of unilateral stirrups, is really a difficult action. Knights have to rely on the strength of their legs, clamp the belly of the war horse, stabilize their bodies on the horse's back, and at the same time, they must also be distracted to ensure that the upper body is straight and still, and complete the archery through the strength of the arms.

Moreover, the stunt of running and shooting is unique to the Xin barbarians, and only the Xin barbarians can complete the running as ordinary soldiers with their super physique cultivated by their experience of living on horseback for generations and their perennial nomadic life. But it doesn't mean that all Xin barbarians can shoot, only a few Xin barbarians with excellent physical fitness and excellent riding skills can do it.

But now, the 10,000 Wyvern Army has unbelievably completed the action of the premise of rushing at the same time. How could this not shock the Thorns!

One of the leader of the Thorn Tower rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and asked his heart: "Is this a rush? When will the Han people be able to run?" The leader tried to find the other leaders around him, but when he asked, he found that the other leaders around him had turned their horses and galloped behind them. The leader of the Thorn Tower, who was a little slow to react, finally reacted, under the rush of ten thousand people. Didn't he stay where he was, waiting to be shot like a hedgehog?, and the leader hurriedly turned his horse's head, and the last one ran to the rear.

The pathetic leader of the Thorn Tower had barely run a few steps away when he heard a gut-wrenching sound of Pemba behind him. He knew that the enemy was shooting. It's officially begun. With the sound of the bowstring vibrating incessantly. More than 10,000 sharp arrows were shot into the sky, and after reaching the very top of the parabola, they suddenly tilted, and then fell towards the Thorn Tower. Some people will ask, the Flying Dragon Army has only 10,000 people, but why did it shoot more than 10,000 sharp arrows? Because the predecessor of the Flying Dragon Army was the Flying Bear Guard of the Wolf Rider of Bingzhou, the White Horse Yicong, and Dong Meng. These three cavalry, respectively from Bingzhou, Youzhou and Xiliang, are all places rich in cavalry, therefore. The current Wyvern Army can be said to be the most elite cavalry in history, in this elite, many people can shoot with one stone and two eagles, especially when the Thorn Tower people are very dense and do not need to deliberately aim at all, the Wyvern Army naturally uses the technique of multiple arrows to shoot continuously, in order to kill the Thorn Tower people to the greatest extent. At this moment, even the light scattered by the sun in the sky was temporarily obscured by the arrows shot by the Wyvern Army, leaving the people of the Thorn Tower in a dark place, just like their mood at the moment, and there was no hope in sight.

With a scream, the unresponsive leader of the Thorn Tower was pierced through the back of his heart by a sharp arrow that fell from the sky, and the tip of the arrow pierced through his chest, cutting off all his life. He was fortunate to be the witness of the highest status under the first run of the Wyvern Army. With his own blood and life, he witnessed the terrifying power of the Wyvern Army's shooting.

After the first round of shooting, the Wyvern Army led by Qi Tian had already completed a third of the sprint, and the remaining distance could still allow them to perform a round of shooting. As a result, the tooth-aching sound of string pulling creaked again, and tens of thousands of wolf's tooth arrows took the bowstring, showing a life-threatening cold glow towards the Thorn Tower. Then, with a second sound of Peng Peng's vibration, the wolf's fang arrows shot into the air again, and then turned sharply, effectively inflicting damage on the Thorn Tower cavalry.

After three rounds of shooting by the Heavenly Return Army and the Flying Dragon Army, the Thorn Tower Cavalry suddenly fell into incomparable chaos, and under these three rounds of arrow rain, the casualties of the Thorn Tower people have reached tens of thousands, and almost every three arrows will take away the fresh life of a Thorn Tower Man! This shows how accurate the archery skills of the Heavenly Return Army and the Wyvern Army are. Of course, one of the reasons for such a brilliant result is also due to the poor equipment of the Thorn Tower people and the lack of iron armor.

The dozen or so Thorn Tower leaders who had fled to the center of the Thorn Tower army began to be angry! They had an army of nearly 200,000 people, but they were pressed and beaten by only 60,000 enemy troops, and they also lost the lives of tens of thousands of people in an instant, which was simply a great shame! Therefore, they began to order their own tribe's soldiers and horses to meet them, and with the advantage of numbers, they tore the enemy army in front of them to pieces.

Soon, the 100,000 cavalry, who were in the rear of the Thorn Tower camp and did not suffer from the chaos, bypassed the chaotic front army one after another, galloped to the front of the battlefield in a roundabout way, and launched a fierce attack on the Yuan Qi Division. Facing the impact of 100,000 Thorn Tower cavalry, Zhao Hu and Qi Tian once again made a move that surprised the Thorn Tower people, they even led their subordinate cavalry in unison, and after turning an arc, they ran towards the camp of their own army, without the slightest intention of confronting the Thorn Tower cavalry.

At the same time as the Tiangui and Feilong armies retreated, the Digui army, under the leadership of Ma Yue, had already come to the forefront of the battle array, and the dozens of objects covered with red cloth were also pushed over by them. After Ma Yue's order, the elite of the Digui Army lifted the red cloth on it, revealing the terrifying ballistae inside! That's right, it was the red-clothed ballista that had been improved several times by Wang Yezi and Ma Jun!

On the red-coated ballista, five crossbow bolts have been erected, two long and three short, scattering a desperate light, arranged on the tension wings of the red-coated ballista. Seeing these crossbow arrows, the bloodthirsty madness in the eyes of the Earth Returning Army became even stronger. The corners of Ma Yue's mouth lifted a grim smile, and he loudly ordered the first salvo of the red-clothed ballista since it came out!

There were only eighty red-clothed ballistae that were transported to the battlefield by the returned army, and each ballista had five crossbow arrows, which added up to only four hundred crossbow arrows, which sounded far less shocking than the ten thousand people of the Flying Dragon Army, but the actual situation was not like this. With Ma Yue's order, the Di Gui army was divided into groups of ten, each of whom operated the eighty red-coated ballistae quickly, while the rest were guarding near the red-coated ballista, and took out spare crossbow arrows, ready to change the guard with the companions who operated the ballistas.

The sound of the red-clothed ballista firing crossbow bolts was like thunder. Four hundred crossbow arrows shot out with strong force, and in an instant, in the direction of the red-coated ballista, it immediately turned into a vacuum, and the Thorn Tower cavalry, even their men and horses were pierced into pieces by the powerful crossbow arrows, and they didn't even let out a few screams, and they were taken away by the crossbow arrows of the red-coated ballista. Those crossbow arrows, which were as thick as children's arms, often pierced the bodies of a dozen Thorn Tower cavalrymen in a row, until the crossbow arrows were loaded with too many corpses, and the piercing stopped due to the consumption of strength. Those crossbow arrows the size of a long sword can also pass through the bodies of four or five Thorn Tower Cavalry in succession, causing significant damage to the Thorn Tower Cavalry.

A round of artillery fires caused thousands of casualties among the Thorn Tower Cavalry, and more importantly, the Thorn Tower Cavalry who were launching a charge, how could they have ever seen such a powerful and terrifying battlefield killing weapon? Their courage was heavily chiseled by the red-coated ballista, and the sprinting war horses, under their fear, collectively slowed down the speed of the sprint.

The Thorn Tower cavalry slowed down, giving the Terrestrial Army more time. The returning army who had completed a cannon shot immediately retreated, gave up the operation of the red-clothed ballista to his comrades, and went to prepare new crossbow arrows. The comrades who had been waiting for a long time immediately filled in as their teammates retreated, loaded the bolts in their hands onto the ballista's wings, and then quickly completed the process of loading, winding, and aiming.

The red-coated ballista is hugely powerful, and the operation process is relatively simple, only ten people are needed to complete it, but due to the limitations of the times, the ballista of this era cannot be like the artillery of later generations, which can fire at will without restrictions. There needs to be a pause between each firing, which is the only thing that Yuan Qi is not satisfied with with the red-coated ballista. Through the efforts of Wang Yezi, Ma Jun and others, the firing interval of the red-clothed ballista was shortened to a hundred breaths, which is equivalent to about two minutes in later generations, two minutes sounds very short, but on the rapidly changing battlefield, there is a possibility of a turnaround in one second, let alone two minutes? But Yuan Qi also knew that he could not ask for too much, especially for this kind of advanced weapon that spanned hundreds of years of eras, it was already the limit to be able to reach the current level.

Of course, Yuan Qi also had his own way, he asked Ma Yue to lead the return army after being familiar with the performance of the ballista, and decided to let the return army operating the ballista be divided into two teams and take turns firing the artillery. While one team is operating the ballista, the other team needs to prepare the next round of crossbow arrows, so as to shorten the time from loading to launch, Yuan Qi's decision makes the firing interval of the red-coated ballista a full thirty breaths!

Soon, the second team of returning troops completed the loading and skillfully operated the red-coat ballista for the second round of shelling. Another four hundred crossbow bolts of different thicknesses roared out of the crossbow wings, inflicting considerable damage on the Thorn Tower cavalry in the other direction, and another vacuum appeared on the battlefield.
