Acting for the gods

Chapter 141 Ten Thousand Arrows Are Fired
In Hauge's mind, as long as he can hold off this wave of Ming army for a while, the opponent will be unable to escape.

He thought that with 5000 battle-tested Zhenghongqi soldiers, it was still possible to hold back [-] troops. Compared with cavalry battles, Houjin had always been stronger than Daming.

Seeing the cavalry of Zhenghongqi rushing forward, Jiang Fan drew out the magic knife Qianblade and shouted: "Crescent formation!"

With Jiang Fan's order, three thousand Jinyiwei surrounded from the two wings.

The gunners of the Two Thousand Divine Machine Battalion were in the middle to support them.

Zhenghongqi's troops formed a triangular formation and launched an attack on the Ming Dynasty army.

Soon the distance between the two sides was shortened to 500 meters. In Hauge's view, this distance is still a safe distance. It is impossible for Ming's firearms and crossbow bolts to shoot here.

The Eight Banners cavalry are good at riding and shooting. As long as the Ming army advances 200 meters, they also advance 200 meters, and immediately order random arrows to be fired.

At this time, Hauge was even laughing in his heart whether these Ming people had a problem with their brains, and actually sent Jin Yiwei to the battlefield.

The key point is that these Jinyiwei are still wearing flying fish suits, not even armor or helmets, so they dare to go to the battlefield like this, they are looking for death.

Hauge could already imagine the scene where the other party was shot off by random arrows, and even felt that the other party was so stupid that maybe his Zhenghong Banner could annihilate him before the reinforcements arrived.

But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

Hauge still underestimated the combat quality of Jiang Fan leading the army.

Although the Sanqian Jinyiwei didn't wear any armor or helmet, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in their hands was a lethal weapon on the battlefield.

At a distance of 500 meters, it has already entered the effective killing range of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

Jiang Fan roared: "The first pair of consecutive shots, empty the arrow clip!"

The crescent formation formed by three thousand brocade guards was divided into three groups, and the army formation maintaining the crescent shape moved forward.

The Thousand Jinyi Guards at the front raised their Godly Zhuge Crossbows one after another, aiming at a 45-degree angle.

"What do they want to do?"

Hauge felt that something was wrong, and found that the Jin Yiwei had weird weapons in their hands.

【Could it be a firearm newly researched by Daming? 】

Hauge murmured to himself, but he couldn't figure it out, except artillery, what weapon could shoot this distance?
He didn't order the soldiers to stop advancing, but just ordered his men to continue moving forward, trying to kill through Daming's army and take the lead.

At this moment, all the thousand royal guards had adjusted their angles and pulled the trigger on the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

"Whoosh whoosh!!!"

Suddenly there were bursts of whistling in the sky, and countless crossbow arrows shot down like raindrops.

Although there were only a thousand Jin Yiwei shooting, under continuous shooting, each person could shoot twelve crossbow arrows in just three seconds.

The 1000-man Jinyiwei just shot a thousand arrows at once. The key is that the distance and lethality are far beyond Hauge's imagination.

"Crossbow arrows? How is it possible!"

The Zhenghongqi led by Hauge was still waiting to start shooting within the effective range. As a result, the sky was full of arrows, and everyone's face was ashen, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

It's not like they haven't seen Daming's crossbows before. Ordinary crossbows can only shoot five to sixty meters, and better bows can only shoot a hundred meters away.

As a result, Daming's crossbow arrows flew towards him more than 500 meters away, it was frantic.

This is simply a devastating blow to them.

"Quick dodge...quick dodge!!"

Hauge shouted loudly, he really didn't expect what happened in front of him.

It may be too late.

The crossbow arrows fell mercilessly, and almost every two arrows could kill a bannerman on the spot.

After these crossbow arrows were fired, they were very fast, and they reached the target position almost in the blink of an eye. Some shot on the banner man, some shot on the horse, and some fell and shot on the ground.

But no matter where it is shot, there will be a muffled sound, which shows that it is full of strength.

Hauge swung his knife to block, but the rain of arrows was dense and powerful. Even if Hauge was not weak, it was difficult to parry. Although Hauge avoided the vital points, he still got an arrow on his shoulder and thigh, and the horse under him was shot. Several crossbow arrows shot and fell to the ground on the spot.

Two thousand positive red flags killed and wounded almost overnight.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was silent.

This is just the effect of one round of attack.

Originally, the crescent array arranged by Jiang Fan could shoot alternately in three rounds.

Relying on the characteristics of the Zhuge Godly Crossbow's long range and quick arrow change, it can almost take turns to shoot alternately.

Jin Yiwei, on the other hand, has two riders per person, carrying twenty arrow clips, and each arrow clip has twelve crossbow arrows.

After the first round of shooting, Jin Yiwei at the front slowed down his horse and began to retreat to the rear to reload his arrow clips.

Jin Yiwei of the second team stepped forward and started shooting.

When the distance was 200 meters, Zhenghongqi could no longer see a person who could stand or ride a horse, and only a small number of living horses kept whining!
Hauge fell off his horse, his leg was pinned down by the horse, and he was injured, making it difficult to move, and his whole body was in pain and numbness.

Looking at the soldiers who followed him turned into corpses in a blink of an eye, their bodies were full of crossbow arrows, like hedgehogs, Hauge felt frightened and angry.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in my mind: "This is not a war, this is a massacre!"

At the age of 12, Hauge followed Huang Taiji to fight everywhere, including Mongolia and North Korea, and there were no less than a hundred battles, large and small.

But I have never seen such a terrifying scene.

It was only the first round of attack by the Ming army, and his two thousand soldiers were almost wiped out. It was too terrifying!
Seeing the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Hauge felt unprecedented fear. Once the Ming army mass-produces this kind of crossbow and puts it on the battlefield, there will be no way for them to survive!
Not only Hauge was shocked, in fact Lu Wenzhao and other Jin Yiwei were also shocked by the scene before them.

They all knew the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, but this was the first time it was put into the battlefield, and it was really frightening that the strong captives would be wiped out in an instant.

"Jin Yiwei collects crossbow arrows and cleans the battlefield, and Shenji Battalion goes forward to replenish their guns, leaving no one alive!"

Jiang Fan rode his horse galloping, swung the magic knife in his hand, chopped off the flag of Zhenghongqi with one knife, then got off his horse, and chopped off Hauge's head with one knife.

He didn't know Hauge, but judging from the clothes on the other party's body, he could tell that he was the leader of the positive red flag.

What these Zhenghongbanners did in Qinglong Village was beyond redemption, and Jiang Fan had no intention of letting them leave alive from the very beginning.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were ordered to raise their guns one after another, quickly turned over and dismounted, regardless of whether these people who were facing the red flag were shot by crossbow arrows or not, they would be shot in the forehead.

"Bang bang bang" gunshots sounded one after another, echoing in the plain like a death knell for death.

Some banner people who survived by chance wanted to pretend to be dead and escape, but seeing this situation, they were almost scared to pee.

Some begged for mercy in the language of the Jurchens, and some wanted to resist, but none of the people in the Shenji Camp had this intention, and they were all shot on the spot.
