Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 432

Chapter 439

When Maodun had already decided to withdraw troops, the Donghu cavalry under the three city walls in the southeast and north rushed so fast that they were now less than [-] steps away from the city wall.

Two hundred steps.

The cavalrymen of Donghu frantically whipped their horses under their crotches, and many of the forwards had already entered the range of the strong crossbows of the Nine Plains Army.

180 steps.

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army with good eyesight on the city wall could even clearly see the fierce expressions on the faces of the Donghu cavalrymen, and of course fear.

"Buzz!"

The air seemed to suddenly start to tremble, and the moment it appeared there was an ear-piercing buzzing and screaming sound that made the scalp tingle.A long black cloud appeared above the city of Jicheng, it seemed to pause for a moment, then suddenly accelerated from the sky and rushed towards the Donghu cavalry who were galloping over.

Hearing the screams on the city wall, all the Donghu cavalry were startled, and immediately all the Donghu cavalry moved in unison.

He tightly hugged the neck of the war horse under his crotch, turned his body slightly, and hid under the horse's belly.

Whether it is the Huns or the Donghu.In the absence of solid armor and shields, facing the strong crossbows in the hands of the Qin army that have a range far beyond the strong bows in their own hands, this may be the only way to effectively avoid the killing of the Qin army's crossbows.

"Woooooo!"

The short and high-pitched sound of the huge horn suddenly resounded throughout Jicheng before the cloud of crossbow arrows penetrated into the Donghu cavalry.

Hearing the sound of the horn, all the Eastern Hu cavalry who were about to face the Qin army's crossbow attack really wanted to scold their mothers.

At the same time as the horn sounded, the Donghu people, who were carrying more than a hundred long ladders and were still desperately running, paused slightly, and then scrambled to turn around and retreat desperately.

After all, they couldn't forget the terrifying scene just now. If they continued to charge, they would definitely end up dead.

The large crossbow machines on the city wall of Jicheng did not attack the Donghu cavalry, firstly because of the short distance, and secondly because they were waiting for these Donghu infantry who were following behind the Donghu cavalry.

Although the Donghu infantry hadn't enjoyed the giant spears that shot down from the top of the city wall, just looking at the lush forest that suddenly grew under the city wall and the strings of men and horses nailed to the ground Donghu people, they can imagine the power of these giant crossbows.

The formation of infantry is obviously impossible to be as scattered as cavalry, and they cannot disperse.If you want to be attacked by a large continuous shooting crossbow machine, the damage you will suffer will be several times that of Donghu pawns.

No one wants to die.

The horn of the Donghu cavalry who wanted to scold the troops who were about to face the burst of crossbow arrows from the Nine Plains Army was like the sound of nature to the ears of these infantry.Naturally, run as fast as you can with the strength of breastfeeding.

A cloud of crossbow arrows composed entirely of eight-inch-long small black crossbow arrows rushed into the Donghu cavalry formation in an instant.

Blood sprayed, and people were turned on their backs.

If it is a frontal sprint, the Donghu soldiers still have a leather armor on the front, so it is not certain that they will die if they are shot by arrows.

But there is no protective measure behind them, relying on their flesh and blood to carry those arrows, the final result is unpredictable.

The Donghu cavalry who rushed into the range of the Jiuyuan Army's strong crossbow immediately suffered a devastating blow. The dense cloud of crossbow arrows easily broke through the simple sheepskin robes of the Donghu cavalry, tore their skin and muscles, and penetrated into them. body of.

Although the Donghu cavalry who hid in the neck or under the horse's belly avoided these deadly crossbow arrows, the horses under their crotches could not run away.The horses were turned into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows that fell from the top of the city, and they were killed without even hissing in a hurry.

The war horse died, and the Donghu cavalry hiding under the horse's belly also could not escape.The galloping horses fell to the ground and caused no less damage to the Donghu cavalry under the horse's belly than the cute black crossbow arrows of the Jiuyuan Army, even if they could not survive or die.

The original blue-yellow ground where the Donghu cavalry was located was instantly replaced by a piece of black, and of course blood red.

Not all the Donghu cavalry had entered the range of the Jiuyuan Army's strong crossbow, because they were scattered, and naturally some people fell behind.

The Donghu cavalry, who had fallen behind and thought they were unlucky, felt very happy when they saw the miserable situation ahead.Turn the horse's head and run to the front.

The sudden withdrawal of the Huns was beyond the expectation of the Jiuyuan Army. After all, judging from the charge of the Donghu cavalry just now, it is obvious that the Huns really wanted to attack the city, not to test it.

In the wave of crossbow arrows just now, almost none of the Donghu cavalry who entered the three walls of the city ran away. They were either shot into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows, or crushed to death or maimed by the fallen horses.

Three walls, a wave of crossbow arrows killed at least 1 cavalry horses who entered within two hundred steps of the city wall.

Seeing that after the sound of the horn, the Hun cavalry who had been running desperately turned their horses and fled back.The rapid sound of war drums suddenly sounded from above the city wall of Jicheng.

The crunching sound that made people's teeth sore resounded on the city wall.

Originally, Zhang Xian was ready to fire the large bursts of fire following the cavalry's buttocks. Under the operation of the Jiuyuan Army soldiers, they adjusted their positions one after another, aiming at the Donghu cavalry who were retreating.

The Donghu cavalry ran very fast, and the distance of hundreds of steps passed in the blink of an eye.

Just after a distance of five hundred steps, the large continuous shooting crossbow machine on the city wall made another loud bang.

Nearly [-] giant crossbows once again scrambled towards the retreating Donghu cavalry.

When the Donghu cavalry ran out of the range of the Qin army's large continuous shooting crossbow machine, the distance of more than a thousand steps was no less than a year for the Donghu cavalry.

Whenever there was a bang on the wall behind them, the only thing Donghu cavalry could do was to beg for the blessing of Changshengtian.Then he closed his eyes and desperately urged the war horse under his crotch.

By the time all the Donghu cavalry returned to the main formation, half of the [-] cavalry charging had disappeared.

The remaining [-] Donghu cavalry were also devastated.That buzzing, that bang is no less than the sound of ecstasy to everyone.

After a short battle of less than half an hour, of course it can also be called a one-sided massacre.

So much was lost without even getting close to the city wall. The advantage of the Qin army's weapons cast a shadow on the hearts of the Hun generals who were rejoicing because of the retreat of the Jiuyuan army.

Mao Dun has been standing in the big tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the map in front of him, even if he heard about the heavy losses of the Donghu people, he didn't show the slightest sign.No one knows what the great Mo Dun Shanyu was thinking.

The great Mao Dun Shanyu was silent, and the rest of the Huns generals in the big tent dared not speak.The atmosphere in the big tent was suddenly extremely gloomy.

Mao Dun, who was looking at the map, suddenly said: "Deploy another team of [-] people, bypass this Jicheng, enter the hinterland of Liaodong, go all the way east, all the way west, go when you encounter a strong city, and attack a weak city , I don't believe that the Qin people can arm all the cities to such a degree."

"Obey, great Shan Yu."
