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

Chapter 437 Preparations before the charge
Chapter 444 Preparations before the charge
All around the strict steel hedgehog phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army, hundreds of passages with a width of several feet were all set aside. Carriages pulling large continuous shooting crossbow machines drove out of the setback passages and appeared in the surrounding area. The perimeter of the square hedgehog phalanx.

There are a total of two hundred large continuous shooting crossbow machines.

Thousands of soldiers of the original army quickly and swiftly unloaded the large crossbow machine from the carriage, and then led the horses pulling the cart into the square formation, and placed two hundred empty carriages end to end, forming a square formation. The surrounding periphery cannot block the place where the large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine is launched.

Although there are not many of these carriages, they can still serve as the first obstacle to stop the Huns cavalry from charging.

While thousands of soldiers were orderly adjusting the large continuous shooting crossbow machine, thousands of Jiuyuan Army soldiers rushed out from the channel that was split in the phalanx. Most of these soldiers wore deerskin gloves, and each of them carried A seemingly heavy sack.

These soldiers ran very fast until they were a hundred steps away from the phalanx, and then took out a handful of copper nails, copper thorns and other things that could damage the horseshoes and prevent the cavalry from charging, and randomly threw them on the ground. on the wilderness.

At this moment, the Xiongnu cavalry was less than four miles away from the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army.After a while, it will enter the firing range of the large continuous firing crossbow machine.

But whether it was the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were debugging the large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine, the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were splashing copper thorns, or the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were in formation, no one panicked, and they didn't even seem to hear that at all. The deafening roar of horseshoes.

Debugging the crossbow machine, throwing thorns and throwing thorns, arraying arrays.The only difference is that there is a flame brewing and burning in the eyes of every Jiuyuan Army soldier.

The Jiuyuan Army has never been afraid of fighting and killing, shrouded in horse leather, let alone the barbarians of the Huns.At this moment, he performed vividly.

Three miles!

Thousands of Jiuyuan Army rushed a hundred steps away to throw copper thorns and other things, quickly threw away the copper thorns and other things in the sack, and then turned around and rushed towards the phalanx without looking back.

They were not afraid of the coming Hun cavalry, but they were worried that they would block the large continuous shooting crossbow.Not being afraid of the Huns does not mean that you are willing to be shot into a sieve by your own people.

Two miles!

At this distance, the outermost soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army's phalanx could even see the hideous eyes of the Huns cavalry who were rushing towards them.After the left and right wings of the Huns cavalry circled a small semicircle, they were about to complete the encirclement of the [-] original troops.

Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Huns cavalry, the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx could not see any emotion on the faces of the Jiuyuan Army soldiers except for the more rapid sound of the rumbling war drums.

No commotion, no fear, no timidity.

It seemed that what they were facing were not hundreds of thousands of Huns and barbarians, but just a few wild dogs.

Eighteen hundred steps!

One thousand six hundred steps!

"Bang bang!"

The continuous and dull bangs sounded one after another from all around the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx!

With a sharp whistling sound, the thick crossbow bolt, which was more than one foot long, crossed the distance of 800 meters in an instant and entered into the densely packed Hun cavalry group fiercely!
Amidst the deafening sound of horseshoes, no screams of the Huns could be heard at all.Because they were either dead the moment they were pierced by the giant crossbow arrows, or they were thrown into the body by the crossbow arrows and flew off their horses and fell to the ground and were trampled to death by countless Hun cavalry who followed.

Hundreds of giant crossbow arrows plowed hundreds of blood grooves in the densely packed Hun cavalry group.

Two hundred large continuous firing crossbow machines.

There are three giant crossbow bolts on a crossbow machine.

Add up to only [-] crossbow bolts.

However, the damage caused by these six hundred giant crossbow bolts exceeded the damage caused by the two thousand crossbow bolts at Jichengtou in the first battle yesterday.

The densely packed Huns cavalry had no way to dodge when they were running wildly, and they couldn't dodge, because they were surrounded by people, densely packed.The only thing he can do is to beg for the blessing of Changshengtian while watching the giant crossbow bolt pass through his body, and then penetrate the Hun cavalry behind him.

Hundreds of blood grooves, at least nearly [-] Huns cavalry died under the first wave of crossbow arrows.

But this is just the beginning.The fallen horses and the Hun cavalry flying upside down in a string of giant crossbow arrows made many Hun cavalry not in a hurry to stop, so they could only ride their horses into them.

People turn their backs.

It seems that the Hun cavalry directly killed by the giant crossbow bolts did not have as much additional damage as derived from this.In all the places taken care of by large-scale continuous shooting crossbows, the formation of the Huns cavalry was in chaos.

However, it was just a mess in the place taken care of by the large continuous shooting crossbow machine.There are really too many Huns cavalry, and two hundred large continuous shooting crossbows are really too few.There are more Xiongnu cavalry in places that have not been attacked by large-scale continuous shooting crossbows, and they are still quickly approaching the infantry phalanx of the Nine Plains Army.

At this time, the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Xiongnu had completely closed up, cutting off all the retreat routes of the [-] infantry of the original army.Hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry completed the encirclement of [-] infantry of the Jiuyuan Army.

Of course, [-] original army infantry gathered together.It does take up a lot of space on flat ground.However, it is naturally impossible for the more than [-] Xiongnu cavalry to surround them, and there cannot be so many people standing around them, so they cannot use them.

In fact, the 30 Donghu cavalry surrounded the Jiuyuan Army.Even the 30 Eastern Hu cavalry, Maodun, only dispatched 20, and there were 10 Eastern Hu cavalry and more than [-] Xiongnu elite cavalry in the rear.

Originally 20 Xiongnu elite cavalry was dispatched by Modun to a team of [-] people, and they had already bypassed Jicheng yesterday.

Prepare to enter Yuyang and Youbeiping counties to plunder.These counties are not Jicheng, and basically there is no force in these counties that can pose a threat to a Huns cavalry with a team of [-].

Looting is a very lucrative job, especially when robbing Qin people without danger.Any thing of the Qin people is a valuable thing on the prairie.Such a good thing, Modu will naturally only leave it to his own Huns, not to the Donghu people.

Amidst the roar of horseshoes all over the sky, 20 Donghu cavalry formed a huge encirclement circle and rolled towards the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army.

The large continuous firing crossbow machines in the infantry phalanx of the Nine Plains Army never stopped firing.

The wilderness is the most suitable place for large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machines to exert their power.Because there is no problem with the angle of the city wall, just shoot flat.

As the distance between the two armies approached, the Donghu cavalry who were crushing over became more and more dense.And as the distance between the two armies got closer, the power of the large-scale continuous shooting crossbow machine became more and more powerful.
