Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 600 War and Gamblers

  The power of the crossbow is fully displayed at this moment!

The sound made by the sharp crossbow piercing through flesh and blood was like a sharp knife point piercing a rubber water bag. Amidst the weird puffing sound, the Xianbei cavalry charging was like a small iron hammer being thrown out. As if it was hit, the speed of its high-speed movement was immediately strangled, and then collapsed!

  A row of crossbow arrows was shot, and the Xianbei cavalry rushing to the front seemed to be swept away by an invisible giant hand, and they were turned on their backs!

   Then follow the second row!

  The cavalry commander Xianbei Qian brought not many people in a hurry, so the number of people who were tested was less than a hundred. With such a small number, there is no way to break through the suppression of the crossbowmen...

  The strong crossbows of later generations can even be used to hunt black bears and wild boars. Even the strong muscles of black bears and the thick mud armor of wild boars are not immune to the penetrating damage of crossbow arrows, let alone ordinary people and horses.

  Although the crossbows of the Han Dynasty cannot be completely compared with the crossbows of later generations, their lethality is still the best among all individual long-range weapons.

The trained pawns did not shoot at the Xianbei cavalry rushing to the front, but each aimed at the Xianbei cavalry within the range directly in front of them. After one shot, they retreated in order, and then let the pawns behind them shoot. Shoot the second shot, and then the third person. At this time, I also opened the crossbow string with the string opener, pressed the crossbow bolt, and then came to the forefront again, aimed at the Xianbei cavalry directly in front, and slowly buckled With the hanging knife of the crossbow...

  One hundred and fifty strong crossbows, fifty crossbow bolts each time, one round of three people, and the second round has not been finished, as the tentative offensive Xianbei cavalry, there is no one who can ride horses...

   Those who were shot in the vitals have died, and some guys who don’t know if they are lucky or unlucky are lying on the ground and howling...

   Being hit by a crossbow arrow, within a hundred steps, all the people and horses fell down!

Although it was not so clear in the dark night, the miserable howls of the men and horses could be heard clearly. The cavalry commander Xianbei Qian took a breath. It seemed that it was just a few blinks. The Hundred Riders are not full of one hundred people, but the killing speed...

A lingering impression resurfaced in Xianbei Qianqichang's mind. He seemed to have heard an old man in the tribe talk about the Han army's powerful weapon, but he had never encountered it before, but he never thought of it Met here now.

Although the cavalry has a certain advantage in attacking the infantry, this advantage is not completely certain. If the infantry has some preparations, it is like the chariot formations most often used by the Han army, and cavalry cannot be crushed instantly. Yes, besides having an advantage does not mean that there will be no casualties. If the damage continues like just now, this is indeed unacceptable.

Cavalry Commander Xianbei Qian looked at the tragic situation in front of him, then at the torches in the distance, and finally at the shadowy figures in the darkness. In the dark night, even the Han army on the opposite side refused their horses, and were there any traps? I couldn't see clearly, so I didn't dare to act rashly after all, but I couldn't bear to retreat, so I had to send people to report the news to the big household, and sent some scout cavalry to the two sides, and then led the people From a distance, confront Huang Cheng...

   The best way to deal with the Han army's phalanx is not to attack head-on, but to outflank it from the sides and wings, or even go to the rear of the Han army to attack. It is already the middle of the night, and it may be dawn in another hour or two. Then, as long as the vision can be cleared by then, the cavalry advantage will return to his own hands.

   Therefore, Xianbei Qianqi waited quietly, like a pack of wolves on the grassland, staring at the opponent closely, waiting for the opportunity to come...

  ××××××××××××××

  After the messenger finished talking about the overall situation, the big household nodded to show that he understood, and then let the messenger go down first, while he began to think.

In fact, war and gambling are somewhat similar to a certain extent. Just like those gamblers who are eager to lose, they often bet on the gambling table at all costs, even their own lives. Now the big households in Xianbei are also facing this situation The only choice is to continue to gamble with all your capital, or to wait.

  The class rule of the Xianbei people is not like the social model of the Han Dynasty, but more like an alliance system between tribes. The big tribe controls the small tribe, but once the big tribe shows signs of decline, other tribes will take its place, which is very similar to the pattern of wolves on the grassland.

Originally, Xianbei wanted to use Pingding County as a gathering point. One was to use the victory of Pingding County to declare its powerful force to other Hu people, such as Qiang, Huns, and Wuhuan, and to wait for other Huns, as in previous years. The vassals of the Hu people came up and fought together, but now an inexplicable riot caused the original plan to be shattered.

  Da Danghu thought that if he waited any longer in Pingding County, he would probably become a joke.

The fact that the envoys have been sent for many days, but the Qiang and Huns have not been seen for a long time, shows that these two wall grasses are already shaky. Will fight with the Han people. As for the Wuhuan people who would basically participate in this year, they seem to have close contacts with a Han in Jizhou this year, so they only supported it in name, and actually did not move...

  In previous years, Xianbei was the main force in the south, and there were Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan cruising around, which made the Han people worry about one thing and lose another.

...

   What to do next?

  Da Danghu turned his head and asked, "How many horses have we recovered now?"

After running wildly for a while, the horses in the bombing camp found that they had not suffered any harm, and they would calm down slowly. They would gradually gather together when they heard the calls from the people in the familiar tribe. This is the horse on the grassland. The characteristics of the herd, never worry too much that the herd of horses will disperse...

  The subordinates immediately went to count, and then said: "Probably more than 5,000 came back, and some may have gone far..."

  Yes, it is possible that he ran away and was not found for a while, but it is also possible that he was abducted by the Han people!

  As long as the horses in front don’t stop, the horses behind will follow subconsciously. This is also the characteristic of grassland horses...

   This time, it was a great shame!

   If it’s not good, it’s not a big deal to become a joke in the tribe, but if you make your tribe a joke in the grassland, then...

  Da Danghu gritted his teeth, there are five thousand horses, enough!

  Although the Han people this time seem to be different from the ones I encountered before, it is not the custom of the Xianbei people to guard the city alone! The supplies of the Han people cannot be defended by defending the city, but they must be snatched by horses and swords!

The big household looked at the sky, and then said in a deep voice: "All the leaders immediately go back to rectify their own soldiers and horses, light a fire and cook, and leave after an hour if there are horses! Those who don't have horses will stay here temporarily to guard supplies and continue to search for lost horse!"

  Since I lost face on the battlefield, it is natural to get it back on the battlefield!

   Spit out...

   Where did all the food expenses go? !

   Stir-fried green peppers with mustard mustard every day!

   Get a piece of fish or a frozen fish, it will be raw when cooked!

   Even the money between the teeth has to be picked out to get some...

   This is really...

   Not to mention...

   At this stage, the Xianbei people don’t have Tuoba and Murong, but they have Kebi Neng…

   The entire Mongolian plateau has been in rotation, but the Qinghai-Tibet plateau has not changed much. After the Qiang people entered Tibet, they formed Tubo, which lasted for a long time...
