Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 603 Xianbei's first wave of temptation

  The Xianbei people have arrived.

   Menacing, vicious.

   "Is this group of Han dogs crazy?" Da Baohu frowned, watching Huang Cheng's infantry fighting on the other side of the river.

It's not that the big pawnbroker has never fought against the Han army before, and of course he has encountered various situations, but the current situation has surprised the big pawnbroker. Although his troops have not been fully brought out, there are nearly 5,000 cavalry, Hundreds of Han troops want to stop it?

That's right, the position of the Han army is really embarrassing for me, and the speed of the horse will indeed be reduced when encountering water, but the difference in numbers and physical strength, even if the Han army has a geographical advantage, how long can it last? ?

  Da Danghu doesn’t believe that the general of the Han army on the opposite side is crazy, so it means that either the reinforcements of the Han people are coming, or there are other plans...

  But no matter which possibility it is, the big household has only one choice.

  The tidal flat across the river is too narrow for five thousand cavalry, but it doesn't matter, as long as there are cavalry who can rush into the assembled formation of the Han army, the formation of the Han army will be torn apart, and it has never been an exception for so many years.

When Da Danghu yelled a few times in Hu language, two centurions stepped out of the formation, walking at a leisurely pace, holding the horse's reins tightly with their left hand, and holding a saber or long spear with their right hand. Spear, leaning forward, minimizing the exposed area, and attacked the Han army formation on the other side of the river.

  The war horse trotted on the flat river beach at first, and then the speed became faster and faster, and soon entered the river channel. Although the water level dropped in autumn, it was only below the knees of the horses, but the soft river mud in the river bed and the non-stop flowing river water caused some troubles for the horses to move forward. came down...

The river bed of about thirty steps, even if it is dragged down by the mud at the bottom of the river, it does not take long to flow over. The horseshoes trampled chaotically, splashing water splashes, under the light of the noon sun It looks like a little bit of broken jade scattered around.

Under the sun, there are not only the colorful reflections of the water splashes, but also the sabers, spears and cold lights in the hands of the Xianbei people. When they get close, you can even see the tanned faces and yellow mouth exposed. tooth…

  The Han army stands quietly, like statues. Only the pairs of fighting eyes in the gap between the shield and the helmet prove that they are still a group of living people.

  Suddenly, a Xianbei cavalry who was just about to rush ashore suddenly seemed to have stepped on the ground, and the horse swayed and fell into the water. Before the other cavalry could react, several Xianbei cavalry fell down out of thin air one after another. The Xianbei cavalry behind them tried to dodge, and the whole formation was in chaos.

  Huang Cheng laughed in his heart, and thought to himself, as expected, what Mr. Fei Lang said was true!

At that time, when Fei Qian was casually chatting with Huang Cheng, he once said that on the flat ground, if there are not enough repelling horses for a while, and it is too late to dig a bigger trap, one can dig out densely on the ground. A shallow pit with a depth of about half a foot and a diameter the size of the mouth of a bowl is ineffective against infantry, but it can trap horseshoes...

Although it is said that the pit dug in the shallow water will collapse under the push of the water in an hour or two, and then it will be invalid, but now the Xianbei cavalry is really caught off guard. There is no way, whoever makes the horse is born with myopia Woolen cloth?

The Xianbei people obviously don't know what the situation is, and they don't know what is causing the horses to stumble one after another in the shallow water area. In a panic, they want to avoid their own people who fell in front of them, and some change directions, and some horses are strangled , The momentum of the entire charge was lost in an instant.

  Huang Cheng didn't care about complacency, and seized the opportunity to shout loudly: "Shield points! Bow and crossbow! Salvo!"

Every other person in the front row of heavily armored soldiers with shields took a step back obliquely, revealing rows of crossbowmen lined up behind the shields. , The arrows and crossbows drew trajectories in the air, shooting towards the chaotic Xianbei cavalry line!

The extremely sharp arrows and crossbow arrows are destined to tear and shatter some obstacles in the direction of flight from the moment they are shot, no matter if it is a rough Mage cloth, or a leather robe that has been depilated, or a leather robe that has been depilated. The warm horses and human flesh and blood, no matter what it is, will never stop until the last trace of strength of the arrow is exhausted!

The Xianbei cavalry at the front had almost no ability to resist under the rain of arrows and crossbows. The horse screamed, staggered, and fell to the ground, while the rider on horseback, being shot by the arrows, fell to the ground. After the crossbow arrows were shot, they didn't even have the chance to scream, and fell down on the river beach with the arrows, and the blood slowly spread out, staining the beach at this end layer by layer. Bright red.

The Xianbei cavalry in front were shot down, but the Xianbei cavalry in the back still did not stop. When Xianbei's own casualties began to appear, the cavalry team in the rear no longer cared about whether the horses in front would still be killed or not. With comrades in arms, there are only two paths in front of them, either to rush through this arrow array, or to be shot to death here alive!

  The Xianbei cavalry no longer hesitated, nor did they feel sorry for the horses. They whipped the horses frantically, and charged forward in the face of the rain of arrows!

Huang Cheng opened his bow, and under the strong bow like a crossbow, several Xianbei cavalry who had escaped a round of arrow rain were shot off by Huang Cheng. Although some of them might not die immediately, they were killed immediately The horse running behind stepped on the body, and half of the person fell into the mud on the river beach. It was obvious that he couldn't survive no matter what...

  The so-called three shots before the battle is the argument of the theoretical party. In fact, in reality, the power of the bow and crossbow is much more terrifying than most people imagine.

Since the Takahashi saddle was not used in the Han Dynasty, no matter whether it was the Han army or the Huns, no matter how skilled the rider was, no matter how good the evasion was, he could hide his body behind the body of the horse, but in the arrow rain in the cover mode Under the blow, as long as an arrow hits any part, although it may not be completely fatal, but whether the penetrating injury caused by the arrow or crossbow bolt stays on the body, this impact will shoot the rider off the horse, And directly abolish its ability to fight.

  Even if they were lucky enough to survive the battle, the soldiers injured by the arrows had no common sense of medical treatment and no so-called antibacterial drugs. Many soldiers and even generals would die in pain after the outbreak of germs and high fever...

   Someone actually told me that the current progress of the project is okay...

Ok…

   In fact, it's really okay...

   In the case of rarely working overtime at night...

   In the case of workers resting and playing cards every three days...

   When work is suspended from time to time to wait for supervision, project payment, quality inspection, and workers to ask for leave to go shopping...

   You ask where is the project manager?

   Either spanking with the little anchor or using pesticides...
