Because of the rost formation set up by the Han army, the cavalry of the Wei army that was galloping can only be surrounded from three aspects.

Fu Hu, who was located in the front of the Queyue Formation, looked at the Wei army cavalry that had entered within a hundred steps. At this distance, Fu Hu could even see the expression of joy on the Wei army cavalry's face.

They were in joy, and the Han army was foolish again.

But before the thousands of Wei cavalry were happy, Fu Hu calmly raised the flag in his hand and then swung hard towards the thousands of Wei cavalry surrounding him.

The moment the flag in Fu Hu's hand fell, the Han army on the chariot, inspired by the majestic drum sound, took out the big yellow crossbows they carried.

Unlike the chariots that only carried soldiers in the Spring and Autumn Period, the chariots used by the Han army are larger in size, not only can carry more than 20 soldiers, but also can put down a powerful weapon to kill enemies.

That is the rhubarb crossbow.

As the most frequently used long-range weapon in ancient military, there are great differences between the two.

Compared with bows, crossbows have greater lethality.

Even at a long distance, the lethality of the crossbow shot by the large crossbow is still very terrifying.

Crossbows were widely used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. At that time, there were mainly four types of crossbows, namely: Jiabi, Thin, Tang, and Large.

During the Western Han Dynasty, whenever the infantry resisted the Hun cavalry, the Han infantry guarding the city and fighting in the field often used crossbows to kill and injure the Hun cavalry.

For example, when Li Ling led 5,000 infantry troops to encounter tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry in Junji Mountain, he relied on the power of crossbow arrows to greatly kill the Xiongnu cavalry.

And those who are good at crossbows in the world are as strong as crossbows, Jing Chu is the crown!

Most of the 5,000 infantry troops led by Li Ling were from Jingchu.

Now after hundreds of years of development, a strong yellow crossbow has appeared on the Jingchu land, which is already good at bows and crossbows.

The strong yellow crossbow is also called the yellow-shoulder crossbow. The strength of the crossbow in the Han Dynasty is calculated based on stones, divided into one stone to ten stones. Among them, the strongest ten stone crossbow is called the bright yellow crossbow.

Soldiers who use the rhubarb crossbow must be very strong, so that such people can use the rhubarb crossbow, and such people are currently gathered on these hundred chariots.

Under the command of Fu Zun's flag, hundreds of Han soldiers raised their carries of yellow crossbows.

The talented scholar of Jingchu, who was good at using crossbows, stood on the chariot at the same height as the Wei cavalry on the high-headed horse.

This allowed them to easily aim at the Wei cavalry rushing forward.

Even because of the three-way encirclement of thousands of Wei cavalry, the Han army on the chariot did not need to make detailed aims.

A moment later, under Fu Hu's command, hundreds of crossbow arrows flying out quickly and with cold murderous intent shot towards the Wei cavalry in front of them.

Most of the Wei cavalry present at present are equipped cavalry, and the combat methods of equipped cavalry are different from those of light cavalry.

The light cavalry troops may be deliberately scattered around, mainly by harassing and killing bows and arrows.

However, from the day the cavalry formed an army, it abandoned a certain degree of mobility and replaced it with unparalleled impact.

For example, Cao Cao used 5,000 iron cavalry to break through Liu Bei's infantry formation in Dangyang, for example, Cao Cao used 5,000 iron cavalry to resist Ma Chao in Liangzhou.

Therefore, the formations of the thousands of Wei army cavalry were very dense, which greatly strengthened in terms of objective conditions. The lethality of hundreds of crossbow arrows fired by the Han army.

The Wei army's iron cavalry were all wearing armor, but after hundreds of years of development of the Han Dynasty, crossbows and arrows have long become a weapon for the infantry to specifically restrain the cavalry.

In Chinese history, the crossbow arrows of the Great Yellow Crossbow have even been recorded in killing enemy generals from a distance, not to mention the Wei army's iron cavalry, which is less than dozens of steps now?

So when hundreds of powerful crossbow arrows rushed into the formation of thousands of Wei cavalry in the cold air, many of the Great Wei cavalry who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground.

When the war horses charge at high speed, even if the horse's cavalry is not shot to death by crossbow arrows, once they fall to the ground, the outcome may be even worse.

When many Great Wei cavalrymen landed on the ground, screams kept ringing in Xiahou Ba's ears.

Some of the screams were the pain of the cavalry when they were caught in an arrow, but more were the pain of the strong pain caused by the body hitting the ground after the cavalry landed.

What's more, after landing, many Wei cavalrymen were unable to dodge and were stepped by friendly horses rushing from behind.

The powerful impact force instantly caused the Wei cavalry who fell to the ground to squirt blood from his mouth and nose, and died on the spot.

It was because of his agile posture that Xiahou Ba barely avoided the first round of crossbow arrow attacks by the Han army.

When Xiahou Ba saw that the Han army had only one round of crossbow arrows attacked, he lost a lot of people. His contempt for the Han army instantly turned into anger.

Xiahou Ba looked at the Han soldiers who were continuing to arch their bows in front of him with his eyes boiling with anger. He had no intention of retreating.

It is well known to Jingzhou to be good at bowing and crossbows.

Before, when the Wei cavalry attacked the Han army's grain transport team, they were also attacked by many arrows.

It is true that those arrow attacks are not as good as the thousands of Han troops in front of them today, but this is still an expected damage.

At this time, tens of thousands of Wei cavalry gathered quickly from not far away had already appeared on this river bank.

Looking at the constant shouts and shouts around, Xiahou Ba, who knew that most of his side had arrived, felt great peace in his heart.

Even though he had lost a lot of people just now, the thousands of Wei cavalry he led were less than 100 steps away from the Han army's formation.

At this distance, with the high maneuverability of the war horse under the crotch, it can be reached with almost time to grit your teeth.

As long as these thousands of cavalry rushed to the Han army's army's formation, the impact force brought by their own speed was enough to tear the thousands of Han troops in front of them.

With this idea in mind, Xiahou Ba did not hesitate at all. He continued to lead the thousands of Wei cavalry behind him to rush forward.

And at this moment, Fu Hu in the moon formation gave a new order.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The big yellow crossbow is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of physical strength to soldiers.

So when the Han army finished shooting a round of crossbow arrows, the hundreds of strong men retreated from their chariots to rest.

Then thousands of archers who were originally standing behind hundreds of crossbowmen began to stand before the two armies.

After thousands of archers stepped forward, they raised their longbows and aimed at the thousands of Wei cavalry in front of them.

Unlike usual, the thousands of archers were bundles of bundles of arrows.

After the arrows on each Han army archer's hands were clustered, there were at least several arrows.

Xiahou Ba may think that the Han army in front of him was less than 3,000, but what he didn't know was that the Han army with less than 3,000 people were all veterans who followed him when Guan Yu was in the North Road.

In terms of physical strength, experience, and training level, these 2,700 Han soldiers are among the elite.

Only such elites can have the ability and confidence to adopt the method of killing enemies with arrows at a specific point in time.

When these thousands of archers who were talented in Jingchu were all elite, they drove the cluster arrows in their hands towards the Wei army cavalry that was rushing forward quickly.

After they pulled the longbow in their hands into the shape of a full moon with force, they shot out the cluster arrow in their hands without thinking.

With the number of speed-gathering arrows, this round of cluster arrow shooting caused great lethality to the thousands of Wei cavalry in front of him.

Thousands of Han army archers released at least thousands of arrows in this round of archery.

Moreover, these thousands of arrows were shot into the dense array of Wei cavalry when they were at their greatest power.

Coupled with the special structure of the Queyue Formation, these thousands of arrows almost covered the charge of the Wei cavalry.

When thousands of arrows were shot out in this round, a large number of Wei cavalry, which were less than ten steps away from the Kuyue Formation, almost fell down.

Thousands of screams began to appear in front of the two armies, and the tragic screams almost covered the rumble of the Wei army's iron cavalry on the ground.

The killing and injury of two rounds of crossbows at least caused thousands of Wei cavalry to lose their lives.

After all, the current Cao Wei cavalry had not yet reached the terrible level of defense in the form of iron pagoda in later generations of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

When thousands of Wei cavalry fell off their horses, this scene caused quite a lot of riots in the formations of thousands of Wei cavalry.

But before the riot spread, the tens of thousands of Wei cavalry who had arrived behind friendly forces began to push the front army to continue to come towards the Queyue formation.

The Cao Wei cavalry generals who led their troops to arrive, such as Cao Tai, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, Wen Qin, etc., had already seen that the cavalry in the front had arrived before the Han army formation.

In this case, the Han army's crossbows have lost their effectiveness.

Anyone can see that the Han army that can take cluster archery is definitely an elite.

The generals who can command such an elite Han army will definitely not have a low status.

Since the Battle of Xiangfan, the Great Wei Dynasty has needed a victory against the Han army.

Although I don’t know who the Han general was protected by the Han army formation, for basic judgment, if he could be captured, it would be a great achievement.

All the troops were defeated but their own troops achieved their first achievements. No general could resist this temptation.

What's more, they still have nearly 20,000 cavalry!

The losses were huge just now, but the Han army adopted some special skills. If they rushed forward, they would definitely be the winner in the end.

As all the cavalry generals held the same mentality, more and more cavalry of the Wei army began to converge towards this place.

But at this moment, under the command of two powerful generals Fu Hu and Liao Hua, the Han army on the chariot began to take out a special weapon with a strange shape.

This weapon is a bit like a spear or a spear, but it is longer.

This is a special weapon.

There are many different opinions on the origin of the spear, including the pre-Qin theory and the Han Dynasty. However, no matter which view is it, they all believe that the period when the spear really emerged was after the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

At present, spear is not a mainstream weapon in the army.

Many soldiers in the world do not recognize this kind of weapon of unique shape.

The spears in the hands of thousands of Han soldiers were made of hardwood, divided into two parts: the handle and the head of the spear.

The handle of the spear is generally six feet long, the head is a round hammer-shaped, and the head is filled with iron nails.
