Chapter 425 Unbelievable, Qin Jun!(2/2)
Fifty feet away, after the first round of crossbow arrows were fired, the Hun cavalry in the front row fell on their backs. The queue was completely chaotic, blood spattered, and screams could not be heard.
After the cavalry fell, they became entangled with each other, and the charging speed immediately slowed down.
You must know that when the Qin army used the revolving crossbow, they did not give up the previous crossbow arrow attacks.
In other words, while the revolving crossbows were firing volleys, the Qin army also had crossbowmen who were releasing arrows simultaneously.
The density of arrows in the sky is indescribable.
It's like a heavy rain suddenly falling from the sky, covering your head and face.
There was no room to dodge because the arrows were too dense.
All Xiongnu tribes roared in unison and deployed various forces to resist.
But the power that exploded after the revolving crossbow was engraved with the secret text of origin... This round of arrow rain, the momentum of the Hun cavalry's brazen charge, was cut off in the middle.
The horses and soldiers of the Huns fell down in rows, causing chaos.
A Hun soldier was covered with dense arrows, his flesh and blood flying everywhere, his whole body was completely pierced by the arrows, and not an inch of his skin was intact.
He was shot by arrows until he almost disappeared, and his bones and flesh were all broken into pieces!
Then came the second and third round of pouring crossbows.
The rocker of the rear rotating crossbow forms a fixed rhythm.
On the hill, Heda seemed to have been pressed by the pause button. His body stagnated on the horse, and the blood on his face gradually faded away.
It wasn't that his tactics were wrong, the key was that the Qin army didn't tell him in advance that they were going to cheat.
He has never experienced this kind of tactics at all, and he has no way to prepare himself.
The Qin army's crossbow arrows were fired so densely, so quickly, and so destructively powerful!
incredible!
Before this battle, Heda would not have believed in the power of arrows, which could kill people alive and break them to pieces.
Why did the Qin army confront them head-on on the grassland!
Because this fifty-foot shooting attack could completely break the Huns' defenses, causing nearly half of them to be killed or injured, their morale would plummet, and their combat mentality would collapse.
After three rounds of arrow feathers passed by, the arrogance of the Huns' wild roaring had completely disappeared, and those who survived were left with only faces full of shock!
In the Qin army's rear formation, Li Mu's deputy general Liu Han also looked shocked.
It was also the first time for him to see the power of this new type of revolving crossbow. He swallowed to suppress his shock before saying:
"What a pity. There was not enough time to prepare for the battle. There were only so many crossbows and arrows produced. Otherwise, starting from a hundred feet away and firing more than five rounds, the battle might have ended with just one attack."
Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Fifty feet is the best distance. A hundred feet away will give the Huns time to react. Moreover, beyond a hundred feet, the array will be scattered, and the arrows will not be as lethal."
There was no look of relaxation on Li Mu's face.
The war has just begun!
When the Huns were in the rear formation, Heda looked ferocious and said in a hoarse voice: "Send the order, the rear troops are pushing forward, and then charge into the formation!"
At this time, the direction of the war situation was actually out of Luotangheda's control.
It stands to reason that the Huns suffered heavy losses and suffered a heavy morale loss under volley fire. He should withdraw his troops and make adjustments, after Xu Tu.
But he didn't dare!
The Xiongnu soldiers had been shot and pulled away, but the Qin army was not damaged at all.
How low the morale of the Xiongnu soldiers was, the morale of the Qin army was high.
What would be the result if an order was given to retreat at this time?
The result is that the Qin army will take advantage of the situation and press forward. The Huns will be beaten to a pulp and have no power to fight back. It would be easy for the entire army to be annihilated.
The only thing that made Luotian Heda feel fortunate was that he had many backup plans before the war started.
It is these backhands that keep this battle in suspense, and the Huns will not be completely defeated.
Woohoo!
The Xiongnu army formed a rear line, and the sound of trumpets sounded.
The following Huns soldiers pressed forward.
This time, Lulu Heda went south with a total of 300,000 troops. The charge just now was only for 100,000 Xiongnu front troops, not all of them.
At this moment, this army behind the Xiongnu has become a life-saving straw, the hope of turning defeat into victory!
More Xiongnu soldiers pressed forward. The Huns soldiers in the front row who were shot to pieces quickly retreated. The front formation changed to the rear formation, and the Hun soldiers in the back row rushed forward.
I have to say that these Xiongnu tribesmen are indeed very brave.
If it were another team, the casualties would be so heavy, and the mentality would have collapsed long ago.
But these nomadic tribes still dared to attack the Qin army.
Although the revolving crossbow is easy to use, it has a huge drawback - it costs arrows.
The Xiongnu cavalry pressed forward again, and the Qin army continued to suppress the crossbows. However, due to the short time of the revolving crossbow, the quiver and arrows specially made for it had been exhausted.
This time, the Huns also changed their tactics.
During the charge, they launched an offensive to harass the Qin army.
Among them, the shadows of the Guifang tribe warriors seemed to come to life and were moving apart.
At the same time, the shadows behind the lined-up Qin Army soldiers also changed, and phantoms stretched and emerged, like evil ghosts rolling towards the Qin Army.
Li Mu sneered: "It's just as your Majesty expected!"
