Chapter 3528: The powerful crossbow counterattacks and the enemy cavalry retreats
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth and opened his eyes angrily. He knew that if he had been a step slower in escaping just now, it would probably have been the fate of this soldier. Either he would be hit by a sandbag and stabbed to the ground, or he would be completely let out from behind. The enemy's cavalry archers pierced the heart with one arrow. Now, the enemy began to destroy the defense line of sandbags, and the cavalry archers were also using bows and arrows to kill the evacuating soldiers one by one. The tactics must be changed!
Shen Tianzi yelled: "Everyone get down, don't run!"
His voice was like a thunderous bell, spreading throughout the battlefield, and almost at the same moment, all the running Mo Dao dead soldiers all jumped, swooped and slid to the ground. From a distance, they looked like a giant Two hundred sergeants were hit by arrows at the same time and fell to the ground.
At the same time as Shen Tianzi roared, many armored cavalrymen at the sandbag wall 20 or 30 steps away also reacted. Although the foreigners couldn't understand Chinese, they also understood that this guy with a loud voice must be It was the commander of the Jin army. He pointed at the dead horse and yelled: "Shoot for me, shoot for me!"
Following Bierhan's order, at least thirty or forty arrows were shot at the dead horse in an instant. On the horse's back and body, the arrows were like a gathering of hedgehogs. At this distance, they could not match the strength of the knights. With the strength of the bow, the vest was easily pierced. If the muscles on the horse's body were not well developed, and the muscles blocked most of the arrows that passed through the armor, I am afraid that even Shen Tianzi, who was hiding in the horse's belly, would have Pierced by thousands of arrows.
The arrowheads of at least twenty arrows can be vaguely seen from inside the horse's abdominal cavity. Some of them can clearly be seen emerging from the white broken bones after breaking the bones. There are also two or three arrows with the strongest power, and even more. There is a small half of the arrow sticking out. If you press harder, you might be able to hit Shen Tianzi. The power of these arrows is so terrifying!
But Shen Tianzi didn't care to look at the power of these arrows. He turned to the spear phalanx behind and roared: "Shoot for me, eight ox crossbows, four stone bows, damn them all!"
The spear phalanx suddenly put away dozens of spears standing like hedgehogs, and six or seven eight-stone bull-running crossbows that had already been loaded with crossbows were pushed forward at once. At this moment, it was During the period when the armored cavalry archers were reloading their arrows, when they raised their heads and prepared to shoot again, they discovered that amidst the banging sound of sledgehammers, seven terrifying crossbows were already flying towards them. Already.
"Pop!", four crossbows accurately hit four armored cavalrymen, knocking the knights flying backwards. Another one hit a horse that was frantically sweeping the sandbags with its spear. Wanting to completely destroy the sandbag wall in front of him, and then charge forward with his horse, the horse was driven in from the chest and came out from the side of the horse on the other side. The horse continued four times in a row. He didn't even have to push his feet to struggle, he just threw himself to the ground and died, and the owner of the horse was also thrown to pieces.
The knight in uniform who fell to the ground cursed and struggled to get up. Before he could find another horse, he saw only a dark, cloud-like rain of arrows, attacking his area, and left and right. His companions had already retreated on horseback and ran ten steps away. He was almost the only living person left in the sandbag line, still standing in a daze.
The corners of the armored cavalry's mouth twitched and he muttered: "His grandma is a bear!"
Then, at least ten arrows penetrated his body fiercely. From his face to his chest, a distance of thirty or forty steps, even the armor of the armored cavalry could not stop the Jin army's powerful force. Bow, this unlucky armored cavalry, was like a human-shaped archery target filled with arrows. He fell to the ground on his back, and stood dead on the spot together with the mount next to him that had been killed by a crossbow just now.
The four or five cavalrymen who were killed in the first wave, together with the sixty-seven cavalrymen who escaped slowly and did not have time to run, added up to more than ten cavalrymen and fell in front of the sandbag wall. Several of them had been crushed just now. Under the falling sand bag, the Jin Army's Mo Dao Shou, who was lucky enough not to be assassinated, jumped up from under the sand bag, roared, raised his Mo Dao, and jumped over a large piece of the collapsed sand bag. Sandbag, facing the nearest arrow-armored knight, struck hard and decapitated it with a knife, then quickly picked up the head and turned around quickly to run back. After all, this was an armor that was exchanged for a small life. First of all, it’s really not easy.
Shen Tianzi also got out of the horse's belly and shouted to the less than ten soldiers who were beheaded and ran back: "Go back quickly, don't stay."
He took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly to the sergeants lying on the ground: "Go back behind the spear formation and reorganize the formation!"
As he spoke, he held two big axes and retreated backwards. Deputy Yao Kangzu rushed to his side with three shield-wielding guards. The three people quickly opened their big shields in front of him. Yao Kangzu nervously stood on the ground. He looked at his general and said, "Third brother, are you okay? You scared us to death just now."
Shen Tianzi nodded, looked at the armored cavalry who were reorganizing their formation more than fifty steps away and out of the range of the bow and arrow, and said: "I'm fine here. I killed dozens of armored cavalry in these two rounds." , I think they haven't given up yet. Now the sandbag is basically destroyed. The enemy troops below may have to forcefully charge into the formation. All the brothers in the spear formation will be replaced by long-haired men. Don't be too dense, especially don't have too many people in the back row. Be prepared. Hit the enemy cavalry hard!"
Yao Kangzu opened his eyes wide: "It's like this. They don't have a hundred horses, do they still have to charge hard?"
Shen Tianzi said sternly: "These Yanqi are here to take revenge and fight tooth and nail. It's not like ordinary battles. They could clearly pass through the flanks of our army and get to the back of the formation, but they chose to rush into the formation. I'm afraid they didn't intend to go back alive. They could kill The more of us there are, the more we will have.”
Yao Kangzu gritted his teeth: "Then let's just call in all the archers and fire thousands of arrows at once. We only have sixty or seventy horses. Are we afraid that we can't shoot them to death?"
Shen Tianzi curled up his lips and said: "Shooting is always a bit of a surprise. Knives, axes, and close-quarters bloody battles are so refreshing. When an ax goes down, flesh and blood fly everywhere. Don't you like the feeling of the enemy's blood splattering on your body? ?”
Yao Kangzu laughed: "That's true, but it's not easy to block the armored cavalry that rushes forward. I think to be on the safe side..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw from the side in front of him that suddenly a group of men and horses were rushing forward quickly. The men and horses were in armor and their red robes were fluttering. Isn't it the Suwei cavalry? The leader of the cavalry waved a big ax and shouted: "Young thief Yan, Su Wei cavalry Yu Changqing is here, take your life!"
Shen Tianzi frowned and shook his head: "It seems that these Yan thieves are not the only ones who want to take the opportunity to take revenge. Our Suwei brothers have also come back. It's okay. If you have a grudge, go and take revenge. Keep on guard. Rearrange the sandbags to prevent the enemy from attacking next time!"
