Yu Qiujin laughed and stood on the station cart. After the repeated crossbows, these chariots were the same as the pickup trucks of later generations. A six-stone crossbow with a base was installed directly in the center of the chariot.
On the continuous-fire crossbow arm, a crossbow arrow more than a foot long has been installed. It is a five-shot crossbow machine. At a distance of about fifty steps, it can even fire the power of the eight-stone running bull crossbow.
On the inside of the chariot, which is half a person's height, there are three large bows of about four stones, and ten quivers filled with long wolf fang arrows. Two archers are holding the bows and squatting inside the carriage, as
On the other side of the ambush, there are three soldiers holding halberds and swords, holding long weapons. As close combat sergeants, they are also the swordsmen on the cart.
Two spare halberds were placed at the feet of the three archers, which could also be used by the two archers in an emergency. Compared with the ancient three-man chariot, this chariot, together with Yu Qiujin,
There were seven people in total, including the crossbowmen, and the entire chariot was twice as big as an ordinary baggage cart. In addition, the two sharp blades hanging on the axles made it intimidating.
Yu Qiujin looked around and said loudly: "Brothers, our enemies are here, come and kill me, kill Hu, kill Hu, kill Hu!"
There was a roar in unison, and twenty long whips were whipped on the buttocks of the four horses pulling the chariot in front. These armored horses flew forward with all their hooves, pulling twenty chariots.
They moved and started a full-scale charge against the five groups of enemy armored cavalry that had reached a distance of about 500 steps.
Yu Qiu came in and stood behind the crossbow. His right hand was holding the trigger tightly, while his left hand was clenched and raised high, without moving at all. The guard in front now acted as a range-finder, controlling the reins and raising the whip while shouting:
"The enemy's distance is two hundred steps!"
Everyone in the bumpy chariot was shaking violently. Although there were blankets in the carriage as shock absorbers, this era was not the industrial period of later generations. Running at full speed on this uneven ground was enough to make no one
Trained people vomit out their bile on this car.
All the sergeants in the tank have gone through long-term and intensive training to be as stable as a mountain in this tank. However, many people's faces are still full of nervousness and sweat.
The hands holding the weapons were also squeezed repeatedly, which fully reflected the excitement and tension in their hearts. After all, this was a head-on confrontation with the invincible armored cavalry. Can it really be defeated in a single battle?
Yu Qiujin took a look inside the car. The two archers were so nervous that their faces were covered with sweat. These two people were his distant nephews, named Yu Qiu Yuanzhi and Yu Qiu Qi respectively. They were the third eldest son of his distant cousin.
With the fourth son, he smiled and said: "Third son, fourth son, are you afraid?"
Yu Qiu Yuanzhi's teeth were chattering: "I, I'm not afraid, I want, I want to destroy Hu."
Yu Qiujin laughed and said: "If you are shaking like this, you can't even hold the bow steady. How can you kill Hu?"
The charioteer in front shouted loudly: "The enemy's distance is one hundred and fifty steps!"
Yu Qiujin smiled and shook his head: "Let me tell you a secret. When I first went to the battlefield, during the Battle of Junchuan, I was just like you now. I was holding a bow and was scared to death. The two thousand Huns cavalry on the opposite side were
, rushed towards us like this, and the slave said at the time that everything should be obeyed by him and no arrows were allowed to be fired. Do you know why?"
Yu Qiu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up: "Because, the art of bow and crossbow focuses on the power of volley. Only when one can shoot thousands of arrows at once, the enemy will be defenseless and can cause maximum damage, otherwise
, fire arrows sparsely, and the enemy can defend them with their shields."
Yu Sheng's voice continued, with a hint of trembling: "The enemy's distance is one hundred and twenty steps, and the enemy in the front row is drawing his bow!"
Yu Qiujin smiled slightly: "Yes, the shooting power is not enough when you are far away, and it is not enough to break armor. These armored cavalry are the elite of the enemy's army. Both men and horses are heavily armored. At a distance of 120 steps, a crossbow arrow may not be able to kill them.
Kill with one hit!"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "woo" sound, followed by a roaring sound that broke through the air. Yu Qiu Yuanzhi and Yu Qiu Qi almost shouted at the same time: "Uncle Guizi, be careful, hurry up
Get down!"
Yu Qiujin smiled and shook his head. He didn't even look ahead. He just shook his body left and right and turned his neck twice. Four or five long arrows passed by him, except for the helmet tassel on his head.
The few red threads on his body flew into the air without hurting him at all.
On the dozen or so chariots next door, six or seven "people" fell down one after another, but those were just scarecrows in armor. As soon as the arrows came, they were pulled down by the soldiers on the vehicle. In this smoke and dust
Where there are so many enemies, it is impossible for the enemy cavalry to tell whether they are real people or dummies. Even when the soldier lying on the vehicle sprinkles the chicken blood in the blood bag that has been prepared in the air, it looks more like a target.
The blood mist was shot behind the arrow.
Only Yu Qiujin and three or four veterans, who were real people, stood behind the crossbow machine. They all stood motionless. Yu Qiujin smiled slightly: "I was so scared at the time. I shook my hand and the arrow flew out.
Immediately afterwards, all the brothers around me shot out. I remember clearly at that time, ninety steps!"
The charioteer in front shouted: "The enemy's distance is ninety steps!"
Yu Qiuyuan reacted immediately: "A bow and arrow cannot hurt anyone at a distance of ninety steps, uncle, we understand!"
Yu Qiujin's left hand had been raised to where everyone could see it, and he shouted loudly: "Steady, steady, all crossbowmen get up!"
All the crossbowmen who were lying in the carriage jumped up at the moment Yu Qiujin raised his left fist and stood behind the crossbow machine. They pulled the crossbow machine with both hands, just like the soldiers on the pickup truck pulling the machine gun.
, and instantly aimed at the knight on the opposite side. Everyone's eyes were flashing with cold light and murderous intent.
"Woo" and "whoosh", another row of powerful bows shot past. Since the distance was much shorter than before, the power of this round of arrows was obviously a lot more powerful. The three crossbowmen who had just jumped were instantly hit.
The arrow shot through, and he almost fell down without even making a sound. One person even flew out of the carriage dragging a long bloody arrow. Another person jumped up in the carriage instantly and picked up a large crossbow.
.
Yu Qiujin said sternly: "Do you see, if I am shot to death too, third son, if you take my place, will you be able to do it?"
Yu Qiu Yuanzhi said loudly: "Yes!"
Yu Qiujin laughed, and put down his left hand suddenly, matching his fierce roar: "Crossbow strike, five rounds!"
