Chapter 492: Who will collapse first when the crossbow is raised?
The long knife in Liu Yu's hand was like the wind. He swung it with a single wave, bringing up the sword energy like snowflakes. With a "bang" sound, a crossbow arrow was fired at the door in front of him. It fell in response to the knife, broke into three pieces in the air, and fell.
At Liu Yu's feet.
Xiang Jing on the side groaned softly, and with the sound of a crossbow bolt entering his body, Liu Yu frowned, without looking to the left at Xiang Jing, and said in a deep voice: "Tianniu, how are you?"
Xiang Jing laughed: "It doesn't matter, it just touched the skin and hasn't penetrated the flesh yet."
Liu Yu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that a crossbow arrow had already penetrated most of Xiang Jing's right chest, with only a little tail feather still left. He knew very well that the arrow had penetrated at least three inches into the flesh.
Thanks to Tieniu's iron tower-like body and hard Qigong practice, he did not fall down, which would have been impossible for an ordinary person.
Liu Yu shook his head, and was about to ask Xiang Jing to retreat to the second column and pull out arrows to cover his wounds. There was a loud roar above his head, but Liu Yi and others behind him were firing their bows and arrows. More than fifty steps away, many people were shooting.
The Qin army hiding behind the shield fell in response.
He Wuji said excitedly: "Brother Jinu, Xile and the others are following us. They are supporting us with arrows. Let us also fight back. We will definitely be able to push back the enemy!"
Liu Yu said sternly: "Keep moving forward, don't retreat, and no shooting is allowed!"
He said, strode forward, and took three more steps.
Tan Pingzhi stood beside Liu Yu and shouted as he walked: "Jinu, it's almost enough. Within fifty steps, even the double heavy armor can't withstand it!"
Liu Yu said nothing and just moved forward. Behind the wooden shield, the crossbowmen of the Qin Army stabilized their position after experiencing a burst of bow and arrow attacks from Liu Yi and others. A group of soldiers around Wang Yong ran to the front in person.
, began to take over the command of the former army. The dozen or so crossbowmen who had fled because of the death of the commanding officer were directly hit by these guards. Without saying a word, they slaughtered the locals like chopping melons and vegetables.
Each of them took their heads, held them bloody behind their shields, and loudly rebuked those crossbowmen who had unstable morale. With this set of measures, the Qin army's crossbow array, which was almost collapsing, was stabilized again.
More than a thousand heavy crossbowmen of the Qin Army, following the orders of the guards, emerged from their wooden shields one after another. In their hands, they held infantry crossbows of more than three stones and more than a thousand shining crossbow arrows.
Pointing directly at Liu Yu and others, the five crossbows were facing each other, and almost all the vital points on the chest and front were within the enemy's range.
Liu Yu's footsteps finally stopped. Just fifty steps away from the enemy, he stopped and looked directly at the enemy in front of him with bright eyes. He slowly inserted the Bailiansu iron sword in his hand back into his back.
On the battlefield, he held a three-company crossbow and pointed it directly at the enemy army on the opposite side. The two armies were fifty steps apart, raising their crossbows at each other. The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Liu Yi opened his eyes wide, and Zhuge Changmin on the side said loudly: "What are you doing? Shoot the arrow quickly, shoot the arrow. As long as you advance twenty steps further and survive this round, you can overwhelm the enemy's formation!"
Liu Yi suddenly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to fire arrows. Now is the time to decide the outcome. At a distance of fifty steps, iron armor cannot be an enemy. What the two sides are fighting now is psychology. Whoever can't move first will win."
Once your strength is exhausted, there will be no chance to make amends!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Jinu is gambling with his life. Damn it. It's a pity that there are no follow-up troops. Otherwise, if someone rushes at this time, it will definitely..."
Liu Yi suddenly stopped talking. He heard the gentle splashing sound of running water in Luo Jian. He turned around and saw countless disciples of Tianshi Dao who were all black and lightly dressed in the mist.
They were sneaking out under the cover of night. They had no armor and carried swords on their backs. They moved as fast as rabbits. When they touched the edge of the stream, they immediately submerged themselves in and swam here. Maybe the battle ahead was too exciting and attractive.
So much so that the Qin army's torch and stone bombardment stopped at some point, and no one noticed that these Tianshi Dao disciples were quietly crossing the stream.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Yi's mouth: "A general is a general, and he finally did the right thing at the most critical moment. The people from Tianshi Dao are here, ready to attack!"
On top of the Qin Army's archery tower, Liang Cheng was nervous and sweaty. Wang Xian on the side could hardly speak fluently: "Oh my God, these, are these Beifu soldiers humans or ghosts? If they are humans, how is it possible? How?
Maybe at a distance of a hundred steps, the crossbow can't hit? Look, look at them, all of them are hit by at least ten arrows, why, how come they don't die?"
Liang Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "These are enemy dead soldiers, heavy armor and hard Qigong body protection, they are so strong. If I had known, I should have used cavalry to attack from the beginning. It is too late to say anything now. Order
Wang Yong, you are not allowed to shoot. Anyone who dares to shoot in disobedience will be killed!"
Wang Xian opened his eyes wide: "Why, why don't you shoot them?"
Liang Cheng said sternly: "Because we have reached fifty steps now. At a distance of fifty steps, we can only fire one arrow, and there is no time for the rear row to rotate. If this arrow cannot cause heavy casualties to the enemy, then they can take advantage of the situation and make a surprise attack."
, our front army will collapse! When the time comes, the front army will be defeated and the rear army will all disperse!"
Wang Xian kept wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Then, shall we continue to confront each other like this?"
Liang Cheng gritted his teeth: "Time is in our favor. These Beifu soldiers have been hit by so many arrows, and their physical strength is at the limit. Ask the people in front to resist. If anyone dares to retreat, the rear team will kill the front team and guard the camp fence for me."
They are all brought down, and five thousand cavalry are lined up behind the fence, ready to counterattack at any time!"
Wang Xian frowned: "General, no, if there is a counterattack, what will the front army do?"
Liang Cheng's eyes flashed coldly: "I can't care about so much anymore. I only think that the three thousand people in the front army have been wiped out. As long as they can delay it for another half-quarter of an hour, our arrangements are completed and we can launch a cavalry assault!"
After saying this, Liang Cheng flew down from the archery tower and landed firmly on his mount. An armored guard on the side rushed forward and handed a sword weighing sixty or seventy kilograms to him.
He lifted Liang Cheng's hand with one hand and swung it hard. The knife instantly cut a half-foot-deep crack on the ground. Liang Cheng shouted in Di language: "Young men, prepare..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of restlessness in front, and a firm and powerful sound of stepping on the ground. Liu Yu's heavy armor square formation began to move forward, accompanied by Liu Yu's chant:
"One, four, five, two, five, four, one eight eight!"
Following Liu Yu's command, all the Beifu sergeants on the entire west bank of Luojian shouted in unison: "One, four, five, two, five, four, one eight eight!"
Wang Yong's voice just sounded: "Hold on!" But a sound of breaking strings also sounded almost at the same time. I don't know which nervous crossbow soldier of the Qin Army pulled the trigger. It was almost a chain reaction. In an instant, the crossbow arrows shot like arrows.
Waves rushed towards the firm and steady iron armored square on the opposite side.
