Chapter 533: Thousands of arrows descended to the river bank to mourn
Hundreds of Qin officers issued "shoot" orders at the same time, and more than 30,000 arrows suddenly shot up, forming a large black field that almost covered the entire sky. The soldiers on the Jin army's river bank felt a sudden burst of light from the sky.
An looked up again, only to find tens of thousands of triangular arrows on the arrow shafts, like the eyes of the god of death, shining with a cold light, and they were smashing down overwhelmingly.
Hundreds of Jin soldiers with quick hands and feet quickly raised their shields above their heads, but the remaining people were not so lucky. Iron helmets and bronze armor were not omnipotent, and they could not prevent these huge weapons from high in the sky.
The arrows were smashed down by the potential energy, and with the screams one after another, the soldiers of the Jin army were like wheat fields blown down by the strong wind. Suddenly, hundreds of people fell to the ground, and several non-vital parts were hit by arrows.
The sergeant struggled to stand up and hold up his shield, but was hit in the head or chest by arrows that followed one after another. Without even humming, he fell to the ground and turned into cold corpses.
Liu Laozhi's eyes were completely red. From his position, he could see clearly that the Qin army's archers were extremely well-trained and could fire arrows very fast, not inferior to the best archers in the Jin army, and even
Some archers hold a handful of arrows in their hands, with more than a dozen arrows. With a movement of one finger, they push an arrow onto the string and shoot it out quickly. They don't even have to reach into the quiver to pick up the arrow.
No need.
Liu Muzhi sighed: "I've heard for a long time that Hulu have strong bows and fast arrows, and are barbarians. The word "barbarians" all carry a bow. It can be seen that they have been famous for being good at shooting since ancient times. We are really in big trouble today!"
Liu Laozhi shouted sternly: "Liu Jingxuan, you personally lead the team. When you get to the shore, you must hold up the shield. Don't worry about the dead people. Kick them all into the river and quickly clear a landing site!"
Liu Jingxuan loudly agreed, thrust the flag into the hands of a general on the side, ran to the weapon rack on the general platform, picked up two heavy steel maces, and ran straight down the stage.
A personal guard led his mount. He jumped on the horse skillfully and rushed forward in a flash. Behind him, more than 300 horse guards followed closely, raising a puff of smoke and dust.
He soon disappeared.
Liu Muzhi sighed: "The Qin army indeed has strong bows and fast arrows, and our Jin soldiers are not as good as them. It seems that the arrows of those arrows have good armor-piercing capabilities. Our army cannot resist them without using iron shields."
Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth: "The generals of the three armies in front are all veterans of long-term battles, and Liu Yu is a hero among heroes. They know these battle and defense methods. It is not terrible to kill thousands of people. The key is
We need to consolidate the landing site on the river bank. As long as we stand firm, we can counterattack towards the camp!"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Nearly half of the more than a thousand people who rushed over in the first batch died, and less than five hundred people were still standing there. Now another bridge has broken, and the corpses are blocking the way forward.
If you want to form a formation, I'm afraid it's not that easy. In my opinion, the catapults still can't be stopped. It's better to suppress the Qin archers to buy some time for the troops."
Liu Laozhi nodded and said to Meng Chang, a soldier who was standing aside holding the order flag: "Send the order, the catapult resumes the attack, ten rounds of rockfall, quick!"
Meng Chang blinked: "Commander, if you do this, you may hit one of your own, the distance is too close!"
Liu Laozhi shook his head: "I don't care about that much anymore. Let them throw them as far away as possible. Don't hit too fast, and strive for results!"
Meng Chang had no choice but to stand in front of the stage and raise a flag. Soon, more than 200 Jin army trebuchets, which had been silent for a long time, began to roar again. Stones were thrown from both sides of the air like a meteor shower, and many stones were volleyed into the air.
They collided, and then both fell into the river, like meteorites falling from the sky. The impact caused water columns several feet high to rise in the Feishui water, and the mud at the bottom of the river was violently turned to the surface of the river, and the air
In addition to the smell of blood, there is also the unpleasant smell of centuries-old silt. Dead fish, dead shrimps, and hundreds of Jin army corpses are also floating on the river, giving people a spiritual shock of death.
Liu Jingxuan had already rushed to the edge of Feishui. He jumped off his horse and began to point with two steel maces, conveying Liu Laozhi's orders to several generals standing on the front line. These people nodded repeatedly and then turned around quickly.
Returning to his own team, the Jin army's second wave of attacks began, and correspondingly, there was the roar of thousands of large drums.
Liu Jingxuan took off his armor, revealing his knotted muscles covered with black hair. He threw two maces on the ground, picked up two drumsticks, and began to beat the drums with all his strength. The sound of a thousand-faced war drum
, completely suppressing the shouts of the Jin army soldiers and the continuous firing of bowstrings from the opposite side. Everyone's heart beat violently with the rumbling, thunderous drums, and their blood boiled.
Murderous!
Hundreds of stones fell into the Qin camp. This time, the Qin army did not cover their heads with wooden rafts in order to shoot, so the bombardment effect of the stones was much stronger. Every stone hit the crowd, and the total impact was
It can bring about muffled groans and screams. After the stone hits the person, it continues to jump and roll on the ground, bringing up a cloud of blood-colored dust. The speed and frequency of Qin's auxiliary soldiers carrying corpses suddenly rise and fall as they run back and forth.
It sped up a lot, and even many auxiliary soldiers who had just rushed forward were hit by stones and turned into balls of blood and mud.
Fu Rong looked at the desperate fight on the river bank within a hundred steps with an expressionless face. Qin's archers were howling like ghosts after being hit by rocks from the Jin army, and at the same time they kept pouring arrows in the direction of the river bank.
, since it is a coverage attack within a range, it does not pursue accuracy. It only needs to be placed at a similar angle and continue firing with similar power.
Therefore, they mechanically repeated the process of opening the bow, releasing the arrow, opening the bow again, and releasing the arrow again. Unknowingly, the fifty long-stem spike arrows in the quiver were all empty.
Above, it almost became a sea of arrow branches. From a distance, there were white arrow feathers everywhere, and many Jin army corpses on the ground were almost completely covered by these white arrow feathers.
Of the more than 1,000 Jin troops who washed up on the other side of the river in the first batch, less than 500 were still alive. Under such a high-intensity rain of arrows, it was impossible for there to be any injured. Even if they were initially injured, they would still be injured.
The sergeant who was groaning and rolling on the ground with his life left would be nailed to the ground by the successive arrows, turning into a mass of corpses covered with white feathers.
The five or six hundred Jin soldiers who were alive, let alone counterattack, could no longer lift the captain. They tightly grasped the inner handle of the shield with both hands, hiding as much of their bodies as possible inside the shield.
