Thirty-five hundred crossbow arrows densely smashed into the Goguryeo army that was charging, instantly cutting a gap of more than ten feet long in the middle of the Goguryeo cavalry!
More than two thousand Goguryeo cavalry were pinned to the spot by huge crossbow arrows, and then trampled to death by the cavalry from behind who could not hold back their momentum!
In front of the fault, four to five thousand Goguryeo cavalry had already rushed less than a hundred steps away from the Crescent Moon Formation. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to rush into the Sui army's formation in just a few more breaths!
Little did they know that a huge change had taken place behind them. At this moment, these thousands of Goguryeo cavalry had begun to wave their sabers and were ready to enjoy the killing!
After all, it was the first time to set up the so-called Crescent Moon Formation, and all the Sui soldiers felt very unsure! However, their sight was blocked by the Goguryeo front army, and the Sui soldiers did not see the miserable scene of people falling on their backs in the Goguryeo army formation.
At this moment, with a thousand men weakly facing dozens of times the cavalry, those who can persist and not run away are already considered to be well-trained Sui soldiers and well-commanded generals!
At this time, from the Chinese army behind the Crescent Moon Formation, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er's cold shouting came again, "Open your bow! Forty-five degrees from the front and above, three rounds of projectiles! One, two, three, shoot!"
At the same time as Yuwen Xiaoma'er's scolding, there was a squeaking sound of bow strings, and then there was the sound of "swish" bows and arrows piercing the air!
Two thousand long arrows shot out like locusts, and landed about fifty steps directly in front of the Crescent Moon Formation like raindrops.
At this time, the arrows of the arrow formation composed of more than 4,000 Goguryeo cavalry had just passed through here.
The approximately 300 Goguryeo cavalrymen who were at the front were lucky enough to escape the arrows again, but the Goguryeo cavalrymen behind them were not so lucky. In an instant, they were overturned again, and there were nearly a thousand people.
Either I was shot off my horse or my horse was shot to the ground, and then luckily it became a stepping stone for the cavalry in the rear!
Although they were hit by a hail of arrows, the cavalry at the rear had no intention of stopping.
In fact, the cavalry has launched an all-out charge and cannot stop within a short period of time even if they want to!
Therefore, the Goguryeo cavalry who were cut into three sections were very lucky to see the Sui army's methods!
The more than 300 cavalrymen at the front were lucky enough to rush to the front and rear of the Sui army's formation, but found that the swords in their hands were simply not long enough! Separated by the opponent's chariots and horses, no matter how hard these cavalrymen waved their swords, they could not attack.
To the Sui army nearly ten feet away!
After circling for a moment in front of the Crescent Moon Formation with their war horses, the clever Goguryeo soldier finally discovered that although the distance between the two Sui army chariots was a little small, if they were more careful, they could still accommodate it.
A war horse squeezes in!
"You can rush in the middle, everyone, follow me and kill her!" a certain Goguryeo captain shouted loudly, waving his saber.
Following the roar of the Goryeo captain, the stick soldiers quickly came to their senses and began to rush towards the gaps between the chariots.
The greatest advantage of the cavalry is speed! The Goguryeo soldiers who lost their speed advantage and began to play tricks almost became targets, and their horses were knocked over by the spearmen of the Sui army.
After falling from their horses, the fierce Goguryeo soldiers howled and attacked the Sui troops on the chariot. However, without exception, they were beaten down by the Sui troops holding stainless steel shields, and then were assisted by the steel swordsmen.
Click, click, cut in two!
More than 300 Goguryeo cavalrymen were beheaded in the blink of an eye, and more than 200 of them were beheaded! Only a few dozen of the more clever ones turned around and ran away immediately, and thus barely escaped the fate of being beheaded!
And behind these Goguryeo sergeants, a mosquito was unwilling to direct the Goguryeo sergeants to launch a desperate charge against the Sui army!…
The idea of a mosquito is good! As long as the speed is a little faster and the two arrows and crossbows are separated, the Sui army can only be the meat on their own chopping board, and they can cut it however they want!
Moreover, the more than three hundred Goguryeo cavalry who rushed in front of the Sui army's formation also gave that mosquito a little bit of confidence to a certain extent!
Didn’t you see, there are already cavalry rushing over! If we rush over three to five thousand people faster, then the initiative in this battle will be in the hands of our Goguryeo sticks! The worst is,
It's better to fight the Sui army in such a way that both sides suffer losses, killing ten thousand enemies and losing eight thousand to ourselves! It's better than being passively beaten in such a one-sided manner!
It's a pity that a mosquito's wish is beautiful, but the reality is indeed cruel!
After experiencing the initial commotion, the Goguryeo army quickly reorganized its formation and launched a desperate charge against the Sui army. Unfortunately, every time the Goguryeo army charged, the Sui army firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle!
Even in the most successful charge, Goguryeo could only escape the blows of these two waves of crossbows with a team of 1,000 people, and reached the Crescent Moon Formation. Then, unfortunately, they became the dead souls under the sword of the Sui Dynasty!
And in less than half a quarter of an hour, the Goguryeo sergeants actually paid for this with more than 10,000 casualties!
After losing about one-third of their weight, Goguryeo's sergeants finally no longer were as fanatical as they were at the beginning, but gradually calmed down, and then began to be afraid!
Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that dying in such a confused way is meaningless at all!
So, inevitably, the Goguryeo sergeants became timid!
But a mosquito, who was the coach on the side, thought of more at this moment!
Unlike swordsmen and spearmen, it is impossible for archers to draw their bows and shoot arrows all the time. Not to mention whether there are so many arrows they carry with them. Even if a single arrow is the same, the average person's arm strength cannot withstand continuous shooting in a short period of time.
Drawing the bow dozens of times is exhausting!
At this moment, the Sui Army crossbowmen in front of them had obviously shot down at least two pots of arrows!
Come to think of it, at this time, the Sui army was already starting to show weakness?
Wouldn't this be the perfect time for our Goguryeo army to show off its might?
Thinking of this, a mosquito is finally no longer afraid!
"The Sui army has no strength. They can no longer draw their bows! All my sons, come to my rescue! The first one to break through the Sui army's camp will be rewarded with thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households!"
Under the power and wealth offensive of a mosquito, those Goryeo sergeants who were already a little insane, screamed again and launched a desperate charge against the Sui army!
As a mosquito might imagine, after a short period of rapid burst, the archers of the Sui army in front of them really had no strength to continue shooting at this moment!
However, before a mosquito's smile can fully bloom, a mosquito will be on the spot!
Because, just now, the archers of the Sui army had quickly boarded the chariot and completed the change of guard with the sergeants on the original chariot!
But those guys who were wielding swords, holding shields and wielding spears turned around one by one and began to play with bows and arrows! And, judging from the situation, their skills were quite good!
