Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1354
The archers from the Zhongyi Bow and Archery Society in various counties in Shuofang, although they are not soldiers of the imperial army, they also practice bow shooting from time to time. Their bows are all excellent war bows awarded by the court. The handles are excellent, and even their own There are also several kinds of arrowheads, each of which is a high-quality arrowhead made by Xia Jianfang, the military supervisor.

In this regard, the Xue Yantuo people can't compare at all, even the Turkic people who claim to be good at riding and shooting.

Star is a Turkic man who has already been naturalized. He is now a herdsman on a military horse farm in Woye County, Shuofang Road. He also has an identity as a militiaman in Woye County and belongs to the Woye Zhongyi Bow and Archery Club.

Star played horseback riding and archery, and his riding and archery skills are very strong. After becoming a militia member of the Loyalty Bow and Archery Club, there will be two big training camps every year, and there are often training sessions in normal times.His bow and arrows are all tailor-made for them above, which are much better than the bows and arrows he used before.

Compared with spearmen, shieldmen, etc. in the militia, archers actually rely on talent, and it takes time.It is impossible to train an excellent archer in a short period of time. It takes years and months to practice good archery. This is no better than a crossbowman.

An archer must have both strength and accuracy, which requires both talent and time to hone.

The shield players, spearmen, and sword players in front are also shooting with their bows, but they are all throwing collectively, only aiming at one direction, and then at a general angle, just pull the bow vigorously and shoot the arrow. Don't care about the others.

But Star is different.

Although he and the archers around him stood behind the swordsmen, spearmen, crossbowmen, etc., they held well-made bows and sharp arrows, but they did not throw them indiscriminately.

Every time they shoot an arrow, they aim at an enemy and shoot flat.

Star aimed at a strong man with a beard and a long axe, counted the number in his heart, and shot an arrow.

His eyes followed his arrows to the strong man holding the axe, and saw countless feathered arrows flying across the battlefield. His arrow successfully shot into the strong man's neck, and the strong man reached out to touch it. But the blood kept gushing out, and the strong man staggered forward a few more steps, and finally fell to the ground.

Star looked back in satisfaction, picked up the dagger and slashed on his quiver, adding a notch.

Then he picked up another arrow and continued to look for the next target. His eyes passed by those ordinary Xue Yantuo fighters without stopping, and he wanted to hunt and kill those powerful fighters.

The thick snow slowed down the charging speed of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, but the Qin army occupied the high ground, condescendingly killing and wounding Xue Yantuo's army with bows and crossbows.

Although Xue Yantuo is used to dismounting and fighting on foot.

But they are not used to this way of fighting on the high ground, not to mention that the Qin people also put all the mounts of the infantry in the front row, so that the Qin army not only has a shield wall, but also a horse formation.

But Qin Jun hid behind the shield wall and horse formation, and continued to shoot arrows condescendingly.

The Xue Yanjun soldiers who were charging in the snow kept falling down.

Xue Yantuo suffered a lot of casualties, and finally rushed down the slope.

They also began to fight back with crossbows and spears and throwing axes.

Many mounted infantry lined up were shot.

The fighting was fierce.

All of a sudden, countless horses of the government soldiers fell down, and a high wall of horse corpses was piled up at the foot of the mountain. Not to the Xue Yantuo army behind.

Yi Nan saw this sudden change from a high place behind, and hurriedly ordered.

"In order, the shield warriors hold the shield and cross the pile of horse corpses, push the shield wall in front of the horse, and advance slowly. The spearmen and sword players are behind, and the crossbowmen are still standing on the high ground, throwing Xue Yantuo's army with their bows and crossbows to suppress their offensive. !"

Yi Nan is not afraid of tough battles.

I didn't fight just now, and I retreated here to fight, but I wanted to take the initiative.

"Shieldman, come with me!"

A mansion soldier holding a shield as tall as a man stood up and roared.

He slapped the large shield with the white tiger pattern on it.

One after another, the shield soldiers slammed their white tiger shields with their spears.

With a huge shield nearly one person tall and eight-foot long spears, these large spear shield soldiers are the strongest first line of defense.

But now, they were ordered to attack.

"rise!"

The heavy wooden greatshield they lifted easily with only one hand.

"one two Three!"

The shield soldiers chanted and marched forward neatly.

The shield soldiers have always been one body, advancing and retreating at the same time, so that they can be like a fortified wall. They move slowly, but their defense is amazing.

The person is behind the shield, lifts the shield and takes three steps forward.

Then the large shield fell to the ground, looked left and right, and readjusted its position to ensure the integrity of the shield array.

Immediately afterwards, the team leaders shouted the chant again, and the shield soldiers continued to move forward.

Mo Dao soldiers, long ax soldiers, pike soldiers, sword players, etc. followed behind and slowly advanced.

The large shield soldiers boarded the pile of many horse corpses.

A large group of Xue Yantuo's soldiers also rushed up against the blow of Qin's crossbow.

"shield!"

"Tiger Tiger Tiger!"

While roaring at the tiger, the shield bearers thrust the white tiger shield fiercely into the mountain of horse corpses, and a shield wall was erected quickly.

"spear!"

"Wind wind!"

The shield bearers put their left shoulders behind the big wooden shields, but their right hands were already holding Zhang Ba's spears with one hand and stabbed them fiercely.

Spears pierced fiercely from behind the shield wall.

Long, hard and sharp.

The group of Xue Yantuo soldiers who finally rushed up the horse corpse mountain were stabbed down in a row.

The Mo Daomen, Long Axemen, Spearmen, and Swordsman players who followed the shield warriors were not idle. Although it is not time for them to rush forward, they stand behind and can also shoot with bows. Stabbed with a gun and chopped with a knife.

In addition, the arrows fired from the high ground by the crossbowmen in the rear still whizzed past their heads.

Xue Yantuo wanted to rush across the mountain of horse corpses in one go.

Unexpectedly, a new shield wall was added on the horse corpse mountain.

Moreover, the shield wall is also thorny, and they were stabbed down in a few strokes.

This shield wall kept moving, pressing down like mountains and seas.

There is a shield wall in front, a rain of arrows on it, and from time to time, spears and big knives are hacked from left and right.

The charge of Xue Yantuo's army was abruptly interrupted, and Qin's counterattack forced them to retreat.

lost heavily.

Ni Gu also saw that something was wrong from the rear. He couldn't figure out why Qin Jun could withstand their attack with so few people, and they could even fight back so that they retreated steadily.

"Come on, don't back down, fight to the death, and kill the [-] Qin troops!"

"Khan, beware of that Qin cavalry by the river."

Someone reminded Mu Ni.

But Ni Yu now only sees the infantry of the Qin army with less than 2 people. As for the five thousand cavalry, they are a bit far away, and he is confident that these Qin cavalry will not dare to come.

After all, although he has lost a little bit now, he still has nearly [-] troops, and now it is only a slight setback for the forward.

If Qin Qi's 5000 men dared to rush over, they would be courting death.
