Chapter 45 The Habit of the Nightmare

Chapter 45 The Habit of the Nightmare

With the sound of horseshoes, the Qiang cavalry was still much worse than the Huns in charging. This is one of the main reasons why the Huns can always suppress the Qiang.

A mass of black cavalry charge, how shocking is that posture, few ordinary soldiers can bear it.

But the Daqin Ruishi is different. This army that once fought the Huns crying for their fathers and mothers did not panic at all.

"Bowmen!" Meng Yan's general order was issued, and soon there were bursts of rapid drumbeats.

The crossbowmen in the first three rows were ready, and the first row took a step forward. The Qin crossbow equipped with crossbow bolts was raised, and everyone was aiming through Wangshan.

The crossbowmen in the second and third rows are kneeling on one leg, ready at any time!

Shooting in turn, a technology that Europe did not have until the musket era, was already available in the pre-Qin period.

The reason why this mode is adopted is that the firing rate of the crossbow is relatively slow.

The ancients used to say that there are no more than three times before the battle, and what they are talking about is the speed of fire of the bow and crossbow.And this problem was completely broken by taking turns shooting.

Bows and crossbows are different from bows and arrows. Bows and arrows usually use covered shooting, but the power of crossbows is huge. Coupled with things like Wangshan Mountain, the lethality of the Qin Army's crossbowmen can be seen.

Therefore, on the road of the Qiang people's charge, the first wave they faced was the crossbow arrows of the Great Qin Ruishi!
"Crossbowman ready, shoot!"

The general orders were issued one after another, and the role of the generals and schools at the grassroots level was reflected at this time.Their professionalism enabled them to make correct judgments in the shortest possible time.

The first row of crossbowmen finished shooting, then squatted down, followed by the second row, and then the third row.

The biggest difference between crossbow bolts and arrow rain lies in the accuracy. Arrow rain relies on coverage, while crossbow bolts rely on precision strikes.

Therefore, after three rows of crossbow arrows are fired, the lethality of three thousand crossbow arrows can be imagined.

If you are lucky, you will be shot by the horse, and if you are unlucky, you must wear yourself to death!

The Daqin Crossbow is so powerful that even the Dahuangnu of the Han Dynasty was imitated on its basis.

The Qiang cavalry, who had almost no defensive armor, suffered heavy losses after a few precise strikes from the crossbow.

After only three days before the battle, the Daqin soldiers abruptly fired [-] crossbow arrows, and their lethality directly overwhelmed the Qiang cavalry.

The [-] Qiang army stormed Linjing County for half a month. After losing more than [-], they were hit head-on by the crossbows of the Great Qin Ruishi.

The fallen horses and corpses in the front row hindered the momentum of the entire cavalry charge. Once the advantage of speed was lost, the cavalry was attacked by infantry, and the result was self-evident.

The crossbowman's task was completed, and he quickly began to retreat.

And their retreat remained orderly, changing from horizontal to vertical, going backward from the gap between the soldiers holding spears.

This kind of time is usually the most dangerous, but Daqin Ruishi chose the right time. When the Qiang cavalry recovered their strength, they were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

"Boom boom boom!"

The battle drums around Mengchen were thundering, and the crossbowmen quickly regrouped after retreating to the central army, while the soldiers holding seven-meter spears and nearly three-meter halberds had already begun to attack.

A seven-meter spear is extremely inappropriate for a soldier to handle, especially in terms of physical strength, he must be stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Rows of soldiers with spears in their hands marched forward to the beat of drums. A certain distance was kept between each row, which could form effective protection.

Move like a forest, move like a rock!
This is the only word Meng Chen can use to describe the scene in front of him at this moment.Not only him, but also Guo Si and Xue Rengui.

The burst of crossbow shooting just now made Guo Bang's back numb.

If faced with such a crossbow array, the chance of survival is really too small.

"The master's elite is amazing!" Guo Si muttered to himself.

First came the Xuanjia cavalry, then the Beiwei army, and now the army known as the Great Qin Ruishi is even more amazing.

"Boom! Boom!" The drumbeat began to speed up, and the spearmen in the front row had already slowly leveled their raised spears, and the pace of their feet began to speed up.

As the beating of the drums became faster and faster, the soldiers with spears rushed forward as fast as they could!

After the first row charged for a certain distance, the second row followed closely, followed by the third row, fourth row, and fifth row.

And behind them, soldiers holding halberds also charged forward row by row.

From a distance, it looks like waves, constantly hitting the enemy's formation.

The black horse that Mengchen sat on neighed, and became restless.

And Meng Chen is even more excited, but since he chose to let Meng Yan command this battle, Meng Chen must not change his original intention.

The Qiang cavalry were dumbfounded. Have they ever seen the infantry charge the cavalry head-on?
Just in this dazed effort, Da Qin Ruishi killed it!

Facing the seven-meter spear, how to avoid it, the Qiang cavalry didn't know how to choose for a while.

Those who were stunned in place were stabbed off their horses, and those who were a little more excited were dodged.

It's a pity that there are not one but five spears. What's the use of turning sideways?

The smartest one jumped off the horse and ran back, and then heard the neighing of the horse.

The attack of the first row had just ended, before the Qiang cavalry counterattacked, the charge of the second row arrived, the second row had just finished, and the third row arrived shortly after...

All of a sudden, the Qiang cavalry fell into a pool of blood one by one, and the situation on the battlefield was doomed from the very beginning.

When the euphorbia soldiers arrived, the Qiang cavalry had lost the courage to fight!

Although the strength of the two sides is the same, where have the Qiang people seen such a brutal scene?Even the Han army is not so terrifying.

"Woooooo!" Under Meng Chen's signal, Meng Shan blew the horn.

Guo Si and Xue Rengui on the two wings have waited for this moment for too long. Although the duel has not been long since the start, their hearts can no longer calm down.

With the addition of the cavalry, the entire battle has been declared over, even if the Qiang people scrambled to escape into the camp, it would not help the matter.

Daqin Ruishi is like a big mountain, crushing it directly.

Meng Chen turned the horse's head, the overall situation of this battle was decided, and the Wuzhui horse neighed twice, protesting why Meng Chen didn't let it go into battle.

"Escort the lord back to the city!" Meng Yan ordered, and the crossbowmen surrounded Meng Chen and returned to Linjing County, while he rode his horse forward.

For him, the battle has just begun!
At sunset, people from all walks of life returned one after another, and Guo Si and Xue Rengui had strange expressions on their faces.

"What happened?"

"General Meng is digging a hole?"

"Dig a hole?" Meng Chen said something different, and quickly reflected.

"Ding, the task is updated, completely solve the Qiang rebellion in Beidi County, and reward a special gift bag."

The voice in his head came, coupled with the matter of Meng Yan's digging machine, a bad premonition rose in Meng Chen's heart.

However, it seems that there is nothing wrong with doing this. It seems that Qin Jun has always had such a habit, otherwise how could the pit king Bai Qi make the people of Zhao Guo tremble.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Meng Yan returned with a bloody smell.

"My lord, more than [-] heads were captured in this battle, more than [-] Qiang cavalry were killed, and a few cavalry fled in disorder."

"How about the battle damage?"

"Less than five thousand!"

Shocked, apart from being shocked, Meng Chen had no other expression on his face. After this battle, he might become famous all over the world again!
