Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 54

Chapter 66 Outpost First Battle
Mount Tai does not reject the fine soil, so it can reach its height; the river and the sea do not choose the trickle, so it can reach its depth. 360 lines, no matter what you do, the details determine success or failure.

Hu Guang's troops stood on the spot and waited for half an hour, but Yang Suowen's troops had less than 400 troops before they crossed the Huai River. It is composed of the people near Pofutang, otherwise crossing the Huai River will make them vomit in a daze.

Fortunately, Yang Suowen's troops successfully crossed the Huai River, and nothing like falling into the Huai River and feeding bastards at the bottom did not happen.

Yang Suowen's troops crossed the river without even preparing for a rest. They hurriedly formed formation on the north bank, and then rushed towards Hu Guang's troops like a swarm of bees under the leadership of Yang Suowen.

"It's started, it's finally started!" Hu Guang said with a sigh of relief, "This time we're sure to win!"

In fact, in Hu Guang's view, victory in this battle is within easy reach.Yang Suowen's troops are very powerful, but they are too good at fighting.The two armies lined up, separated by more than one mile. How could the infantry charge at such a long distance?Undoubtedly defeated!If you don't believe me, try running for a mile while wearing armor and holding a heavy weapon. Do you still have the strength to fight with others after running?

The real correct way is to advance slowly in formation, even if the soldiers are not trained enough, the formation will be messed up if they walk for a while. The charge is ten thousand times better.

At this time, Yang Suowen's troops were running very fast, and they had covered half of the distance in a blink of an eye.

Hu Guang shouted coldly: "String up the bow and crossbow!"

The orderly immediately conveyed the order with a tambourine.

The three teams of bows and crossbows began to lie on their backs on the ground, struggling to put their feet on the crossbows.If you shoot a light arrow with a foot-mounted crossbow with a three-stone pull, you can shoot for a full mile. Even when you have just boarded the So Yang Suowen station and lined up on the bank, you can shoot the crossbow into their formation. Of course, the range at that time is Arrived, but the lethality is not much.Most of the crossbows purchased by Lu Yonghua are medium-sized sheep's heads (Han Yangxiong's "Dialect": "All arrowheads... with three sickles (edges) are called sheep's heads. Many military rebirth novels blow the three-edged army to the sky. In fact, the three-edged thorn was already a standard equipment in the Qin and Han Dynasties) The crossbow has a range of 350 steps, of course, the effective killing range is only 180 steps, and it must be placed within 130 steps to deal with heavy armor.

Hu Guang visually observed that Yang Suowen's men had already run within 150 paces of the marked arrows, and immediately ordered: "Raise the three fingers, let the arrows go!"

150 foot-mounted crossbowmen, aiming at the target and pulling the triggers neatly. "Bang bang bang" the sound of the strong crossbow ejected, and the sound of "swoosh" the crossbow bolt tearing the air was also heard endlessly.

But in an instant, 150 crossbow arrows were like locusts crossing the border, rushing towards Yang Suowen's troops who were charging intensively.

"oops!"

"Ouch!"

"what"

The screams resounded among the bandits, one after another, endlessly... For a moment, it was unknown how many people were shot down by arrows, and blood splattered everywhere.Within 150 range, the three-stone crossbow can penetrate a layer of light iron armor.But Yang Suowen's soldiers gradually fell behind during the charge because of the heavy burden of the soldiers.At this time, the first steps were all spearmen or sword soldiers without armor.

The three-stone crossbow shooting unarmored soldiers at medium and short distances can be said to be a heavy machine gun shooting at the human body, which is terrible.The shape of the sheep's head arrow is almost the same as that of the three-sided army thorn. Like the three-sided army thorn, it has the characteristics of fast bloodletting and strong penetrating power. Not to mention hitting the vitals, even the torso will lose its combat power in an instant. As for hitting the abdomen and chest, Basically a death sentence.During the Han Dynasty, the [-] crossbowmen under Li Ling were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the Huns. Li Ling moved thousands of miles and shot and killed tens of thousands of Huns' troops.

Long Zhi, who was watching from behind, covered his face with his hands, couldn't bear to watch, and muttered: "What a pity, this group of Yang Suowen will probably suffer heavy casualties.

Tian Bao's mouth was light, and he looked at all this calmly, as if it wasn't his trilogy that fell on the ground, but a group of irrelevant people.

This volley of crossbows at least knocked down more than a hundred of Yang's heard trilogy.

Faced with such a severe blow, Yang Suo's and his subordinates' morale was like a rainbow, arrogant and domineering, and they were even more frightened and chaotic at this time.

Yang Suowen roared: "What's the mess? They are using crossbows. The crossbows are slow to reload, enough for us to reach their front. Then all their crossbows will be ours! Don't be afraid of death, the crossbows can only Shoot once, charge up, they'll just let me kill them!"

This is where Hu Guang's brilliance is. He knows the power of crossbows on his feet, so he deliberately shoots the enemy at medium and close range. The enemy is half man.

"Don't be afraid, be afraid of a bird"

"Yes, the big deal is that I will be a good man again in 18 years!"

"Soldiers are ahead, charge!" Yang Suowen yelled, "Rush up and kill them all!"

The fast-running soldiers of Yang Suowen's Department were panting from exhaustion, their faces turned blue, and they managed to catch up with the light infantry who were running too fast.He didn't even have time to catch his breath, and he was about to grit his teeth and rush forward again.

These fifty soldiers from Yang Suowen's troops formed a thin human wall and charged towards Hu Guang's troops.Yang Suowen, who was excited again, screamed strangely and rushed wildly.

"I really don't know how to live or die." Hu Guang shook his head and sighed, "It's impossible to win against such an opponent."

At this time, the 150 strong crossbowmen of the dead army had completed reloading.The shooting speed of the ballista is slow, in fact, it is only relatively speaking. A qualified archer can shoot a pot of arrows (25 arrows) in half a stick of incense.On average, ten arrows can be shot per minute.Ballistas, on the other hand, can only fire three shots.And an excellent archer and sharpshooter can achieve ten breaths (seconds) and three arrows with eighteen arrows per minute.

Hu Guang ordered lightly: "Archers, shoot!"

When the fifty archers heard the order, they raised their bows and pointed their arrows obliquely at the sky, shooting at the enemy at a 45-degree angle.The movement of the bow and arrow shooting is far less loud than that of the crossbow machine. The thrown bow and arrow drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then fell downward...

"Ahhh..." The screams of Yang Suowen's troops sounded again, this time the bow and arrow shooting was far less powerful than the crossbow shooting.Only a dozen people were hit by arrows, but the morale of Yang Suowen's department was shot to freezing point.

Hu Guang ordered again: "Crossbowmen step forward and shoot!"

150 crossbowmen pulled their engines again. 150 crossbow bolts (the crossbow bolts can only be shot directly, it is said that the crossbow bolts can be thrown, let people try it out) flew to fifty soldiers of Yang Suowen's department.

"Puff puff..." The sound of the crossbow piercing into the flesh sounded, and the soldiers of Yang Suowen looked at the crossbow piercing his chest with more than a third of his body in disbelief, and the blood bloomed magnificently on his chest.

"Ahhh..." screams sounded, and almost none of the fifty soldiers were spared.
