The copper thorns and copper nails dropped by the Jiuyuan Army a hundred steps away from the phalanx played a role.
This special nail with three-sided spikes not only saves the time of throwing, but also makes the lethality infinitely magnified.
The horses under the crotch of the Donghu cavalry without horseshoes, as long as they entered the range of one hundred steps, they all fell to the ground with a mournful cry.The Donghu cavalry on horseback flew out of the horseback with strong momentum and fell to the ground.
The Donghu cavalry who were too close behind stumbled in the face of the sudden horse, and they were not in a hurry to stop. They immediately bumped into the fallen horse or Donghu cavalry and rolled into a ball.
The Donghu cavalry that had been crushed suddenly fell into chaos.
At this time, everyone knew that it was the Qin people who had spilled something on the ground, so that so many war horses all around could stumble.
But they have no time to think.
Death, with a sharp whistling sound, fell from the air.
Exactly the same state, exactly the same result.However, it seems that the crossbow volley this time is comparable to the first time.
More than [-] crossbow bolts and nearly [-] crossbow bolts have similar killing effects. The Donghu cavalry should actually thank the Jiuyuan Army for the copper thorns scattered a hundred steps away to deal with the Donghu people's horseshoes.
It is precisely because these copper thorns played their role first that more Donghu people escaped.
But even so, after a series of blows from large-scale crossbow shooting machines and two waves of crossbow arrows and copper thorns, the Donghu cavalry has dropped from 20 to less than 15 in less than a quarter of an hour.
Running all the way, in a short distance of 20 steps, in less than 5 quarters of an hour, [-] Donghu warriors fell at least [-] people.
Even when the Xiongnu's nearly [-] troops raided the Donghu king's tent.Nor did it cause so much damage to the Donghu people in such a short period of time.The reason why the Huns were able to uproot the Donghu king's tent was in the final analysis because of the surprise attack of the Huns.
If, the Xiongnu and Donghu faced each other openly.Even if Maodun could finally destroy Donghu, the Xiongnu would at least have to pay a huge price.
But now, the 20 Donghu people have not even touched a single hair of the Qin people.Nearly a quarter of the casualties have been lost.How can we not frighten all the Donghu cavalry?
If possible, all the Donghu cavalry did not want to face the stormy attack of the Qin people again.
But, obviously, they can't help but face it.
Fortunately, after the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army fired this wave of crossbow arrows, they no longer wasted time on the crossbow arrows.Numerous small shields in their hands appeared densely above the heads of the Jiuyuan Army infantry.
There are at most forty steps, and they will enter the range of the strong bow in the hands of the Huns.
Although they suffered heavy losses in just a few waves of blows, they are still twice as many soldiers as the Jiuyuan Army.Moreover, it is obvious that not all the barbarians of the Huns will appear around the Nine Plains Army.
More than [-] Xiongnu barbarians, as long as they enter their range.In just sixty steps, they were able to shoot at least three arrows.The three arrows will far exceed the number of crossbow arrows that the Jiuyuan Army just poured over the heads of the Donghu barbarians.
That is the real eclipse.
The Jiuyuan Army fought numerous battles with the Huns, big and small, and they are well aware of the fighting methods of this nomadic people who have long plagued the northern frontier of Great Qin.
The Jiuyuan Army rarely used pure infantry against the cavalry of the Huns and barbarians, let alone the cavalry of the Huns that was several times their own.
most of the time.The Xiongnu cavalry all used wolf pack tactics, taking advantage of the good mobility of the cavalry to adopt guerrillas, and constantly harassed the border of the Great Qin Dynasty.However, since the shocking battle, facing the elite scouts of the Nine Plains Army like wolves and tigers, the Huns can no longer go south on a large scale.Even the thousand-man team rarely enters the border of Daqin.
When fighting against the Huns cavalry, the Qin army's excellent ordnance has an inherent advantage when it exceeds the range of the Huns' strong bow.But once the Huns cavalry enters the range of their strong bows, the feathered arrows of the Huns will be a nightmare for any pure infantry army.
Whether it is the generals or ordinary soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, they are very aware of this.Therefore, the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army who went out to fight in the city this time basically had a small shield in hand, and they took out all the shields, large and small, stored in the treasury of Jiuyuan City, and barely made up enough.
And these shields will be the only effective means of defense against the overwhelming feather arrows of the Huns.
After the Feather Arrow passed, when the Huns officially charged into battle, that would be the real confrontation between the two armies.
Who wins and who loses has to be fought out with real swords and guns.
The distance of forty steps was less than a few breaths under the four horseshoes of the Donghu cavalry.
"Buzz!"
All the Donghu cavalrymen unanimously raised their strong bows while galloping, and shot the first powerful arrow with their bows and arrows.Immediately afterwards, without a pause, he continued to pick up his bow and set his arrows.
In the blink of an eye, three consecutive arrows have been shot.
Some Donghu cavalry with fast hands even shot four arrows.
What is covering the sky and the sun? When you really face the cavalry of the Donghu cavalry, you will know what it is to cover the sky and the sun.
Three consecutive waves of thick feathered arrows flew towards the phalanx of Jiuyuan Army infantry with a roar.
A thick black shadow completely covered the sunlight above the Jiuyuan Army's head.
This is not the volley of more than [-] Donghu cavalry, but the volley of the Donghu cavalry who ran ahead and entered the range of the strong bow in their hands!Behind these Donghu cavalry, at least half of the Donghu cavalry are still galloping, and they have not yet entered the range.
The feathered arrows that covered the sky and the sun fell from the sky in an instant.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!" The voice kept ringing in my ears.Occasionally, there were also the sound of feathered arrows passing through the gaps in the shields penetrating the gaps in the armor and shooting into the flesh and blood of soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, as well as low screams and grunts.
The shield can cover part of the feather arrows, but everyone knows that he can't cover all the feather arrows.
The Jiuyuan Army finally began to suffer casualties.
Three waves of feathered arrows fell, and at least nearly ten thousand soldiers of the Qin Army on the outermost periphery of the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx were shot by the feathered arrows of the Donghu people.But there are very few soldiers who were actually killed directly.There are shields covering the vital parts of the body, even if the Donghu cavalry's feathered arrows penetrate the gaps between the shields, they can only shoot into the exposed thighs or arms of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army.
Only a few less than a thousand people were directly shot to the vitals by the feather arrows of the Donghu cavalry and died in battle.
The wounded soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army calmly pulled out the feather arrows stuck in their arms, thighs, and shoulders, bleeding out streams of blood.Then he tightly grasped the bronze sword in his hand.
By this time, the Donghu cavalry was about to have its first frontal collision with the Jiuyuan Army infantry phalanx.
Less than ten steps away.
The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army holding spears could already clearly see the hideous faces and crazy eyes of the Donghu cavalrymen.When all the Eastern Hu cavalry faced the densely packed giant shields of the Jiuyuan Army and the long sharp spears protruding from the gaps in the giant shields, they knew what would happen if they bumped into them.
But collision is also death, if you don't collide, you may die faster.
Because the Donghu cavalry behind their buttocks are already densely packed at such a distance, if they don't hit the giant steel shield of the Jiuyuan Army, they will be knocked down by the Donghu cavalry behind them, and then trampled to death.
The distance of ten steps is less than one breath.
