Chapter 164 (1/2)
Looking at the Qiang people's ironriding galloping like a flood, the archers among the government and army were already ready to set up their bows and arrows. One by one, the sharp arrows were put on the tight bowstring. As the archer's powerful arm pulled backward, it made a slight trembling sound.
”Ready!”
At the end of the battle, more than a thousand Han soldiers stepped on the huge bow and crossbow with their feet, put a huge arrow with the thickness of two fingers on the bow string, pulled the bow string with two arms, and fell back, squatting on the ground.
This huge bow and crossbow is called Puzhang crossbow. Ordinary people can't pull it off at all. They have to press with their feet and use both arms to pull the bowstring. The most common bow and crossbow can shoot 300 steps at most, and the maximum range of the Pui crossbow can reach 500 or even 600 steps, which can be called a big killing weapon, second only to the bed crossbow used for attacking the city.
The commander waved his arms without hesitation as he watched the 15000 Qiang people's iron horse rush into the range.
Let go!
Collapse!
Countless bowstring sounds instantly, and a thousand pouting crossbows release a thousand two finger arrows. The arrows carry huge kinetic energy and fall down, just like a thousand throwing guns suddenly falling.
The fast-moving Qiang people's iron horse looked up in surprise, and saw that all of a sudden, black shadows fell down on Hu Qi's body. The thick arrow easily penetrated the body of Hu Qi. One arrow penetrated directly from the front chest of Hu Qi. The strength of the arrow directly penetrated through his chest and abdomen. It came out from the back. The huge wound was bleeding continuously. The body of Hu Qi was shaking and fell off the horse.
Some horses were hit by thick arrows on the spot. Sharp arrows were inserted into the horse's head like a long sword. The aching horse raised its head and hissed wildly. The owner of the horse was lifted off and went bankrupt on the spot.
More than 1000 arrows killed more than 400 horsemen on the spot, but the arrows with two fingers thick and thin were not fired again. As the saying goes, when facing a high-speed cavalry, it takes only one chance to send out a crossbow.
In fact, Li Wenhou was also covered by the range of his pouting crossbow. However, loyal soldiers around him raised their shields to prevent him from being robbed.
”Don't be afraid! The Han Army's pouting crossbow can't be served. Give it to me. ”
Li Wenhou glared at the dense army in front of him. As long as the Qiang people's iron cavalry could be killed in the army, the flesh and blood of the Han army could not resist the horses' hooves and swords.
Chong, kill in and destroy these vulnerable soldiers. Yongliang Prefecture is our Qiang people's world from today. Han people should get out of Sanfu and Tongguan!
Although they suffered a round of shooting with pouting crossbows, a large number of Qiang people's irons did not stop charging. Instead, they accelerated their horses in their crotch, trying to avoid the range of the Han army. They slashed their swords and horses into the Han Army's array, which was like destroying a group of broken sacks.
”The enemy has reached 200 paces!”
”The enemy has reached 150 paces!”
The officers at the front line kept on conveying the distance of Hu Qi, until Hu Qi rushed into the effective range, and the tight bowstring of Han Army's bow and crossbow was finally relaxed.
”Shoot!”
