Chapter 192 (1/2)

This time, however, it was Zhang jaw first. Liu Ye's rear hall just caught the heavy loss of Jiangdong soldiers in the middle.

After Liu Ye's death, they are not satisfied with the sound of Liu Ye's soldiers chasing after Liu Bojian.

Although the number of Hu cavalry is almost four times as many as his own army, Liu Ye is not at all alarmed. Instead, he looks calm, as if he has a plan in mind.

After a few miles of galloping, we can see that on the open field ahead, an army of nearly 5000 soldiers stands on the field, and the general flag is very visible.

Sun Jian can't help being stunned when he sees the scene in front of him: is this what Liu Ye relies on? To go to 5000 infantry to resist 20000 cavalry?

Yu Jin, who is in the array of soldiers, sees Liu Ye's troops galloping from afar. Hu Qi follows him closely and orders immediately.

”The Bowman draws the bow and sets the string!”

”Get ready to pull the crossbow.”

Of the 5000 troops, 2000 were soldiers of Tianshui County, and the remaining 3000 were from Zhou Shen's army, all of whom were archers. In addition, Yu Jin also specially recruited nearly 1000 pouting crossbows from Zhou Shen's army.

Now all these 5000 people are archers.

In the front row, the bowmen are half kneeling, the rear ones are standing upright, and the third row are raising their arms slightly.

Thousands of Han Army bowmen sat on the ground, their feet stepped on the huge pout crossbow, and both hands grasped the bowstring with both hands. Then the whole body suddenly fell to the ground, and the two fingers of arrow were slowly wound up. There was no doubt that even if the arrow did not hit the key point, it could kill people.

Below, as the hooligan was approaching, he stood on the road.

”The enemy has reached 150 paces!”

”Shoot!”

With Yu Ban's command, the Han archers with tight arms immediately gave up. A dense rain of arrows suddenly covered the sky, covering thousands of horsemen in front of them.

In the Hu riding array, people screamed and fell to the ground from time to time, especially the crossbow arrows launched by nearly a thousand pouting crossbows, which were two fingers thick and thin enough, and were surprisingly powerful.

Why could the Qin army drive out the Huns from Hetao plain? We should know that the cavalry force of the Qin army is far less than that of the Xiongnu. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States period, the cavalry force of the state of Zhao is the most. Since then, the cavalry of the state of Zhao has remained high.

However, neither the state of Zhao in Hufu or the Huns on horseback were rivals of the Qin army. The main reason was the crossbow.

Qin army and the enemy base, first with intensive crossbow cover type attack, and then step out.

In fact, it is very simple, crude and effective. In fact, it is the same as the Japanese invasion of China, artillery bombardment and infantry attack.

Two fingers of crossbow arrow whistling down, fiercely penetrated the chest of a horseman. The powerful force pushed the crossbow arrow forward. After penetrating the chest, it was shot into the neck of a horse. The powerful force directly shot the horse to the ground and convulsed.

The horse in the front row was shot to the ground, and was immediately trampled into flesh and mud by the iron horse rushing up from behind. However, the horse in front of him and his comrades were all stumbling blocks. Many horsemen were directly tripped over by fallen horses and corpses, and fell to the ground.
