Three Kingdoms

The Xianbei people have arrived.

Menacing and fierce.

"Are these Han dogs crazy?" Da Danghu frowned and looked at Huang Cheng's infantry formation blocking the other side of the river.

Dadanghu had not fought against the Han army before, and of course he had encountered various situations. However, the current situation surprised Dadanghu. Although his troops were not fully brought out, there were nearly 5,000 cavalry. Can hundreds of Han troops be stopped?

Yes, the position of the Han army is indeed quite embarrassing. Encountering water will indeed slow down the horse's speed, but the difference in numbers and physical strength. Even if the Han army has a geographical advantage, how long can it last? ?

Da Danghu didn’t believe that the Han general on the opposite side was crazy, so it meant that either Han reinforcements were coming, or they had other plans...

But no matter which possibility it is, Dadanghu has only one choice.

The tidal flat across the river was too small for five thousand cavalry, but it didn't matter. As long as the cavalry could rush into the Han army's assembled formation, the Han army's formation would fall apart and tear apart. This has never been an exception in so many years.

When Da Danghu shouted loudly in Hu language, two centurions came out of the formation, walking at a leisurely pace, holding the reins of the horses tightly with their left hand, and holding a sword or a long sword in their right hand. Spear, lean forward, minimize the exposed area, and attack the Han army formation on the other side of the river.

The war horse trotted on the flat river beach at first, then became faster and faster, and soon entered the river. Although the water level dropped in the autumn and only reached the horses' knees, the soft river mud in the river bed and the constant flow of river water caused certain troubles for the horses' movement. The horses charged at an imperceptible speed. It came down...

The river bed of about thirty steps, even if it is dragged down by the mud at the bottom of the river, actually does not take long to flow over. The horses' hooves are trampling chaotically, splashing water, and it is reflected in the rays of the noon sun. Below, it looks like little bits of jade scattered everywhere.

Under the sun, there are not only the colorful reflections of water splashes, but also the swords and spears in the hands of the Xianbei people and the cold light. Up close, you can even see the tanned faces and the yellow mouth exposed. tooth……

The Han army formation stood quietly, like statues. Only the pairs of war-filled eyes in the gaps between shields and helmets proved that they were still a group of living people.

Suddenly, a Xianbei cavalryman who was about to rush ashore suddenly seemed to have stepped on the air. His horse staggered and fell completely into the water. Before the other cavalrymen could react, several more Xianbei cavalrymen fell down out of thin air. The Xianbei cavalrymen behind them tried to dodge, and the entire formation was in chaos.

Huang Cheng laughed in his heart and thought to himself, indeed what Fei Langjun said is true!

At that time, when Fei Qian was casually chatting with Huang Cheng, he once said that on the flat ground, if there were not enough resistance horses at the moment and there was no time to dig a bigger trap, he could dig out densely on the ground. A shallow pit with a depth of about a foot and a half and a diameter as small as the mouth of a bowl is ineffective against infantry, but it can trap horseshoes...

Although it is said that the pit dug in the shallow water will collapse under the push of the water flow after an hour or two, and then it will be ineffective, but now the Xianbei cavalry is indeed caught off guard. There is no way, whoever lets the horses be born with short-sightedness Woolen cloth?

The Xianbei people obviously didn't know what the situation was, and they didn't know what was in the shallow water area that caused the horses to stumble one after another. In panic, they had to avoid their own people who fell in front of them, some changed directions, and some reined in the horses. , the momentum of the entire charge was suddenly lost.

Huang Cheng ignored his pride and seized the opportunity to shout loudly: "Shield points! Attach the crossbow! Volley!"

Every other person in the front row of heavily armored soldiers holding shields took a step back, revealing a row of crossbowmen arrayed behind the shields. A heart-stopping sound of "buzz" sounded. , the arrows and crossbow bolts drew tracks in the air, shooting towards the chaotic Xianbei cavalry line!

The extremely sharp arrows and crossbows are destined to tear and shatter anything blocking the flight direction from the moment they are fired, whether it is rough Magat cloth, or hairless leather robes, or belts. The warm flesh and blood of horses and people, no matter what they are, will never stop until the last trace of power of the arrows and crossbows is exhausted!

The Xianbei cavalry in the front line was almost defenseless under the rain of arrows and crossbows. The horses screamed, staggered, and fell to the ground, while the riders on the horses were being hit by arrows. After the crossbow arrow hit, most of them didn't even have a chance to scream, and fell down on the river beach with the arrow. The blood slowly spread out, dyeing the beach at this end with layers of blood. Vibrant red.

The Xianbei cavalry in front was shot down, but the Xianbei cavalry in the back still did not stop. When Xianbei's own casualties began to occur, the cavalry team further behind no longer cared whether there would be any more cavalry under the hooves of the horses in front. Now that there are comrades in arms, there are only two ways before them, either to rush through this arrow formation, or to be shot to death here alive!

Xianbei's cavalry no longer hesitated or showed pity for the horses. They whipped their horses crazily, facing the rain of arrows, and rushed forward!

Huang Cheng opened his bow, and under the strong bow like a crossbow, several Xianbei cavalry who luckily escaped a round of arrows were shot off their horses by Huang Cheng's arrows. Although some did not necessarily die immediately, they were immediately killed. The horse running from behind trampled the body, and half of the person was stuck in the mud on the river beach. It was obvious that he would not survive no matter what...

The so-called "no more than three shots can be fired in battle" is the theory of the party. In fact, in reality, the power of crossbows is much more terrifying than most people imagine.

Since the high-bridge saddle was still not used in the Han Dynasty, whether by the Han army or the Huns, no matter how superb a rider's riding skills and how powerful his evasion was, he could hide his body behind the body of the war horse, but in the covering mode of the arrow rain Under the blow, as long as an arrow hits any part of the body, although it may not be completely fatal, the penetrating injury caused by the arrow or crossbow, regardless of whether it stays on the body, the impact will knock the rider off the horse. And directly abolished its ability to fight.

And even if they are lucky enough to survive after the battle, soldiers injured by arrows have no medical knowledge and no so-called antibacterial drugs. Many soldiers and even generals will eventually die in pain due to the outbreak of germs and high fever... …

Someone actually told me that the current progress of the project is pretty good...

Um……

In fact, it’s really okay…

Basically, I rarely work overtime at night...

When workers have two days off to play cards...

When work is stopped from time to time to wait for supervision, for project payment, for quality inspection, and for workers to ask for leave to go shopping...

Where is the project manager you ask?

Either I'm farting with the little anchor or I'm masturbating with pesticides...
