Seeing that his team was getting more and more crowded, the horse's head was almost opposite to the horse's butt, Helian Wanza immediately ordered: "Sons, rush out!"

The Hun cavalry at the front had to draw their horses forward. They knew that the person who went up first would not survive. It was not that they were ready to die, but that they had no choice. If they didn't go up, they would die. Perhaps their sacrifice could bring about the life of their tribe members.

At the same time, the soldiers led by Xu Huang and Guan Yu had already rushed over from the two gates in the north and south.

Liu Fan directed the soldiers to clean up all the cars around the city gate. Then thousands of crossbowmen spread out three layers inside and three layers outside, and the remaining three thousand soldiers stood behind the archers with spears.

Fortunately, the view around Jiangyi City is wide, otherwise so many soldiers would not be able to spread in front of a city gate.

Liu Fan changed the original distribution method again, dividing the eight hundred archers in two rounds, one hundred people in one team, and four teams in each round.

Considering that the enemy's attack was even more fierce next time, Liu Fan expanded the density of bows and arrows more than twice, but it was a pity that these good horses were.

As for the 200 crossbowmen holding arms and opening crossbows, Liu Fan regarded him as a surprise weapon and responded to changes in the world.

The arm-opening crossbow is a six-stone crossbow. It can shoot arrows out quickly if it draws two stones. A few arm-opening crossbows can trigger three stones or even four stones. This arm-opening crossbow Liu Fan can draw all six stones away. Although it is a six-stone crossbow, the bow string that draws six stones will not be able to support it.

There is no exact record of the weight of a stone in the Han Dynasty, because it is a stone weighed according to a bucket, and the bucket is a unit of capacity. The weight of weighing millet and rice is completely different. It is also a bucket. The rice is at least 20 kilograms heavier than millet. One bucket is 2,000 millets, and one stone is 20,000 millets. If the weight of a stone is calculated by using rice, one stone is about 120 kilograms of a Han Dynasty.

Compared with crossbows, it is much more difficult to open a bow. Yue Fei, a famous general in the later generations, was able to open an eight-stone heavy crossbow, but could only open a three hundred kilogram iron-tied bow.

In this era, Lu Bu was the best in the world and opened a three-stone bow. Huang Zhong was unparalleled in archery skills and used two-stone iron-body bows. On the other hand, Taishici, who is also famous for his archery skills, could only use a one-stone and six-dozen bow.

Many people think that the strength they have can open multiple bows. In fact, this is not the case. Drawing a bow does not rely on one force to reduce ten times, but on ten times to reduce one force. Bows are different from crossbows. They do not focus on them. If you want to shoot the arrow smoothly, you must put your heart on the arrow.

Bows and crossbows have their own strengths and weaknesses.

The bow and arrow are simple to make, can equip soldiers on a large scale, easy to carry, and the speed of loading arrows is fast, but the shooting accuracy depends entirely on the archer's own technical level.

The accuracy of crossbow arrows is high, and soldiers can quickly master them. They have huge power and long range. The mortality rate of crossbows on the battlefield is very high. Its disadvantage is that it is complex in production and slow loading arrows. Usually, three arrows can be shot with a bow, so that one crossbow can be shot.

As an important weapon for non-contact enemies on the battlefield of cold weapons, crossbows have played a very important role for thousands of years.

The Hun cavalry had red eyes and charged towards the city gate with no chance.

At a distance of fifty steps, Liu Fan ordered the archer to shoot arrows.

The Huns continued to follow, and the people and horses in front fell down, and the cavalry behind them stepped on their bodies and continued to run towards the city gate.

Some Hun knights fell to the ground without death, and were immediately trampled to death by the Hun cavalry behind them, and then they also followed in the footsteps.

The Han army didn't care about arrows at all, and eight hundred archers kept pouring into the city gate. After a while, the bodies of people and horses at the city gate were piled up with a thick layer, and even the city gate was about to be blocked.

Countless Huns dismounted and dragged away the bodies of the people blocking the door and horses. They had already heard the screams of the people behind them. The creepy screams made them scared.

"Report to Sima, hundreds of cavalry of the Huns are harassing our army's rear with bows and arrows. Please decide." A soldier came over to report to Liu Fan.

"The hundreds of cavalry are probably the scouts of the Xiongnu, and they are overestimating their abilities." Liu Fan told Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Zhou Cang beside him: "It is unwise to send troops to chase after the Hunnu scouts. Yun Chang, Gongming, and Yuan Fu, I ordered you three to ride horses to chase them, so that they must not leave any future troubles."

The fires soared into the sky here, and you could see them across a hundred miles away. The Hun scouts were attracted by the fire. When they saw the Han soldiers surrounding the city gate, they knew it was terrible.

"No!" Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang took a step forward and bowed.

Guan Yu and the other two took their respective weapons and climbed onto the horse's back and rushed towards the hundreds of Hun cavalry.

The Huns scouts quickly fled. They were not afraid of Guan Yu and the other two, but were thousands of soldiers behind Guan Yu and the other three.

In this way, a funny scene appeared. Guan Yu and the other two chased hundreds of Hun cavalry. They were afraid that Guan Yu and the other two would be ambushed behind him, so they could only turn around and shoot an arrow occasionally.

The Hun cavalry ran westward, and with a considerable east wind, they were shooting archers against the wind, which did not cause any harm to Guan Yu and others. What's more, with the eyes of Guan Yu and others, they could resist the speeding bows and arrows.

Both sides ran and chased after them. After a while, the Hun cavalry saw that the four fields were open here and there was no possibility of ambushing them. So they all turned their horses over. The three Han people were too arrogant and they could not bear it anymore.

The three cavalry battles against hundreds of cavalry, which seems to be a disproportionate battle, but Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Zhou Cang are not afraid at all.

In an instant, the two sides collided, and a Hun cavalry was cut off in half by Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword. He moved forward without anybody.

Xu Huang held a mountain-opening axe in his hand. The weight of this axe was not lighter than that of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Xu Huang used an axe to slash the Hun cavalry who was blocking him off the horse. His arm strength was extraordinary, but his moves were a bit rough.

Zhou Cang held an eight-foot-long iron spear in his hand, and pierced the body of a Hun knight with one shot. He picked up the body of the Hun knight, threw it out with force, and knocked two Hun cavalry off the horse in one go. Zhou Cang's fighting style was entirely brute force and had no moves at all. If a master of guns taught him a few tricks, Zhou Cang would definitely become a first-class general.
