524 Blockade 2
Han Sui first asked the leaders of the two tribes of the Qiang clan to lead 5,000 iron cavalry each, and a total of 10,000 iron cavalry to launch an attack. The sound of cow horns sounded, and the ten thousand iron cavalry should not be underestimated. The scale was also fearful. Ten thousand iron cavalry exerted force together, like thousands of troops galloping. The earth was violently shaking, and yellow gray rose several feet high. Ten thousand Qiang people called incomprehensible language, which made the entire battlefield sound louder. If this was the first time the new recruits who went to the battlefield would definitely be scared to pee their pants. Even infantry in the Central Plains would panic when they saw this formation. After all, the Qiang clan's iron cavalry was also very ferocious, and their combat power was not worse than that of the Xianbei clan and the Xiongnu iron cavalry. They were all ethnic groups who lived on horseback. They had been used to war horses since childhood, and they had truly become a state of unity with war horses and horses. The combat power could be imagined.
The Qiang Iron Cavalry rushed up to the top of the mountain with three hundred steps, which was the range of the crossbow and also entered the range of effective shooting. Lu Xiang waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Let it go!" The team and the trumpets blew the horn of the launch.
As the sound of the horn sounded, the thousand crossbow soldiers in the front row pulled the crossbow machine one after another, and the crossbow machine made continuous and light sounds. Ten thousand crossbow arrows from the thousand crossbow machine flew towards the forward cavalry like raindrops. The sky suddenly became dark and as fast as a meteor, and it pierced hard into the body of the war horse or the soldiers on the horse's back.
The Qiang Iron Cavalry who was rushing forward instantly turned over. Even if the iron cavalry running in front temporarily dodged the killing of crossbow arrows, they would be thrown off the horse by the injured war horse. Before they could stand up, they would be splashed into meat paste by the iron cavalry behind. In just a few dozen seconds, the Qiang Iron Cavalry on the attack lost nearly a thousand people.
Originally, bows and arrows were the natural enemy of cavalry and the nemesis of cavalry. When a cavalry encountered a strong bow, the loss would be huge. Once a strong bow formed an advantage, the running cavalry would be killed. There would be no way for a cavalry to wait for a strong bow. Now the crossbow in the hands of the Big Bear Army is several times more powerful than the strong bow, and the range is much longer. Moreover, the crossbow in the soldier's hands can shoot ten extremely vicious crossbow arrows in just a few dozen seconds, and this speed is incomparable to the strong bow.
After the crossbow arrows in the hands of the first row of 1,000 soldiers, they changed positions in an orderly manner. The soldiers in the front row retreated, and the soldiers in the back row stepped forward and continued to use the crossbow in their hands to shoot against the enemy cavalry that entered the shooting range. This cycle was repeated, and there was basically no stop in the middle. The crossbow arrows would continue to shoot, and the lethality could be imagined. As long as there were a large number of crossbow arrows, no matter how many cavalry you came, you would be in vain and would not get much effect.
This is the power of the Big Bear Army's crossbow. Now the soldiers in the Big Bear Army are equipped with crossbows, which has become the standard configuration. Of course, each crossbow has a number and is also registered and archived when allocating. Even if it is picked up by the enemy on the battlefield, it doesn't matter. After all, the arrows of this kind of crossbow are very special, with a uniform size and size, and are very accurate. The arrows cannot be used even if they are large or small. At present, only the places under the Lu Ning system can be made, and other princes cannot make them at all, because this cannot be solved by human resources. Even if human resources can be made,
That person can create several crossbow arrows a day, at most one or two, which is amazing. But Lu Ning's horses are forged with a thousand kilogram hammer at one time. The manufacturing is very convenient, the speed is also very fast, and the products are very high, and can make tens of thousands of arrows a day. Therefore, soldiers do not consider issues such as saving arrows when using them. As long as you can shoot, you can have as much as you want. In addition, the logistics support of Lu Ning's army is very complete, and all kinds of materials needed on the battlefield can be guaranteed according to time. This is because the soldiers under Da Xiong fight there, the road will be built there, and transportation will be guaranteed.
After losing nearly a thousand cavalry, the Qiang family cavalry bravely rushed up the hillside regardless of casualties, but they could only rush to Li Lu Mine. Lu Xiang's army was basically destroyed by crossbow arrows 200 steps away. This distance was ridiculous for the bows and arrows in their hands. The range of the bows and arrows in their hands was basically less than 200 steps. Unless it was a very small number of general-level figures with great strength, ordinary soldiers could not shoot at such a long distance. Therefore, the entire attack was made by Lu Mine and soldiers under Lu Xiang's soldiers with crossbows to shoot one-sidedly, and the opponent could not fight back, so they could only be passively beaten.
After the rain of ten rounds of crossbow arrows, ten thousand Qiang Iron Cavalry who charged into the battle dropped more than 5,000 cavalry, and two or three thousand soldiers were all covered with color. They could not even rush in front of the Lu Mine and Lu Xiang's army, and they were still some distance away from those mechanism traps. Even if they broke through the crossbow arrows, they would still have to face various mechanism traps, resisting red deer antlers and other defensive fortifications. If they wanted to kill the soldiers of the Big Bear Army, they would not know how much life they would have to pay.
The leaders of the two Qiang tribes dared not attack anymore. They found that their soldiers could only go up and die. However, with just one incense kung fu, they lost more than 5,000 cavalry, and two or three thousand soldiers were injured. The army of 10,000 was basically considered to be disabled. Now there will be no more than 2,000 soldiers who can fight. If they insist on attacking, they will really be wiped out. The two leaders were also lucky, and they were almost shot and killed by the opponent's sniper in the chaos. If it weren't for chaos, they would probably have ascended to heaven.
The two tribe leaders retreated with the remaining soldiers. They were both depressed, very angry and depressed. How to fight this kind of battle? They could only watch the other party shoot their soldiers, but they had no choice but to be beaten passively. What kind of battle is this? It's too embarrassing and too cowardly.
Han Sui watched the entire battle and saw that the Qiang Iron Cavalry could not even attack the opponent's formation, so he was shot and killed by the opponent's crossbow arrows on the way. The whole process was terrible, and it was a unilateral massacre, and his side had not played any role. He also knew that if he continued to fight like this, it would only waste the soldiers' lives in vain. He could only find another way to solve the dilemma. He could not attack again before the solution was found, and the attack was also in vain.
The two retreated leaders of the Qiang tribe returned to Han Sui and said, "Han Gong, the crossbow arrows in the hands of the soldiers of the Big Bear Army are too powerful, with very strong lethality and long range. Our cavalry has no way to do anything. What kind of crossbow is this? How could it be so powerful? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
Han Sui was even more surprised than him. It was the first time he knew that all the soldiers in the Big Bear Army were equipped with crossbow arrows, and it was the first time he knew how powerful such crossbow arrows were. He was also very depressed and could not think of a way to crack them for the time being. At present, he could only withdraw his troops and return to the camp and study countermeasures with his generals after he returned. But there were not many people who could come up with countermeasures, and in the end he had to figure out a way to crack them himself. It was definitely unreliable to rely on his subordinates, but he knew nothing about such crossbow arrows.
Han Sui led the army to withdraw his troops and returned to the camp, built a barracks not far away, and established a large tent. When Lu Mine, Lu Xiang's brothers and his subordinates saw the enemy retreat, they couldn't help but laugh loudly. Someone took the lead and shouted, "We have won!" Then the soldiers were extremely excited, raised their weapons, and they heard loudly, and laughed loudly throughout the sky. Han Sui's army, who had returned, looked ugly and looked ashamed. The 50,000 or 60,000 troops could not capture the small hill where we were stationed, which really made them lose face.
