Chapter 38 Engagement
"Cross, queue..."
The scout released ten miles away, which was the rule of the Yun family. It was completely impossible to rush into the Great Wall now, but fortunately there was the Great Wall behind it. The enemy could only raid from the front, and Cang Hu immediately commanded the guards of the Yun family and the soldiers from Longyou.
In fact, he just put the carriage across, and the stopping gates were put tightly. He was afraid that the horse would be frightened after being shot by the stray arrow. If he pulled the carriage and rushed into the military formation, it would be done.
"Canghu, pull that thing out, everyone in the Yun family hid behind the car. The big car was on the baffle, and I don't know where such a dark celestial being came out."
When Yun Xiao saw Canghu put the Yun family's cavalry on both wings like routine, he hurriedly stopped Canghu and retreated all the Yun family's townsmen to the back of the cart.
Eight big trucks were pulled to the front of the team, "Prepare, let it go." As the cradle was knocked, a huge cloth bag on the trench was thrown out, and only a rush was heard in the dark air. Then there were countless jingles.
"Let the torch light in and adjust the angle to the farthest."
The enemy in the dark is the most terrifying. Yun Xiao doesn't want to fight an invisible opponent. This catapult cart can easily throw the torch out of six or seven hundred steps. The three-bow bed crossbow behind him has been creaking and squeaking. The thick gunpowder crossbow has been mounted, and Yun Xiao doesn't care about it at this time. Being able to see tomorrow's sun alive is better than anything else.
The wood blocks covered with pine resin were lit, and the trencher's siege was smashed down again. The pine blocks were thrown far away, and eight red dots lit up on the horizon in the dark. Although it was very weak, it was much stronger than a mess of blackness.
Junchen Shanyu waited for a long time this day. Finally, a group of damn Han troops dared to step out of the tall city wall to protect them. They must crush these guys, crush them into pieces, chop them into meat sauce. He had already experienced too many failures before this pass, and now it is time to prove the bravery of the Great Huns.
Ever since a Hun cavalry who escaped from Yulin told him the news of the Han army, Junchen Shanyu was ready to kill them. Behind him were six thousand of the most elite cavalrymen. He did not believe that with his elite cavalrymen, he would not be able to defeat this Han army with more than two thousand.
The sound of horse hooves was like the tide of Qiantang River, rumbling towards Yun Xiao and the others. I couldn't see how many people were in the dark, but I could only see that the pine blocks were blocked almost instantly. The horizon returned to the darkness.
"Release the gunpowder crossbow." Cang Hu ordered anxiously.
"Swoosh" "Swoosh" twelve thick gunpowder crossbows passed the heads of the village warriors and Longyou soldiers and flew out. "Bosh" "Bosh" twelve orange-red flames suddenly exploded on the dark ground. In the fire, you can see the blown Huns, horses and big piles of earth and snow flying everywhere.
The huge explosion frightened many Xiongnu horses. These war horses ran wildly in a slump. They no longer listened to the knights on their backs. They were worthy of being the cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters. They were only slightly panicked. They quickly adjusted their formation and rushed towards the direction of the gunpowder crossbow.
"Cater, throw the torch to the minimum range." Yun Xiao ordered, standing next to the catapult.
A sound of ga-branching came, and the trencher picked up the maximum elevation angle. The wooden blocks covered with pine oil were quickly ignited and then threw out. After several rounds of consecutive rounds, the flames were already full of great flames. In the flames, the soldiers in Longyou were surprised to find a layer of shiny little things on the ground. I don’t know what it seemed to be very valuable.
While the guys were looking around curiously, a handful of arrows had already shot out of the darkness. Most of the Longyou soldiers hiding in the carriage heard a "aggressive" sound, and countless arrows were nailed to the thick carriage board of the four-wheeled carriage. None of the curious guys were spared. They were all shot in the carriage. They were all shot in the head, and it was obvious that they were not saved.
"Stay steady, don't fight back. Fuck, don't fight back." Cang Hu's roared in the dark with a broken gong-like voice, cursing the Longyou soldiers who were blindly fighting back into the darkness. The crossbow arrows were very slow to rush, which caused the rate of fire between the crossbow and the bow to be incomparable. These guys were shooting blindly into the darkness, which was no different from wasting arrows. They also took precious time to wind the string, so how could Cang Hu not curse?
The rumbling horse hooves were closer, and the Huns in the dark screamed and shot out the arrows in their hands. The local heroes of the Yun family took off small round shields and protected them one after another.
If these Longyou killers had not experienced a cavalry charge, they would have been scared to death at this moment. However, the last time the person who escaped was miserable, and none of them survived until now. Everyone mentioned those who had caused their money to be confiscated and they would be held on the front line every time they attacked the city.
Finally, a war horse ran into the flames roaring. These knights were indeed very elite. They could clamp the horse's body with their legs and free up their hands to pull the bow and shoot arrows. You know, there were no stirrups on their saddles. The Yun family's local hero could not practice this riding technique even after three or five years.
Seeing that the Huns' cavalry were about to rush over, something strange happened. Just like last time, many Huns' knights rushed down from their horses and fell to the ground. Some people fell to the ground and struggled for a few times before they stopped moving. Ming was obviously killed by being directly killed.
The soldiers in Longyou widened their eyes. The last time they dug small holes themselves. But now no one digs the holes, how could such a thing happen? Could it be God's blessing? The strange scene made them forget to shoot with the crossbow arrows in their hands.
"Baby, shoot them quickly. Shoot those alive, even a girl can shoot even if she is eighty steps. The gunpowder crossbow adjusts the range and shoots."
Seeing that the soldiers in Longyou looked demented, Cang Hu was so anxious that he jumped straight into his feet, cursing and yelling, asking these people to shoot.
The Longyou Army soldiers who woke up from their dreams then realized their reactions, aimed at the crossbow arrows in their hands and shot at the fallen Hun knights. The distance of eighty steps was as Cang Hu said. Even a woman could shoot a person. Although the Longyou Army soldiers had poor skills, they were definitely much better than a woman.
