Hundreds of heavy horses rushed violently, although the ground could not be called shaking, but its momentum was absolutely huge.
Forming a gun array, some timid people really wanted to escape in the face of the rolling heavy cavalry if they hadn't seen their companions around them calm.
This has nothing to do with whether you are timid or not, it is purely a survival instinct of people.
But the timid are surrounded by some people who look calm, and they will subconsciously hesitate, thinking: My companions are insisting, so I will insist on it too Whoever stipulates that a hero must be a bold person, and a hero is often born inadvertently, after a short hesitation, and before he reacts, he has become a hero and died.
True warriors don't hesitate, they don't hesitate in the face of the rolling hooves of the horses, not because they are system soldiers.
The Dragon Guardian rushed in, and in an instant there were bursts of screams and screams, the impact force was at least one ton or more, and if it hit the spear, it was useless to have a piece of armor to block it, it was directly pierced, but the next moment the spear's shaft would be broken, or the spear would be knocked and knocked away by too strong force.
At the moment of the collision, the dragon guard on horseback was violently thrown out by a force, and the mount was pierced into the body by the spear and let out a wail, the horse lost its front hooves, and the horse's head slammed down.
One after another of the mounted heavy horsemen were consumed, and they may have died, but the knights who slammed forward smashed into a clearing and disturbed the gun formation; The dead horses really began to plough the ground with the force of the forward rush, and the place they passed must have crashed into an area, or it would cause the formation of the Han army to be chaotic.
The loss of forty horsemen crashed or disrupted the Han army's gun array, and in the next moment, more dragon guards broke in, and they were less powerful with the threat of spears, but the picture they expected to see did not happen, and the Han army's foot soldiers did not panic and fled The rhythm is completely wrong, how can there be infantry who is not afraid of the heavy cavalry charge The correct rhythm should be that the infantry panicked in the face of the cavalry charged, and ran around one by one crying and shouting, messing up their formation In fact, many Han soldiers were absolutely frightened, constantly shouting "Niang" or muttering unconsciously, and after being terrible to the extreme, their whole body stiffened, causing them to freeze their bodies and stay in place honestly, and even because they were too nervous, they were able to grasp the spear in their hands with greater force.
Zhao Qian watched as a horse that had lost its owner crashed into the robe in front of him, and when he reached his side, his hooves were already weak, and he dragged his belly to the ground, which was a palm in front of him.
At that time, he had to admit that he was really scared to pee, his crotch was wet, and his head was a little blank.
Mother, Zhao Qian, can swear that this is definitely not the first time he has peed his crotch on the battlefield, and he actually urinated on the battlefield for the first time.
He subconsciously touched the head of the horse in front of him with the head of the spear, and the head of the spear collided with the armor of the horse's forehead with a crisp sound, and the thick iron armor made a crisp sound The heavy collision and exclamations were mixed together, and the charging Longteng guards rushed into the Han army's infantry one after another, although the Han infantry did not appear too obviously panicked, but the Longteng guards still plowed into it strongly, and rushed straight inward for nearly one hundred and twenty meters before they lost speed.
At the moment when the Dragon Teng Guards were charging into battle, the three thousand Hu people were enjoying the dense arrows like raindrops.
Hu people's light cavalry was diffused by the crossbow when it was 450 steps and 675 meters, in fact, the number of crossbows was only fifty, and the target that could be shot was just like that, that is, the scene after a crossbow arrow shot at the target was tragic enough, and the knight was shot away, even the people and horses were directly nailed to the ground and were very cruel.
Entering three hundred steps and 450 meters is covered by strong crossbows, and the strong crossbowmen on the side of the Han army are only seven or eight hundred, which can cover an area of about 300 meters at a time.
The crossbow should be fired at a frequency of ten breaths in a wave of about 12 seconds At 200 paces and 300 meters, it was covered by strong crossbows and strong bows, and at this distance, the Hu people's light cavalry seemed to have stepped into hell mode, rushing forward one after another, but under the cover of wave after wave of arrows, how much they rushed forward was how much people turned on their backs.
Entering the distance of 100 steps and 150 meters, the Huren light cavalry was actually in a state of chaos, there was no formation, and some were galloping forward.
They were in all sorts of moods looking forward to rushing into battle, but they were within range of the crossbowmen.
The crossbowmen fired their crossbow arrows without stopping, so that the crossbow arrows in mid-air flew one after another with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and they were so dense that they would even collide with each other.
The three thousand Hu light cavalry that was continuously covered by the rain of arrows rushed to a hundred steps away from the Han army, in fact, they had already lost at least eight hundred horses, and no one would pay too much attention to them when they rushed forward, and the result was that the remaining two thousand two hundred horses continued to move forward with the cover of the crossbow.
The Hu people who stepped forward could not see what kind of situation they were facing, but Deng Heng's line of sight could see clearly.
It is no longer a tragic can be described, the Hu light horses are either dense or scattered galloping, their rush forward seems to have crashed into a barrier, raindrops of crossbow arrows continue to fall, how many Hu people light horses rush into the barrier composed of crossbow arrows and fall headlong, gradually the corpses of people and horses are piled up into a hill made of flesh.
Originally, the Shijie Zhao army, who had successfully cheered because of the Dragon Guard's charge into battle, had already stopped shouting, and the scenes they saw were different depending on their position, but they could always see how dense the arrows that were constantly being shot into the sky, causing the light to dim.
You don't have to look at the tragic situation on the battlefield, everyone knows what kind of situation will be caused by such dense arrow coverage.
"Strong crossbows and repeating crossbows" Deng Heng laughed as if he was crying: "The intelligence does not show that the Han army has so many crossbows, or even repeating crossbows. ” Most of the Shijie Zhao generals and colonels, they obviously have a lot of ideas at this moment, but their minds are blank.
If there is a crossbow on the car, if this thing does not have the effect of scaring recruits, the actual effect can only be shown in siege warfare.
But the existence of strong crossbows and repeating crossbows, the existence of these two things is extremely terrifying.
The advent of the crossbow changed the war, not because of how far it ranged, or how powerful it was, but because the crossbow could greatly increase the number of long-range troops, all because the archer needed a long time of training, but the crossbowman could carry the crossbow and fire it after a period of training.
To say that the crossbow changed warfare is recorded in history.
Before the appearance of crossbows, only samurai with constant production were eligible to join the army, and samurai usually did not produce anything, but only practiced martial arts, melee combat skills, and long-range bow and arrow shooting methods.
Because of the need for professionalism, the number of troops who repeatedly participated in the war was greatly reduced, and civilians basically did not participate in the war.
The appearance of crossbows made civilians qualified to participate in the war, a samurai who had been the same for decades, and no matter how brave he was in the face of the crossbow, he could kill it with a single crossbow arrow, which directly hit the existence of the samurai.
If you can train for a short time and then you can go to battle, the number of battles will increase.
In history, before the appearance of crossbows, there were already a lot of troops composed of 2,000 samurai, but after the appearance of crossbows, the door was opened for civilians to participate in the war, and the participation of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops became a common situation.
"The Han army has a crossbow, and even a woman can fight with a crossbow."
Cui Xuan's face was like ashes: "At this time, it is no longer appropriate to calculate how many soldiers Liu Yan can fight, as long as Liu Yan is willing to pull up a sufficient number of troops at any time." ” Deng Heng took a deep breath, the large-scale appearance of the crossbow not only had that effect, but also indicated several things, the productivity of the Han army was far stronger than imagined, and then the cavalry no longer represented an advantage.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling brought 5,000 troops, just because there were enough crossbows and enough arrows, the result was that the 5,000 infantry army resisted the attack of 30,000 cavalry, killing more than 10,000 cavalry, until the arrows were consumed.
And the battle took place on the plains The Dragon Teng Guardian fell in, and the light cavalry was unable to break through the arrow array to complete the follow-up impact, and Deng Heng's attempt failed this time.
Not only did the attempt fail, but it can even be said that because of the unexpected, in the end, only more than 600 light cavalry escaped back, and the rest were either killed on the spot or captured, which means that the Shijie Zhao army on this battlefield could not rely on the remaining 600 or so cavalry to seize any initiative.
"Withdraw" Deng Heng's face was discouraged: "I'm done, it's completely finished." ” Cui Xuan said incoherently: "We are all finished, Your Majesty will definitely peel our skins" It's not the first time Shi Hu has done the skinning thing, and he can definitely continue to do the skinning thing again, no matter whether the war can maintain a stalemate after that, Deng Heng and Cui Xuan both think that they are dead.
The difference is whether they can die happily, and then whether their families can not be implicated.
The battle on the battlefield was over, and the Shijie Zhao army took the initiative to withdraw the remaining forces, allowing the Han army to occupy the remaining camp very easily.
Xu Zheng ordered to clean up the battlefield and came to the front with Ji Chang, and they sent the literati Su Ding to surrender.
Su Ding was invited by Lu Yi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in a letter, and currently has no fixed position in the Han Army, which can be regarded as an adjutant.

The work of the assistant is very complicated, Su Ding originally wanted to observe more before deciding whether to develop in the Han Department, but after watching the battlefield just now, he didn't need to observe anything, and directly took the initiative to ask for the work of persuading him to surrender, and he really wanted to work hard.
Su Ding rode forward alone, in the past, he would be worried that he would be shot to death without even having a chance to speak, but now he is full of confidence, which is the confidence given by the army behind him:
