Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 751 Sudden Counterattack

  The screams of the soldiers of the Han army can be heard from time to time, but they can't shake Xu Huang's determination. He is very clear about the meaning of such an order when he issued such an order. No matter how heavy the casualties of the soldiers maintaining the baggage car line are, he will not blink his eyes. Hu Qi entered this well-arranged trap, and the sacrifice of these soldiers was worth it.

  Why did the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu fight so hard every time?

There may be many reasons, but one of the most important ones is that the Huns or the nomads in the north have four legs, so they have more initiative on the battlefield. It is the correct choice to give these wandering Hu Qi a hard time.

  Otherwise, is it possible to let Hu Qi retreat easily and cruise around, while he is always on guard against attacks that may come suddenly from somewhere?

  Xu Huang is from Bingzhou.

  Bingzhou has been advocating martial arts since the former Qin Dynasty, and it is also the birthplace of military strategists and legalists. What's more, it has been invaded by Hu people in recent years. Xu Huang is naturally very clear about the habits of Hu people.

   To scare the barbarian, he must be more ruthless, more brutal, less afraid of death, and more ruthless than the barbarian!

Since Feiqian has given him full power to deal with it, then he must let these barbarians have a long memory, let them remember the name of the Xu family, remember the three-color flag of Feiqian flying in the camp, and remember the behavior of the Han people at this moment. The **** bravery and force that came out, remember the pain that will tear your heart when you think about it!

  Xu Huang roared loudly: "Raise the crossbowman flag! Free rapid fire!"

The flying dog flag with red background and black stripes was raised high. Row after row of crossbowmen quickly ran out from behind the tents. There is a certain height difference from the soldiers on the baggage cart line above the grain bags.

  Accompanied by the orders of the middle and lower ranks of the crossbowmen, the crossbow arrows passed over the heads of the Han army in the train formation one by one, and rushed towards the crowded Huqi!

The crossbow dragged out a long afterimage in the air, and instantly passed through the red blood mist above the train formation, and with an indomitable momentum, it slammed viciously on the head of the barbarian sitting on horseback. …

   Smash.

Yes.

   It was like being hit by a heavy hammer.

  Crossbow bolts are shorter and heavier than arrows, but they have greater kinetic energy. Since the crossbow bolts are shot at such a short distance, their lethality is even more astonishing.

  The reason why crossbow bolts are more lethal than arrows is because crossbows are more destructive to the human body than arrows, and are more terrifying!

From the moment the heavy crossbow arrow broke through the skin, the crossbow was hindered by the bones thousands of times greater than the air resistance. Because the crossbow did not have a long tail like the arrow, it was less stable. With the sudden increase of resistance, the speed of rotation of the crossbow arrow decreased, and it began to sway from side to side. As a result, the contact area of ​​the crossbow bolt to the human body was larger than that of the arrow, and the wound was also larger, not only the penetrating wound, but also the tearing wound. Hollow effect, this kind of injury, in ancient times without surgery, was basically a fatal injury that could not be saved...

Even if the crossbow didn't hit the bones, it didn't damage vital organs such as the internal organs and the brain, but only penetrated the muscles of the arms or other parts. A penetrating wound with hollow front and back is formed. Such a wound cannot heal naturally in a short period of time, and it will also cause a large amount of blood loss and even death.

   "Quick! Shoot! Concentrate on shooting!"

   "The first column goes down, the second column goes forward, and the third column winds up!"

  Accompanied by the non-commissioned officer's repeated roar and the buzzing sound of the crossbow arrows, each crossbow arrow rushed towards the tall Hu cavalry riders with the breath of death and the desire for flesh and blood.

  The Hu cavalry who were sitting proudly on the horseback, condescendingly hacking at the soldiers of the Han army, fell off the horse one by one as if they were hit by an invisible iron plate in the air.

The horses didn't know what happened, they neighed in panic, and wanted to run, but the surroundings were either horsemen who found something wrong and began to scurry around, or corpses of dead horses and horses, there was not much room to move around, disorderly The run sparks even bigger chaos...

From the wall of the stronghold, from behind the baggage cart, almost an entire semi-arc-shaped crossbowman was lined up. The crazy and almost mechanical strings were opened, lined up, stepped forward, fired, and then stepped back to repeat this. In the process, countless crossbow bolts plunged from the sky like sudden hail!

  Relying on the side of the heavy baggage cart, Xu Yu knocked one Hu Qi off his horse, while the other Hu Qi rushed out from the slanting stab, and chopped down with a single knife.

  Xu Yu was about to raise his knife to parry, but the parry was empty.

A crossbow flew from behind, pierced through the Hu Qi's shoulder blade, and continued to move forward with a huge spray of blood. How could this Hu Qi continue to cut down, and suddenly "ah" With a scream, he fell to one side, and was stabbed in the waist and abdomen by the spearman beside Xu Yu in the next moment, and fell off the horse's back.

  After the initial burst of violent shooting, the crossbowmen began to move to the front wall of the village, and at the same time began to shoot at the remaining Hu cavalry in the camp.

  Under the dark sky, Hu Qi couldn't detect the small and high-speed crossbow bolts at all, and some were even shot by several crossbow bolts at the same time, even nailing people and horses to the ground!

"kill-"

Holding his saber high, Xu Yu roared in a hoarse voice, as if he wanted to pay back all the resentment he had suffered before at this moment, and rushed out from the side of the baggage cart first, facing the panicked Hu Qi. Counter charge!

"kill-"

  The sound of the rumbling drums made people's blood boil, and more Han troops rushed out, charging down with swords and spears at the Hu Qi who had been completely out of position.

Under a sudden wave of crossbow arrows, Hu Qi, who was lucky enough to survive, had to guard against the swords, guns and spears that came from the front, and was called out by the crossbow arrows flying from above. Resist, the ones who were killed were retreating steadily...

  Success is just a short distance away, but it seems like the end of the world. This is such a desperate thing.

Zha Tiansheng saw many Hu Qi swarming into the camp. He originally thought that the camp of the Han army would be breached in the next moment, and he could taste the fruits of victory. About a thousand Hu Qi who went in were massacred in a blink of an eye. Not only was the Han army camp not defeated, but on the contrary, they even charged out...

  After slaughtering the intercepted Hu cavalry, the crossbowmen stood on the wall of the front camp one after another, and once again attacked the crowded Hu cavalry outside the camp.

  Hu Qi, who had lost his speed, had no room to hide at all. Even if he tried to hide behind the horse's belly and neck, he still couldn't escape the attention of the crossbow. He fell off the horse's back like a dumpling...
