The crossbow arrows were shot from three sides, and after only the first wave cooperated, one-third of the pawns behind Huang Zhong fell down.
Unlike the soldiers who continued to load crossbows in front, the Hebei soldiers on both sides retracted their crossbows behind their backs after the first wave of crossbows were shot, and charged forward from both sides with their weapons.
Compared with bows, crossbow arrows have significantly longer range and stronger lethality.Not only that, the crossbow has relatively low requirements for users, and it can be shot without strict training, and its hit rate is extremely high. It is a powerful long-distance lethal weapon in ancient times.
But the only downside is that it takes too long to assemble the arrows.
Therefore, after the Hebei soldiers on both sides shot the first wave, they put away their crossbows, switched to the weapons at hand, and fought close to the stopped cavalry.
"The old man was careless for a while, and he fell into the kid's trick!"
Huang Zhong didn't know that he was ambushed by the enemy, his beard trembled with anger, and the big knife in his hand was like chopping vegetables, slashing fiercely at the Hebei soldiers rushing from both sides.
However, these Hebei soldiers seemed to be unafraid of death, and kept going forward to kill them.
After the crossbow was loaded, another wave came!
Many cavalrymen on horseback fell down again, Huang Zhong figured it out this time, the reason why the Hebei soldiers on both sides were so desperate was to delay the exchange of crossbow arrows for the crossbowmen in front.
The killing efficiency of crossbow arrows is far faster than their melee fighting.
If you want to turn the situation around, you must first get rid of these annoying things!
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Huang Zhong made a decisive decision, swung his broadsword in a circle to both sides, forced back the enemy troops on both sides, clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, and charged forward again, shouting loudly: "All soldiers, follow me to crush the past and crush the opposite side! "
The soldiers behind got the order, but many people were still stuck in place and couldn't get away at all. Only two or three hundred horsemen followed behind Huang Zhong, roaring and strenuously moving forward. ..
Seeing Huang Zhong rushing fiercely, and listening to his dispatch, Qu Yi had already judged the identity of this person, and coldly ordered the surrounding crossbowmen: "Shoot that white-bearded enemy general first!"
After speaking, Qu Yi aimed at Huang Zhong, and shot the crossbow in his hand first.
The strong crossbows produced in the Hebei army have extremely strong penetrating power, and their shooting damage is far greater than that of ordinary military crossbows.
Although the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are collectively referred to as the Han Army, the armies of each state have distinct characteristics.
For example, when it comes to elite soldiers, the world knows that the best soldiers in the world come from Danyang; when it comes to cavalry, the iron cavalry in Xiliang is the best in the world;
Hundreds of crossbow arrows rushed towards his face, Huang Zhong let go of the reins with his left hand, and clamped the horse's belly with only his calf. The nine-foot-long broadsword was swung in his hand almost impenetrably. , was constantly shot down to the ground, as if playing a cheerful movement.
"Unexpectedly, under Lu Bu's command, there are such fierce generals!"
Qu Yi's eyes were cold, and he failed to shoot him at such a close distance, which was obviously beyond his expectation. ..
A wave failed to kill Huang Zhong, and it must be too late to change arrows. Qu Yi immediately squatted down in the pit, and raised the shield he used before again above his head so that it was level with the ground.
For the so-called fierce generals in the world, Qu Yi is actually not cold.
The common people and soldiers like to talk about it, who has fought with whom for hundreds of rounds, who has surpassed the world in martial arts... These heroic individualism, in Qu Yi's view, are nothing more than brainless fools Act of.
Back then, Baima Yicong under Gongsun Zan's command exploded in combat power, beating Yuan Shao to pieces, but the result was different and it fell into his hands.
Instead of advocating personal bravery, Qu Yi believes in teamwork and execution.
The horse's hoof stomped heavily on the surface of the shield, and the sword in Huang Zhong's hand fell on the shield, pulling sparks flying all the way.
In this wave of charge, there were only twenty or thirty Hebei soldiers who were killed or injured under the shields.
"General, you are injured!"
Seeing Huang Zhong with five or six crossbow arrows stuck in his body, the lieutenant general's eyes were full of disbelief. After following for so many years, he had never seen Huang Zhong injured and bleeding.
In his eyes, the old general is almost indistinguishable from the protagonist, they are invincible existences in this world.
"Vice General He, we have to withdraw..."
Huang Zhong didn't seem to realize that he was hit by an arrow, or he didn't have time to take care of it at the moment. ..
His expression was gloomy, and his words were full of sadness and helplessness.
For Huang Zhong, pain and bloodshed are nothing, only failure is the most unacceptable thing for him.
But the enemy's cunning was far more difficult than he had imagined. More than 3000 cavalry soldiers were shot down by a few waves of crossbows, leaving less than a thousand people, and the enemy's casualties were only a few hundred at most.
Although he is still the main general, these cavalry pawns who have been selected and trained through untold hardships are gone!
Huang Zhong's heart was bitter and unspeakable, and for a moment, he seemed to be more than ten years old.
The deputy general was silent, he knew that the old general was not feeling well at the moment, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
At this moment, a Hebei cavalry army rushed over quickly, shouting and killing, with only a few hundred people.
The rider at the head of the fast horse wore a tasseled helmet, a suit of silver armor with fish scales, a pair of deep and wise star eyes, and a calm and resolute face. He looked quite like a general.
This person abandoned ordinary pawns and came straight to Huang Zhong. With a long spear in his hand, he unscrewed several spears and stabbed Huang Zhong in the face.
Seeing this, Huang Zhong didn't have the slightest intention of dodging. He swung the big knife in his hand and faced the stabbing spear.
Clang!
The two faced each other on horseback, and they were evenly matched.
Good skill!
Huang Zhong praised secretly in his heart, this person's strength can definitely match Zhang Liao's shoulders, so he shouted, "Who are you, dare to tell your name?"
"I am under Duke Yuan's tent, so is Zhang Yun!"
Zhang He didn't hide anything, and announced his name loudly.
After Han Fu gave up Jizhou, Zhang He switched to serve Yuan Shao, and now serves as the deputy general under Qu Yi.
After exchanging names, the two soon fought together again.
At this time, Qu Yi put down the shield in his hand, got up from the pit, and loaded the crossbow.Since Zhang He was fighting Huang Zhong, in order to avoid hurting his own soldiers, Qu Yi pointed the crossbow in his hand at the other cavalrymen of the Lu army who were fighting.
shhhhh~~
Accompanied by the triggering of the crossbow, the cavalrymen fighting on horseback were shot one after another and fell to the ground. They were surrounded by Hebei soldiers and stabbed to death with random guns.
The vile fellow!
Seeing this, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and became furious. In the blink of an eye, he had already fought with Zhang Yun for more than twenty bouts.
Zhang He was shocked, the old general was hit by five or six arrows, and he could still fight him for so long, even the most powerful Yan Liangwen Chou under Yuan Gong's command might not have this ability.
However, Huang Zhong's body was not feeling well. With the increase in the number of confrontation rounds, he obviously felt that he was struggling, and the blood in his body was constantly overflowing.
