Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 964 The first confrontation
"Kill!" Although the number of the Han army is small, they are very brave. Although the Wanqi soldiers are called "Wan Qi", they are not cavalry. The sword is a sharp weapon for restraining cavalry, so if the two sides fight head-on, the Han army will definitely have a great advantage.

Of course, what the current Wanqi generals of the Han Army are not holding Mo Dao, but a small continuous crossbow. This kind of continuous crossbow was invented after many modifications by the inventor Ma Jun. It not only has a long range, but also has strong penetrating power. , the most important thing is that this kind of crossbow can be operated by a single soldier, so it has become a sharp weapon in the hands of thousands of knights to hurt people.

Liu He knew that the main reason why the Mongolian cavalry became famous all over the world was that they were good at shooting arrows on horseback, and they shot arrows while the horses were running. In the process of gradually consuming too much and leading to a big defeat, since Mongolia took the initiative to attack, they will definitely use bows and arrows first when attacking, so Liu He has already prepared for it. They drove the horses to the back of the formation, and they inserted the Mo Dao upside down into the ground, holding the continuous crossbow. When the Mongolian soldiers came within range, following Chen Dao's order, the continuous crossbow in the hands of the soldiers in the front row included When it was launched, ten thousand crossbows were fired, and the Mongolian knights in the front row had already been shot into hedgehogs. They screamed loudly and fell off their horses to death.

Because bows and arrows are projectiles or manpower operations, while crossbows are direct shots and are operated by mechanical force, and are also carefully designed by Ma Jun, so under the same conditions, the range and lethality of bows and arrows are not as good as crossbows at all. When the crossbows of the Han army When shooting, the range of the Mongolian cavalry's bows and arrows was not enough, so they could only become the meat target of the Han army, and suffered heavy losses.

"Kill!" The Mongolian cavalry had never suffered such a heavy loss, and now they were at the mercy of others. Those soldiers who were not hit by the crossbow arrows did not feel scared or lucky. Instead, they were frightened and angry. The horses galloped wildly, preparing to fight in front of the Han army and severely teach those despicable guys who could only hide in the distance and shoot arrows.

These Mongolian cavalry never thought about it. In fact, they had defeated many powerful enemies with such despicable means before, and even this was their specialty, which made the Mongolian cavalry famous all over the world.

In fact, the Mongolian cavalry did not hate the method of shooting arrows in the distance, but believed that this method was only used by them, but now it is used by others to treat others in their own way!

Of course, the Mongolian cavalry didn't think so much. They only thought about rushing forward to slaughter the soldiers of the Han army. From their point of view, the crossbow bolts still needed to be reloaded after being fired, and they needed to be aimed again after the reloading was completed. It is enough to make the bows and arrows in their hands work. At that time, they will kill the Han army with precise arrows.

What's more, the Mongolian cavalry are very familiar with the weaknesses of crossbow arrows. This is that the crossbow arrows can only shoot straight ahead and cause damage to the front row, while the rear will basically not be damaged. Therefore, as long as they rush forward, not only the crisis can be relieved, but also the rear row will not be damaged. We can also win this battle with an overwhelming advantage.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Han soldiers in the front row retreated neatly to the sides, and then walked to the back of the team, while the soldiers who were originally in the second row naturally stood in the front row. Holding a continuous crossbow, he fired a crossbow arrow at them without hesitation...

In this way, the Mongolian cavalry were attacked by crossbow arrows again, and the places where they died in battle were almost the same as those of the Mongolian cavalry who died in the previous battle, even the corpses were almost stacked on top of each other.

Immediately afterwards, this scene continued to play out. Due to the death of the soldiers in the front row, the new Mongolian knights in the front row were ready to rush forward. However, at this time, the Han soldiers in the front row had quietly retreated. The Han soldiers who were originally in the second row but were now in the front row were also holding repeating crossbows and shooting at them...

The action efficiency of both sides was very high, but this meant that the casualties of the Mongolian cavalry were also very high. In just one stick of incense, more than a thousand people were shot into hedgehogs. At this time, the Han army was still preparing in an orderly manner. for the ensuing massacre.

After seeing this scene, Mu Huali, the Mongolian forward general, was shocked. He never thought that there is such a formation in this world, which can make arrows shoot continuously. The Mongolian elite cavalry has not yet come into contact with To the other side, more than a thousand people have already been killed. If this continues, it is estimated that when the two sides come into contact, among other things, the [-]-strong team under his command will lose more than half, or even annihilate the entire army.

This was not the situation Mu Huali wanted to see, so he immediately ordered the army to suspend its advance, and ordered people to signal to the Chinese army, requesting to retreat, and at the same time sent his own soldiers to report the situation to Genghis Khan on flying horses.

After Genghis Khan saw the semaphore requesting to retreat, he felt very strange. Mu Huali, who had always been indomitable and did not know how to retreat, actually asked to retreat. This was a unique situation. What happened in the front?What made him have such an idea?

Not long afterward, I saw Mu Huali's personal soldiers approaching, and told Genghis Khan what happened in front of the two armies in detail. After hearing this, Genghis Khan's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Sure enough, it is a good art of war and a good plan. The formation of crossbow soldiers is really unheard of, this Liu Heguo is not an ordinary person, I am not as good as it, but our army can learn such a magical formation at the cost of more than a thousand people, it is worth it, in the future our army will use this If the method is used to guard the city, it will definitely be invincible. I really don’t know what kind of expression Liu He will have when our army uses the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son to deal with the Han army? Go down, the rear team will become the front team, and the whole army will withdraw immediately and enter the city."

Following Genghis Khan's order, the Mongolian soldiers retreated one after another. This retreat was clean and orderly. Even with Liu He's sharp eyes, it was impossible to pick out faults. It is futile to bring harm to one's own side, so Liu He did not order to pursue, but had no choice but to order to withdraw his troops.

"The elite Mongolian soldiers are really different. Even the most basic quality is not much worse than our army. It's a pity that today they only brought them a loss of more than a thousand people. This is a bit of a miscalculation."

In the first confrontation, although Liu He won, he did not achieve the expected goal, and he was still a little upset. However, he knew that when dealing with a character like Genghis Khan, he must be prepared for a protracted war. It is almost impossible for weak and small ethnic groups to win the final victory in a short period of time, so he said with a faint smile: "Anyway, the big Han has enough supplies, and Mongolia is now killing chickens to get eggs, fishing in the dry lake, and it is impossible to continue to consume. For the decisive battle, as long as that day comes, it will be the day when the Han army will win."
