One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 421
"Zilong, where is Wenyuan?" Qin Yi stared at Liu Bao for a while, then suddenly asked loudly.

"Someone is here!" Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao quickly stood in front of Qin Yi.

"I ordered you two to lead a thousand cavalry each to go out to fight the Huns. Do you have the guts?" Qin Yi asked Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and then replied in unison: "A certain person is willing to go!"

But at this moment, Nie Yan suddenly dissuaded Qin Yi: "You should not underestimate the enemy. The Huns are good at cavalry and have [-] troops. Zhao Bingcao and Zhang Xiaowei only brought [-] soldiers and horses to fight, wouldn't they be sent to death? ?”

Qin Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Nie, Qin only brought 2000 people to Yanmen Pass, how could he let them die."

Having said that, he waved to Zhao Yun.Zhao Yun leaned close to Qin Yi, Qin Yi whispered something to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun nodded repeatedly.

After Qin Yi finished giving instructions, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao went down the tower.

After a while, the closed door suddenly opened, and Zhao Yun rode forward and led his soldiers out of the closed gate.Zhang Liao's troops followed closely behind.

Seeing that the defenders dared to go out to fight, Liu Bao was a little taken aback.

At this moment, above the closed gate, a stern light suddenly flew towards Liu Bao from above the city gate.

Liu Bao probably realized the danger, and subconsciously raised his head... Then, he screamed, covered his neck with one hand, and fell off the horse.

The Xiongnu army behind Liu Bao was shocked when they saw Liu Bao suddenly fell from his horse.

"Kill—" Zhao Yun yelled, and he didn't care about forming a formation, and directly led his army towards the formation of the Xiongnu army.

Upstairs above the city gate, Nie Yan and others saw Liu Bao falling from his horse, and they all looked at Qin Yi in horror.

It turned out that it was Qin Yi who shot an arrow with the Sirius crossbow, hitting Liu Bao in the throat.

"Shi Junshen shot, from such a long distance, he was able to hit Liu Bao with one arrow!" Li Zhen was the first to react, and said with a look of admiration.

"Yes, then Liu Bao was careful. He was still two hundred steps away from the city wall. Even the giant crossbow on the city wall couldn't do anything to him. The emperor was able to shoot him to death!" Suo Chao also came to his senses. , shouted excitedly.

The ancients used "step" to measure shorter distances. What the ancients called one step meant that each leg moved once. In later generations, it was actually two steps.The ancients called one step about 1.5 meters, and two hundred steps is 300 meters.

Ordinary crossbows in this era have a range of 80 meters to 30 meters. The giant crossbow that Suo Chao called is actually not the bed crossbow of the later Tang and Song dynasties, but the foot crossbow of the Qin and Han dynasties.When this kind of crossbow is fired, the shooter adopts a sitting position and pulls the crossbow string with his legs. Although it has a long range, it cannot be aimed precisely.

Qin Yi's Sky Wolf Crossbow had a range of more than 300 meters, and Liu Bao was completely within his strike range.

"Qin is also a fluke." Qin Yi said very flatly.

Just as everyone on the tower was talking, Zhao Yun had led his troops to the front of the Huns.The Huns immediately recovered from the shock of Liu Bao being shot to death and charged towards Zhao Yun's troops.

Ordinarily, Zhao Yun led his army out of the pass to fight, he should first set up a charge formation under the pass wall, and then launch a charge.However, Zhao Yun didn't play his cards according to common sense. The soldiers of his army rushed forward as soon as they left the pass, and the troops dragged into a long line.

This charge, which was not prepared for the charge at all, made the Huns extremely uncomfortable, and they became anxious to fight.

But having said that, although the Huns rushed to the battle, there were many Huns. Moreover, Zhao Yun's troops had no formation at all, and they dragged into a long line, so they could not launch a group charge, which was extremely beneficial to the Huns.

To put it bluntly, a charge like Zhao Yun's was pure suicide.At this time, even people who don't understand military affairs can see that Zhao Yun's troops are fighting in chaos and there is no rules at all.

The soldiers on the city wall and the generals in the tower all frowned when they saw Zhao Yun charging so fast.Some people are already thinking, the new envoy of Qin could not be in vain, right?Although the army under him looks bright and beautiful, but when it comes to fighting, it is not as good as a mob. They simply don't understand tactics!

Just when everyone was thinking differently, Zhao Yun's vanguard had already approached the Huns' charging formation, and the two armies were about to collide.

Zhao Yun suddenly turned his horse's head, changed his direction, and moved horizontally along the Huns' formation.The soldiers behind Zhao Yun also turned around and followed behind Zhao Yun.

This makes people even more puzzling.If you charge in a column, although you are looking for death, at least it can prolong the time for the entire army to be wiped out. At worst, the people at the end of the team still have enough time to retreat to the pass.But you have turned into a horizontal confrontation, and your formation is only two or three teams. With such a thin formation, the Huns will crush you in one fell swoop.Do you think you didn't die fast enough or something?
"Shoot—" Zhao Yun suddenly roared while riding his horse.

Immediately, all the cavalry he led released feather arrows at the Huns immediately.

What's going on here... what's going on?
Both the Han army and the Xiongnu army were all stunned.Since the cavalry of this era did not have stirrups, they needed to hold the reins with one hand to control the horse when charging. However, shooting a bow and arrow on horseback required both hands, which was too difficult.

It's not that no one can do this, but even among the Huns, there are only a handful of people who are so skilled in riding that they can open a bow and shoot arrows while charging on horseback.

But everyone in Zhao Yun's army could do this, which shocked the jaws of all the people on both sides.

The people in the front line of the Xiongnu soldiers did not expect Zhao Yun's troops to do such a trick, and they all fell from their horses.

Zhao Yun led his troops to move and shoot arrows. After a while, they left the front of the Huns' formation and moved to the side.

Being hit by Zhao Yunjun's unreasonable fighting method, the periphery of the Xiongnu army was in chaos.There was chaos on the outside, the soldiers in the inner circle couldn't stop the car, they continued to charge, and collided with the soldiers on the outside.

At this time, Zhang Liao also led a thousand cavalry out of the city.Different from Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao's soldiers set up a charge formation under the city wall step by step.

Soon, Zhao Yun led his troops around to the rear of the Huns' formation.His army repeated its old tricks and still fired arrows at the Huns while riding on horseback.The Xiongnu army's rear formation was also in chaos.

After a while, Zhao Yun's army circled from the rear of the Xiongnu soldiers to the left wing and continued to fire arrows at the Xiongnu soldiers.As a result, the entire outer circle of the Huns' military formation was in chaos.

"Chong——" Seeing that the Huns were in chaos, Zhang Liao seized the opportunity keenly and gave an order to lead a thousand cavalry to charge the Huns.

Soon, Zhang Liao's troops collided with the Huns.
