I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Chapter 44 Modao counterattacks and defeats the enemy

Whoosh!

In an instant, thousands of arrows with a length of ten feet drew countless beautiful arcs in the mid-air of Panlong Pass with a shrill sound of breaking wind.

By the time the Turkic cavalry, who were charging forward, realized that something was wrong and wanted to retreat, it was already too late.

Long arrows as thick as spear shafts pierced the armor of the Turkic cavalry effortlessly, knocking them off their horses with ease.

Some Turkic cavalry reacted quickly. When they saw the thick arrows coming, they immediately used the stunt of "hiding in stirrups" and bent their bodies close to the horse's belly to avoid being shot by arrows.

However, the war horses under their crotches were not so lucky.

It is easy for an arrow as thick as a spear shaft to penetrate the body of a war horse under the huge shooting inertia of the ballista.

For a time, the Turkic cavalry camp that rushed to Panlong Pass was filled with screams and the whine of war horses.

Restricted by the trapezoidal topography of Panlong Pass, which is "wide at the bottom and narrow at the top", the Turkic rangers charged in groups. The closer they were to Panlong Pass, the denser the charging formation, and all the men and horses were exposed to the range of the Qin's ballistae.

In addition, the Daqin crossbow vehicle is also equipped with a lookout mountain (scope), which allows Qin Ruishi, who operates the crossbow vehicle, to aim at the target more accurately and improve shooting accuracy.

To describe the power and characteristics of the Daqin ballista in a layman's terms, you can think of it as the ancient version of the Katyusha rocket launcher.

Therefore, the Great Qin warriors led by Wang Jian dealt a heavy blow to the Turkic cavalry in the first round of ballista shooting.

Fortunately, the Turkic general Ars managed to save his life in the first round of arrows. His eyes were red, and he glanced left and right behind him from the corner of his eyes.

All I saw were ownerless war horses all around. Relying on the animal's survival instinct, they continued to charge with the large army.

A rough calculation shows that at least more than 3,000 Turkic warriors fell to the first round of shooting by the Han army's strong bows and crossbows.

Als was stunned and had no time to stop charging, grieving for the dead prairie warrior.

He just hit the horse's belly crazily, urging the horse to go faster, and go faster.

As long as he crossed the distance of a thousand steps and waited for the imperial cavalry to set foot on Panlong Pass, he would definitely ask those Han soldiers to pay blood for blood, life for life, and pay for the lives of the Turkic warriors who died in the battle.

Similarly, the leader of the Turkic Meerqi tribe Surelheke on the other side also had the same idea as Alslen at this moment.

In this round of arrow rain just now, the casualties of his Merqi tribe were even more severe.

That's more than two thousand, fresh lives of the Merqi tribe warriors!

If this revenge is not avenged, Surile and Ke will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of their lives.

at the same time.

Yunhui's army formed the Three Talents Formation of Heaven and Earth. On the command tower of the Chinese army, Turkic general Liang Erhu looked horrified and took a deep breath.

The ballista turned out to be a powerful bow and ballista!

Liang Erhu beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting his mistake.

He should have thought that Chen Huaian's army would definitely be equipped with large ballistae.

This thing is not only very lethal to cavalry charging in a dense formation, but also very lethal to large-scale moving infantry.

Although, the vanguard in his Yunhui army formation was also equipped with a large number of ballistae, drawn by war horses, and ranked at the forefront of the army's attack sequence.

However, judging from his visual observation just now, the number, power, and range of the ballistas equipped by the vanguard of his Yunhui Army are far inferior to the ballistas equipped by Panlongguan Longcheng troops and horses.

Even if the two armies faced each other, the Yunhui army would be completely defeated.

Chen Huaian, this thief, has only been seen for a few days, and he is much more powerful!

Liang Erhu roared in his heart, but he immediately gave an order to the messenger: "Soldier, immediately give the order to the vanguard and the jumping team to speed up the charge!"

"Got the order!"

Soon, the messenger stood on the Chinese military command tower, waving the triangular signal flag in his hand, and issued Liang Erhu's latest combat order.

After receiving the general order, the commanders of the Yunhui Army's vanguard and the commanders of the Tiaodang Team immediately urged their soldiers to speed up their sprint and shorten the distance from the enemy at Panlong Pass.

The thumping sound of the war drums also became intense and rapid from this moment on.

At the Panlongguan Camp, General Wang Jian was as solid as a rock and calm when facing the Turkic coalition forces that accelerated their march and swept in like a storm.

Behind him, the elite super soldiers of the Qin Dynasty's elite phalanx did not show the slightest panic, loading arrows calmly and adjusting the angle of the crossbow.

"Nine hundred steps!"

"Seven hundred steps!"

"Five hundred steps!"

Wang Jian's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he calmly reported the numbers. He held up the three-foot sword in his hand and pointed it directly at the Turkic cavalry who were close at hand.

When he counted to 500 steps, he shouted loudly: "Let -"

"put!"

There was a thunderbolt, and the arrow shot out like a dragon.

The thick arrows all over the sky seemed to turn into cold sickles in the hands of the God of Death at this moment, ruthlessly harvesting all life in the path of the arrow rain.

No matter you are a good horse on the grassland or a warrior in Mobei, all living beings are equal under the crossbow.

Suddenly, the sound of arrows breaking through the wind, the collision of ownerless horses, and the screams and neighs of the seriously injured Turkic cavalrymen and horses resounded through the Panlong Pass.

Als, who had another brush with death, and Surile and Ke had tears in their eyes and bleeding hearts.

After this round of arrow rain from the Han army, the casualties of the two Turkic rangers exceeded one-third.

Fortunately, they were getting closer and closer to Panlong Pass, and they could chop the scimitar in their hands onto the heads of the Han soldiers in no time.

"Warriors of the Turkic Empire, the opportunity to take revenge and make achievements is right before you!"

"The infantry of the Han army had no time to reload arrows. They followed the pace of my general and rushed forward to chop off the heads of these dog-Han people with their scimitars. They crushed their bodies with their horses' hooves to avenge the fallen prairie men. !”

"kill!"

Als, who was galloping on horseback, howled wildly, regardless of whether his shout, which was destined to be drowned in the sound of rolling horse hooves, could be heard by the Turkic cavalry warriors behind him, just to vent the anger in his heart.

"kill!"

Following closely behind were Als Leng's personal soldiers.

Their hoarse shouts of killing immediately penetrated the thunderous sound of horse hooves and reached the ears of countless Turkic cavalry who were still sprinting.

Those Turkic soldiers who survived two rounds of arrow rain had already turned into crazy beasts with blood-red eyes, howling and roaring tirelessly under the stimulation of adrenaline.

On the other side, Panlongguan Camp.

General Wang Jian, after ordering Qin Rui Shi to complete two rounds of shooting with the ballista, immediately ordered: "Qin Rui Shi, retreat!"

"Team Modao, the entire army attacks!"

With an order, Qin Ruishi's phalanx at the front of the camp began to retreat lightly and evacuate in an orderly manner.

And on the deliberately left passage between Qin Ruishi's square formations, countless black armor soldiers with tall figures, heavy armors and long-handled swords came out and rushed to the front line of Panlong Pass.

Due to the restricted field of vision of the upward attack, the Turkic cavalry who charged forward only saw the retreating Great Qin Rui Shi, but did not see the Xuanjia Army Modao Team coming up against the retreating direction of the Qin Rui Shi.

I thought it was the Great Qin Rui Shi who wanted to escape.

The Turkic generals, Surel and Ke, who were riding their horses at the forefront, saw this and roared with ferocious expressions on their faces full of flesh:

"The Han army wants to escape, chase them and chop them to death!"

"kill!"

The next moment, the sweaty horse with a dark body and well-developed limbs and tendons under Su Rile and Ke's hooves leaped high into the air, carrying Su Rile and Ke to be the first to rush to Panlong Pass.

What came into view was the dark mass of the Black Armor Army's Mo Dao Team, wearing heavy armor and holding long-handled swords.

The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army swung the long-handled Mo Dao in their hands and formed a battle formation facing the rising sun. The "sword shield" composed of tens of thousands of Mo Dao looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

It especially stung the eyes of the Turkic generals, Surel and Ke.

"Mo Dao team, use the "wall push" formation, attack with the whole army, kill!"

"kill!"
