Even though they were wearing armor and holding round shields in their hands, they still couldn't stop the arrows that shot like meteor lightning.
The army that was originally uniform and advancing with the sound of war drums melted away in an instant, and the sound of countless howls resounded through the grassland.
Chief Wan, who was in charge of commanding Xue Yantuo's forward army, couldn't help his heart beating wildly. How could he have imagined that Tang Jun's crossbows were so powerful.
Before Xue Yantuo could react, the next batch of arrows from Tang Jun came again, taking another two or three hundred lives...
The two thousand crossbowmen of the Tang army, under the command of the school lieutenant, were like a precisely operating machine, constantly shooting deadly arrows in their hands.
In just two rounds of volley, Xue Yantuo's forward army dropped nearly [-] corpses, and there were countless wounded.
For a while, Xue Yantuo's [-] forward army was almost on the verge of collapse.
Many people in later generations thought that the wars in the ancient cold weapon era had heavy casualties, but this is not the case.
In the era of cold weapons, an army that can withstand 30.00% casualties is already considered an iron army that can shake the world.
Generally speaking, 5.00% casualties are enough to collapse an army.
After all, in the era of cold weapons, it is not easy to kill people with knives in hand-to-hand combat.The best embodiment of the progress of human science and technology lies in the improvement of the killing efficiency of weapons.
It is precisely because of this that World War I and World War II brought tens of millions of casualties and made the world tremble.
Compared with other bows and crossbows of this era, the composite bow and crossbow that Li Wangyou made is an out-and-out killing weapon.
The strong crossbow equivalent to four stones was originally a large bed crossbow that was inconvenient to move and was used to defend the city.How could the people of Xue Yantuo imagine that two thousand crossbowmen are equivalent to two thousand large bed crossbows.
Compared with the incomparably slow stretching speed of the bed crossbow, the firing speed of the two thousand crossbowmen is even more incomparable.
In this way, it is not surprising that Xue Yantuo's forward army was stunned in an instant.
Looking at Xue Yantuo's army on the opposite side, howling and screaming at the soldiers who were shot and killed, Cheng Chumo, Mi Tuo and others in the watchtower car were so frightened that their jaws were about to dislocate.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, staring in amazement at this cruel, bloody but extremely efficient killing...
Nima, killing pigs is not so fast, is it?
This was the only thought on Cheng Chumo's mind at the moment.
Xue Yantuo's vanguard army collapsed before they could charge forward.
When the third round of Tang Jun's three-stage shooting method started, Xue Yantuo's forward army had already started to turn and run uncontrollably.
These fleeing soldiers, like an avalanche, instantly collapsed the originally orderly army formation.
All the Xue Yantuo people turned around in horror and ran to the rear.
Crowded, trampled, fleeing for their lives... The [-] vanguard army will be defeated with one blow...
(In the past two days, I have suffered from back problems, and I feel restless. I feel really uncomfortable and don’t want to code, so I stopped the update yesterday. Today, Shuqi’s pop-up window recommends it. It’s a small outbreak, and two updates will be sent. There should be another update later in the evening.)
1039 The whole army attacks
From the two sides entering the battlefield, to the Xue Yantuo's attack, and then to collapse, it took only a stick of incense.
Such a quick battle, not to mention stunned Mi Tuo and the other dudes, even Jie Libi's jaw was about to dislocate.
He never imagined that his [-] vanguards would be shot into hedgehogs by Tang Jun in one encounter.He even never imagined that the [-] army would avalanche so quickly...
What's more terrible is that when the [-] soldiers who were scared out of their courage and threw away their helmets and armors and rushed to the rear for their lives swept in, Jielibi's [-] Chinese army was the first to bear the brunt of the impact.
Even though Jie Libi ordered his men hoarsely to stop the vanguard from defeating the army, these frightened soldiers couldn't control whether they gave orders or not, and they all ran towards the rear without thinking.
The so-called defeat like a mountain is the scene that unfolds in front of Jie Libi.
In fact, even Li Wangyou himself did not expect the victory to come so quickly.
Even though he was sure that the three-stage shooting method using the composite steel crossbow could defeat the enemy, he did not expect that just three rounds of lasing would defeat the [-] vanguard army and cause the enemy to be defeated.
Li Wangyou, Cheng Chumo and the others looked at each other, the excitement couldn't be concealed in their eyes.
Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack!
The cavalry on both wings outflanked and drove away the defeated army, and all the seven thousand infantry suppressed them, continuing to expand the results of the battle.
Tang Jun's jumping soldiers and Mo Daoshou didn't expect that the enemy would be defeated without even a chance to fight.After hearing the sound of the battle drums ordering the attack, these jumping soldiers and Mo Daomen were not willing to let the crossbowmen focus on the front, they all rushed out screaming, and began to chase the fleeing enemies.
However, the crossbow arrows in the hands of the two thousand crossbowmen did not stop for a moment, they just changed from direct shooting to throwing.
With a range of 600 steps and a distance of [-] meters, it completely became the road to death for Xue Yantuo's army.
No matter how fast Xue Yantuo ran, he couldn't run as fast as the crossbow.
The Olympic world record for later generations, the 9-meter race record is 58 seconds.Even if Jamaican flying man Bolt runs 300 meters, he still has to run for more than 30 seconds.
But with tens of thousands of people turning around and running away, wearing heavy armor, no matter how fast they can run, how fast can they run?
By the time Xue Yantuo ran out of the range of the Tang crossbow arrows, the Tang army's crossbowmen had fired at least five or six times in rounds, throwing out nearly ten thousand arrow feathers.
Even though the throws were not very accurate, such a dense shooting still caused Xue Yantuo forward to drop nearly a thousand corpses.
People kept falling down from arrows and howling...
As for those who were trampled and squeezed to death by their companions, there were countless of them.
As a result, Xue Yantuo's forward army fled faster...
It wasn't until the Diaodangbing and Mo Daoshou rushed into the range of the crossbowmen that the captain commanding the crossbowmen cursed and ordered his subordinates to cease fire, put down the crossbow in his hand, and ran forward quickly, preparing to respond to the crossbowmen and Modaoshou. knife hand.
However, it is clear that in the current battlefield situation, it is no longer the turn of the crossbowmen to show their power again. Even Tang Jun's jumping soldiers and Mo Daomen failed to achieve any results, and Xue Yantuo's [-] army was defeated.
After the two thousand cavalry on the two wings pressed up, Xue Yantuo only hated himself for losing two legs.
Although the [-] Chinese army led by Jie Libi was not attacked by the Tang army at all, but affected by the defeated forward troops, he was defeated without even a chance to reorganize the attack.
Seeing the deteriorating situation on the battlefield, the guards beside Jielibi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly wrapped Jielibi in their arms and began to retreat to the rear.
As soon as he pushed, Xue Yantuo's military spirit became more and more lax, and he didn't even have the thought of resisting. The 4-strong army ran away and ran towards the rear camp.
Anyway, there are their war horses in the camp, as long as they can snatch the horses, they can escape.
Tens of thousands of troops rushed back to the camp, crying for their fathers and mothers, and began to snatch the horses in a chaotic manner.
Even many of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, in order to snatch a horse, pulled out their knives and slashed at their robes, just to escape from the pursuit of the Tang army one step ahead.
Xue Yantuo's army is completely in chaos...
A quarter of an hour ago, Jie Libi, who was so complacent and thought that he could annihilate the Tang army with a [-] army, could not even cry now.
