Chapter 111 (1/2)
”The battle drum camp ordered that the three wing bowmen and crossbows of the left-wing army, the right-wing army and the central army are in place. This time, my general will destroy Yiqu's cavalry in the first battle!”
Wang Xiaojie exclaimed that the Anxi army was an iron and blood elite, and its command mode was naturally different from that of the whole army in the Warring States period. When fighting, the commander directly ordered the battle drum camp, and the whole army listened to the drums!
”No!”
On hearing the general's order, thousands of soldiers of the battle drum camp moved directly. Hundreds of drums made a special steady and orderly drum sound, and the sound of hundreds of trumpets rang through the grassland.
The cavalry of shiwanyiqu, who was running wildly, heard the sound of the horn, but still kept a charging posture. However, great changes had taken place in the interior of the black shield line of Anxi army.
Ordinary infantry retreated one after another. Each of the three wing army had 8000 people. A total of 24000 crossbow men equipped with powerful bows and crossbows were directly put in place.
Anxi army is stationed in West Asia all the year round. In order to deal with the complicated situation in West Asia, the composition of its army is naturally different from that of other armies which are mainly infantry.
The arms composition of Anxi army is mainly composed of large-scale crossbow men and cavalry troops. Otherwise, Wang Xiaojie would not have taken out so many bowmen to attack intensively at the moment!
”When the army is in action, the three armed forces are using their bows and crossbows!”
With Wang Xiaojie's order, Anxi sergeant, who was responsible for lifting the black round shield, suddenly lowered the shield and pulled away. The situation inside directly let the Yiqu cavalry in the front take a breath.
I can see that the number of Qin army's bowmen, who are arranged in order and ready to bend bows and string, is more than that of Yiqu people.
”Shoot the arrow!”
At a command, the Qin army's square array fired ten thousand arrows at once, and 24000 crossbows directly rushed into the sky. The dense arrows even covered the light, making the originally gloomy sky more gloomy.
”Whew, whew...”
The sound of tearing the air was so harsh that 24000 crossbows were directly collided with the charging Yiqu cavalry after they were strengthened by parabola and huge inertia, resulting in increased range and power.
”Poof!”
The sound of sharp arrows penetrating the body constantly rings, and the cavalry of Yiqu is shot through by the crossbow all over the sky and spurts out a mouthful of blood, and then they fall from the horses powerlessly.
Many Yi Qu cavalry were shot through the body by crossbows and arrows, and then scattered blood flowers on the grassland.
In addition, some lucky Yiqu cavalry, who had been shot through by crossbows and had not died immediately, turned around and were unable to understand the situation. The horses' hooves of their comrades who were still in a rush were directly trampled into meat cakes.
