The horn sounded, low and long, like the north wind from the winter on the block, making people feel cold and grey...

The new bronze military horn unique to Huaihuang Army also responded immediately. The buzzing loud sound was a bit unruly and unruly, but Huang Shitou sounded a little too sharp and harsh. At this time, Zhong Laosi, the gang leader in front, also picked up the iron whistle hanging between his neck, put it in his mouth and blew it vigorously. The iron ball in the iron whistle quickly turned, and then the whistle made a sharper beeping sound. Huang Shitou felt that the various mixed sounds were like monks chanting scriptures. His internal organs were stirring in waves, and suddenly a sense of disgust, and he was dizzy and drowsy. This was his first battle. He did not expect that he would be so unbearable. He was secretly upset, hoping that his performance would not be despised by his companions.

He gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the disgusting feeling.

At this time, the headmaster Zhong Laosan in front turned around and glanced at Huang Shitou with a pale face. He did not laugh at him. He just smiled gently, "The first time he went to the battlefield with real swords and guns, most people are like this, it will be fine after a while. Listen to me, take a deep breath, yes, take a deep breath, and don't think about anything." Huang Shitou did as Zhong Laosan said. After a few deep breaths, he really got much better, and the disgusting feeling continued a lot. "Thank you, sir." Huang Shitou said gratefully.

"What are you thanks, you are all brothers who are stirring the horses in the pot." Zhong Laosan smiled and opened his mouth, revealing the two gaps without front teeth. Although his methods of winning over his subordinates were very low-level, they were very effective. Huang Shitou was very grateful to Zhong Laosan. "I know Shitou, you can shoot arrows well. During our training and assessment, you have the best grades. You can shoot a pot of arrows without stopping. It's great. This is better than me, don't say anything more, I'll tell you an experience. When the fight starts, don't treat those enemies as humans."

"What if you don't treat adults?"

"You just treat them as... as wolves or rabbits." Zhong Laosan said, "You have hunted before, right? You won't be able to get over it if you kill wolves and rabbits, right? When you shoot arrows in a while, just think of them all as the prey you shot before."

Huang Shitou seemed to understand but he didn't understand it. After thinking about it, he felt really not that uncomfortable.

"Stone, don't waste your skills. I tell you that war is a rare opportunity. As long as you make merit, you can be promoted and rewarded. You are sixteen and don't have a wife yet, but this is nothing. As long as you fight hard, you will have everything after this war. I tell you that when you get rewards, you can not only marry a beautiful wife, but also bring your parents, brothers and sisters to Huaihuang to live together. By then, your baby will be a city man." But the next moment, he was overwhelmed by even greater noise.

The opponent had already launched an attack. Amid the waves of roars, the Taoshan coalition forces were running one after another. As they ran, they were like floods that collapsed from the dam, rolling in.

The beeping whistle sounded again, and Zhong Laosan didn't care about talking to Huang Shitou anymore, turned over and fucked his longbow.

"Prepare!"

"Prepare!"

"Prepare!"

The longbow position was full of loud calls from officers, and the longbowers took arrows and put them on the longbows.

The commander of the longbow hand, Wang Bodang, has been watching the open space on the east bank of the river. There are many wooden stakes on this open space. These wooden stakes are neither horse-resisting nor deer feet, but are markings of the various distances to the west of the archer formation. Each ten steps is one hundred and fifty steps from the front of the longbow to the east bank of the small river. This distance is within the effective range of the longbow, but outside the effective range of the ordinary longbow.

The Huaihuang Army's longbow is slightly worse than the English longbow in history, mainly because the English longbow uses yew wood bows, while the Huaihuang Army uses ordinary elm bows. However, although it is not as good as the English longbow, it is not much worse. The Huaihuang Army's longbow has an effective range of more than 200 steps to reach 250 steps. Even if it is a flat shot, an elite longbower can meet the requirement of shooting a human-shaped target of 130 steps outside. Ordinary longbowers require a target of hitting a target of 100 steps outside. The Huaihuang Army's longbower is not trained enough, but there is no problem in shooting a human-shaped target of 60 steps outside.

This time, Wang Bodang did not ask them to aim and shoot arrows one by one, but instead asked eight archers and a crossbowman regiment to divide them into three batches to carry out continuous upward shooting.

From the east bank of the river to the archer formation, the twenty steps of the river to the total is only 170 steps. The Huaihuang Army's Longbow Camp not only included all the open spaces on the east bank of the river to the front of the formation into the strike range, but even within the seventy steps on the west bank of the river, it was within the backfire strike range of the Huaihuang Army.

On the other side of the Taoshan Alliance, the bows in their hands are just traditional composite infantry longbows. Compared with the ultra-long range of the Huaihuang Longbow, their bow range is only 120 steps.

The comparison numbers are very different from 250 steps to 120 steps. In other words, the range of Huaihuang Longbow is more than twice that of Taoshan Army. When they entered the range of Huaihuang Army, they had to run another 130 steps before they could attack Huaihuang Army.

With these 130 steps, they could only be beaten passively and had no room for fight back.

At this distance, heavy infantry takes about ninety seconds to charge, and heavy cavalry only takes fifteen seconds. When a heavy infantry charges, they can only run two or three meters in a second. Ordinary infantry must be fast, but they are not much faster. If the light infantry charge is twice as fast as the heavy infantry, these 130 steps will also take forty-five seconds.

The Huaihuang Army's ejection speed is standard seven times per minute!

At this 120-step distance, if the Tao Army infantry was in the normal charge speed, they would have to be hit by five volleys.

In fact, Lingyun's preset battlefield is very good. The distance that the 120 steps passively beaten cannot fight back is exactly the muddy area on the river and the banks. Even light infantry can only run at most the speed of heavy infantry. They need to run at least one and a half minutes to two minutes at this distance. At this time, Huaihuang Changbow Army can shoot at least ten arrows without any threat.

The Taoshan Alliance attempted to break through the Huaihuang army formation with its military advantage in one fell swoop.

But I never thought that those longbows that seem to have excessive growth would have such great power.

They had just rushed to the middle, and were at least more than 200 steps away from the Huaihuang Army's position. At this time, hissing sounds kept coming from the sky.

Then someone looked up and saw countless black dots suddenly gathering in the sky, like a large group of locusts suddenly flying over the battlefield and constantly approaching them.

"Damn it, the archers of Huaihuang Army were scared to death. At least two hundred steps away, they actually shot arrows." Several of the masters in the village who were supervising the battle in the rear burst into laughter when they saw Huaihuang Army launching arrows. They were already full of fear of Huaihuang Army, but now they were much more relaxed. Judging from this, Huaihuang Army was just a light on the surface of donkey dung eggs. They looked scary, but as soon as they tried, they exposed their true strength.

Many of the mountain soldiers who were charging forward also continued to run forward after initial surprise, without taking the bows and arrows shot from afar at all. However, someone soon discovered something wrong, and the arrow rain did not fall immediately. Instead, it was still roaring and getting closer. Seeing that the arrow rain had already flown over the river, flew to the west bank, and then continued to fly forward.

The screaming sound of breaking through the air became louder and louder, and finally flew over their heads.

At this time, they really changed color. Everyone cursed and scolded, while thinking in a daze, how could this be possible?

The first wave of birch arrows in Huaihuang Changbow Camp roared like hail, covering the Taoshan soldiers who were surging like tides.

Hundreds of branches, thousands of branches, countless in an instant.

All three-foot-long birch arrows were covered with iron arrows. After running more than 200 steps in the air, they fell down at a very fast speed. Many Taoshan coalition troops were immediately caught and fell to the ground. What made many Taoshan soldiers desperate was that they flew over the arrows more than 200 steps away, and the power was not diminished at all. For these bandit coalitions, which were only covered with leather armor, most of them did not even have armor clothes, and even shields, this was quite fatal. The long arrow fell down. The iron arrow was light.

Yi Di pierced through a minion's neck, fell to the ground in despair, and died with his eyes open. A little leader next to him felt cold in his heart when he saw this scene. He closed his leather armor and ran faster. However, he didn't run a few steps away, and another long arrow roared down in the sky, just in time for an arrow to hit his chest. The moment the long arrow came into his eyes, he had the last ray of hope, hoping that the leather armor he had once bought for a good horse that could block the arrow.

A pain came from his chest. He lowered his head and looked at the scene in disbelief. The three-foot-long arrow with a birch branch and a strong iron as an arrow pierced through his precious cowhide armor without mercy and pierced deeply into his chest. At the entrance, a bright red blood flower slowly bloomed. His steps became slow, his eyes became blurred, his breathing was not smooth, and his hands and feet slowly became cold. A scream of anger, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he staggered and finally fell to the ground. He stared at the arrow unwillingly

, looked up at the sky again, and another metal storm was pouring in the sky. He plucked up his last little strength, held the arrow shaft with both hands, and pulled it out with force, but the arrows bit his wounds tightly as if they were rooted. A severe pain came, and blood spurted out the wounds. He screamed again, and his whole body curled up to the ground like a rag bag. The last bit of consciousness in his heart made him understand that this long arrow that flew over 200 steps, actually had a barb...

At this time, the second wave of arrow rain had fallen from the air, and on the Changbow Camp position, the yellow stone was leaning against the deep buried in the soil in front of him. It pointed at the tip of the sharp and pointed wooden stake in the sky, and then pulled an arrow from the ground, quickly pulled open the six-foot-long long bow in his hand, and put the third long arrow on the bowstring.

When the three arrows were shot out, Huang Shitou's mood was getting calmer and calmer. At this time, he was fully focused and strictly followed the training he received in the archer camp. He set the bow and raised the arrow, pointed his fingers and shot the upwards in the way he learned. His arrow shot very well. Each arrow flew perfectly across the river and fell into the charge of the enemy.

Huang Shitou had a good look. Although he had more than 200 steps away, he could still see those running bandits constantly falling to the ground.

His third arrow shot out, and the entire archer's position had already shot nine waves, each time he had six hundred arrows, and in a blink of an eye, four thousand five hundred arrows had been shot out. And this was just a time between breaths. The bandits had not even approached the river.

The coalition forces charged in the rain of arrows, and many bandit leaders shouted loudly behind them: "Run over, rush over, and there will be no bows or arrows."

"Run, their bows and arrows cannot be stopped!"

Unfortunately, the arrow shot from the opposite side was still firing, and the more they rushed forward, the more lethal the arrows became. When they rushed into the river bank, the muddy terrain immediately slowed down their speed, and the people behind them were still rushing forward, so the people on the river bank became denser and soon crowded like the herd of cattle singing on the riverside on the grassland.

The result is that the lethality of the Huaihuang Army's arrow rain increased exponentially, and almost every moment, people around them were constantly screaming by arrows. The screams and the rain of arrows all over the sky made people feel an illusion that it was as if every arrow in the sky fell and could hit one or two.

"Damn what kind of weird bow and arrow is this? How could it be so far?" Under the banner of the coalition central army in the rear, the old sword handler's expression became more and more serious, almost all of them coming out of the water. "Two hundred steps, their longbow range exceeded two hundred steps, and their lethality was still amazing!"

"And their arrows have almost never stopped!" Zhang Cheng, with a dark face, also added. He had just arrived from the front. "Leader, the other party's bow and arrow are too strong, we have to send someone to surround him from the side." He put forward his own opinions. Although it seems that there are not many people in the main position of the Huaihuang Army, who can imagine in advance that this seemingly weakest front actually has such fierce lethality. This is simply a meat grinder, and it is simply a trap.

It is impossible to withdraw troops at this time. If the troops are withdrawn, then the morale is really impossible to continue. Fortunately, there are many troops in the coalition, so you can send two troops to attack the opponent's side and wings. Kill them from the side. Zhang Cheng has seen that the opponent's longbow soldiers are indeed powerful. However, the number is limited, and there are only more than a thousand archers. Divide the troops into three sides to attack, and the role of the opponent's archer will be greatly reduced.

"Accurate!" Lao Dao said fiercely.

The sound of the horn sounded again, whimper! Zhang Cheng waved his spear and roared an order. The voices of thousands of people immediately responded. Countless people burst out and joined the noise of the whole noise together, and then rushed forward together.

"Flank!" Zhang Cheng took the lead and led the cavalry team in front. He ran and shouted at his subordinates: "Flank, attack the flanks, and rush to the forests on both sides!" He rode his horse like a tiger coming out of the cage. The cavalry behind him also rode his horse and followed. After the cavalry rolled past, a large number of infantrymen were also carrying swords and guns and followed.

Shan Xiongxin sat on the horse with his golden nailed Zaoyang spear, looking coldly at the enemy formation opposite, two troops were divided into the opposite enemy formation, one on the left and the other on the right. Shan Xiongxin snorted coldly. They had been watching the archers in the Central Army Changbow Camp here show their power, killing and killing them two hundred steps away, and hitting the opponent's charge bandits like killing chickens and slaughtering dogs. I had seen it so hard to bear it. I thought that he was a great general of the cavalry, and he was a little hungry and thirsty in his heart. Unexpectedly, the opponent cooperated very well and rushed out so quickly.

"Follow me!" Shan Xiongxin waved his long spear and roared. A cavalry took the lead, and the flag bearer followed closely. Under the guidance of the flag, the six hundred light cavalry on the left wing formed a wedge-shaped attack formation and rushed straight towards the enemy rushing towards the opposite side.

Two cavalrymen joined forces, and long spears and spears pierced each other and rushed around. Some of them could not dodge, and the spear tip penetrated their chests and died on the spot.

Shan Xiongxin took the lead in taking the battle, holding the Zaoyang spear full of pointed spears, directly hitting an enemy cavalry in front of him like a siege hammer. The spear had a huge impact force and directly hit the opponent's chest, which suddenly knocked the opponent away, and his chest collapsed and fell directly from the corpse.

The six hundred light cavalry was like a red-burned iron rod stabbed into the frozen lard, and easily penetrated the forward of the alliance light cavalry. After Shan Xiongxin penetrated the enemy cavalry forward, he did not continue to move forward. He kept Yi Feng's military order and defended the left wing. And he knew very well that they had killed the opponent's forward with their high momentum just now. In fact, the opponent's forward had too few troops and had disconnected from the horse team behind him, so he seized the opportunity and made a desperate vote. Otherwise, he would not dare to arrogantly hedge the opponent directly against the opponent. After taking advantage of the situation, he stopped when he saw that he was ready, whistled, pulled his horse's head, and killed him back.

The flags floated and moved, and the cavalry in other formations followed their chief's flag and turned their horses' heads, and then killed them again at the scattered enemy cavalry forward who was being washed away.

When most of the cavalry behind the Taoshan Cavalry arrived, Shan Xiongxin had already entered and exited, returned to the front of the woods and reorganized the queue.

"Preparation!" Shan Xiongxin looked at the enemy cavalry who had arrived in a hurry, without any fear. He raised his spear and shouted, "With someone, kill!"
Chapter completed!
