Chapter 206 Creating Miracles
Li Yu had no idea whether the crossbow was useful on the battlefield, whether it could be used, and whether it could be used against cavalry.
This is really an attempt to cross the river by feeling the stones.
If you win the trial, it will undoubtedly create a miracle.
If you lose the trial, not only will your life be difficult to save, but it will also kill many people.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Under Li Yu's order, five hundred flying guards moved the lever of the crossbow together.
In an instant, the sound of crossbow strings ejected together.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired together and fell into the cavalry camp.
For a moment, people were on their backs and horses fell to the ground, and at least dozens of riders were caught in arrows.
This is just the beginning.
The flying guards kept moving the pull rods, and the crossbow arrows flew outward almost uninterruptedly from the crossbow box.
There are only five hundred flying guards, and the arrow formation effect shot is no less than that of five thousand crossbowmen.
Under such an arrow formation, even the cavalry could not resist it.
The cavalry rushing in front did not fall to the ground one by one, but fell to the ground one by one.
Many cavalrymen were hit by several arrows on their bodies and fell down their war horses when they charged forward.
Even though the person is not dead, he doesn't even have the chance to get up, and is trampled by the war horses caught up from behind.
The cavalry running up from behind quickly followed the footsteps of their companions in front, either falling into the foot, or both of them fell into the ground.
On the ground, there were a layer of human corpses and war horses.
In this case, if the cavalry sees that the situation is not good, they should retreat immediately.
But in the dictionary of Xiaoyang people, there is no word for retreat.
The cavalry stepped on the bodies of their companions and continued to charge forward desperately.
But this kind of charge really became a "long live charge" like a death-sending death.
Five hundred flying guards and five hundred crossbows shot out five thousand crossbow arrows in one breath.
Looking at the cavalry opposite, more than half of them have been lost, and the remaining cavalry are less than 300 cavalry, and the formation is in chaos.
Seeing this, Li Yu pulled out the horizontal knife under his ribs, waved forward and shouted loudly, "Kill!"
"kill--"
The flying guards shouted together, and people took off the Mo sword behind them, held the Mo sword, and rushed towards the cavalry.
Facing the cavalry, they have no time to replenish the crossbow arrows.
At this time, every minute and every second are extremely precious.
We must take advantage of the opportunity of chaos in the opponent's cavalry and take it down in one go.
Now the distance between the two sides is less than ten steps away. Whether it is a cavalry charge or an infantry charge, it is a blink of an eye.
The flying guards rushed forward like a tide. After meeting, they swung their swords without saying a word, not slashing people, but specializing in cutting the legs and necks of horses.
The moment the two sides contacted, the neighing sounds of war horses were connected, and rows of war horse hooves were cut off.
The war horses fell to the ground, and the Xiaoyang cavalry on the horse's back also fell down one after another.
The flying guards in the front row ignored the landing cavalry, crossed the opponent and continued to rush forward.
The flying guards following behind him took their swords and killed the Xiaoyang cavalry who were about to get up from the ground one by one.
The power of cavalry lies in the mobility of cavalry and the impact of cavalry.
Once the cavalry is trapped by the infantry and cannot complete the cavalry charge, it is a group of living targets.
Its lethality is even worse than that of infantry.
This is the situation now.
The flying guards, like tides, quickly penetrated into the Xiaoyang cavalry. The two sides fought together, and the war horses could not run at all.
When fighting a melee, the power of the Modao is exerted, and it can not only stab, but also chop and chop.
Moreover, the five hundred flying guards who use Modao are all elite, each with a foundation and strong body.
They held the knife in both hands and slashed with all their strength. Often, they would break down with one knife.
Li Yu was about to rush forward with a knife, but his legs were lifted up, but his feet were unable to step out.
When I looked back, I found Chu Ren was holding his back collar tightly.
Li Yu shouted, "Old Chu, what are you going to do?"
Chu Ren said seriously: "Your Highness is here to take charge of the command!"
Li Yu was about to speak, but Yan Wen and Feng Tang both drew their swords and said, "We will fight to the battle with His Highness Dai!"
While speaking, the two rushed to the battlefield forward with their knives.
Lu Chi is faster than the two of them.
He joined the battle with a knife. As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, two people from Xiaoyang who were dismissed rushed towards him, and two scimitars slashed at his head.
Lu Chi's body was turned around, and he flashed directly from the front of them to their backs. He stabbed the blade in a row, and then heard two puffs. Both Xiaojun were killed in the back and died on the spot.
He threw the blood on the blade, then waved it outwards. When he clanged, a flying stone axe was bounced away. Lu Chi looked at the Xiaojun who was sneaking into his arms not far away, raised his mouth and bullied himself. As he walked and passed, the blade passed by the other party's neck.
puff!
The blood mist sprayed, and the corpse fell straight behind him.
Lu Chi was so angry that he pulled out another horizontal knife he was wearing. He held his two swords and rushed straight to the place with the largest number of Xiao Army soldiers.
Several cavalrymen rode their horses and slashed at him with several scimitars.
Lu Chi jumped up, his body as if he was ghostly, and passed through the gap between several cavalrymen.
The two sides intersected, and then, the sound of puffs and puffs was connected into a series.
Looking at the cavalry again, the heads on the neck fell one after another, and the headless corpses were still sitting on the horse's back, and blood sprayed into the air from the broken neck.
From a distance, it looks like several red fountains.
Lu Chi opened his arms and dripped a drop of blood from the tips of the two horizontal knives.
There was no murderous ferociousness, no bloodthirsty cruelty, but more excited.
He likes fighting, and he also enjoys fighting.
Live for the sword, die for the sword!
Life is so happy!
Lu Chi shook his arms and held a knife and rushed towards Xiaojun again.
The next battle between the two sides, or from the beginning of this battle, was not a battle at all, but a unilateral massacre.
It took less than half an hour before and the battle between the two sides came to an end.
Looking up, I saw that the battlefield was full of corpses.
Human corpses and horse corpses are stacked with layers of layers, and in some places, they are stacked with several layers.
Almost without exception, these corpses were all Xiaoyang cavalry.
On the battlefield, there were still several war horses who survived by chance, wandering alone on the battlefield.
The flying guards did not expect this battle to have such an effect, and Li Yu did not expect it either.
This is the power of the crossbow and the Modao!
Use the crossbow to kill and disrupt the enemy to the greatest extent.
When the distance between the two sides is close enough, the soldiers will fight with the enemy with the sword.
This kind of tactic is recorded in historical books, and Li Yu has read it before.
But Li Yu is not sure whether it is useful or not, whether it is true as described in historical books.
Now, practice has proved that the records of our ancestors in history books are not adulterated.
In small-scale battles, crossbows and modao can indeed have miraculous effects.
Even creating miracles!
