The gongs and drums are noisy!

On the battlefield, the gongs and drums of both sides resounded through the sky, each soldier was aroused to blood, their morale was at the peak, and their fighting spirit was overwhelming.

The Zhou Cang Infantry Division stopped, making Qu Yi's army confused about the situation.

The soldiers under Qu Yi's banner are a bit hazy.

What's the meaning!

Why didn't Xia Koujun step forward?

Even if the archers hold bows and arrows, their range cannot reach the terrifying effective distance of 500 steps!

Not to mention that the soldiers under Qu Yi couldn't understand what the Xiakou Infantry Division was doing, even the commander-in-chief Qu Yi was puzzled.

A confused look!

What a naughty operation!

But what?

The answer came quickly.

Whoosh whoosh!

Qin Nu opened fire, and hundreds of thick crossbow arrows flew quickly towards the 800 heavy infantry under Qu Yi's banner.

Hundreds of thick, terrifying crossbow arrows. When fired, the crossbow arrows were too fast and had the smell of tearing the air.

One after another, terrifying crossbow arrows flew toward them, instantly shocking Qu Yi and his troops, and they couldn't take it back for a while.

Sluggish, stupid!

Especially the 800 heavy infantrymen would never have dreamed that the Qin Nu's range would reach 500 steps, which was completely unexpected.

But what?

The eight hundred heavy infantrymen are not ordinary soldiers, they are the most powerful beings under Qu Yi's banner.

The heavy infantry Sima immediately woke up.

"Defend with your shield."

A Sima Dao.

Swish, brush, brush!

Heavy shields were raised one after another, erecting a line of defense in front of the heavy infantry. The heavy infantry's shields were also specially made and very powerful.

Bang bang bang!

The shield is indeed strong, but many shields still cracked under the fire of the thick crossbow arrows.

A clicking sound sounded.

The shield in the hand of a heavy infantryman was shattered, and Qin Nu's crossbow arrow passed through the shield and struck the soldier hard.

ah!

Heart-rending screams sounded.

The eight hundred heavy infantry were indeed Qu Yi's trump card, although one soldier was killed by a crossbow.

The battle formation remains undisturbed.

powerful!

Very powerful!

I really don’t know how Qu Yi was trained to be able to make eight hundred soldiers feel like they were dead. It’s amazing!

Whoosh whoosh!

Before the 800 heavy infantrymen could recover from the first wave of attacks, a second wave of crossbow arrows hit them again.

Hundreds more thick crossbow arrows hit the shield hard.

Bang bang bang!

Click!

Some of the crossbow arrows were blocked by the shields, and some of the shields broke into pieces and fell to the ground, while the crossbow arrows continued to pierce them.

Puff puff puff!

One heavy infantryman was penetrated, and huge blood holes appeared on his body, and blood spurted out.

ah!

Another wave of screams sounded.

The Qin Nu in the hands of Zhou Cang's infantry division was focused on the 800 heavy infantrymen under Qu Yi.

Concentrated firepower.

One blow after another, with a very short pause in between, just a few breaths.

It can even be said to be a continuous critical attack.

The heavy infantry fell one after another, making General Qu Yi's heart bleed. The eight hundred heavy infantry were his hard work.

Not only did he spend a lot of time training, but he was also dragged out into actual combat. The key was that the heavy infantry cost too much money, and almost all of Qu Yi's money was spent.

Qu Yi would feel distressed if anyone died, let alone if they fell one by one.

Qu Yi's face was red and his eyes were bloodshot.

Furious!

Furious!

But what?

General Qu Yi is a very good general. It only takes him a moment to calm down his emotions and prevent his anger from breaking out.

no!

This is too passive!

Simply being beaten was not what Qu Yi had in mind. He had to let his soldiers rush forward and fight hand-to-hand with the Xiakou army.

Only by engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Xiakou's army can Qin Nu's attack be avoided.

Only close combat can break open the Xiakou Army's defense line.

Only then can the heavy infantry take advantage of it.

Qu Yi thought a lot in his mind and made up his mind instantly. He wanted to change his tactics and could not let the Xiakou Army lead him.

"Order! The entire army quickly presses forward and engages in close combat with the Xiakou Army. Only by getting close can we have a chance of winning."

Qu Yidao.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very ugly.

He wanted the heavy infantry to crush the soldiers of the Xiakou Army, bring down the morale of the entire army, and defeat the Xiakou Army in one fell swoop.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

When Qu Yi issued the order, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly changed, like thousands of horses galloping, making the soldiers' blood boil and their fighting spirit furious.

Thirty-five thousand soldiers and horses heard the sound of gongs and drums, and rushed towards the Zhoucang Infantry Division's front one by one.

But what?

It is not easy to get to the front of the Xiakou army immediately. After all, you will be shot by Qin Nu.

The interception of archers.

Whoosh whoosh!

Qin's crossbows were fired round after round, and the shields in the hands of the eight hundred heavy infantry were shattered into pieces.

Without the protection of the shield, the power of the Qin crossbow was quickly released, and the brutal crossbow arrows were like the trumpet of death.

Puff puff puff!

One heavy infantryman fell.

The body of the heavy infantry was pierced by the crossbow arrows, and the brutal crossbow arrows took the corpse with them and hit the heavy infantry behind them again.

However, it is difficult to penetrate and can only bring great impact to the heavy infantry without risking life.

Heavy infantry is too strong.

The crossbow arrows can penetrate the heavy armor of the soldier, but when trying to penetrate the second soldier, they cannot penetrate the heavy armor of the soldier.

Despite this, each round of arrow rain would take away the lives of dozens of heavy infantrymen, especially the heavy infantrymen who rushed forward.

The distance between the two sides shortened, making the Qin crossbow more powerful.

When Qu Yi's army reached 300 steps from Xiakou's formation, at least half of the 800 heavy infantry were killed.
