Chapter 743: Timely Arrival
Then the old Dong family will be able to transcend class starting from his generation. Although they may only be a small class, they will no longer be the rangers looked down upon by the nobles.
It has to be said that the riding speed is very fast. After a while, I saw a group of people gathering on the coast.
Dong Wen was a little surprised. Didn't this mean two hundred people? The guy who counted the people was eating rice fields and was blind.
But when he observed carefully, he discovered that there were indeed only about two hundred of these people wearing armor. The others were not soldiers at all, but looked like fishermen.
Thinking of this, he felt calm and shouted towards the other side.
"Xia State's envoys, please stop running away. There is no way out. Why not surrender quickly? Maybe you can still survive."
Seeing a thousand-man cavalry chasing after him, Fei Lian became furious.
Handing the Su Tiedao to Zhang Shao, he took out his handy double halberd and looked at the other person's puzzled expression.
Fei Lian grinned, "Our Yuntong frontier army has never surrendered. Either we don't fight or we fight to the death. When the fight starts, Lord Wen Xin, please wish yourself well. I, Fei Lian, didn't protect me well this time."
.”
Fei Lian was so arrogant as he said, but he was bitter in his heart. His Majesty finally gave him the task, but he messed up. If the credentials were not brought back, the pattern of the Central Plains could not be changed.
Failure to change means that war will come soon, and your Majesty will be too busy to eat Goguryeo.
As a result, the four countries will fight again, and then the Central Plains will usher in horrific wars.
"Everyone, line up with shields!!!"
In an instant, the Xuanjia Army of two hundred people formed a small but well-equipped military formation.
In front of the shield soldiers are the soldiers holding hoe, and behind them are the crossbowmen and archers.
This formation was specifically designed for cavalry, but it was a pity that there were no carriages, otherwise Fei Lian would have been confident enough to protect himself.
Dong Wen shouted, "Everyone wear leather armor, grab your shields, and charge me~~~!"
The mud was flying, and thousands of cavalry rushed toward the military formation. The powerful momentum made the nearly three hundred Yue people tremble all over and their teeth trembled.
The middle-aged man in the fishing village had a good hand among ordinary people, but when faced with the momentum of thousands of horses galloping, his face turned pale at this time.
He held his wife tightly with both hands, fearing that they would be separated forever in the next moment.
His not very strong body stood in front of his wife, even if it could help her withstand a blow, it would be a good thing.
Watching the cavalry approaching, Fei Lian stared at it with a drop of sweat on his forehead.
"Two hundred cloth~~!"
"One hundred and fifty steps~~~!"
Just when he was about to give the order, he saw that the cavalry, which was so powerful, actually slowed down slowly.
It is incredible for the cavalry to slow down during the charge. Even if they know that the opponent is full of spears, they will not retreat.
Because the cavalry relies on unparalleled impact, if the speed is slow, wouldn't it be a waste of martial arts?
Fei Lian's face was full of doubts. He picked up his binoculars and observed carefully. He saw that the faces of the cavalry opposite were full of horror and shock.
It was as if someone was facing you, but looked behind you with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. This made Fei Lian get goosebumps all over his body.
Instinctively, he turned his head and looked back, and a horrifying scene really happened before his eyes.
I saw a huge warship, breaking through the heavy fog, slowly approaching from the side, with nine huge blades on the mast.
The parapet on one side of the ship is filled with densely packed crossbows, and the cold arrowheads can be seen clearly.
"Fire the arrow~~~!"
Rows of soldiers on the warship held heavy crossbows and bows and started shooting according to the elevation angle reported by the observer.
"Buzz buzz~~~~!"
The huge sound of bowstrings collapsing came from the warship~~~!
More than thirty three-bow crossbows, driven by motors, were like cannons in the cold weapon era, shooting at local cavalry indiscriminately.
Because of the magnifying glass made of telescopes, the soldiers controlling the crossbows can easily snipe point to point~~~!
Because the opponent stands relatively densely, usually a two-meter-long feathered arrow shot out will cause enough damage to penetrate four or five people.
The iron arrow feathers are like a guillotine. Whenever someone is scratched, their limbs will be cut off in a minor case, or cut in half in a serious case. The death will be miserable.
The entire cavalry position was like a rain of arrows, and many people were nailed to the ground.
There were also many people who were strung together with their horses and fell to the ground, vomiting blood and dying.
After Dong Wen knocked away two arrows, the chicken thief immediately grabbed the reins and ran away madly towards the way he came.
At this time, he was no longer as high-spirited as when he came, and his face was full of panic.
The rangers are also the kind of people who are very good at reading the situation. At this time, they were already frightened. When they saw that the battle situation was not right, they immediately followed Dong Wen to open a road and prepared to retreat.
Unfortunately, they made a fatal mistake. When the cavalry followed one person, they always clustered together.
It only takes 5 to 6 seconds to cock the crossbow. After one round of cavalry shooting, dozens of cavalry fell down.
A large number of spears passed by their ears, and the feeling of death clutching their hearts made these rangers almost go crazy.
Before they had run very far, they saw tanks with front spiral blades blocking the way, and a large number of soldiers equipped with strong bows and crossbows were waiting for them.
Finally, unable to bear the outflanking from both sides, many of the rangers got off their horses and knelt on the ground tremblingly, their legs trembling so much that they could not walk.
"Surrender, we surrender~~~!"
"Don't kill us, we are just employed by others~~~!"
Wu Gaolang, wearing luxurious armor, rode up to these people, looked at them with contempt, and said.
"Surrender? Didn't you think you would die when you were chasing my Daxia envoy?"
Dong Wen also knelt down, and his long-standing pride, dignity, and momentum were instantly shattered by the three-bow crossbow.
His face was pale, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Collect, collect people's money and do things for them~~!"
Wu Gaolang raised his hands high, and many of the rangers kneeling on the ground were in despair. With this posture, no one knew that the next moment would be his death.
"etc!"
Fei Lian ran over and raised his hands to Wu Gaolang, "Thank you very much."
Wu Gaolang nodded and asked curiously, "General Fei Lian, what is this?"
Fei Lian came closer and said, "Your Majesty is thirsty for talents and is not good at killing. If these people are taken to Yuntong and selected, those who are not convinced will be killed. Those who sincerely surrender can be used by Your Majesty."
Wu Gaolang's eyes lit up and he nodded, "That's easy to say."
"This time I would like to thank General Wu for the timely rescue, otherwise I would have died here today."
"Hahaha, your Majesty knows everything is going to happen. He knows that there are many dangers in this trip, so he specially asked me to wait here."
Fei Lian asked curiously, "A warship was dispatched this time?"
"No, two ships, mainly three-bow crossbows. The production is very slow. Only one ship came after equipping it. There are more than twenty other warships of various types. Otherwise, there is no way to bring the huge chariots over.
.”
Fei Lian couldn't help but let out a long breath. Not to mention the ranger, he almost pissed himself just now because the power of the three-bow bed crossbow was too great.
No matter how many layers of leather armor you wear, whether you are hiding behind your companions, or whether you have a strong shield, as long as you are targeted, all living beings are equal.
The terrifying destructive power is just like using a Barrett to hit people, but the Barrett is an anti-material sniper rifle, which is used to hit vehicles and other powered combat units.
Destructive weapons that were built to defend cities, attack cities, and penetrate enemy warships were used to hit people. This is already a big departure.
After the war, statistics began to show that more than 1,000 people were killed, almost 400 were killed, and the loss rate was nearly half. This was already an absurdly high battle loss ratio in an encounter.
It's not that these rangers didn't want to run. In fact, they already wanted to run when they saw their companions being skewered with candied haws on a stick, but at that time they were almost stunned.
When they wanted to escape, so many people were already dead, and they saw some wailing sounds on the ground. In the surprised eyes of the rangers and Yue people, they actually started to bandage them skillfully.
If he was seriously injured and had no choice but to come back, his throat would be cut directly. Don't worry now, the body will be decapitated and taken back. This is a military achievement.
There is no decent promotion channel now, but this thing can be exchanged for money, grain, and sometimes cattle and horses for the family. It is very cost-effective. Once recorded, it will be helpful for future promotions.
It has to be said that when these rangers and Yue people saw this operation of the Xuanjia Army, they were almost stunned and frightened by their cruelty. Although beheading was recorded as military merit, it often happened in major vassal states.
But for someone like Xia Guo, who listed beheading as a regular skill in the army, it can be said that this is the only one and no one else has a semicolon.
The chariots were transported to some ships, and the Yue people and the Rangers crashed into another lucky ship.
Standing on the deck of the lucky ship, Fei Lian held the arrowhead in his hand and looked confused. He said helplessly, "General Gao Lang, I'm convinced. You actually brought flying flying arrows this time."
No wonder Fei Lian was so surprised, this was an arrow shaped like a flying fly with a longer head.
The arrows of this type are extremely sharp and long. If you are shot by this kind of arrow within a short to medium distance, you will be penetrated directly. Think about what it feels like to be shot by a shakuriku arrow. Even with the current medical skills of Yuntong County,
Medicine and stone have no effect.
The arrow was originally invented in the Han Dynasty, but Yang Qian drew it directly. As long as he remembered the arrow, he drew it.
Use different arrows according to different situations to achieve maximum damage to the enemy.
For example, if you want something with strong penetrating power to deal with leather armor or cannon fodder that doesn't even have leather armor, then flying arrows are most appropriate.
If the opponent is equipped with bronze armor or iron armor, then using armor-piercing arrows is the best choice.
There are also some arrowheads that are almost difficult to pull out after hitting a human body.
Like a three-pronged arrow, it looks ordinary, but the arrow is forked, with sharp edges in the middle and on both sides. It is flat and flat. After a person is shot, the arrow is difficult to take out. If you don't take it out, it will be extremely painful. Taking it out will also cause harm to the body.
