Chapter 379 New ranged weapons for infantry
Seeing that his attack was frustrated, Yuan Shimi shouted: "Carry at full speed and rush over. As long as we approach, these Han people will be out of the way." After that, he quickly whipped up and took the lead in rushing towards the Liang army formation at full speed.
Wusun's cavalry formation had deformed and loosened under the attack of the opponent's crossbows. However, the Wusun cavalry rushed to the Liang army's chariot formation.
When the Wusun cavalry rushed within a hundred steps, they opened their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows shot towards the Liang army formation like a sudden rain. The Liang army long archers who were previously at the top of the car jumped off the roof of the car to avoid the rain of arrows.
In the view of the original style, Liang Jun's "wall" built by a big cart is getting closer and closer to him. Suddenly, he found that the sun was dimming, as if it was covered by a dark cloud that suddenly flew over. In fact, thousands of Liang Jun's guns and shield soldiers behind the car wall threw a flying spear javelin like pouring rain. The flying spear javelin was so dense that it covered part of the sunlight.
With constant screams and wailing, many Wusun cavalry northern javelins were shot down. Even a few Kushan heavy cavalry mixed in Wusun cavalry were pierced by these javelins and penetrated their proud armor and passed through their bodies or their mounts.
Fortunately, the Wusun's war cavalry had dispersed now, otherwise the casualties would be even greater. A javelin rubbed past Yuanshi Mi's helmet and stabbed all the decorations on his helmet and shield. At this time, Yuanshi Mi discovered that the vehicles were not baggage trucks, but Liang Jun troops transport vehicles he had seen in Jincheng.
However, it was too late to order the withdrawal of troops at this time. The Wusun war cavalry that rushed to the front was close to those big chariots. What's more, Yuan Shimi would not be willing to return empty-handedly.
"Kill! Kill!" Yuanshi Mi shouted, encouraging morale for his side. Although the casualties of Wusun soldiers have far exceeded expectations, he Yuanshi Mi had tens of thousands of war cavalry after all. Without talking about the suppression of the troops, he completely crushed the opponent in terms of quantity. Yuanshi Mi still had the confidence to defeat the opponent.
Several Wusun soldiers had rushed to the front of the cart. They actually stood on the saddle and then took the opportunity to jump towards the top of the cart. However, several spears and guns suddenly came out from the air window on the outer wall of the cart, some of which were hitting the belly of the Wusun soldiers, and some hitting their legs. Wusun Bin, who was shot, wailed and fell from mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Shimi was full of grudges. He also stood on the saddle, holding a scimitar and shield, and rushed to the wall of the car. The same was true for dozens of personal guards around him.
Yuan Shimi gave the order and dozens of people jumped towards the top of the car wall at the same time. Yuan Shimi saw with his own eyes that a soldier in front of him was stabbed to the ground by a spear, but he used this gap to jump to the roof of the car. Like him, more than 20 Wusun soldiers jumped onto the roof.
But Yuan Shimi suddenly discovered that behind the car wall was a black head, and thousands of Liang army infantry holding shields and guns were waiting for the battle. Yuan Shimi shouted: "First occupy the roof of the car. Gather all the people before killing."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy arrow shot at him. Yuan Shimi reacted so much that he subconsciously blocked the shield with a shield. With a bang, the heavy arrow shot into the shield. Yuan Shimi saw that the arrow cluster had actually shot through the shield, which showed how powerful the arrow was.
Some of the Wusun soldiers who climbed to the roof of the car had already lined up shield walls, some bent their bows and arrows and shot behind the car walls, and some began to stab downwards with their spears, poking holes one after another at the top of the car. However, the Liang soldiers in the car had already retreated, and these actions did not play any role.
The Liang army soldiers seemed to have thrown their spears and no longer threw spears at the Wusun soldiers on the roof of the car. The original style waited for more Wusun soldiers to get on the roof of the car and then went down.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of the puff. He seemed to be pushed hard by someone with invisible force. The original mite fell back straight and fell outside the car wall.
Seeing this, several personal soldiers quickly jumped out of the car wall, and several people helped Yuan Shimi up.
Yuan Shimi thought he had been shot or a javelin, but he didn't feel the pain. He reached out to touch his chest, but found that his chest was empty and there were no arrows or other objects. However, his personal soldiers found that the heart protection mirror on his chest armor had a deep depression, and there was a shiny thing in it - it was an iron bead.
At the same time, the Wusun soldiers on the roof of the car made a roar of ghosts and wolves, and there were crackling sounds like beans. Behind the car wall, iron beads attacked the Wusun soldiers on the roof of the car as densely as a sudden rain...
If you carefully observe the Liang Jun gun and shield hands behind the car wall, you will find that many of them have modified their shields. There is a V-shaped gap on the top of the shield, and two small horns are also on both ends of the V-shaped characters. There is something like a rope tied to the horns. But that thing is not a rope, but a rubber band made of vulcanized rubber. The main battle infantry of the Liang Jundian Qing Legion equipped the "modern slingshot" on the shield.
Feng Yu was proficient in knitting slingshot rubber bands in his previous life. After several experiments in this life, he made a powerful slingshot. The iron bullets shot out were enough to penetrate the armor on ordinary iron armor within twenty steps. In addition to modern slingshots, the emergence of rubber bands also gave birth to a new type of crossbow, which greatly reduced the size of the crossbow.
At this time, two thousand gun shield soldiers using slingshots shot out iron balls, causing heavy losses to the Wusun soldiers gathered on the roof of the car. Some were shot and seriously injured by iron balls. Although they also raised their shields to cover them, the projectiles were too dense to prevent the vitals and could not protect their limbs.
From time to time, some people were shot in their legs and rolled down wailingly. Some fingers were shot directly and their weapons fell off their horses.
In a time of incense, the Wusun soldiers at the top of the carriage were cleared out in amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves. The survivors of them, who were not dead or injured, returned to the horse's back. Although the Wusun soldiers suffered heavy casualties, they still had a total of ten thousand troops.
They no longer dared to attack the Liang army's chariot formation directly, and Yuan Shimi was still unwilling to leave. He thought in his mind that there was no water source here, and the main force of the Liang army had not received any news of their siege, so as long as the Liang army besieged for a few more hours, the Liang army would surrender without fighting because of thirst.
Yuan Shimi ordered the besiege of Liang's army without thinking too much. The Wusun cavalry immediately divided into several groups, slowly circling outside the Liang army's chariot formation to guard the Liang army, blocking all the Liang army's paths tightly.
Perhaps because of the huge loss and too emotional, he didn't expect that this might be a bait that Liang Jun deliberately set up.
At this time, the Liang army's cavalry and main chariots were not far away, and they were rushing towards it. This time, in order not to alert the enemy, Feng Yu did not send the vanguard troops as usual, but directly brought the entire army to suppress it...
