Chapter 482 Xianbei’s First Round of Attack Frustrated

Due to the constraints of the terrain, all supporting Xianbei soldiers need to stop their horses or dismount directly to shoot. Otherwise, for the soldiers, the horses will not only help but become resistance, because stopping the horses and shooting is a real target for the closed archers. is too big. In addition, the Xianbei soldiers shot upwards while the archers on the wall shot downwards. Compared with the two, the Xianbei people suffered even more. While the Xianbei people were filling the trenches, Huang Xu simply called up all the recruits who could already learn archery, and asked them to target those Xianbei soldiers who were near the trenches with earth bags, and those who were covering the soldiers were handed over to others. The higher-level archers, as for the thousand crossbowmen, Huang Xu didn't even think about using them now.

If Yu Wencheng knew that the guard at the gate was using his soldiers to practice bows and arrows, he would probably be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. After assigning the attack gradient of the archers, Huang Xu calmly waited for the Xianbei to approach the trench.

"One hundred and fifty steps..."

"One hundred and twenty steps..."

"One hundred steps..."

"General, the Xianbei dog has reached 100 paces, isn't it still shooting?" Seeing that the enemy had already reached 100 paces, Huang Xu did not give the order to attack, so the lieutenant next to him reminded him in a low voice;

"Don't worry, it's still those soldiers who don't have the ability to attack. Their archers are still far away from the hundred paces. Besides, even if they have entered the hundred paces, only a few cavalry can pose a threat to the city wall. We If you don't move, you're done, and if you move, half of the 6,000 Xianbei will be left behind. Hmph..." Huang Xu said;

"That's right," Tian Yu said on the side; "Attacking the enemy by surprise, the first attack is when you can do something to cause great damage to the enemy. If you want to do this later, it will be difficult."

"Eighty steps..."

"Attention archers! Eighty steps, three consecutive shots!" Seeing that the soldiers in front had crossed the distance of eighty steps, and the archers behind were about to enter their attack range, Huang Xu immediately ordered;

After hearing the order, the archers with a range of 80 steps immediately got ready, only to hear the sound of the bow string being drawn on the entire city wall. The Xianbei cavalry's rushing attack distance was 80 steps, mainly by using horses speed bonus, but if they dismount and attack now, the distance is basically about 70 steps. When they enter 80 steps, they are ready to attack, so this time is just the best time to attack at the top of the city. distance.

"put..."

"Buzz..."

"Buzz..."

With an order, the entire two thousand middle and high-level archers shot the arrow in their hands, and then pulled out another arrow, wound it, released the arrow, and then the third arrow, and the attack ended after shooting three arrows. Three shots in a row, this is already the best combo state of the soldiers trained by Huang Xu. If it is Huang Zhong, the best soldiers can train five consecutive shots. In an instant, the arrows at the top of the city were like locusts covering the position eighty steps ahead of the pass. Because there were two thousand mid-level and high-level archers standing at the top of the city, the archers on the entire city wall were required to stand in threes. In a row, each archer is scattered towards the position eighty steps in front of him.

As a result, the area covered by bows and arrows under the city included an area between seventy-five and eighty paces, and at this time, two thousand archers from the Xianbei army just arrived in this area, so the two thousand archers were tragic. The 6,000 arrows in the area almost left no space in this area, and 70% of the 2,000 archers fell down before firing a single arrow. Only 30% of the lucky ones lay down and survived, and then hurriedly turned around and fled.

Therefore, although the four thousand Xianbei people in front saw the situation of the archers behind them, they did not order to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and move towards the original goal screaming without the cover of the archers.

Seeing that the Xianbei people did not retreat but advanced, Huang Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: "Xianbei dog, do you think that a certain family has prepared only the front ones for you? Huh, wait, there are more exciting things to come I'm waiting for you later!" After finishing speaking,

Huang Xu waved at the guards beside him, and said, "Order all the archers to take their positions!"

"Obey, General!" The guard bowed, then turned and left to deliver the order.

Soon, the soldiers at the top of the city lined up according to Huang Xu's arrangement. The front row was a row of sword and shield soldiers, the purpose of which was to cover the archers behind them. Behind them were all low-level archers, and behind them were three rows of intermediate-level and above archer. In this way, thousands of archers were arranged into four columns, and their target area covered the entire area from fifty paces to eighty paces of Guanjiao. After the archers were in place, the voice of the messenger immediately sounded on the top of the wall.

"Attention all archers, take the bow!"

"Crackling..." A sound that made one's teeth feel sore rang out on the entire wall.

"Prepare, each target position, launch!" Followed by the command to launch.

"Buzz buzz..."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Thousands of arrows roared towards their predetermined position.

"Puff puff..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Facing the thousands of arrows falling from the sky, the four thousand Xianbei people had no way to hide. The soldiers holding the leather shields raised the shields in their hands, and at the same time danced the scimitars frantically on their heads, trying to He opened the arrow that was aimed at him, but everything was in vain. The shields in the hands of the alien cavalry were only very simple leather or wooden shields, which could not withstand the shooting of bows and arrows at all. This lungong blow on the Guan wall knocked down nearly a thousand Xianbei people, which stunned Yu Wencheng who was watching the battle behind him. Before reaching the edge of the trench in Guancheng, the Xianbei warriors had already lost nearly three thousand-man teams, almost It is 10% of the number of soldiers under his command. Not only Yu Wencheng was stunned, but the two captains next to him also looked stupid, and it took a long time to realize it, and hurried forward and said: "Master Yuwen, we can't let the warriors come forward anymore, we must do better Otherwise, the warriors will sacrifice in vain to fill the trenches. We must retreat immediately, otherwise Lord Suli will not be able to explain it.”

"That's right, Lord Yuwen, we'd better wait until most of the troops have arrived and make more preparations before attacking!"

Although Yu Wencheng was unwilling, he also knew that now was not the time to be indecisive, so he immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

"Ding ding..."

The Xianbei Central Army rang out the rapid sound of golden beeping, and the Xianbei soldiers in front of Tangtou Pass seemed to hear the sound of heaven, and they ignored the cloth bags on their bodies, threw them on the ground, and turned around and fled back.
