On the other side.
Qin Ze coldly watched the Hu cavalry galloping towards him. He stretched out his hand, and the army immediately stopped.
Seeing that these Northern Hu cavalrymen were also carrying bows and arrows, Qin Ze smiled coldly. These Hu horses were not stupid; they knew that on this kind of grassland, bows and arrows were the best weapons at the beginning of a battle!
He immediately ordered five thousand Qin archers to prepare, waiting for the enemy horses to charge into range before they could draw their bows and fire!
He had tested the combat strength of these Qin soldiers before. These brave and skilled soldiers were extremely proficient in using both halberds and broadswords!
As for bows and arrows, that was naturally no problem either. Thanks to their strong physiques, they could draw their longbows to full draw and shoot them a full 500 meters!
Of course, this 500-meter distance wasn't because their arm strength was limited to that, but because the bows and arrows from the One-Star Mall only had this much strength.
If you continue to pull the bowstring, the bow will break!
Qin Ze had considered equipping these soldiers with better weapons, but unfortunately, unlocking the two-star shop required one million points.
Although he could earn over 300,000 points every day, time was of the essence, and battle was imminent. He had no choice but to prioritize exchanging for troops and improving his soldiers' combat strength.
However, Qin Ze had already planned that once this battle ended and he had enough points, he would use them to unlock the two-star shop and fully upgrade the soldiers' equipment!
At this moment, seeing the Northern Hu cavalry getting closer and closer, Qin Ze gave an order, and the Qin elite soldiers concentrated their attention, took out their bows and began to draw their bowstrings!
At this moment, Wu Yi, along with his 1,500 men, was in a state of panic!
How could he not know the horseman's archery skills? These horsemen had been riding and shooting arrows for years, and each of them was highly skilled. They could shoot an arrow two or three hundred meters away!
His strongest subordinate could only manage about 200 meters, and how many people were like that?
Seeing that Qin Ze had already given the order for the cavalry to draw their bows and prepare to shoot, Wu Yi felt anxious. "You're going to shoot at the Hu horses? That's suicide!"
If Hu Ma's arrows came flying, and he was the first to be hit, wouldn't he die under a hail of arrows in the blink of an eye!
"Foolish! Foolish! How could he possibly know anything about military strategy and warfare!"
Wu Yi cursed inwardly. If he hadn't already come here, he would have risked his official position to escape Hu Rong Pass. Even if all else failed, he would have become a bandit in the mountains, which would have been better than dying here!
Seeing Qin Ze's calm expression, Wu Yi sighed heavily in his heart, and gripped the gun handle in his hand, determined to defend against the incoming arrows!
The sound of horses' hooves rang out incessantly. Led by Lang Yan, the Hu horse archers ran faster and faster, their faces filled with intense killing intent!
700 meters!
650 meters!
600 meters!
Lang Yan chuckled inwardly when he saw the opposing army halting and the soldiers at the forefront drawing their bows.
"Did you think you could go toe-to-toe with us? What a joke!"
"You will be dead the moment our arrows fall!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
Lang Yan immediately followed up with a loud shout: "Prepare to shoot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Northern Hu cavalrymen took out their bows and arrows from their backs and began to draw their bowstrings!
The horses continued to gallop forward, and their movements were not affected at all by the swaying caused by the horses' movement!
This is the mounted archery technique of the Northern Hu cavalry!
500 meters!
450 meters!
As the Northern Hu cavalry drew ever closer, Qin Ze's face remained ashen.
Although they were already within range, he was in no hurry to shoot.
He planned to wait until the cavalrymen were within 400 meters before firing his arrows!
Within a range of four to five hundred meters, all of these Hu cavalrymen could be brought into range. After a volley of arrows fell, the two sides were so close that the next moment would be a real battle!
Therefore, it is necessary to kill as many Hu horses as possible within this distance!
The five thousand Qin warriors had solemn expressions, their strong upper bodies straight, their breathing slow and rhythmic, their arm muscles taut, and their hawk-like eyes fixed on the enemy opposite them, while their bows were already drawn to full draw!
The next moment.
Qin Ze roared, "Release the arrows!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The Qin warriors released their bowstrings, and five thousand arrows shot out!
The cold, sharp arrowheads flashed, piercing the sky as they rained down upon the Northern Hu cavalry!
On the other side, Lang Yan's eyes narrowed, and he gasped sharply.
We still have a range of 400 meters, which is not yet enough to meet the standard for archery, but the other side has already started shooting!
Moreover, judging from the speed at which these arrows were fired, they seemed capable of reaching this side!
Lang Yan was shocked! His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Before he could even order his men to prepare, the arrows were already raining down!
"ah!"
"Watch out for the flying arrows!"
"careful!"
In an instant, a hail of arrows rained down on the Northern Hu archers who had not yet begun to fire. In just a moment, countless archers were struck by arrows and fell headlong from their horses!
The horses were still running, and the soldiers who landed were instantly trampled by their hooves and crushed on their bodies!
Screams of agony immediately filled the battlefield!
Lang Yan was terrified. As a skilled archer, he had superhuman strength, but he could only shoot arrows a little over 300 meters. Meanwhile, the soldiers opposite him shot arrows 400 meters away!
This is simply unbelievable! Are they all expert archers?
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Northern Hu archers had fallen to the arrows!
Seeing that a large number of people had already fallen on the other side, Qin Ze's eyes turned cold, and he shouted:
"Keep firing!"
At this moment, the distance was still about 350 meters. Qin Ze had to make good use of this distance and, while the Hu cavalry were still in a panic, fire another volley of arrows!
At his command, a second volley of arrows was fired!
Behind Langyan's troops, Tuqitie was so shocked to see the soldiers in front of him being hit by arrows that his jaw almost dropped!
His confident Northern Hu archers were actually defeated by the range; before they could even fire an arrow, thousands of them were killed by the enemy!
How was that done? He couldn't understand it at all!
Tu Biyan was both shocked and furious, and he roared:
"All troops, listen up! Charge immediately! Don't let them continue firing arrows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalrymen spurred their horses and galloped quickly forward!
Lang Yan then shouted in unison:
"Charge! Charge! Don't be afraid of these arrows!"
"Close the distance!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the second volley of five thousand arrows rained down!
Accompanying these five thousand arrows was the sound of horns, as loud as the howl of wolves!
A crimson banner, as red as a blazing flame, fluttered in the wind. At Qin Ze's command:
"Keep firing! Shoot down these archers!"
