Okay!
Upon hearing Zhao Muyun's order, Han Zhong jumped up.
The waves of arrows from the Tartars were like raindrops, making them feel very suffocated.
If Han Zhong didn't want to reveal his strength too early, he would have asked Zhao Muyun to bring up the archers and launch a fierce counterattack.
Five hundred of the latest compound bows, with a range of two hundred steps and extremely high accuracy.
If they were launched simultaneously, the Tartars would definitely be made to cry for their parents and be at a loss as to which direction to take.
One thousand infantrymen, all of whom participated in the training, mastered the skills of using the compound bow, and conducted shooting training every three days.
Two people taking turns using it can also improve the continuous cruising capability.
As long as there are enough arrows, the arrow fire coverage can be ensured to be uninterrupted.
However, Zhao Muyun ordered Han Zhong to send 100 men to shoot arrows at a time, and the firepower was sufficient.
Just as the Tartar arrows came wave after wave, Han Zhong began his counterattack.
After the hundred soldiers spread out about three feet apart, they drew their bows with arrows pointing obliquely towards the sky.
shoot!
Han Zhong shouted angrily.
Then with a bang, it rose from behind the city wall, and dense black spots suddenly appeared in the sky. After drawing graceful arcs, it fell into the Tartar cavalry group a hundred steps away from the city wall like a torrential rain.
The Tartars' arrows could not reach the position of these one hundred soldiers.
These one hundred soldiers took advantage of their range to attack the Tatars outside the city.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The arrows cut through the air with a sharp sound, like a symphony of death.
Twenty or thirty Tartars immediately fell off their horses.
"How can their bows shoot so far?"
Riding a tall horse and wearing silver armor, Ogeduo stood in the center of the team. When he first saw his men's archery skills suppressing the people on the city wall so much that they could not raise their heads, he shot a few arrows in retaliation, his face full of disdain.
There are not many Dayin soldiers here, and the main force is only from Yinzhou City.
There is no practical point in showing weakness to those behind the city wall and luring them out.
His strategy would only be successful if he could lure out the Dayin soldiers from Yinzhou City.
Therefore, after preparing a volley of arrows to suppress the enemy, he ordered his soldiers to attack violently.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be easy to take it down with a force of one hundred soldiers.
Just when he was about to send a centurion to lead the troops to launch a strong attack directly under the city wall, the sudden arrow surprised him!
Before Timur lost his power, he warned Ogede that Zhao Muyun's bow and arrow seemed to be extraordinary. Timur had suffered a loss and must be careful when facing him in the future.
But Ogkutuo did not take it seriously. He thought that even if Zhao Muyun's bows and arrows were extraordinary, they were only a few in number, and they had to be made by people with extraordinary talents and strength.
However, now that so many powerful bows suddenly appeared in Zhao Muyun's army, he suddenly remembered Timur's reminder, and how could he not be shocked.
Just as Ogeduo was astonished, two more waves of bullets were shot out from behind the city wall.
Arrows fell densely into the densely packed Tatar troops, killing another forty or fifty people in one fell swoop.
"If this continues, we might lose hundreds of men before we even reach the city walls! This is a huge loss!"
Ogeduo slapped his forehead and immediately ordered a bronze-armored Tartar: "Your men, charge forward and attack!"
The bronze-armored Tartar also realized that if they continued to engage in long-range shooting like this, they would be the ones who would suffer. So when he heard Ogeduo's order, he drew his scimitar without hesitation and clamped his horse's belly:
"Follow me!"
One hundred Tartars immediately followed.
The city wall is more than 20 meters high, so there is no need for a ladder. You can climb it by stacking a human ladder.
As long as they rushed to the base of the wall, they would basically be able to take control of the low wall.
The Tatars are still very confident in their own fighting ability.
The colder the weather, the stronger their fighting capacity; when the weather gets hotter, they become weaker.
It is still spring and the temperature is not very high.
Shi Yong, who was behind the city wall, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his crossbows had gained a long-range advantage, but then he saw a group of Tatars swarming towards him.
He hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, pick up your spears and stab anyone who comes up. Never let them climb onto the city wall."
In front of Zhao Muyun and the veterans at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower, Shi Yong was the object of everyone's good-natured teasing.
However, in front of his soldiers, he was a mature young man with a tough character, like an unbreakable stone.
Upon hearing Shi Yong's order, a hundred soldiers appeared on the top of the city wall with spears in hand, staring nervously at the approaching Tartars, their palms sweating.
Some people even trembled all over and their teeth chattered.
Shi Yong's hundred soldiers were selected from the refugees in Yanzhou and Xiazhou, and then veterans were sent from other places to serve as squad leaders.
They were sent here to garrison after two months of training.
Compared with the one thousand Yinzhou soldiers who came out of Shulechuan and participated in the sneak attack on the Tatar tribe and the royal court, their psychological quality is much worse.
After all, it was their first time facing the brutal Tartars at close range, so it was normal for them to feel fear and nervous.
If we can't pass this level, then it will be impossible to fight the Tartars one-on-one in the future.
Soon, the Tartars reached the wall.
They just need to stand on the horse's back and jump onto the wall in one leap.
"Don't be afraid, don't panic, hold on to the gun!"
More than a dozen veterans under Shi Yong shouted to the soldiers around them to encourage them, "Think about it, they are your enemies. They are the ones who won't let us live a peaceful life!"
"Any man with eggs, facing his enemy, has only one word: kill!"
Most of them did not want to join the rebels because of Li Jingang's rebellion, so they were forced to become refugees, taking their families with them.
Many people have lost their homes and loved ones.
They finally had two months of peace and quiet in Yinzhou, but then the Tartars came again.
The words were rough but true. The veterans' words calmed the trembling soldiers a lot, and their eyes were suddenly filled with hatred.
"Lord Zhao taught you this personally. You've practiced these assassination moves thousands of times every day. They'll come in handy soon!"
"Aim at the Tartar and stab him!"
Shi Yong also drew out a long straight-blade sword that shone with a cold light, and loudly encouraged the morale of his soldiers!
This sword, which looks like a horizontal sword, was the first batch made by Lu Zhizi and his blacksmith workshop after working day and night for twenty days!
One hundred and thirteen in total!
As soon as the knife came out, Zhao Muyun immediately ordered Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu's scout battalion and all officers above the rank of sergeant in the army to equip them.
Giving them swords is to let them lead the charge and fight bravely against the enemy.
Otherwise, would it be better to give them such a good knife as a decoration?
Shi Yong must have matched one!
As soon as he got the knife, he couldn't let it go. He practiced his knife skills hard, and today it finally came in handy.
Today he will use this knife to split the armor of a bronze-armored Tartar with his own hands!
"Everyone, pay attention! The Tartars are about to show up!"
At this moment, an old soldier shouted!
Everyone shuddered:
"kill!"
