Fish swimming around the world
Chapter 1530 A battle across the ages
I saw all the soldiers covering their mouths and noses with silk scarves, and twenty groups of strange bow beds fired sharp arrows into the sky. These bows and arrows were assembled in a row, with a group of twelve, with a length of two meters. The arrowhead is huge. Although it is not small when assembled, with the pulley set, it is actually very easy to open the bow.
As more than two hundred giant arrows fell into the enemy formation, there was another series of explosions, this time a thick red smoke erupted. Others don't understand, but Jiang Fan understands that it is gunpowder wrapped in poisonous powder stir-fried with chili peppers.
The next moment, I saw the opponent flipping over on his horse. Not only did he lose his direction for a moment, but he also seemed to be choked by something. He coughed violently and fell off the horse. The horse also seemed to be greatly stimulated, spinning and kicking madly, and even scattered. flee.
This time, more than 2,000 of the opponent's combat strength was once again destroyed. Coupled with the previous rounds of bombardment, at least 5,000 of the opponent's troops lost their fighting ability.
The loss of so many troops before they even got close showed the power of these two strange weapons. Of course, it is not that the weapons are really so lethal, but more that the horses lose control due to being frightened and the attrition is caused.
The elite barbarian soldiers are indeed extraordinary. Even so, they are still charging, even charging harder.
In the blink of an eye, they had advanced more than a hundred feet, and were less than a hundred feet away from Jiang Fan's position. At this time, the third wave of attacks came.
This time there were two thousand soldiers with bows and arrows. The arrows were also some kind of strange big-headed things. The bows were also very strange. Although they were not big, their shapes were equally complex.
But still a hundred feet away, less than a stone's throw away, Montaigne decisively ordered the launch.
Another surprise, the range of the compound bow was much beyond that of a normal bow.
As the dense rain of arrows shot into the sky, it quickly landed among the barbarian cavalry. As expected, those arrows also made a crackling sound. Although it was much smaller than the previous two, they could not withstand the density. It was just this In one round, thousands of people on the other side were directly hit by arrows, and more than 4,000 people were affected by the explosion. Effectively curbed the charging momentum of the barbarians. From this distance, you can even hear the other party's frightened shouts.
Of course, there was no mercy. The soldiers fired two rounds in a row, directly and indirectly taking away about 5,000 people from the opponent again.
In this way, after three rounds of attacks, less than half of the enemy soldiers two hundred meters away were lost.
But the barbarians were a brave people on horseback. After suffering a loss, they finally knew how to spread out and continue to charge towards them.
But less than thirty feet away, there was an earth-shattering explosion on the ground, as if the earth was roaring, and dust was kicked up several feet high.
This time, the opponent couldn't hold it anymore. Let alone the people, the war horses lost control first. The frightened horses scattered in all directions and collided with the people and horses beside and behind them, causing huge chaos.
At this moment, Montaigne's charge order was issued in time.
Four thousand soldiers and horses were divided into two teams and rushed out, heading straight towards the chaotic enemy.
However, at a distance of fifty meters, the two hundred or so people at the front suddenly pulled the trigger, and the strange box in their hands sprayed out countless short crossbow arrows, as dense as locusts, harvesting countless lives.
After completing the launch, they stepped aside and were overtaken by the people behind them.
The ones who rushed up this time were cavalrymen holding black horizontal swords in their hands.
The two sides finally came to blows. But rather than talking about a close encounter, it is better to say that the chaotic barbarians were being massacred.
The sharp swords in their hands effortlessly broke through the opponent's leather armor, frantically harvesting lives one by one.
In the rush, some barbarians reacted, but few were able to break through the strange armor on the Qin army.
A one-sided massacre.
All the spectators were stunned. This war completely subverted their understanding.
Especially Xinyue and the others looked extremely horrified. For the first time, she saw the power of the Chinese. Thirty thousand elite soldiers were so vulnerable that they collapsed and became a living target for anyone to kill.
The old hero Wang Gelu couldn't help but breathe in the cold air: "...I said...why did His Majesty say that the world will change because of the regent..."
Needless to say, Xiaoyaohui, at the moment I am shocked and speechless, but when I look back there will definitely be a cheer, and I have to shout crazy about how civilized and martial arts unified the world.
Only Jiang Fan knew that this was a battle across the ages and the first appearance of gunpowder on a frontal battlefield. Although it was quite crude, it was of extraordinary significance.
It's a pity that these small steel cannons have just been developed not long ago, and the workmanship is simply shoddy. Not to mention other things, not only did the barrels explode frequently, but the artillery shells often flew uncontrollably all over the sky. They were comparable to the missiles used by Brother Asan in the past. Fortunately, it was in an open field surrounded by enemies. In any other place, Jiang Fan would not have been able to do it. Dare to use it.
Those compound crossbows are better, but their accuracy is not good either. They are better because of their long killing range and the blessing of gunpowder warheads that the opponent does not understand. In fact, the most decent weapon at present is the repeating crossbow. It is short and powerful. It fires twelve rounds at a time and is invincible at close range.
As for the landmines, although they are made using local methods, they don't have much technical content, are highly lethal, and are enough to scare people, so they can exert considerable power on this kind of battlefield.
Only the armor and knives are quite mature and have been mass-produced. Their performance in this battle was also very satisfactory.
All these equipment are used more to catch the opponent off guard this time, but the barbarians don't know it, and they can definitely play a powerful deterrent effect for a long time.
The battle was over. From the first round of bombardment to the end of the battlefield, it took less than two quarters of an hour.
The barbarians suffered more than 17,000 casualties, more than 8,000 escaped, and more than 3,000 were captured.
Less than 20 Chinese soldiers died in the battle, and 80 were injured, with a total of less than 100 casualties.
Meng Tian was excited, jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee to report to Jiang Fan.
It was the first time for him to fight such a man, and he was really excited. Looking up at the calm young king, he felt like he was looking up at the gods.
Meng Yi excitedly waved his fist to the sky: "Master is mighty, Master is invincible!"
Then, the whole army actually roared in unison: "Your Highness is mighty, Your Highness is invincible!"
The roar was like a wave, resounding in all directions of the empty wilderness.
In the distance, they were all riding on horses, and their burly bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
"This... is the King Xiaoyao?"
Du Lun's Adam's apple rolled twice: "... Yes, this is what he said, that we should remember this day forever..."
Du Meng's pupils suddenly contracted...
Mo Rigen was stunned, tied up and pressed to the ground, and couldn't believe what he saw.
Yes, he was also captured, and it was Meng Yi who brought Ba Xiong to capture him alive.
It's a pity that the King Hunxie was not seen. I don't know if this old jackal hid in the team and escaped, or didn't come at all.
Jiang Fan sighed, walked forward slowly, and looked down at Morigen: "There is a saying in the Chinese tribe, if there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you will come to it."
Mo Rigen finally came to his senses, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Forgive me, forgive me, don't kill me--"
Jiang Fan looked at him contemptuously: "So-called grassland warrior? Nothing more than that!"
Mo Rigen howled: "If you let me go, I will let Ada pay a huge ransom."
Jiang Fan chuckled: "Ransom? It can't redeem your sins, Morigen."
Morigen was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "You can't kill me, my father will go to war with the Qin State--"
Jiang Fan laughed and kicked him down: "Mo Rigen, you overestimate your value. Your father has more than 30 descendants, but you are such a waste? This king promises that he will not even admit what happened today, let alone revenge for you. You accept your fate--"
Morigen was horrified.
Jiang Fan turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuan: "Miss Xiao Yuan, I have done what I promised you. He... will be handed over to you."
Xiao Yuan stared at Jiang Fan blankly. She never expected that it would happen so quickly and so suddenly. Facing this mortal enemy, the enemy who cruelly killed the princess and her three sisters, she was at a loss for a moment.
Until Cao Ying stuffed a dagger into her hand: "Xiao Yuan, it's time... to let Sisi and your sisters rest in peace."
Xiao Yuan looked at the dagger in her hand, and then at the appearance of her enemy, her eyes suddenly burst into cold light——
