Chapter 47: The First Battle of the Battle of Sarhu
"Current the angle and wait for my order." Gu Xiao rode on the horse, watching all directions and listening, looking at Jianlu who was appearing in the distance, and shouting loudly towards him.
At this moment, his four parts of Fenglin Volcano were ready. The ones in front were crossbowmen holding the divine arm bow. These crossbowmen were the Fenglin Volcanoes among the four parts of Fenglin Volcanoes. At the beginning, Gu Xiao was always thinking about whether the crossbowmen holding the divine arm bow in his hand was better or the Zhuge crossbow.
Later, after repeated consideration, he finally gave up the Zhuge Crossbow. You should know that although this Zhuge Crossbow can shoot ten arrows in the shortest time, it is extremely powerful, in terms of penetration, the power of the Zhuge Crossbow is obviously not as powerful as this divine arm bow.
You should know that the Divine Arm Bow can break armor within 300 steps, and its penetration power is definitely far above the Zhuge Crossbow.
Therefore, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Gu Xiao finally gave up the idea of adopting Zhuge Crossbow and instead placed his target on the divine arm bow. Moreover, after repeated practical training in recent years, Gu Xiao discovered that this armor-breaking weapon hundreds of years ago was indeed well-deserved.
Gu Xiao looked into the distance, the Jianlu who were riding on horseback, wearing cotton armor, and ferocious faces, were getting closer and closer to them.
Even Gu Xiao could already see the lightning rods above the heads of Jianlu.
Beside Gu Xiao, the crossbowmen have now loaded their arrows, and they all raised the heavy divine arm bows in their hands, eager to try.
Gu Xiao looked at Jianlu in front of him and felt that his mind had finally returned to an absolutely rational environment at this moment. No matter in front of him or within ten feet of his own radius, there was nothing that could be hidden from him.
At this moment, Gu Xiao could feel that in his heart, all his selfish thoughts had completely disappeared, no matter what it was, he could no longer interfere with his judgment. Now he only had the last thought in his mind: defeat the enemy in front of him!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao closely paid attention to the movements of the enemies in front of him and began to silently estimate the distance between them:
Five hundred steps!
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred and fifty steps!
Three hundred steps!
Finally, when Jianlu had reached about three hundred steps in front of him, Gu Xiao finally moved. An arm that had been raised high at some point was waved heavily, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow! Three shots!"
Wow! A neat sound of arrows sounded. After he said this order, the crossbowman who was originally still and aimed at the enemy in front of him, finally began to move.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows drew a graceful arc in the air and shot towards Jianlu. Although the arrow was not tight enough, each arrow was accurately aimed at Jianlu. The cavalry in white armor shot and firmly laid a net of arrows in the air.
"Hahaha, can Geng Shaonan's little barbarian fight at all?" In the distance, the wild boar skin looked at everything that happened in front of him and burst into laughter. He had almost been fighting on this battlefield for a lifetime, and he had never heard of anyone's crossbow that could hit the enemy within three hundred steps.
"Ah!" "Ah!"...
Just as the wild boar skin was laughing, it seemed impossible to shoot the crossbow arrow of his Eight Banner Warriors. However, it was shot very simply on his warriors. In the Eight Banners cavalry team, screams kept coming. The crossbow arrow shot from the Divine Arm Bow shot through the very easy way to see the Wild Boar skin and his nephews. It was very strong cotton armor.
Almost none of the crossbow arrows were wasted, and each arrow could shoot through the extremely strong cotton armor and take away a person's life.
"Three-stage shooting! Don't stop!" Gu Xiao shouted loudly and ordered again.
At this moment, the crossbowman in the first row had shot out all the crossbow arrows on his crossbow. After hearing Gu Xiao's orders, the crossbowman in the first row immediately squatted down obediently, drew a crossbow arrow from the arrow bag he carried with him, and loaded it up again.
After the crossbowmen in the first row squatted down, the crossbowmen in the second row immediately shot out the precious crossbow arrows in their divine arm bows, and shot them straight towards the bows and arrows they had taken out with them at this moment, and began to shoot them back.
After being hit by Gu Xiao's subordinates with the Divine Arm Bow, the cruelty and violence hidden in the blood of the Jianlu were finally stimulated by the blood of their companions. They all took out the bows and arrows they carried with them and began to fight back.
Unfortunately, there was no crossbow among Jianlu, so they could only shoot feather arrows at Gu Xiao's subordinates with their own bow arrows. It has to be admitted that the Eight Banners soldiers are indeed not comparable to the Eight Banners masters who wander around all day in later generations.
Because, at the moment when the distance between them was still two or three hundred steps away, even though most of the feather arrows shot by the Eight Banners soldiers fell to the ground weakly, some of the crossbow arrows successfully approached Gu Xiao's crossbowmen. Even more than a dozen crossbowmen were shot dead and injured on the spot!
Gu Xiao watched his crossbowman and the enemy's team start shooting, but just quietly estimated the distance and casualties between them.
After two years of fighting with the Tatars, these once poor military households, swordsmen who carried swords and farmers who farmed all day long have now become some fierce soldiers and soldiers who are fearless. Even if they see that their companions are dead, there will naturally be other people who will come forward to take the harp arm bow from their companions' hands and continue to shoot deadly crossbow arrows at the damn Jianlu.
In the distance, the wild boar skin looked at the current battlefield and his face immediately turned ashen.
What did he see? In front of him, his Eight Banners warriors did not take any advantage in the crossbow shooting. The little barbarian Geng Shaonan actually took out a crossbow that could shoot two or three hundred steps, which made his warriors almost unable to fight back.
In just a moment, on the battlefield, almost one or two thousand warriors died under the crossbow of Geng Shaonan's little barbarian.
"Little Man of Geng Shaonan, I must kill you!" Wild Boar Skin cursed angrily, "Who do you know, what kind of crossbow is Geng Shaonan using?"
After cursing Gu Xiao with great anger, Wild Boar Skin once again focused his attention on the eight major belles beside him and asked. While resenting this crossbow, Wild Boar Skin also began to be full of greed for this crossbow, and wanted to take this crossbow for himself.
Most of the eight major belles shook their heads in a daze, only the old Ba Huang Taiji showed a thoughtful expression.
"Lao Ba, do you know?" asked the wild boar skin.
"Ama, if I remember correctly, during the Song Dynasty, the barbarians had a crossbow that could shoot two or three hundred steps beyond armor, called the Divine Arm Bow, also called the Divine Arm Bow. However, I heard that this kind of crossbow is expensive, and the barbarians don't need it themselves!" Huang Taiji said hesitantly.
"What do you mean is Geng Shaonan's little man, the crossbow that he took out now is the divine arm bow?" Wild Boar Skin said impatiently.
Huang Taiji said hesitantly: "It should be."
"Hmph!" The wild boar skin snorted angrily, and then once again placed his eyes on the battlefield. At this moment, under the fearless charge of the Eight Banners soldiers, the distance between two or three hundred steps was finally filled with the bodies of their companions.
The distance between the two armies has now been narrowed from 300 steps at the beginning to more than 100 steps. Moreover, the Eight Banners Warriors have already begun to shoot in real shots, and the divine arm bows in the hands of the barbarians can no longer play the role they had at the beginning.
Gu Xiao was paying close attention to the battle situation. At this moment, Jianlu's troops had already narrowed the distance between them within a hundred steps. His divine arm bow could no longer suppress Jianlu's cavalry in all aspects as he did at the beginning, and the casualties of the crossbowmen were no longer small.
In just a while, almost one hundred crossbowmen had closed their eyes forever, and two or three hundred crossbowmen were injured.
"The Feng tribe retreats, and the Fire tribe comes forward!" Seeing this scene, Gu Xiao ordered again.
Crazy! After hearing Gu Xiao's order infused with true energy, the crossbowmen of the Feng tribe retreated from both sides of the square formation like flowing clouds and water, revealing the fire troops behind them. (To be continued.)
