Chapter 437 Destroy Chu [Part 2]
"Release!" the military order sounded.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Because this war was too huge, the longbowmen spared no effort. Each row of longbowmen fired wildly at a rate of ten arrows per minute. Three rows of longbowmen caused a rain of arrows to appear in the sky every two seconds on average.
The rain of arrows caused chaos in the Chu army's formation. This was also because the Chu army had too many new recruits, many of whom had no combat experience. Moreover, the old man's slow reaction made them unable to react when the arrow rain came. The people who reacted squatted on the ground and blocked their bodies with shields, but they also hindered the advancement of the soldiers behind them.
The chaos weakened the Chu army's defense against the arrow rain, and a large number of Chu army soldiers were pinned to the ground by long arrows. In particular, the longbowmen's archery method is projectile. The arrows are shot from the top, and most of the places they hit are the head and chest.
Yang Zilu didn¡¯t expect the Chu army to be so rubbish. After thinking for a while, Yang Zilu ordered: ¡°Slowly press forward!¡±
The sound of slow war drums immediately sounded in the battle formation, and the infantry advanced slowly with neat steps. The Han army was not advancing very fast, but its momentum was very overwhelming, and its neat pace seemed to hit the hearts of the Chu soldiers. The faces of the soldiers who had not been on the battlefield suddenly turned pale, and even the faces of the veterans who had been on the battlefield became more or less not so good-looking.
King Hui of Chu roared angrily in order to boost morale. "rush!"
After King Chu Hui said this, he led Gong Jia to charge forward in person. He had no way out, let alone any choice.
"High morale is based on the fact that the opponent's morale is also low!" Yang Zilu looked at King Chu Hui with a sneer in his eyes. It was not affected by the fact that King Hui of Chu took the lead.
"Kill!!!" Stimulated by King Hui of Chu, the Chu army's originally low morale improved again. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the longbowmen's arrow rain has stopped. Although the longbowmen are very powerful, they also consume a lot of physical strength.
Although theoretically the maximum firing rate of longbowmen can reach twelve arrows per minute, these are all theoretical. There is an end to human strength, especially longbowmen who need a lot of strength to shoot arrows. Let alone twelve arrows, even if they shoot ten arrows in one minute, it is enough for longbowmen. Therefore, the longbowmen only fired for about half a minute, and then they retreated to the back to rest.
Only the crossbowmen were left on the battlefield shooting arrows slowly. Although the crossbowmen were slow, their power was not inferior to that of the longbowmen. And relatively speaking, the sustained combat capability of the crossbowmen is higher than that of the longbowmen. Of course, ignoring their turtle-like rate of fire, they may become the best ranged unit on the battlefield.
Slowly entering the shooting range, the Chu soldiers also began to fight back, but their counterattack was so weak in front of the Han army, and the archers were hit hard by the Han army's powerful crossbowmen. The unarmored archers, under the attack of the crossbowmen, were like a group of sheep encountering evil wolves, and they were extremely miserable.
Blood flowers kept blooming in the air, followed by archers who fell one after another, with panic in each of their pupils. Although the Chu army has more archers than the Han army's crossbowmen, their range is unfortunately not as good as the crossbowmen. They could only shoot arrows at the Han infantry, but facing the Han army who were fully clothed, the Chu army's arrows had limited lethality.
The archers of the Chu army finally realized that they were just a bunch of hard-working people. They fought honestly with swords, and their lethality was probably a bit greater. King Hui of Chu was also helpless about this. Under the exploitation of the Han State, he did not have much money at all, especially chariot soldiers. Because they had to pay tribute to the Han State with war horses, the Chu State finally reduced it to only a hundred chariots.
As for weapons, you can imagine that a considerable number of soldiers directly cut bamboo poles and wrapped them with a thin layer of bronze skin. In terms of armor, don't even think about it. Having a piece of armor made of bamboo is a big dream for the soldiers of the Chu army.
Amidst the beating of drums, the melee troops on both sides were eliminated.
"Go!"
"Kill!"
"Great Chu will be victorious!"
The Chu soldiers roared, spread their legs, and charged towards the Han army.
"Ping the spear!" Compared with the Chu army, the Han army was very calm. Like a big mountain, no matter what kind of enemy he faces, he will always be like that, but it is impossible to ignore.
The long spear was lowered in an instant, forming a forest of steel thorns in front of the Chu army.
"Ah!" The Chu soldiers rushing in the front row opened their eyes wide, opened their mouths, and burst into a loud shout. It was not clear whether it was panic or roaring. But no matter which kind it is, there is noIt's righteous, because they all have only one result, and that is death!
The soldiers of the Chu army didn¡¯t know whether they were pushed or if they couldn¡¯t stop themselves. All in all, the Chu soldiers running in the front row crashed into the forest of steel spears in an instant, and red blood mixed with flesh and blood spattered.
The screams were loud and clear amid the sound of weapons entering flesh.
"One! Two! One!" the officer shouted loudly next to the spear battle formation.
The soldier lowered his head, arched his body slightly, pressed his left shoulder against the shield, and kept moving forward with a low growl.
The soldiers of the Chu army were struggling. Behind them were their comrades, who kept squeezing them in. In front was a forest of steel spears. After the war, a considerable number of Chu army soldiers could tell from their faces before death that they refused to die with their eyes in peace.
From a certain perspective, they thought that they did not die at the hands of the Han army, but at the hands of their own comrades. However, the Chu army's charge was not without effect. Countless soldiers sacrificed their lives for the Han army's spears to break continuously.
"Work harder! The Han barbarians can't hold it anymore!" Upon seeing this, King Hui of Chu's eyes lit up, and he tried his best to encourage the Chu soldiers behind them.
"Your Majesty, where are your ambush troops? If we don't send them out, even if we win, the casualties will be huge!" Zilu said tactfully. In fact, the hidden meaning of his words was that if we don't take action, we might be defeated.
Yang Zilu smiled calmly, pointed in the direction of Wancheng, and said: "Then it will appear?"
In the direction of Wancheng, a black smoke like a black dragon appeared and shot straight into the sky.
And at this moment, the Chu army was in formation.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened. Wancheng was attacked by Han barbarians! Wancheng has fallen! The Queen Mother, the Queen and all the ladies have died for the country!" A soldier covered in blood came to King Chu Hui and said: said the voice.
"What did you say?" King Chu Hui immediately took a step back, unable to accept this reality at all.
But the soldier had already fallen to the ground. A nearby soldier went up to check and found that he had been seriously injured, and he only had one breath left before he came to him. After loudly announcing the news of the fall of King Hui of Chu, Wancheng, he was relieved.
