In such a confrontation, the sound of arrows breaking through the air is like a death warrant!
The students of the Justice Society led by Yan Liqiang were like a group of wild wolves, circling around the guards of the Shatu caravan that were rushing over. Arrows kept flying towards the guards of the Shatu caravan. The students of the Archery Society always kept a certain distance from the guards of the Shatu caravan, strictly adhering to the iron rules of the battlefield set by Yan Liqiang for them—never fight with the enemy at close range unless there was no room to maneuver and retreat, and never use knives when they could draw their bows.
The difference in the number of people between the two sides was not too great, but the difference in weapons and tactics quickly determined the final outcome.
I can hit you, but you can't hit me, especially after the two separate groups of people encircled the Shatu guards like an iron clamp. Such a battle was destined to be a massacre.
It has to be said that the Shatu guards were very brave. When the two sides were fighting, there were constant Shatu guards holding knives, roaring, and rushing towards the students of the Kyudo Club, trying to chop them off their horses. However, in such a battle, individual bravery and fearlessness could not bring the two sides any closer. Both sides were riding rhinoceros horses, and the students of the Kyudo Club were well-rested. The horsepower of the rhinoceros horses was stronger than that of the Shatu people. When the Shatu people rushed over, the students of the Kyudo Club controlled the rhinoceros horses and always kept a distance of about fifty to one hundred meters from the Shatu people. This distance, for those Shatu people, was an insurmountable chasm of death and fate.
The last Shatu man left on the field was very strong. He used his scimitar to block several waves of arrows. When he saw his companions falling one by one and he was the only one left, the Shatu man roared and stabbed the rhino horse's hip with his scimitar. The rhino horse suddenly became manic in pain, neighing, and suddenly all four hooves were in the air. It rushed towards Yan Liqiang and the others at an unprecedented speed. However, the Shatu man hid in a stirrup, hanging upside down under the horse's belly, using the rhino horse as a shield, and continued to charge...
The rhino horse rushed within thirty meters, then fell down with arrows all over its body.
The moment the rhino horse fell, the Shatu man roared, a red light flashed on his body, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground as fast as a galloping horse, then continued to rush forward with a knife in his hand.
Yan Liqiang just looked at the Shatu man rushing towards him calmly without drawing his bow.
"Axe..."
The sound of Xiong Gungun rang out beside Yan Liqiang. After the Shatu man advanced ten meters, hundreds of sharp flying axes, with the sound of breaking through the air, covered the Shatu man like a dense net.
The Shatu man brandished his scimitar and cut off more than ten flying axes, but one of them still pierced his thigh and scratched his shoulder. When the Shatu man slowed down his movements, the bowstring trembled slightly, and hundreds of arrows pierced through his body, turning him into a hedgehog in an instant.
No matter how strong a master is, at this moment, unless his body is truly invulnerable to swords and guns and indestructible, otherwise, he will die in the end.
The Shatu man opened his eyes angrily and finally fell heavily to the ground, sending dust flying on the ground...
Finally, there was no Shatu people standing in the wilderness, only the ownerless rhinoceros horses were wandering around.
During the battle just now, all the students of the Kyudo Club were fighting as usual according to their training in the Kyudo Club. But at this time, when they saw that there was no enemy standing in front of them, many people suddenly realized, where are the enemies
There are no more enemies, we are victorious...
The battle lasted only a few minutes from the beginning to the end. The Shatu people were completely wiped out, while on Yan Liqiang's side, only a few people were injured and are still riding on rhinoceros horses. The casualty ratio of the battle was close to 500 to 0. During the first round of concentrated fire, the few archers among the Shatu guards were targeted by a group of students from the Kyudo Club who had advanced to the first and second levels of the Kyudo realm. They only had time to draw their bows once and shoot one arrow before they were all wiped out after the first round of fighting. The remaining Shatu people never got close to the Kyudo Club students from beginning to end.
Except for Yan Liqiang, almost everyone was stunned. Even Shi Changfeng could not believe that there would be such a result. They could not believe that they could be so powerful. This was simply a living miracle!
"Ten minutes to clean up the battlefield..." Yan Liqiang's voice woke everyone up from the shocking result. Then, all the students of the Kyudo Club quickly got busy and started to clean up the battlefield.
When Yan Liqiang said ten minutes, other people might not understand it, but the students of the Kyudo Club were already used to the time unit Yan Liqiang was talking about—twelve hours a day, two hours each, sixty minutes each. One minute of time was equivalent to 50 to 60 heartbeats for most students of the Kyudo Club…
Yan Liqiang called Xiong Gungun, the captain of his guard, to his side and pointed to the place where the Shatu caravan was. "There is a man there who fell to the ground after being shot off his horse by me. He has lost his ability to move, but he should not be dead yet. Catch him for me!"
"Yes!" The tall and strong Xiong Gungun responded, and then he took two people riding on rhinoceros horses and rushed towards the distance.
Shi Changfeng rode his rhino horse to the side of Yan Liqiang, staring at him closely. After hesitating for two seconds, he asked Yan Liqiang in a somewhat unbelievable tone, "You... knew this would be the result?"
In the battle just now, Shi Changfeng discovered that Yan Liqiang was only leading the team, and except for shooting a few arrows at the beginning, Yan Liqiang did not move the bow at all when fighting with these Shatu people. Moreover, Yan Liqiang looked calm about the outcome of the battle.
Yan Liqiang smiled at Shi Changfeng, "There's nothing strange about it. It would be strange if it wasn't for this result. All the training they had in the Kyudo Club, all the hardships they had gone through, every detail, from marching in formation to housekeeping, everything, was in preparation for today's result..." At this point, Yan Liqiang pointed at the Kyudo Club students who were cleaning up the battlefield in an organized and rapid manner, and said with a firm and prophetic tone, "Just wait and see, it won't be long before they will become the masters of this era and crush all enemies that stand in their way..."
In Yan Liqiang's previous life, the secret of the Mongolian cavalry sweeping across the world was the emergence of horse archers, and the concentrated use of horse archers on the battlefield was a revolutionary military change. It was a huge leap for the entire military thinking and military strategy and tactics. Hundreds of years after the demise of the Mongol Empire, a German named Guderian once again picked up the essence of the military thinking of the Mongol Empire's horse archers dominating Eurasia, and turned the tanks and armored vehicles that were previously used sporadically in the army into mechanized clusters of tanks and armored vehicles, creating a blitzkrieg that swept across Europe. The so-called blitzkrieg was nothing more than replacing horse archers with tanks and armored vehicles.
Whether in the era of cold weapons or in the era of hot weapons dominated by high technology, all physical war tools have been developed to pursue two indicators in the end - one is the mobility and concealment brought by speed, and the second is the firepower output value of long-range strike capability. Whoever can move faster and hit farther can dominate the battlefield and become the king on the battlefield. To put it more simply, on the battlefield, I can hit you, you can't hit me, and the final victory must be mine! Those planes, tanks, cannons, submarines, aircraft carriers, etc., all these war tools seem complicated, but what they ultimately pursue is to drop bombs on the opponent's head from a distance.
Speed and long-range strike capability are the ultimate historical direction for the development of war tools!
The horse archers are the combination of speed and long-range strike capability in this world. They are the tanks and armored vehicles of this world.
The manufacturing cost of bows and arrows, the cost of using horses and the limitations of people's understanding of war in this world have restricted the large-scale emergence and use of archers. However, these three problems are no longer a problem for Yan Liqiang. Bows and arrows made using traditional bow and arrow manufacturing methods are of course expensive and have a long manufacturing cycle, making them difficult to promote on a large scale. However, the spring steel manufacturing process that Yan Liqiang has mastered has cleared the last obstacle to low-cost large-scale manufacturing of bows and arrows in the future.
The Gulang Grassland will be rich in wool in the future. At the same time, the Gulang Grassland is also the largest natural horse farm in the western region of the Han Empire.
Every student in the Kyudo Club is a seed and a spark. If we spread these seeds and sparks throughout Pingxi County, Ganzhou, and even the entire Northwest, they will set the whole prairie on fire in the future.
Yan Liqiang has a lot of beautiful things in his mind, so why should he tell anyone about it
It was just the first official battle today, and the young archers from the Kyudo Club were like Gan Jiang and Mo Ye in Yan Liqiang's hands. They showed their prowess for the first time, and with just a few tries, they had already frightened away the demons.
In just a moment, Xiong Gungun grabbed a man on the saddle, rushed to Yan Liqiang, and threw the man at Yan Liqiang's feet, "Boss, this guy is not dead!"
Yan Liqiang's arrow blew off the leg of the fleeing Shatu man. Of course, the man did not die, but was injured and lost the ability to move.
"Who are you? We, the seven Shatu tribes, will not let you go." The Shatu man fell to the ground, his face covered in blood, and roared at Yan Liqiang in a stern voice.
