Chapter 845: I'm Not Stupid

Next. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the sky was about to dawn, the Wei army camp in the east of Yong'an City was already full of smoke and began to bury the pot to cook.

Half an hour later, all 40,000 soldiers had eaten their meals, full of spirits and high morale.

In the camp, the sound of the assembly horn blew, tearing apart the silence of the morning.

The spirits of the 40,000 soldiers immediately rose to the top, and they knew that a bloody battle was about to begin.

This time, the enemy they faced was no longer the traditional Hulu such as the Xiongnu and Qiang people, but the newly rising Xianbei people in the Saiwai grassland.

It was this emerging Hulu who trampled through the mountains and rivers of Bingzhou, slaughtered many compatriots in Bingzhou, and the hands of every Xianbei person were stained with the blood of the people of Great Wei.

The various actions of the Xianbei people have accumulated too much anger in the hearts of these Great Wei Erlang, and they have long hoped to be able to kill all the Hulu and avenge their dead compatriots.

Today will be the day of their revenge!

With a vengeful anger in their hearts, a Wei infantry and cavalry, silently but in an orderly manner, drove out of the camp and finished the formation in the east of Yong'an City.

This was not the first time that the Wei army had faced superior enemy cavalry, but the formation they formed this time was very different from the previous ones.

This time, a new weapon appeared in the Wei army's array - the Wugang car.

The Wugang car was not invented by the emperor of the Great Wei, but was there during the Han Dynasty.

And today, under the chaos, the armies of the Central Plains countries, either cavalry or infantry, have rarely used chariots.

And this time, the pottery merchant ordered Li Mu to lead the army to deal with the Xianbei people, and Li Mu asked the pottery merchant to equip him with nearly a thousand Wugang cars.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Li Mu was dressed in Xuanjia, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his calm eyes watched as the formation of the armies had been completed.

The front is equipped with a thick shield covered with cowhide and a spear tied on both sides, which constitutes the main body of the Wei army's defensive formation, and between each Wugang chariot, there are spearmen and large shield hands arranged in front and back, forming a dense forest of spear and shield walls.

On the body of the Wugang car, there are two archers, who can rely on the height of the Wugang car to shoot at the enemy with a relatively wide field of vision.

Behind the Wugang car, there were nearly 5,000 crossbowmen, because the arrows of the crossbowmen were fired from the back, which was conducive to the formation of a parabola to strike at the enemy, so they did not need a good field of vision, so they were arranged behind the Wugang car.

On both sides of the formation, there were more than 5,000 cavalry on each side, protecting the flanks.

Li Mu's Chinese army, that is, the rear army, was nearly 10,000 cavalry, protecting the rear of the car array.

Composed of infantry, cavalry, crossbowmen, spearmen, shieldmen, archers, and chariots, this iron wall stood majestically in the morning light, waiting for the enemy to come.

Above the east gate of Yong'an, the potters had already climbed to the top of the city, and their eagle eyes could barely see the formation of their own army through the dazzling morning light.

"Li Mu is worthy of a generation of famous generals, in the ordinary infantry array, and added the Wugang car, it can greatly increase the defense of the military formation, wonderful, this formation is very wonderful, it seems that I did not summon the wrong person......" The potter nodded secretly, and a little approval flashed in his eyes.

In the next second, the potter felt that the city wall under his feet began to tremble slightly, and the rumbling thunder sounded in his ears, and at the end of his vision, the dust that covered the sky swept in, almost obscuring the light of the rising sun in the east.

"Maudun, are you finally here......" The potter muttered to himself coldly, and the murderous intent in the eagle's eyes gradually ignited.

In the rolling dust and mist, at the end of the east, 60,000 Xianbei iron horsemen came with the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking.

The glow of the early morning illuminated the blades of the Xianbei people, and the cold light reflected was even more dazzling.

A moment later, outside of Lixu, the Xianbei people stopped their galloping footsteps, revealing their true colors of hideous slaughter.

As far as the eye can see, the black pressure of the Xianbei people is boundless, like a sea of death, and the weapons and armor are flashing with a little essence and cold light, all over the mountains, and the killing is monstrous.

To the northeast, Mao Dun had climbed a dirt mountain, and the banner of the wolf king, which symbolized his authority, was raised high and hung on the dirt mountain, flying proudly.

Mao Dun stood on the top of the earth mountain, looking down, you can clearly see the formation of the Wei army, and you can also see that there are no cattle hidden in the Wei army, and there is no rainstorm crossbow, just a normal infantry and shield array, but more than a thousand more chariots.

"This Li Mu also has some ability, and this car formation is quite compact." Mao Dun nodded slightly, his eyes showed a bit of approval, but he sneered: "It's a pity, do you think that a few more broken cars can stop my Da Xianbei's 60,000 iron horses!" ”

With a sneer, Mao Dun looked beyond the Wei army's military formation, looked towards Yong'an City in the distance, and vaguely saw the flying imperial tent of the Wei State.

He knew that the invincible and invincible Great Wei Emperor Tao Shang was standing in that city at the moment, and he was also watching the great battle that broke out immediately.

Mao Dun felt that the potter's gaze seemed to be making eye contact with him from afar.

Mao Dun smiled coldly and said proudly: "Potter, you are strong, but unfortunately, today Ben Shan Yu will personally break the myth of your undefeated!" Let's use this big victory as the beginning of my great Xianbei invasion of the Central Plains and enslavement of you weak Chinese. ”

After the pride was vented, Mao Dun did not hesitate at all, waved his horse whip, and shouted: "Order Ma Chao to immediately attack the enemy formation with five thousand horsemen!" ”

Woo woo woo -

On the earth mountain, the sound of killing and killing rose to the sky, and the flag of the wolf king shook like the wind, and Ma Chao, who was in battle under the earth mountain, issued an order to attack.

Ma Chao glanced at the Lingqi on the earth mountain, and then looked at the Wei Array that was as solid as an iron wall, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Big brother, that big order is clearly sacrificing us and letting us do a tentative attack." Ma Dai next to him said in a deep voice.

Ma Chao's brows deepened, how could he not know the intention of Mao Dun.

The reality of the oncoming Wei army is not yet known, the first impact will be injured by the Wei army's strong bow and crossbow, and the casualties are unpredictable, and this first wave of impact is obviously used to test the strength of the Wei army.

Of the 5,000 cavalry under his command, about 3,000 were brought out by him from the Qin State, and Mao Dun only added less than 2,000 Xianbei cavalry to him, and those 2,000 cavalry were not elites.

Obviously, Mao Dun did not regard him as his own, but as an "outsider" who could be sacrificed and consumed, and used him and his descendants to test the strength of the Wei army.

"Under the fence, that's the only way to go......"

Ma Chao secretly gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the fire in his chest, pointed the big gun in his hand at the Wei army, and shouted: "Da Dan Yu has an order, the whole army will break through the Wei formation with me, rush-"

In the roar, Ma Chao rode like lightning, and he was the first to kill wildly.

Ma Dai shook his head helplessly, and could only follow, and the subsequent five thousand cavalry also roared, rushing towards the Wei army like a tide.

The iron horse was rolling, the sky was cracking, and it was wrapped in the wild dust in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it had galloped nearly two hundred steps.

Li Mu didn't move like a mountain, and only shouted lightly: "Beat the drums, the crossbowmen release arrows!" ”

Tom tom tom -

The drums of war rose to the sky, and the order was issued, and the five thousand crossbowmen who were behind Wu Gang's car immediately raised the hard crossbow high and slanted towards the sky.

Bang Bang Bang -

The sound of strings tore through the eardrums, and five thousand crossbow arrows rose into the air, carrying the sound of whining and breaking the wind, and rushed straight at the enemy's horse.

The rain of arrows flew to the top, then swooped down, and a few seconds later, it rained down in an overwhelming blast.

Blood splattered one after another, horses neighed one after another, and countless enemy riders were instantly nailed to the ground.

With just one round of arrows, more than 600 of the 5,000 enemy cavalry were nailed to the ground, and the losses were not light.

The enemy cavalry ran non-stop, still running to the death, and the crossbow machine was heavy, and the reloading speed was not fast, and by the time the second arrow was loaded and wanted to be fired again, the enemy cavalry had rushed to within a hundred paces.

With such a close distance, the elevation angle is non-stop, and it is no longer possible to shoot on the back with a crossbow machine, and if you shoot flat, it is easy to shoot at the foot soldiers in front of you.

Li Mu did not hesitate for a moment, and shouted again: "The crossbowmen are collected, and the archers shoot at will!" ”

When the order was laid, the sound of the drums in the Wei army suddenly changed, and a new order was issued.

On the more than 1,000 Wugang cars, nearly 3,000 archers immediately stood up, and with the help of the height of the Wugang cars, they fired arrows frantically at the oncoming enemy horses.

Whoosh whoosh -

Sharp arrows burst out of the air and swooped straight at the oncoming enemy cavalry.

The accuracy of the archers is theoretically higher than that of the crossbowmen, but the Wei army is arrayed in the north and south, and the eyes are facing the rising sun, and under the stimulation of the sun, they cannot effectively aim at the enemy cavalry, and the accuracy is naturally greatly reduced.

After a round of arrows, the enemy cavalry was shot, and less than a hundred horsemen were shot.

When the second round of arrows was fired, there were only about sixty or seventy horsemen, and they were shot to the ground.

After only three shots, the enemy cavalry rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, and the Wei army had no chance to release arrows.

"Sure enough, the backlight array, the power of the bow shot has been greatly weakened......" Li Mu frowned, and there was not much shock, he was mentally prepared for the situation in front of him.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was approaching, Li Mu took a deep breath, held the horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted: "The former army spear and shield man, prepare to meet the impact of the enemy cavalry, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed!" ”

In front, nearly 10,000 gun and shield bearers clenched the guns and shields in their hands, their nerves were tense to the extreme, and they were mentally prepared to meet the impact of the sky and the earth.

In the frontal direction, more than 4,000 horsemen under the command of Ma Chaotong had already rushed to thirty paces away, and they were about to crash into the Wei army's iron array.

"I want to consume my Ma Chao's descendants in vain, hmph, my Ma Chao is not so stupid......"

At the critical moment, Ma Chao snorted coldly and shouted: "Our army retreats, retreats to the main formation, retreats-"

In the roar, Ma Chao hurriedly turned his horse and passed in front of the Wei army, and the four thousand enemy cavalry immediately changed direction and passed twenty steps in front of the Wei army.

A collision that was imminent in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The Wei army secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even Li Mu's expression moved, revealing a bit of surprise.

On the earth mountain, Mao Dun, who saw this scene, suddenly his face was as gloomy as iron, and he gritted his teeth and scolded secretly: "This Ma Chao dares to have reservations, and he doesn't want to die for this order, but it's annoying-"
