Chapter 853: Sunrise in the East (78)

The first rays of sunlight in the sky tore through the sky, sweeping away the haze that filled the air, but the earth-shattering shouts that were still echoing on the battlefield just now disappeared without a trace, only the painful groans of the wounded and undead remained, following the thousands of Qi troops behind more than a thousand death squads, staring at their front with wide eyes, in front of the opponent's position, thousands of daredevils, none of them could still stand, including their generals on the left bank.

The pace of progress came to an abrupt halt.

Left Bank's eyes were blood-red, and he staggered up from the ground, and the stormy crossbow arrows just now completely shrouded the soldiers who came with the prominence, and at the critical moment, the guards around him took a step forward and stopped in front of him, Rao is so, he is also wearing several arrows, the strength of the opponent's arrow crossbow is completely beyond his expectations, and the excellent armor can't stop the sharp arrow at all, deeply embedded in the flesh. Every time I move, I feel a sharp pain in my heart.

There was not a single soldier beside him, and behind him, thousands of follow-up troops were still hundreds of steps away from him, and he suddenly roared, raised his broadsword high, dragged one of his wounded legs, and advanced towards the opponent's position step by step.

Behind him, there was the exclamation of Qi Jun.

Cui Chengxiu sneered, stretched out his hand, took the arm crossbow from the warrior next to him, bent his left arm, put the arm crossbow on the bent left elbow, raised, and aimed.

"It's not easy for you to die? These words burst out of his mouth, and Cui Chengxiu did not hesitate to pull the trigger.~

With a whoosh, the bolt shot out, impartial, and hit the throat of the left bank, which was screaming wildly, and the left bank fell on its back, dead and blind, and as soon as he engaged, he died worthlessly at the hands of his despised opponent.

Is this a makeshift group of young people? In my last consciousness, Left Bank was thinking about it.

The way of death on the left bank aroused the anger of the Qi army behind him, and the sound of war drums. The Qi army shouted and rushed to the defense line of the Zhengdong Army, seeing the Qi army surging like a tide of anger, Cui Chengxiu laughed, their army's firm task is to block Tiandan's large army from entering Liaoxi, from the very beginning, Zhengdong Mansion has been preparing this plan, among this army, not to mention, the proportion of long-range attack weapons has reached a terrifying number, which is different from bows and arrows. Arm crossbow shooting does not require long-term training, a novice, as long as a little training, can pick up the arm crossbow shooting, although the shooting accuracy is not high, but the crossbow arrow has always been used for cover shooting. Qi Jun's wave after wave of dense formation attacks, looking at Cui Chengxiu, he just wanted to laugh out loud.

The Qi army had never had any experience in fighting with the large forces of the Eastern Army, and the opponents they had encountered before, whether it was Xiang Shenkang of Xinhui. It is still Zheng Xiaoyang of Langya County, and among the troops he is in, there are such a dense range of weapons.

The arms stretched out, and the whistling of the bed crossbow drowned out all sounds for the rest of the day. In particular, the arm-open crossbow, round after round, seemed endless, after cutting the Qi army like a leek. The anger of the Qi army was finally overwhelmed by the terrifying casualty figures, and they retreated like a tide as they had come. Only one corpse remained.

The first battle was a heavy setback, the general was killed on the spot on the left bank, and the unexpected defeat made the Qi army silent for a while, looking at the fortress positions all over the old site of Kunshan Pass, the disdain in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression. This enemy army doesn't seem to be as easy to deal with as it seems.

Tian Dan was naturally very angry in his heart, the death of the left bank did not make him heartbroken, but he was very annoyed in his heart This general, his own capital is abundant, fighting against the enemy, when he can be crushed in a dignified manner, there is no need to play any conspiracy at all, what kind of early morning raid, if it is broad daylight, it is clear that the chariots and horses will attack, how can he fall into the enemy's trap?

But now that the death of the Left Bank had demoralized a little low, Tiandan had to immediately reverse the situation so that all the generals could regain confidence in victory.

He looked up to the sky and laughed, facing a tent of stunned and inexplicable generals, Tian Dan smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is a group of young and strong recruits, it seems that the Zhengdong Mansion also knows that these soldiers are not able to fight at all, so they can only be equipped with such a dense range of weapons to make up for the lack of combat power, but the weapons are dead, people are alive, no matter how many crossbow arrows he uses in the Eastern Army, it is not invincible in the world and cannot be broken."

He paused and looked at the general under his tent: "Huo Si'an."

"The end will be! Huo Si'an strode out of the ranks, clenching his fists and obeying the order. He and Huo Siwei are two brothers, but although Huo Siwei is a younger brother, his rank is higher than him, and now he can lead an army and block alone.

"You led your troops and horses to attack, opened the way with heavy shields, and at the same time ordered the army craftsmen to fight the Mengchong chariots, cover the advance of the foot soldiers, advance to the opponent's position, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Make a way for me."

"The last general commands! Huo Si'an said loudly.

"Give you a day to prepare, and tomorrow, I'm going to see your attack."

"Don't worry, the last general will go back, and when the sun rises tomorrow, the last general will attack on time."

A day of waiting, or Tian Dan at this time didn't feel anything, but a lot of things really happened, for example, in the state of Chu, King Huai of Chu issued a mobilization order, and Qu Zhong began to send a letter of order to transfer troops to various places, and the army of Chu that had been sleeping for many years began to move, although I don't know how much combat strength they still have, but such a huge country, once mobilized, its strength is still amazing.

If the state of Chu moves, and Tian Dan is still snorted, if he doesn't think so, then at this time in the Cuiping Mountain in Liaoxi, the arrival of a cavalry is destined to be the beginning of Tian Dan's nightmare.

This cavalry consisted of only 6,000 men, and they were led by the infantry of the general under Gao Yuan, known as the Iron Foot General. And behind him, closely following them was the fifteenth thousand independent cavalry division of the Northern Field Army led by Gongsun Yi, Lolei.

Cuiping Mountain is already the territory of western Liaoning. This mountain is in the territory of Chima, and it is only two or three days away from Fufeng, and for the cavalry, it is only two or three days away, and at this time, Wei He, who knows nothing about it, is rushing towards Fufeng.

It was also on this day that the main army of the Eastern Army arrived at Liaoning Wei, where he rested for a while, and after supplementing, he began to cross Liaoningwei, walked into the mountains, and embarked on the way home, Kumamoto led 20,000 foot soldiers to stay in Helin, and sorted out the chaotic Donghu situation after the war, Sun Xiao did not come back, he was in charge of the Hetao as the protector of Liaodong, as well as all matters in the territory of the original Donghu.

Cui Chengxiu didn't know that this day could be regarded as an important node in the entire battle, and at this time, he was concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of him. A different general, a different style of play, but obviously, this opponent is much more difficult to deal with.

Layers of heavy shields for the forward, behind them, is a Mengchong car, around the mountain pass, the trees are luxuriant, the opponent cut down the trees on the spot, made a Mengchong car, the infantry hidden under the car, pushing the Mengchong car forward, their biggest reliance on the arm crossbow will lose its effect. The bed crossbow can shoot at these improvised cars that are not very strong, but the rate of fire is too slow to ease the opponent's attack.

"It's going to be hand-to-hand! Cui Chengxiu licked her lips and said murderously. However, his knife was not drawn at this time, but his eyes widened, and he watched his opponent advance step by step, until a certain point.

"Blow the trumpet! He screamed.

The poignant military horn suddenly sounded, the voice was high-pitched and sharp, and it went straight to the clouds, the Qi army didn't understand what this military horn meant, but the attack of the Eastern Army began at this moment.

The attack does not come from the enemy fortress in the distance in their eyes, but from their feet.

Almost in front of the layers of heavy shields, layers of turf were overturned, and one by one the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition suddenly jumped out of the ground, fiercely broke through the heavy shield array, and rushed directly into the Qi soldiers behind the heavy shield. These soldiers are carrying a clay bottle in their hands, containing grease inside, and the hand is raised, these clay bottles hit the Mengchong car, the bottle broke the oil, and then one rocket after another was fired, and in an instant, the Mengchong car was turned into a fire chariot, but the Qi soldiers in the fire chariot were not comfortable, when they fled from the car covered in fire, screaming and rolling on the ground, Cui Chengxiu had already led hundreds of soldiers out of the fortress to kill.

The lineup of the attack has been disturbed by the soldiers of the Eastern Army who suddenly came out of the ground at this time, and Cui Chengxiu's sudden counterattack time is very good, just when the opponent is the most chaotic, and the Qi army is in the front, and it is suddenly collapsed.

Cui Chengxiu chopped melons and vegetables to kill the enemy army in front of him, and in his busy schedule, he also looked up and glanced at Gao Chengdong's defense area on his left, the two of them deserved to be the parallel Shuangying of this issue of Jishi City Military University, and the method they came up with was amazingly consistent, just when Cui Chengxiu was killing and killing, Gao Chengdong was also leading the army to counterattack, and the tactics adopted were exactly the same as Cui Chengxiu.

Thanks to the Jishi City Military University for collecting almost all the military works in the world, there, the instructors carefully analyzed with the students the characteristics of the armies of various countries when fighting, the battle formations they like to use, the queues, the methods of attacking fortifications, etc., and let them each come up with a corresponding method to crack it.

Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong led the officers and soldiers who attacked, and the total number of people in the front and rear groups was only five or six hundred each, but their unexpected style of play achieved amazing results, and Huo Si'an's first attack ended in chaos and fled back in chaos.
