Faced with the constantly flying arrows and the situation that he could not advance, Yan Liang was anxious, and he asked the guards on the side to hold their shields so that they could check the battle situation by themselves.

"This thing is very similar to rejecting horses, but it is much more troublesome than rejecting horses, fast, the shield is forward, the halberd is behind, pull away these rejecting horses!"

There were still a large number of halberds in the army at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the halberd was a weapon that could be pulled and pushed because of its small branches, Guo Jin saw that Yan Liangjun on the opposite side formed a shield array, and then stretched out countless halberds from the shield array, and began to pull the barbed wire array arranged by himself, so he knew the idea of the opposite side.

"The convoy of ballistae is coming! Fire oil bombs! After the shield is broken, the rest of the bows and crossbows are fired! ”

Several ballistas were pulled forward, and the sergeant on the cart began to adjust the angle.

Ma Qiang came from Huaxia, a later generation with a phobia of firepower, and after settling down in the plains, he naturally favored the ancient cannon of the ballista, and began to study and build it.

There are not many ballistae in Guo Jin's camp, only five, and these five ballistas need nearly 100 people to serve, which can be regarded as an ancient artillery unit.

"The angle is 13 degrees west-north, up three degrees, reload fire and oil bombs! Shoot with all your might! ”

The biggest difference between the ballistas in Ma Qiang's army and other Han army ballistas is probably that in addition to being able to shoot arrows, they can also shoot all kinds of strange things, which Ma Qiang learned from Western ballistas.

With an order, I saw five black spherical objects flying towards Yan Liang's shield array, and then smashed into the shield.

Yan Liang saw the clay pot thrown from the opposite side, and there was a strange smell after the clay pot was smashed open, and his intuition made him feel wrong.

did not disappoint Yan Liang, as a rocket flew in, the shield in the hand of the shield soldier in front of him suddenly turned into a fire card.

Even some of the shield soldiers were stained with fire oil and rolled on the ground.

As soon as the shield broke, the crossbowmen who had been preparing for a long time shot arrows quickly, and dozens of people were shot to the ground in an instant.

"Withdraw!"

It was not Yan Liang who shouted for the withdrawal, but Guo Jin.

Guo Jin held the binoculars and could see more details of the battlefield, and he found that although some shields were burned by fire oil, there were also many sergeants in Yan Liang's army who braved the sea of fire and arrows to open the barbed wire array.

The Han army is brave and not afraid of life and death!

Guo Jin was not prepared to engage Yan Liang in a short battle, he knew that there were nearly 10,000 people on the opposite side, and if he was entangled, then the county would not be able to defend it.

When Yan Hao finally stabilized his position and prepared to counterattack, he saw that the plain army on the opposite side had already broken his legs and ran away.

"Dog thief!! Don't run! Dog thief!! ”

Yan Liang was about to go crazy.

This one crossed the river, and three or four hundred people died on his side, and there were not a few broken skins on the other side.

Finally, they were able to meet each other in close combat, and these people actually ran away!

Yan Liang looked at the tragic situation of the sergeant who was burned alive in front of him, and felt that his chest was about to explode.

"Quick, let everyone cross the river, chase me!!"

After Jiang Qi learned the news, he hurriedly said, "It seems that Pingyuan has already gotten the news and has been prepared, let's wait for Ming Gong to come, and then attack Banxian." ”

"A small county can't be defeated, how can we follow Ming Gong to dominate the world?"

Yan Liang took the war horse sent by the sergeant on the side, turned around and shouted, "If there are still things below, come with me, if you are afraid, stay here and wait for Ming Gong!" ”

When Yan Liang said this, who was willing to stay, they shouted to fight, and they were really unconvinced, thinking that the Plains Army was relying on the geographical advantage, and if they fought face-to-face, it was not certain who would win and who would lose.

Yan Liang asked Jiang Qi to garrison the ferry with 300 people, and then led the remaining 2,000 people to attack Banxian.

The county seat of Banxian County is very close to the Maji River, and the river can be seen from afar in the county seat, so when Guo Jin withdrew his troops and returned to the city, Yan Liang killed the city.

Yan Liang came in a hurry, didn't bring anything, looking at the dense archers on the city wall, he could only scold under the city, Guo Jin stood on the city wall, snorted, and smiled at Bai Zhen on the side, "So impatient, can you be a pioneer?" ”

"This Yan Liang is said to be also a famous family, it seems that these famous families have not encountered many setbacks, so once they encounter a little setback, they are irritable like thunder." Bai Zhen is also a native of Jizhou and has heard of the Yan family.

"Oh? Door? ”

The corners of Guo Jin's mouth rose slightly, what he wants to fight is a famous family!

Just like Lu Qingcheng was despised by the maids in Jixian County back then, over the years, although Guo Jin wore the hat of Ma Qiang's cronies, he was still ridiculed as a wild man by many children of the scholar clan.

"Is there any news from Ming Gong and Zhao Yunbu?"

"Ming Gong reported that he had led 5,000 people across the river to support, and as for Zhao Sima, there was no return yet."

River?

Guo Jin couldn't help laughing, it seems that the soil bun on the opposite side is unlucky.

That night, Yuan Shao led the main force to cross the river smoothly, looking at the captured barbed wire, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be amazed.

"I heard in Luoyang that this Ma Qiang is good at ink art, and it is really incredible that this steel can be pulled into such a filament like gold and silver."

Gao Yong hurriedly said on the side, "That's right, this Ma Qiang doesn't follow Confucianism, he only knows how to do business, and only the first emperor will use him!"

I also heard that he has set up an electric thing in all counties and townships, which is said to be able to transmit messages thousands of miles away. ”

There is no impermeable wall in this world, although Ma Qiang's telegram protects the secret, but there are still rumors of it slowly, although outsiders still don't understand what the telegram is, but they all vaguely know that Ma Qiang has a means to quickly obtain distant news.

"Zi said, the gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit, this Ma Qiang only knows businessmen and hundreds of workers, and does not understand the way of a gentleman, but he is just a villain!"

Yuan Shao looks down on Ma Qiang from the bottom of his bones, as the so-called the more he lacks something, the more he cares about something, Yuan Shao is a concubine, and he has been secretly ridiculed because of his identity since he was a child, so he attaches great importance to his background, and a wild man like Ma Qiang is now on an equal footing with him, which is unacceptable for him.

Not to mention Ma Qiang, even if he is a little Cao Cao, Yuan Shao can't accept that he will be on an equal footing with himself one day.

"Order all departments to build ordnance overnight and attack the city tomorrow morning!"

Yuan Shao issued a military order to Feng Ji behind him, and Gao Yong hurriedly said, "The army has just arrived, why don't you trim it up, I have already contacted the county elders and are preparing to comfort the army!" ”

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Although Ma Qiang is just a villain, he has also experienced battles, I think he is now gathering troops and horses to pounce on us, Banxian is only two or three days away from the plain, and we don't have much time." ”

Seeing that Gao Yong was a little worried, Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Xinqing, don't worry, I have asked Wen Chou to lead 2,000 people to Xichangping to block the road of Ma Qiang's help, Banxian, I am bound to win!" ”
