Chapter 327: Untitled
In less than two hours, all the 5,000 cavalry of the Yuan army were killed, while the Youzhou army was killed more than 400 people, and more than 300 were lightly and seriously wounded.
If we just look at this battle loss ratio, we can definitely say that the Youzhou Army has an absolute advantage, but the account can't be counted like this, because the next battle will be even more brutal, and the time has come to see the real chapter.
The reason why there is such a huge battle loss ratio is because the Yuan cavalry did not focus all their energy on shooting the living force of the Youzhou army, most of the Yuan cavalry did not even wear bows and arrows, they were very clear about their duties and tasks, they needed to spend all their energy on the matter of impacting the horse and clearing the barricades, they were racing against time, they were trying to use their lives to open a way for the follow-up troops.
There is already a smooth road in front of the gourd, which means that the next battle will be dominated by hand-to-hand combat.
Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang were already on the verge of splitting at this time, after all, it was 5,000 cavalrymen who died in the battle, and the manpower and material resources needed to train them were simply astronomical, but they were all wiped out in two hours, how could this not make the two of them angry.
Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang saw that the road was finally opened, so they wanted to lead the troops to kill directly to Hulukou.
The judge, who could go out with the army as a superintendent, stopped them with his words, and the judge shouted at the two: "You guys stop me!" β
The two of them were slightly stunned when they heard this, they never expected that the trial would talk to them in such a tone, he was not Yuan Tan, he didn't have the prestige and ability of Yuan Tan, don't look at Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang who are polite to the trial on weekdays, but Lu Xiang and the others are really not afraid of him.
The two frowned, turned to look at the trial, and the two wanted to see what kind of madness he was smoking?
The judge sighed helplessly, and then said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "Don't send it to death, the Youzhou generals are quite brave, and you are not their opponents." β
Out of kindness, the judge deliberately reminded them.
Lu Xiang is a stubborn temper, he is already angry, but after hearing this, he feels that he has been looked down upon.
Lu Kuang snorted coldly with disdain, still going his own way, preparing to lead the troops with Lu Xiang to charge towards the gourd, he really didn't take the trial in his eyes.
At this critical moment, Zhang He rode over, and he yelled at Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang with an angry face, "What are you going to do? β
When Lu Kuang and the others heard this, they immediately wilted, and the two of them told Zhang He what they thought, and then they stiffened their necks and posed: "What's the matter, what did I do wrong?" Expression.
Zhang He snorted heavily and said: "The generals of Youzhou are all enemies, you are not their opponents, give me peace of mind to stay in the Chinese army, and you are not allowed to go to the front line!" β
Zhang He seemed to reprimand his little brother, and after counting Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, he beat his horse and left.
Only the three people of Trial, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were left messy in the wind.
To say that this Zhang He is really not simple, Zhang He followed Yuan Shao's southern expedition to the north, and made great contributions to his achievements, he is one of the four court pillars in Hebei, and has a pivotal position under Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao once said to Zhang He and the four of them:
"Jizhou is pacified, you and others are in the majority, I and you are like a car, your body has arms, and you are four above the generals."
Sitingzhu is the head of the generals of the Yuan army, and this sentence is enough to explain Zhang He's status in the Yuan army.
Therefore, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang could not ignore the words of the trial, or even give face to the trial, but the two did not dare to disobey Zhang He's words, let alone save Zhang He's face, because people's face was fought after one fierce battle.
He knew that now was not the time for infighting, he suppressed the anger in his heart, squeezed out a smile, waved his hand at Lu Xiang and the two, and signaled that the two could leave on their own.
LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang made a symbolic salute, and then each returned to his own army, directing the Yuan soldiers to launch a tidal attack on Hulukou.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock......
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woowoowoowoooo......oo
The drums of war are sounding, the trumpets are sounding!
It heralded the beginning of a new offensive of Yuan's army.
Under the command of Zhang He and others, the soldiers of the Yuan army marched towards the mouth of the gourd with shields in hand.
When Yuan's army reached the range of the Liaodong crossbow, the crossbow bolts in the sky were already pouring towards it.
Although the Liaodong crossbow is powerful and penetrating, it is only for armor, and the shield's defensive ability is at least one or two levels higher than that of armor.
Although the soldiers of the Yuan army also suffered casualties, the casualties were much smaller than those of the previous cavalry, and after paying the lives of nearly a thousand soldiers, the soldiers of the Yuan army finally broke through the second line of defense of the Youzhou army.
The soldiers of the Yuan army rushed into the people, threw away the infantry shield in their hands, raised their steel knives and spears, and launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Youzhou army.
The reason why I had to throw away the giant shield was because that thing was too heavy, and its role was only to resist the Liaodong crossbow arrows and escort the warriors into the crowd of the Youzhou army.
There is not much time left for the Yuan army, they don't have time to talk to the Youzhou army about tactics and play routines, they now want to exchange their lives with the Youzhou soldiers stationed in the gourd's mouth, so as to consume the living force of the Youzhou army in the gourd's mouth, until they successfully kill Li Yang.
Waving his slightly sore arm, Li Yang slowly retreated to the rear, he continued to do the action of opening the bow and arrows while retreating, only this one and a half hours of effort, the Yuan soldiers who died under his arrows are afraid that there are no less than two hundred people, during this period, Li Yang pulled the bow at least seven or eight hundred times, and his hit rate is also declining with the increase in the number of times the bow is drawn.
The reason why the hit rate has decreased is because his arm has become a little sore, and the reason why the Yuan army's infantry raised their shields cannot be completely said to be a drop in hit rate. It would be more appropriate to say that his kill success rate has dropped.
Even though Li Yang is extremely brave, he is pulling a two-stone bow.
What is the concept of a two-stone bow? To put it bluntly, it takes the power of two stones to pull the bow apart, and how much is two stones? If you use a modern unit of measurement to convert, it should be about one hundred and thirty catties.
Li Yang repeatedly pulled the bow hundreds of times, and it was strange that his arm was not sore.
Let's complain here, some works often appear in some works with some five-stone bows, for this, I admire it very much!
During the Han Dynasty, one stone was about 31 kilograms of later generations, five stones were about 150 kilograms, and 300 catties of bows and arrows could still be commanded by their arms in their hands.
