Chapter 559: Battle of the Snow Field (Penultimate Moment)

Xue Chong looked into the distance.

The cavalry of both sides was fighting there, and the black belonging to the Tang army had slowly gained the upper hand, and he could see that the scattered black dots were converging into a trickling stream, which was an excellent signal, and then, this kind of local small victory would eventually be connected, and when the black torrent was fully formed, it was when the red Lu Long army was defeated on all fronts.

Therefore, Deng Jingshan can't afford to wait.

"Fifth uncle, this is our chance for Zuo Jin Wuwei to correct his name." He turned his head and looked at Xue Jian beside him.

Xue nodded vigorously.

"The Xue clan will be carried forward by us in the future." Xue Chong continued.

The Xue clan is now almost divided into three branches.

One is Xue Chong, Xue Jian's branch, Xue Chong now thinks that he is the follower of Prime Minister Li Ze, but he has not yet been recognized by Li Ze's lineage, and the two sides are far from trusting each other, which requires long-term efforts to get a good result.

The second branch is Xue Ping, who belongs to a typical royalist faction, in Xue Chong's view, Xue Ping can still live in peace with Li Ze now, but at some point in time in the future, he will inevitably turn his face.

And the third branch is Xue Xiong, who took refuge in Zhu Wen and is now serving in Pseudo-Liang, so there is nothing to say about this one. When we meet in the future, we will definitely see each other with swords and soldiers, and we will never die.

When you meet other enemies, you may still have a chance to reconcile, but when you meet Xue Xiong, you may not even have that.

Xue Chong looked left and right, and the Xue clan was the only one that could be regarded as promising.

Xue Jian was a little gloomy, but he also had to admit it. Originally, their branch was the descendant of the Xue family, but in the future, I am afraid that it will be Xue Chong's branch to support the lintel of the Xue family.

"Li Xiang regards me as his heart, and handed over an important place like Zhuozhou Youzhou to me to station, and he should be treated equally with his descendants, and at this moment, it is time for us to repay him!" Xue Chong's eyes became fierce, "Fifth Uncle, in this battle, we have advanced without retreating, defeated Deng Jingshan, and won the final victory, not only for Li Xiang, but also for ourselves." ”

"The Xue clan will definitely be carried forward in our hands." Xue Jian also nodded vigorously. "General, I'm going."

"Front, I'll hand it over to the fifth uncle."

Xue Jian turned over his horse, left the location of the Chinese army, and galloped towards the forward position in front.

The drums of war on both sides were deafening, and a battle of infantry on both sides, in which nearly 40,000 men were gathered, was soon opened.

Deng Jingshan is Zhang Zhongwu's descendant troops, and his army is not equipped at all, even if it is not as good as Zuo Jin Wuwei in front of him, but the difference is not too big. And the combat effectiveness of the entire infantry is only afraid that it is stronger than Zuo Jin Wuwei. This is a force that has been fighting all the time.

If we want to talk about their weakness, it is that their physical strength has been affected by long-distance travel, and Zuojin Wuwei, who arrived in advance, has abundant physical strength, and has taken the lead in occupying a favorable terrain and building a position that can be relied on.

The best ranged weapon on both sides was the crossbow, a big thing like a trebuchet, which neither army carried this time. Even if it's a strong crossbow, there aren't too many. More often than not, relying on ordinary arrows.

In this regard, Zuo Jin Wuwei occupies an absolute advantage.

Lu Longjun archers, this is the precipitation of a veteran powerhouse for many years.

Zuo Jinwu is a crossbow archer many.

The biggest advantage of crossbow archers is that they do not waste physical strength, as long as there is enough time and enough space, they can shoot all the time. And even the best archer, if he shoots ten arrows in a row, he is afraid that his arms will be sore, and it will be difficult to pull a strong bow again.

It's not that Lu Longjun doesn't know the advantages of crossbow arrows, but to equip such a bow and crossbow, you need silver. The Lu Long Army can make a crossbow, but it just can't come up with so much money to make a more expensive crossbow.

One attacked, one defended, one was a mourning soldier to fight, and the other was full of confidence that victory was in sight. All kinds of differences, but the combat effectiveness of the two sides has been pulled to the same level, and this battle, there is no fancy to speak of, it is a competition to see who can hold the last breath.

In the sound of drums, one by one, the phalanx of Lu Longjun's foot soldiers advanced, walking in the front, behind the rows of shields, the giant shield in front, forming a shield wall, and the back held the shield above the head, although the advance was slow, but it was impermeable, walking dozens of steps, it would pause for a moment to rectify the queue.

More than a dozen phalanxes attacked at the same time, and from a high vantage point, it looked like huge solid rocks rolling on the ground, which was extremely shocking.

On the ridges on both sides, there was silence except for the sound of drums and the military flags that hunted in the wind.

Approach, approach.

On the top of the mountain beam, the sound of drums suddenly rose high, and immediately, a powerful crossbow burst through the air with a sharp whistling. With a bang, one of the Lu Longjun giant shieldmen in the center of the most prominent one.

With a thud, the shield burst through a gaping hole, and the bolts tore through the man's armor and plunged deep into the shield-wielding soldier's chest.

But that's about it.

A strong crossbow only takes one life, so it is naturally a loss.

But this is nothing more than a marked crossbow arrow.

With the hit of this crossbow arrow, the sound of screaming immediately rose and fell, and hundreds of crossbow arrows shot down from the mountain beams on both sides, tearing the neat military formation open one by one.

In the large battlefield of tens of thousands of people, there are only hundreds of strong crossbows in a salvo, and it is obvious that Zuo Jin Wuwei is extremely insufficient in terms of heavy weapons.

Under the mountain beam, the airtight military formation took the initiative to crack one after another, and one after another ballista was pushed out of the military formation, and they obviously had more strong crossbows than on the mountain.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired towards the mountain beam, and before one wave could land, the second wave had already been shot again.

Shooting from the top down naturally has a geographical advantage, while the crossbow arrows shot from the bottom of the mountain are shot to the highest point and then turn down, falling like rain. The use of a strong crossbow in this way has actually weakened the power of powerful crossbow arrows to the extreme.

"Scatter!" With Officer Lu Long's order, the tight military formation of Lu Long's army dispersed violently.

"Attack!" After another order, Lu Longjun, who had dispersed, rushed towards the mountain with a shout.

With a buzz, a black patch flew above the mountain beams on both sides, which were crossbow arrows fired by dense crossbow machines.

The shield was held above his head, like rain hitting a plantain, tinkling and clanging, and the feathered arrows like flying locusts on the mountain beam attacked, and Lu Longjun bowed and ran upward.

From time to time, someone will be hit by countless arrows because of poor protection or exposing their bodies in the process of running.

From time to time, people fall down on the way forward.

The higher it goes, the narrower the attack surface becomes, which also makes the originally scattered formation begin to dense again. The higher the formation, the thicker it becomes.

At this time, the crossbow bolt suddenly stopped.

Lu Longjun took advantage of this rare gap, put away his shield, and ran faster and faster.

Only the experienced officers sensed the odds.

There was a strange shouting sound in my ears.

Then they looked up and saw huge snowballs on the mountain beam, and the sound of the trumpet just now was the Zuo Jinwu soldiers on the mountain beam who were working together to push these giant snowballs forward.

"Be careful!" Before the shouts of the officers could land, countless huge snowballs rolled down from above.

The snow is soft.

But the snow is gathered together to form such snowballs, which are then watered and solidified early, and then wrapped in layers of snow, and so on, and so on, each of these snowballs weighs hundreds of pounds, and is no less solid than a stone.

Hundreds of these snowballs covered almost the entire attack surface, and as they rolled, the snow on the ridges of the mountain was constantly wrapped up on top of the snowballs, making them larger and larger. They collided with each other, some of them soaring into the air, and when they fell heavily to the ground, the snowflakes wrapped outside fell, but then they were covered with more snowflakes.

The soldiers of the Lu Long Army stopped and stared blankly at the snowballs that rumbled and rolled down.

There is nowhere to hide.

There is nowhere to retreat.

The soldier at the front screamed and thrust his shield into the ground, then crouched down and pressed all his strength against the snowballs.

But when the snowballs slammed into them, their strength seemed so insignificant, that at the touch of them, they were immediately overwhelmed, and the snowballs tripped over the fallen man, jumped up, and fell heavily.

Snowballs swept across the entire attack surface.

What's even more terrifying is that some of the Lulong soldiers were also embedded in these snowballs and became part of the snowballs.

The rumbling sound was incessant, and the first attacking soldiers were almost swept away.

Those soldiers who were lucky enough to escape because of the snowball rising into the air were also stunned at the moment, and the attack of thousands of people was actually swept away by the snow.

Before they could wake up from the shock, the whizzing crossbow arrows had left them on the hillside forever.

Deng Jingshan's hands trembled slightly, he never thought that there would be such an attack.

On the mountain, Xue Jian danced happily and patted an officer next to him on the shoulder, "Well done, well done, how did you come up with such an idea?" ”

This famous general is very young, and when he was praised by Xue Jian, he still looked a little shy, "General Xue, when we were in Daqing Mountain, sometimes we often rolled snowballs like this, and the snowballs were not big when they rolled down from the top of the mountain, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, they had already become a behemoth, and I had seen the trees the thickness of the sea bowl knocked down by them, so I knew that the snow that didn't look lethal was used properly, as long as it was used properly, it could also become a magic weapon to defeat the enemy." ”

"Life is full of learning!" Xue Jian sighed: "It's a pity, we can only use this kind of attack once, and there is no extra snow on this mountain beam." ”

"One time is enough!" The officer laughed and said, "The enemy has lost his courage!" ”
