Chapter 308. Break through the middle
The gap between political stability and political chaos is directly reflected in the combat effectiveness of the army! A more direct embodiment is the arrow!
River Left Battlefield! Although there are only 8,000 soldiers and horses, plus Taishan archers, Le Jin has 4,000 archers, and the rain of arrows shot is enough to cover the narrow shoals of the Zhanghe River! What's even worse is that Cao Jun's bows and arrows are endless!
After the coal mine and iron ore of Funiu Mountain became large-scale, the cost of steel arrows fell more than twice as much as before, and this time to the north, the number of arrows carried by Cao's army exceeded five million, although oh flat to the head of the archer, one person was only five hundred arrows, compared to the tens of thousands of bullet reserves per capita on the battlefield in the later world, it is not worth mentioning, but in this era, it is already rich.
And just like Sulena, the famous general of the Resting Empire who fought against Crassus, one of the former three giants of Rome, on the battlefield of Laika, Wang Hou used all the horses he could mobilize to transport arrows from the camp, and baskets of arrows were continuously carried up the hillside by the people.
This time, the archers of the Cao army are also **, no matter if you assault on the battlefield with 100 people or 10,000 people, Lao Tzu will shoot! The four teams of archers took turns bowing forward, and the rotation could also play a role in resting, and in half an hour, Yuan Jun organized more than a dozen assaults, all of which were shot back by this money-free arrow.
No moves, the Roman legions played heavy square shields, wore heavy lobster armor, and the 40,000 heavy infantry in the Battle of Calais could be shot to collapse under the harassment of the bows and arrows of the rest archers, not to mention the civil strife for more than a year, the army has experienced many battles without changing its clothes, the old armor, the lack of long-range counterattack capabilities, let them be killed and wounded in the shallows on the left side of the river, and the cold shallow water was dyed red.
The progress of the cavalry on the right wing of the Yuan army was not much better, although the cavalry fought the infantry, but in these years, the lack of stirrups and high bridge saddles has reduced the cavalry's ability to attack the formation, and in terms of physical strength, the two sides are not at the same level.
In the long run, the Yuan army had just experienced the battle of Nanpi, the Yuan brothers were cannibalistic, and they withdrew directly from the battlefield without distinguishing the winner, and they hurriedly supported their own nest, while the Cao army set out from Xuchang and spent most of the time under Yecheng, which belonged to waiting for work.
Closer, since the latest raid on the camp of the Liangzhou coalition army in Guanzhong, for two and a half hours, Yuan Jun has been assembling and mobilizing, and he still got up hungry in the early morning, but Cao Jun, relying on his teammates to go up and sell, finally rested for about twenty minutes, especially when they also ate a precious high-calorie breakfast!
Another point, even if several units are temporarily pinched together, Zhang He's subordinates are all under the age of thirty-five, either young men or thirty-year-old prime-aged people, and they have an advantage over veterans in terms of physical strength.
Later generations shouted loudly, one Lu two Zhao three Dian Wei! Give the famous general's force value to a ranking, but now, Wang Hou doesn't believe in this ranking, at least the performance of Ma Yan, who is unknown in history, makes Wang Hou feel extraordinarily double-eyed, leading the cavalry, he really took the lead, holding a big knife, and took the lead in attacking the Cao army's army several times, the madman at least slashed and injured dozens of Cao Jun's people, and once even broke into Zhang He's side not far away, that martial arts and bravery, Wang Hou felt that even if Zhao Yun went, he might not be much stronger than him.
However, there is a saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there is no advantage in equipment and physical strength, and the morale has not reached an overwhelming advantage, and the right side has been fighting for nearly half an hour, but there is still no inch!
The battle was anxious, not only the Yuan army on the other side was anxious, but the Cao army was also extremely anxious, even Zhang Liao seemed to be a little out of breath, holding the telescope from Wang Hou's hand, he couldn't help but look at the battlefield on the right side of the Yuan army and the left side of the Cao army.
Seeing that once again, the Hebei cavalry was eroded into Zhang He's infantry formation like the big waves slapping the mud and sand, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly came to Wang Hou's body, knelt on one knee with his fists clenched, and pleaded heavily.
"State pastor, the Mayan Department has become a tired division! Please give the order to attack! Even if only one regiment of Qingzhou cavalry is given to the last general, the last general is sure to kill him and retreat! ”
"If it continues to be consumed like this, it will only be a waste of our soldiers, Zhou Mu, attack!"
In the past, in the company, the big leader was kind to several managers, and he simply ignored a small soldier like himself, and many times directly ignored it, Wang Hou was still angry at that time, but now that he is a leader, he understands what is going on!
Unlike Han Zhang, he has to rely on middle and high-level backbones like Zhang Liao to seize the market for him! didn't play it at all, he had no choice but to reach out and pull Zhang Liao up, and handed the telescope to him, and finally sold it a little.
"General Zhang, you can see for yourself, and then you can see it!"
It is estimated that Yuan Shang really can't imagine that there is such a bully as Clairvoyant! Coincidentally, when Zhang Liao raised the telescope suddenly, another color flag flew past his eyes, and he stared at him in amazement for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the Hanjia Bridge, which was almost forgotten.
The rugged old face twitched sharply, and Zhang Liao pointed his finger on the bridge in some astonishment.
"State Shepherd!"
This forced pretending is just right, this time, holding the binoculars, Wang Hou is smiling and silent.
…………
The fierce battle continued, on the battlefield on the left side of the river, the bow and arrow array of the Cao army seemed to be endless, even the warriors of the Yuan army who had assaulted the rain of arrows could not get the advantage in the hands of Le Jin, who was waiting in front of the low slope, and the cavalry of the right army also organized several large-scale raids, and they also couldn't open the gap of Zhang He, seeing that the old soldiers of the Yuan army were getting more and more tired and demoralized, Yuan Shang, who had endured for a morning, finally gave it a go!
Whoosh~whoosh~
Suddenly, in the upper reaches of the Hanjia Bridge, more than a dozen people came out of the water, taking advantage of the fact that the bowstring in their hands had not yet been softened, and suddenly put an arrow in their hands, and shot at the Cao Jun veteran who was standing or squatting in the scattered, poking his head there and looking at the battlefield, and then pulled out his knife and rushed up.
Caught off guard, the sudden rain of arrows killed a few people, turned around suddenly, these Hebei Jing soldiers rushed to the front again, raised their knives, and the troops guarding the bridge were seven times more, but it was not the same kind of army, and a few old pawns who were close to each other did not wait for a reaction, and were directly cut down to the ground by the dead soldiers of the Yuan army who came from the raid.
Facing these Yuan Jun's blood-red eyes and fierce roar, the first reaction of these veterans who have been fighting for many years is not to fight, but to run away!
was already ready to go, seeing that the dead soldiers were rushing to disrupt the Cao army's bridge guarding troops, suddenly there was a shout, and thousands of soldiers and horses seemed to appear out of thin air from the military camp on the other side of the Yuan Jun Bridge.
The old soldier of Cao Jun who was on the bridge was also very cowardly holding a spear while ping and ping-ponging, while retreating directly, but this kung fu, the dead soldiers of the Yuan army who had dispersed the defenders on the right side of the bridge once again screamed and slashed behind them, and after hacking a few people to death, this part of the army also collapsed!!
Suddenly, almost as if visible to the naked eye, the Cao army formation in the black part of the Hanjia Bridge was like the white snow in spring, melting and collapsing in an instant, and thousands of Cao Jun's old pawns turned around and ran back, and the dim yellow Yuan soldiers also quickly swelled up like soaked fungus.
The left and right armies were all unharmed, and the Cao army was the first to collapse!
