"The cavalry of the Wei army is finally here!" Cheng Yanjin was relieved to see that the Wei cavalry had indeed appeared, and it seemed that it was not as expected by the King of Zhou, Li Mi would definitely not tolerate his own side to occupy Beibi Town all the time, and form a rough angle with Jindi Pass, so that when they attacked Jindi Pass, they would be worried that the Zhou army in Beibi Town would launch a surprise attack from behind. Therefore, he will do whatever it takes to pull out this thorn in his eye. And what he needs to do is to take advantage of this mentality of the Wei army, consume their strength and sharpness here, and buy time for his own army's counterattack.

It's just that Cheng Yanjin didn't expect that the Wei army didn't attack with the main force. Judging from the strength of this wave of Wei troops, only 10,000 cavalry should have been sent to attack. This shows that the chief general of the Wei army is a cautious person and is not easy to deal with. This offensive should also be only a tentative attack.

Cheng Yanjin looked back at his soldiers, only to see that their faces showed a look of nervousness, and their faces were grim.

He smiled slightly, thinking that this was also normal. After all, many of the soldiers of the Zhou army went to the Central Plains for the first time to participate in the war, and it was also the first time they fought against the Wei army, so it was impossible for them not to be nervous at all. Even he, a veteran who has experienced many battles, is a little nervous. After all, it was his first time as a commander, and he was fighting against an opponent he had never fought before.

However, Cheng Yanjin knows that as a main general, no matter how nervous he is, he can't show it on his face. Give your subordinates a sense of confidence, otherwise they will shake the determination of their soldiers to win and the will to fight hard

"Pass the order, and the whole army will enter the state of battle! Trebuchet ready! Cheng Yanjin ordered.

Immediately, the trebuchetman, who was standing not far in front of him, immediately moved pieces of cobblestone the size of a watermelon from the ground to the trebuchet's big spoon.

After arriving at the battlefield, Jia Xiong did not immediately charge, but asked his cavalry to temporarily stop and rest for a while to recuperate their horsepower.

After about a meal, he saw that his subordinates had almost recuperated, Fang raised the spear in his hand and shouted hoarsely: "Warriors of the Wagang Army! Rush forward with me! We must kill all these enemies in front of us! Victory belongs to our Great Wei!

Behind him, the 10,000 cavalry of the Wei army, all dressed in armor and armed with sharp spears, were strong and strong, and looked fierce. These Wei cavalry were also selected, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong.

Mounted on their horses, they raised their spears and shouted loudly, roaring like wild bears.

After the morale of his subordinates was up, Jia Xiongfang pointed his spear forward and shouted: "Sons, the whole army is assaulted!" ”

With that, he took the lead in raising his spear, and rushed forward with his horse.

The cavalry of the 10,000 Wagang Army followed behind him, and the momentum was like grandeur.

They rushed towards the Zhou army column that was waiting in front of them, and the momentum was huge.

Jia Xiong was also full of confidence, but he knew that the trebuchet would have to wait a while before launching a second round of stones. Although the archer shoots more frequently, it will cause some casualties to your side. But his soldiers were all in iron armor and very well equipped, and they only needed to dodge two rounds of fire at high speed to rush into the enemy array. When the time comes, the enemy will be at his own mercy.

How can there be a reason for immortals to fight. But as long as these brave cavalrymen of the Wagang Army are killed in the ranks of the Zhou army, it is enough to cut off their heads with sabers!

It's a big deal!

Jia Xiong brandished his spear and shouted and rushed forward, and the momentum of more than 10,000 horses galloping forward together was still very magnificent. At this time, the Wei cavalry had already taken their spears and sabers out of the hooks......

Now that he was getting closer and closer to the infantry queue of the Zhou army in front of him, Jia Xiong could vaguely see the Zhou infantry holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, looking nervously at the warriors of the Wagang Army who rushed over.

At this time, the lookout post of the Zhou army on the high platform at the head of the town had already reported to Cheng Yanjinyu: "General Cheng, the enemy army has entered the range of the trebuchet!" ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yanjin nodded, and then waved his hand violently: "Listen to my order to launch the cobblestone!" ”

With his order, all the trebuchet hands immediately loosened the rubber band, and saw that the trebuchet spoon, which had already been ready to go, immediately ejected towards the hanging frame with a "peng......

Just listen to "Knock! Boom! Boom! The loud bang. From the sky above the Zhou army's trebuchet position, several cobblestones the size of watermelons flew over. With a burst of whistling sounds, he fell towards the Wei cavalry, which was densely packed together and charging towards the Zhou army.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

The boulders continued to fall on the bodies of the Wei cavalry, instantly smashing them to broken tendons and fractures, and the screams came and went.

Wei Jun, who was hit in the head, directly burst his brain, fell off his horse, and was then trampled into a pulp by his comrades who followed behind.

And those Wei cavalry, who were not killed on the spot, but were only smashed in the shoulders and waist legs, were not having a good time. After they were wounded, their progress slowed down involuntarily. As a result, they were hit by the cavalry following behind, and they both fell off their horses together. It makes the scene chaotic.

It was the first time that the Wei soldiers had encountered such a fierce boulder bombardment, and not only were there many of them, but the launch interval was also fast, which caught them off guard. The originally complete formation suddenly became chaotic, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not find the soldiers. Some officers and men even collided with each other, making them dizzy and unable to know the direction. The momentum of the cavalry charge of the whole regiment immediately slowed down.

Seeing his subordinate soldiers being smashed by this boulder attack, he was at a loss. Jia Xiong was furious. He raised his spear and shouted, "Rush forward with all your might!" Zhou Jun's trebuchet could not be fired continuously, and there would be a pause every time it was fired! If we rush into their ranks, we'll kill them! ”

Under his desperate shouts, Wei Jun finally calmed down. After all, they are an elite division that has been fighting for a long time, and after the initial panic, they have regrouped and continued to sprint forward!

Fifty zhang!

The Wei cavalry had already taken off the short bow behind their backs in a uniform manner, and as long as they advanced another twenty zhang, they could fire bows and arrows.

Jia Xiong was also ecstatic in his heart, secretly thinking that as long as he led these elite cavalry of his and rushed into the array of the Zhou army, he would definitely be able to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.

At this moment, the archer commander beside Cheng Yanjin hurriedly reported to him: "General Cheng, the Wei army has entered the range of our army's bow and arrow!" ”

The Zhou army was an infantry, using all longbows, while the Wei army was cavalry, in order to make it easy to carry, they all used short bows, but the range of the longbow was fifty zhang, and the range of the short bow was only ten zhang, so the Zhou army naturally took a lot of advantage in the bow and arrow shooting.

After listening to the archer commander's questioning at this time, Cheng Yanjin said with a big mouth: "Do you still need to report this to me?" You're going to do it right away! Duan Strike Shooting is a subject ordered by King Zhou to conduct many trainings! You just have to show your usual training form! ”

When the commander heard this, Fang immediately ordered: "The first row of archers aim at the enemy and shoot diagonally!" The second row of archers prepares! ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

With an order from the leading officer, the first row of archers immediately fired a volley of sharp arrows.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”

From behind the spears and shields of the Zhou army, countless sharp arrows immediately rose into the air like dark clouds, and then flew densely towards the Wei cavalry who rushed forward, the tips of the arrows flashed with cold light, and the flight speed was fast.

"Poof, poof!"

"Ouch! Ah! ”

In an instant, the sound of arrows hitting the flesh sounded on the battlefield, and the Wei cavalry immediately fell to the ground one after another.

Although they all wore fine iron armor, they were not heavy armor after all. And they're all moving at high speed, so oncoming arrows can easily pierce their armor and take their lives.

The Wei cavalry was shot down by this round of fire, and more than 1,000 people were killed in an instant, and the casualties were more than those of the trebuchet's cobblestone attacks before, which made them also take a big startle.

When he was hesitating whether to continue to rush forward, Cheng Yanjin issued another command to continue shooting: "The second row of archers release their arrows!" The first row of archers aim! The first row of archers is ready to load their arrows! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”

The second row of archers of the Zhou army shot another row of dense wolf's tooth arrows, and suddenly many Wei soldiers fell off their horses and died in the open ground in front of Beibi Town.

"Why are the enemy's arrows so dense? And there is almost no simple separation between two rounds of archery?! The Wei cavalry was a little panicked.

However, at this time, they had already rushed to a distance of only more than twenty zhang from the Zhou army's infantry array.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, they will release arrows, and so will we! Everyone also take out the short bow and shoot back at the enemy! Jia Xiong shouted loudly.

The Wei cavalry finally calmed down again, and then continued to rush forward, drawing arrows and firing back as they charged. It's just that their archery skills can't be compared with those cavalry born on the grassland, the accuracy is very poor, and the front array of the Zhou army is all shield soldiers, and they can easily block most of the arrows when they raise a large iron shield one person high. Therefore, the counterattack of the Wei cavalry had little effect.

At this time, the trebuchets of the Zhou army were still firing cobblestones, and the archers were also shooting sharp arrows. After suffering heavy casualties, the Wei cavalry finally advanced to a distance of only ten zhang from the front of the Zhou army.

They had already entered a high-speed sprint, brandishing the broadswords and spears in their hands, howling in an attempt to enter the ranks of the Zhou army and avenge their comrades. And according to the sprint speed of the Wei cavalry, it only takes a cup of tea to rush into the array of the Zhou army.

However, at this time, Jia Xiong finally noticed that there was something strange ahead......
