"Charge!"

On the grassland, two mighty armies stood opposite each other, one side was the Xianbei, Wuhuan and Southern Xiongnu with 600,000 iron horses, and the other side was the 100,000 Han army with strong soldiers and horses. Han Hu's hatred for so long is so deep that he doesn't need any conversation at all, Gongsun Chan shouted as soon as the army was assembled.

"Kill!"

In the same way, the Hu people are also bloody northern men, who have always been able to do it without forcing it, with the order of each family, the cavalry of the Hu people, under the leadership of their respective leaders, clearly charged forward in batches of 10,000 people.

A large number of people is not a good thing, after all, not everyone is like Han Xin who can command hundreds of thousands of troops like his fingers, and it is impossible for Helian to make such a low-level mistake even if he is a straw bag. Therefore, according to the consistent style of his subordinates, let the leaders of each tribe lead the clansmen under his command to attack in arrays.

Not only that, when the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu had scruples about each other, they agreed to form their own armies and attack from three sides to avoid problems of cooperation between each other. The front is led by the strongest Xianbei, Wuhuan on the left, and the Southern Xiongnu on the right, and they are clearly distinguished from each other.

Tian Yu sat in the rear, and when he saw the dense and countless Hu people in the distance, he was very excited. The moment I've been waiting for so long is finally coming!

Although Gongsun Zhan's army was a charge, it was actually slowly advancing with the chariot surrounded in the center as the core. After all, the number of people is lagging behind, and Gongsun Zhan, who has been fighting with the Hu people all year round, knows the importance of the military formation in this situation. This is not a small-scale battle, and the 600,000-strong army is not something that can be solved by leading Bai Mayi from a single charge.

And the Hu people have no scruples, and their tactics have been no tactics for many years. They have always focused on blitzkrieg and travelogues, and they have lost their advantage in mobility in the face of Gongsun Zhan, and now they can only rely on numbers to win.

"Whoever takes the head of Gongsun Zhan will be rewarded with thousands of gold, cattle and sheep! Promoted to three levels! He Lian, who was located in the rear, saw that the cavalry under his command in front of him was innumerable and mighty, and he was extremely excited to let the soldiers around him shout.

"Such a military appearance! How can you not win! After this battle, I should surpass my father and become the greatest Shan Yu in the history of Xianbei! Helian was extremely arrogant in his heart: "No! Not only that, but I also want to surpass the Huns, establish my own empire, and become the founding emperor! ”

Xianbei is different from the Xiongnu, the power is strong but the strength is far from it, so the talented Tanshi Huai learned the lesson of the defeat of the Xiongnu after unifying Xianbei, and has been absorbing some talented Han people, wanting to learn the advanced technology and culture of the Han people, and build a dynasty as powerful as the Han Dynasty. However, his unfortunate early death did not fulfill this wish, but Helian did remember it in his heart.

A full 600,000 troops galloped on the grassland, and the scene was simply spectacular, and the generals under the command of Gongsun Chan saw the seemingly endless Hu cavalry in their field of vision, and their hands trembled. Not panic, but excitement!

Soon, the army under the command of Gongsun Zhan maintained the formation and marched no more than a kilometer, and the Xianbei cavalry that took the lead was already almost in front of him.

"Kill!"

Tian Yu stared at Hu Qi in the distance, carefully calculated the distance between the two sides in his heart, and suddenly shouted after reaching a certain point.

The cavalry at the front of the array for concealment quickly withdrew to the sides, revealing thousands of crossbowmen behind them. Each holding an elite strong crossbow raised slightly, aiming at the Xianbei cavalry charging in front. At the same time, the cavalry on both sides also began to charge at a faster pace under the leadership of their respective generals.

"Shoot!"

Gongsun Yue, who was standing behind the crossbow array, pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed forward, and shouted.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and the first drop of blood began to appear at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the battle finally began.

Countless soldiers held the two-handed crossbow purchased by Gongsun Zhan from Jiangdong, and shot wildly at the fan-shaped area in front of them, without stopping, instantly forming an overwhelming rain of arrows, covering the nearly 10,000 Xianbei cavalry charging at the forefront without stopping.

"Poof! Poof! ”

The crossbow array has always been a sharp weapon for the Han army to deal with Hu Qi. The repeating crossbow invented by Jiangdong not only greatly improved the rate of fire, but also was not inferior to the previous rhubarb crossbow of the Han army in terms of range, and could shoot ten arrows in a row, and the loading was relatively fast. The Xianbei cavalry was honored to verify its power.

It's just a crossbow array composed of more than 5,000 people, and the lethality caused is extremely terrifying. Under the dense rain of arrows, the Xianbei cavalry that charged in front lost almost half of them, and countless war horses and corpses fell to the ground.

"Good!" Gongsun Yue shouted excitedly.

I have known for a long time that this crossbow is not ordinary, but I didn't expect the actual combat effect to be so good. However, in an instant, 50,000 arrows were shot over, which was enough to destroy nearly 3,000 cavalry in Xianbei.

The Xianbei cavalry was taken aback by the power of this crossbow array. The crossbow array in front of you is only a few thousand people! How do you feel like this rain of arrows is shot by tens of thousands of people!

However, they found that the rain of arrows soon stopped, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they frantically urged their horses to rush forward while the other party was filling with arrows.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

However, before they could charge a few steps, another frenzied rain of arrows came at them. The same overwhelming, densely enveloped them completely.

"Poof! Poof! ”

Thousands more fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" On the high platform in the rear, he was about to enjoy the scene of the Han army being overwhelmed by the endless cavalry under his command, and Lian Lian said in disbelief: "The strong crossbow in the hands of the Han people does not need to be filled with arrows?" ”

Gongsun Fan saw the scene in front of him and smiled slightly. Gongsun Zhan's mighty grassland relies on extraordinary speed, and the talent of the generals under his command is mostly related to speed.

Gongsun Fan's legion talent is to greatly improve the reaction speed and sensitivity of his soldiers, in the past, as a defender of the city, in charge of the longbow team in the city, but now with the crossbow array, his legion talent is finally useful.

Originally, this kind of improved crossbow loading and aiming and shooting were relatively fast, and with the talent of Shangsun Fan's legion, it was almost an instant to complete the loading of arrows and design, and it was smooth. The power of the crossbow is fully exerted.

Soon, after seven or eight rounds of arrow rain, the Xianbei cavalry, who had lost tens of thousands, was about to charge in front of the crossbow array, when Gongsun Fan shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

The crossbowmen quickly picked up the crossbows in their hands and got up and retreated.

Seeing this, the Xianbei cavalry even more frantically instigated the war horses under their crotch, wanting to chase and kill this group of crossbowmen who had killed a large number of their clansmen.

However, it was still a step too slow, and under the command and accurate calculation of Gongsun Fan, the crossbow army quickly retreated into the rear car formation. The Xianbei cavalry also saw what was in front of them.

The chariot was not an ordinary chariot with three armor soldiers standing on it in the past, but a huge chariot like a hedgehog surrounded by sharp blades as it was used by Yuan Shao at the beginning, blocking in front of them, like a fortress. Even in order to pursue the effect of blocking the enemy, these chariots were not equipped with horses at all, and the reels were completely for the convenience of pulling over. It's not so much a chariot as a wall with a wheel, or the kind with thorns.

In the gaps between the chariots and on both sides, heavy infantry armed with huge shields and spears were ready to fight. The retreating crossbowmen had already retreated to the center of the battle formation composed of chariots and heavy infantry, each in position, loading their crossbows and preparing to shoot.

The weakness of ordinary chariots is too obvious, and the craftsmen under Yuan Shu's command were inspired by the battle of Yuan Shaojieqiao, so they simply directly created this "wall-type" chariot, giving up its mobility, and directly set up it to protect the crossbowmen, acting as a mobile city wall on the battlefield, and cooperating with heavy infantry to protect the crossbowmen.

At this time, the Xianbei cavalry, who was at the forefront of the charge, was still glad that they had survived the rain of arrows, and only felt a pang of despair when they saw the chariots in front of them like city walls and the heavy infantry armed to the teeth around them.
