Chapter 631: The Time Has Come

Xiahou Ba actually didn't think that the Han army would send troops, after all, the turtle had shrunk for so long before, and this time, there must be no reaction, and the shrunken turtle only needed to guard his camp.

When the guards came to report that the Han army sent troops and horses to attack, Xiahouba's first reaction was to be stunned and a little incredulous, until the guards re-told the news of the Han army's attack, Xiahouba reacted.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" His face sank, and Xiahou Ba had a look of excitement in his eyes, he had suffered humiliation in the Han camp before, and now, he could finally take revenge!

He did not continue to camp, and immediately led the soldiers and horses to Yuanmen, climbed the arrow tower, and looked into the distance, and saw a Han army slowly marching towards this side in a neat queue.

Gap......

Xiahou Ba is considered to be a relatively top-notch kind among the younger generation of Cao Wei, and he has participated in a lot of battles, but it is precisely because of this that after seeing the military appearance of the Han army at this moment, Xiahou Ba can more truly understand the gap between the two sides.

The feeling of being pressed down like a mountain, even if it is still separated by a distance, you can still feel the sense of oppression brought by the Han army, at least in terms of momentum, it is difficult for the Wei army to be as uniform as the Han army.

The meaning of the queue and formation in the era of cold weapons is not as simple as good-looking, there is no effective and fast way of information transmission, the command of the military formation, it can only rely on the order flag, but it is not clear from a distance, it can only rely on the sorting of the array, according to the actions of the soldiers in the front row, in this way, the effect of the neat queue is manifested on the battlefield, that is, the order is prohibited, these four words are easy to say, but there are not many generals who can do it.

Originally, Xiahou Ba still intended to rush to kill for a while, but now, after seeing the opponent's military formation, Xiahou Ba gave up this idea, not to mention how many soldiers and horses the opponent had, just in terms of array, it was a little too late for him to line up now.

You can only rely on the existing camp for defense, which will have some advantages.

"Push the catapult here!" Xiahou Ba turned his head and gritted his teeth at the guards beside him.

"Whoa!"

The catapult brought by Xiahouba, but during the Battle of Heluo that year, the batch captured by Sima Yi, although more than ten years have passed, but both the power and the range are still far superior to the catapults made by Cao Wei himself, not only these, many bows and crossbows in Cao Wei were also captured in that battle, in addition, they were bought from Dongwu, after all, Dongwu has really lacked money in order to develop Yizhou over the years, but most of the military uniforms bought from Dongwu are not as good as those directly captured from the Han army.

The Han army's military formation slowly approached, and it didn't seem to be in a hurry, but it had its own overwhelming spirit inside, and finally stopped when it was about two hundred paces away.

According to past experience, the range of the Han army's bow and arrow is about one hundred and fifty or sixty steps, this range, the Wei army is only able to shoot some sharpshooters who can shoot a five-stone strong bow, but such a bow is not difficult to do, and the archers alone can't find a few, and now the other party is lined up two hundred steps away, obviously preparing to release the arrow array.

"Shield!" Although he felt a little incredible, Xiahou Ba didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and with a shout, the shield man in the front row quickly raised the big shield in his hand.

"Hum~"

Almost at the same time, with a roar, rows of arrows rose into the air, not at the same time, but rhythmically shot out in rows, and in an instant, the sky seemed to darken.

Xiahou Ba looked up at the sky, but saw rows of arrows intertwined in the air into a dense rain of arrows, with a scream of death falling from the sky.

That scene, as if the whole sky was falling at this moment, Rao was already mentally prepared, at this moment, looking at the scene of the end in front of him, Xiahou Ba's brain still appeared a short blank.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

The dense impact sound continued to sound, and the arrow clusters falling from the sky continued to fall on Cao Jun's shield array, Cao Jun's shield was specially designed for the Han army's sharp arrows, not only the wooden shield itself was thicker, but also the outside would be wrapped with at least two layers of cowhide, Rao was the sharpness of the Han army's bow and arrows, most of them were bounced off, and occasionally one or two shot in along the gap in the shield, tearing a gap in the dense shield array.

And the effect of the Han army's platoon shooting was also reflected at this time, if the gap could not be blocked in time, the arrow clusters that followed closely behind would quickly drill into the gap, expanding the results of the battle and expanding the gap.

At the beginning of the arrow array, it seemed to be endless, there was no end, as time passed, dozens of gaps of different sizes appeared in the Wei army's camp, the two sides had not yet met the enemy, the other party had already relied on the arrow array to beat the Wei army could not raise its head, the casualties were only a few, but the blow to morale was terrifying.

"Woo~"

The desolate horn sounded from the direction of the Han army, and the Han army in the front row began to continue to move in this direction, while the bows and arrows in the rear did not seem to stop.

The average archer, pulling the bow about ten times, the strength will almost begin to exhaust, and the range will begin to decrease, but the archers of the Han army, as if tireless, continue to open the bow, as if endless.

"Catapult!" Looking at the Han army's military formation, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and signaled the catapult to counterattack, if it continues to fight like this, the Wei army may have to collapse before it officially engages in battle.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

One by one, the stone bullets broke out of the air with Xiahou Ba's order, and bombarded the formation of the Han army fiercely, and the Han army that was hit was smashed into minced meat in an instant, and the huge inertia brought by the stone bullets was at least four or five people were affected, and it was okay to be stoned to death directly, and some broke arms and legs, so they were called miserable, rolling and screaming on the ground in pain, and the military formation of the Han army also fluctuated.

"Thirty thousand at most!" On the other side of the river, on the high platform, looking at the formation of the Han army, Sima Yi frowned.

There is also a downside to having a neat queue, if the enemy's generals are good enough, they can easily see the number of their own side.

"Father, do you want to do it?" Sima Zhao looked at the situation on the other side with some anxiety: "I'm afraid Zhongquan is not the opponent of this Han army, he can't hold out for long!" ”

Sima Yi was silent when he heard this, 30,000 for 30,000 didn't sound like a advantage, but seeing the rigorous queue of the Han army and the terrifying range of bows and arrows, this real combat power was afraid that it was not equal, Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, and nodded silently.

It is too ideal to want to break Liu Yi in one battle, Liu Yi is not so easy to fool, if you can replace Liu Yi's soldiers one-on-one, then this battle is still considered to be the advantage of the Wei army.

"Let's do it." Sima Yi sighed, the Han army is of high quality, but the quantity is insufficient, on the other hand, the Wei army is taking the route of quantity, and the same quantity is consumed, in fact, the Wei army has the advantage, and the opportunity to defeat Liu Yi in one fell swoop has been missed, and now it can only eat the 30,000 soldiers and horses first.

Judging from Liu Yi's enthusiasm for the war during this time, if he wants to catch Liu Yi taking the initiative to send troops next time, Sima Yi doesn't know when to wait.

"Whoa!" Sima Zhao nodded in agreement and went to give the order, and soon, a puff of wolf smoke rose from the Wei army's camp.

On the other side, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, who were watching the battle, quickly noticed the wolf smoke rising from the Wei army, and immediately ordered someone to inform Liu Yi.

"Jiang Wei!" Liu Yi looked at Jiang Wei, handed him a command arrow and said, "Remember the ship I prepared before, right?" ”

"Remember!" Jiang Wei nodded, when Liu Yi designed the river before, he specially built a group of boats, and they stopped ten miles west of Mengjin.

"You immediately lead 10,000 elite soldiers to go there, as long as the flood passes, the water is a little slow, immediately lead the army to cross the river by boat, kill it as quickly as possible, capture Keiguan, you don't need to take care of the war here, just take the east of the river, take the beacon fire as the number, if this side wins, I will light the beacon fire, the beacon fire together, you will take the east of the river as the base, enter the state, west of the Taihang Mountain, you can take as much as you want, you will take as much as you want!" Liu Yi instructed: "You are solely responsible for this detachment, and I will deliver the logistics and grass to you, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Whoa!" Jiang Wei bowed down excitedly and took the order.

"Others are always on standby!" Liu Yi looked at Deng Ai and the others and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this battle, there is still a fight!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals are in response!
