"Since then, I know the respect of the prince and the nobility of the governor." With a smile on his face, King Zhao didn't say what he thought in his heart, but pursed his lips and watched intently as the army marched forward.

100,000 people at their feet, forbidden, serving themselves, this feeling, only those who have experienced it will understand the feeling.

And when he gave an order, the strong men prostrate, the warriors served their lives, how many heroes and heroes, holding on to the front and fighting hard, throwing away their blood, and throwing away their lives......

After more than ten years of hard work, today it has finally paid off.

……

Both sides beat the drums hard, and this time there was a winter thunderstorm, and they had to be suppressed by the drums.

Then there were flags, arrays, and troops, and the army of 200,000 people was simply boundless, and there was no end in sight, and the thieves were strong in the big camp in the south, and after the more than 10,000 elites in the big camp in the north came out of the camp, the momentum was not under the camp in the south.

The two sides gradually marched forward from a distance of nearly ten miles, and by the time they reached noon, they were already less than two miles apart.

At this time, facing each other, the two sides scolded each other angrily, but among the officers and soldiers and the thieves, many people felt gloomy.

This time, the officers and soldiers attacked the thieves, all of whom were outsiders, and the thieves in front of them were actually mostly locals in Jianzhou.

Miners, local young people, homeless, scoundrels, rangers, and the number of middle-aged men in Jianzhou is only about four or five hundred thousand at most, and a quarter of them are among the thieves in front of them.

When they were less than a mile apart, the generals of the forbidden army regrouped their ranks, and the large array of the Xiang army, which was not far away, continued to move forward to the beat of drums.

At 300 paces, the forbidden army column stopped for a while, and the battalions under each army pushed out the bed crossbow, and there were not many equipment in the forbidden army for this kind of bed crossbow used in field battles, but there were more than 20 bodies, and about fifteen people were required to control one.

At the same time, the archers have already held the bow in their hands, the pocket is opened, the arrows are divided into heavy arrows and light arrows, and the archers of the forbidden army must go through a strict assessment, and within half an hour, shoot fifteen heavy arrows, thirty light arrows, and have to shoot several times in a row to be considered qualified.

The Divine Arm Archer also tightens the bowstring and puts the arrows into the crossbow groove.

The range of the bed crossbow is three hundred steps away, and the power of nearly three hundred steps is not small, but the bed crossbow does not continue to move forward, and the foot pawn, the archer, and the divine arm archer continue to move forward.

The entire forbidden army array, more than 10,000 people are soldiers, across the north and south, in front of the array, after many times the whole team, to the front of the enemy about 200 paces, the array is not chaotic, it is still quite neat.

Located on a flat and plain, this is simply the best battlefield of the Great Wei Forbidden Army.

On the other hand, there are more than 80,000 people lined up outside the camp, and the ranks are already extremely chaotic, the parts are chaotic, the arrays are not in order, many arrays are of different numbers, the weapons are miscellaneous, and even the big flags are improvised and rushed, which seems to be shoddy.

Only the number of archers is not much different from that of the Wei army.

Li Kaiming was anxious to take Jianzhou and other cities, but what he did was not money, and the governors of the prefectures and counties did not have much grain, and the income was far less than plundering any big family, and all he wanted was the bows and arrows in the arsenals of the prefectures and counties.

When a large number of thieves and officers and soldiers confronted each other and entered the range of about 200 steps, the large array was facing each other, and the posture of shooting each other with bows and arrows was already quite obvious.

There are many thieves, but there are very few thieves in the big camp, and more than ninety percent of them are wearing ordinary thin cotton jackets, not to mention armor, that is, there are few wooden shields and leather armor, cotton armor, and iron helmets.

And its dense thick array, a large number of archers stand in the array, dense long hands in a small array, mixed with archers, the two wings are also very thick compared to the middle formation, and because of the effectiveness of all the archers, the two wings are obviously more convex, forming a semi-encircled battle array.

Li Kaiming and others have also been in battle formations for a long time, knowing that the Nanda Battalion lacks armor, the soldiers lack experience, and they do not have much blood, so they can only take advantage of the advantages of a large number of people and many archers, and abandon the shortcomings of insufficient bow power and lack of training of archers.

The forbidden army opened a horizontal formation, trying to shorten the contact with a large number of thieves, but in the end there are only more than 10,000 people, if the observation point is on the high platform of King Zhao, it is obvious that you can see the two wings of the thieves open, and the forbidden army array is like a long snake, winding forward, as if to be surrounded by enemy troops.

"Crossbow, hair!"

The bed crossbowmen of the Wei Forbidden Army were also well-trained, and although there were not many bed crossbows, they still gathered many people, and slightly awayed the passage in front so that the bed crossbow commander could observe the enemy.

In fact, there is no need to observe too much, there are many thieves in front of you, and the array is thick, as long as a crossbow is fired, there will definitely be a large number of kills.

With a military order, the bed crossbow began to fire.

The bed crossbow used in the battlefield is a single-bow crossbow, the kind of double-bow or three-bow crossbow, which requires dozens of people to control, and weighs hundreds of catties, thousands of catties, and is difficult to carry, so it can only be used on ships or to defend the city.

Single-bow bed crossbow, the bow body is several times larger than the ordinary step bow, it can't be pulled by manpower, it is also to be wound with a winch shaft, and several people are winch on both sides at the same time, and then someone puts the short spear-like arrows into the arrow slot, and then with the military attaché's order, a special person comes forward with a wooden mallet, hits the teeth with a mallet, and the thick bowstring suddenly collapses forward, making a huge explosion sound, and then the nearly two-meter-long giant arrow rises into the air and roars forward.

More than a dozen bed crossbows were fired suddenly, which was the prelude to the Jianyang War.

The heavy arrows swept forward in the air, although there was no rigorous ballistics at this time, but hundreds of years of experience were worth everything, the crossbow had been adjusted in advance, and the arrows flew in mid-air, and after throwing a semi-circular trajectory, they suddenly fell on the place where the thieves gathered in the thick array!

"Peng!"

The arrows of the single-bow bed crossbow, in fact, can not be compared with the real triple bow of the heavy crossbow, those heavy crossbows can fire a number of heavy arrows, each of which is longer and sharper than the long one, and can also fire the treadmill arrows, that is, the arrows are such as the shovel straight, the arrow body is also flat siege arrows, this kind of arrow can be deeply shoveled into the wall bricks of the city wall, a wall densely shoots hundreds of arrows, the soldiers can climb up the peg while using the ladder and the earth mountain to attack the city, and the whole wall is the soldier who climbs the wall, so that the defender of the city has the feeling of not knowing where to start. At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, the stepping arrows made great meritorious contributions, and how many Xiongguan key passes were shot down with bed crossbows.

At this time, the single-bow bed crossbow is far less powerful than the double bow and triple bow heavy crossbow, but when it is shot into the thief array, it is just as powerful!

Every arrow fell into the formation with a bang, and the first one could hardly react.

The arrow is too fast, the arrow body is too heavy, when the bed crossbow is fired, the thieves on the opposite side are actually quite nervous, many people subconsciously look into the air, when they see a piece of arrows like iron spears falling over, many people have been shocked to change color, and even feel that the arrow is shot at their forehead, when they are really shot by the arrow, but what reaction is slow, subconsciously want to hide and escape is just subconsciously, when the consciousness is together, the body has not yet moved, but it has been pierced by the arrow......

Terrible howls followed, and heavy arrows either hit one person, or shot in a row, stringing up as many as five or six people, or as few as three or four people!

The first person to be shot, whether it was in the chest or abdomen, was a bloody hole with a hole the size of a bowl, and he died quickly, which can be regarded as lucky.

After being shot through, due to the slowing down of the strength of the arrow, although the body came out, the wound was not large, after the person was pierced, and then saw that the comrades were also shot through, connected to themselves, the pain and the great sense of fear made people desperately scream, wail, scream, cry, all kinds of things, when they struggled, many thieves were sideways for it, seeing the miserable death of their companions, all of them were terrified and frightened!

At the same time, among the battalions, the sound of bangzi also sounded one after another, and the same was true for the officers and soldiers.

Both sides stopped almost at the same time, then the archer took the arrow, wound it, and then, under the command of the officer, raised the bow slightly, and then spread the fingers that were holding the bowstring, and released the arrow.

Almost all the movements are the same, even formation, arrowing, archery, and aiming, all of which are generally the same.

The method of bow shooting in the Great Wei Dynasty for more than 200 years has been thoroughly penetrated into the people.

The thieves had nearly 20,000 archers, divided into the middle army and the left and right sides, and the forbidden army was lined up in a horizontal line, and the archers were all in front of the horizontal formation.

When nearly 30,000 archers throw each other together, the crackling sound of the bowstring is like a firecracker at the time of the New Year, one after another, and the arrows flying in the air are dense, like a locust plague when the locust covers the air, giving people a strange and strange feeling.

When the arrow falls with all its strength, and the force that falls in mid-air falls on the human body, the flat and sharp force can easily tear through the clothes on the human body, cut the skin, cut the muscles, blood vessels, and even smash the bones, cut into the internal organs, and make people suffer extremely serious injuries in an instant.

If you are shot in the arm or leg, you will inevitably suffer minor injuries or even broken bones.

Those who were shot in the internal organs, lungs, heart, and abdomen either died directly or were seriously injured and refractory.

At a time of tens of thousands of arrows, and close to the dense rain of arrows within 200 steps, the forbidden army with armor and protection immediately bowed their heads when the rain of thieves and arrows came...... The shieldmen raised their shields high in batches, as if a turtle formation had been erected in front of the array, and then a large number of arrows landed on the shields, making a clanging sound one after another.

He who is not covered by the shield does not panic, but just lowers his head and lets the arrow hit his body or head.

If you are shot in the head, it will inevitably be like being hit on the top with a stick, and the pain and fainting will be inevitable, but it will recover quickly, at most a few wisps of blood will flow out under the top of the helmet, and minor injuries are not counted.

Those who are shot in the body, if there is no armor to protect the place, will inevitably be hit by arrows into the body and suffer some minor injuries, but whether it is cotton armor or leather armor, or piercing armor, chain mail, scale armor, guarding the vital points of the body, avoiding serious injuries from arrows, but they are all completely qualified.

After all, they were separated by a hundred paces, and the bow and arrows were exhausted by flying so far, and the arrows swept down, which was also exhausted, and it was not enough to penetrate the armor and seriously injure the human body.

The military attachés on both sides were mostly on horseback or standing on command vehicles, observing the entire battlefield.

Everywhere there was the sound of drums, shouts of killing, the sound of bowstrings collapsing, and the sound of wailing and screaming, the spirit of the army, soaring, under the sound of drums, the flags were spreading, the group of thieves and officers and soldiers were also constantly adjusting the array, and the archers and foot soldiers were clamoring to shoot arrows, while under the guidance of the military flag, continued to move forward.

The sound of the crossbow striking from the bed is monotonous and impoverished, but it is deep and terrifying.

The sound of the bowstring of the archer is also breathtaking and terrifying.

Within a hundred paces, the forbidden army rarely killed or injured, but the thieves on the opposite side were already lying in ambush.

At this point, the Forbidden Army archers stopped and began to switch to light arrows, firing them continuously. With a well-performed foot bow and a well-trained archer firing rapid-fire, the thief archers on the opposite side, although they were three times the size of the forbidden army, were still unable to raise their heads by the dense light arrows, and had begun to show signs of rout.

Although Liu Guangsi is mediocre, after all, he has been fighting horses for half his life, and when he sees the opportunity to win, he gives orders one after another, and then the military flag swings, the foot pawn shield hand, and the hand of the hand, begins to form a formation, forming a sharp triangle shape, everyone can see that as long as the more than 3,000 forbidden army soldiers are approaching the front of the battle, the thief archers will be in chaos, and the quality of their archers is not as good as the officers and soldiers.

Once contacted, the thieves will be chaotic, and will be penetrated by the officers and soldiers as if they were in a no-man's land, and the direct array will collapse, and the momentum of defeat will be achieved at that time.

At this time, Liu Guangsi couldn't help but be complacent, although today's battle was more fierce than imagined, the thieves were powerful, the arrows were like rain, and although the forbidden army had armor and iron helmets, it was inevitable that there would be many casualties. However, once the formation is broken, although there is a slight loss, Li Kaiming's important wing can still be cut off, and then he will be captured and beheaded, and the enemy's large battalion will be harvested, and then he will join forces with the Xiang army to fight the northern camp.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but watch the situation in Beiying in the command car.

However, it was exactly the same as expected, compared with the fierce fighting on the southern front, the Xiang army in the north advanced extremely slowly, and has not yet entered the effective range of both sides, and the Xiang army does not have a large number of bed crossbows to shoot from a distance, but keeps beating drums and shouting to kill, the momentum is not small, and the two sides have not officially engaged in battle.

"What a bunch of shafts." Liu Guangsi didn't have much dissatisfaction with this, this time he commanded in battle, even if Lin Zhien and Li Yaowu and others were not convinced, after all, they were still ordered on the battlefield, and the soldiers were in danger, and these forbidden army generals still knew. However, after this battle, Liu Guangsi's position in the army was unshakable.

As long as you can grasp the forbidden army of the five armies, how is the Xiang army, in fact, you don't have to take it too seriously, they have always been like this, but they are just bluffing, blocking the enemy's northern camp and the southern camp, thinking that with more than 60,000 Xiang troops, they will hold on to it, and it should be done to block it for a while.

There are 60,000 troops in six compartments, and there are not a few people in armor, and there are a large number of archers in it, even if the momentum and array are not as good as the thieves, but the momentum of the thieves is consumed, so that the forbidden army can calmly turn around after defeating the northern camp, and work together to deal with the northern camp.

As for the lack of work in the van army, this is expected, and there is no need to take it too seriously.

More than 3,000 forbidden troops began to assault forward, and the archers continued to quickly suppress the enemy formation with light arrows, driving away the enemy in front of the assault soldiers.

Different from the imagination of King Zhao, Liu Guangsi and others, Li Kaiming is not in the group of veterans in the northern camp, Liu Maoqi and most of the generals in the old camp are in the northern camp, but Li Kaiming himself is in the southern camp.

In the middle of the camp, the flag of the generalissimo of Fengtian advocated righteousness had not been erected before, when the forbidden army raided, Li Kaiming sat on the flag tower and came down, still dressed in a hat and blue robe, he was tall, with a short beard on his chin, and he was in one place with the soldiers almost every day these days, so everyone knew him.

After Li Kaiming appeared, the hearts of the people inside and outside the camp surged, and many officers and soldiers shouted loudly together with the officers.

"Today's battle is not to win, nor is it that I, Li Kaiming, want to take everyone to death." After the blue-robed man rode on the iconic yellow fat horse, Li Kaiming began to move outside the camp, and countless soldiers stationed in the camp accompanied him behind his horse, following the northwest man and said loudly: "This is to survive, my generation of grass people, let the court, the government, and the gentry and grain families oppress." Because I couldn't pay the taxes, I was put in a yoke by the county officials in front of the yamen for 15 days, my neck was stuck in the standing cage, I lacked food and water, my body was sinned, and my heart was humiliated. From that day on, I don't recognize the Great Wei officials as the Son of Heaven, and I don't accept those officials, this dog's world, we poor people can only rely on the bow in our own hands, and kill a peaceful world for ourselves! Brothers of Fujian Road, Jiangxi Road, Liangzhejiang Road, Jingnan Jingbei, Qinfeng Road, and Hedong Road, we don't rely on God, we don't believe in the Son of Heaven, kill these lackeys brought by dog officials, and survive in death! ”

"Live, live, live!"
