Chapter 342: Kuancheng Rises
Yuan Xi was wearing silver armor, and under the protection of Dian Wei and Yuan Xiang, he quietly watched the scene in front of him.
In fact, today should have ended here, but looking at the thousands of troops and horses in front of him, he felt an inexplicable desire in his heart, wanting to kill all the soldiers and horses in front of him.
After welcoming Yuan Xi and the others, the Xuanjia Corps did not continue to advance, but raised their huge shields and spears and stood in place, and among them were the marksmen trained by Tai Shici, as well as some large bed crossbowmen.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and eighty meters, the Xianbei general who led the army was originally still a rat trap, but after the right king and General Obili disappeared, they finally shouted angrily and shouted to charge.
At one hundred and seventy meters, the Xianbei cavalry at the front was stabbed by the iron thistles all over the ground, and the sides were already covered with thistles.
The cavalry charged, for fear that the cavalry in front of them would fall to the ground, this was not an infantry, and people could be stepped on, often a war horse fell to the ground, and the loss was three or four war horses.
Yuan Xi looked at the fierce charge in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the end, it was the people who lived on the grassland, they were really brave, and in the case of thistles and countless counties, they actually lost less than a thousand people, so they stabilized the formation and continued to attack.
At the time of one hundred and sixty meters, Tai Shi Ci shouted: "Bed crossbow ready!" ”
Ten bed crossbows made a clicking sound, and the arrows were wound.
"Put!"
"Bang!" The big arrows shot by the bed crossbow, with the sound of the whistling wind, shot towards the Xianbei soldiers and horses.
In the face of dense cavalry, the effect of the bed crossbow was obvious, and after three rounds, the enemy's casualties had increased to more than a thousand.
In the face of losses, the Xianbei people are indeed bloody, not only were they not frightened, but they all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, screaming and continuing to charge, and the people had not yet been killed, and their eyes were already blood-red.
"Archer prepare!" Tai Shi Ci saw that Xianbei's cavalry had reached one hundred and twenty meters, and with a wave of his big hand, he decisively issued the order to attack.
Suddenly, 3,000 arrows rained down, and they rushed towards the dense Xianbei cavalry.
Yuan Xi and the others saw a burst of blood boiling in the back, it was a one-sided slaughter, when did they feel so happy? Isn't the best treatment and training he gave Tai Shici today?
Three rounds of arrow rain down, although the Xianbei people charged to fifty meters away, but they had already lost eight out of ten|nine, and they had no way to retreat, because retreating was also death, being shot by bows and arrows, if they continued to charge, they might be able to kill one.
With the idea of being able to kill one by one, hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, who had already been wounded, let out a roar of rage and continued to advance.
Yuan Xi called back Tai Shici and withdrew the archers, Xu Chu shouted knowingly: "Change the formation!" ”
The five thousand Xuanjia heavy corps can actually kill the battlefield by pressing it directly, but Xu Chu firmly remembered Yuan Xi's words, he didn't do that, what he has to do now is not only to not lose all the soldiers and horses, but also to exercise the transformation ability of the soldiers' battle formations.
The five thousand Xuanjia soldiers quickly transformed into the fish scale array invented by Yuan Xi (stealing the division), holding huge shields and spears, giving way to the offensive of the cavalry charge, putting them in, and then gradually squeezing them, harvesting the remaining cavalry like dumplings.
Cavalry charges are sometimes invincible, but sometimes they can be a moving target under a sky of bows and arrows, especially if there are many archers on the opposing side.
Countless arrows rained down, densely shot, could not be stopped at all, and the cavalry was still afraid of being injured, and as soon as they were injured, the offensive behind would suddenly slow down.
At the beginning, Gongsun Zhan's battle of the boundary bridge was defeated in the hands of Koyi in this way, and now it is used by Yuan Xi, and it is found that it is not generally easy to use.
But he also understands that if the opponent charges tens of thousands of people, his own archers will not be enough.
When the Xianbei people charged, they also let go of some arrows, I have to say that although they do not have stirrups, but the skills of archery on horses are much stronger than those of their subordinates, and the stability is not comparable to ordinary people.
After all, he is a person who has lived on horseback all his life, but Yuan Xi didn't feel that his subordinates were not good.
But because of those huge shields and iron armor, five thousand Xuanjia soldiers, none of them were injured, not even injured, at the cost of zero casualties, the annihilation of Xianbei five thousand iron cavalry has to be said to be a super big result.
Soon there were many soldiers in Kuancheng, ready to take care of the battlefield, although the Xianbei soldiers were dead, but there were still a lot of war horses left, these are all good treasures, as well as weapons, bows and arrows, these must also be reserved.
Almost when there was a big battle on Yuan Xi's side, Pan Feng and Zhang Jaw on the Western Front; Han Meng and Yan Rou on the Eastern Front also took the initiative to attack.
With a deliberate calculation or no intention, the Xianbei soldiers and horses barely fought, and they fled in embarrassment.
After three battles, a total of 10,000 Xianbei soldiers were annihilated, and countless prisoners were taken.
The Xianbei leader Kebineng was furious when he found out, and directly led the main force to the front line to fight a decisive battle with the Youzhou army.
At the same time, Yuan Shao, who was far away in Yecheng, also received a letter from Yuan Xi.
Yuan Shao has always been conceited and close to Xianbei, first, he is not interested in that bitter cold place, and second, he doesn't take Xianbei in his eyes at all, so he doesn't want to focus on Xianbei at all, but Xianbei people actually shot Yang Lian directly, naked to provoke a war, Yuan Xi couldn't sit still.
Fortunately, now he is strong and strong, and it is not impossible to start a war on two fronts, so he immediately took Tian Feng as his military advisor and Chun Yuqiong as his general, and personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to Youzhou to prepare to attack Xianbei.
After the news came, Youzhou was boiling, and Yuan Xi was also relieved, after the two days of fighting, he could be regarded as having seen Xianbei's strong combat effectiveness, and he clearly felt that even if he could really beat Xianbei down, he would suffer heavy casualties.
Of course, he knows the benefits of military training, but now it is not a question of whether to train soldiers or not, the key problem is that he does not have so many people to replenish soldiers and horses.
Now Yuan Shao asked Chun Yuqiong to lead an army of 100,000 to conquer Xianbei, which made him relax.
After the fight in the past two days, among the generals he paid attention to, Pan Feng was the most dazzling, followed by Zhang Jaw, the coalition led by the two of them, three battles and three victories, directly killed the Xianbei people crying father and mother, and won more with less every time, but they were all big victories.
And there is a little bit of enlightenment for Yuan Xi, those Xianbei soldiers captured by Pan Feng, the unruly ones will be killed, and the others who are willing to surrender will be scattered into the army.
It's a little patient to read, don't worry
