Someone is constantly reporting the approach of the enemy.

"Crossbowman, let's go!"

When the enemy was one hundred and fifty paces away, the officers who led the battle finally shouted and gave the order to fire, so the crossbowmen holding the crossbow machine pulled the strings one after another, and countless crossbow spikes flew out.

At an ultra-long distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the Wei army was still running, but the first wave of the Xia army's offensive had already been shot.

It may take years to train an archer, but it may only take half a year to train a qualified crossbowman, or even nothing.

Crossbow machines, on the other hand, have a much longer range than bows and arrows, and are also more physically energy-efficient.

An archer, if he draws his bow and shoots arrows continuously, will not be long before he is physically exhausted and can no longer pull the strings. But a crossbowman can continue to shoot for half a day.

It's just that the cost of the crossbow machine is high, and at the same time, the crossbow machine also has the disadvantages of slow rate of fire and easy damage.

But the crossbowmen can be fast, so there are many crossbowmen in the Xia army, especially in Wang Fubao's elite, there are even two percent of the crossbowmen.

"The enemy is nearly sixty paces!"

From one hundred and fifty paces to sixty paces, the crossbowmen had already fired three arrows, and they all used three shots to ensure that they could shoot without pause.

These three waves of shooting caused the Wei army to fall countless people.

But the people behind are still rushing forward.

"Bow!"

One Xia army after another took up their bows.

Whether it is a Mo swordsman or a spearman or a knife player, they all raised their bows and set up arrows, which is another place where the Xia army far surpassed the Wei army, and they completely imitated this elite army in the previous expedition to Liao, and everyone had a bow.

Although many soldiers did not shoot their bows accurately, it didn't matter, the tactical thinking of the Xia army was to require long-range firepower.

Even if each soldier only released three arrows before the engagement, that would be enough.

Without seeking accuracy, only three rounds of salvo hanging fire are required, which is enough to inflict great damage on the charging enemy troops, especially to greatly improve the morale of the army.

The bows and crossbows of the Sui army were already powerful, but now the Wei army's armor was weak, so the lethality was even greater.

Three arrows.

Most of the Xia infantry only shot three arrows.

Then the Wei army, which rushed over by inertia, finally rushed to the front, although they had thousands of people falling, but they still rushed over by inertia.

"Mo Dao!"

·······

The battlefield is not far away.

On the high tower of a temple on the bank of the river, several short-haired monks were standing on the top of the tower watching the battlefield on this side.

It's just that their conversation is not like that of a monk at all.

"Don't you see, this Xia Jun's tactics are very clever." A big monk said to several young monks.

"Well, the Xia army was simply defeated at the beginning, they lured the Wei army to pursue, and then the army was scattered, but at this time, the Xia army stood up by the river, attacked first with bows and crossbows, killed and injured a large number of Wei troops, and greatly improved the morale of the Xia army."

The great monk smiled, "Far more than that, didn't you notice that before the Xia army crossed the river, there was a half-armored cavalry, but from beginning to end, on this battlefield, did you see this cavalry?" ”

"No, only a light horse appeared."

The big monk praised the little monk, "You look very carefully, that's right, the heavy cavalry is gone, it doesn't appear here at all, you say, where should he be now?" ”

"Did you go to White Horse Castle?"

On the banks of the river.

Wang Fubao charged the battle with light cavalry, deceived the enemy by defeat, and then counterattacked.

Bow and crossbow volleys, then Mo sword to block the enemy, and then light cavalry to attack on both sides.

Wang Fubao's heavy infantry was as impregnable as a rock, and his light cavalry roamed coquettishly, and elite crossbowmen continued to reap. Although Wang Fubao has few soldiers, there are still 7,000 people, and when the 7,000 men and horses are very elite, it is no longer a simple way to defeat them with more strikes and fewer blows.

At first, the Wei army continued to attack regardless of casualties.

But soon, the Wei army could not rush.

No matter how they rushed, the Xia army did not move, but they threw down countless corpses in front of the battle.

When the casualties reached a certain number, the rabble nature of the Wei army was finally exposed.

Instead of rushing forward with their brains congested, they began to turn around and run despite orders.

And Wang Fubao launched a counter-charge in time, so the Wei army was defeated and fled.

Until this time, Liu Heimin and his 1,000 and a half armored cavalry had never appeared on the battlefield.

Just when Wang Fubao was fiercely fighting against the Wei army to intercept the troops, Liu Heimin led a thousand of the most elite semi-armored cavalry to cross the river from another riverbank, and under the cover of Xiaose, he silently took advantage of the fierce battle with excellent discipline and went around to the White Horse City behind the Wei army.

One and a half armored horses, without armor, galloped all the way on a prepared horse.

After approaching White Horse City, they quickly began to put on half-dressed heavy armor for themselves and their war horses, and then stepped on their war horses and launched a surprise attack on Wang Bodang's main camp outside White Horse City in Xiaoseli.

The wind is blowing.

The morning is cold.

Wang Bodang was still commanding the soldiers and horses at this time to block Cao Bao, who was trying to break out of the city, but he didn't expect that tens of thousands of horses and horses could not stop thousands of Xia troops on the shore.

Although the 1,000 and a half heavy cavalry led by Liu Heimin were inferior to Luo Cheng's heavy cavalry in terms of equipment, they still imitated Luo Cheng's heavy cavalry in terms of tactics and organization.

When they charged, they were also indomitable.

Liu Heimin even held the horse lance and rushed to the forefront.

A part of the Wei army tried to intercept the cavalry, but was quickly crushed by the iron cavalry.

Even if they are only half-equipped iron horses, they are not something that ordinary soldiers and horses can stop.

Liu Heimin led the half-loaded heavy cavalry, crushing and crashing all the way, and everywhere he passed, whether it was the Wei army's foot soldiers or light cavalry, they were all hit and collapsed.

The Wei army, which had no time to gather and assemble, couldn't stop this heavy cavalry at all.

Wang Bodang had no choice but to urgently transfer troops and horses, and quickly formed a military formation to intercept with his own elite battalion of personal guards as the core.

At this time, although Cao Bao failed to break through the encirclement of the earthen wall, he led the Xia army to rush and kill everywhere between the White Horse City and the Earth City.

By the time the battle reached the golden light of Chaoyang Wandao, Wang Fubao had already killed the Wei army on the south bank and killed under the White Horse City.

Wang Fubao is a fierce tiger in the mountains, and thousands of elites under his command are like tigers into the flock.

The Wei army was caught in a flank attack.

Wang Bodang struggled to support, but finally blocked the charge of the heavy cavalry, but Cao Bao took the opportunity to kill the earthen fortifications.

When Cao Bao, Wang Fubao, and Liu Heimin reunited, Wang Bodang also knew that the general trend had gone.

Although he had a large number of soldiers and horses, he could not play a role at all today, and the soldiers and horses were scattered, so he could only take one last look at White Horse City, and unwillingly led the army to the west.
