The sun dyed the sky a vivid orange-red, and the clouds in the distance and the setting sun seemed to be a tumbling flame, slowly fluttering with the breeze.

A hint of gloom slowly shrouded the eastern horizon, slowly spreading westward. As the dusk faded, the battlefield tended to be calm.

After Shi Yong's death, people attacked for more than an hour, and the news of Shi Yong's death gradually spread among the army.

However, unlike the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the composition of the People's Army was relatively loose, and Shi Yong was originally only the leader of a medium-sized tribe among the Qianren, and did not have a pivotal position in the clan like Kebineng, Budugen, or Liu Bao, and the clansmen did not have a sense of belonging to Shi Yong, the marshal, so Shi Yong's death did not have a fatal impact on the attack of the People's Army.

Adou went around in a circle, and when he returned to the military formation, he found that the attack of the people was still like a tide, wave after wave, if it weren't for the invulnerability of the vine armor soldiers and the miraculous effect of the Zhuge crossbow, maybe the front line has been gradually torn apart by people now.

However, with the passage of time, people also found that the rattan armor soldiers of the Han army were all like monsters, all of them were invulnerable, except for a few unlucky vine armor soldiers who were trampled to death in the chaotic battlefield, the Shu army basically did not have any casualties.

The people finally retreated, and the Han people were invulnerable, and if they continued to fight like this, they would only waste their troops, so they chose to temporarily retreat when they could not attack for a long time. But even so, more than 20,000 bodies were left behind, and more than 10,000 were injured.

The weather is slowly changing, and it will be a big test for these wounded soldiers who have been traumatized. In the summer, there are more germs, and the wounds are more susceptible to infection, and according to the poor medical level of the people, some wounded soldiers have to lose at least a quarter.

The people retreated, and Adou immediately ordered someone to clean up the field and count the results.

On the battlefield, the corpses of the cavalry and horses are everywhere, especially after entering the range of the Zhuge crossbow, almost without taking a step, you can see the corpses of people, from time to time two people who have not lost their breath will moan once or twice, and the Shu army will unceremoniously walk up and stab.

Zhang came over after counting. And Adou immediately asked, "What about the loss?" ”

"Return to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Preliminary estimates. Less than 100 people were trampled to death in the rebellion. More than 500 others have broken bones. ”

Adou nodded. The price of more than 100 people killed in battle and more than 500 injured in exchange for the lives of more than 20,000 people on the other side should definitely be a big victory.

"It's just that we have consumed nearly half a million arrows in this battle." Zhang continued.

"So much?" Adou was shocked. Adou also knew that the Zhuge Repeater was very powerful in the consumption of arrows. But I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

When Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowed arrows, Cao Jun shot up to 200,000 arrows at one hour. And now this war. It's the same two hours. Nearly half a million arrows were consumed!

Zhuge Lian's crossbow and ten arrows to pull the string and place the arrows for the time to shoot faster than ordinary bows and arrows are also three times faster.

If you count the loss of people, an average of twenty arrows can't kill an enemy, but the hit rate of the projectile is already low, and at such a long distance, the probability of being able to hit the vital point is even lower, and the people will also use their blades to block, 500,000 arrows: enough to cause such an effect, it is normal.

At this time, Adou finally understood what recorded that the Qin army would bring hundreds of carts of arrows every time they went out, and arrows could not withstand consumption in the war.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is one more thing." Zhang continued with a bitter face: "Those Yuan Rong crossbows have broken a lot. ”

"How much is it broken?" Adou hurriedly asked.

"There are already more than fifteen hundred that can no longer be used."

"Fifteen hundred? How can there be so many? "Adou was really shocked this time, he shot more than 1,500 Zhuge crossbows in one battle, which is equivalent to a sudden reduction of nearly one-third of the combat power, this number is a major loss for the Shu army.

A Dou felt a trace of helplessness in his heart, it is normal for the bow and crossbow to malfunction in battle due to the use of too fast and frequently, but the failure rate is nearly one-third, which is also a little too high. Why is the Zhuge Repeater designed by Zhuge Liang so unbearable, a third of the battle will be broken, and the practicality of this Zhuge Repeater is too poor!

Then Adou thought about it carefully, and immediately understood that at this time in history, the Zhuge Repeater should not have appeared, and Zhuge Liang did not take out the Zhuge Repeater, there must be a big problem with stability. Then, decades later, Zhuge Liang slowly solved this problem and designed a more robust and durable Zhuge repeater. Therefore, the Zhuge repeater used by Adou today is at most a semi-finished product, and it is naturally not strong and durable.

"How many more can be repaired and reused?" Adou hurriedly asked.

"If the crossbow string is broken, it can be repaired, but if the parts are broken, none of them can be repaired. And our soldiers are all barbarians, those clumsy guys, it's okay to do rough work, repair things...... Hey, it seems that it still takes a special craftsman to repair. Zhang replied.

"If you can't fix it, forget it, keep it well, and find the prime minister to repair it later. But you send someone to collect all the arrows early tomorrow morning. Adou immediately commanded.

The arrows of Zhuge crossbow are specially made, each arrow is eight inches long, one point longer or one point shorter Zhuge is not suitable for crossbows, and the consumption of arrows by Zhuge crossbow is very powerful, and the Shu army itself does not have the ability to make arrows, so it is necessary to immediately recover the arrows to prepare for the next use.

Most of the arrows shot by the Shu army were shot out of the air, and all of them were inserted in the ground, but the number was too large, and it took the Shu army a morning to clean up all the arrows, and after recycling, there were only 300,000 arrows left that could continue to be used.

……

Zhang hurriedly broke into the big tent of the Chinese army, and before he had time to catch his breath, he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, visit Malay to report, a large number of Hu people have come to the east, and it is less than two hours away from here. ”

"How many enemies are there?"

Zhang shook his head: "There are many, very many, and there is no edge in sight." However, judging from the banner, Kebineng, Budugen and Liu Bao are all here! ”

"It seems that the Hu people besieging Chang'an have poured out." Adou sighed slightly.

The place where he fought was only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, less than 200 miles away, and Adou didn't expect that he wouldn't be discovered by the Hu army in Chang'an, but he didn't expect the Hu people to come with all their might.

Although the rattan armor soldiers are invulnerable

Hundreds of thousands of Hu people can wipe out the Shu army even if it is consumed, so Adouguo retreats to the north.

More than an hour later, the vanguard of the Xianbei tribe of the Shu army arrived here.

When marching and fighting, the more people there are, the slower the marching speed, so the main force of the Hu people is not considered fast, on the contrary, the speed of the vanguard is much faster, so it only took an hour to arrive.

Looking at the corpses of the people all over the ground, or the arrows scattered everywhere, they carefully examined the wounds on the people and the wet blood on the ground, and the Xianbei people immediately understood that there had just been a big battle here not long ago.

The corpses of more than 20,000 people plus the corpses of war horses are so shocking when they are laid together! And what surprised the Xianbei people even more was that not a single Han corpse was found!

Could it be that the scene in front of the defeat immediately reminded the Xianbei generals who led the troops of this problem. The Han people were able to defeat the Qianren, which showed that the strength of the Han reinforcements was very strong, at least by virtue of this, the vanguard was not the opponent of the Han people, so the Xianbei general just sent people around to track down whether the Han people left traces when they retreated, and did not dare to rashly pursue Adou.

After another hour, Kebineng and his army also arrived.

The smell of blood wafting in the air made Kobi feel a little bad, and then, when Kebi could see the corpses of people all over the ground, he was also startled, and Kebi could secretly estimate that there were 15,000 to 20,000 corpses, and all of them were human beings in such a short period of time, the loss of 15,000 people can be imagined.

"Shan Yu, you see, there are all human corpses here, but there are no Han corpses? Could it be that the bodies of the Han people were all taken away? Liu Bao asked.

Kebineng shook his head: "It's a little uncomfortable, people have lost so many people, the loss of the Han people is definitely not a few, it is estimated that the Han people have lost at least 20,000 people, from the traces left by the Han camp, the Han people should have only been gone for a long time, in such a short time, it is absolutely impossible for the Han people to transport away 20,000 corpses." ”

"But there isn't even a single Han corpse in Li, is it cremated on the spot?" Liu Bao muttered.

A Xianbei general next to him interjected urgently: "King Zuo Xian, it shouldn't be like this, we have already investigated the vicinity, and there is no trace of cremation at all." ”

"That's buried!"

"It's also unlikely, and no new soil has been found nearby."

"Hell, did you disappear out of thin air?" The more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt.

Budugen next to him pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, maybe none of the Han people died, so they didn't leave a corpse." ”

"It can't be!" Kebineng and Liu Bao said at the same time.

"What's impossible, the Han people are scheming, maybe they have used some tricks." Budugen continued.

"By stratagem? Budugen, you see that this is a plain, you can see the horizon at a glance, what tricks can the Han people use! Moreover, the people died of external wounds, and the wounds were hidden in the front, so they should have been killed in the frontal battle. ”

"Hmph......" Budugen snorted coldly, there were no words, what Kebi could say was very reasonable, and Budugen had no room to refute.

Kebineng frowned slightly, and asked, "Which direction did the Han people run in that = that?" ”

"Hui Shan Yu, judging from the traces of the withdrawal of the Han people, they fled to the north." The general next to Kebineng immediately replied.

"North? To the north is Weishui! Why did the Han people run over there? Kobi could say to himself.

"Maybe the Han people are preparing to cross the Weishui and escape, as long as the Han people cross the Weishui, now the Weishui is abundant, but it is not the time of winter, and now our cavalry can't cross the Weishui at all, so as long as the Han army crosses the Weishui, we can't catch up." Liu Bao replied.

Pang Tong scuttled all the boats on the Weishui River at the beginning, so that the Hu people could not cross the river, and later, the Hu people waited until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to cross the river, when the amount of Weishui was very small, and in some places it even dried up, and the horses could find a shallow place to cross the Weishui successfully. Now that it has entered the summer, the amount of Weishui water has gradually become abundant, and without boats, the Hu cavalry cannot cross the river.

Hearing Liu Bao say this, Bu Dugen suddenly laughed, and there was a bone of ridicule in his laughter. Liu Bao naturally heard that there was a different flavor in Budugen's laughter, and immediately said angrily: "Budugen, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Laughing at what? Of course laughing at you! The Han Chinese crossed the Weishui ...... Amusing...... Hahaha...... What did the Han people use to cross the Weishui? Now there are not a few boats on Weishui at all, and there are so many people in the Han army, how do they live? Can't they all swim through? Do you think that the Han people have such good water properties? ”

Whether it is the Xianbei people or the Huns, they have all grown up on horseback since childhood, and basically all of them are landlubbers and cannot enter the water. Nowadays, there are not a few boats on the Weishui, which is not enough to transport the army, of course, the Weishui can also swim through, but in the summer, the Weishui water flow is rapid, the water volume is large, and the river surface is also wide, unless it is a person with a particularly good water nature who can swim through, it is difficult for ordinary water-based people to swim through the Weishui.

"Alright, don't make any noise." Kebineng's face sank, and then said: "No matter why the Han people fled to the north, let's just catch up and see." If those Han people can't cross the river, it just so happens that this Weishui River is the burial place of the Han people! ”

……

At the same time, Adou also reached the Weishui River.

As the largest tributary of the Yellow River, Weishui also has similar characteristics to the Yellow River, that is, the above-ground river.

If the water level of Weishui is low, the water of the Yellow River will be poured back into the Weishui, and in the summer, the flow rate of the Weishui is not worse than that of the Yellow River, and it is not easy to swim through the turbulent river.

Although Pang Tong scuttled the ships on the Weishui River, there were always a few fish that slipped through the net, and the Shu army could also make rafts nearby. But none of this was enough to support the 30,000-strong army to cross the river, and the boats and wood were just to help transport some supplies.

If it were an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that they would be trapped by the Weishui River, but these rattan armor soldiers under Adou's command are different. You must know that in addition to the invulnerability of rattan armor, there is another characteristic, that is, the water is not sinking, and if the main and auxiliary rattan armor are tied and placed in the river, they can even be used as boats.
