The battle was about to break out, and the first to attack were the left and right battalions of the Crane Army, and their movements were uniform, first with longbow throwing, followed by a hard crossbow strike. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info far beyond the range of the Han army's crossbowmen, began to shoot in multiple stages.

"Buzz!" Dense bursts of arrows burst out on the ground······

"Whoosh ······" There were black dots whistling in the air.

Zhang Jun looked up, only to see countless black shadows gradually slowing down in the high place, and then accelerating down. Jingling like a hailstone, the Han army on the opposite side suddenly screamed, and some people kept falling to the ground and screaming bitterly. The rain of arrows continued, and countless angry roars grew louder and louder across the wilderness.

Zhang Jun's investment in the weapons of the conquest army is sparing, although the divine arm crossbow is still in the research and development stage, and the manufacture of the torsion stone machine is also very slow, but in the bow and crossbow, it is definitely beyond the level of the times, and the range alone is enough to make the enemy miserable.

Looking at Hu Shuo on the right wing, he was holding a long-handled clapper knife made of stainless steel in his hand, with the knife edge downward, his back on the side, and he strode forward. He was dressed in the latest type of hydraulic stamped steel armor and wore an iron helmet with a brim. The hideous mask had been lowered, his steps were heavy, and he stepped on the ground as a striking footprint, followed closely by the 1,500 men of the right battalion of the Hujie Army.

The left flank of the enemy army was originally composed of garrisons, and it was barely enough to make do with all kinds of places and shocks in normal times, where had I seen such a tiger and wolf army? Coupled with the bow and crossbow of the crane control army, it has long been miserable.

"Ahh

Hu Shuo stared at the round tiger, suddenly shouted, the sound resounded throughout the whole army, raised the long knife flat, and rushed forward. Before he could rush to the front row of the Han army, the soldiers saw such a battle and actually took two steps back, as if a strong air current was stirring them.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Hurry up and release the arrows!"

One of the lords of the Han army on the opposite side screamed desperately, and his crossbowmen were ordered, and hurriedly pulled out the arrows in the quiver at his waist, and shot them out without looking. On the battle array, if the soldiers had not experienced the life-and-death struggle, they would be weak when they were nervous, and they saw that these arrows shot out softly, even if they were on the body of the soldiers of the right battalion of the Liang Army Hujie, they were bounced away by the steel armor.

"Youkai······ Monster! ”

The shock of invulnerability magnified the fear of the left wing of the Han army infinitely, and they only needed to add one more straw to collapse!

Hu Shuo has practiced the battle method of the sword formation with his subordinates many times, and even if he closes his eyes, they can maintain a good formation. At this time, the results of Zhang Jun's strict requirements for the conscription army were revealed, and what he wanted was to advance like a wall and be uniform, so that he could gallop vertically and horizontally, and he would be invincible.

I saw that the 1,500 people in the right battalion of Hujie relied on the heavy body momentum, turned around suddenly, swept the slap knife into it, and suddenly there was a sound of weapons colliding, and Hu Shuo took advantage of the situation to lead his subordinates into the crowd. The slap knife can be chopped and stabbed, and the right battalion of the Hujie Army around him is full of tall and powerful men, and the dance is even more powerful.

Suddenly, the sound of weapons and armor rubbing against each other made people's teeth ache, and the violent impact was very crazy. People are poked like animals wrapped in iron skin, and the moves have lost their effectiveness, and only strength can solve the problem. Can the steel armor of the Liang soldiers be comparable to the sleeve armor of the Han army? Even if he was stabbed in the chest from the front, it only left a dent, and even many powerful Liang sergeants were moving with their bodies against five or six spearheads.

The garrisons on the left side of the Han army panicked and fled everywhere for a while, shaking the surrounding array like a plague.

The two armies also began to fight head-on, and the left battalion of the Longxiang army, under the leadership of Wang Meng, began to charge in the face of a dense rain of arrows. Since they were heavy cavalry with men and horses, as long as the arrow did not happen to hit the eye, they were basically no threat. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves made the whole earth tremble, and the Han army general on the opposite side was obviously not incompetent, and as soon as he gave the order, these soldiers who were obviously much more elite raised their large shields one after another, and put countless spears on the card slots above the shields, and the other end was diagonally against the ground.

This is the most important tactic of the infantry army to defend the cavalry, and Zhang Jun used this hard steel to pass the Hun elite cavalry last winter. Unexpectedly, feng shui took turns, and Zhang Jun's command was about to break the formation.

In the face of the hedgehog-like spear array, Wang Meng raised the speed of his horse to the highest and marched forward bravely with a thousand iron horsemen. Fifty paces away from the enemy, they raised their throwing guns and threw them with the help of horsepower.

"Bang bang bang!" The shield array of the Han army seems to be solid, but in front of the short spear thrown with the help of horsepower at super high speed, it is like paper paste. Some of the Han soldiers hiding behind the big shield were directly nailed to the ground by the short guns thrown by the Liang army, and some had a certain part of their body pierced.

Under the tremendous damage, the shield array collapsed layer by layer, revealing the spearmen inside. The war horse that collapsed with all its strength was extremely fast. In an instant, the distance was only more than ten steps away. Wang Meng did not delay for a moment, took off the crossbow machine that had already been wound on the side of the saddle, and shot it when it was flat.

First, the spear was thrown to break the shield, and the later generations fired crossbow arrows. The Han army's originally strict formation suddenly turned into a sieve full of loopholes. When the Liang army rushed in, the Han army didn't even resist for a moment, and directly became lambs to be slaughtered.

The new style of saber that Zhang Jun gave to Long Xiangjun was called "hand knife", which was a sharp weapon formed in the Song Dynasty. As the name suggests, the hand knife is a kind of short-handled knife, and its shape has been different from the traditional ring-headed knife, but has undergone great changes; The cutting edge is curved and thin, while the spine is thicker, and the entire blade is not straight, but slightly arced from the blade to the ridge. This kind of knife is strong and powerful, and the curved shape of the blade is more in line with the mechanical principle when chopping, which not only strengthens the strength of the chop, but also does not break easily.

I saw that the knights of the left battalion of the Longxiang Army who rushed into the enemy formation raised their swords one after another, and they didn't use much force, just a light touch, they could effortlessly break through the armor of the Han army and directly cut people into two pieces.

The collapse of the Han army's left flank and frontal array was like a collapsing river embankment, and the area expanded rapidly, and even the right flank of the Han army retreated before engagement.

After a while, a large number of men and horses in the right battalion of the Longxiang Army led by Zhou Tong rushed into the boiling and chaotic battlefield on the left flank, driving the enemy to the center with crossbows and sabers. At this time, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and the festering place of the Han army was greatly torn open and spread to the depth.

The yellow dust seemed to be covered with a bloody red mist.

In the middle of the battle, Zhang Jun's legs were numb, and he was still staring at the battlefield in front of him, and he never gave a military order.

Suddenly, the Han army suddenly dispersed, the crowd turned around and ran, and the embankment collapsed!

The rebels poured into the gate of the city, crowded together, and arrows were released on the city, and the chaos on the battlefield was unbearable.

The Hujie Left Battalion led by Han Hu was completely useless in this battle, and was defeated before he could make a move, which made him very angry in his heart, so he had to take his subordinates to follow the horse team to eat dirt. The whole battlefield was in shambles, many wounded Han soldiers were falling to the ground and groaning, and some were running too slowly, only to be blocked by the Liang army in front and behind, and there was no way to escape but squat on the ground and surrender.

As a result, the Hujie Left Battalion completely turned into a team to contain prisoners and wounded soldiers, and began to search the battlefield in a dragnet style as a team to avoid fish pretending to be dead and slipping through the net.

The Han army was originally in a formation behind the city, and after the collapse, most of them were crowded in the middle, and there was no place to run, so they surrendered a lot. The people on the west side ran south from the flanks of the city, throwing away their armor and leaving the city in disarray.

The battlefield was still chaotic, screams and cries of pain could be heard everywhere, but the fierce large-scale clashes ended with the collapse of the main Han army. Zhang Jun led more than 20 guards to ride horses through the chaos and march to the foot of the city. I saw that the city gate was closed, and the city wall was full of swords and guns, and I sat back and watched the Han army below surrender.

The surrounding generals found Zhang Jun and gathered over to pay respects. They shouted one after another: "The governor of the capital is like a god with soldiers, and General Hu is a true god!" If you don't take the lead in breaking through the enemy's left flank, you may not be able to end the battle until it is dark. ”

Others shouted: "I didn't kill anyone in the back, I don't know why the Han army collapsed!" ”

Wang Meng also came over, looked back at Caohan City, and said, "If the rebels rushed into the city gate just now, let's just follow and kill them." ”

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "There must be a large amount of grain brought by reinforcements in the city. ”

He looked up and saw that there was no moat, only a ditch under the wall; The walls are rammed earth and look thick and sturdy. Zhang Jun looked back at the generals and asked, "How to attack the city?" ”

Someone said, "Siege and storm." ”

Zhang Jun couldn't help but think of the ant attachment in Jincheng led by Hu Yanwei last winter······ The scene was so tragic that it inadvertently left a deep shadow on his heart.

Another reckless general shouted: "I have captured so many people, drive them to dig the foot of the wall, and when they collapse, they will rush." If you can't dig it, it's not our people! ”

Chen Zhen on the side hurriedly said: "No! Please be cautious. Now it is just the beginning, if we are brutal to those who surrender, and the Han army behind us desperately resists, we will inevitably pay more casualties. The battle of the king division is not about how much he wins, but what kind of results he achieves. ”

Zhang Jun agreed very much, nodded and said: "What Chen Senjun said is very true, we are like a dignified king and a teacher. The purpose is to recover the homeland and free Han'er from the slavery of Hulu, how can he mutilate his compatriots? “

After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Our army will continue to fight, and we can't leave the prisoners in front, so we will immediately send someone to escort them across the river and hand them over to Dou Tao, the guard of Jinxing County." ”

Chen Zhen continued: "Whoever attacks the city, besiege the city first. Two hundred steps away from the city to build a fence, send troops to guard, and find an opportunity to rush out of the city to attack the camp. ”

Zhang Jun immediately adopted Chen Zhen's suggestion and asked him to be responsible for sending people to build a fence and deploy troops.

···················································

That night, the Liang army was still stationed under the city, Zhang Jun wrote a letter of earnest persuasion, and the next day he sent prisoners to sit in hanging baskets to deliver the letter. Unexpectedly, after a while, several heads were dropped in the city; The Ranger of the Long Xiang Army took out the bloodstained letter from the mouth of the head, which was the letter of persuasion written by Zhang Jun.

The generals were furious, and shouted and cursed at the towers. I saw a military general above standing there very calmly watching. Zhang Jun sat on the back of the horse, turned around when he saw this, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Take a bow from so-and-so!" ”

Everyone stopped scolding for a while, and they all looked sideways. This place is a hundred and fifty paces from the castle tower, and it is a high shot. Zhang Juntie's face was blue, he took a bow and arrows, and aimed at the city tower, but the general turned around and hid, looking greedy for life and afraid of death. Although he won the momentum, Zhang Jun was still annoyed in his heart, as if he had been adjusted······ The drama is so-so.

The generals immediately insulted the city again, and asked for battle to attack the city, Hu Shuo was even more angry, shouting at the top of his voice: "Attack it, slaughter the city!" ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Jun with anticipation, the early battle was very smooth, the morale of the generals was high, and the battle was urgent, those who had already made meritorious contributions wanted to continue to expand the results, and those who had not made meritorious contributions wanted to fight again. Zhang Jun took a long breath and said coldly: "The soldiers of my conquest army are all elite, and they must die in battle." went up to climb the wall, and was burned by the soup and fire, and it was a pity that it was damaged. ”

In the army, there were no catapults or rushing carts, only simple ladders. If you want to attack the city, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to climb the wall.

Saying this, some more rational generals echoed: "Although the Han army in Caohan is unbearable, it is indeed difficult to hide in it and defend it, if we want to attack, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

Someone else said: "The strength of Caohan City is limited, we might as well besiege it but not attack, and approach Lintao." ”

Zhang Jun didn't rush to answer, and paused before saying: "Lintao is still a hard bone, it is a well-known strong city, and if you want to attack Lintao, you need to cross the Taoshui first, we don't have a boat master, I'm afraid it's more difficult than climbing to the sky." ”

The general asked, "How is that good?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "The Huns' Zhuhan City is besieged, and it can't be without movement. Hold your breath first and see how they make a move. Many scouts were sent to inquire about the military situation. ”

In this way, the army gathered outside the city of Caohan and did not try to attack the city. For two days, there was no major movement on either side.

Nearly half of the time Han Pu promised to provide grain had passed earlier, and although he had captured a lot in the dock fort, he could not withstand the huge consumption of more than 10,000 people and horses.

Two days later, Zhang Jun had doubts about the raid······ Could it be that the long-conceived tactics of quick victory are just words on paper, too taken for granted? Do you have to fight a war or have to fight for a long time? I'm afraid the veteran Han Pu is really right.

But considering the retreat, Zhang Jun was still a little reluctant in his heart, obviously he had won the victory, did he want to end up in a tiger's head? Although the current results are not to be criticized, they are obviously not in line with their goals, and they are far from it!

At this moment, Zhou Tong, who was in charge of inquiring about the military situation, entered the account and said: "Dadu Governor, the Han army in Lintao has started!" ”
