"My lord, the enemy army is beginning to assemble, and it seems that they are planning to launch a general attack!" Early in the morning, the sentinels patrolling the watchtower hurriedly reported to the generals directly under the central government, who reported to Lu Bu, who reported to Li Ming.

Glass has been studied, so the monocular has naturally been developed, but only two lenses are grinded, and there is no way to grind it by machine, it can only be ground by hand, and the cost has increased a lot. Relying on this, observing the enemy camp from the lookout, the layout of the opponent can be seen almost clearly.

"Looks like their layout was discovered by them? It's just that now, I see what they will do to go out to the rescue! Li Ming smiled coldly, he was forcing the imperial army to look around through the maximum unconventional offensive.

For example, now that they have to go out to support, then in the case of running all the way, at least many soldiers have to be attrition due to heat stroke. Even if it's okay, running all the way over will inevitably consume a lot of water, and it will be soft before you hit the legs, let alone rescue, it's good to be able to protect yourself.

The weather is much hotter than three days ago, and the sun is very poisonous. Even if the battle can only be fought during the day or in the afternoon, if it is fought until noon, then there is no need for blood, and the sweat left on the hand can make the weapon go.

This is a period of time that is destined to be a protracted war, otherwise it will be pure attrition. Whether or not to fight so fiercely depends on whether the other party has the courage, but now it seems that Liu Ting is obviously forced to be really angry.

"What about Lao Tzu's eight-bull crossbow? Take it out for me! Li Ming shouted, Chen Heng grinned when he heard this, and immediately ordered the bed crossbow to be pushed out. This eight-ox crossbow is modeled after the Song Dynasty eight-ox crossbow, this thing is also known as the three-male bed crossbow, with three crossbows through a series of mechanical principles to shoot out the huge crossbow arrows, the ancient craftsmen created a boutique war weapon.

More than fifty eight-bull crossbows were pushed out, and at the same time the catapults were ready to throw stones, the distance had been calibrated to a mile away, the bed crossbows had been aimed, and the enemy had reached 300 meters to shoot. And the most powerful rhubarb crossbow in this era, the maximum range is 400 meters, and it can shoot the infantry behind the shield up and down 320 meters; In order to maximize the lethality of the bed crossbow, it is best to shoot around 400 meters, and if you shoot within 300 meters, you can completely skewer.

"They look like they're going to use skirmishers!" Zhang Liao looked at the enemy's position with a telescope, and the soldiers on their side were scattered, and they were actually in a unit, and there was some distance between the two sides.

"It's up to your cavalry to give you a boost!" Li Ming said casually.

"The most elite you have been transferred to Youzhou, and you have left the second-level alternate cavalry unit for us, how can you fight? Beat the side drums at most and clean up the mess! Lu Bu complained directly.

"The hoplites didn't leave you behind, but the light cavalry also had a lot of equipment!" Li Ming spread his hands. The light cavalry numbered only about 10,000 men, but each man was armed with a crossbow, fifty rounds of crossbows, as well as a rifle and a machete.

Medium-range crossbows harass the enemy, mounted spear assault, machete for pursuit. The armor is all fish scale armor, which is pressed out by a hydraulic press, which seems to be light and thin, but because of the problem of casting process, it is stronger than ordinary iron armor.

"Gotta have it, what you say is reasonable, when will you marry my daughter?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, yes, wait here!

"Speaking of which, there's something I want to tell you about. Your daughter disappeared some time ago, and Mrs. Zhu Rong, Meng Shu and Meng Wei from Wanling Academy and Wanling Military Academy disappeared during the same period. I won't say anything about Meng and Meng Wei preparing to graduate, it is said that Mrs. Zhurong and your daughter are still best friends. Li understood Lu Bu and glanced at him.

"Where's my daughter?" Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, his daughter was actually missing, it was a big deal. You know, he's such a precious girl under his knees.

"I got on the boat and followed Zhang Mo to Wajima. The inventor found that two supply crates that were supposed to be delivered to the bed were still in the warehouse. It has already been counted once when it can be loaded on the ship, and the materials transported should be sufficient. So the question arises, what are the contents of the two extra supply boxes? Li Ming briefly compared the size of the box.

"My daughters have spoiled me...... They're not in danger, are they? Lu Bu suddenly became worried.

"Worry about the enemy in front of you! If they do, I'll have to deal with you with military law!" Li Ming pointed to the enemy soldiers in front of him who had begun to assemble and launch a general attack.

"I'll deal with them right away, and we'll talk about my daughter later!" Lu Bu hurriedly got on his horse, and then took Zhang Liao and the cavalry troops and killed them.

"How old are they, and they're frizzy." Li Ming shook his head, "Send them a signal!" ”

Guo Jia, who was behind him, nodded when he heard this, took out a bamboo tube and held it high above his head, pulled it suddenly, and a signal flare whistled out, making a sharp sound, and exploded at the same time at the highest point.

This is a kind of fireworks application skills, you can hear some sounds from five miles away, if you can see the fireworks five miles away at night, but unfortunately the effect is much worse during the day. The key Xiao Yao's guerrilla army is not far from here, it is said that they have rushed over here in Dingying two days ago, and they will not be too far from here.

Xiao Yao's large army is indeed very close to here, but they have made a little detour, and the goal is to directly reach the right side of Linying, and the goal is to launch a brazen surprise attack, directly attack the enemy's camp, and if necessary, they will also go over to support the headquarters.

The problem is that there is a bull like Li Ming in the headquarters, so Xiao Yao has a bolder idea.

"Whew...... Boom! Hearing a sharp voice from a distance, Xiao Yao understood that it was Li Ming's signal to let them pass. Now it will take more than ten minutes to reach the destination in the past, after all, it is still necessary to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers.

"The enemy launched a general offensive...... It seems that the stealing camp is out of play! Xiao Yao sighed, "The whole army listens to the order, marches at an even speed, and is ready for battle!" Switch from stealing the camp to rescuing friendly troops! ”

At the same time, the troops, mainly Sun Ce, had already killed within 500 meters. Naturally, the catapult directly shot out the stone bullets, not the kind of scattered bullets, but real stone bullets.

"Spread out!" Sun Ce shouted, and the soldiers dispersed one after another, they had more room to disperse, and in three days, they also learned the means of spreading to the left and right, so that they would no longer be pushed against each other, but the number of casualties would further increase.

Rao is like this, there are still many soldiers who are directly stoned to death and injured, and the stone bullets will bounce when they fall on the ground, and sometimes the rebound is irregular, so the soldiers can't hide. It's just that Sun Ce can't care so much, so he can only order to continue to rush forward, under the general attack, Liu Ting has already spoken, not caring about the number of deaths.

"Shoot!" Chen Heng shouted, and the Eight Bull Crossbows began to shoot, fifty crossbow arrows shot flat, and then pierced into the chest or body of the soldiers in front of them, knocking them back two steps without saying a word, and even the soldiers behind them penetrated.

The shooting of the catapult and the eight-bull crossbow made Sun Ce quite heartbroken, after all, nearly a thousand people had been killed at once, and he had not been able to touch the enemy's edge.

"Crossbowmen, shoot back!" Seeing that the enemy was in front of him, Sun Ce immediately gave an order.
