Chapter 60: The Arrow Defeats the Three Armies
"Formation! Change the crossbow! ”
Seeing that the cavalry of the Cao army continued to approach, the crossbowmen of only a thousand people could no longer suppress the enemy army with a firing range, and the speed of the infantry was difficult to get rid of the cavalry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sword and shield men quickly formed a shield formation, and the spearmen in the rear placed their spears on their shields, while the crossbowmen quickly changed their repeaters and began to fire continuously.
"Not good!" In the rear, Xiahou Yuan's complexion changed, Gao Shun deliberately retreated, widening the distance between the cavalry and the infantry, and it was too late to retreat at this moment, so he immediately shouted: "Continue to charge!" ”
This is an opportunity to pile up with their lives, if they give up this opportunity, then all the previous sacrifices will be in vain, both Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan understand this truth, although the loss of the cavalry makes them feel distressed, but they have no choice.
"Kill~"
The continuous fall of the robe made the cavalry feel desperate, but at this moment, the momentum has been completed, even if it is forcibly stopped, it is no longer possible, a famous Cao Jun knight after despair, his eyes began to flash with a crazy light, and there were still more than a dozen steps, and there were already cavalrymen who threw the spear in their hands as a throwing spear at the enemy.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
In a series of muffled crashes, the spears were ricocheted off by the shields, but the crossbowmen were briefly suppressed.
"Kill~" The cavalryman who lost his weapon, looking at the dense spears of the other party, let out a desperate roar from his mouth, and did not slow down, but urged the horse speed to the maximum.
"Puff~"
The body was pierced by dense spears, but the huge inertia brought by the war horse knocked the spearman behind the shield away, or some war horses were lucky not to be pierced by the spear, and hit the shield fiercely, the strong shield can block the sharp spear, but it can't block the huge impact brought by the war horse, even the strongest sword and shield soldiers, under this terrifying impact, are still knocked away, causing a commotion in the strict formation, and the two infantry phalanxes that are still perfect have been pressed up from the two wings at this moment.
"Repeater crossbow shooting enemy rear formation, sword and shield hand, shield array attack!" Seeing that hand-to-hand combat was inevitable, Gao Shun ordered the crossbowmen to rain arrows into the enemy's rear formation, while the two thousand sword and shield men quickly formed a small phalanx of ten or eight people, and began to advance towards the infantry phalanx of Cao's army.
"Look for death!"
Seeing that the other party dared to meet his two infantry phalanxes with two thousand men, Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly, and the two infantry phalanxes began to press on the whole line.
"Puff~"
The arrow cluster kept harvesting the lives of the enemy, and at the same time, the soldiers on both sides also began to fight each other, and in fact, this sword and shield soldier of only two thousand people was not as easy to deal with as imagined, a group of ten people, quickly formed a small circle formation, the strong shield, ordinary knives and guns cut up, there was no way to cut through the opponent's defense, and the opponent's sword and shield hand, but the long sword in his hand continued to stab out along the gap between the shields, and clusters of blood continued to pour out from the gaps between the shields, while the other party's crossbowmen continued to retreat, At the same time, the repeater in his hand is constantly harvesting Cao Jun's life!
"Damn it!" Xiahou Yuan snorted, turned his head and said, "Crossbowman, suppress!" ”
Rows of Cao Jun crossbowmen holding big yellow crossbows quickly assembled and began to shoot at Cao Jun, the two stone big yellow crossbows were originally able to suppress the crossbows in range, but now the distance between the two sides has not been completely opened, they are also within the range of Gao Shun, and the advantage of the crossbow is undoubtedly revealed at this moment, less than the work of tea, the three rows of crossbowmen were almost wiped out under the suppression of the opponent's crossbows, but Gao Shun's side also began to appear battle damage, followed by the arrow clusters shot by the archers, It also made the crossbowmen who had not completely out of range fall in pieces.
"Change to a single crossbow!" Finally out of the range of the big yellow crossbow, Gao Shun did not hesitate to order all the crossbowmen to replace with a penetrating single-shot crossbow, at this moment Cao Jun was restrained by a group of sword and shield hands, huddled together, the penetrating single-shot crossbow can exert stronger lethality at the moment.
Seeing that Cao's casualties were getting heavier and heavier, but the shield soldiers on the other side were unable to break through, Xiahou Yuan was furious at the moment, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
Sitting down the war horse and starting to charge, the surrounding Cao Jun immediately made way of a passage, Xiahou Yuan frantically beat the horse and galloped wildly, bringing a gust of wind, and the war knife in his hand dragged on the ground, making a piercing buzz.
"Boom~" The war horse slammed into a shield fiercely, and the arm of the shield behind it made a cracking sound, and the whole person was directly knocked away, and a gap appeared in the originally tight shield array in an instant, Xiahou Yuan rushed in with his people and horses, and the sword and shield soldiers wanted to close the gap that appeared, but the surrounding Cao Jun had already poured in, and the shield array was instantly broken, and the remaining few sword and shield hands were instantly annihilated by Cao Jun who was holding his stomach.
"Pick up these shields for me!" Xiahou Yuan glanced at the shield on the ground, his eyes moved, the reason why Gao Shun dared to release the arrow without scruples was because his soldiers had a shield to protect him, and the extremely penetrating crossbow arrows could not penetrate this shield.
Immediately, the organic soldier picked up the shield and began to block the rain of arrows from Gao Shun's army, and sure enough, although this shield was wooden, it was extremely strong, even Gao Shun's single-shot crossbow could not shoot through, and Cao Jun let out a cheer.
"Come again!" Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he stared at the other team of crossbowmen.
"General!" In Gao Shun's camp, a crossbowman was about to shoot, but a big hand was on his crossbow, and he turned his head to look at Gao Shun suspiciously.
Gao Shun raised the single-shot crossbow, locked his eyes on Xiahou Yuan, snorted coldly, pulled the trigger, and with a hum, a crossbow arrow roared and shot at Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan instinctively felt a sense of crisis, and subconsciously hid, but nothing happened, but immediately after, the war horse under the crotch neighed, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly looked down, and suddenly his eyes were split, but he saw that his war horse's head was pierced by a sharp arrow, but fortunately, Xiahou Yuan's riding skills were exquisite, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he patted the horse's back and rose into the air.
"Poof~" At the moment when Xiahou Yuan rose into the air, another crossbow arrow broke through the air, Xiahou Yuan was in the air, he could only subconsciously twist his body, and a cold arrow cluster penetrated his shoulder, bringing up a puddle of blood.
"General!" A group of Cao Jun were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly surrounded the injured Xiahou Yuan in the middle.
"Damn it!" Xiahou Yuan's eyes were red and he glared at Gao Shun, but he saw that Gao Shun casually threw the single-shot crossbow in his hand to a crossbowman and continued to command the soldiers to attack.
Glancing at those shield soldiers, Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Go in and break through from the inside!" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing this, several guards agreed, and quickly came to the front of the shield array, the two warriors put their hands on the buckles, and the third guard stepped directly on the arms of the two, and with the help of the two, they rose into the air and jumped into the shield array.
"Kill!!" Cao Jun, who entered the shield array, did not take a closer look, raised the war knife in his hand and slashed around, although his body was pierced by two broadswords in an instant, but the shield array was also successfully broken.
"Here's what happened!" Seeing that it worked, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted.
"Kill!" A group of Cao army soldiers saw the morale array, and people continued to jump into the shield array to fight, but in an instant, two thousand sword and shield soldiers were annihilated under the angry tide of the Cao army, and at the same time, Xiahou Yuan also captured two thousand strong shields, but before he had time to launch a counterattack, he saw that Gao Shun had raised his arm high, looking at all this indifferently, Xiahou Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
The surrounding Lu Bu army quickly let go of a wide area, revealing rows of hideous army-breaking crossbows behind the crossbow array.
"Not good!" Although it was the first time he saw the appearance of the broken army crossbow, Xiahou Yuan knew that something was wrong.
"Put!" Gao Shun slashed his hand into the void fiercely.
"Bang~"
In a muffled sound, this time, the Broken Army Crossbow was not a projectile, but a near-flat shot, although the range was shortened, but the power of the arrow cluster was multiplied.
"Puff puff~"
The sturdy shield did not help Cao Jun escape the shroud of the nightmare, those five-foot-long sharp arrows bombarded the shield fiercely with violent power, which could resist the shield of continuous fire from a single crossbow, but it was unable to block this terrifying sharp arrow, many shields were directly shattered, even if they didn't, the sharp arrows that pierced the shield were enough to kill Cao Jun behind the shield.
"Withdraw your troops!"
Looking at the Lu Bu army under the command of Gao Shun, who began to shoot from both wings, Xiahou Yuan felt a strong helplessness in his heart, the front was a heavy crossbow that was more powerful than the God of War crossbow, and the two sides were single-shot crossbows with fast rate of fire and strong penetrating power, if they were closer, I am afraid that they would be the crossbows and the platoon crossbows to greet them, although the number of the other party was not large, but the Cao army also suffered heavy losses, and the people's hearts were disheartened, Xiahou Yuan had missed the best opportunity to destroy this army of soldiers and horses, he could only withdraw and retreat behind the shield car.
"Mingjin!" Gao Shun glanced at the place where Cao Jun's body was buried, where there were his two thousand sword and shield hands, sighed in his heart, and glanced at the direction of Cao Jun, the strength of the soldiers who controlled the broken army crossbow had been exhausted, and if they continued to fight, the casualties would be aggravated, this battle had already frustrated the spirit of Cao Jun, and the power of the new weapon had also been tried, and there was no need to continue to fight with Cao Jun here.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
In the crisp sound of gold, Gao Shun commanded the army to slowly retreat to the direction of the Tiger Pass, Xiahou Yuan watched Gao Shun also withdraw at the same time, his eyes changed, and he quickly reacted, the other party's terrifying heavy crossbow may not be able to continue shooting, if he held on a little longer just now......
Xiahou Yuan glanced at Cao Jun, who was looking happy around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the best result was probably only a miserable victory or even a defeat for both.
"Bell bell bell ~" At this time, the Cao army was in the rear, Cao Cao also ordered Ming Jin, Xiahou Yuan glanced at the place of the previous battle with a complicated face, although he successfully destroyed the two thousand shield soldiers, but the Cao army paid three or even four times the price, this battle, the Cao army's direct loss of troops, I am afraid it is close to 20,000, this battle ...... Can you really win? (To be continued.) )
