Chapter 51: The True Colors of the Strong Crossbow
After several cavalry trampling on the ground, dust began to rise, and dust drifted all over the sky, covering the army behind the cavalry.
Yuan Shao couldn't sit still on the high platform, he quickly stood up, leaned forward, and his eyes were wide open.
"Can you stop it? Can those 800 people stop it? β
Tian Feng didn't dare to look at it anymore, he was a scholar, not from the army, but he had presided over military affairs, so he had some experience.
Frustratedly, he said: "Gongsun Chan came with all his might, I'm afraid ...... Can't stop it! β
Yuan Shao said loudly: "Then what should I do?" Let Lu Xiang and Guo Yuan's flank troops go up! β
"Now we can't move around, we can only let them stand still, in case the whole army is wiped out in the camp first, they have to block the aftermath." β
Yuan Shao's face was oozing with sweat, and he regretted his decision for the first time.
Yuan Xi's face also oozed sweat, and his feelings were a little more direct. His ass sat on the ground, and he only felt his whole body tremble up and down, and his skin was numb. It was already scary to stand and watch the cavalry rush in, and if it was to sit down and watch, it would be simply torture. It's like riding a roller coaster, gambling your life and death.
"General, it's all up to you this time!"
But before Koji could make a move, the cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to shoot arrows.
These white horse servants were all the top riders, with swords in their hands, and they could also draw bows and arrows at the same time, and taking advantage of the wind, the first wave of bows and arrows cut a wonderful arc in the air and smashed down on the heads of eight hundred people.
Xu yelled with big eyes: "Fuck! β
I saw that his shield was pierced by an arrow, the tip of the arrow was sharp, and the skin on his arm was scratched, and the blood flowed profusely. If this arrow goes a little deeper, maybe the arm will be useless. Bleeding though, he still held his shield, and as soon as he lowered it, the door opened for those behind him.
"Hold on!" At this time, even if it was Yuan Xi, there were only these two words.
Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was a hundred paces away, and the second volley came.
The rumbling sound of galloping horses filled the air, and only on the dam did Yuan Xi hear this kind of noise, which was like a white waterfall rushing down, galloping and turbulent, and very orderly.
After shooting this arrow, the cavalry on the horse put away their bows and arrows, leaned down, and picked up their sabers, while the light cavalry in the rear continued to shoot arrows. They want to make it impossible for these eight hundred people to lift their heads, so that the white horse charge can completely tear each other apart.
Finally Koji's roar was heard from the rear: "Stand upβ"
This voice, for Yuan Xi and others, is like a heavenly sound.
A thousand strong crossbowmen had been pretending to be dead on the ground for a long time, and when they heard this command, they responded violently. One by one, they lifted the blankets on their bodies, and in an instant, the dust flew up, and the dirt sprinkled on the blankets flew all over the sky.
"What's that?" Yuan Shao suddenly shouted.
Frustrated: "It's an ambush!" β
Tian Feng praised: "Sure enough, it's a general." β
Yuan Shao leaned forward, clenched his fists, and no longer cared about Tian Feng's slip of the tongue at this time. In fact, in the first camp, Koji Yoshishi will always be a general.
The crossbowmen were quick to prepare, and as soon as they stood up, they had already placed their arrows. At this time, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, and the sound of the wind that was still whirring just now suddenly stopped.
Koji Yoshi's spirits lifted.
"God help me...... Get ready to shoot! β
Gongsun Zhan only felt that there was a flower in front of him, he was at the back, always keeping an eye on the front, but at this time, the white horse cavalry had already entered the rhythm of the charge, and it was in vain to give any orders. Anyway, it's just a little ambush, and it won't affect the result. Koji Yoshi, you're too late after all.
Whoosh!
The situation on the field changed suddenly, and the white horse cavalry in the front row had already shown their fangs, and was about to engulf the eight hundred sword and shield soldiers, when a row of strong crossbows suddenly fired in unison from the rear. At this moment, the people's hearts immediately died. I saw a whole row of men and horses fall in the rolling red dust in various postures, and before they even had time to exclaim, they were hit by the horses' hooves behind them. The horses behind leaped up and leaped out of the flying dust. They were greeted by more intense crossbow fire, and the cavalry in the back row did not expect this sudden change at all.
One of the horses, which had been hit by an arrow, was disturbed, and his front hooves went limp, and he suddenly fell to his knees, and the horsemen on the horse suddenly fell forward. He fell heavily to the ground, and when he was about to struggle to stand up, the back of his neck suddenly felt cold, and a knife slashed through him happily, and the hot blood in his body sprayed outward, and his eyes suddenly went black.
Yuan Xi shouted: "Brothers, kill!" β
Eight hundred sword shield hands suddenly rose up. They have already been shot into hedgehogs on the ground, and they are all holding a sulk in their chests, and at this time, they still don't vent out? One by one, like tigers descending from the mountain, they headed towards the lone white horse cavalry.
With a wave of his hand, the third and fourth waves of strong crossbows were fired, shooting towards the opponent's cavalry array. At the same time, I sighed in my heart: If you give me another 2,000 cavalry at this time, 1,000 will do, but you have to kill Gongsun Zan and can't find his way home.
Just after two rounds of crossbow arrows rained out, the white horse team suffered a heavy blow, the first few rows of cavalry fell one after another, and the cavalry behind were also frightened, and their speed suddenly slowed down. Occasionally, a few horsemen came out, and they were also surrounded, and the eight hundred sword and shield men cut off the horse's feet, and cut off the horse's head, in short, these lone cavalrymen made their lives suspicious. And more cavalry were taken aback and turned ahead of time, and in this case, to continue to move forward was simply to death.
When the cavalry lost speed, the threat was greatly reduced.
Gongsun Chan roared from behind: "Keep going, keep rushing forward, don't retreat!" β
But his own soldiers had already taken hold of his reins and halted his advance.
"My lord, get out of here."
"Ahhh
The sword and shield hand in front of him rushed fast, Xu Dayan was injured in one hand, and he had simply thrown the shield to the ground, charged up with a knife with his bare hands, and chased the horse's ass for a while. Those cavalry came quickly, and ran fast, for fear of being shot by stray arrows, they whipped their horses, and those white horses, who were already divine horses, had already sensed the danger, and at this time they were running even more desperately.
Yuan Shao on the stage was still in a daze, and said in frustration: "Lord, hurry up and pursue!" β
Yuan Shao came to his senses and ordered: "The whole army is attacking!" β
The troops below had long been dumbfounded. Koji's first battalion actually fought back under the charge of the opponent's superior cavalry. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's order, I'm afraid they would have been in a daze for a longer time.
The left and right wings, Lu Xiang and Guo Yuan, took the lead in killing out. For a while, the shouting was like thunder.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan's mid-formation encountered the impact of his own cavalry first, and he immediately fell into chaos. They had already seen the defeat of the cavalry in front of them and were worried. And Gongsun Zhan, who was dressed in silver armor in sight, also looked panicked, and didn't know who shouted: "Defeated!" There was a boom, and everyone turned around and ran.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, the morale is scattered, and the position cannot be suppressed. Gongsun Zhan mainly relied on a small number of cavalry on weekdays, although these infantry were large in number, but they were negligent in training, so they were not strong enough, and after suffering defeat, the white horse battalion, which had always won a hundred battles, was defeated, and these people were frightened.
After Koji's crossbowmen shot the fourth arrow, the crossbow was actually not very effective, and he ordered the crossbow to be abandoned and drawn, and everyone rushed forward.
Gongsun Zhan's outfit is so eye-catching, no matter where he runs, there are always a lot of people behind him. He ran towards his camp, but there were pawns everywhere along the way, and he couldn't speed up at all.
Someone in the rear suddenly shouted: "Gongsun old thief, eat me with a knife!" β
He heard a sound in the air, a loud sound of breaking wind, and a short knife beckoned to the back of his head.
Gongsun Chan was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse, and there was only one thought in his heart.
"My life is at stakeβ"
