Xue Ne and Wang Haibin glanced at each other and stopped talking.

"Hurry up and eat! After eating, there is still a good show to watch! Zhang Baoer finished eating the distillation in his hand in two bites.

"Dingguo Gong, do you think the Khitans will attack today?" Wang Haibin asked softly.

"What do you mean? They will definitely attack! Zhang Baoer got up and said.

"So what do we do?"

"What to do? Defend! I can't fight them with these 800 men, can I? ”

Wang Haibin was speechless for a moment, Zhang Baoer was right, they now have no second way to go except to defend with all their might. But with this alone, can they prevent it? Wang Haibin didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.

When the sun rose high, the cavalry of the Khitan and Xi coalition launched an attack. At first, of course, it was a tentative attack.

The enemy's cavalry rushed from all directions, but Zhang Bao'er was unmoved, just watched quietly.

Wang Haibin was a little breathless, and he urged on the side: "Dingguo Gong, why don't you send crossbow arrows, the enemy has already rushed to a distance of two hundred steps." ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled and said: "Just this person, it's not worth my use of crossbow arrows!" Just look at it! ”

Wang Haibin had to say something, Xue Ne said on the side: "The crossbow is the best when the enemy is in a dense formation, you see that this time the enemy cavalry attacked from three directions at the same time, there were only about 3,000 people, the formation was scattered, and it was not appropriate to use crossbow arrows." ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded and said, "Xue Shuai is still right!" Wang Duwei, do you know, this crossbow arrow is ten taels of silver, if the damage is not much, it is not worth it, I don't want to do such a loss-making business. ”

As he spoke, the Khitan cavalry had reached about 100 paces.

Someone in the formation gave the order: "Shoot!" ”

I saw that the Luzhou regiment training soldiers in the formation circled around the cart, raised their bows and shot at the cavalry outside the formation, and in just three rounds, half of the enemy's cavalry fell.

Wang Haibin couldn't help but cheer: "I didn't expect that the cavalry of Dingguo Gong got off the horse, and the archery skills were so good." ”

Zhang Bao'er seemed to remember something after listening to Wang Haibin's words, and he said to the herald: "Pass my order, withdraw half of the people, and the rest of the people continue to shoot the enemy cavalry." ”

"Yes!" The starter immediately conveyed the flag order.

Wang Haibin was very curious, and he was about to ask a question, when Xue Ne smiled on the side: "Dingguo Gong, you hide your strength, but in order to let the other party use fuel tactics?" ”

"Old Xue Ye, who knows me!" Zhang Bao'er gave a thumbs up and said, "Since they are a temptation, of course I won't let them test our reality and reality." ”

After half of the people withdrew, the arrows fired in the formation were much sparser, but the accuracy was still the same. Although some of the cavalry rushed to a distance of twenty paces from the chariot formation, only a hundred and ten men remained, and there was no impact left.

After a bull's horn sounded, the remaining cavalry turned and sped away from their own formation. Arrows were no longer released in the array, but they were allowed to flee.

"Let's go, let's rest for a while! There's going to be an even bigger wave of attacks soon! ”

With that, Zhang Bao'er walked towards the center of the formation, and Xue Ne and Wang Haibin followed closely behind him.

Some auxiliaries were loading arrows into the crossbow bow, and Wang Haibin saw it and said strangely: "This crossbow still has an arrow magazine?" ”

"Could it be a repeater?" Xue Ne guessed.

Zhang Bao'er nodded and said, "It's a repeater, but it's a pity that you can only send six arrows at a time." ”

"No wonder you have such auxiliaries, without them, it would have taken a lot of effort just to load the crossbow arrows!"

Wang Haibin saw that some auxiliary soldiers were loading something on the ash pole, and asked puzzledly: "Dingguo Gong, what are they doing?" ”

"Do the throwing gun! The head of the gun is mounted on the ash rod and fixed, and it becomes a throwing gun. Zhang Bao'er added: "The cavalry enters the chariot formation within thirty paces, and this spear is much more effective than the bow and arrow." ”

At the beginning, the Luzhou regiment practiced a competition with Li Sijing's government soldiers, Xue Ne and Wang Haibin were very strange, how could he carry so many ash rods with the army, and now they finally understand that it was originally for throwing guns.

Just after noon, the Khitan and Xi cavalry launched an attack on the chariot formation all over the mountains, about 10,000 people. This time, Zhang Baoer was unceremonious, and all thirty ballistas began to fire crossbow arrows. Because the formation of the Khitan cavalry was much denser, the power of the crossbow arrows was fully exerted, and each giant arrow could harvest several lives.

At the same time, the weakness of the ballista was exposed, and it took a lot of time to use the winch to catch the arrow after each arrow. Although the archery skills practiced by the Luzhou regiment were accurate, they could not withstand the large number of people, and the cavalry of the Qixi coalition army was very fast, and they quickly rushed to within 100 steps of the gap.

However, the Luzhou regimental training did not seem to be flustered, they put down their strong bows and began to shoot with repeaters, because each repeater could fire six arrows in a row, the arrow rain was very dense, and the cavalry suddenly fell down. When the cavalry came within thirty paces, one after another threw their spears at the opponent with precision.

Wang Haibin was an eye-opener in the formation, it turned out that the battle could still be fought like this, he really couldn't understand why the Khitans, who had always been extremely strong, had become lambs who were wantonly killed at this moment. At this moment, a vision flashed through his mind: moths throwing fire.

When the horns of the Khitans sounded again, the cavalry that rushed like a tide once again withdrew in disarray, but the number of people at low tide was nearly half less than when attacking.

The cavalry of the Qixi coalition army was full of dead and wounded cavalry, and the two attacks before and after made the Qixi coalition army pay a huge price, but they never broke through the car formation, and the Luzhou regiment had almost no losses.

Zhang Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that today's attack is over, and we can notify them to collect the corpses." ”

The Qixi coalition army really did not attack again, and after the Luzhou regimental training sent someone to inform them, they arranged for soldiers to come and collect the body.

The last red glow of dusk fell on the endless grass covered with sores and wounds, and the water of the Xiaoluan River behind the car array made a "whooshing" sound, which ingested the human ear. The car formation of the Luzhou regiment is still the same, although the Khitan camping formation is much larger than the car formation, from the faces of the Khitan soldiers who clean the battlefield, it is obvious that they are tired and helpless, and their momentum is not as good as yesterday.

Wang Haibin said with excitement on his face: "Dingguo Gong, do you want to harass them tonight?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Bao'er said mysteriously: "But there is still a good show tonight!" ”

"Dingguo Gong, you don't want to steal the camp, do you?" Wang Haibin's mouth opened wide.

"Any questions?" Zhang Baoer asked rhetorically.

"There are so many people in Luzhou regimental training, and you dare to steal the camp?"

Zhang Bao'er smiled: "That's right, even you think it's impossible, and the Khitan people can't even think of it, which is called surprise." ”
