Chapter 2096: I Never Expected It

However, the victory of this battle is destined to be very difficult, in this regard, Zhuge Liang still has a clear understanding, the elite of the soldiers under Lu Bu, it can be seen through the situation on the battlefield that the enemy army can be described as fearless of death when fighting, most of the soldiers in the army are like this, which gave Zhuge Liang a great shock.

"Strategist, something is wrong." A general rode up and shouted, pale.

When the soldiers along the way saw this, they all turned their eyes to the scouts who delivered the news, and their expressions were full of doubts, their own soldiers had just gained an advantage on the battlefield, and the scouts had unexpectedly sent bad news, which would always make them feel uneasy.

Now on the battlefield where the two sides are fighting, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army occupy an absolute advantage in the front army in the direction of the Chinese army, which is also the pride of the generals of the Yizhou Army.

Of course, this is only the idea of the Chinese army to the front of the army, if the eyes of the battle are shifted to the west, no matter any of the generals of the Yizhou army see the situation here, I believe that there can only be shock, the soldiers of the Yizhou army on the west side are under the attack of the enemy, and they are defeated and retreated, and there is even a one-sided situation on the battlefield. It is more than enough to deal with the soldiers of the Yizhou army.

"What's going on ahead, tell me in detail." Zhuge Liang said with a low face, looking at this scout's eyes full of killing intent, shouting so loudly near the Chinese army, what kind of feelings will the soldiers in the army have after hearing it, no matter how the battle in front has changed, as a scout, you must put the feelings of the generals and soldiers in front, and you can't affect an army because of personal emotions.

The general also realized his gaffe, but the situation on the battlefield was absolutely terrible for the Yizhou army.

"Military division, there is an enemy crossbow army on the battlefield on the west side, and our army cannot be stopped under the attack of the crossbow army, and now more than 2,000 soldiers have been killed!" The general hurriedly said.

Zhuge Liang's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "It's just the enemy's strong crossbow army, what's so terrible, order the shield soldiers to step forward and block the pace of the strong crossbow army, and order Wu Yi to lead the crossbow army to continue to raid the enemy's Chinese army, there must be no mistake." ”

"Strategist, the shield soldiers on the right side of the battlefield have rushed forward, but the results achieved are not very good, half of the shield soldiers have been damaged, and the shields in their hands are difficult to block the enemy's crossbow arrows." The general said.

Liu Bei said: "Impossible, our army's shield soldiers, but from the battlefields of Fuguan and Mianzhu retreated from the defenders, at the beginning on the battlefields of Fuguan and Mianzhu, it was difficult for the enemy's crossbow arrows to penetrate the shield." ”

"Lord, it's not that the crossbow arrows of the strong crossbow army have caused heavy casualties to the shield soldiers, but that there are also ballistas among the enemy troops, and after these crossbow carts arrive on the battlefield, they can shoot a steady stream of crossbow arrows, causing huge casualties to the shield." The general said.

Zhuge Liang's heart shook, the ballista is an absolute secret in the Yizhou army, and it is a means for Zhuge Liang to make a strange victory, but he didn't expect that there are also ballistas in the enemy army. ”

After listening to the general's familiar face, Zhuge Liang had a bad feeling.

When the two armies fought a decisive battle, the Chang'an army had too many places for him to watch out for, first of all, the enemy's cavalry, the cavalry on the east side had the cavalry led by Zhang Fei as a containment, and on the battlefield on the west side, it was the cavalry that relied on foot soldiers to block the enemy's cavalry, Zhuge Liang believed that the enemy's cavalry would not be easily dispatched, these cavalry were one of the important means for Lu Bu to finally achieve victory, and they were more to deter their own army when they were initially on the battlefield.

The second is the elite of the Changna army, whether it is trapped in the camp, the first to die or the halberd, the Modao army, they are extremely powerful on the battlefield, the appearance of the Modao army made the cavalry of the Yizhou army pay a heavy price, and the other three teams, as long as they appear on the battlefield, must be unstoppable, they can affect the direction of the war to a certain extent, such an elite is terrible.

Zhuge Liang is also afraid of these elites, in the Yizhou army, there are two elite foot soldiers, white ear elite soldiers and heavy armor soldiers, two elite foot soldiers, can only block the elite of the two enemy armies, if you want to completely block the four elites of the enemy army, it is a big problem, Zhuge Liang's response method is to rely on the breakthrough of the crossbow army, so that the elite of the enemy army has to step forward to block the breakthrough of the crossbow army, if the crossbow army is reckless on the battlefield, even the elite of the enemy army is difficult to stop, Otherwise, can it still be called the killer weapon of the Yizhou Army?

It can be seen from the situation of the euphorbia on the battlefield that this is the elite of the Chang'an army, and when facing the crossbow army on the battlefield, it was defeated and retreated, and was almost wiped out on the battlefield, which is the absolute power brought by the crossbow army on the battlefield.

There is also an elite of the enemy army, which is what worries Zhuge Liang the most, that is the enemy's strong crossbow army, the strong crossbow army led by Chen Zhi, has received special attention from Zhuge Liang, if Chen Zhi learns about such a situation, what will he think.

In Zhuge Liang's view, what can cause the greatest casualties to the arrows of the Yizhou army is the strong crossbow army, and the destructive power of the strong crossbow army on the battlefield is not weaker than that of its own crossbow army, and the same is true in terms of offensive ability.

So Zhuge Liang ordered the craftsmen in the army to build huge shields overnight to defend against the enemy's crossbow arrows.

What he never expected was that there were ballistae in the enemy army, and the enemy's ballista was the biggest blow to Zhuge Liang, and he was sure that Lu Bu had already built a ballista in front of Yizhou, but he only used it when he was fighting against the Yizhou army.

"Order our soldiers to stop the enemy's repeaters at all costs." Zhuge Liang ordered.

After the herald rushed to the battlefield, Zhuge Liang set his eyes on the general who had just passed the order and said: "Tell me in detail about the situation of the enemy's crossbow carts, and don't have the slightest omission. ”

After listening to the situation on the battlefield, not only Zhuge Liang, but even Liu Bei's face was as low as water, the means that the Yizhou army relied on the most, and now it has become a joke in front of the enemy, and there is clearly a repeater among the enemy army, but in the previous battle, the Yizhou army did not let the enemy take out the strength of the repeater.
