"What kind of weapon is this?" Li Dayu muttered to himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Sanger, who caught up from behind, said: "This must be the Tang Army's crossbow, I didn't expect them to have a repeating crossbow, and it is so powerful!" ”

"How's that okay?" Li was also a little discouraged.

Sanger was not worried at all, he smiled: "It doesn't matter, although this crossbow is hugely powerful, it also has a certain range, as long as it is outside the range, it has no effect." Besides, this thing must be expensive, and he won't have much. All we have to do is surround them and wait until they run out of food, or before long they will be dead. ”

Sanger is right, he can kill the enemy in a single blow from a long distance, and there is no better than a crossbow, and other weapons cannot compare with it. Obviously, only the crossbow is the most ferocious and powerful weapon in the cold soldiers, and the weapon used by Zhang Baoer is the crossbow of the Tang Dynasty. When the crossbow is opened, the crossbow string is connected to the winch with a thick rope, and the soldiers shake the winch, open the crossbow string, and set the giant arrow, and when it is fired, the soldier must slam the trigger with a sledgehammer, and the machine will shoot the arrow into the distance. A row of giant arrows, killing and wounding, terrifying.

Another thing that Sanger said was right, even in the Tang Dynasty, which was known for its wealth, this weapon was not heavily equipped, and the manufacturing cost of the crossbow and its crossbow arrows was very high, and the annual income of twenty medium-sized families could only afford one crossbow and fifty crossbow arrows. This time, Zhang Bao'er's convoy only brought thirty ballistas.

Of course, Zhang Baoer didn't need to bring too many things because of a lack of silver, so she could only bring so many just in case, but she didn't expect to use it today.

Speaking of this, Sanger sighed and said, "I'm not worried about this giant crossbow, the giant crossbow is dead, and people are alive. I'm worried about the guy who set up the formation, he has some means, and it looks like we're going to have an opponent. ”

Li Dayu was puzzled and said, "Great Wizard, where did you know that? ”

Sanger pointed to the miserable mess in front of the circular car formation and said: "You see, although this person's giant crossbow blocked our attack, he also caused the Tang soldiers in front of the car formation to be killed and wounded, which is not something ordinary people can do." ”

Li Fuhuo nodded and said, "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it." ”

In the circular car formation, Xue Ne pointed at Zhang Bao'er and said angrily: "Dingguo Gong, how can you be so careless about the life of the Tang Sergeant?"

Zhang Bao'er was not angry, but just glanced at Xue Ne: "It's not that I careless about their lives, I have already sent Wang Haibin to order the rout to detour from both sides of the car formation in front of the formation, and many people have detoured from both sides, and these people rushed straight to the car formation regardless of the need to escape for their lives, what is it that they are not looking for their own death?" ”

Wang Haibin echoed on the side: "Governor, what Dingguo Gong said is right, it is indeed like this!" ”

After hearing this, Xue Ne couldn't help but be a little speechless, and he said, "Can't you just let them enter the car formation before firing arrows?" ”

Zhang Bao'er looked at Xue Ne for a long time before saying: "I only understand one thing now, Your Majesty made you the commander of this expeditionary army, which is a complete mistake. Before entering the Nantai Valley, I sent someone to remind you, but in the end, it was still a thousand miles away. I set up a chariot formation here and shot all those in front of me to save the lives of these defeated soldiers. I don't know if you don't understand or pretend to be confused, if I let the sergeant in front enter the car formation, wouldn't the Khitan army also attack the car formation, once the car formation is broken, there are chasing soldiers in the back, and there is a small Luanhe River in front of it, how many of these people can survive? Can't you weigh which is more important? ”

Xue Ne listened and was silent for a long time.

"Master, I've found him!" Wolf Tian whispered on the side.

Zhang Bao'er's face turned cold, and he ordered: "Bring him up." ”

Wolf Tian escorted the embarrassed Li Sijing up.

Zhang Bao'er glared at Li Sijing angrily: "I sent someone to ask you to send scouts, did you send them?" ”

Li Sijing's face was dead, and he shook his head.

"I asked you to send people to occupy the valleys on both sides first, did you do it?"

Li Sijing still shook his head.

"I asked you to distance the cavalry from the infantry, and after all the cavalry had passed through the Nantai Valley, let the infantry cross the valley, did you do that?"

Li Sijing still shook his head.

Zhang Bao'er sighed and said: "One general is incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, and now even if you are beheaded on the spot, you will not be able to save so many soldiers who died unjustly." ”

Li Kailuo defended Li Sijing on the side and said: "Dingguo Gong, this can't be all blamed on General Li, this time the Khitans took the lead by driving wolves unexpectedly, and the sudden appearance of hundreds of wolves made the front army's war horses frightened and uncontrollable, and then the Khitans followed and killed, which caused a comprehensive rout." ”

Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened: "Since the two armies are fighting, do you still expect the other party to tell you what tricks they use to prepare you in advance?" It's ridiculous. If he sent out scouts, even if the other party drove wolves to attack the formation, he would find out in advance, how could he be so embarrassed to defeat if he was prepared? If he occupies the valleys on both sides, he can hold back the Khitan cavalry from a high position, delay their pursuit, and not let them cut down our soldiers at will behind the ass. If the cavalry passed through the valley first, and did not connect with the infantry from head to end, even if the horses were frightened, they would not trample on the infantry, how could they cause such large casualties? ”

What Zhang Baoer said is true, not only Li Kailuo, but also Xue Ne, Wang Haibin and others cannot refute it.

"Wolf drive?" Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er seemed to remember something, and he asserted: "It will not be someone else who can do this, it must be the Turkic great wizard Sanger." ”

Xue Ne was surprised on the side: "Why is Dingguo Gong so sure? ”

"I have been to the court of the Turks and dealt with this great sorcerer of Sangar, and his ability to drive away wolves is unmatched. The fact that the Great White Sun can drive wolves and attack the formation must be the masterpiece of this Sanger Great Wizard. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er said to Xue Ne: "Governor, this expedition has failed, as for how you and General Li Sijing deal with it, listen to Your Majesty's will." Now the battlefield here is taken over by my Luzhou regimental training, I am responsible for blocking the Khitan Xi cavalry, you are responsible for gathering the remnants, leading them to quickly cross the Xiaoluan River, and withdraw to Danzhou to rest! ”

Xue Ne hesitated: "But, Dingguo Gong, your Luzhou regiment only has 800 cavalry, how can you resist the opponent's 30,000 cavalry?" ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled faintly: "Don't worry, if they want to cross the Xiaoluan River, they can only step on my Zhang Bao'er's corpse, and I won't let them succeed easily." ”

Xue Ne wanted to say something, but Zhang Baoer waved his hand and said: "Xue Shuai, don't fight, the faster you retreat, the safer I will be here, don't delay any longer." ”
