The Sui army here in Yuanming is in front of 300 large carts, these carts are not equipped with cattle and horses, and wooden baffles are set up on the carts, which are specially used to defend against the enemy's strong bows and crossbows, and the formation of the Chen army is different, the first line of the Sui army did not put spearmen, but ambushed 3,000 crossbowmen, at this time, all bows are wound, crossbows are set up with arrows, just waiting for the commander to give an order, ten thousand arrows will fly together, ruthlessly cleaning the opponent's camp.

The distance between the two armies slowly shortened, and the breathing of the soldiers in the first row on both sides began to be rapid, and the soldiers of the Chen army were in a row of fifty people, and at the very edge of each row were the most junior officers, all of whom drew their long swords and shouted trumpets, urging the soldiers to step forward.

Soon, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to about 200 steps, has entered the range of the six-stone crossbow machine, Wang Huaqiang today is also the first time to see the real battlefield of thousands of troops, his heart began to beat, at this time he also held his breath, looking at the black and yellow corps on the battlefield that was about to collide, imagining what kind of sparks will be sparked.

A war drum suddenly sounded in Chen Junzhong, and the dense soldiers in the front row suddenly parted to both sides like a tide, and from the gap between Chen Jun's shields, more than a hundred crossbow beds pushed by several people flashed, with two or three long lances on them, and behind the crossbow beds stood several shirtless men, holding sledgehammers. Wang Huaqiang suddenly burst into his pupils and shouted: "Wanjun Divine Crossbow!"

Before Wang Huaqiang's words fell, the strong men behind the crossbow bed began to pick up the sledgehammer one by one, smashing the crossbow machine, and two or three hundred long lances suddenly flew towards the Sui army array like hundreds of javelins thrown at the same time, with a terrible roar that pierced the sky.

The screams began one after another, although the troops on the first line of the Sui army had chariot baffles as a barrier, but they still suffered casualties under the continuous fire of Wanjun's crossbows, Wang Huaqiang saw with his own eyes that the baffles of several chariots were knocked away from the car, and then the long lance continued to fly forward with the baffle, smashing into the crossbowmen behind, and five or six people fell to the ground at once.

But today, Wang Huaqiang also found that although this kind of Wanjun Divine Crossbow is hugely powerful, there is a huge difference in the distance of launch.

Some spears flew up less than a hundred steps and fell to the ground, and some spears hit the crossbow machine with a sledgehammer, but the crossbow switch was directly smashed away, not the spear lance flew sideways, and more than a dozen Wanjun crossbows had this kind of problem, and a few colonels hurriedly rushed out of the back, holding a new crossbow machine in an emergency installation.

Wang Huaqiang suddenly realized: After all, this era is not the industrial age of later generations, and the level of productivity is still not high.

But even so, more than 100 Wanjun Divine Crossbows still fired more than 200 spears into the camp of the Sui army, and there were forty or fifty effective kills, and the archers in the front row of the Sui army were shot down more than 100 people, but the rest were calm, and they didn't even look at the fallen comrades around them.

After a round of firing of Chen Jun's Wanjun Divine Crossbow, it would take a certain amount of time to repair the crossbow machine or re-mount the spear lance, and Chen Jun's technicians and auxiliaries began to rush back to work in front of the battle.

Ming, the former commander of the Sui army, sat on his horse and raised the long knife in his hand, and the herald behind him quickly turned his order into a flag and a horn to pass it on, and the crossbowmen of the Sui army on the front line rushed out of the chariot formation in unison under the orders of their respective governors, and rushed forward dozens of steps.

The crossbowmen with three or four strong crossbows quickly fired the crossbow machine as they ran, then took a few steps back, retreated behind their comrades who rushed in front of them, pulled out the crossbow in their rear pockets, and continued to wind.

For a time, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the sound of the "click" crossbow machine firing was endless, and the crossbowmen of the Sui army had a range of up to two hundred paces in four stone crossbows, but in order to pursue lethality, they all rushed forward to a distance of about one hundred and fifty steps before launching, coupled with the momentum of people running forward, like a black wave of crossbow arrows, fiercely cleaning the Wanjun crossbow in front of the Chen army's array.

When the technicians and auxiliaries of the Wanjun Divine Crossbow were changing the ammunition, the infantry shield bearers of the Chen Army all stepped forward to cover with shields, but the crossbow arrows of the Sui Army were powerful at this distance, and many of the shield players of the Chen Army's infantry were directly shot into their hands by the crossbow arrows through the wooden shields, and they threw away their shields with a scream, and then they were shot by several crossbow arrows that flew next.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the generals in the front row of the Chen army hurriedly raised the order flag, and the crossbowmen of the Chen army also rushed out quickly, rushing out of the cover of the shield, firing a burst, and the archers behind them followed closely behind, and after a burst of crossbow bolts temporarily suppressed the opponent, they rushed out, and another burst of bows and arrows attacked.

The long-range troops on both sides came and went, and in the end, it was the crossbowmen of the Sui army who had the upper hand, and the soldiers from the north were obviously one size bigger than the soldiers of Southern Chen, and their strength was also stronger, and in this kind of head-to-head shooting of pure strength, the three thousand Sui archers completely suppressed the same number of Chen crossbowmen on the opposite side.

In the end, Chen Jun threw down six or seven hundred corpses full of arrows, as well as hundreds of Wanjun crossbows nailed with crossbow arrows, dragged his wounded and undead companions, and under the cover of the shield bearer, the wolf retreated.

The Sui army opened victoriously, only more than 200 people fell, and the remaining archers excitedly waved the bows and crossbows in their hands, whistled, stamped their feet, and roared to their heart's content.

Tian Rui's head began to sweat, he didn't expect that his Wanjun crossbow had not shot the opponent's archers, the northern army has not yet used the world-famous iron cavalry, just the infantry bow unit has lost for a while, no wonder the land war has always been strong in the north and weak in the south.

But the matter has come to this, as the former army commander, there is no other choice, he drew out his war knife, and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, our army is strong, the enemy has few soldiers, and the He Zishuai flag is on the mountain, as long as you rush over and open a way for the follow-up army, it will be victory!"

Tian Rui turned his head to the herald and shouted: "Pass my order, the chariot will charge the formation, the infantry will be in a scattered line, the sword and axe hand will be in front, and the enemy will be attacked with all his strength, and the archers will cover behind!"

The herald quickly waved the flag, and more than a hundred chariots with four armoured war horses began to rush towards the other side on a battle line more than three miles wide at the same time, each chariot had a wooden plank standing on it, and the emperor sat behind the plank, while the chariot brandished a halberd on the right, and the chariot held a bow and crossbow on the left, charging at full speed towards the Sui army line.

Between Jiangshan and Baitugang is a plain five or six miles wide, it is the first month, the temperature is very low, the originally wet and muddy land in the south of the Yangtze River is frozen hard at this time, extremely suitable for the iron cavalry and chariot to kill.

He Ruobi's vanguard did not have the ironclad cavalry like the Xiaoguo Army, and the two thousand light cavalry were hidden on the back of the mountain for reserve use at this time, so all the infantry troops under Jiang Mountain were arrayed, and Tian Rui also saw this point, so he let go of the chariot troops to attack.

Closely behind the more than 100 chariots were the lightly armed Chen saber and axe men, the spear lancers wearing bulky protective gear and the shield soldiers holding large wooden shields were dragging behind because of their lack of speed, wearing only leather armor, and even some shirtless swords and axemen were running behind the chariots with all their might, hoping to harvest the heads of the Sui soldiers all over the ground after the four wheels of the chariot were crushed.

Yuan Ming stared at the chariot of the Southern Chen army, his face was solemn, and he raised his war knife again, and the archers on the front line of the Sui army shot all the bows and arrows in their hands as fast as possible, and then turned around and ran back, retreating behind the big cart line.

The heavily armored lance of the Sui army formed a neat formation, holding the lance forward, forming a line about thirty paces behind the cart.

The bow and crossbow of the Sui army did not form a continuous, intensive fire strike, and did not form much damage to the crazy galloping chariots, except for the six or seven chariots whose horses were hit by arrows and the vehicles were destroyed, the other hundreds of chariots avoided the attack of this rain of arrows and rushed into the front of the Sui army's front for about a mile, and the war horses began to accelerate, and the speed of the chariots became faster and faster, roaring towards the Sui army's front with the sound of the wind.
