Chapter 301: A Bloody Battle
Since Han Sui did not hide this expedition, the news naturally spread to Yu Ci very quickly, Liu Bei couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this, and scolded sharply: "Is Han Sui Lao'er crazy?" In order to defeat Lone, he didn't even want Wu Wei! Doesn't he know that it was Liu Qi'er who took his inheritance? He didn't say that he would lead his troops to deal with Liu Qi, but why did he have to get along with Lone? ”
This can't blame Liu Bei for being anxious, because this time Han Sui led the army to attack, whether he won or lost, it would mean that he would lose control of Wuwei from now on, because the spies he stayed in Guzang had just come to the news that Yang Teng, the king of Di, led the army into Guzang City, looted in the city, burned, killed and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, such a viciousness just brought the best excuse for Liu Qi to become the master of Guzang, and it was impossible for a character like Liu Qi to let go of such an opportunity.
But even if he was in a hurry, there was no way, because Han Sui's army was not far from him, and he had to prepare for battle for now, because the other party was all cavalry, and if he avoided the battle and retreated, he would definitely be covered by tens of thousands of iron horsemen.
Utilize effective terrain for defense, which is their only option at the moment.
In less than a cup of tea, Liu Bei heard the sound of a big earthquake trembling in the distance, even if he had been fighting for many years, he couldn't help but change color when he heard this earth-shattering sound.
Even Liu Bei's face changed color, and the soldiers under his command were obviously even more unbearable, and some of the lower ones were already pale, and they felt that the rumbling horses' hooves were not stepping on the ground, but he was in their chests, and they felt that their eardrums were going to be broken, and their hearts were going to be squeezed out of their chests.
Even the most elite white-eared soldiers beside Liu Bei, although they still maintained their composure, the majestic sound of horses' hooves still made them feel a little worried.
"This time the enemy sent so many cavalry that our defenses were hastily built. Can it withstand it? ”
Although their hearts are full of pessimism, they are the elite of the world's first-class, as the personal soldiers under the Duke of Qin. The sense of obedience and iron-blooded spirit that they have cultivated over the years have not flinched in the slightest, but have a faint expectation in their hearts. Looking forward to being able to fight to the death with the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so that they can also see the elite of the white-eared soldiers.
Zhuge Liang was not intimidated by the powerful cavalry, although the sound of the horse's hooves on the ground made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart, but his mind was unusually clear, and he was now staring closely into the distance, judging the distance of the enemy army according to the sound that came.
"There are still five miles to ......"
"There are still four miles to ......"
"There are still three miles ......"
"There are still two miles ......"
"I've seen enemy riders." In the dim moonlight, the enemy's cavalry swept towards their camp like a tidal wave. Their faces were all murderous and bloodthirsty, without the slightest hesitation, at first glance, this was a well-trained elite cavalry, those horses were all excellent Xiliang military horses, all fat and strong, strong and powerful, the horses' hooves fell neatly on the ground, and there were rhythmic sounds.
Zhuge Liang was still silently calculating the distance, and the army was still one mile away from him, one hundred and fifty zhang. One hundred zhang, fifty zhang, one hundred and fifty steps. One hundred steps, eighty steps......
"Launch."
As soon as the concise order was given, the soldiers at the front immediately loosened their bowstrings, only to hear the sound of breaking through the air, and the arrows roared like locusts and rushed towards the enemy formation.
Immediately there was a burst of neighing and roaring horses, and I don't know how many horses fell to the ground with a scream, and I don't know how many soldiers were killed by arrows and trampled to death by horses. He was not even trampled to death, but he was trampled on and broke his arms and legs. He roared violently.
But these casualties did not make the enemy retreat, but only provoked their blood. They roared angrily and rushed forward without hesitation, without paying any attention to the horses under the hooves and the corpses of the robes.......
When the cavalry in the front row was only sixty paces away from the front, only a shout was heard: "Spear." Then I saw a sharp sound of breaking the air, and countless spears flew out of the hands of the cavalry, and then intensively threw them at the archers in Liu Bei's army, nailing them firmly to the ground.
Suddenly, there was only a scream, but now the screams did not occur in Han Sui's army, but in Liu Bei's army.
Zhuge Liang's heart twitched suddenly, these elite archers were all trained by him, originally thinking that after the repeater was made, they would be equipped with powerful repeaters, but many of them no longer had such a chance.
All of a sudden, all that filled the heavens and the earth was the sound of whining spear projection, mixed with the screams of Liu Beijun's lieutenant generals, which made people listen to their ears, and they couldn't help but be terrified, because these spears seemed to be impossible to resist at all, even the thick shields were useless in front of them.
What is even more terrifying is that most of these cavalrymen carried bows and arrows on their backs, and after they killed Liu Bei's archers with spears, they took bows and arrows from their backs and fired a round of feathered arrows at the enemy on horseback.
The sound of the fluttering feather arrows entering the flesh and the screams of the soldiers were mixed together, which made people shudder even more.
"Shieldman, block." Zhuge Liang frowned when he saw the other party's arrows raining down. Immediately ordered.
I saw the shield bearer firmly hold the shield to the ground, and then the pikeman, who stretched out the spear in their hand along the gap in the shield, like a wolf's tooth sticking out, ready to stab the enemy who rushed up to a hole.
Fortunately, there are no longer spears in the hands of the enemy, and there are antlers, horse traps and other things waiting in front of them, so the current enemy cavalry is no longer as big as before.
Zhuge Liang is extremely calm at present, and can even be said to be extremely cold-blooded, because although so many archers have died in battle before, although the infantry led by Zhang Fei strongly requested to fight, he flatly refused, and there was not even a trace of room for negotiation.
Because he knows the power of the Xiliang cavalry, not to mention that there are 30,000 Qiang soldiers who are good at shooting behind the Xiliang cavalry?
"Now we are waiting for the enemy to storm the walled gate, as long as they rush in, the shape will be reversed, although we are still defending, but the ratio of casualties on both sides will be reversed."
Zhuge Liang waited quietly, without the slightest impatience, he coldly watched as the Qiang soldiers each shot a pot of arrows, two or three hundred thousand feather arrows were inserted diagonally in front of his own formation, and a small number of feather arrows were inserted into those unlucky soldiers. Later, he was again under the cover of the bows and arrows of the Qiang soldiers. The Xiliang cavalry swaggered away from the antlers, horse repellents and other objects arranged in front of the camp, and then crossed the trench and began to slowly move forward.
Due to the tight time, the trench was not dug deep or wide, so it could not stop the advance of the enemy cavalry, but it was only a meal, and the enemy cavalry who crossed the trench numbered in the thousands, and they all slowly advanced towards the defensive line formed by the shield bearers.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw a rain of arrows thrown from behind the defensive line formed by those shield bearers, this round of arrow rain was dense, several times larger than the previous scale, and in an instant, tens of thousands of feathered arrows roared into the enemy formation, knocking down those enemy cavalry who rushed over.
Because the distance was much closer than before, these feathered arrows were so powerful that even sturdy horses and armored knights could hardly resist.
"Oh no, I fell for Zhuge Liang's plan, it seems that these are the main archers of the enemy!" Han Sui's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he said in a deep voice.
But Han Sui is not a vain person, he can now be said to be unfazed in the chaos, and decisively ordered the cavalry to continue to advance.
At the command, all the cavalry turned a blind eye to the archers in Liu Bei's army, and they relied on the robes in front of them to block the feather arrows fired by the enemy, but they drove their war horses to step on the corpses of the robes and war horses that blocked the arrows for them and continued to rush over.
After the tea, the feathered arrows fired by the archers were sparse and could no longer pose any threat to the cavalry, but Han Sui's cavalry encountered a trap again.
Many cavalry did not have time to make any defensive measures, they fell into the trap in horror, the pit was deployed with sharp knives, antlers, rejecting rifles and other objects, many soldiers were transferred in and immediately stabbed by those sharp objects, those lucky were directly stabbed to death, but unfortunately they were pierced through the limbs and abdomen, and they could only scream miserably, but they did not die for a while.
"Hmph, keep rushing." Han Sui's eyes did not fluctuate at all, but the chill was even stronger, and he personally raised the drumstick and beat the war drum vigorously.
Only the sound of drums shook the earth, and the cavalry under his command roared and rushed forward, although there was a trap for horses, but they could no longer stop the tide of cavalry.
Liu Bei's shield soldiers and pikemen did not move, they quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy army, and then used their shields to resist the impact of the enemy army, and then used their spears to stab the enemy cavalry that rushed over.
Naturally, the enemy was not willing to be restrained, and slashed at the enemy's head from the back of the horse with the spear halberd and scimitar in his hand.
The battle went on for a long time, and at last a head-on contact began.
For a moment, there was only a murderous aura of flesh and blood, and although there was no horror caused by spears and horse pits, it was obvious that more casualties had been caused on the battlefield.
I could only hear the sound of swords and guns entering the flesh, occasionally mixed with the neighing of war horses and the screams of people.
Although death is so close, although human life is like a mustard at this time, but everyone on both sides has not retreated and feared, many years of war experience let them know one thing deeply, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, in this situation of ten thousand armies, there is absolutely no way to retreat, only to move forward bravely or to win a glimmer of life.
Han Sui's Xiliang army and Qiang army relied on combat bravery, skilled bows and horses, while Liu Bei's army relied on neat formations and strict military aircraft.
After fighting for a long time, Zhuge Liang looked at the sky, and then said slowly: "Lord, the morale of the other party has almost been exhausted, and it's time to fight back." (To be continued)
