With the same course of operations, the results are naturally similar.

More than 50 light cavalry, including A Mang and Jiang Shuzhe, were pierced by the first round of 200 throwing spears without exception, and the light cavalry that followed were turned on their backs by the people who were shot by the dense crossbow arrows before they could hit the chariot formation!

Crossbowmen are also a relatively rare type of troops in this era.

A crossbow is different from a bow. Feathered arrows that are routinely used in bow shooting are about the length of a man's arm, and trained archers can generally shoot more than 100 meters away. Crossbow arrows, on the other hand, are much shorter, about half the length of ordinary feather arrows, and have a range of only about 50 meters.

The disadvantages of the crossbow compared to the bow are obvious, the range is short, and the reload is too slow.

At the same time, the advantages of the crossbow compared with the bow are also obvious, the close-range lethality is large, the requirements for operation technology are extremely low, just pull someone to teach it, aim at the enemy thirty to fifty meters away and pull the trigger.

What's more, He Daxian intervened in the design and manufacture of crossbows this time, and made two hundred simple sapper crossbows in the craftsman shop in Hujiazhai, which could be loaded with three arrows at the same time.

This crossbow was originally designed for sappers with low combat skills to defend themselves. The loading time was too long, it took up to two to three minutes to load, and it was laughed to death by the normal archers, who themselves called it a hammer deal.

That is, you can only shoot once during war, and if you want to reload continuously in wartime, then you can rest the dishes.

However, a hundred sappers and a hundred civilians, a total of 200 crossbows, were shot out in two waves, and each wave was densely packed with 300 crossbow arrows, which were scattered like a torrential rain on the Khitan light cavalry at a distance of 50 meters, where could anyone carry it!

By the time the crossbowmen finish shooting their arrows and leave the field, the spearmen will have their third batch ready to throw their spears!

It's a pity that there are no Khitans still on horses, and the third batch of spears is just a preparatory action, and they are not thrown.

The two hundred spearmen were silent, and everyone stood firmly in place, spear in hand, quietly waiting for the crossbowmen to reload their arrows, waiting for these crossbowmen to stab all the Khitans who did not die with their people.

Calm, professional, like a slaughterhouse for killing pigs, the scene of the killing is chaotic and efficient.

Kill all the Khitans, and more than half an hour has passed.

Now the Zhenwu army is becoming more and more proficient in this method of killing the wounded Khitan soldiers, and although there are more than a dozen rebellions in the whole process, not a single Tang soldier or civilian man is injured.

A dozen or so uninjured horses were also collected, and the lazy men happily put their horses on ropes and prepared to use them to pull the carts.

To be honest, Chen Tian was a little too cautious this time, these carts full of stones were useless at all, they just played a role in scaring the Khitans.

"Collect the stones."

Collecting stones is a standard action, and the action of 300 people quickly carried the cloth bags containing stones on their backs one by one. Next, they will continue to stay where they are to cut the flesh of dead horses, loot the belongings of Khitan soldiers, and disassemble the armor and weapons of Khitan soldiers.

"Everything must be confiscated before distribution, whoever dares to steal it will cut off his hand!"

"Don't cut dead human flesh and pass it off as horse meat! Whoever dares to steal human flesh will be killed!

Taking advantage of the people's efforts to cut horses and cut meat, Chen Tian walked to the gate of Lanzhou City with three hundred foot soldiers of the baggage battalion, and shouted with all his strength:

"Lanzhou City, open the door!"

Before he could hesitate, the soldiers below were already busy lowering the drawbridge and opening the city gate.

There's no way, the five hundred Khitan cavalry who were still fierce just now were killed by this group of Xinzhenwu troops in the blink of an eye, and no one was injured, not even a single foot, is there any reason for this?

These Lanzhou troops are straight on the city wall, how dare they disobey!

Not to mention whether you can block it when people really want to attack the city, even if you don't attack the city, if you insist on not opening the door, people will simply pat their butts and turn around and leave, wouldn't it be even more dumbfounded?

When the Khitans come again, will you come to stand on top?

Although Chen Tian was loyal and calm, after all, he still won a battle in front of the entire Lanzhou army, and he was also swollen to death for a while, and he felt that he had forgotten his surname.

With three hundred foot soldiers striding into Lanzhou City, looking at the awe in the eyes of the Lanzhou soldiers standing on both sides, Chen Tian was even more carried away, and he didn't even pay attention to the white-faced fat man who was obviously wearing the Assassin Historian's Mansion, so he just kept a straight face, rode on a horse and walked over leisurely, making Tang Qun almost vomit blood.

But there's no way, who makes the Zhenwu army too awesome.

It's just that Chen Tian squinted his eyes, and he still felt as if he had seen something, so he turned around and finally saw Li Zhuanmei and Master Li.

Chen Tian can ignore Tang Qun and pretend not to know him, but he can't do it when he sees Master Li, this white-bearded old man has eaten with his boss General Zhao, and he still came to send an official to General Zhao!

Chen Tian was also a witty person, so he immediately put away his proud face, turned over and dismounted, ran to Lord Li, and knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute.

"I didn't see Lord Li just now, Lord Li forgives my sins!"

"Where is it, what is the crime, the little general has the strength to kill the enemy and solve problems for Lanzhou, and he has made a lot of contributions, and the official is happy."

The white-bearded old man couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

The old man likes this kind of person the most, he is capable, polite, and his mouth is very sweet.

"Lord Li smiled, Chen Tian, the captain of the lowly baggage battalion, is not a general."

"Hahaha, the same, the same what? Baggage battalion? You weren't sent by General Zhao to save us? ”

"Huh? This Lord Li, our baggage battalion repairs the dam in Songjiagou on weekdays, last night General Zhao ordered us to come and kill the Khitan, we drove all night, and finally killed this group of Khitans. Today the soldiers will rest in the city for the night, and if General Zhao has no other orders, we will leave tomorrow morning. ”

"How's that going to work? You are gone, what should I do in Lanzhou? ”

"But General Zhao didn't say he was going to take over Lanzhou?"

"Don't say so much first, you stay in Lanzhou first, and I will write to you General Zhao."

"But Master Li, General Zhao's military discipline is strict, and the little ones don't dare to disobey it."

The two of you, you and I, are completely as if the surrounding Lanzhou Thorn Shi Tang Qun and the soldiers of the Lanzhou Army do not exist, and it seems that without the three hundred Zhenwu Army baggage battalions, the sky in Lanzhou is about to fall.

It made Tang Qun and the officers of the Lanzhou Army look so ugly.

Not to mention the mess here in Lanzhou, He Daxian pinched his fingers last night, and sent a communication soldier to drive Chen Tian to Lanzhou. He also led a thousand light cavalry to set off for the side pass early the next morning. Huang Zhi and they have also been deployed at Shenchi Pass two days ago, according to his calculations, this afternoon the Shuozhou army will arrive at Shenchi Pass, if the Shuozhou army decides to attack Shenchi Pass, it will be a tragic battle, he needs to take Shuozhou as soon as possible, in order to really reduce the pressure on Shenchi Pass.

"My lord, can't you really go with your lord?" Zhao Sang stood aggrievedly in front of General Zhao's war horse, and once again asked for orders to follow the battle.

Zhao Sang's body has fully recovered.

Thanks to He Daxian's personal treatment for him, and he taught him to practice the top-level internal skill "Jianxin True Sutra", and now he has practiced to the third level. Zhao Sang looks very thin and weak, but in fact, his genes are still very good.

The foundation is very thick, learned a good kung fu that has been passed down in the world of high martial arts, plus sleeping well, eating well, and having sufficient nutrition during the recuperation period, according to the modern fitness methods taught by He Daxian every day, persistently doing push-ups, squats and other strength exercises, only half a month, it is as strong as a calf, the six-pack abs are visible, and the muscles on the arms and shoulders are also obviously bulging.

He Daxian even suspected that he was not a Tuyuhun person, and it was very likely that he was a Tufan person or a species left by the Shatuo people.

"No, after I leave, there will be only two hundred heavy cavalry left here! Don't leave without my orders! Always ready to reinforce Shenchi Pass! ”

The light cavalry traveled, how fast it was, and at about ten o'clock in the morning, a thousand cavalry of the Zhenwu Army had already arrived at the side pass.

From Shuozhou, you can go to Shenchi Pass, or you can take the side road. It's just that if you take a detour, the road is far away, and it winds and turns in the mountains, and it is very inconvenient for the army to move. The mountain road here is narrow, and once the pass is established, it is really a man who is not open.

In the later Song and Ming dynasties, the Biguan Pass was an important checkpoint to defend against the invasion of the north, and was known as one of the three passes in China. In the story of the Yang generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, the main thing is to defend the two places of Bianguan and Ningwu Pass. When the wind is down, you can go north to the golden beach to fight with the northern cavalry, and when the wind is against the wind, you can stubbornly defend the partial pass and Ningwu Pass, and the northern nomads are also very troublesome.

It is still the post-Tang Dynasty, and the value of this place has not yet been revealed, it is just a simple small pass, which belongs to the sphere of influence of the Shuozhou army.
