In the early spring, the water in the Yongding River is still rushing endlessly, and it does not stop for a moment because of an upcoming war......

Xianbei people are really here! In the east of Jicheng, the Xianbei cavalry lined up stood in the wind, the skirt of the placket swayed with the wind to look majestic, and the banner of the Xianbei people in the team was waving with the wind, which brought a bit of heavy pressure to the Jin people in Jicheng.

Surrounded by the guards, Duan Ji Lu Xuan, Duan Shi Fuchen, and Duan Piyan pointed to Wei Shuo and the others in Jicheng and whispered. Except for Duan Mobo, who was excluded, and Duan Wenyang, who was stationed in Yangle, the other children of the Duan family all came to Jicheng.

In addition to the 50,000 tribal cavalry, there are also a large number of Han people who are young and strong under the persecution of the Xianbei people, pushing all kinds of siege equipment with difficulty. It seems that the Duan clan has not made progress in the past few years, at least they also know that without auxiliary equipment, they will not be able to break through the fortified city garrisoned by the army.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, a long horn sounded, and the Xianbei cavalry, which was originally silent and speechless, suddenly became imposing, and all the cavalry roared to the sky with swords and guns, and let out a shout like a beast, which was a means for the Xianbei people to relieve their pre-war tension. What's more, the sound of the horn indicates that a big war is coming, and all Xianbei people will be ready to fight.

Many people on the city wall were shocked when they saw a piece of Xianbei cavalry under the city, and some people were even so frightened that they couldn't stand, and they barely supported their bodies by relying on the city wall.

Wei Shuo saw the ugliness of these people in his eyes completely, he just showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything. Others are afraid of the Xianbei cavalry, but he is not afraid of Wei Shuo. If it was Murong Diao, he might still be nervous. But in front of him is Duan Jian Lu, who has long since lost the courage of the past. I didn't take him seriously at all.

With a wave of Wei Shuo's hand, Jicheng immediately became wide open, and a large number of Liaodong soldiers slowly crossed the moat with neat steps, and came to a formation five hundred steps away from the Xianbei cavalry array. Nine thousand spearmen were at the front, three thousand crossbowmen were behind, and the left and right flanks were guarded by cavalry. As for the Mo Dao team, they were hidden in the middle of the big array.

A series of abnormal actions of the Liaodong Army in Jicheng made many people on both sides of the enemy confused, especially Duan Ji and Lu were even more confused, and they couldn't figure out why the Liaodong Army wanted to give up the city defense warfare that they were good at, and chose a field battle that was very unfavorable to the Liaodong Army.

"Tsk, what is the Liaodong Army doing? Do they want to defeat the Xianbei cavalry head-on? ”

"I really don't know how thick the sky is, that Xianbei person is easy to deal with? There are ready-made cities that are not used, and I don't know what heroes are succeeding! ”

"Yes, yes. The Liaodong army together is only 16,000 people, and the cavalry is even smaller, but the Xianbei people on the opposite side have tens of thousands of cavalry alone. Head-to-head showdown, how is the Liaodong Army an opponent? Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? ”

"Humph! It's best to let the Xianbei people teach the ignorant and arrogant Liaodong people a good lesson, and let them know that Youzhou is not Liaodong! It is best for Liaodong people to go back to Liaodong to claim the king and hegemony! ”

Some people in Jicheng who were hostile to Liaodong looked at the Liaodong army outside the city and talked about it, and most of them didn't forget to sneer at Wei Shuo's back. Some people with evil intentions even wished that the Liaodong Army under the city would be completely annihilated by the Xianbei people. Wei Shuo naturally didn't know that someone was cursing the Liaodong Army behind his back. Now his full attention was on both the enemy and the enemy beneath the city.

"Attack, kill all the Liaodong people!"

Although Duan Ji and Lu didn't know what the hell the Liaodong Army on the other side was doing. But he won't give up the opportunity to attack. With Da Dan giving an order, 50,000 Xianbei cavalry began to move slowly.

The black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, and tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry rushed together, and the momentum that erupted made the civil and military officers of the original Youzhou on the city wall almost out of breath. The shouts of the Xianbei people in his ears were higher and higher, listening to "Da Da! The sound of horses' hooves. Even the earth seemed to tremble.

"Shoot!"

The Xianbei archers who were galloping their horses fired thousands of arrows, and the riding and archery skills of the grassland people were really not simple, and the dense arrows poured down like a rain curtain. However, due to the long distance, most of the arrows fell in front of the Liaodong Army's large array. In addition, the Liaodong soldiers were wearing paper armor, so the rain of arrows that seemed to be very powerful had limited damage to the Liaodong army.

"Woo woo woo ......" the horn of the Xianbei people became more and more urgent. Drifting farther and farther in the cold wind of early spring.

The Xianbei people are getting closer and closer to the Liaodong Army's large array, and the spearmen hiding behind the iron shield can even see the hideous faces of the Xianbei people on the opposite side clearly, but there is no general to give the order to attack, and the well-trained Liaodong Army is still motionless, only firmly holding the weapons in their hands, and staring at the Xianbei people on the opposite side.

I don't know why, looking at the Liaodong Army that still didn't make any movement, a strong uneasiness gradually surged in Duan Jilu's heart. For a moment, he even had the intention of stopping and returning to Liaoxi, but the war had already started, and it was not at all that he could stop if he wanted to.

"Whoosh!"

A dark cloud rose into the sky and flew towards the Hu cavalry. When the Xianbei people came two hundred steps away from the main formation of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army, which had been silent, finally moved. Under the operation of the crossbowmen, two thousand divine arm crossbows launched a crazy hunt against the Xianbei cavalry.

The range of the Divine Arm Crossbow that was finally customized and produced by the military workshop did not reach the three hundred and forty steps that Wei Shuo saw on the modern Internet, but only about two hundred steps, and the real killing distance was within one hundred and eighty steps.

The reason for this situation is that the pull of the Divine Arm Crossbow produced by the military workshop is weakened by nearly half compared with that of the Song Dynasty, although the power of long-range killing is reduced a lot, but the less pulling force is conducive to allowing more ordinary soldiers to pull the Divine Arm Crossbow.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Liu Yao was fearless in the face of the rushing Xianbei cavalry, and only calmly gave the order to attack.

"Whoosh!" A black rain of arrows came overwhelmingly, like locusts in the sky, and the Korean cavalry **** came. In an instant, the huge cavalry torrent resounded with undulating screams. However, thousands of arrows were enough to stop the rolling torrent.

Woohoo! Arrows kept flying. Screams kept sounding in the Xianbei array. In cavalry, once dismounted, it almost meant death. Even if you don't get killed by a bow and arrow, you will be trampled to minced meat by the horses of your own army.

"Collapse! Collapse! ”

Not to be outdone, the Xianbei people gave full play to the cavalry and archery skills of the grassland people, and there was a constant sound of bowstrings sounding in the gallop, and arrows rose in the cavalry, heading towards the Liaodong army.

"Bang!"

A bang! The strong horse finally crashed into the thick iron shield at the front. Poof! In an instant, the Xianbei soldier's body was pierced by the spear sticking out of the gap in the iron shield. More Xianbei people were squeezed off their mounts by their own people behind, and then trampled into pulp by the cavalry who followed, and the scene was extremely tragic for a while.

"Thorn!"

"Thorn!"

The spearmen, who had been through many battles, had long been accustomed to such a scene, and they simply repeated the same action mechanically, each time taking the life of a Xianbei man. While the spearmen resisted the onslaught of the Xianbei cavalry with heavy casualties, the crossbowmen behind the formation still persevered in shooting the Xianbei cavalry in the distance.

The cavalry, which had lost their impact speed, coupled with the lack of armor protection on the Xianbei cavalry, could only let the arrows fired by the crossbow of the god arm take their lives. Duan Jilu, who had been directing the cavalry to attack in the rear, couldn't help but become anxious when he saw that his cavalry couldn't break through the spear formation of the Liaodong Army.

"Quick, quick, speed up!"

Duan Ji Lu kept shouting at the generals around him, asking them to break through the spear formation in front of him as soon as possible. As long as the infantry is scattered, the cavalry can only be slaughtered. It's a pity that no matter how loud Duan Ji Lu shouted, the cavalry troops he was proud of just couldn't break through the spear array in front of him.

The Liaodong Army, which was hiding behind the spear array, showed no signs of taking the initiative to attack, and still relied on crossbowmen to carry out long-distance killing and wounding of the Xianbei people! (To be continued.) )
