In the second year of Yongchang in the Great Jin Dynasty, in May, on the battlefield of Zhuoxian County, Youzhou, Shi Le gathered the last 300,000 troops to face it head-on. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mo Han came to Wei Shuo's side, pointed to the wolf smoke rising into the sky in the distance, and said, "Da Sima, Hu Lu is gathering troops. ”

"Shile knows very well that they have no way out, and the only way to survive is to fight us to the death."

"No matter what, we won't give Hu Lu another chance!" There was a murderous aura faintly in Wei Shuo's voice.

At the time of the decisive battle, the sky was gray, and suddenly a light rain began to fall.

Wei Shuo placed spearmen and crossbowmen in front of him as a burden for snipers, and he personally commanded them. The left and right wings were all cavalry, which were under the command of Neng Chen, Yao Lan, Yao Yisheng, Beigong Chun and other generals. 200,000 Liaodong soldiers stood solemnly in the spring rain, quietly waiting for the moment of attack.

The wild goose is ready to be formed.

The battlefield was very silent, even suffocatingly silent.

The battle flags of both sides danced wildly in the spring rain, and let out a thrilling roar.

Wei Shuo raised his long knife, looked up at the Liaodong military flag standing tall, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

The Liaodong military flag danced in mid-air, like a dragon about to take off and roared wildly in the sky.

Ordinary soldiers gasped and clenched their weapons tightly, waiting for the long-awaited battle to break out.

"Knock knock!" Hundreds of war drums beat at the same time, and the thunderous drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Woo!" At the moment when the war drums sounded, the Qianhu cavalry was dispatched, and more than 100,000 cavalry rushed out of the formation like arrows from the string, roaring towards the middle army of the Liaodong Army.

There was a sneer on the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth, Shi Le wanted to rely on the superior cavalry team to tear a passage from the Chinese army held by the infantry of the Liaodong Army, so as to break the Liaodong Army's formation. Although this idea was good, Shile clearly underestimated the infantry strength of the Liaodong Army.

Wei Shuo waved his long knife, and then ordered: "Send an order to the Chinese army, stabilize the position, and the left and right cavalry quickly outflank the enemy from both flanks!" ”

In an instant, Beigong Chun, Nengchen, Yao Lan, Yao Yisheng and other cavalry generals each led their men and horses to attack quickly from the left and right flanks, and at the same time, the main force of Qianhu unhindered to the Chinese army, and collided head-on with the spearmen of the Chinese army, who were waiting in battle.

Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses scuffled together, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Looking at the Hu cavalry roaring like a tide in front of him, Wei Shuo roared, "Beat the drums, fight to the death!" ”

successfully lured the main force of Qianhu to the battlefield in Zhuoxian, and the pre-war plan of Liaodong was realized! Therefore, Wei Shuo didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him, he wanted to completely annihilate the Hu people, no matter how much the price was paid, as long as he could kill the Hu Lu in front of him, the Hu people would no longer have any hope of turning around, and the Hu troubles that had ravaged the Central Plains for more than ten years would be completely ended.

At this time, Beigong Chun and Neng Chen commanded the cavalry to kill the Hu from the left and right flanks.

Chen An, Jia Jian, and spearmen intercepted the Qiang retreat from the front.

In the face of the Liaodong soldiers who gradually surrounded him, Shi Le was not afraid, he had enough confidence in the iron cavalry under his command, he believed that he had broken through the Liaodong army infantry interception before the Liaodong cavalry outflanked him.

Hundreds of thousands of armies on both sides of the plain within a radius of several miles were entangled, arrows roared in the air, stumps and broken arms flew up, and blood stained the earth red.

"Ho-ho! Flatten the Liaodong Army, kill! ”

Under the command of Shile, the cavalry howled with their long swords held high and began to charge, their faces fierce enough to scare away the faint of heart.

In the Liaodong Army formation, a crossbowman commander was obviously a boss who had survived a hundred battles, and he was not nervous at all in the face of the overwhelming Hu cavalry, and still adjusted the bed crossbow calmly.

At the same time, he did not forget to relieve the tension of his subordinates around him, and said: "Don't be afraid, when Lao Tzu and this big Sima went out to the prairie, they encountered more Hu Qi than this!" Don't worry, as long as Da Sima can't turn over flowers in these Hulu. Wait for the brothers to listen to my command, and be sure to wait for Hu Cai to reach nearly 300 steps before he can shoot. ”

"Don't worry, brothers, each of them is a soft egg!" The same brothers assured.

"Well, I naturally believe this, in fact, our crossbowmen are the least dangerous, but the most lethal in Liaodong."

"Really?"

"What's the chief, are our crossbowmen really powerful?"

As the surrounding inquiries began, the camp that was supposed to be facing the enemy became lively and noisy, and at the same time, many new recruits who had just entered the battlefield forgot their inner fears.

"That's natural, which big battle wasn't our crossbowmen who took the lead and beat Hu Lu into a daze, and then it was the turn of the infantry and cavalry to pick up the remnants of the enemy." In order to boost morale, the chief had no choice but to speak out without changing his face.

"Prepare before you shoot!"

When everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a herald conveying the latest military orders, and the chief heard the sound and hurriedly reorganized his subordinates and prepared to meet the enemy.

"Brother, pay attention, Hu Lu is about to come up! Don't be nervous later, just shoot according to the pre-war training. Remember not to shoot continuously, but to follow instructions and shoot in three stages. Although there are more than 100,000 Hu Qi, the range of the bed crossbow in our hands is 400 steps away, and the power is huge, and it is impossible for Hu Lu to get close. ”

"Eight hundred steps!" "Five hundred steps!" "Four hundred steps!" "Three hundred steps!"

The soldier in charge of observation on the lookout kept reporting the distance of the Hu cavalry, and the chief looked at the Hu cavalry getting closer and closer in front of him, listened to the sound of the horses' hooves of thunder, and when he could almost see the hideous face of the Hu cavalry, he finally heard the number of three hundred.

As soon as he heard the number of three hundred, Shi Chang immediately instinctively roared out the word that he had been holding back: "Shoot!" ”

The roar of the chief and the shouts of other generals at all levels converged, like a thunderbolt resounding in the Liaodong army array. At the same time, three thousand bed crossbows rang out at the same time, followed by five feet long, spear-like arrows, with a sound of breaking through the air.

A bed crossbow with a range of 400 steps shot Hu Qi at a distance of 300 steps, the power can be imagined, and the lethality is too great! When the arrows that were steaming through the cold light passed through the galloping Hu Qi, there were bursts of screams in an instant, and then I saw Hu Lu being pierced through the body by spear-like arrows, and even some arrows even came with a string of sugar gourds, which were carried upside down.

After the 3,000 bed crossbows were fired in one round, although they brought thousands of casualties to the charging Kahu cavalry, this loss was nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops.

Therefore, Shi Le ignored it and continued to command his subordinates to attack the Liaodong Central Army.

However, although the bed crossbow is extremely powerful, it can be wound for a long time, and after a round of arrows, the strength of three soldiers must exceed ten breaths to complete. The average time to fire a bed crossbow is enough for a longbowman to shoot four to five rounds of arrows. Therefore, the 'long' winding time becomes the weakness of the bed crossbow.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and cavalry charges are the most dangerous time for crossbowmen. Usually the distance of 300 steps is only a moment's work for the cavalry, and it will only leave the crossbowmen with two rounds of fire, and this is the reason why the Liaodong crossbowmen usually shoot in three stages.

In the battle just now, even if there were heavy casualties to the Qianhu, as the Qianhu cavalry continued to charge, there was not much time left for the crossbowmen to continue to exert their might. Soon the crossbowmen will retreat to the rear, and then it will be the turn of the spearmen and sword and shield men to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

Despite the casualties, the charge of the Qianhu finally paid off, and the cavalry got closer and closer to the Liaodong Army's formation. Moreover, the smell of blood on the battlefield completely aroused the tyranny in the hearts of the Qianghu, and they accelerated their horses, expecting more bloody killings.

Looking at the faces on the opposite side that were getting clearer and clearer, the Qianghu people on the mounts showed hideous smiles, as if they saw the Jin people who had been wailing under their swords in the past, but the next moment, their smiles stiffened on their rough faces.

It turned out that just halfway through the charge, those Qianhu cavalry heard the familiar sound of breaking the air again, and then Qianhu only saw black lightning approaching, and he didn't have time to react at all, and was killed by a crossbow arrow.

For a while, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, the 'poof' sound of arrow feathers inserting into the body, and the neighing of wounded war horses were all resounded.

With the launch of the Liaodong Army's bed crossbow again and again, one after another crossbow arrows were shot at Hulu, which had already become a hell in front of the Liaodong Army's military formation, and there were broken arms and stumps left by the Liaodong cavalry everywhere.
