As the saying goes, "more than 10,000 people, boundless and boundless", nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from all kinds of coalition troops in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, lined up in the north and south, several miles away. The camp of Gao Yunhu's army is in the southernmost part of the princes, so the troop formation is also on the southernmost side.

Lu Bu led the troops to kill, and Yuan Shaojun in the middle bore the brunt. The position of Gao Yunhu's mighty army is on the flank, and if you want to retreat, it has a great advantage.

Gao Yun saw that Lu Bu waved his army to cover up, and the coalition forces from all walks of life fled one after another, and thought to himself: "If I retreat at this time, the coalition forces are very likely to be scattered by this array." Although these grandsons are each for their own benefit, they are much better than Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo wins, Yanzhou and Yuzhou will definitely suffer next. I don't know how many creatures have to be mutilated by Dong Zhuo's b. Looks like it's time to make a move! ”

Thinking of this, Gao Yun slashed and lifted the word, "Column crossbow array!" ”

At the sound of an order, the military formation changed, and the formation was encircled in an instant. The two thousand sword players gathered in front of the battle, and threw the big shield to the ground, connecting them into two rows of shield walls. Behind the shield wall, two thousand crossbowmen were in the first two rows, the first row was aiming in a kneeling position, and the second row was ready in a standing position; Two thousand cavalry archers were behind, staggered between the two in a wave-like arrangement, without affecting each other's vision.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Prison Pass had spread to the side of the Huwei Army from the inside out, and a large number of soldiers rushed over with shouts.

Gao Yun sat firmly in the formation, and when the soldiers of the Tiger Prison Pass were twenty steps away, he gave an order, "Release the arrow!" ”

These four thousand horse crossbowmen had already captured their targets, and after hearing Gao Yun's order, the first array of crossbow arrows flew out in four waves. First the first row of kneeling infantry crossbowmen, then the second row of standing crossbowmen, then the front row of mounted archers, and finally the rear mounted archers.

Each of these four waves of arrow rain was like being stacked and released by a machine, and the Dong Zhuo soldiers who rushed over were as if they had directly hit a wall of arrows flying horizontally, and they fell down four rows one after another, wailing.

To say that these soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass are worthy of being the main force that Dong Zhuo has accumulated in Xiliang for many years, and their combat effectiveness is many times stronger than those newly recruited stragglers of the princes. Obviously, they have all been trained on the battlefield, watching the people in front of them fall in rows and rows, and the people behind them did not slow down their pace at all, and continued to rush forward with shouts.

This state is not to say how unafraid of death are some Tiger Prison soldiers, but they have experienced battlefield battles and know the rules of dealing with archers, that is one word, fast!

Archers are arguably the only ranged combat class in the Cold Weapon Age, and almost every unit will be equipped with archers. But archers are not usually used as the main combat formation. One is that the range and lethality of ancient bows and arrows are extremely limited, and the archers have a fatal combat weakness, that is, intermittent attacks.

Therefore, in ancient times, in addition to being used as the main force in abnormal terrain, most of the archers' role was to suppress the formation. The function of pressing the formation is to prevent the main force from having time to react when the enemy suddenly rushes over, while the archers can temporarily suppress the opponent with long-range attacks and slow down the opponent's advance, so as to win time for the main combat force to prepare and counterattack.

Therefore, we often hear in many ancient military novels and commentaries, "left and right, display strong bows and crossbows, and hold down the formation", which is the role of archers.

The reason why these Tiger Prison soldiers continued to rush forward in the face of the rain of arrows was because of their battlefield experience, they knew that there would be gaps in the attacks of this archer, and there would be a wave of truly effective attacks within a short distance. The best way to break the arrow formation is to rush forward while the archers are changing ammunition and kill the archer formation.

But this time they seemed to be wrong, because the intermittent attacks of the Tiger Crossbowmen were not every shot, but only after ten rounds.

Gao Yun saw that the soldiers of the Tiger Prison Pass behind him completely ignored the fallen comrades in front, and rushed up again with a howl. Secretly sneered, raised the knife, "Release the arrow!" ”

The second rain of arrows was exactly the same as the first, and there were bursts of "chirping" in the air, and four arrow walls flew out one after another, and a large piece fell on the opposite side, and the screams of crying father and mother were endless.

"Shoot the arrows!" , "Release the arrows", Gao Yun ordered one after another, followed by the third and fourth showers of arrows, which looked like a flowing waterfall, and continuously shot at those Tiger Prison Pass soldiers who were still hesitating.

Gao Yun's crossbow fires arrows outward with the power of the mechanism, and its lethality and hit rate are far from being comparable to ordinary bows and arrows. With such a close-range shooting, and the opponent is not a shield unit, the effective lethality of the Huwei Army's arrow array can reach more than 30%, which was very terrifying at that time.

The shield troops of the Niu Auxiliary Army were all in front of the Yuan Shaojun Arrow Formation, and the Huwei Army was at the end of the left flank, and the main melee forces with spears and broadswords were scattered behind. And these classes have almost zero defense against bows and arrows.

After the four waves of sixteen waves of arrows of the Huwei army were fired, the ground ten steps away from the front of the formation was full of soldiers from the Tiger Prison Pass, and a large number of them were killed and wounded. Only then did he know that the arrow array of the Huwei Army was not so easy to break, looking at the corpses in front of him, who dared to go up, wailed and shouted, all bypassed the land of the Huwei Army, and leaned back to the north. This scene is interesting, it was originally a large array of geese, and the head of the geese went forward with two wings to cover and kill. But at this moment, the right wing of the right wing was stunned to flash an arc, and no one leaned over there where a dead body was around.

Gao Yun didn't dare to rush out, because Gao Yun didn't expect a large-scale melee today. Therefore, in addition to the 300 ghost camp guards, the soldiers and horses brought out to fight only had 2,000 swords and 4,000 crossbowmen. In order to deter the enemy just now, four waves of arrows have been released, and there are still six arrows left in the high-cloud crossbow in the crossbowman's hand. After these six arrows are fired, the four thousand crossbowmen are equivalent to being wasted. Moreover, defense is the advantage of crossbowmen, if they rush out to fight, the power of crossbowmen will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even retreat at that time.

Lu Bu's sudden appearance can be said to have caught Gao Yun off guard, riding a horse and standing in the formation, looking at the form on the battlefield, Gao Yun wanted to scold the street, "TMD, these turtle grandsons, one is faster than the other!" I can't fight or withdraw now, fuck it! ”

Zhao Yun saw that the form was not good, and said to Gao Yun: "Big brother, these four thousand crossbowmen can't last long, while Niu Fu doesn't react, let's go back to the camp."

Gao Yun shook his head, "No! As soon as we retreat, Lu Bu will be able to disperse the allies in this array. Most of the soldiers and horses of these princes were newly recruited, and they had never experienced the baptism of battle, and once they faced the enemy, their legs and stomachs trembled first. When it really started, five out of ten ran first. The Tiger Army was also brought from recruits, and we know this better than anyone else. If Lu Bu really kills this time, I'm afraid that the coalition army won't even be able to hold the camp, and he will be killed. When the time comes, they will all disperse, will our family go to crusade against Dong Zhuo? If this battle can't suppress Dong Zhuo, then it will be difficult to crusade against him in the future, and how many innocent people will be killed in the Central Plains at that time? ”

"But big brother, we only have thousands of crossbowmen, how can we break the enemy?"

"I had to take a risky move today! We're here to stay! Although Niu Fu wanted to break the coalition army, he was more afraid of the loss of the Tiger Pass. His front troops rushed over, and his rear army was isolated relative to our position. If we stay here, Niu Fu will be suspicious. As long as he is afraid, Mingjin withdraws his troops, and the coalition camp will be saved."

"Big brother Takami!" , Zhao Yun stopped talking, and each of them with Guan Yu was in one direction, waiting for the battle.

Niu Fu presided over the whole army, and from the very beginning he saw the Huwei army on the flank, but after breaking the right flank of his front army, he still did not move. How did he know that Gao Yun's array was full of crossbowmen, and his heart began to worry, "What is Gao Yunjiujing's plan?" Why have all the coalition forces been defeated and retreated, but only the Huwei army has not moved? Strange! ”

Thinking about it, Niu Fu was suddenly shocked, "It's not good! Could it be that this is a plan of the coalition forces, deliberately letting our front army enter the enemy position, and then counterattack and entangle the front of our army. Then let the main force of the Tiger Army come to rush my rear army and take advantage of the situation!? Ah! Big things are not good! Fast! Mingjin! Mingjin! ”

Thinking of this, Niu Fu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Lu Bu led the rise of the front army to kill, and suddenly heard Ming Jin, and his angry eyebrows turned upside down. Although he was resentful, he did not dare to disobey the military order, so he spat twice in a row, turned the red rabbit horse, and led the troops to withdraw.
