After the army stopped, Yang Zilu gave up riding and sat on the Chinese army's military vehicle instead. Although there are many restrictions on military vehicles, they are still good for command vehicles. Yang Zilu's command car is like this, and it is very large, like a small palace, with drums and a small room to rest. On the side of the military vehicle is a seven-zhang high watchtower.

"Lord, Wu Jun, they have learned smartly!" Hou Xiong said in a regretful tone to Yang Zilu, who had just stepped into the military vehicle.

Yang Zilu patted the dust on his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"One hundred and fifty steps, and you have already begun to form a shield formation, slowly advancing! Looks like they know how to guard against the longbowmen! Hou Xiong said with a look of regret.

Yang Zilu smiled and said, "Hehe! Wu Jun is not a fool, he fought with us once, and he still doesn't know how to take precautions? But how about being prepared! Let's go up to the lookout with the widow! ”

Yang Zilu said that, and pulled Houxiong to the lookout. The lookout is not the seven-zhang high, but the military vehicle itself, built on the military vehicle cabin, the lookout is not high, but it is five feet and three feet high, used by the commander to observe the battlefield, of course, as an eye, naturally there is no seven-zhang high lookout to see far, no soldier who was selected as a sentinel to see clearly. But it was enough for Yang Zilu to barely observe the battlefield that was not yet chaotic.

When he went up to the lookout, Yang Zilu could only vaguely see the front row of the Wu army, protecting his body with a wide wooden tower shield, and slowly advancing. At this time, he had already entered one hundred and twenty steps, but Han Jiading, who was appointed by Yang Zilu as the general of the rear army, did not order the longbow soldiers to shoot, probably preparing to let the Wu army press a little higher before attacking, and at that time, both the accurate surname and the strength of the armor will be much stronger.

Wu Jun saw that Han Jiading had not released the arrow for a long time, and he was a little puzzled, and soon knew Han Jiading's plan. But knowing is knowing, but there is no way but to hold on to the shield. However, probably in the face of the unknown, the Wu soldiers were under a lot of pressure, and the speed of advance couldn't help but slow down a few points. The atmosphere of the battlefield is particularly depressing, and even the originally majestic drum beating, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, or the drummer has been affected by the battlefield atmosphere, and the drum sound has become depressed.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ……”

Without warning, the arrows shot out with great force, piercing the sky like locusts.

The longbowmen were divided into three groups, each of which fired a rain of arrows in about five seconds, which made the sky and the sun fade for a while.

The soldiers of the Wu army secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the previous unknown was too depressing.

"All hiding behind shields!!" The officer of the Wu army shouted loudly.

On the battlefield, the Wu army, which was surging like a turtle, immediately settled down, and the soldiers of the Wu army seemed to have turned into turtles, and the shields were erected layer upon layer. The shield array had just been formed, and the arrows had already attacked.

The clanging sound kept ringing, and from time to time a shield shook because of the strength of the arrow, and another arrow took the opportunity to rush through the gap, and immediately a scream sounded. But after a minute, after the baptism of six rounds of arrow rain, the Wu army did not suffer much damage, and there were probably less than 200 dead and wounded.

Seeing this casualty, the Wu soldiers couldn't help but be demoralized, and a burst of cheers rang out in the battle array.

Although Yang Zilu didn't expect to defeat the other party by relying on the longbowmen, he didn't expect the longbowmen to be restrained to this extent. Yang Zilu shouted to the heralds on standby below: "Go and tell everyone to bring the enemy closer to sixty steps!" ”

"No!" Several heralds answered, immediately turned on their horses, and galloped out.

"Lord, Wu Jun's hand is troublesome!" Hou Xiong's expression now is not regretful, but helpless. No one would have imagined that Wu Jun's defense power was so powerful!

Yang Zilu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Wu Jun used a wooden shield this time, although it is bulky, it is thick!" Armor-piercing arrows don't have much effect when they encounter such a wooden bump! ”

"Do you just let Wu Jun be arrogant? It's infuriating! Hou Xiong said depressedly.

Yang Zilu thought for a moment and shouted below: "Yang Tugou!" Call him over to the widow! ”

When Hou Xiong heard this, he frowned and persuaded: "Lord, although the use of equipment and armored cavalry can break through their battle formation, I am afraid that some of the gains outweigh the losses!" After this battle, I'm afraid that there will be no armored cavalry**! It's not worth it! ”

"Sometimes you don't have to be armoured!" Yang Zilu said with a smile.

When Hou Xiong heard this, he immediately knew that he had misunderstood Yang Zilu's intentions, but he thought for a while, but he couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but ask Yang Zilu curiously: "How do you interpret what the Lord said?" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he turned around and leaned down the wooden ladder, and said with a smile: "Yang Tugou is here, don't you know when you come down?" ”

Hou Xiong originally wanted to come up with it himself, so that Yang Zilu could value it, but he had no choice but to get off the lookout, follow Yang Zilu, and listen to what he said.

"Chenyang Tugou, I have seen the Lord! I don't know why the Lord is looking for his ministers? After Yang Tugou gave a military salute to Yang Zilu, he asked solemnly.

"You immediately send someone to set up the ten thunderbolts in the rear camp for the widow!" Yang Zilu crossed his hands on his waist and said imposingly. "The widow wants to let the people of Wu know that my Han army is not only powerful with longbows!"

When Hou Xiong heard this, he praised from the bottom of his heart: "Lord! The Lord is truly a genius! Such a brilliant idea has been thought of by the Lord! The Wu army will be defeated in this battle! ”

Yang Zilu smiled silently when she heard this.

Yang Tugou didn't know the situation on the front line, and he was a little puzzled, but since Yang Zilu said so, and Hou Xiong said it so exaggeratedly, Yang Tugou also responded and went down to send soldiers to prepare. The heart said, after a while, I understood what the Lord meant, and I wanted to do so much.

Originally, these ten thunderbolt cannons were used by Yang Zilu when he was preparing for the prince's friends not to send troops, or when the Wu army still had a certain amount of troops to defend Gusu City. I can't think of bringing a spare, but I've already used it.

Because the thunderbolt artillery was all ready, and Han Jiading on the front line fired arrows from time to time to disturb, the speed of the Wu army was not too fast. Only then did Yang Tugou set up ten thunderbolt cannons in time. Although these are trebuchets, the name Thunderbolt Cannon naturally represents that these trebuchets are different from ordinary trebuchets, and the Thunderbolt Cannon is already four feet high on the ground, which shows how long its gun tip is.

When the prince saw these ten behemoths behind the Han army, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitated, and asked Shou Yuyao: "General, what is this?" ”

Shou Yu Yao said that he had participated in the war in Zhejiang, so he had naturally seen a trebuchet, and comforted the prince: "Prince, this is the weapon of the Han barbarian, called trebuchet." You can shoot stones very far, and the accuracy is average! ”

"But our army is so dense! I'm afraid I can't hide from it! "Prince Friend is not stupid, he thought of the key point at once. Unfortunately, it was too late, and only a violent whistling sound could be heard.

Prince You and Shou Yu Yao raised their heads and saw ten boulders churning in the air. But I don't know when it was thrown out by a trebuchet, just looking at the momentum, I already saw that the prince was terrified. Not to mention the small soldiers on the battlefield, one by one, they were so frightened that they were colorless.

But whether they were frightened or colorless, the boulders still fell, but the thunderbolt cannon was a trebuchet, not a cannon, and in such a huge battle formation, only five boulders fell in the battle array. The other five pieces either fell in the middle of the battlefield, or were shot away on the periphery of the battlefield, or crossed the war of the Wu army and fell behind.

However, the power of those five boulders was enough to drink a pot, and I saw that the boulder fell in the battle array, and immediately smashed four or five Wu soldiers into meat sauce, which was not counted, and under the impetus of Yu Li, it was rolling all the way. In the battle formation of the Wu army, a flesh and blood road four or five zhang long was glued.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Wu army were frightened, many soldiers of the Wu army who were recruited vomited when they saw this tragic situation.

"Salvo !!" Han Jiading doesn't have the demeanor of a gentleman, his belief in life is to take advantage of your illness and kill you! At this moment, the Wu army is in chaos, where may such a good opportunity be missed?

Fifteen hundred longbowmen unleashed their bowstrings in unison, but the rain of arrows was not only for the longbowmen, but also for three thousand five hundred crossbows. All because the Han infantry were ready to use crossbows, although they were not full-time crossbowmen, but in such a large war, individual archery skills had been reduced to almost negligible.

Wu Jun was caught off guard by being killed, and the distance was much closer. Second, the tragic situation caused by the trebuchet made many Wu soldiers stunned, or they were vomiting. Especially those soldiers who have vomited, even if they react, after vomiting, their limbs are weak, how to hold their shields steady?

The rain of arrows flew down, and immediately killed the Wu soldiers with heavy losses, especially the longbowmen, whose arrow rain was like a continuous torrential rain. The unprepared Wu army was completely unable to react, and could only support it under the rain of arrows.

Seeing this situation, Yang Zilu immediately changed his strategy, and without waiting for the Wu army to take the lead in attacking, he had already ordered the cavalry to take the initiative to attack.

Seeing that the Han army had suddenly changed from a defender to an attacker, Prince You panicked and hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Let the chariots go into battle! Defeat the barbarians! ”

Shou Yuyao wanted to stop it too late, only to see the Wu army's military vehicles rushing out like a monstrous wave.

The Han longbowmen immediately retreated behind the infantry, and the infantry immediately picked up their spears and formed a forest of thorns. As for the cavalry, they are even more afraid of the troop car, when they see the troop attack, they immediately disturb, if the troop chases after it, it is to escape, anyway, the troop chaser is not chasing, and it is not as flexible as the cavalry when it catches up, and a sharp turn is enough for the troop chariot to stare. The chariots counterattacked, but they were no match for the cavalry, and the cavalry each prepared a crossbow. And there were three people on the chariot, one driver, one archer, and one hand-to-hand soldier.

Not to mention that the cavalry is much more than the number of chariots of the Wu army, and if you shoot one arrow, the other party has already shot three or four arrows. The cavalry suppressed the chariots on both wings of the Wu army, and it was not to kill the cavalry, nor to kill the infantry, nor to advance, nor to retreat, just like headless flies on both wings of the battlefield.
