Under Qiao Ren's leadership, Zhang Zhao and others combined the "Nine Chapters of Law" of the Han Dynasty and the "Shu Branch" of the Shu Han Dynasty to write 12 laws of Soochow's own, which added specific introductions and annotations to each article, and incorporated the new tax law formulated by Qiao Ren into it. At the same time, in view of the fact that there are quite a lot of foreigners in Jianye, Qiao Ren also made the following provisions in it: "Those who commit crimes against the same kind of outsiders shall be judged by law according to their own common law." "It is used to adjust various legal relationships with foreign-related elements. It was compiled into a volume with twelve main methods and various annotations, and Qiao Ren named it "Da Wu Shu Yi".

Because the "Great Wu Shu Yi" summarizes the legislative experience and judicial practice of previous dynasties, compromises the gains and losses, and makes it systematic and thorough, its legislation is more prudent, the content is more thorough, the entries are more concise, and the interpretation is more accurate. Its legislative theory is based on Confucianism, and feudal ethics and morality are the basis of its legal ideology, so it has become the main tool of Wu to maintain the feudal economic foundation and its superstructure, and adjust all aspects of social relations. Although it is a feudal law, its progress is still visible, after all, Qiao Ren is in an era when the feudal society is not complete, and it is impossible to compile a capitalist code by codifying the law.

At the same time as the promulgation and implementation of the "Great Wu Shu Discussion", a skirmish broke out in the Nanyang area of Jingzhou, but Qiao Ren was worried.

On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the wind was not strong on the banks of the water, and the dust was not raised, and it was a good time for a decisive victory in the field, and this vast plain area was also an excellent battlefield for large-scale corps operations.

The reason for this confrontation was that the Wei army, which was trapped in Wancheng, asked Sima Yi of Xuchang for help, requesting that the Wu army camp outside Wancheng be cleared in order to keep Wancheng's grain route open. And Sima Yi readily agreed, and sent the young general Deng Ai and the eldest son Sima Shi to lead 5,000 foot cavalry out of Xuchang, and the Wu army of Ling Tong, Li Yi, and Liu A of the garrison outside Wancheng was also not to be outdone, leading a total of more than 6,000 infantry and cavalry to block the enemy and prevent him from joining with the outside.

After Ling Cao's death. Ling Tong took over the command of the Ma Xian knights, and more than half of the original Ma Xian knights were killed or wounded, but fortunately, Wu now has a horse source, so Ling Tong has pulled up 3,000 cavalry within two years. At the beginning of the sun, Ling Tong and his cavalry corps set up an attack formation and slowly marched north along the river bank. Scouts were scattered for miles, and from time to time they rushed back and forth, reporting the latest information on the enemy. When Ling Tong learned that it was within a radius of more than ten miles. Except for Deng Ai, Sima Shi and their 5,000-foot cavalry, when there were no other soldiers and horses, Ling Tong was relieved.

The afterglow of the sun shone on the ground, and after half an hour, both sides discovered their opponents almost simultaneously. It's like two black clouds. Slowly swept over the dry plains, as long as they collided. There will be lightning and thunder.

Because the distance is only more than 100 zhang. However, his own cavalry was far outnumbered by the enemy, so after careful consideration, Ling Tong decided to take the lead in attacking.

Under one order, three thousand horsemen equipped with the finest armor and the most powerful protection were like a bright golden arrow, rolling up the dust everywhere. Roaring out of the army. At this time, the Wei army on the opposite side also moved. More than a thousand cavalry roared, swept in dust. Two torrents of black and white collided fiercely a few minutes later.

Like the sharpest of two spears. Accurately struck each other together, and the ability of people who burst out in an instant to turn over on their backs was like the sky falling apart. This was the second head-to-head confrontation between the Ma Xian cavalry and the Cao Wei cavalry, and although Ling Tong had abandoned his father's long-range crossbow machine melee sword and was fully equipped with Wu swords and small knight shields, his transformation was clearly not very successful.

Under the impact of the first wave, a gap was torn open on the right flank of his formation, and Ling Tong keenly noticed the rapidly changing fighters on the battlefield, so he immediately commanded the Chinese army to attack and kill the gap in a wedge-shaped formation. As long as this gap can be torn apart and widened, and then the Wei army's formation can be divided into two, then there will be no suspense about the outcome of this battle.

In the war of cold weapons, the formation is very important, even if it is a cavalry that is known for its mobility. A quarter of an hour later, the Wei army was cut in two by Ling Tong's headquarters, and the more than 6,000 cavalry far away from the water lost the protection of the flank, and were soon divided and surrounded by the Wu army, and annihilated one by one.

Ling Tong, who commanded in the battle formation, did not take the lead as he did when he was young, and rushed to the front as if he was dying. At this age, after the death of this old father, this Jiang Biaohu general has finally matured, and he is getting closer and closer to the direction of a general, not just a charging general.

Although the commander of the Wei army, Deng Ai, was not very confident against Ling Tong, he still showed all his ability and tried to be protected by the Xiliang cavalry outside the city in a head-to-head confrontation in the field. But he soon realized that his command ability was still a little tender after all. Just after the first wave of shocks revealed flaws, he knew that his dream was shattered again.

However, this time he didn't just want to prove his command ability, although the Wei army was almost defeated in the battle, but with an indifferent smile on his face, looking at the Wu army's menacing and unstoppable iron cavalry from afar, Deng Ai sneered, waved his hand and said: "The time is almost up, pass my order, retreat." ”

In a sorghum field on the road of the Wei army's retreat, Sima Shi and five hundred strange Wei troops were sitting on the ground. "How's the battle going up ahead?" Sima Shi asked the captain who came in a hurry.

The lieutenant gasped and replied: "The battle formation of the Wu army is really powerful, General Deng Ai is invincible, and he has already ordered to retreat to this side at this moment." ”

"Good !!" Sima Shi actually applauded loudly when he was defeated, and it was really strange to fight today. "Quick, give the order to go down and get the armies ready for battle. No one is allowed to give my order, and must not act without permission, and those who violate the order will not be pardoned."

The order quickly spread throughout the army from top to bottom, and everyone's spirits were excited. Some people are silently wiping their weapons, some people are loading arrows for a strange crossbow machine, and some people can't hold back the tension in their hearts, scratching their heads and scratching their ears, and some are at a loss.

On the bank of the Shuishui River, within a radius of dozens of miles, there are no mountains, no forests, no valley roads, at a glance, the flat terrain extends to the sky, and the white clouds are connected, it can be said that this is a natural excellent place for the large army to engage in frontal battles. In a sense, this place is not suitable for calculations, but there are no absolutes. Traveling eastward along the north bank of the river, about twenty miles southeast of Wancheng, the river becomes wider and wider, and along the extension line of the river bank for three or four miles, there is tall and dense sorghum, and more than 1,000 people are hiding in it, as long as they do not take the initiative to expose, there is no way to see it at all.

Two or three minutes later, the plump prey arrived as scheduled, and it was an army of nearly 5,000 mixed infantry, who were basically in a row of five people, galloping in a wild goose formation.

These are the elite of the Wu army, they are stained with blood, their faces are full of murderous aura, and their fighting spirit is as high as a tide, all their attention is focused on the defeated soldiers of the Wei army not far ahead, eager to immediately catch up and kill all these deserters who have no intention of fighting, but they are unaware of the killing opportunities in the reeds that are ambushed and moved with the wind.

At this moment, shaken by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and choked by the flying dust, the Wei soldiers in the sorghum field, their hearts had already risen to their throats, and everyone's hearts were so excited that they were about to burst out of their chests.

And Sima Shi's palms in the depths of the sorghum field are also pinched with a handful of sweat, at this juncture, he has to show great calmness after the first battle, and deliberately his face has always maintained his unique kind of seemingly faint smile.

Finally, after most of the Wu army entered the ambush zone, Sima Shi shouted loudly: "The time has come, beat the drums"

In the depths of the sorghum fields, the six-sided cowhide drums beat wildly, and the earth-shattering sound of the drums drowned out the sound of horses' hooves galloping, which could be heard clearly within a radius of several miles.

As soon as the war drums sounded, the time to attack had come, and the Wei army ambushed the soldiers from the sorghum field in unison, pushing aside the sorghum that was more than one person high, and the strange crossbow arrows in their hands, like the eyes of death, were coldly aimed at the enemy seven or eight steps away.

Whoosh –

In an instant, more than 500 arrows burst out in a volley like a hornet's nest. The Wei army and the Wu army were only seven or eight meters apart at most, and at such a close distance, how powerful was the lethality of such a dense rain of arrows. In just an instant, more than 100 Wu troops on the very edge were nailed to the ground.

The sudden attack immediately plunged the Wu army into great confusion, and before they could figure out the direction of the attack, the hand of death really stretched out to them.

Like pulling the trigger, it was the simplest mechanical repetition that in fifteen seconds, nearly 10,000 arrows were fired like machine-gun bullets.

What kind of concept is this, which is equivalent to the number of arrows per square meter has reached as many as ten, and the dense striking power of today, if played in slow motion, looks like a wall made of crossbow arrows, pushing flat towards the enemy a few steps away.

Ling Tong in the brigade was red at this time, just in the first burst of arrow rain, the pioneer captain Lu Xun's favorite general Li Yi had been shot into a hedgehog, he originally expected that even if the enemy had an ambush but it was nothing more than that, watching the dense enemy of the arrow rain was only five hundred people, but what happened next made him incomprehensible, no matter whether the enemy used a crossbow or a bow, it seemed that there was no need to load the arrows, and the arrows were tilted as if they didn't need money. The combined army formation of four or five thousand infantry and cavalry collapsed in the blink of an eye. When he found the enemy's origin in the chaotic killing fields, his whole heart felt like he had fallen into a desperate and cold valley.

"Zhuge crossbow, how can it be Zhuge crossbow." After a brief moment of stunnedness, the name of a new type of weapon was shouted out by Ling Tong, but there was no time to ponder it now, "Withdraw the army quickly!" (To be continued......)
