Fighter?!

When Li Dao and Guo Yan heard such a shout, they almost wanted to scold. The Xiliang Army is known for its bravery, never afraid of battle, whether it is a heads-up or a group fight, and has staged a rare heads-up fight in the Three Kingdoms era. But since Ma Han's unbelievable arrow pierced the two outside Caoyang Pavilion, the entire Xiliang army, regardless of how conceited the fierce generals, no longer dared to "go head-to-head" in front of this person.

In the face of ultra-distant sniping, all the courage and courage seem so pale and powerless. Flinch in front of this person and not be ashamed.

The white wolf team shouted three times in a row: "Who dares to let the horse come?" ”

The wind is sluggish, and no one dares to respond.

So the White Wolves changed their words: "If that's the case, then let the dog come!" With that, he turned around and galloped into battle.

After a while, the two sides flew above the building, the flags waved frequently, and the war drums beat at the same time, indicating that the battle array was about to begin.

The left and right wings of the white wolf army moved together, Zhou Cang led the left flank of four hundred white wolf infantry, one hundred sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, strong crossbowmen, and axe and mallet soldiers, ten steps and one drum, and marched in turn; Xu Huang led 500 new troops and followed closely.

At the same time, the infantry formations on the left and right flanks of the Xiliang Army on the opposite side also began to move.

On the left wing, Wang Changdu had 1,000 soldiers, and on the right wing Wu Xidu had 1,000 soldiers, totaling 2,000 foot soldiers, and a total of 900 infantry troops of the White Wolf Army and the New Army.

Both sides left two or three percent of the infantry combat force as reserves, and at the same time sent hundreds of light cavalry to protect the left and right flanks of the infantry.

Li Wei sat under the yellow umbrella cover of the chariot, pressed the treasure knife in his hand, and stared closely at the approaching four phalanxes, even though he had experienced dozens of battles, he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart. After all, the significance of this battle is too important, if lost. At least for a year or two, he will not be able to make a comeback, and it is a question of whether he can even stay in Chang'an.

At this time, the number of horses galloped closer, and one of them arched his hand and said: "Uncle, rest assured, our army is twice as large as the Liaodong people, and it is an elite soldier; Although the Liaodong people are well equipped, most of them are new pawns. As long as the battle is fought violently and tears through the enemy's formation, the morale of the people in Liaodong will collapse and our army will win. ”

The person who spoke was Li Xian. What he said about "Liaodong people are well equipped" refers to the infantry of the White Wolf Army, except for the archers and crossbowmen, all light and heavy infantry wear leather helmets and armor. In these years, there are very few armies that can implement two-gear armor on every melee soldier, and there are basically no full-helmet infantry, so it is no wonder that Li Xian's eyes are red.

If this is heard by the horseman. I'm afraid that I will laugh out loud, because Li Xian obviously didn't grasp the point. The really good equipment of the White Wolf Light Infantry is weapons, not the so-called armor. However, the broadsword of the sword and shield soldier is hidden behind the shield. Although the spears of the pikemen pointed to the sky like a forest, they looked similar to the spears from a distance, and did not attract the attention of the generals of Xiliang. They were basically attracted by the full armor of the White Wolf Infantry. One by one, they made up their minds and prepared to snatch off their armor after defeating the White Wolf Army.

Li Wei didn't look at his nephew, and said with a calm face: "Return to your command position." The cavalry will attack at any time, and you will have to go into battle yourself. "Zheng! The sword was unsheathed, shining in the sun, and pointed far away, "In today's battle, if you can attack the enemy's army and force the horse to move, this treasure knife will be rewarded to you!" ”

Well, take advantage of the superiority of troops and force the horse to move. This is Li Wei's greatest expectation, as soon as Daxu moves, the enemy army will be chaotic, so victory is in sight, as for what will be killed and capture the flag, he dare not think about it. With the strength of that person's force, he couldn't think of any one in the Xiliang Army, or which ones could work together to accomplish this impossible task.

As if in response to the sound of Li Daobao's sword unsheathed, the two armies advanced to about 180 paces and began to engage - but, to be precise, it was the White Wolf Army that struck first.

One hundred and eighty steps is the effective attack range of the Tiger Crossbow, and at this distance, the Xiliang Army can only be abused.

Zhou Cang gave an order, the army formation stopped, and a hundred crossbowmen came out of the formation, divided into two rows in front of the front and back, and staggered in front of the formation. The horn sounded, the crossbowmen stepped on the crossbow rings, the hand board pulled the rod, the iron arrow entered the groove, and the arm was raised to aim.

Shoot in 180 steps?! Wu Xi, the right wing of the Xiliang Army who was targeted, was a little blind, could it be that the Liaodong people used a rhubarb crossbow? It seems that only this kind of strong crossbow in the world can shoot two or three hundred steps. However, the rhubarb crossbow has never been equipped with only the Northern and Southern Army (Central Army) and the three auxiliary battalions (that is, the Yongying and Chang'an battalions), and there are absolutely no county soldiers, and the border army can only apply for it when there is a large-scale border war. Each one is registered, and must be returned to the warehouse after the battle, and any damage must be detailed.

Liaodong has not had a major border conflict for many years, and it is basically impossible to equip it with this kind of strong crossbow, and the Xiliang army has grabbed a lot of rhubarb crossbows from the Luoyang arsenal, but that was during the early peace period. In the past few years, there have been frequent wars, repeated tossing, this kind of strong crossbow is easy to damage, difficult to repair delicate weapons, at present, in the three Xiliang Army, can not find 50 intact rhubarb crossbows.

Although Wu Xi couldn't believe it, he still ordered the whole army to slow down, the sword and shield soldiers moved closer to each other, raised their shields to defend, and the rest of the soldiers followed slowly.

As soon as the White Wolf Infantry Army stopped, the new army of Luoyang also stopped, otherwise it would become a salient and be attacked by the two wings of the Xiliang Army. Similarly, Wu Xibu's army formation slowed down the speed of its march, and Wang Chang could only follow slowly, trying to keep a parallel line with the friendly army, so as not to march too fast and be attacked by the white wolf army.

On the earthen platform, Ma Han smiled at Jia Xu with satisfaction: "What is the name of the infantry commander of Guo Yanjun...... Oh, Wu Xi, he'll soon regret why he had to cooperate with our army as a target......"

Jia Xu had never seen the power of the white wolf's powerful crossbow, but when he heard that the lord was so confident, he also smiled and said, "I'll wait for the test." ”

When Ma Han was chatting and laughing with Jia Xu on the earthen platform, the first wave of arrows was shot, and the Battle of Hangu officially began.

Fifty arrows fired in unison, buzzing - the battlefield resounded with the sound of flying arrows breaking through the air.

Tuk tuk, the wooden shield penetrates, revealing the edge, which makes the shield-wielding soldiers tremble. Puff puff, some of the crossbow arrows flew through the gap in or above the wooden shield, hitting the soldiers behind, accompanied by a burst of miserable howls, the Xiliang army formation stirred a little, and soon recovered under the pressure of the officers, and the team was able to continue to advance.

The fifty arrows in the front row of the white wolf crossbowmen are fired, and when the crossbow is reloaded, the fifty crossbowmen in the back row hold the crossbow to attack.

Tuk tuk, puff, puff, and more than ten Xiliang pawns fell.

It's only two or three breaths. The front row of strong crossbowmen fired again. This time, as it was close to one hundred and fifty paces, the number of fallen soldiers increased significantly.

After seven or eight rounds, a hundred white wolf crossbowmen shot a total of nearly 400 crossbow arrows, and the result was that after Wu Xi's thousand-man army array advanced one hundred and twenty paces, there were corpses left behind the formation, as well as wounded soldiers groaning all over the ground.

In the advancing military formation, no one dared to turn back, because of the harsh military discipline. Those who dare to turn back can be beheaded by the soldiers behind them, and their wealth and wealth can be collected. Although no one looked back, the scream was terrifying.

Guo Yan saw it really in the Chinese army, just these waves of strong attacks, more than 100 soldiers fell, and before the two armies engaged, ten pavilions were folded to one pavilion. His face suddenly looked ugly, and he felt bad.

When Wu Xi's infantry formation marched to 100 paces, the pressure increased sharply. At this point, the wooden shield could no longer resist the powerful crossbow bolts. The sword and shield soldiers who originally leaned on the barrier turned out to be meat on the chopping board at this time. Under the fierce blows of the storm, sawdust and flesh flew together, and armor and hard bones were shattered.

By the time the Xiliang army braved the rain of arrows and marched to eighty paces, the three rows of sword and shield soldiers in front had been cleared. At this time, the right wing of the Xiliang Army was in formation. It is like an oyster whose hard shell has been lifted, revealing the tender flesh inside.

The scalp-tingling sound was clearly audible. Tight Tight Tight Tight! Burst after burst. The right-wing Xiliang Army fell one after another, and the blood mist filled the air, and the mourning was everywhere.

Not to mention Wang Chang's Xiliang Left Wing Army Formation not far away, even if it was the new army of Luoyang, they were all dumbfounded. In addition to the screams and sorrows on the battlefield, there was also the sound of collective sizzling and inhaling......

Wu Xi now has an urge to slap himself - he also slows down his march, which is simply a live target for the other party!

"Rush! Rush! Although Wu Xi also knew that no matter how loud his voice was in this chaotic scene, he couldn't help but shout hoarsely, as if this was the way to vent his inner fear.

The trumpeters on Wu Xi's left and right bragged hard to urge the soldiers to attack. However, the Xiliang army on the right flank had been killed, and the soldiers in the front row looked in fear at the oncoming deadly crossbow arrows, and retreated with all their might, while the soldiers in the back row rushed forward under the sound of horns and the shouting and whipping of non-commissioned officers. The two of them were huddled together, and it was chaotic.

This is a live target delivered to your door! The white wolf crossbowmen struggled to plank the pole, put the arrow, aim, and launch, and the cycle began again and again, and in just one moment, most of the forty-eight crossbow arrows in the two large pots they carried were consumed. The strong crossbowmen used the six-stone crossbow, the six-stone crossbow of this era, wound with the strength of the waist and legs, at most ten or twenty shots, it will be tired. In other words, the ranged kill output, twenty hits is the upper limit. However, the shooting tiger crossbow made of eccentric wheel torque saving torque has a maximum of 60 shots, which is more than twice the normal one. This double blow has become a nightmare for the Xiliang army......

Due to the frequent shooting in a short period of time, the body loss was too huge, and after thirty blows, the rate of fire of the white wolf crossbowmen slowed down significantly, and before two or three breaths could shoot a arrow, now it is at least five or six breaths, or even longer. At this time, the Xiliang army has approached sixty steps, which is already the range of the infantry archers, as long as the Xiliang army advances ten steps further, the infantry archers in the middle of its army formation can be thrown into the air, and the rapid fire of bows and arrows can counter the strong crossbowmen. Before that, the white wolf crossbowmen had to give up shooting and kill, scatter into the formation, and retreat into the chariot formation under the cover of the cavalry on both wings...... But it was these last ten steps, but the Xiliang army couldn't hold on. Because of the heavy casualties, it has reached the peak of an army's bearing, not to mention Wu Xi, even if Guo Yan personally went down to supervise the battle, it was useless.

In the face of hundreds of rout soldiers who turned around and ran wildly, shouting and abandoning their weapons, Wu Xi and a group of servants slashed and slashed with their lives to no avail. In the end, the enraged rout of the army provoked ferocity, rushed up, and killed several overseers in succession. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the left and right, Wu Xi would have almost been trampled to death by his own rebels......

Only a hundred white wolf crossbowmen defeated thousands of Xiliang soldiers, and the benefits of the white wolf's crossbow arrows have become a taboo for Xiliang people since then.

The right flank array of the Xiliang Army collapsed, immediately isolating Wang Chang's left flank array. Wang Chang, who had been in battle for a long time, saw that the situation was not good, but the sound of hitting the cymbals did not come from this formation for a long time. If the gold is not announced, it will not retreat. Wang Chang's forehead was sweating profusely, Da Sima (although he was stroked, but Wang Chang was used to it) What's wrong? Is it hard to die here......

Xu Huang is also an experienced general, and when the right flank of the Xiliang army was about to collapse, he decisively ordered an attack. When Xu Huang personally led five hundred strong soldiers to pounce up, Wang Chang knew that he couldn't retreat if he wanted to......

When Xu Huang's right-wing army and Wang Chang's left-wing Xiliang army were in a melee, Ma Han on the earth platform quickly exchanged opinions with Jia Xu, and immediately issued an order, raised his hand and pointed, and the standard-bearer quickly waved the flag to the trumpeter on the flying tower to give the order. After receiving the order, the trumpeter quickly conveyed the order to the white wolf army on the left flank.

Zhou Cang received the order and immediately divided his army into two, the light infantry pursued and killed the router, and the heavy infantry flanked Wang Chang's army from the right flank.

And unwilling to defeat the Xiliang Army, the Chinese army's main formation is also a frequent sound of horns, accompanied by the desolate horn sound, the sound of hooves roaring, like a dry day muffled thunder rolling in.

Xiliang Iron Cavalry, dispatched. (To be continued......)
