At the foot of Liupan Mountain.

The low war drums sounded unhurriedly, Zhuge Liang sat on the command car of the Chinese army, and the cold north wind blew in his face, blowing him all over his body, and his face was like a knife. But he didn't feel cold at all, but had a feeling of blood boiling.

Zhang He hid on the grassland for more than a month, but finally couldn't dodge, and Zuihou still led the army to fight him. Here is the battlefield he picks Haode, the valley in the north and south direction is long and narrow, which is conducive to the defense of the infantry and is not conducive to the gallop of the cavalry, which can curb the power of the Wei cavalry to the greatest extent.

He believed that with the favorable terrain and the various ordnance that he had been preparing for a long time, he could compete with Zhang He and block Zhang He's way. If he can kill and injure a large number of Wei troops because of this, it will be even better, and the future battle situation will be very favorable to him.

If Zhang He's main force does not appear, he will not be able to lead the army out of Longyou, and the strategic goal of capturing Longyou will not be achieved for a long time. For him, it was an ordeal. Fortunately, now he has finally come to the bitter end, not only Wei Ba defeated Lu Xun, achieved an unexpected victory, and ensured the supply of food, Zhang He couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to invite the battle, and the battle finally moved forward according to his expectations.

"Prime Minister, Wei Jun seems to be a little hesitant." Yang Yi stood behind Zhuge Liang, leaned over, and reminded in a low voice. The weather was too cold, and when he opened his mouth, he felt the cold wind pour into his mouth.

"What can you do if you hesitate?" Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Unless he can fly over with his wings inserted, otherwise, he won't want to enter Guanzhong." When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Zhang He has been fighting for many years, so it shouldn't be hesitation, maybe he is waiting for more opportunities. ”

Yang Yi asked puzzledly: "The two sides are facing each other, what more opportunities can there be?" ”

"Wei Gong, you are not standing in the formation, if you are holding a weapon and standing in the formation, you will probably be able to understand what Zhang He is waiting for."

Yang Yi rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more. He didn't want to stand with a group of common militiamen in this weather with a cold and biting weapon. Unknowingly. The wind seems to be stronger. Yang Yi could barely open her eyes.

At this moment, the Wei army in front suddenly moved, and a team of crossbowmen walked out of the large array and quickly approached the position of the Shu Han army. Yang Yi suddenly closed her mouth. Engrossed in looking at the front line. At the same time, he wrapped the big coat on his body. Zhuge Liang stood up. The body moved, and then stopped again, with one hand behind him. Gently look into the distance.

"Prime Minister, will you order the ballista to shoot?" Yang Yi looked at Zhuge Liang: "Your improved repeater has a long range and can shoot at them." ”

"There's no hurry." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and motioned for Yang Yi not to speak. He paid attention to the battle flag in the front, the Hubu middle battalion led by Jiang Wei was facing the Wei army, and the time had come to be the first to engage and test Jiang Wei.

In the first battle with Jiang Wei, Zhuge Liang was under a lot of pressure. Although Jiang Wei is a native of Liangzhou and is also familiar with the art of war, so far, he has not fought in a war, let alone served in the task of the first battle. When Zhuge Liang decided to use the Hubu camp to put it at the forefront, many people objected, including Yang Yi.

The Hubu battalion is a forbidden army, and the elite of the soldiers, of course, needless to say. Jiang Wei led the middle battalion, and the results of the training were also good, which is obvious to all. But after all, those are drills and go to the battlefield, which is probably another matter. There are many generals with battlefield experience in the battalion, such as Guan Xing, such as Zhang Wei, weishenme don't need them to fight for the first time, do you have to use Jiang Wei, who has no battlefield experience? What if he was caught off guard and lost his spirit.

Many people privately questioned that Zhuge Liang was the same as the last time he used Ma Tan, and he was a teacher for his own use, and he wanted to make meritorious contributions to his cronies. Everyone can see that Ma Tan is now close to the prime minister, far less close than before, and now the prime minister is most favored by this Liangzhou general. Such words reached Zhuge Liang's ears a lot, and some of them were even deliberately said to Zhuge Liang.

Today, in the face of the powerful main force of the Wei army, the main force of the Shu army will usher in its first fierce battle, and Jiang Wei will also usher in a test of life. Whether he can pass the test is not only related to his own future, but also to Zhuge Liang's reputation.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be nervous.

Jiang Wei was also nervous. At this moment, he was standing in the middle of the front formation, with his hands behind his back, looking at the Wei army that was getting closer and closer. When Wei Jun's footsteps stepped over the position he had set in advance, his heartstrings seemed to be plucked, and there was a soft "bang".

"General, do you want to start firing?" The strong crossbow captain asked Jiang Wei for instructions.

"No hurry, wait."

The strong crossbow captain glanced at him and said nothing. Jiang Wei raised his hand and waved it lightly: "Raise the shield!" Prepare for the strong archers! ”

The herald immediately relented and shouted: "Raise your shield—strong archers, prepare—"

There was a "bang", and the shield-bearer standing at the front raised his huge shield. The strong archers wound their bows one after another, raising their bows and pointing diagonally forward.

The Wei army was a little surprised to see that it did not encounter the resistance of the Shu army. But the accident was only for a moment, and they immediately continued forward, another twenty paces. The soldiers in the front row held their shields, cautiously looking at the positions of the Shu army, ready to cover themselves with shields at any time.

Twenty steps, not far away, the Wei army stopped and set up a position.

"Shoot!" With a loud roar, the crossbowmen released the bowstrings in their hands, and dozens of long arrows roared up, drawing an arc in the air, and then flew down, shooting straight at the front of the Shu army.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Wei also gave the order to shoot. The strong archer released the bowstring and fired the first long arrows.

Two groups of long arrows met in the air, passed by, and shot at each other's positions.

The soldiers on both sides raised their shields, but some were still shot by arrows and fell to the ground, screaming terriblely. The Wei army had the upper hand, and the arrows took advantage of the wind to shoot farther, and a few arrows even hit the rear of the Hubu battalion. Those soldiers did not expect that they were shot by a soldier, and a panic rippled in the position of the Hubu battalion like a ripple.

When Jiang Wei saw it, his brows tightened, and he shouted: "Tiger step!" ”

The soldiers of the Hubu battalion were startled, and subconsciously followed Jiang Wei and shouted: "Hubu! Tiger step! These two roars immediately suppressed the panic.

"Everyone, raise your shield!" Jiang Wei roared loudly, raised a step shield, protected his face, strode towards the front of the formation, until he walked to the front of the formation, turned to face the soldiers of the Hubu battalion, raised his knife and shouted: "Tiger step!" ”

Seeing that his superiors were so brave and still fearless in the rain of arrows from the enemy, those panicked Hubu battalion soldiers couldn't help but feel ashamed. The shield-bearer raised his shield higher, and the strongbowman shot harder, and the whoosh was incessant.

Jiang Wei turned around, and the three guards stood in front of him, using their shields to build a cover for him. Jiang Wei greeted the rain of arrows, looked at the Wei army crossbowmen not far away, and slowly raised his hand: "Kick the crossbow, prepare!" ”

One of the guards passed the order out, and the crossbow captain was surprised for a moment, but still gave the order. Under normal circumstances, this distance is shot with an arm-tensioned crossbow and a strong bow, which can guarantee both the shooting liliang and the rate of fire. Although the Liliang is stronger, the rate of fire will be worse. But since Jiang Wei gave the order, the crossbowmen still faithfully carried it out.

Jiang Wei stared at the Wei army's position, and when the Wei army took another twenty steps forward, he waved his hand fiercely: "Shoot!" ”

Hundreds of crossbows were fired together, and powerful arrows tore through the cold wind and rushed straight to the Wei army's position.

"Plop puff!" The sharp arrow shot at the shield, pierced deep into the shield, shot at the Wei army's armor, and pierced into the body of the Wei army.

Although the number of arrows in this array is small, the power is very strong, and although it flies against the wind, it is still full of lethality. The Wei army was stunned all of a sudden, and fell down, and the formation was in chaos.

"Shoot again!" Jiang Wei shouted loudly.

Kicking the crossbow and firing again, three shots in one go.

The crossbowmen of the Wei army were caught off guard and fell one piece, and the power of the arrow array was suddenly greatly reduced. Although they did not retreat, their morale was greatly affected.

The soldiers of the Hubu battalion were overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted.

Jiang Wei sneered, turned around and returned to the formation, greeted by the burning gaze of the Hubu Battalion soldiers.

Listening to the sound of war drums in front, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and sat down. Yang Yi looked at the front battle in confusion, and then looked at Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, Jiang Wei Weishenme does not meet the battle according to the method of battle, and the number of arrow arrays just now is insufficient." ”

"Majestic, according to the times." Zhuge Liang raised a finger and pointed to the sky covered by dark clouds: "The wind is too strong. ”

Yang Yi suddenly realized, and a trace of shame flashed on her face.

Zhang Heduan sat on his horse, looked at the Wei army that had been defeated in the front, and waved his hand quietly: "Order, retreat, prepare for the big shield to fight again." ”

The herald ran away quickly, and Qin Lang frowned slightly: "General, the arrow array of the Shu army is beyond our imagination, and this general surnamed Jiang Wei has a good grasp of the timing." ”

"What the general said is very true." Zhang He bowed slightly, maintaining his respect for Qin Lang. "They're all foot soldiers, and they're able to carry large crossbows, and it's normal for them to be stronger than us. Jiang Wei was originally from Xiliang, he was familiar with the battle formation, and his grasp of the fighter was better than that of ordinary people who were new to the battle formation, which was not a concern. However, he still can't hold his breath after all, wouldn't it be better to wait? ”

Qin Lang also smiled: "General, your requirements are too high, right?" ”

Zhang He shook his head: "It's not high, if Wei Ba is here, probably few of these crossbowmen I sent will be able to come back." If you want to do it, you have to do it absolutely, otherwise how to stand up. ”

Hearing Wei Ba's name, the smile on Qin Lang's face froze. He remembered the battle in Xiangyang, and he thought that Wei Ba was just lucky, but now, he was a little glad that he didn't fight against Wei Ba for the first time when he led the troops independently. As Zhang He said, if Wei Ba was here, none of these crossbowmen sent out to test would probably not be able to come back.

If you want to do it, you must do it. Jiang Wei did a good job, but he wasn't perfect...... (To be continued......)
