Chapter 912: Hand-to-hand combat

The Qin army that Cao Ren knew would stop at a distance from the enemy in the past, and fire arrows at the enemy with the help of a powerful crossbow with a longer range than the enemy.

But this time the Qin army did not do that, and they chose to stop where Cao Jun's arrows could also shoot them.

As soon as the large array of the two sides stopped, the Pu Dao soldiers at the front of the Qin army's array let out a shout in unison, the Pu Dao soldiers in the front half squatted on the ground and held the ground with their shields, while the second row of Pu Dao soldiers stepped forward and put their shields on the shields of the Pu Dao soldiers in the front row.

The Pu Dao soldiers in the back, the shields in their hands will be slightly tilted upward, forming a solid shield array in front of the strong crossbow array.

As soon as the shield array of the Pu Dao soldiers was lined up, the strong crossbowmen drew their feather arrows from the quiver one after another, hid behind the shield array, and aimed at the Cao army formation on the opposite side.

At the same time as the Qin army was arrayed, the Cao army was also arrayed, but the formation listed by the Cao army was more like many shield walls built one after another.

Walls of shields stood in front of Cao's army, and behind the shield walls stood not only heavy infantry with large shields, but also strong crossbowmen who had already hung arrows on their bowstrings.

On the side of the large array on both sides, there was an officer in charge of commanding the large array, and while the large array was ready, he raised his arm high.

The officers of the large array on both sides did not look at each other's arrays, but turned their heads to look at the flags of the Chinese army behind them.

When the large array was raised, Lu Bu and Cao Ren gave the order almost at the same time: "Attack!" ”

With the command issued by the two of them almost at the same time, in the main formations on both sides, a large flag immediately swayed in the wind.

Although the flag-bearers of both sides who were waving the big flag knew that they only wanted to wave the flag and could not kill or injure the enemy soldiers, they still waved the big flag very hard.

When the banner waved, the officers on the sides of the two arrays also pressed their arms down almost at the same time, shouting: "Release the arrow!" ”

After shouting this, the two officers hurriedly bent their waists and quickly drilled into their own large array.

As soon as their figures disappeared into the array, black pressed arrows flew out of the large array opposite.

The Qin army's strong crossbowmen fired arrows, which were launched in echelons, and the first batch of arrows was fired, and then the second batch was launched.

However, the longbowmen of the Cao army were not as orderly as the Qin army, and after the first arrow was fired, they would immediately set up new arrows on the bowstring and fire freely towards the Qin army's array.

Although the two sides shoot arrows in different ways, they do not affect the collision of the staggered arrows in the sky.

The Qin army's strong crossbow is more powerful than the arrows shot by the Cao army's bow and arrows, and the crossbow arrows flying in mid-air collide with the feather arrows, and the crossbow arrows will fly towards the Cao army with their remaining strength after impact, and the feather arrows fired by the Cao army will be smashed into half and fall to the ground.

The arrows collided in mid-air, making a continuous "crackling" sound, and in this column on both sides, there was also a continuous sound of arrows hitting the shield.

The Qin army's arrows were powerful, and the distance between the two sides was close enough, and when the two sides launched to shoot at each other, Cao Ren could be regarded as understanding Lu Bu's thoughts.

The strong crossbow is strong, but the feather arrows of the longbow are not strong enough, and the arrows of the feather arrows are shot on the shield of the Qin army, except for the sound of "crackling", it can hardly bring too much trouble to the Qin army, only occasionally one or two unlucky Qin soldiers are shot by the arrows and fall next to Tong Ze.

On the other hand, Cao Jun was not as lucky as Qin Jun.

The crossbow arrows of the Qin army, which were strong enough, flew towards the Cao army's array, in addition to those crossbow arrows that directly hit the Cao army, the arrows that hit the Cao army's shield also made the Cao army under great pressure.

Although the arrows were small, they could fly at close range, and at such a close distance, when they hit Cao Jun's shield, it happened to be the time when the strength was the most sufficient.

Holding a big shield to block the arrows, the Cao army heavy infantry at the front only felt that their arms were numb for a while, and some Cao troops who lacked strength could not even hold the shield, and the shield in their hands had some displacement.

The shield shifted, and the arrows behind it flew immediately after, knocking the shield-wielder Cao Jun to the ground.

The Cao army holding the shield was shot to the ground, and the longbowmen protected by them immediately became the living targets of the Qin army, and were shot into "hedgehogs" by the flying crossbow arrows.

Zhu Ma stood under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, watching the arrows of the two sides shoot each other, Cao Ren's brows tightened.

The Qin army had the advantage that the crossbow arrows were strong enough, and the two sides shot at each other, and the Cao army was completely in a situation of being passively beaten.

If the battle was allowed to continue like this, the left flank of Cao's army would surely suffer a lot of casualties.

The arrows were still flying in a staggered manner, and one by one they fell into the arrays of both sides, and one by one the soldiers fell under the arrows that rained down.

Compared with Cao Ren, Lu Bu, who had already expected this mutual shooting, was proud, holding the reins in his hand, sitting upright on horseback, his eyes did not stay on the array of mutual shooting between the two sides, but stared at Cao Ren of the Cao army on the opposite side.

When Lu Bu looked at Cao Ren, Cao Ren's brows were tightly furrowed.

Finally, he could no longer withstand this almost one-sided exchange of fires, raised his arm upward, and gave the second order: "Charge and kill on the right flank!" ”

The order to rush and kill was undoubtedly to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army.

As soon as Cao Ren's order was issued, the Cao army on the right flank, except for the longbowmen who were not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, all the heavy infantry let out a cry and rushed towards the Qin army that was firing arrows.

At the same time that the right wing Cao Jun rushed out, Cao Ren gave the order to charge and kill the left flank.

Before the right-wing Cao army could rush to arrive, the left-wing Cao army, which had taken the lead in exchanging fire with the Qin army, shouted, holding shields and short spears, and rushed towards the Qin army.

The distance between the two sides is very close, and although the firearm of the crossbow is very strong, it also has a great disadvantage, their arrows cannot fly in an arc like the arrows fired by the longbow, and even if they do, they are still very small arcs.

The powerful crossbow arrows that flew straight towards the charging Cao army, while the Cao army's longbowmen behind them invisibly got the strongest layer of protection.

The closer they approached the Qin army, the more they felt that the powerful impact almost made it impossible for them to move forward when the Cao army's heavy infantry was hit by arrows in their shields.

A soldier of the Cao Army, holding a shield, charged quickly against the oncoming arrows.

Arrows were fired at his shield, and the powerful impact made him feel the numbness of the tiger's mouth, but he still held on to the pain from the tiger's mouth and rushed forward.

Seeing that he was about to rush in front of the Qin army's array, an arrow was wrapped in a strong wind and hit the edge of his shield.

The edge of the shield was shot by an arrow, and Cao Jun snorted, the strength in his hand finally couldn't support the shield, and the big shield flashed to the side.

The hand holding the shield was just not held, and the soldiers of the Cao army immediately faced the doom of annihilation.

As soon as the big shield in his hand was turned to the side, the Cao soldier saw a feather arrow flying towards him.

Time seems to freeze, and the whole world seems to be playing in slow motion.

A puff of arrows flew towards Cao Jun and shot at Cao Jun's body, and the Cao soldier was instantly shot into a hedgehog full of thorns.

Several arrows hit the Cao army, and the powerful thrust sent the Cao army backwards, and when his body hit the ground, he was already a lifeless corpse.

When the Cao army first launched the charge, the longbowmen who started in front of each other would fire arrows to match their charge, but when the two armies were close to a certain distance, the longbowmen of the Cao army stopped firing.

At the same time that the longbowmen stopped firing, the Qin army's strong crossbows also retreated, while the Mo sword soldiers at the back of the queue stepped forward at this time.

The Cao army was getting closer, and the Qin soldiers could already see the enemy's face distorted by the imminent battle.

Qin Jun Pu Dao Hand, who was holding a round shield and a Pu knife, did not rush towards the enemy, but was still stupid and the array remained unchanged, but a gap was slightly opened in the array.

Cao Jun rushed to a place less than twenty steps away from the Qin army, and the Qin army Mo knife hand who had already stepped forward, at this time Qi Qi let out a shout, holding the Mo knife in both hands, and rushed towards Cao Jun.

The Mo knife was heavy, and in the previous battles of the Qin army, the Mo knife hand charged into battle, almost bringing a catastrophe to the enemy.

It's not that there are no heroes who have thought of learning from the Qin army to build a Mo knife, but the Mo knife consumes countless fine iron, and in the last years of the Three Kingdoms, although iron tools have been popularized, they are still very expensive, and there are really few heroes who are willing to put such a big price in the army.

Qin Jun, who was holding a Mo knife in both hands, rushed out from behind the array of Pu Dao's hand, and rushed towards Cao Jun with a roar.

In the face of the Qin army's big sword, Cao Jun did not have the slightest fear, and also let out a burst of roars, rushing towards the Qin army like an outlaw.

The sound of the drama's impact came from the battlefield, and Qin Jun's Mo swordsman and Cao Jun finally collided in one place.

A Qin soldier with a Mo knife in both hands rushed to the front, and when he was only two or three steps away from a Cao soldier, he raised the Mo knife and slashed at the top of the Cao army's head.

Facing the Mo knife, Cao Jun hurriedly raised his shield to block.

The heavy Mo knife slashed on the wooden shield, and the Cao soldiers only felt a light in their hands, and half of the shield was chopped out by the Mo knife.

Before he could react to what was happening, the sharp Mo knife had already slashed deep into his skull.

The Qin Jun Mo swordsmen who crashed into the Cao army were like steel knives cut into the tofu, but in an instant, they cut into the Cao army.

Qin Jun Mo's knife hand cut into the array, and Cao Jun did not lose his courage, but soon began to encircle, trying to encircle Qin Jun Mo's knife hand in the middle to exterminate.

Although the plan is very good, it is a pity that they forgot one thing, behind them, there is also a black pressure on the endless Qin Jun Pu Dao hand.

Cao Jun was just about to open the encirclement, but Qin Jun Pu Dao Shou had already let out a shout and slammed into their backs.
