Although Wei Wu scolded and spitted and danced, he had actually been paying attention to the movements of the Wei army. With the sound of the Wei family's war drums, he knew that if the method of agitating the generals was successful, the Wei army would definitely counterattack in a big way, and it was far from enough to rely on these soldiers led by him. However, since the Wei family does not pay attention to the rules and the whole army is pressed, it is not a shame for him to retreat.

"Withdraw!" With a wave of Wei Wu's sword, the soldiers quickly retreated.

The Wuwei battalion chased wildly, and the tiger and leopard rode first, and before Wei Wu and the others withdrew to their positions, they killed them from the flank, and the hurried horses' hooves rolled up a burst of earth dragons that soared into the sky, and the momentum was amazing.

Wei Ba looked at all this, his eyes were hot. In this short distance of more than 500 steps, the tiger and leopard rider can increase the speed to such a point, and the coordination is so exquisite, there is no panic at all, the formation is as smooth as water, and the momentum is as fierce as a tiger, and it is indeed an elite cavalry that is famous all over the world. His 2,000 cavalry would be dwarfed by them.

It is no wonder that Comrade Cao Apu was able to run rampant in the world, and Sun Quan did not dare to go deep into Jianghuai.

Although Wei Ba's eyes were hot, he was not soft-hearted, and when he saw the tiger and leopard cavalry adjusting the formation, he inserted himself into the rear of Wei Wu and the others, trying to intercept their retreat, and attacked the Wuwei battalion on both sides, but exposed the flanks in front of him, and he immediately seized the opportunity.

"Launch!"

At the sound of an order, the ballista and thunderbolt carts that had been prepared for a long time roared in unison.

"Boom!" Countless arrows flew out of the position, and the sky was dark.

"Phew!" The thunderbolt shook violently, and the long wooden tips were thrown into the sky, and dozens of fist-sized stone bullets were thrown into the sky. Roaring towards the Wei army in the distance.

Although the tiger and leopard cavalry is brave, but not reckless, they know that the bow and crossbow of the Shu Han army are powerful, and they also know that if they want to gallop through the front of the formation, they will inevitably be attacked by the bow and crossbow of the Shu Han army, so they control the distance of the charge to a hundred steps away from the Shu Han army's battle formation, here is the range limit of ordinary bows and crossbows, even if they can shoot, the power will be greatly reduced, plus there is a shield cover. Casualties can be minimized. He was able to intercept the retreating Wei family soldiers in time.

Their ideas were very good and they were well executed, but they were still shocked when they saw the arrows that were speeding out.

The range of the arrows shot by the Shu Han army far exceeded their estimates. Even if it's a hundred paces away. It's still powerful. What's even more terrifying. There were also a lot of spear-like arrows in it. These giant arrows galloped with a "buzzing" sound, easily piercing the body of the war horse, and the strong Liliang couldn't stabilize the body with the galloping war horse. Lateral falls. The huge body rolled on the ground, not only crushing the knight under him, crushing him into flesh, but also seriously hindering the knight behind him.

The smooth formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry was suddenly chaotic, which created more opportunities for the Shu Han army's arrow rain, and one after another sharp arrows galloped in, shooting more tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers to the ground.

Huge arrows roared one after another, each of which was like a sharp blade, tearing a piece of scale and stripping off a piece of flesh and blood on the dragon-like formation of the tiger and leopard.

The tiger and leopard riders are excellent at riding, can accelerate the charge in just 500 steps, and can maintain a good formation, but in the face of this sudden giant arrow, they cannot dodge the galloping horses, let alone adjust their direction in time in the galloping queue.

It's just that at that moment, the vanguard of the tiger and leopard cavalry was beaten by the dense arrow rain of the Shu Han army, and suffered heavy casualties. One after another, the horses were shot down by the giant arrows and fell to the ground, convulsing in pain. One by one, the knights were crushed by the heavy bodies of their horses, and they were shot by the galloping arrows, and they let out a terrible wail.

However, the Shu Han army did not have the slightest mercy, and they launched with all their might, pouring bursts of arrows on the heads of the tiger and leopard riders.

At the same time, the charging Wuwei battalion was also heavily damaged by the thunderbolts.

Although the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion were angry, they did not mess up, they still maintained a neat formation in the rapid advance, and there were only four hundred people left in the phalanx that originally fought against the Wei family's soldiers, but the fighting spirit was the strongest, and they rushed forward and rushed straight to the broken heavy armor. Behind them was a phalanx of 500 people led by Xu Ding himself, and on either side of them, a phalanx of 500 people each rushed up to protect their left and right flanks.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion no longer cared about the previous agreement, they only thought about killing these Wei family soldiers in front of the battle, avenging those robes who were beheaded for public display, and then breaking through Wei Ba's position, letting them know the fate of insulting the Wuwei Battalion.

Their eyes were red, and their fierce eyes stared at the retreating heavy armor, but they didn't know that doom was coming.

One after another, stone projectiles flew over a distance of three or four hundred paces, fell from the sky, and hit the position of the Wuwei battalion like hail.

"Smack!" One of the shields was hit, torn apart, sawdust flew, and the face of the warrior behind the shield was pierced. The warrior did not feel the pain at all, because he was so shocked by the sudden blow that half of his body was unconscious, his arm was also broken, and his flying body suddenly flew upside down and smashed on his companion behind him, knocking him down with him.

"Pounce!" An advancing warrior of the Wuwei Battalion was hit by a stone bullet in the front door, his head instantly left his body, and his helmet was hit by the stone bullet, making a piercing screech. The warrior's body continued to rush forward, but his helmet and smashed head flew through the air until they fell back to the ground.

Only then did his body lose its balance and fall to the ground with a bang, blood gushing out of his cavity.

Wei Ba made careful preparations before the battle, including the position of the two sides' formations, the possible reaction of the Wei army, and once a pursuit occurred, the distance and scale of the target to be hit by the thunderbolts and crossbow vehicles were far away, the size of the scale, and how much attack intensity should be used to achieve a relatively good effect. Every thunderbolt and even ballista had a preset target, made careful preparations, and with an order, all the thunderbolts and ballistae were launched with all their might, and it was necessary to give the Wei army the most powerful blow in the shortest possible time.

In order to increase the killing effect, Wei Ba also specially prepared small stone bullets as big as fists, which can fly farther, and can fire more than a dozen at a time, similar to the effect of cluster bombs. Although the blow was far less powerful than those of the large stone bullets, it was sufficient to deal with infantry soldiers with only shields and armor, and the area and density of the blow were significantly increased.

In the era of cold weapons, which had not yet appeared in artillery, the thunderbolt - that is, the Western stone thrower - was the king of the battlefield, like the cannon of the hot weapon era, and Wei Ba's current useful tactics are similar to rocket artillery, and the effect on the field infantry is more effective than the ordinary stone thrower.

Due to the full preparation, the thunderbolt and ballista of the Shu Han army showed terrifying lethality, and inflicted heavy losses on the Wei army in the first place.

The strict formation of the Wuwei battalion became scattered under the bombardment of flying stone bullets, like yesterday's yellow flowers. The soldiers who were at the edge of the blade were of course beaten to the ground with their heads broken and bleeding, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, and those who had not yet entered the range of the key attack were also stunned by what they saw, as if they had seen the gates of hell open, and ominous crows were flying out of it, flying and roaring, taking away one life after another.

Xu Ding looked at all this in front of him, his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously roared: "Stop advancing!" Stop moving forward! ”

The Wuwei battalion was well-trained, but when hundreds of people gathered together and were pursuing with anger, how could they say stop. Even if someone ordered a ban and stopped in time, he was pushed forward by the people behind him. Xu Ding himself was like this, he was coerced to continue to move forward for more than ten steps before he barely stopped.

This was already the edge of Wei Ba's predetermined attack, and sporadic stone bullets whizzed past from time to time, smashing on Xu Ding's side. Screams rang out from time to time. Although Xu Ding was lucky not to be hit, he witnessed a human tragedy up close.

There were not many of the more than 400 people in the phalanx who rushed ahead, and under the dense stone bullets, at least two-thirds of them fell in pools of blood, and the rest also squatted on the ground, blocking their heads with shields, and did not even have the courage to look up. They are like a newcomer who has just stepped onto the battlefield, and there is still a shadow of the martial guard battalion that is rampant in the world.

They were all broken by the stone bullets of the Shu Han army.

The blow came so fast, so fast that people didn't have time to react. The blow was so violent that it took hundreds of lives in the blink of an eye, so much so that the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion were also distracted by the thunderous blow. Even if they survived, it would be difficult for them to have the courage to face such a ferocious enemy, such a sharp weapon, and such a cruel blow.

Suddenly, Xu Ding felt that he was ten years old, and he no longer had the pride of the year, he didn't know whether to rejoice or regret, it was better to die in such a battle, or to survive?

Xu Ding stood there in a daze, but instinctively gave the order to retreat. The Wuwei battalion slowly retreated under his command, away from the attack range of the Shu Han army's thunderbolts. Although they were lucky to survive, when they saw the scene in front of them, they no longer had the fighting spirit.

In the same state of mind as theirs, the tiger and leopard riders were also severely damaged, after the stormy volley of the ballista, at least four or five hundred horsemen fell in a pool of blood, the wounded horses were screaming, the wounded warriors were groaning, and they restrained the horses in time, although the knights who adjusted their direction escaped the fate of being shot, but the tragic situation in front of them also made them tremble. A chill rose in everyone's hearts.

The crossbow carts of the Shu Han army were simply weapons of ghosts and gods, and they were not something that mortals could resist.

Chen Tai let go of Cao Yu's arm, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the position in front of him, his scalp tingled for a while. He didn't need to stop Cao Yu anymore, because Cao Yu was also stupid by the strong counterattack of the Shu Han army. They saw a rain of arrows like dark clouds in the distance, stone bullets like hailstones, and even more destroyed Wuwei battalions and tiger and leopard rides
