Chapter 543: Playing with a crossbow is still Lao Tzuqiang!

"Boom ......"

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. Thousands of troops galloped, rolling up the dust and mud on the road, and directly confusing half of the sky

Sergeant Cao, who was following Man Chong, saw the majesty of the thousands of troops in front of him, and his face couldn't help but change to extremely ugly. However, as the elite of Cao Cao's descendants, they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they broke through the sea of corpses and blood. Although this kind of power was terrifying, but soon, all the Cao soldiers' expressions became resolute, and the hands holding the weapons tightened, waiting for the full favor to meet at any time under the order.

Cao Jun's performance was also seen in Man Chong's eyes, but he nodded secretly, but soon, Man Chong's gaze turned back to Zhang Xiu's cavalry who was galloping in front of him, and an inexplicable smile flashed on his face.

As if confirming what Man Pet thought, the cavalry in front of him suddenly stopped. The war horses kept neighing, and the entire front army became a mess!

In Zhang Xiu's former army, Ma Chao was constantly pulling the reins, but the jade lion under his crotch was the command of Ma Chao. Ma Chao looked at the beans that had been cooked all over the ground and exuded bursts of aroma, and scolded angrily: "Damn Cao thief, you actually made such a despicable method!" ”

Looking around, I saw that Zhang Xiu's former army had stopped, and the war horses rushed to eat the ripe beans scattered all over the road, unwilling to move forward. As a result, the entire front army formation was already in chaos. As Guo Jia expected, Zhang Xiu's combat power is powerful, but the war horses under their crotches are animals after all. After running such a long way, the war horse has long been very hungry, and now the fragrant beans are sprinkled all over the ground, where can they run any more. Full Pet was waiting for this moment, waved his hand, and shouted: "Kill!!

With an order, the banner of the front army waved, and the earth-shattering drums broke out. The next moment, two Cao armies rushed out of the hills on both sides, and the first route on the left was led by Lu Qian, supplemented by Jia Kui; The first road on the right is led by Cao Xiu, supplemented by Cao Zhen. The two-way army came out from the left and right, and went straight to the front army of Zhang Xiu's army, which had already been in chaos! The two ambushes were killed, just as the scout captain reported to Zhang Xiu, and the two hills were very close to the main road. Although he was killed at this time, he failed to enter the front of Zhang Xiujun's formation for a while.

Ma Chao was shocked when he saw the ambush soldiers coming out from two directions, but the jade lion did not listen to his orders, but he was helpless. At this time, Pang Rou had already abandoned the war horse, ran to Ma Chao, and said hurriedly: "Meng Qi, the enemy army is coming, quickly command the battle!" ”

Ma Chao knew that it was in danger and hurriedly dismounted. Just as Ma Chao was about to command the battle, the front of the Cao army, which was led by the full favor in the front, took the lead in attacking!

This calculation is what Guo Jia thinks, how could Guo Jia not take into account the defects in the terrain, and the favored former army can make up for this defect. After Lu Qian and Cao Xiu ambushed the troops on both sides, Man Chong immediately let the front army change formation. Cao Jun in the first three rows immediately separated to both sides, revealing rows of hideous crossbow arrows behind!

To deal with the cavalry, Cao Cao also thought of using crossbow arrows. It's just that Zhang Shao used the crossbow to make Guo Jia learn a lesson. Although the crossbow bolt is powerful, it takes a long time to fire again after a round, so Guo Jia came up with the plan to sprinkle beans, so that the war horses of Zhang Xiu's army are busy fighting for beans, thus causing chaos in the army!

At this time, Man Zhong had already retreated into the crossbow array, holding a spear and shouting: "The front row, the big yellow crossbow, release!" ”

After the group of Cao Bing'er, who had been ready for a long time, was full of orders, he pulled the trigger on the big yellow crossbow at the same time, and hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out at once! "Whoosh ......"

The strong crossbow pierced through the air and exploded with a whistling sound, and at a very fast speed, it plunged into the front army of Zhang Xiujun's already chaotic army! "Puff puff 111111"

The crossbow arrows burst into the flesh and blood flowers, the wails of the soldiers and the neighing of the war horses sounded at the same time, and the front row of war horses and soldiers were shot into hedgehogs at once!

The soldier in front and the war horse were shot to death, but the war horse in the back did not know that death was near, and kept eating the beans on the ground that exuded an attractive aroma.

Ma Chao saw Cao Jun release the crossbow arrows, and knew that he couldn't resist it at this time, so he shouted: "Everyone dismounts!" Hide behind the horses, !!

Ma Chao's reaction was still timely, and after the sergeant Zhang Xiu in front heard the order, he immediately dismounted. At this time, the second round of crossbow arrows of the Cao army had already been fired, except for a few soldiers who were too late to dismount and who were not well hidden, who were shot into hedgehogs. Under the attack of this round of crossbow arrows, most of the losses were war horses!

Seeing that the second round of crossbow arrays composed of arm-drawn crossbows had already shot out the crossbow arrows, he shouted coldly: "Zhang Zhang's crossbow forward, prepare...... Put!

The power of the crossbow is stronger than that of the big yellow crossbow and the arm crossbow, and one round of crossbow arrows is shot out, and the lethality is much stronger than that of only two rounds. The war horses in the front row who were still grabbing beans were immediately shot into hedgehogs, and because the crossbow arrows were too powerful, the entire body of some war horses was shot through by the crossbow arrows, and then penetrated into the Zhang Xiu sergeant hiding behind the war horses.

Man Chong looked at the scene in front of him with great satisfaction, three rounds of crossbow arrows in a row, and Zhang Xiu's former army became even more chaotic. Glancing to the left and right, he found that the army led by Lu Qian and Cao Xiu was still some distance away before entering Zhang Xiu's army. So he continued to shout: "The big yellow crossbow is ready...... Shoot the arrows! The crossbow is ready to ......" This alternative three-stage shot allows Cao Jun's crossbow arrows to be fired without stopping, making the non-lethal force stronger!

The situation encountered by the former army was already reported to Zhang Xiu when Man Zhong commanded Cao Jun to fire the first round of crossbow arrows. Hearing that Cao Jun actually ambushed himself in this way, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but burst into a foul word: "Damn! How dare you play a crossbow in front of Lao Tzu? It's just looking for death!!

After scolding, Zhang Xiu quickly ordered: "Immediately untie the bed crossbow and the repeater car!" Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang, the two of you each lead fifty crossbows and thirty bed crossbows, and give the general to block the Cao army that ambushed the two ways, and don't shoot them all into hedgehogs, don't see the general! Hua Xiong, Wang Shuang, the two of you and the general will lead the remaining eighty crossbows and fifty bed crossbows together, "Go and show Cao Jun what a real crossbow is!!"

Zhang Xiu's order was issued, and the soldiers of the Chinese army immediately untied the crossbow carts and bed crossbows on war horses, and then hurriedly pushed out all kinds of crossbows under the leadership of several generals. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu's subordinates were numerous, and 30,000 people came together, and hundreds of crossbows were easily fiddled with and then launched together.

Zhang Xiu led these soldiers pushing bed crossbows and crossbow carts forward, and scolded in his mouth: "Dare to come to Luban to get a big axe and die in battle!" ”

When Zhang Xiu led a large group of soldiers to push the bed crossbow and the crossbow cart to the front army's formation, Manzhong's side had already fired six rounds of crossbow arrows, and the front army could be described as suffering heavy losses. The casualties of human life are secondary, but the war horses are really heavy casualties. As an important strategic resource in this era, war horses are extremely cherished by every prince. Although Zhang Xiu already owned Liangzhou and Bingzhou, he still gasped in his heart when he saw a large number of fallen war horses in front of him.

You must know that war horses are different from ordinary horses, first of all, war horses must be the top group of horses, whether it is speed or endurance. Secondly, the war horse is also the same as the soldier's year, and the ability of the new war horse and the battle-hardened war horse is completely different. Often the recruits get on an old horse, and it is not surprising that the old horse's ability can save the recruit's life. And if a veteran gets on a new horse, he may often lose his life even with his horse.

Zhang Xiu now saw the corpses of horses all over the ground, and his heart was dripping blood, although he had not calculated how much the war horse had lost, but at a glance, at least thousands of horses had been lost.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was extremely angry in his heart, and when he saw that Cao Jun was still on the crossbow arrows, Zhang Xiu said hatefully: "The bed crossbow team stepped forward and shot at the general!" ”

Those Zhang Xiu's sergeants who were pushing the bed crossbow saw the corpses of horses all over the ground, and their hearts were also dripping blood. Most of these soldiers were cavalry, and because these crossbows were simple to operate, Zhang Xiu did not have a special crossbowman, and basically only needed to teach them how to operate them before the war.

These are the cavalrymen who dismounted, and when they saw that the war horses that had always relied on their partners had suffered heavy casualties, where would they not be angry. Listening to Zhang Xiu's order, he operated the bed crossbow with his hands and feet very quickly, aiming at the Cao army's large array.

Zhang Xiu saw that the bed crossbow team was ready, and his raised right arm fell heavily, and at the same time let out a roar from his mouth: "Release the arrow!" "P-swoop ......"

Fifty three-5 bed crossbows flew out under Zhang Xiu's sudden shout! One hundred and fifty bowls with thick mouths, like iron spears, cut through the space, and the sharp whistling sound suddenly resounded through a small world. The powerful crossbow arrows that flew out first shook the eardrums of the nearby Sergeant Zhang Xiunian, and the power of the three strong 5 anti-shocks in the bed crossbow made this tremor endure for a long time!

One hundred and fifty crossbow arrows seemed like a small number, but the death storm that was shot into Cao Jun's array was definitely quite a lot! Those soldiers Cao who had just fired crossbow arrows and were so comfortable that they hadn't come back to the poison yet, what had happened, and the one hundred and fifty crossbow arrows like iron spears had already been shot! "Puff puff 111111"

A scene similar to Fang Cai's Cao Jun's crossbow arrows shooting Zhang Xiu's army happened! Blood flowers appeared, and a crossbow shot fiercely into the chest of a Cao sergeant, and the next moment the crossbow arrow had already penetrated through his back. The powerful impact of the crossbow arrow immediately brought this Cao soldier up, and then flew to the Cao soldier behind!

A crossbow arrow at least penetrated the bodies of seven or eight Cao soldiers before it fell weakly, "Nail Cao Sergeant Nian who hung on the crossbow arrow to the ground. Just now, Sergeant Cao was brought up, and with the corpses, many rhubarb crossbows, arm crossbows and Zhang crossbows in the vicinity knocked to the ground. Crossbows are extremely delicate things, and when they are hit with such a huge force, they don't know if there is any damage inside. However, Zhang Xiu didn't care about this, and under a sneer, he shouted: "Where is the crossbow convoy?" ”

Zhang Xiuyi asked, next to Hua Xiong had already commanded the crossbow team to step forward, and Wang Shuang commanded the bed crossbow team to retreat and quickly load the crossbow arrows.

Zhang Xiu led forward with the tiger-headed golden spear in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Two hundred and fifty steps in front of the target, the Cao army, the crossbow convoy, launch!" "P-swoop ......"

Zhang Xiu gave an order, and eighty crossbow carts were launched together, and nearly 105,000 crossbow arrows of different sizes were suddenly launched! Even all the crossbow arrows on the crossbow cart flew out, covering half of the sky at once, which can be described as a real obscuration of the sky and the sun! There was still a shadow on the ground, and the sun was eclipsed! "Puff puff 111111

Under the attack of this crossbow arrow, the blood flowers on the beach were more abundant than before! Although the power of the crossbow cart is not as good as that of the bed crossbow, the crossbow arrows on the crossbow cart are in good service, and after a round of blows from the bed crossbow, the Cao army's large array has long been in chaos. At this time, the ballista strikes again, and the lethality is naturally greater!

Full of pets holding spears, he couldn't help but push away the crossbow arrows that flew from mid-air or in front, Cao Hong over there couldn't resist with a war knife in his hand, the martial arts of the two were not too bad, and they didn't have to worry about their lives in the face of the covering shooting of the ballista. Of course, if you are shot by a powerful bed crossbow, I am afraid that no one in the world can resist except for the top generals.

However, although Man Zhong did not worry about his life, he was shocked when he saw the heavy casualties of his soldiers, especially the first round of crossbow arrows, which was the real horror. Man Pet found that compared with Zhang Xiujun's crossbow arrows, his own crossbow arrows were like children playing house games, which was ridiculous.

At the same moment, Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang also began to launch bed crossbows and crossbow carts, and dealt a head-on blow to the Cao army that was killing on both roads!

A scene similar to Fang Cai happened at the same time on the left and right Cao soldiers, and the powerful bed crossbow and repeater cart directly blinded the two Cao soldiers. Whether it was Lu Qian, Jia Kui, Cao Xiu, or Cao Zhen, who had ever seen such a powerful crossbow arrow, the Cao army in the front was shot into a hedgehog at once. When the four of them saw this scene, they were shocked and hesitated to move forward.

Among the Chinese army, Cao Cao was originally sitting on the carriage very leisurely, and the canopy blocked the scorching sun, and he was very comfortable to enjoy the blow of the Cao army in the front of the favored finger to Zhang Xiu's army. However, when he saw Zhang Xiujun's counterattack against himself, the overwhelming crossbow arrows that attacked his army, Cao Cao's whole person stood up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, such crossbow arrows, how could Cao Yi 1 ever see it!

At this time, Sima Yi on the side immediately came to Cao Cao and said: "Prime Minister, the enemy's crossbow arrows are strong, and our army has suffered heavy losses, so it is invincible!"

Cao Cao heard Sima Yi's words, calmed down, and then shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and wave the flag, and order Lu Qian and Cao Xiu to continue the attack, don't stop!" ”

Sima Yi was surprised when he heard that Cao Cao did not listen to his own advice. But seeing Cao Cao's eyes staring at Zhang Xiujun's formation, his fists clenched at the same time. He's betting! Betting on Zhang Xiujun's crossbow is the same as an ordinary crossbow, and it is extremely difficult to load the arrows. If the bet is right, Cao Cao still has a chance to win, if the bet is hunting...... Cao Cao didn't think too much about it.
