With such a lack of fighting spirit, Ma Teng has returned to the army, but the morale of Ma Teng's soldiers who were originally condensed by the Savior was dispersed, and Zhang Xiu and the three of them led the army to charge, sweeping their formation into scattered and chaotic chaos. And Cheng Pu and the others led Sun Jian's department to find Sun Jian, who was still chasing Ma Teng, and now they are counting arrows, but they are working together with Huaxiong's department.

Zhang Xiu's side and Sun Jian and Huaxiong's two coalition forces attacked the two wings of the Xiliang rebels head-on, but the Chinese army was commanded by Xu Rong, and the two armies of Heniufu and Fan Chou attacked head-on.

The elite of the Han army is incomparable, and compared to the Xiliang rebels, it can be described as a fierce general, the front Ma Teng's department was rushed to defeat and retreat, but fortunately, the Han Sui department in the back came up and stabilized the position, otherwise it would be another big defeat.

Han Sui immediately made a decision, and immediately asked people to notify the kingdom and ask him to line up a bow and crossbow arrow array behind, and then ordered his army to stabilize its position and slowly retreat, waiting for the kingdom's army to complete the bow and crossbow arrow array.

The kingdom had seen the bow and crossbow arrow array cast by Han Sui that day, which could indeed protect the retreat of the army very well, so he naturally learned this hand, and now it looks like it is a little calm.

When the kingdom's army set up a bow and crossbow arrow array, he immediately informed Han Sui in front, after Han Sui received the news of the kingdom, he immediately ordered people to collect the troops, and the Xiliang rebels slowly retreated under the command of Han Sui. Just when Dong Zhuo's army was chasing and killing Han Sui and Ma Teng's troops, he saw a neat formation appear in front, and the shield player was at the front.

Dong Zhuo saw it, but he didn't care, and ordered the army to continue to advance. How do you know that the shield hand suddenly "suddenly" got out of the way, revealing several siege ballistae inside, and behind it stood densely packed with archers with big bows.

Xu Rong, who commanded Dong Zhuo's army, saw it and said in shock: "Retreat, the shield hand is broken." ”

It's just that Xu Rong's order did come a little late, at this time the ballista had already moved, and a few crossbow arrows with the thickness of a baby's thigh were shot, and the shield of the broken shield hand could not stop these crossbows at all, and the crossbow arrows penetrated the shield in front of them and then shot into the shield hand's body from the front chest, and then came out from the back heart, and penetrated the soldiers behind the shield hand, and the entire crossbow arrow passed through seven or eight people before losing its strength and falling to the ground.

However, the nightmare of pursuing the Han army was not over, and I saw that the archers behind the crossbow carts of the kingdom had drawn their bows and arrows and threw them at Dong Zhuo's Chinese army. Fortunately, the soldiers of the kingdom were not elite, and the arrows shot were not neat, and the angle was not good, and many of the arrows shot by the soldiers at the back of the formation also fell on the heads of the soldiers in front, causing some small casualties.

Despite this, there are many soldiers in the kingdom, although it is not neat, but the deterrent power of ten thousand arrows is still very strong, for the kingdom will be thrown, Xu Rong has long expected it, and when he saw the kingdom holding the bow, Xu Rong shouted: "Shield hand, raise the shield, raise the shield." ”

It's just that although Xu Rong expected it, after all, he was the only one who commanded the voice, and Xu Rong was not like Zhang Sanye, a non-human general who could scare people to death with a roaring voice alone, so Xu Rong's command could only play a certain role.

However, due to the defense of the Han army, the archers of the kingdom are not strong, so that the loss of the soldiers of the Han army is not too serious, when the archers of the kingdom have finished shooting the first round of arrows, Dong Zhuo's Chinese army has withdrawn from the attack range of the archers of the kingdom, and only those few ballistas can still pose a threat to Dong Zhuo's army.

Xu Rong came to Dong Zhuo at this time and said, "Lord, the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and now that the spirit of our army has been discharged, let's withdraw the troops today." ”

Dong Zhuo also saw the situation in front of him, nodded and said, "And Mingjin will withdraw the troops and return to the camp to discuss matters." ”

A sound of gold sounded, after the Chinese army Xu Rong let the shield hand break, the rest of the armies slowly retreated into the camp, and Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Sun Jian and the three men and horses also saw that the Chinese army was frustrated, and they had already stopped the pursuit of the two wings of the Xiliang rebels.

Seeing the retreat of the Han army, the kingdom also wanted to come to a counter-pursuit, but was stopped by Han Sui, after Han Sui's persuasion, the Xiliang rebels also collected their troops and returned to the camp, and the first day of the war ended hastily.

……

In the big tent of the Han army, Dong Zhuo asked with a calm face: "Who can tell the general, why there is such a powerful heavy siege weapon as my Han standard heavy crossbow in the enemy army, fortunately, the enemy has a small number of heavy crossbows, otherwise our army would have suffered heavy losses today......"

After Dong Zhuo scolded again, he pulled out the general in charge of the scout and punished him heavily. After taking a deep breath, Dong Zhuo asked, "What is the strategy of the military advisor?" ”

Li Ru bowed and replied: "My lord, although there were occasional small setbacks in today's pursuit, it played a confusing role in the flanking of the enemy army around tomorrow, and it seems that Confucianism will be able to break the enemy army in one fell swoop tomorrow." ”

Dong Zhuo heard it and said curiously: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Ru said: "My lord, I want to." Today's kingdom department with a bow and crossbow arrow array to stop the footsteps of the lord's army pursuit, so it seems that tomorrow to fight again, in the back of the formation is also the kingdom department, as long as the lord's army in front of the break Ma Teng and Han Sui's department, General Li Wei led the flying bear army from the rear attack, the kingdom is unprepared, its bow and crossbow arrow array will inevitably be broken, so the lord's army attack, the front and rear under the enemy can not be defeated, so Confucianism believes that although there are occasional small setbacks today, but not enough to worry about. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and smiled: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, tomorrow we should defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop." It's just that the scouts can't hear the news that the enemy army has a heavy crossbow, and everyone should take this as a warning, when you know that an occasional small mistake will lead to the rout of the army, you still have to be vigilant, today you go down to rest, and tomorrow the battle should be fought forward. ”

"No......"

When Zhang Xiu withdrew from the camp tent, he saw a flash of sharpness in the eyes of the general who had just been heavily punished, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly left the tent and returned to the camp. At the same time, seeing the sharp eyes of this general, there were Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, who had been watching him.

After the general withdrew, Dong Zhuo said: "We must be vigilant tonight, and don't leak the news to affect tomorrow's battle." ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard it: "Don't worry, don't worry, just leave this matter to Zhang Boyuan." ”

Dong Zhuo heard it and said curiously: "Bo Yuan has also seen it, this son has such experience and vision at a young age, and his future should be limitless." ”
