It is said that the northern coalition army, the troops were divided into six routes to the south, at first it can be described as overwhelming, and it reached the vicinity of Xuzhou in less than ten days, and Cao Cao's troops, who acted the fastest, directly hit outside the city of Lujiang.

He didn't go to Xuzhou with the others, because now Li Yunfei's real base camp is in Lujiang, it is said that there are other secret research institutes here, and many incredible weapons come from here, so he is ready to take this Lujiang in one fell swoop, if he can get that research institute, all the losses are worth it.

It's just that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, and it is precisely because of his actions that the plan that Xu Shu had prepared a long time ago was launched a few days earlier, not that he was afraid that Cao Jun could really take Lujiang City. is afraid that after Cao Cao was frustrated in the Lujiang River, he directly crossed the river to the south and joined forces with Liu Zhang's coalition army in Jingzhou, and the credit would become Zhuge Liang's. Although he said that he was friends with Zhuge Liang, since it was his own business, of course he had to deal with it himself, otherwise he would not be laughed at by him when he saw Zhuge Liang in the future.

However, to Xu Shu's surprise, the first to attack the Cao army was not arranged in advance, Lao Qi led the wild wolf legion, but the eldest lady's Phoenix legion, according to Xu Shu's arrangement, the Phoenix Legion was the last to attack, mainly because he was afraid that the pearl in the palm of the lord's hand would be missed.

But Miss Lu hated Cao Cao to the core, and had the hatred of killing her mother, her mother Yan died in the hands of Cao Jun, and now she finally has the opportunity to catch the main owner to take revenge, of course, she is inevitably a little impulsive.

He didn't even choose a sneak attack, and this plain area was not easy to sneak attack, so he directly led tens of thousands of crossbow cavalry to set up a formation in the field to attack Cao Cao's more than 100,000 troops.

Of course, the reason why she did this was not all impulsive, but she was still certain with certainty, because the equipment was so good that she could completely ignore the numerical gap between the enemy and the enemy.

Hearing the report of the spies, a few miles ahead, there was an army of tens of thousands of little ladies blocking the way, Cao Jun was suddenly excited, and said that he wanted to catch those little ladies back and dedicate them to the lord.

After the spies carefully observed the surroundings and determined that only the more than 10,000 women's troops were there, and no ambushes were found elsewhere, the Cao army finally moved.

More than 30,000 cavalry were directly dispatched, and in their cognition, 30,000 cavalry against 10,000 enemies, and the other party was still a group of women's army, which must be a sure win.

But what they don't know is that these 10,000 women's army are the real elite, and they can be said to be armed to the teeth. When the distance was close enough, Cao Jun also began to charge, and the Phoenix Legion also attacked, but instead of charging, they used field bed crossbows, and two waves of attacks were followed by several waves of strong crossbows.

This was just an appetizer, which reduced the cavalry of the Cao army by nearly one percent, but when the cavalry entered the range of more than 300 meters of crossbows, the tragedy began.

Wave after wave of crossbow arrows were like a torrential rain, and the impact speed of the cavalry was only 40 kilometers at most, and it took at least 30 seconds to cover a distance of more than 300 meters, while the rate of fire of the newly improved steel repeater was less than a second.

Each ballistamen would carry six boxes on their horses, and each box would contain 20 arrows. Under this kind of large-scale combat, there is no need for too much aiming at all, as long as you aim at the angle direction, and then keep pulling the joystick to shoot, the density of arrows that hit is simply terrifying, comparable to modern machine guns.

Hundreds of thousands of arrows, under the continuous blows, 30,000 cavalry only approached 200 meters, half of them were already killed, but what really broke the confidence of this group of cavalry was not the endless arrows, but the bursting arrows that followed. A row of hundreds of bursting arrows suddenly exploded in the charging formation, and after shaking the mountain for a while, Cao Jun was completely blinded and completely crushed his confidence.

Although only a thousand people were killed by a wave of burst arrows, when the second wave of burst arrows attacked again, they completely collapsed, and the tens of thousands of cavalry who had finally approached were scattered in an instant.

Lu Lingqi also drew out the steel sword and rushed out first, and the girls of the Phoenix Legion also drew out the steel sword one after another to charge, although the defeated cavalry wanted to turn their horses' heads to resist, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and a wave of corpses were dropped, so they could only choose to continue to flee.

……

The explosion of hundreds of exploding arrows just now, the seventh man in Lujiang City, a few miles away, also heard the movement, and immediately knew that the eldest lady's Phoenix Legion had taken the lead in attacking, so he was also hungry and hurriedly rushed out with the cavalry, and the foot soldiers also rushed out after him.

No one thought that the eldest lady, who has always been very well-behaved and obedient, would suddenly go berserk, and took the lead in attacking, so that the 100,000 army led by Lao Qi changed from the main attack to the assist, although it was a little depressing, but it was nothing to be robbed of the credit by the eldest lady, he was worried that there would be any accidents in our sister, and it would be a big trouble. Therefore, the speed of rushing out is also extraordinary, and the rush to kill is even more ferocious.

The Cao army camp saw the cavalry rout and hurriedly erected a shield array, trying to block the onslaught of the cavalry that followed, but not long after the shield array was erected, the terrible explosion began, feeling that the earth was shaking, the formation collapsed instantly, and the order could not be conveyed. The soldiers threw down their heavy shields and fled in all directions......

It's really because the weapons of the two sides are too different, there is no way to fight back at all, they can only be beaten passively, no one can stand it, all they can do is escape, how far and how far they run.

By the time Lao Qi's cavalry arrived, Lu Lingqi had already defeated the Cao army's camp, and he sent those foot soldiers to help capture the prisoners, as well as recover the arrows, and clean up the mess, while he himself continued to pursue with the cavalry and continued to carry out the plan arranged by Xu Shu in advance.

The defeated Cao army became a frightened bird, and there were constantly chasing soldiers around him, some of them were really outnumbered, and some were just bluffing, but Cao Jun was already frightened, and the only choice when he saw the pursuers was to run, constantly fleeing.

Under the beneficial drive of the pursuers, let their escape route go into the ultimate pocket, even if Guo Jia is extraordinarily intelligent, under the general trend of this kind of defeat, there is no way to turn the tide, knowing that there must be a problem ahead, but he can't stay, because staying is a mortal ending, and there is still a chance to escape, so he can only run.

The team that left behind the broken has never returned, either being captured as a prisoner, or being shot into a hedgehog by random arrows, even if it is the brave and abnormal Xu Chu, as soon as he rushed out, he was shot off the horse in a row, but the bravery is useless...... There is no effective means of counterattacking, because the range of the opponent's bow and crossbow is more than double that of the other side.

Several other teams were also ambushed and pursued, but the losses were not as severe as Cao's, but all the allied forces gathered together again in the encirclement and interception.

It stands to reason that it should be better to annihilate separately, but Li Yunfei's army prefers to merge and annihilate together, on the one hand, the weapons are more suitable for large-scale team battles, and the other is to let this group of detached coalition forces have their own internal strife, and then they will clean up the mess......

……

When the six coalition armies went south, there were more than 600,000 people, but now there are less than 300,000 people left, huddled in the almost abandoned Shouchun City, and the surrounding area is completely surrounded by the army.

The new army in Xuzhou is more and more fighting, at first 25 tens of thousands, and then expanded the army by more than 500,000 in one go, and then continued to expand the army, in just one month, the total strength has soared to one million.

The grain and grass in Shouchun City could barely support the coalition army for more than ten days, and Xu Shu did not rush to attack, but began to arrange defensive lines around to prevent the turtle in the urn from escaping.

Just trap them, there is no need to storm and cause unnecessary casualties, the coalition forces also want to break through, but the cavalry charge that has organized several times has been shot back by crossbow arrows, if it is to break through with a shield array, it will be knocked open by the bursting arrows and then greeted by a rain of arrows.

The casualties statistics on both sides, calculated step by step, the proportion reached more than 100 times, the battle has been carried out so far, the coalition army has lost more than 300,000 people, and the Xuzhou army has lost less than 3,000 people, this battle is not a fair contest at all, and it is only a matter of time before the coalition army is annihilated......

……

In addition, I have to say that Zhuge Liang is indeed a talent, especially that eloquence is well-deserved in the world, because of the gap between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu's army, he even persuaded Zhang Jin, the pastor of Jiaozhou, to surrender by the way.

It is said that Zhang Jin originally heard that the Northern Alliance was attacking south, and Xuzhou was in chaos, and he also wanted to take advantage of it, and the initial target was Wuling and Changsha, and if it went well, he would continue to go north.

It's just that his tens of thousands of troops arrived in Wuling, and they were ambushed by a few squads sent out by Zhuge Liang, or ambushed several times one after another, and then bluffed a few times, and then persuaded again, and when Zhang Jin determined that the battle of Xuzhou had basically ended, the hundreds of thousands of alliance troops had been surrounded by millions of troops in a ruined city, waiting for death, he was really scared, after Zhuge Liang persuaded him, he took refuge directly, and by the way, he offered the entire Jiaozhou......

After Zhuge Liang had no worries, he brought his military talents to the extreme, and it was also a variety of endless equipment, which was also used just right, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's coalition army was abused and retreated, spit out all the cities, and was pushed by the Xuzhou army to the vicinity of Wuzhangyuan and approached Hanzhong. It was only at this time that the pace of the attack was suspended, and it was better to ask the lord to make a decision, the current Zhuge Liang was not too arrogant, and he did not think that he was smarter than Li Yunfei.
