readx;??“ Rush ah!!"

Fierce battles between the Liaodong Army and the Wei Army in this area were carried out one after another. Biquge&Info.d.mThe Wei army's arrangement relative to the Liaodong Army also arranged three formations.

Before the two sides made their first contact, the crossbowmen at the rear of the infantry battle array, relying on the performance of their equipment, had already fired three or four waves of arrows before most of the Wei army had even entered the effective range.

The bows and arrows that were thrown at each other caused many casualties to most of the poorly equipped peasant army of the Wei army.

In many cases, even the crossbows fired by the farthest crossbow chariot troops were able to inflict considerable casualties on the Wei troops, most of whom were only dressed in ordinary linen clothes.

In the formation of the Wei army, from time to time, someone was shot by the bow and arrow crossbow that was thrown down, and after falling to the ground, he soon became a corpse.

The distance between the two sides was about two hundred meters, and the crossbowmen in the Wei formation also began to counterattack.

It's a pity that the bows and crossbows used by the Wei army's crossbowmen can't be compared with the bows and crossbows equipped by the Liaodong Army in terms of quality in a large aspect, and because the Liaodong Army troops are basically all armor, the arrows used in this relatively inferior bow and crossbow, even if they can shoot to such a long distance, many arrows are even bounced off by the iron armor equipped with the light infantry in the front row, not to mention the iron shields of the heavy infantry near these light infantry, and the defense ability is much better than these iron armor.

For example, these inferior arrows used by the Wei army are difficult to shoot through the iron armor at this distance, let alone the iron shields that are lined up one after another.

Listening to the clanging sound from above the iron shield or from the front, many of the heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army knew that they could be said to be quite safe.

Of course, there were a few unlucky people who were shot by arrows that happened to pass through the gaps in the shield, some of them were not injured, but some of them were seriously injured because they had no defense in the neck. In such a situation, the shield men in the rear quickly filled the vacant positions as the light infantry dragged the dead and wounded to the rear.

The rain of arrows on both sides continued to shoot at each other in the sky. Under such a circumstance, the slowly advancing Wei army's battle formation, every step forward, had to pay a considerable price. Faced with such a situation, although most of the Wei generals who commanded the front line had never commanded troops to fight, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that it was definitely not a good thing to go on like this.

"Rush over!!" The generals of the Wei army gave this order one after another.

Hearing the general's order, the general's personal guards shouted in unison, "Rush over!!"

Dozens or even hundreds of people shouted in unison, instantly and effectively suppressing the screams including the screams of the wounded of the Wei army. After hearing this, many middle and low-ranking officers of the Wei army also shouted loudly one after another: "Kill, !!"

Under the command of these mid- and lower-ranking officers, the Wei army, although it paid a considerable price, quickly launched a charge under such orders.

As the distance got closer and closer, many officers and soldiers of the Wei army felt that the arrows fired at them seemed to be becoming more and more accurate.

More Wei officers and soldiers fell on the road of the charge, but what they saw was in front of them, and after the Liaodong officers and soldiers were summarized more and more clearly, they gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.

Gradually, the Wei officers and soldiers in front of the battle formation discovered one thing, that is, the situation that should have rained arrows no longer seemed to appear.

They don't know why, but it seems like a good thing to them.

They may never be able to know such a thing anymore, that is, the strong crossbowmen of Liaodong County who basically installed Wangshan on the crossbow have a training criterion when they train. That is, if there are friendly troops in front of them, once the enemy has rushed past a distance of 150 meters, these strong crossbowmen are not allowed to shoot at the enemy in the front row. Doing so will likely injure allies from behind.

After knowing such a situation, many crossbowmen reminded their fellow archers around them: "Don't shoot at the enemy in front of you, don't say that if something happens, brother didn't warn you." ”

The archers who got the hint nodded their heads, and then the next time they shot, they adjusted the angle of the bow to a higher angle again and threw it.

In such a situation, although there were more and more people in the Wei army's battle array, they found that they would no longer seem to be hit by the rain of arrows that made their hearts palpitate, but the follow-up troops in the distance behind them did not have such a good "treatment" for the time being.

It is equivalent to the enemy forces in the rear of the Wei army's battle formation, which was once again concentrated on the attack, and the casualties were even greater than at the beginning. Under a rain of arrows, more people were shot, and the various screams that appeared made many of the nearby Wei soldiers swallow a mouthful of saliva.

These people don't want to die in such a place, but in such an environment, even if they can get out of the battle, what can they do? Even if they escape, they will not be able to return to their homes, because many people know that their hometown may be in ruins now.

They knew very well that although they were rebelling against the tyrannical Qin, in fact, the actions of many officers and soldiers were fundamentally different from those of the Qin army. Because when there is no war and turmoil, and the troubled times have not come, they will still take care of things like military discipline. But as far as the peasants who were taken over were concerned, they had seen and even done a lot of things themselves.

It's like a middle-aged Wei army chief who was nailed to the ground by a crossbow, and his eyes gradually lost their lustre, and a young man beside him, holding a somewhat worn long sword in his hand, and a broken wooden shield with two or three arrows inserted into it, knew what the other party had done in a village occupied by the current Wei State.

He didn't know if this would really be like what the other party said, and those of them who had no future would do this. But he knew very well that from the moment he heard the screams and saw the other party's neck being pierced directly by a crossbow, he could see that this chief seemed to want to live even more......

The boy did not stop by his own side for long, but desperately followed the others and continued to charge.

He didn't know why he was doing this, but he knew that he might be able to survive by doing so, but if he tried to escape, he would probably die at the hands of the Warlords behind.

But continuing to rush forward is obviously not a good choice either, after all, for him, the enemy on the opposite side looks very vicious, maybe playing dead is a good choice?

Soon, this teenager gave up such an idea, pretending to be dead in such a situation, not to mention whether he would be discovered by others, just the ** rain of arrows in the sky that kept falling, it was very likely to shoot him, once this kind of thing happened, it is estimated that he would really die.

Having to give up on such a tempting idea, the boy continued to charge with the others.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

"Ready! Let !! go"

It was not the commander of the crossbowmen unit of the Liaodong Army who shouted such a sentence, but the commander of the lightly armed spearmen in the front row of Nguyen Weng Shao's formation, who ordered the infantry troops under his command to throw the order to throw the guns in his hands.

It is unlikely that the range of the throwing spears thrown by the wrist force alone will reach more than 100 meters, and those Wei troops who are the targets of the throwing spears will advance to a distance of only about fifty meters from them. At this distance, the physical fitness is not as strong as the light infantry, and the throwing distance is quite appropriate.

After a short arc flight in the sky, nearly a thousand short-throwing guns fell into the Wei army's still charging formation. More than three or four hundred Wei troops were easily nailed to the ground by throwing guns. Even some Wei officers in iron armor even had their positions protected by armor directly penetrated.

All of a sudden, the battle formation of the Wei army, which originally looked quite neat, once again appeared a gap.

A five-hundred-hundred-year-old master of the Wei army looked painfully at his arm holding a wooden shield, and the throwing spear directly pinned his wrist and left chest together. He wanted someone else to save him or help him, but with the arrival of another batch of throwing guns, he was desperate to see that several of his guards were directly pierced through his body by these very short spears.

In a certain sense, these throwing guns equipped by Zhang Jiashi are naturally far inferior to bed crossbows in terms of power, but in the absence of bed crossbows and other better long-range strike means, these throwing guns can exert quite good combat efficiency in a range of more than 50 meters.

After all, not many people would put something like a bed crossbow too far in front of them in the field. This is obviously something that is not comfortable to find.

In fact, the less likely it is that the bed crossbow will be more effective in an encounter, after all, it is quite difficult for this thing to move where it is needed. Therefore, generally speaking, things like bed crossbows are more defensive instruments and rarely appear in active offensive situations.

Therefore, in a sense, such a short-throw gun can indeed make up for the shortcomings of the troops' range at short range, after all, the troops deployed in the front rarely use crossbowmen directly, unless it is a siege war or an ambush battle, after all, these crossbowmen, even if they are arranged regardless of the cost factor of the Liaodong Army, are still a big defect in terms of melee combat ability.

Once the enemy's main force launches a fierce attack, although the archers placed on the front line can hardly be regarded as defenseless, this end will not be good.

In the eyes of Han Xin and He Huai, the commanders of the Liaodong Army on the left and right flanks who saw this scene, these short-throwing guns are indeed a good thing, at least Han Xin and He Huai know very well how useful this weapon is that can allow infantry troops to still have a certain ability to counterattack at such a distance.

They decided, after the end of such a battle, just like Zhang Jiashi's request to popularize these things.

......

After throwing nearly three rounds of throwing guns, the Wei troops that attacked Ruan Weng Shao's headquarters had already rushed to the first front of Liaodong County less than ten meters away.

The heavy infantry, who had already changed into the medium-handled glaive, spread out the shield array, and then directly pressed his body directly in front of the shield, and then rushed towards the enemy.

The next to arrive were light infantry with glaive swords in both hands. After the heavy infantry in front of them collided with the Wei officers and soldiers, they held the hilt of the Glaive with both hands from time to time and stabbed the Wei army in front.

And the heavy infantry in front also paid a small price for such a way of fighting. The shields of some heavy infantry are not completely iron shields, but light shields with two wooden planks sandwiched by an iron plate, and it is difficult for such a shield to completely block the spears or Changge stabbed by the Wei army.

Some heavy foot soldiers who have their shields pierced tend to feel a sharp pain in their chest and abdomen.

Although the defense of these iron armors is indeed not very good, in normal times, it is difficult for these spears or Changge's blades of the enemy to still be able to destroy the armor of the armor after piercing the shield, bringing great damage to these Qin officers and soldiers.

Some of the heavy infantry fainted directly because of the serious injuries they received at once, while some of the heavy infantry were directly pierced through the neck by the enemy after piercing the shield. In such a situation, the heavy infantry units that collided with the Wei army in front inevitably had some sparse gaps.

But the troops in front of the Wei army were not happy for long, after all, they were not able to deal with too many heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army.

Before more Wei troops could react, a cold light appeared in front of him.

From time to time, the heads of Wei officers and soldiers flew into the air for a distance and fell to the ground, while some of the heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army had their glaive swords paused for a moment in a posture of slashing diagonally.

Then, many heavy infantry kicked away the corpses of the Wei army, which had not yet fallen, and continued to slash forward.

In fact, in terms of lethality alone, the heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army was often inferior to the light infantry in its vicinity. Because the latter was holding the glaive knife in both hands, it seemed that it was relatively easy to cut off the Wei army in front of him or directly stab through the opponent's body.

After the Liaodong Army under Ruan Weng Shao's division and the Wei army fought together, the Liaoxi Army under He Huai's division on the left flank and Han Xin's army on the right flank all broke out in melee with the Wei army that rushed over.

Almost every moment, there were screams from the Wei army, the Liaodong army, and the officers and soldiers of the Liaoxi army.

However, if one carefully distinguishes the source of these screams, one problem will be clearly discovered, that is, although the screams emitted by the Wei officers and soldiers are similar to their enemies, they are accompanied by a considerable number of heads that have fallen to the ground one after another, and it is conceivable that the number of officers and soldiers killed in the Wei army is far greater than that of the Liaodong army.

The battle on the front line is becoming more and more intense, and almost every moment there is blood spilled on the battlefield, and almost every moment there are people who are injured or die just like that.

At that time, at this time, even the Wei army, which had suffered more and more heavy casualties, did not retreat, perhaps not that the Wei army did not want to retreat, but that they could not retreat at all.

If someone sees this scene in the sky, they will be able to see the personnel of both sides, and once someone loses their combat ability and falls to the ground, his place will soon be filled by others and continue the fight.

However, anyone who sees such a scene in the sky will clearly see a situation, that is, the three battle formations of the Wei army almost unanimously retreated in unison.

Not only that, compared to the entire battle situation in which the Liaodong Army was still relatively complete and gradually advancing in batches, the number of people in the several battle formations in front of the Wei Army was becoming more and more scarce.

......

Of course, Wei Bao and the people who followed him saw this scene clearly, but they didn't expect that the group of Wei officers and soldiers wearing armor at the front would be solved by the other party in the melee with the Liaodong Army so easily.

Many of them knew very well that those who were at the forefront of the battle formation were not other unknown troops, but Wei Bao's most proud Wei warriors.

Many people, including Wei Bao, were shocked by such an incident.

You must know that although these Wei Wushu, in the hearts of many people, they are indeed false. But in less than a quarter of an hour, the army was almost completely annihilated. Such a thing is simply not easy for them to accept.

Especially Wei Bao, when he saw that the Wei army in the three battle formations was almost suppressed, he was angry for a while, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and then fainted on his royal car.

When everyone saw this scene, they almost panicked about their proportions.

A certain young civil servant who saw this scene did not go to "join in the fun", but shook his head.

He clearly saw that in this battle, the Wei army was defeated very completely, because not only was the 6,000-strong Wei Wushu army almost completely wiped out, but the other troops who fought might not all die in this place, but there was no possibility of a good end.

Because in such a situation, it is impossible for the enemy not to pursue. It may be unlikely that the opposing infantry will continue to pursue, but the chariots and knight units that the Liaodong Army has not used can play their best role in this place.

The Wei army was indeed defeated, and the difference was whether Wei Bao, who fainted on the chariot, would lose even such a little money to his grandmother's house.

The young civil servant slowly closed his eyes and sighed faintly.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the chariot troops and knight troops of the Liaodong Army, all of which launched an attack on the Wei army at the same time......

"That's a defeat. The young civil official looked at this scene, and then glanced at Wei Wenwu, who was looking at each other because of such a situation, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On August 22, 208 B.C., later historians had this record:

On that day, the new king Zhang Jiashi broke the 50,000 army of Wei Wangbao in the east of Julu, killed more than 20,000 people, and captured more than 10,000 people. Wei Wangbao led the remnants of less than 6,000 people and retreated into the fortress like a lost dog.
