Chapter 407: On the Battlefield

The cavalry charged, and as soon as the front row fell into the trap, the rear row was immediately overturned by a large number of people on their backs.

"Heavy crossbow!"

Meng Chen shouted again.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"

A row of crossbow arrows shot out again, piercing through the Xiqi cavalry camp.

At the same time, thousands of archers were firing arrows at the enemy line.

"What a despicable thief!"

In the rear military formation, Nangong Shi was so shocked that his eyes were split, and he hissed angrily.

The night before yesterday, the Jizhou army went out of the city to build the foundation of the camp outside the city of Xicheng, and the merchant army sentry did not know the situation, so they only dared to wait and see from afar. Unexpectedly, the Jizhou army not only dug a circle of ravines to build a camp, but also arranged a huge trap with a width of Xu Xu on the periphery!

After the angry scolding, a deep chill rose in Nangong Shi's heart.

The other party was deliberate, and it was obvious that they had already expected them to attack the city today. The Jizhou army committed a taboo in the soldiers, and set up a formation around a large number of prisoners to defend the defense, obviously deliberately luring them to attack.

"Roundabout flanks!"

At this time, even though he knew that the Jizhou army had already prepared, Nangong Shi had no way to retreat, so he had to shout and pass the order, so that more cavalry could attack the two wings of the Jizhou army, wanting to find a breakthrough with a weaker defense.

It's a pity that there are no weak spots!

The Jizhou army defending the captured outside the west city, the defense of the left and right flanks was only as wide as Lixu, and a hundred three-bow bed crossbows were also arranged on each side, as well as more than 1,000 archers.

The giant black crossbow arrows that are more than two meters long and as thick as a child's arm are not at all able to resist the cavalry with very poor defense, and each round of crossbow arrows will tear through the enemy formation, and the cavalry forward will be shot by a group of people shouting horses and neighing, killing and wounding.

Coupled with the close cooperation of more than 1,000 archers, the military formation of 30,000 people in Jizhou was as unbreakable as an iron wall.

In just a moment of engagement, the number of casualties in the forward of the Xiqi Army was already close to 20,000!

Outside the west city of Jizhou, on a battle line about five miles wide, dead bodies were everywhere at this time, and blood flowed like a river, which had become a hell on earth.

However, under the persecution of Nangong Shi and the overseer's own soldiers, the Xiqi army also relied on the accumulation of dead horses and corpses to advance the infantry in the last row to the vicinity of the Jizhou military formation.

"Heavy shields! spearmen!"

Meng Chen used the power of the Yang and shouted again.

"Whoa......

On three sides of the Jizhou army, the archers quickly retreated, replaced by the cooperation of thousands of heavy shields and spearmen.

Each spear was more than three meters long, and it stabbed out from the gap between the heavy shields, and immediately stabbed the swarming Xiqi soldiers to the ground in rows.

However, at this moment, in the camp of the Xiqi army that was approaching, thousands of Xiqi soldiers with loud voices began to shout together.

"Listen to the northern soldiers, for the sake of their families, wives and daughters, they will attack the rear of Jizhou!"

"Listen to the northern soldiers, for the sake of their families, wives and daughters, they will attack the rear of Jizhou!"

......

The sound of shouting and shouting was like a tsunami from the mountains, passing through the Jizhou military formation and entering the rear "camp", and the ears of the more than 80,000 captured soldiers of the Northern Alliance.

Some of the northern soldiers who heard the shouts of the Xiqi army suddenly turned ugly.

They are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield, although they are difficult to work together because the main general is in charge of their own affairs. But at this moment, they can still guess the meaning of the shouting of the "friendly army" on the other side.

Sure enough, after the Yin Shang army shouted a few times, the content of the shouting immediately changed.

"Surrendering in battle, the crime is like collaborating with the enemy, bringing your family and your wife and daughter!"

"Surrendering in battle, the crime is like collaborating with the enemy, bringing your family and your wife and daughter!"

......

When these words reached the ears of the soldiers of the alliance of the northern princes, some people immediately turned pale.

Listen to this, if they don't do anything, to cooperate with the opposing friendly attack. Then in the future, the friendly forces on the opposite side will punish their families, wives and daughters.

"Huh!"

Meng Chen's sword flew up and quickly came to the top of the more than 80,000 captives of the Northern Princes' coalition army.

This is expected, and it is also the most dangerous joint in this war.

Xiqi Army's words were quite vicious, and they even used the wives and daughters of the families of these soldiers as a threat to encourage the soldiers to make trouble.

Is it to implicate the family, is it the Xiqi Army that can have the final say?

However, at this time, it is obviously impossible to explain it clearly to these soldiers.

As Meng Chen's imperial sword floated into the air, Xin Huan, who was in the Jizhou military array, also fluttered his wings and followed Meng Chen to the sky above the soldiers.

The appearance of Meng Chen and Xin Huan immediately calmed down the soldiers who were about to move again.

"The Jizhou army is invincible! Wen Taishi's army, Qinglongguan's Zhang Guifang's army, and Xiqi's army have all been defeated, and in several major battles, which army has not surrendered in large numbers? It's just that the Jizhou army is too lazy to accept it, and only collects your weapons and then puts you back! Are you only allowed to disarm, and we are not allowed to surrender?"

This is the thinking of most people in the alliance of the northern princes.

But there are also people who don't think so.

"Eat Junlu, be loyal to the king! There are few soldiers in Jizhou, everyone will follow me to attack the camp, cooperate with the outside and make contributions!"

In the camp of the surrender troops, a tall general suddenly stood up and shouted.

Beside him, hundreds of guards immediately followed and stood up.

Someone took the lead, and among the other descendants, there was immediately a commotion.

"Bei Bohou treats everyone well, can we just sit here and watch the friendly troops fight hard? Everyone rush with me!"

Another general suddenly stood up and shouted to the soldiers beside him.

......

"Kill!"

Without waiting for anyone to make a sound, Meng Chen immediately shouted towards the top of the Xicheng city wall.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng!"

Dozens of heavy bed crossbows immediately ignited and shot at the two generals who stood up.

"Puff puff ......"

Without the power to resist, the two generals were surrounded by their own soldiers, and a large number of people were killed and wounded immediately. The strength of the huge crossbow bolts continued unabated, and even the troops who did not rise up to make a rebellion were shot to death.

"One person rushes the camp, and the whole army dies!"

Meng Chen's voice was cold, and he opened his mouth to shout.

"Boom......"

On the west city wall, the archers and crossbowmen who were guarding on three sides outside the city immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at all the surrendering troops.

"One person rushes the camp, and the whole army dies!"

"One person rushes the camp, and the whole army dies!"

Outside the battle array, the shouts and shouts, which were ten times more powerful, echoed in the ears of the 80,000 surrendered soldiers.

The battlefield is brutal, and in battles where fewer people have always won more, there are often post-war killings and surrenders.

In the Battle of Changping, the killing god Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops. In the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, killed 200,000 Qin troops and surrendered his troops......

This is sometimes a helpless move, in the era of cold weapons, escorting troops is a very dangerous thing. One carelessness may lead to a rebellion, but on the contrary, the victorious side will suffer heavy losses.
