Chapter Seven: Zhang He VS Tai Shici (I)
Xiahou Wei led 5,000 vanguard troops to reach the city of Tai'an, and ordered the soldiers to line up, the flags fluttering, the armor was distinct, and the spirit was vibrant, while Xiahou Wei took the lead and held the corner. This was followed by several warriors.
At this time, Zhang Hu had already led his troops out, and the two armies began to fight fiercely. Gao Shun was afraid that Zhang Hu would make a mistake, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the two armies boycotted the battle, and each returned to the city to rest.
It is said that the 3,000 troops led by Ding Feng to suppress the ordnance were cautious all the way and did not dare to be careless.
When the army marched to the junction of Tai'an and Juping, the spies came with the news of Gao Shun, and Yan Tai Shiheng had brought men and horses to answer.
Ding Fengzheng strangely passed all the way, the wind and waves were calm, when there was no enemy ambush, he saw a terrain at the corner, there were reeds on both sides, there was only a small road no more than three feet wide in the middle, the surrounding hills were constantly undulating, and the grass and trees were quiet and abnormal.
Ding Feng stretched out his hand vigilantly and signaled the generals to stop, at this time, suddenly a cannon sounded, and a group of Cao soldiers poured out of the undulating hills, killing all over the mountains, and there were enemy soldiers and horses in all directions, which was Xiahou Shang's army.
Ding Feng was shocked, and shouted an order: "Don't panic, everyone, prepare for the battle." ”
After a short period of panic, the Jiangdong Army quickly responded to Ding Feng's order, and a hundred strong crossbow carts seemed to be scattered around irregularly, but all the roads were blocked, and the crossbow carts in the back row had been raised under the operation of special soldiers, and more than a dozen huge spears and arrows were raised into the air. At this time, there were about a thousand or so sword and shield soldiers, rushing to the front row to protect the launch of the ballista.
Seeing that the preparations were finished, Ding Feng shouted, "Shoot me." ”
The soldiers who were making strong ballistas neatly unbuckled the buckles, and the rows of spears and arrows fell at the same time at a speed that could not be distinguished by the naked eye, flying in a semi-arc trajectory towards the dense place where Cao's soldiers were concentrated.
"Ahh A large number of indiscriminate blind shots landed in a densely populated area of Cao Bing, and a thrilling scream rang out. Once hit by a spear and arrow, it is the result of piercing the body, and because of the powerful impact of the spear and arrow, after shooting through one person, it flies towards another person with a powerful habitual surname, although the power has been greatly reduced at this time, but if there is no unguarded soldier, it is entirely possible to be injured again.
Xiahou Shang's face changed drastically, and his heart was shocked, maybe Xiahou Yuan and he might still be skeptical at first, but after seeing the power of the strong ballista at this time, he couldn't believe that Zhang Lang would make such a batch of powerful weapons. The range of the strong ballista is so far beyond the calculation, one cart of ten rounds, a hundred carts of thousands of rounds, the dense network of arrows illuminated almost covers the entire Chinese army, all the soldiers are within the range of attack.
Xiahou Shang had not yet recovered from the shock, and an even greater shock befell him again, the aftermath of the first wave of spears and arrows had not passed, and the second wave of arrows had already broken through the sky with a sharp roaring sky. Although they were prepared this time, most of the soldiers did not react, and they were shot dead and wounded.
Today is destined to be Xia Houshang's unforgettable day, he embarrassedly avoided the second wave, the third wave, and the fourth wave of spears and arrows almost in a gap time, and hit again.
"Ahh A series of screams rang out, and before the two armies really clashed, Xiahou Shang's troops had already fallen a large piece. What's more, Cao Bing, who was prepared, raised his sword and shield high, not only was the entire shield shot through the body, but also taken out of a few feet by the powerful impact. After struggling a few times, he died of hatred.
All Cao Bing was shocked, and the shadow of death began to appear in everyone's hearts.
And the strong ballista finally showed signs of stopping after firing ten waves in a row.
At this time, Cao's soldiers were already scarred, nearly 1,000 soldiers died, and more than half lost their combat effectiveness.
Xiahou Shang suddenly had a thought in his heart, and began to rise crazily, he must snatch this batch of strong ballista over, such a powerful convoy, if it is mastered by the enemy army and begins to produce in large quantities, only he will never have peace.
Taking advantage of the fact that the strong ballista seemed to have reined in, Xiahou Yuan mustered up the courage and shouted loudly: "Brothers, they have no arrows, they want to take revenge and rush with me." ”
Thinking of the madness of the strong ballista just now, all Cao Bing's eyes were flushed with blood, and they couldn't rush to bite the Jiangdong Army. Everyone rushed forward without permission, and the Cao army on both sides was not attacked at all, so they forced Ding Feng's troops as fast as they could.
Ding Feng looked at the crazy Cao Jun, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer, the biggest secret of the strong ballista is that if there are enough arrows, they can keep firing without a little pause, although the power is amazing, but relatively speaking, the speed of consuming spears and arrows is even more amazing. Ding Feng only carried two boxes of arrows per car this time, and the amount of two boxes of arrows was enough for him.
"On the shelves." Ding Feng's order lubricates the soldiers who guard the crossbow cart like spring rain, and there is nothing more to look forward to than this order. Hundreds of ballistas that had begun to turn off the lathe after firing a box of spears and arrows were quickly repositioned from the new one, and as the crossbow body continued to rise, the soldiers quickly loaded another box of arrows.
The firing principle of the strong ballista is almost the same as the principle of strafing by heavy machine guns now, automatic reloading, automatic loading, although Zhang Lang said it very simple at the time, but almost all first-class carpenters and blacksmiths were stupid, how could I never hear of such a development technology. The strong ballista took Jiangdong more than ten years to complete, and it was far from Zhang Lang's expectations.
"Ahhh The screams kept ringing out, and another indiscriminate series of arrows, Cao Bing was terrified, and everyone was lying on the ground with their heads tightly in their hands. Even so, there are still many people who have been pierced through their armor and died on the battlefield.
However, what made Cao Bing feel that there was still a glimmer of hope was that the two few men and horses on both sides began to fight close to the Jiangdong Army.
"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat." With Ding Feng's roar, all the soldiers quickly dispersed and occupied a powerful position.
The spears and arrows of the strong ballista were finally used up, but Cao Bing paid the price of nearly 2,000 soldiers killed and more than half of them lost their combat effectiveness.
"Kill." Cao Bing saw that the terrifying crossbow cart stopped firing arrows, and they were all ecstatic, and they all rushed up like a desperate San Lang, and the low morale began to soar non-stop.
The two armies began to fight in real hand-to-hand combat, and although Xiahou Shang's losses were extremely heavy, they still had a lot of advantages in terms of strength compared to Ding Feng's troops.
The sky and the earth were dark, the night was dark, and the entire battlefield was filled with the smell of bloody wind and rain.
The corpses of soldiers killed in battle lay on the lathes, on the roads, and by the reeds, and the earth was stained red with blood.
Just as Ding Feng began to fall into a bitter battle, Tai Shiheng had already begun to rush over with 3,000 soldiers.
But halfway through, he was robbed and killed by 10,000 soldiers led by Lelin.
Tai Shi Heng did not have any love battles, the two fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, and Tai Shi Heng went in the direction of Mount Tai.
Le Lin is very meritorious, where would he let go of such a great opportunity to lead the soldiers to chase after him.
When passing through a mountain and forest path, Tai Shiheng suddenly noticed that the Cao soldiers who were chasing behind kept screaming, Tai Shiheng hurriedly looked back, but found that a batch of hook and sickle guns appeared on the left side of the grass at some point, and after hooking the legs of the enemy's horses, the pikemen on the other side quickly stabbed the Cao soldiers on the ground.
Cao Bing was in chaos, and Le Lin hurriedly reined in his horse and prepared for the rear.
A cannon rang out, Tan Xiong led a horse to cut off the back road, Tai Shiheng was overjoyed, urged the horse to kill back, and attacked Le Lin on both sides. Coupled with the continuous destruction of the hook and sickle spears and pikemen on both sides, Cao's soldiers were unstable and chaotic. And the main general Le Lin was flustered and caught off guard, and was slashed by Tai Shiheng under the horse, and his head was hung on the horse.
As soon as Le Lin died, Cao's soldiers were even more chaotic, surrendering and fleeing.
After defeating Lelin's troops, Tai Shiheng and Tan Xiong joined forces and went to Ding Feng to support his troops.
At the same time, Zhang He, a famous general in Hebei, led 10,000 troops and horses to approach Juping City.
Juping City defended the rush, and was excavated by Tai Shi Ci Wen, Surabaya, from which into the Yellow River. How important its geographical location is, as the coach of the Shandong front, Zhang Liao naturally knows. Therefore, Juping is a small city and county, but it is guarded by Tai Shici's nearly 10,000 most elite Danyang army to protect the city.
Zhang He was killed to Juping, and Tai Shici had already set up a battle formation, and the battle was ready.
Zhang He was a famous general of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, one of the "five good generals" under Cao Ying, first from Han Fu, and then to Yuan Shao, and had many military exploits under Yuan Shao. During the battle of Guandu, he was framed by Guo Tu and had no choice but to surrender to Cao Ying, and since then he has been reused by Cao Ying, and has followed Cao Ying to fight in the south and the north, with outstanding achievements and countless contributions.
Zhang Heren looks like Wen Ru, why does he look very gentle, but if you look carefully, you will find that he has a fierce smell on his body, his eyes are very sharp, his appearance is dignified, and the red tassel knife in his hand is cold and glamorous, bursting with a cold murderous aura. He saw that Tai Shi Ci had set up an array under the city, led his cronies to inspect it, and praised it sincerely: "People only say that Tai Shi Ci has a steel gun in one hand and fights all over the world and rarely encounters opponents, but he doesn't know that the soldiers he trained are strict in formation, and they are a group of tigers and wolves. ”
Zhang He looked at the enemy in the battle and stepped forward, dressed in black and gold armor, waving red and blue robes, a tall and handsome horse, flying and domineering, pointing his gun at the camp. The smell of provocation spread all over his body, and Zhang He's fierce fighting spirit spontaneously emerged, and he turned around and said in a deep voice: "Who will go up to the front and try the depth of the enemy?" ”
Zhang He's general Deng Maung volunteered: "I didn't bring anyone with me." ”
Zhang He's face softened and said, "Okay, you take a thousand men and horses out of the battle, and act carefully." ”
Tai Shi Ci saw that the enemy formation suddenly changed, and in the middle of the point, a man and horse rushed out, and when he was halfway through the kill, the man and horse suddenly stopped, and only one general ran wildly with his hooves out, and the meaning of going head-to-head was self-evident.
Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, he wanted to teach the short-eyed guy in front of him a lesson, but there was a general in the lower part who raised his double swords and asked for battle: "General, my subordinates are willing to take the lead." ”
Taishi Ci regards it as a deputy general Bushan.
Bu Shan is Bu Qi's nephew, he is brave and brave, and his force is extraordinary, Tai Shi Ci nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Bushan got too Shi Ci to promise, excitedly danced with double knives, slapped the horse out, and came out to fight Deng Maung.
Deng Maung looked at it from afar and shouted: "Who is coming, I am Deng Maung, the deputy general under Zhang He." ”
Bushan sneered while urging the horse up: "Nameless people, dare to go to the battlefield to sacrifice ugliness? You give Ben a good memory, I am a step mountain. I'm here to take your dog's life. ”
Deng Maung was furious and slapped his horse to kill.
Where are the two knives in Bushan jealous? Open the bow left and right to fight Deng Maung.
Deng Maung was a little hot with a single shot, but he obviously couldn't catch the special surname of the double knife, and the left and right brackets that were killed.
Zhang He saw that something was wrong, and just wanted to urge someone to save him, but he was slashed by Bushan under the horse. He was furious and shouted: "Bushan boy, dare to kill my generals and take my life." Zhang He looked at the left and right, but he was not better than Deng Maung's generation, at most they were all between the middle, and he couldn't help but swing his sword into battle in person, and the soldiers on the left and right couldn't stop him if they wanted to.
Zhang He was upright and strong, and he was brave in fighting and brave, and he took the horse straight to the mountain.
Bu Shan saw that he was going to be fierce, and he couldn't help but concentrate his mind and shouted: "Come and report your name." ”
Zhang He said coldly: "I am Zhang He." ”
Bushan was overjoyed, and secretly thought that beheading Zhang He was the first achievement, and the enemy army could be defeated without a fight. Hurriedly patted the horse to catch up.
Zhang He's strength is greater, the red tassel chopped off his head, like lightning and flint, Bushan was shocked, and hurriedly raised his two-handed knife to seal the frame.
"Dang" There was a loud bang, Bushan's double knives were shocked, his hands were numb, and then he slashed Bushan under the horse.
Zhang He slashed the mountain with one move, shocking all the Danyang troops in the rematch.
When Tai Shi Ci raised his knife, he had already slapped his horse out, and when Zhang He had already stepped down from the mountain, Tai Shi Ci had quickly forced in and shouted: "Good Zhang He, today Tai Shi Ci will meet you." ”
Zhang He saw Tai Shici going into battle with a single gun, and couldn't help but say with pride: "Today, I will see the winner or loser on the knife." ”
Tai Shi Ci's steel spear has been raised, and the gun is like a dragon, flying wildly in the air, like a dragonfly dotting water, and it is rushing towards Zhang He.
Zhang He didn't want to fall behind, and shouted: "It's good to come." As soon as his legs tightened, the handsome horse roared, and the red tassel knife slashed Huashan, bringing a strong knife wind, enveloping him.
Tai Shi Ci saw that Zhang He was so strong, and stimulated his belligerent heart, and pointed the steel gun like a snake out of a hole, seven in and out, and conjured up seven gun shadows, the Tao was like a real illusion, and they all rushed towards with extremely powerful gun shadows, which quickly made people unable to grasp the route and distinguish between fiction and reality.
Zhang He was stunned in his heart, but he shouted in his mouth: "Tai Shi Ci really deserves his reputation. Between his words, the red tassel knife was already dancing and could not be cleared, and the knife curtain was like a light wheel turning, and the cold light was shining. Tai Shi Ci's seven gun shadows disappeared under his light wheel, and there was only one like a giant python galloping, rushing towards Zhang He.
Zhang He laughed loudly and said arrogantly: "What can I do with this? ”
