The cold wind was not howling, but it was biting. www.biquge.info The landing of the Yin army is nearing the end, and dozens of miles of river beaches are full of dense fires and figures!

There is no need for scouts to report now, it is 100,000 people on this shoal, and ordinary people can see it with the naked eye! Some Xuan soldiers have seen this kind of battle for the first time in their lives, and they are already speechless in fright before the battle has even started!

It is no wonder that all the enemies in armor are everywhere, and the equipment of the Yin army is much better than that of the Xuan army! All kinds of crossbow arrows are carried down from the ship, and there are also stone wagons and siege engines that can be assembled in half a cup of tea! If you want to say that you are not afraid, it is fake!

Although Yinhu is tyrannical and cruel to the people, he is willing to spend money on the army, after all, he is from the army and knows the importance of the army!

It's just that most of the money he analyzed has been divided among the bureaucrats in the army, and there are very few that fall into the hands of ordinary soldiers, and sometimes even the military salary is not enough!

However, there are still plenty of things on this table, such as the latest battle armor, the sharpest weapons, etc., these are all things he can see with the naked eye, and no one dares to cheat on this!

Yin Jun, who had been bumpy for a day and a night, simply regarded the shallows as his home, lit a bonfire, took out the dried meat, and baked it on the bonfire, the rich aroma of meat even the Xuanbing who was far away on the big fish mountain could smell it, and they all stretched their necks and swallowed saliva, took out the dry food they carried, and chewed hard!

From the discovery of the enemy situation in the afternoon to the present time, the soldiers have been spending time in a tense battle, and they have not had time to eat a bite of food or drink a sip of water!

Now the Yin army is actually camping on the shoals and burying the stove, this is simply a manifestation of not knowing whether to live or die! Tong Xiaofeng swallowed the dried steamed buns in his mouth, glared at Xiao Bao and Shi Wuce, and said: "Emperor, military advisor, please order me to lead the Qilin Army into battle, and kill him while this group of Yin dogs are eating big fish and meat, and not leave a piece of armor!"

Xiao Bao and Shi Wuce looked at each other and smiled, and they both shook their heads. Shi Wuce said to Tong Xiaofeng: "General Tong, don't be impatient! If you go to battle now, you will fall into the tricks of the Yin army! The shallows are flat, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it, there is no way to avoid it, there is a huge disparity in the strength of our two sides, once we go down the mountain, we will definitely be defeated!"

Tong Xiaofeng thought about it, and it was indeed the truth, so he had to take out the dry steamed buns again, chewing depressedly and said, "Are we just watching these guys eating and drinking under our noses?"

Shi Wuce laughed and said to him: "There are many rocks and forests on the mountain, which is easy to hide, and they dare not attack the mountain if they are not 100% sure at night, so we must tell the brothers to seize the time to replenish food and take the opportunity to rest!

Second Lieutenant Guan Yuanguang shrunk his neck, and said to Shi Wuce with a bitter face: "But military advisor, the humidity on this mountain at night is too great, I'm afraid that the soldiers won't be able to stand it, it's cold!

Shi Wuce just wanted to stop it, Xiaobao shook his head at him, and said to Guan Yuanguang with a smile: "General Guan, you take two people, go to that place, do you see? It's a cliff, just make three fires there, ten meters apart, remember, as soon as the fire rises, it will come back, don't stay there, understand?"

Although Guan Yuanguang was strange in his heart and didn't understand what Xiaobao's intention was, he still bowed down and said to Xiaobao: "Obey!

The three of them quickly disappeared into the night, and after two teas, the fire suddenly burned on the edge of the cliff in the distance, and it was not small, and even the bottom of the mountain could be seen clearly!

Immediately after that, two more fires lit up one after another, and the wind blew the woods, and the firelight loomed, like thousands of troops and horses roasting fire in the mountains. （hua.

Guan Yuanguang ran back with his two brothers and said to Xiaobao: "Tell the emperor, the task has been completed!"

Xiaobao nodded, put his index finger to his mouth, shushed for a moment, then pointed to the riverside, and whispered, "Look at it!"

The Yin army on the riverside was not unusual at first, but a horse shuttled through the crowd and ran from the front to the beach behind.

After a while, the Yin army suddenly divided into two rows, leaving a passage in the middle, and a group of people pulled five wooden carts from behind, covered with black linen!

From the mountain, everyone can only see a small shadow, which is not very real. Tong Xiaofeng stared at the black dot the size of an ant, and said disdainfully, "What is that? What's the matter, does this copper tiger still want to take a car up the mountain?"

No one answered him, because everyone couldn't see it clearly. I saw that the five cars were moving like ants, and slowly walked to the front of the Yin army, and after a distance of at most two hundred zhang from the foot of the mountain, they stopped, lifted the black cloth on the car, and revealed an iron cylinder like a big chimney!

Someone from the Qilin army scattered around Xiao Bao let out an exclamation and shouted, "How is it possible? They actually brought a crossbow!"

Xiaobao's face changed, and he said to Shi Wuce: "It seems that someone from our brother knows about this thing and calls him over!"

Shi Wuce nodded, and shouted, "Which brother was screaming just now?"

A Xuan general came out of the crowd and knelt on the ground: "Cheng Yuan, the deputy captain of the third battalion of the last general Qilin Army, knock on the emperor, please forgive the last general for the crime of disturbing!"

"It's okay!" Xiaobao stepped forward to help him up and said, "General Cheng, please get up, you just said that that thing is a crossbow?"

Cheng Yuan nodded, and said to Xiaobao: "Tell the emperor, I also guess, but it should be a crossbow! This is a weapon developed by Yin Juncai, I have only seen the prototype, and it is not perfect, but the range at that time has reached 100 zhang!"

"Wow!" everyone looked down the hill in disbelief. At this moment, with the wave of a general's arm, a continuous rain of arrows suddenly erupted from the five cars, and with the howling of the broken wind that could be clearly heard on the mountain, it shot into the burning cliff!

Everyone was dumbfounded, Tong Xiaofeng watched as the trunks of the thick bowls were cut off by the waist and fell under the cliff, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth!

Shi Wuce said with a gloomy face: "It must be the use of the machine spring, it is definitely beyond the reach of manpower! This thing is extremely powerful, it must be a big disaster for my Xuan army, we must be like a way to prevent it, otherwise we will suffer a big loss!"

Xiaobao smiled and said to Guan Yuanguang: "General Guan, you now understand why we can't make a fire, right?"

Guan Yuanguang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded. This crossbow is not only shot far, there are at least more than 3,000 arrows in a round of arrow rain in five cars, and the range is hundreds of meters, if it weren't for the emperor to remind himself to light the fire and hurry back, even if he put on his wings, he can't dodge, and he will definitely be shot into a hedgehog!

After two rounds of arrow rain, a steep cliff was exposed, and the Yin army knew that there was no way to hide people there, so the crossbow slowly retreated, and everyone drank and ate meat in the shallows.

Shi Wuce looked up at the sky and muttered: "It's time now, the Yin army will definitely not dare to attack the mountain on a large scale tonight, we are in the dark, they are in the light, and they will not act on a large scale until dawn!"

"That's just right!" Tong Xiaofeng became honest after seeing the power of the crossbow, and looked at the mountain with palpitations and said, "We just rest for the night, and then fight them to the death when the morning dawns!"

Shi Wuce shook his head and said: "We can't go on, we must eliminate a part of the Yin army before dawn, and then retreat to Xianji, and use the advantage of the city defense to block the offensive of the Yin army!"

Xiao Bao nodded on the side and said to everyone: "We are now taking the initiative, but if we drag it out, we will become passive! Because the Yin army is prepared, there is a large amount of grain and grass on the ship, and we are indeed temporarily stationed here, after a long time, the grain and grass cannot keep up, and we will be dragged to death on this big fish mountain!"

When everyone heard this, they all reacted. Tong Xiaofeng slammed the meteor hammer to the side, smashed a mountain rock into pieces, snorted and said: "His grandmother's, just fight, I'm afraid they won't succeed! Emperor, military advisor, you command, how do we fight this battle?"

Shi Wuce stared at the shallows in the distance, and he didn't know what to order for a while! The strength shown by the enemy made him re-evaluate the original deployment, and Wu Fu's troops at the foot of the mountain could be withdrawn, otherwise the enemy would rain a round of crossbow arrows before charging, and the brothers below would become targets!

"The crossbow is domineering, but it also has a weakness, that is, it is quite slow to move, it looks very bulky, and it is not very suitable for climbing mountains!" Shi Wuce analyzed softly, and everyone was also listening silently.

Xiaobao added on the side: "There are not many war horses in the Yin army, I roughly estimated it, it should be less than three thousand!"

Tong Xiaofeng snorted and said, "Three thousand cavalry, that's almost the same as our Xuan Army! It's a pity, there are so many Pegasus meteors prepared, and there are only such a few people, it's really not fun!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the fear that had arisen just now from seeing the power of the crossbow was instantly dispelled!

The Pegasus Meteor is a weapon newly produced by the foundry to deal with the cavalry of the Yin Army, and Xiaobao has also seen its power, and only after being satisfied with it will it be vigorously promoted in the whole army.

This time, I thought it would come in handy, but I didn't expect that the Yin army was greedy for merit, and wanted to use the tactics of the sea of people to quickly cut through the chaos to solve the Xuan army, so I didn't send more cavalry, otherwise the Styx Lake would not be a mountainous area, and the cavalry charge would be more powerful!

However, once the ships carried too many horses, the corresponding number of soldiers was reduced, and it seemed that under the trade-off, the Yin army still sent more infantry, and the cavalry was only a small lieutenant battalion.

The armor of the Yin army is heavy, even if it is not a heavy armor soldier, the armor worn by ordinary infantry is more than twice as heavy as that of the Xuan army, so they can't catch up with the Xuan army, but the defense is much better than the armor of the Xuan army, and if the general arrow does not hit the head or joints, it will not cause them much damage!

These are the weaknesses of the Yin army, and now it is up to us to see how to use these weaknesses to attack the Yin army and dampen their arrogance and sharpness!

But at this moment, Chihong Liuyun suddenly hissed excitedly, and kept raising his legs beside Xiaobao, sneezing!

Xiao Bao was inexplicable, and patted Chihong Liuyun's neck: "Dude, what's wrong with you?" But at this moment, the hurried Ye Di suddenly sounded! Xiao Bao and Shi Wuce's faces also changed greatly, and they exclaimed at the same time: "There are still enemies?!"
