Chapter 465: The Dead Accumulate and the Enemy Scatters
Anyone who loves the history of the Three Kingdoms has mostly heard of the prestige of Zhuge Repeater.
As the name suggests, the Zhuge Repeater is a kind of repeater made by Zhuge Liang, and the Zhuge Repeater was originally called the Yuanrong Crossbow.
Due to the lack of historical data, later generations do not know when the Zhuge repeater was made by Zhuge Liang.
But with such a powerful weapon, even if Zhuge Liang learns from the heavens, the cycle of making it will never be short.
After crossing over to the world, Mi Yang, because of the curiosity in his heart, had repeatedly knocked on the side to see if the Zhuge Repeater had been made during this time period.
It was not easy for others to find out this news, but as Mi Yang, it was easy for him to know about this matter.
He is Zhuge Liang's beloved disciple, just write a letter to ask.
Fortunately, the Zhuge Repeater exists in the Han army at this time period.
The sketch design of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow was actually completed with his wife Huang Yueying when Zhuge Liang was young, and he was not out of Longzhong that year.
Later, although he came out, it was a pity that in the early days of following Liu Bei, Liu Bei's base was weak and unstable, and of course there was no national strength to support Zhuge Liang to turn the Zhuge repeater in the sketch into reality.
However, after the Battle of Hanzhong, the Han Dynasty, who occupied the two states of Jingyi, had the initial national strength to forge the Zhuge Repeater for Zhuge Liang.
However, because the forging process of Zhuge repeaters is very complicated, even if Zhuge Liang exerts his national strength, it will only be able to create thousands of Zhuge repeaters in a few years.
And not as later generations thought, the Zhuge crossbow can be carried by soldiers.
The volume and weight of the Zhuge Repeater are too large for a single soldier to use, so after forging the Zhuge Repeater, Zhuge Liang placed thousands of Zhuge Repeaters in Yangping Pass to guard Yangping Pass.
All of the above are the inconveniences of Zhuge Repeater.
But Zhuge Repeater had so many inconveniences, but Zhuge Liang still insisted on forging it, of course, not to satisfy his desire for invention.
The various inconveniences of the Zhuge repeater have created its extremely powerful power.
A few days ago, Mi Yang had personally tested the power of the Zhuge Repeater.
In previous experiments, Mi Yang found that the Zhuge Repeater could fire ten arrows in a very short period of time, which made the Zhuge Repeater have strong firepower.
This is enough to make Mi Yang happy, and what makes Mi Yang even more happy is that Zhuge Lian's crossbow and even the arrows are specially made.
At that time, most of the arrows in the world were still wooden, but the arrows of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow were all made of iron.
"With iron as an arrow, the arrow is eight inches long."
When future generations read these eight words, they may not be able to appreciate the shock brought by these eight words.
But these eight words are enough to surprise anyone in the eyes of the world.
With these eight words, it is enough to ensure that the arrows of Zhuge Repeater have a strong armor-piercing ability!
Even in the knowledge of later generations, once an arrow made of iron is shot into the enemy's body, even if it does not hit the vital point, it is difficult for the enemy who is hit to survive the subsequent treatment.
There is a disease called tetanus.
Thousands of Zhuge repeaters are Mi Yang's greatest confidence in this battle.
When the tens of thousands of Wei troops led by Cao Zhen entered the Yangping Pass, he found that there was not no Han army in the pass.
There are still nearly 1,000 Han troops in the pass, and they are constantly blocking the invasion of a large number of Wei troops by virtue of the steep terrain in the pass.
Seeing this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of Cao Zhen's mouth.
He made the right bet today, Mi Yang really transferred most of the sergeants to the front of the pass to ambush Cao Hong.
Otherwise, he is definitely facing more than these Han troops now.
After realizing this, Cao Zhen kept waving the order flag in his hand, so that the surrounding Wei troops continued to press towards the pass desperately.
Cao Zhen knew what his purpose was—Cao Hong might be facing the onslaught of Miyang's army at the moment, so the more fierce he attacked in the rear, the less danger Cao Hong would encounter.
Moreover, now that his army has rushed into Yangping Pass, even if Mi Yang now learns about the military situation behind the pass, he wants to urgently deploy sergeants to help, but he is fighting fiercely with Cao Hong, how many troops have he transferred?
Yangping Pass, from the moment he stepped into it on horseback, it already belonged to his Great Wei.
At this moment, Cao Zhen's face was full of pride.
Even Cao Zhen was thinking about whether to kill Mi Yang after he captured Mi Yang in a while.
Cao Zhen really couldn't bear to kill Mi Yang.
What Cao Zhen didn't know was that when his face was full of excitement, there was a pair of eyes as calm as water in the surrounding dense forest, constantly watching him.
Even though Fa Miao beside him kept urging Mi Yang to urge Zhuge Repeater, Mi Yang's calm gaze did not change at all.
The Wei army is not deep enough!
The life-and-death duel of famous generals can often be concluded in an instant.
Now is the moment of that moment, the more this time, the more Mi Yang has to calm down.
Just after Mi Yang waited quietly for half an hour, he saw that the Wei army no longer came in outside the pass, and the advance of the Wei army in the pass was approaching step by step, and it was very close to his mountain.
After perceiving this, Mi Yang no longer waited.
A young general decisively pulled out the long sword at his waist in the dense forest, and with a clear shout, the tip of the sword that flashed cold light also pointed at the tens of thousands of Wei troops below.
With Mi Yang's sword pointed at tens of thousands of enemies, the thousands of Han troops who had been prepared for a long time immediately launched the Zhuge Repeater in their hands without hesitation.
The Zhuge Repeater is difficult to use alone, and in order to successfully control a Zhuge Repeater, at least three soldiers are required to cooperate with each other.
When thousands of Han soldiers filled the Zhuge crossbow with arrows in unison, almost in the next second, thousands of unstoppable fine iron arrows shot towards the tens of thousands of Wei troops below.
In order to quickly clear the participating Han troops blocking the front, Cao Zhen ordered hundreds of cavalry to open the way directly in front of the army.
The tall cavalry walked majestically at the forefront of tens of thousands of Wei troops, so these hundreds of cavalry were also the first to be attacked by thousands of iron arrows.
Before the hundreds of Wei cavalry could react, thousands of extremely fast iron arrows flew directly in front of them.
With a chilling pop, patches of blood exploded in the air in front of hundreds of Wei cavalry like petals flying in the sky.
Soon after, deep holes in the bodies of these hundreds of Wei cavalry were constantly flowing with blood.
Thousands of iron arrows directly pierced the bodies of these hundreds of Wei soldiers, making them unable to die anymore.
When the hundreds of Wei cavalry died, their originally erect corpses, like kites with broken strings, fell heavily to the ground from their tall horses.
At the same time, most of the hundreds of horses that lost their owners were also killed by the iron arrows that were shot, and for a while, the sad neighing of the horses resounded one after another in Yangping Pass.
When the mournful neighing fell, the corpses of hundreds of tall horses fell irrepressibly backwards.
It's like the Yangping Gate that was smashed open by the Wei army just now.
One shot and a hundred horses down!
The corpses of hundreds of Wei cavalry and war horses fell to the ground together, setting off a thick cloud of dust in front of the eyes of tens of thousands of Wei troops.
Everything happened so fast.
The Wei infantry in the rear didn't know what was going on, so they saw that they had been leaning on the barrier, and the cavalry that had been leaning on the blade instantly turned into nothing in their eyes, leaving only a thick dust in their eyes.
This scene was extremely impactful, and at the same time, it also made fear rise in the hearts of many Wei soldiers.
But before the fear in the hearts of many Wei soldiers brewed, the sharp-eyed Wei army suddenly found that in that thick dust, it seemed that thousands of meteors were shooting towards them.
It wasn't a meteor, it was the iron arrow released by the second round of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow.
The Zhuge Repeater does not refer to the ability to release ten iron arrows at the same time, it refers to the ability to shoot ten arrows in a very short period of time.
Because of the advanced nature of the Zhuge Repeater, before most of the Wei troops could react, the second round of thousands of iron arrows galloped towards their dense military formation.
Coupled with the narrow terrain in Yangping Pass, the Wei army was very dense when it charged.
And this status quo undoubtedly invisibly allows the Zhuge Repeater to exert its greatest power.
When thousands of iron arrows fell from above and shot into the dense formation of tens of thousands of Wei troops, at least hundreds of Wei troops died directly under the attack of the Han army's iron arrows in an instant.
But just before the Wei army could react and set up a shield wall for defense, the third round of iron arrow attacks from the Zhuge Repeater shot into the dense lineup of the Wei army at an extremely fast speed.
This caused hundreds of Wei soldiers to scream again, gushing blood and falling straight to the ground.
Just two rounds of iron arrow attacks, when the Wei army was caught off guard, took the lives of nearly a thousand of them.
Such a terrifying scene, without the rendering of screams, can instantly spread a sense of fear to the whole army.
Even Cao Zhen felt it, and a chill was spreading all over his body at an extremely fast speed, from the bottom to the top of his tail vertebrae.
This kind of chill made Cao Zhen, who had never known what to be afraid of, feel fear for the first time.
But after all, Cao Zhen has experienced a hundred battles, even if fear has almost occupied all his psychology, he still retains a trace of clarity in the end, and issued a poignant order:
"Shield! Shield! ”
When Cao Zhen's order spread, soon guards holding shields kept stepping forward, thinking of rushing to the front of the formation to set up a shield formation and guard the comrades behind him.
But it's a pity that although Cao Zhen's order was timely, and the shield bearers in the Wei army were all brave men, the Wei army's formation was too dense.
This dense formation greatly delayed the movement of the shield player.
Even due to the sudden forward of the shield player, this caused a great commotion in the already unstable Wei army formation.
Under the fear in his heart, the Wei army in the front row immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and fled towards the surrounding mountain roads.
As soon as the Wei army in the front row dispersed, where was the Wei army in the back row willing to act as a live target?
As a result, while the iron arrows on the mountain continued to shoot down, the remaining formation of the thousands of Wei troops also completely collapsed.
The circular array composed of thousands of Wei troops was like a bubble that was getting bigger and bigger at this moment, and after reaching a certain critical point, it suddenly exploded in Mi Yang's eyes.
Gorgeous!
One shot is down, and then ten thousand shots are opened!
This ancient poem best describes the current battlefield situation.
After seeing this scene, Mi Yang couldn't help but laugh heartily in the mountains and forests.
The infantry army is most taboo in a scattered formation, and the infantry army with a scattered formation, no matter how many people there are, is just a lamb to be slaughtered!
After perceiving that the Wei army's formation was scattered, Mi Yang ordered to stop the shooting of Zhuge repeaters.
Judging from the performance of the Zhuge repeater just now, its power is no different from what is recorded in the history books.
But unfortunately, with the current level of technological development, if a weapon is too powerful, then its accuracy is bound to not be too good.
This can also be seen from the shooting just now.
The range and power of the Zhuge Repeater are definitely the first-rate level in the world, but the thousands of arrows it shoots in each round are often only a few hundred that can hit the enemy, and this is still when the enemy is densely gathered.
At present, the formation of the Wei army has been scattered, which allows Mi Yang to find a good opportunity to defeat the Wei army, and at the same time, the effectiveness of the Zhuge repeater is greatly reduced invisibly.
Moreover, after many rounds of shooting, in fact, the iron arrows of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow had already been consumed.
When those specially customized iron arrows were exhausted, the Zhuge Repeater could no longer exert its power in the next battle.
This made Mi Yang a little regretful, but this is actually normal.
If it weren't for the Zhuge Repeater with such drawbacks, Zhuge Liang would have relied on this kind of killing weapon in history to push all the way to Chang'an.
The Zhuge crossbow without shortcomings is not called a crossbow, it can be directly called a machine gun!
Although he had regrets in his heart, Mi Yang looked at the scene of the Wei army below where "the dead were piled up, and the enemy was scattered", and his heart was already very satisfied.
Then it's time for Liangzhou Huben to appear.
After the rousing drums that belonged to the Han army sounded, in the eyes of thousands of Wei troops, a scene suddenly appeared that shocked them.
I saw countless Han soldiers appearing in the mountains and forests, and they were rushing towards them at a very fast speed under the leadership of a veteran.
In addition, under the guidance of the sound of drums, a neatly arranged Han army suddenly ran out of the direction of the pass.
The phalanx of the Han army formed a wall of people, and was steadily advancing towards their thousands of Wei troops.
Looking at the many Han troops who rushed down from the mountains and forests and faintly cut off their retreat, and looked at the Han army array in front of him that was advancing like a wall of swords, Cao Zhen understood everything at this moment.
The combined number of the Han armies on the two sides was several thousand.
If Mi Yang really led the army to ambush Cao Hong today, where could he have arranged so many soldiers and horses in advance?
Everything is fake!
What Mi Yang wanted to hunt at the beginning was not Cao Hong's yellow finch, but his own goshawk!
What made Cao Zhen feel even more desperate was that one rocket after another was shot from the direction of the Han army, and after the rockets fell to the ground, they instantly caused a large fire.
The place where the fire was mainly pervasive was where his retreat was.
The army is besieged, the back road is blocked, is he really going to die here today?
Cao Zhen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
There is one more chapter in the early hours of the morning.
