Wang Bo looked at the signs of order in the chaos on the battle array, and finally spoke: "Order, use trebuchets and bed crossbows to assist the front-line infantry troops!"

"Order!"

After a while, Song Shilun picked up the seal, covered it on a piece of paper, and handed it to a scribe. Soon the scribe hurried out with two heralds with yellow pennants on their backs.

At this time, on the catapult and bed crossbow positions, the military general commanding took the military order and looked at it, handed it to the military staff on the side, immediately pulled out the ring head knife on his waist, and shouted: "The Chinese army has an order! Battalions fighting! Order the trebuchet teams to get ready to shoot!"

In the midst of the shouting, the troops simply put the stone bullets into the bullet bags of the trebuchets, and more than thirty trebuchets were ready to go. A gong was heard, and a shout was heard: "Release!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! —」

Thunderous tremors rang out one after another, and the earth trembled.

On the gentle slope, I saw the main rods of the trebuchet rising in a row one after another, and the stone bullets flew out between the bounces, and the momentum was huge. However, the stone projectile did not fly fast, and it was huge, and it flew into the air with a visible appearance, and fell into the crowd of the ghost army with its weight.

Nearly 100 catties of stones fell from mid-air, and below were dense formations of Youjun infantry, spreading all over the place. The stone cannons could hit anyone at will, and only a few smashed into the open space between the phalanxes.

More than 30 trebuchets fired a volley into the dense crowd of enemy soldiers, and the enemy soldiers were killed and wounded dozens of people in an instant!

The stone projectiles fell between the dry and hard loess sand and stones, scattering the snow and dust, like the smoke of an explosion! Some hit people straight away, some cracked, and stones flew up, and one or two people who were unlucky around were injured.

However, the attack of the trebuchet really made the infantry of the Youjun army panic and shocked, and they were hit hundreds of meters away, which ordinary soldiers did not expect.

The scene was terrifying, in the snow, a secluded sergeant lay there on all sides, his head shattered, and his flesh and blood splashed on the ground. In another place, the bloody liver and intestines are in a pool of blood. There was a soldier screaming as he clutched his cheek that had been hit by a stone.

In the large phalanx where the Youjun army had just stepped forward, there was some chaos and disturbance everywhere, and the speed of advance was also slow. People look up at the sky.

However, the trebuchet of the Tang army rang as soon as it sounded, and then fell silent, more than 30 trebuchets, only carrying a battalion of more than 500 people, and it was very troublesome to regain strength and reload in one round.

But it also worked, and the second group of enemy soldiers was stunned by the stone bullets for a while, disrupting the rhythm of the rotational attack. The front line of the Tang army repelled the enemy soldiers in front of them, and won a chance to breathe, and the hundreds of generals hurriedly commanded their men and horses to retreat in columns. The upper second echelon each advanced in a horizontal formation, with gaps between each of them, allowing the columns in front to retreat.

Wang Bo still looked at the hill above the large cavalry on the opposite side, where people stood. The two sides are far apart, but from a wide valley, which seems to be facing each other.

The sound of trebuchets stopped and stopped, but the sound of fighting did not stop for a moment.

The heavy infantry of the Eighth Army on the gentle slope to the east let out a shout, like a dam to hold back the onslaught of thousands of people. The bed crossbow and trebuchet could not stop the attack of the sea of people, the two armies were deadlocked, the sound of killing shook the sky, the corpses were all over the hillside, and the wounded soldiers were crying in the sky.

In the rear of the Youjun army, more enemy soldiers were thrown into the front, and the Tang army front did not retreat. Zhou Yi, who was in front of the battle, shouted in the army: "The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is built because of the blood of Erlang!"

The cold wind crossed the ravine and swept through the boiling battlefield, carrying the smell of blood and the shouts of the people.

Wang Bo's heart was tense, and the palms of his hands holding the hilt of the sword were covered with sweat, and the damp touch was reminiscent of blood on his hands. He couldn't help but blurt out: "The great cause of the Tang Kingdom to dominate the world does not only rely on weapons, but also the popularity of my Central Plains will last forever!"

Song Shilun was beside Wang Bo at this time, and when he heard this, he bowed his head and said, "It is all because of the loyalty of the soldiers, the sun and the moon can be seen."

At this moment, the ghost armor cavalry in the distance finally moved! Large herds of horses slowly surged from the hillsides and valleys towards the north of the Tang camp.

To the north was the right flank of the Tang army, and at this time the elite cavalry of the Tang army was deployed behind the large infantry formation, that is, to the west

The movement of the cavalry was to prepare to attack on the flanks and assist the frontal infantry. The two armies are stalemate, and the conventional way to break the stalemate on the battle front is to invest new forces!

The smoke and dust in the mountains dispersed, and the rumbling sound of the horses in the north stepped on the smoke and dust, as if it was about to sweep the entire mountain and river. The infantry of the Youjun army in the east attacked more fiercely, and the number of troops increased one after another.

The sun had just risen in mid-air, and half a day had not passed, but the battle had intensified, and it was time for the fish to die and the net to be broken.

On the gently undulating hillside in the distance, the black-pressed horizon is undulating, and that's a herd of horses!

The sound of "rumbling ......" seemed to come from all directions, and it was like the sound of magma surging in a large area under the ground.

The cavalry group poured to a mile away, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to the right flank of the Tang army's large array, and all the way to the direction of the Tang army's rear flank to deploy cavalry. Patches of cavalry were still jogging, and their speed had noticeably begun to pick up.

At this time, the sonorous sound of a pipa sounded abruptly in the sound of horses' hooves and the noise of the crowd, faintly audible. Then many lute lute was played in unison, and drums and horizontal blows were added to make the song louder.

The melody of the pipa makes this battlefield, which is full of screams, pain, smoke and dust, seem to have a little more color.

The sonorous song, with a bit of pathos, spread between the galloping horses and the mountains full of swords and guns.

In the familiar sound of the pipa, the soldiers on the large array pulled away the thatch one after another, and the bed crossbows revealed their hideous faces! This modified bed crossbow was so powerful that it could shoot up to 700 to 1,000 paces. It takes a lot of effort to open the bow, and it takes the power of twelve stones to open the bow with the axis turning the car and opening the string, and there are seven arrows on the crossbow arm, and there is a giant arrow three feet five inches long and five inches thick in the center, which is very deterrent.

"Whew!" The general of the bed crossbow group, which was composed of more than 1,700 people, pulled out the ring head knife at his waist, and his face showed an excited expression. The gong players on the side grabbed the handle of the rod and stared at it.

The vanguard of the cavalry group spread out from about six hundred paces away! The herd of horses behind stretched to more than a thousand paces, and the herd of horses that had not yet launched an attack was dense, because they were jogging and not fast.

The sound of horses' hooves became even louder, and the shouts of killing suddenly rose, and countless iron hooves rushed out. The tune of the lute is like an accompaniment to a cavalry charge.

At this moment, suddenly the gong sound joined, followed by a loud "boom"! Between the contraction of the bowstring, a ten-pound giant arrow was instantly between the horses, and it flew rapidly sideways to draw a smooth parabola with a large arc.

"Bang!" The running rider didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't call out, and his head was suddenly missing! Flesh, bones, and brains splattered into the air.

Then, the second horseman behind him suddenly turned on his back, and one of the knights screamed in horror, and the horse neighed and rolled over. Between the lightning and flint, the giant arrow hit the hard earth and rocky ground, "Bang!" The lateral angle is small, and it bounces up immediately!

A cavalryman in the rear saw the black arrow fly, but it was too fast, the speed was completely disproportionate to the human reaction, and with the howling wind, the man watched the giant arrow crash into his side chest in an instant. "Bang!" He was almost knocked into the air, the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible, and he fainted immediately.

The arrow deflected and bounced on the ground a few more times, eventually slower, and slid on the ground. In the herd of horses, a line of people turned on their backs, and people were terrified, as if a strong wind was blowing through the wheat field.

The rows of crossbow bowstrings on the Tang army camp were tight, and hundreds of huge arrows flew up, and in a few moments, the "boom ......" explosion louder than the sound of horses' hooves spread to the continuous mountains.

The herd of horses that spread across the entire hillside seemed to have encountered a curse from heaven in an instant, and it was like an earthquake and thunder, it was a sudden disaster!

The crowd was in shambles, screaming and screaming in panic everywhere, bloody rain and bloody winds, flags collapsing and discarding in pieces.

But that's just the beginning! The second salvo of giant crossbow bolts quickly unleashed an earth-shattering roar.

After the third salvo, the bed crossbow, which was the first to fire the giant arrow, had already begun to move one after another, shifting positions.

The forward of the ghost army was frightened and panicked by the bed crossbow, but he couldn't stop the charge, because if he stopped, he would be hit by the war horse behind! Only

Wrapped in a gradual slowdown, chaotically rushed towards the infantry formation of the Tang army.

Facing each other were the battalions of the Tang Army's infantry army in formations. The front three rows of each battalion squatted down, and the front two rows staggered and squatted, with the tail of the spear nearly ten feet long stuck diagonally on the ground, and the wooden handle was held with both hands; The back row carried spears on their shoulders and faced forward, ready to stab their horses.

Along the back of the gentle slope, the position is slightly higher. It was six rows of crossbowmen.

The hundred generals held the ring-headed sword high and shouted, "Ready!"

A flag at the head of the row toppled forward, waving again like a dragonfly dotting water. The first row of soldiers fell to one knee on the ground, and the second row of soldiers stood and raised their arms and crossbows in unison.

"Put!"

Suddenly, the row standing first heard a "crackling" sound, and then the row kneeling alone immediately fired another salvo.

On the hillside, there was a crackling sound like smashing beans, and crossbow arrows rose in rows. The cavalry of the Shadow Army rushed into this formation from the front, and the fright after the crossbow shot from the bed caused chaos, and it was a disaster to get close at this time!

A ghost armor rode on the horse and trembled, blood splattered on his chest, and the ring-headed knife in his hand also flew, and the screams were heartbreaking. The horses were in chaos, and their own people were also rushing and overturning.

"Knock knock! Boom! —」

The crisp drum sound sounded first, and soon Heng Fu and Xiao also played in front of the Chinese army, and the golden gong also joined in, forming a very rhythmic tune; There is a slight adaptation in the song, and the drums are still beating, beating the drums in a constant rhythm, which is more suitable for the sense of rhythm of tactics.

The melody of the wind music made Wang Bo of the Chinese army a little distracted, this is a song that Wang Rong often hummed when he was a child, and now it is used as military music.
