Zhuang Shaoyou rode on the horse with a solemn expression, looked at the six-column crossbow array around him, and looked at the camp of Yuan Shaojun, who was guarding like an iron bucket, and immediately ordered:

"Ballista ready! Thirty degrees of fig, get ready! ”

Following Zhuang Shaoyou's command, the four hundred ballistae began to adjust the angle of fire and pre-aim.

"First and second columns, release the arrows!"

"The first two columns are immediately reloaded!"

With the military order issued, the first two columns of nearly one hundred and forty ballistae fired the first salvo.

More than a thousand giant crossbows roared towards the door of Yuan Shao's camp, and then there was a sound of impact and screams, and the shield array at Yuan Shao's gate was torn open a small gap.

Yuan Shaogang on the command car breathed a sigh of relief, the loss was not big! Confidence suddenly doubled, but after carefully observing Zhuang Shaoyou's phalanx, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "Don't panic!" Keep on the defensive! ”

Seeing that after the first wave of arrow rain, the commander of the shield array at the gate of the camp immediately ordered the shield array to move in accordance with the previous military order to make way for the vanguard assault phalanx.

Seeing this, Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly: "The third and fourth columns, prepare!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The defense of the coalition battalion had not yet been re-arranged, and the second wave of crossbow arrows roared again, and this time, screams came one after another, and there were heavy casualties! Hundreds of panicked shield soldiers were stuck on the ground alive, miserable!

Yuan Shao's eyes were split, and he roared in the car: "Damn Zhuang Shaoyou! It's despicable! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou, who was six hundred steps away, snorted disdainfully: "The ballista array retreats and loads!" ”

The soldiers of the ballista formation were a little puzzled, but they still did not hesitate to carry out the order and began to retreat.

After the shield array guarding the camp suffered a loss, this time they didn't dare to be careless, and immediately organized the shield men to make up the formation, but as a result, the expected blow did not come.

Yuan Shao roared loudly in the command car: "You stupid! Vanguard Assault! Immediately! Don't waste time! ”

The coalition battalion immediately dodged a gap this time, and the vanguard led by Zhang He rushed out.

Zhuang Shaoyou rode on his horse without moving at all, and saw that the coalition army battalion had killed a team of soldiers, the number was extremely large, at least 20,000 people! The corners of his lips immediately pursed an arc, and when the vanguard of the coalition forces had killed thousands, he continued to order: "The fifth and sixth columns stop, turn immediately!" Five hundred steps ahead of the target, get ready! ”

Seeing the movement of Zhuang Shaoyou's phalanx, a trace of bad feeling rose, Yuan Shao's heart was cold, and he still fell in love with Zhuang Shaoyou's way! But the matter has come to this point, and it is irreparable, and immediately ordered: "Order the forwards to disperse and charge, quickly!" ”

However, it was too late!

More than a dozen war drums in the coalition camp were ringing loudly, and Zhang He took the lead in leading the vanguard and rushed over to the rhythm of the drums.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Zhuang Shaoyou's order, the remaining one hundred and twenty ballistae in the ballista array sent out a final rain of arrows and roared towards Zhang He's forward crowd.

"Ah~"

The forward troops screamed one after another, and the momentum of the offensive was setback.

Zhang He, who rushed to the front, heard the screams behind him, and hurriedly looked back, only to see thousands of corpses nailed to the ground by giant crossbows, like hell on earth.

Zhang He barely collected his thoughts, turned around, and shouted: "Avenge the dead brothers!" Follow me! Kill Zhuang Shaoyou! ”

With Zhang He's order, the vanguard commando team skimmed off the panic, and the ferocity in their bones was stimulated, and they accelerated towards Zhuang Shao's military policy.

Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't help but praise: "Jizhou soldiers, not bad!" It's a pity to follow the wrong owner! ”

The sky has been bright, north of Puyang City.

Mo Yu, the brigadier general of the first brigade of the naval division, was on the flagship, listening to the battle report sent by the scout, his face was cloudy. Hearing the big battle in the south and west of the city, Mo Yu slammed his fist on the table hatefully, and couldn't help but scold:

"I wouldn't have come to the hellish place of the water master if I knew it! Every day, in addition to patrolling, it is vigilance, the army eats meat, and the sailors can't even drink soup! Hell yes! It's so aggrieved! ”

Just then, a scout came to report:

"General Qiyu, half an hour ago, the coalition naval division was dispatched and headed in the direction of our army! The patrol ship is already engaged with it and is delaying! ”

When Mo Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward and grabbed the scout's collar and asked, "How many people are here?!" ”

The scout was startled by Mo Yu's eyes about to eat people, and stammered and replied, "There are more than 700 large and small warships!" ”

Mo Yu let go of the scout and began to calculate: "More than seven hundred? The Yellow River Gang really poured out! That's a lot! But it's exactly what I want! Come! Pass on my military order, and the whole army is ready to fight! Transfer the 2nd squadron back! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

The scout immediately ran away to give the order.

Mo Yu also took the time to tidy up his military uniform and walked to the deck, where he happened to meet several sailor generals, the deputy captain and staff officer of the first brigade on the way.

The deputy captain stepped forward and asked, "General, cooperating with the cavalry to break through is a military order issued by the lord himself!" You see... ”

Mo Yu snorted coldly: "The cavalry is so brave, it doesn't need the cooperation of the sailor at all!" Besides, the coalition naval division is pouring in, and our army is only one brigade, so it's good to be able to protect itself, how can we have the spare strength to cooperate with the cavalry? ”

The deputy captain said with a sad face: "General, although the Yellow River Gang has a large number of people, its combat power is obviously inferior, even if there is no second squadron, we can withstand it!" Besides, the Yellow River Gang may be thundering and raining, and it may not necessarily merge with our arms! Or the lord's order matters! ”

Mo Yu glared at the man with burning eyes and said, "Resist? Who said to resist? We need to take the initiative! Since the Yellow River Gang is here, it is not up to them to decide whether to fight or not! The second squadron left two ships to cooperate with the cavalry, and the rest were transferred back to participate in the battle! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the king's life will be affected! Here, I'm up to the shot! Execute the order! Violators are engaged in military law! ”

The deputy captain didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only convey the order.

The east gate of Puyang City.

Tai Shi Ci rode on his horse and ordered: "The whole army will check the armament again!" ”

After giving the military order, Tai Shici began to meticulously sort out the armament, opened the quiver on his back, closed his eyes, and gently counted the feather arrows in the quiver with his hand, silently remembering the position and feel of the rootless feather arrows in his heart.

"Report! ~~~~”

A scout galloped to the horse, and simply dismounted and saluted: "General Taishi, the allied naval division is attacking the north of the city, and the second brigade of the naval division has engaged the enemy, and most of the second squadron of the naval division that was originally prepared to cooperate with our army is advancing westward to participate in the water battle, leaving only two four-masted warships to cooperate with the army!" ”

Tai Shi Ci opened his eyes when he heard the news, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly let go and said categorically: "It's okay!" Pass on my military orders and send a signal to Deputy Capital Qin! Open the gates and set off! ”

"Yes, General!"

After a while, the east gate and the north gate of Puyang were opened at the same time, although there was no war drum, but the vibration caused by tens of thousands of iron hooves trampling on the ground was low and powerful, hitting people's hearts, and the ensemble played into a moving war song, and the people in the city who were not asleep woke up one after another to get up to check.

Taishi Ciqin led 5,000 iron cavalry to roar out from the east gate, and Qin Ling, the deputy commander of the cavalry, led the remaining 5,000 iron cavalry out of the north gate.

The coalition army East Road battalion.

Coach Liu Dai was so shocked by the momentum of the iron cavalry that he stayed on the spot, and Bao Xin and others, who were still guarding the camp gate, looked very solemn, and couldn't help but praise: "It's still the military advisor who is prescient!" ”

Chen Gong stared at Tai Shici's iron cavalry, and looked at it in a daze for a long time before he said: "In this battle, the coalition army is going to lose!" ”

Bao Xin and Yu Ban were silent when they heard Chen Gong's emotion.

Guan Hai, who had been issuing crossbow arrows outside the camp for a long time, hurriedly ordered:

"Shrink the formation!"

The three small phalanxes moved quickly and began to shrink into a ball, while the ballista array in front of them slowly retreated, preparing to retreat to the rear of the phalanx.

What follows is bound to be a bloody battle.

Restraining the coalition forces from attacking for half an hour, giving Tai Shici's cavalry time to break through, this is the military order issued by Zhuang Shaoyou to Guan Hai.

Chun Yuqiong, the deputy marshal of the Eastern Route Army, was the first to wake up from the shock, ignored the coach Liu Dai at all, and directly crossed the level and ordered:

"Pass my military orders! Let go of the camp, and the whole army will attack with me! ”

Liu Dai was awakened by Chun Yuqiong's heavy drinking, and glared at Chun Yuqiong with a sullen look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards the big tent.

Instead of being used as an ornament, it is better to go back to drinking and let them hit!

Liu Dai is physically and mentally exhausted, no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, Yanzhou is afraid that he will not be able to save it! If the coalition forces win, Yuan Shao will definitely take the opportunity to annex Yanzhou; If he is defeated, then Zhuang Shaoyou will definitely not let Liu Dai go, Yanzhou City is only more than 100 miles away from Puyang, and the buildings near the water will be killed first!
