Zhu Ling felt that his judgment should be correct.

Hebei is indeed no stranger to crossbows, and one of the three elite soldiers that Emperor Shizu relied on when he pacified the world was the Jizhou crossbow.

When General Yuan and Gongsun Zhan competed, there were two crossbowmen under his command.

After Prime Minister Cao Cheng took charge of Jizhou, he also inspected and reorganized the crossbowmen, and before Tongguan was able to break the two Han and Ma, the Jizhou crossbowmen also made achievements.

Zhu Ling himself was born in Jizhou, so he knew a lot about crossbowmen.

The results are now ......

Zhu Ling didn't give an order when he lost his mind, but the soldiers on the pontoon bridge watched General Lu Zhao fall into the river, so they tacitly retreated.

Seeing that the general who was still alive looked sad, the soldiers with the spirit tied the spear with an iron hook, and used the hook to fish up the body of Lu Zhao from the martial arts water.

Zhu Ling didn't look any further, and glanced at the other side of the river.

More than 1,000 crossbowmen of the opposite thief army lined up in three columns, and the crossbowmen at the front held crossbows against the pontoon bridge, waiting for the battle.

The thief army's main formation was not chaotic at all, and Zhu Ling didn't really see the confrontation over there, but he could clearly see that the retreat of this army formation was not slow or chaotic.

This team of crossbowmen must be broken, and the pursuing men and horses alone will never be able to snatch this ramp!

Zhu Ling instantly made a judgment in his heart.

So what's next...... It's execution.

Signaling the guards to come over and armor themselves, and at the same time methodically conveying orders:

"Let the long card pawns line up in front, and those who don't advance and retreat will be killed!"

"Take the long card, I will take the lead!"

After wearing the armor, Zhu Ling carefully tied his pocket, held a long card in his right hand, and held an iron hook inlay in his left hand, with a halberd at his waist, and stood at the pontoon bridge first.

As the order was delivered, the soldiers who were also holding long cards lined up behind Zhu Ling.

Looking sideways at the corpse of Lu Zhao, Zhu Ling didn't say anything, just simply struck the long card with an iron hook.

The iron hook inlay and the Mengtie long card collided, and the sound of the collision spread extremely far in this cold weather.

Some of the soldiers also began to tap their weapons, and the fear in their hearts seemed to be vented a little, and soon other soldiers joined in.

Du Xun rode on a high horse, and he could see everything that was happening in the south of Wugong Water clearly, and the sound of the weapon was also heard very clearly.

In fifteen breaths, Zhu Ling was knocked alone to a group of people together, and his voice changed from scattered to neat.

As a result, the previously depressed morale gradually eased, which made Du Xun very satisfied.

And when he looked to the side, he saw the rear of Zhu Ling's army array, and the soldiers were holding the ring-headed sword and watching coldly from the rear.

This made Du Xi's face soften:

"I heard that Zhu Wenbo commanded the army quite methodically, but now I can see it with my own eyes."

On the west bank of the martial arts water, Huo Jun was in a tight position, and he couldn't help but feel very tricky when he saw the general with armor on the opposite side stepping on the pontoon bridge with a long card.

When the other party rushed to the middle of the pontoon bridge, Huo Jun raised his hand:

"Put!"

The dense accumulation of crossbows was still a success, and Huo Jun saw that some crossbow arrows passed through the long cards, and the sound of the soldiers on the opposite side suffering came and went.

But that's not right......

Huo Jun looked slightly regretful.

After the polishing of Yizhou Hanzhong and many battles in this Wuzhang Plain, Huo Jun is no stranger to the battle array.

The dying did not have much strength for them to wail, and in the first few rounds they were either shot to death with a muffled sound or groaned a few times and then died.

Now this situation shows that this round of salvo has not done much.

Zhu Ling looked at the crossbow bolt on the long card in front of him and exhaled softly.

His long card is Wood Iron, and the entire crossbow bolt is stuck here when it penetrates half of it.

There's a play!

So Zhu Ling shouted loudly to boost morale:

"The thief's crossbow is weak, and he must overcome it if he holds a long card to protect him!"

As a result, the morale of Cao's army has rebounded slightly.

This sentence also reached Huo Jun's ears, and his response was very simple:

"Column up a five-pronged crossbow formation, shoot half a breath!"

This Zhijiang tribe immediately began to change formation, and some of the crossbow-wielding troops immediately withdrew to the rear of the line, and then abandoned the crossbows and joined the team as they had practiced beforehand.

One fifteen means that a crossbowman has five auxiliaries, and the crossbowman picks out the one who shoots the most accurately out of the six.

All the crossbowman has to do is pick up the crossbow, aim and shoot, drop the empty crossbow at his feet, and wait for the person behind him to hand him another crossbow with a good string in his hand, and the cycle repeats.

The five auxiliaries lined up behind him, with a clear division of labor, the empty crossbow was retrieved, the winch was loaded, the winch was wound, the winch was unloaded, the crossbow bolt was loaded, and then handed to the crossbowman.

And this idle shot is an instruction created by Huo Jun, which means that you can shoot at will.

So again, after Zhu Ling finished puffing up, Cao Jun suffered an even more fierce crossbow attack than before.

Almost every breath can be heard with the dull sound of a crossbow nailed to a long plate.

Occasionally, there are screams and the sound of falling water.

Therefore, Cao Jun's advance also became slower, and Zhu Ling's heart couldn't help but sink.

Before today, who would have thought that Liu Beijun would have such a strong crossbow?

Therefore, although there are long cards in the army, many of them are scribbled wooden long cards, such as the Mengtie long cards in his hand.

And now there are still more than a hundred steps in the face of thieves, and the wooden long card is not very useful.

If you get within fifty steps, I'm afraid that the Mengtie long card in your hand will not be pleased!

In an instant, Zhu Ling made up his mind, and after exchanging glances with a few pro-soldiers behind him, several pro-soldiers comprehended, and carefully moved to the front and also raised a long card.

Then several people took a deep breath and shouted together:

"Kill!"

The crossbow arrows are like locusts, and the long cards are like walls.

Push the wall and clear the way!

At this moment, relying on the tacit understanding with his own soldiers, Zhu Ling and a few others relied on the long card to rush nearly forty steps without losing.

But as expected, the closer they got to the crossbow array, the more powerful their crossbow bolts became, and as they charged, they quickly became the focus of the crossbows, and at this distance, Zhu Ling also heard the order of the opponent's leader:

"The left part of the middle is shooting, and the right part is shooting as usual!"

Mortar ...... It's supposed to be a pressure shot, right? Zhu Ling's mind was spinning with cranky thoughts, but his footsteps still didn't stop.

At eighty paces, some of the five pro-soldiers were snorted by the arrow, but they still forcibly advanced together.

At sixty paces, two of his own soldiers had already been shot over, and the defense of the long card was no longer thorough.

At forty paces, the three pro-soldiers, who were already crumbling, took the initiative to break away from the formation and rushed in front to open the way, and Zhu Ling's eyes turned red in an instant.

Ten steps closer in this way, Zhu Ling already had a vague idea in his mind:

Just rush again! Approaching the side of the person who gave the order, seeing that his figure is by no means a fierce general, as long as the enemy is saved, then there is a possibility of breaking the game!

But what made Zhu Ling desperate was that the person who gave the order did not hurry to raise a larger crossbow, aimed at him, and then pulled the engine to expand.

This arrow at such a distance made Zhu Ling's scalp feel numb, and under the control of the instinct of the physical crisis, he instinctively rolled on the spot to avoid this arrow.

survived, but Zhu Ling did not have the slightest joy in his heart, and was even a little annoyed.

This roll interrupted the momentum of courage, and the opposite side had already eased up, even if it crossed this distance, I am afraid that the other party would not be able to riot.

And he could hear it, and the shouting and cheering soldiers behind him were also silent, and they should have seen him fall and thought he had been hit by an arrow.

Even if he found out that he was okay at this time, he ...... Courage is gone.

Huo Jun could see the other party's intentions clearly, so he scolded:

"Believe in the bird, you drop evil!"

"Do you still want to emulate General Guan and take your father's head?"

Someone behind him handed over the loaded crossbow, and Huo Jun aimed at an arrow again, but unfortunately this time he still didn't make any achievements, but only shot through the opponent's arm.

But seeing that Cao will roll again and pick up a long card from the ground and carry it behind him, he fled straight back.

So the subordinates on Huo Jun's side all shouted for a while, shouting for this short-lived victory.

Du Xi sighed regretfully at the height, he could see that Zhu Ling had done his best.

In the face of the crossbow array, if you can break the formation, you can't really strangle these more than 1,000 people to this point, but if you can find out that the other party has this crossbowman, it will not be a loss.

Otherwise, if the other party pretends to retreat to lure him into marching, and then ambushes the crossbowmen high in the sloping valley, and then shoots a salvo at the same time when Cao's army is shortlisted, I am afraid that the loss will be much more than at this time.

There are strong crossbows, and there are more iron-clad long cards, and Du Xi did not forget to command:

"Call two doctors to check on General Zhu's injuries."

"Summons the order to General Zhang, so that he cannot be pursued deeply."

Du Zheng could see that with Zhu Ling's defeat and retreat, this offensive no longer posed a threat, and Zhang Ji, who was pursuing, was tied up, lest he be attacked by crossbowmen to disturb the flanks.

Even so, it is better to simply withdraw the troops, Du Xun is very open-minded.

The left and right are just dead and recruit one person, more than 100 soldiers, and a little damage will be exchanged for the thief army's strong crossbow, which shows that the skills are exhausted.

The advantage is mine!

So after a while, Du Xian faced Zhang who was not in good color, and he still had the leisure to enlighten:

"Why should Dejong care? The victory or defeat of this battle is not in Guanzhong, and the victory or defeat in Guanzhong is not here. ”

"Although this sloping pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is martial arts water outside, and we are waiting to build a camp at the sloping pass, and it is difficult for them to come out."

"When I came, General Xiahou said that I only need to drive away the thief army and order it not to enter the customs."

Since it was the general of Guanzhong who explained it like this, Zhang Ji could only nod and put the matter aside:

"Then please set up camp here to ward off the thief army."

Du Xun shook his head:

"This matter does not bother De Rong, General Zhu was injured in the arm, and he happened to build a camp here to recuperate."

"We still have to move forward, and it is best to seize the plank road of the old road."

Zhang Ji was a little confused like this:

"We are going to attack Liu Bei, such a chain of praise and old roads, can't we only recruit Yongliang Ma Chao...... I get it! ”

Zhang has been in Sanfu for a long time, so he subconsciously thought that there were only these two ways in the customs, but if he said Yongliang, he suddenly remembered that there was a Qishan Road over there.

Although it is remote, it is said that there is no plank road in the whole process, and it is feasible for the army, and it is the safest way.

Du Xun nodded, his face pale:

"Now that there is Wudi rice, there is abundant grain and grass, and it is time to lock the pass and force Yongliang to force Qishan, so that the thief army is too busy to take care of itself."

Zhang Ji nodded, did not comment on this, but just asked the pioneer to enter the old way first, and Du Xi naturally agreed.

And Liu Bei did feel too busy to take care of himself.

After entering Hanzhong, what he saw was the people watching from the road.

As for the reason, for the people of Hanzhong, the story of this land four hundred years ago still seems like yesterday.

Now this place has ushered in the descendants of Emperor Gao's surname Liu, and there are thieves outside to occupy the Central Plains, this situation feels very familiar no matter how you look at it.

So there were many old people in Hanzhong who pointed at Liu Bei, and said conclusively that Uncle Liu's appearance was carved out of the same mold as Emperor Gao, as if he had really seen Liu Bang with his own eyes.

Not to mention that there are still many people in Hanzhong who have escaped from Guanzhong, and Sanfu has had enough of the ravages since Dong Zhuo's turmoil.

Now looking at this Uncle Liu Huang, many people in Guanzhong have a passionate fantasy in their hearts, so someone simply shouted:

"Can Uncle Huang take me home?"

This loud question made the place silent for a while, and then many people looked over:

Although Hanzhong is good, after all, their ancestors have been from Guanzhong for generations.

Liu Bei felt the familiar pressure, but now he was also confident that he could easily provoke this pressure, so he also laughed and said:

"This trip is to return the three Qins and return to Chang'an in the north!"

So the atmosphere here became more and more enthusiastic.

And in the crowd, Kong Ming came out lightly, and grabbed the hands of Fa Zheng who didn't know how to be good:

"Where is Jiang Wei? Filial piety leads the way quickly. ”

Fa Zheng looked at the lord in the crowd with his eyes, and the meaning couldn't be simpler, so Kong Ming smiled:

"It's okay here, the lord is quite good at this, I'll wait and go."

Since Zhuge had said so, and the soldiers who came here with the lord were also guarding the surroundings, Fa Zheng nodded and led the way first.

However, after taking two steps, he stopped and remembered something:

"Little Jiang Wei shouldn't have finished class at this time, Kong Ming is here, there is a strange person I want you to meet."

Although the weather is cold now, Kong Ming's fan is still fanning fast, so as to suppress the restlessness in his heart, but he is still a little curious when he hears Fa Zheng say this:

"Inhuman?"

Fa Zheng nodded, led the way in front but changed directions, and said at the same time:

"Before the Cao army attacked the fortified position last year, the people of Guanzhong fled in fear of the name of Cao thief."

"At that time, we had already gained a foothold in Hanzhong, and Zhang Lubei fled north and called the lord a thief to steal Hanzhong, which made the people of Hanzhong quite dependent."

Speaking of this, Kong Ming was also a little happy:

"I've heard it all in Yizhou, and now Cao Thief is still hesitant about how to deal with Zhang Lu."

After all, Zhang Lu who lost Hanzhong is not of much value, and he still has the identity of the Five Dou Mi Sect, which is quite embarrassing.

Fa Zheng nodded, turned into a small path and continued:

"At that time, Shiyuan and I spent the land reclamation, and the land that was separated from the people of Guanzhong, and then there were military craftsmen to guide and build a water power workshop to benefit the people."

So Kong Ming's curiosity was hooked:

"Inhumans have something to do with engineering?"

Crossing the path is the edge of the Han River, Kong Ming saw a person squatting in front of the water workshop, there was a small wooden round car in front of him was very delicate, this person skillfully turned his hands, and in an instant the round car model was disassembled, and then began to reassemble it step by step, and stopped halfway to ponder, as if he had encountered some problem.

Fa Zheng introduced sideways:

"He and I are fellow villagers, and his relatives say that he is mentally stupid and has a disease of eating in his early years."

"However, I thought that he was quite accomplished in engineering, so I led Kong Ming to see him."

Kong Ming's face was full of surprise, and he took the initiative to greet him and squatted next to him, looked at the model carefully, and then pointed to a joint and said:

"A gear can be added here and meshed laterally, which can not only add an additional moving shaft, but also reduce the loss of wood parts."

"Are you struggling with this?"

Kong Ming is talking about the revision of the last year's round car, and Jingzhou has always been new about it.

The young man nodded violently, looked at Kong Ming and took the initiative to say:

"I am Fufeng Ma's, my name is Deheng, what do you call it?"

Recently, I have to have meetings every day, and my state is a little worse, so I will try to adjust tomorrow, sorry, sorry. This chapter is still counted as number 14.
