Chapter 031: Arrows, Arrows!

Liang Yuzhou and Zhou Mi and other generals stood on the watchtower in the wall.

A soldier arrived and shouted, "King Qiqi, generals, they are attacking!" ”

Because the distance was a little far, Liang Yuzhou's eyes narrowed into a slit, and when he looked into the distance, the cavalry and infantry under Zhao Cong were advancing slowly in a neat formation.

The soldiers on the Wanfang Village looked into the distance in surprise, if they want to say that they are not afraid, it is for the ghosts, many of them are the first time to encounter the Ninth Division of the Cavalry, tall horses, in the dazzling sunlight, the iron armor scales are shining, full of oppression!

Liang Yuzhou saw the reaction of his soldiers, and said calmly to Zhou Mi: "It's up to you next, give them a little bit of strength first, let these soldiers see, these animals on horseback will also hurt!" ”

The gesture of carefully unfolding the preparation commanded the soldiers: "Strong crossbow team, stone throwing carts?" Preparation! ”

After hearing the order, the soldiers have put stones on the stone throwing truck, several people work together, pull up the strong crossbow together, with the strong crossbow makes a sound of "creaking", a strong crossbow slowly opens, some of the soldiers responsible for the loading of the arrow will be axe-sized arrowhead into the pre-prepared cow stomach bag, others will be the arrow stained with gold juice, and then put into the crossbow, after a while, a sharp crossbow is neatly aimed at the outside of the city.

The soldier on the lookout reported the distance loudly in an orderly manner: "Eight hundred paces...... 700 steps...... Six hundred steps ......"

A thoughtful order: "Strong crossbow, ready to launch." ”

As if sensing something, the enemy suddenly stopped, then divided into two teams and moved to both sides, and in the distance, Zhao Cong led the most elite cavalry to appear, and a huge smoke rose behind him.

The banner of the cavalry mixed with smoke passed over the infantry and blocked in front of the infantry, and the cavalry and smoke continued to flow later.

Liang Yuzhou saw at a glance that Zhao Cong was not a good stubble, he would not put eggs in a basket, staggered configuration, attack, retreat and defend, he asked worriedly: "You say, how many cavalry did you bring on the other side?" ”

Zhou Mi's eyebrows furrowed: "It seems to be pouring out of the nest, it's difficult." ”

Liang Yuzhou asked again: "He won't cheat, right, so many people are moving together in our direction?" ”

Zhou Mi glanced into the distance and did not speak, he also felt confused.

Liang Yuzhou knew that the most jealous general on the battlefield was hesitant, and he quickly made up his mind: "Regardless of whether the enemy in front of us is Zhao Cong's main force or not, we can't let them pass, this battle, this king must make them pay the price of blood!" ”

Zhou Mi turned his head, smiled knowingly, and then replied in a resolute voice: "Obey!" King! ”

Outside the wall, the horses and faces of the cavalry can be seen clearly, and thousands of 70,000 flags are approaching Wanfang Village with smoke and dust.

Suddenly, a soldier on the lookout reported: "Five hundred and fifty steps! ”

At Liang Yuzhou's signal, Zhou Mi issued an order: "Send a crossbow!" ”

A "whoosh" sound swept through the sky and shot into the billowing dust and smoke under the city.

The smoke and dust were not curbed too much, and they continued to approach the city desperately.

The watchman reported: "Four hundred paces...... 300 steps...... Two hundred steps...."

Zhou Mi gave another order: "Everyone is in place, throw stones!" ”

A heavy muffled sound swept through the air.

In the smoke and dust, the first wave of charging native soldiers did not have time to dodge, and even the men and horses fell one after another, letting out a mournful roar!

The snare drums in the village are still beating rhythmically, constantly encouraging the soldiers.

The first wave of the enemy's offensive was blocked and gradually dispersed.

"It's not good, this is just the enemy's spearhead, for temptation, everyone prepare quickly, don't let your guard down!"

Liang Yuzhou sighed: "No wonder Zhao Jiuyuan dares to hand over such a heavy task to him, Zhao Cong is worthy of his father's teachings!" Tell you, last time we used one-sixth of our crossbows, let's fire one-third of them this time. ”

"Yes!"

As expected!

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves outside the village, the shouting of killing, rushed towards the village.

Zhou Mi once again calmly ordered: "Ready!" ”

"Five hundred steps!"

"Put!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"

On the way of the Hun cavalry attack, round after round of arrow rain continued to harvest lives!

Apparently the Hun cavalry underestimated the power of the rain of arrows, which were like death scythes, and the stormy blows caused them to fall in rows.

Zhao Cong didn't expect that his first attack on the Liang camp would cause his troops to lose nearly 3,000 people!

In previous engagements, the disparity in numbers of this level and the gap between the two arms could be seen by anyone, and this was originally a battle that had already decided the outcome before it began!

However, the slap in the face did happen – what was expected to be a complete victory turned into a costly grappling.

As the commander-in-chief, his elite iron cavalry lost nearly 3,000 men in less than half an hour, just one wave of charge, which should have caused his own vigilance.

But the good courage in his bones suppressed reason, and seeing the three thousand soldiers bleeding out, Zhao Cong aroused an almost crazy fighting spirit.

Originally, according to the plan, he was going to divide his troops into three routes and prepare to reinforce Wusui.

The madness in his bones made him forcibly transfer reinforcements from the other two roads, plus the large and small stragglers nearby, forming an army of 70,000 in an instant!

The battle that followed was clearly far beyond the imagination of both sides!

The crazy Zhao Cong quickly launched the third death charge, this time Zhao Cong also deliberately arranged a heavy cavalry linkage on both wings - the frontal cavalry continued to charge, the cavalry waited for the opportunity to break through, and the flank heavy cavalry advanced with a crossbow, attacked the city and climbed the wall, and took the Wanfang Village!

It's just that Zhao Cong didn't expect Liang Yuzhou to prepare a bed crossbow for him, which was originally used to shoot into the city wall and let the soldiers step on the arrows to climb the city tower.

The same arrows rained down, but the heavy infantry on the flanks were able to walk sideways in the previous battles, and with the sound of more muffled arrows, arrows as big as sharp axes flew in.

The lucky soldier had one for himself, and the arrow pierced a large hole in his body, and he was swept away; The bad luck was that a few people were pierced into meat skewers by an arrow, and the heavy infantry, who was thinking of being invincible, was beaten to the heart!

On the frontal battlefield, it was still not optimistic, and compared with the last time, it lasted about a quarter of an hour.

The third Death Charge, once again declared defeat!

In the Xiongnu barracks, Zhao Cong was so anxious that he paced back and forth, he didn't expect that there would be such a general in Beiliang, who was not afraid of death, and he had a feeling of fear for the first time.

In Wanfang Village, Liang Yuzhou did not dare to relax at all, and the sergeants tightened their nerves!

However, something happened that no one expected, the situation between the enemy and us deteriorated rapidly, and Zhao Cong was also full of ambition to prepare for the fourth charge!
