The 30,000 Western Regions Coalition Army took 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and the follow-up infantry lined up in a phalanx and pressed up towards the Shu army step by step.

Under the gloomy sky, the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield was so oppressive that it made people want to go crazy.

"Enough distance! Shoot the arrows! Ma Tan gave a thumbs up, visually measured the distance at the enemy vanguard, and immediately ordered.

"Plenty of arrows, just take them! Let this group of traitors from the Western Regions know how powerful our Han is powerful! ”

After receiving Ma Tan's order, the Shu army quickly began to change formations. The crossbowman took the place of the shield man at the front of the line, while the archer raised his bow in the center.

The crossbowmen lined up in front of the formation, aimed at the Western Regions cavalry coming at full speed, and pulled the trigger. A row of crossbow arrows shot out in unison, shooting at the enemy in front of them.

Crossbowmen have a lower frequency and range than archers. But his high lethality and accuracy against cavalry were unmatched by archers.

A round of crossbow arrows shot out flat, and the Western Regions Iron Cavalry at the front was suddenly shot down by Qi Brush. Countless cavalrymen were directly shot into a sieve by high-density crossbow arrows, and fell to the ground.

However, the cavalry behind was not affected much in the slightest, only slowed down a little, and quickly stepped on the corpses of the soldiers in front of them and continued to press forward.

But in just a few breaths, a second round of crossbow bolts came at you.

At this moment, Shu Han's latest armed Zhuge Repeater officially showed its might. The cavalry of the Western Regions, which came from the frontal impact, encountered a head-on attack and was directly stunned.

While some would argue that a weapon of destruction such as a repeater is too cruel, we call it efficient.

However, in the end, the regular army of the Western Regions, which had been trained by Sima Yi for many years, did not stop under the combined fire of bows and arrows and crossbows.

After some commotion, the Western Regions coalition forces quickly adjusted their formation, and the cavalry dispersed and replaced them with infantry arching forward with shields in hand.

"It seems that this alone will not be able to force them back." Ma Yan narrowed his eyes and clenched the hilt of his sword in his hand.

"A vicious battle is still inevitable."

Although the Shu army has strong crossbows and bows and arrows, it is only 5,000 people in the final analysis. In the face of 30,000 people pressing up in an orderly manner, it was still impossible to completely stop it after all.

When the army rushed to about a hundred paces, the Shu army's formation changed again. The crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the shield-bearer pikemen went into battle and began to fend the enemy head-on.

I have to say that the Shu army may be the best army in this era.

Because of the lack of cavalry at the beginning, Zhuge Liang vigorously advocated the training of military formations. Basically, every soldier who participated in the Northern Expedition needed to run in the military formation for a long time.

However, the effect is significant, when the enemy army is killed, the Shu army can also change the military formation very calmly. Moreover, he can smoothly set up the military formation before engaging the enemy.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

The soldiers on both sides finally met, and the sound of fighting resounded on the battlefield in an instant.

The soldiers and horses of the Western Regions Coalition Army relied on their own large number of soldiers, and directly used the phalanx to force the front of the Shu army. The soldiers in front of the Shu army repelled it with shields, and spears poked out from between the shields to kill the enemy.

Fierce fighting was fierce on a small battlefield between the two sides, and the soldiers on both sides tried their best to cut their weapons at the enemy. Blood splattered, and in an instant, the ground was covered with bloody corpses.

The military formations of the two sides interacted, and the range of engagement began to expand rapidly.

Because of the disadvantage of the troops, the forward front of the Shu army began to be forced back. The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped up and took over the sword and shield hands to fight with the soldiers of the Western Regions.

The scope of the battlefield soon expanded to the position where Ma Jian was, and at this time Yao Hu began to get nervous.

"General! You'd better go to the Chinese army, it's too dangerous here. Yao Hu followed behind Ma Tan and admonished with some worry as he did in the street pavilion.

After all, Ma Tan is the commander of the three armies, and if something happens to him, the morale of the Shu army will be in danger.

"Dangerous fart! If I weren't here, would we, the 5,000 men, be able to withstand the onslaught of 30,000 heads-on! Ma Tan snorted coldly, pulled out his sword highly, and said in a resolute tone.

"As a general, only by going to the front line, fighting side by side with the soldiers, and fighting bloodily, can we boost morale and defeat the enemy!"

Ma Tan was fearless at this time, and he dared to be the commander of the three armed forces to be at the forefront to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, if Heavenly Dao could really let him die so easily, he wouldn't be alive now.

The Shu army is now small in numbers, and it is necessary to dispatch all forces to resist at the right time, and it is the time when morale needs to be boosted. If Ma Tan retreats at this time, I am afraid that the Shu army front will soon be unable to withstand it.

Therefore, Ma Jian did not retreat but advanced, and when Yao Hu did not have time to stop him, he drew his sword and rushed forward with his personal guards.

When Ma Tan's military flag appeared on the front line, when Ma Tan's two-eyed armor appeared, the morale of the Shu army was boosted.

"The auxiliary general is here!"

"The general fights side by side with us!"

"Fight for the Great Han!"

These soldiers who are fighting bloody battles are all from Yizhou, and in fact they don't know much about Ma Yan. However, when a world-famous leader personally kills the enemy with you, everyone will be inspired.

And it seems that this leader is more energetic than you.

Ma Tan drew his sword and burst into the battlefield, like a catfish burrowing into a loach pit. As long as he faced his soldiers in the Western Regions, he would be directly knocked down in less than three rounds.

After all, Ma Tan is also a scholar after all, and the scholars and doctors of this era all believe in ram Confucianism.

If you don't agree with each other, you will pick up a knife and fight it, and you will not be reasonable at all.

Although in the melee, Ma Jian also quickly hung the lottery, but he didn't care at all.

Kill and you're done!

Ma Tan personally came to the battlefield and fought bloodily with the soldiers, successfully allowing the Shu army to withstand the full impact of the Western Regions Alliance Army in the front.

Outside the battlefield, the iron cavalry on both sides of the Shu army also appeared on both sides of the Western Regions Alliance Army like ghosts.

The Western Regions Coalition Army has many soldiers, and the infantry has always pressed up in a phalanx. And its cavalry was unfavorable in the initial battle, and did not provide cover on both sides of the infantry phalanx, giving the Shu army's iron cavalry a chance.

"Children in the Western Regions, can you know Tianshui Jiang Boyu?" Jiang Wei personally wore a strong and stubborn one, and led two thousand cavalry to suddenly kill from the left flank, stabbing into the Chinese army of soldiers and horses in the Western Regions like a scimitar.

"Traitor in the Western Regions, I am the Han general Shu Jiye!" Shu Ji also led the troops to kill from the side, echoing Jiang Weiyao.

The iron cavalry of the Shu army on both sides suddenly broke in, causing the Chinese army of the Western Regions Alliance Army to suddenly become in an uproar, and the commander of the army was even more panicked.

Where did this Shu cavalry come from, how should this be handled?

Sima Thorn Shi didn't teach us either!

"The enemy general will leave, watch me Jiang Boyu take the head of the master!" Jiang Wei rushed in and saw the enemy's banner is a sudden rush.

Shu Ji was originally faster than Jiang Weichong, but after seeing Jiang Wei's eagerness to make meritorious contributions, the former Dongqiang leader who had learned to be sophisticated in human feelings slowed down very wisely.

In the case of Shu Ji's intention to give in, Jiang Wei was unstoppable and rushed all the way to the enemy's banner.

"Take your life!"

Tomorrow's last exam, after the exam, there will be no test in Shu, and then start the journey of repaying debts

By the way, how many chapters does Shu owe?
