"court death!"
One man fights tooth and nail and ten thousand men cannot stop him. Although this statement is obviously an exaggeration, there is some truth in it. No, Gao Lan had originally pinned Xia Zhao down and beat him, but he never expected that this beast was struggling to its death. Under this situation, an extremely powerful force burst out, which not only reversed the decline, but also suppressed Gao Lan in turn. As soon as this situation occurred, Gao Lan, who had always been extremely high-spirited, became angry. Come on, Gao Lan is also starting to risk his life. Each shot of the stainless steel spear in his hand is heavier and harder than the last. It is as violent as a storm. In three moves and two moves, he regains the advantage of being the first mover. .
"Whoosh!"
Xia Zhao's martial arts skills were not as good as Gao Lan's. The reason why he was able to gain the upper hand in a short period of time was because of all his efforts. But when Gao Lan was desperate, Xia Zhao's three-blade ax was obviously not good enough. How could he dare to compete with Gao Lan again? After attacking the general with one move after another, he took advantage of the gap in the hedging of the round and twisted the horse's head urgently to flee back to the formation. However, Lu Kuang, who never thought of killing Zuo Heng with an arrow, never returned to the formation. He was waiting to give Xia Zhao a hard blow. When Xia Zhao and Gao Lan were having a bloody battle before, Lu Kuang was reluctant to make a move. But now that Xia Zhao is about to escape, Lu Kuang doesn't have so many taboos anymore. He unceremoniously drew his bow in a round shape and shot an arrow at Xia Zhao's vest.
"ah……"
Lu Kuang's archery skills were already extremely strong, and suddenly he shot him with such an arrow. Poor Xia Zhao was only paying attention to Gao Lan's pursuit. He didn't expect that Lu Kuang would come from the side and make such an insidious move. How could he get out of the way? , was shot through the back of the heart on the spot, and with a miserable howl, he followed in Zuo Heng's footsteps.
"Damn it, stabbed in the back, despicable, come on, beat the drums, move the ballista forward, all three armies move together, attack me, attack!"
The result of the three generals' action was that all three generals were destroyed. Guo Yuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. When he heard the Youzhou Army soldiers on the opposite side cheering and applauding, he could no longer suppress the madness in his heart. The anger surged up, and regardless of the fact that the morale of his own troops had been severely damaged, he roared like thunder and issued the order to attack.
"Dong, dong dong..."
As Guo Yuan's order was issued, dozens of large drums lined up in a row at the Bingzhou Army's Central Military Office began to rumble, and soon a large number of Bingzhou Army soldiers were seen pushing nearly a hundred field ballistas. In order to slowly press forward, at the same time, the three armies on the left, center and right were also ready to attack.
"I'm so anxious that I'm jumping over the wall. Hey, pass on the order and prepare the long-range troops to destroy the enemy's ballista first!"
The accuracy of the ballista is not good. If it is used to attack specific targets, the hit rate is really not very high. If it can be used to attack densely arranged military formations, its lethality cannot be underestimated. In this regard, Gongsun Ming He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, so he immediately issued a targeted general order.
"Every trebuchet position is ready, load the incendiary bombs, light them, and fire them!"
The Youzhou Army also attaches great importance to various field combat and siege equipment, but the focus is on trebuchets. As for the ballistae, which is too expensive to build and not very practical, it is only equipped with more than ten of them. There is no doubt that if it were a crossbow chariot battle, the Youzhou Army would not be able to take any advantage at all. Zhao Meng, the general of Huben Zhonglang who is responsible for commanding the long-range troops, would not do such stupid things and would not do anything at the first opportunity. He hesitated and took out his own ace weapon, the incendiary bomb.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Following Zhao Meng's order, more than ten counterweight trebuchets and more than 150 human-towed medium-sized trebuchets began to roar almost at the same time, smashing a total of two hundred burning tanks of different models. The ground hit the Bingzhou Army's ballista position that was undergoing intense debugging. Even after bursts of fire exploded, the alcohol splashing in the west quickly ignited a large number of ballistas, and many Bingzhou Army officers and soldiers were also fired. After being hit by the first incendiary canister, it burned into a human-shaped torch in an instant. The screams were loud and the entire Bingzhou Army's ballista position became a mess.
"Hiss... ballista, counterattack, counterattack quickly!"
When the Youzhou Army's trebuchets threw out those pots of fire, Guo Yuan didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw the power of those incendiary bombs being so amazing, he couldn't help but take a breath.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With Guo Yuan's order, the remaining sixty or so crossbow chariots of the Bingzhou Army began to roar, and the sound was quite loud. It was a pity that they had been so destroyed by the incendiary bombs of the Youzhou Army, and all the Bingzhou crossbow chariot soldiers Most of them were so frightened that their hands and feet were trembling. More than half of the crossbows had not been calibrated at all. The crossbow arrows that were shot randomly were naturally not accurate. They either shot too close or flew into the sky. But there were also dozens of them that plunged heavily into the Youzhou Army's archer troops, instantly plowing bloody roads. No less than a hundred archers were shot into pieces of meat flying in the sky by huge crossbow arrows. , even though the officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army were well-trained, a commotion inevitably broke out for a while.
"Cavalry assault!"
"Follow me and defeat the enemy!"
"Assault, assault!"
Seeing that the attack of their own ballistae was effective, the Bingzhou Army immediately threw all three cavalry armies into the attack without hesitation. In an instant, the nine thousand cavalry were divided into three cone-shaped assault formations and quickly charged towards the Youzhou Army. The formation rushed over, and a large number of Bingzhou infantry troops followed closely behind. With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses moving together, the momentum was earth-shattering.
"Balista, release!"
The Bingzhou Army and other cavalry troops fell into battle. The infantry's cover-up tactics were too old-fashioned and had no brilliance at all. Zhao Meng naturally disapproved of this, but when he saw him shaking his head indifferently, he waved the small weapon in his hand with all his strength. Red flag, in an instant, more than ten crossbows of the Youzhou Army roared, and more than ten huge arrows roared towards the surging infantry and cavalry of the Bingzhou Army. Although there were only three points One of them was shot too high and never hit the target. Instead, it flew into the air. But the other two-thirds hit the infantry and cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, causing a burst of miserable howls. Even so, it was unable to contain the momentum of the fierce charge of Bingzhou Buqi.
"We have all the archers, shoot in sixty-five steps!"
Seeing the Bingzhou Army rushing in with all their might, the three Youzhou Army generals did not dare to be careless and issued the same general order almost at the same time.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
In addition to long-range troops such as trebuchets, there were also a large number of archers in front of the Youzhou Army's formation. As the commanders of the three armies issued orders, the archers immediately loosened their fingers on the strings. In an instant, Suddenly, more than ten thousand eagle-feathered arrows rose up from the formation like locusts, roaring towards the three-way Bingzhou Cavalry formation that was charging at high speed...
