More than 20 huge humanoid arrow targets lined up in a straight line two hundred steps away from the school martial arts field.
Twenty crossbowmen here were neatly lined up in ten rows, all with solemn expressions, holding a large yellow crossbow in their hands, squinting one eye, aiming at the opposite side.
The ancients were extremely brave in a hundred steps, but it was a bow and arrow, not a crossbow, and a big yellow crossbow of more than five stones was enough to shoot two hundred steps away.
These twenty crossbowmen are all elite marksmen in the Hebei army.
Yuan Shao sat on the high platform in the middle of the school martial arts field, looked at the twenty fierce crossbow archers with satisfaction, and gently took out a command arrow from the order arrow in front of the case, threw it high under the stage, and threw it down.
The herald took the arrow and shouted "start".
I saw those crossbow archers raise their crossbow arrows, press the reeds, and shoot dozens of arrows at the arrow target, and the arrows are like meteors, and they shoot on the arrow target.
Twenty crossbow arrows, seven or eight out of ten were on the target.
Ho ho The Hebei military headquarters who were watching from the audience applauded loudly, and the cheers were like thunder.
The cavalry strengthened the crossbow, which was the weapon of the Youzhou army to win, so that even though the Hebei army was several times the strength of the enemy, it was still invincible and bullied.
Now with these strong crossbows, not only can offset the power of the enemy's crossbow arrows, but also the crossbow arrows have always been the nemesis of the cavalry, and the historical white horse Yicong fell in the hands of the Hebei army's first camp.
While everyone on the stage was still in astonishment, dozens of soldiers rushed over and hung another piece of fish-scale iron armor on each arrow target.
Twenty skilled crossbowmen had already loaded their crossbow arrows and moved forward one after another, walking fifty paces away from the target.
He began to half-crouch on the ground, holding the crossbow with both hands.
Aim at the bullseye with the crosshair and press the spring to fire.
A crossbow bolt came out.
Go straight to the scale iron armor on the target.
Puff puff With the crossbow arrows like meteors, the fish scales and iron armor on the arrow target were shot through What a strong crossbow You must know that the fish scale iron armor has been equipped by high-ranking officers in this era, and now this five-stone rhubarb crossbow has even shot through the fish scale iron armor, even if Bai Ma Yicong is brave and brave, he can only be shot into a hedgehog.
The cheers around them rose again, like a landslide cracking the ground.
Yuan Shao, who was on the stage, also stood up excitedly and applauded: "I have this strong crossbow, why not be afraid of the cavalry of Gongsun Bai thief."
The generals beside him were also excited.
Qi Qi congratulated Yuan Shao.
Tian Feng behind Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile, you must know that he has worked hard for this big yellow crossbow.
At this time, the frustrated man beside him laughed and said: "With this strong crossbow, plus one thing, Gongsun Bai's cavalry will no longer have an advantage." ” Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, but when he heard this and this, Yuan Shao laughed and his arrogance increased.
"Good.
Officials from all over the country were ordered to prepare grain and grass immediately, and after one month at the latest, they could go out on an expedition and sweep through Youzhou."
Just when Yuan Shao was preparing to continue the Northern Expedition.
Gongsun Bai took the lead in sending troops.
With the backing of Liaodong, the northern cang, and Gongsun Bai's soldiers and horses were not many, he didn't worry about the lack of grain and grass at all.
A big war can be launched at any time, unlike Cao Cao and other princes who often fight and have to wait for the wheat to be cut.
In fact, grain and grass are consumed the most.
The least cost-effective is the Montenegrin Army, so Gongsun Bai drove back the 100,000 Montenegrin Army and the State Army.
After compensating the old man for millions of grains and grass, he let him return to Montenegro and restore his identity as a mountain people.
The entire land of Youzhou, including Liaoxi and Liaodong, together with the defenders in various places, has less than 100,000 soldiers, and the grain and grass needed to feed these soldiers and horses are only half of the surplus grain of the 150,000 Tuntian soldiers in Liaodong, even if you add the migrant workers who transport grain and grass, it is more than enough.
Therefore, even if Gongsun Bai fights from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, he does not have to worry about the problem of grain and grass, the only problem is that the transportation of grain and grass from the land of Liaodong has to pass through Yiwulu Mountain, which is extremely inconvenient, and the time spent in the mountains accounts for more than half of the time spent on transporting grain.
So this time, Gongsun Bai ordered Tian Yu to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to stick to the north bank of Yishui, not allowing Yuan Shao to take the opportunity to cross Yishui to the north, and on the other hand, he ordered Tian Kai, Shan Jing and Guan Jing and others to continue to hold on to the west and southwest of Youzhou, and he led his army to cross the east of Yishui, and joined Zhang He of Wen'an City, preparing to go south to attack Bohai County, so that Bohai and Liaodong could be connected by boat, saving the pain of transportation.
The occupation of the Bohai Bay is not only of military significance, but also of great economic significance, so that Bohai and Youzhou can accelerate economic exchanges and promote the development of the two places through the passage of ships.
Wuyan's 8,000 elite cavalry has long been returned, and now Gongsun Bai has a total of 18,000 cavalry, including 5,000 white horse righteous servants, 8,000 Moyun cavalry, 5,000 Bingzhou elite cavalry, plus more than 20,000 Taiping troops under Zhang He, a total of 40,000 people.
In the war with the Xianbei, Wuhuan and Goguryeo people, Gongsun Bai captured a large number of seven-foot horses, these seven-foot horses are not suitable for war horses in Gongsun Bai's opinion, they can only be used as pack horses, so there are thousands of pack horses in the baggage camp of the Taiping army, so the speed of the Taiping army is also very fast, and it can travel seventy or eighty miles a day.
However, in a dozen days, 40,000 Gongsun troops had already marched to Dongping Shucheng, a place adjacent to Bohai County and Hejian State.
Catapults, wells, ladders, siege vehicles, Gongsun army not only marched extremely fast, but also the siege equipment was extremely sophisticated, and the five thousand defenders of Dongping Shucheng only held out for three days before the city was broken.
Yuan Shao, who got the information, urgently ordered Wen Chou, Gao Gan and Fu Yu to lead an army of 80,000 as the vanguard army to the Bohai Sea to rescue.
He led an army of 150,000 and escorted grain and grass behind.
The battle of the Central Plains affected the whole body.
Just when Gongsun Bai and Yuan Shao were about to fight, Cao Cao also fought with Yuan Shang of Qingzhou and Lü Bu of Xuzhou.

This time, it was the two armies that attacked Yanzhou together.
Many people in Jizhou secretly fled to the north and ran to Youzhou, and the people of Qingzhou tried their best to cross the sea to Liaodong.
Bohai County, in the territory of Fuyang County.
Under the bright sunshine, the banner is rolling, the dust is flying, an army of tens of thousands of people slowly comes from the north, surging to the south, in the army, a big flag embroidered with the word "Gongsun" flutters high in the wind.
More than 10,000 elite horses rode in front, more than 20,000 foot soldiers in the back, and thousands of horses pulling horses and baggage followed, which was Gongsun Bai's southern expeditionary army.
In just over half a month, he had captured the northern part of Bohai County, and captured Zhangwu City a few days ago, and now as long as he broke Fuyang City, he would attack the territory of Nanpi.
Gongsun Bai, who was under the banner, sat on the back of the Flying Blood Divine Horse, took out a wine bag and drank a few sips of wine to quench his thirst, and his face was full of pride.
Once the Bohai County is captured, the entire Bohai Bay will belong to his Gongsun Bai, so that Liaodong and the Central Plains will no longer be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the boats will be connected, and it will only take a few days to reach Liaodong from the Bohai Sea, and even the Korean Peninsula is not very far, so it can better control the entire Korean Peninsula.
A scout Pegasus galloped over, crossed the heavy sentry guards, ran to the white horse of Gongsun, and said urgently: "Lord Qi, Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou, led an army of 100,000 from the south, and it is already twenty miles away."
Gongsun Bai's expression froze, thoughtful.
Tai Shici beside him said suspiciously: "Our army is a fine horseman, unparalleled in the world, Yuan Shao's 100,000 army, there is no need to worry, if it is a head-on confrontation, it can be broken."
Guo Jia also looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the enemy army is prepared, otherwise it will meet them head-on."
Gongsun Bai's heart moved, and he asked the scout: "Among the enemy army, there are cavalry?"
The scout replied: "There are only four or five thousand cavalrymen, called the cavalry battalion, which is commanded by high-ranking cadres, and the rest are foot soldiers. ” Gongsun Bai waved his hand and said, "Continue to investigate" The scout answered his promise.
Fifteen miles Ten miles Five miles The two armies are getting closer and closer, and a grand head-to-head confrontation is inevitable, and neither side seems to have their opponents in their eyes.
Finally, the dense Hebei army appeared in the sky, surging northward like a tide.
Wen Chou's army has arrived Gongsun Bai's eyes froze, and he hissed and roared: "Rectify the queue and prepare to meet the enemy" The handsome flags danced, and countless flags rolled like waves, passing on the orders layer by layer.
All the Gongsun Jun became excited, and while quickly reorganizing the queue, their eyes were staring at the opposite side tightly, murderous. 40,000 against 100,000, of which nearly 20,000 were fine cavalry, and Gongsun Jun really didn't take the opponent in his eyes.
It's time for another great achievement The Hebei army on the opposite side also gradually approached two miles away from the Youzhou army, and then slowly stopped and began to reorganize the queue.
The two sides are actually preparing for a huge offensive battle on this vast Jizhou Plain, which completely relies on strength Hold a big grass When did the Hebei army become so confident that it dared to go head-to-head with the Youzhou army, which had nearly 20,000 cavalry Gongsun Bai's face became unnatural, and Guo Jia on the side also looked uncertain, with doubts in his eyes, but the cavalry behind him showed bloodthirsty and eager eyes.
According to the past practice, this battle must be without suspense, nearly 20,000 cavalry rushed forward, first a yellow crossbow, then a few rounds of Zhuge crossbows, then a crossbow, and then a rush with a sword, not everything will be done "Lord, give the order to rush, can you let Mo Yunqi rush first this time" Tai Shici asked softly.
"The flying wolf rides a new stand, you should let the flying wolf ride first to rush to the little white face, don't fight for Lao Tzu," Guan Hai said angrily.
Flying wolf cavalry, is the name of the 5,000 Bingzhou elite cavalry, after the last big break and the state army, nearly 20,000 war horses were captured, so the 5,000 Bingzhou cavalry everyone straddled the horses of more than seven feet five, and then with the high bridge saddle, double stirrups, horseshoe, although the use of white horse Yi from the retirement of the fried steel long knife, it can be regarded as extremely elite.
Before there was a suitable general for the time being, the Flying Wolf Cavalry was commanded by the cavalry commander Guan Hai.
Gongsun Bai looked at the Hebei army on the opposite side, which had already quickly lined up, and felt a strange aura for the first time.
