Bianzhou City is the largest city within a radius of more than 100 miles, and the scale of the city is second only to Luoyang.
At the same time, it is also an ancient city that has been weathered by history and the smoke of war, with the Yellow River at its back, facing the mountains, and the plains of the river in front of the city.
The scorching red sun hung high in the sky, and it was close to noon, and the temperature skyrocketed, and the weather became a little hot.
With a heavy squeak, the heavy and huge gate of Bianzhou City slowly opened open, and a group of fierce soldiers rushed out of the city with a shout, rushing towards the rebel camp as if they were dead.
Not far away, in the rebel camp, in fact, the rebels led by Huang Tao have been in formation for a long time, seeing that the Xi people opened the city gate and put on a desperate posture to try to break through, Huang Tao straddled the horse and smiled coldly, the spear in his hand was raised high, and shouted: "Give me a rush to kill the Xi people and annihilate them on the spot, no one will be left."
The rebels roared viciously and poured out of the camp like a tidal wave, and soon scattered and surrounded the groups of Xi soldiers who had rushed out, like sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and were swallowed up in an instant.
But at the same time, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard behind their own camp, and the earth shook and roared.
Several scouts galloped in and reported to Huang Tao that Kong Sheng's main army had approached Bianzhou City in an attempt to rescue the Xi people.
Huang Tao did not panic, a grim smile appeared on his resolute face, he waved his hand resolutely, and ordered half of the military horses to turn around on the spot, spear outward, and form a formation to prepare to meet the enemy.
Huang Tao came completely prepared.
Since he designed to enter the Xi people, it is impossible not to consider that there are also reinforcements from Kong Sheng.
This time, he united with the surrounding defenders a total of more than 50,000 people, in Huang Tao's view, killing 20,000 Xi soldiers is enough, as long as the remaining 30,000 people can resist the impact of Kong Sheng's army for an hour, when he annihilates Xi soldiers and leads the army back, he will be able to defeat Kong Sheng's army and horses in front of Bianzhou City.
Su Wu saw her clansmen fall under the butcher's knives of the rebels one by one, and her heart was like a knife.
Her heart swelled with endless remorse and monstrous hatred, she had long forgotten and put everything behind, she rushed to kill, the spear in her hand spurted left and right, as if she had entered a no-man's land.
Everywhere she went, the rebels screamed and died, and soon she had the idea of the rebel general.
More than 100 rebel soldiers shouted to surround Su Wutuan, although Su Wu is strong in martial arts, but after all, she is a woman, and her strength cannot last long.
Seeing that the princess was in danger, He Lu roared angrily, brandished a spear and rushed over regardless of his personal life and death.
And behind him, many Xi soldiers were sad and angry, covered in blood, and their spears were roaring, and they also came to the rescue of Su Wu.
After the rebel formation.
Kong Sheng's main army was galloping and roaring, and it was approaching.
The herald behind Kong Sheng waved the military flag, and the three-way formation gradually closed in the gallop, and the formation was not chaotic at all, forming a huge sharp knife phalanx.
The smoke and dust rolled up the yellow dragon and was blown away by the wind.
Kong Sheng turned his head to look at his army formation on his horse, and a trace of satisfaction flashed between his eyebrows.
Nangong Wang is really a good hand at training, under his leading drills, the Xia Yi army is well-disciplined and well-trained, especially in the ability to change formations and form formations to fight, which is much higher than that of ordinary officers and soldiers.
All the soldiers of the Xiayi army have distinct armor, all of them have solemn faces, and they are golden and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like tigers.
Kong Sheng's expression was excited, and he slowly turned his head to look at the rebel enemy formation more than a thousand meters away on the opposite side.
The rebels had apparently been in battle for a long time, and the iron spears formed were in a strange formation, lined up in a straight line, and the spears were as sharp as rain, shining in the sun, forming a solid and unbreakable steel defense.
The real war can't be like in the movie, thousands of troops rush up together, that is definitely looking for death.
The first is to form a formation, and then the team rushes and kills, attacking and defending each other.
In the ancient army, the division of troops was very strict, when and which part of the people went first, this is very reasonable, and there is no chaos.
The first drum sounds, the crossbow archer goes up first, the crossbow archer moves forward, when he is one hundred and fifty steps away from the enemy, he releases the arrow, the crossbow has a long range of weapons, so it can exert its power after one hundred and fifty steps, then continue to move forward, fire as he goes, when he is still sixty steps away from the enemy, the crossbowman does not stop, continue to shoot, at the same time, the archer appears, the archer relies on the bow, and there is no long range of the crossbow, so when it comes to sixty steps, the archer is powerful, and he also attacks and walks, When there were still twenty steps left with the enemy, whether it was a crossbowman or an archer, no one should shoot, and if they shot again, they would have to meet each other, what should they do at such a close distance, they each put away their bows and crossbows, and as soon as the formation was dispersed, the infantry behind them rushed up at this time.
This is the traditional mode of operation.
Therefore, in Huang Tao's rebel formation, the spearmen in the front form a formation to resist the impact, and in the middle is the shield bearer holding his shield high, forming a "protective screen" that covers the arrow feathers under black pressure.
Once they dodge the opponent's crossbow attack, the spearmen in front spread out and charge from both sides, and the last cavalry unit with the strongest combat effectiveness rushed out of the formation, acting as the main force for frontal killing.
Huang Tao has boarded the cloud car and focused his attention on the main force of the official army.
But Huang Tao didn't hear the sound of marching war drums from the official formation.
Although he had some doubts, he was happy to see it, the more the officers and troops delayed, the more beneficial it was for him, and the Xi soldiers here gradually fell into the overall decline, and in another hour, it would not be a problem to be completely killed, annihilated or defeated.
Kong Sheng waved his hand on his horse.
Nan Yong rushed out of the middle of the formation, and thousands of soldiers in charge of logistics support rushed up from the rear end with strange bags or wooden equipment, and in an instant, they appeared behind the entire official and military formation, and they began to be nervously busy in a group of ten people, lined up in a long line.
Not to mention the rebels, it is the Xiayi army in their own formation, most people don't know what this group of people is going to do.
The soldiers only knew that this was the Shenji Battalion led by Kong Sheng himself, with a total of 3,000 people, and was led by Nan Yong.
The camp of the Shenji Camp is the most mysterious place in Xiayi, and ordinary people are not invited to enter, and they are heavily guarded.
If it weren't for the battle array, I'm afraid no one would know what kind of troops Kong Sheng had created.
Nan Yong held two pennants in his hands.
The white flag was raised high, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in a group of ten people began to assemble in unison, because of the countless trainings in peacetime, so the movements of the soldiers were fast and skillful, and after a while, the equipment of the medium-sized appearance that was different from the ordinary catapult appeared in everyone's field of vision.

In fact, this is the catapult that is commonly used in the army, which has been modified by Kong Sheng.
The structure of the catapult is not complicated, but it uses a huge lever, the long end is a leather holster or a wooden basket loaded with stones, and the short end is tied with dozens of ropes, when the order is given, several people pull the rope at the same time, and use the principle of the lever to throw the stones.
If there is enough time and resources, Kong Sheng feels that he can also research various firearms for use in battle formations in advance, like many traversers, but according to the current conditions, it is simply a fool's dream to build artillery in a short time.
Therefore, Kong Sheng adopted the most stupid and effective method, the general's standard catapult to improve the technology, gathered the suggestions of many craftsmen, and designed the large catapult that was inconvenient to transport into a medium-sized catapult that could be disassembled and assembled, and all kinds of original parts and components were linked with rivets or ropes, assembled on the spot during the war, disassembled after the war, and stored according to the number, so that the soldiers could carry it with them. oshow7 t1706231537:
