"Woo woo" The desolate horn sounded in the sky, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun Pegasus came out of the battle and welcomed Liu Xie back into the formation, and the soldiers of the Han army under the command of generals at all levels quickly lined up in formation and slowly advanced towards the Jizhou army. 180,000 against the enemy was less than 120,000, and in terms of numbers, Yuan Shao won steadily.
The archers of both sides approached slowly, and when they approached the place of an arrow, they stopped almost simultaneously at the command of the generals of both sides, and quickly bent their bows and arrows, pointing at the sky at an oblique angle.
"It's so dazzling" a famous Yuan Jun archer has just posed, at this moment of time, at this angle to pull the bow, the line of sight is facing the sun in the sky, many people are affected by the sun, lost judgment, and even some people subconsciously want to wipe their eyes, before the general order, there have been a lot of arrows out of the sky, crookedly landed in the open space in front of the Han army.
"What's going on, who gave the order" Yuan Shao couldn't help but be furious when he saw this.
"Release the arrow" Just when Yuan Shao was angry, in the Han army on the opposite side, Huang Zhong had already sneered and gave the order to release the arrow, the archers of the Han army were equipped with the latest strong bows, although they were not as powerful as the crossbow arrows of the Divine Crossbow Battalion, but the range was ten steps farther than the previous standard bows and arrows It doesn't sound like much, but at this moment, the power that erupted can definitely make Yuan Shao's heart drip blood, just when the archers of the Yuan army were directly exposed to the sunlight and couldn't see things clearly, the sight suddenly darkened, and the sunlight was covered by something, without waiting for these archers to rejoice, the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun had fallen, and in an instant, the screams were endless, and a piece of Yuan army archers fell to the ground.
"The sword and shield hand stepped forward to protect the archers" Yuan Shao looked at the tragic situation in front of him, his eyes were split, and he couldn't think about why his archers were suddenly unwell at this moment.
Tian Feng raised his head, the dazzling sunlight made him a little uncomfortable, and then reacted, and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, it is the strategy of the Son of Heaven, he deliberately delays time, waits for the sun to turn west, and turns his back to the Han army, but the soldiers of our army have to face the sun, and their vision must be uncomfortable, so they will be taken advantage of by the enemy, and the range of the enemy's bow and arrow seems to be much farther than the range of our army's bow and arrow." ” "Damn" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and looked at the archers who fell in front of him, just in this round, Yuan Jun lost at least thousands of excellent archers, and immediately shouted: "The shield man protects the archers and advances twenty steps, give me a counterattack" Tian Feng opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak, at this time, Liu Xie had already taken the lead, and he rushed forward, and he would only mess up, but the military order had been issued, and if he persuaded him at this moment, it would only make the army more chaotic, he had already lost the lead, and his morale had been hit to a certain extent.
"Shields come forward, protect the archers" Seeing that the enemy army began to advance, Liu Xie smiled slightly, Yuan Shao's heart had been tossed by him, and now he was in a hurry to start the war, although the impact of the line of sight could not be fatal, but in a battle of 100,000 units, even if it was only a percentage of the probability impact, it would be a lot, at least the first opportunity had been taken by Liu Xie for this reason plus the advantage of range.
In the sound of the whimpering horn, a Ming Han army shield stepped forward with a big shield in his hand, these shieldmen did not abandon anything else, only a big shield, is a professional shield, but this shield is different from the general shield, up to one zhang, the edge is a canine tooth collision, there is a certain attack power, and the thickness of the shield is not comparable to ordinary shields, wrapped in cowhide, ordinary swords are difficult to hurt, want to break the shield, the effect of blunt weapons is better than sharp weapons, but unfortunately in this era, most of the army is to use swords, guns, swords and halberds as weapons, and there are few special blunt weapon troops, It's not easy to break your shield now.
The superiority in weapons is also a key factor affecting the battlefield, and the shield soldier seems to be useless, but in fact it is the key to affecting the outcome of the war, and the first step to make one's own side invincible.
Sharp arrow clusters continue to fall from the sky, even with the protection of the shield, it is impossible to guarantee that the enemy's arrow rain will be blocked, Yuan Shao found that the range is not as good as the other party, he decisively ordered the archers to follow the sword and shield hand to move forward, the arrow clusters of the two sides continue to meet in the air, and then fall in the camp of both sides, from time to time there are unlucky soldiers who are killed by the arrow clusters that fall from the sky, but if the casualties are really calculated, the damage of the Yuan army soldiers is at least fifty percent more than that of the Han army, up to a zhang of strong shield, The killing range of the enemy archers was greatly reduced, and on the Yuan army's side, the round shield with a radius of only three feet undoubtedly exposed a much larger shooting area.
"Rush" After the two sides approached a distance of fifty paces, the general of the Yuan army gave an order, and the Yuan army began to charge.
"Shield array, stand" The Han army generals did not charge, one big shield slammed into the ground, the dog-toothed edge, stabbed into the ground fiercely, so that this shield seemed to take root, and the spearmen who followed the climate pierced out one by one from the gap between the shield arrays, and the cold spear blades converged into a dense jungle of death.
"Bang Bang Bang" A famous sword and shield hand slammed into the tall shield with a dull sound.
The shield formation of the Han army did not move at all, but many sword and shield hands screamed and slammed into the spear on the edge of the shield under the push of the soldiers in the rear, and their entire bodies were pierced.
"The human wall is killed" A general saw that it was difficult to shake the opponent's shield array, and immediately shouted.
The Yuan saber and shield hand who had been in front of him immediately raised the shield above the top and carried it on his shoulder, and the sword and shield hand in the rear stepped on the shield, stepped on the shield and jumped up, and the shield in his hand pressed on the canine-like edge above the Han army's big shield.
The spearmen in the rear did not have time to withdraw their weapons, and they were slashed by the opponent.
The shield in the back row of "killing" suddenly pulled up, followed by one side, and the spearmen hiding behind the shield quickly grabbed it, and stabbed the Yuan saber shield hand who jumped over with one shot, and then quickly retreated behind the shield.
More sword and shield men and even spearmen crossed over from the shield, the shield bearers in the front row and the spearmen under the protection of the shield were constantly killed, but the spearmen who followed from behind were also constantly assassinating the Yuan soldiers who jumped the shield, the sound of the fight was accompanied by a terrible scream, resounding on the battlefield, the archers on both sides kept pouring arrows at each other, the battle line gradually opened, stretching for more than ten miles, the entire white horse seemed to be covered by the breath of blood, and life became humble like grass mustard at this moment.
"Are you ready" Liu Xie, who stood on the high platform, looked at the battlefield expressionlessly, whether it was the casualties of the enemy army or his own army, he could not make the slightest wave in his heart, at this moment, he was not only the emperor, but also the commander of the three armies, those soldiers who died in the war He was distressed, but in the war, how could there be no immortals, as the commander, what he had to do was to minimize the number of casualties in the overall situation, rather than focusing on one-sided gains and losses, at this time, the life of the entire battlefield was just a game of chess in his eyes, and in order to win the final victory, it was necessary to abandon the son.
"It's already been done, just wait for His Majesty's order" Seeing the battle situation in front of him, Liu Bei bowed and said.
"Then let's show it out" Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and waved the flag in his hand.
"Woo woo" In the sound of three long and one short horns, the whole battlefield suddenly changed, the archers of the Han army quickly retreated, and at the same time, a large section of shield players in the front row also quickly retreated, and the shield players who stayed on both sides quickly filled the vacancy, blocking the empty space left on both sides of the retreating shield players, on the battlefield, it was difficult to feel anything, but looking from the high platform, I saw that the entire front of the Han army suddenly recessed, and a large area of the battle line was sunken down, but there was no chaos, and the Yuan army naturally followed up with the retreat of the shield hand.
This was a very dangerous move, and if there was any mistake, the retreat would become a rout, and at the same time, in the rear of the Han army, a miniature catapult less than one zhang long, less than three feet wide, and no more than two feet high was pushed out, and there were as many as fifty of them.
Liu Bei bowed down and said: "These trebuchets have been tried, the power is not as good as the catapult, and the range is only sixty steps, but the accuracy and firing frequency are far beyond the normal catapult, and you can fire three stone bullets in tea time, but the weight of the stone bullet is not high, and it can only project five catties of stone bullets, no matter how heavy it is, the range will be reduced, and the accuracy will also have a huge deviation." ” "Five catties is enough, debug it immediately, the target is there" Liu Xie pointed to the empty space that was sunken in with the Han army's shield hand, which had been occupied by a large number of Yuan troops at the moment, and was frantically attacking the shield array, and because of the continuous retreat, the shield array inevitably had some chaos, and at this moment, under the crazy attack of the Yuan army, there were signs of collapse.
"Huh" Liu Bei agreed, turned around and waved the command flag at the rear of the Han army.
"Crunch" In a burst of screeching sounds, fifty trebuchets were quickly pushed to the battlefield under the impetus of the wrestlers, and the piercing sound of wood rubbing was covered by the sound of fighting on the battlefield, and Yuan Jun naturally couldn't hear anything from such a distance.
These miniature trebuchets are no bulkier than catapults, and they are boosted by wooden wheels underneath them, and although they are not as fast as normal armies, they are not slow, otherwise they would not have been transported to the front with the army.
In the middle of Yuan's army, watching the sudden retreat of the Han army, Tian Feng had already sensed that something was wrong, although he knew that it was not suitable to affect Yuan Shao's judgment at this time, but he still suggested: "My lord, the enemy army suddenly retreated, there must be a plan, be careful." ” Yuan Shao frowned and nodded, he was not a fool, naturally he didn't think that the sudden retreat of the Han army would be because of the pressure of the Yuan army, but why he retreated, he couldn't say, at this moment he could only order the generals at all levels to be careful, and at this moment, there was a sudden burst of anger in the air, and the two hurriedly looked over, and their eyes couldn't help but widen. t1706231537:
