Chapter 214 Bastards, Shoot Slowly
Lu Bu was so powerful that he came with an army of 110,000 infantry and cavalry. It could be said that the mountains collapsed and the earth shattered.
Many Jin army officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel a little timid when seeing such a spectacular scene.
However, his own general, Yao Guangxiao, who was the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, not only did not have the slightest worry at this time, but was in the mood to joke with everyone here.
Seeing that the generals were so calm and calm made the soldiers below completely relax, as if the enemy in front of them was just a chicken and a dog that could be defeated in a single battle.
In front of the camp, Wei Yan and Huang Xu led the sword and shield soldiers and were deployed at the front of the camp. Cheng Yaojin and Wang Bodang led the spearmen and were behind Wei Yan, ready to respond to Wei Yan at any time.
Huang Zhong and Hua Rong, leading the crossbowmen, were at the rear, suppressing the enemy with long-range firepower.
The three-layer layout, plus many traps, antlers and horses on the outside, work together to form an iron wall of defense. It must be someone who is well versed in the art of war to lay out such a perfect defensive formation.
Not far away, when Zhang Liao saw the Jin army's camp, he had already taken precautions. The Jin army officers and soldiers were ready to go. Various traps and 15 soldiers and horses were perfectly arranged, as if they were planning to defend to the death. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"The Jin army's formations are closely coordinated and their military discipline is strict. They still show no signs of loosening up and causing confusion in the face of my army of over 100,000 people.
"Then Ying Xi dared to use Yao Guangxiao, a frail monk, to lead the army. There must be something unusual about him. 11
Hearing Zhang Liao's sigh, Lu Bu didn't take it seriously at all.
"He is just a thief monk. What ability can he have to resist this general's army?"
"My general has 110,000 troops and horses. If he can deal with the Jin army in front of him, he would be able to tear it to pieces without even catching it.
After sneering, Lu Bu calmed down, his face filled with strong fighting spirit, and he waved the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, with murderous intent everywhere.
"Where are Zhang Liao, Guo Si and Cao Xing!"
"The end is here!"
Zhang Liao, Guo Si, and Cao Xing rushed forward on their horses and responded with their hands raised.
"Zhang Liao and Guo Si each led 20,000 infantry troops to attack from the left and right flanks and destroy the enemy's camp.
"Cao Xing led 10,000 crossbowmen to the rear, suppressed fire, and coordinated the attacking army from the front. w
"promise!"
Zhang Liao and Guo Si galloped directly to several armies to mobilize their troops.
Woo woo woo...
The horn of war has sounded. Under the leadership of Zhang Liao and Guo Si, the 40,000 Han army officers and soldiers clenched their weapons at this time, with unusually cold eyes.
Infinite murderous intent emerged from those cold cheeks.
The horns were blown round after round. When the third round of horns was blown to the most exciting moment, Zhang Liao waved his sword forward: "Brothers, follow me, Zhang Liao, to attack. Let the Jin army on the opposite side know the strength of our Han army." What’s great.”
Amidst the roar, Zhang Liao personally led 20,000 Han soldiers and advanced forward.
"My sons of Xiliang, let us also let the Jin army on the opposite side see the glorious moment when our Xiliang soldiers are invincible. Charge me."
As Guo Si shouted loudly, the Xiliang soldiers moved forward slowly, advancing step by step towards the Jin army's camp.
Behind them, Cao Xing led 10,000 crossbowmen, also following the footsteps of Zhang Liao and others, reaching the predetermined shooting range.
Facing the menacing attack of Lu Bu's army, the Jin army soldiers had already made preparations for defense.
According to past practice, first use the crossbowmen to suppress the enemy with long-range firepower.
The crossbowmen of the Jin army are equipped with the latest version of the Yuanrong repeating crossbow developed by the Jin Academy of Sciences.
These Yuanrong serial crossbows include hand crossbows and large bed crossbows.
Not only can it fire continuously, the effective range is also nearly twenty steps longer than an ordinary crossbow.
Don't underestimate the distance of twenty steps. Just twenty steps can allow the Jin army soldiers to take the lead and launch their bows and arrows first to achieve the purpose of suppressing firepower and deterring the enemy.
Lu Bu's army had just approached the shooting range of the Jin army's crossbowmen, and was greeted by the Jin army's crossbows.
As a whooshing sound sounded, countless crossbow arrows rose into the sky, and then fell down a large area.
The enemy soldiers in the front row had basically suffered all casualties, and bursts of wailing could be heard throughout the sky.
The Jin army's crossbowmen used different shooting methods.
The crossbowmen in the first row used a horizontal shooting method, which was to force the shield bearers in the front row of Lu Bu's army to raise their shields for defense. When he placed the huge shield at the front, the crossbowmen at the rear took advantage of the opportunity and launched their arrows.
The Jin army's arrows were overwhelming, coming in from diagonally above, and constantly greeting Lu Bu's army.
At that time, the bed crossbow was launched, and the huge feather arrows, carrying an indomitable impact, shot straight through the shield in front of Lu Bu's army, knocking down a large number of them one after another.
Just three rounds of shooting in different ways took away nearly 4,000 lives of Lu Bu's army.
"You little bastards, why are you shooting arrows so hard? If you keep shooting like this, a large number of enemies will be shot down before they reach our formation."
"Slow down and shoot to the side. Don't kill all these enemies."
Seeing his soldiers working so hard, Yao Guangxiao not only showed no joy, but frowned and began to reprimand his soldiers.
Huang Zhong was speechless. He couldn't cum too fast or too accurately. He didn't know what the thief monk in front of him was thinking.
He even had the urge to shoot an arrow at the black monk who didn't know how to fight and commanded blindly.
"Master Prime Minister, aren't we trying to stop Lu Bu's army from attacking? Why did you give such an order?
Huang Zhong naturally did not dare to attack Yao Guangxiao, or even get angry, so he had to rely on Xunzi to ask the reason.
"Nonsense, Lu Bu only sent 40,000 troops here. If they are all shot to death by you all at once, the other party will run away when they see the strength of our Jin army."
"What else can the great monk do? He saved Lu Bu and his army of more than 100,000 people.
Huang Zhong seemed to understand Yao Guangxiao's good intentions, so he gritted his teeth and ordered his soldiers to shoot at will.
Soon, thousands of arrows rose into the sky again, overwhelmingly shooting at Lu Bu's army.
This time the arrows were scattered.
Even though the Jin army soldiers were shooting with their eyes closed, Lu Bu's army was too dense. Tens of thousands of troops were deployed on the plain, and they still killed seven to eight hundred enemy troops. .
