The fierce sound of hoofbeats from the galloping war horses brought up gusts of cold wind. The two sides were fifty steps apart, and Chen Wu, who had been standing quietly in front of the formation, finally started to move. It's like using an invisible big hand to kick off the battle.
The 10,000 new recruits from the trapped camp who were standing silently behind Chen Wu separated neatly to both sides. A row of prepared sword and shield wielders appeared in front of Dian Wei, and a contemptuous sneer appeared in the corner of Dian Wei's tough mouth.
"Ha! These Jiangnan Army recruits are so confused. Are the sword and shield men better at dealing with heavy armored cavalry than the spearmen? New recruits are new recruits! Regardless of what kind of arms you change into, I will not mind sending you on your way!
Even if you send out crossbowmen, it will be a dead end! No matter how powerful the crossbows of your Jiangnan Army are, they can still handle the lightly armored leopard cavalry. Do you still want to shoot through the heavy steel armor on the Tiger Cavalry? Hum! "
Before the proud thoughts in Dianwei's heart dissipated, several rows of sword and shield wielders suddenly crouched on the ground in uniform as if they heard some order. Behind them, what was revealed was a row of hundreds of scattering crossbows that had already been cocked.
Each crossbow, which is half a man's height, is equipped with ten crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm. They are densely arranged on the bed of crossbows, and the top of each crossbow arrow is a huge black arrow like a small shovel.
Before the frightened Dian Wei could react, a breathtaking buzzing sound suddenly sounded. Those huge crossbows, one at a time, began to scatter towards the heavy armored cavalry of Cao's army in front.
Because the arrows fired are distributed in a fan shape, only half of the crossbow is fired. It has completely covered the entire front of the battlefield.
The galloping war horses collided with the giant arrows shot at them, and the armors on the tiger riders and horses could block ordinary crossbows. When faced with the more powerful arrows fired by the bed crossbow, it was like paper, torn apart and penetrated in an instant.
The huge sharp arrowhead was like a shovel piercing into the soft mud, directly scooping out a large piece of flesh and blood from the body of the person or horse. Some arrows at just the right angle even cut off half of the entire horse's head, not to mention the relatively more fragile human body.
Under Dian Wei's order, two thousand tiger riders spread out in a line, forming several charge formations for an all-out attack. Just in time for the scattering crossbow to cause maximum damage, the entire formation instantly felt like being hit head-on by a huge shovel.
After blood and flesh flew everywhere, almost all the men and horses rushing in the front row were shot and fell to the ground. The bodies of the men and horses that suddenly fell became the most effective obstacle for the horses that followed and were almost exhausted. Countless tiger riders were not hit by arrows, but were tripped to the ground by their comrades.
Even if someone wants to rely on his riding skills, he can lift the reins and jump up, or he can stop the war horse. However, because the horse was severely out of power and its movements were deformed, the fall became even more severe. In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with men and horses rolling into a ball, injured and screaming with broken muscles and bones.
Dian Wei, who was still standing, opened his already huge eyes angrily. He still wanted to advance towards the enemy's formation, but the war horse beneath him completely failed to respond to his master's orders. Several thick crossbow arrows fired at one another almost penetrated the strong body of the war horse.
Dian Wei, who was on horseback, was also shot through by two crossbow arrows. His body was much stronger than that of ordinary people. There was also a crossbow arrow that penetrated the horse's neck and then pierced his lower abdomen, truly connecting him with the war horse.
Facing the violent rain of arrows just now, Dian Wei only had time to throw out the two halberds in his hands. He shot down two crossbow arrows flying toward him from the front. He didn't even have time to pull out the five small halberds on his back to defend himself before he was shot through his body by the crossbow arrows that flew towards him in an instant.
The crossbow arrows fired by the bed crossbows were too dense, and the powerful force of the mechanical launch was simply beyond the power of men and horses to withstand.
At this moment, blood began to ooze from the corner of Dian Wei's mouth, which was ferocious-looking, but he still yelled and cursed wildly at the Jiangnan Army thirty steps away: "Nonai's Jiangnan Army, you are despicable and shameless bastards. They actually used a bed crossbow to assassinate me. Will!
Even if I die, I will never rest in peace! My tiger cavalry will not let you despicable people go! "
"However, the Jiangnan Army recruits who have undergone rigorous training will not stop their movements just because of the roar of this strong man who is already covered in blood. In the hearts of the soldiers trained by Chen Wu, military orders must come first in everything at this time.
As for the strong man opposite who was still yelling like a madman, it was just a howl before death. As for who he is and how much influence he will have on Cao Jun and the entire war situation, I am afraid that no one will know except the generals who received the reports from the scouts. No one wants to know.
In the face of ruthless and powerful mechanical power, Dian Wei, the so-called enemy of ten thousand people, is just an enemy that is difficult to shoot.
But even if he can barely do it nowThe first round of shooting was fired, but what about the second and third rounds of shooting that followed?
The new recruits in the trapped camp still followed the usual training, methodically and swiftly and skillfully, loading arrows into the crossbows that had been fired in the first round.
The batch of bed crossbows that were not fired were slightly adjusted at an angle. Aiming at Cao Jun who fell into a pile, in order to cause maximum damage to the enemy. The second round of shooting began again without mercy. Then came the third and fourth rounds.
As the powerful crossbow arrows flew in one after another, the tiger cavalry array was hit hard and looked chaotic and miserable. Large pieces of flesh were torn apart by sharp and powerful crossbow arrows. Countless limbs were cut off by crossbow arrows from the bodies of the men and horses still blocking the front.
After the second round, the third round, and the last round of arrow rain, the two thousand elite tiger riders could no longer see a complete body. Dian Wei, who had been shouting and cursing just now, was left with only a big head still rolling on the ground.
A pair of eyes full of reluctance stared at the bed crossbows that sent him to meet his eldest son. With those Jiangnan soldiers who were still busy behind the crossbows.
????????????????????????????? In the eyes of the tiger that gradually became lifeless, in addition to anger, there seemed to be a trace of helplessness and nostalgia. He seemed to be thinking of his newborn son, or he finally understood that he could no longer watch his child grow up.
The shooting of the four-wheeled crossbow defeated all the elite tiger cavalry of Cao's army, and the recruits in the trapped camp who went out for the first time cheered in unison.
As the commander, Chen Wu remained unmoved. He had already tested his bed crossbow many times, and he knew the performance of the bed crossbow very well, so he expected such a result.
Even if you wear the latest armor of the Jiangnan Army, you can barely prevent arrows from being shot through. I am afraid that I will be shocked to death by the powerful power contained in this arrow. What's more, the soldiers of Cao's army wore only iron battle armor made by ordinary craftsmen.
The news that the military god Dian Wei and the Huqi army were destroyed hit Cao Cao, who had just woken up, another heavy blow. He was in a daze, and he only had time to shout out: "Capture Shu County! Avenge Jun Ming and other soldiers!"
A severe headache struck, and Cao Cao, who was exhausted mentally and physically, fainted again. He left the problem of attacking Shu County to his eldest son Cao Ang. Although he felt helpless, his father had a fate, so Cao Ang could only bite the bullet and act according to Cao Cao's previous plan.
The battle to attack Shu County began immediately when most of Cao's army arrived. After winning the battle, Jiangnan Army had already withdrawn into the city. Behind Cao's army attacking the city, Cao Ang personally directed the guards to restrain the scattered and mutilated limbs of the two thousand tiger cavalry soldiers.
With the sad morale of revenge for the military god, tens of thousands of Cao's troops rushed to the gate of Shu County and launched an overwhelming attack non-stop. However, the Shuxian soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, were not afraid of being attacked by several times more enemies.
Qiao Rui and others, who were very satisfied with Chen Wu's performance, had more confidence in the Jiangnan Army's powerful equipment. The generals are also elite veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are naturally familiar with such battle scenes.
Each is responsible for guarding a city wall, using the trebuchets and crossbows scattered all over the city. And the soldiers guarding the upper city were equipped with a repeating crossbow. Shuxian, a city with not very tall walls, was defended like a weatherproof iron barrel.
Ren Cao¡¯s soldiers fought with blood all afternoon without risking their lives until the sun set. Except for the thousands of corpses of soldiers who died in battle left outside the city, no one could even climb on the city wall.
Facing the rain of arrows and boulders that the Jiangnan Army scattered outside the city for free. No matter how strong the soldiers are, they feel scared. Even the God of War was shot into pieces. Who else is stronger than the God of War and can withstand the powerful arrows of Jiangnan Army.
Anyone with such thoughts has already fallen under the city wall. Waiting for tomorrow morning, the comrades are collecting their bodies for them!
After the crazy offensive subsided, Cao Jun, who withdrew his troops back to the camp, began to have fierce disputes. Although Cao Cao, who was the most capable of making decisions, was in the camp, he was still unconscious. No one even knows whether this generation of heroes can wake up and lead Cao's army to victory again.
As a veteran of Cao's army, although Cao Cao no longer repeatedly contradicts his Xun. However, during this expedition, Xun was still asked to stay in Juancheng with Xiahou. Responsible for the logistics and defense of the entire army.
Firstly, because there are insufficient manpower, and secondly, we don¡¯t want those old people to feel cold-hearted. And Xia Hou, who only has one eye left, will find it difficult to fight. But this brother who can change his life and stay behind is the most reliable candidate for Cao Cao!
In this battle, the army was accompanied by counselors such as Cheng Yu, Xu You, Xun You and Man Chong, as well as all other generals, big and small, who could fight. After all, this is a battle that affects the overall situation, and Cao Cao has to put all his strength into it.
?????????????????No one thought that the war had not officially started yet. Dian Wei, the most powerful among the generals, was unexpectedly shot to death by random arrows, leaving the lord unconscious.
"In addition to the all-out attack for several hours in one afternoon, except for the loss of a large number of soldiers' lives, there was no progress at all. The entire Cao camp has fallen into a heavy atmosphere.
The soldiers all understood that the current situation was already in danger, but no one dared to tell the truth first!
