    Seeing Ao Lie raise the Overlord Spear, the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty raised their weapons above their heads for the third time. After a brief pause in the air, they pointed at the Wei army's battle formation at an angle, and their murderous atmosphere became even more intense.  Rich.  Lu Bu, who was at the forefront of the Han army's formation, coldly slashed Fang Tian's painted halberd forward into the void, and shouted: "Long Xiang belongs to us, charge into the formation!" Before he could say a word, red lightning flashed across the battlefield, and red lightning flashed across the battlefield.  The rabbit horse has already carried Lu Bu and rushed out to kill. Amidst the excited neighing of the red rabbit horse, the 20,000 Dragon Horse heavy riders shouted in unison: "Long Xiang belongs to us, if we advance or retreat! Kill -" The horses' hooves clank, the armor  Rugged.  The Longxiang heavy cavalry quickly adjusted their formation behind Lu Bu. While maintaining the same formation as their comrades behind them, they also made some subtle changes. Using Lu Bu as an arrow, they formed a formation connected to the Five Elements Formation.  But the front arrow formation can fight independently.  Longxiang Heavy Cavalry is known as the world's best heavy cavalry, and it is not for nothing. When riding the horse to kill, it is like a steel dragon from ancient times, showing its ferocious claws towards the enemy on the opposite side.  The 80,000 hooves of the horses they sat on flew up and down, bringing up bursts of smoke and dust, forming an earth dragon in the air, echoing the giant steel dragon on the ground.  Lu Bu's charge immediately caused Ma Chao and Gan Ning on both wings to make changes.  Ma Chao waved the tiger-headed golden spear and shouted angrily at the formation on the left side of the Wei army: "Hu Ben belongs to me, follow me and kill him!" The 20,000 Tiger Ben warriors were already impatient, and at the same time, they pointed the blade of the saber at the enemy.  Aiming at the direction where the tip of Ma Chao's spear was pointing, Gan Ning let out a powerful cry from his chest: "The power of the tiger and its warriors, whether alive or dead! Kill -" Gan Ning had the same reaction as Ma Chao at almost the same time.  He slammed the sky-high halberds in his hands against each other, making a crisp "clang" sound, and then raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Qilin belongs to you, destroy the enemy!" The 20,000 Qilin elites behind Gan Ning seemed to be  In order to show the world their proficiency in water and land warfare, they roared with all their strength: "With the courage of the unicorn, I am invincible! Kill¡ª¡ª" The soldiers and horses in the front, left and right battle formations have all done it  Out of action.  The veteran Huang Zhong will naturally not be idle. His gray beard moves automatically in the wind, and his calm and powerful momentum suddenly rises to its peak. The red blood knife in his hand is fiercely chopped down from the air, but his old voice carries the tone of never surrendering to his old age.  The artistic conception was conveyed to the ears of the 20,000 crossbow gunners behind him: "Show a skirmish line and launch. Fire across the board!" The 20,000 crossbow gunners immediately followed Huang Zhong's order, divided into two teams and took action.  The team with a small number of people began to adjust the ballistic settings of the red ballistae according to Huang Zhong's instructions, and finally fixed the launch trajectory of the red ballistae at a 45-degree angle; the team with a large number of people quickly moved toward  The tip of the red crossbow gun was loaded with a powerful crossbow. After completing the filling, they also used mechanical power to pull the crossbow string of the red crossbow gun together.  The extremely tensile crossbow strings made bursts of tooth-breaking crunching sounds.  As the central army and the command center, Ao Lie also made changes based on the actions of the surrounding battle formations.  However, he had no intention of throwing the Chinese army into battle immediately. He just instigated Zhaoye Snow Dragon Colt to advance forward at a certain speed, always keeping in step with the battle formations in the four directions.  Therefore, Baizhan Xuesha led by Zhao Yun did not shout their unique war cry, but remained silent.  He followed Ao Lie step by step.  However, the swords in their hands have already revealed their sharp edges, and they are ready to join the battle at any time.  At the forefront of the Wei army's battle formation was Wei army general Xiahou Dun. He had fought against Ao Lie's troops many times and was familiar with the fighting style of the Northern Han soldiers. When he heard the sound of the red crossbow string being pulled apart,  After that, Xiahou Dun immediately turned around and shouted loudly to his men behind him: "Spread out! Maintain formation! Raise your shield! Charge!" The Wei army officers and soldiers who were originally standing densely behind Xiahou Dun.  They immediately evacuated without destroying the battle formation, widening the original gap between them from rubbing shoulders to two steps apart. At the same time, they stepped away and launched an attack on the Long Xiang heavy cavalry led by Lu Bu, and  During the impact, he raised the heavy shield in his hand.  Evacuation can reduce the area covered by the red ballista; raise the shield.  It can form the most direct protection for the Wei army officers; charging can shorten the distance, so that the powerful crossbow fired by the red ballistae loses its effective target; maintaining the formation is to get close to Longxiang's heavy cavalry and launch the first wave of offensive.  Be prepared.  Xiahou Dun's orders were both defensive and offensive.  Combining offense and defense, and commanding well, he is worthy of being the leading general in the Wei army.  However, the facts ultimately exceeded Xiahou Dun's expectations.  Because the first wave of targets Huang Zhong wanted to attack were not Xiahou Dun's troops, but Cao Xiu's troops arrayed behind Xiahou Dun.  Why does Ao Lie ask Huang Zhong to command the crossbow gunners every time there is a war?  This is not unreasonable.  First, Huang Zhong has superb shooting skills and can use actions to indicate the targets for the crossbow gunners, making the purpose of the mission clearer in the minds of the crossbow gunners; bothHuang Zhong has been on the battlefield for decades. This experience is extremely valuable. He can make the most accurate judgments based on the situation on the battlefield.  At present, Huang Zhong is using his own experience to change the direction of the crossbow bombardment, changing the red ballistae that is good at penetrating shooting to projectile. Although the lethality will be weakened as a result, it can effectively avoid the  The prepared Xiahou Dun's troops killed and wounded the under-prepared Cao Xiu's troops, thereby creating chaos in Cao Xiu's troops and cutting off the mutual communication between him and Xiahou Dun. At the same time, Huang Zhong used the projectile method to avoid accidental injuries to the rushers.  The Longxiang heavy cavalry at the forefront made room for the Longxiang heavy cavalry to charge into the formation.  Seeing thousands of powerful crossbows flying in an arc above his head, Xiahoudun's heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized something was wrong.  The leader of the Wei army behind him was Cao Xiu, who was called "my thousand-mile horse" by Cao Cao. Although he was brave and good at fighting, he had an obvious lack of control over the overall situation, and Cao Xiu had only fought against Northern Han soldiers on the frontal battlefield.  Once, I was very unfamiliar with the advanced weapons of the Northern Han Dynasty, so I would definitely not prepare in advance. I am afraid that under the attack of this round of powerful crossbows, many Wei army officers and soldiers will be stained with blood on the battlefield.  Xiahou Dun¡¯s guess was not wrong this time.  When thousands of powerful crossbows roared around Xiahou Dun's troops and came to Cao Xiu's troops, they immediately caused effective damage to Cao Xiu's troops.  In a burst of puffing sounds, Cao Xiu's troops who had not yet fully raised their shields seemed to have turned into fish meat on their knees, allowing the thick and powerful crossbows to pierce their bodies, ruthlessly nailing them including men and horses.  Dead on the ground.  Even Cao Xiu himself suffered the test closest to death in his life.  A giant crossbow with a thickness of about one foot, with a sound of breaking through the air, was shot towards the top of Cao Xiu's head without any coincidence.  Cao Xiu did not dare to neglect, and did not bother to command the troops to raise their shields to defend. He quickly pulled the reins and tried to drive the war horse to move sideways to the left to avoid the shockingly powerful crossbow in front of him.  However, the horse he was sitting on had just stepped out with its front legs, and before he had time to move its hind legs, the giant crossbow was already approaching him, less than three feet away from his head.  Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Cao Xiu secretly gritted his teeth and thrust his arms through his arms. With the power of his horse kicking on the ground, he picked up the sword in his hand and slashed at the falling crossbow.  The huge inertia doubled the acceleration of this giant crossbow, and its power was extremely powerful. The moment Cao Xiu's sword struck the giant crossbow, the powerful rebound force immediately acted on Cao Xiu's arms, shaking his arms.  Feeling numb, he almost dropped the big knife in his hand and dropped it to the ground.  Cao Xiu knew that if he let go, his life would be in danger, so he used all the strength in his body and used all his strength to push the falling crossbow half a foot away. At the same time, he twisted his body and was barely able to avoid it.  After opening the vital part, he could no longer stop the giant crossbow from falling. He watched helplessly as the giant crossbow pierced his right leg at an angle, and then unstoppably plunged into the belly of the horse, nailing him and the sitting horse together.  On the ground.  After falling to the ground, Cao Xiu struggled feebly for two times, but found that he could not move the giant crossbow at all. Instead, it affected the wound on his right leg, causing a heartbreaking pain.  After his body spasmed uncontrollably, Cao Xiu gave up all struggling movements and lay on the ground in pain with cold sweat on his face.  When Cao Xiu was hit and fell off his horse, the various powerful crossbows fired by the crossbow gunners of the Northern Han Dynasty fell in a criss-cross direction, like a rain of arrows falling from the sky, nailing more than 4,000 Wei soldiers behind Cao Xiu to death.  on the ground.  Fortunately, none of the powerful crossbows fell in the direction of Cao Xiu, otherwise Cao Xiu's life would have been difficult to save.  When thousands of powerful crossbows came to a complete standstill, a vacuum zone had been cleared in Cao Xiu's battle formation. In this area, except for Cao Xiu who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, no one else could be found who could still breathe.  A living thing.  Various types of powerful crossbows were inserted straight or diagonally into the ground. While causing considerable damage to Cao Xiu's troops, they also temporarily formed a forest of crossbows, blocking the path of Cao Xiu's follow-up troops.  Seeing Cao Xiu lying on the ground in agony, Xiahou Dun was angry, Cao Ren was angry, all the children of the Cao family were angry, even Cao Cao was angry.  They could no longer bear the death of another strong general in the family at the hands of Ao Lie. Famous generals such as Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong had gone through hundreds of battles unscathed, but in the end they all died tragically in the hands of Ao Lie directly or indirectly. The Cao family  Even if the family is rich in talents, it cannot afford such consumption!  What's more, the generals of the family have repeatedly died at the hands of Ao Lie, which is a humiliation in itself. Ao Lie is trampling the dignity of the Cao family under his feet with killing!
