Chapter 517： Fierce battle at 滏口陉

Five thousand Wei soldiers held a shield and framed a halberd, forming a spear forest, pointing straight ahead.

The enemy army on the opposite side is densely packed, endless, crushed and crushed by black.

Wei Wu's **** general Pang Juan came to the front, ascending to look up, he was facing Zhao Long's main infantry, including Zhang Yun's Euphorbia, and ordinary heavy infantry.

Wei Wuzu's equipment is almost the same as that of the Euphorbia, and both sides are equipped with halberds and shields as weapons.

Behind Wei Wushun, Liang Hongyu's Jianyan crossbowman stepped on the strong crossbow and loaded the crossbow arrows. Row after row of crossbowmen were ready. The Central Plains army had no time to equip the Divine Arm Bow, and Zhao Long also had no time to equip the Divine Arm Bow. The battle was about to start, and the conditions on both sides were fair.

The main general Liang Hongyu stood on the high platform of the war drum.

Liang Hongyu has the ability to inspire the morale of the entire army, and is one of the cards of this unprecedented battle.

As a high-ranking light infantry, the Xiliu Battalion is further behind and can quickly maneuver to support the left and right wings.

On the left, the Tiger and Leopard Corps (the main general Cao Cao, the deputy Cao Chun) and the Speed ​​Corps (two main generals, Xu Rong and Xia Houyuan), the right wing, the Invincible Corps (the main general Mu Guiying, temporarily transferred) and the Scout Corps (the main general Hua Mulan).

In the Chinese army, except for Wei Wuzu (the main general Pang Juan, temporarily transferred), Jianyan crossbowmen (main general Liang Hongyu), basically the defensive army of Zhou Yafu (main general Zhou Yafu, guarding Zhou Cang).

In addition to the Tiger and Leopard Army, the army commanded by Cao Cao also had a corps made up of ordinary soldiers and horses (the lieutenant banned, transferred from Gaotang).

With Cao Cao's ability to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it shouldn't be a problem.

The Detachment Corps (leader Li Xiuning) and Shenjiying (leader Xia Liang) serve as reserve teams.

Xia Liang also asked Cao Gui to come over. Cao Gui had the effect of "all-in-one" during the beginning of the battle.

In addition, there are guards Dianwei, counsellor Du Ruhui, Xu You.

"Don't be nervous..."

Xia Xia Liang found that her hand on the hilt was shaking.

Not everyone has the opportunity to command a large-scale battle with a total force of 600,000. If she loses, she will be displaced with Chu Tian and another son.

Chu Tian took away many core generals, but Zhao Long also divided Hu Luguang and Lanling King to Handan.

Zhao Long has not had time to digest the generals of Huma's forces. In fact, Zhao Long will suffer relatively.

Zhao Long had ordered an attack, and the dull drums of war echoed over the battlefield.

Zhao Long held his breath.

This decisive battle is very important to Zhao Long. If he wins, he will have enough time to digest Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou.

Zhao Long seems to have three states, but the three are unstable, and even Liu Bei's forces are still entrenched in Jizhou.

He needs a victory to consolidate his turf, just like defeating Huma in Changshan Kingdom.

Only military prestige can strengthen Zhao Long's dominance in the north.

Otherwise, once defeated, the three states will immediately fall apart.

"Zhang Xi is the front army, and Ju Yi shot it with a strong crossbow."

"Yang Su is the Chinese army, and Zhang Yan is the reserve of the Chinese army."

"He Ruobi (this recruitment), led the cavalry to the left."

"Long live Shi, leading the cavalry to the right."

"Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, listen to my orders, and then act."

"Sima Dejian (General of the Xiaoguo Army of the Sui Dynasty), your Xiaoguo Army, replenishes its energy, and attacks the enemy at a critical moment."

Unlike Yuan Shao, Zhao Long would not easily send Yan Liang and Wen Chou to die alone.

Jushou and Tian Feng were led by Zhao Long, serving as counsellors and reacting accordingly.

"Xu You is opposite."

"It's a different person's choice. It's understandable."

"The opponent's troops are also elite. In this battle, although our army is crowded and powerful, it will march for a long distance, and the opponent will do things with ease. Both morale and physical strength are better than us."

"Although it is difficult for Chu Zimou to deal with it, it is helpless. If there is not a fight as soon as possible, Yecheng will fall, the three states will be shaken, and the hearts of the people will be shaken."

Zhao Long dared to fight a decisive battle with Xia Liang, who had been deployed in advance, in Fukouxing. Apart from having a little confidence in himself, it had nothing to do with the situation.

If we don’t defeat the army from the Central Plains as soon as possible and lift the siege of Yecheng by the Central Plains army, then Zhao Long’s dominance over Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou will be greatly reduced. This is something Zhao Long does not want to see, so he Can only choose to give it a go.

As for the outcome of the battle, it is really up to the people to make things happen, and the things to happen in heaven.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums continued to reverberate over the battlefield, and the strong and powerful men beat the war drums with huge drumsticks in their hands. The cowhide drum surface of the war drum vibrated, bursting with a deep sound!

The soldiers of the Hebei Army urged the soldiers to move forward and began a continuous seesaw!

Jizhou produces strong crossbows. Among them, military commander Ju Yi also has a Xianden dead soldier equipped with a strong crossbow.

The distance between the two sides narrowed, and rows of heavy infantry in the Hebei Legion formed a copper wall and iron wall, following the drum beat, step by step toward the opposing army!

Jianyan Crossbowmen and Xiandeng Death Warriors, two elite crossbowmen troops, all sent out together, and a dense rain of arrows covered each other's front!

In addition to the elite crossbowmen, there are also low-level crossbowmen on both sides. Relying on a huge number and considerable bonuses from the generals of both sides, they can also explode not weak combat power.

The Central Plains Corps is on the defensive, setting up the horse-rejection and fences in advance, while the Hebei Legion must dismantle the horse-rejection and the fences before they can engage in melee combat.

The intensive rain of arrows fell like locusts, cleaning the army formations of both sides, and the sound of arrows hitting the armor was one after another, endless.

A Wei Wu **** was shot and killed by random arrows, and the Wei Wu **** in the second row immediately stepped forward to fill the vacancy, ensuring that the shield formation formed by Wei Wu pawns was airtight.

On the opposite side, Zhang Yun's euphorbias suffered a lot of casualties under the attack of Jianyan crossbowmen and a large number of low-level crossbowmen.

Zhang Yun rode a war horse, picked up the flying crossbow arrows, and yelled at the Euphorbias under his command, filling the vacancy just like Wei Wuzheng.

The Euphorbias did not collapse because of the crossbowmen's salvo, they were still advancing. As one of the five good generals, Zhang Xi had the strength of a king, and his Euphorbia was not so easy to defeat.

Zhang Xi is also very reliable.

At least before the power collapsed.

The euphorbias braved the arrows like heavy rain to speed up, and came to the front of the battle, destroying the early deployment of the Central Plains Army, and the speed of the charge was hindered.

Wei Wuzu held an infantry crossbow and fired, the crossbow machine was triggered, and the fierce crossbow arrows shot through the air!

The longbowmen in the rear broke out almost at the same time, and the rain of arrows intertwined in the air into a gorgeous net, covering the euphorbia and even the dead soldiers behind the euphorbia!

Probably not many players in the entire Eastern Han District have the opportunity to witness this gorgeous and deadly arrow rain in a lifetime.

A total of nearly one hundred thousand arrows from both sides rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth were discolored, and then they whizzed down and harvested each other's soldiers!

The soldiers were shot into hedgehogs by the intensive rain of arrows, and fell to the ground, with arrows all over their bodies, and the battle flag was also torn because of the rain of arrows!

Only the Wei Wuxi and the Euphorbia as high-ranking heavy infantry have the ability to maintain the army under such a terrible arrow rain, otherwise they would have already been destroyed.

No fierce general would dare to calm down in front of a hundred thousand arrows.

"attack!"

Xia Xia Ryo sees the opponent's infantry and the fence blocking the opponent's infantry, which makes the opponent's speed slow. After the opponent destroys the opponent's horse, it makes people beaten offense. At the same time, it allows Cao Kai to play a full-fledged effect and make the most of advantageous factors to form an advantage!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums reverberated on the battlefield. Wei Wuzu and Xiliuying charged and accelerated. The frontal attack speed of the Euphorbia was reduced, using their inertia to knock down the first row of Euphorbia!

Finally, a torrent of steel composed of two high-ranking heavy infantry collided fiercely, the iron shield collided with the iron shield, and the iron halberd and the iron halberd fought!

The two sides saw their horses and fences as their fronts, and saw back and forth!

Pang Juan wanted to prove his ability to the Chutian forces, so he took the lead, drew his long sword, and supervised the battle at the forefront.

Those who dare to retreat, die!

The terrifying rain of arrows continued, like a heavy rain falling down, and countless arrows stuck in the plain.

I am afraid that after a big battle, the number of arrows used by both sides is calculated in millions!

Because it was a battle to determine Hebei's ownership, the two parties who were very eager to occupy the Hebei region would do their best, even desperate!

They just want to destroy each other, leaving no room for it!

The war between the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty was far more fierce than some civilizations.

The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Every prince wants to destroy the opponent without turning the opponent into a vassal.

Only one person can survive!

As one of the counsellors, Xu You noticed that Xia Liang seemed a little excited, and his eyes were full of belligerence, as if he was born for war.

As soon as they succeed, some people are born with a talent for war, such as Bai Qi and Han Xin. The more they fought, the more confident they became.

"Zhao Long has a Xiaoguo army and a Baibaoxianbei. These two cavalry are the elites of Zhao Long. When he defeated Huma, he used heavy cavalry. The pigs were in good standing, and Shi Wansui was the vanguard. , Yan Liang and Wen Chou opened the way and captured Lianpo alive. Don't be careful."

Xu You knows some of Zhao Long's cards, so he reminds Xia Liang.

"The King of Lanling's Baibao Xianbei is in Handan. The only thing that needs attention is the Xiaoguo Army. If Shi Wansui, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou can be brought out, it is best."

Xia Liang wants to attract Zhao Long to use Xiaoguo Army.

Xiaoguo Army is Zhao Long's trump card. If the generals and timing are used, the Xiaoguo Army will be like a broken bamboo.

"This is Zhang Yun's Euphorbia, and Zhang Yun was used by Zhao Long after all."

Xu You also pointed out that the high-ranking heavy infantry who was fighting Wei Wuzu was Zhang Yun's special arm of Euphorbia.

Zhang Yun and Pang Juan fought, and both sides had the aura of the whole army, fighting each other, every breath, there were high-level heavy infantry killed.

High-level heavy infantry is extremely precious no matter which force they are in, and the cost is high. However, in order to fight for control of Hebei, the two sides fought at any cost. Even if thousands of high-level heavy infantry were killed or injured, it would not be a pity!

"The other party has prepared a lot of arrows. Our logistics is tight and we don't have enough arrows. We must fight hand-to-hand as soon as possible."

When the two armies fought, Zhao Long found that he was inferior to the Chutian forces in logistics.

It didn't take long for his three states and Bingzhou to settle down, and the Hebei Army returned to Jizhou from Bingzhou. Arrows were not supplied in time. If they were consumed for a long time, Zhao Long would be the first to run out of arrows.

At this time, the economic advantages of the territory are brought into play.

The Chutian forces have enough money to create millions of arrows, all of which are shipped to Hebei.

Xia Liang used a money offensive to force Zhao Long to work hard.

If Zhao Long does not work hard, he will lose the battle if his logistics, grass and arrows cannot be supplied.

Once desperately, there are many flaws.

Encircling Yecheng, inducing Zhao Long to return to the division to relieve the siege, then draw the ground as a prison, defend, force Zhao Long to attack, and let Zhao Long expose his flaws.

This is a serial plan.

Zhao Long had to bite the bullet and attack directly.

The fall of Yecheng made the hearts of Hebei people unstable.

"We must break the opponent's formation. When can the two military divisions use the Xiaoguo Army to break the formation in one fell swoop?"

Zhao Long asked Jushou and Tian Feng. At this time, the imperial commander-in-chief Yang Su was engrossed in a game with Zhou Yafu and Cao Cao, unable to be distracted.

Tian Feng replied: "The time is not yet ripe. When the enemy is exhausted, it can be broken by cutting its feet with the army of Xiaoguo."

Jushou said: "After noon, the enemy army is exhausted, and then facing the sun, it will definitely be dazzling, breaking the formation with the Xiaoguo Army and a group of low-level heavy cavalry."

Zhao Long heard Tian Feng and Jushou's suggestions, which basically coincided with his own ideas.

A battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will not be able to tell the winner for a while, and may even last for a few days, forming a confrontational situation.

However, Zhao Long could not stand up, because his food transportation was difficult, so he could only choose to destroy the enemy as soon as possible, otherwise he would fail.

Wei Wuzu was still fighting with the Euphorbia, but the cavalry on the two wings finally moved and attacked each other.

The cavalry on the opposite side of Mu Guiying is Shi Long live at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, and needs to bear great pressure.

Shi Long live the cavalry offensive fiercely, and they attacked the invincible army!

The Invincible Legion tried to gain a foothold with heavy cavalry. Shi Wansui broke into the Invincible Legion. He shot amazingly and killed an invincible cavalry with one arrow. Even the armor of the low-level heavy cavalry would be shot by Shi Wansui. wear!

Mu Guiying prancing horse with a spear into the Sui Dynasty cavalry, a pear spear flew, the enemy horses fell one after another.

When Shi Wansui saw that there was still a fierce general among the opponents, he put down his bow and arrows, took up his spear, and in the chaos army, he killed Mu Guiying. Wherever the spear came, the Bingzhou wolf ride along the way, all fell to Shi Wansui's spear. under.

The two confronted with long spears, Mu Guiying's weapon almost broke away, Shi Wansui's force was even better!

However, Xia Liang also sent Mulan to Mu Guiying's side. Mulan can provide defense and morale aura, so that Mu Guiying's temporary commander invincible army will not be overwhelmed by Shi Longsui.

Hua Mulan drew Tang's sword and retreated the approaching Sui cavalry.

A Tang knife fluttered like a stray flower. Hua Mulan, who was in the battle again, was still fierce. She took the initiative to intercept Shi Long live with Mu Guiying.

On the other wing, Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and has begun to attack the cavalry led by the enemy general He Ruobi!

Two cavalry fought, and both sides suffered heavy casualties!
