Liu Muzhi shook his head and said firmly: "No, now is not the time. The enemy is afraid of being deceitful. You should quickly give the order and tell the soldiers in front with flags that no one is allowed to cross the river now. The brothers on the opposite side must pay attention. Protect both wings to prevent enemy cavalry from attacking!"
Meng Chang's eyes widened suddenly: "Liu Canjun, what do you mean? They have all rushed over and they haven't sent reinforcements. Are you trying to trap them into fighting alone?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Muzhi's eyes: "Meng Chang, you have sent an order to join the army. Don't question your superior's general order! Can't you see that the Qin army deliberately let our army cross the river! Even if they send reinforcements, they can't Now! Execute the general’s order, otherwise military law will be engaged!”
Meng Chang gritted his teeth bitterly, turned forward, and quickly displayed Liu Muzhi's order to the front in flag language.
Liu Yu was sandwiched in the center of the 5,000-man phalanx of the Jin army. He looked back at the flags on the general platform in the distance, nodded and said, "How can Liu Muzhi, this damn fat guy, be so calm?"
Tan Pingzhi stamped his feet: "Damn it, slave, are you still talking to a fat guy named Fatty now? I think he is clearly unwilling to save you!"
Xiang Jing also said: "Yes, not only are we not sending troops, but we are also required to divide our troops to protect the two wings. How can we attack the opponent's camp gate by force?!"
Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth: "Fat man has a point. Now our army has no protection on this river bank. If the enemy cavalry comes from both wings, our army will be unable to resist it. Bottle, you go to the left wing, Tieniu, you come On the right wing, each with a thousand men, turn the troops to the left and right sides respectively, with the tips of the branches pointed to the side, to protect our army's flanks!"
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "You just rely on these three thousand people to attack the camp?"
Liu Laozhi laughed: "If we can attack, Fatty will definitely send reinforcements. Just follow my orders!"
When the Jin army forcibly crossed the Feishui River, they almost lost all their flags and drums. At this time, they could only rely on messengers running back and forth between the teams to give orders. Fortunately, this army was all elite soldiers, well-trained, and relied on In this way, Liu Yu's orders were quickly conveyed to every soldier.
The one thousand soldiers on each side of the left and right wings changed their direction, and the horizontal formation turned into a column. The top of the tree branch that was originally facing forward was turned ninety degrees to the side, and the three thousand sergeants in the center army, the front row, The archers in the back row shouted slogans and stepped forward, while more than a thousand archers in the back row emerged from under the shields held high by their comrades, pouring arrows into Qin's camp as fast as possible.
Qin's camp fence was built on a high ground fifty or sixty steps away from the river bank. The densely packed fence was coated with thick black mud. Behind the fence were shields painted with green faces and fanged ghost heads, and above these shields , is also covered with heavy and thick wooden shields, many of which have been inserted with arrows from the Jin army. I don’t know what will happen in the shield. The three thousand Jin troops advancing forward seem to be attacking a silent, It was an unknown castle, but they were still fearless, shouting slogans, shooting with bows and arrows, and advancing with shields. Seeing that they were less than twenty steps away from the opponent's camp fence!
Liu Yu suddenly shouted: "Eight Ox Crossbow, fire!"
Wei Yongzhi on one side quickly raised a red flag and waved it three times. More than thirty gaps suddenly opened in the Jin army's front shield wall. A group of two to three Jin army sergeants carried a Assembled together, it is a large crossbow machine that is half a man tall and weighs dozens of kilograms. The crossbow arm is not equipped with ordinary crossbow arrows, but a broken shaft that is more than two feet long. The cold tip of the crossbow is like a poisonous snake. With his head spitting out words, he raised his head that meant death towards the Qin army formation opposite. These were the great weapons of the Jin army's infantry - the eight-stone oxen crossbow!
The sound of the machine spring firing was endless, and more than thirty broken branches were shot out. The soldiers who were pulling the string to fire were so shocked that they could not stand one by one and fell backward. The power of these eight-stone oxen crossbows , is much stronger than the ordinary two-stone infantry crossbow, and is close to the great weapon of the former Western Jin Dynasty, the Wanjun Divine Crossbow, but it is much more stable. When fired at a distance of twenty or thirty steps, let alone It's a wooden shield wall. Even an iron shield can penetrate it!
The sound of the powerful sword breaking the shield was heard endlessly, followed by screams and muffled groans. From behind the Qin army's shield wall, blood spurted out. After each broken sword's flying trajectory, there were one or two faces. The shield, which was four or five paces wide, fell to the ground with a crash.
Dozens of branches were thrust straight through the bodies of three or four Qin soldiers, punching terrible bloody holes in their chests, and then brought to the three or four people behind, strung together in a string, seven or eight corpses like dominoes. Like, knocking down twenty or thirty people around.
The front three or four miles wide was actually hit by the close-range fire of this eight-stone oxen crossbow. It was riddled with holes and the fence fell to the ground. The Qin soldiers behind also suffered hundreds of casualties. The first shield The wall defenses collapsed almost instantly!
Seeing that Qin's shield wall was opened one after another, everything was swaying from the fence to the shield wall. Inside, a large number of Qin infantry wearing leather armor, holding spears and wearing leather helmets were suddenly exposed. They were obviously The formation had been quietly changed just now, and the archers in front were replaced by spearmen to guard the first line of defense behind the fence. It was precisely because of this that the density of bows and arrows suddenly became much sparser.
Liu Yuhu roared: "Now! Crossbow storm!"
Wei Yongzhi quickly picked up a green flag and waved it down fiercely. Hundreds of crossbowmen suddenly emerged from the Jin army's shield formation, all holding three-shot two-stone infantry crossbows. , standing on the same spot, facing the dense Qin army's front line 20 steps away, there was a burst of trigger pulls, and thousands of crossbow arrows, like locusts, went straight towards the opponent's line, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in their path. .
The leather armor of the Qin army was unable to withstand the sudden crossbow arrows fired within these dozens of steps. Although this time it was not the kind of broken spear or crossbow gun, the two-stone crossbow arrows were enough to penetrate the double layer at this distance. Iron armor, or directly kill an armored war horse weighing hundreds of kilograms. How could the Qin soldiers wearing only leather armor and no shield protection be able to withstand such a storm of crossbow bolts!
The screams were endless, and the ground was full of Qin soldiers who had been knocked down by arrows. The blood stained the land red. The number of Qin spearmen in the first few rows was no less than two thousand, which was two rounds of crossbow raids. At least 1,500 people were lying down, and the remaining people were all suffering from liver and gallbladder splitting. The hands holding the spears were trembling, and they could hardly form the solid and tight formation just now!
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he shouted: "Disperse the formation and attack with all your strength, quick!"
