The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 54 Decisive battle, victory!

rumbling~
Following the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan high-level officials issued an order for the entire army to charge.

About [-] cavalry from the three tribes moved.

A charge was launched against the Beifu army formation from four directions, southeast, northwest, and north.

The senior officials of the three clans looked at the overwhelming cavalry charging and the Han army standing still, all with cruel smiles on their faces.

This time it was different from the last rush.

The last time I entered the battle was in front of the gate of Yunzhong City.

Liu Yu led the soldiers of the Beifu army to lean against Yunzhong City, directly preventing their cavalry from charging forward at all, and if they charged again, they would hit the wall.

So last time, Shengsheng forced them to stop.

The cavalry stopped and became worse than infantry.

However, this time is different. This time, there is no wall behind the soldiers of the Han army, but an endless plain.

They can charge with confidence and don't need to slow down at all!
Moreover, the last time Liu Yujun leaned against the city wall, there was an extra city wall behind him, and they lost an offensive surface.

But this time is different, Liu Yu put his army on the plain, and can attack from all directions!

Therefore, with hatred and anger, the high-level officials of the three clans looked at the cavalry who charged Liu Yujun with fierceness and anticipation in their eyes.

They seem to have seen more than 4 cavalry break through the defenses of the Chinese infantry.

The scene where the Han army was trampled into meat paste, and Liu Yu was hacked to death with random knives.

rumbling~
The ground trembled violently, and [-] riders charged forward in all directions.

The violent, wanting to destroy everything made all the soldiers of the Beifu army fearful, even Yue Yun, Luo Cheng and others in the army tensed up all over.

Liu Yu, who was in the middle army, was still as motionless as a mountain. On the contrary, the cavalry of the foreign race even charged in multiple directions, insinuating the stupidity of the foreign race.

If [-] to [-] cavalry charged from one side, then the charge would be unprecedented, and the area attacked by the heavy crossbows of the Han army would also be reduced.

Now it is attacking from all sides, so, although the opponent's charge area has expanded.

However, the coverage area of ​​the Han army's crossbow has also increased, and the opponent's charge has also been greatly reduced.

These thoughts came to mind, Liu Yu stared closely at the distance between the two sides, and said loudly:

"The whole army is defending, and the heavy crossbow is ready!"

Liu Yu's loud shout resounded, and the soldiers of the Beifu soldiers on the outer shield tightened their shields tightly.

The soldiers inside all raised their heavy crossbows.

More than [-] yellow-shouldered crossbows and rhubarb crossbows were lifted up, and the arrows on the crossbows shone with cold light, pointing in all directions outside the army formation.

Liu Yu looked at the gleaming crossbow arrows, as well as the yellow shoulder crossbow and rhubarb force crossbow, with anticipation in his eyes.

The bow and arrow is a long-range shooting weapon commonly used by archers.

but.

But there is a long-range weapon, which is much more domineering than bows and arrows.

crossbow!
The crossbow, which is several times longer than the bow and arrow, is the real super long-range weapon of the big man.

After it is used to the extreme, it is a sharp weapon to achieve the ruler's hegemony.

It was also a sharp weapon for the Han Dynasty to use infantry to fight against foreign cavalry.

The strength of crossbows in the Han Dynasty is calculated by stone, divided into one stone to ten stones, and it takes about 27-30 kg of force to fill one stone crossbow.

Among them, the ten stone crossbow is the strongest, also known as the yellow shoulder crossbow and the rhubarb force crossbow.

The generals and soldiers who use the rhubarb crossbow must be very strong. Only such people can use the rhubarb crossbow.

Under the development potential of the barracks, the soldiers of the Beifu army have become elite soldiers and are very strong.

But this time, the crossbows held by soldiers of the Beifu army were all the strongest yellow shoulder crossbows and rhubarb force crossbows.

In fact, the big man does not lack heavy crossbows.

The big Han attaches great importance to crossbows, and the reserves of crossbows in the armory are astonishing, far exceeding that of bows and arrows.

For example, in the Han bamboo slips unearthed in Lianyungang, the "Arsenal of Weapons and Vehicles in the Fourth Year of Yongshi's Arsenal" records the situation of one of the arsenals: more than 53.77 crossbows, more than 1145 million crossbow arrows; more than 7.7 bows, more than 119 million bows and arrows There are more than 5 spears.

This is the fourth year of Yongshi, 13 BC.

As for the current big men, although there are not as many as before, there are still many.

Before the expedition.

Liu Yu made great efforts to raise heavy crossbows, and even gave some benefits to the officials in charge of the arsenal. From the arsenal, he raised [-] ten stone crossbows, the strongest yellow shoulder crossbows, and rhubarb force crossbows.

rumbling~
The cavalry of the three clans got closer.

A thousand steps!

Nine hundred steps!
Eight hundred steps!
Both Liu Yu and the Beifu army couldn't help tightening their weapons.

……

Six hundred steps!
When the cavalry of the three tribes entered within [-] steps, Liu Yu shouted loudly:
"shoot!"

"Whoosh whoosh~"

The violent and fast crossbow arrows rose instantly, and densely packed arrows spanned a super long distance of [-] steps, covering the cavalry of the three tribes attacking from all sides.

ah ah ah ~

In an instant, the shrill screams resounded from the front row of the cavalry of the three tribes, and a large number of cavalrymen of the three tribes shot arrows in an instant. come out through the body.

Blood shot out and corpses flew everywhere.

A wave of crossbow arrows was shot out, and blood mist rose from the front of the cavalry of the three tribes.

Some of the cavalry of the three tribes behind the shooting range saw a large number of cavalry in front of them fall down, and a large number of them died in a blink of an eye, with fear in their eyes.

However, the charge has already started, they can't retreat, they can only grit their teeth and charge!
"Come on, it's almost here!"

"Damn Han Chinese, charge, they are ahead!"

……

The cavalrymen of the three clans were extremely frightened and gritted their teeth.

"Shoot again!"

Liu Yu's stern voice resounded again.

swoosh swish~
Another burst of crossbow arrows soared into the sky, enveloping the cavalry of the three tribes, people turned their backs, blood mist rose, and screams resounded, and nearly a thousand cavalrymen of the three tribes died tragically and fell down.

"Damn Han people, the crossbow arrows are too strong, we haven't even touched anyone!"

"There are still hundreds of steps, what should I do!"

"Rush, if you don't rush, you will die."

The cavalry of the three tribes who charged forward almost collapsed, but they were frightened by the heavy crossbow shot by the Han army.

It's just that the whole army is charging, they can't stop at all, they can only charge.

In the distance, the senior officials of the three clans watched their own clansmen being shot and killed in large numbers, and they were so distressed that their eyes were red. The heavy crossbows of the Han army were too brutal, and the casualties were too distressing for them.

However, there is no way!
The Han people are powerful with crossbows and arrows, as long as they survive this period of time.

At this time, Ke Bineng was glad that he let the tribes under his command be in the rear, and did not charge forward.

"shoot!"

"Shoot again!"

……

Liu Yu shouted loudly, and bursts of crossbow arrows shot up into the air, causing huge damage to the cavalry of the three tribes.

These hundreds of steps formed a death field for the cavalry of the three tribes.

Every step forward, a large number of foreign cavalry fell in a pool of blood. After seven or eight rounds of archery, the frontmost foreign cavalry finally entered within a hundred steps of the Han army. However, at this time, there were more than seven thousand foreign cavalry. collapsed.

After paying such a heavy price, the eyes of the cavalrymen of the three races were bloodshot, their scalps were numb, and they trembled. However, they finally got within a hundred steps of the Han army.

rumbling~
"Archery, archery!"

"fight back!"

Within a hundred steps, the cavalrymen of the three races resounded one after another in shock and anger, and immediately launched cavalry and shooting to fight back.

The rain of arrows all over the sky enveloped the formation of the Han army.

"Shield array defense, the heavy crossbow continues to fire at an elevated angle!"

Liu Yu's voice resounded.

The Beifu army, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately hid behind the shield, and the arrow rain rubbed sparks on the shield.

The tight defense, the foreign cavalry's cavalry and shooting did not cause any harm to the Beifu army. On the contrary, the Beifu soldiers in the formation, under the cover of shields, raised their heavy crossbows and fired at an angle.

"Ah ah ah~"

The shrill screams kept resounding among the alien cavalry. Despite the intervention of the opponent's arrows, it was necessary to pay attention to defense. The heavy crossbow was raised higher and the range became shorter.

However, the crossbow arrows still covered the distance of two to three hundred steps outside the army formation, and continued to hit the alien cavalry within two to three hundred steps.

The sharp crossbow arrows caused the alien cavalry within two or three hundred steps to fall on their backs, and screams could be heard endlessly. Accompanied by a huge wave of blood, the alien cavalry charged a hundred steps away and "violently" hit the hedgehog defensive shield of the former army of the Beifu army .

In an instant, many foreign cavalrymen in the front row were stabbed and killed by the spears in the gaps in the shields.

The huge inertia rushed in, causing the shield formation to shake violently, and even many soldiers behind the shield formation were directly knocked into the air.

A large number of foreign cavalry rushed up from all around, causing the entire army and shield to shake violently.

However, Liu Yu, who sits in the middle army, looked serious and shouted:
"Heavy crossbow, shoot, keep shooting!"

swoosh swish~
The sharp rain of crossbow arrows, like dense ants, fell from the sky, causing heavy blows to the alien cavalry within two or three hundred steps. There were endless screams, and a large number of alien cavalry fell down.

Soon, the alien cavalry of two or three hundred paces of the Han army thinned out, but then the alien cavalry behind them made up again.

"Soldiers, block it, let this general block it!"

"Hold on, kill!"

The shield formation of the Han army, Yue Yun, Luo Cheng and others were behind the shields, but they attacked one after another with spears and spears in their hands, stabbing and killing the cavalrymen of different races who approached one after another.

"Damn it, go, go!"

"Break through the Han army formation!"

In the distance, Wuhuan Shan Yuqiu Liju, Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo and other high-ranking officials from the three tribes roared in shock and anger when they saw that the cavalry did not break through the Han army for a while, but suffered heavy casualties.

rumbling~
swoosh swish~
On the Yunzhong Plain, the sound of shouting and killing was loud, but the battle situation was stalemate for a while, and there was no scene of foreign cavalry directly smashing the Han army formation.

There were about [-] cavalry from the coalition forces of the three races, and no less than [-] cavalry were shot and killed before they touched the army formation. In this way, before approaching the Han army formation, there were [-] cavalry left, [-] cavalry Attack on all sides.

In this way, each side of the Han army formation needs to face the impact of only [-] cavalry!
Relying on the strong physique of the Beifu army and the strong shield, they were able to withstand it.

The fighting continued, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded through the plain in the clouds.

However, in the distance, Wuhuan Chanyu Qiuliju and Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo and other high-level officials of the three clans were anxious.

Because they feel something is wrong.

The Han army's formation has not been broken for a long time.

The heavy crossbows of the Han army continued to fire, and the lethality against their cavalry was far greater than the lethality of their cavalry's archery against the Han army.

The cavalry within two or three hundred steps of the Han army was shot and killed in large numbers, and the screams were endless. At every moment, a large number of cavalry fell down and became sparse, and then the cavalry behind came up again, and were again massacred. Shot, thinned out, and added to be shot.

Within two or three hundred steps of the Han army's formation, a large number of corpses of cavalrymen of the three tribes piled up, as if forming a death field, which frightened the cavalrymen who were about to charge.

Moreover, even if they rushed into this area, a large number of corpses were blocked and piled up, making it difficult for the cavalry to charge forward.

"How did this happen? How did this happen? Break through the Han army formation!"

Wuhuan Shanyu Qiu Liju was hoarse.

Time passed by minute by minute.

An hour or two has passed since the battle.

The sound of fighting continued, but the soldiers of the Han army felt more and more relaxed.

Within two or three hundred steps, the corpses of alien races piled up like a mountain, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the alien cavalry in this area were almost killed, but two or three hundred steps away from the Han army formation, a large number of alien cavalry were terrified, their faces were pale, Not daring to move forward any longer, he stopped.

But at this time, the mighty and endless cavalry of foreign races, although they were also dark and overwhelming, filled the mountains and plains.

However, as a large number of corpses lay on the ground, the number of alien cavalry has shrunk by half.

The alien cavalry was killed and frightened!
If you don't advance, you will retreat!

"My lord, the foreign race dare not attack anymore, instead of advancing, retreat!"

Luo Cheng, Yue Yun and other generals covered in blood came to Liu Yu's side and said happily.

"This group of aliens has really forgotten how powerful the Han army is, and how powerful the heavy crossbow is. Today is to help them remember it!"

Liu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

With the Han army array and the Han heavy crossbow, Li Ling could use [-] infantry to fight against the Huns' [-] cavalry, killing the opponent's back, so Liu Yu naturally has the confidence to give it a try!
For the sake of the battle now, the overall situation is already settled.

However, the morale of the foreign army has been lost, and the physical strength and morale of the Han army are still high. Obviously, the results of the battle can be expanded!
Liu Yu suppressed the joy in his heart that he was about to win over [-] foreign cavalry, and his voice resounded:

"Cavalry on horseback, go to battle!"

Liu Yu's voice resounded, and the morale of the Beifu army was greatly shaken, and three thousand cavalry mounted their horses together.

"This Han army is so strong, the damage is so heavy!"

"The Han army has come out!"

Wuhuan Shan Yuqiu Liju, Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo and other high-ranking members of the three tribes looked extremely ugly and trembled, but they were terrified by the huge casualties of their own tribes and couldn't accept it, but when they saw the Han army move unexpectedly, they withdrew The army array shook in unison.

At this time, seeing that the Han army was so difficult to provoke, and their own casualties were so heavy, all the high-ranking officials of the foreign race actually wanted to retreat.

Indeed, their casualties were too heavy.

However, seeing that the Han army came out and stopped defending, all the high-level aliens were not reconciled.

rumbling~
Liu Yu led the Han army into an offensive position, slowly pressing down on the alien cavalry.

More than 3000 infantry were in front, and more than 3000 cavalry were divided into two, separated on both sides of the infantry.

"The Han people are not guarding, and if you kill him, there are only a few thousand cavalry and infantry!"

"Let the cavalry charge and defeat the Han army!"

Wuhuan Chanyu Qiu Liju, Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo and other senior officials of the three tribes saw that Liu Yuzhen had not guarded, and instead led the infantry and cavalry out, gritted their teeth and roared loudly.

A group of high-level officials quickly reached a consensus and attacked Liu Yu again.

Already inexplicably panicked, the trembling alien cavalry moved and charged Liu Yu's army.

"The infantry shoots, the cavalry protects the flanks, advance steadily!"

Liu Yu was in the middle army, and he snorted coldly when he saw the alien race coming in mighty force.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

The heavy crossbow arrows pierced through the air, forming a death field again within [-] steps in front of the infantry, dealing a heavy blow to the alien cavalry.

The cavalry of the Beifu Army on both sides acted as protecting the two wings of the infantry.

However, Liu Yu still planned to launch an active attack on the alien race with the infantry and heavy crossbow!
The heavy crossbow reappeared the massacre, and it lasted for a while. The alien cavalry, who had already been panicked and inexplicable, completely collapsed!
"Chase and kill!"

Liu Yu commanded the infantry of the Beifu Army, carrying a heavy crossbow, striding forward to chase and kill the alien cavalry!

collapse!

Rout!

The alien cavalry broke up and dispersed, and the Beifu Army cavalry rushed to kill!

Victory!

When a large number of alien cavalry broke up and fled in all directions, it was officially announced that the victory of the Beifu Army had been decided!
