My wife is number one in the world

"The general is Zhong Qiang and incompetent. The general has mobilized so many arrows but still can't stop the attack of the Turkic cavalry."

"I don't blame you. The Turkic war horses are famous for their strength and speed. In addition, the Turkic people's riding skills are superb. This is an unavoidable thing. Back then, the 30 army went north to the border. Although many Turkic tribes were captured, they lost 10,000+ Brothers who have won the reputation of being a mighty soldier."

"General, let Dong Kaishan's light cavalry support from the two wings."

"No, right now our cavalry is going to fight against the Turkic cavalry, it's like going into a tiger's mouth. Only when the heavy cavalry attack the light cavalry in a large area can we give the Turkic a thunderous blow. Our horses are not a star and a half behind the Turkic horses. , Take it out alone, there is no enemy."

"Hey, the bed crossbow's damage is indeed eye-catching, but it's just too cumbersome, otherwise all these people would have to be kept."

"Zhong Qiang, don't blame yourself. There is a problem with the deployment of the general. Earlier, the old man was worried that using the bed crossbow too early would make the Turks retreat in shock, so he ordered you to use the bed crossbow to shoot only 300 meters away. I just didn't expect this. People are so brave and fearless, so things can’t be controlled so much now, Turkic people enter within 700 meters, and immediately start to shoot arrows, we must reduce hand-to-hand combat, and we cannot let their advantages of bows and arrows be brought into play.”

"General, when will the god-armed crossbow you mentioned be transported to the northern border? Although strong archers have a long range, there are really limited brothers who can pull the bowstring, otherwise they will not be allowed to rush to the city easily as scheduled."

Zhang Kuang sighed melancholy: "Come on, come on, time, what is most lacking now is time, and I don't know how the other six frontier fortresses' main cities are doing. Their equipment is not as good as ours, especially Fuzhou. , the terrain is flat and open, which has a great advantage for the Turks!"

To Zhang Kuang's surprise, since Fuzhou's casualties were smaller than Yingzhou's, Shi Bibu's tentative attack had to be retreated due to the fifty eight-ox crossbows.

Fuzhou's eight-ox crossbow started shooting arrows at [-] paces, which greatly disturbed the formation of the cavalry's charge, but received unexpected results.

Turkic camp, in the interval between Asnamo's attack on Yingzhou, the Turkic tent has been set up.

Asnamo's lips turned pale, and he looked at the Turkic soldiers who came back with him with a livid face.

There were less than 500 of the [-] cavalry, and the [-] infantry were even more dismal. They were all wounded, and only less than [-] returned.

Just a tentative charge of 5000 people lost more than 500 people.

Some died under the rain of arrows, and most died under the chaos caused by the eight-ox crossbow.

It was not that the Turkic people had encountered bed crossbow arrow arrays when they attacked the city before, but such arrow arrays that cost no money had never existed before, and the lethality was too great.

In the past, the bed crossbow would lose its power if it penetrated at most two people. Today, it can penetrate six people without losing its power, and it can still knock people under the horse.

The most regrettable thing is the war horse. Because of the loss of the war horse, most of the people were actually damaged by their own cavalry.

The corners of Ashnamo's mouth trembled slightly. How could he meet his father with such a result? Du Lu's troops marched southward in two ways. There were more than 3 soldiers attacking Yingzhou. Nearly [-] soldiers were killed before the official battle started. One in ten people, which has never happened in nearly a decade.

"Talmu has met the eldest prince, the eldest prince......"

Talmu looked at a group of ragged Turkic cavalry with a dull expression. If it was just ragged clothes, Talmu would not be so dull. What he was dull was the number of people in front of him.

The team of 5000 people is now less than 1000 people.

According to past experience, King Du Lu believed that even if the eldest prince could not open the gate of Yingzhou City, he would definitely fight evenly, so the Du Lu Department and a group of generals were all drinking and playing in the big tent and did not pay attention to the war.

"Just come back so few people?"

"Talmu, the southerners are crazy. The arrows cover the sky and the sun. They shoot out desperately. The loss is heavy. Let's go see the father first."

Talmu looked at the place where the battle was fought, seeing the densely packed corpses on the ground and the number of at least three or five arrows on each person's body, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

He finally knew why the eldest prince suffered such a heavy loss. Such a dense rain of arrows could not be avoided no matter how skilled the Turkic warriors were in riding.

The arrows fired in the first tentative battle were more intensive than in the past ten days.

"Yahama, lead the wounded soldiers to treat their wounds."

"It's General Talmu."

"Your Highness, the king will definitely be furious, you have to be careful."

"Uncle Talmu, you have also seen the situation on the battlefield, I hope you can explain a few words for Namo, the arrow array of the Southerners is too terrifying."

Dulu King Ashina threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground and looked at his trembling son with a ferocious expression: "What did you say? Out of 5000 people, only less than 1000 came back?"

"Yes!"

"Trash, how did you lead the soldiers? This king wants to expel you from the Golden Family. You are a disgrace to the Golden Family."

Chapter 398 The Battle of Northern Border III

Ashinamo struggled to explain the reason clearly.

In addition to Talmu's intercession on the side, although King Lu believed the reason, he still rode his horse to the front line to watch with a slightly skeptical attitude.

King Du Lu and the dozen or so generals under his command also felt scalp numb looking at the densely packed arrows on the battlefield.

Ashina took a deep breath: "Is the guard of Yingzhou City still arrogant? Could it be possible to change people? The tentative attack of 5000 people actually consumed nearly [-] arrows. Zhang Kuang absolutely can't do that." Crazy thing."

"Your Majesty, the scouts in Yingzhou must have reported the news that we brought siege equipment to the generals. They must know that this will be a protracted battle. Why are the arrows in the city so consumed? Could it be that he is crazy?"

"Yes, my lord, four arrows are exchanged for one of our warriors. How many arrows does the treasury of Yingzhou City have? This is only the first day. The food and grass provided by the Golden Emperor is enough for us to fight for about two months. Such consumption of arrows Could it be that the guards of Yingzhou City are planning to fight to the death with their backs?"

"Look, my lord, those six-foot crossbow bolts are also different from the previous ones. They are at least two feet longer. The most frightening thing is their penetrating power. Your Majesty looked to the left and directly penetrated three war horses." It’s unimaginable if it hits a human body.”

Ashinamo looked at the corpses of the soldiers under his command with a gloomy expression: "Chigutai, go to the front of the army and ask who is the guard of Yingzhou city? This king does not believe that Zhang Kuang can do such a thing of self-destructing the city."

"Follow the order."

Chigutai rode his horse towards Yingzhou City, and stopped slowly: "The commander of Chigutai, I came to inquire under the order of my king Ashinamo. Is the guard of Yingzhou General Zhang, the protector of the country?"

"Wait!"

A soldier protruded from the city wall and replied.

Zhancha Kungfu Zhang Kuang stood on the top of the city in military uniform: "Tell Ashinamo that the guard of Yingzhou is still his old 'friend' General Longwuwei Zhang Kuang.

Chigutai glanced at Zhang Kuang on the city wall, and turned his horse around.

"Wait a moment."

Chi Gutai reined in his horse and looked back: "King Duo Lu sent someone to collect the corpse."

Chigutai's face was red, and he galloped away with his horse's belly.

After hearing Chigutai's report, Ashinamo looked puzzled: "This man Zhang Kuang never fights uncertain battles. Why is his fighting style so different today?"

"My lord, is Zhang Kuang doing this intentionally, trying to scare us away with the power of thunder, but in fact, he is strong from the outside and doing nothing in the middle, and there are not many arrows in the city?"

The Turkic people didn't know about this. The general prisoner in Yingzhou City was pouring arrowheads without delay, and thousands of arrowheads were poured out of [-] molds every hour.

Although the watered arrowheads are not as wear-resistant and durable as the tried-and-tested arrowheads, they cannot stop their high output.

It was for this reason that Young Master Liu gave Zhang Kuang a so-called kit.

It is very easy to make arrows. If you can’t fight with the Turks, don’t fight with the Turks. If there are no arrows, we can make more than a dozen with one mold, but the lives of the soldiers are really gone.
