Great Wei Nengchen

"Lead the headquarters to attack, cut off the tunnel and divide Cao's army in one fell swoop!"

"promise!"

When the battle got to this place, it was impossible to stop. After repeated weighing, Zhu Houliang gritted his teeth and played a trump card-white-eared soldiers!

When Liu Bei competed in the Central Plains, he was defeated many times by Xiao Yi's Xuanjia iron cavalry, not to mention losing all his territory, and being chased to the sky and without a way to enter the ground. How useful is an elite soldier in fighting for world hegemony!

Therefore, after gaining a firm foothold in Jingzhou, they specially selected brave soldiers from the army and formed a heavy infantry unit. Their flags, armor and weapons were all decorated with white yak tails to show their dignity and power, so they were called white yak soldiers!

"毦" means feather decoration, and "毦" has the same pronunciation as "ear". There are not many literate soldiers in the army, so they gradually become white-eared soldiers.

There are more than [-] white-eared soldiers. They have repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and all the attackers are destroyed. Liu Bei regards them as the direct descendants of the direct line, and hand them over to the commander of the confidant general Zhao Yun. They usually stay in the palace and serve as trump cards in wartime !

In this Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang originally wanted to bring out all the white-eared soldiers and use them as a trump card to turn the tide of the battle at critical moments, but he was strongly opposed by Li Yan, Xu Jing and others!

Conservative ministers believed that the [-] army marched northward to the Central Plains, and the interior of Bashu was too empty, and an elite army must be left to protect the safety of the queen and young master. Otherwise, if something changed in Chengdu, the state of Shuhan would be in danger!

The two sides argued for a long time, and no one could convince the other. In the end, Zhao Yunju was the mediator. He led 1 white-eared soldiers to stay behind to protect the safety of the palace and Chengdu. Let's conquer the Central Plains together!

In the previous battles, this elite army has not been dispatched, but stayed in the camp, nourishing its strength, just to release it at a critical moment and deal a severe blow to Cao Jun!

"Haha, Zhuge Village... Village... Villager, can you finally bear it? The white-eared soldiers have been transferred... transferred... In this case, I will also play a trump card to see whose card is more powerful." Powerful, pass on my military order, and the crossbowmen go out... go out!"

"promise!"

In the direction of Dingjun Mountain, Deng Ai personally sits in the corridor and has been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. Seeing a team of white armor pouring out of the Shu army, he can't help showing a knowing smile!

After fighting hard all night and day, I finally forced out one of Zhuge Liang's trump cards. Since the first card is forced out, the second card can be forced out. When the trump cards are exhausted, it is time for the Wei army to counterattack!

After the military order was issued, a team of about 2000 people rushed out of the Tucheng, neither wearing armor nor holding weapons, but a group of eight people, carrying a huge box. What is the secret inside? What about weapons?

Chapter 1670 Decisive Battle on Dingjun Mountain! (five)

The large wooden boxes were opened one by one, and inside were copper, iron, wood, bamboo, leather and hemp parts, including bases, bows, pulleys, triggers, traction ropes, traction hooks... there were hundreds of them in size. Sophisticated, each with its own magic!

"quack!"

"The first group is assembled, the second group is assembled...all the groups are assembled!"

"Attention all groups, the elevation angle is 45 degrees, the distance is 350 steps, and the fine steel penetrating cone is wound!"

These soldiers are well-trained, and it took only half a stick of incense time to assemble all the parts, revealing the true face of the weapon-the bed crossbow!

The crossbow is one of the great inventions of mankind, and it is also a sharp weapon on the battlefield. It is used in chariot battles, foot battles, and water battles. Countless people have died from crossbows. Kuo and Tu Sui both became ghosts under the arrow!

Because of the great power of the crossbow, some people proposed to ban the use of this weapon, because with a crossbow in hand, even the humblest slave can kill a noble warrior!

During the Han Dynasty, the army mainly used the breaking crossbow (winding with the arm) and the kicking crossbow (winding with the foot), with a maximum tension of about 180 catties and a limited range of 150 steps. These two crossbows are a bit overwhelmed.

So under the personal supervision of Xiao Yi, the disciples of the Mohists painstakingly researched for several years, and after repeated experiments, they finally invented this kind of bed crossbow based on the large-scale crossbow!

The bed crossbow is huge in size, complex in structure, weighs more than four hundred catties, and has a tension of more than one thousand catties. It requires the cooperation of eight soldiers to wind it with a winch!

Its arrows are seven feet long and as thick as a child's arm. The clusters are made of fine steel, the rod is made of hardwood, and the tail is made of iron plates. The effective range can reach [-] steps, which is more than four times that of ordinary crossbows.

It can penetrate the human body within [-] steps, single armor within [-] steps, and heavy armor within [-] steps. It can even be shot into the city wall in a row, so that the siege soldiers can climb up it. It is stronger than a ladder. Much more durable.

In this Dingjun Mountain battle, Xiao Yi was worried that his son and apprentice would not be able to stand up, so he specially dispatched [-] bed crossbows to deal with the heavy infantry of the Shu army. Xiao Yi knew exactly how much the Shu Han Group had!

Under the command of the school captains, all three hundred bed crossbows were put in place and placed at the crenels of the corridor, waiting for the Shu army to come and die!

…………

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Bai Er Xiong Bing, who dares to fight for the front!"

"Bai Er Xiong Bing, who dares to fight for the front!"

On the side of the Shu army, amidst the sound of the rumbling drums, eight thousand white-eared soldiers marched out, wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, and advancing in a neat square formation. Thousands of auxiliary soldiers were on the left and right wings, shoulder Carrying ladders, sandbags, etc.

Chen Dao raised his sword high and directed the attack himself. This general is not well-known, but he can become Zhao Yun's deputy, which shows that his skills are not ordinary!

For this attack, Chen Dao is still quite sure. The white-eared soldiers are wearing two layers of heavy armor and holding shields in their hands. Their defense is extremely strong. Ordinary bows, crossbows and swords can't hurt them at all. They are the only ones who can fight against them. Yes, I am afraid it is the Mo Dao soldier in Cao Jun.

In other words, the Bai Er Bing was formed after the Mo Dao Bing. Liu Bei stole Xiao Yi's military training ideas. Originally, he wanted to imitate the elite Xuanjia Army, Danyang Bing Army, and Digging Army, but Shu lacked horses and talents. So it didn't work out!

According to careful investigation, the Mo Dao soldiers did not go south to join the battle, but stayed in Youzhou for expansion and training, and Cao Jun's other arms were unable to fight against the white-eared soldiers. This is one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang dared to play his trump card

"Kill!--Kill!"

One thousand steps, eight hundred steps, five hundred steps... The phalanx was getting closer and closer to the corridor, and even the crenels above were clearly visible. The white-eared soldiers quickened their pace, ready to rush into the corridor in one go and defeat Cao Jun in hand-to-hand combat!

The auxiliary soldiers rushed to the front, ready to fill up the ditch in front of the corridor, and also helped erect the ladder, otherwise, it would be difficult for the white-eared soldiers in double-layer heavy armor to climb over. This is the defect of the heavy infantry up.

"Whizzing!"

"Ah!...Crossbow arrow, what kind of crossbow arrow is this, everyone quickly hide...Ah!"

Unexpectedly, just as the charge started, a large "dark cloud" floated out of the corridor, and with the sharp sound of piercing through the air, it accurately landed in the phalanx of the white-eared soldiers. At a distance of more than 300 steps, the bed crossbow could shoot even the city wall. A hole makes it easier to penetrate heavy armor and shields!

Where the fine steel arrow clusters fell, the white-eared soldiers fell one by one, some of them pierced through two or three people, like candied haws on a string. There were screams one after another!

No matter how elite the troops were, they couldn't bear such a hell-like blow. The white-eared soldiers were in disarray, and panicked, some soldiers even turned around and ran away. This has never happened since the founding of the army!

"Haha, good job, keep shooting, and nail all the Shu troops to the ground!"

Seeing that the killing effect was so good, Deng Ai slapped his hands excitedly, and even the problem of tongue insanity disappeared, and urged the soldiers to continue shooting. As long as there are a few more volleys, the white-eared soldiers will completely collapse.

It's a pity that although the bed crossbow is powerful, it also has a big flaw, that is, the rate of fire is too slow. Every time a fine steel crossbow is fired, it is necessary to use a pulley to re-twist the bow string, load the arrow, adjust, and aim... in order to proceed to the second shot. Shooting, the process is cumbersome and laborious!

The ordinary crossbow shoots five times, but the bed crossbow can only shoot once. This is the result of the hard training of the soldiers who operate it!

"Ah! -- those who retreat die, those who advance live, for the honor of the undefeated white-eared soldiers, brothers, go!"

"kill!"

Chen Dao really had some skills. Taking advantage of this opportunity to breathe, he drew his sword and killed a few deserters in a row, and then the whole team launched a second attack. He even rushed to the front of the team to boost the morale of the white-eared soldiers!

Morale is the soul of an army. If they are afraid of fleeing, the white-eared soldiers will no longer be invincible elites, so no matter how much they pay, they must take down the tunnel of Cao Ying this time!

Just like that, the bloody killing began. The white-eared soldiers rushed forward with shouts, paying a huge price for every step forward. They rushed to the vicinity of the corridor several times, but were severely repelled.

In addition to the bed crossbow, Cao Jun also has various defensive weapons such as rolling logs, falling rocks, and golden juice, especially the latest thunderbolt bottle. Fill up the ditch!

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"
