It's an uphill battle.

Looking at the lineup on the opposite side, Cao Bin, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but shudder, this was not fear, but the excitement of suddenly having the feeling of meeting an opponent in chess. A shiver alerted every cell of his body, and they all got excited.

This is not a Yangzhou soldier, this is a genuine battle-hardened Tang Army in the North.

It is no wonder that they dare to fight with themselves in a situation where their troops are far inferior to their own.

It is impossible for the Tang army to have more men and horses in Yangzhou, and this is probably where their elite is. Kill them, Yangzhou collapsed.

It's a battle that works in one fell swoop.

He raised the whip in his hand, then swung it down.

The drums are beating!

The flag of the former army Shen Yi was held high, and then the entire three thousand front troops were divided into five phalanxes, two in the front and three in the back, and slowly advanced forward.

Tan Huaide of the left army and Xiao Zhi of the right army lagged behind the front army by more than 100 steps, and also pressed forward.

As soon as Cao Bin made a move, the whole army pressed on him, and as a reserve, there were only 1,000 cavalry under his personal command.

These thousand cavalry are the soul of these 10,000 troops, and they are also a sharp blade to solve battles.

Cao Bin admired the army on the opposite side, but he didn't think that they could resist their pace, no matter how good the soldiers were, they also needed generals to command them, if the opposite side was Liu Chenglin, You Yong, Tu Lichun Shizhuang and others, even if it was that Li Hao, he would naturally be vigilant, step by step, first consider not losing, and then consider the problem of winning.

But who's on the other side now?

A person named Ren Xiaonian doesn't know which horn popped out of it.

It's really a joke that such a small character dares to brush his tiger whiskers. If you deal with such a person, you also need to be careful, and it will be too much to give the other party face.

is the three partial generals under his command, and they are also more famous than this Ren Xiaonian.

Ren Xiaonian was a little embarrassed.

The other party is blatant and despissing people! I wanted to crush myself with one blow.

"Fuck it!" Scolding hatefully, Ren Xiaonian glanced at the big banner of Cao Zi fluttering in the distance, "When this battle is over, Lao Tzu will let you remember who I am." ”

Ren Xiaonian didn't have many cavalry, and now behind him, he was full of two hundred horsemen. However, these two hundred cavalry were all drawn from the reserve of the Chengde wolf cavalry, which was naturally inferior to the Chengde wolf cavalry, but it was also a first-class cavalry in the world.

"Raise your spear!" Ge Cai's sharp shouting voice in front of him pulled Ren Xiaonian's somewhat distracted thoughts back.

A full platoon of pikemen, with their spears raised. Behind the spearman, the sword and shield soldier lifted his shield, and the horizontal knife in his hand struck the shield in unison, making a clattering sound, and followed closely.

"Forward!"

Some monotonous whistles sounded, and with the whistle, eight hundred forward soldiers marched forward with neat steps.

"Crossbow!" Behind the eight hundred vanguards, two hundred and fifty crossbowmen sat on the ground, each of them kneeling with another soldier half-kneeling, and in front of them lay a box containing crossbow arrows.

Hearing the order, the two hundred and fifty crossbowmen lay down backwards at the same time, their backs to the ground, their feet on the bow arms, roared, their waists and legs exerted force at the same time, and the bowstring was pulled apart, and another soldier beside him immediately took out a crossbow arrow from the box and put it in the arrow slot.

The crossbow of the Tang army has a range of more than one hundred and fifty steps, and if you want to pull it away with the strength of your arm, unless you are a wrestler of the three armies, don't even think about it.

"Put!" The officer's monotonous voice, without the slightest emotion, rang out.

With a muffled buzz, two hundred and fifty crossbow arrows shot into the air, flew to the apex, and then turned around suddenly

Cao Bin's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it had been hit hard.

A crossbow with a range of more than one hundred and fifty paces?

This is not an ordinary crossbow, this is a pedal crossbow.

It's not that there is no such pedal crossbow in the Xuanwu Army, but this thing is more expensive than the ordinary crossbow, and it takes three full years to build such a crossbow, from material selection, material maintenance to production, and it takes too much manpower and material resources to equip it at all. Not to mention such a pedal crossbow in the Xuanwu Army, it is an ordinary crossbow, and it is not equipped much.

There is only one reason, there is no money.

In the army, more people are equipped with mulberry bows, which are cheaper.

Of course, there is a reason why you are expensive.

Cheap naturally has cheap bad.

The mulberry bow is a soft bow with a short range, low lethality, and average armor-piercing effect.

Just thinking of armor piercing, his heart skipped another beat.

Shen Yi's reaction was not unpleasant, when the crossbow arrows flew into the sky, the front of his men had already raised their shields, and the pikemen raised their spears in their hands, dancing desperately in the air.

Generally speaking, there are only three ways to block the feathered arrows of the covering shot, the first is a shield, the second is the dense dance of the pikemen to stir the feather arrows away, and the third is to carry them hard with heavy armor. As for the kind of person who can use a single weapon to swallow flying feather arrows, it basically belongs to the legend in the book, and if you really see it in reality, there is only one explanation, the blind cat just touched a dead mouse.

The third method does not apply to the Xuanwu Army.

Because in addition to the generals, ordinary soldiers even have very little iron armor, generally speaking, they are all leather armor, Zhu Wen can be regarded as a very low cost, and the Xuanwu army is all three-layer leather armor. However, Cao Bin is currently leading, but only the thousand cavalry behind him is the Xuanwu army, and the rest are adapted from the Wuning army. I barely managed to get together the leather armor.

The enemy's crossbow arrows flew down with a sharp whistling, and when he saw the dense crossbow arrows, Cao Bin's eyes straightened, this was not an ordinary crossbow arrow, it was actually an armor-piercing cone.

Such an armor-piercing cone, not to mention leather armor, is iron armor, which can also shoot through.

He opened his mouth wide, but he could only watch as the armor-piercing cone fell, and then saw his men fall in a scream.

The only thing that made him happy was that the broken queue was quickly replaced. The year's training in Wuding was finally not in vain. These people, after all, were also carefully selected from the Wuning Army.

The second round of crossbow bolts is here again.

Cao Bin's eyes widened and looked ahead, Shen Yi's military formation was a little scattered, this was something that could not be done, because he had to speed up his pace and rush over to avoid this situation of being beaten passively. But as soon as the speed is fast, it is impossible to keep the queue so neat.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, seventy steps!

Finally, Cao Bin was relieved to see that the archers in Shen Yi's team began to fight back.

Even if it is a mulberry bow, the lethality above this distance should not be underestimated.

The other party hung his head slightly and walked forward in unison. Unlike the Xuanwu Army, which shouted hoarsely, the other party moved forward in silence.

Like a black wall.

Cao Bin took a deep breath again, and the feather arrows fell, but the casualties of the other party were minimal, and many feather arrows fell on the other party and were actually bounced off.

Armour!

The Tang army on the opposite side was actually all wearing iron armor.

The crossbow arrows of the Don army were still being fired endlessly, and in a short time, they had already fired five rounds. On the road of the Xuanwu army's advance, hundreds of people lay down, some of them were motionless, and some of them were still tossing and wailing on the ground.

Blood, dripping quietly.

Wisps, strands, and then slowly come together to form patches of dazzling red.

The Xuanwu army ran fast.

Compared to them, the Tang army seemed to be shrinking forward.

"Thorn!" A shrill roar rang out.

The spears of the Tang army stabbed out fiercely, and only then did they let out a roar.

"Yo ho!"

Fifty spears pierced out almost simultaneously on a section fifty men wide.

The spear of the Xuanwu army was also pierced.

No one dodges, and no one can dodge.

The two sides stabbed each other.

Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky.

There was a constant click, the sound of a gun breaking.

What can be broken is the barrel of the Xuanwu Army's gun.

The barrel of the gun of the Tang army bent a great arc.

In the first round of pokes, the Tang army had the absolute upper hand, because their team was more neat, and when they stabbed the spears in their hands, the number of enemies they faced was far lower than theirs. Therefore, the Xuanwu army, which rushed to the front, each had to face several spears at the same time.

Tang Jun's gun shot straight, and Xuanwujun's body was bounced out from afar, and he fell heavily in the queue of robes behind him.

Lean sideways and draw the gun.

At the same time as they turned sideways, the spears of the second row of Tang Army had already pierced out the spears in their hands again from the gaps exposed by their side shots.

Yo ho!

With this stabbing momentum, the pikemen of the second row reached the first row.

Fifty pikemen, five or six fell. But their opponents died nearly thirty people.

When the monotonous yo ho sound sounded for the second time, the Xuanwu army fell dozens of people again, but this time, only one unlucky ghost in the Tang army was poked in the throat by the opponent's spear and fell.

When the third yo ho sound sounded, the Xuanwu army had already recessed inward.

Xuanwu Army's sword and shield hands went around to the sides, and Tang Jun's sword and shield hands also met at the same time.

Behind them, the crossbowmen who had finished shooting their crossbows carried their crossbows to their backs, then lifted their swords and shields from their sides and rushed forward.

The pikemen swooped with every stab, but the sword and shield soldiers were silent. These people are themselves veterans of a hundred battles, and they will not use their strength to do anything that will not help them in battle.

The silent opponent is actually more frightening to the opponent.

Ge Cai did not have a shield, she held a knife in both hands, slashing left and right. At her side, several of her Tang soldiers carried shields to guard her left and right, allowing her to concentrate on moving forward, whether it was left or right, or behind, or cold arrows from somewhere, these people would handle it for her. For every one person who falls, another person will immediately fill in.

Ge Cai quickly rushed to the front of the line.
