Chapter 706: The Battle of Jingnan VII.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Mu immediately handed down a military order, ordering Dian Wei's left-wing army to attack the right-wing army of the Jingnan Army.
The lieutenant who was responsible for conveying the military order immediately waved the order flag in his hand and passed the flag of "attack" to the standard-bearer of the left flank army formation as soon as possible.
At this time, Dan saw that the left wing of the Liangzhou Army Water Division was in the middle of the formation...... On a four-deck flagship, there were only a few dozen well-armored soldiers left except for one man dressed as a scribe.
The person dressed as a scribe is naturally Deng Zhi.
It turned out that several people in the Left Wing Army Command had made such a decision after some "intense" deliberations.
As the commander of the left-wing army formation, Dian Wei handed over the command of the entire army formation to Deng Zhi, and he himself ran to the vanguard of the Chinese army in the left-wing army formation, so as to fight happily.
Yan Yan went to the right front of the left flank formation. Zhen Yao and Huang Xu went to the left forward of the left flank military formation.
Although Deng Zhi has never charged into battle, he is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and he can command an army of 20,000 people, but he can also take it.
When Deng Zhi received the "attack" flag from the Chinese army, he no longer hesitated, and immediately handed down the general's order.
At three or five breaths, in the left flank of the Liangzhou Army and Water Division, a low and majestic sound of war drums and horns sounded.
The battle of Dongting Lake, at this moment, is unveiled!
Dian Wei, Yan Yan, Zhen Yao, and Huang Xu were ordered, and personally led the seven offensive phalanxes of the forwards, totaling 12,000 people, and 170 warships of various sizes, to start attacking!
The forward of the left wing army formation, with the momentum of thunder and Mount Tai, marched towards the right wing of the Jingnan Army with an indomitable momentum.
The forward formation on the left flank, like an iceberg on the ocean, was advancing straight towards the target, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
……
With the sound of war drums and horns in the formation of the Liangzhou Army and Water Division, they sounded.
In the right flank of the Jingnan Army twelve arrows away, Huang Gai also handed down the general's order...... Drumming, trumpeting, and fighting back!
Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan commanded 90 warships of various types, totaling 6,000 people, and headed in the direction of the Liangzhou Military and Naval Division.
In less than half an hour, the distance between the forwards of the two armies was less than two arrows away.
The military formation of the Liangzhou Army's naval division, according to the strategy that had been formulated before, slowly lowered the speed of the warship's advance.
After twenty or thirty breaths, the distance between the two armies was much closer, and only more than one arrow remained.
At this moment, nearly a thousand giant crossbow arrows flew out of the Liangzhou Army's naval division.
The crossbow arrows of the Liangzhou army slashed through the sky, flew over Dongting Lake, and went straight towards the Jingnan army's military formation.
Immediately afterward, there was a heart-rending and wolf-criing scream, which burst out from the Jingnan Army's military formation.
The power of giant crossbow arrows is several times greater than that of ordinary arrows.
But I saw that wherever the giant crossbow arrows of the Liangzhou army went, whether it was the armor and shields of the soldiers of the Jingnan army, or the deck of their warships, they were all pierced.
Some of the giant crossbow arrows pierced the deck and pierced into the armor of the soldiers.
Some giant crossbow arrows, after piercing the body of the enemy soldier, shoot the soldier behind them.
Of course, although the giant crossbow bolt is powerful, it also has a fatal drawback, that is...... It takes a lot of time to load and fire crossbow arrows.
Even so, in a short period of two or three hundred breaths, the Liangzhou army fired two rounds of giant crossbow arrows.
With the lethality of the three rounds of giant crossbow arrows, it only took a moment for the soldiers of the Jingnan Army to scream in pain, and their screams in panic due to fear, rose above Dongting Lake and resounded in the sky. Glamorous e-books
It's really worse than death, and it's miserable!
The so-called disaster is not a single line, and the so-called house leak coincides with overnight rain, and the so-called beating of the water dog!
Just when the soldiers of the Jingnan Army were hiding in Tibet, ghosts and wolves howling, just when they were trembling and begging to survive.
At this moment, the armor-piercing crossbow arrows of the Liangzhou army, as well as a crossbow with fifteen rounds of repeating crossbow arrows, followed one after another.
Compared with the repeater, the crossbow bolts fired by the armor-piercing crossbow cannot catch up in terms of quantity, but its range is longer and the lethality is much more ruthless!
A repeater with fifteen rounds of crossbow naturally has its natural advantages, that is...... The number of arrows it fires will be much higher.
As waves of arrows flew through the sky, more and more soldiers of the Jingnan Army could no longer see the rising red sun.
At this time, if you overlook the Jingnan army formation. This is such a tragic scene......
The soldiers on those small boats, no matter how they dodge, will be shot into hedgehogs.
Most of the soldiers on the big ship, who hid in the cabins, survived; Cowering behind the side of the ship, some were killed or wounded by crossbow arrows, and many survived.
Whether it was the soldiers of the Jingnan Army, or Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan, they would never have thought that the range of the bows and arrows of the Liangzhou Army could be so far.
The range of the bows and arrows of the Liangzhou army was at least fifty paces farther than the range of the bows and arrows in their army.
Therefore, in terms of attacking each other with bows and arrows, the Liangzhou army, whether it is against the Jingnan army or other princes, is a crushing situation that cannot be reversed!
On the battlefield, time is of the essence!
The sudden attack of the Liangzhou army caught Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan by surprise.
Suddenly, the two had no time to make effective countermeasures.
The main generals are still like this, let alone middle and low-level commanders and ordinary soldiers. The death of these people, the six gods of these people without a master, is nothing more normal.
By the time Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan wanted to make a decision and curb the worsening situation, it was already too late.
Because, in this short period of nearly a thousand breaths, from giant crossbow arrows, to armor-piercing crossbows, to repeating crossbows, the Liangzhou army has sent out tens of thousands of arrows.
Tens of thousands of arrows, covering 90 warships and throwing them into the military formation of 6,000 people, naturally cannot be ignored, or dare not think about it.
The crossbowmen of the Liangzhou Army knew, and Dian Wei, Yan Yan, Zhen Yao, and Huang Xu also knew.
As victims, Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan couldn't be clearer.
According to a rough estimate, 6,000 soldiers are probably less than 3,000.
So far, in addition to retreating and being able to save some strength for their lords, Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan really can't find a way to attack.
Xu Sheng and Xian Yudan, every time they hesitated, more soldiers of the Jingnan Army lost their lives and could never return to their homeland.
If you hesitate, you will lose!
Once purgatory begins, it's hard to end it easily!
Just when the soldiers of the Jingnan Army were fighting against the Grim Reaper who was coming at any time.
In the formation of the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division, Dian Wei, Yan Yan, Zhen Yao, and Huang Xu passed down a military order!
The serial boat in the Liangzhou Army Naval Division has been dispatched!
