Chapter 550: A Drop of Water in Winter
The Shu army has 20,000 archers with divine arms, but in order to keep attacking the arrows, the 20,000 archers shoot in rotation, and one shot is 10,000 arrows.
Although the soldiers didn't have much time to control the Divine Arm Bow, the Divine Arm Bow was not much difficult to operate, and such a large target of the Wei army was there, and there was no need for accuracy, and it was all over if it shot in the direction of the Wei army.
The chirping of arrows resounded in the sky.
Cao Zhang turned a deaf ear and rushed to the Han army camp first: "Don't be afraid, rush over for me!" ”
Due to the heavy responsibility of the tiger and leopard rider, leather armor is the most basic equipment for the tiger and leopard rider, and the iron helmet is worn on the head. The chest is inlaid with iron plates. And the vital point of the war horse is also protected with iron.
Cao Zhang is confident that arrows can't shoot through his iron armor, as for leather armor, although arrows can be shot, they still have good defense, not to mention that the clothes worn in winter should be thicker, even if they are shot, the leather armor and clothes will be embedded, only a slight flesh wound.
It's a pity that Cao Zhang didn't pay attention to what kind of bow the Han army used.
The power of the Divine Arm Bow is much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows, which can be called the most in the world.
One by one, the arrows fell into the tiger and leopard horses, and the arrows that hit the iron armor did not do much, but the arrows that hit the soldiers' leather armor directly pierced the protection of the leather armor and directly pierced the soldiers.
A scream rang out among the tigers and leopards.
Cao Zhang took the lead, and naturally took the lead, and an arrow came quickly, hitting his left arm, directly piercing his arm.
This left arm, Cao Zhang was shot by Huang Xu just once last time, and now he is injured again, and Cao Zhang, who is in pain, breaks out in a cold sweat.
Cao Zhanggang tried to pull out the arrow, but an arrow hit his right arm again.
The war horse under the crotch was also hit by several arrows, knocking Cao Zhang to the ground.
"What kind of bow is this, and why is it so powerful!" Cao Zhang fell to the ground, looking at the arrow in the horse's belly that pierced the leather armor and entered nearly half of the flesh, his face was full of horror.
"Go back, go back!"
Cao Zhang's arms were injured, and he was no longer able to lift the machete weighing dozens of catties, so he could only pull out the sword at his waist and retreat to the rear on foot.
During the retreat, several arrows hit Cao Zhang, but fortunately, his vital parts were protected by iron armor, and none of the shots were critical parts.
If an ordinary person was hit by so many arrows, even if he didn't die, he would definitely have no ability to act, but Cao Zhang's physique was strong, but he survived.
It's just that the tiger and leopard rider is not as good as Cao Zhang's physique, under such a dense rain of arrows, basically eighty percent of the tiger and leopard knights have been hit by arrows, such a powerful power, as long as it is shot, it can pierce people, even if it is not critical, it also makes the tiger and leopard knights lose the ability to act.
Thousands of soldiers lay wailing in the snow, blood draining, pain and cold consuming their lives.
The five thousand men and horses charged violently, and under the several rounds of fire from the Divine Arm Bow, only a few hundred fled back in disarray.
Chen Tai and other generals are responsible for commanding the Chinese army, and they are also constantly advancing in the direction of the Han army camp. Just waited for Cao Zhang to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to break through the Han army camp, and then led the troops to kill them in one go.
But after a while, the tiger and leopard rode back in embarrassment.
Chen Tai couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Cao Zhang only led hundreds of people back in embarrassment, and all of them were injured: "Master Hou, you are wearing iron armor, how can this be?" ”
"Today, I, Cao Zhang, am going to die here!" Cao Zhang didn't answer Chen Tai's words, and fell to the ground with a loud roar.
"Master Hou!" Chen Tai was shocked, and hurriedly helped Cao Zhang up, only to see that Cao Zhang was hit by more than a dozen arrows all over his body, and most of the arrows hit the shoulders, legs, waist and other parts.
But there was an arrow that broke through the protection of the iron armor very trickily, and shot Cao Zhang's back through the gap in the iron armor, and entered the flesh for a few inches, but I was afraid that it would hurt the heart and lungs.
Chen Tai hurriedly instructed the soldiers: "Quickly take the Hou Ye down for treatment!" ”
Shi Bao checked a few injured soldiers and said, "What kind of magic weapon did the Shu army get?" Such a powerful attack, the leather armor can't defend against it at all, and it can even pass through the gaps in the iron armor! ”
Hu Zun said with a solemn face: "The tiger and leopard cavalry is the reliance of our army to break through the interception of the Shu army, and now the tiger and leopard cavalry is almost completely wiped out, how can this be good!" ”
Chen Tai said with a calm face: "Send someone to inform the general first!" The tiger and leopard cavalry was destroyed, and there was also a Shu army chasing behind, only relying on grain and grass to block the way, and it could not delay much time, so it could only be rushed with foot soldiers. ”
Shi Bud gritted his teeth and said, "I'll lead the team to rush!" Come with me, brothers! ”
Shi Bao said that, and led a Wei army to rush in the direction of the Han army camp.
The foot soldiers of the Wei army all have shields, and the defensive power of the shield is stronger than that of the armor, even if it is a divine arm bow, it can not easily hurt the Wei army.
Under the cover of shields, the Wei army successfully blocked the damage of the arrows and approached the Han army camp.
It's just that the attack power of the foot soldiers is too small, and they can block the arrows, but they can't cause an effective attack on the Han army camp.
Lin Xiao guarded the camp with 20,000 horses in the camp, and Shi Bao led people to attack, facing Zhuge Liang's well-designed camp, there was no way at all.
"Give me a crockpot to mess up the Wei army's formation!" Lin Yuan on the mountain range, seeing that the archers could not effectively inflict damage on the Wei army's foot soldiers, ordered the soldiers to use clay pots to attack.
The crockpots were filled with ice water, and the Han soldiers prepared many small catapults, which they used as stones and threw them at the Wei army.
The clay pot was not closed, and when it fell, the water inside spilled out and fell into the Wei army.
Since the Han army was on the southern side of the mountain, the Wei army only needed to raise its shield to the south side, and it could be a good defense against the attack of arrows.
But water is different, water does not have a flight trajectory like arrows, and the water from the crockpot is spilled from the crockpot as if it were raining, and the shield is not fully defensible.
In winter, when ice water falls on the skin, although it will not hurt, the feeling is very uncomfortable, especially when it falls from the neck, people will unconsciously shrink their heads and brains, as if there are insects crawling in.
In later generations, the Ice Palm was a stunt for winter sneak attacks.
And this ice water fell from the sky, and it was mixed with ice, and many of it fell on the necks of the soldiers.
"Oops, I'm cold!"
"What the hell!"
When the ice water entered the clothes from the neck, a biting cold hit, and the soldier unconsciously shrank his head and unconsciously reached out to grab it.
As a result, there was a flaw in the Wei army's formation.
"Shoot me!" Lin Yuan saw the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to shoot again.
Dense arrows fell, and although the shields were cut off from most of them, many of them still hit the Wei army.
The shield array is composed of countless shields, and when one shield is missing, there will be gaps, revealing the positions of other people, so that the domino effect appears.
