Chapter 498: The Defect of the Bed Crossbow

The roar of 2,000 people is enough for the soldiers in the city to hear, not to mention that the state army turned over and over in just two sentences, and after a while, the news of the state army fighting outside the city spread all over the city, some people only dared to show their neighbors on the street with their eyes after learning these news, these days, the atrocities of the Jizhou army in the city have made the people afraid, and the fear is accompanied by deep anger.

The people of Dangyin were resistant to the Bingzhou Army before, but after the Merge State Army entered the Dangyin, they gradually had a sense of belonging to the Bingzhou Army, especially the ordinary people, the land in their hands, but the Marquis of Jin gave it, which had never been done before.

When the Jizhou army entered the city, some of the soldiers of the Jizhou army hid in the people's homes, and when the excited Jizhou army soldiers broke into the people's homes to have fun, they suddenly killed, and they were caught off guard that the Jizhou army suffered a lot of losses in the people's homes, and the people who hid the soldiers also suffered, and in the end, the soldiers of the Jizhou army saw the people and some of the blue and red went up to kill, and after searching the house to make sure that there was no merge of the state army, they dared to stretch out the devil's hand to the remaining women.

And the fields in the hands of the people were also taken away by the Jizhou army after the Jizhou army entered the house, and the family in the city took advantage of the wind of the Jizhou army to transform itself and become a high-ranking family in the eyes of the people.

The simple and repetitive two sentences make the defenders in Dangyin City as uncomfortable as eating flies, and the more you don't want to listen, the more he will drill into your ears and linger.

"Why is there so much noise outside the city?" Yuan Shao vaguely heard a shout coming from outside the city and asked.

"Lord, it's the state army scolding outside the city." Feng Ji Dao.

"The scolding array has such a momentum? How many people are in the state army? Yuan Shao wondered.

"There are only 2,000 people, and the commander of the army is Zhang Liao!"

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, after Zhang Liao robbed the camp with 100 cavalry that day, Zhang Liao's name also spread among the Jizhou army, and Jizhou's general Yan Liang was lost in Zhang Liao's hands that day, breaking through Dangyin City, Yuan Shao was most annoyed that he did not find Yan Liang and left Zhang Liao, if he could persuade Zhang Liao to surrender, the Jizhou army could get a general, although it was an enemy, Yuan Shao was also extremely appreciative of Zhang Liao's ability, and he commanded well, and defeated the Jizhou army that attacked the city several times.

Sometimes Yuan Shao even sighs, why there are so many talents in Jizhou, but now there are no generals who can handle it, and the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Jizhou are all folded in the hands of the Bingzhou army.

Listening quietly for a moment, Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Two thousand people in the Bingzhou Military Region dare to be so arrogant, who is the guard guarding the West Gate?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, it's General Zhang He!" Xu Youdao.

"Order Zhang He, go to fight Zhang Liao, and the army will go out of the city with thirty bed crossbows." Yuan Shaodao.

After Zhang He got the order, he ordered 2,000 soldiers and horses and killed the Bingzhou army.

Zhang Liao had already looked at the bed crossbow in the rear of the Jizhou army, revealing a sneer, the Jizhou army wanted to use the bed crossbow to defeat the Bingzhou army, so he wanted to let the Jizhou army see the power of the wolf ride, the reason why the bed crossbow has great power is mainly by surprise, as long as you are careful, it is difficult for the bulky bed crossbow to damage the cavalry on the battlefield.

"Kill!" Zhang Liao ordered Li Qiang to lead 1,500 soldiers to suppress the formation, and led 500 wolf cavalry to kill the Jizhou army.

Take the bow and arrows, change the blade, the action of the wolf rider is done in one go, giving people a sense of flowing water, the situation of the Jizhou army on the opposite side is not so good, there are only more than 100 cavalry who follow Zhang He to fight, and the wolf rider has a rain of arrows, so that they have lost two percent.

Zhang He ordered the soldiers to keep the spears to resist the state army, the Jizhou army and Gongsun Zan fought a lot of times, Zhang He also had a certain experience in resisting the cavalry, the pikemen went forward, the archers were behind, when the cavalry approached, the spearmen could give the cavalry effective killing, and the archers were long-range shooting.

Under the rain of arrows of the Jizhou army, the wolf rider lost more than ten people, and the wolf rider also took the opportunity to approach the pikemen.

Zhang Liao looked at the soldier holding a spear in front of him trembling, and with a wave of the hook and sickle in his hand, he mercilessly took away the life of the pikeman.

In the face of the onslaught of wolf cavalry, there were very few pikemen who really dared to come forward to fight, and the long weapons in their hands could not stop them from the heartfelt fear when they saw the cavalry rumbling coming.

"Thorn!" Zhang He shouted.

After receiving the order, the pikemen in the front row closed their eyes and stabbed the spear in their hand forward, and then waiting for them was most likely death, which is also the fate of the pikeman, killing less than a thousand, and losing two thousand.

The pikemen face the cavalry, even if they stab the cavalry, the galloping horses will make them fall on the battlefield, if they stab the horses, the cavalry will also teach them how to behave, of course, these two results will bring trauma to the enemy, as for not stabbing anything, then it is embarrassing, can only die in vain.

Zhang He watched the pikemen keep falling, and the bed crossbow behind him was also ready, and shouted: "Disperse!" ”

The officers and men of the Jizhou Army, who had already been advised, scattered to both sides.

What made Zhang He unacceptable was that the wolf cavalry, who was originally fighting in front of the battle, did not rush forward, but divided into two parts, followed the retreating soldiers, and had a posture of not giving up until these soldiers were eliminated.

Zhang He instantly understood Zhang Liao's intentions, but the soldiers of the wolf rider were too powerful, even if there were two thousand foot soldiers in his hand, Zhang He did not have the confidence to block it, and watched the soldiers being slaughtered under the sword and gun of the wolf rider, so he had to order the army to retreat after fighting for a while.

Pursuing to a distance of two hundred steps from the city wall, Zhang Liao ordered the wolf cavalry to stop, and in the battle, the Jizhou army lost five hundred soldiers, which also released the anger accumulated in Zhang Liao's heart a little.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and after scolding for a while, he returned to the camp.

Yuan Shao learned the news of the defeat of the Jizhou army, and did not blame Zhang He, but also saw the limitations of the bed crossbow, when the army clashed, the bed crossbow could have a surprise effect, but once the cavalry was prepared, it was very difficult to take advantage.

The next day, when he learned that Zhang Liao was scolding outside the city again, Yuan Shao said angrily: "Order Ju Yi to lead the Dengsheng soldiers to battle, and be sure to defeat the Bingzhou army!" ”

Ju Yi is the biggest contributor to the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, but Ju Yi is arrogant, he thinks that Yuan Shao's reward is not very fair to him, and often complains among the soldiers, after these things reach Yuan Shao's ears, he is a little dissatisfied with Ju Yi, so that Ju Yi is not reused, but the first dead soldier under his command is the foundation of his foothold in Jizhou, if it is replaced by another general, the combat effectiveness of the first dead soldier will not be so strong.
