Song Xian and Hou Cheng sat in the woods, looking at the huge infantry phalanx at the bottom of the mountain, looking excited and nervous. They are all from strong backgrounds, but because they are not the eldest sons, they cannot inherit the family, so they have to join the army to seek their background. However, with the power of their families, when they first joined the army, they became military commanders who led thousands of people.

This time, Zhang Yang, the Taishou of the Shangdang, was ordered to lead 5,000 Shangdang soldiers to the north for reinforcements, and the two of them were also high-ranking generals in the Shangdang soldiers, and they were directly under the jurisdiction of Zhang Zhijun.

Now that the army is under the command of Li Yi, the general of Zhenbei, they are assigned to a captain surnamed Gao who does not look much different in age from them.

The two have always heard that the main generals in the Youzhou army are very young, and this time, they have really seen how young the generals in the Youzhou army are.

Although the other party is very young, they dare not have the slightest disrespect. Because these generals in the Youzhou Army are all from the battlefield, they are different from people like them who enter the army through the back door to get positions.

"First time fighting?" Gao Shun looked at them with a smile and asked with a pleasant face.

The two nodded repeatedly.

"You're much better than I was." Gao Shun pointed at Song Xian and Hou Cheng and said with a smile, "As soon as the war drums sounded, I almost turned around and ran away in fright, and even my soul flew." ”

Song Xian and Hou Cheng laughed when they saw that his expression was funny and his movements were very exaggerated. He asked, "Captain Gao, will the Xianbei people rush to the mountain?" ”

"A trench was dug at the bottom of the mountain, and the cavalry of the Xianbei people could not rush up." Gao Shun shook his head and said, "We don't need to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, we just need to let these two thousand strong ballistae and repeater cars exert their power." ”

Song Xian glanced up at the chariots densely packed on the hillside, and said excitedly: "This time, the Xianbei people will definitely have no return." ”

"Lieutenant, where did you get this chariot?" Hou Cheng asked curiously, "Although these ballistas are amazingly powerful, they are very inconvenient to move, and they are basically used to defend the city. ”

"These are all weapons that General Zhenbei sent from Youzhou." Gao Shun said with a smile. "Take the words of General Zhenbei, these guys are all trump cards, and they are things that want the lives of the Xianbei and the Huns."

In fact, now Gao Shun has a feeling of dreaming, he didn't expect the famous General Zhenbei to trust him so much. After meeting for the first time and passing some examinations, he was appointed as a lieutenant and became the commander of the 5,000 party soldiers brought over by Zhang Taishou.

And he's not the only one who gets reused. The eldest brother Lu Bu and the third brother Zhang Liao were both reused by General Zhenbei. Especially the third brother Zhang Liao, now he has directly become the commander of the world-famous Youzhou Iron Cavalry. The eldest brother was not awarded an official position by General Zhenbei for the time being because he had not recovered from his serious injuries. But Gao Shun believes that as long as the eldest brother recovers from his injury, with his ability, he can at least be a captain under General Zhenbei.

Thinking that in the future, his three brothers could lead a group of soldiers and horses alone and follow the famous Zhenbei General to fight, Gao Shun couldn't help but be excited.

………………

The Hu iron cavalry is like a flood that bursts the embankment, surging all the way, and its huge roar is earth-shattering. Shake the mountains.

The mighty torrent rushed in with a thunderous momentum.

Putou beat the horse out of the array and stood on the embankment of the Hutuo River.

The sudden appearance of the Han army in Yuanping greatly surprised him. Li Yi did not ambush Guangwu City, which was more geographically located. But he set up a formation here, does he want to use the narrow terrain here to stop his progress again?

The impact of the army has been completed, and no matter how the Han army resists, it can no longer stop the southward movement of the Xianbei army.

What does Li Yi want to do?

Putou looked at the undulating Changliang Mountain. Listening to the sound of the turbulent water of the Hutuo River, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, Li Yi has let the infantry stop us here. It was nothing more than an attempt to gain time for the main force of the Han army to withdraw to Jinyang as soon as possible. Twilight Gaiting hurried Pegasus and said with an eager expression.

"King, Li Yi's main force must not be far from here, after we capture Yuanping, we must speed up the attack in order to quickly take Jinyang City."

Putou hesitated for a moment, but did not make a sound.

"King, this is definitely not suitable for ambushes." Twilight Gateing saw through Pu Tou's thoughts at a glance and said loudly, "You see, here is the Hutuo River on the right and the mountains on the left, the terrain is narrow, and Li Yi's tens of thousands of cavalry can't find an ambush site at all. If he wants to attack us, there is only one direction. Twilight Gate, pointing to the way the army came from, smiled lightly, "That's behind us." ”

Pu Tou followed the gesture of Dusk Gaiting, glanced at the majestic Juzhu Mountain in the distance, and no longer had any doubts in his heart, he waved his hand and said to the herald behind him:

"Immediately order the Ritsuri to deduce, so that the Chinese army and the rear army can rush to Yuanping to support."

"Blow the trumpet, attack!"

After hearing the order to attack, the 10,000 iron horsemen of Hegequan's department, who had been rushing to the front, immediately accelerated the speed of their horses. Next to him, were ten thousand Huns.

The two armies galloped like two whistling hurricanes, sweeping towards Yuanping City.

………………

The drums of war beat and the rousing drums soared into the sky.

The horn of the Xianbei people is not to be outdone, wave after wave. The two voices were intertwined, one after the other, like two fierce warriors fighting fiercely in the clouds.

Su Gu widened his eyes with fear, looking at the Xianbei cavalry who were killing like an overwhelming man, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.

As the earth shook beneath his feet, so did his heart. The panicked heart in his chest was overwhelmed, as if it was about to explode at any moment. The intense feeling of suffocation made him dizzy. He opened his mouth wide and gulped in the scorching air of the battlefield, and he even smelled the thick blood in the air.

A huge roar hit his ears, hit his mind, his hearing was gradually lost, his will was fading little by little, he felt a thousand pounds of boulders suddenly fall from the void and press himself tightly to the ground. He couldn't bear the weight, he felt the pain that went deep into his bone marrow, he felt like he was going to die soon, he wanted to give up the struggle and close his eyes and die forever.

He closed his eyes vaguely, but he saw his wife's smiling face, he wanted to go home, he wanted to survive, he wanted to give his wife the money in his arms, he had not yet taught his children how to plow the fields.

He roared with all the strength of his body, and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Come, come, come......" he cried out hoarsely, shouting, there was only one belief in his heart, he was going to live, he was going to go home.

The Xianbei cavalry was getting closer and closer, but he still felt that the enemy was running too slowly, too far away from him. He couldn't stand the long wait, he couldn't stand the pain and suffering, he felt like a lit bonfire burning all over his body, the flames inspiring his most primitive strength and confidence.

He was screaming, screaming frantically, and he found that only this hearty cry could temporarily free him from the pain of the flames.

"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......"

………………

Long arrows roared in the air, crossbow arrows roared in the air, and arrows on Changliang Mountain were like locusts.

The soldiers were howling, the horses were neighing, and the flesh and blood on the battlefield after the people turned over on their backs were miserable.

"Haste...... Hurry forward......"

"Rush over...... Rush through the ...... of arrows"

The Xianbei people looked like crazy, beating horses and galloping wildly, ignoring the long arrows in the sky.

"Putting ......"

At Gao Shun's order, five hundred crossbow carts let out an earth-shattering howl, and the huge ballista cars trembled violently, and at the same time spewed out ten thousand thick crossbow arrows.

"Boom ......"

The bolts are like lightning, fleeting.

The Xianbei people were hit by arrows on the flank, and they fell down in an instant, like a solid wall that suddenly collapsed, whether it was a soldier or a war horse, as long as they were shot, all of them were pierced and died, and no one was spared.

Such a tragic scene made the initiator Gao Shun stunned.

He had always heard that the ballistas made by the imperial court were very powerful, but he had never seen them with his own eyes. Now, he's an eye-opener.

However, he still didn't understand why General Zhenbei asked him to use only 500 ballista to fire arrows at the beginning of the war. If the two thousand crossbow carts fired arrows together, he was confident that the 10,000 iron horsemen who would take the lead in the Xianbei charge would not be able to escape the ballista's fire.

………………

Putou was stunned.

Twilight's eyes widened suddenly, and the smile on his face froze, and his eyes were full of terror.

"Ballista." Twilight Getting whispered, then let out a howl of fear, "The Ballista, it's the Han Ballista!" ”

"This is a repeater?" Pu Tou pointed into the distance and exclaimed in disbelief, "This is the repeater?" ”

"This is a crossbow cart, king, the Han people have not been useful for many years." Twilight Getting shouted in horror, "Order the soldiers not to form a dense formation, and to attack the Han Chinese phalanx with a scattered array to reduce casualties." ”

Zhang Fei ran up the hillside excitedly.

"Shoot ...... Shoot one more round...... Shoot me ......"

The five hundred crossbow carts opened their bloody mouths and let out a terrifying howl again, and the bloodthirsty beast became angry.

Gao Shun ran to the top of the mountain and watched the patches of Xianbei people fall to the ground, and his heart was ecstatic. He raised the battle flag of the Great Han Dynasty and shouted wildly: "The Great Han Tianwei ...... I'm a big man......"

………………

Under the fire of 500 crossbow carts, the Xianbei people paid a heavy price in order to rush through the short distance of more than 200 steps in front of the Han army, and they stepped on the remains of more than 2,000 comrades, and finally rushed to the front of the phalanx.

The bloody battle begins.

Standing on the city wall behind the phalanx, looking at the battlefield in front of him, his expression was still so calm and leisurely, as if he was enjoying the beautiful scenery of Changliang Mountain.

Behind the walls, there were three piles of giant trees as high as a hill.

"Due South, when are we going to light the pile?" Frustrated with the horse, he walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "The two phalanxes in front are about to be broken by the Xianbei people." ”

The judge looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Wait, when the Xianbei people are exhausted, we will launch the final blow." (To be continued.) )
