It was dark, and more than 100 rubber boats landed on a large stretch of river beach. The sound of shouting and shrill whistles and the dull sound of bull's horns resonated constantly. Between the shaking of the torches, the crowd was surging. All of them are looking for their own formation.

Fortunately, at this time, Yuan Shao's main force was still in the big camp in the distance, and in more than half an hour, only a few patrols of Yuan Shao's army came over, and all of them were killed and repelled by a rain of sharp arrows.

Xu Huang finally gathered nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses and formed a tight formation. There were several rubber boats and the people on the boats who didn't know where to run, maybe they capsized while crossing the river, maybe they got lost in the night. In short, I can't see anyone at this time.

Xu Huang didn't have time to go to them. The rubber boat has returned to the opposite bank to meet the next wave of soldiers and horses crossing the river, and before the next wave of men and horses arrives, Xu Huang can only rely on his own strength to block the counterattack of Yuan Shao's army.

Yuan Shao's ability is far stronger than recorded in the history books.

can beat Prime Minister Cao Cheng for many years, if it is not for the fact that he can dominate the world in two or five boys, how can he have no ability? It's just because he's a loser that he's been smeared and depressed all the time. In fact, Yuan Shao is the best choice in terms of personal vision and personal ability.

After receiving the early warning, Yuan Shao soon began to mobilize the army, preparing to drive all the Gaoyang troops that rushed ashore down the river.

After the river port was sealed, there was only a small section of the river beach on the other side of Hakuba where ships could dock. Yuan Shao had already formulated a battle plan, and after discovering that the Gaoyang army had crossed the river, he quickly gathered the first army of troops and horses and rushed towards the river bank with murderous spirits.

The first wave rushed out of the Haoqiang children who were commanded by Chun Yuqiong and all over Hebei who joined Yuan Shao.

Martial arts prevailed in Hebei, and most of these wealthy sons and daughters liked to dance with guns and sticks, ride horses and shoot arrows since they were young. Individual combat capability is not weak. In addition, they are all sons of Haoqiang, and there is nothing else in the family, but there is a lot of money. Poor and rich in martial arts. Almost everyone wore iron armor, held strong soldiers, and rode horses under their crotches. Many people are on the battlefield for the first time, and they feel that they have a great opportunity to show their martial arts and start to make a name for themselves.

Chun Yuqiong has no talent. His martial arts are average. The brain is also average. That is, he was born from a good background to get into today's position.

If it is a commander's well-trained soldiers and horses, it is easy to say, but this group has no concept of an army at all, and does not understand what it means to cooperate in battle, and only thinks that they will single-handedly take the head of the generals among the ten thousand armies. Since then, the sons and daughters of Haoqiang who have become famous. Where is he in command?

Yuan Shao put these people in the first wave of attacks, and in fact, he didn't have any good intentions.

He also doesn't have a good impression of these powerful people from all over the world. It's just that they reluctantly cooperate because the situation requires it. Now that they are on the battlefield, these useless but very troublesome sons of Haoqiang have been willingly pushed into the fire pit. Then this opportunity is the right thing to do.

......

"Ready!" With Xu Huang's shout, the thousands of crossbowmen behind him raised their crossbows in unison.

After landing on the shore, Xu Huang quickly ordered the sergeants to dig many large pits within a radius of hundreds of steps in front of the military formation. After pouring gasoline and combustion, it ignites a huge pillar of illumination, which illuminates the entire vicinity of the river. In addition to helping in combat. It can also point out the direction for subsequent reinforcements in the dark night.

When Yuan Shaojun, who was sparse and didn't even have the most basic military formation, rushed over with a shout. A faint disdain appeared on Xu Huang's face. What can such stragglers without formation do?

With Xu Huang's order, thousands of crossbowmen unleashed a rain of sharp arrows in turn, shooting those overexcited Haoqiang disciples one after another.

After losing hundreds of people, these Haoqiang disciples who were a little dizzy had some recollection. Panicked, they began to prepare to charge in formation outside the range of the crossbow.

Temporary cramming is basically useless. Where can the sons and daughters of Haoqiang, who are in chaos, form any effective military formation in such a short period of time? In addition, Na Chun Yuqiong himself has no ability, so he can only shout in the face of this situation, and lead this group of untrained elites to rush towards those crossbowmen who are not even armored, and it seems that they can slash and kill at will as long as they rush in.

"Open!" Xu Huang, whose body was stretched, began to exert force, and the strong bow in his hand was drawn into a full moon. In an instant, a sharp arrow came out of the string, flying a distance of more than a hundred steps with a sharp whistling sound. Hit Chun Yuqiong's helmet hard!

Chun Yuqiong, who was burly, was taken out of the war horse by a huge force. It fell heavily to the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust. He never got back up again.

"Woo Woo ~~~" The dense crossbow arrows were like machine gun fire, and more than a thousand Haoqiang children who were in chaos were put down one after another. By the time Yuan Shao personally rushed over with the army, there were less than 100 horsemen left to escape.

"Hiss~~~" Yuan Shao, who twitched out of the corners of his eyes, looked at the corpses of people and horses densely scattered next to the huge fires in the distance, a chill surged up in his heart, and he couldn't help but gasp.

That's more than a thousand cavalry. Even if you haven't been trained much, it's a powerful force, and it's almost wiped out in such a short period of time?! And looking at the other side, it didn't seem to have suffered any losses, which made Yuan Shao's heart even colder.

How will this battle be fought in this form? Yuan Shao's heart was cold. He really couldn't figure out where Gao Yang got so many crossbow arrows? And it's a chain crossbow with multiple arrows in one stone?

Yuan Shao, who has lived in Luoyang City all the year round, has been the eighth lieutenant and lieutenant general of Xiyuan, and has been an important minister of the imperial court for generations, naturally knows the family background of the Han Empire.

There is such a thing as a chain crossbow. However, due to the difficulty of workmanship, the quantity is very scarce. And. Not to mention the chain crossbows, just ordinary crossbow arrows, the entire Han Empire does not add up to as many as the soldiers and horses under Gao Yang's command! Not to mention it's all chain crossbows!

Yuan Shao couldn't figure out where Gao Yang got these things from? It's like the seeds, tools, grains, all kinds of non-staple food, and so on and so forth.

In the face of this kind of opponent who does not play cards according to common sense at all, Yuan Shao no longer knows how to continue to play.

Just when Yuan Shao was bored and doubtful in his heart, the shadow of the boat flickered on the river in the distance. The second army to cross the river was about to arrive.

"Rush over!" Yuan Shao's eyes condensed, and he suddenly drew out his sword and swung it forward, shouting "Kill!! ”

In any case, it was now necessary to drive these crossbowmen down the river before the second wave of reinforcements from Gaoyang crossed the river. Otherwise, this moat will be abolished.

Hundreds of Xiandeng dead soldiers, who were relied on by Yuan Shao as the strongest, were under the command of Lu Yi, wearing heavy full-body heavy armor and holding huge shields to form a tight phalanx. Like a thick turtle shell, it slowly moved towards Xu Huang's place on the opposite side.

"Huh?!" Watching this tortoiseshell-like force slowly approaching, the corners of Xu Huang's eyes twitched rapidly.

Most of his vanguard were crossbowmen, with only a few hundred sword and shield men in charge of protection. And most importantly, because they had to cross the river, almost none of these soldiers wore armor!

"Bell~~~" A dense rain of arrows fell on the giant shield formed by the first camp, provoking the sound of dense metal strikes. Not even an armor-piercing crossbow could shoot through a massive heavy shield made of metal. These Xiandeng battalions, which are composed of strong men from the Hebei region, are indeed elite. Unexpectedly, with a heavy armor and metal giant shield, he resisted the indestructible Gaoyang Army's bow and crossbow array!

"Good!" Yuan Shao, who was in the rear, suddenly widened his eyes. Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought. When a dense rain of arrows meets an extremely strong shield, it is impossible to break through this sturdy defense!

"Cavalry ready!" Yuan Shao, whose excited body was trembling slightly, shouted loudly and ordered Zhang He, Gao Ran and others to gather their soldiers and horses. Prepare to wait until the first camp to enter the bow and crossbow array, and immediately rush over to support.

Although Yuan Shao's face was extremely excited, he was not too optimistic in his heart. He knew that this kind of thing couldn't happen all the time.

Not to mention how rare the heavy armor and giant shields worn by the first camp were. In this era of pure craftsmanship, it is too difficult to create such equipment.

Besides, Gao Yang's subordinates are not only crossbowmen. Yuan Shao used to be under the city of Luoyang, and he saw with his own eyes that there was a heavily armored army of tens of thousands of people under Gao Yang's command! If you go to the camp first and face this army of soldiers and horses, you will definitely die.

It's just that now is not the time to think about that. The top priority now is to defeat the thousands of Gaoyang troops in front of them, improve their morale, and reorganize the defense line. As for other things, let's wait until later.

Is the direction of the battlefield really going on as Yuan Shao expected? The first camp that could not be hurt by crossbow arrows successfully entered Gao Yang's crossbowman army and went on a killing spree, completely turning the situation tonight around?

"Bell bell bell ~~~" wave after wave of arrow rain was sprinkled, but it was still useless. Occasionally, a few heavy arrows shot through the gaps between the giant shields into the tortoise formation, and with a scream, they knocked down several of the first to camp. However, this little bit of numbers does not make any difference at all.

"What should I do?!" Xu Huang narrowed his eyes.

It would be some time before the reinforcements on the river behind him could come ashore. And it takes time to get ashore and get organized. What's more, this reinforcement was also dominated by lightly armed crossbowmen. There may also be a group of sword and shield guards guarding them, but because of the crossing of the river, no one carries heavy armor and heavy weapons.

At this time, Xu Huang only had hundreds of sword and shield soldiers who were not wearing heavy armor in his hands to protect the crossbowmen. There is no heavy armor and heavy weapons. This bit of power can't stop those turtle shells.

Xu Huang, who was leading the battle alone in the Gaoyang Army for the first time, clenched his fists, looked at the moving metal army formation as if it were substance, and whispered to himself through gritted teeth, "You must not mess it up!" (To be continued.) )r1052
