The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 782 Breaking the Army
The soldier shot six arrows in a row, and the bed crossbow had already fired two more rounds.

The front formation composed of two thousand Han troops was already shattered under the repeated blows of the arrow rain, with corpses strewn all over the field, and the sound of wailing became one piece.

The robe beside him was constantly shot down by arrows, lying on the ground crying in pain, and the continuous screaming around made the Han army in the front line bear great fear.

If it's just the rain of arrows shot by the crossbow machine, it's okay, and with the cover of the tower shield, even the shooting of the crossbow can't cause too many casualties.

However, the addition of bed crossbows caused the collapse of the Han army's front line.

Under the crossbow shot from the bed crossbow, the armor and shield are just a joke.

Under the dense army formation, a crossbow spear can easily penetrate three or four people at once.

The first two shots of the bed crossbow of the Ming army still covered the front of the Han army and the crossbowmen behind the front of the Han army, but from the second shot, they fired the crossbow directly at the front of the Han army.

The crossbow guns fired from the bed crossbow volley easily broke the shield formation of the Han army in front, and the subsequent crossbow arrows fired from the crossbow machine of the Ming army fell into the messy Han army formation in front.

A large number of casualties caused the Han army in the front line to completely lose order and fall into collapse.

The crossbowmen of the Han army were also affected by the crossbow attacks of the bed crossbow and the soldiers. The Han army in the front line covered by tower shields suffered heavy casualties, but how could the crossbowmen of the Han army who lacked shield protection be safe and sound.

"Anyone who retreats will be cut immediately!"

Zhou Tai was startled and angry, the order of the front line had been completely destroyed, and the Ming army's long-range strikes completely disintegrated the morale of the front line soldiers.

"Damn!"

Zhou Tai cursed angrily, the deterrent power of the ballista after another in the distance behind the military formation of the Ming army was too amazing, Zhou Tai had never been afraid on the battlefield.

Even when Sun Ce led him, Jiang Qin, and Ling Cao into the enemy's formation, facing the heavy siege of Zang Ba's army and the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops, Zhou Tai was not afraid.

But this time, the ballista of the Ming army really made Zhou Tai feel intimidated.

Under such a big killer like the bed crossbow, no armor or martial arts would be effective, not even a shield could defend against the bed crossbow's shots.

"Stabilize the army!"

The front line of the Han army has disintegrated, and the crossbowmen have withdrawn to the second line of defense under the command of the general.

The crossbowmen were able to evacuate because they hadn't collapsed and turned into irrational routs, and the crossbowmen in their hands would still be useful in the future.

But the ordinary Han infantry in the front line were not so lucky. They lost their will to fight and became routs, panicked...

On the battlefield, without orders, turning around and fleeing is undoubtedly seeking death...

"Raise the gun!"

A ruthless cold drink sounded on the battlefield, but it was very clear on the noisy battlefield.

"prick!"

The pikemen in front of the second formation of the Han army fiercely stabbed out the pikes in their hands.

"puff!"

The sound of the gun head piercing the flesh, and the tragic wailing sounded almost at the same time.

A soldier of the Han army in red fell to the ground weakly holding his abdominal cavity pierced by a spear, and the bright red blood was overflowing from his fingers.

Blood stained the grass under him, and his strength was rapidly disappearing from his body

"help me……"

At the last moment, he raised his head in vain, raised his hand and stretched forward, which was where the spear came from.

His cries were not noticed by anyone, and the spears were stabbed continuously, and any broken soldiers who wanted to charge the army would be mercilessly beheaded.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The guards beside Zhou Tai also drew their bows and arrows and began to shoot and kill the defeated soldiers.

On the battlefield, only if you are not afraid of death can you not die.

Hand to hand combat, bow and crossbow shooting, war in the cold weapon era, once one side's army collapses, it will be their end.

The cavalry troops on the left and right wings of the Ming army were not in a hurry to attack, and each of the two wings of the Ming army also had a dozen crossbows shooting continuously at the left and right formations of the Han army.

There were no infantry on the left and right wings of the Ming army, they were all cavalry, the left wing was the cavalry of the Shanggu camp, and the right wing was the cavalry of the Bingzhou camp. Most of the cavalry in the two battalions were Hu people. The Bingzhou Camp is mostly elite knights selected from the Southern Huns, and its generals and officers are basically people from Taipingdao.

After all, the original names of Shanggu Ying and Bingzhou Ying were not "Ying" but "Yi Cong".

The two wings of the Han army were shot by the bed crossbow, but they lacked cavalry and they did not have much countermeasures. They also organized several waves of attacks to destroy the ballista.

However, because most of the cavalry of Shanggu Camp and Bingzhou Camp are Hu people, they are all excellent riders, and most importantly, their bow skills are outstanding. The strongest group of people, how could the Han army destroy the bed crossbow under their guard.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In the distance, in the formation of the Ming army, the sound of Huang Tian's war drums completely overwhelmed the sound of the Han army's war drums.

The rapid and powerful sound of Huang Tian's war drums was like thunder, constantly echoing in everyone's ears, even overshadowing the wails of the Han army.

"call out------"

Another high-pitched whistle sounded.

Huangfusong's face changed slightly, and every drum beat and whistle sounded by the Ming army represented that the Ming army was changing its offensive.

Ranged strikes are over...

Then, the next step will undoubtedly be close combat...

Huangfusong, his heart was cold, but he still maintained his superficial composure.

He knew very well that he was the commander-in-chief of the first army, and everyone was probably focusing on him now. As long as he showed a trace of timidity, fear or uneasiness, the entire army might collapse.

Huangfusong kept his composure and kept sending out his reserve team to fill in the vacancies in various places, trying his best to stabilize the army formation.

He still needs to hold on for two quarters of an hour before he can wait for the army to come back for help. He must hold on for at least two quarters of an hour!

Huangfusong knew very well that Sun Jian must be on the way to reorganize the army at this time, and he is already on the way to help.

Liu Bei must also be trying his best to break away from the entanglement of the Wei army cavalry and rush towards his position.

"Two quarters of an hour..."

Huangfusong tightly held the rein in his hand, and closed his eyes.

"If the destiny is still in my Han room, then give me another two quarters of an hour..."

Do everything you can, and be in peace.

He has done everything he can do, and the development of the situation is no longer within his control.

"call out--------"

The whistle sounded for a long time.

The distance between the two armies was only twenty steps, and the soldiers of the Ming army came trotting all the way. Their bodies were heating up after running just now, and the sound of drums echoed in their chests, which seemed to give them endless strength .

Xu An rode his horse and whipped his whip. Standing in the formation, he slowly raised the halberd in his hand, and then swung it forward lightly.

Suddenly, the loud sound of infantry and drums sounded in the Ming army's formation.

A battle flag with tiger pattern was suddenly erected from the formation of soldiers of the Ming army.

A deep chanting sound slowly appeared in everyone's ears. The chanting sound was very slight at first, but soon, the chanting sound gradually became louder and louder...

"Heaven and earth have their own divine treasures, all of them have their own gods and spirits, which follow the five behaviors and forms, and rise and fall with the qi of the four seasons..."

Countless low-pitched chanting sounds all gathered together, like the sounds of heaven, with an awe-inspiring aura that made people feel involuntarily.

The gust of wind swept past the south of Fanyang City, countless banners were blown by it, and there were extremely heavy footsteps in the formation of the Ming army. His eyes were erected.

Zhou Tai's hand holding the spear trembled involuntarily. He had never fought against the Yellow Turban Army before, but after arriving in Dongjun, he passed the information kept by the Han Army, and he also knew a lot about the Yellow Turban Army. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one can never be imperiled in a hundred battles, this truth is very clear to him, it is always good to know more about one's enemies.

Now in the whole world, only one army is using such a tiger-striped battle flag...

"call out----"

A sharp sound rose into the sky and hit the sky.

In front of them, the tight and orderly formation of the soldiers of the Ming army, which was originally like a tortoise shell, suddenly broke apart.

In the formation of the Han army, countless soldiers watched the shocking changes ahead in horror.

Countless people are wearing double-arc shields, holding short iron hammers or wild goose feather knives, wearing black iron heavy armor, ring arm iron armor, legs covered with fine iron leg armor, robes and belts, and even face armor. The yellow angels are already brazenly out!
"Raise the gun!"

Although a military marquis of the Han army panicked, he did not forget his duty.

"Steady the army, don't panic, the enemy also..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped.

Because those heavily armed yellow angels had already rushed to the front of the formation.

Countless spears stabbed out from the Han army's formation. Although they were afraid, they also saw the fate of the Han army in front of them.

There is only one death for the fleeing...

If they run away now, those generals behind with swords in their hands will not let them go easily...

The sound of chanting sutras suddenly stagnated, and the sound of a tsunami of victory suddenly sounded from the direction of the Ming army.

Those experienced and heavily armed yellow angels suddenly raised their shields and slammed into the messy shields of the Han army.

The long spears were not able to hinder the attack of those yellow angels. The yellow angels were all battle-tested elites, and they knew how to face the spear formation.

And the most important thing is that they are wearing heavy armor, and there are more than one layer. The spears of the Han army can't break through the armor at all.

The huge impact directly knocked out several gaps in the Han army's formation, and then more yellow angels poured into the Han army's formation from the gaps.

There were miserable howls everywhere, just a face-to-face meeting, and the second formation of the Han army was already in pieces!

The sound of bones breaking, the sound of swords and swords cutting into flesh, the sound of clashing swords and swords, and the screams of someone dying in despair all interweave at the same time and form a story of death. movement.

At the same time, the right-wing cavalry of the Ming army had also launched an attack.

The Youzhou cavalry led by Liu Bei wanted to get rid of the cavalry of the Wei army. They were in the north of the city. The cavalry on the left wing did not participate in the siege. Their duty was to contain the strength of the Han army and defeat the other Han troops rushing to help.

On the right wing of the Han army, the snorting of war horses sounded again from the cavalry of the Ming army, but this time, it sounded particularly heavy.

Chen Lan's complexion changed slightly. He felt that the grass he was standing on seemed to be shaking, and he felt a little unstable.

The strong wind was blowing, Chen Lan raised his arms to block the wind and dust, and at this moment, he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes coming from the direction where the Ming army's cavalry formation was, followed by the sound of horseshoes. There was the sound of banners being swept up by the strong wind, and they were also blown into the Han army's formation by the strong wind.

Chen Lan lowered his arms, fear leaked from his eyes, Chen Lanzhi felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and he couldn't move at all, and the air around him seemed to be condensed, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"A loaded heavy cavalry!"

Chen Lan's eyes were full of fear.

The cavalry of the Ming army in front of them was completely different from the cavalry they had seen before. Both the horses and the knights on horseback were completely covered by thick and cold armor.

The horse's head and chest, the knight's arms and chest are all tightly wrapped in it.

"List……"

Facing the oncoming cavalry, it is the most correct choice to defend in place.

The infantry who lost their army will only be easily slaughtered by the cavalry in the end.

But when facing the cavalry rushing straight, even the most well-trained soldiers will feel fear in the bottom of their hearts.

Because for the pawns standing in the first and second rows, it is almost a dead end.

Even if he was not assassinated by the knight on horseback, the powerful impact brought by the horse could still kill him on the spot.

Tall war horses stepped forward, and the knights on horseback held sharp spears and swung cold sabers. How could such power not make people frightened.

"call out--"

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, a short sharp sound rose into the sky again, like an eagle trembling.

The powerful impact of the heavy cavalry cannot be stopped by flesh and blood at all. Whether it is a war horse or a knight on horseback, they are completely covered by thick armor, and both men and horses are wearing heavy armor.

Against the backdrop of the sun, the spear in the knight's hand on the horse seems to be coated with a layer of molten gold, and the golden light is reflected from the iron armor on his body, making it difficult for people to open their eyes. .

Ma Chao rode his horse with a spear, and galloped at the forefront of the cavalry formation, facing the formation of Han infantry in front, without the slightest fear on his face.

Numerous heavy armored cavalry followed Ma Chao forward, and none of them slowed down.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The bowstring vibrated, and the sound of piercing the air suddenly appeared, and the cavalry soldiers of the Bingzhou camp all opened their bows and released arrows. A dense rain of arrows swept through the air and shot towards the Han army's formation.

"Fire arrows!"

Almost at the same moment, countless arrows shot out from the Han army's formation, and shot towards the group of heavily armored cavalry who were rushing straight forward.

"Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!"

The expected scene of people turning their backs on their backs did not appear, and the arrows shot from the Han army formation could not penetrate the heavy armor of the Ming army cavalry at all.

"kill!"

Ma Chao roared, and swung his spear forward suddenly.

With the sound of bowstrings beside him, Ma Xiu and a group of soldiers who had followed Ma Chao since Liangzhou had already shot arrows.

In front of Ma Chao's horse, several soldiers of the Han army held long spears and wanted to make up for the gap, and fell on the ground in pain, clutching their necks.

Immediately afterwards, countless short soldiers flew out of the cavalry formation of the Ming army. The formation of the Han army was already broken. Fell to the ground.

Not everyone is as proficient in shooting as Ma Chao's personal guards, and not everyone has time to replace the crossbow with a long spear. Most of the cavalry still use simple throwing weapons.

The moment the short soldiers were thrown out, all the cavalry returned to their long spears and pointed their spears straight at the Han army formation. In an instant, the cavalry formation had gathered into a row of icy spear forests.

"kill!!"

The heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army swept in like a tide, and slammed into the Han army's formation with overwhelming momentum.
