Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 271 Killer
The fighting on the north bank of the Sanggan River was fierce.

The offensive and defensive battle on the south bank of the Sanggan River is about to kick off.

Chang Side rode his horse at the forefront of the army, looking at the dust rolling up not far away, he was really relieved.

finally come.

How could Chang Side not know the risk of transporting food here.

Chang Side even knew that he was the bait, the bait to lure the enemy Khitan to fight.

Therefore, along the way, Chang Side didn't know which direction the enemy would emerge from, so he was cautious and cautious.

Pay attention to any disturbances.

This found the enemy's track, and Chang Side felt relieved.

It is better to be able to fight a battle happily than to be worried all the way.

Chang Side glanced at the rear, and there was a long string of grain trucks and soldiers escorting the grain team behind him, and ordered someone to ring the golden gong for warning.

Li Chuyun, who was located in the middle and rear, was also refreshed when he heard the news ahead, and he also had the same idea.

finally come.

"All the soldiers were on standby for battle, and all the grain transporters assembled the grain carts and built them into camps. Then they lined up by the river to reassure them that we can protect them."

Li Chuyun galloped his horse forward while ordering the soldiers and food transporters to move.

Soon the grain transportation team had connected the grain trucks back and forth to form a simple line of defense.

But the strange thing is that the soldiers did not hide behind the grain carts, but on the left side of the grain carts to the south, and the people transporting grain hid on the other side of the grain carts by the river.

Looking forward to it.

Yelu Wansi frowned slightly, looking at the array not far away, with the anger of being underestimated in her eyes.

As a veteran who fought with Yelu Abaoji on the battlefield, Yelu Wansi had never been so underestimated.

What do you want to do?
Just fight yourself head-on like this?
As an experienced veteran, Yelu Wansi was ordered to attack from behind more than once.

He also successfully broke the enemy's food road many times and won the victory for the war.

Many of the countermeasures of the enemy's food transport team are familiar, and even the frontal restraint is clear.

The best way to deal with this is to directly gather the grain trucks in one place, build simple fortifications, and use the grain trucks to resist.

The group of enemies in front of them had indeed assembled the grain trucks, but the other party only regarded the grain trucks as the second line of defense.

With soldiers lined up in front of the grain carts, are you worried that you will burn the grain with rockets?
"Pooh!"

Feeling the contempt, Yelu Wansi spat and said, "Do you really think you can stop me with a strong crossbow?"

"Wu Yan, you lead your cavalry past the enemy's front, from west to east, gradually approaching, once you are within range, shoot immediately."

"Brother Peng, you lead your soldiers and horses to follow Wu Yan, and whenever the opponent shoots a crossbow, immediately charge forward."

The strength of the Central Plains Crossbow is something they have experienced before.

Piercing people through armor is commonplace.

With great power, it is not uncommon to penetrate several people.

Confronting crossbow arrows head-on is no different from courting death.

No matter how many cavalrymen faced the strong crossbow, they had to kneel obediently.

However, as long as the formation is loosened, instead of attacking directly, but approaching diagonally and directly passing the enemy's front, the lethality of the crossbow arrows will be greatly reduced.

The crossbow bolts have fatal shortcomings, such as slow loading speed and large shooting intervals.

Grabbing the space they loaded and quickly approaching, even if there are such sharp weapons as crossbows, what can they do?

With the progress of the times, various tactics and weapon characteristics are well known to the world.

The barbarians have suffered losses time and time again, and have learned how to deal with them.

Before Chang Side and Li Chuyun showed their crossbows, Yelu Wansi had already thought about everything.

Following Yelv Wansi's order.

Wu Yan directly led two thousand cavalry to approach the Zhou army's formation bit by bit in a slanted manner.

If it is on the plain, they will run around the entire grain team, approaching little by little, looking for loopholes.

Now Chang Side and Li Chuyun are forming formations along the river, they can only keep passing the formations back and forth, step by step.

"Damn!"

Li Chuyun couldn't help cursing, the Wei Shengjun under his command mainly used bows and arrows.

I have been training bows and crossbows for these years, and I know the characteristics of bows and crossbows well.

The loose formation on the opposite side and the maneuvering state at a certain speed limit the lethality of the crossbow by at least [-]%.

But they can't just sit back and watch each other approaching a little bit.

Once the opponent enters the range of riding and shooting, one's own side becomes the target of the arrow.

In order to protect the army rations, the troops are not as strong as the opponent, and they have to protect the ration servants behind them.

The array must be compact.

Otherwise, if the people run away, it will affect the morale of the army, and the follow-up food will not be lucky.

As a famous general in the world, Li Chuyun flashed various situations in his mind, and then gave orders decisively.

"Team A and Team B aim at the enemy's horses and shoot!"

Following his command, thousands of crossbow arrows roared and flew.

All of a sudden, there were sharp sounds piercing the air from all directions.

But because the Khitan cavalry had been on guard for a long time, they all rushed a hundred paces away.

The hit rate of crossbow bolts is not high, only more than a hundred Khitan cavalry hit the arrows.

The powerful crossbow arrows penetrated directly into the body of the horse, and the powerful force caused the horse to roll over and throw the knight on the horse.

The lucky Khitan soldier fell half to death and survived by chance.

Those who are unlucky will be trampled to death by the knights behind them.

Brother Peng, who had been on standby for a long time, waited for this moment and shouted: "Crush them for me."

At the moment when the first round of crossbow arrows was shot, the Khitan soldiers who were waiting in battle began to sprint towards the Zhou army's grain team.

Li Chuyun saw the opponent's movements in his eyes.

He has three teams of crossbowmen, A, B, and C. Before, he reserved one hand and only let teams A and B shoot. Now is the time for team C to show their power.

"This is the time, Team C, cross fire!"

The sky full of crossbow arrows flew out of the sky again!

The same moving target, rushing forward, is completely different from sweeping from left to right.

Peng Ge was dumbfounded and at a loss: the range of the crossbow could reach 250 steps, and at this time the distance between the two armies was only a hundred steps and there was no way to dodge it.

In an instant, the soul-hunting crossbow pierced through people and horses.

Brother Peng who rushed to the front was not spared, he was directly pierced by two crossbow arrows, and he was killed on the spot before he even had time to hum.

The Khitan cavalry hissed mournfully, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

A large part of Khitan's military system is inherited from the Central Plains, and Brother Peng is the team commander.

As soon as he died, Kuang Yuma, the deputy commander of the brigade, immediately took over his seat and took over the command of the army.

"Go up, go up!"

Kuang Nianma knew the power of the crossbow arrows well, and if they wanted to retreat at this moment, it would be tantamount to another round of shooting.

During the time when they turned around and retreated, the opponent's first wave of crossbowmen must have finished loading.

Can't escape the maximum range.

It's better to rush to fight the opponent directly at the loss.

Use distance to restrain the power of crossbowmen.

Yeluwan was shocked and angry when he saw Brother Peng being shot in the face, and the cunning Central Plainsman actually hid his hand.

But he was even more worried that if he lost his command, the charging troops would not be able to withstand the pressure of the crossbow, and chose to leave the range of this terrible crossbow.

Then all previous efforts will be wasted.

But seeing Kuang Nunma standing up, commanding the soldiers to continue sprinting, regardless of whether he could hear him or not, he shouted directly: "Kuang Nunma, come back alive, I will promote you to be a Taoist commander."

After Yelu Wansi yelled, he ordered Wu Yan to attack the Zhou army's grain army formation again.

The distance is getting closer, and it's time for the massacre.

Yelu Wansi was ready to lead his troops to attack, but what happened next made him pale with astonishment.

After Zhou Jun's crossbowmen shot their crossbow arrows, they retreated one after another.

When he left, he left a field of barbed wire, and exposed a row of shiny "iron fences" behind.

The iron fence was inserted obliquely into the ground, with sharp points gleaming. In front of the Zhou army, there seemed to be a simple line of defense.

Yelu Wansi opened her eyes wide, and the situation 40 years ago reappeared before her eyes.

That year he was still young, and he followed their greatest Khitan emperor, Yelu Abaoji, to the south with the whole country, known as an army of one million cavalry, with banners covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of horseshoes shaking the sky.

Yelu Abaoji directly released his bold words: "Conquer the Central Plains, drink horses and the Yellow River."

What a lofty ambition that is, mighty.

But at a critical moment, they met Fu Cunshen.

King Fu's father.

He ordered people to cut wood for antlers, and he took a branch, and led his troops to take Youzhou directly.

[-] foot soldiers form an army when they move, and they form a stronghold when they stop. Their [-] Khitan soldiers have nothing to do.

It was really an unforgettable massacre. The hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters who entered the customs were like dogs that lost their homes.

In the end, the so-called million Khitan cavalry army abandoned their carts, armored sheep and horses, and the number of Khitan soldiers killed in battle was estimated at tens of thousands.

But since then, the Central Plains has not seen this trick.

Even Fu Yanqing, the King of Talismans who terrifies them, has never used it.

Everyone in the Khitan thought that this method of warfare had been lost.

Now?

How did Zhou Jun learn this trick?
Or iron antlers?
Yeluwan thought of something suddenly, the current coach of the Central Plains seems to be the son-in-law of the Fu family!
With the voice, the bloody memory was suddenly revealed. Yelu Wansi tensed her trembling body, and shouted loudly with all her strength: "Withdraw, first withdraw!"

But at this point, there is no saying that you can withdraw if you withdraw.

The barbed wire on the ground caused little trouble for the Khitan cavalry.

But like iron guns, they stabbed obliquely into the ground, forming rows of fence-like spikes and causing them huge casualties.

The Khitan horse is short, and it is not enough to avoid jumping over such spikes, so it can only bump into it forcefully.

The people and horses directly crashed to death on the ground thorns.

A few reacted flexibly and jumped directly to save their lives, but in this way, they were either trampled to death by their own people, or stabbed to death by the pikemen behind the spiked fence.

Kuang Ning's horse reacted quickly and rolled off the horse's back, but the barbed wire on the ground made him howl in pain.

Seeing him so miserable, an unknown soldier pierced his chest with a gun, ending his sore spot.

Wu Yan felt bad when he saw the black spiked fence, and heard the voices calling for retreat behind him.

He decisively turned the horse's head and made a detour to the flank.

At this time, the crossbowmen of Team A and Team B had already loaded their guns, and pulled the trigger on the fleeing Wuyan tribe.

The powerful infantry crossbow once again sprinkled on the Khitan cavalry.
