Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 492 Ignore it and move on
Chapter [-] Ignore it and move on

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The sharp arrows pierced through the air and screamed, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, pouring down towards the formation of vehicles, only to hear a soft sound of tuk-tuk-tuk, and there were many feathered arrows on the vehicles on the ground, and the shafts of the arrows were still on the ground. Humming and shaking.This is a light arrow, which can be shot very far, but its power is not very good. It is okay against unarmored soldiers, but it is useless if the target is wearing iron armor or even bird hammer armor.This round of arrow rain came quickly and frighteningly, but the effect was not very good, only a few people were injured.After shooting this round of light arrows.

Immediately, there was a burst of shouting in Tang Jun's car formation, and a large number of Guanzhong accents roared desperately: "Control, control, control!"

However, the sound they made fell into the ears of Zheng Jun Heluo Zuojun soldiers, but it became: "Wind, wind, wind"!
It didn't matter what the sound was, what was important was that a rain of arrows shot towards Zheng Guohe Luo Zuojun even more sternly.The soldiers of the Heluo Left Army bent down without any shyness and went behind the sword and shield soldiers.Using light arrows, they didn't expect to kill many people. This round of rapid shooting was just to attract Tang Jun's bows and arrows to shoot, just like the fire reconnaissance of later generations.

The soldiers of the Tang army on the chariot formation did not disappoint the generals of the Zheng army. There was a palpitating sound of piercing through the air, and a burst of arrows shot down dozens of people from Zheng Guohe Luozuo army.

This kind of bow and arrow versus shooting is actually like the offensive and defensive battle of hot weapons in later generations. Regardless of the rain of arrows, it is very lively when you come and go, but there are not many casualties.Although the generals of the Zheng army did not have the protection of the car array like the generals of the Tang army, they also had shields, so the casualties on both sides were limited, but the rain of arrows shot more and more densely.

Li Shimin saw that Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie were holding the position on the river bank, and they were in a stalemate with Zheng Guohe and Luozuo Army, so he immediately ordered: "Order Hou Junji to speed up and cross the river."

What Li Shimin is most worried about is that Zheng Jun will block them on the river beach. Although the car formation is nearly [-] steps away from the river beach, the distance is actually too narrow. Once Zheng Jun blocks them here, this army will turn upside down The tortoises are immobile and can only be chopped up by others. Therefore, after the whole army crosses the river, they must break through the enemy's defense line as soon as possible to gain time to move.

Li Shimin is not a fledgling on the battlefield either. To break Zheng Jun's arrow array, he had to use heavy infantry or cavalry to make a surprise attack. It's just a pity that Tang Jun's middle base heavy infantry was as early as when Wang Shiyun used the Fire Bull Array to raid Qu Tutong's troops. , The loss was exhausted, and the heavy armored cavalry was also wiped out at Longmen. In this case, if you want to break through the enemy's arrow array, you must use the bed crossbow under Hou Junji's command.

Although the bed crossbow had a slow rate of fire, the six-foot crossbow spear could penetrate three feet into a rammed earth wall, and no matter how strong a shield was, it could not block the fatal blow of the bed crossbow.

On Qin Qiong's left flank, several sharpshooters suddenly appeared among the arrows, armed with powerful crossbows, and shot down the soldiers around Qin Qiong, even piercing through the helmets of the soldiers, and blood spattered.

Qin Qiong was furious: "Bow!"

A personal soldier handed an iron tire bow to Qin Qiong. It can be said that everyone knows Qin Qiong's halberd, but few people know his archery skills, because everyone who has seen Qin Qiong use arrows has died.

"Damn it!" Qin Qiong shouted loudly.

With an arrow shot out, a Zheng Jun sharpshooter was shot in the forehead and fell on his back screaming.Qin Qiong shot straight arrows, and with the sound of the bowstring, Zheng Jun's master archers screamed one after another, and people kept falling down with arrows. As long as they looked up, Qin Qiong could use the bow and arrow to call them, and most of them were hit in the head and chest , Not dying is also seriously injured!
General Zheng Jun shouted urgently: "Shoot the arrow, let the arrow go!"

However, the tension of Qin Qiong's bow is the same as that of the foot-deng crossbow (stretch crossbow), which is three stones.But the rate of fire is three or even five times that of the crossbow.However, although Qin Qiong suppressed a dozen archers with a bow and did not dare to look up, he did not change the overall situation much.

First of all, the crossbowmen of Zheng Jun Luohe Zuojun, Duan Ping's crossbow in his hand, randomly aimed at the soldiers of the Tang Army in the rear chariot formation, and there was a metallic trembling sound, the crossbow arrows whistled, and the archers fired all their arrows. Arrows rained down on the heads of the soldiers of the Tang army in the car formation. The sharp arrows collided with the shields wrapped in iron and made a clanking sound. Many shields were like hedgehogs.

Cheng Zhijie was also in a hurry at this time. He could see that the shield had cracked. Once the shield was broken, the rain of arrows would cause a fatal blow to the soldiers of the Tang army.

However, at this critical juncture.More than forty bed crossbow carts under Hou Junji's command arrived at the front line.Under Hou Junji's urging, the crossbowman hurriedly adjusted the firing angle, and struggled to turn the ratchet to string the bed crossbow.

"Bang bang bang..."

The bed crossbowman holding a wooden hammer slammed the wooden hammer on the frame of the bed crossbow. More than 120 six-foot-long crossbow guns, like a flying wall, flew towards the shield formation of Zheng Jun and Heluo Zuo Jun with the sound of tearing the air.These bed crossbowmen didn't even look at the result. After firing, they quickly reloaded their crossbow guns.

The shield of Zheng Jun, which made Qin Qiong helpless, shattered as soon as it touched the arrow. The thick crossbow gun shot through the shield and the body of Zheng Jun Heluo Zuojun soldiers, and then pierced out from the soldier's body , and then consume his own kinetic energy on the bodies of other soldiers.

As mentioned above, the crossbow gun of the bed crossbow is flat and crescent-shaped, and hits the human body. No matter how strong the armor is, it is as fragile as paper.The generals of the Zheng army who were hit by crossbow guns died in a terrible state, or their chests were cut open, and the internal organs, intestines and stomachs flowed out, and the arms fell off when they touched the arms, and the legs and legs broke when they touched the head. Hit on the stomach... The horrible scene of the intestines flying around can scare the companions around you to death, but also scare them half to death!
More than forty bed crossbows fired a volley, and 120 crossbow spears flew out, piercing blood alleys in the middle of the shield formation of Zheng Jun and Heluo Left Army.At this moment, the soldiers of the Heluo Zuo Army finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fled back after throwing down the dead bodies.

Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong led [-] elite soldiers to fight out from the chariot formation, chasing after the retreating soldiers of Zheng Jun and Heluo Left Army and slashing at them. The horse spear in Cheng Zhijie's hand waved like a windmill, sweeping away all of them.Every time Cheng Zhijie knocked down one, the cavalry of the Tang army would put the head on the spear and lift it up high so that the soldiers behind could see it.Seeing the bloody heads being picked up, the soldiers behind couldn't help cheering loudly, and their morale rose.

Zheng Jun is nothing special, they will be injured if they are chopped down, and they will die if they are killed.

After such thoughts arose in their hearts, the soldiers of the Tang army who were originally uneasy, their fear of the enemy was greatly offset. Some soldiers ignored the officer's scolding and rushed out of the car formation. The Heluo soldiers hacked and stabbed indiscriminately, and cut off their heads after killing them. The morale of the Tang army rose even higher.

Li Shimin took the opportunity to order to advance at full speed, and must break through the defense line of Zheng Jun's soldiers in one fell swoop, and join forces with Changsun Shunde's troops.The Tang army did not wipe out many enemies in this battle, but the effect was not bad. At least the morale was raised. The soldiers of the whole army were fighting with high spirits.

Zheng Jun's cavalry immediately roared in all directions, firing arrows at the chariot formation, trying to contain Tang Jun.The archers on the escort vehicle array immediately responded.You must know that the cavalry is riding on the horse. Because of the space, the bow arm of the cavalry bow is extremely short, so of course the tension is insufficient. The range of the cavalry bow is actually within [-] steps, while the infantry bow is long because the bow arm is long and the tension is sufficient. The shooting range is long, and the cavalry will definitely suffer if the archers on the cart and the cavalry's bows shoot each other.The Zheng army did not have many horses and limited cavalry, and the cavalry of the Zheng army, who were afraid of bearing huge casualties, could only rely on the outskirts to make small troubles. However, such small fights obviously could not stop the Tang army from advancing. Follow the Hangu Pass all the way to sing and advance!
If Zheng Jun's Heluo Zuo Army hadn't been in a relatively neat formation, defeated and not chaotic, Li Shimin would definitely suspect that Zheng Jun had the purpose of luring the enemy into the depths, but these Heluo Zuo Army soldiers, with archers in the rear, retreated and moved towards them from time to time. The generals and soldiers of the Tang army who were in pursuit shot arrows, forcing the soldiers of the Tang army not to chase too close.

Unknowingly, according to Wang Shichong's plan, these Heluo Zuo Army soldiers retreated towards Tanlong Valley, killing the red-eyed Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, wishing to kill all these Zheng Army soldiers, these Zheng Army archers Not to mention running fast, and shooting arrows towards the back while running, the arrows shot at the faces of the Tang army soldiers, and the arrows bit the flesh!

There is no bulletproof mask at this time, as long as you are hit by an arrow, you will be either killed or injured.Continuing to chase is tantamount to using his own face to block the arrows shot by the generals of Zheng Jun. There will be no good fruit to eat. He ordered to stop the pursuit and count the casualties. He was shocked, and it was only five or six miles away. Five 600 people!
"You're a bastard!" Cheng Zhijie scolded angrily.

He and Qin Qiong withdraw troops at the same time.

Li Shimin didn't take it seriously, and ordered to ignore these Heluo left army officers and soldiers, and seize the time to join forces with Changsun Shunde's troops.However, at this moment, Lei Yongji reported to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness Qin, you have seen Wang Shichong!"

"Wang Shichong?" Li Shimin's face darkened. At this time, Li Shimin was not the later Emperor Taizong Wen. He was still young, still full of passion, and he was still a person who had a clear distinction between love and hate.Hearing Wang Shichong's name, a flush appeared on his face immediately.

"Where is Wang Shichong, and how many people are around him?" Li Shimin thought to himself, if Wang Shichong was left alone, he wouldn't mind killing Wang Shichong first, and then joining his eldest grandson Shunde.

Lei Yongji said: "There must be five or six thousand troops. Now Wang Shichong is retreating towards Longtan Valley surrounded by rout troops!"

"Wang Shichong, the thief!" Li Shimin cursed secretly in his heart, did he really take himself for a fool? He did the same trick twice, the last time he led the troops to pretend to retreat, and now he did it again?
Li Shimin blushed from holding back, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't worry about it, keep heading towards Hangu Pass!"
