Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 292 The Battle of Gaoping City ([-]) Summary
"Get out!"

Dong Jun, the captain of Yuan Rong, shouted hoarsely, and the guards beside him also blew their horns sharply.

Hundreds of giant shields were withdrawn neatly, and Yuanrong crossbowmen flashed out from behind the shields, aiming at Wei Qi who was rushing forward forty steps away.

Wei Ping, who was charging ahead, changed his face suddenly, tightened his reins, and tried to change direction, but he was a step too late.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

The unique sound of the scalp-numbing crossbow suddenly sounded, and hundreds of black spots appeared in the air, and they shot towards Wei Qi with a mournful whistling sound.

What the ten-stone crossbow shoots is a crossbow flying with huge power. At such a short distance, it is this kind of armor-piercing crossbow. No solid armor can stop it half a point, let alone ordinary leather armor. .

As soon as hundreds of armor-piercing crossbows fell, Wei Qi, who was charging ahead, was shot out by the crossbows almost without any reaction. Those crossbows directly penetrated the leather armor and muscles and bones on their bodies, and their flesh and blood were like paper. It was as vulnerable as a paste, and countless blood splattered.

Puff, puff, puff... After a series of dull sounds, nearly a hundred brave Wei Qi fell off their horses in an instant, and some of them even died under the crossbow arrows before they could utter a scream!

Wei Ping, who was leading the charge, had already been pierced through his chest by a crossbow arrow, and the huge impact force sent his body flying upside down, hitting the ground heavily, and then he twitched a few times and stopped moving.

Seeing this, Wei Qi, who was galloping up behind him, all looked horrified, and all of them reined in, not daring to charge forward.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this time, the fiery red banners in the Han army formation waved, and the passionate marching drums sounded.

The formation of the Han army dispersed, the Yuan Rong crossbowmen discarded the ten-stone crossbow, pulled out a continuous crossbow with their backhand, and launched a countercharge towards the Wei army, followed by hundreds of red armored guards.

The Yuanrong crossbowman raised his crossbow and aimed at the front, and there was another burst of crossbow firing.Within half a sound, a crossbow fired ten crossbow arrows, and hundreds of crossbow arrows went straight to the rest of the Wei cavalry.

Wei Qi, who was trying to continue charging, was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and ran away.

"kill!"

Su Gu roared loudly, and the hundreds of red-armored guards behind him also roared.

Dai Ling's face changed drastically. At this moment, he didn't know that this was a trap set by the Han army.

Deng Ai showed the enemy's weakness, pretending to be [-] soldiers, ambushing [-] elite bows and crossbows behind the shield, luring himself out of the battle, facing any temptation by Wei Qi.When Wei Qi charged close to forty steps, he could reach the front of the formation in just a few breaths, before the four hundred crossbowmen came out.

Wei Ping, who has always been cautious, did not expect this to happen. After all, there were no more than a hundred crossbowmen in the Han army between two hundred steps and one hundred steps.But when approaching forty steps, at such a short distance, four hundred crossbowmen rose and shot Wei Qi.

You must know that ordinary soldiers will panic when facing the cavalry who are rushing. The soldiers who can hold spears in formation without moving around can be said to be elite, but they can be said to be elite when they face cavalry charges without panic. The world's heroes.

During the previous battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan bullied Qu Yi's soldiers and wanted to trample on the enemy's formation, but he never thought that he would be defeated by Qu Yi's ambush with thousands of crossbows.

But Dai Ling didn't have time to think about it, because the fleeing Wei Qi had already rushed back into the army formation.

Driven by the countercharge of the Han army, the fleeing Wei Qi approached subconsciously when he saw the formation of his own army.

Seeing this scene, Dai Ling's expression changed, and he shouted loudly: "Command! If there are any broken troops attacking the army formation, kill them immediately!"

But it was too late at this time, Wei Qi quickly swept across the army formation and retreated back.Under the influence of the defeated army, the two wings fell into chaos.

The front army in the marching Wei army didn't know the reason, and looked at why these Wei cavalry fled in a daze.Immediately afterwards, the charging Han army soldiers appeared in front of them, and when they reacted, more than a thousand Han army soldiers took advantage of the situation to chase and kill them.

Su Gu had already taken the lead, followed by the Chijiawei, and rushed straight to the middle army of the Wei army.

"kill!!"

Su Gu roared, his left mace separated the incoming spear, and at the same time he slammed forward with his right mace, just in front of him, a Wei soldier who couldn't dodge was knocked unconscious by his right mace.

The army formation of the soldiers of the Wei army fell into short-term chaos because of the escape of Wei Qi and the intrusion of Su Gu and others.And not long after, the red-armored guards in heavy armor broke into the formation with a ring-sword in their hands, and the gap in the Wei army's formation became wider and wider, and the area of ​​​​the Wei army's chaos became larger and larger.

Dai Ling, who was riding on a horse, could clearly see that the front of the Central Front Army was already in chaos, and if the Han army broke through further, the entire army would basically collapse.

Dai Ling's face was heavy, in order to save the losing situation, he could only personally lead the soldiers under his command who were still obeying orders to step forward to support.

Su Gu, who was in the front line, felt the pressure for the first time. His first reaction was not fear, but joy, because he knew that this was the performance of the enemy's dying struggle.

Su Gu became more and more excited, armed with two maces, and relying on his solid armor, he led more than a dozen red armored guards around him to the enemy's line, looking for Dai Ling.

Just when Dai Ling led the army to press for support, Deng Ai led the Yuanrong crossbowmen to follow, one stayed on the periphery to shoot the Wei soldiers accurately, and some entered the battle with sharp knives to support the red armor guards.

On the outskirts, Yuan Rong Xiaowei Dong Jun led the crossbowmen holding strong crossbows, aimed at the single Wei soldiers, pulled the crossbow machine and shot one by one, and the Wei soldiers were terrified.

Su Gu, who was deep into the enemy's line, saw Dai Ling at a glance and was about to charge over, but unexpectedly a row of shield walls appeared in front of him, preventing him from continuing to charge forward, so he had to fight side by side with the rest of the red armored guards.

At this time, Deng Ai, who was double-teaming from the flank, approached Dai Ling easily. Dai Ling also noticed Deng Ai's movement, and ran towards Deng Ai with a knife. Obviously, Deng Ai was more confident than Su Gu.

The burly Dai Ling rushed to the front with a sword and shield in hand, his feet and arms were in a posture that was convenient for offense and defense, and his shoulders were raised to gather strength. There is no doubt that Dai Ling's martial arts are not weak.

Deng Ai stood up straight, took the crossbow from left and right, aimed at Dai Ling's chest and shot it.The crossbow pierced the wind, made a special sound, and flew dozens of steps away in an instant.

Dai Ling held the shield in his left hand to block, and with a "stretch", the crossbow bolt pierced the shield surface, and sawdust splashed everywhere.

Dai Ling moved the shield down and glanced at Deng Ai, as if saying nothing more than that.

However, Deng Ai was not angry but waved his hand, motioning for everyone to raise their crossbows with a calm expression.

The crossbowman unloaded the continuous crossbow at his waist, aimed lightly, and the sound of the crossbow piercing the air reappeared, but this time there were nearly a hundred crossbows.

At such a short distance, there are now dense crossbow bolts.

Dai Ling's pupils widened, terrified, as if he was saying that Deng Ai didn't teach martial arts.

The next moment, Dai Ling's lower limbs were in pain, several short arrows were inserted into his legs, and he fell to his knees directly.The rest of the Wei soldiers seemed to want to protect Dai Ling, but soon after, Deng Ai took another powerful crossbow. The sharp crossbow pierced through the armor, tore the muscles, and shot through Ling's chest.

Dai Ling's body paused, and then fell to the ground bleeding, hot blood overflowed from under his body, and slowly flowed on the field.

The corners of Deng Ai's mouth raised, and with a clang sound, he drew out his long knife, stepping on Dai Ling's blood, stepped forward, pointed at Gaoping City, and shouted: "Kill!"

As soon as Dai Ling died, Wei Jun, who had been stubbornly resisting, collapsed directly, ran wildly for his life, threw away his helmet and armor along the way, and fled towards Gaoping City.

Not far away, Su Gu let out a long sigh, and the position of Marquis was gone again.
