The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

"550 steps!"

With a shout, the Arbalest observer confirmed the first distance between the two sides.

The distance of 550 steps is already the maximum killing distance of the Han army's powerful crossbow.

At this time, the [-] Jin army had already divided into thousands of troops, detouring from the farmland on both sides, preparing to attack both sides of Baishan Town at the same time.

"520 steps!"

The Arbalest observer made another report.

The current heavy crossbows of the Han army include the eight-niu crossbow, the divine arm bow, and the bed crossbow, which are extremely powerful and ultra-long-range heavy crossbows.

Among them, the Eight Ox Crossbow is equipped with three types of powerful crossbow arrows, the most technologically advanced of which is the Iron Bone Wolf Fang Arrow.

This kind of powerful crossbow has a terrifying attack range of more than 500 steps.

"Get ready, when we take five hundred steps, fire a volley of crossbow arrows!"

Luo Cheng shouted coldly in front of the crossbow array.

Liu Yu, who was in the rear army, also watched the war with cold eyes.

In the cold weapon era, the crossbow was the most powerful long-range strike.

In particular, the Eight Ox Crossbow, Divine Arm Bow, and Bed Crossbow have almost brought the crossbow to its peak.

The Song Dynasty had very strict control over heavy crossbows such as the Divine Arm Crossbow.

The Song Dynasty also formulated special regulations that prohibit private manufacture, private use, destruction and loss of crossbows by soldiers, such as divine arm crossbows and other crossbows.

For example, the divine arm bow has been used by the Song army for a long time. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, it was still a weapon that frightened the Jin army.

It can be said that a powerful crossbow array is enough to cover the enemy's vanguard and cause a morale blow to the opponent.

After a while, the Jin army finally rushed to a distance of [-] steps.

"emission!"

Luo Cheng had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the crossbow observer reported the distance, he roared and waved his flag to order the launch.

swoosh swish~
Dozens of heavy crossbows on the high ground on both sides fired dense crossbow arrows instantly.

The crossbow arrow broke through the air, spanned a distance of five hundred steps, and shot into Jin Jun's body with a crash.

"what!"

"Oh!"

There were many casualties among the troops in front of the Jin Army array!
In addition to being killed directly if hit on the head or face, the rest of those hit will also be penetrated by the armor defense, causing injuries such as broken bones and tendons.

As for whether he will die after that, that depends on fate!
The casualties caused by these Han army crossbow arrows made the Jin army soldiers panic!

The tragic howling made the surrounding Jin Army soldiers extremely frightened.

"Don't stop!"

"Keep going!"

Pu Gukeyi and Han Sixiao, two members of the Jin army, personally supervised the battle and shouted loudly with their own soldiers to maintain order in the army.

A round of crossbow cavalry fire caused hundreds of casualties to the Jin army. Luo Cheng nodded with satisfaction, but he did not dare to neglect at all and shouted loudly:
"Don't stop, keep cumming, keep cumming!"

As a vanguard marshal, Luo Cheng knew that from the time the heavy crossbow hurts the enemy to the final close encounter with the enemy, he could only fire three or four rounds in between.

Following the order, the Han army began to fire volleys one after another from the position.

These roaring crossbow arrows were like a shroud of death, making the advancing Jin soldiers feel trembling.

If it weren't for the supervising team behind them, they would have been so frightened that they ran away.

Naturally, Pu Gu Keyi and Han Sixiao, two Han people from Wanhu, understood the thoughts of these soldiers under their command.

"Drum!"

"Speed ​​up the charge, and the crossbow arrows of the Han army will be useless!!"

"Come on, brothers!"

"Charge forward and the rebel's crossbow will be useless!"

"There are so many of us, let's kill them!"

The officers under Park Gu Keyi and Han Sixiao shouted to boost morale, and made the Jin Army soldiers under them, all pale and hairy, run wildly and charge.

swoosh swish~
Intensive crossbow arrows filled the sky, and shrill screams enveloped the front army of Jin's soldiers.

It has to be said that the horrific damage caused by the heavy crossbow made the soldiers of Jin Army feel frightened.

In particular, the Eight Ox Crossbows used by most of the Han army shot batches of spiked arrows, killing a group of Jin soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers.

A barbed crossbow arrow is extremely terrifying.

Under the crossbow arrows of the Han army.

Sergeant Jin panicked.

Hold back.

"Damn it, kill it, didn't you see that His Majesty is watching from behind?"

"Supervisor team, kill!"

The Jin Army Supervisory Team came up to fight, and stabbed the Jin Army who was afraid of the battle with a knife.

The slaughter from behind by the supervising team had made the Jin Army soldiers forget their fear.

Sergeant Jin rushed towards the Han army's crossbow array behind the wall.

They all believed that as long as they continued to rush forward, the Han thieves hiding behind the low wall would definitely not be their opponents.

A small low wall is their last hurdle!
But everyone knows that this low wall half a man's height is actually a link in Liu Yu's complete defense chain.

The low wall, which is half a man's height, not only facilitates the defenders to wield spears and fire crossbows, but also gives the enemy the illusion that it is very easy to climb over.

Once the attacking enemy rushes forward, it will be impossible to easily climb over the low wall with the cooperation of hard crossbows and spears.

On the battlefield, there were endless screams, and the Jin army fell one after another.

At the cost of two to three thousand corpses, the Jin soldiers finally came within a hundred steps of the Han army's crossbow array.

The morale of Sergeant Jin was greatly shaken.

Immediately draw your bow and nock an arrow, or charge bravely.

"kill!"

Amidst the roars, the Jin soldiers in the front row had already rushed to a place thirty steps away.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

The Jin soldiers began to fight back because they were within the range of their bows and arrows.

A large number of arrows suppressed and swept forward, and the Han army's crossbow formation immediately began to increase casualties.

However, when Sergeant Jin rushed fifteen steps to the low wall.

suddenly.

In the originally quiet Han infantry array behind the crossbow array, there was a burst of intensive whistles.

Immediately afterwards, the Han infantry spit out rockets covered with burning grease at the Jin soldiers rushing forward!
swoosh swish~
The dense crossbow rockets roared in, instantly killing the Jin Army soldiers charging in the front row to the ground, emitting a pungent smoky smell.

However, as the rockets fell, a scene of panic appeared for the soldiers of the Jin Army's front army to charge.

Boom~
Boom~
Like a spark that instantly started a prairie fire, the fire rose in an instant.

A large number of former soldiers of the Jin Army were covered in flames and screamed in pain.

Liu Yu, who was in the rear army, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before the low walls, the dyes were gasoline and kerosene.

The fire burned, and nearly a thousand gold troops were burned and cried to death.

All the other Jin troops panicked and were afraid to move forward.

However, the next moment, what made Sergeant Jin collapse was that the leader behind him asked them to bypass the flames and continue the attack.

But they saw that the raging fire was burning in front of the Han Army's crossbow formation, blocking the Jin Army, and forming a protection for the Han Army's crossbow formation.

However, there were no flames on both sides of the Han army's crossbow formation.

The Jin Army Supervisory Team shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Jin Army no longer had any queues, and they charged from both sides of the flames with complete breath.The Han army's crossbow array was protected by fire, and through the flames, they continued to shoot Jin soldiers.

"kill!"

"Brothers, go ahead and kill us!"

Pu Gukeyi, Han Sixiao and other generals were shouting at the rear to supervise the battle. The Han army's low wall was already in front of them, and no matter how scared they were, they could not retreat.

When the Jin Army soldiers in the front row rushed to the outside of the low wall, the Han Army spearmen inside suddenly thrust out their spears!

These spearmen struck fast and hard, instantly killing and wounding the Jin Army soldiers in the front row.

Because of the obstruction of the low wall, the Jin army's offensive effect was also very limited.

The fierce charge came to a standstill in an instant under the obstruction of the low wall.

The Jin soldiers in the back row kept crowding forward, and the Jin soldiers in the front row could not move at all and could only use their bodies to meet the Han army's spears.

Moreover, the Han army's crossbow formation still did not stop.

At every moment, a large number of Jin Army soldiers died on the outside of the low wall.

"what!"

"You're going to kill me!"

"I don't want to fight!"

The shrill screams came from among the Jin army!

Many Jin soldiers were instantly pierced by crossbow arrows.

The Jin soldiers on the outside of the low wall fell to the ground one after another like scythes cutting weeds!
The dense array of the Jin Army suffered all-round attacks!
The morale of the soldiers in the front row instantly collapsed.

"Escape!"

"Escape!"

The Jin soldiers in the front row gave up the attack behind the low wall and turned around to push the friendly troops to the rear.

Upon seeing this, a large number of Jin Army soldiers immediately retreated to the rear and fled.

When Pu Gukeyi, Han Sixiao and other Jin army generals saw this, they drew their swords and killed the deserters around them in anger.

However, the number of people who retreated was too large and they couldn't be stopped at all!
A large number of Jin Army soldiers swept towards the rear like a flood. Many Jin Army soldiers were pushed to the ground. After a few screams, they were trampled to death by friendly forces!

In just one stick of incense, the Jin Army's powerful attack turned into a complete rout!

The Jin army on the front retreated greatly. The Jin army on the left and right wings had not reached the outflanking position at this time, so they had to give up the outflank and hurriedly retreated to the rear.

The huge crowd fled back for more than 600 steps before finally stopping.

This is not because the Jin army defeated and restored order, but because they were almost exhausted.

The rapid defeat of a formidable enemy made Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Jin Kingdom stunned.

"Why are these Han thieves so powerful with their hard crossbows? Damn it, why don't we, the Jin Kingdom, have such a powerful heavy crossbow!!"

Wanyan Zongqian was shocked, angry and helpless.

"Your Majesty, the Han thieves are very powerful with their crossbows!" Pusan ​​Alan said shaking his head at the side.

At this time, Pu Gukeyi and Han Sixiao, two ten thousand households, ran to Wanyan Zongqian in a state of embarrassment to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, the general will be defeated in the first battle and will be punished by death!"

"Your Majesty please punish!"

Facing the two defeated generals Pu Gu Keyi and Han Sixiao, Wanyan Zongqian did not show any anger.

After all, Wanyan Zongqian clearly saw this failed attack from beginning to end.

There was no problem at all with Park Gu Keyi and Han Sixiao's formation. Even Wanyan Zongqian's attack would require the same tactics.

"I have seen that the Han thieves are cunning and will allow the two of you to perform meritorious service for your crime. Immediately gather your troops and prepare to attack again!" Wanyan Zonggan said with a cold face.

After a pause, Wanyan Zongqian took a deep breath and said:

"This time, I will personally lead the Jin Kingdom's most elite troops to attack the Han army behind you. This battle will definitely be won!"

Pu Gukeyi and Han Sixiao's subordinates were all composed of Han refugees and Jurchen criminals. Wanyan Zongqian didn't feel bad at all for using their lives to test the situation of the rebels.

However, Wanyan Zongqian also understood that if he wanted to defeat the Han army, the elite of the Jin Kingdom must appear.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Park Gu Keyi and Han Sixiao were shocked in their hearts and accepted the order again.

This time, after forming the formation, the Jin Army did not launch an attack immediately, but held a disciplinary demonstration in front of the formation!
Dozens of Jin soldiers who were the first to escape were defeated and knelt in front of the entire army with their arms tied, performing a beheading demonstration.

"You bastards, listen to me!"

"Anyone who dares to escape again will end up like this!"

Pu Gukeyi gave an order, and the executioners all dropped their knives, and dozens of heads fell to the ground instantly.

There was silence in the Jin Army array!
Everyone was taken aback.

Now, if they retreat, they will definitely die.

Because at least more than 1000 Jurchen cavalry have lined up behind these armies. Anyone who dares to escape will definitely be hacked to death by his own people.

"Send 3000 men to the left wing. We should be able to attack there!"

"Send another 2000 people to attack the right wing. There are anti-thief Eight Ox Crossbows there. You can't charge them head-on!"

Park Gu Keyi and Han Sixiao discussed the tactics and then commanded the army to attack again.

The front of Baishan Town was wide enough to hold a large formation of 2 people. In order to avoid the damage caused by the Han army's Eight Bull Crossbows, Pu Gu Keyi and his two men made the depth of the army shallower and opened up a wider front, thinking that We must launch a three-sided all-out attack on Baishan Town!
With the orders issued, more than 1 Jin Army soldiers launched an attack on Baishan Town again.

This time, the Jin Kingdom's siege of Baishan Town was wider and no longer intensive.

After entering a distance of [-] steps, the Han army's Eight Bull Crossbow and Divine Arm Crossbow attacked again, and the Jin Army soldiers fell to the ground one by one screaming.

However, this time it was as ordinary as Park Gu Keyi and the other two people thought. As the offensive surface widened, the offensive effect of the Han army's crossbow array was immediately greatly reduced.

"Kill!"

After crossing the low wall, the Jin soldiers were excited, and each one of them was greatly shaken in morale and attacked the Han army.

"Damn it, these cunning Jin Army!" Seeing that the Jin Army was about to engage in hand-to-hand combat with his soldiers, and the effect of the crossbow array was greatly reduced, Luo Cheng couldn't help but curse.

"Come on, the infantry will charge, the shield soldiers will protect the archers, and the archers will provide battlefield support to the infantry!" Liu Yu took a deep breath and said.

At the same time, Liu Yu also mounted the Zhulong BMW. He also had a hook halberd and a double-edged spear in his hand, but he was ready to charge in person.

Since becoming King Wu, Liu Yu has not fought on the battlefield for a long time.

However, this battle is of great significance.

He, Liu Yu, was the Hongwu Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was the magic weapon in his hand to destroy the Jin Kingdom!
Simultaneously.

outside the battlefield.

Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Kingdom of Jin was overjoyed when he saw that Pu Gukeyi and his men really led the soldiers to engage the Han army in close combat.

Immediately, Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Kingdom of Jin pointed forward and shouted: "The whole army is listening to the order and prepare to charge!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers of the Jin Army responded in unison, and then they quickly gathered their troops.

Teams of elite soldiers of the Jin Army, armored and strong, followed the Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Jin Kingdom.

"I heard that Liu Yu, Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty, is in the town. Today, either the Emperor of the Han Dynasty or I will die. Do you dare to follow me and fight to the death with the Han army?"

Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Kingdom of Jin raised his sword and shouted sternly.

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty! Kill Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty!"

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty! Kill Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty!"

……

There was a deafening roar, but Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Jin Kingdom was quite satisfied. Then he looked at the banner of the Han army with murderous intent on his face.

"Liu Yu, I thought there was no hope for the Kingdom of Jin. Who knew that you would show up here? You are really looking for death. As long as I kill you, the Han Dynasty will definitely be in chaos!" Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Kingdom of Jin said coldly.

"kill!"
