Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

At the same time, Cao Hong, who was also galloping under the protection of the surrounding cavalry, also saw a bright color in his heart, which was the light of victory.

Chu army.

As long as the Chu army is defeated here and the 4 or [-] people in front of us are killed, the plan to go abroad for the Northern Expedition will definitely be thwarted.Because of the loss of an army, there will be many effects.

The biggest impact is that it takes a year, or even more than a year, to go abroad to recruit these 4 to [-] soldiers.While replenishing, it also consumed a labor force of [-] to [-] people.

The impact is absolutely omnipresent.If the Chu army is really silent for more than a year because of this, it will be a very good thing for Yongliang. On the one hand, the political atmosphere between Yongliang and Liang will become more rigorous, and the agricultural income between Yongliang and Liang will further increase.Correspondingly, Wei's various abilities will also be restored.

At that time, the aid to Qin and Liang will be increased.

With the ability of Wei State, further upgrade Qin State and Liang State, and become an important force against Chu State in the west.

Kou Feng moved the gambling city from Xiangyang to Chengdu, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Upgrade Qin and Liang, and see how Chu expands.

At this moment, Cao Hong was in the same mood as Ma Chao. They both seemed to see the dawn of victory beckoning to them. On the contrary, they also seemed to see the [-] soldiers of the Chu army falling down screaming and wailing.

That kind of scene is really intoxicating.

"Kill." Cao Hong also let out a loud roar.

The wind was faster, the sound of horseshoes was louder, and the cavalry charged faster.Rush over, rush over, rush over, and kill this Chu army.

It's a fire.

This fire filled the hearts of almost every Xiliang cavalryman, and it became more and more fierce.

But even when the Xiliang iron cavalry was getting closer and seemed to have the upper hand, the faces of the soldiers of the Chu army in front remained the same as before, without changing color at all.

They are very calm.

That calm demeanor made many Xiliang knights laugh wildly in their hearts, they were nothing more than scapegoats, they were pretending to be cruel.

Under the ridicule of the Xiliang knights, the guards of the Chu army held their spears in both hands, ready to resist the impending cavalry charge.The Liannu soldier calmly pulled the trigger again.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Ridicule, this is blatant ridicule.When the sky full of iron arrows appeared again, it was tantamount to ridicule for Ma Chao and Cao Hong.

I thought that the Chu army was nothing more than that, but I didn't expect that the hand crossbow would be fired again after a brief period of time.And endlessly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Again and again, over and over again, with the giant arrows of the repeating ballista among them.

"Puchi, puchi."

"Ah, ah, ah."

As the Xiliang Iron Cavalry approached, the power of the Liannu became more and more powerful. When it was fired for the first time, the Liannu only played the role of interference. It only harassed the horse and made the horse lose its balance. trampled into flesh.

But as the distance got closer, the iron arrows shot from the crossbow began to penetrate the leather armor of the knights, directly nailing the knights to death on the horses.As a result, the howls before death became louder and more terrifying.

"What?" Almost at the moment when the Liannu soldiers fired arrows again, Ma Chao's eyes almost protruded, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Did he read it right?Those crossbowmen of the Chu army didn't load the iron arrows again, they didn't even move, but an iron arrow still popped out from the crossbow.

At this moment, Ma Chao was more than unbelievable.Is it really true that the world is not crazy.Because this completely broke Ma Chao's understanding of hand crossbows.

There are crossbow bolts that can fire four or five arrows at a time, but there has never been a crossbow bolt that can fire a second time in a row.This is completely against common sense.

Especially if you can open it twice in a row, you may not be able to open it three times or four times.If the enemy had a huge number of Liannu soldiers, they could have killed tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry within this small distance of two hundred steps.

This is a number that makes Ma Chao's scalp tingle.It's hard to imagine the pain of losing tens of thousands of cavalry all at once, even though the [-] troops are split between thirty and seven.

There are only [-] real Xiliang iron cavalry, and the rest are Cao Wei iron cavalry.But they all belong to the Northern Alliance. The loss of the power of the Northern Alliance is the rise of the power to go abroad.

Tens of thousands of iron cavalry, even if the 4 or [-] people in front of them are wiped out, they will lose money, and the loss will be huge.

At this moment, a strong sense of regret rose in Ma Chao's heart. He knew that there might be a trap, but he rushed over so straightforwardly.

Xiliang iron cavalry is powerful, too powerful.blinded his eyes.

In Cao Hong's heart, he was also similar to Ma Chao, but he blamed himself a little more.Because Ma Chao is young, vigorous, aggressive, and confident in his strength, it is completely normal to attack easily.

But he was almost 40 years old, and he didn't restrain the urge to attack.These nearly 40 years have really been lived on by dogs.

Cao Hong was full of regret for not dissuading Ma Chao.

But no matter how regretful these two people are, there is only one way in front of them now, and that is to make an assault desperately to capture this infantry.

"Whoosh whoosh."

The Chu army still fired two types of iron arrows, large and small, and the rain of arrows all over the sky made a strong whistling sound.Afterwards, it quickly swept through the air and shot the Xiliang cavalry in front of it.

A hundred steps, a distance of one hundred steps, is a distance like a nightmare for Xiliang cavalry.It was like an inexhaustible arrow, which made their blood splatter and howl again and again.

Countless excellent knights fell on this continuous shooting like cheating, paving the short distance of one hundred steps with blood.

"Running." For Ma Chao, this was a journey that made his heart ache so much that he couldn't bear to live. Looking at the fallen knights in pieces, Ma Chao's eyes were red.

But when the distance was close, Ma Chao yelled out the word "rush" as if venting.

Galloping and shooting is a superb technique that can only be mastered by a small number of elite cavalry.However, the shooting distance is very limited, because it can only have a greater lethality within a hundred steps.

Archery.

But two hundred steps away, the Chu army used Liannu to harass.In terms of killing range, they really lost too much.

But the next step will be fine, as long as the shooting distance is up, they will be able to shoot and kill the Chu army.Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to shoot and kill, and the lethality was unimaginable.

In fact, there is no need for Ma Chao to order. Those elite cavalry who can run and shoot have already calculated the distance.When approaching a hundred steps, they bent their bows and shot arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Countless arrows were shot by the elite cavalry, flying towards the Chu army.

"Puchi, puchi."

"Ah, ah, ah"

As the arrows flew down from the sky, the Chu army suffered casualties for the first time. Amid the sound of arrows piercing into the flesh, soldiers continued to howl and fell down.

rush.This skill is still awesome.But compared to the continuous crossbow that can be fired continuously, and the continuous crossbow bed that can shoot quickly, it is relatively clumsy.

After the Xiliang iron cavalry sent out a "running shot", the Chu army immediately responded with two or three crossbows.Thousands of Xiliang cavalry were shot and killed.

A distance of one hundred steps, a short distance of one hundred steps.

A real mid-range battle broke out between the two sides.

The arrows of both sides come and go, shooting each other.But the advantages brought by the Liannu cannot be concealed.Tens of thousands of infantry, but they fought against one hundred thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, and had an absolute upper hand.

This is a huge advantage.

"Ah, ah, ah."

Another cavalryman from Xiliang was shot by the huge arrows fired from the crossbow bed. His horse was almost pierced, and he neighed, and fell dead on the spot. drowned.

Together with his beloved steed, he was trampled to a pulp.

The power of the Liannu is that the closer the distance, the stronger the lethality.Now the Xiliang iron cavalry is basically only a few dozen steps away from the Chu army, and its lethality has also doubled.

Every Xiliang cavalry who was shot had almost no chance of surviving.Therefore, the last dozens of steps were a nightmare within a nightmare for the Xiliang cavalry.

"Pikeman, get ready." A loud roar came from Zhang Fei's mouth.

Facing cavalry, spearmen are essential preparations.Chu Dao was really struggling in front of the cavalry charge.

"Kill." Following Zhang Fei's order, the spearmen took a step back, holding the spears with both hands, and pointing them at the sky.

"Kill it."

At the same time, Ma Chao and Cao Hong also roared loudly.

Xiliang iron cavalry and Chu State infantry were ready to collide in an instant.

"Boom."

At the next moment, the crossbowmen gave up and continued to shoot arrows, and retreated more than ten steps.The cavalry also gave up running and drew their Wei swords.

The collision of cavalry and infantry began.

Amidst a loud bang, the charge of the cavalry was extremely astonishing.Rushing forward step by step, the Chu army's infantry fell down row after row in an instant.

But when they reached the third row, the spearmen did not fall.

The soldiers held their spears tightly with both hands, the veins in their hands were bulging, and their thighs were shaking, but they forcibly resisted the Xiliang cavalry's attack.

"Kill." There was a smile in Zhang Fei's eyes. In the shooting of Liannu and Liannu bed just now, the casualties of Xiliang iron cavalry were huge.According to Zhang Fei's visual estimation, the loss is definitely more than 3 people.

Another disadvantage of cavalry combat is that there are no wounded soldiers.Once off the steed, prepare to die.

3 people were killed, which means only [-] to [-] people remained.[-] infantry against an army of [-] to [-].It seems more difficult, but the battlefield is not calculable.

After the spearmen blocked the Xiliang cavalry, the Chu army parted from it, revealing an army all in armor.

The so-called broken army.
