Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 396
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust raised by the cavalry, [-] heavy soldiers of the Chu army were busy busy.

The supply general of the Chu army was waving a Leng Sensen horizontal knife, and was loudly reprimanding his soldiers.

"Quick, dig quickly, don't be slow, give me all the energy I need, hurry up!"

"What about you, what the hell are you still doing in a daze, waiting for the cavalry of the Han army to rush up and chop your head off?!"

"You, you, and you bastards, move the row of deer villages to me, and bury them firmly!"

"Damn it, how many times have I told you that the horse-repelling gun is not the way to tie it. If you tie it like this, the cavalry will be fucked up as soon as it charges, and the bird is used? It should be like this, and you will make a mistake next time. Be careful, I will kill you ?”

Under the command and dispatch of the supply general and the stern reprimand, the [-] supply soldiers were divided into several groups. One group rode in the chariot formation, another group dug trenches and buried deer villages outside the chariot formation, and another group deployed carbine-repelling guns inside the chariot formation. However, to deal with the cavalry, it is absolutely not enough to rely on Zhang Xugao's chariot formation, and it must be supplemented by deer villages and refusal carbine guns.

Fortunately, the deer village and the refusal carbine are ready-made, and they are loaded in the baggage cart.

In less than half an hour, thousands of heavy vehicles formed a long formation on the left flank of the Chu army, and their tails even bent inward, protecting the rear of the entire Chu army formation. Outside the chariot formation, a large number of pits were dug, large or small, shallow or deep, and deer villages were buried in the pits near the chariot formation.

In the car formation, there are several rows of carbine-repelling guns facing outwards at an angle of 45 degrees. Although the length of these carbine-repelling guns is less than two feet long, they are packed extremely densely and firmly. It was polished so sharp that if any cavalry jumped over the chariot formation and rushed into the formation, they would definitely be tied into horse meat skewers by these carbine-rejecting guns!

Of course, these are just defensive measures, and the Chu army's heavy soldiers can't just defend.

Seeing that the supply soldiers were almost busy, the supply general jumped onto the chariot formation, raised the sharp horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted sharply: "The crossbows are ready, the archers are ready..."

The baggage soldiers did not have time to catch their breath, so they stood behind the crossbows one after another, and more baggage soldiers took out a handful of longbows and bundles of arrows from the open baggage carriage, Then he walked to the back of the carbine-rejecting gun, laid out a slightly scattered bow array, and put arrows one by one in front of his feet for easy access at any time.

When everything was ready, the supply general yelled again: "Raise the fire and send a signal!"

On the banks of the Mianshui River, the Chu and Han cavalry swept towards the eastern wilderness like a wind and clouds.

At this moment, the Chu cavalry on the outermost side and the Han cavalry on the innermost side have been mixed together. The cavalry of both sides drew their swords and slashed desperately. Draw the bow and release the arrows, pouring waves of arrow rain on the opponent's head while galloping.

In the shadow of swords and swords, under the rain of arrows, cavalrymen from both sides screamed and fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into flesh by the cavalrymen rushing by like a tide. However, for the huge cavalry groups of the two countries, such a small number of casualties , It's like a small wave in the long river, it just blooms and disappears in an instant.

Among thousands of troops and horses, Meng Keng galloped his horse while drawing his bow and shooting arrows towards the Han army on the right. With every bow he drew, a Han cavalryman would fall off his horse in response. At a certain moment, when When Meng Keng went to his back to get the arrows, he found nothing, and the bag full of thirty arrows had already been shot!

"Damn it!" Meng Keng cursed, and when he was about to ask his soldiers for arrows, a general rushed up from behind and shouted loudly, "Look, general, wolf smoke! Fire up smoke!" Already!"

"Huh?!" When Meng Keng heard the sound and looked back anxiously, he saw a puff of wolf smoke rising from the Chu army formation, and the smoke and dust in the sky could not cover it up. The knife was raised high above the top, and when the rein was reined in, the horse under the crotch raised its head and neighed long, and galloped diagonally towards the northeast.

Under the guidance of Meng Keng, the fifty thousand Chuqi slowly began to turn.

Zhou Guanfu was riding a red dragon horse and wielding a pair of iron halberds, wantonly killing Chu cavalry.

Zhou Guanfu's martial arts are superb, and ordinary cavalry is no match for him at all. Even the generals of the Chu army can seldom go up and down under his halberd. The two Chu cavalry screamed and fell off their horses. After chasing and killing them all the way, there were no fewer than a hundred Chu cavalry who died under Zhou Guanfu's halberd!
"Hahaha, happy, so fucking happy!" Zhou Guanfu couldn't help laughing when he killed two cavalry again.

But soon, Zhou Guanfu discovered that the Chu cavalry had adjusted their direction and gradually lost contact with the Han cavalry. Zhou Guanfu's eyes were fixed for a moment, and he said fiercely: "Want to run? There is no door!" The next moment, Zhou Guanfu's long legs With a slight push, the red dragon horse under his crotch let out a long roar, and it also slanted towards the northeast.

Under the leadership of Zhou Guanfu, the cavalry of the Han army and the cavalry of the Hu people also began to turn.

At this time, if you look down from a high altitude, you can see an extremely magnificent and magnificent picture scroll. The two huge cavalry are like two big rivers rushing eastward. It flowed to the north, then turned again, and flowed westward in a mighty way...

Soon, the cavalry of the two armies rushed into the billowing smoke and could no longer be seen.

Because at this time, the smoke and dust rising at the beginning have not completely dissipated. Under the cover of the billowing smoke and dust, even Zhou Guanfu, who has excellent eyesight, can only see the faint figure of the Chu army on the opposite side. Only the cavalry in the middle of the two armies can see each other's figure clearly, and then continue to intersect swords and swords, fighting to the death...

##########
Meng Keng held his horizontal saber high and galloped ahead of the Chu army's cavalry formation.

The wind whistled backwards, and the smoke and dust rolled up. Although his face was covered with a veil, a large amount of smoke and dust continued to choke his mouth and nose through the gaps in the veil, making him almost unable to attract him. Looking back, he could faintly see the infinite Among the endless figures of cavalry, some are from the Chu army, but more are from the Han army.

The smoke ahead is thinning out over time.

All of a sudden, a long car formation suddenly revealed its majesty from the front.

The next moment, Meng Keng reined in his horse lightly, and the horse under his crotch changed direction again, galloping slantingly towards the north, and the cavalry of the Chu Army who followed behind them also reined in their horses, and followed Meng Keng to sail towards the north in a mighty manner. , the huge cavalry was almost obliquely cutting past the outer edge of the chariot formation, almost stepping on the horse trap dug by his own people.

##########
Almost at the same time, Zhou Guanfu also saw the Chu army's chariots lying ahead.

At this time, if the Han cavalry did not want to collide with the Chu army's chariots from the front, they had only two choices, or avoid in the opposite direction to the Chu army's cavalry, and then watch the Chu army's cavalry calmly go north and get rid of contact. , or detour in the same direction, still biting the buttocks of the Chu army cavalry!
Without any hesitation, Zhou Guanfu chose the latter—to hold on tight!
Zhou Guanfu had already seen the bed crossbow placed on the Chu army's chariot formation, and he even guessed that there must be a large number of archers standing behind the Chu army's chariot formation, but so what?Although the bed crossbow has great lethality, its rate of fire is extremely slow. How many times can it be fired during the short period of time when the cavalry of the Han army galloped past the chariot formation?
As for the archers behind the Chu army's chariot formation, it's even more of a problem.

The riding skills of the cavalry of the Han army are hardly inferior to that of Yuehu, Xiutu, Hunxie and other barbarians. At that time, hiding on the side of the horse or even under the belly of the horse will be enough to avoid the cover of the Chu army's arrow rain!In short, Zhou Guanfu received the king's order to bite the Chu army's cavalry until he killed all the Chu army's cavalry...

"Oh..." Zhou Guanfu let out a long growl, and rode his horse galloping towards the north.

The Han cavalry and Hu cavalry who followed behind turned their horses around one after another, made a big bend in front of the Chu army's chariot, bit the Chu army's ass and continued to chase, but the number of Han cavalry was far greater Passing the Chu army, the inertia of the formation is greater, and the arc required for turning is also greater. Therefore, the outermost Han cavalry inevitably crashed into the chariot formation.

In front of the chariot formation, people turned upside down. A large number of Han cavalry stepped into the horse pit or hit the deer village. The horses hissed and fell to the ground one by one. The Han cavalry was thrown high by the huge inertia. In the air, when he landed again, he was either pierced by the sharp deer fortress, or trampled into flesh by the surging follow-up cavalry.

However, this is just an appetizer, and the nightmare of the Han army has just begun.

On the chariot formation of the Chu army, the horizontal knife held high by the general of the supply chain suddenly fell, and the [-] heavy supply soldiers smashed down the wooden hammers in their hands without hesitation. The [-] Liannu showed their ferocious fangs in an instant, and each of them had five arrows with a total of four thousand giant arrows as thick as a child's arm roaring out, and they were immediately gathered in the Han army's cavalry formation!
Among the thousands of troops, many cavalrymen of the Han army were nailed to the ground by huge arrows, including men and horses. It became a string, four thousand giant arrows, like four thousand sharp knives, gouged out four thousand blood grooves in the cavalry formation of the Han army at once.

In an instant, people in the Han army turned their backs on their horses, and the entire cavalry formation also became a riot in an instant.

Zhou Guanfu's pupils also contracted sharply. These bed crossbows of the Chu army are quite different from those of the Han army. They can fire five giant arrows at the same time? !If he hadn't reacted quickly just now and blocked the two giant arrows shot at him with the iron halberd when there was no time left, even he would have died tragically on the spot.

But soon, a scene that surprised Zhou Guanfu even more appeared, and after less than a moment, the bed crossbow on the Chu army's chariot formation unexpectedly shot a second wave of huge arrows, and the Han army was full of people on their backs again, Zhou Guanfu couldn't help it. Can you believe your eyes, how is this possible?The rate of fire of the Chu army's bed crossbow is so fast? !
