The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1026 Breaking You Didn't Discuss

The Jin army's vans are interlocking, forming a dense long wall. No matter from which angle you look at it, they are exactly the same, and it is difficult to find its flaws.

Behind the van, the archers of the Jin army had already been waiting in full force. The sharp arrows shone with a faint cold light, protruding from the gap in the van, waiting for the cavalry of the Shu army to rush forward with an arrow. The scope of the land, so that they can show their skills.

Although Deng Pu and Fu Mo were secretly surprised when they saw the Jin army's line of vans, they didn't make them shrink back. After all, they retreated before the battle was fought.At the same time, retreating without a fight would have a severe blow to the morale of the army, which was obviously unacceptable to Deng Pu and Fu Zhao.

Another reason is that they have seen the vans used by their own army, but they don't know how powerful the vans are if they haven't personally experienced and realized the power of the vans.The drills of the infantry and cavalry of the Shu army were carried out separately, and most of the cavalry would not participate in the battle of the side-car formations. The cavalry of the Shu army only heard about how powerful the side-car formations were, and did not have the opportunity to witness them with their own eyes. .

What's more, there is a difference between the side cars of the Shu army and the side cars of the Jin army. The side cars of the Shu army are certainly powerful, but must the side cars of the Jin army be very strong?Deng Pu and Fu Zhao, who had an attitude of trying, did not deliberately slow down the attack speed of the cavalry, but rushed forward at full speed.

The first to enter the shooting range were the cavalry archers of the Shu army. They skillfully manipulated their bows and arrows on horseback. The arrow roared and flew towards the battle formation of the Jin army.

Facing the tall wooden walls, it was obviously impossible for the cavalry archers to waste their bows and arrows in vain. When they projected on these wooden walls, their arrowheads were raised two to three inches higher than usual.The arrows drew arcs in the air and shot towards the formation of vans.

At the same time, the archers of the Jin army also took action, hiding behind the chariot, without reducing the power of the bows and arrows at all.

The arrows of the two sides met in mid-air, and apart from the occasional collision, these arrows still flew tenaciously towards the target along a certain trajectory.

The bows and arrows of the two sides seem to be extremely sharp, but the results are very different. Due to the obstruction of the partial carriage, most of the arrows of the cavalry of the Shu army will be shot on the wooden carriage, even if some of the arrows can be shot into the partial carriage. The back of the car, but because the Jin soldiers behind the van were protected by shields, the damage caused was already very small.

However, the Jin army's arrows shot at the Shu army's cavalry archers without hindrance, but the Shu army, which lacked heavy armor protection, was hit by arrows one after another, causing a large number of casualties.

The Lancers' attack also didn't make much progress. Although the Lancers were wearing iron armor, their protection was much greater than that of the leather archers, but the Lancers were not the kind of heavy cavalry with both men and horses covered with heavy armor. Under the dense rain of arrows from the Jin army, it was difficult for the cavalry of the Shu army to break through. Even if they rushed to the front, it would be difficult for the cavalry of the Shu army to complete the breakthrough due to the strength of the van.

When Deng Pu and Fu Zhao saw that their victorious cavalry stumbled in front of the Jin army, they were both furious. They did not stop attacking because of the setback in the first battle, but increased their attacking strength and continued to attack. He sent additional troops and launched a fierce attack on the Jin army.

Ma Long is naturally very welcome. The most feared thing in the sidecar formation is the opponent's strong attack. When it is strong, it will be stronger. A solid line of defense is definitely a nightmare for cavalry. In front of the van, there is a lot of progress.

Luo Xian saw it clearly, and hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw the troops. The Shu army quickly retreated like a tide. On the battlefield, countless corpses of Shu soldiers and horses were left behind.

The Shu army retreated ten li, and Luo Xian ordered to set up camp. Originally, according to Luo Xian's plan, the campsite tonight was the Jin army's camp, but the result disappointed Luo Xian. Not only did the Shu army fail to capture the Jin army's position, On the contrary, a lot of troops were lost, which was equivalent to a slap in the face of Luo Xian.

In desperation, Luo Xian had no choice but to let the Shu army set up camp in place, and in the other direction, immediately called the guards of the six armies to come to the tent of the Chinese army to discuss the military situation together.

The cloud of defeat in the first battle shrouded the camp of the Shu army, and all the generals sat there with solemn expressions, without saying a word.

The collective silence of the generals made Luo Xian deeply feel this oppression, and indeed, it is not easy to break through the Jin army's partial car formation.

The power of the sidecar array lies in its defense. Although the cavalry has strong attack power, no strong attack power is useless in the face of the big defense of the sidecar. The more violent the cavalry attack, the higher the price of casualties. bigger.

Fortunately, the carriage formation moved slowly and could only defend but not attack. The cavalry of the Shu army came and went freely, attacking when they wanted to attack, and defending when they said they wanted to defend.

Now the generals are at a loss, and they have no good way to destroy this sidecar, but Wang Qi suddenly remembered, and said: "The Yong'an army's sidecar formation was also used in the battle of Jiexiu earlier. It was destroyed by Liu Yuan, so why not Dudu Luo follow suit and destroy the partial carriage of the Jin people."

Only then did Luo Xian suddenly realize that the Yong'an army was indeed broken through by Liu Yuan's Huns in the battle of Jiexiu. Without this equipment, let alone use it.

Catapults are not a rare thing, but they are only equipped in the infantry army. Among the cavalry corps, there is no such unit that slows down the speed. If it drags on for a long time, the battle situation will become more and more passive.

At this moment, a tall and burly figure quickly stepped into the tent, smiled at Luo Xian and the generals, and said, "Commander Luo, Deputy Commander Wang, how are you generals?"

Luo Xian saw that it was Liu Yin's personal soldiers who led A Jian. Although A Jian was not a high-ranking person, he was Liu Yin's confidant. Say a nice word."

Ah Jian said with a smile: "After you left, Liu Huanqi suddenly thought of something, but he called me urgently, saying that the right army's going would inevitably suffer setbacks, so Liu Huanqi specially ordered me to come to help in the battle, waiting for Dudu Luo's order."

Luo Xian sighed and said: "Liu Huan is also a master of cavalry, he can predict that our army will be defeated, but Ma Long's side car formation is very powerful, it is difficult to deal with."

"I came here just for this purpose. It's easy to break Jin people's van." On A Jian's face, there was a confident and calm smile.
