Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 290
Big shield, iron armor, short halberd, eight feet tall?
Hearing the scout's description, Feng Yao suddenly thought of a very similar unit!

Xiong Wei! !
But there are some differences, the difference is that Xiong Wei uses a short gun!In addition, Xiongwei is equipped with an all-steel fine steel shield, not an ordinary wooden or leather shield, but a "thickened" fine steel shield that can withstand the attack of a bed crossbow!
Feng Yao didn't believe that Qingzhou soldiers used such a large stainless steel shield!If it is this kind of fine steel shield!Then the smaller rolling stones on the mountain will not have any effect on Qingzhou soldiers!

"Exploring again, we must find out what material the large shield held by Qingzhou soldiers is made of!" Feng Yao said.

"Obey, my lord!!" The scout responded loudly.

After the scout retreated, he thought: "There is only two minutes at most, and the enemy will attack the mountain later, but the best way to find out the material of the large shield is to get a large shield!  … What should I do?..."

But soon the scouts met several other scouts, and after discussing with each other, they decided to quietly follow Chunyu's army and take action!

The hard work paid off, and finally a Qingzhou soldier had to leave the team because of abdominal pain, and wanted to find a hidden place for convenience.

"It's him!" The scout was overjoyed, and he fell on his way to the road. When the Qingzhou soldier squatted down, he suddenly rushed up, covering his mouth, pulling his arm, and the scout drew out his dagger, and stabbed him with a knife. The neck of an unlucky Qingzhou soldier was cut off, and then he quickly took the big shield in his hand, turned around and was about to sneak away, but he turned his head again immediately, glanced at the dying Qingzhou soldier, and fixed his eyes on the short-sleeve he was holding in his hand. On the halberd.

The scout's heart moved, he turned back and took the short halberd away, and quickly disappeared into the grass.

After a while, the scout was sweating, but his face was full of excitement, and appeared in front of Feng Yao.

"My lord, my subordinates have obtained the large shield, and also retrieved the weapons of the Qingzhou soldiers! The forward led by Director Chunyu is less than two miles away from the foot of the mountain!" the scout reported.

Feng Yao nodded, took the big shield hastily, and looked at it. Fortunately, it was just a large leather shield covered with a layer of leather. This kind of leather shield can block all arrows and ordinary crossbow arrows, but it can't block the defensive arrows. The city bed crossbow's attack could not block the stone. Although the skin was strong, it was easily broken when hit by the stone.

Look at the short halberd again. It is slightly shorter than Xiong Wei's long spear. If you want to attack the opponent, you must remove the large shield first. It is easy to break or be cut by an axe!
In addition, there is another biggest difference, Xiong Wei's large fine steel shield has a circular gap on the side, which can be used to stab the short-handed spear through the gap without removing the large shield while forming a shield wall!

"Although Qingzhou soldiers are fierce, they are not as good as Xiong Wei!" Feng Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, the enemy was less than a mile away from the foot of the mountain, but they still had no intention of stopping.

Xiong Wei looked calm, and the county soldiers were fairly calm, but the young man began to get scared, with fear in his eyes.

If there were enough troops, Feng Yao didn't want to keep these strong men here. These strong men had to wait until the Rolling Stone and Lei Mu were activated before letting them go back!

It is still very necessary to boost morale in a timely manner. Feng Yao put on his armor, neatly dressed, and stood majestically on the high platform.

Seeing Feng Yao coming out, those strong men who gathered because of uneasiness cheered up immediately, and quickly surrounded them.

"Envoy Feng! The enemy is about to attack, what should we do?" the leader asked respectfully.

Feng Yao glanced around and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. If the enemy comes to attack, there will be bear guards to defend against the enemy. You just need to push down the rolling stones and other objects according to the order, and the enemy will be defeated! The enemy has been defeated. , you can return to the city and receive the reward!!"

Hearing the words, all the strong men became courageous and shouted angrily: "Please rest assured!! Our work is not in vain all day and night! As long as you give an order, let them know the history of our Rolling Stones! !” After saying that, they all screamed angrily to build up their courage, and rushed to various places, making preparations.

Feng Yao nodded, looked at the Qingzhou soldiers who had already entered his line of sight, and an elusive smile flashed across his face.

Zishui didn't completely cut off the flow at this time, but it was very shallow, so shallow that you could actually cross the river. This was a temporary change made by Feng Yao in order to prevent Cao Ren from being suspicious. The place where the flow was cut off was also behind the mountain. , If you don't go up to the top of the mountain, or turn over the mountain, you can't see it from the front.

Because the time was too short, Feng Yao only had a few thousand arrows in his hand. Even if all these arrows were shot at the soldiers without armor, they could only kill more than a thousand people. Moreover, it was difficult to prevent Cao Ren from deploying defensive facilities overnight. He found out that there was an ambush on the mountain, so Feng Yao gave up his plan to ambush from the beginning.

And Feng Yao's real purpose was to make Cao Ren underestimate the enemy. As long as Cao Ren relied on his strength and wanted to rush forward, it would be a success!

At the foot of the mountain, there are some special marks, and the ones to be marked are dug traps!As long as Qingzhou soldiers step into the trap, there will be their burial ground!

Just when they were about to approach these traps, dozens of scouts rushed out of the enemy army, scattered forward to explore the terrain!

"Oops! These scouts will find the trap!" Feng Yao said badly, stood up abruptly, and took down a command flag.

After waving the flag, Feng Yao shouted: "Archers attack!! Shoot those scouts!!!"

For this ambush, every bear guard is equipped with a bow and arrow, as the main force of the long-range attack!

Xiong Wei heard the order and all stood up, condescending, looking at the enemy at the foot of the mountain, and pulled the bow and arrow with all his might!
"Shoot!!" "Shoot!!" "Shoot the enemy to death!!"...

The buzzing bowstrings vibrated at the same time, and iron arrows "swish" and flew out of the air with a terrifying howling sound!

In an instant, two thousand iron arrows rained down on the enemy! !

Before the enemy scouts had time to evade, the dozens of those who rushed forward were pierced by the arrows falling from the sky, and fell down screaming. Only a few lucky scouts were only slightly injured, and they retreated in panic!
The Qingzhou soldiers behind raised their big shields to block most of the arrows. Only a dozen Qingzhou soldiers reacted slowly and were shot to death by the arrows.

"Be careful! The enemy has an ambush!! All soldiers, form a shield wall!!" Director Chunyu shouted loudly in the formation.

Almost at the same time, Feng Yao also shouted loudly from the top of the mountain: "Shoot me again! I want them to lose sight of the road ahead!!"

Xiong Wei took the lead and shot again, but this time almost no Qingzhou soldiers were hurt!
Qingzhou soldiers laughed loudly, "With a few arrows, you want to block the progress of Qingzhou warriors like me? Just dream!! Even if there are rolling stones coming down from the mountain, I will not be afraid!!"

Director Chunyu also glanced at the loose team on the mountain with disdain, and ordered loudly: "Rush up the mountain, there are not many of them, kill them all!"
