Chapter 236

There will never be a lack of noise in the battlefield, and the sound will be so noisy that it is relatively difficult to rely on sound to distinguish movement and silence.

In summer, everything is dry, and a large number of people trample on the dust and fog area, which is very easy to appear. If you drag the branches deliberately, the smoke will definitely cover an area. Let alone the people outside can't see clearly, the people inside can only squint.

Five hundred dragon guards were ordered to attack. They warmed up in the valley for a period of time. They said they should attack immediately after the order was issued.

"The new troops have gone up." Cui Xuan's face was gloomy: "they are just used as bait. They don't have much effect."

Jin people have always served as soldiers in the Zhao army in Shijie. If you want to join the army at the county and county level, in addition to being strong, you should also have family members as hostages.

In fact, seeing the Han flag erected by the Han Army had a great impact on the hearts of those Jin soldiers in the Zhao army in Shijie. Although they are soldiers at the county and county level, their treatment and living environment are not very good. Even because they are soldiers at the county and county level, they lack labor at home, and every family is even more difficult.

Some Jin people who became soldiers in counties and counties were small landlords themselves and knew more than ordinary people, such as what the Han flag represented. They also know another point. For example, since last year, the court's attitude towards the Jin people is to kill all the Jin people!

The living environment has been bad all the time, and then they have been bullied wantonly. To say how willing Jin people are to work for Shijie, it can only be said that they are a very small part, and more simply have no choice.

"Wait a minute. Don't rush forward foolishly." He Zimin lowered his voice and asked his cousin: "shout, follow the cry, but it's not necessary to work hard!"

"That is." He Zishan ignored: "big guy doesn't want to work hard with the Han army."

It may have nothing to do with identity. It's the simple truth of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck. The Han army is not a mob. It fought fiercely and fiercely, and there will never be a good end to fighting with it. Another thing is that when Shijie soldiers win without reward, but when they lose, they will be abandoned in the wilderness. If they take a step back, they will be beheaded and abandoned. They have to fight, but this time they are not allowed to retreat without strict orders.

The whispering voice is not only generated among the Jin soldiers, but also the transferred zahu soldiers are talking in a low voice. The same attitude as the Jin soldiers is that the zahu soldiers don't want to work hard.

If Jin soldiers are more or less "thinking of Han complex", zahu soldiers obviously don't want to die.

"The soldiers of those big families can't win. How can we do it?"

"That is, how can we win when they are ready to collapse."

Not only the soldiers, but also the officers of the state of Zhao in Shijie do not want to work hard. The main reason is that they know their weight. The grade of armor and equipment of the Han army is too high, and the operation is too fierce. It is no longer the battle situation that only working hard can offset the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Moreover, on the premise of punishment without reward, what are the reasons for their desperate efforts?

One side is confident and determined to fight, and the other is going to fish in troubled waters. The new outbreak of fighting has been doomed from the beginning.

"It depends on whether the Han army was deceived." Deng Heng must know the mentality of his troops and be fully prepared: "if the Dragon guards can repel the Han Army, the rest of the troops should move forward appropriately. We need this forward camp."

Deng Heng did not think that the Han army would set fire to the mountains. They really need a forward position. If they were not squeezed in the mountains, they would be able to defend, but they would be completely passive at that time.

"The next batch of reinforcements has been rushed day and night. They are expected to arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest." Cui Xuan looked worried: "this tug of war... The casualties are too heavy to return to the mountains?", He is worried that if this continues, the morale will continue to be low and the whole army will retreat.

The two talked orthogonally, and a new round of battle on the battlefield began again.

The attack echelon composed of Jin people and Za Hu just fired arrows on the periphery, dawdling is not to launch an attack. This is not only the attitude of the soldiers, but also that even the officers have no expectations for the attack. Otherwise, the officers have some ways to let the soldiers charge.

"You can't return..." Deng Heng said half of his words and shouted, "order armour to mount."

When the Han Army saw that Zhao Jun was dawdling in Shijie, he split the shield wall and took the initiative to counterattack the charge. The battle number yelled out just now once covered up the noise of the battlefield, which can be regarded as a wake-up to Deng Heng.

In the roar of "the Han army was mighty", the Han Army rushed in front of the sword and shield soldiers. They just collided with the Zhao army in Shijie. As a result, the Zhao army in Shijie retreated after a little resistance.

The sound of heavy horse hoofs is not obvious in the noisy battlefield. The five hundred dragon guards are actually heavy horses with armor. After they came out of the valley, they plowed the defeated soldiers straight forward, resulting in the defeated soldiers crying for their parents to run on both sides, but soon let them out of the attack route.

The smoke on the battlefield blocked their sight. The sword and shield soldiers of the Han Army waiting for the attack found that there were cavalry charging. If they wanted to turn around and retreat, they must not retreat back to the array. Officers at all levels kept shouting: "end the array!"

The shield of the sword shield soldier is a small round shield. Only the middle is a metal structure goggle, and the rest is actually rattan. In a hurry, they naturally can't pay attention to anything. They can only stand side by side with the nearest robe and form a small shield array with shields as much as possible.

For heavy riding, take the weight of armor, people and horses into account, and then increase the speed when galloping. The collision force can not be blocked by several people with a small round shield.

In the dull sound of horses' hoofs and impact, the Dragon Guard ran over a team composed of several or even dozens of Han Army sword and shield soldiers with a wild smile. They also ignored their wounded soldiers and trampled directly. Under the strong impact, except for a few, the rest of the more than 500 Han army sword and shield soldiers who just attacked were crushed.

Since the war started last night, the cheers belonging to the Shijie Zhao army have been shouted out for the first time. All the soldiers of the Shijie Zhao army have widened their eyes, waiting to see whether their armour and riding gear can maintain an indomitable attitude.

"Yes!" Cui Xuan shouted excitedly, "the Han Army has no time to organize the shield wall!"

It seems like that. The Han Army has stopped advancing and seems to have abandoned the organizational shield wall, but there is something wrong with not running around.

"They're pulling away on both sides." Deng Heng was old, his eyesight was not good, his confused expression did not last long, and he changed into fear: "not good!"

Almost at the moment when Deng Heng shouted "bad", the Han Army also stopped running. All the soldiers squatted down. The next moment, the Han army fired a thick crossbow.

It's easy to crush infantry with heavy cavalry. Nothing makes the Dragon Guard feel more refreshing than watching the enemy look scared. Since the Dragon guards were established, they have long been used to the smooth sailing situation after their own attack, resulting in the Capricorn Knight's face armor with a relaxed smile, waiting to see the Han Army run away in fear.

As the Dragon guards galloping, they saw the Han Army splitting the formation towards the left and right wings. At that moment, they probably thought, "didn't run in panic?", Waiting to see the Han Army in front either squatting or lying on the ground, he would think, "what's the matter? He's so scared that his legs are soft and waiting to be trampled by horses?", But the next moment it was their turn to fear behind their face armor.

"Spread out, spread out!"

A crossbow with a length of at least one foot and a thick rod!

Heavy armor can prevent the bow. When facing the crossbow, it is not satisfactory. If the crossbow is useless, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, the Dragon Guard who is hit by the arrow has no time to make any response. It is the crossbow that is shot through that flies back.

The first batch of dragon guards who were hit were not many, that is, dozens. Not all the Dragon guards who were hit were taken back, but more people and horses were nailed in place, so that the cavalry behind had no time to dodge and hit.

The firing frequency of crossbow is not high. Even if it is equipped with winch device, it will take at least 30 breaths per round. Therefore, the 50 crossbows are not fired at one time. They are divided into three batches. The first batch is about five for calibration firing, the second batch is 20 for riding and firing, and the third batch is 30 crossbows for riding and firing. We pursue to seize the interval every time we shoot. The so-called separation is to create man-made obstacles, and those enemies who are shot dead are obstacles.

The Dragon guards in the charge encountered the first wave of crossbow shooting when they were about 450 steps away from the Han army. The second batch was at 400 steps, and the third batch was near 300 steps. The ferocity of the Capricorn people was revealed at this moment. They were frightened at the beginning, and their companions died miserably, but they were aroused ferocity instead of trying to turn around and escape.

After three rounds of crossbow shooting, it is estimated that only about 20 people were directly killed, and more than 10 riders tripped. Should there be about 450 dragon guards still charging forward? Therefore, although the movement of crossbow shooting is large, the killing that can be caused is actually like that.

The remaining dragon guards continue to gallop, and they have shown a cruel smile. Once the Han Army does not have time to organize the shield wall and let the heavy cavalry attack the array successfully, the end of the Han army will certainly come.

On the side of the Han Army, the squatting taxi soldiers grabbed the spear and stabbed it half obliquely. For a moment, it became a forest of sharp spikes composed of spears.

Due to the visual field display, the Dragon Guard in the charge could not see clearly. What he saw was a large area. Deng Heng in the distance could not see the spear array in the smoke area, but he could see the soldiers standing still in the Han Army's infantry array. He was not sure what kind of arms it was.

Very abruptly, a "dark cloud" rose from the Han Army's main array. In a moment, another "dark cloud" appeared. The soldiers holding strong crossbows were firing crossbows and arrows according to the command. In addition to them, another 1000 crossbow soldiers are waiting for the order to launch crossbows and arrows.
