Chapter seven hundred and thirty nine. Xiahou's death, the collapse of the Wei army
The second reason for Xiahou Yuan’s tragedy was that he met someone with an IQ of two taels more than him! Fa Zheng!
Facing the sound of the snare drums of the Shu army, a large number of Wei troops also ran out of the barracks, preparing to welcome the overwhelming attack and baptism of the Shu army.
Xiahou Yuan was a veteran after all. The Shu army rushed over too quickly and in a hurry. The trench group was not enough to become a deep defense system. Zhang Hejun, who was guarding Luzhai on the other side, was burned down by the number and fierce Shu army, which had a division and fierce fighting. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan had to give full play to the advantages of the Northern Army this time.
With the long spear and halberd, the strongest advantage of the Northern Army over the Southern Army is the long-handled weapon phalanx!
Just after being splashed with oil and burning with black smoke, they lined up, holding the old long halberds and the new Xuanhua axe in their hands, the dense Central Plains infantry formation was as tightly guarded in front of the military formation like a long snake. Two thousand four hundred crossbowmen even lined up in front of the army, holding the bow and looking at the replacement, but were thrown into the oil tank by the Shu army, and the burning deer village was waiting for the invasion of these wild infantry in Xichuan.
However! While the army was waiting nervously, what rushed towards us was not a large number of Shu troops, but a vast array of bamboo arrows.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Anyway, they were shot blindly through smoke, and after dozens of them were shot down by locust-like bamboo arrows, the former military captain Zhong Fang also roared sternly. With a crackling sound, he pulled the crossbow machine and loosened the bowstrings. The Wei army's crossbow arrows also flew out like flying fish, but the results of the battle are unknown.
There is another particularly interesting phenomenon. The arrows are too dense. The Wei army's double-bow steel crossbow arrows and even the bamboo arrows shot from the opposite side were colliding with the bamboo arrows. In terms of strength, the steel crossbow arrows are obviously stronger than these bamboo arrows. A steel crossbow arrow can knock down two or three bamboo arrows, so that they will be shot down.
However, there were still too many bamboo arrows in the Shu army. After two rounds of shooting, the archers wearing light armor and even cloth clothes were obviously at a disadvantage in the Shu army. Xiahou Yuan roared with an order, and the crossbowman simply retreated along the gap in the defense line, leaving the infantry to stand on the front line. The first row of swordsmen carried the iron-packed wooden shield, and the remaining long weapons were shaking left and right.
The forged Liaodong armor is really not a cover. Even if it is not hit by a long weapon, the caught bamboo arrow will buzz and fall on the turtle shell armor.
However, listening to the fierce fighting drums on the opposite side, while being baptized by the dangerous rain of arrows, the morale was particularly severe. The soldiers were tense and had to endure the choking smoke. Tears were choked and coughing sounds one after another.
He completely forgot Wang Hou's reminder not to rush to the front line. Xiahou Yuan had already arrived behind the front line in person. Looking at the Shu army looming behind the smoke and dust, his face was extremely gloomy.
But at this moment, a series of harsh sounds of breaking through the air came again. I obviously felt something was wrong. Xiahou Yuan, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, flashed back eagerly, and a heavy pig iron arrow that was one meter long pounced on the position he had just stood.
More than this life, the sound of ironclads began to rise and fall one after another. A sergeant on the left swayed axe and gun slapped the edge of the super long arrow. His hands were numb and he only changed the direction of the arrow. With a buzzing sound, the tilted arrow was pierced into the neck of the Wei army soldier on the back of the right, and pierced it into the abdomen. The man didn't even hum, and he fell to the ground with blood foam.
In the front row, the sword and shield soldiers holding the iron tiger-headed round shield were also blocking the bamboo arrows with their shields. Suddenly, with a bang, the slender pig iron arrow pierced through the iron shield, and the arms holding the shield on the back were also pierced through. With a scream, the soldier immediately squatted down.
On the left hand, there was a loud bang, and the pig iron arrow was stabbed on the heavy armored soldier's Liaodong turtle shell breastplate. The mass of the plate armor hit by the coal-burning steam engine was revealed, and it was not shot through, but the metal was still sunk.
This is why Yue Yun, a young general in "The Legend of Yue", wanted to use a golden hammer to beat the drum urn to deal with the heavy armored troops. The blunt weapon's damage is much higher than that of the sharp weapon. The heavy crossbow arrow hit the plate armor on his chest, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. The Wei army, who was caught, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in a suffocational manner. He didn't know how many ribs were broken.
Holding a telescope, Xiahou Yuan's fire-ridden pupils, the culprit suddenly appeared in his eyes. What a guy, except for the Shu army crossbowmen who had a big belly crossbow with a bamboo bow arm of about one meter long, the Shu army actually had a bow of two and a half meters long, which was composed of ten layers of bamboo slices and glue. A giant and weird crossbow that was more than one meter long was placed directly in the cover of the crossbow, and below was carried by a common slide rod sedan in Bashu. Two muscular strongmen and oil pressers held the heavy handle of the crossbow box, and pressed the crossbow box one after another with all their might. Every time the crossbow box fell, a heavy arrow flew out.
Compared with the crossbow arrows shot by ordinary crossbowmen in the Shu army, this thing is indeed much slower, but compared with the military barracks, the firing speed of this thing is several times faster. Under the attack of such heavy crossbows, the Wei army's military formation was torn apart.
"Retreat! Retreat the camp!"
"The light army continues to go up and block the gap in Luzhai for me!"
The long-range firepower was no longer as good as the opponent. In this case, either take the initiative to fight or avoid it. Xiahou Yuan obviously chose the latter. Under his roar, the Wei army formation, which had already been shot to fear, collapsed instantly and quickly retreated.
But! At this critical moment, the Shu army light soldiers who had just been burning Luzhai with an oil tank and seemed to be shot by the Wei army suddenly had more than a dozen of them trotted their bodies and jumped up. While running quickly, they blew up the horns unique to the southwest and beat the loud gongs in the southwest.
The loud bang of bang instantly changed Xiahou Yuan's face and he roared in surprise and anger.
"Shoot them! Don't let them report the news! Form a formation! Re-form a formation!"
The two bows and crossbows shot out, and the Shu army that were fleeing in panic screamed and were shot into hedgehogs. However, it was too late, and even more dense footsteps came. A burning Luzhai in the thick smoke was suddenly kicked down. Under Xiahou Yuan's gaze of shock and anger, the dense Shu army had already carried a yellow flag and rushed into the frontier of the Wei army.
People are the hardest to manage. Even the Wei army of the Bafu Palace retreated and was in chaos under the orders. Some wanted to line up the front, some fled back in fear, and some did not receive the order, and the entire front was chaotic like a nest of flies.
Knowing that he had fallen into a trap, he roared in great anger, pulled out his big knife, roared, and led his personal troops. Xiahou Yuan personally launched a counterattack!
…………
The Wei army of the Bafu was the Wei army of the Bafu. Even though the formation was chaotic and it was caught in the assault cutting of the superior forces of the Shu army, it still did not disperse for a moment. The frontier position with thick smoke was trapped in an extremely cruel and bloody fight.
With a crackling sound, the axe and gun took turns, and more than one meter away, the Wei army directly smashed the head of the Shu army's knife hand.
With the sound of slapping, the tall Wei army was rushed from behind by a monkey-like Shu army and hugged the neck. Another Shu army was struggling with him and stabbed the knife in his stomach.
At the edge of the trench, the weapons that two soldiers attacked were lost, they hugged each other and clenched my eyes, and I bit your neck and rolled into the trench that was half dug.
"Kill! Don't retreat!"
As he roared, a big machete was like a windmill. Its strong body was chopped left and right, and was rushed into the crowd by Xiahou Yuan. He actually waved his big knife and chopped over more than a dozen Shu troops in succession.
However, Xiahou Yuan, who was skilled in martial arts and heavy armor, was too conspicuous. The sharp and solid Liaodong ring-headed sword cleverly slid up again. With the sound of a clang, the sword in the Shu army rushing towards him was knocked away, panting like a cow. Xiahou Yuan was about to roar and cut down another head, but a sharp sound was buzzing, and then his thigh suddenly hurt.
The double-bow steel crossbow from Wei Jun shot through his legs!
In the severe pain, Xiahou Yuan, who was full of beard, ran towards him with a steel crossbow and carried the same heavy steel knife backwards. He dragged his injured leg and turned into a ferocious pain. He ran to him with a knife and ran.
Bang..., the heavy back of the knife hit together, and Mars burst out violently.
