Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 756

The crossbowmen trained by the Taishi Ci Divine Arrow Battalion are indeed worthy of the name of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

The archers cooperated with the crossbow arrow array, and the rain of arrows almost never ceased, which inevitably made Yuan Tanjun who charged forward quickly confused. It is not easy to maintain a dense formation during the charge, not to mention there are still arrows in the air. The rain kept hitting.

Although there were more than 1000 archers in Yuan Tan's army, those who also bent their bows and set up arrows counterattacked in the direction of Zhu Weijun.

But Zhu Weijun also left swords and shields to help the crossbowmen block arrows. At the same time, it was difficult for Yuan Tanjun's archers to achieve intensive feather arrow counterattacks during the attack, so the feathers and arrows shot by Yuan Tanjun's archers The arrows did not shake Zhu Weijun's bow and crossbow array.

Even though some injuries were caused, it did not pose too much threat to Zhu Weijun.

Therefore, under the continuous shooting of Zhu Weijun's archers and crossbowmen, when Yuan Tanjun rushed to the bottom of Zhu Weijun's airfoil formation and was still more than a hundred steps away, the dense army formation was already scattered by the rain of arrows. .

In this way, Zhu Weijun's two wings of troops, which had surrounded Yuan Tan's army, finally, under Chen Wu's command, attacked Yuan Tan's army gathered in the middle from both sides.

This is where the real hand-to-hand combat begins.

The swords and shields on the two wings of Zhu Weijun broke into Yuan Tanjun's army formation, and changed from a dense shield formation to a team-based battle mode, and soon fought with Yuan Tanjun's soldiers.

However, at this time, the archers and crossbowmen in the rear also changed the attack form covered by the rain of arrows, and changed to the precise point killing mode of each looking for the target.

Of course, at this time, most of the archers on Zhu Weijun's side are actually a little weak. Continuous and rapid shooting is also a great test of their arm strength. Now many people can't pull the bowstring.

Therefore, the crossbow archers who mainly rely on mechanical archery continue to exert their lethality through the arrow array, just like firing a volley of guns, firing a crossbow arrow at Yuan Tanjun who is rushing forward.

Of course, just in this case, Zhu Weijun's swords and shields on both wings may not be able to break through Yuan Tan's dense army formation, so Zhu Weijun used another secret weapon.

This time Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion went to battle, and there were also some special units hidden in it, that is, the Thunderbolt Thrower.

That is to say, some soldiers who carried thunderbolts like grenades in their rucksacks were hidden in the army formation of Zhu Weijun. At critical moments, they would throw out thunderbolts to break through the dense formation of the enemy for their companions.

Now among the Zhu Weijun who was attacking Yuan Tan's army from both wings, there were these thunderbolt throwers. They might only carry four or five thunderbolts, but they were enough to play a special role at critical times.

"Boom... boom..."

When Zhu Weijun on the two wings encountered the dense Yuan Tan army in front of him and couldn't break through easily, some thunderbolt palms were ignited and thrown towards the dense Yuan Tan army in front.

For a while, accompanied by the explosion of thunder in the palm of the hand, the soldiers of Yuan Tan's army who were within four or five steps around the explosion core would fall down instantly, either dead or injured, while the soldiers of Yuan Tan's army with a radius of more than ten steps around, It will also be dizzy and dizzy by the roar of the explosion, and the tinnitus will continue, making it difficult to maintain combat effectiveness.

In this way, Yuan Tanjun, who might have been able to maintain the army, would be thrown into chaos by the thunderbolt, and he would be less resistant to Zhu Weijun's charge.

As a result, the situation on the battlefield quickly fell into a one-sided situation. Yuan Tan's army gradually lost its solid formation. Facing the terrifying arrow rain ahead and the irresistible attacks from both sides, many Yuan Tan's soldiers had stopped He lost the pace of charging, turned around and fled with low morale.

Even Lu Weihuang, the subordinate general of Yuan Tan's account who was in command of the battle, tried his best to stabilize the defeat, but it was already difficult to recover the situation.

As the saying goes, the army was defeated like a mountain, and Yuan Tan's army, which had more than 5000 people who came out to fight, began to be defeated from the front. past.

At the same time, Tai Shici, who was in charge of the overall situation in the rear, issued an order again, and with the rumbling of the war drum, another Zhu Weijun rushed to the battlefield.

Tai Shici was obviously planning to take advantage of the victory to directly attack the home formation of the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei, and defeat the opponent's three coalition forces in the first battle.

When Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei saw the defeat of the soldiers and horses ahead, they hurriedly organized follow-up soldiers to support them immediately, so the melee with more soldiers began.

Tai Shici included the [-] troops brought by Chen Wu before, and then sent Bao Long and Chen Ying to lead troops to charge up to nearly [-] troops. He himself only left about [-] troops to garrison the main formation to deal with the situation. subsequent changes.

Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei also sent more than 5000 troops to the battlefield. Among them, Yuan Tan sent another member of his tent, Zhang Nan, to rush to the battlefield with more than 5000 troops. Zang Ba also sent his grandson The two generals Guan and Sun Kang led more than 2000 troops to kill, only Liu Bei had fewer people, that is to say, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed up with more than [-] troops.

At this time, there is no specific formation. Anyway, Zhu Weijun is taking advantage of the victory of the cavalier formation, charging and chasing with high morale, and Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei are also unwilling to be defeated. Several generals led them into the battlefield.

Zhu Weijun led by Chen Wu, who was at the forefront, chased and killed Yuan Tanjun led by Lu Weihuang, and soon encountered the enemy's follow-up army.

Seeing that there was not much advantage in chasing and killing like this, Chen Wu temporarily slowed down the charge of his soldiers, re-stabilized the army formation, and waited for his follow-up support troops to come up before rushing forward again.

As for Lu Weihuang, who was surrounded by the defeated soldiers and ran for a while, finally met his own army that followed up, slowly stopped the trend of retreat, and turned around again to charge back.

In this way, the combined strength of the two sides was at least more than 3 people, and they were killed on the battlefield before the small town of Tuqiuju.

It's hard to say for a while what the final situation will be. It has to be said that Zhu Weijun's generals who can charge forward on the battlefield are still relatively small, and Chen Wu, Bao Long, and Chen Ying are not too skilled in martial arts. The general, that is, Bao Long has reached the level of second-rate generals, and the other two are third-rate generals.

Therefore, with the development of the war, Zhu Weijun lacked generals who could open up the situation on the battlefield to charge, basically relying on well-trained soldiers to use the tacit understanding of each other to fight in formation to kill the relatively untrained soldiers of the opponent, so as to obtain advantage in battle.

As for Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei, there are six generals in the battle at this moment. Zhang Nan and Lu Weihuang under Yuan Tan's tent, and Sun Guan and Sun Kang sent by Zang Ba are nothing special, they are mainly in charge of commanding the battle. , is also not a brave general who can attack and break the formation.

But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on Liu Bei's side are really too powerful on the battlefield...
