Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

The archers of General Zheng Jun stepped forward slowly, and when they were three hundred steps away from the Tang Army's chariot formation, there was no movement in the Tang Army's chariot formation.

These soldiers of the Xia Army stepped forward anxiously, and within a distance of two hundred steps, the soldiers of the Tang Army still remained silent.

In this way, the generals of the Tang army seemed to be like puppets, waiting motionlessly for the generals of the Zheng army to slowly enter the land of arrows.At this time, Xia Jun soldiers roared in unison, and at the same time nocked their arrows.

Dou Jiande was very surprised that there were no archers in Li Jiancheng's army. For Xia Jun, it was the best news. What a disaster!

In fact, Dou Jiande guessed wrong. Of course Li Jiancheng had archers, and there were quite a few of them, almost [-].However, because too many arrows were consumed in the defense of Jinzhou City before, the bows and arrows in Li Jiancheng's hands are less than ten arrows per capita, so he did not order to release arrows at all.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Xia Jun's archers didn't come out, and as soon as they made a move, more than [-] archers fired a rain of arrows into Tang Jun's formation like a storm.Seeing Xia Jun's arrow rain flying in densely like locusts crossing the border, Tang Jun soldiers calmly shrank and got under the cart.

The carts of the Tang army's outer defense line are all ordinary two-wheeled carts with thick green reeds on them. These freshly cut reeds are piled on the carts, almost at the same level as the shields, as if they were added to the carts. a top cover.

Li Jiancheng remembered that Chen Yingchu was chatting with the soldiers at the beginning, and he once told the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing arrows from a grass boat.At that time, Li Jiancheng also joked that Chen Ying did not say that he was incapable. There is no story about straw boats borrowing arrows in history. What is said is that when Sun Quan was scouting Cao Ying, the awning boat he was riding on was tilted by Cao Jun. Sun Quan let people Turn the boat over and let the other side meet the rain of arrows, so that the awning boat slowly regained its balance, and Sun Quan went away safely.

Now Li Jiancheng doesn't have too many arrows. A very important part of the moon formation is to use archers to suppress the enemy's approach, but there are less than [-] arrows, which sounds like a lot. Once the two armies face off and shoot, I'm afraid a stick of incense will be enough. One shot and nothing.In desperation, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to adopt this method. He calculated that Dou Jiande would use his troops cautiously, and he would definitely not attack with all his strength when he came up, but would only attack tentatively.

However, although arrows can be recycled, once the arrow hits the shield or armor, it will definitely be distorted and deformed, which will affect the use of the second shot.Li Jiancheng looked at the reeds that had just grown on the banks of the Fen River, and was overjoyed. Cutting off the densely packed reeds not only cleared the field of vision, but also used the buffering effect of the reeds to reduce the loss of arrowheads.

The rain of arrows fired six consecutive rounds, more than [-] Xia army archers fired at least [-] arrows, but Dou Jiande didn't hear the screams from the Tang army, and gradually felt that something was wrong .

"Stop shooting!"

But it was too late, at the moment Dou Jiande hesitated, another round of shooting was fired.Arrows cost money, and an arrow is not expensive, about 90 to [-] yuan. If it is a heavy armor-piercing arrow, it is more expensive, about [-] yuan or so.In just seven rounds of shooting, nearly [-] arrowheads, or about [-] million yuan, or about [-] guan, disappeared. If converted into the grain price in Hebei, about [-] to [-] shi grains were shot into the Tang army camp.

But so much money was sent out, but no casualties were caused to the soldiers of the Tang army, and Dou Jiande felt bad all over.

What made Dou Jiande most depressed was that the generals of the Tang army quickly went out at this time, took down the arrows stuck on the reeds, and then thousands of people shouted at Dou Jiande neatly: "Thank you, Lord Xia, for your generosity..."

When Dou Jiande heard this, his entire face turned green instantly.

Li Jiancheng looked at the [-] arrows he had harvested, and said, "It's a pity, I only got more than [-] arrows, and it won't take long!"

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, this method is absolutely perfect. The most important thing is, I am afraid that Dou Jiande will not dare to shoot arrows in the future!"

Li Jiancheng laughed loudly: "Thanks to General Chen who told the story about the grass boat borrowing arrows, otherwise, I would never have thought that I could borrow arrows!"

Dou Jiande's psychological quality is better than expected. He didn't vomit blood with anger, but he was also very angry.

"attack……"

The two-word command almost burst out from between Dou Jiande's teeth.It is conceivable how intense Dou Jiande's anger is at this time.

The generals of the Xia army fought long against the long, with the long soldiers in front, and the archers in the second place, advancing slowly.

Fifty steps before entering the Tang army's chariot formation, the Tang army camp was still dead silent.

When Xia Jun's spearman actually took a dozen steps in front of Tang Jun's chariot, the Tang Jun soldiers finally reacted.

"Dong dong..."

The heavy sound of war drums suddenly exploded, which made the soldiers of the Xia army who were advancing couldn't help being stunned.At this moment, the shield of Tang Jun's cart suddenly fell down, revealing a dense crowd of archers, who were already ready to go.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The distance is less than twenty steps. For archers, if they miss the target at such a distance, they might as well urinate and drown themselves.Before the sound of piercing the air reached his ears, Commander Xia saw a cold light coming towards him.

The sound is naturally much faster than the arrow, but at close range, the eyes see first and the ears hear the sound.

At this time, it was too late for them to escape, the arrows roared, and blood sprayed on the chests, faces and throats of Xia Jun soldiers.At such a close distance, it was almost like queuing up to shoot with a pistol to their foreheads. The bodies of the soldiers of the Xia Army convulsed like electric shocks, spewed out streams of blood, and fell down screaming and wailing...

Almost all arrows were fired. The generals of the Xia army never thought that the archers of the generals of the Tang army would shoot a rain of arrows at a distance of more than ten steps. This wave of arrows could hit so hard and accurately!

Before Xia Jun's archers launched a counterattack, Tang Jun's bows and arrows retreated immediately, and the shields on the chariot formation quickly rose, and the blades glowing with azure blue cold light formed a steel forest.

Without Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng would never have known that there is an army in the world called Lobster Soldiers. The so-called Lobster Soldiers are classic tactics created by the British Army infantry in the era of front-loading rifles. Marching in unison, raising guns in unison, firing in unison, reloading in unison...then charge with bayonet!Not because of any heroism, but because the accuracy, rate of fire, and range of the early rifles were too low. Only by "queuing up and shooting" such a large group of people can the rifle's lethal effectiveness be maximized.In the era of black powder, tall hats and bright uniforms are conducive to quickly identifying the enemy and the enemy in the smoky battlefield environment.

The British lobster soldiers were the top existence in the era of front-loading rifles. They were highly disciplined, faced the enemy's bullet rain, and endured huge casualties. When the enemy entered 20 meters away, they shot down with one shot, but quickly crushed the enemy. , Gained an almost invincible reputation.

It is precisely because of the existence of Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, that His Royal Highness Li Jiancheng, who was originally generous in history, was taught badly.

Of course, Chen Ying didn't have muskets. He just used the principle of muskets to be shot in line. The bows and arrows shot at close range are not necessarily weaker than the original muskets. More than [-] arrows shot at close range knocked down the Xia army's forward soldiers. Nearly half of them fell, and anyone who saw more than [-] people falling down at the same time would feel out of their wits.

In fact, Commander Xia fell into a panic in an instant. They have been on the battlefield for so long, and they have never encountered such a situation.They never thought that Tang Jun's archers would hit so hard and so accurately!What made them most horrified was that even though they threw their spears or spears into the formation of Tang Army archers like throwing spears, and stabbed those archers down one by one, the Tang Army archers fell beside them. The comrades in arms turned a blind eye, just aiming and shooting arrows indifferently, and when they were hit by the spear, the soldiers of the Tang army who fell to the ground also gritted their teeth and said nothing. They seemed to be fighting with a group of lifeless and unconscious enemies!

This kind of enemy who ignores casualties and has no fear of life is really not to be provoked.

Xia Jun's archers hurriedly threw the rain of arrows at Tang Jun's formation again in confusion, but the effect was too bad. The huge casualties of Xia Jun's soldiers this time shocked them into disbelief.

However, at this moment, the shield on the Tang army's cart fell down without warning, and the densely packed Tang army archers were ready to go.

Looking at this scene, the commanders and soldiers of the Xia army were almost out of their wits, and they all turned around and ran away at the same time... This battle cannot be fought, they are all dead soldiers, and it is too long to fight dead soldiers.

All the generals of the Xia army pushed and shoved each other, making a mess, no accident, the archers of the Tang army shot again, and knocked down a large number of the generals of the Xia army.At this time, Xia Jun soldiers fled more fiercely and faster, and they unanimously became resentful. Did parents lose two legs?

Seeing the commander of the Xia army fleeing with the archers in his arms, the generals of the Tang army cheered resoundingly. Xue Wanche bowed and clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, let the last general lead the cavalry battalion up, and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled: "No need..."

It's really unnecessary, although Xia Jun's cavalry is less.But the sky was not yet clear, and God knows if Dou Jiande has a backup. For Dou Jiande, who has an army of tens of thousands, he can afford to lose five or six thousand soldiers.The two thousand cavalry were Li Jiancheng's last cavalry, and he could not afford to lose them.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Xia army has no intention of fighting, and the whole group began to retreat.

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince for flying the flag!"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning!"

……

In the successive battles in the past few days, Wang Shichong seemed to be crazy, and smashed red-hot stones at the Tang Army camp in Cijian. At this time, the Tang Army camp suffered heavy casualties, and he had to abandon the first outer camp. Losing the strength to break through, he could only linger in the camp, waiting for the final moment.

Li Shimin, with a sloppy beard, lost the charm of the past in his eyes, and there was a strong and foul smell of blood in the air, and the crows and birds on the branches were croaking.Dozens of wild dogs ran out from nowhere like wolves with their tails between their legs, and sneaked onto the battlefield, sniffing their noses for fresh human flesh to eat. Their eyes were also red, as if they had eaten too much human flesh.

Li Shimin looked at the dense clouds covering the sky like fish scales, and there would be heavy rain at any time, and he was afraid that there would be no good weather at night, so he said, "I'm afraid Wang Shichong won't attack tonight!"

"It's not the rainy season yet. Even if it rains, it won't be too heavy. I'm afraid it will stop the night before!" Changsun Shunde stroked his beard and said, "Maybe we can try stealing a camp. Get ready here, and wait for the rain to stop. Touch it immediately."

Not long after, there was a strong wind, and the grass fell and Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was going to rain, and the rain meant that the methods Wang Shichong relied on had lost their effectiveness. Endured the blow of the overwhelming fire meteor.

After a long time, Li Shimin came back to his senses: "What did General Changsun say? A night attack?"

Changsun Shunde nodded and said: "His Royal Highness, look, these days, Wang Shichong's courage is getting bigger and bigger. Their camp is very simple. They have neither dug trenches nor set up horse and deer villages. The camp is still simple and simple. Quite right, the campfires are all set up in open areas. As long as the heavy rain pours down, the campfires may be extinguished. The most important thing is that they need to burn redstone bombs, so as long as the rain stops, the soldiers will definitely be driven out of the camp , to find firewood..."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and the heavy rain stopped. It was the time when the generals of Zheng Jun were looking for dry firewood to light the campfire, and it was indeed a good time to steal the camp.However, Wang Shichong is also a man who knows soldiers. Although the light soldiers and stone-throwing troops in the front hardly have a decent camp, there is a camp fence four or five hundred steps away, and the main force is gathered in the front. Stationed, presumably there will be defenses against night raids on the camp.

Qin Qiong said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness, the last general, you can give me two thousand soldiers and horses. If the last general can successfully break through the Zheng army's front camp, you can lead the army to attack and expand the results of the battle. If... this is a trap, you Then withdraw the troops and return to the camp, and guard the camp!"
