This is a tough battle.

Looking at the solemn lineup on the opposite side, Cao Bin, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but shiver. This was not fear, but suddenly there was an excitement of meeting the opponent. A chill made every cell of his cell alert and excited.

This is not a Yangzhou soldier, this is a real Tang army in the northern region that has experienced many battles.

No wonder they dared to fight against themselves in a situation where their military strength was far inferior to their own.

The Tang army could not have more troops in Yangzhou, and this place is probably their essence. If they kill them, Yangzhou will collapse.

This is a battle that has done its best.

He raised the whip in his hand and waved it heavily.

The drum sound suddenly started!

The former army Shen Yi held up the flag of recognition high, and then the three thousand fronts were divided into five square formations, two in front and three in back, slowly advancing forward.

The left army Tan Huaide and the right army Xiao Zhi lag behind the front army more than a hundred armies and also pressed forward.

As soon as Cao Bin took action, the entire army was under pressure. As the reserve team, only one thousand cavalry commanded by him personally.

These thousand cavalry are the soul of these ten thousand troops and a sharp blade to solve the battle.

Cao Bin admired the army opposite very much, but did not think that they could withstand their own pace. No matter how good the soldiers were, they needed generals to command and lead them. If Liu Chenglin and Youyong Tu Lichun Shi Zhuang and others were on the other side, even if it was Li Hao, he would naturally be vigilant, take one step at a time, consider not losing first, and then consider winning.

But who is opposite now?

A person named Ren Xiaonian came out of some corner.

Such a small character dares to stroke his tiger beard, which is really a joke. If you face such a person, you need to be careful, which would be too conspicuous.

Even the three minor generals under his command were more famous than Ren Xiaonian.

Ren Xiaonian was a little embarrassed and annoyed.

The other party looked down on others naked! He actually wanted to defeat himself with one blow.

"Damn it!" Ren Xiaonian cursed hatefully, and looked at the flying flag of Cao in the distance, "When the battle is over, I will let you remember who I am."

Ren Xiaonian didn't have many cavalrymen. Now behind him, he had a full plan and a total of 200 cavalry. However, these 200 cavalry were all drawn from the reserve team of Chengde Wolf Cavalry, which was naturally inferior to Chengde Wolf Cavalry, but he was also the best cavalryman in the world.

"Raising the spear!" The sharp shouts in front of Ge Cai pulled back Ren Xiaonian's somewhat distracted thoughts.

Three rows of spearmen raised the spears in their hands. Behind the spearmen, the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields, and the horizontal swords in their hands were neatly hitting the big shield, making a thumping sound, and followed closely.

"go ahead!"

Some monotonous whistle sounded, accompanied by the whistle, and the eight hundred forward soldiers advanced forward in neat steps.

"Bound!" Behind the eight hundred vanguards, two hundred and fifty crossbow soldiers sat on the ground, and half-kneeled another soldier beside each. In front of them, there was a box containing crossbow arrows.

Hearing the order, two hundred and fifty crossbow soldiers lay back at the same time, with their backs on the ground, and their feet were slammed on the bow arms, and they roared, exerting force at the same time, pulling the bowstring apart. Another soldier beside him immediately pulled out a crossbow arrow from the box and put it in the arrow groove.

The Tang army's crossbow has a range of more than 150 steps. If you want to use the strength of your arm to pull it away, you won't even think about it unless you are a strongman who is the best in the three armies.

"Let me!" The officer's monotonous voice without any emotion began to sound.

With a muffled sound, two hundred and fifty crossbow arrows shot into the air, and after flying to the top, they suddenly turned around.

Cao Bin's pupils immediately contracted, and his heart seemed to be hit hard.

A crossbow with a range of more than one hundred and fifty steps?

This is not an ordinary crossbow, this is a foot-pedal crossbow.

It’s not that there is no such crossbow in the Xuanwu army, but this thing is more expensive than ordinary crossbows. It takes three years to build such crossbows from selecting materials, raising materials to making them. It consumes too much manpower and material resources and cannot afford to be equipped at all. Not to mention such crossbows, Xuanwu army is not equipped with many ordinary crossbows.

There is only one reason, no money.

In the army, more mulberry bows are equipped, which are cheap.

Of course, there is a reason to be expensive.

If it is cheap, it is naturally not good.

The mulberry bow is a soft bow with a short range, low lethality, and an average armor-breaking effect.

Just as he thought of the armor-breaking, his heart stumbled again.

Shen Yi's reaction was not so unhappy. When the crossbow arrow flew into the sky, the person in front of his command had already raised his shield, and the spearmen raised the spear in their hands and danced desperately in the air.

Generally speaking, there are only three ways to block the feather arrows. The first is a shield, the second is the intensive dance of the spearmen to stir the feather arrows away, and the third is to use heavy armor to carry it. As for the kind of feather arrows that can use a person to use a single weapon to catch feather arrows, it is basically a legend in the story book. If you really see it in reality, there is only one explanation. The blind cat hits a dead mouse.

The third method does not apply to Xuanwu Army.

Because except for generals, they had very few ordinary soldiers, and generally all had leather armor, and Zhu Wen was considered to be very expensive. Xuanwu's army was all three layers of leather armor. However, Cao Bin led the only one thousand cavalry behind him was Xuanwu's army, and the rest were all adapted from the Wuning army. He barely collected the leather armor.

The enemy's crossbow arrow flew down with a sharp roar. Seeing the dense crossbow arrows, Cao Bin's eyes straightened. This was not an ordinary crossbow arrow, but it turned out to be an armor-breaking cone.

Such armor-breaking cone can shoot through even iron armor, let alone leather armor.

He opened his mouth wide, but he could only watch the armor-breaking cone fall, and then saw his subordinates crying and falling down.

The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the damaged queue was quickly filled. This year of training in Wuding was finally in vain. After all, these people were carefully selected from the Wuning Army.

The second round of crossbow arrows is coming again.

Cao Bin stared at the front with wide eyes. Shen Yi's military formation was a little dispersed. There was no way to do it, because he had to speed up his pace to avoid such a passive situation of being beaten. However, as soon as the speed was fast, the queue could not be kept so neatly.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, seventy steps!

Finally, Cao Bin was relieved to see the archers in Shen Yi's team starting to fight back.

Even if it is a mulberry wood bow, its lethality cannot be underestimated at this distance.

The other party lowered his head slightly and walked forward in a consistent manner. Unlike Xuanwu Army who shouted loudly, the other party was pushing forward silently.

Like a black wall.

Cao Bin took a deep breath again, and the feather arrow fell, but the other party's casualties were minimal. Many of the feather arrows fell on the other party and were actually bounced away.

armor!

The Tang army opposite was actually wearing iron armor.

The Tang army's crossbow arrows were still shooting endlessly. In just a short time, they had shot out five rounds. Hundreds of people lay down on the road toward the Xuanwu army, some were motionless, while others were still wailing on the ground.

Blood flowed quietly.

Strands, strips, and then slowly gather together to form dazzling red.

Xuanwu Army ran very fast.

Compared to them, the Tang army seemed to be hiding forward.

"Thorn!" A sharp roar sounded.

The Tang army's spear stabbed out fiercely, and it was not until this time that they roared.

"Yoho!"

Fifty spears pierced almost at the same time on the cross section of fifty people.

Xuanwu's spear also stabbed out.

No one can dodge, nor can it dodge.

Both sides stab each other.

Life and death are fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven.

The sound of cracks kept ringing, it was the sound of the gun bar breaking.

The broken ones are all the guns of Xuanwu Army.

The Tang army's gun rod bent out of a huge arc.

In the first round of poking, the Tang army had an absolute advantage because their team was more neat. When they stabbed the spear in their hands, the number of enemies they faced was far lower than that of them. Therefore, everyone had to face several spears at the same time, the Xuanwu army rushed to the front.

The Tang army's gun rod was straight, and Xuanwu's body was bounced out from a distance and fell heavily into the robe behind him.

Go sideways and fires the gun.

Just as they turned sideways, the second row of Tang army's spears had pierced the spear in their hands again from the gap exposed by their side.

Yoho!

With this spear, the spearmen in the second row arrived at the first row.

Fifty spearmen fell down five or six. But nearly thirty of their opponents died.

When the monotonous yo-ho sound sounded for the second time, dozens of people fell down from Xuanwu's army, but this time, only one unlucky man in the Tang army was stabbed in the throat by his opponent's spear and fell down.

When the third yo-ho sound rang out, Xuanwu army had already recessed a lot inward.

Xuan Wu's sword and shield hands circled to both sides, and Tang Jun's sword and shield hands also came up at the same time.

Behind them, the crossbow soldiers who had shot the crossbow arrows stepped on their backs, then raised their swords and shields from their side and rushed forward.

Every time the spearmen stabbed, they would make a sound, while the sword and shield soldiers were silent. These people were all veterans of war, and they would not use their power to things that would not help in combat.

A silent opponent actually makes the opponent even more afraid.

Ge Cai did not have a shield, she held the knife in both hands and slashed left and right. Beside her, several of her Tang soldiers held shields to protect her, allowing her to concentrate on moving forward, whether left and right, behind, or cold arrows from somewhere, were handled by these people for her. Every time one fell by her, another would be added immediately.
