Great Military Division

Chapter 306 Mobile Ballista!A shot at the start, scaring Yuan Shu!

"Report—!"

"The battle report was sent back from the direction of Yanxian County, and the enemy was trapped in the camp."

"it is good!"

"Report—!"

"The battle report was sent back from the direction of Yanling, the trapped camp won the first battle and won a big victory."

"Great."

New draw.

Cao's army camp.

Central Army, big tent.

Cao Cao was very excited when he heard this, and stood up: "I knew that it would be possible to fall into the camp. This time it's our turn to play a role."

"Zhongde." Cao Cao turned to look at Cheng Li.

"Yes." Cheng Li cupped his hands.

"Order the whole army to act according to the plan."

"Here."

With the defeat in the direction of Yan County and Yanling, there is no doubt that Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao will believe that there is the main force of Cao's army, while Xinji will become an empty city. The opponent's test effect is achieved, and they will naturally attack with all their strength.

The Cao army in Xinji County was already in a state of preparation for battle. With an order, they quickly entered the combat positions of each army, ready to meet the attack of Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu's coalition forces like mad dogs.

as predicted.

In less than half an hour, scouts came to report that the army of Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao rushed to Xinji and was forming an array outside the city, ready to attack Xinji at any time.

Cao Cao smiled lightly, and ordered: "Zhongde, pass on the beacon fire, and give these two guys some sweetness."

Cheng Li cupped his hands: "Here."

next second.

A messenger came out of the camp to deliver the order.

Not long after, a thick black smoke rose up.

Yuan Shu's eyes brightened outside the city, and he raised his finger to point to the city: "Brother Meng Zhuo, look quickly, Cao A has set off the fire, and Xinji County is indeed an empty city. Our judgment is not wrong."

If it hadn't been intimidated by the coalition forces of Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao outside the city, how could Cao Cao have set off beacon fires and asked for reinforcements from Yanling, Yan County, and Xu County before attacking the city.

"That's right!"

Zhang Miaoxuan's heart was completely relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows stretched: "If we had known this, we should have attacked Xinji as soon as possible, and it would have saved a lot of time and avoided many casualties."

"In the future"

As far as this is concerned, Zhang Miao's voice was drawn out, and the pitch was raised by three points. He said with a strange tone: "Conjectures without evidence, you must not believe them indiscriminately, otherwise you will miss the opportunity of the war."

Yan Xiang on the side only felt the burning pain in his cheeks on both sides, as if he had been slapped twice, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only resist the other party's ridicule.

After all, it was his self-righteous judgment that caused Zhang Yuan's allied army to lose troops and generals, and even delayed the attack time for several days, as well as thousands of shi of food and grass.

Yan Xiang secretly vowed that he would never persuade him casually again, especially those unsubstantiated guesses. If he guessed wrong again, it would not be as simple as ridicule.

The so-called beating a dog depends on the owner!

Zhang Miaoming taunted and sarcastically made Yuan Shu unhappy.

Although Yan Xiang was responsible for this matter, he was his subordinate after all, and he had agreed to it at the beginning.

In Yuan Shu's eyes, Zhang Miao was like this, obviously he just didn't take him seriously.

How could the second son of the proud fourth generation and third prince just sit back and watch his retainers be bullied like this?

"Brother Meng Zhuo's words are different."

If he hadn't taken into account the face of the alliance, Yuan Shu would definitely turn his back on him, but a moderate beating is still necessary: ​​"No matter what, Zixiang is after all considering the overall situation. If he is wrong, it is also our mistake."

"After all, it is you and me who make the final decision."

"but."

The side-talking was in place, and Yuan Shu immediately pulled back: "Fortunately, it didn't cause too much bad influence. We still have the absolute initiative. As long as we can win Xinji, we will still win a big victory."

"kindness."

How could Zhang Miao not know Yuan Shu's temper.

People from high families always have such a strange temper.

Of course, Zhang Miao didn't bother to think about it any more, so he nodded, "You and I are indeed responsible for this matter. Let's focus on the battle before us and work together to win Xinji."

Yuan Shu nodded: "That's right!"

Yan Xiang beside him was very moved.

Although Yuan Shu's brain is a bit dull, he does protect the calf, especially for an old official of the Yuan family like himself.

This is why Yan Xiang has always followed Yuan Shu and never thought of leaving.

The winner is like this, what more can a husband ask for!
Soon.

General Ji Lingfei immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands and clasped his fists: "My lord, our army is lined up, do you want to start an attack?"

Without hesitation, Yuan Shu ordered sonorously, "Attack!"

"Here."

Ji Ling responded.

Immediately, he reined in his horse and turned around, shouting loudly: "The lord has an order, attack Xinji by force!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
In an instant, the sound of beating drums rang out.

The soldiers of the Yuan army rushed towards the city like a tide.

Arrows all over the sky poured down like torrential rain, causing Yuan Jun's soldiers, who were madly attacking and killing, to fall down like cutting wheat, but even so, it was still difficult to stop Yuan Jun from storming the city.

Yan Xiang stared at the battlefield closely, and the arrow rain just now, the density of the arrows was not high, which proved that there were not many soldiers and horses in the city, so it could be deduced that there were indeed not many soldiers and horses in Xinji County.

"Damn!"

Yan Xiang secretly chewed.

Could it be that his own judgment was wrong, Cao Cao is not as powerful as he imagined?

However, in the previous battle in Yan County, Yuan Shu was almost wiped out by Cao Cao if he hadn't developed a mind.

How could such a terrifying opponent make such a low-level mistake?
Yan Xiang really couldn't figure this out.

Motherfucker!
It's completely unreasonable.

Yan Xiang originally wanted to remind Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao to be careful, but he swallowed the words abruptly. What qualifications did he have to offer suggestions?It's better to stay on the side obediently and watch the battle.

Sure enough, the battle situation entered a white-hot stage in an instant.

More than [-] ladders were set up under the city, and the soldiers from all sides shouted and climbed bravely, rushing forward one after another, fearless of death.

However.
Under such a sharp offensive.

Cao Jun in the city responded well and commanded steadily, as if he didn't take Yuan Jun outside the city seriously at all.

In particular, there are more than ten defensive equipment on the top of the city, and all kinds of enemy-killing moves are dazzling. Even Yan Xiang himself can't help but be amazed by it, deeply feeling the power of the general in the city.

"Add knives on wooden boards, connect them with iron cables, and kill enemies repeatedly?"

"It's really interesting!"

"Add a knife to the log, throw it out to kill the enemy, and recycle it to kill the enemy. In addition, it can disrupt the siege formation!"

"It's amazing!"

"what?"

at this time.

A machine similar to a bed crossbow suddenly launched from the top of the city.

Yan Xiang looked closely, and the arrow protruding from the bed crossbow could be adjusted left and right, and showed a simple arc. Such a weapon was completely beyond Yan Xiang's cognition.

After all, the bed crossbow in my impression is not as flexible as I imagined. It can actually adjust the direction and angle artificially. Doesn't this mean that its killing range has expanded a lot?
suddenly.

The scene of the previous scout report sounded in Yan Xiang's mind, "Cao Jun sent out a heavy infantry with fine iron armor all over their bodies. Their crossbows can fire in bursts, killing our army by surprise."

A powerful crossbow of continuous shooting!
Adjustable bed crossbow?

This.
Yan Xiang suddenly realized something was wrong.

Although they hadn't fought for only half a year, who would have thought that Cao's army would undergo earth-shaking changes during this half-year period, with so many equipment innovations!

Just when Yan Xiang was amazed.

He was surprised to find out.

The new bed crossbow hidden among the soldiers seemed to have adjusted its direction, and the target it was aiming at was none other than his own lord Yuan Shu.

"Lord be careful!"

Yan Xiang shouted at the top of his voice, "Get down!"

Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously leaned over.

at the same time.

boom!
There was a loud noise like thunder.

On Xinji City, a gloomy stream of light passed thousands of soldiers who were besieging the city, and flew towards the direction of the big banner at the rear, passing by the side of Yuan Shu's horse, and killed the soldiers carrying the banner with one arrow.

The huge force attached to the arrow actually knocked the flag bearer directly off the horse's back, and flew backwards for three or forty feet before falling to the ground and dying.

"what?"

Yuan Shu's face turned green with fright.

He subconsciously lowered his body, poked his head out slightly, and looked at the head of Xinji city: "Zixiang, what is that? Why can it have such a long range?"

You know, they are a full three hundred steps away from the city. At such a distance, the power of ordinary weapons has long been exhausted, but this arrow can knock soldiers into the air.

This is simply incredible!

At this moment, even Zhang Miao beside him couldn't help but bury his body behind the horse's neck, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Quick back! Be careful of arrows!"

Yan Xiang reined in his horse and shouted at the same time: "My lord, this may be Cao Jun's new bed crossbow. Not only does it have a longer range, but it can even adjust the direction. We have to retreat a certain distance."

"Quick back—!"

Yuan Shu shouted.

Immediately.

A guard carried a shield and took a step forward, blocking Yuan Shu behind him and protecting him.

But Yuan Shu took the opportunity to steer his horse, turned around and backed away slowly, cursing secretly: "Damn Cao Aman, there are quite a few secret weapons, but it's a pity, they will all belong to me sooner or later!"

"Where is Ji Ling?" Yuan Shu shouted.

"The end is here."

"Send troops to continue the strong attack, don't be afraid!"

"Here."

Ji Ling yelled, and ordered sonorously: "My lord has orders, continue to attack, don't be afraid!"

"The lord has an order, continue to attack"

"My lord has orders."

now.

Xinji city head.

Cao Ren stared at the grass and startled the snake, and cursed angrily: "Stinky boy, you fucking screwed up, Yuan Shu is beside him."

This is not cursing, but the person operating the mobile ballista is Cao Tai, Cao Ren's son.

At the beginning, when the mobile ballista was built, Cao Cao organized relevant people to test fire, and wanted to select some people to form the ballista arms and play a role in this battle.

Although crossbows and bows and arrows have the same effect, they are not the same thing after all. Some people who are good at archery can't hit a target that is [-] paces away.

On the contrary, Cao Tai, Cao Ren's son, was able to hit the target twice out of ten trials. Although the rest missed the target, the misses were not too serious, at most one or two steps away.

Naturally.

Cao Tai was promoted to be the leader of the Ballista Battalion, commanding fifty Ballistas under his command.

Although Cao Tai's hit rate had improved again during this period of time, it was not a [-]% hit after all. The first arrow failed to kill Yuan Shu, but killed the banner soldier next to him!
Seeing Yuan Shu who was slowly retreating, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Damn it! Don't hide your strength, pull up all the Ballista Battalions and beat me hard!"

Immediately, a messenger shouted hoarsely: "Bow crossbowmen step back and make way for the brothers of the crossbow battalion."

"Stand back, crossbowman, to the brothers of the crossbow battalion."

"."

at the same time.

There are red and green flags flashing.

In an instant, twenty ballistas were pushed towards the city wall.

A ballista is under the joint responsibility of one operator and one loader.

In the next second, the hoarse sound of the ballista machine hub sounded, and the specially-made crossbow bolt tore through the air. With a sharp cry, it roared out from the head of Xinji City, and smashed into the shield array that was slowly retreating.

boom! boom! boom!
The sound of shields shattering came and went.

The crossbow arrows pierced into the shield array like bolts of lightning, pushing up Yuan Bing who was holding the shield in the front row, and easily tore a gap, revealing Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao who were slowly retreating.

"what?"

The two were amazed.

They don't seem to think so.

After one crossbow, so many crossbows will suddenly appear.

However, what they didn't expect was that after such a dense volley of crossbow bolts was fired, another row of crossbow bolts roared out from the head of Xinji City within ten breaths.

The flashing black crossbow rushed into the army formation with an ear-piercing howl along the gap in the shield wall that had been torn apart before, and the wailing sound broke out again.

"Come on!"

"Go—!"

Yuan Shu, who was leaning over the horse's back and slowly retreating, his face turned green, subconsciously clamped the horse and reined in, trying to speed up a little and get out of the opponent's range.

He glanced back for a moment.

However, the soldier behind him was shot in the neck by the crossbow and fell off the horse amidst the wailing sound. The blood sprayed from the wound splashed his face, and even his vision was blurred.

"what-!"

Yuan Shu exclaimed, his body shuddered involuntarily, he was so frightened that he lost three of his seven souls.

At this moment, he didn't care about any formation, and immediately clamped his horse's belly and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way! Quickly retreat to the range of the bed crossbow!"

"Sheriff get down!"

At this moment, Dian Wei's voice also sounded.

Zhang Miao slammed onto the horse's back and turned his head to look around.

but see
Dian Wei strode like the wind, jumped up, the two iron halberds in his palm aimed at the flying crossbow arrows, and slashed suddenly, the crossbow arrows with the thickness of two fingers were hit by Dian Wei accurately, and the halberds were split in half. fell to the ground.

"What a Dianwei, really amazing!"

Zhang Miao admired inwardly, feeling deeply that it was the right choice to promote Dian Wei in the first place.

Especially now, he and Yuan Shu are both fleeing, people around Yuan Shu died in battle one after another, even himself was spattered with blood, but Zhang Miao was unscathed, in the final analysis, it was Dian Wei who was protecting Own.

This is true.
Without comparison, there is no harm!

Yuan Shu became more and more envious of Dian Wei. If he had Dian Wei's protection, why should he be afraid of the continuous arrows?
"hateful!"

Yuan Shu chewed secretly, envious and jealous, and expressed his envy and hatred, "Such a strong general is not used by me! How can Zhang Miao be compared with me, Yuan Shu? He also has such a strong general?"

now.

Xinji city head.

Looking at Yuan Jun who was defeated and fleeing, Cao Ren smiled awe-inspiringly, and immediately held up the Huan Shou knife, and shouted sonorously: "Brothers, Yuan Shu is defeated, Yuan Shu has escaped, go out of the city to hunt down, and destroy Yuan Shu!"

"kill-!"

This roar.

Like thunder, like a tsunami.

All the soldiers of Cao Jun at the top of the city shouted, and it shook all over the world in an instant, and spread it in all directions.

"Damn it! My lord actually retreated?"

"Even if the main general retreats, what are we going to insist on?"

"Hurry up and retreat, siege is courting death!"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"."

Soldiers are the prestige of generals, and the courage of generals.

Now that even the main general has been defeated, how can the soldiers dare to fight again.

In an instant, the defeat of the army was like a tide, and the clouds receded.

Cao Ren was overjoyed and shouted hoarsely:
"Open the city gate!"

"Chasing and killing—!"

Squeak-!
City Gate Exhibition.

The soldiers and horses who had been waiting for a long time filed out.

This is the rhythm of beating a dog in the water, how could Cao Cao give up.

"kill-!"

South Gate direction.

Generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan took the lead.

In the direction of the north gate, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu's fine cavalry also rushed out.

They immediately detoured from the left and right directions, led the fine cavalry under their command, and launched cutting and hunting tactics against the Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao coalition forces, making the already chaotic coalition forces even more chaotic.

Cao Jun cavalry are all equipped with three treasures of equestrianism. After half a year of crazy training, everyone can ride and shoot, and fight with spears in both hands. They are truly elite cavalry.

From the east and west gates, generals Li Dian and Yu Jin led the infantry to fight out, cutting the coalition forces of Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao in half from the middle. Cooperating with the cavalry from the north and south gates, they launched a unilateral crush.

If you look down on Xinji from a high altitude, the four cavalry will surround it from the outside with lightning speed, cooperate with the infantry from the east and west, and want to eat the Zhang and Yuan coalition forces gathered under the city in one bite.

Have to admit!
Cao Cao's appetite is indeed very big.

But in the face of the Zhang and Yuan coalition forces who have lost their will to fight, it is not impossible to realize such a big appetite.

If Cao Cao can really eat up this force, then he will definitely benefit from attacking Runan next time, and the difficulty factor will be directly reduced from five stars to two stars!

Eighty thousand coalition troops!
That's a full [-] soldiers and horses!
Even if it is impossible to eat all of them, being able to eat half of them is a huge victory.

At this moment, on the battlefield, Xiahoudun galloped his horse wildly, staring at General Yuan Jun who was also galloping forward, and charged forward without even saying hello.

"Thief, take your life!"

Cao Cao knew very well that the key to eating this group of soldiers and horses was to eradicate the generals in charge of the enemy army in the shortest possible time, especially those generals who were riding horses.

therefore.

He didn't give Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu other tasks, but asked them to find the enemy generals and kill them as quickly as possible, or drive them out of the encirclement.

At this moment, Xiahoudun just happened to bump into the general of Ximen, so he rushed up without saying hello, and the Bin Iron Spear in his palm hit him head-on without any fancy.

clang-!
Where the two guns intersect, sparks burst out.

A deafening golden iron explosion sounded loudly.

Although the opponent accepted the move, Xiahoudun fired all his firepower. In the first moment, he exploded his own strength to the extreme. While suppressing the opponent, he slammed his backhand violently.

fast!
quasi!
ruthless!
Unexpectedly, with lightning speed, he directly pressed against the body of the opponent's iron spear, there was a sound of rubbing, thousands of sparks flew, and the point of the gun along the barrel of the gun suddenly pierced towards the opponent's neck.

Whoa-!
The opponent gritted his teeth and roared, his eyes widened with anger, and while he tried his best to block with his hands, he turned his back to the sky, sank in an instant, and made an iron bridge, level with the horse's back.

Xiahou Dun has quicker eyes and faster hands!

I saw him holding the gun in both hands, with his left hand held in front and his right hand held behind him. He shook the barrel of the gun violently, and a huge and strange force passed along the body of the gun to the tip of the gun.

The enemy general on horseback felt as if his arms had been broken by the shock, and his body felt as if he had been hit with a giant hammer. His internal organs kept writhing, his throat was sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of 20-year-old blood.

Taking advantage of this blink of an eye, Xiahou Dun's next shot has already been shot like thunder.

Bin's iron gun spun around his waist, and from another direction, with an extremely strange and tricky angle, he blatantly shot, precisely hit the opponent's head, and burst like a watermelon with a bang.

"The thief general is dead!"

"Those who disarm and surrender, forget the past;"

"Those who resist in the corner will be shot and killed!"

At the same time, Cao Jun's horse and infantry shouted in unison:

"The thief general is dead!"

"Those who disarm and surrender, forget the past;"

"Those who resist in the corner will be shot and killed!"

"."

But their hands are constantly moving, as long as they have weapons in their hands, they are their enemies, and if they bump into them, they will be stabbed in the head and will not be tolerated.

Yuan Bing, who was terrified, watched Cao Jun come over, and threw away his weapon in fright. While raising his hands high, he suddenly closed his eyes and said hoarsely:

"I surrender, don't kill me!"

"Do not kill me!"

"."

Like a reef passing by in a wave, none of the dark Cao Jun attacked him, and passed by his side one after another.

Seeing this, Yuan Jun in the front, who dared to resist, threw away their weapons and raised their hands:

"I surrender, don't kill me."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"I surrender too!"

"."

One to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, a thousand to a thousand!

The sentiment of defeat and surrender quickly spread like a plague.

In the encirclement that Xiahou Dun was in charge of, almost all the Yuan soldiers threw away their weapons, raised their hands, and kept shouting for surrender. The battle situation was completely under his control, and there was no possibility of a reversal against the trend.

"Man Cheng!"

Xiahou Dun shouted sharply: "I am responsible for guarding the four directions, and you are responsible for collecting the prisoners."

Li Dian responded loudly: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

The scene in front of me is not only happening here at Xiahou Dun, but also Xiahouyuan, Yu Jin, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, etc. are also being staged continuously.

Battle of Xinji!

In the end, it ended with Cao Cao's complete victory!
