Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 107 Hulao Pass ([-])

Hulao Xiguan, the fierce battle has begun.

A light Han army of 600 soldiers first met the [-] Chu army,

"Death!" Jing Qian yelled violently, and the horizontal knife in his hand roared and slashed at the opposite Han army Sima.

"Ah!" Sima of the Han army standing in front of Jing Qian immediately fell into a pool of blood while clutching his stomach. Jing Qian's knife had already cut open his stomach, and a section of cyan large intestine was emerging from the split incision. Sima of the Han army screamed terribly, trying to stuff the overflowing intestines into the abdominal cavity, looking miserable.

The two Han troops headed towards Jingqian with ferocious eyes and roaring.

Jing Qian stretched out his tongue and licked the blood on the horizontal knife, and was about to go forward with a grinning grin, when a piercing scream suddenly sounded in his ears. He was shot through the neck, and fell down without saying a word, but the other person was shot in the left eye, and the sharp arrows pierced through the back of the head, and he screamed a few times before he died.

Turning around sharply, I saw that Pang Yu had already opened the iron tire bow again. This time, there were as many as four heavy spiked arrows clasped between the bronze finger sleeves of his right hand. The Spike's heavy arrow shot out with a sharp sound of piercing through the air. When Jing Qian looked back, four Han soldiers fell in response.

"Good arrow technique!" Jing Qian roared, drew his sword forward, and continued to move forward.

Behind Jing Qian, five hundred light soldiers formed a triangular formation with Jing Qian and Pang Yu as their front arrows, brandishing sharp double-edged swords, like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, howling and rushing into the formation. Into the Han army formation.

In an instant, the sound of swords and meat, the sound of weapons colliding with gold and iron, the screams of dying, and the beast-like roars of the soldiers on both sides have been intertwined into a cold, cruel, loud and gorgeous song. In the song of death, the light soldiers of the Han army blocking the way of the Chu army fell down piece by piece like weeds that had been cut down.

Not far away, Lu Tai was watching the battle.

Seeing the sharpness of the rebel army on the opposite side, Lu Tai couldn't help frowning slightly, and the expressions of the left and right generals all changed. Where did this rebel army come from?The same strength, the same light soldiers, but the light soldiers of the Han army were vulnerable to this rebel army, and they were completely defeated in less than half a stick of incense.

All of a sudden, Lu Tai raised his right hand and raised his index finger to press forward lightly, and said coldly: "Send out the heavy armored soldiers, first hold them back, then push out the bed crossbow, and hide behind the formation!" Coming from a famous family, reading so many military books is not for nothing. Not only can he judge the situation, but he is also extremely decisive.

"Promise!" The two Han generals suddenly agreed and took the order.

Almost at the same time, there was also a tidal wave of killing outside the East Gate.

Frowning, Lu Tai looked back at the two Han generals behind him, and ordered: "Your General, General Fat, I will give you three thousand light soldiers and one thousand archers, and the East Gate will be handed over to you."

"Promise!" The two Han generals agreed with a bang, and immediately took the order and left.

Lu Tai raised his right hand again and pressed it forward lightly. The five hundred heavy armored Han soldiers who had already formed a defensive formation immediately picked up their large shields, carried their double-edged heavy swords, and stepped on uniform steps, shouting A uniform slogan greeted the rebels advancing fiercely along the central street: "Roar! Roar! Roar..."

##########
On the opposite street, a sinister smile suddenly formed on the corner of Jing Qian's mouth.

All of a sudden, Jing Qian raised his horizontal knife high, and five hundred light soldiers untied their long rucksacks from their backs, and took out wooden handles more than five feet long and iron guns about the same length. Then he quickly inserted the wooden handle into the sleeve at the end of the iron gun head, and even combined it into a heavy javelin with a length of about ten feet.

"Awha!" Jing Qian yelled, and drew the horizontal knife forward at the same time.

A hundred light soldiers were divided into front and rear rows in an instant, and they started the run-up with cold heavy javelins.

When the distance from the heavy armor of the Han army on the opposite side was less than 20 steps, the light soldiers in the first row threw out their javelins first, and then the second row. In an instant, hundreds of cold heavy javelins had rushed over with ear-piercing screams. He rose up in the air, flew more than [-] steps in the air, and finally landed fiercely on the head of the heavy armor of the Han army.

The formation of the heavy armor of the Han army shrunk rapidly, and at the same time raised their large shields to form a thick shield wall directly in front of and above their heads. Hundreds of heavy javelins whizzed down, inserted into the thick shield wall, and shot out instantly There was a muffled sound, and the heavy armor of the Han army hidden under the shield wall suddenly let out continuous screams.

Jing Qian raised his sword again, and another hundred light soldiers started the run-up with javelins.

After ten rounds of javelin shooting, the heavily armored shield wall of the Han army was filled with heavy javelins, and the entire large shield formation looked like an iron armored monster covered with spikes, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.

##########
With the Han army in the rear, Lu Tai's face has become more solemn than ever.

The flying spears thrown by the rebels on the opposite side were somewhat beyond Lu Tai's expectations, but it also reminded him of one thing. Not long ago, he had seen a flying spear sent by King Ju Feiqi in Lu Ze's tent. The spear is said to be the standard weapon of the Chu army, and there is also an urgent letter requesting Lu Ze to make as many flying spears as possible according to the style.

The rebels on the opposite side had flying spears, so it was obviously impossible for them to be Chen Xi's rebels!
Chu army, the rebel army on the opposite side must be the Chu army, but how could the Chu army appear behind Hulao Pass?
Could it be that the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang has sneaked into Sanchuan County without anyone noticing? !No, this is impossible, the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang has been trapped in Qidi by the king and Mr. Zhang Liang, and it is absolutely impossible to appear here!However, what is the explanation for the Chu army in front of us?Could it be the small remnants of the Chu army who fled here?
##########
Lu Tai was in doubt for a while, the Chu army had already thrown ten rounds of javelins, and began to charge again.

The heavy armor of the Han army also removed the large shields held above their heads. Under the protection of the large shields, less than 20 people were directly stabbed to death by heavy javelins, and more than [-] people were injured. The total casualties can be said to be Insignificant, but when the heavy armor of the Han army removed the large shield, it was discovered that the large shield originally used for self-defense had become a great burden!
A heavy javelin was inserted into almost every large shield, and many large shields had two or more!

A heavy javelin weighs no more than ten catties, which is not enough to be a burden in terms of weight, but the length of more than one foot has caused a great obstacle to the maneuvering and conversion of the large shield. With a yank of his javelin, he can knock the heavy armored man and shield of the Han army to the ground!
The heavy armored soldiers of the Han army couldn't do anything, because the javelin had barbs and couldn't be pulled out at all. At most, the wooden pole of the javelin was cut off, but even so, the spear head left on the shield was still there. More than five feet long.

Sure enough, the Chu army used the tactic of pulling characters, and in less than a moment, the heavy armor of the Han army was already in chaos.

The most terrifying thing about heavy armor soldiers is their super strong defensive power, and the prerequisite for forming defensive power is to maintain a complete formation. Once the heavy armor formation is broken, the heavy armor of heavy armor soldiers will in turn become a burden. A heavy armored soldier is singled out. If the two sides are of equal strength, the light soldier can easily kill the heavy armored soldier!

The heavy armor of the Han army without the protection of the formation is like a buffalo. Although its skin is strong and thick, it is slow to respond. The advantages of lightness and lightness were brought to the extreme, and the Chu army was originally braver and better at fighting than the Han army, and suddenly there was a one-sided situation on the battlefield.

##########
The corner of Lu Tai's mouth twitched as the Han army was in the rear.

The dozen or so generals behind Lu Tai were even more dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

As early as more than 200 years ago, with the rise of the Great Wei State and the emergence of the great military strategist Wu Qi, heavy armored soldiers had replaced chariots as the mainstay on the battlefield, but this scene completely overturned the Han army's perception of heavy armored soldiers , The same number of heavy armored soldiers of the Han army actually lost to the light soldiers, and it was still a disastrous defeat, almost a one-sided massacre!

How is this possible?One general even rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Lu Tai breathed a sigh of relief, raised his right hand again, and said loudly: "The bed crossbow is ready!"

The hundreds of bed crossbows hidden in the rear suddenly made a horrible creaking sound. It was the sound made by the crossbowman when he used the winch to string the bed crossbow. Long, two-inch thick giant arrows have also been inserted into the bed frame of the bed crossbow. This is a multi-shot bed crossbow, and each bed crossbow can fire five giant arrows.

##########
On the opposite street, the heavy armor of the Han army has been completely defeated.

At least more than 200 heavy armored soldiers of the Han army were beheaded on the spot, and the rest ran into the alleys on both sides in embarrassment. Jing Qian ignored the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army who fled, but raised his horizontal knife and moved forward. Yin, with more than 300 light soldiers for the rest of their lives in the bloody battle, continued to crush them forward. His purpose was very clear, to seize the gate of Dongguan City and welcome Chen Xi's army to enter the pass!
After all, Jing Qian only had 500 light soldiers under his command, and it was impossible to win Hulao Pass with only [-] men.

"Oh..." Jing Qian raised his horizontal knife and howled again, "Assault, assault with all our strength, defeat the Han army..."

"Defeat the Han army!"

"Defeat the Han army!"

"Defeat the Han army!"

More than 300 light soldiers and sharp soldiers howled in response.

##########
The corner of Lu Tai's mouth twitched twice again when the Han army was in the rear. This momentum, this murderous look? !

All of a sudden, Lu Tai's raised right hand has been lightly lowered, and he said coldly: "Bed crossbow, attack!"

With an order, hundreds of bed crossbows that were originally hidden in the rear were pushed to the front of the formation in an instant, and then divided into two rows in a staggered manner. The next moment, more than a hundred crossbowmen raised their hands high The big wooden hammer slammed down on the crossbow at the back of the bed crossbow...
