The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284 Positional Battle ([-])
At this moment, Gai Meng discovered the movement of Wei Guang's cavalry.He immediately pointed it out to Liu Chan and said, "My lord, the enemy's cavalry is about to dispatch."

Liu Chan followed Gai Meng's instructions, and there were indeed many cavalry starting to form a team, and the slight commotion showed that they were likely to be dispatched.

Liu Chan immediately called the messenger and said, "Go and inform General Guan Xing immediately that the enemy is about to send out cavalry, so let him prepare for it!"

"Yes!"

The messenger led the horse and rode down the hillside.

Sure enough, Gai Meng was right, and within a quarter of an hour, Lu Jianjun's two cavalry units were dispatched.Their speed was slow at first, but quickly turned into a run as they accelerated, and then they became faster and faster.

The movement caused by the horseshoe hitting the ground is simply earth-shattering.Even standing on a distant mountain, Liu Chan could feel the ground shaking under his feet!

At this time, Liu Chan asked Gai Meng, "Help me see how many troops the enemy has dispatched this time."

Gai Meng thought for a while and said, "According to the scale, the enemy's attack this time must be less than 2000 people, and it should be between 300 and 300 people. Their target is the troops on the flat ground on the left wing of our army!" The estimate is quite accurate, and the error is only between [-] people. In such an attack formation, it is really rare to be able to achieve this level.

Liu Chan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then the enemy's attack this time is obviously just a tentative attack. It seems that Lu Jian has Zhao Yan by his side, and his actions have indeed calmed down a lot."

While the two were talking, Wei Guang's cavalry was less than 130 meters away from the first row of wooden shields on the left.

Guan Xing immediately shouted loudly: "The archers are ready!"

The enemy's distance quickly approached 140 meters from the first row of wooden shields!

Guan Xing shouted loudly: "Archers shoot!"

The distance finally approached the first row of wooden shields by 120 meters, and the distance from the archers was only [-] meters, and they were completely within the effective strike range of Liu Chan's archers.

Guan Xing shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"

There was a sound of sharp arrows piercing the air on the battlefield, which made Liu Chan's skin get goose bumps.

I saw a dark cloud rising from the sky above the battlefield, covering the sunlight and casting a shadow on the ground!
After each sharp arrow reached the highest point, they all swooped down suddenly, rushing towards the cavalry on the ground overwhelmingly.

"Pfft... puff..."

The sound of arrow clusters piercing the flesh is endless.

Everyone in the Wei Guang Army, who was originally imposing like a rainbow, fell on their backs!The screams of people and the neighing of war horses sounded at the same time, but they were immediately drowned out by the ceaseless sound of galloping horseshoes.

The dead man fell from the horse, and the ownerless horse fled to the side, slightly disrupting Wei Guangjun's charge.But the enemy continued to sprint forward, and soon approached 100 meters.

Guan Xing didn't have time to understand the results of the battle, so he ordered loudly again: "Archers shoot their arrows!"

Then, he immediately shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The rain of arrows poured down on the enemy's formation again, the arrows still swarmed into the body, screams, horses and soldiers fell down... followed by death!
But the enemy cavalry was indeed brave, and chose to continue to charge forward without fear.After all, the enemy is not far away, as long as they rush over, maybe the glory of victory belongs to them!
At this time, the enemy was about to rush in front of him—less than 80 meters away, Guan Xing couldn’t help drawing out his long sword because of his excitement, turned his horse’s head and shouted loudly: “The crossbowmen aim!”

Within such a short distance, the bow and crossbow are absolutely lethal to the armor of the cavalry!

Guan Xing swung his long sword down, and there was a sharper sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.Like the scythe of death, the crossbow arrows cut through the sky and flew towards the enemy!

The cross-sectional cavalry in the front rows were all pierced by crossbow arrows, and then fell off their horses one after another.Even many war horses fell to the ground because of their injuries, and even tripped up many comrades behind!The harm caused by a salvo of bows and crossbows is almost the same as the damage caused by two bows and arrows!
At this time, after three long-distance strikes, Wei Guang's cavalry had lost more than 200 men, but this was not an unbearable loss, and the enemy was right in front of them.

Wei Guang shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the enemy is in sight, raise your gun, raise your gun..."

The cavalry who had been crouching on their horses to avoid the arrows all sat upright from their horses at this time, and all their spears were raised.They are no longer afraid of each other's bow and arrow strikes, because they have no time to shoot arrows!

The morale of all the cavalry became high again, and many of them were even so excited that they kept yelling, "Kill, kill, kill..."

boom……

boom……

boom……

……

It was like hell, the cavalry team was turned on their backs!
This was not because the spears of the cavalry finally hit Liu Chan's specially designed wooden shield, but because they all suddenly fell into the horse trap dug in advance!

It turned out that within 50 meters in front of the shield, Liu Chanjun had already dug out many horse pits.The inside is full of sharpened wooden stakes and sharpened bamboos, covered with a layer of straw mats, and covered with a layer of floating soil, which is really difficult for the human eye to distinguish.

People and horses will definitely fall into it, and they will definitely be stabbed in the intestines and rotten. There is absolutely no possibility of survival. The death is really horrible.

But in order to keep secret, these horse pits were only dug last night, so the number is actually not very large, and about a total of more than 100 enemy troops were killed.The remaining six or seven hundred cavalry finally rushed to the front of the first row of wooden shields.

The boom sounded again.

The spears of the cavalry who arrived in the first row pierced the wooden shield. Since the wooden bar was not covered with cowhide, the spears continued to impact at high speed.But what shocked the cavalry was that even so, the wooden shield was still standing upright, and it didn't look like it fell down at all.

At this moment, the arrows of Liu Chanjun's crossbowmen and archers were reloaded.Under Guan Xing's order, he flew towards the cavalry again, killing all the cavalry in the first three rows at once.

Seeing this, Wei Guang knew that he would never be able to complete this mission.He suddenly remembered Zhao Yan's order just now, telling him to withdraw his troops immediately if he found that something was wrong.

Therefore, Wei Guang turned his horse's head and ordered loudly: "Everyone retreat, retreat..."

Wei Guang started his war horse first, and ran back quickly, as if he was afraid that Liu Chan's sharp arrow would fly past again.So, all the surviving cavalry turned their horses around and ran back as fast as they could.

Just as the battle between Liu Chan and Lu Jianjun had begun, the two armies of Liao Sheng and Bao Sanniang had been lying in ambush for a long time in the mountains.They were all anxiously waiting for the time to attack their prey, and the atmosphere before the battle seemed rather tense.
