Crossbow Ship is showing off

Twenty thousand Han army light soldiers swarmed up and began to quickly clear the Luzhai in front of the Chu army camp, resist horses and fill trenches. The village walls of the Chu army camp were still there, archers were still pulling their bows and shooting directly on the arrow tower, and the Chu army's throwing carts never stopped bombarding, but this was no longer enough to stop the Han army's light soldiers from clearing the obstacles. (--net.)

Because the Chu army archers were being restrained by the Han army archers.

In a moment, the Luzhai, which was set up in front of the camp, was cleared a small half of the horses, and several sections of the trenches were also filled.

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed through Liu Bang's eyes. He turned around and said to Zhang Liang: "Zifang, Xiang Zhuang's son is still unwilling to use the crossbow. When will he wait?"

Zhang Liang stroked the sparse willow beards under his chin and said, "Is it because Xiang Zhuang planned to directly join the cavalry?"

The situation in front of them is obvious. The 20,000 Han army light troops have been fully in place. Archers alone are no longer enough to stop their obstacle clearance operations. If the Chu army does not want the Han army light troops to clear the Luzhai, resist horses, and then fill the trenches, then they will have only one choice left, that is, to dispatch cavalry to drive them away.

"Caval? No way." Liu Bang frowned when he heard this. He didn't believe that Xiang Zhuang would make such a bad decision.

No matter what, Liu Bang fought a lifelong battle. Of course, he knew that the Chu cavalry could easily kill the Han army's light soldiers who were working on clearing obstacles. However, once the Han army dispatched cavalry, the two armies would be entangled. At that time, the long-range weapons of both sides, including the Chu army's crossbow, would be all arranged.

Will Xiang Zhuang choose to compete with him in cavalry? No, right?

However, as soon as Liu Bang finished speaking, the gate of the Chu army camp and the auxiliary doors on both sides suddenly opened, and three hanging suspension bridges quickly landed. Then, a group of Chu army light cavalry had already surged out of the camp. These Chu army cavalry had slightly formed a formation in the open space in front of the camp, and then scattered left and right, pounced on the Han army light soldiers who were clearing the obstacles like wolves.

"This, this, this, this...Xiang Zhuang's son has really dispatched cavalry?!" Liu Bang's face was full of disbelief.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's eyebrows were covered with a layer of haze at the same time. The two of them suddenly had a very bad premonition. Xiang Zhuang was definitely not an easy person. How could he not know the consequences of the cavalry on both sides being mixed together? But Xiang Zhuang still did this. Is there another mystery in the middle? Does the Chu army have other backup plans?

However, even though Zhang Liang and Chen Pingzhi were extremely tricky, they were still puzzled at this moment.

However, Lu Tai did not hesitate at all. He raised his left and right hands and pressed forward hard. Zhou Guanfu turned around and shouted to the sky with a thunderous sound: "The general has an order, both wings come out together, and Hu cavalry...attack!"

The military order was immediately put down, and the 80,000 Hu cavalry on the left and right wings instantly felt like a flood breaking the dike, and swept across the Han army's main formation and swept forward like a sea of ​​rushing forward. Although Lu Tai was young, he was extremely cruel in his use of troops. He keenly captured a fleeting fighter from it and decided to directly throw himself into the entire cavalry to assault the Chu army camp.

In an instant, the Mianshui River beach was filled with the vast ocean of Hu Qi. The endless horse's heads were scattered up and down, and endless horse's hair was floating. Countless iron hooves brutally knocked across the grass beach. In the rumbling sound of horse hooves, endless grass and mud were splashing everywhere. For a moment, there was no other sound in the world.

The cluster charge of tens of thousands of cavalry is not just a huge momentum?

As the earth shook, the 10,000 heavy armored Han army and 30,000 Han army archers who had already stepped forward a hundred steps away from the Chu army camp were stirred up in an instant, and then fled in all directions at the fastest speed. There was no way. If they did not move out of the front as soon as possible, they would definitely be trampled into flesh mud by the cavalry. Those cruel and cruel Hu people would not care about their lives or death.

After clearing Luzhai, the Han army's light soldiers who refused to fight horses didn't care about filling the trenches. They jumped into the trenches like dumplings, allowing the Chu cavalry to shoot arrows, and refused to climb up again, because the surging Hu cavalry arrived in an instant, and they didn't want to be stepped into meat paste by thousands of iron hooves.--net.

#############

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but take a breath and said coldly: "Old Liu Bang is indeed cruel!"

Baili Xian nodded sternly and said solemnly: "If we hadn't been prepared for this little mistake, the camp would probably have been lost!"

This is by no means an alarmist statement. The Chu cavalry was only five thousand cavalry. Not only could it not stop the surging Hu cavalry, but it would affect the shooting of Chu archers, catapulted chariots and various crossbows. Taking advantage of the gap between the Chu army's long-range shooting troops and throwing rats, the Hu cavalry would approach the Chu army camp without any effort.

Next, it will be a disaster!

Because at this time, the walls of the Chu army camp had been broken by the Han army's catapults, and the protective effect was better than nothing. The Luzhai in front of them had been almost completely cleared. The only thing that could hinder the Hu cavalry was probably a trench that was two feet wide and more than one feet deep, but this was not an insurmountable gap.

Not to mention whether the Chu army's gate and the suspension bridges on both sides of the auxiliary gates can be raised in time. The trenches that the Han army's light troops have filled almost the same will be enough for the Hu cavalry to swarm in. Once the Hu cavalry rushed into the camp, even if the Chu army is well-trained, the morale of the army will definitely be disintegrated, and the next one will probably be one-sided massacre.

Baili Xian sighed and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately this is not a mistake, but a trap!"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, raised his left and right hands, and pressed forward harder. Hu Yan, who was standing behind Xiang Zhuang, suddenly turned around and turned back, and shouted loudly to the sky: "The king has an order, the two-wing navy...attack!"

The military order was about to come down, and more than 600 naval warships slanted on the Mianshui River on both sides of the north and south sides lifted the reed mats covered on the bow, and instantly revealed a series of ferocious crossbows. The next moment, more than 600 Chu army small schools standing on the bow raised their horizontal swords in their hands.

#############

"Is this..." Liu Bang's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

"Cross crossbow?!" Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at each other. The cunning Xiang Zhuang actually moved the Cross crossbow to the navy warship. Now the trouble is so big that the Hu Qi who attacks is probably going to be severely injured again.

A cold sweat of beans blew out of Lu Tai's forehead in an instant. He thought it was a fleeting fighter, but he didn't expect it to be a trap. This was actually a carefully constructed trap! In an instant, Lu Tai's heart sank to the bottom of Jiuyou Valley. In trouble, Hu Qi, who attacked, was afraid that he would suffer a heavy blow again.

At this time, the Hu cavalry who attacked had already started to speed up. As the saying goes, there is no turning back when they shoot the bow. Now they can't retreat even if they want to retreat.

#############

As the horizontal swords fell from the Chu Army's small school, more than 600 Chu soldiers smashed the wooden hammers in their hands one after another. A continuous "bang bang bang..." sounded suddenly on the surface of the Mianshui River, which was the sound of crossbow arms bounced. In the next moment, five thousand giant arrows as thick as arms roared towards the Hu Qi running wildly on the river beach.

In just a moment, five thousand giant arrows pierced into the vast ocean of cavalry, and the river beach suddenly fell over.

"Swish..." A giant arrow shot through the head of a war horse, and the remaining momentum was still unscathed and the belly of another Hu cavalry behind him. The two war horses that suffered severe damage suddenly fell to the ground. The two Yuezhi people on the horse's back even flew forward under the influence of inertia, and flew dozens of steps before falling to the ground.

Then, before the two of them got up, the other two war horses fell from the sky and pressed on them. Before they could say a moment, they were crushed into meat paste by the heavy war horses.

A Xiu Tu Xiao Wang reacted quickly and would shrink his thin body to the side of the horse's belly when he was unable to do so. However, his skillful riding skills failed to help him escape the bad luck. A huge arrow roared and shot through the horse's belly and pierced his chest, nailing the Xiu Tu Xiao Wang and his horse to death on the spot.

The penetration and lethality of the crossbow are fully displayed at this moment!

No matter how strong the war horse is, it cannot resist it. The Hu people on the horse's back are even worse. They will die if they are touched by giant arrows!

With just one volley, the Hu cavalry suffered heavy casualties of thousands of cavalry, and more Hu cavalry tripped to the ground, and the people and horses were overturned, hindering the charge of the subsequent cavalry. In addition to the three or five thousand cavalry who escaped the disaster in front, they continued to sprint forward, but more than 70,000 cavalry in the rear were forced to slow down their horse speed.

However, the nightmare of the Hu cavalry has just begun.

Cavalry can only have power when they rush. Once they lose their horse speed, it will be a big trouble.

After a while, the second giant arrows roared again, then the third and fourth... The Chu army crossbows not only had unparalleled lethality, but also had a firing speed beyond imagination.

The entire river beach instantly became the Shura Blood Prison. The speed of horses was lost. The crowded Hu cavalry fell down one by one under the repeated shooting of the Chu army's crossbows. The endless wailing screams and the sad neighing of the war horses before their death suddenly intertwined into an extremely tragic music of death, which was so shocking that it was suffocating.

#############

"Retreat, retreat quickly..." Lu Tai clenched his fists and was roaring hysterically to the sky, "Retreat!"

"The general has an order, the cavalry retreats, retreat..." Zhou Guanfu roared repeatedly. In fact, the command of the nest car and the next level of the nest car had already raised the flag of the Hu Qi retreat. However, it was not easy for the more than 70,000 Hu Qi who had already been in chaos on the river beach ahead to retreat.

Liu Bang's old face covered with old spots was twitching violently. The biggest advantage of the Han army over the Chu army was the cavalry, but now, the Hu cavalry was slaughtered by the Chu army's crossbows on the river beach ahead. That's right, this is the massacre, a complete massacre, what a cunning child Xiangzhuang, who was touched by his words this time.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also looked solemn. They failed in the first battle today, and there was a hard battle next. However, no matter what, the Han army must win the Mianshui battle, which must be!
Chapter completed!
