Two hundred and eighty-six decisive Gao Shun
Volume 1 of the heroic ambitions at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I was originally a filial and honest man, and I was determined to build my war tools more powerfully. I don’t know how much effort I put into.
In addition to carefully training the army, we also mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to build armour, creating a huge amount of armour to assist the war, which is something other warlords cannot do.
I don’t know if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can do it, but Lu Bu will definitely not do it anyway.
He has no time, no resources, no energy.
When the military formation reached a certain position, Guo Peng ordered the war drum to stop ringing, and the advancement of the military formation stopped moving forward in an orderly manner and set up defenses on the spot.
Gao Shun stopped when he saw that Guo Peng's military formation was still a short distance away from his military formation. He felt that this was not the range of ordinary crossbows. He was a little suspicious, and then immediately reacted, suspecting that Guo Peng wanted to use it for a long-range strike.
Judging from this posture, it is probably a long-range strike weapon such as a powerful crossbow.
There are many types of powerful crossbows, which are relatively high-end long-range strike weapons, and there are not many in Lu Bu's army.
This time, the troops attacked in two groups, and the limited crossbows were basically taken away by Lu Bu. There were only a few of them on his side and they could not form a large-scale attack, so they wouldn't be able to do so.
It seems that Guo Peng has many powerful crossbows.
The range of powerful crossbows is greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows. If you lack a large shield on your side, it may be difficult to defend and cannot retreat. You can only speed up your progress and strive to enter the crossbow shooting link as soon as possible.
So Gao Shun ordered the drum beat to speed up the speed, ordered the front-line army to speed up the speed of advance, and launched counterattacks and hand-to-hand combat as soon as possible to offset the opponent's advantage in the powerful crossbow.
As soon as the order was over, Gao Shun widened his eyes, as if he had seen some incredible scene.
It should be quite incredible for him.
A large number of arrows flew up from Guo Peng's military formation, drew a short, straight arc, accurately covering Gao Shun's military formation.
The average number is easy to say, but it can barely withstand it. After relying on those big shields for a while, you can enter the fighting range. The advantage of the powerful crossbow in range is meaningless.
But there are too many of them.
A storm of waves broke out in Gao Shun's heart.
Guo Peng...How many powerful crossbows are there?
At the beginning, there were not many. Guo Peng plundered the Qingzhou treasury and got more than 800 pieces. After a little understanding, Guo Peng collected craftsmen and began to create and make powerful crossbows of various strengths, such as arm-hanging crossbows, waist-hanging crossbows and slashing crossbows.
Later, he occupied Yanzhou, and Guo Peng plundered more than 800 powerful crossbows from several counties and states in Yanzhou and the Yellow Turban Army. In addition, he created himself over the years, nearly 10,000 powerful crossbows were able to be collected.
In addition to ordinary bows and arrows, Guo Peng also brought three thousand high-intensity waist-opening crossbows to the army. A group of soldiers who can skillfully use waist-opening crossbows can launch long-distance intensive shooting far better than ordinary bows and crossbows at any time.
The soldiers in Gaoshun's army rushed forward and heard a sound of breaking through the air. When they looked up slightly, they saw countless black things approaching quickly.
The next moment, the rain of arrows covered the area.
A dark piece fell from the sky, covering the ground. The people standing on the ground fell like a collapse, and a burst of blood splashed everywhere.
This is the first round, the second round and the third round.
Guo Peng equips each crossbowman with a shooting share of 100 bows and arrows, which can launch strikes for a longer period of time. If there is a long battle, someone can take over the shooting if he is exhausted.
When they were on the string, they sat on the ground, straightened their legs and kicked their bows, held crossbow arms, and used the legs and waist to swell the strings, and then took the arrows and bit the strings to aim and shoot. Rows of crossbowmen kept pulling the strings, raising arrows and shooting in batches, forming a rain of arrows.
It would be difficult to stop if it weren't for heavy infantry and tight shields, and the cavalry of the pre-stirrhage era could not bear it.
And it obviously doesn't take long to strike at the moment.
Each round of arrow rains strikes accompanied by the shouts of soldiers, showing the army's strong fighting will and strong combat power.
The fate of Gao Shun's army was no better than that of Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong. They were originally the hope of Gao Shun's decisive battle and the hope of opening up the road to victory in the war, but they were instantly buried.
After the arrow rain hit, not many people were still standing in the three military formations arranged by Gao Shun. Guo Peng immediately ordered a drum to advance. The front army immediately shouted loud battle horns, and with spears and shields, stepping on the pace of death, and attacked in an orderly manner.
The huge momentum directly defeated the fighting will of the alive Gao Shun army soldiers. They turned around and ran away with a roar.
"Brother, it's time, let the cavalry attack."
Guo Jia judged that the time had come, and immediately made suggestions to Guo Peng. Guo Peng nodded and ordered the cavalry to attack.
The sound of war drums suddenly became shorter and the military flag swayed. Zhao Yun and Le Jin each led a cavalry to start a roundabout attack on the wings of Gaoshun's army.
He defeated his cavalry, cut off his retreat, disrupted his morale, and directly collapsed his entire army.
Since the number of troops is the same, it is time to compete in other aspects.
Gao Shun, in other aspects, can I lose to you?
The situation on the battlefield was already quite obvious. Guo Peng's three front troops advanced together and attacked step by step with a sharp spear.
The defeated soldiers of Gao Shun's troops screamed and fled back. Although there were supervising teams who shot arrows and killed people, they were forbidden from approaching the military formation to disrupt the formation, they were not of much use. For them, the threat from the rear was much greater than the front.
"Let me go home!"
"I won't fight anymore and I'm going home!"
"If you don't let me go, I will kill you!!"
These soldiers who were close to the collapse of their spirits did not understand what military rules and regulations meant. They vigorously attacked the defense line of the supervisory team and directly destroyed the supervisory team. They shouted various words that shook the morale of the army, which successfully shook the morale of the army and caused the remaining military formation to feel panic.
The people in front died so quickly?
Then why am I still staying here?
Looking for death?
No matter how many supervising teams there were, they could not stop the collapsed military formation of the general. A large number of defeated soldiers abandoned their weapons and turned around and ran away without a trace of hesitation.
The difference between profession and non-profession is reflected here.
Gao Shun obviously had no expectations and no corresponding plan for this situation, and Guo Peng's military formation had already pursued him.
The soldiers accurately stabbed the spear into the enemy's body with their shiny spears, and thrust them out fiercely, pulled them out, and then pulled them out.
The enemies fell one by one, and the soldiers stepped forward on their bodies without looking squinted.
The two wings of cavalry roared over, and the galloping horses stirred up a burst of dust.
Zhao Yun and Lejin led troops to attack quickly, and defeated the rare and vulnerable Gao Shun army cavalry.
Then he attacked decisively, directly into Gao Shun's rear army, cut off their retreat routes, used cavalry and shooting to attack them inadvertently, shake their organization, and took out the equipped hand axe and threw it violently, would it kill people?
"General! Retreat quickly! It will be too late if you don't retreat!"
At this time, Gao Shun still did not respond as he should have on the hill.
He watched the military formation he had been struck out in a few seconds and was defeated. The 20,000 army was defeated at one touch, and he couldn't figure it out no matter what.
"You can't retreat! Now you retreat! It's all over! All 20,000 people are finished! The task assigned to us by General Lu has completely failed!"
Gao Shun broke free from Song Xian's hand that was pulling him and shouted: "Strike! Attack me! Abstain from retreat! Stay in the camp! Follow me forward!"
Gao Shun actually planned to personally lead the elite professional corps of the trap camp to attack, trying to turn the tide.
"General! It's too late! Guo Peng's cavalry has already launched an attack and will soon be able to cut off our retreat! If you don't leave, you will be able to catch Guo Peng in one go!"
"Can you escape the pursuit of his cavalry after leaving?"
Gao Shun roared: "If I retreat now, the coach flag will retreat, and the entire army will only collapse faster! Move forward now! There is still a glimmer of hope! I have decided! I will never retreat!"
Gao Shun pulled out his waist knife and pointed it forward: "Can't camp! Follow me forward!"
The camp was an elite trained by Gao Shun. He only followed Gao Shun's orders and the orders of the generals appointed by Gao Shun. Now Gao Shun ordered that the camp would follow Gao Shun without hesitation to attack.
Chapter completed!
