More than ten thousand Shence troops were fully armed and rushed to the coalition camp.

The coalition thought there were no strong enemies nearby, and was eager to attack Luoyang, so the camp was built without any warning. Even the nearby horses had never been arranged, and it was just a mess, just treating this place as a temporary resident.

Now, when the Shence Army appeared on the horizon, a large number of scouts had quickly entered the camp to report, and the entire camp began to boil.

The troops began to hurry to prepare to face the enemy.

It is obviously impossible to rely on the camp to defend the camp, because there is no chance to defend it at all. At this point, it seems that there is no other way except to fight the Shen Ce Army.

Wei Chenliang's heart was already sinking.

When these divine weapons descended from the sky, he felt something was wrong, but he knew that there was no way out at the moment. Even if he fled now, not to mention the pursuers behind, even the five military camps that had occupied various high grounds and were about to rush, it would be difficult to deal with.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and it seems that the only way to survive is to fight for a bloody path.

At this time, he had no time to boost morale, so he rushed to arrange troops and drove these soldiers out of the camp like cattle and horses, and then set up their own formations in a swarm of rushing around.

In fact, most of the governors present did not have much experience in leading troops, and they were a little panicked at this time, so Wei Chenliang was a little brave.

This is also impossible. What Wei can trust is his relatives. Their choices for talent selection are not widespread. Those who are loyal to the Li family cannot entrusted important tasks. Those who are loyal to the other five surnames and seven families dare not trust easily. People in Guandong must be careful. This is a full plan, and there are only a limited number of people who can be reused. Since there are not many particularly talented people, naturally, they have to select talents from their relatives.

The Wei family is indeed a big family and has trained a lot of talents, but the Wei family needs too many talents and they must occupy a critical position. They are already in short supply. As for the governor who is released from abroad, they don’t care about their talents. The most important thing is to reassure people, and they must be close relatives.

They were prepared for a long time, and Wei Chenliang and others were pretty good at it. After all, they had never eaten pork, and had always seen pigs walking, and at least they had an experience as a rank-in official. But when they really encountered something, they didn't have such a good demeanor.

For Wei Chenliang, what he was most worried about was not the case. What he was worried about was the elite boys who had already sharpened their swords. Although they were just watching from a distance, they obeyed orders. How could Wei Chenliang not know how powerful these people were?

These people are well-trained and experienced in battle formations, and they can beat ten. These people defeated countless soldiers and horses. They can be said to be victorious in every battle. The equipment of these people is the best weapons, and there are even crossbows that make people feel disgusted.

And to deal with these people, obviously the only way is to get close to them as quickly as possible, causing them to fall into a fierce battle. After all, there are many people on their side, and there are too many ants to eat elephants, and at least there is a chance to defeat them.

But……

How to get close quickly? They have no cavalry at all.

That's right, the coalition forces had no cavalry at all. The fiefs of these people were in the south. The weather in the south was relatively hot and it was difficult to cultivate war horses. Although there were horses in the army, there were very few and they could not be organized into effective combat power.

At this time, the coalition forces were still in a mess, and it was difficult to coordinate between the various departments. If they were given enough time, they might be able to be a little bit like this, but now... they obviously don't have enough time.

So they started to push each other, and even started to yell and scold each other, with slight chaos everywhere and various scoldings.

Wei Chenliang frowned. At this time, the Shence Army had already begun to attack. They were like a long snake, lined up in line, and then rumbled slowly towards this side.

Getting closer...

A cold sweat broke out on Wei Chenliang's forehead. He knew very well that the other party would not give him a chance to prepare, and at this time, he had to bite the bullet.

"Go to fight!" Wei Chenliang roared, and drums began to sound in the camp.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The thunderous drum sounds were like death talismans, and finally overwhelmed the various noisy sounds.

As the drums became more and more rapid, finally... the coalition forces looked a little bit. These hundreds of thousands of people were scattered within several miles, each making loose preparations to face the enemy.

Wei Chenliang knew very well that at this time, he could only set an example, and others could not count on it. If you want to boost morale and make everyone use their lives, the only way is to set an example by Shenwei Army.

To be honest, only Wei Chenliang has really worried about training troops, so the Shenwei Army is the strongest among the armies.

Without saying anything at this time, Wei Chenliang issued an order directly and the Shenwei Army attacked.

"Kill!" Finally, there was a brave general of the Shenwei Army who turned over the horse. This person was the deputy general of the Shenwei Army, named Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei was also a veteran. Like Fang Jing, they had served as military officers in the Flying Cavalry Army, but... the fate of the two was completely different. Fang Jing became the governor of the Shence Army. However, because Wei Chenliang went to Shenwei Town for a long time, Zhao Wei asked him from Queen Wei and took him to the Shenwei Army to train.

To a certain extent, Fang Jing and Zhao Wei's military training methods can be said to be from the same school. Both sides inherited the system of the Flying Cavalry. Although each of them has been modified, the essence is not different.

However... it is obvious that training is not just a method, but also a resource.

Different resources and soldiers trained are completely different.

The Shence Army is dedicated to building and has the best logistics system in the world. Because of this, it can withstand the most harsh exercises.

But what about Shenweijun? To put it bluntly, most people in this era only have two meals a day. If both meals are white rice, it is good. Shenweijun is like this. Although they have barely received support, you expect a group of guys who only have two meals a day to practice to death as Shencejun every day. I am afraid that it will take less than half a month to lie down 80% of the soldiers.

Not to mention, the Shence Army has the most excellent equipment and has also cultivated a group of middle and lower-level military officers as the backbone. Each of them has extremely rich combat experience.

Zhao Wei seemed a little lacking in confidence, but at this time, he still turned over and shouted: "Prepare..."

Finally, there was still power left. At Zhao Wei's order, countless military horses began to gather at him.

At this time, the Shence Army on the opposite side was getting closer and closer...

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Kill!" As the Shen Ce Army got closer, Zhao Wei raised the long sword in his hand high, and countless Shen Wei troops, like a flood peak, rushed towards the Shen Ce Army.

At this point today, this relatively elite Shenwei Army is actually a little clear. What they are facing is a situation of death. If they want to live, they can only live to the death with the Shen Ce Army.

Zhao Wei was usually very strict in his military administration, so the Shenwei Army finally looked like a good match.

Countless people rushed to raise their swords and rushed towards the Shen Ce Army.

Their wishful thinking is very simple. They set an example by themselves, and then encourage the morale of other departments. In the end, everyone just fought together for life. If they could severely damage the Shen Ce Army, they would have a chance to escape.

Crazy...

The Shen Ce Army suddenly stopped advancing.

Everyone looked ahead, and then everyone raised the crossbow in their hands.

The continuous crossbow has been widely used in Qin Shaoyou's army. This is of course due to the large-scale production of the continuous crossbow. As time goes by, the craftsmanship of the production has become more and more proficient. And because of large-scale production, some processes and manufacturing processes have also been greatly improved.

Now the daily output is as high as hundreds of pieces a day. In addition, the production of crossbow arrows is also on the right track, which is enough to support the consumption of training and combat.

For this reason, the soldiers holding the crossbow also had a special belt, which tied the belt to their bodies, and there were small holes on the belt to load crossbow arrows. In this way, it was easier to carry this short crossbow arrow. In the Shen Ce Army, each person carried as many as thirty crossbow arrows.

The pairs of crossbows had been lifted up. They were too familiar with the crossbows in their hands. With the extensive equipment of crossbows, they were increasingly dependent on crossbows during combat, so the practice of crossbows became more and more common. At this moment, everyone was raising crossbows here, which was indescribable.

People in the distance have begun to approach, and many people can even vaguely see each other's faces.

Almost everyone realized that the other party had entered their effective range.

But... they still held the crossbows steadily, and did not move at all.

After the shooting command, they pressed the machine without hesitation.

Hissing...

Countless sounds of breaking through the air came out.

Immediately afterwards, the locust that looked like raindrops shot out flat.

Afterwards, the faces in front of them began to twist from anger, and many people fell to the ground like harvesting wheat.

It doesn't take too much time, and it's the second and third rounds of volleys.

Countless arrows did not stop and immediately blocked the vision in front of them.

At this time, the Shenwei Army began to suffer a large number of casualties. They had long heard of the legendary crossbows, and even... the Shenwei Army not far from Luoyang was also quite interested in the crossbows. Wei Chenliang even tried his best to get more than a dozen crossbows from various channels, but... the crossbows were useless in his hands because he did not have enough channels to supply the crossbows needed for these crossbows.

Crossbow arrows must be produced in the workshop of the Shence Army. Because the crossbows are fired, the accuracy requirements for crossbow arrows are extremely high, otherwise it is very easy to "stuck". Once they are stuck, the crossbow will become waste.

Wei Chenliang has not tried to produce such crossbow arrows, but this precise requirement of not a slight accuracy made him shocked. On the one hand, the cost was too great and it was definitely not something he could bear. After all, the craftsmen he recruited could produce more than a dozen crossbow arrows to obtain a qualified crossbow arrow, and it required special inspection personnel. The cost was beyond his tolerance range. On the other hand, it was a cost issue. Even if you can produce on a small scale, the cost required for small scale production was even higher. To reduce this cost, the only way was to produce on a large scale, but he soon discovered that if you want to produce on a large scale, the cost would be even higher. The crossbow arrow alone would require tens of millions of chunks of investment a year, which was definitely not something he could bear, even the imperial court could not bear this astronomical figure.

However, when the Shenwei Army truly saw the power of the continuous crossbow, they realized that this high cost was worth it to some extent. This continuous crossbow with extremely lethality and extremely fast firing rate left almost no blind spots in all directions under the group shooting. People fell down one by one. Not to mention the Shenwei Army, I am afraid that even the flying cavalry would be difficult to get closer.

Wei Chenliang's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He was watching the battle behind him. Seeing his Shenwei army consumed so much, his heart was bleeding. He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but shout: "If this continues, I'm afraid that the entire army will be wiped out and it will be difficult to get close to the thief army. You can't retreat, you can't retreat, you can't retreat, you can't quit, it's not important to attack... It's not important, you see, this Shence army is not without loopholes, and there are obviously omissions on their wings. If at this time, each unit takes advantage of this opportunity to rush over, we have more people, and we are ten times more afraid of anything, don't be afraid, hurry up... I'll send the command to make them advance quickly and destroy the thief... It's only today, otherwise..."

Halfway through his words, someone came in a hurry and said in a crying voice: "Governor, Jingzhou Army has withdrawn..."

Withdrawn...

Wei Chenliang fought a cold war, and then he realized that on his flank, the governor of the Jingzhou Army, who was his cousin, was already as anxious as a dog of a family, and took his own troops and began to leave in the other direction.

He...how could he do this? Did he think he could run away?

Wei Chenliang gritted his teeth. He never expected that he would fight hard in front of him and would not ask them to be the pioneers. However, these guys refused to even put in the battle. When they saw that something was wrong, they actually wanted to leave as the best strategy.

Stupid...unattractive.
