Chapter 465 of the main text of Mihan: The dead piled up and dispersed due to enemies. Most of those who love the history of the Three Kingdoms have heard of Zhuge Liannu's reputation.
As the name suggests, the Zhuge Liannu is a repeating crossbow made by Zhuge Liang. The original name of Zhuge Liannu was Yuanrong Nu.
Due to the lack of historical data, later generations do not know when Zhuge Liang made the Zhuge Liannu.
But for such a powerful weapon, even if Zhuge Liang learned a lot about heaven and earth, the production cycle would never be short.
After traveling to the current world, Mi Yang made many insinuations about whether Zhuge Liannu had been created during this time period out of curiosity in his heart.
It is not easy for others to detect this news, but with Mi Yang's identity, it is easy for him to know this matter.
He is Zhuge Liang's beloved disciple, so just write and inquire directly.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liannu exists in the Han army at this time.
Zhuge Liannu's sketch design was actually completed together with his wife Huang Yueying when Zhuge Liang was young, before he left Longzhong that year.
Although he later became an official, it was a pity that in the early days of following Liu Bei, Liu Bei's base area was weak and unstable. Of course, he did not have the national power to support Zhuge Liang to turn the Zhuge Liannu in the sketch into reality.
But after the Battle of Hanzhong, the Han Dynasty who occupied the two states of Jing and Yi had the initial national strength to forge the Zhuge Liannu for Zhuge Liang.
However, due to the complicated forging process of Zhuge Liannu, even if Zhuge Liang devoted all his national power, he could only build thousands of Zhuge Liannu in several years.
And unlike what later generations thought, Zhuge Liannu could be carried by his soldiers.
The Zhuge Liannu was too large in size and weight to be used by a single soldier, so after forging the Zhuge Liannu, Zhuge Liang placed thousands of Zhuge Liannu in Yangping Pass to guard Yangping Pass.
The above are all the inconveniences of Zhuge Liannu.
But Zhuge Liangnu had so many inconveniences, yet Zhuge Liang still insisted on forging it, certainly not to satisfy his own desire for invention.
Zhuge Liannu's various inconveniences made it extremely powerful.
Mi Yang personally tested the power of Zhuge Liannu a few days ago.
In previous experiments, Mi Yang discovered that Zhuge Liannu could fire ten arrows continuously in a very short period of time, which gave Zhuge Liannu strong firepower.
This is enough to make Mi Yang happy. What makes Mi Yang even more happy is that even the arrows of Zhuge's crossbow are specially made.
At a time when most arrows in the world were still made of wood, Zhuge Liannu's arrows were all made of iron.
"Use iron as an arrow, the arrow is eight inches long."
When future generations read these eight words, they may not be able to appreciate the shock these eight words bring.
But when these eight words fall into the eyes of the world, they are enough to surprise anyone.
With these eight words, it is enough to ensure that Zhuge Liannu's arrows have extremely strong armor-breaking capabilities!
Even speaking from the knowledge of future generations, once an arrow made of iron is shot into the enemy's body, even if it misses the vital point, it is difficult for the enemy who is hit to survive the subsequent treatment.
There is a disease called tetanus.
Thousands of Zhuge's crossbows are Mi Yang's greatest confidence in this battle.
When tens of thousands of Wei troops led by Cao Zhen entered Yangping Pass, he found that there were not no Han troops in the pass.
There are still nearly a thousand Han troops in the pass, and they are relying on the steep terrain in the pass to continuously block the invasion of a large number of Wei troops.
Seeing this scene, Cao Zhen had a sneer on his lips.
His bet was right today. Mi Yang indeed transferred most of the sergeants to the pass to ambush Cao Hong.
Otherwise, he would definitely face more than just these Han troops now.
After realizing this, Cao Zhen kept waving the command flag in his hand, causing the surrounding Wei troops to continue pressing toward the pass regardless of the cost.
Cao Zhen knew what his purpose was - Cao Hong might be facing a fierce attack by Mi Yang's army at the moment, so the more violent he attacked from the rear, the less danger Cao Hong would encounter.
Moreover, now his army has rushed into Yangping Pass. Even if Mi Yang now knows the military situation behind the pass and wants to urgently dispatch sergeants to help, how many troops will he mobilize while he is fighting Cao Hong fiercely?
Yangping Pass, from the moment he rode his horse into it, already belonged to his Wei Dynasty.
At this moment, Cao Zhen's face was filled with pride.
Even Cao Zhen was thinking about whether to kill Mi Yang after he captured him.
Cao Zhen really couldn't bear to kill Mi Yang.
What Cao Zhen didn't know was that while his face was full of joy, there was a pair of eyes as calm as water in the dense forest around him, constantly watching him.
Even though Fa Miao beside him kept urging Mi Yang to activate Zhuge Liannu, Mi Yang's calm eyes did not change at all.
Wei Jun didn't go deep enough!
The life and death duel between famous generals can often be concluded in an instant.
The moment is right now, and the more it happens, the more Mi Yang needs to calm down.
Just after Mi Yang waited patiently for half an hour, he noticed that no more Wei troops were coming outside the pass, and the forwards of the Wei troops inside the pass were approaching step by step, very close to his hilltop.
After realizing this, Mi Yang stopped waiting.
A young general decisively pulled out the long sword from his waist in the dense forest. As a clear shout resounded in the dense forest, the tip of the shining cold sword pointed at the tens of thousands of Wei troops below.
With Mi Yang's sword pointed at tens of thousands of enemies, thousands of Han troops who had been prepared for a long time immediately launched the Zhuge Liannu in their hands without any hesitation.
Zhuge Liannu is difficult to use alone. To successfully operate a Zhuge Liannu, at least three soldiers need to cooperate with each other.
When thousands of Han troops uniformly loaded arrows into Zhuge's crossbows, almost the next second, thousands of unstoppable fine iron arrows were fired towards the tens of thousands of Wei troops below.
In order to quickly clear the participating Han troops blocking the front, Cao Zhen ordered hundreds of cavalry to clear the way directly in front of the army.
The tall cavalry walked majestically at the forefront of the tens of thousands of Wei troops, so these hundreds of cavalry were also the first to be attacked by the thousands of iron arrows.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before the hundreds of Wei cavalry could react, thousands of extremely fast iron arrows flew directly in front of them.
Following a chilling popping sound, pieces of blood foam exploded in mid-air in front of hundreds of Wei cavalry like petals flying all over the sky.
Soon after, deep holes with blood flowing continuously appeared on the bodies of hundreds of Wei cavalry.
Thousands of iron arrows directly penetrated the bodies of hundreds of Wei soldiers, making them unable to die.
When these hundreds of Wei cavalry died, their originally upright bodies fell heavily to the ground from their tall horses like kites with broken strings.
At the same time, most of the hundreds of horses that had lost their owners were pierced and killed by the incoming iron arrows. For a time, the sad neighing of the horses echoed through Yangping Pass one after another.
When the sad neighing sound fell, the corpses of hundreds of tall horses fell backwards uncontrollably.
Just like the Yangpingguan city gate that was forced open by the Wei army just now.
One shot and a hundred horses fell!
Hundreds of Wei army cavalry and war horse corpses all fell to the ground, raising a thick cloud of dust in front of tens of thousands of Wei army soldiers.
Everything happened too fast.
The infantry of the Wei army in the rear didn't know what was happening, but they saw that the cavalry they had been leaning on as a barrier and as a blade instantly disappeared in their eyes, leaving only a thick dust in their eyes.
This scene was extremely impactful, and at the same time it made many Wei soldiers feel fear in their hearts.
But before the fear could brew in the hearts of many Wei Jun, the sharp-eyed Wei Jun suddenly discovered that in the thick dust, there seemed to be thousands of meteors shooting towards them.
That's not a meteor, that's the iron arrow released by Zhuge Liannu in the second round.
Zhuge Liannu does not refer to being able to release ten iron arrows at the same time, it refers to being able to continuously shoot ten arrows in a very short period of time.
Because of the advanced nature of Zhuge Liannu, before most of the Wei army could react, the second round of thousands of iron arrows rushed towards their dense military formation.
Coupled with the narrow terrain in Yangping Pass, the Wei army's military formation was very dense when charging.
And this current situation undoubtedly allowed Zhuge Liannu to exert his greatest power invisibly.
When thousands of iron arrows fell from the sky and shot into the dense formation of tens of thousands of Wei troops, at least hundreds more Wei soldiers were killed directly by the Han army's iron arrow attack in an instant.
But before the Wei army could react and set up a shield wall for defense, Zhuge Liannu's third round of iron arrow attacks rushed into the Wei army's dense formation at extremely fast speeds.
This caused hundreds of Wei soldiers to scream again and fall straight to the ground with blood gushing out.
Just two rounds of iron arrow attacks took the lives of nearly a thousand of the Wei army when they were caught off guard.
Such a terrifying scene, without the need for screams, could instantly spread a sense of fear to the entire army.
Even Cao Zhen felt it, a chill spreading from his tailbone to his entire body at an extremely fast speed.
This kind of chill made Cao Zhen, who had never known what it was to be afraid of in the past, feel fear for the first time.
But after all, Cao Zhen had experienced hundreds of battles. Even though fear had almost taken over his entire psychology, he still retained a trace of clarity in the end and issued a stern command:
"Shield formation! Shield formation!"
When Cao Zhen's order spread, guards holding shields quickly came forward, trying to rush to the front of the formation to set up a shield formation to guard their comrades behind them.
But it is a pity that although Cao Zhen's orders were timely and the shield bearers in the Wei army were all brave men, the Wei army's formation was too dense.
This dense formation greatly delayed the shield bearer's actions.
Even the sudden advance of the shield bearer caused a huge commotion in the already unstable Wei army's formation.
With fear in their hearts, the Wei troops in the front row immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, and fled towards the surrounding mountain roads.
Once the Wei troops in the front row are dispersed, how can the Wei troops in the back row be willing to act as living targets?
As a result, as iron arrows continued to rain down from the mountain, the formation of the remaining thousands of Wei troops completely collapsed.
The circular formation composed of thousands of Wei troops was like a growing bubble at this moment. After reaching a certain critical point, it suddenly exploded in Mi Yang's eyes.
Extremely gorgeous!
A hundred horses will fall with one shot, and ten thousand men will be driven away with another shot!
This ancient poem best describes the current battlefield situation.
After seeing this scene, Mi Yang couldn't help but laugh heartily in the forest.
The most taboo thing for infantry is to be in a loose formation. An infantry in a loose formation, no matter how many in number, is just a lamb to be slaughtered!
After noticing that the Wei army's formation was scattered, Mi Yang ordered to stop Zhuge Liannu's firing.
Judging from the performance of Zhuge Liannu just now, its power is exactly the same as recorded in historical books.
But unfortunately, with the current level of technological development, if a weapon is too powerful, its accuracy will inevitably not be very good.
This can also be seen from the shooting just now.
The shooting range and power of the Zhuge Liannu are definitely among the best in the world, but of the thousands of arrows it shoots in each round, only a few hundred can hit the enemy, and this is when the enemies are densely gathered.
At present, the Wei army's formation has been scattered, which allows Mi Yang to find a good opportunity to defeat the Wei army. At the same time, the effectiveness of Zhuge Liannu is greatly reduced invisibly.
Besides, the multiple rounds of shooting had already almost consumed Zhuge Liannu's iron arrows.
When those specially customized iron arrows were exhausted, Zhuge Liannu was no longer able to exert its power in the following battle.
This makes Mi Yang a little regretful, but this is actually normal.
If it weren't for the shortcomings of Zhuge Liannu, Zhuge Liang would have pushed all the way to Chang'an with this powerful weapon in history.
The Zhuge Liannu without any shortcomings is not called a crossbow, it can be called a machine gun!
Although there was regret in his heart, Mi Yang was already very satisfied when he looked at the scene of "the dead piled up in layers and scattered by the enemies" of the Wei army below.
Next it’s time for Liangzhou Huben to appear.
After the passionate drumbeats unique to the Han army sounded, in the eyes of thousands of Wei soldiers, a scene suddenly appeared that shocked them.
I saw countless Han troops appearing in the mountains and forests. Under the leadership of a veteran general, they were rushing toward them at extremely fast speeds.
In addition, under the guidance of the sound of drums, groups of neatly arranged Han troops suddenly ran out from the direction of Yuguan.
The Han army's phalanx formed a human wall and was steadily advancing towards the thousands of Wei troops.
Looking at the numerous Han troops rushing down from the mountains and forests, faintly cutting off their retreat, and looking at the Han army formations advancing like a wall of swords in front of them, Cao Zhen understood everything at this moment.
The total number of Han troops on both sides was several thousand.
If Mi Yang really led his army to ambush Cao Hong today, how could he have arranged so many troops and horses in advance?
Everything is fake!
What Mi Yang wanted to hunt from the beginning was not Cao Hong’s oriole, but his own goshawk!
What made Cao Zhen even more desperate was that rockets were shot out from the direction of the Han army. After the rockets fell to the ground, they instantly caused huge fires.
The place where the fire mainly spread was his retreat.
The army surrounded him and his way back was blocked. Was he really going to die here today?
Cao Zhen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
