Following Yu Qiujin's order, thousands of long arrows were quickly fired from the fully drawn bow strings, ruthlessly shooting at the archers who were scattered in chaos.
It was opened to the archers of the Jin Army, and this time the shooting was not covered by arrows like the last time. At a distance of less than a hundred steps, the archers of the Jin Army could kill these fleeing enemies just like they usually practiced archery.
The army treats it as a target. If you spot one, you aim well, and then shoot an arrow. The result will be that it will fall down, and then quickly draw out the next arrow to find another target.
With just two or three rounds of shooting, more than a thousand corpses fell down within a hundred steps of the formation. The attack channel that had been cleared after finally dragging the corpses for a long time suddenly became littered with corpses and collapsed.
The archers bumped into the axemen who were following behind, carrying broadswords and sharp axes, and were preparing to charge into the battle. Then they mixed together and fled backwards desperately. Just now, they were rushing towards the car like a tide.
The Yan army on the defensive line was retreating at a faster speed like an ebbing tide.
Yuan Zun was stunned and speechless for a long time. Yuan Miao sighed: "We have all been fooled by the Jin army. It seems that they did not collapse at all. They even hid dozens of steps behind the cart, instead of
In the front line of the vehicle formation, our arrows did not kill any of their soldiers, but when we really wanted to move forward, they launched a counterattack. People can create suspicious formations and even use straw men, but these arrows cannot come at all.
Fake, their strength is at least more than 10,000, and they haven’t even used the eight-oxen crossbow yet."
Yuan Zun gritted his teeth: "If you go forward again, you will die. We tried our best. We sent an order for the archers to regroup and then shoot at the Jin army!"
Yuan Miao frowned: "I'm afraid they will retreat a few dozen steps behind the formation. We can't hurt them by shooting arrows, unless a large number of infantry steps forward and archers cover and fire."
Yuan Zun curled up his lips: "Have you not seen the equipment of the Jin army? Even the archers are shooting with iron armor, and with the cover of the chariot formation, even if we let go, it is impossible for us to break through this line of defense.
If we charge intensively across the entire line, I'm afraid the Eight Ox Crossbows will be used, and more people will die, which is meaningless. As long as we show off here and show that we are trying our best, even after the war
Judging from the assessment, the Imperial Guards can't do anything to us, huh, ours here is just a feint attack to contain his troops, it's quite interesting to do this."
Yuan Miao frowned: "But, the Helan Department and the Pu Gu Department are still watching from behind. What if they make a report afterwards and say bad things about us?"
Yuan Zun gritted his teeth: "If they want to charge, they can charge on their own. We can use our bows and arrows to cover them. So many of them died before, but this does not mean that we must also die more. Besides, with the current posture, I am afraid that
The Jin army's central commander's station did not collapse. It may even be ablaze. This is also the suspicious formation Liu Yu announced. If the national army wants to attack, I am afraid that he will be trapped in it. After this battle is over, can you punish us again?
, I still have to put a question mark."
Yuan Miao's expression changed, she looked around and said in a deep voice: "You all should step aside first."
The more than twenty personal guards and messengers around them all saluted and left. Within a radius of fifty steps, only the two brothers were left. Yuan Miao whispered: "Brother, don't you dare say this nonsense. If you give it to the Imperial Guard,
I heard it, I'm afraid we..."
Yuan Zun sneered and said: "My brother, I think we have to make a good calculation for ourselves. We are Han generals, and the subordinates we lead are all Han troops. We have always been looked down upon by those Xianbei people. The reason why we serve the Murong clan is,
It was just because Murong De took us father and son in and was kind to us. But Murong Chao was not his uncle. He was impulsive and careless, favored treacherous ministers, and handed over all military and state affairs to this guy with unknown origins in black robe. Now
He provoked Liu Yu to come to the Northern Expedition, but he wanted us to bleed and die. It would be better if the black robes won this battle, but if they lost..."
Yuan Miao's expression changed: "If we lose, Dayan will be in danger of losing its country."
Yuan Zun nodded: "This Dayan belongs to his Murong family, not our Yuan family. When it comes to repaying gratitude, I have already repaid my gratitude when I fought for the late emperor in the south and north. This is the trouble caused by Murong Chao and Heipao.
, it’s their business, there’s no need for us to get involved, we’ve tried our best in this battle, if we still can’t win, do we have to be buried with Murong Chao and Hei Pao?”
Yuan Miao gritted her teeth: "But, but even so, how can we have the strength to fight against the Xianbei soldiers and horses? The people who have betrayed Murong Chao in the past year..."
Yuan Zun turned his head and glanced behind him. On the hillock, Helan Lu and Pugu Wu were also whispering, and said: "Actually, whether it is us Han people, or the Helan tribe, Pugu tribe and other Xianbei tribes with other surnames, there are
My own plan, Murong's ability to order us is nothing more than strong soldiers and horses. We can only surrender. But if this shirt is defeated, even if he can escape, the troops of Murong's headquarters will suffer heavy losses, and there will be no possibility of strength by then.
He would find excuses to root them out, destroy them, and then annex their troops to make up for his own operations. Just like Gongsun Gui, after he died, wouldn't the assault riders under him be naturally integrated into the Forbidden Army by the black robe? So,
Whether we can survive or not will not depend on our performance in this battle, but on our strength after the war!"
Yuan Miao's eyes lit up: "You mean, the more than 40,000 troops we have on hand?"
Yuan Zun nodded and whispered: "Most of these more than 40,000 soldiers and horses are civilians from various places who were temporarily recruited. If the battle is lost, I am afraid that most of them will break up and run away and will not follow us back to Guanggu. We
What can be gathered is the five thousand pro-army troops under my personal control. Their family members are in Guanggu just like ours. When the time comes, we can return to Guanggu first, then secretly let the family members escape from Guanggu, and then use an excuse to prepare for the invasion.
Murong Chao went to various places to recruit King Qin's troops and escaped. Then, depending on the situation, if Murong Chao can defend until Liu Yu retreats, we will continue to serve him. If Liu Yu can destroy him, we will turn to the Jin army.
If you surrender, you can still keep your wealth and honor."
Yuan Miao gritted his teeth: "Could it be that our army is destined to lose this battle?"
Yuan Zun sighed: "I think the chance is slim. If the Jin army fights like this without moving the troops on the left wing, it means that the assault on the center has failed, and even the armored cavalry in the rear army cannot break through.
Success, brother, we really need to plan the future for ourselves."
