Chapter 226 Li Jiancheng who was taught to be ruined

"General Chen will never use state affairs as a joke!" Just as Li Jiancheng was about to pick up his pen to write a letter to Chen Ying, Wei Zheng bowed and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? Princess Pingyang is in General Chen's army, with Princess Pingyang here, General Chen will never refuse to save him!"

Li Jiancheng nodded. At this moment, Wei Zheng found that there was no wind in the teacup in front of Li Jiancheng. Almost at the same time, Xue Wanche came to report: "Your Highness, Dou Jiande sent more than 20,000 vanguards to come to the front, and it seems that he is preparing to attack!"

"It's just right!" Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Dou Jiande finally couldn't help it! He passed the order of the isolated army and everyone took his place!"

Just as Dou Jiande's army was slowly advancing, the Tang soldiers under Li Jiancheng had already followed the orders, with spear soldiers in front, archers in the second place, and behind the large chariots arranged in the stairs. Especially in the gaps in the shields on the chariot, long spears formed a steel jungle.

The sharp spears, the sharp blades were shining with azure blue light, making people feel chilling. The ends of these long spears made of steel were inserted into the ground diagonally, with the tip of the spear facing the sky, waiting for them to hit themselves! The calmness of the Tang army soldiers was much beyond Dou Jiande's expectations. According to common sense, seeing so many troops approaching, the Tang army infantry should be in panic, so why are they still standing there and motionless?

Dou Jiande frowned and ordered: "Before approaching an arrow, the archer raises his finger and shoots it!"

The only result of rushing over is being worn into skewers! Of course, the military art created by the Chinese nation is not just about rushing.

The archers of the Zheng army soldiers slowly stepped forward. When they were three hundred steps away from the Tang army's chariot formation, there was no movement in the Tang army's chariot formation.

These Xia soldiers stepped forward with anxiety and entered a distance of 200 steps, but the Tang soldiers still did not move.

In this way, the Tang army soldiers seemed to be like puppets, waiting motionlessly for the Zheng army soldiers to slowly enter the land of an arrow. At this time, the Xia army soldiers roared neatly and rolled the arrow at the same time.

Dou Jiande was very surprised that there were no archers in Li Jiancheng's army, which was good news for their Xia army. He could already foresee the tragic situation of the Tang army soldiers falling in groups under the continuous rain of arrows!

In fact, Dou Jiande was wrong. Of course, Li Jiancheng had archers, and there were a lot of them, with about 3,000 people. However, because he had consumed too many arrows in the defense battle in Jinzhou City before, the bows and arrows in Li Jiancheng's hands are less than ten arrows per person, so he did not order the arrows to fire at all.

"Swish swish swish swish swish..."

If the Xia army archers did not leave, they would have fired more than 7,000 archers into the Tang army's formation, like a storm. Seeing the Xia army's arrow rain flying in densely like locusts passing by, the Tang army soldiers were calm and shrank, and they crawled under the chariot.

The Tang army's outer defense line was all ordinary two-wheeled trucks, with thick green reeds on it. The newly cut reeds were piled on the truck and were almost on the shield, as if a roof cover was added to the truck.

Li Jiancheng remembered that Chen Ying was chatting with the soldiers and once told the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing arrows on a straw boat. At that time, Li Jiancheng joked that Chen Ying was not ignorant. There was no story of borrowing arrows on a straw boat in history. Some of them were just that when Sun Quan was reconnaissing Cao's camp, the black-sailed boat he was riding was shot and tilted by Cao's army. Sun Quan asked someone to transfer the boat to the other side to welcome the rain of arrows. In this way, the black-sailed boat slowly restored its balance, and Sun Quan left safely.

Li Jiancheng does not have too many arrows now, and a very important part of this moon formation is to use archers to suppress the enemy from approaching, but there are less than 30,000 arrows, which sounds like a lot. Once the two armies shoot at the same time, a single pillar of incense can be shot in the air. In desperation, Li Jiancheng had to take this method. He decided that Dou Jiande was cautious in using troops and would definitely not attack with all his strength, but would only attack tentatively.

However, although arrows can be recycled, once the arrow hits the shield or armor, it will definitely be distorted and deformation, which will affect the use of secondary shooting. Li Jiancheng looked at the reeds that had just grown on the Fen River River and was overjoyed. Cutting off the dense reeds can not only clear the horizon, but also use the buffering effect of the reeds to reduce the loss of the arrows.

The Rain of Arrows fired as many as six consecutive rounds, with more than 7,000 Xia army archers firing at least more than 40,000 arrows. However, Dou Jiande did not hear the screams from the Tang army formation, and gradually felt something was wrong.

"Stop shooting!"

But it was too late. Just as Dou Jiande hesitated, another round of shooting was launched. Arrows cost money. One arrow is not expensive, about fifteen to twenty cents. If it is a heavy armor-breaking arrow, it is even more expensive. For only seven rounds of shooting, nearly 50,000 arrowheads, about eight or nine hundred thousand, which is about seven hundred cents. If it is converted into the price of grain in Hebei, about twenty or thirty cents of grain will be shot into the Tang army camp.

But after so much money was launched, but it did not cause any casualties to the Tang army soldiers, Dou Jiande felt bad.

What made Dou Jiande the most depressed was that the Tang army soldiers quickly went out at this time and took down the arrows inserted in the reeds. Then thousands of people shouted at Dou Jiande in an orderly manner: "Thank you, Lord Xia, for your generosity..."

When Dou Jiande heard this, his face turned green in an instant.

Seeing that he had harvested 50,000 arrows, Li Jiancheng said with unsatisfactory words: "What a pity, I only got more than 50,000 arrows, but it still won't take long!"

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's method is absolutely amazing. The most important thing is that Dou Jiande may not dare to shoot arrows in the future!"

Li Jiancheng laughed: "Thanks to General Chen's story of borrowing arrows on a straw boat, otherwise, I would have thought that I could borrow arrows!"

Dou Jiande's psychological quality was better than he thought. He was not so angry that he vomited blood, but he was also very angry.

"attack……"

The command of these two words almost burst out from Dou Jiande's teeth. It is conceivable how strong Dou Jiande's anger was at this time.

The Xia army soldiers were the first to the eldest, with the eldest soldiers in front, with the archers ranked second and slowly advancing.

Wherever I entered the Tang army's chariot formation more than fifty steps, I was still as quiet as if I was dead in the Tang army camp.

When the Xia army's spearman was more than ten steps in front of the Tang army's chariot formation, the Tang army soldiers finally reacted.

"Dongdong..."

The thick sound of war drums suddenly exploded, which made the Xia soldiers who were advancing. At this moment, the shield of the Tang army's chariot suddenly fell down, revealing dense archers, who were already ready to go.

"Swish swish swish swish swish..."

The distance was less than twenty steps. For archers, if they missed the target at such a distance, it would be better to pee and drown themselves. Before the sound of breaking through the air came to their ears, the commander of the Xia army saw a little cold light coming towards them.

The sound is naturally much faster than the arrow, but at close range, the eyes see it first and the ears hear it later.

At this time, it was too late for them to avoid it. Arrows roared, and blood flowers burst out on the chest, face and throat of the Xia army soldiers. At such a close distance, they almost lined up to kill them with pistols on their foreheads. The bodies of the Xia army commanders and soldiers were spasming like electric shock, spurting out blood fountains, screaming, and wailing down...

Almost everything was shot, and the Xia army soldiers never thought that the archers of the Tang army would actually shoot archery rains at a distance of more than ten steps. This wave of arrow rain could actually beat so fiercely and accurately!

Before the Xia army soldiers' archers launched a counterattack, the Tang army's bows and arrows immediately retreated. The shields on the chariot formation quickly rose, and sharp blades shining with azure blue and cold light formed the steel jungle.

If it weren't for Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng wouldn't have known that there was an army in the world called lobster soldiers. The so-called lobster soldiers were the classic tactics created by British army infantry in the era of pre-rifting rifles. British infantry lined up in neat rows, raising guns, fired, and loading bullets... and then charged! It was not because of heroism, but because the accuracy, rate of fire, and range of early rifles were too low. A large group of people like this "queuing up" to maximize the killing effect of the rifle. In the era of black gunpowder, the high hats and bright uniforms were conducive to quickly identifying the enemy and us in the battlefield environment filled with smoke.

The British lobster soldiers were the top players in the era of pre-installed rifles. They were disciplined and endured huge casualties under the enemy's rain of bullets. When the enemy entered twenty meters away, they were knocked down with one shot, but quickly defeated the enemy and gained an almost invincible reputation.

It is precisely because of the existence of Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world that His Highness Li Jiancheng, who was originally generous in history, was taught to be ruined.

Of course, Chen Ying did not have a musket. He just used the principle of queuing up muskets to kill. The power of the bows and arrows shot at close range may not be weaker than the original muskets. More than 3,000 arrows shot from close range knocked down nearly half of the Xia army's vanguard. Anyone who saw a meeting, more than 2,000 people fell down at the same time would feel like they were scattered.

In fact, the Xia army soldiers were in a panic in an instant. They had never encountered such a situation before. They never thought that the Tang army's archers would beat so fiercely and accurately! What made them most stunning was that although they used spears or spears as spears, they threw them into the Tang army archers formation and stabbed the archers one by one, the Tang army archers actually turned a blind eye to the comrades who were lying around, and just aimed indifferently at the arrows. After the spears, the Tang army soldiers who fell to the ground also gritted their teeth and said nothing. They were like fighting a group of lifeless and unconscious enemies!

Such enemies who ignore casualties and are not afraid of life can really not be aroused.

The Xia army's archers hurriedly shot the arrow rain at the Tang army's formation again in chaos, but the effect was too poor. The huge casualties of the Xia army soldiers shocked them to death.

However, at this moment, the shield on the Tang army's chariot fell down without warning, and the dense Tang army archers were ready to go.

Looking at this scene, the Xia army soldiers were almost distracted and turned around and ran away... This battle cannot be fought. They are all dead soldiers. They fight to the death, which is a long time.

The Xia army soldiers pushed each other and were in a mess. Without surprise, the Tang army's archers shot again and knocked down a large number of Xia army soldiers. At this time, the Xia army soldiers fled even harder and faster. They became angry at the same time, and their parents had fewer legs at first?

Seeing the Xia army commander fleeing with archers, the Tang army soldiers cheered loudly, Xue Wanche bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, let the general lead the cavalry camp up and kill them without leaving any armor!"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled: "No need..."

It is indeed no longer necessary. Although the Xia army's cavalry was a little less. However, it was not clear. God knew whether Dou Jiande had a backup plan. For Dou Jiande, who had an army of tens of thousands, he could afford to lose five or six thousand soldiers. And more than two thousand cavalry were Li Jiancheng's last cavalry, so he could not afford to lose.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Xia army no longer has the intention of fighting and began to retreat as a whole.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince for winning the victory!"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning!"

...

After several battles over the past few days, Wang Shichong seemed to be crazy and smashed the red-burning stones at the Tang Army camp in Cijian. At this time, the Tang Army camp suffered heavy casualties and had to be forced to give up the first outer camp. At this time, Li Shimin had lost the strength to break through and could only survive in the camp, waiting for the last moment to arrive.

Li Shimin, who had a sloppy beard, lost the charm of the past in his eyes, and the strong smell of smell of blood floated in the air, and crows and birds croaked and crowed on the branches. More than a dozen wild dogs who ran out from somewhere, sneaked onto the battlefield like wolves, sniffed their noses and wanted to find fresh human flesh to eat. The eyes of the dogs were also red, as if they had eaten too much human flesh.

Li Shimin looked at the dense clouds like fish scales covering the sky, and it would rain hard at any time. I was afraid there would be no good weather at night, and said, "Tonight, Wang Shichong is afraid he won't attack!"

"It's not the rainy season yet. Even if it rains, it won't be too heavy. I'm afraid it will stop the night before!" Changsun Shunde stroked his beard and said, "Maybe he can try stealing the camp. Be prepared here. When the rain stops, he will immediately touch it."

Soon, the wind was blowing, and the branches fell and grass broke. Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was going to rain. Rain meant that the means Wang Shichong relied on had lost its effectiveness. Li Shimin wanted to cry immediately at this moment, and finally no longer had to endure the blow of the overwhelming fire meteor.

After a long time, Li Shimin came to his senses: "What did General Changsun say? Night attack?"

Changsun Shunde nodded and said, "Your Highness, you see, Wang Shichong's courage has become increasingly stronger these days. Their camps are very simple, neither digging trenches nor setting up horse-rejecting horses. The camps are still very simple, and campfires are all set up in open places. As long as heavy rain pours down, campfires may be extinguished. The most important thing is that they need to burn red stone bombs, so as long as the rain stops, the soldiers will definitely be driven out of the camp and look for firewood..."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and the heavy rain stopped. It was a good time for Zheng army soldiers to look for firewood everywhere to light campfires. However, Wang Shichong was also a soldier. Although there were almost no decent camps and stone-popping troops in the front, there were camp bars four or five hundred steps apart, and soil was piled up as a base. The main force gathered in front and stationed in separate camps. I thought I would be prepared for night attacks and stealing camps.

Qin Qiong said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, the last general, go, give me two thousand soldiers. If the last general can successfully break through the front camp of the Zheng army, you will lead the army to attack and expand the results of the battle. If... this is a trap, you will withdraw your troops and return to the camp and guard the camp!"

Li Shimin was moved, but he said, "General Qin, how can this be done!"

Qin Qiong said: "Old Cheng was injured and his body has not recovered yet. No one is better than me except me."
