Chapter 548: The trump card at the end of the game
Zhang Fei was dumbfounded. He had been fighting for so many years and had suffered terrible defeats and was defeated without any troops left... But today, he felt the fear of war from the huge crossbow bolts that suddenly flew towards him.
Turning back slightly, he saw his own cavalry being knocked off their feet by an extremely thick steel-tipped crossbow arrow.
The key is if this is really just a bed crossbow. In Zhang Fei's eyes, he clearly saw that the opponent's bed crossbow was controlled by only one person. From twisting the bow string to loading the crossbow arrows, it took ten breaths in total from beginning to end.
Arrival time.
After taking a closer look, Zhang Fei realized that the other party was not the bed crossbow in his impression or perception at all.
These bed crossbows are fixed on small highlands one after another, as if they have taken root in the earth, and the backs of these bed crossbows are also linked by various thin and long connecting rods. Whenever a bed crossbow rotates, many other bed crossbows will
The bed crossbow will also rotate accordingly.
Similarly, every time one person reloads, the other bed crossbows will also be linked by this powerful force... Under such circumstances, everyone's strength seems to be exerted to the extreme.
Under the volleys of these crossbows, the treasure-like heavy cavalry led by Zhang Fei could only sustain two rounds of volleys, and there were no bones left...
The lone war horse swung its tail on the battlefield, followed by another arrow. The horrifying power of the crossbow shot the war horse directly in pieces, and countless stumps were scattered. No one could remain calm in such a situation.
However...this is not the end.
Because the momentum was so strong, Zhang Fei still didn't realize how powerful the "big pit" he mentioned was.
And Yi Xiaotian, who was on top of the tower, explained to the people around him in a rather calm tone:
"That tunnel, called a trench, is being used by me to trap and kill cavalry. In fact, if I had been given some more time, these trenches could have been filled with fully armed soldiers and horses—"
"I originally designed this trench to be used as a cover for the crossbowmen. However, according to past combat experience, the enemy only needs to shoot upward to cause damage to our soldiers in the trench..."
"But today I used it to block the cavalry, but it also had a miraculous effect..."
Yi Xiaotian shrugged... Everyone could only look at each other and watch Yi Xiaotian's performance.
Perhaps the trenches were not clear enough from the front, but Cao Cao and others were on top of the city tower at the moment, and the dazzling trenches with seven vertical and seven horizontal lines below the city were really shocking.
I saw the Qingqi led by Zhang Fei following up. After discovering the trench, they wanted to jump up and walk out of the tunnel. However, they did not expect Cao Jun, who had been hiding in the trench, to watch with eager eyes. If any cavalry fell,
Entering the trench - the horse fell down and was unable to move, and the cavalry was naturally thrown into the pit.
They were like lambs left to be slaughtered, being trapped and killed in the trench by Cao's army with great ease.
Yi Xiaotian was quite satisfied with the performance of this trench, and it was not in vain that he had been working with two thousand soldiers and horses for so long.
In fact, Yi Xiaotian was inspired by the maze set up by Huang Yueying in the Huang Mansion, and came up with such an idea as soon as he patted his head.
The use of trenches in the true sense can only be traced back to two years ago. After the arrival of the real era of hot weapons, the concept of trenches was widely accepted...
When Yi Xiaotian uses it now, it really feels like a dimensionality-reducing blow to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's cavalry.
But this is not over yet...
"Brother Yi...this trench is so magical...but...but..."
Cao Cao's facial features were wrinkled tightly together, mainly because he was too confused. This trench had already had such a miraculous effect, but he clearly saw——
"Where is the second half of the army led by Le Jin... and what are those dirt bags used for?"
Yi Xiaotian had long told Cao Cao that his trump card was the Chaiyue Liannu, but up to now he has not seen the shadow of the Chaiyue Liannu. It is really hard not to make Cao Cao confused.
Hearing Ye Ye's doubts, Yi Xiaotian smiled and also said to everyone:
"Don't worry, you will see it soon..."
——
Just as Yi Xiaotian said, the generals on the city tower soon saw what the "earth bag" Cao Cao mentioned was.
"Wide be careful!"
Zhao Yun rushed over, because when he saw Zhang Fei was injured, Zhao Yun was more anxious than anyone else. Liu Bei only had so many people under his command now. If Zhang Fei failed in such a battle, wouldn't Liu Bei die crying in the army?
A crossbow bolt hit Zhang Fei directly in the face, but Zhang Fei was in a trance and didn't seem to feel anything.
The spear was like a dragon. Zhao Yun used all his strength and shot directly in mid-air, breaking the arrow shaft of the bed crossbow, causing the arrow to deflect and fly out, grazing Zhang Fei's cheek.
Suddenly an arrow flew in front of Zhang Fei's eyes. Naturally, he was frightened and he suddenly woke up.
He was pulled off his horse by Zhao Yun and jumped into the trench in an instant.
It happened that here, Zhao Yun had no choice but to hide in the trench in order to rescue Zhang Fei. Although soon, countless county soldiers poured out in front of him. They stared eagerly and aimed their spears at Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. It seemed that they must
They will fight to the death, but this situation is better than what the cavalry behind them will encounter next...
——
The 20,000 light cavalry actually did not suffer much loss after the first round of crossbow volleys.
Because most of the light cavalry were under the command of Zhao Yun, they had slowed down long before the curtain fell. The responsibility for the tragic death of the heavy cavalry naturally lies with Zhang Fei.
Seeing that the crossbow seemed to have lost its power, the breath that had been held in the hearts of everyone finally found its outlet. They howled and rushed towards the other end of the trench... The corpses were piled up in the trench, which also gave many cavalry a place to stay.
.
Not afraid of being tripped, and naturally not afraid of being attacked by the people below them, the cavalry seemed to quickly regain their combat effectiveness.
However, at this moment, Le Jin raised his sword high, and then dropped it heavily...
In an instant, locust-like crossbow arrows fell from the sky, and pear blossoms poured down on the advancing cavalry like a torrential rain.
"This is!"
It was okay for Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei not to raise their heads, but when they did, they saw the most despairing scene in their lives...
One thousand and five hundred Moon-Chasing Repeating Crossbows finally began to display their true power.
Each crossbow has ten arrows, one shot per breath, and such a huge amount of arrows hit the ground without any deviation... No living place can withstand such a volley.
This is not over yet... There are always some cavalrymen holding shields and fighting from one end of the trench to the other. However, the end result of such an action is that they saw the death guard at the "bottom of the pass" at the end.
Thirty bunkers made of mud, after Le Jin gave an order, started the most powerful firepower in this battle.
Under cross fire, the light cavalry brought by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei fell in droves, without any chance to breathe...
It was only half a stick of incense time, and the piled corpses of horses and cavalry above the trench area had already turned into a hill.
