The rear camp was attacked!

When these four words came into Xu Xuanche's ears, he was really shocked. After asking about the number of enemies coming, Xu Xuanche's face relaxed a little. There were only less than 10,000 cavalry. Although it was a strong force for use as a raid, fortunately he had already transferred all the heavy armored infantry back in advance. With nearly 10,000 heavy armors, and with archers and light armored spearmen, the cavalry coming to the raid could not have taken advantage of it.

The two most important words for the light cavalry raid are: one is light and the other is shock.

With heavy armored infantry blocking the road, the advantage of the word "light cavalry" cannot be used. With archers and spearmen, it is difficult for the cavalry of the Qin King Army to break through the defense of the baggage battalion. However, Xu Xuanche still did not dare to be careless and transferred another 10,000 cavalry to rush to the rear team to support it.

Zheng Wenxiu personally led a battalion of more than 10,000 cavalry to kill him. As long as the rear team is not in chaos, the Liang army will still take the absolute initiative in this battle today.

"Sun Ying looked at it!"

Xu Xuanche shouted: "An archer presses forward and marches the arrow!"

The distance between the Liang army and the Qin King Army was only 200 steps away, and there were tens of thousands of archers arranged at the front of the Liang army! More than 10,000 archers marched in a row, arching while pushing forward. This kind of fighting style can be said to be bullying people with power! The Qin King Army was very poor, and the soldiers did not even have enough protective gear! You should know that Li Shimin started from scratch. Most of his troops were strong men who were forced to be captured in Yongqing and other counties. Where did he have so many leather armored equipment?

But the Liang army is different. Compared with the Qin Wang army, their equipment is excellent enough!

The weapons of the Liang army's archers are not the bamboo bows in the hands of those Green Forest Bandit soldiers, but real hard bows. If you don't care about lethality, a hard bow of one and a half stone can send the feather arrows two hundred steps away. If you calculate lethality, you can kill the enemy within 120 steps.

A whole camp of archers with tens of thousands of people hit the arrows. If you don’t see this scene in person, you can’t describe the shock. The density of feather arrows is shocking, and they even hit each other in the air. Many feather arrows fell in the air before they could hit the Qin King’s army camp. Looking up, they were so dark that they could cover half of the sky.

Xu Xuanche has experienced many battles, but he no longer waited but ordered an attack on the voluntary attack because of the raid of the Qin King Army by the rear team. The tactics of the Qin King Army were already obvious. The rear team raided, the front team attacked fiercely, and attacked on both sides... Since he had seen it thoroughly, how could he give the Qin King Army a chance?

So he ordered to take the initiative to push forward and force the Qin Wangjun to return!

The scene of thousands of arrows being fired at once was too shocking. During the first round of volleys, the Liang army archers were still two hundred steps away from the Qin King's Army. The feather arrows were shot out and smashed down from the air like heavy rain. In an instant, the Qin King's Army array was covered with white feathers, and it seemed that a layer of knee-high weed suddenly emerged from the ground, neatly white.

When the second round of feather arrows were shot, the Qin King's Army's array was already within the lethal force range. The feather arrows fell like heavy rain, covering densely on the head of the Qin King's Army's array.

The crackling sounds were connected, and the soldiers of the Qin King Army holding simple shields experienced a baptism of death. The ones at the front were the worst-equipped people, and the second round of volleys caused at least more than a thousand casualties. The ones well-equipped from the back were the tens of thousands of people under Han Shi'e's command. They were wearing the standard leather armor of the Tang army, and the infantry shields in their hands were also hard enough, so the lethality of the feather arrows became lowered when they reached the back team.

Tens of thousands of infantry raised their shields, and the shields formed an ocean, and the shields were connected together. The soldiers hid under the shields, and the feathered arrows poured down on their heads. The sound of slapping sounded above their heads, and no one would doubt it. As long as someone let go, they would be shot into a hedgehog immediately!

Soon, the shield formation was covered with a layer of white feathers.

Most of the soldiers without protective gear were shot to the ground, and a small number of them wailed and retreated but were killed by their own supervisors behind them with crossbows. They were destined to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and both forward and retreat were dead ends. The blow caused by such dense feather arrows was not only a killing of soldiers, but also a psychological shock to the soldiers.

After the three-wheeled feather arrows, the Qin King Army lost more than 2,000 troops. However, the attack on morale cannot be reflected in this number.

"Do you want to die?"

In the short-term safe world after the third round of feather arrows, Yuchi Gong suddenly jumped onto the back and asked loudly: "Do you want to die?"

The loud sound actually exceeded the surging war drums opposite.

The scene was silent and the soldiers looked at each other.

"I don't want to die. If you blow the horns for a while, you will follow me and rush forward! Liang's army presses forward with arrow formation. As long as we keep our backs, Liang's army's arrow formation will be forward for up to thirty steps and dare not walk again. Taking advantage of the moment when they change the formation, I will fight forward desperately! Our chances of winning are at that moment. If you don't want to die, I will prick up my ears and listen to the order!"

Yuchi Gong looked at the dark military formation opposite, with a firm face.

For the first time, he decided to violate Li Shimin's order.

These soldiers are Han Shi'e's confidant team, but this is not their damn reason!

It is better to kill a way out than to die in a cowardly manner.

...

...

The Liang army's arrow formation was pressed within a hundred steps, which was the best attack distance, but they did not dare to push forward any further. The spearmen behind them needed to fill up the formation, and changing the formation required the world. They had to use distance to ensure this time. If the distance was too close, the Qin King Army could disrupt the formation of Liang's army with a counterattack.

Within a hundred steps, the Liang army archers began to stop slowly. They were going to carry out the last round of cover-type strikes, and then the light armored infantrymen such as the raiders and Park Daozhe would launch a squad attack.

However, what everyone on the Liang army did not expect was that just as the last volley of Liang army archers began, a whimpering horn sound suddenly came from the array of Qin Wangjun opposite, like an eagle and falcon crying at night, and its fierceness hit the hearts of the people.

Yuchi Gong himself did not expect that his two short sentences would spread throughout the military formation of tens of thousands of people in the shortest time. The soldiers passed the words they heard to the robes around him. It didn't take long for tens of thousands of Han Shi'e's confidants to know the military order of Yuchi Gong. They also knew that their destiny would change at this moment, and success or otherwise depended on themselves.

What Yuchi Gong also didn't expect was that his two short sentences actually aroused the Qin King soldiers' survival so much.

Because they are Han Shi'e's confidants, they themselves know that they may become victims on the battlefield. Now, Yuchi Gong did not give up on them, but planned to take them out of a bloody way. For soldiers, this is the most important thing to do. Even if they die, they will die as much as possible.

They were once proud soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and had to embark on the road of defection. Now, at the junction of life and death, they have picked up their pride again.

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of Qin King soldiers roared neatly, shaking the mountains and rivers!

Against the rain of arrows, tens of thousands of Qin King soldiers rushed forward like crazy. Covered by the dense feather arrows like rain, the soldiers rushing in front were torn off layer by layer, but the soldiers behind quickly filled up, and the soldiers who fell in front became stepping stones for the robes behind, and soon turned into meat paste.

The soldiers' killing lasted for a long time, completely suppressing the sound of dozens of war drums on Liang's army.

There are too many people who are thrown by feather arrows, so many that if someone stops to take a look, they will be shocked and unable to move. But Yuchi Gong has no other way. If he wants to save a group of people, he can only lead them forward instead of retreating. If the army retreats, there is no doubt that the Liang army's arrow formation will chase and kill people all the way. If it cannot reach the city of Xiangyang, these tens of thousands of people may be killed by the Liang army's archers and cavalry!

Go forward, only go forward!

Yuchi Gong kept rushing in front. The tens of thousands of people under his command had no cavalry, all of them were infantry. Most of the cavalry were in the ambush team east of Xiangyang City, and a small half were in the hands of Si Shisan. Yuchi Gong even believed that at this time, most of the 6,000 cavalry led by Si Shisan had probably lost most of them.

There were no cavalry, so Yuchi Gong also gave up his war horse.

Two personal soldiers rushed to him with shields, one left and one right, and some were constantly shot over by feather arrows, and some were constantly filling up, and they continued to use shields to block the arrows for him. There were two personal soldiers around him!

He stepped on the feathered arrows all over the ground and strode forward.

When he saw the Qin King's army rushing towards him against the rain of arrows, Liang's Marshal Xu Xuanche immediately opened his eyes wide!

How is this possible?

This is a completely contrary to the art of war! How can the less powerful party launch an attack at the risk of firing thousands of arrows? This is like killing death. Even the rookie general who has just led the army will not make such a decision!

But that's how Qin Wangjun did it!

Xu Xuanche had no way to understand the mentality of the Qin King soldiers, and did not understand their eagerness to survive on the road to death.

"kill!"

When he rushed to the Liang army formation that had not had time to change the formation, Yuchi Gong roared!

...

...

Blood waves roll

This battlefield is like a huge meat grinder, constantly reaping human life.

The Liang army archers who had no time to retreat were still enjoying the pleasure of killing a few minutes ago, but after a few minutes, they began to suffer the pain of being slaughtered. This transformation was too abrupt and bloody. They were thinly dressed and had no weapons to resist, but how could they block the tens of thousands of Qin King soldiers with red eyes?

There were 10,000 archers, but there were not even 30% of them.

Most of the people were slaughtered by the Qin King's Army when they retreated, and the subsequent Liang Jun's Pu Daozhe and Spearmen were disrupted by the archers, and the scene suddenly became chaotic!

Yuchi Gong was like a wounded tiger, biting the enemy's flesh and blood bit by bit. The long spear flew around the crowd like a poisonous dragon, and each time he waved it, it took at least one life away.

The archers used their bodies to make the city walls and did not stop the attack of the Qin Wang Army. The Qin Wang Army, which was divided into several routes, pierced into the Liang Army's array like several sharp knives. The torn holes became bigger and bigger, and the blood waves were rolling in the place where the two armies were in contact. In just half an hour, the corpse that fell to the ground made the original color impossible to see the earth.

Yuchi Gong, who drove the archers, continued to attack fiercely with his men. Even he himself didn't understand why he made such a choice today. But since he had made a choice, there was no way to look back. How could there be so many opportunities to look back on the battlefield?

Just after returning to the ambushed troops of the Qin King Army twenty miles away, Li Shimin received a report from the scout. When he heard Yuchi Gong attacking with his men, Li Shimin's face changed. After a while, Li Shimin breathed a long sigh and ordered loudly: "Blow the horns! Attack!"
