Since ancient times, no one can achieve success by relying on tricks by using weak defeated the strong. Tian Shan was in Jimo, Guangwu was in Kunyang, even Cao Gong was in Guandu, and Zhou Lang was in Chibi. The prerequisite for his victory was that he had few and elite troops.

First of all, dare to fight against the enemy with weak forces and entangle with the enemy. On this basis, we will fight steadily, not waver by the temporary situation, and always maintain endurance and patience. When the fighter jets come, we must take action suddenly and issue a thunderous blow.

Sun Tzu said: Those who are good at guarding hide under the nine earths, and those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, so they can protect themselves and win completely. This is what they say.

In the past half an hour, Cao's army has used five cavalry teams in a row to drive the route to less than 70 steps from the Yulin Camp. This is of course a deliberate test. For the Han army, since they have enough money, how can they not eat the fat meat they send to their mouths?

Just as the enemy cavalry swept past the formation again, the drum beats suddenly accelerated again, and the shield, which was originally held high like a long steel wall, suddenly separated.

Jiang Wei took the bow and took the arrow, stood up suddenly, shouting: "Go!"

Accompanied by the shout, a silver light shook his hand and flew out.

The general of the Cao army cavalry was rushing to the front of Jiang Wei. Although his soldiers were all in front of him, he could only act as a lonely target of living. The arrow instantly crossed the crowd and hit his neck.

When Jiang Wei was in the Western Regions, he fought with wolves, so now he has developed a habit of using specially selected strong bows and arrows to increase the lengthening, and the arrows are wide and thick, and the big beast hunting arrows are wide and thick. Because the enemy cavalry are light cavalry, the knights are mostly wearing leather armor and do not have a stern neck. So Jiang Wei's arrow instantly cuts down the muscles and blood vessels on one side of the neck like an extremely sharp shovel, and then chisels into the neck bones. The subsequent impulse deflects the arrow, driving the sharp blade and cutting off the trachea and tendons on the front of the neck.

The enemy's body did not move, and his hands were still controlling the reins, but his entire head was folded back. The blood in his body sprayed from his neck like a fountain, instantly forming a blood rain all over the sky.

Before the blood rain fell, the arrow rain arrived.

Taking Jiang Wei's arrow as a command, the crossbowmen who were half-squatting on the ground and winding the strings of the crossbow stood up and fired fiercely at the enemy cavalry in front.

According to the troops of the Yulin Prison, each Dubo has twenty-five subordinates to form a concrete and small five-five square formation, with sixteen swords, shields, spearmen and nine crossbowmen covered on the outside of the square formation. In other words, Jiang Wei can use about 40% of all troops at one shot, and about 1,100 crossbowmen.

These crossbowmen are also using ten-armed crossbows!

It has been seven or eight years since the first time the crossbows were launched. In these seven or eight years, the crossbows used by the Han army have iterated into four models, and the number of metal components used on the crossbows is increasing, while the power of the crossbow arrows and the reliability of the crossbow bows have been continuously improved.

At this time, thousands of crossbows were fired at once, and in an instant, thousands of arrows flew. The sound of bowstrings bursting again and again formed a breathtaking continuous and dull sound, and the crossbow arrows in the sky flew, making waves of roars.

The cavalry of the Cao army had long heard of the benefits of the Han army's crossbows, and they tried their best to prepare in advance. For example, many people put small round shields on their arms to cover them. However, this dense arrow that transcends normal people's imagination is not something that humans can do to compete with. If there is no leap forward in equipment, even if they meet ten or a hundred more times, they can only be dumbfounded.

In an instant, dense arrows fell down, easily passing through the body without armor, bringing out bunches of blood mist after bunches. The injured cavalry roared angrily and wanted to persist in fighting, but the war horses caught in the arrow jumped and neighed wildly, completely disrupting the momentum of the cavalry's rushing forward.

Some archers will die by themselves, so they simply truce the horse and shoot hard. The power of riding and shooting is mainly reflected in the combination of long-range strikes and the mobility of war horses. In terms of lethality alone, it is not outstanding. What's more, after truce the horse, they change from a mobile target to a fixed target?

When the ten arrows were launched, the Cao army was defeated, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and people and horses flew over. The bodies of the fallen horses were scattered on the ground in various twisted postures, and the ownerless war horses were spinning in panic. The number of cavalry on the horses would not exceed three or five hundred. They all lost their fighting spirit and began to snatch the horses back and run back.

"Okay!" Xiang Chong waved his fist excitedly.

"Boeu is doing beautifully!" Several attendants and staff officers around Zhuge Liang were also happy, and some even beat their armor vigorously and cheered.

"What do you think young people often think?" Zhuge Liang asked calmly.

Ma Su pondered for a moment, then said, "Boyou is still anxious. He only has a thousand cavalry, he doesn't have to use all the crossbowmen, let alone all the ten arrows... Now Cao's army knows the approximate number of crossbowmen, the range of the crossbows, and the normal frequency of the crossbow shooting. Prime Minister, then Cao's army continued to test, the purpose was to determine the speed at which we load the crossbow arrows."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "Well said it well. Youchang, the enemy cavalry is coming again."

"Can you send someone to inform Berjo and let him be a little prepared?"

"No need." Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Just let Boyue let go of his actions. Just in this way, Cao's army would think he had a plan."

While Zhuge Liang was discussing with Ma Su, Zhang Liao was listening to the situation on the battlefield.

This battlefield is a plain sandwiched between the Xianchi and Weishui Rivers in Luzhong. However, the plain landform in Guanzhong is different from that in Hebei and Central Plains. Although the ground is flat and open, the flowing water has repeatedly washed away since ancient times, forming dense and complex gullies and valleys, which split the plains into plateaus.

The Taiyuan is not steep and is not enough to be a support for combat. However, the countless gullies and valleys between the Taiyuan have become natural military dispatch channels, making it difficult for outsiders to detect clues.

At this time, Zhang Liao was leading his horse and leading the cavalry to advance along a gully. The starting point of this gully was behind the ground where the Cao army gathered, and there were wild grass and forests covering it, which just blocked the Han army's view. The obstruction effect of the Cao army's light cavalry across the battlefield made it impossible for the Han army's scouts to approach.

So Zhang Liao and others sneaked in the gullies for several miles, and took advantage of the opportunity of the two armies' head-on battle, and approached the flank of the Han army.

Zhang Liao leaned his back against the edge of the ravine and listened carefully to his light cavalry's advancement.

When the cavalry retreated again, he said to Cao Hong beside him: "Half a moment. I'm sure, it's half a moment."

Cao Hong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Ten crossbow arrows can be shot out as fast as a hundred breaths, but each time it takes half a moment to change the crossbow arrows. This is much faster than we expected. Obviously, the Han army's crossbow has changed to a new model, which is not the structure that was originally loaded into the wooden slot on the spot."

"General Zi Lian thinks, half a moment is enough?"
