Perhaps Lu Yao did guess the weakness of the Youzhou Army, but at the moment, they need to do their best to resist the angrily impact of the Youzhou Army. That is natural, because only the hammer and anvil can crush the rocks; if the hammer and anvil are not strong enough, they will be shattered by the rocks.
The waist-induced crossbow is not available for the time being. There are considerable time slots between each launch of such a complex weapon. Although the officers in charge of the command were clattering and thirty strong men were sweating profusely, they probably didn't have time to rewind when the enemy rushed to the front of the chariot.
The archers of Dai County were the ones who led the crossbow to pull the crossbow. They poked their bodies out of the cover of the sword and shield hands, and threw the arrows down despite the danger. The dense arrows like raindrops splashed red ripples in the black waves set off by the Youzhou Army, proving that such rain of arrows was almost enough to block any attack. But at this moment, the red ripples were immediately submerged by a larger black wave surging from the rear. In contrast, the Xianbei archers standing a little farther away also shot into the Dai County Army formation. At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the hit rate at all. As long as the arrows are thrown forward, you will definitely achieve considerable results!
Xue Tong was at the front of the chariot formation, and the flag used for command exposed his position, so he was immediately shot by the Xianbei people. One after another, whistling arrows hit the shield raised by the entourage soldiers. The huge force almost made them shaking, and the surface of the shield covering the cowhide was peeled off almost instantly. Two shield-holding soldiers groaned and fell to the ground with an arrow. Two soldiers in the back row raised their shields and ran forward to fill the gap. During this process, Xue Tong stood firm with a contempt expression, waved a long knife and knocked down several arrows. However, the two new soldiers soon took the position and soon retreated with the wound. The size of the wooden shield was limited, and it was difficult to cover themselves up intact while covering the generals with all their strength.
Xue Tong looked at the Xianbei people who were shooting freely and whispered a low order. The archers immediately focused their attention on the Xianbei people who were a hundred steps away, and their colleagues who were constantly suffering from casualties also shot them from the horses one by one.
This command gave Youzhou infantry in the charge a chance. When countless arrows flew back and forth above their heads, they howled and ran wildly, quickly blocking and killing the car formation. Countless people were excitedly clamoring like a tsunami, inspiring a soldier in front to jump up, and took advantage of the running momentum to fly, stepping straight on the top of the wooden wall!
He was greeted by more than ten spears that pierced out at the same time. This target, hanging alone in the air, was instantly poked through several spears. The spearmen shouted in unison, and flew back the lost body, smashed it into the dense enemy army, and knocked down a small group of people.
More spears stabbed out from the gap between the wooden walls like poisonous snakes spitting out letters, and immediately screamed one after another. The Youzhou army swarmed forward, instantly cut off a layer like an ant colony burned by flames. The body of the deceased either collapsed to the ground and was trampled by later generations; or was surrounded by comrades and raised it forward, and finally hit the wooden wall with a puff, squeezing the unsolidified blood out of each wound.
Some Youzhou soldiers bit their swords and freed their hands, trying to climb over the edge of the wooden wall, while the Daijun army's sword and shield hands cut off their palms or fingers without hesitation. Dozens of wounded soldiers who lost their fingers howled and fell back into the army formation, causing riots again.
The infantry team in the first wave of attack was reduced at a speed that was discernible to the naked eye. The second and third waves of the teams immediately pressed on. At each moment, hundreds of Youzhou soldiers were injured and died. The blood they splashed out made the land in front of the Daijun car formation slippery. After countless people stepped on it, it turned into small blood-colored ponds.
The side vans of the Daijun Army were just a unified name. In fact, it was a slight change from various large and small vehicles collected by Daijun, adding a wooden wall made of thick wooden boards to the side. The reliability of this kind of wooden wall is not high, and in order to facilitate long-distance raids, the vehicle's self-weight is also limited; although iron chains are connected to each other, it is far from being very strong. However, such a vehicle array is combined with long-range shooting crossbows, short-range piercing spears, and swords, shields and hands that are both offensive and defensive, and immediately becomes a difficult line of defense!
At this time, about 500 away from the front line of the two armies' fierce confrontation, Duan Ji and Lu Jun looked at the Daijun Army's chariot formation, and seemed to be out of the way.
Compared with the terrifying Youzhou troops, which covered the sky and the terrifying momentum, the Dai County Army only managed a small piece of land held by two rivers and landed on the vast grassland, which was as inconspicuous as a piece of stain. However, the legitimate son who was highly anticipated by the Duke of Liaoxi and the general Fujun, who had been commanding the army to fight south and north for a long time, did not expect that the Youzhou Army, which could all be defeated in the strong city of the Central Plains, would be frustrated in front of the inconspicuous car formation. What made him even more heavy was that Yang Fei, the troops of the Youzhou Army who were used as the vanguard, had suffered extremely heavy losses. After paying such a price, if he could not achieve the expected results, it would be hard for him to imagine how Wang Jun would feel.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Duan Mobo came from behind to Duan Ji and Lu Jun. Because he failed to successfully break through the chariot formation in front of the Dai County Army, Duan Mobo's heavy cavalry was unable to enter the battle. This situation made the ferocious Xianbei general a little anxious. He approached Duan Ji and Lu Jun and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the general is very dissatisfied with our command..."
"Oh?" Duan Ji and Lu Jun frowned.
"This...ah ah...the general is close to the generals complaining to us, saying that we are not committed to fighting, but instead use the lives of the Jin people to die. Although the general does not comment, he does not refute them."
Duan Ji and Lu Juan spat disdainfully: "Those people are just lucky people. What are the words that open their mouths and nonsense? We have to rely on us for war. The general is so wise, so naturally he knows our difficulties..." He pointed to the direction of the Dai County Army and said: "Look! Look! The flanks and back of the Dai County Army are full of large river beaches and water, which are difficult to accommodate the army to march. The encircled team has not yet been able to contact the enemy. And this front is blocked by the chariot formation. The general wants us to solve the enemy within an hour. Don't say you are anxious, I'm also anxious. But can I use cavalry to storm the chariot formation? At this time, when are those Jin people?"
Duan Ji and Lu Juan said a little, but he didn't feel that such words were actually just to convince himself. In fact, he himself did not have absolute confidence in Wang Jun's support. After saying a few words, the war horse under his crotch suddenly rushed forward a few steps in anger. He had to stop and forcefully tie the reins. It took some time to soothe the group of fierce horses.
"Tell Yang Fei that the Dai County Army has only such a small amount of troops. I don't believe they can last until when! Let him attack with all his might, and don't be afraid of death! If he dares not do his best, even if it makes trouble in front of the general, I will cut off his dog head first!" Duan Ji and Lu Juan gritted his teeth and clicked a cavalry to pass the order. Then he slowed down his tone and turned to Duan Mobo and said: "In addition, the Dai County Army blocked the two wings of our army's light cavalry in the distance based on the terrain, thinking that he was resting with peace of mind. As the frontal battle became more and more intense, I saw that their flanks seemed lazy."
Duan Ji and Lu Jun pointed to the rear of the right side of the county army, which is the southeast: "Mobo, look there. I have asked someone to carefully investigate the waters in that area, although the waters in that area are wide, but the water in most areas is deep and can only be swam easily; and there are also densely grown tall grass as a cover. I plan to select a group of warriors, abandon their horses and sneak on foot, and give them a fatal blow from behind! What do you think?"
Duan Mobo looked carefully at the direction Duan Ji and Lu Juan pointed, pondering without saying a word. Duan Ji and Lu Juan knew that his brother was not only brave, but also cunning and wise, so he was not in a hurry to urge him, but waited patiently for his reply.
While the two generals of Duan's family were discussing, Duan Ji and Lu Jun's cavalry had already rushed into Yang Fei's army. The black infantry team suddenly jumped up like a beast stabbed by a needle, and forced them to go to the Dai County Army together.
The infantry of the Youzhou Army was entirely composed of Jin people. In addition to some of the scattered Hu soldiers included in the Dai County Army, there were also a considerable number of Jin people. Their hometowns, Dai County and Ji County, were actually only more than a hundred miles away. Maybe several generations later, they would find a relationship with each other. But at this time, each of them gritted their teeth and fought to the death in this narrow area, fighting fiercely in every foot of the winding array of vehicles, slashing and stabbing each other.
The Jin people in the northern border were much more brave and strong than their compatriots in the south, so the intensity of the battle continued to increase until they far exceeded any war initiated by the kings of the Great Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains.
The spearmen in Dai County stabbed the spear out of the gap, pulled it back, and then stabbed it out, mechanically repeating this action over and over again. Most of the time, every time they stabbed it, it would trigger a scream, and the screams came one after another, without any stopping time. As the forces put in by the Youzhou Army became larger and larger, the spearmen often found that the retracted spear was cut off, and even the entire spear was pulled out by the Youzhou Army, which was fighting against the wooden wall. The sword and shield hands that provided them with cover had already suffered huge casualties. Under the violent impact of the thunderous thunder, even the continuous body of the car made crackling sounds.
Finally, a row of side vans could not hold on. In a short period of time, the Youzhou army concentrated arrows and shot fiercely in this direction, forcing the defenders to retreat a little, then cut off the iron chain with an iron axe. More than a dozen people pressed their shoulders against the body of the vehicle at the same time and exerted force, pushing the vehicle back several feet apart!
The Youzhou soldiers who were pushing the vehicle were almost instantly tidied into honeycombs by spears stabbed from their wings. However, more people shouted loudly and rushed towards the only gap in the continuous chariot formation. Countless swords, guns, swords and halberds swung into the small gap into a whirlwind, and plasma was splashed everywhere like rain. The first group of Youzhou soldiers who rushed into the gap and the first group of Daijun soldiers who rushed to maintain the defense line died almost instantly. The soldiers in the back row advanced one after another until the gap was blocked into a bloody and flesh grinder.
