"Then kill them all for me." Cao Ren was not a good man and woman. Seeing that Niu Jin refused to surrender, Cao Ren waved his hand with a blank expression, and Cao Bing received Cao Ren's order to attack even more urgently.
"Don't be messed up, join the formation and break through with me," Niu Jin shouted loudly among the chaos. The Cao army was everywhere, like a tough cowhide rope that bound them. Niu Jin only watched the soldiers of the Jin army fall down continuously.
, very worried and anxious.
After making heavy sacrifices, the Jin army finally formed a gun formation. The threat posed by Cao's crossbows on the periphery finally reduced a little. However, the previous chaos also caused most of the crossbowmen under his command to be killed and injured, only the only one left
There are only a few hundred people.
"Kill," Niu Jin relied on his thick armor and rushed to the forefront of the gun array. The Jin army's gun array was invincible in the world. This is well known to everyone. Under the impact of the gun array, Cao's army's airtight encirclement was pulled down.
Extend until the chain that bound them could not bear the tension and broke, Niu Jin and the others could break.
But it is not easy for Cao Ren to mobilize the troops and horses surrounding Niu Jin outside the city. They are all elites of the Cao family army under Cao Ren. In terms of combat experience, they are even older than Yu Jin's new Yuzhou Legion, but they are slightly inferior in equipment.
Just a part.
Cao Ren saw that all the Jin army's spearmen were wearing heavy iron-leaf armor, not afraid of ordinary crossbow shooting, and could even remove part of the force of swords and guns. In addition, the tacit cooperation between several guns,
Let them continue to advance step by step under such harsh circumstances.
Fortunately, Cao Ren had not dealt with the Jin army, and was not prepared for this situation. Seeing that the Jin army had signs of breaking through, Cao Ren snorted coldly: "It's not that easy to break through," he waved his hand.
A team of powerful crossbow soldiers lined up in an orderly manner to join the battlefield.
"Brothers, let me kill you, we're almost ready to rush out," Niu Jinzheng shouted and cheered up his morale. Suddenly, Cao's army suddenly loosened the encirclement in front, and gave way out. Niu Jin was overjoyed when he saw this and only arrived.
Cao Bing could no longer bear the pressure from his side.
But Niu Jin was about to call for orders to break out of the circumference. A row of Cao Bing, holding a powerful crossbow, and Niu Jin swallowed the words to his mouth. As the sound of bowstrings buzzing like bees flapping their wings, I saw a row of black
A hurricane-like crossbow arrow swept across the Hebei Army's gun array, and hundreds of Jin army spearmen in the front row were shot to the ground screaming.
"It's a powerful crossbow, general, be careful," the personal soldiers beside Niu Jin shouted loudly, pushing Niu Jin down from the horse without hesitation. The next moment, Niu Jin's mount and the personal soldiers were shot into a hedgehog together.
After getting up from the ground hard, Niu Jin was desperate. The Jin army's spearmen were thick, so they were invincible in the past battles. But Niu Jin also knew that the spearmen were not completely weak, if the opponent could have it,
A large number of powerful crossbows that can even shoot through shields, and such a dense gun array will face a huge crisis.
But Niu Jin doesn't take this kind of thing seriously at all. The production of crossbows is extremely complex and expensive. A bronze crossbow is valuable, and an ordinary military crossbow is several times more expensive than an excellent long bow.
What's more, it's a strong crossbow with higher requirements. Niu Jin has paid attention to the opponents he had fought with the Jin army in the past. There are almost no troops equipped with strong crossbows that can be largely equipped. Even if the Jin army with the most well-equipped equipment today, the strong crossbows can only be equipped.
For the Central Army such as Xuanying Guard, the Cavalry Camp, the Navy, and local legions such as the Yuzhou Army, there are only a thousand and eight hundred powerful crossbows among the nearly 10,000 crossbows.
Unexpectedly, in Runan, Niu Jinjin saw such a large-scale crossbow force under Cao Ren's men.
Seeing that the effect of a powerful crossbow was even richer than the result of hundreds of casualties and injuries, Cao Ren showed a happy smile. In order to form these 800 crossbow soldiers, Cao Ren spent a lot of effort, just to do it. One day, the gun array that was so famous in the Jin army one day, and today it seems that the effort spent is worth it.
Cao Ren smiled expectantly. In order to let this powerful crossbow camp exert its maximum power, Cao Ren also worked hard on the crossbow arrows. I believe that the effect will be better presented in a while.
In front of Senhan's crossbow arrow, even though hesitated like the Jin army, how many people can ignore life and death and launch an attack against the most domineering crossbow in the world.
Niu Jin felt the hesitation of his soldiers, and at this time hesitation would only make death come faster. Niu Jin shouted: "Hesitation is only one death, the sword and shield are in front of him, and the brothers follow me." Niu Jin fell When he was on horseback, the big sword had long disappeared. At this moment, he could only draw out his sword and rush towards the Cao army's powerful crossbow camp in front of him. The personal soldiers around him could not stop him desperately, and he could hold a big shield and protect him to death.
Niu Jin's toughness made Cao Ren's eyes flash with a hint of praise, but he turned to sneer: "Courage is commendable, but excessive courage is stupidity. I will give you no living words and shoot them."
The harsh sound of bowstrings, Niu Jin and the soldiers were like trees hit by hurricanes. Rows of Jin soldiers were shot overturned, and a large number of Jin soldiers fell on the moat of Pingyu City, and their blood was soaked in the moat. Become red.
But in a moment, the Jin army was shot to death by the domineering hard crossbow, and Niu Jin was also hit by a few arrows. The 48-pound heavy armor he wore could make him carelessly When shooting a crossbow, when facing a strong crossbow, except for the thick armor on the chest, the rest can be shot through by powerful crossbow arrows.
These arrow injuries were mainly concentrated under the ribs, shoulders and legs, about four or five. At first Niu Jin didn't care. After all, these arrows were not shot deep, and the iron armor still removed most of the strength, but gradually Niu Jin I still found some troops, but the wound gradually became paralyzed and lost consciousness, and the movement was filled with swelling and pain.
"The despicable child actually hardens the poison on the arrow," a soldier couldn't help but curse. After this period of spread, the toxicity finally began to work. Niu Jin was desperate to find that although this poisonous arrow did not kill anyone immediately , but it is enough to make people lose their effect on the battlefield. In the past moment, in addition to hundreds of soldiers who died under hard crossbows, almost a few soldiers were poisoned by arrows, which undoubtedly caused the Jin army, which was already in a desperate situation. Adding insult to injury.
Seeing that the momentum of the Jin army breaking through was completely suppressed, a cold smile flashed across Cao Ren's mouth. In his eyes, the thousands of Jin soldiers trapped inside and outside the city gate were hard to escape.
"I hate it so much," Niu Jin punched the ground hard and sighed to the sky. At this time, he had lost the last glimmer of hope to break out, and his mind was full of regret and annoyance.
A soldier beside him resolutely said: "Are the general afraid of death? Death in the battlefield is our best destination,"
"I, Niu Jin, are not a greedy person who is afraid of death? I just want to not listen to the governor's words. Now that I am in danger, I have also suffered so many great men's lives. You go and surrender. Since there is no conflict, the governor's where is the governor? I will never blame you..." Niu Jin sighed. At this time, he was full of regret and only wanted to save the life of the soldier. His eyes became increasingly strong and his numb hands touched the sword silently. handle……
The personal soldiers around him saw that Niu Jin was asking for death, so they tried hard to stop it, and refused to say, "We swear to never surrender, and we are willing to fight to the end with the general,"
"There has never been a precedent for our Jin army to surrender. We are willing to fight to the death with the general and never stop until death."
Seeing that everyone was about to fight to the death, Niu Jin was slightly confident and thought that since he couldn't rush out, he simply wanted to kill a few more Cao soldiers.
Just when Niu Jin and others were determined to fight to the death, several miles away from the battlefield, Yu Jin finally led a large army to Pingyu City.
Yu Jin anxiously looked at Pingyu City, which was already vaguely looking in the distance, and sent the whistle cavalry in front of him to send back the emergency military information in front of him.
"Governor, Ximen of Pingyu is fighting fiercely. The situation seems to be unfavorable to our army. General Niu's troops seem to be trapped in it."
Yu Jin was shocked when he heard this. He rushed to Sun Guan all the way, behind Niu Jin, just because he was afraid that the two generals would not get any benefits from Cao Ren. The thing he was most worried about now still happened. Niu Jin was surrounded and must have been defeated. Cao Ren's ambush.
"All the cavalry come with me to save General Niu Jin," Yu Jin said without thinking. General Li Dian hurriedly persuaded: "Governor, there are only more than 500 cavalry directly under the army. Isn't such a small number of people going to fight Cao Ren? Entering the tiger's mouth,"
Yu Jin said in a sarcasm: "The military situation is urgent, so I don't care about so many things. I will lead the cavalry to disperse the formation of Cao soldiers first, and you will lead the infantry and then respond." After that, he gathered the cavalry in one place, and even the whistle cavalry were marshaled. Among them, there were more than 500 people running towards Pingyu City like lightning.
The closer we are to Pingyu, the more shocked Yu Jin is, he can already see that there are tens of thousands of Cao soldiers gathered outside Pingyu City, and the soldiers of the Jin army are surrounded and cannot see the situation inside, but are on the city. With both sides of the outside, you can think of Niu Jin and his situation as worried.
"Blow the trumpet and tell them there are reinforcements outside to rescue them." Two miles away from the battlefield, Yu Jinningsheng ordered that the morale would be consumed the most under the encircled state. If you know that reinforcements are coming to rescue them, the encircled soldiers will be Morale will be greatly improved.
The trumpeter blew the horn in his hand without hesitation. The shrill sound of the trumpet suddenly pierced the sky. Niu Jin, who was numb in the surrounding circle, could not move even when he heard the trumpet in the distance, thought it was his own hallucination. When I came to my senses, my heart suddenly felt a sudden slight. The excitement made the fog steam in the eyes of the rough man, who was eight feet tall, and his voice choked: "Brothers, it's the governor... the governor brought reinforcements,"
"The governor is here, we are saved," the Jin army blocked by the city suddenly became very energetic and a burst of joy when he heard this.
Cao Ren also soon discovered the Jin cavalry who suddenly appeared behind the battlefield. At first, he was nervous, but only a few hundred cavalry came to him were relieved. He called the deputy general Cao Zhen and said, "Zi Dan (Cao Zhen's name is "Zi Dan" (Cao Zhen's name". ) Give you two thousand soldiers and horses, and I will hold you back at the future no matter what,"
