Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 189 The Bed Crossbow That Makes Shan Yue Frightened
Accompanied by the thundering sound of war drums, hundreds of bed crossbows were pushed to the front of the battlefield.

Lin Chong rode his horse and stood next to the crossbow on the bed, his expression extremely serious.

After the army entered Taihe City, they found more than a hundred crossbows wrapped in oil paper from the arsenal that had not been transported away by Pan Meng.

Fortunately, he took action early, otherwise these bed crossbows would have fallen into Shan Yue's hands, and the consequences would have been disastrous.

With these bed crossbows as auxiliary, relying on the elite of the Chu army, even if Shan Yue's army has [-], it can still fight with it.

Kan Leng held Mo Dao upside down and led the Danyang elite soldiers to appear at the front of the military formation, quietly waiting for orders.

These Qiandanyang elite soldiers were trained by Your Majesty with a lot of effort and money. They are both offensive and defensive, extremely brave, and are good at small-scale combined attacks.It can be said that among the infantry of the Chu army, no one can surpass him.

A thousand Danyang elite soldiers, plus the rest of the infantry, were able to withstand the first few rounds of Shanyoshi's attacks. From Kan Leng's point of view, there was no problem at all.

"Liu joins the army and goes with me to visit the ancestral ridge for a while. He dares to start a rebellion against the imperial court. I want to see who this person is."

Zhao Yun, who was in the central army, put down the telescope in his hand and said these words with a smile on his face.

After the surrounding soldiers saw Zhao Yun's calm expression, the worries they had originally had due to the large number of enemies disappeared in an instant, and they straightened their spines subconsciously.

Liu Rengui nodded slightly, he understood Zhao Yun's intention.

The army conquered and became famous as a division.

Nowadays, the Chu army is the party that occupies the righteousness. It would be great if they can use words to damage Shanyue's morale.

I saw dozens of generals escorting a general walking to the front of the Chu army's formation. The leader was eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a heavy face. He was majestic and majestic in appearance.

This man rides a divine white horse with no trace of hair from head to tail, wears a white helmet and white armor, wears a white robe, and holds a bright silver spear, which makes people unforgettable at first sight.

"My commander-in-chief asked your master to come out and answer the question!"

A general shouted at the top of his lungs to Shanyue.

"Answer before the formation?"

Zu Ling got the news and was a little confused.

In the past, when they fought with the Chu army, the two armies started fighting directly after meeting, without any shouting in front of the battle.

"What is this Chu man doing?"

"Chief Ancestor, this is a common pre-battle reply from the Central Plains countries." Elder Zhiding explained. "If one of the parties has great righteousness, it will have an impact on the morale of the other party."

Buddhism is deeply rooted in the military and political circles of Qi State, and he still knows some of the default rules for fighting between the two armies.

Zu Ling sneered and said: "My subordinates are all men who are good at mountains. How can they listen to the Chu people's nonsense? After my leader has defeated all the Chu army's more than ten thousand troops, what is the so-called righteousness? In the brave Shanyue They are nothing in front of warriors!”

Righteousness?

what is that?
They are over the mountains and only know their fists!

Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say!
Regarding the [-] troops under his command, Zuling was still very confident even though Jin Gan had been defeated for a while before.

The Taihe Ridge is rich in minerals. With the copper and iron ore, Shanyue was able to forge weapons himself to form a force to fight against the Chu court.

However, because the smelting technology was too crude, Shankoshi could only make weapons, but not armor.

Even so, with the steep terrain of Taihe Ridge and the bravery and proficiency of the barbarian soldiers, they had nothing to fear even if the Chu State sent troops to encircle and suppress them.

When encountering a small force, they rely on the bravery of the barbarians to directly attack them; when they find the main force of the Chu army, they retreat into the dense mountains and forests, and use the terrain to fight against the Chu army. Often it is the Chu army that cannot hold on and retreats in the end.

Therefore, whether there is armor or not is not too important to Shankoshi.

When his father was in power, Zuling's tribe had no more than [-] warriors under his command. Although he was the number one in each village, when others united, his father was helpless.

Now, under his leadership, the strength of his own tribe has not only greatly increased, but all the villages have surrendered in fear of his force. In addition, there are various ordnance supplies secretly sent by Pan Meng, plus the assistance sent by Qi State. The strength of the entire Shanyue is much stronger than it was a few years ago, which makes Zuling feel unsatisfied.

In his eyes, how could it be possible for [-] Shanyue warriors to fight against more than [-] Chu troops to be invincible?

However, compared to Zu Ling's confidence, Master Zhiding's mood was a bit solemn.

Not to mention that the monarchs and ministers of Qi State all agreed that the Chu army was now far from what it used to be. Just before the battle, such contempt for the enemy army should not appear at all on Zu Ling, who was the commander-in-chief.

Since the new emperor of Chu came to power, the Chu army defeated the Burmese army in the south and the Qi army in the north. The army was invincible in every direction and the atmosphere took on a new look.

Could it be that Zuling thought that his hastily formed Shanyue barbarian army was stronger than the regular armies of Qi and Myanmar?

It is really a taboo for military strategists not to take the Chu army seriously!

At this moment, shouting came again from the opposite military formation.

"Let your master come out to answer the question? Why, could it be that the legendary Yamakoshi warrior is just a coward?"

As the words fell, Zu Ling only felt eyes looking towards him.

Cunning Chu people!
Cursing secretly in his heart, Zu Ling snorted coldly: "Forget it, I will just listen to what these Chu people have to say? Generals, follow my leader to the battle!"

After that, he led the big and small Shanyue generals to the front of the formation.

Seeing Zhao Yun, Zuling struck preemptively and shouted: "You Chu people killed our Shanyue soldiers without any reason and invaded our Shanyue territory. I don't know what the reason is?"

But he was planning to strike first.

"Invading your territory for no reason?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun sneered at the corner of his mouth and asked coldly:
"Zuling, I would like to ask you, what official position do you have, how dare you say such a thing? The land south of the Yangtze River is our territory of Da Chu, and the people of Jiangnan are all the people of our Da Chu. You guys Shanyue refused to obey the king's rule, burned, killed, looted, and even colluded with the rebels, intending to attack Taihe City. The evidence of the crime is conclusive, how can you change it with just a wagging of your lips?"

In one sentence, Zhao Yun characterized Pan Meng, the former governor of Taihe City, as a "rebel".

Hearing this, Zu Ling was speechless and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

The relationship between Shanyue and the Chu court was not good. How could he, a leader of Shanyue, obtain an official position in Chu?
As for the rest of what Zhao Yun said, he was clumsy and clumsy. When it came to righteousness, he was no match for the Chu people.

After his expression changed for a while, Zu Ling gritted his teeth, raised his arms and shouted:

"We, the Shanyue clan, are the people of the mountains. The Chu people are vicious, offending our Shanyue, and bullying our mountain people. It is really a heinous crime. Such a bloody feud must be avenged!"

As he spoke, he looked around at the generals and said loudly:

"You are all warriors of our Shanyue people. Who is willing to go and cut off the head of this beast to avenge the people of my Shanyue people?"

Zu Ling saw that he could not defeat the opponent with words, so he directly chose to start a war. As long as Shanyue won in the end, the rest of the things would be much simpler.

No matter how sharp your words are, they are no match for a sharp sword.

As soon as Zu Ling finished speaking, he saw a barbarian general rushing out, riding his horse and wielding his sword. "I am the warrior Zhuo Feng, Chu thieves come forward quickly and die!"

Jin Gan, who was a step too late, had no choice but to rein in his horse and sighed softly.

This guy, Zhuo Feng, took away this achievement.

Zhao Yun's eyes moved slightly, and when he was about to take action himself, Kan Leng beside him said quickly:

"You're just a little thief, why bother the commander? I'll cut off his head right now and offer it to the commander as a chamber pot!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, he raised the Mo Dao upside down and rushed towards Zhuo Feng on horseback.

The two horses met for just a moment, but when they saw a fierce flash of sword light, Zhuo Feng was split in half by Kan Leng's sword.

"How dare you come here to die even if you are only a seventh-grade man?" Kan Leng made a great achievement with his sword, and he felt very happy and shouted, "You traitors, please come again quickly and let grandpa have another good time!"

"Damn it! Kill my friend and pay with your life!"

In the Shanyue formation, when they saw Zhuo Feng's tragic death, You Ying, who had always been friends with him, was immediately blinded. Without waiting for Zu Ling to speak, he mounted his horse and held an ax to kill Kan Leng.

Kan Leng came to greet him with his sword.

The two of them fought together in front of the two army formations.

"This guy is so brave!"

After fighting for ten minutes, he realized that the opponent was also an eighth-level master, and his strength was even slightly higher than his own. Kan Leng couldn't help but frown slightly, but he soon came up with a plan.

The two fought for another three or five times, and Kan Leng used a flaw and let the barbarian's gold-dipped ax slash at his waist. However, he hid in the stirrup, dodged the axe, and then let out a sigh. , splitting Huashan Mountain with one move, and with just one sword, the barbarian general who had no time to change his move bowed his head, and returned to the main formation majesticly.

Seeing that he had lost two battles in a row and lost two generals one after another, Zu Ling was so angry that his mouth twisted and he stopped talking and just waved his hand forward fiercely.

You can't fight with bickering, and you can't fight with generals. If that's the case, then just attack with the army and let the battle begin!
woo-

The vast sound of horns echoed over the Shanyue army.

The barbarian soldiers who heard the sound of the horn began to launch an attack on the Chu army camp under the leadership of their respective leaders.

"Want to fight? Then fight!" Zhao Yun looked at the approaching Shanyue barbarians and snorted, "Let these frogs in the well see the strength of our Chu army!"

Following Zhao Yun's order, the center of the Chu army suddenly sounded a shocking sound of war drums.

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

Amidst the passionate drums, the soldiers of Chu felt extremely excited, which seemed to arouse the courage in their hearts.

Advance at the sound of drums and retreat at the sound of gold. This is the most basic common sense of soldiers.

The soldiers beat their shields with their weapons, and at the same time, under the command of the general, they came to the predetermined position and set up their formation.

Accompanied by the sound of war drums and horns, soldiers from both sides slowly approached on the battlefield.

Although the Shanyue barbarians all over the mountains and plains give people a strong sense of depression.

The harsh environment in Taihe Ridge made the Shanyue people develop a habit of bravery.When facing war, they are not as afraid as ordinary armies. Instead, in order to compete for living space and subsistence materials, they become fearless of death.

For the Shanyue soldiers who longed for victory, any enemy who blocked them from winning would become corpses under their swords.

But to the veterans of the Chu army who had experienced previous fierce battles, Shanyue's momentum was nothing.

No matter how strong Shanyue is, is it still stronger than the regular armies of Burma and Qi?

Even if they are equally matched in terms of fighting spirit, in terms of equipment, the difference between the two is not even a little bit different!
"Hold the spear straight and don't shake your hands!"

"Don't be in a hurry to release your arrows. Wait until these barbarians get closer and hear your superior's order before you release them!"

"Put the shield on the ground diagonally, slow down your breathing, don't be nervous!"

"Shan Yue is also a human being. He has two shoulders and one head just like us. What's so scary!"

The veterans who had experienced blood and fire did not forget to pass on the experience gained with their lives to the new recruits before the war, so that they could survive on the cruel battlefield.

Amidst the sound of horns, the Shanyue barbarian army quickly came to a distance of less than [-] steps from the Chu army.

Three hundred steps may seem very far, but to the soldiers who control the bed crossbows, these three hundred steps are a death zone.

As long as the enemy dares to enter within the range of three hundred steps, they will be greeted by deadly crossbow arrows.

Accompanied by the sound of the machine gun, huge crossbow arrows as thick as an arm were shot towards the Shanyue barbarians with a shrill whistling sound.

Even though the barbarian soldiers were relatively loosely aligned during the charge, a salvo of hundreds of crossbows also took away the lives of more than [-] Shanyue people.

Many crossbow arrows, after penetrating the first Shanyue soldier, relied on their strong inertia to pass through the chests of the second and third Shanyue soldiers again like piercing meat skewers. Some even shot four or five in a row. The soldiers in the famous mountains have just exhausted their kinetic energy.

This distance of three hundred steps is enough for the crossbow to fire three to four rounds.

Although for the [-]-strong Shangoe Army, the casualties of more than a thousand people were not enough to break the bones, but the tragic situation of the soldiers before their death severely damaged our own morale.

The Shanyue barbarians rushing at the front are the elite of Shanyue. They are wearing Chu army armor smuggled by Pan Meng, and the weapons in their hands are also the most sophisticated. But even so, in front of the bed crossbow, they did not bring any weapons to them. To feel the slightest sense of security.

The wailing sounds of the companions before they died had not yet dissipated in their ears, and one after another others were shot to the ground by the Chu people's long-range attacks...

The brave Shanyue barbarians had never encountered such a scene before. They had already suffered such a painful loss without even touching the hem of the enemy's skirt.

The Shanyue barbarians who were rushing at the front subconsciously slowed down.

"These idiots, slowing down will only make you die faster!" Zu Ling saw some of the cowering soldiers, and immediately cursed, "Blow the horn, let the law enforcement team come forward, and urge them to attack the Chu army's position!"

"Come for me! Rush over, there is still hope of living!"

Under the urging of the generals and the pressure of the law enforcement team, the Shanyue barbarians had no choice but to bite the bullet and speed up their pace and rushed towards the Chu army.

In order to break through this death zone, these barbarian soldiers squeezed out all the potential in their bodies.

The Chu army's crossbows only had time to fire three rounds, and the Shanyue barbarians had already rushed to a distance of more than a hundred steps from the Chu army.

The Chu soldiers with good eyesight could even see the Shanyue man's hideous face covered in oil paint.

Under the command of the general, more than a hundred crossbows were quickly withdrawn to the rear of the Chu army's battle formation.

The next person to face Shanyue is the Chu army's front line with a thousand Danyang elite soldiers as the main force.
