Volume 10 Chapter 392
Chapter 392
Shi Lexuan thought that Mo Jun's camp was empty again, but this time he was wrong.
When he led 10,000 heavy cavalry to charge less than fifty steps away from Mo Camp, suddenly drums were beating loudly and shouts were heard in Mo Camp. At the same time, countless Mo soldiers stood up on the wall.
Before the heavy cavalry could figure out what was going on, the Mo army on the wall had already set up the broken crossbows they had prepared in advance.
At the gate of the camp, there were many Mo troops launching more than ten military-breaking crossbows, arranged in a row horizontally. Then, under General Mo's loud orders, the broken crossbows at the village wall and camp gate were launched in unison.
The power of the Army-breaking Crossbow is not as powerful as the City-breaking Crossbow, but at such a close distance, the crossbow arrows it fires are enough to penetrate the armor of the heavy cavalry. What's even more terrible is that the Army-breaking Crossbow fires three times at a time, and the three arrows are fired at the same time. , in a scattering pattern, there are now hundreds of broken crossbows set up by the Mo army. When fired in a salvo, the number of crossbow arrows fired is close to two thousand.
Just for a moment, a scream came from the heavy cavalry camp that was charging forward. The crossbow arrows that flew down directly penetrated the horse's head, and also pierced the chest and abdomen of the horse rider. Even people and horses were nailed to the ground, and their bodies were in a standing position. They couldn't fall down even if they wanted to.
The heavy armor of the heavy cavalry looked so vulnerable in front of the broken crossbow, as if it were paper. In an instant, no fewer than hundreds of heavy cavalry were killed and wounded by crossbow arrows.
Shi Lexuan never dreamed that Mo Jun would actually use the Pojun Crossbow. At that time, only the Feng Kingdom had such a powerful weapon as the Pojun Crossbow. He really couldn't understand how Mo Jun managed to get so many Pork Crossbows. Military crossbow.
In fact, this was exactly the result of Lechen's successful sneak attack on Changdu. During the sneak attack on Changdu, Lechen captured hundreds of Fengjun's broken crossbows. He didn't hide his secrets at all and sent all of his men to Xu Lengzhi.
Xu Lengzhi also valued that the Pojun Crossbow was powerful and could fire multiple times. It was a weapon to restrain heavy cavalry, and its actual combat effect on the battlefield was indeed surprisingly good. It knocked out Fengguo's heavy cavalry in one fell swoop. .
Xu Lengzhi used Feng Jun's broken crossbow to hit Feng Jun's heavy cavalry. Xu Lengzhi's move was so hateful and cruel that it exceeded Feng Jun's expectations. On the battlefield, Mo Jun's arrows continued to fire, and the heavy cavalry who were hit by arrows and fell from their horses came one after another. In a short distance of fifty steps, a group of heavy cavalry rushed forward and a group were shot dead. In front of Mo Ying, Feng Jun Soldiers, corpses and horse corpses were mixed together, stacked one on top of another, and they were all piled high.
Since the war in Mozambique, the Ninth Army has never suffered such a heavy loss. Shi Lexuan became red-eyed and ordered his soldiers to continue to charge forward and try their best to break through the Mok Army's crossbow array. No matter what, they must fight against the Mok Army. Start a close fight.
As long as they can engage in close combat with Mo Jun, the army-breaking crossbows will be completely useless, and then the world will be our own.
Shi Lexuan's idea was correct, but the key was that the Mo army had too many crossbows, and the crossbow arrows poured down like raindrops in an endless stream. Although the heavy cavalry was cavalry, it was not fast. How could it break through the Mo army? Crossbow array.
Seeing the brothers under his command charging forward and falling down, Shi Lexuan was so anxious that he took the lead and charged forward regardless. Shi Lexuan was able to be reused by Qi Heng because he was a confidant. His own spiritual martial arts were also very strong.
Shi Lexuan took the lead, which naturally attracted Mo Jun's attention. Soon, Mo Jun focused its firepower on him. At that moment, all the crossbow arrows flying from all directions were focused on him. Shi Lexuan refused to evade, urged his horse and roared, wheeled his spiritual sword, first released the spiritual chaos wind, and then released the cross slash, fighting hard. A spiritual martial skill that consumes spiritual energy and continuously releases large-scale attacks.
He used all his techniques, but he could only advance to forty steps away from Mo Ying. At this time, he no longer had the strength to rush forward.
Just when he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was empty, the front force was exhausted and the back force was insufficient, a crossbow arrow was shot diagonally from directly in front of him.
Shi Lexuan was unable to block it. The crossbow arrow hit his horse's head, and there was a thumping sound in his ear. The crossbow arrow penetrated the horse's head, and then nailed him hard in the stomach. Even if Shi Lexuan had spiritual armor to protect him, he couldn't withstand such a powerful impact. He was directly knocked out on horseback until he flew more than two meters away before he sat down on the ground. At this time, looking at his lower abdomen, the spiritual armor was broken and the crossbow arrow almost pierced his belly.
"General, be careful—" the heavy cavalry behind them changed their faces in fear, and they all screamed.
Shi Lexuan thrust the spiritual sword in his hand towards the ground, struggled to stand up, and roared angrily: "It's just a broken military crossbow, it's still far from being able to hurt me..."
Before he finished speaking, another crossbow arrow struck like lightning. Shi Lexuan didn't even see clearly. With a muffled thud, the crossbow arrow hit his stomach.
The arrow penetrated the spiritual armor, entered from his front abdomen, and came out from behind. His body that had just stood up felt like it was struck by lightning. First it was shocked, paused for two seconds, and then fell straight back.
"Save the general!" The heavy cavalry below were like crazy. They completely ignored the crossbows in front of them and stepped on the corpses of their companions. They just stepped on a bloody path and rushed to Shi Lexuan who fell to the ground.
Looking at him now, he is exhaling too much, inhaling little, his limbs are twitching, and he is about to die.
People cried and forced him to pull him on horseback, and many cavalry formed a circle around him, escorting the seriously injured Shi Lexuan down with their own flesh and blood.
Pity the heavily armored cavalry. They retreated and were chased by crossbows. There were countless casualties.
The Second Corps of the Ninth Army came with a mighty force, but ended up retreating in a hurry with heavy casualties. When Qi Heng heard the news of the disastrous defeat of Shi Lexuan's army, he could hardly believe his ears. When he asked carefully, he found that only less than 5,000 of his 10,000 soldiers had returned. Qi Heng's eyebrows stood up. He roared and asked: "Where is Shi Lexuan? Tell him to come over and see me!"
He just went to attack a mere Mo camp, but lost more than 5,000 of his own brothers. Since the establishment of the Ninth Army until now, the total number of troops lost has not been as much as his losses in this battle. Qi Heng wanted to ask Shi Lexuan, this How did he fight the battle?
After he finished speaking, he saw the remaining defeated generals standing in front of him with their heads hanging down. They didn't dare to raise their heads or move, but large droplets of water kept dripping from their faces.
Seeing this, Qi Heng suddenly took a breath, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
He looked left and right and carefully checked in the crowd. He did not find Shi Lexuan. He sniffed and asked, "Where is Lexuan? This guy didn't dare to come to see him because he lost a battle." Me?"
"..." No one dared to answer, and everyone's heads hung lower. Everyone is very aware of the relationship between Qi Heng and Shi Lexuan. They are called subordinates, but they are actually brothers.
Qi Heng fiercely took a step forward, grabbed the commander of the second corps by his armored collar, and walked back, shouting: "I ask you, where is Le Xuan?"
The regiment commander's legs went weak, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "General, he...General, he...he..."
At this time, the crowd separated automatically and consciously. Four Feng soldiers carried the stretcher high, slowly walked up to Qi Heng, and then carefully put the stretcher down.
Qi Heng looked down and felt a chill. The stretcher was covered with a blood-red cloak. He couldn't see who was lying underneath, but he knew the cloak. It belonged to Shi Lexuan.
He stood frozen on the spot for half a minute, then slowly squatted down, stretched out his hands, and picked up a corner of his cloak.
He was so brave and good at fighting, so strong and strong, but his hands were shaking violently at this time. He held on to the corner of the cloak for a long time, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to lift it off, but big tears had already fallen from his eyes. Rolled down.
Brothers should share the joys and sorrows together. They had gone through the hard days together, and now they are just living a good life, but they are separated by heaven and earth, and Qi Heng's heart is as sharp as a knife. After an unknown amount of time, he released his grip on the cloak and said in a hoarse voice: "Send to my general, prepare the whole army, and come with me to fight!"
"General, please don't..." Ye Tang and Gao Yu both stepped forward to stop him. The two of them could understand Qi Heng's current mood, but Mo Jun was obviously well prepared and used crossbows to deal with his own heavy armor. Even if the whole army attacked, they might not be able to get an advantage, but would only increase casualties. .
But at this time, Qi Heng, who was filled with grief and resentment, could not listen to the advice of Jin Ye and Gao Second General. He didn't even look at the two of them. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and stood coldly while riding. Said: "If anyone dares to stop me now, I will kill him!"
Qi Heng's words blocked Ye Tang and Gao Yu's words. The two frowned, anxious and helpless. Let's talk about Qi Heng, astride his war horse, lead the entire ninth army, and rush directly towards the Mo army camp.
The ensuing battle was just like a replica of the fierce battle just now. The Mo army used broken crossbows to deal with the heavy cavalry. The condescending shots made the soldiers of the Ninth Army a living target.
In this situation, if the Ninth Army was a light cavalry army, it might be possible to break through the Mo army's crossbow formation at a small cost. However, the Ninth Army was a heavy cavalry army, and Pabuma's slow speed became The most fatal weakness is that as long as the soldiers enter the dense area where the Mo army's crossbows are concentrated, they will never be able to escape unscathed.
At this time, even if Qi Heng personally commanded the battle and a regiment pushed forward, most of it would be lost in a blink of an eye, and it would not be able to get close to Mo Ying.
Qi Heng was already furious and commanded his soldiers to rush forward regardless of the cost without participating in the battle. Ye Tang and Gao Yu, who were watching from behind, shook their heads repeatedly. If the fight continued like this, the entire legion would be exhausted.
As soon as the two discussed it, they didn't even know they were going to join forces. They directly ordered the soldiers around them to beat the gongs and ring the gold to call back all the soldiers fighting in the front. Our side could not fight this battle again no matter what.
