Turbulent Times Chapter 1411: Liu Wuzhou died
Therefore, forcing Liu Wuzhou out of Mayi County and avoiding unnecessary casualties in the siege of the Whirlwind Camp was the first link in Wang Junlin's plan to plot Mayi County.
On the surface, it seems that Wang Junlin only brought 17,000 people from the Whirlwind Camp, but secretly there are also a large number of people from the Special Operations Brigade and the Military Intelligence Office. Luo Yi from Youzhou led 40,000 fine cavalry to come secretly. In Mayi County, there is also the mysterious horse thief.
Wang Junlin has the confidence to use these people to set traps and wipe out Liu Wuzhou's more than 80,000 horses. Apart from his confidence in Luo Yi's Youzhou soldiers and the mysterious horse thieves, his other reliance is that he is far away in the Qilian Mountains in the northwest In Zhongbinggong Town, according to the two blueprints drawn by Nie Xiaoyu, two new weapons were designed - the Baifa crossbow chariot and the steel string bow, and these two new weapons have recently been sent to Luo Yi's You In the state army.
…
…
More than 20 miles northwest of Mayi County, under Luo Yi's order, just came to the Youzhou Army yesterday. The generals and soldiers of the Youzhou Army are infinitely curious. They have never seen such a strange weapon before, and it is operated by a team of horse thieves. It really makes them curious to death.
In the distance, the wolf smoke suddenly ignited, and the thick black smoke went straight to Yunxiao. Luo Yi was clever and ordered everyone to take their positions and get ready.
10,000 Youzhou troops have lined up a neat infantry spear formation, and a dense hedgehog-like gun forest has been erected, just blocking the entire ditch.
The other 30,000 cavalry have been hidden on both sides, and other arrangements have also been prepared one by one. Every soldier's expression is full of confidence and high-spirited fighting spirit.
…
…
Liu Wuzhou was worried that Wang Junlin would send cavalry to catch up, so he let go of his horsepower and galloped all the way to the northwest, and the shortest route in this direction must pass through this section of the valley. Because they fled in a panic, they didn't even have time to send out the outposts. As a result, it was not discovered until they entered the ditch, five hundred steps away from the 10,000 infantry phalanx of the Luoyi Youzhou Army, and turned a short hill.
Liu Wuzhou, Huang Lao, Wang Chengguang and the others were taken aback. Wang Chengguang is a good archer, so he has excellent eyesight. Wang Junlin's Far East Army
, but the frontier army of the imperial court. "
"Turn out of the ditch at this time, and if you go around again, you will be entangled by the cavalry of Wang Junlin's Far East Army behind you." Huang Lao said with a serious face.
"There are actually 10,000 court infantrymen trying to block our way, hum! Do they think they have the mighty strength of the Far Eastern Army! Charge me with all your strength, charge through these 10,000 soldiers, and leave quickly." Liu Wuzhou Order loudly.
Picking up the binoculars and seeing the Mayi cavalry suddenly appearing in the field of vision, Luo Yi grinned ferociously, and shouted, "None of these Mayi rebels can even try to escape. Listen to my orders, raise your bow, and string it!"
After the first two rows of spearmen, all the rows behind were holding newly issued steel-string bows. At this time, they heard the order, drew the longbows, and drew sharp arrows to the bow.
"Get ready!" There was a creaking sound. The steel-string bow that was just issued is very easy to draw due to the modification of the gears. In the past, an archer would feel sore and weak after firing more than ten arrows, but holding the steel-string bow , but this number can be multiplied several times.
"Five rounds of elevation projection!" Luo Yi ordered loudly. Let the flag dance, like rain, long arrows shoot into the sky at forty-five degrees, and after flying to a high point, they fall like raindrops.
The Mayi cavalry group that charged them suddenly turned their backs. Soldiers without iron armor could not stop the thrown arrows from swooping down. The cavalry who came stepped on the noodles.
"Charge, charge! If you charge in front of them, they will only be slaughtered!" Liu Wuzhou didn't care about the loss at all. In his opinion, as long as he charged into the opponent's infantry group, the opponent's terrifying long-range attack would naturally lose its due value. power.
The 10,000 infantrymen in Youzhou kept their faces unchanged, as if they were not rushing towards them with more than 80,000 horses, but a group of fat sheep who came to die.
Liu Wuzhou personally led more than 30,000 cavalry and charged in front, followed by more than 50,000 infantry.
The more than 30,000 Mayi cavalry had increased their speed to the extreme, and soon they were a hundred paces away. At Luo Yi's order, amidst the sharp whistle next to him, the sharp spear tips of the first two rows were like a forest Leaning forward, the people behind dropped their steel-string bows, replaced them with fast crossbows, and fired another round of nine-shot fast crossbows. Hundreds of people from the Mayi army fell off their horses.
At fifty paces, Luo Yi said to the leader of the team of horse thieves next to him: "This
Brothers, it's up to you next. "
The leader of the horse thief nodded, and suddenly shouted: "Hundred crossbows, get ready!"
Amid the sound of the order, ten thousand Youzhou infantrymen lined up in ten rows suddenly squatted down, exposing the one hundred Baifa crossbow chariots controlled by the Baifa crossbow company behind to Liu Wuzhou's eyes.
"Shoot!"
The leader of the team of horse thieves gave an order, and the horse thieves in operation pulled the handle forcefully, and a hundred repeaters were fired at the same time.
At this moment, the sight of Luo Yi and the ten thousand Youzhou infantrymen was even blocked by the rain of arrows, and the continuous rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun. They forgot to launch the nine-shot fast crossbow from Fanyang County in their hands. This scene of horror and beauty made them lose their minds at this moment, and they all stared blankly at the densely packed, falling like raindrops. Iron Arrow.
A powerful spring is installed inside the Hundred-Fat Quick Crossbow, together with the Armor-Piercing Iron Arrow, if it is shot flat at a distance of fifty steps, the resulting lethal force is extremely terrifying, like cutting wheat, rushing to the front The Mayi cavalry fell down row by row, but the rain of arrows seemed to never end.
But in fact, each hundred-shot crossbow was only fired once, and after one shot, the leader of the horse thief shouted loudly: "Our work is done."
Luo Yi shuddered and shouted: "You idiots don't stand up yet, shoot with the crossbow in your hand."
The 10,000 squatting infantry quickly stood up, the two rows in front were holding long spears, and the eight rows behind were all using fast crossbows, each of them fired another round of nine arrows.
Liu Wuzhou did not die, because the soldiers around him surrounded him firmly at the critical moment, but at this time all the five hundred cavalry guarding him fell down, and then he saw that he was twenty steps away from him. There was no one alive outside. To be precise, the Mayi cavalry rushed to the front and ruled out Liu Wuzhou.
"This is not the frontier army of the imperial court, but Wang Junlin's people, otherwise how could there be so many terrifying weapons." This was Liu Wuzhou's last thought before he died, and then dozens of wounds were stabbed on his body in an instant. Only a crossbow arrow, that is, more than a dozen Youzhou infantrymen fired at him at the same time with fast crossbows in their hands.
