Xiahou Ba actually didn't think that the Han army would send troops. After all, it had been hiding for so long before, so I guess there would be no reaction this time. The turtle shrank just needs to guard his camp.

When the personal guards came to inform the Han army sent troops to attack, Xiahou Ba's first reaction was stunned and a little unbelievable. It was not until the personal guards told the news of the Han army's attack again that Xiahou Ba realized.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" His face darkened, and Xiahou Ba's eyes were a little excited. He had suffered humiliation in the Han camp before, but now he can finally take revenge!

He did not continue to rush the camp, and immediately led his troops to the gate, climbed the arrow tower, and looked into the distance, and saw a Han army lined up in an orderly manner slowly towards this side.

gap……

Among the younger generation of Cao Wei, Xiahou Ba was the most outstanding type and participated in many wars. But it was precisely because of this that after seeing the appearance of the Han army again, Xiahou Ba could more truly understand the gap between the two sides.

It feels like a mountain pressing down. Even if it is still a distance away, you can still feel the oppression brought by the Han army. At least in terms of momentum, it is difficult for the Wei army to be as uniform as the Han army.

The meaning of the formation in the era of cold weapons is not as simple as good-looking. There is no effective and fast way to transmit information. In order to command the military formation, it can only rely on the order flags, but it cannot be seen clearly when it is far away. It can only rely on the order sorting of the array and proceed according to the movements of the soldiers in the front row. In this way, the effect of the neat queue is reflected on the battlefield, which is to enforce orders. These four words are easy to say, but not many generals can be achieved.

Originally, Xiahou Ba had the intention to rush for a while, but now, after seeing the opponent's military formation, Xiahou Ba gave up this idea. Not to mention how many soldiers and horses the other party had, it was too late to arrange the array just in terms of arrays.

You can only rely on the existing camp for defense, which will have some advantages.

"Push the catapult cart over!" Xiahou Ba turned his head and gritted his teeth at the guard beside him.

"Here!"

The catapult carts brought by Xiahou Ba were the ones seized by Sima Yi during the Battle of Heluo, although more than ten years have passed, their power and range are still far superior to the catapult carts made by Cao Wei themselves. Not only these, many of the bows and crossbows in Cao Wei were also seized in that battle, and were also bought from Dongwu. After all, Dongwu was really short of money in order to develop Yizhou in recent years, but most of the military equipment bought from Dongwu are not as good as those seized directly from the Han army.

The Han army slowly approached, and it seemed that it was not in a hurry, but it had a spirit of crushing everything in it. Finally, it stopped at about two hundred steps away.

The Wei army's crossbows were not reachable at all. Seeing this formation, Xiahou Ba felt that it was not good. According to past experience, the range of Han army's bows and arrows was about 150 or 60 steps. At this range, the Wei army only had some sharp archers who could use five-stone strong bows to shoot, but it was not difficult to make such a bow, and there were not many archers alone. Now the opponent was lined up with another two hundred steps away, which was obviously preparing to release the arrow formation.

"Hand up the shield!" Although he felt a little incredible, Xiahou Ba did not dare to hesitate for a moment. With a call, the shield hand in the front row quickly raised the large shield in his hand.

"Buzz~"

Almost at the same time, accompanied by a sound of Weng's voice, rows of arrows rose into the air, not released at the same time, but were rhythmically shot out. In an instant, the sky seemed to darken.

Xiahou Ba looked up at the sky, but saw rows of arrows intertwined in the air and formed a dense rain of arrows, falling from the sky with the scream of death.

The scene was like the whole sky was falling down at this moment. Even though I had already prepared myself, at this moment, looking at the scene of the doomsday coming, Xiahou Ba's brain still had a brief blank.

"Bang bang bang~"

The dense sound of collision continued to sound, and clusters of arrows falling from the sky continued to fall on the Cao army's shield formation. Cao army's shield was specially modified for the Han army's sharp arrows. Not only was the wooden shield itself thicker, but at least two layers of cowhide were wrapped outside. Even with the sharpness of the Han army's bows and arrows, most of which were bounced away. Occasionally, one or two shots were shot in the gaps of the shield, tearing a gap in the dense shield formation.

The effect of the Han army's platoon shooting was also reflected at this time. If the gap cannot be blocked in time, the cluster of arrows following closely behind will quickly drill into the gap, expanding the results of the battle and expanding the gap.

At the beginning, the arrow formation seemed to be endless and endless. As time went by, dozens of gaps of different sizes appeared in the Wei army camp. Before the two sides had yet to catch the enemy, the other party had already beaten the Wei army with the arrow formation. Only a few were casualties, but the blow to morale was terrifying.

“Woo~”

The desolate horn sounded from the direction of the Han army, and the Han army in the front row began to continue to move towards this side, while the bows and arrows in the rear seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Ordinary archers, if they draw the bow about ten times, their strength will almost begin to lose and their range will begin to decrease. However, the archers of the Han army kept drawing their bows tirelessly, as if they were endless.

"Takes!" Looking at the Han army's formation, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and signaled the cattes to fight back. If he continues to fight like this, the Wei army may have to collapse before the official battle has been officially launched.

"Boom boom boom boom~"

Stone bullets broke out of the air with Xiahou Ba's order and bombarded the formation of the Han army fiercely. The Han army who was hit was instantly smashed into minced meat. The huge inertia brought by the stone bullet was at least four or five people affected, and it was quite good to be directly killed. Some of them had broken arms and legs, which made them scream tragic. They rolled on the ground in pain, screaming, and the Han army's formation also fluctuated.

"At most 30,000!" Sima Yi frowned and said, looking at the Han army's formation on the other side of the river, looking at the formation of the Han army.

There are also disadvantages to being neatly queued. If the enemy general level is sufficient, you can easily see your own number.

"Father, do you want to do it?" Sima Zhao looked at the situation on the other side anxiously: "Zhong Quan is probably not the opponent of this Han army, and he can't hold on for too long!"

Sima Yi was silent when he heard this. For 30,000 to 30,000, it didn't sound like he was not a good deal, but seeing the rigorous queue of the Han army and the terrifying range of bows and arrows, the real combat power was probably not equal. Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

It is too ideal to defeat Liu Yi in one battle. Liu Yi is not so easy to fool. If he can replace Liu Yi's soldiers one-on-one, then this battle will be considered as the Wei army taking advantage.

"Go to do it." Sima Yi sighed. The Han army has high quality, but the number is insufficient. On the other hand, the Wei army is taking the quantitative route, and the same quantity is consumed. In fact, the Wei army has the advantage. The opportunity to destroy Liu Yi in one fell swoop has been missed, and now we can only eat these 30,000 troops first.

Judging from Liu Yi's enthusiasm for the war during this period, Sima Yi didn't know when he wanted to catch Liu Yi and take the initiative to send troops next time.

"Here!" Sima Zhao nodded and agreed, and went to send an order. Soon, a wave of wolf smoke rose from the Wei army camp.

On the other side, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, who were watching the battle, soon noticed the wolf smoke rising from the Wei army and immediately ordered someone to notify Liu Yi.

"Jiang Wei!" Liu Yi looked at Jiang Wei and handed him a command arrow and said, "Remember the ship I prepared before?"

"Remember!" Jiang Wei nodded. When Liu Yi designed the river channel before, he specially built a batch of ships, which parked ten miles west of Mengjin.

"You immediately lead 10,000 elite troops there. As soon as the flood passes, the water will slow down slightly. I will immediately lead the army to cross the river by boat, kill as fast as possible, and capture Jiguan. There is no need to worry about the war here. Just take Hedong and use beacon as the quotation. If the beacon is won here, I will ignite the beacon. With the beacon together, you will take Hedong as the basis and advance to Bingzhou, west of Taihang Mountain. You can take as much as you can!" Liu Yi instructed: "You are in full responsibility for this team. I will serve you with the food and grass, so I will serve you without worrying."

"Here!" Jiang Wei bowed with excitement and took the order away.

"Others are on standby at any time!" Liu Yi looked at Deng Ai and others and smiled: "Don't worry, there are still some fighting in this battle!"

"Here!" The generals responded with a loud bang!
Chapter completed!
