Chapter 196: The Demon King of Mianshi calls down three ways

"Your Highness King Qin!" Hou Junji quickly supported the shaking Li Shimin, and shouted in Li Shimin's ear with a slight sarcastic look: "Your Highness King Qin, wake up... Your Highness King Qin, wake up!"

As these dozen loud shouts sounded in his ears like thunder, Li Shimin's consciousness gradually became clear: "Hou Junji, hurry up... the back team turns into the front team..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Hou Junji said anxiously: "Your Highness of the King of Qin, Wang Shichong is a hero of a generation. If we cannot capture and kill him this time, if we retreat, it will be a dragon entering the sea and a tiger returning to the mountain, which will cause a great disaster!"

Li Shimin continued to wipe the blood from his hands and muttered in a low voice: "What does it have to do with me..."

At this time, Li Shimin was not Li Shimin recorded in later generations. He was just a 22-year-old young man. Although the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, the calf was knocked to the ground by tigers twice in succession, and he developed a cowardly mentality. Because of the role of Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, Liu Wuzhou was pacified more than a year in advance of the war in Hedong. This made Wang Shichong become vigilant. Although Li Shimin attacked six months earlier than history, Wang Shichong had nearly one year more preparation time. Wang Shichong in this time and space is stronger than Wang Shichong in history.

Hou Junji shouted: "King, you are the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. This is the hinterland of the Central Plains. Once Wang Shichong wins, the entire Central Plains will be destroyed. At that time, the imperial court's vitality will be greatly damaged. It will be a great blessing not to send troops to Luoyang and not be attacked by Wang Shichong and others."

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Wang Shichong's bed crossbow formation. These bed crossbow formations roared from time to time with their super lethality. They smashed the heavy shields on the Tang army's chariot formation effortlessly, and consumed kinetic energy on the body of the Tang army soldiers.

In the Tang army, the soldiers who were shot in the body by a gun and crossbow, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to die screamed one after another, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. The rain of arrows against the Tang army suddenly became sparse. Although the bow and crossbow had the advantage of speed, the range was a flaw. This was like a pistol and a semi-automatic step. If the distance was extended, the pistol would be tortured to death. But similarly, once both sides approached thirty or fifty steps, the archers could also teach the crossbow how to be a human being.

When the Zheng army infantry saw that the Tang army archers were hoarse or were suppressed by the bed crossbow, they dared not look up. The Zheng army soldiers roared and threw away their shields and rushed over! When they approached, after approaching more than thirty steps in front of the Tang army formation, they all shouted loudly, and two or three hundred guns were thrown out of their hands.

Although the guns were not as powerful as the bed crossbow, they could also nail the Tang army archers and bed crossbow shooters to the ground with no effort, and blood spurted, screaming in silence. The soldiers holding spears were getting closer and closer, and stabbed the Tang army soldiers who were not hit by the shotgun without any effort.

"What can I do now?" Li Shimin murmured.

Hou Junji didn't know how to deal with Wang Shichong's very ordinary formation. His military power was like a chess. In fact, under normal circumstances, no one was better than anyone else. However, Wang Shichong pulled out more than 200 bed crossbows, which was more than five times that of Hou Junji's troops. Most of the more than 40 bed crossbows of the Tang army had been damaged, and relying on more than 200 bed crossbows, he suppressed the soldiers of the Tang army tightly.

Li Shimin also slowly calmed down. He knew that the more at this time, he would be unable to be in chaos or panic, because he was the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. If he was defeated again in this battle, the Tang Dynasty would not only lose the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains, but also withstand Wang Shichong's attack.

Li Shimin ordered: "Release Da Tao up!"

Generals are soldiers. As the saying goes, generals are not afraid of death, why should soldiers be afraid of it? As long as officials are not afraid of death and generals are not afraid of death, even if soldiers are afraid, they dare not retreat. Because in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, the lives of generals or officials are nobler than them. Generals and officials will not retreat when they fight to the death. As soon as they die, they will still make a profit in the hearts of soldiers.

Although Li Shimin's Datao rose, the former fearless morale of the Tang army soldiers gradually stabilized. However, this did not change the situation on the entire battlefield, because Zheng army used the bed crossbow to suppress it at a long distance. As long as the Tang army organized a counterattack, the bed crossbow would definitely shoot the crossbow gun.

A shrill sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Cheng Zhijie subconsciously waved his horse spear and wanted to knock the crossbow gun away.

A golden sound of "clang..." sounded, and sparks flew everywhere. However, just as the crossbow gun was thrown, "crack..." Cheng Zhijie's horse spear in his hand was broken into two pieces.

Cheng Zhijie shivered with pain. The generals' weapons were usually made by themselves, just like Luo Shixin's steel gun, which is now a six-foot gun head made by Chen using high manganese steel. For example, Zhang Shigui's iron-tied bow was also built by Chen using spring steel for him, and a bow string was made of rhino tendon.

As for the mace that Asuna Smoo originally used, it had been recast by Chen Ying. At this time, Asuna Smoo used a square painting halberd, silver armor and white robe, carved painted iron-tied bow, which looked like Xue Rengui's dress in the Romance of Romance. Of course, this was Chen Ying's evil taste.

However, Cheng Zhijie's horse lance was inherited from his ancestors. It was created by his grandfather, Sima Chengzhe, Jinzhou during the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was expensive, time-consuming and complicated to build a spear. The chance of failure is high, and it consumes a lot of money. A spear and abandoned wood can make a strong bow. There are many things to pay attention to in the horse lance. The spear rod is not like an ordinary gun at all. The spear uses a wooden pole, but is made of the trunk of the top tough wood, peeled into uniform thickness, and glued together. The tough wood is the most used for bows, and then it is mulberry, oak, vine, and the worst is bamboo.

Soak the fine squid repeatedly with oil. The soaking is no longer deformed and no longer cracked. The first step is completed. This process takes nearly a year. After a year, take out the strips and dry them in the shade for several months. Then use high-quality glue paint to glue into a thick handful of 800 feet long (note, Han ruler), and wrap the outer layer with hemp rope. When the hemp rope is dry, apply raw lacquer and wrap it with kudzu. Raw lacquer on the kudzu, dry it and wrap it with layer after layer until it is cut with a knife. The spear rod makes a metal sound, but it keeps not cracking. This is the only way to be qualified. Then remove the head and tail and cut it to about 60 feet. The front is equipped with the head of the spear, and the red copper spear is installed. Continuous adjustments are made. The qualified standard is to hang a hemp rope two feet at the tail of the spear. The entire 80 horse spear can not fall or fall in the air like a scale rod. In this way, the general can hold the spear tip forward without any effort.

However, the entire spear took three years and the success rate was only 40%, so the cost was astonishingly high. It was a standard for children of aristocratic families. Cheng Zhijie's family was also in decline at this time and was no longer the same as before. When his grandfather Cheng Zhe built this horse spear, it took a hundred gold coins, which was only one thousand guan, which was almost ten thousand acres of a year.

However, no matter how good the weapon is, it has a durability. Cheng Zhijie's horse spear was originally an old thing, but now after high-intensity collision, he has long been overwhelmed, and as a result, he was naturally broken by a crossbow gun.

"I'll compensate me for my spear!" Cheng Zhijie's eyes suddenly turned red, and he was so angry that he screamed, but he didn't have any weapons in his hand. Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie's eyes fell on a large cart that was broken by Zheng Jun's bed crossbow, and the cart was placed with two wide-body axes.

This kind of big axe is actually not a weapon, it is just a tool for the Tang army's baggage soldiers to build bridges or log and camp when they encounter water. Cheng Zhijie didn't care about it. He was strong and he picked up a wide-body big axe with one hand and slashed at the Zheng army soldiers.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie, the demon king of the world, had a strong temper. He ignored it and slashed at the Zheng army soldiers in front of him. Cheng Zhijie was not stupid. Although his skills were good, he was not a enemy of ten thousand people. Once he faced the attack head-on, he could not defeat four hands with two fists. A good tiger could not resist many wolves.

Cheng Zhijie didn't care about his image, and was like a rolling gourd, rolling on the ground, with his two axes and bowing left and right, and greeting him three times downwards.

At this time, almost all the soldiers of the Zheng army were surrounded by the Tang army. The weapons in their hands were either spears or spears. Although they were one inch long and one inch stronger, everything was not absolute. For example, now, Cheng Zhijie held an axe in his hands and danced like a windmill, slashing down more than a dozen Zheng army soldiers one after another.

Li Shimin, who was at a loss, immediately had an idea when he saw this scene.

"Jumper, get on!"

When the Tang army went to war, it was divided into seven armies: middle, front, back, left, right, left Yuhou, and right Yuhou. Each army had crossbow soldiers, jumping soldiers (commands), surprise soldiers (reserve team), horse army, and baggage soldiers.

Li Shimin watched Cheng Zhijie as crazy as a crazy tiger rushing into the flock of sheep, killing the surrounding Zheng soldiers, and rushing to the wolf and pigs. In fact, Cheng Zhijie didn't know that he accidentally invented a new tactic.

In medieval history, the Macedonian Corps of the Macedonian Empire in Europe held a spear of more than seven meters long and beat the Roman Legion countless times. Later, under the command of the Roman Empire consul Bruce, the sword soldiers in the Roman Legion held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. They rolled to the spearmen of the Macedonian Corps with a shield, wielding their swords and stabbing them, causing the Macedonian Corps to death.

At this time, the Tang army jumped soldiers who learned the order, with one round shield and one horizontal knife, moving forward in a rolling direction. There is no way not to roll. The space above three feet is within the shooting range of the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow can shoot all the Tang soldiers of this height.

However, because the crossbow was flat, it could not deal with low targets below three feet. It could only watch the Tang army's jumping soldiers get closer and closer. The Zheng army's archers also desperately shot arrows at the Tang army's jumping soldiers. It was a pity that these flexible light infantry used shields to protect the vital points. Even if someone accidentally fell to the ground by arrows, more Tang army's jumping soldiers successfully rushed into the Zheng army's spear formation.

At this time, the situation of the Zheng army commander was exactly the same as that of the Macedonian soldiers who were rolled in front of the Roman sword soldiers in history. They were only killed, and hundreds or thousands of horizontal knives were slashed. These hateful Zheng army commander spearmen were cut into a mess.

More Tang army soldiers jumped over the horse with their bodies in their hands and joined the ranks of close combat. This small area suddenly turned into a Shura slaughterhouse with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Especially when Qin Qiong saw that Cheng Zhijie and his jumping soldiers killed the Zheng army's spearmen retreated step by step, he also stood up and joined the ranks of chasing Zheng army.

As the saying goes, a group of lions led by sheep cannot beat a sheep led by a fierce tiger. In fact, this is true. With the two generals Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, the Tang soldiers launched a sharp attack on the Zheng army. Faced with the continuous rushing towards the Tang army, the Zheng army commander quickly could not resist and threw down the body and fled. As for the Zheng army soldiers who were responsible for manipulating the crossbow, none of them escaped. They were either captured or chopped into meat paste by the Tang army.

The Tang army turned defeat into victory, and its morale was greatly boosted. Under the leadership of Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, they followed the defeated troops of the Zheng army and followed the pursuit and killed them all the way.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cheng Zhijie is really the only one who is the only one who is lucky!"
