Vol 2 Chapter 631: Time is up

Xia Houba didn't actually think that the Han army would send troops. After all, the turtle had shrunk for so long before. This time, there must be no reaction. The shrinked turtle only needs to keep his camp.
When the guard came to report that the Han army sent troops to attack, Xia Houba's first reaction was stunned, somewhat unbelievable. Xia Houba didn't react until the guard re-told the news that the Han army came to attack again. come.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Xia Houba looked a little excited in his eyes. Before being humiliated in the Han camp, now he can finally get revenge!
Without continuing the camp, he immediately led the soldiers and horses to the gate, boarded the arrow tower, and looked towards the distance. He was seeing a neat line of Han troops slowly walking towards this side.
gap……
Among the younger generations of Cao Wei, Xia Houba was considered to be the most outstanding and participated in many battles, but it was for this reason that after seeing the military capacity of the Han army again at this moment, Xia Houba could truly appreciate the gap between the two sides.
It feels like a mountain is pressed down, even if there is a certain distance away, it is still possible to feel the sense of 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 queues and formations in the cold weapon era is not as simple as good-looking. There is no effective and fast method of information transmission. The command of the military formation can only rely on the command flag, but it ca n’t be seen clearly when it is far away. The order of the array is based on the actions of the soldiers in the front row. In this way, the effect of the neat queue is shown on the battlefield. That is to prohibit the line. These four words are easy to say, but there are not many generals who can do it.
Originally, Xia Houba also intended to rush for a while, but now, Xia Houba gave up the idea after seeing the opposing military formation, not to mention the number of opposing troops, just in the array, he is now too late to form an array .
You can only rely on existing camps for defense, which will have some advantages.
"Push the catapult!" Xia Houba turned his head and gritted his teeth at the guard around him.
"Hello!"
The catapults brought by Xia Houba, but the batch seized by Sima Yi during the Battle of Heluo, though more than a decade ago, no matter the power or range, they still far exceed the catapults made by Cao Wei. Many of Cao Weizhong ’s bows and crossbows were also captured in that battle. In addition, they were bought from Dongwu. After all, Dongwu was really short of money to develop Yizhou in recent years, but most of the military equipment bought from Dongwu It is not comparable to seizing directly from the Han army.
The Han army's formation slowly approached, it seemed not to be anxious, but it had a crushing spirit in it, and finally stopped at a distance of about two hundred steps.
At this distance, Wei Jun ’s crossbow was simply out of reach. Seeing this battle, Xia Houba felt uncomfortable. According to past experience, the range of the Han Army ’s bow and arrow was about 156 steps. At this range, Wei Jun had only a few A sharp shooter who can shoot a five-stone strong bow can shoot it, but it is not difficult to make such a bow. Only the archer can't find a few. Now the other party is out of the line by two hundred steps, obviously preparing to release the arrow array. Posture.
"Erecting the shield!" Although it felt a little weird, Xia Houba didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and with a cry, the shield man in the front row quickly raised the big shield in his hand.
"Om ~"
Almost at the same time, with the sound of Weng Ming, rows of arrows rose into the air, not released at the same time, but rhythmic rows shot out, and in an instant, the sky seemed dark.
Xia Houba looked up at the sky, but saw rows of arrows intertwined into a dense arrow rain in the air, and with the scream of death, fell down from the sky.
That scene was as if the whole sky had collapsed at this moment. Rao was already mentally prepared. At this moment, looking at the general scene of the end of the day before his eyes, Xia Houba's brain still appeared a short blank.
"Bang Bang Bang ~"
Dense impact sounds continue to sound, and the arrow clusters falling from the sky continue to fall on Cao Jun ’s shield array. Cao Jun ’s shield is specially designed for the transformation of Han Jun ’s arrows. Not only is the wooden shield itself thick, but at least two layers of cowhide will be coated Rao is the sharpness of the bow and arrow of the Han army. Most of them are bounced off. Occasionally, one or two shots will follow the gap of the shield and tear a gap in the dense shield formation.
The effect of the Han army's volleyball fire was also manifested at this time. If the gap could not be blocked in time, the arrow cluster immediately following the rear would quickly penetrate through the gap, expanding the results and the gap.
At the beginning of the arrow array, it seemed to be endless and endless. With the passage of time, dozens of gaps of varying sizes appeared in the Wei army camp. The two sides have not yet met the enemy. The other party has lifted the Wei army with the arrow array. At first, the casualties were only a few, 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 move towards this side, and the bow and arrow at the rear did not seem to stop.
The average archer pulls the bow about ten times, and his strength almost begins to fail, and his range will begin to decrease. However, the archers of the Han army seem to tirelessly continue to open the bow, as if never ending.
"Catapult!" Looking at the Han army's formation, Xia Houba gritted his teeth and signaled the catapult to counterattack. If we continue to fight like this, Wei Jun might have yet to formally engage in the battle, so he would have to collapse.
"Boom ~"
Stone bombs came out with Xiahouba's order, and bombarded the formation of the Han army fiercely. The hit Han army was instantly smashed into meat emulsion. The huge inertia brought by the stone bomb, At least four or five people were affected, and it was considered good to be directly killed. Some had broken arms and broken legs. They were called tragic, and they rolled and screamed on the ground in pain. The Han army's formation also fluctuated.
"Up to 30,000!" Sima Yi frowned as he looked at the Han army's position across the river and on the high platform.
The queue is tidy and has its disadvantages. If the level of the enemy general is sufficient, you can easily see the number of your own.
"Father, do you want to do it?" Sima Zhao looked at the situation on the other side anxiously: "Zhongquan is probably not the opponent of this Han army. He can't hold on for too long!"
Sima Yi heard silently, 30,000 for 30,000, it does not seem to take the advantage, but seeing the rigorous queue of the Han army and the terrible bow and arrow range, this real combat power may not be equal, Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, silently Nodded.
It is ideal to break Liu Yi in a battle. Liu Yi is not so easy to fool. If you can replace the soldiers under Liu Yi one by one, then this battle is still considered Wei Jun to take advantage.
"Go ahead." Sima Yi sighed. The quality of the Han army is high, but the quantity is insufficient. In contrast, the Wei army is taking the quantitative route. The same amount is consumed. In fact, the Wei army has the advantage. The opportunity to destroy Liu Yi in one fell swoop has been missed. Now I can only eat these 30,000 soldiers first.
Judging by Liu Yi's enthusiasm for the war during this time, Sima Yi didn't know when to wait for the next time Liu Yi took the initiative to send troops.
"Hello!" Sima Zhao nodded and promised to go to order, and soon, a burst of smoke rose from the Wei Jun camp.
On the other side, EbookFREE.me ~ Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, who were watching the battle, soon noticed the rising smoke in the Wei Junjun and immediately ordered Liu Yi to be notified.
"Jiang Wei!" Liu Yi looked at Jiang Wei and handed him a commanding arrow: "Remember the boat I prepared before?"
"Remember!" Jiang Wei nodded. When Liu Yi designed the river channel, he specially built a batch of boats, and stopped at the place where Mengjin was ten miles west.
"You immediately lead elite soldiers to 10,000 there. As soon as the flood passes, the water is a bit slow, and immediately lead the army to cross the river by boat, kill it at the fastest speed, and capture the Jiguan. The war here does not need to be controlled, just take down Hedong. , Take the beacon as the number, if this wins, I will ignite the beacon, and the beacon will be together, you will take the Hedong as the base, enter the state, west of Taihang Mountain, take as much as you can! "Liu Yi asked:" This branch You are the sole responsibility of the man and the horse. The logistics and logistics will be delivered to you without worry. "
"Well!" Jiang Wei bowed with excitement.
"Others are on standby at any time!" Liu Yi looked at Deng Ai and others and said with a smile: "Relax, this battle, there are still fights!"
"Hey!"
