On the city wall, seeing that the opponent's arm crossbow was so powerful three hundred steps away, shooting the Qin army into blanks one after another, Lu Chao's face was full of anger, "Is this the arm crossbow of the Eastern Expedition Army?"

"Yes!" Beside him, his father-in-law, the great Korean noble Gongsun Ying whispered: "The arm crossbow is a powerful weapon of the Eastern Expedition Army, with sufficient power, long range, and great lethality."

"We have also seized a lot of this arm crossbow from the Wei people, why can't we copy it until today?" Lu Chao glanced at his father-in-law coldly, and his dissatisfaction was evident in his tone.

Although he is an old Taishan, in front of this powerful woman In front of the son-in-law, Gongsun Ying really didn't have the demeanor of an elder. When Lu Chao glanced at him, his neck shrank and he whispered: "It's not that we didn't try our best, but it's really difficult. We have mastered how to make the arm-drawn crossbow seized from the Wei people, but the key is that our iron smelting and steelmaking level is not as good as that of the Zhengdong Mansion, and the compression spring we made is far inferior to that of the other party, so the force and distance are not as good as the original one made by the Zhengdong Army, and even worse than what we made ourselves, so we can only abandon it."

"Iron smelting and steelmaking?" Lu Chao said thoughtfully.

"Yes, general, speaking of this arm-drawn crossbow, it is not complicated to make. Compared with our Qin's crossbow The machine is simpler and easier to use in terms of component composition, but this key part is much better than ours. Even if we have skilled craftsmen, we can only sigh in vain if we can't keep up with the raw materials."

"Hateful Naba, his subordinates destroyed all the arm crossbows in the end, otherwise our army would have thousands of arm crossbows!" Lu Chao was very angry. From the distance of 300 steps to 200 steps, his army was completely passive and could only bear it. Many men were destroyed by these arm crossbows.

When they entered within 200 steps, the Qin crossbow machine began to fight back, and the two steel-like teams were shooting at each other, approaching each other step by step.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, all at the same time, so the rain of arrows stopped abruptly. The soldiers began to reorganize their formation at a very fast speed. Mei Hua looked back at his subordinates, then looked at the road that the Qin army had taken, and nodded with satisfaction. The young guards were all wearing plate armor. This thing was easy to wear, but the protection was extremely strong. When the feather arrows were shot at, they were basically bounced away. Although the iron helmets on their heads were ugly in style and smooth like a pot upside down on their heads, the layer of bamboo head guards inside greatly reduced the shock. The feather arrows shot at them would at most make people dizzy for a while. Looking at a member of the Qin army on the opposite side The general, probably of similar status to himself, was wearing a set of chain mail, which weighed at least 50 to 60 kilograms. At this moment, he was hung with a lot of crossbow arrows. Although the crossbow arrows did not break the opponent's armor, the blood on the armor was obviously injured.

"Zhengdong Army!" Mei Hua pointed his broadsword forward and roared.

"Victory!"

"Guards!"

"Forward!"

"Kill!" Amid the shouts, the blue team surged forward like a tide, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, advancing forward like a raging tide.

One blue and one black, finally collided with each other. There was no fancy, the shield pushed forward, the spear stabbed randomly, There is no place for you to dodge or move. Life or death depends on luck.

Mei Hua held the Mo Dao in both hands. On his left and right, two guards did not hold spears. One held a shield and the other held a saber, trying to block the spears in front of Mei Hua.

"Open!" Mei Hua exhaled and shouted. The Mo Dao weighing dozens of pounds chopped heavily on the shield in front of him. The shield in front of him, which was just a wooden board with iron sheets inlaid on it, immediately broke into pieces, wood chips flew everywhere, and the Mo Dao's remaining power chopped the two shield-holding Qin soldiers behind into four pieces, and blood splattered.

"Open!"

"Open again!"

Mei Hua waved his Mo Dao and rushed forward. He advanced step by step, opening a passage for his army, and cut down five rows of troops in front of him. The guards around him had been replaced three times. Behind him, the soldiers of the third battalion took advantage of his power and rushed in through the gap, deeply embedded in the inside.

The two armies fought, and the third and fourth battalions of the Eastern Expedition Army, which were at the forefront, took the advantage at the first moment. The most fundamental reason was that when the two sides were shooting at each other, the Eastern Expedition Army was advancing with casualties, and the formation was not scattered at all, while the Qin army paused for a moment to reorganize the formation. It was this slight pause that allowed the Eastern Expedition Army to seize the opportunity.

"Forward, forward!" Mei Hua roared and stood at the front of the team, sweeping his sword across the field, but the Qin army was fearless and rushed forward in waves. These Qin soldiers were all veterans, and they knew that if they didn't stop this brave general at all costs, they would not be able to stop the advance of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Mei Hua ran forward, but didn't move. When he looked down, a Qin soldier whose legs were cut off by his sword was lying on the ground, holding his right leg tightly with his hands outstretched, shouting hoarsely. At the same time, several Qin soldiers on the opposite side were holding spears in their hands and rushed towards him, stabbing him viciously with bloody spears.

The Mo Dao is a long weapon, but it cannot be turned back at this moment. Mei Hua can only dance with the Mo Dao with all his strength and cut off several spears that were thrust at him. However, the Qin soldiers who lost their spear points still attacked. He rushed forward and made several snatching noises. The gun shaft pierced the plate armor, which shook Meihua's chest and abdomen to the point of shaking, and she almost vomited out.

The guards on both sides rushed forward like lightning, swung their swords and chopped off the arms of the Qin soldiers on the ground. The swords fell across the arms, but the Qin soldiers were very fierce. At the last moment, they opened their big mouths and bit the plum blossoms in one bite. On Hua's calf, Mei Hua screamed in pain. The upper body had plate armor, but the two legs did not. This Qin soldier fought for his life before he died, and a piece of muscle on Mei Hua's calf was unexpectedly hard. The raw parts were bitten off by him.

"Damn wild dog!" Mei Hua jumped up, Mo Dao spun around in the air several times, chopped down several Qin soldiers who were rushing towards him, and then stepped down hard, knocking the soldiers unconscious from pain. The Qin soldiers who passed by had their heads trampled into a mess.

"Batalion Commander, you are injured, bandage it quickly!" a soldier shouted.

"Bandage your hammer." Mei Hua waved the Mo Dao wildly, "Go forward, go forward, kill these bastards."

The Young Guards moved forward step by step. The Meihua and Wu Ya battalions took the lead in breaking through, and the 1st and 2nd battalions on the left and right continued to follow up. Yang Dashu was dumbfounded when he saw that his side had gained the advantage on the battlefield, and immediately invested his troops in the division headquarters to continue to give the opponent Applying pressure, the input of these reserves immediately pressed the Qin army back step by step.

It's not that they want to retreat, but they have to retreat.

In the distance, Ye Zhen had a smile on his face, "The Young Guards are worthy of being the most powerful among all the troops in the Eastern Conquest Army." As a well-informed general, Ye Zhen has seen the capabilities of soldiers from various countries over the years. Qin The army has always been the well-deserved number one, until the emergence of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Ye Zhenxi smiled broadly, but on the city wall of Mashaping, Lu Chao's face turned black. This was a head-to-head confrontation between the most elite soldiers of both sides. There was no flashiness. He thought he would win a hand-to-hand fight, but he was actually killed. You have to step back step by step.

"Forward, forward!" On the battlefield, the shouts of the Eastern Expeditionary Army resounded everywhere. Although Ben Kuan tried his best to organize a counterattack, he pressed the gourd and raised the ladle. He had just stabilized the formation, and there was another attack there. He was beaten into a mess and saw that if he persisted, his opponents would kill him through the formation, surround him and destroy his entire army. He had no choice but to order a retreat.

The Qin army retreated in an orderly manner. A group of soldiers fought back and fought hard to gain more than ten steps of space for the soldiers in the rear. Those soldiers turned around and walked away, running very fast, without looking back at all. One glance.

Mei Hua, who was red-eyed from the killing, shouted and chased forward. The soldiers of the third battalion followed the battalion commander and rushed forward. Yang Dasha in the middle saw Mei Hua's team and almost caught up with the retreating Qin army. , but there was no joy in his eyes: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin, this bastard Mei Hua is looking for death!"

Mei Hua, who was charging furiously, heard the buzzing sound of arrows. When he looked up, locust-like arrows were shooting from the top of the city wall of Masaping. It didn't matter that he chased after him, but he caught the arrows on the city. Within the shooting range, it is so cheap, there is no reason why the defenders on the city should not take advantage of it.

Mei Hua yelled and hugged her whole body. She could only hear the tinkling sound. At this moment, she didn't know how many arrows were hit in her body. Her arms and thighs felt numb at the same time.

With a bang, his vision went dark, and the two shields closed in the middle, covering him firmly. Then two arms dragged him and ran backwards. This burst of arrows hit the soldiers of the third battalion. Shot down a large piece.

The two armies retreated at the same time. This hand-to-hand battle lasted for an hour and ended with a small victory for the Eastern Army. The Qin Army's cavalry roared out, and the Donghu cavalry who could not hold back Zaoyi also came from both wings, covering their own infantry. At the same time, the outposts also exchanged hands without ceremony.

Both sides lost dozens of horses each, and then slowly retreated while glaring at each other like chickens with black eyes, amidst the sound of golden cries from both sides.

Yang Dashu ran to the third camp like flying. When he saw Mei Hua, he raised his palm-sized hand and prepared to slap her down, but the palm was raised in the air and did not fall. Blood gushed out from his body, and five or six feather arrows were inserted into his body. Fortunately, they did not hit any vital points.

"You bitch, I'll mark this slap down for you first, and I'll settle the score with you later." Yang Dasha cursed fiercely, turned around and left.

In the canyon of Masaping, the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Ben Kuan lowered his head and huddled in a corner of the tent in shame. The soldiers he led were all veterans of the Qin army. In the war to conquer Korea, the soldiers were all blocked. Ten, the Korean army was defeated and defeated, but today, they hit the iron plate head-on, faced the Eastern Expeditionary Army with a similar number, and were defeated shamefully. With the military management skills of General Lu Chao, Yan, since he gave the order to win but was defeated again, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape after a single meal.

"The strength of the infantry of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is really unexpected!" Lu Chao's expression softened at this time, "General Ben Kuan, this is the first time we have fought against him. We don't know the details. There is a slight setback. Don't worry about it. Ben Kuan The general went to reorganize the army, boost morale, and then restore today's situation."

"Thank you so much, General!" Ben Kuan was overjoyed. This was the first time he saw Lu Chao showing mercy. He kowtowed heavily and turned around to leave the tent. In this battle, he had five thousand soldiers under his command. It was completely broken in half. (It’s a good pie-in-the-sky activity,
