Chapter 320: The Great War Begins

The green hills are covered with snow and are covered with snow on the distant horizon.

At the foot of the mountain, in the snow, Jincheng, which was full of the banners of the five families of Bian, Han, Li, Ma, and Yan, was standing lonely, silently staring at the Xiliang coalition troops that were hundreds of miles away.

"Woo woo ......" the desolate and majestic horn, undulating endlessly on the vast snow.

The snowy land covered in silver is now occupied by two groups of densely packed soldiers, and thousands of horses' hooves rumble, like an invisible sledgehammer, striking the earth fiercely and knocking on people's hearts.

The roar of the men and horses when they marched along with the horn was like a thunderstorm, which sounded frequently, which made people's blood boil, and a little panic and fear in their hearts.

The sky was still sprinkled with snowflakes, gently perched on the leather armor of the soldiers of the two armies, and their bare skin was frozen to iron blue. Such a cold climate should not have used troops, but the two sides have already been working hard to fight each other at this moment, and no one can care so much.

"Gong Jin, what do you think we have a chance of winning this battle?" On the command platform built high, Mu Shan was raising his eyes to look at the two pitch-black torrents under him, although he was relying on the camp and set up a defensive formation, but most of the soldiers shrunk their necks, and the hands holding weapons were trembling slightly, and they didn't know if it was because of the cold climate or the fear in their hearts.

And the rebels on the opposite side, clearly present four geese marching arrays, four big bags are erected in the distance, Shangshubian, Han, Yan, Li, although the banners are colorful, do not belong to each other, but most of the people and horses are strong, when they advance, not only singing and roaring all the way, but also the weapons in their hands are still rhythmically beating the shield, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Comparing the morale and military spirit of the two sides for the first time, Mu Shan was worried, but also secretly glad that he had left Xiuniang and Sima Yuchen in Shuishen Village with his incomparable wisdom before.

"There is a way to be vigorous, exhausted, and declining, at this moment, the rebels are in full swing, and the momentum is naturally overwhelming, but how long can this state last?"

Mu Shan followed Zhou Yu's eyes, swept over Zhang Wen, whose face turned pale from iron to pale, and understood that Zhou Yu was worried about his face, so he responded with the wrong words: "Yes, as long as the enemy's attack is blocked, it will be our turn to counterattack at that time." ”

"Lord Che Rider, the soldiers are in danger, so leave it to me to deal with it here!" Huangfu Song glanced at Zhang Wen lightly, and then strode forward and shouted loudly: "Order the standard-bearer, wave the red blazing tiger flag, send an order to Sun Jian's department, and set up a formation on the periphery, and be sure to contain the charging momentum of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" The other ministries are standing by in place, but there is a half step back, slash! Those who talk in private, slash! ”

The red flag was like fire, and a lifelike tiger jumped back and forth in the fierce wind, with the dance of the flag bearer, and the majesty was awe-inspiring.

"Jiangdong Tigers, the backbone of our army was shown in the first battle, is it ......" Mu Shan looked at the army that poured out of the camp like a rushing river below, and couldn't help but have some objections to Huangfu Song's decision in his heart, just wanted to say that he was a little hasty, but when he thought of the order he issued before, he really didn't dare to try his military art with his body.

"The first battle is related to the morale and fighting spirit of our army, if it is scattered by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, then it will become a situation where the whole army retreats, so the first battle must not be lost. In the whole army, the only one who can take on this great task is the strong army brought by General Sun Jian from Jiangdong and has been tempered and baptized by war. ”

"Boom ......" When Zhou Yu explained, the enemy's iron cavalry had begun to accelerate, and thousands of cavalry ran together, the formation was so magnificent that Mu Shan was dumbfounded, and his heartstrings seemed to be pulled to the extreme, as if he would be completely shattered in the roar of the opponent's iron cavalry in the next moment.

The snowflakes on the ground kept jumping up under the vibration of the iron horseman, which was as vast as the raging waves of the sea, and even the command platform standing at this moment seemed to have become a thin woman who was devastated in the cold wind, shivering.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps......

Mu Shan silently calculated the distance between the two sides, until when the enemy's iron cavalry entered the range of Sun Jian's army's bow and arrows, he saw a sky full of arrows, densely packed, like locusts crossing the border, flying away.

"Good ......" In anticipation, the situation of people turning over on their backs did appear, and the smile that Mu Shan had just sprung up on the corner of his mouth froze again as the enemy's iron cavalry gradually approached.

Some of the cavalrymen who were shot in the key and fell off their horses naturally could not escape death, but some cavalrymen who were only shot in the shoulder and thigh had awe-inspiring blood and fierceness. They didn't even snort, they pulled out the arrows on their bodies, pulled the strings with their bows, and shot towards Sun Jian's troops.

Although he had long heard of the fierceness of Xiliang Tieqi, Mu Shan did not expect that they would be so brave.

"Array!" Sun Jian's roar, in his strength, also carried a trace of trembling, presumably he did not expect that the enemy's iron cavalry would be so elite.

"Hold on!" Sun Jian took the lead in picking up a shield more than half a person high and firmly held it on the snow, and then Sun Ce superimposed the shield in his hand on Sun Jian's shield, and the other soldiers also neatly arranged the shield array, and built a steel wall in a moment to stop the enemy's overwhelming arrows.

Is it finally going to be hard?

Extraordinary eyesight allows Mu Shan to see everything below clearly, but because of this, Mu Shan is more worried and frightened than others. The rushing war horse, its own impact power, coupled with its weight of more than 1,000 catties, and the soldiers who immediately slashed and killed with all their might, that majestic force could not be stopped by ordinary soldiers.

"Bayonet!" As if a tiger roared in the roar, countless spears flashing with cold cold light stabbed out from between the cracks in the shield wall, and the tips of the spears reflecting the cold sunlight made Sun Jian's formation like a huge hedgehog, coldly meeting the fangs of Xiliang Tieqi.

The "hiss ......" spear pierced the charging war horse from different angles, and in a moment it knocked down the cavalry who rushed to the front, and in the roar and scream, it once again met the Xiliang iron cavalry that followed one after another in the rear. Some of the cavalry that had broken through Sun Jian's shield formation also quickly disappeared under the combined attack of four or five soldiers, and the gap that had been opened was blocked by other soldiers in the blink of an eye.

Although Sun Jian's troops were backed by the Zhaimen, the other three sides were still in danger under the impact of the opponent's iron cavalry. The archers who were pinned on high hopes, standing on the wall of the camp and having a superiority of sub-zero, were still suppressed by the enemy's soldiers who were skilled in cavalry and archery, and it was difficult to exert their due killing effect.

Under the enemy's cyan flag with the word Li written on it, an ordinary-looking young man shouted faintly to the herald beside him: "Javelin!" ”

And as his order was given, a rapid and sharp horn sounded in the field, and the other troops in the distance, who were not subordinate to each other, hesitated for a moment after hearing the horn, and then also responded.

"Whoosh ......" a little bit of cold light, dense as a cow's hair, with a high-pitched scream tearing through the sky, from all directions, like rain.

......The javelin, infused with the enemy's full strength, pierced through Sun Jian's soldier's shield one after another with the incomparable penetrating characteristics of arrows.

The cavalry, who tasted the sweetness, immediately gave up the rampage of play, circled around Sun Jianjun, and used the impact inertia of the horses to constantly project the javelins in their hands, harvesting the lives that were extremely cheap for them.
