Chapter 40: You Are the Pit
Woo woo woo -
In the Yuan army's array, the long and long horn sounded, hollow and slaughtering, as if it came from the roar of hell. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The battle flags are shaped like tumbling waves, and the endless sea of flags turns into rolling angry waves under the blowing of the morning wind.
The soldiers and soldiers of Yuan all clenched the blades in their hands, and the murderous aura rose to the sky, and the blades of the forest were like the fangs of death.
The forward troops of the 6,000 Yuan Army, under the leadership of Chun Yuqiong, were in a sensation, and dozens of phalanxes, large and small, began to advance steadily towards the Tao Shang Army with neat and heavy steps.
Six thousand people marched forward at the same time, and with each step in unison, the earth trembled, like an ancient beast sleeping underground, trying to break through the ground.
At the forefront, a thousand shields opened the way, like steel beasts, roaring, roaring and approaching the four thousand Tao soldiers who came to them, their nerves immediately tensed, and the palms of their weapons were soaked with sweat in a blink of an eye.
The potter could even hear their frantic heartbeats, or the thick ox-like gasps, and he knew that it was the nervousness that was spreading in the hearts of the soldiers.
The enemy was so strong and so powerful that it would be strange if it were not to be feared by half of the recruits.
The potter was as steady as Mount Tai, and his eyebrows were as calm as if he had ignored the powerful enemy in front of him, and he didn't even frown.
"Steady, give me steady, no one is allowed to break the formation without my order." The potter shouted.
His calmness infected all the soldiers, and their mood calmed down a little, and one by one they stood in place like old trees, watching the enemy slowly approach.
Fifty steps!
In a few moments, the enemy had approached to fifty paces.
Suddenly, the battle flag of Yuan's army waved, and the sound of trumpets and war drums suddenly intensified, and the order to accelerate the charge was issued.
"Soldiers of the Yuan family, the moment of glory has come, rush to the old man." Chun Yuqiong's sword slammed and shouted loudly.
"Kill—"
In the earth-shattering roar and shouts of killing, the Yuan army, which was originally advancing slowly, burst into battle when they heard the order, and rushed towards the Tao army that was close at hand.
The enemy had already split the formation, and the nerves of the four thousand Tao soldiers were instantly tense to the extreme, and they almost couldn't restrain their impulses, and the split formation rushed towards the enemy.
"Steady, give me steady, those who attack without permission will be killed!" The potter used his fierce drink to forcibly suppress the impulsive fighting spirit of the soldiers.
The surging enemy army has rushed to more than 20 paces.
In the middle of the enemy army, Yuan Tan's expression had returned to the elegance of a noble son, his fingertips dusted off the ashes on his shoulders, and he sneered: "It seems that tonight, we can drink in Yangdu City." ”
The words fell, and a loud sound like the sky and the earth suddenly sounded in front of him.
Just five paces before the Tao army's line, a trench two hundred paces long and five paces wide suddenly appeared, and the ditch was full of barbs.
The soldiers of Yuan who rushed up wildly, only cared about the charge, where would they have thought that there would be a pit under their feet, and when they were caught off guard, hundreds of people fell into the pit in an instant, and were pierced into meat skewers by barbs.
Blood splattered and screams soared into the sky, drowning out the drums and horns of the enemy army.
The follow-up Yuan Jun was shocked and panicked, and he was anxious to stop his pace, but Yuan Jun, who rushed up in the back row, didn't know what was happening in front of him, and he didn't have time to stop, and hit the front row of soldiers like dominoes.
In the blink of an eye, there were 1,000 Yuan soldiers, and before they could engage in battle, they were stabbed to death in the pit.
The rest of the thousands of Yuan troops were in a chaotic formation, blocked on the edge of the trench, pushing each other, unable to advance or retreat.
Looking at the chaotic situation of the enemy army, a sneer rose at the corner of the potter's mouth, "It is worthy of being one of the four great generals of the Warring States, General Lian, this pit you dug overnight can make Yuan Dagongzi miserable." ”
"The lord has won the award, the good show is still to come, cough cough ......" Lian Po coughed and gasped a few times, his face as old as tree bark, it was rare to squeeze out a little arrogance, and the battle axe in his hand was raised, and he shouted: "Beat the drums, and the crossbowmen serve the enemy." ”
Tom tom!
In the Central Military Department, more than a dozen cowhide drums shook the sky and issued orders.
In the front line, the sword and shield men in the front row immediately squatted, and the five hundred crossbowmen in the back row shot out the sharp arrows that had been gathering momentum for a long time mercilessly.
Whoosh!
Arrows were like flying locusts, overwhelmingly shooting out at the crowded Yuan soldiers.
Blood splashed in the air, screams were heartbreaking, and hundreds of soldiers and soldiers of Yuan were instantly hit by arrows and fell in a pool of blood screaming.
The Tao army crossbowmen on this side of the trench, after a volley, began to take turns to release arrows, raining like a dense front, harvesting the lives of the enemy one after another. At such a close distance, the crossbow has an astonishingly high hit rate, which is like a massacre.
"This kid is so cunning!" Yuan Tan's elegant face suddenly showed a look of anger.
Behind him, Zang Ba had also changed color, and said in a deep voice: "The last general said a long time ago, this potter is scheming, and he should not be underestimated, and the Grand Duke ......."
"Shut up!"
Yuan Tan snapped, glared at him angrily, his elegant and heroic appearance had recovered his nobility and pride in a blink of an eye, and said coldly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, pass the order to Chun Yuqiong, and the whole army will quickly form a fish scale shield array." ”
The order was passed down, the flag of the Chinese army was waved again, and the sound of the horn also changed.
The former army Chun Yuqiong heard the order, and while waving his knife to block the incoming arrows, he shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, don't panic, and give the old man a fish scale shield array." ”
Yuan Jun is an elite soldier in the end, the chaos was quickly suppressed, the front row of soldiers quickly half-squatted down, the one-person high shield, connected to each other, lined up into a shield wall, the back row of sword and shield hands, the round shield in his hand held high above his head, layer upon layer, like a layer of fish scales covering the top of the head.
In an instant, nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Yuan army were all wrapped in this impermeable shield array shaped like fish scales, and even if the Tao army's crossbowmen were close at hand, it was difficult to shoot through the enemy's shield wall.
"The Yuan family's fish scale shield array is really worthy of its reputation, no wonder it can be used to ride on foot and defeat Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry in a row." Looking at the invulnerable enemy army, the potter sighed and looked at Lian Po, "Old General Lian, arrows are useless, it's time for real knives and guns." ”
In Lian Po's old eyes, a fine light burst out, with a horizontal axe in his hand, and he roared hoarsely: "The lord is here to watch the battle, and the old man is gone." ”
With a low roar, Lian Po slapped his horse and axe, passed through the army, and galloped in the direction of the trench.
"Drumming, bridge-building." The potter raised his whip and drank.
In the Tao army's array, the sound of war drums also changed.
The soldiers on the front line of the trench received the order, the crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the infantry soldiers quickly dug out dozens of huge bridges buried in advance on the side of the trench from under the dust, shouted in unison, and rushed to the trench.
Bang bang bang!
In the huge muffled sound, the end of the bridge slammed on the top of Yuan Jun's head, crushing Yuan Jun's shield in the front row, shattering his flesh and bones, and the howl sounded again.
Almost at the same time as the bridge fell, Lian Po had already rushed to the horse, stepping on the bridge in the middle, crossing the five-step wide trench, the war horse kicked on all fours, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, stepping through the shield armor above Yuan Jun's head, and rolling into the enemy.
In the roar, the battle axe in Lian Po's hand stirred wildly like a grinding plate, and instantly slashed the five Yuan soldiers and even the shield and the people to pieces.
"Kill—"
The sound of killing rose to the sky, and hundreds of Tao soldiers and soldiers crossed the bridge and followed behind Lian Po, like an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards the enemy.
