Chapter 0819 - Stalemate

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Fluffy ......"

On the way of the Wei army rushing towards the Han army, the rain of arrows covered it like locusts.

The Wei soldiers who were sent out to test the Han camp screamed one after another, and clumps of blood burst out on their bodies and fell to the ground.

Many of them wore only cloth armor.

The long arrow that fell from mid-air pierced the body directly.

Fresh blood seeped into the garment, dripping drop after drop, moistening the land.

I wonder how many plants and trees will grow luxuriantly because of their flesh and blood in the spring of next year?

After the rain of arrows, the Wei army finally rushed to the front of the Han army.

They were greeted by a line of rejected horses.

Wei Jun shouted, holding spears, hook guns, etc., trying to push these sharp objects away.

It's just that the Han army behind the rejection of the horse can not let them get their wish.

I saw that the spear poked out from the gap in the rejection of the horse, and many Wei soldiers could not dodge and fell to the ground one after another.

"Shield!"

Captain Wei had red eyes and shouted loudly.

Soon, Wei Jun ran over with a big shield.

"Whoa!"

The rejection of the horse is crumbling.

"Come again!"

Although Feng Yong had an engineering battalion specializing in civil engineering, after all, it was only half a day and a night, and it was already a miracle to be able to build such a camp.

This kind of rejection can only be regarded as a temporary hasti, not very strong.

After the Wei army suffered a number of casualties, they finally broke up the rejected horse after repeated collisions.

"Rush!"

Seeing that a gap had finally been opened, Captain Wei was overjoyed, raised his sword and shouted, and took the lead in rushing in.

A long arrow slammed into his throat.

The eyes of Captain Wei, who was still alive just now, suddenly lost their brightness.

A hundred paces away, in the formation of the Han army, a general of the Han army wearing a hideous ghost mask was putting down the longbow in his hand and muttering:

"Just your name!"

The captain fell to the ground suddenly, and the Wei army had the most successful charge today, but it was defeated, and it was once again counterattacked by the Han army and forced out of the camp.

Cao Zhen, who was in the main account, received the news, but a smile appeared on his face.

According to his thoughts, he has enough troops on his side to test the Shu Lu army formation, and under his own turn of impact, he can always test the weakness of the Shu Lu army formation.

But judging from the news fed back from below, this Shu Lu Army Formation Committee is really strange.

No matter where you attack from, you will encounter the exact same resistance.

In this case, there are only two possibilities.

One is that Feng Thief can know where he is attacking from in advance.

If Feng Thief only had two or three thousand people in his hands at this time, it would still be possible.

But at present, there should be nearly 20,000 people in Shu.

With such a large military formation, he couldn't even look at his own military formation.

And how can you see in advance where you are attacking from?

So there is only one possibility left.

That is, his formation is a circle formation.

The circle is a defensive formation that looks hard to break, but is actually the most bulky.

It's like a turtle that can only be beaten passively, but there is no way to attack.

Once it is breached, there is no chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen laughed, and finally ordered:

"Mingjin retreats."

Although there were many casualties today, it was worth it.

On the second day, watching the resumption of the Wei army's attack, Guan Ji suddenly said:

"Cao Zhen is going to mobilize the cavalry."

"Assault?"

Feng Yong subconsciously touched his arms, and then remembered that the treasure worth 500,000 yuan was in Guan Ji's hands, so he had to stretch his neck and look at the other side.

I saw that the opposite side was still as crowded as yesterday, dense, black and pressing, boundless, and there was no end in sight.

Nothing else can be seen other than this.

So Feng Junhou glanced at his mother-in-law: You let me take a look!

Unexpectedly, Guan Ji didn't even glance at him.

He didn't notice Feng Junhou's eager expression when he wanted to see it.

Thinking of the telescope that was hacked by the old demon Zhuge , Feng Junhou was even more depressed in his heart.

Guan Ji held up the binoculars and looked at his wings, but found no signs of the Wei army charging into battle.

It made her a little weird.

"It's really a rush horse, Cao Zhen seems to be directly letting the rush ride charge head-on."

"He's crazy?"

It's not impossible to let the assault directly attack the front, but that's on the premise of using foot soldiers to consume the enemy, and then look for an opportunity to tear through the enemy's position.

Yesterday was the trial formation, and it stands to reason that today should be a formal battle between the infantry of the two sides in a certain direction of the military formation.

This kind of contest is, to put it bluntly, a war of attrition.

What is fighting is the strength of both sides, as well as the will of the soldiers.

Because of this consumption, many times it is not just a day.

Rather, it lasts two or three days, three or four days.

For a long time, even a month.

Like the Battle of Hanzhong that year, it was fought for two years.

So a battlefield like this, where there are tens of thousands of armies on both sides, is put into cavalry at the beginning.

Either one side has already grasped the initiative on the battlefield, or it is an iron man who easily wastes the most valuable combat force on the battlefield.

Cao Zhen is not an iron man, at least not at all.

The turquoise cavalry did not go into battle immediately, and the first to come up were still expendable foot soldiers.

Wave after wave of Wei troops poured up, filling in the trenches that the engineering battalion had re-dug at night, and pushing away the last antlers in front of the battle.

Finally, there was more and more billowing yellow dust in the distance, and finally it was cloudy and obscured.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves gradually became clearer, and the drumbeat like a storm quickly amplified in the Han army's hearing and vision.

Guan Ji's expression finally became solemn.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Although the turks were shot down by two waves of arrows, the rest continued to rush forward without delay.

"Raise your gun!"

Tall spears are raised.

"Enter!"

The cavalry of the Wei army faced this Rulin spear, gritted their teeth, lowered their bodies, and clenched the halberd or spear in their hands.

The two sides collided violently, stirring up a blood-red sound.

The turks had a great impact and a halberd and spear in their hands, although the front row died tragically under the spear.

But the spears of the Han army also broke apart.

The Modao Battalion has developed to the present, and after a lot of actual combat, it has improved a lot compared to the beginning.

The spear team, the ring knife team, etc., are all configured.

This impact of the Wei army's sudden cavalry, before the Modao team came on the field, it had already been consumed by the spear team.

The Hu cavalry in the Han camp soon spread out, swimming around from both sides, occasionally chasing the Wei cavalry who wanted to flee back.

But soon, the second wave of Wei cavalry rushed up.

The intensity of the battle on the second day far exceeded Guan Ji's expectations.

This made her clench the telescope in her hand.

Fortunately, there are treasures like Ah Lang, otherwise I am afraid that I will be caught off guard by Cao Zhen today.

Guan Ji was rejoicing, but Cao Zhen was starting to get irritable.

Throughout the day, he mobilized a large number of troops, concentrating on the same position in Shu and constantly attacking.

On several occasions, it was clear that he could have messed up the front camp of Shuyu, but for some reason, the soldiers who rushed into the formation were finally driven out again and again.

This feeling is like seeing victory is just around the corner, just a little, just a little bit.

But this point is always slipping out, which makes people really depressed.

At night, Cao Zhen couldn't sleep, so he went out of the camp to inspect.

However, although the morale of the soldiers has not decreased, compared with the previous few days, the spirit of victory is gone.

It can be seen that today's casualties, after all, still have some impact on the soldiers.

"Da Sima, why don't I wait for tomorrow to rest for a day and then fight?"

Guo Huai suggested.

"No way!"

Cao Zhen categorically refused, "Now the morale of our army is acceptable, thinking that Feng thief, he came from afar in a hurry, and fought fiercely for two days, he must be much more tired than us." ”

"Let this group of soldiers go down tomorrow, and then transfer the battalion behind to come up and charge the battle again."

The match on the third day was still exactly the same as on the second day.

Looking at the military formation of Shu on the opposite side, it was always almost broken, and victory was just around the corner.

But the soldiers who rushed in were driven back again and again.

The military array set up by Feng Thief was like a huge wheel, constantly rotating, throwing out everything that wanted to join it.

Obviously, I always break through again and again, but I can't see the final breakthrough.

No matter which direction he chooses, Shu Yu always seems to be prepared in advance, and always waits there before himself.

It made him feel constrained.

So Cao Zhen began to become a little irritable: Could it be that there is a meticulous work of Shu in our army?

But it shouldn't be, even if there is a fine work, it is impossible to send a fine work in every battalion, right?!

The reason why he chose to raid Longyou in October was naturally considered.

Because Longyou must have snowed in November.

As long as you can enter Longyou, it doesn't matter if you can defeat Longyou's Shu Lu or not.

The important thing is that you can establish a foothold in Longyou.

Only until the end of October or November, as soon as it snowed in Longyou, the Shu captives in Hanzhong could not send a large army to reinforce Longyou.

The two sides can only truce and fight again when the snow melts in the spring of the next year.

Then Great Wei can take advantage of the truce, strengthen defense, and regain a foothold in Longyou.

Unexpectedly, the Feng thief on the opposite side was actually faster than his own movements, and directly attacked Anding.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen couldn't help but scold: Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun are two vertical sons!

One was captured alive, the other surrendered the city, and Anding was occupied by Feng Thief at the fastest speed, completely disrupting his plan.

Because he could go north to Xiaoguan along the Jiazhong Road, he cut off Feng Thief's back road.

So in the same way, if you don't care about the Feng thief who has already occupied the stability, as long as you enter Longyou from Wangxian, Feng Thief will definitely go south along the middle road and threaten Wangxian.

When the time comes, there will be danger in the back road.

Now that he led the army north, cut off the return route of Feng thief, and forced him to come, thinking that he could break it in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect it to become a stalemate situation.

If the Feng thief is not destroyed, it will be difficult to get down.

When Cao Zhen thought of this, he couldn't help but be indignant.

So he organized the elite soldiers at hand into ten teams, and took turns to attack the Shuyu camp every day.

This is not the only thing that makes Cao Zhen irritable.

Because a batch of grain and grass that should have been delivered from Wangxian County was not delivered on time.

This time, he led the army from Huangxian County in a hurry, and there was not much grain and grass belt.

In addition, Huangxian County is already heavily armed, and there is a lot of grain and grass accumulated, so you can send grain and grass in batches, so you don't have to worry too much.

But if the grain and grass are not delivered on time, it is a felony at such times.

"The last general is guilty, Da Sima, this time in the middle of the road, a thief appeared out of nowhere to attack the grain road."

"The batch of grain and grass that the last general was responsible for transporting was attacked by night and almost all of them were burned."

The general of the Wei army, who was in charge of transporting grain, was completely black, and even the black ash on his face was not wiped off, and he cried to Cao Zhen with tears in his eyes.

Cao Zhen, who was waiting to lead the army to fight the Feng thief again, looked at this guy who rushed over overnight, and only felt that a wave of anger was about to erupt from his chest.

"Where did the thief come from in the middle of the road?"

Cao Zhen asked sharply, holding down the hilt of the sword with his right hand, almost unable to suppress his impulse, and directly cut off the person's head.

"The last general doesn't know. I only know that these thieves are extremely tough, which is not comparable to ordinary thieves. Strong bows and crossbows, long arrows and heavy arrows, extremely powerful, I'm afraid it's not shallow. ”

Cao Zhen was already extremely annoyed, but when he heard the words "long arrows and heavy arrows", his heart was sudden.

These days...... There are a group of thieves in Shu on the other side, isn't it just a long arrow and a heavy arrow?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked people to bring up two arrows.

These two arrows, one for bows and the other for crossbows, both came from Feng's army.

In the past few days, once the cavalry foot soldiers in the army are hit by such arrows, they are all armor-piercing through the body, unless they are armored soldiers in the army, it is possible to stop them.

The format is different from that of ordinary arrows.

When the grain transport officer saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Yes, yes, yes! That's what it is! ”

"That thief, not only is he good at sneak attacks, but he also came prepared, and he actually brought oil, which will make the rocket ......"

Oil? Rocket?

Cao Zhen remembered all kinds of rumors during the Battle of Longyou, gritted his teeth at the moment, and finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Feng thief!" ”

He finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, drew his sword, and slashed out directly, the cold air swept through the hairline of the grain transport officer, making him tremble, and hurriedly lay down: "Da Sima spare his life!" ”

"Come, give the order to go down, let the soldiers have a full meal tomorrow, and raise an army to attack the camp!"

Although he didn't know how Feng Thief sent someone to the back of the middle road, Cao Zhen understood a consequence.

If this batch of grain and grass can be burned today, then a batch of grain and grass may also be burned tomorrow.

The longer he drags on here, the greater the pressure on the supply of food and grass for the army.

Knowing that Feng Thief had a partial division threatening his grain channel, Cao Zhen now had only one thought, that is, to break Feng Thief as soon as possible and capture Xiao Pass.

Then the army was reorganized to consolidate the Guanzhong defensive line.

As for whether you can cross Longshan in the end, everything depends on the will of God.

"Is Cao Zhen crazy?"

Even Feng Feng Junhou, the mascot of the army, could sense that the Wei army's charge was different from the previous days.

In the past, they chose the central government to make a breakthrough, but now they are pressing the whole army and charging in an all-round way.

This is a clear attempt to fight a bad battle and use the number of people to drag down one's own side.

If he fights like this, even if he can defeat himself, he is afraid that he will not have the strength to climb over Longshan.

Because of this style of play, it takes a lot of time just to rest and recuperate after the war.

Guan Ji's brows also furrowed, and after a while, she slowly exhaled:

"Ah Lang, it's time for Erlang's armor to prepare to attack."
