Chapter 751: The Trap of Cannibalism
The rain of arrows on the stone wall immediately poured out, drawing arcs in the air and attacking Sima Jun.
Sima Jun's attack is naturally led by the shield soldiers, at the forefront of the team, is a battle formation composed of shields, although the advance speed of the shield soldiers is relatively slow, but the defense is extremely powerful, Sima Shi launched the first attack, naturally to be safe.
Countless arrows pierced the shield, making a heart-wrenching "fluttering" sound, if there was no shield protection, this sound would probably be the sound of arrows penetrating the body, right?
However, although the Sima army erected countless shields, it could not do everything, and the state army used the method of projectile instead of flat shooting, and many arrows fell on the top of Sima Jun's head, so that even though most of the soldiers of the Sima army were holding shields, there were still many arrows that passed through the defense line and took people's lives.
As he walked, the soldier who fell down must have been shot by a stray arrow, but overall, Sima Jun's losses were not large, probably only a few dozen people were killed, and it was about to advance under the stone wall, and it was worth paying such a small price.
Du Yu looked at the stone wall and sneered softly, Sima Shi sacrificed such a turtle shell attack, thinking that he had a plan, but he didn't know that there was a greater danger waiting for them in front of him.
At the beginning, almost all of them were archers, firstly, the range of bows and arrows was longer, and secondly, Du Yu also wanted to paralyze the Sima army with archers, so that they thought that the Bingzhou army could defend with a shield with such a little means.
I don't know, Du Pre has arranged more powerful killing moves in the back, waiting for them.
Seeing that the stone wall was getting closer and closer, and the density of arrows of the Bingzhou army was increasing unabated, the soldiers of the Sima army at the forefront were under tremendous pressure, and if they were not careful, they were likely to be injured by a sudden stray arrow, and their lives would be whimpered.
If you want to save your life, you have to be mentally up, use your shield to protect your front and head, and don't dare to relax for a moment.
However, their attention was on the front and above their heads, naturally ignoring the danger from their feet, Sima Jun, who was at the front, walking, suddenly fell under his feet, and even people with shields fell into the pit.
These pits are simply covered with a layer of leaves or thatch, and then sprinkled with a layer of soil to hide the pits.
But in fact, this kind of hiding is relatively rough, the difference between the new soil and the old soil is visible to the naked eye, and most of the top of the pits are also uneven, if you look closely, it is easy to find these pits.
But now Sima Jun's attention is not at his feet at all, so as soon as he enters the pit area, many people in Sima Jun fall.
The pit was still relatively deep, at least one and a half people high, and the bottom of the pit was densely filled with spikes, and Sima Bing, who was the first to fall into the pit, would not have a way to survive at all, and would be pierced through his body by countless spikes.
The soldiers who fell into the pit let out bursts of screams, which caused chaos in the ranks of the Sima army, and everyone was in danger, worried about whether there was a trap ahead.
In fact, the damage power of the pit is limited, at most a pit can kill a soldier, and even if the back one falls in, there is a front bottom, and it will not cause any more damage.
But it was precisely because of the existence of these traps that the rhythm of Sima Jun's offensive was completely disrupted, and there was a lot of confusion in the originally orderly team.
And the crossbowmen who had been waiting on the stone wall for a long time were waiting for such an opportunity, and when they saw that someone in Sima Jun had fallen into the pit and the formation was in chaos, the crossbowmen made a decisive move, and the dense rain of arrows poured towards Sima Jun like splashing ink.
Hundreds of repeating crossbows were fired at the same time, which was definitely a terrifying and suffocating scene, coupled with the bows and arrows that had been constantly firing, forming a death fan on this half-mile-wide battlefield.
It is precisely because of the effect of the trap that Sima Jun cannot focus on one aspect, and at the same time take into account the above, below and in front, I am afraid that it is beyond his strength, and the dense arrow rain is terrifying, even if Sima Jun has a shield, it is difficult to deal with it, as long as there is a little gap, those crossbow arrows will take advantage of the void and shoot through everything mercilessly.
Sima Jun couldn't stand it, and retreated in embarrassment, leaving hundreds of corpses on the battlefield, some people fell in the pit, some people were crawling on the edge of the pit, without exception they were shot to death by bows and arrows, and some people died even more miserably, and they were shot alive like hedgehogs.
The first attack was a fiasco, Sima Shi's face was a little unbearable, in his opinion, such a simple pass, as long as Sima Dajun launched an attack, it was not captured?
But it backfired, and the first wave of the attack was hit by a blow, and Sima Jun lost hundreds of people, but he didn't even touch the edge of the stone wall, and this battle was a bit too bad.
Zhong Hui said calmly on the side: "Don't worry, the failure of this attack is not due to the improper command of the eldest prince, but the treachery of the Bingzhou army. I thought that the eldest prince would still send troops to attack again, as long as he paid more attention to his feet. In addition, the state army has strong bows and arrows, and we have to send crossbowmen to suppress it and cover the infantry assault. ”
Sima Shi followed his words, he had always trusted Zhong Hui's suggestion, and Sima Jun took a short break and immediately threw himself into the second wave of attacks.
This time the attack Sima Jun became more cautious, not only taking care of the front of their heads, but also keeping an eye on their feet to see if there were still pits waiting for them.
If you improve your concentration, there will be no more embarrassing scenes like the first wave of attacks, and this time Sima Jun's advance is slower, but it is also more stable.
In addition, in order to suppress the archers of the Bingzhou army, Sima Shi followed Zhong Hui's advice and arranged a large number of archers to stand at a distance of one stone's throw and shoot wildly at Shimen Pass.
Because of the cover of the stone wall, the archers of the Sima Army did not do much damage to the Bingzhou army, and the purpose of their archery was only to suppress the Bingzhou army, if there was no such suppression, the archers of the Bingzhou Army were almost unscrupulous, and now there was one more opponent, even if they attacked, they would take it into account, so the arrows shot were much inferior to the first round in terms of density and strength, and also gave Sima Jun a lot of respite.
It was precisely because of this cover that Sima Jun stepped over the corpses of the soldiers in front of him and finally advanced under the stone wall.
