Chapter 65: Survival and Death
Zhou Cang took a deep breath of cold air and looked at the western sky leisurely.
Before leaving, Li Tao had clearly told him that this time he would give the Huns a two-sided attack, taking advantage of the Huns' frustration and the disappearance of their spirits, the surprise soldiers stood out, and once again killed the Huns by surprise!
"Prepare for battle!"
Zhou Cang gave an order, and Liao Hua led two thousand platoons of soldiers to line up in formation in an instant, and waited for the formation.
In front of the battle, there was silence, only the heavy snort of the war horses and the heavy gasping of the soldiers could be heard clearly, and the air was filled with suffocating solemnity and depression.
"Drive!"
"Kill!"
The Hun cavalry surged forward, the sound of dripping horses' hooves intertwined into a suffocating mournful music, and advanced unstoppably towards the Zhoucang camp, and in only a moment, it had advanced to less than five hundred miles away from the Zhoucang front.
Zhou Cang's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Instigation!"
A messy sound of breaking through the air sounded, and rows of arrows shot out of the array.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Zhou Cang couldn't stop shouting, and the archers kept releasing their arrows, and in just a few moments, they finished shooting the feather arrows in the pot.
More than 1,000 Huns were shot by sharp arrows, killed or wounded.
The Huns rushed closer and closer, Zhou Cang turned around and looked at the only five hundred cavalry, he really wanted to lead the troops to rush out and do a big job.
But as the main general, he has to take care of the overall situation.
Now the war has just begun, and it is far from the time to use the elite cavalry.
In the Hun formation, Yu Fuluo had an indifferent expression and said in a deep voice: "The archers counterattack!" ”
"Brush!"
The Hun archers who were ready to fight, stretched their bows, stretched their strings, pointed arrows into the air, and tore their hands, and the whole set of actions was done in one go.
In an instant, thousands of sharp wolf tooth feather arrows burst through the air, making a piercing scream in the air, sweeping through the sky, flying in front of Zhou Cang in an instant, and then pouring down like icy killing raindrops.
"Huh?"
Zhou Cang's pupils contracted instantly, and he roared angrily in an instant.
"Hide, hide!"
The shield soldiers hurriedly erected their large shields and successfully dodged the counterattack of the Huns.
Without waiting for the Huns to enter the battle, Zhou Cang shouted loudly to Pei Yuanshao: "Old Pei, quickly take the magic arrow, let these dogs know how powerful we are." ”
"Arrows?"
Pei Yuan Shao paused for a moment, then his face turned happy, and he said loudly: "Okay! ”
Pei Yuanshao hurriedly took out five magic arrows and said to Zhou Cang: "Old Zhou, what do you know how to use this guy?" ”
The magic arrow in Zhou Cang's mouth was the cannon used by Zhang Feng to shock the Xianbei people last time, which was tied to the ordinary long arrow, and only these last five were left.
"The lord told me, this guy is just a little bit, I'll shoot arrows, you can do some."
"Good!"
In front of the battle, the Huns had already killed to the front, and the pikemen in the front row collided fiercely, and instantly fell down a large area, and the rear team of Huns, trampling on the bodies of their comrades, continued to surge up, trampling a large number of deaths.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were like rolling thunder, deafening.
At this moment, Zhou Cang bent his bow and arrows, staring at a Hun commander without turning his eyes, his eyes were murderous.
"Lao Pei!"
"In!"
"Ignition!"
"Ignition!"
"Whoosh!"
The arrow came out of the string and stabbed straight at the commander.
"Smack!"
A crisp explosion sounded, and the commander fell in response, rolling off his horse directly, wailing.
In the Xiongnu array, the riots suddenly broke out, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Lao Pei!"
"Fire!"
"Bang!"
There was another explosion, and the Huns began to mess up their formations and be afraid.
After the five magic arrows were fired, the turbulent Huns became panicked.
The fear of the unknown permeated the hearts of the Huns.
……
The desolate and low trumpet sounded again, and the Huns came and returned like a tide.
Only in the open space in front of the battle, thousands of horizontal corpses, clearly showed that there had been a fierce battle here just now.
The Huns' attack was stubbornly repelled by Zhou Cang, and although the Han army suffered heavy casualties, the position was finally held.
"Poof."
Zhou Cang threw the big knife aside, violently exhausted like a tide, sat on the ground, panted and said, "Lao Pei, Liao Hua, we won." ”
The tug-of-war began, and on the third day, the Huns completely had the upper hand, Zhou Cang and others were in danger, and Zhang Feng's cavalry did not even see a shadow.
The sky was bright, and the last peaceful night finally passed.
After the Huns, Yu Fuluo frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "This Zhang Feng is really calm!" Until now. Still not moving? ”
Liu Bao and Ah Gui glanced at each other, with the same solemn expressions.
Liu Bao said awe-inspiringly: "Maybe something has happened among the Han thieves!" ”
Yu Furo said in a deep voice: "What can happen? Infighting? Or wait until the big camp is captured, and then ride out, so what's the point? If he loses the camp, Zhang Feng's 5,000 men and horses will become rootless trees, after all, it will be difficult to last long, and he will not be able to go out suddenly, and he will not be able to consume it, except for the destruction of the whole army, will he have any other way out? ”
Ah Gui on the side snorted, and said angrily: "His grandmother, Zhang Feng, this stinky boy doesn't know what tricks he does, will he not be in the big camp and suddenly come in from the periphery?" ”
As soon as Ah Gui said this, Yu Fuluo and Liu Bao's faces turned cold at the same time!
In fact, Yu Fuluo saw through Zhang Feng's plan to hide from the sky and the sea, Zhang Feng's 2,000 cavalry was not in the camp, but to Yu Fuluo's surprise, at this time, Zhang Fengdi's cavalry still did not move, could it be that Zhang Feng really planned to abandon these horses?
Zhoucang Camp.
"Get up."
"."
"Lie on the ground and stand up."
"Grab your knives, boy."
Liao Hua scolded all the way, walked all the way through the camp, and woke up the soldiers lying all over the ground one by one.
By the time the soldiers opened their sleepy eyes and got up, the loud sound of trumpets and agitated war drums outside the city had already resounded, after a full night's rest.
The hateful Huns once again formed a neat formation and drove out of the camp.
The first day of the camp.
The Huns were shocked by Zhou Cang's magic arrows, and they were caught off guard by killing the Huns, and they received a full load.
After that, the Huns changed their offensive strategy, using crossbow arrows to strike continuously, and then supplemented by small-scale guerrilla attacks to consume a large amount of resources stored in Zhoucang.
The next day passed quickly in a skirmish battle.
Today is the third day of the siege of the Huns!
The aura of danger was filling the air endlessly, and the military general's intuition was constantly warning Zhou Cang that today, the Huns would launch the most fierce and final offensive!
"Here it is, here the again!"
