Chapter 519: Fierce Battle

"Wei Xiaokuan has a good way of governing the army." Looking at the soldiers under the mountain, who were already roaring and charging despite the fact that the formation had been disrupted by the iron arrows of the bed crossbow, Cao Zhong couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

And before his words fell, the sound of whistling through the air also sounded above his head, and the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet smashed heavily on the hillside, and for a while the dust was flying, and several bed crossbows were directly hit by the trebuchet, although the wood was strong, but cracks inevitably appeared in many places, and even one was directly torn apart.

Not to mention those soldiers who happened to be hit.

At the same time, the crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou people also began to shoot arrows in retaliation, and the arrows spread to the rear of the Nanchen array, although the sword and shield men were trying their best to raise their shields to block the arrows falling from the sky, but after all, the arrows were dense, and the people were also standing densely, and there were constantly soldiers who fell from the arrows.

However, as the Northern Zhou soldiers rushed to the front line with wooden planks, the crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not dare to make another attempt, but only lined up on both wings, maintaining a certain distance from the Nanchen bed crossbow on the mountain, after all, no one knew whether Nan Chen had other equipment to defend the city, at least until now they had not seen where the trebuchet was, and they did not know if there were other bed crossbows that were also hidden.

For this hill that has been completely built into a death trap by Li Xinchen, Li Xun, who is in charge of commanding, pays attention to "being cautious", and then naturally presses step by step.

The planks were "banged" on the trench, and the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty led their troops to charge forward.

And as if in order to answer these already somewhat fanatical opponents, Nan Chen's generals and battle masters just waved their hands down coldly!

The shields parted, and the spearmen, who had been waiting for a long time, roared out. One by one, the spears were flattened and suddenly stabbed forward!

One by one, the spears were concentrated and stabbed towards the dense crowd, only to hear the screams endlessly, and for a while I didn't know how many Northern Zhou soldiers were pierced by the spears that suddenly stretched out. And after the spear passed through one person, it pierced the next person without a pause.

"For Da Zhou!" There was a loud roar among the Northern Zhou soldiers who rushed forward, and a famous soldier pushed the corpses of his own people in front of him to continue forward, blood continued to flow along the shaft of the spear, and the distance between the soldiers on both sides was getting closer and closer, and everyone was staring wide-eyed, eager to kill the other party with their eyes.

"Shield front top!" An order also came from the Southern Chen army, and a famous shield player pushed the big shield forward at the same time, pressing it against the flesh and blood of the Northern Zhou people. The spear was drawn at the same time, put away, and then poked out again in a neat slogan, piercing into the new flesh and splashing bright red blood.

As the shield continued to move forward, the Northern Zhou soldiers who had originally rushed through the trench were gradually pushed back, and some were even caught off guard and pushed into the trench. The Northern Zhou crossbowmen and trebuchets in the rear also began to exert their might, constantly pouring arrows and stone projectiles into the Southern Chen army's array.

"Go up, go up!" A Northern Zhou general kicked away the corpse in front of him and put his shoulder on the shield. The barbs on the shield hooked into his armor and skin, and the blood flowed, but the Northern Zhou general just gritted his teeth and did not retreat.

And more Northern Zhou sword and shield hands also came back to their senses, holding their shields and rushing forward, resisting the shield array pushed forward by Nan Chen. Spears continued to poke out of the gaps in their shields and stab into their bodies, but this time all of them only moved forward.

Face to face, face to face, forward!

The sound of swords clashing was endless, and the soldiers on both sides fought along the not open line, and everyone fell, and someone behind naturally took a step forward. The spear pierced mercilessly forward, the sword swirling and falling heavily with the wind, the blood rendering shields and trenches.

"Kill!" A Northern Zhou general slammed into a shield in front of him and rushed straight towards the two Southern Chen soldiers not far away.

"Block him!" The Southern Chen generals were a little flustered, but a row of spears came up in an instant, forcing the Northern Zhou generals to retreat. However, it was impossible for the shield that had fallen to the ground before to be raised again at this time, and more Northern Zhou soldiers marched forward quickly with sword and shield hands as the vanguard.

As one gap was opened, more gaps began to appear on the front.

"Mingjin, collect the troops." On the hillside, Cao Zhong decisively gave an order, "The crossbowmen shoot their feet and prepare to respond!" ”

Mingjin's voice was crisp, and the sound of Nan Chen's command continued, and the shield array began to shrink gradually, while the spearmen took a step forward at the same time, poking out their spears as much as possible to force the enemy back. At the same time, scattered arrows rose from behind the shield, and in an instant, they became dense.

These sudden arrows did surprise the Northern Zhou soldiers who were charging forward, but since they had reached this juncture, they had no reason to retreat, and directly pressed towards the retreating Nanchen army.

"Bang!" A loud noise suddenly came, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty looked up in panic, the stone bullet scroll came with the sound of the wind, and fell heavily into the crowd, and from time to time it smashed on the head of the person, and the whole person twitched, and saw that he was not alive.

For a while, there was a lot of chaos in the queue, and the Northern Zhou crossbowmen took the lead and began to slowly retreat, while the Northern Zhou sword and shield men who were originally charging also subconsciously slowed down.

Immediately followed by a roar, I saw that the orderly retreating Nan Chen soldiers gradually separated to both sides, and countless rolling stones slid directly down the hillside and pounced directly on people!

The stone slammed into the shield, knocking people away with momentum, and even those who were unsteady were knocked directly into the trench.

"Retreat, retreat!" The generals shouted at the same time, and at the same time, the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops also sounded in the rear, obviously Li Xun also knew that it was pointless to continue to charge against the rolling stones like this, knowing how the enemy would deal with it next, he could only think of a way to continue the attack first.

Although he knew how anxious he was in this battle, Li Xun could only move forward step by step.

The lessons of Wei Chi's attack can be placed there.

"This Li Xun is not an easy master to deal with." Cao Zhong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although the Northern Zhou army retreated in disarray, after all, all the deer barricades that Nanchen used as a barrier had been moved away and the trenches were almost filled, so Cao Zhong did not have the courage to send troops down the mountain to pursue. And the enemy's crossbowmen were also on both flanks all the time, ready to cross and suppress at any time, so Cao Zhong could only stare here.

In this battle, there were many soldiers and horses under his command, and it was too late to retreat······

Cao Zhong thought secretly, looking at General Li Xunqi, who was also slowly retreating at the foot of the mountain. This opponent is more stable than He Louzigan, who was in charge of the attack yesterday, but being stable does not mean that it is easy to bully, the more stable the person, the more accustomed you are to take a bite of meat when you are caught off guard.

Wei Xiaokuan used Li Xun, it seems that he has learned the lesson of Wei Chi Hui and wants to win steadily.

"Get into the second line of defense and defend tightly!" Cao Zhong turned around and ordered the deputy general, and then waved to the guards, "Go up the mountain with so-and-so!" ”
