Chapter 367: Kuizhou (2)

As soon as the sky dawned, there was already a commotion on the battle array. The Shu army really took Sanma Mountain, Guo Shao only felt that Wang Zhaoyuan was actually very thoughtful, not a particularly mediocre "Wolong".

As usual, a group of generals gathered in the Chinese army and met for the last time before the war. Guo Shao's martial arts are basically useless now, he never thought of going into battle in person, but he had to say a few words before the battle.

A few more people had just reached the camp gate. Guo Shao looked up into the distance, on the continuous hillside, between the black mountain shadow and the slightly white sky, those black spots should be the dense men and horses of the Shu army. There are also flagpole flags, which may be mistaken for tree shadows if you don't look closely.

Everyone turned their eyes to it. Guo Shao's spirit at this time was actually not very good, he just had a cold, and he didn't rest well for a while, and he was still a little dizzy early in the morning; But he can't be languishing at such times.

"You are all martial artists, we can only do this in this life, who wants to go home and farm?" Guo Shao said.

A group of generals laughed for a while when they heard this, and stood in front of Guo Shao in a mess, all of them were more casual at this time.

Guo Shao said again: "Since you have done this, you have to do it well!" The wealth of one's own family depends on the battle array, and the strength and weakness of the country also depend on the battle array. If you think it's better to occupy a position and be happy, look at what the soldiers of Shu are like now? It's time to show the prestige of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and make meritorious contributions! ”

He pulled out his sword from his waist, raised it above his head and shouted, "The Zhou army will win!" ”

"Victory!" The generals' expressions were awe-inspiring, and they all agreed.

Guo Shao ordered: "Go back to each battalion and deploy the battle as last night." ”

The crowd dispersed. Guo Shao took the reins, turned on his horse, and rode out of the camp with a team of horsemen, running in the middle of the various formations of the Glaive Array in front. While running his horse, he shouted: "Which one is the most elite and warlike of the Great Zhou Army?" ”

At this time, the tiger flag was fluttering everywhere, and the soldiers heard Guo Shao's shout, and responded noisily: "Tiger army, tiger army......

Guo Shao shouted again: "Let's climb over the mountains and climb here thousands of miles away, are we here to play?" ”

The men and horses in the large army swept by the war horses shouted one after another, and the shouts and noises on the battle array resounded, and the mood of everyone gradually rose. Guo Shao ran between the gaps in the phalanx, and kept repeating a sentence: "Which group of people and horses are greedy for their lives, and which group of people and horses are greedy for life and afraid of death, I will watch." The brave are reused, and the bag is eliminated! ”

In the midst of the commotion, the whimpering of the horn and the beating of the big drum gradually sounded, and Zhou Jun did not talk any nonsense, and soon began to move forward on the whole line. More than 10,000 people were on the uneven earth, and the glaive array was like a large black arc, surging forward slowly; Like a torrent of steel, slow but unstoppable.

Guo Shao asked the soldiers to go first, and then looked back at the slope called Sanma Mountain. He couldn't see the back of the mountain, but he already knew that it was Kuizhou in the past. Kuizhou is the throat of the east into the river, and the most important fortress in Shu is not one of them; Take Kuizhou, and the door of Shu will be opened!

…… On the broad front, at the forefront is Yang Biao's department, he led the First Army of more than 2,000 people, using the most elite infantry as the blade. The drums and trumpets on the eve of the battle had already sounded, but there was still a slight distance from the Shu army, and the commanders were marching forward together.

Now the crowd was silent, and in the dark and wet mist, only the metallic sound of tinkling plate armor grinding against the chain mail was left. Finally, a big man with an axe on his back next to him spoke: "General Yang, wait for me to rush to the front, I will definitely help you fall into battle, and General Yang will say a few good words for me......"

"Zhang Dutou!" Zhou Tong hurriedly drank him, "Whoever makes great meritorious service, General Yang will ask for merit for whom, does this need to be said?" ”

"Humph!" Yang Biao rode on a horse and carried an iron knife, pulling a fierce face and ignoring it.

The group silently continued to walk forward, and the sun had not yet risen. The fog on the ground was hazy, adding a bit of mystery that could not be seen clearly. Zhang Jiankui took out a piece of torn linen from his arms and wrapped it slowly around his right palm.

After a while, the shouting of the Shu army on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, as if someone was encouraging morale in the army, and bursts of shouts were rushing in the fog like waves. Yang Biao flipped off his horse and blended in with the ranks of infantry. Seeing this, Zhang Jiankui, Zhou Tong and others felt that Yang Biao was quite smart, and they also blended into the soldiers.

The banner of the Shu army was already faintly visible in the fog, and the hillside was crowded.

At this moment, Zhang Jiankui suddenly felt a slight weight on his head, and in a moment he heard the sound of "clanging" arrows hitting the iron. He reached out and put the visor on his face as well. There was a coughing sound behind the "cough cough ......", but everyone didn't speak.

Then he heard the sound of "fluttering" in the fog, Zhang Jiankui buried his head, and didn't dare to look up, the mask was the thinnest defense point. Although he said in his heart that he would not be so coincidental, he was afraid that he would be unlucky enough to be shot in the face. "Dangdang Dang ......" The crisp sound came from the heavy footsteps.

The crowd walked in formation, and no one returned fire with bows and arrows.

Suddenly, an arm-thick ballista flew into the air, and there was a thud, "Ah! A scream. A soldier was knocked to the ground on his back, holding his thigh and screaming in pain, "My leg ...... Broken leg ......"

Zhang Jiankui turned his head to take a look, only to see a large number of people and horses on the left and right wings slowly following behind, because of the influence of the fog, there was no head in sight on either side.

Yang Biao shouted: "Speed up the pace, if anyone retreats from the battle, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people!" ”

Already on the hillside, the first commander of the front army spread out a queue and became a phalanx of twenty rows in depth to attack upward. The two armies were less than fifty paces apart, arrows rained down overhead, and people in the front row were wounded from time to time, but the offensive of the heavy infantry forward of the Zhou army did not weaken in the slightest. The first three rows of bows and crossbows had been prepared, and they were just waiting to get close to a round of shocking Shu soldiers.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a drum was suddenly heard, and a large group of Shu soldiers on the hillside swarmed down.

Zhou Tong waved his sword and shouted, "Crossbow array!" ”

The small drum rang for a while, and after a while, the Shu soldiers rushed from the hillside, and they heard Zhou Tong shouting: "Release the arrow!" Suddenly there was a crackling sound, and the people on the hillside were rolling and crawling.

At this moment, the chaotic soldiers in front of the Shu soldiers were dispersed, and the dense infantry behind them rushed up quickly with swords and shields. The infantry of the Zhou army put away their bows and crossbows, drew their short weapons and faced the battle, and suddenly the clanging slashing and the shouts of people were chaotic.

The Shu soldiers were defeated, and the chaotic soldiers were scattered. Yang Biao and the others took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, only to see the dense phalanx with spears in front of them surging down again. Yang Biao glanced back and shouted, "Send someone to urge the men and horses on both sides to come up and protect our wings!" ”

"Kill!" Suddenly, he heard a saturation sound, and the man rushed forward with an axe. He grabbed a spear in one hand, lunged at his body, and swept across with one hand with a great axe, which was unstoppable with the strong wind. Those Shu soldiers with spears didn't even have anything to block after the fierce general approached, and suddenly "poof", an axe slashed a Shu soldier's shoulder with blood, and the momentum of the axe did not stop and slashed horizontally to the side of another person's head, and the helmet was afraid of being knocked off.

Seeing this, the Zhou soldiers in the back rushed up to reinforce the fierce generals in front. The spear stabbed on the breastplate "clanked", and the Shu sergeant didn't seem to have much strength, and he couldn't even pierce the plate armor, so he could only hit the dent, not to mention that there was chain mail inside. When the soldiers of the Zhou army approached with their swords, they slashed violently, and screams rang out in all directions.

"Ha yes......" Zhang Jiankui swung his axe with both hands and slashed it from above. The Shu soldier on the front looked up at the axe, he couldn't care about anything, and his face suddenly turned white. The infantry of the Zhou army in the middle immediately penetrated the spear array of the Shu army.

Yang Biao's hands itched when he saw it, and immediately beckoned to his own soldiers, and pounced on them with an iron knife.

A group of elite soldiers around him protected Yang Biao, Yang Biao was wearing heavy armor and fierce, and the heavy iron knife in his hand slashed left and right like wood. The central forward of the Shu soldiers collapsed.

More infantry on both flanks came up, and the battle in the middle spread in all directions.

At this moment, the sun gradually rose, and the light began to pierce the mist, and the scene between the earth suddenly became clearer...... The situation on the hillside is also becoming clearer, the combat forces are too far apart, it is simply one-sided.
