After the explosion, a large cloud of thick smoke seemed to have fallen from the sky, billowing smoke and dust shrouded the city walls, and the clouds slowly spread in and around the sky in the wind. The war horses in front of the Zhou army's camp hundreds of paces away were panicked, and the camp was in turmoil.

Heaven and earth were shrouded in the echo and shock of "rumbling". In a few moments, the drums beat loudly in the camp of the Zhou army, and a somewhat messy horse team could not wait to rush out of the front and rush forward...... As for what happened after the explosion of the ** buried in the ground, no one knows, the smoke is too thick.

Zhou Jun did not approach the explosion point in advance, one might expose the location, and the other was afraid of accidentally injuring his own people. The loud explosion alarmed the horses, and the team of men and horses who rushed out first seemed a little hasty and impatient, because every flick of the finger was too important at this time! A slight delay will give the defenders more time to prepare.

And the large group of people in the camp was reorganizing the queue, and there was a lot of shouting and shouting. It was useless for too many people to rush over in a hurry, and before the war, the Chinese army judged that the gap would not be too big, and no matter how many people approached in the early stage, they would not be needed.

Guo Shao stood on the horse with his sword, and watched the situation with the people around him. There was turmoil in the camp, drums and shouts were endless, and flags were swimming and fluttering in the sea of people; The two groups of people who are far apart have already rushed towards their respective goals!

The scene was tense and chaotic, but it was orderly, and each conductor was doing his own thing. The shouts of the soldiers and the shouts of the generals made the atmosphere in the vast land outside the city urgent.

The atmosphere was most tense in the moments before the sharp clashes. Guo Shao didn't do anything at the moment, and didn't say a word, silently paying attention to every subtle atmosphere around him.

The grand scene is beyond the control of any one person at the moment of the outbreak, it is like a wild horse that will run wild in the direction it should be! But at the beginning, Guo Shao held the initiative, from premeditation to timing, as if the points and rules before the explosion of the universe originated from the Creator.

Guo Shao knows that his decision-making will cause many people to die and many families to change their fate. He stared at the crowd that had already rushed to the city wall, and said silently in his heart: As long as there is a war, people will die, and it is all worth it!

…… In the depths of the smoke of the explosion, the light dimmed, as if rushing into a cloudy dusk. But the sunlight in the sky pierced through the smoke like an arrow, proving the truth of the sunny day at this time.

Visibility was low, and the horse's speed of running slowed down. The person in front of him covered his mouth and nose with his hands, breathing carefully, but he still coughed.

A dark shadow came into people's sight, and in the middle of the regular and neat shadows of the city wall, a gap only about six or seven steps wide appeared in front of them. In fact, it was not a gap, but a pile of ruin-like dirt mountains, and it was very high! But that section of the city wall had indeed collapsed, and the wall more than ten steps thick, the thick stone foundation and the rammed earth did not take off and blew up, but collapsed downward, and most of the earth and stones were piled up in place.

The horses at the front had already rushed to the ruins, and the horses were gone, and the whole horse team was like a flood rushing to the ramparts, and all of them were blocked. The progress of the edge came to an abrupt halt!

The subsequent commander also saw the situation clearly, and he immediately shouted: "Order, as soon as the horses stop, all dismount and take their weapons!" ”

There is no way to go on a horse, of course you have to dismount; Therefore, the commander immediately issued a military order without thinking, which is not superfluous. At this juncture, people are nervous in their hearts, and their performance is not at all comparable to their usual calm and cleverness...... When the commander is a pawn and a low-level general, he has been like this for a long time, and he has a lot of experience. At this time, as soon as the familiar military generals give orders, coupled with the thousands of training to obey military orders, everyone will obey the orders of the peak without thinking; Everyone knows what to do, and there will be no chaos!

Sure enough, everyone dismounted one after another to prepare weapons, and none of them ran around.

It was only then that the commander was nervous and anxious. In fact, he was also a little confused...... It's just that he can't faint!

He remembered the military order that the Chinese army had asked him to repeat: first, to send troops into the city as best as possible, and second, to stabilize the position and open the gap. For other acts, the commander has the right to make decisions on the spot!

The commander did not dare to hesitate, even if it was not the best military order, it was better than not saying nothing. At this moment, his words are military orders that everyone must follow, and one person has the final say, unless he dies, the deputy commander will have the right to speak!

"Rush forward! Anyone who retreats can be killed! The commander shouted.

"Kill! Kill ......" The person in front suddenly shouted and desperately climbed up the mound. But it soon became clear that the heads were shaking in the smoke, and the Northern Han army had already poured up...... Obviously, the Northern Han army was prepared to bomb the city, and the Zhou army ran for hundreds of steps on horseback, and the Northern Han army had time to reinforce as long as it was prepared.

On the mound, many spears stabbed downward, and the soldiers stabbed backwards with force and their upper bodies forward, and a large number of people swooped down from above, and some even rolled down.

The Zhou army held shields and one-handed weapons in front, including single knives, hooks, hammers, etc., which could not block the dive of pikemen. For a time, the iron spear attacked the Zhou sergeant first, and the place where the short soldiers met "clanged". However, as soon as the Northern Han army met the enemy, they did not please it, and after they swooped down, the formation was chaotic, and they stumbled under their feet, and many people directly crashed into the depth of the Zhou army's crowd, almost becoming a one-man melee. At the place of contact, the Zhou army fought more and fought less, and many people around a Northern Han sergeant smashed and slashed.

"Ahh Ah......h Splashes of blood were masked by smoke.

As if struggling in the mud, people rushed up the dirt slope desperately, and the people behind shouted "Kill!" Those who retreat ......"

The soldiers of the Zhou army shouted loudly and rushed to the crowd of the Northern Han army, the sword and shield were relatively short, and they could not attack the Northern Han army without taking the initiative to rush. The people in front of them held their shields and waved their knives to chop, but they didn't know what they had chopped, but they only heard the screams of the crying father and mother. The soldiers of Zhou were also screaming, it was difficult to move on the ground, there were people all around, there was no way to dodge at all, the spear was stabbed only with the torso, and a shield could not block many attacks.

The iron spear head was violently pierced on the plate armor, most of which were not pierced, but it would pierce the iron armor deeply, and the pain made Sergeant Zhou scream, plus everyone actually had fear in their hearts all the time, and the shouting was even more ghostly at this time! If the weapon had been stabbed out of position, with great force, it would have slid over the iron armor, and in the dull and turbid air, it would indeed be a spark; The sound of metal rubbing against it is so sour that people's teeth are soft!

An injured soldier of Zhou fell to the ground with weak hands and feet, and was immediately trampled on by various feet, so painful that he shouted desperately, but he couldn't get up, and the person on his body was two hundred pounds, and it was difficult to stand up again.

"Fight to the last drop of blood! To fall is to die! A ten-general yelled at the top of his voice.

The gap was only six or seven steps wide, and the Zhou soldiers and horses who took the lead in rushing were 500 people, and the road they climbed was extremely difficult to walk, and the upper part was blocked by the Northern Han army, and the advance was blocked, which soon caused congestion; The people in the gap position are getting denser and denser.

At this moment, only the sound of "swishing ......" was heard, and the arrows in the air were thrown down like raindrops, and then "clanged" down like hailstones, and from time to time there was a cry of pain.

The team on the Zhou army's side was a little confused, and the commander raised his head and shouted: "Bow and arrow......" Before the words fell, suddenly a branch flew from the smoke, and the "bell" shot a layer of chain mail on his neck, and the force penetrated through the thin iron ring, and the arrow cluster pierced his neck!

The commander didn't scream, his eyes widened and he fell back, and the blood in his mouth came out with saliva.

"General Lee! General Li ......: "The generals and personal soldiers around him hurriedly went up to help him.

The commander's feet kicked on the ground a few times, and the face of Zheng Bin, the deputy commander above, appeared, and his hand covered the commander's neck. The commander gripped the scabbard tightly and raised his hand. The deputy commander, Zheng Bin, hurriedly grabbed his sword scabbard and asked urgently, "General Li wants to hand over the military power to me?" ”

The commander closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and let go of the hand that grasped the sword.

Zheng Bin took the sword, gritted his teeth and glanced at the person who was being held up, stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Commander General Li, let this commander be controlled by me, deputy commander Zheng Bin!" ”

Zheng Bin clenched his fists, frowned, completely ignoring the arrows flying on his head, and after a while, he said loudly: "Order!" No retreat before the formation; Those who are five steps after the front line, immediately trim the offensive ramp! ”

He continued to order: "Down the hillside, the generals of the various armies drive the soldiers to the sides to get out of the way and reorganize the formation!" Archers gather in the center! ”

Where the short soldiers in front of each other, people estimate that they can't control what orders are given to the upper peak, and the sergeants in front and behind are huddled together, and the two sides are desperately fighting to the death, there is no way forward, and there is no way back! It was like an asura field, and the people's screams were terrible.

However, the men and horses who did not fight in the back regrouped one after another, gradually restored order, and the battle began to stalemate, and it was no longer possible to break through with a morale; This is where organization and tactics are particularly important.

In the distance, there was another horse team of the Zhou army jogging up to reinforce it, and the reinforcements were no longer a group of people and horses, although they were riding horses, they did have a clear queue and advanced in an organized manner. At present, a group of heavily armored personal guards are not just a commander, but the commander of the Sixth Army on the right side. The general personally went into battle, and he needed to go to the front line to supervise the battle and maintain order in front of the battle.

The Northern Han army also gradually came to its senses, and on both sides of the collapsed gap, a large number of troops were reinforced on the city wall, and they reached the top of the gap, shooting from it with bows and arrows, wood and stones, and throwing dense Zhou soldiers and horses. The forward of the Zhou army was attacked from three sides, but it still did not collapse and continued to recover the organization. The ability of elite men and horses to resist pressure is gradually more prominent than that of ordinary armies.
