Chapter 4 024 Meeting on a narrow road
"Hey, hell, let's go in and see what they're doing, it's so hard to cut some firewood, what else can you expect from them," Cao Zhen threw the last few dead branches next to his feet into the fire, and ordered the soldiers left and right, he didn't expect the enemy army to ambush him halfway in the freezing weather, he just thought that those soldiers were grinding in the woods and were lazy
Without waiting for a few of Cao Zhen's personal soldiers to take the order, a row of crossbow arrows was shot out of the forest, and Cao Bing was caught off guard, and more than 100 people were knocked down on the spot, and without waiting for those Cao soldiers to react from the shock, the crossbow arrows continued to shoot out of the forest
"The enemy attacked the enemy general, and we were ambushed," General Cao Junbiao was the first to react, and he raised a shield and threw Cao Zhen to the ground, roaring loudly
"Zi woo zi" crossbow arrows flew over Cao Zhen's head, taking away the lives of one Cao soldier after another, the weather was too cold, Cao Jun's soldiers were frozen stiff with their hands and feet, and their bodies were not so flexible
"Raise your shield, raise your shield, and shoot the archers back," Cao Zhen ordered in a loud voice as he lay in the snow and crawled towards his blade
"The general's bowstrings are all damp," shouted one of the archers, as soon as he drew his bow, and found that the string was no longer strong, and hurried there
"Change the strings, change the strings, what are you doing sword and shield soldiers, you hurry up, go up and win time for the archers to change the strings," Cao Zhen climbed to the place where he put his blade, pulled out his long knife, and raised a small shield, stood up and yelled
In the forest, Zhang Fei was leading his soldiers to move their hands and feet so that they could meet the enemy in a short time, and the partial general who commanded the crossbow and kept shooting found the general of the Cao army who was standing up straight and was directing the attack of the Cao army, and immediately ordered the soldiers to launch a concentrated fire attack on Cao Zhen, who was wearing fine armor
"Zi woo zi" Hundreds of crossbows instantly adjusted their direction and shot the remaining crossbow arrows in the box towards Cao Zhen
"Drink," Cao Zhen didn't know that he had become the target of the enemy, he didn't pay attention, he screamed in pain, and was shot to the ground on the spot, except for his head and chest covered by a shield, and everything else was pierced by crossbow arrows
The "general" left and right generals saw that Cao Zhen was seriously injured, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect him with the shield regiment
"Don't mess with the sword and shield in front of the bow and arrow," Cao Zhen endured the pain and passed out with his head crooked
"The sword and shield are pasted in front and fight with them," General Cao Jun pulled a piece of felt and wrapped Cao Zhen tightly, and then ordered in a loud voice
"The enemy rushed over, and the crossbow shot them over," Zhang Fei rubbed his hands, which were already slightly sweaty, and ordered the soldiers in a deep voice
"Bend down and raise your shield and rush over," each of Cao's troops commanded his subordinates to charge into the woods
The sound of the boots on the soles of the soldiers' feet stepping on the snow became closer and closer, and the Dongwu soldiers lying in the snow slowly pulled their fingers on the trigger, just waiting for Zhang Fei's order, and all the crossbow arrows in the arrow box were poured on the heads of these Cao soldiers
"Release the arrow," Zhang Fei chewed a piece of dry grass in his mouth, until he could clearly see the hideous expression on Cao Bing's face on the opposite side, and then he suddenly pressed his hand down and ordered
The crossbowmen, who had already been prepared, heard the order and pulled the machine, and rows of crossbow arrows shot forward with the sound of the bounce of the machine, and for a time shot Cao Bing personally turned on his back and screamed
"Sui Chong" Seeing that Cao Bing was shot, Zhang Fei jumped out of the woods, shook the spear in his hand, and shouted
"Puff, puff," Zhang Fei took the lead, brandishing his spear and stabbing three Cao soldiers in a row, while the soldiers behind him followed his footsteps closely and rushed towards the Cao soldiers
"The crossbowmen keep up and suppress the enemy's archers," Zhang Fei ordered the Cao Jun Colonel with a spear, charging the crossbowmen behind him who were loading their crossbow arrows
"Go up and block the enemy, you escort the general back to Jinyang for medical treatment," Cao Jun swept off the grain and grass piled up on a cart with three and two handfuls, and carried the injured and unconscious Cao Zhen into the cart, covered him with a few felts, and ordered Cao Zhen's personal soldiers while directing his soldiers to meet Zhang Feibu
"Archers release arrows", when Zhang Fei's troops were all out of the woods, the general of Cao Jun shouted loudly to the archers who had changed their bowstrings
"General, our brothers are still entangled with the enemy, release the arrows at this time," the captain of the archer questioned the order of the partial general, and thousands of his own people in front of him were fighting hard with the enemy, at this time, as soon as the arrow was released, the enemy was certainly attacked, but his own people were not spared, and the captain of the bow battalion hesitated
"Let go of the arrows, Lao Tzu will let you release the arrows," General Cao Jun saw that the soldiers in front of him were losing and retreating, and seeing that he was on the verge of collapse, he kicked the captain to the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and pressed it against his neck, and said sharply
"Shoot the arrows", the captain was forced to close his eyes and give the order to the archers under him
With this order, the soldiers of the Cao Army's bow battalion closed their eyes and drew their bows and shot out clusters of arrows, they really couldn't bear to watch their robes fall under the arrows they shot
"There are still three hundred steps to rush, and the crossbowmen will follow and rush another hundred steps, and all the crossbow arrows will be shot at me," Zhang Fei saw an arrow feather ascending to the sky on the left flank in front of him, and the spear danced wildly, clearing a gap of several zhang square in front of him, and shouted
"Entangle them," the general Cao Jun said, holding a long knife in his hand, and ordered the Cao soldiers who were fighting, saying that he would sacrifice these thousands of Cao soldiers, drag Zhang Fei and them, and then inflict heavy damage on the enemy with bows and arrows
"The bow and arrow are coming, raise the shield and raise the shield," the poor thousands of sword and shield soldiers faced the cluster of arrows shot by their own people, and for a time they were in a dilemma, and the soldiers who raised the shield prevented the cluster of arrows falling from the sky, but did not prevent the knife stabbed by the enemy in front of them, and the soldiers who held the shield to block the enemy's attack fell under the cluster of arrows shot by their own people, and faced the cluster of arrows shot from the sky, for a while, the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield fell like cutting wheat
"Yanren Zhang Fei is here to die for the dog," Zhang Fei waved the snake spear like a wheel, and pounced on the Cao soldiers in front of him, only by breaking through the sword and shield of the Cao army, the big formation can win space for the crossbowmen to shoot
