Chapter 8: The Master in the Fire

"What about scouts? What about scouts? Doesn't it mean that everything is calm and unusual? Han Baozheng tried his best to control the war horse and scolded angrily. He would rather choose to fight an encounter with the Zhou army than die in the fire like now. In a hurry, he didn't know what to do, he just blindly reprimanded the scouts, but unfortunately, there was not a scout by his side. Those buddies are either killed or run away at this point. Fires broke out, chaotic times rolled, and the sound of war drums and horns shook the heavens and the earth! Although the Zhou army has not yet rushed over to fight with the Shu army, the Shu army is still in a mess. The veterans are better, at least they know how to dodge, they know how to raise their shields to deal with them, while the recruits are miserable, frustrated and confused.

"Hurry up... Quickly give the order to retreat. We can't afford to delay here! Zhang Tingwei said eagerly beside him. Since the horn sounded, Zhang Tingwei's little face turned pale with fright. But Han Baozheng was right in front of him, and he Zhang Tingwei didn't dare to ask for instructions, and he left all of a sudden. In case, Han Bao is using his own head to deter the surrounding sergeants, it will be miserable. So, he could only admonish.

Fall back? Han Baozheng shook his head vigorously, he must not retreat, let alone whether he can withdraw or not, even if he withdraws, the plan to enter Jingzhou will definitely fail. If you lose this battle, your future will be over! Besides, can you pull it out? I am in the middle of the army, just in the middle, if I am at the entrance now, then I can still rush out by organizing the army to charge, but now it is not possible. Before he could reach the mouth of the canyon, he would be burned alive.

Burned? Han Baozheng was stunned for a moment, and he immediately thought that he was leaning on Jingshui? "Order, retreat on the right side, retreat to Jingshui to avoid the fire, well... Form a circle and let the sword and shield hold the shield to defend against the rolling stones at the outermost! Han Baozheng said loudly. In a hurry, the soldiers could only scream as best they could, passing the news forward and backward. As for... As for whether the flustered sergeants listened to the orders or not, that's another matter!

"Dashuai, you can't hesitate. Walk... It's a self-dead end.,In case... In case of... Dashuai, you forgot, we are downstream of Jingshui, if Zhou Jun blocks Jingshui upstream, let's go into Jingshui, but we will throw ourselves into the net! Zhang Tingwei persuaded hard.

"Fart! You think Lao Tzu is you! At the critical moment, Han Baozheng couldn't take care of it, and scolded: "Chu Jun just caught Guo Changling with the method you said, do you think I must have taken precautions, I have sent scouts to check it repeatedly, and they have definitely not done anything on Jingshui!" If you look at the Jingshui River for yourself, the water is still very urgent. If you dare to talk nonsense, don't blame Ben Shuai for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

Han Baozheng scolded Zhang Tingwei with a bloody sprinkler, and Zhang Tingwei didn't dare to speak. Han Baozheng commanded the army to retreat to Jingshui. This water is indeed not deep, that is, half a person high. There are many rivers in the middle of the river, and the Shu army can basically swim, so this little water is not dangerous at all. It's just that the water depth is not deep, but there are many stones at the bottom of the river, and the height is uneven, and it is very inconvenient to stumble and stumble on the walk.

Since you are in the river, you naturally want to wade across the river, and the river is only 200 meters wide at most anyway. Han Baozheng was engrossed in directing the army into Jingshui, while Zhang Tingwei commanded the army to slowly walk across the river. As long as they cross the other side, the Shu army will be safe. No matter how much Zhou Jun set fires, it was impossible to burn the entire Jingshui. However, as soon as the Shu army reached the middle of the river, they heard a "dong dong" war drum, coming from the opposite bank! There was a swaying in the wild grass on the bank of the river, and countless Zhou troops flashed. Damn it! The ambush turned out to be here!

The Zhou army was high-spirited, holding a longbow in each hand, bending the bow like a full moon, and the sharp arrow broke through the sky. Accompanied by the sound of war drums, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air whistled, and the rain of arrows covered the sky like a spring, covering the sky a little gray at once.

The first to enter the river are mainly veterans, and the veterans have always been elite troops, when fighting as the backbone, waiting for the sword and shield men to consume the opponent's physical strength, these elite troops to rush to the past to play a key role in turning the tide of the war. Anyone who has ever seen a war knows that infantry combat, at the beginning, was a bow and arrow shooting, and after the two armies charged together, it was a typical white-knuckle battle, and the bow and arrow were no longer very effective at this time. Unless... Unless you even your own people. As a result, few of these veterans have shields in their hands. This time I encountered the other party's arrow rain, and the Jingshui River suddenly became red!

"There is an ambush... There is an ambush! Zhang Tingwei exclaimed.

"Smack!" Han Baozheng angrily whipped Zhang Tingwei and said, "You organize an army charge for Lao Tzu, but we will win if you rush through more than 100 meters." Even if the opposite side is the main force of the Zhou army, we have a full 40,000 people? ”

40,000 horses? Zhang Tingwei subconsciously glanced at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and fire, the river was already dyed red, there were many corpses floating, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burnt meat, as well as the bloody smell that rushed to the sky. Just now, the army that has lost itself is estimated to be two or three thousand people. This... It's a blink of an eye!

"Did you hear that?" Han Baozheng said viciously. Ya Zhang Tingwei really disappointed him this time. Han Baozheng is not afraid of death, he also wants to escape, but there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground, where are you going, how can you run if you don't command the army to fight a bloody road? Besides, my mother, there is still a future!

Zhang Tingwei stubbornly agreed. Han Bao was whipping him, and he, Zhang Tingwei, brandished his horsewhip and began to whip the Shu army around him, commanding the elite of the Shu army to rush desperately towards the opposite bank. The veterans of the Shu army also know that now is the critical moment, and if they rush to the other side, their old lives will definitely be explained on the banks of the Jingshui River. At the moment, they encouraged their courage, constantly wielding knives and guns in their hands, and tried their best to dance into a knife net to protect their predecessors. Step by step, they rushed towards the opposite shore. As the saying goes: two fists are hard to beat four hands, and heroes can't control many people. Although the bows and arrows of the Zhou army were dense, there were not many of them, and it took time to shoot arrows with a bow every time, and the Shu army took advantage of this time interval to slowly rush over.

The Shu army is advancing at the risk of death. And Zhou Jun was quietly retreating. This is also understandable, after all, Zhou Jun is a long-range weapon, and there is no need for his family to fight you at close range! Shu Jun watched Zhou Jun shoot arrows while retreating, and he was helpless, who let his guy not be long enough to beat the opponent! Of course, the Shu army is also an archer, but the archers have been dispersed, and Zhang Tingwei finally organized it. After the Shu army had archers, the two sides formed a situation of firing against each other, but the Shu army was injured a lot, and the Zhou army was rarely injured. Why? Because the bow and arrow of the Shu army are not qualified. Meng Chang has been engaged in the building of spiritual civilization all day long, and this national defense construction has been relaxed. The matter of cutting corners has gradually increased, and this strong bow and crossbow not only creates trouble, but also troubles the sergeants to train, if they don't have the strength, they really can't pull the bow and arrow. The buddies of the Shu army often don't go out to exercise, and rarely go to training. It was too heavy for them to carry this strong bow and crossbow on their backs, and secondly, he couldn't pull it away after going into battle. Therefore, the weapons of the Shu army have embarked on the road of lightweight. Easily pull the bow, bend the bow and set up the arrow, "whoosh" shot out, this long arrow flickering, fluttering and sliding for a period of time, under the action of the earth's gravity, "snap" fell to the ground, this lethality is quite weak!

It may be that there are indeed not many Zhou troops on the other side. The Shu army gradually approached the riverbank, and some people who were anxious jumped up with a slight jump. Feet on the heavy embankment, safe and comfortable! But these buddies still have time to enjoy it, a fire of "Thorn Lala" is burning in the weeds on the riverbank again!

He nn, no wonder the Zhou army pushed it to the mountain, it turned out that he was waiting for the Shu army here. The weeds by the river are about ten meters wide, and when they catch fire, they form a natural isolation zone, firmly blocking the Shu army from the Jingshui River! Well, the charge just now was in vain! Zhang Tingwei said dejectedly.

Just when the Shu army was panicked and at a loss, they heard the Zhou army's archers suddenly shouting and killing, this is definitely not a strong shouting and killing, but a shout to vent their anger before the charge!

Zhang Tingwei was happy in his heart, could it be that things had taken a turn for the better, he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the mountain beam, the fire on the bank of the Jingshui River was raging, and the tongue of fire was so high that the air above was a little distorted, and he couldn't see it clearly at all.

"Dashuai, I heard the sound of fighting on the other side, could it be... Could it be that things have taken a turn for the better! We should still mobilize our swords and shields to go ashore and use our shields to pave the way temporarily. Rush out of the sea of fire and rush up the mountain beam! Zhang Tingwei said to this Han Baozheng.

After such a long time, Zhang Tingwei finally paid attention to it and paved the way with a shield. Looks like you can try it. Of course, the shields of the Shu army are wooden, but they are in the Jingshui River, of course, they bubble with water first, so that the fire is not extinguished, but the combustible materials are added.

At this time, the Zhou army, which was supposed to take advantage of the victory on this side of the mountain range, suddenly died down for some reason, and the fire was no longer released, but the fire on this side of the mountain was full of fire, and it was absolutely impossible to extinguish it for a while! On Shanliang's side, the Zhou army also seemed to be in trouble, and ignored the Shu army's action to put out the fire.

Even so, it took a lot of effort for the Shu army to extinguish the fire and climb the riverbank. The Shu army had just landed on the river bank, and a big banner with the word "Chu" was already flying high on the mountain beam in the distance.
