Chapter 122: Wei State Offensive and Defensive War (2)

Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, this is definitely the most spectacular scene that Zhao Hongrun has seen so far.

I saw that the 10,000 arrows fired by the 10,000 longbowmen of the Chu State were like a tide of locusts, like dark clouds before a rainstorm, covering the entire sky in front of them, and as far as the eye could see, it was all black and oppressive.

Even Zhao Hongrun, who thought he had excellent psychological quality, swallowed his saliva and his hands trembled uncontrollably when he saw this spectacular and terrifying scene from the bottom of his heart.

And behind it, it's even colder.

"Protect King Su! Protect the General! ”

Zong Wei Zhang Biao shouted, and immediately, more than a dozen Wei shield soldiers rushed over nearby, using the iron shield in their hands to protect Zhao Hongrun layer by layer.

After a moment of dead silence, the sound of arrows striking shields was heard near the southern wall of the Wei camp.

"Tuk-tuk-"

"Tuk Tuk Tuk—"

The sound that was so dense that it seemed like a downpour banging on the window frightened Zhao Hongrun to purse his lips, and he couldn't make any sound.

There is no shame in this.

Because only when we have faced a person who is "ten thousand arrows at once" will we understand that kind of despair, just like a person facing a choppy tide, and the strength of the individual is really too insignificant in the face of such a catastrophe that can be called annihilation.

This rain of arrows has been "falling" for a while.

Zhao Hongrun secretly speculated that the 10,000 longbowmen of the Chu State outside the camp would never shoot more than one arrow, at least three or four arrows per person, or even more than five arrows.

This means that the Chu army was on top of the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp, and in just a dozen breaths, they vented a full 50,000 arrows.

Or even more.

The entire south camp wall of the Wei camp was dead silent.

All the Wei soldiers hid under bunkers and shields, and did not dare to take the lead easily.

The Chu army is attacking with a sea of people. It is most fully manifested in this moment.

Outside the Wei camp, the chief general of the Chu army, Zai Fu Gan, finally ordered to stop shooting.

It's not that he deliberately released the water, and it's not that the Chu army's arrows ran out, the reason was only that the 10,000 longbowmen had already had soreness in their arms after each of them persisted in shooting five arrows.

It's no wonder, after all, that pulling a longbow requires more wrist strength. It also takes a lot of effort, and shooting five arrows in a short time with a full bow is extremely exhausting for the archer.

If nothing else, at least half of the 10,000 longbowmen have temporarily lost their archery fitness in a short period of time, and it will take some time to recover.

But in the eyes of the chief general of the Chu army, Zai Father, it was worth it, because if it went well, the five waves of arrows of the 10,000 Chu army longbowmen would cause heavy casualties among the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp.

For this. Zai's father did not hesitate to ask the infantry of the 5,000 Chu army to accompany the burial.

But the current result did not make Zai Father feel much satisfied, because he felt that the screams of those Wei soldiers coming from the direction of the Wei camp wall did not reach his expectations.

"Is it seen through?"

Muttering, Father Zai frowned and looked at the dead Wei Ying, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

"Second team. Offensive! ”

With the order of Zaifu, a whole battalion of 5,000 infantry was dispatched in the Chu army. A charge was launched towards the Wei camp.

It is undeniable that the rain of arrows just now is indeed excellent, no, it is clear that the second infantry team of the Chu army has rushed within the range of the archers of the Wei camp, but there are no archers of the Wei army raising their bows and arrows.

Believe those Wei soldiers. At this moment, he has not recovered from the majestic rain of arrows just now.

Indeed, at this moment, on the wall of the Wei camp, all the Wei soldiers were still hiding under the shield, and the whole person shrank into a ball, only to see on the camp wall. All the shield soldiers held their shields above their heads, and together with the surrounding shield soldiers, they protected their comrades, so that at a glance, the entire Wei camp wall seemed to be a shield wall, but it was facing the sky.

"Bang-"

A shield fell to the ground, and Gong Yuan, the general of the Wei army, pushed away the corpse of a soldier who was pressed on his body and stood up.

Gong Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regret and sadness when he looked at the corpse, because the Wei shield soldier was really unlucky, and an arrow pierced the gap between the shield and shot into his neck.

But even so, the Wei soldier still insisted on holding his shield high and protecting Gong Yuan until the end of the Chu army's volley, until he lost his breath.

"This is the soldier of my Muddy Water Army!"

Miyabuchi felt a strong sense of pride from the bottom of his heart, he squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently closed the eyes of the sacrificial soldier, and immediately picked up the shield dropped by the latter, and his left arm passed through the armband of the shield to stand up again.

"The second wave of the Chu army's offensive has arrived, and the whole army is facing it!"

As soon as he gave the order, he saw that on the dead wall of the camp, the shieldmen stood up one after another, together with the crossbowmen they were protecting.

But there were also some shield soldiers who remained motionless on one knee and holding their shields aloft.

"Hey, hey, hey?"

A Wei archer pushed the motionless shield soldier beside him, but saw the latter's figure sway, and he fell to the ground with his shield with a bang.

"Hey, you're ......"

The archer's face was shocked, and when he looked closely, he realized that an arrow had pierced through the iron shield and into the back of the shieldman's skull.

The archer opened his mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.

Because he realized that the reason why he was still alive was because this Tongze still held a shield high to protect him after his death.

"Damn Chu dog!"

The archer cursed through gritted teeth.

As soon as he had cursed, the archer heard the order from the general, so he shut his mouth and went back into battle.

And a similar scene, the general in charge of the command, Gong Yuan, saw it in his eyes, but at this moment, he didn't care about regretting the sacrifices of the excellent Junshui battalion soldiers.

"The infantry of the Chu army is approaching the camp wall, the archers are under the crossbowmen, and the shield soldiers are responsible for carrying the dead down the camp wall."

Gong Yuan calmly gave the general order, and the Wei soldiers of the Junshui battalion also calmly fulfilled the general order, and the archers jumped off the camp wall one after another, and stepped forward in place of their crossbowmen, and the machine crossbows in their hands were aimed at the Chu infantry who were getting closer and closer to the camp wall, and during this period. The Wei shield soldiers quickly transported the corpse of Tong Ze, who had died in the rain of arrows, down the camp wall to prevent the corpse from taking a position.

During this period, the shield soldiers who used layers of shields to closely protect Zhao Hongrun and Bailiba and others also dispersed.

"Your Highness, be careful." Zhang Biao immediately held a shield to protect Zhao Hongrun, for fear that the Chu army would suddenly launch another wave of bows and arrows.

"It's fine."

Zhao Hongrun gently pushed Zhang Biao away. Because he found that the formation of the Chu army in the distance outside the camp, the longbowman policy that acted as the "wings of the war crane", had slowly retreated to the rear for some distance.

This meant that those longbowmen of the Chu State did not have the physical strength to release arrows for the time being, so Zhao Hongrun was not worried about the Chu army "sneaking up" on them again.

Yes, a sneak attack.

Although Zhao Hongrun did not know that the commander of the Chu army who commanded the war was called Zaifu Gan, and he did not know this person, this did not prevent him from thinking highly of Zaifu Qian.

On the frontal battlefield. How incredible it is to attack the enemy with dignity!

But the father did it.

When the latter used a bow and crossbow to shoot the 5,000 Chu infantry, Zai Father quietly changed the formation of the army, placing two battalions of 10,000 Chu longbowmen on the wings of the crane wing array, and then under the guise of the whole army advancing to the Wei camp, the 10,000 Chu longbowmen stood at a sufficient range.

It's a loss that the north wind is still blowing today. So that the longbowmen of the Chu State must be closer to the Wei camp, otherwise. The Chu army's 10,000 arrows will come earlier and more suddenly.

"Under the command of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, there is a very good commander......

Zhao Hongrun sighed sincerely, he didn't feel complacent at all because he had just gained insight into Zai's father's intentions, but he was afraid, because if he hadn't noticed Zai's master's trick a moment earlier. I believe that at this moment, the wall of the Wei camp must be full of corpses.

Of course, in this regard, the general of the Junshui Battalion, Bailiba, was already full of anger.

"Shame! It's a shame! ”

Bailiba is a general who is good at war after all, and how can he not figure out his father's intentions now, but he can't accept it. The "shameful" practice of slaughtering the father cannot be accepted.

In Bailiba's view, there will inevitably be casualties in any war, and every soldier and general who has worked hard to train may be killed in a battle, which is understandable, after all, how can there be immortals in war?

However, in order to achieve tactical goals, he deliberately asked his soldiers to be sent to death, purely as bait to accompany the funeral, this kind of thing is unacceptable.

This is the difference in values between the orthodox generals of Wei and the generals of Chu.

"That Chu will ...... What a disgrace! Bailiba scolded angrily with a gloomy face, and he sincerely felt inexplicable anger that the outstanding soldiers of the Junshui Battalion under his command died in the hands of a "unworthy" Chu general like Zai's father.

Zhao Hongrun did not have such a strong resentment, in his opinion, on the battlefield, each depends on life and death, and everything can be used, but any tactics that can serve the purpose of "final victory" can be used.

Of course, understanding is understanding, but Zhao Hongrun doesn't want a general like his father, after all, this kind of unscrupulous approach to achieve the end has exceeded the "rules" he pursued.

Look at the Chu infantry outside the barracks who were used as bait by Zai Father, and look at the fate of those people, I am afraid that these Chu soldiers who risked their lives to rush to the vicinity of the Wei camp would never have dreamed that they did not die under the bows and crossbows of the Wei army, but instead died under the volley of their allies.

Those Chu soldiers who are difficult to look at until death are simply ironic!

"This kind of country has not yet perished, but has forced my Great Wei to the end, it is simply ...... Unbelievable!'

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that the world is really impermanent.

At least the commander of the Chu army, Zai Fu, did not care about the sacrifices of the infantry who acted as bait, and he was at most sorry that the sacrifices of these bait sacrifices did not allow him to get enough returns, so that the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp suffered heavy casualties as expected.

Of course, as a general, Father Zai will not send his army to death for no reason, he is just for victory.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the sacrifice of the 5,000 bait can be exchanged for the casualties of 3,000 Wei soldiers in the Wei camp, or even just 2,000 Wei soldiers, Zai's father feels that it is earned, after all, there are only 30,000 soldiers in the Yanshui camp of the Wei army, but now their Chu army has 110,000 troops, but the casualty rate of the Wei soldiers is high, which will undoubtedly make the chance of conquering this military camp greater.

But unfortunately, today's tactics seem to have been seen through by the Wei soldiers, and they did not achieve the expected gains, nor did they cause the morale of the Wei soldiers to fall.

In the past, Zai Father would have chosen to temporarily withdraw his troops and think of several tactics that could effectively kill the Wei soldiers, but today, he could only continue to attack.

"Third team, attack! …… The longbowmen diffused towards the Wei battalion, suppressing the Wei battalion crossbowmen and giving cover to the infantry. (To be continued.) )
