The arrows rained down like raindrops, almost like a dark cloud over everyone's heads. The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army on the ship blocked the shield to death, for fear of leaking a little gap, allowing the arrows to drill in and take someone's life.

Maybe it's someone else's, maybe it's your own

Listening to the sound of arrows piercing the shield, it makes people feel a little frightened.

It has only been a quarter of an hour at most since the baptism of arrows, but the boats crossing the river are almost all like hedgehogs, and they are densely packed with arrows, and if they drift for a little longer, the boats may sink because of the excessive number of arrows on them. That's probably what the straw boat borrowed arrows, but fortunately, they didn't need to do that kind of thing this time. Unfortunately, the arrows on the ship were of no use to them.

"If it sinks because there are too many arrows on the ship, it will really be a big joke" Looking at the more and more arrows on the ship, Zhou Cang couldn't help but mutter.

Zhou Cang is not a good swimmer, and in so many years in Qingzhou, he basically hasn't been in the water a few times. If he falls into the water on a calmer surface, maybe he can still flutter twice, but this is the Yellow River, and if he really falls, he will basically be helpless.

What's more, this time he is also reloaded, and almost all the armor on his body is heavy, weighing dozens of pounds, if he goes down with his clothes, he won't even have a chance to flutter twice.

Looking at the Qingzhou army that was getting closer and closer, the Jizhou soldiers on the shore were a little nervous.

Before Yan Shao decided to go on the Northern Expedition, the relationship between Qingzhou and Jizhou was still relatively stable, at least not completely reversed. However, in the position between the plains and Qingzhou, there were frequent frictions between each other, at least during the period when Huang Zhong was stationed, the chances of the two sides fighting each other were very frequent. These Jizhou soldiers also knew very well how tricky the opponent on the opposite side was, and if they were really allowed to land, a bloody battle would be inevitable.

When Zhang He was on the shore, he regretted it even more.

If only he had arranged for more trebuchets on the shore before that. Although the range of trebuchets of this era was usually pitiful, they were at least stronger than arrows, especially the buildings that could cover the river. Now in his hands, except for some strong crossbows or crossbow beds, there is no effective way to hit the building ship at all, and he can only let the other party suppress the firepower on his side.

Especially the crossbowmen at the top of the ship, the so-called higher the stand, the farther the urine, and the same is true for the bow and crossbow. The height of the building boat is obviously much stronger than that of the Jizhou army on the riverbank, and the use of a strong crossbow is obviously stronger than that of the Jizhou crossbowmen on the shore, considering the ballistics and other issues.

On the battlefield, even if it is only a slight advantage, it may become a huge advantage, and the most troublesome thing is that the Jizhou army on the shore is in a fixed position, and it is impossible to be like a naval battle, the range of the naval guns in his hand is not as good as that of others, and he can take the initiative to approach it and let himself agree with the range of the opposite side.

The reality is that they can't, so they can only endure it, and by the way, pray for the protection of the shield hand next to them.

At this time, if there were some trebuchets, at least it would not make the crossbowmen on the building ship so arrogant. But it's too late to regret it now. Looking at the Jizhou military ships that were getting closer and closer, Zhang He straightened the helmet on his head and said to the soldiers beside him. "Bring me my spear"

"Yes!" The soldier nodded yes, turned to leave, and took Zhang He's weapon.

Taking the spear, Zhang He bowed his head slightly.

"Next, let me see who my opponent is."

Under the rain of arrows, the boat finally docked on the shore.

Perhaps it was because I didn't even think about going back, but the ship used a lot of force when it docked, and it actually rushed to the beachhead. There is a lot of indomitable meaning, leaving no way out for himself.

After making sure that the ship had arrived on the shore, Zhou Cang carried a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and jumped directly from the ship.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, Zhou Cang was the first to take the lead and rushed forward.

With the main general taking the lead, the soldiers around did not hesitate and rushed forward together.

In a short time, at least four or five hundred people had rushed to the landing position.

"Drive them down the Yellow River for me!"

Looking at the Qingzhou army that was pouring onto the shore, as well as the other Qingzhou soldiers and horses that were coming in an endless stream, Zhang He frowned and shouted loudly.

"Oh!" In unison, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou on the shore also followed, taking advantage of this opportunity, the crossbowmen on the ship and on the shore also seized the opportunity to export a wave. When the two armies came into contact, they immediately stopped.

At this time, the two soldiers and horses were already entangled together, and if they continued to shoot arrows, it was easy to injure their own people by mistake. This is unacceptable to both the Qingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army. The former is because there are too few soldiers and horses on the shore, while the latter is because there are too few soldiers and horses in hand.

Now the soldiers and horses in Jizhou have basically been taken to Youzhou by Yuan Shao, and the soldiers and horses in Zhang He's hands are at most more than 10,000 people, and before the battle situation on Yuan Shao's side is determined, there is no possibility of reinforcements.

Judging from the information that came back from Youzhou not long ago, the battle situation in Youzhou is still in a state of stalemate. Yuan Shao's advantage is very large, very big, it can be said that he has a considerable degree of advantage in the battle situation, but if he wants to completely defeat Gongsun Zhan, it is not possible to achieve it in the short term. At least judging from the current situation, it will take about half a month to a month, this is still Zhang He's own estimate, anything on the battlefield can happen, maybe there is any accident that may advance or delay the time.

In order to avoid this situation, Zhang He had to cherish the troops in his hands.

After all, there are enough soldiers and horses in the Qingzhou army on the other side, and he is different, there are not so many soldiers and horses in his hands that they can be wasted.

Stepping on the soft ground gave Zhou Cang a sense of peace of mind. No one knew his dislike of ships better than Zhou Cang himself, especially the feeling of floating, which was far less reassuring than the peace of mind of having his feet on the ground.

Now that he has finally arrived at his destination, he is also relieved.

Glancing at the Jizhou soldiers and horses who were killed on the opposite side, Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his state and then greeted him.

As a brave general, he doesn't know what strategy is, nor does he know what it means to command in battle, so there is only one thing he has to do, that is, to kill all the opponents in front of him!

Almost as he spoke, a Jizhou soldier had already rushed in front of Zhou Cang, and the spear in his hand pierced Zhou Cang's chest.

Zhou Cang's expression was solemn, he blocked the shield in front of him, blocked the stab, and then took advantage of the fact that the other party had not changed his move, and the big knife in his right hand had already waved.

After eliminating one opponent, Zhou Cang began to look for the next opponent.

I have to say that maybe Zhou Cang's martial arts are not super first-class, but they can also be ranked at the bottom of the first-class ranks. In the Qingzhou army, which is as strong as a forest, Zhou Cang's level is nothing, at least there are many stronger than him. For example, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and the new Xu Huang, etc., there are many people who can keep pace with him, such as Guan Hai, Wu Anguo, Zang Ba and even Sun Guan.

It is absolutely not a lie to say that the Qingzhou army is like a cloud.

But this is inside the Qingzhou Army, and if it is placed outside the Qingzhou Army, Zhou Cang's level will be very prominent. At the very least, among the soldiers and horses of the Jizhou army in front of them, none of them can block Zhou Cang's three rounds.

The strongest is just an officer dressed up, and in the third move, he was torn open by Zhou Cang with a knife and disemboweled.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Cang had already slashed at least a dozen Jizhou troops, and Wu Anguo and the others who went ashore with him did not have such outstanding performances. In terms of bravery alone, Zhou Cang has reached a realm, and in the end, even the Jizhou soldiers and horses on the shore will instinctively avoid him when they see him, for fear that they will crash into Zhou Cang's hands.

"Enemy general, I'll be your opponent!" Just when Zhou Cang killed another opponent, a person dressed as a military general finally rushed out of the battlefield and came to Zhou Cang.

Because the landing position was not very suitable for fighting on horseback, the man did not ride a war horse, but came to Zhou Cang on foot.

"Who are you?!" Looking at the generals opposite, Zhou Cang frowned and asked first.

"I am the one under the account of Yuan Gong, who came to take your life!"

Jiao Tentacle pointed the spear in his hand at Zhou Cang and shouted.

Zhou Cang had killed at least ten of his sergeants just now, how could he tolerate Zhou Cang?

"Scorch?" Hearing this name, Zhou Cang was a little disdainful. "I've never even heard of your name, but since you're here to die, I won't refuse."

Before going north, Jia Xu once introduced some noteworthy figures in Jizhou to everyone. For example, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who are generals in the army, these two guys who only have the courage of a puppet may not be a qualified general, but what you can't help but admit is that the martial arts of these two people are really powerful, and they can enter the ranks of super-first-class, that is, Gan Ning and Tai Shici under Yan Shao's account meet the two of them, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, so when they meet, you must be careful.

followed by Zhang He and Gao Lan, the two generals, whose abilities are also quite good.

The rest is Ju Yi as a general in the army

It should be said that in terms of ability alone, Ju Yi is likely to be the strongest under Yuan Shao's account, he may not be as good as Yan Liang and Wen Chou in martial arts, and even Zhang He and Gao Ran are not as good, but as a general who leads the battle, these are not particularly important, what really matters is the command ability.

Ju Yi can easily defeat Gongsun Chan with not a lot of soldiers and horses at the Jieqiao, which in itself proves his strength. It's a pity that Ju Yi's temperament is too arrogant and self-serving, and he is not liked by Yuan Shao, and even feared.

As for the rest, Chun Yuqiong, who was entrusted with important tasks by Yuan Shao, is actually very good. is not a villain who is completely greedy for cups and mischief, this is what Li Ru told him. After all, when he was in Luoyang, Li Ru could be regarded as having close contact with Chun Yuqiong, but it may not be possible to say how amazing Chun Yuqiong's ability is, it can only be said that he is worthy of his current position.

As for this, what is the scorch? I'm sorry, no one really mentioned it, so it's no wonder that Zhou Cang thought he was a nobody.

was regarded as a nobody by Zhou Cang, and he was so angry that he couldn't wait to break his body into pieces immediately. But he also saw Zhou Cang's performance just now, and he knew that this reckless man from Qingzhou was not comparable to ordinary people, so he had to be careful.

It was only when the two fought each other that he realized how huge the gap between the two of them was

If Zhou Cang has reached the level of the end of the first-class, then Jiao Touch is at most a third-rate level, and he can be regarded as a general, but he is still far from being excellent.

It's just that in the first round, the spear in Jiao Tentacle's hand was almost knocked away by Zhou Cang with a knife, not to mention the remaining rounds. It was almost completely passively beaten, and it was not easy to fight back once, but it was just a flaw caught by Zhou Cang.

After seven or eight rounds, the spear in his hand was completely knocked off.

It's just that just when Jiao Touch was about to be cut off by Zhou Cang, a big axe came over from the side, caught Zhou Cang's knife just right, and also saved Jiao Touch's life.

The right arm was forced, but he found that the big axe under the knife only sank slightly, and he didn't move at all, and Zhou Cang's expression became serious.

"Who are you?"

Standing in front of Zhou Cang was a strong man whose physique was not inferior to him, and it could even be said that he was a little stronger than him.

Hearing Zhou Cang's inquiry, the strong man said coldly. "A certain is the general of Jizhou, Han Meng, is also!"

"Han Meng!" Hearing this name, Zhou Cang was obviously excited.

In Jia Xu's previous introduction, Han Meng was also included, and he was considered to be the strongest general besides the Jizhou Siting Pillar. Of course, the strongest thing here is just martial arts, but compared to the small characters who don't even have a name in front of them, they are already quite outstanding.

"Finally, a guy with a name and a surname has come out, and it is not in vain that I spent so much time and hurried back to join the war." Licking his lips excitedly, Zhou Cang spoke.

He had just returned from Bingzhou not long ago, and in order to catch up with this battle, he hurried back in a hurry. And it was also because of the rush that Yan Shao had to let him rest in the camp for a while, otherwise the people who attacked tentatively before should not be Wu Anguo and Pei Yuanshao, but him

But no matter what, at least he came back in time and didn't miss the big drama in front of him
