Chapter 1021: The Battle of Qingzhou (9)

"Xuan Gao, it seems that the Xiliang army will not cross the river." On the bank of the Gu River, Zang Ba and the four of them looked at the signs that the Jizhou army had not crossed the river for a long time, and Wu Dun on the side spoke.

"You look at the current strength of the Jizhou army, with a famous general like Wen Chou, he naturally knows that we have to defend the riverbed and attack half-crossing, how can we just send it to the door to find death, unless he is in a hurry to fight, otherwise it is not impossible to cross the river after the large army is gathered, or even choose other ferries to cross the river." Zang Ba was single-minded, and said while staring at the Jizhou army on the other side of the river.

"It's understandable for Wen Chou to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, but if he has such a big advantage and goes to other ferries to cross the river, even if he wins, I'm afraid that his face will not be bright." Yin Li said.

"The initiative on the battlefield is not Xuangao's initiative to give up, if you want me to say that after discovering the Jizhou Army at that time, you should take the initiative to cross the river to attack, and firmly grasp the initiative in your own hands, so that you can have a chance to win this battle!" Chang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said in a rough voice.

"Haha." Hearing the words of the three of them, Zang Ba laughed out loud: "First of all, the soldier is treacherous, if you can outflank me from other ferries and win, then how can Wen Chou care about what kind of face is glorious, defeating the opponent is the most shameful thing, the world will only remember how the victor strategized." Secondly, it is not so much that Wen Chou has the initiative on the battlefield, but rather that I have given the initiative to him, and there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, so we can only defend but not attack. ”

The strength is not only whether the strength is disparity, but also the consideration of morale and combat effectiveness, at this point, the Xuzhou army will not be much worse than the Jizhou army, but the real reason for the reversal of the strength and weakness is that Sun Guan took 10,000 Langya troops to detour through Qi State, plus the troops were mixed with many Qingzhou soldiers. If you take the initiative to attack the Jizhou army, you will have no chance of winning. But if it's purely defensive, it's not impossible to win.

"It seems that all the Jizhou troops have arrived." Looking at Zang Ba on the other side, he spoke again. The three of them looked at the opposite bank at the same time, the distance was far away, how could they see the specific situation on the other side, but they were all 'veterans' who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and with many years of experience in warfare, they could estimate the enemy army by moving quickly on the shore.

The Yuan army will soon attack, Wu Dun, you take people to inspect the upstream and downstream, strictly prevent the Yuan army from dividing the troops, and spare our army.

Promise!

Wu Dun retreated as promised. Personally led the scout battalion to patrol along the upper and lower reaches of the Gu River, he beat for a long time, the drums on the other side of the Gu River sounded, the low drum sound resounded in the sky, the drums were excited, the Jizhou army approached Gu Shui, and the Langya army that had been arrayed at this moment clenched the blades in their hands together, and even their breathing became dignified.

The Langya army built a strong wall at the edge of the water, and Zang Ba stood in front of them. Sitting on a horse, spear in hand, looking at the figure of the Jizhou army quickly assembled on the other side of the river, they did not cross the river by ferry. There were too many Jizhou troops to use a ferry to cross the river, so Wen Chou simply used a ferry to build a simple pontoon bridge. But the ferries soon ran out of steam. Wen Chou also ordered the Jizhou army, which knew how to water, to jump off the water and use manpower as bridge pillars to support the pontoon.

Zang Ba, who was expressionless, looked at the wave of Jizhou troops who began to cross the water through the pontoon bridge. Faintly hearing the sermon, the first to cross the river will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 100 gold.

Enemy troops began to cross the river. In the face of the menacing Jizhou army, Zang Ba was really a little worried, worried that the Qingzhou army, although they had been scattered in the Langya army, but they must not have experienced such a cruel battlefield, their fear and fear, it is likely to cause the collapse of the entire battlefield, for which he had to set up a military law camp, which was unimaginable in the past, but at this time, in order to defend the enemy from crossing the river, he had to do it.

But those who dare to retreat will be killed. This is the only thing Zang Ba said to the military judge Yin Li after setting up the overseer camp, his face was cold, he had the heart of death in this battle, and only by holding the enemy army could this battle be victorious.

The Jizhou army quickly crossed the river and approached the south bank of Gushui at the fastest speed.

"Brothers, kill the Jizhou thieves." Zang Ba shouted, and in an instant, the Langya army set up the big bow in their hands, pulled the bowstring, and aimed at the Jizhou army on the other side, once they entered the range, they would shoot cold and shining arrows.

The cold and chilly arrows exuded a death aura and enveloped the Jizhou army, however, it could not stop the Jizhou army's advance.

Knock knock!

The drums of the Jizhou army became more and more urgent, and the Jizhou army advanced rapidly under the drums, and everyone's eyes flashed with greed, dreaming of being the first to kill on the other side and get the rich reward.

At this moment, the Jizhou army seemed to have encountered an enemy for many years, and one by one became crazy and ruthless under the rendering of interests.

"Kill!"

The Jizhou army roared hysterically one by one, and the rich rewards made them follow one after another.

Retreating is death, they can only advance, and there are rich rewards for advancing, without any choice, they can only summon a hundred times the courage, like a dragon out of the sea, take off the blade in the mouth, take out the weapon with the waist side, and start to launch the first wave of landing operations.

"Keep up, keep up."

The urging sound of the Jizhou army could already make the Langya army on the other side hear it clearly, and the palm holding the bowstring began to tremble slightly, showing the anxiety in his heart. His expression was tense, anxiously waiting for the general's order to shoot the arrows in his hand into the Jizhou army that was wading across the bridge.

At this moment, the Jizhou army in the middle of the crossing is the fish on the drill board, there is no time to dodge, and there will be no room to dodge, as long as the Langya army aims accurately, every arrow may shoot a Jizhou army.

"Ready."

Zang Ba roared, and the spear in his palm was raised high by him, and for a while the Langya army held its breath, and in an instant, at the moment when Zang Ba's palm spear was raised to the highest peak and began to fall, the arrows in the palm of Langya's hand were fired in unison, and they roared towards the Jizhou army that came across the river.

It's like a beautiful arc on the horizon, playing a beautiful movement, but in such a movement, there are only terrible cries such as ah-hmm, and soon such cries reach their peak, and in an instant, the cries disappear again and become silent. But after a little silence, the Jizhou army erupted into even more angry shouts and scolding, which were accompanied by crazy shouts and killings. Like spring thunder, it resounded through the sky.

The arrows of the Jizhou army did not slow them down. On the contrary, because the old brothers fell in front of them with arrows and fell into the water, which completely angered them, and at this moment, fear and fear were replaced by hatred in an instant. Their pace has picked up even more.

"Shoot again!"

Sure enough, it was the elite of Jizhou, their performance deeply shocked Zang Ba, such an elite soldier, just ask which general is not loved, he is not afraid of death when he charges, he is not panicked when he retreats, such an elite must not let them cross the river easily, this is the only idea that pops up in Zang Ba's mind. Otherwise, his Langya army would not know how much it would lose by then.

The spear in Zang Ba's hand fell again, and the Langya army, who had already taken out the latest long arrow from the quiver, quickly opened their bows and shot at the soldiers in the water.

The arrows that obscured the sky roared again, and the terrible howl of ghosts resounded again, and the number of people who were shot by the arrows but drowned because they could not swim far exceeded the number of those who were directly hit by the arrows.

Horror and bloodshed have become synonymous with water, and every moment there will be old brothers and old friends who become floating corpses in the water, but this cruel slaughter did not deter the Jizhou army. Hatred began to burn in the depths of their hearts, burning like a raging fire, and at this moment they had long forgotten what reward they had in their minds, and only remembered one sentence. That is: "revenge...... Quickly cross the river to the other side and avenge the death of your brothers!! ”

On the north bank of the Gu River, Wen Chou personally beat the war drums. The snare drum beat was extremely high-pitched, echoing over and over again on the banks of the Gushui River. cheered for the Jizhou army and encouraged them to kill on the south bank.

Soon, the Jizhou army entered the shallow water area from deep water. The distance between the two armies was already less than fifty meters. But this distance was enough for the Langya army to shoot three or four more waves of arrows. Zang Ba waved his hand again, and the Langya army standing behind him raised their longbows in unison, and even some Qingzhou troops who used crossbow short bows had already drawn their bows and wound their bows, drawing their bows and waiting to shoot, just waiting for General Zang Ba's next order, they would shoot at the enemy generals.

"Shoot again!" Liu Lan shouted, and the continuous shouting made his voice a little hoarse, but he didn't care, listening to the sound of the bowstring being pulled, even if he broke his throat today.

The roar of arrows reverberated in the heavens and the earth, and the piercing sound of the crossbow that tore through the air echoed around, and the rain of arrows in the sky roared out like raindrops, shooting into the Jizhou military column without any dead ends, but in an instant, the sound of heart-rending screams and cries resounded throughout the audience again, but such a miserable cry soon became two words:

"Kill!"

The dawn was ahead, the riverbed was at the foot, and the Jizhou army became even more crazy.

Seeing the Jizhou army ascending the riverbed, Zang Ba led his own soldiers to meet him, and shouted hoarsely: "Brothers, I will kill the Jizhou army that landed on the shore and return to Gushui for me!" ”

In the face of the Langya army led by Zang Ba, the Jizhou troops who took the lead in landing raised their weapons and rushed to kill without hesitation.

At the moment when the Jizhou army was waiting for the shore, the drumming on the north bank of Gushui became more and more excited, and the drumming at this moment was no longer a simple offensive signal, but played a role like the existence of the Wen Chou general's flag, inspiring the Jizhou army on the river bank to move forward and repel these vulnerable Langya troops.

"Brothers of the Langya Army...... Kill Jizhou thieves~~~~"

Zang Ba roared and jumped to the Jizhou army, followed by him is Chang Xuan, followed by Zang Ba a roar, with Zang Ba, and then the shouts came and went, the Langya army issued the same shout as the two, shaking the earth, at this moment the Langya army pounced on the group of 'dragons' out of the water like a mountain tiger, the battle between the dragon and the tiger was fiercely staged, but the battle between the dragon and the tiger was not evenly matched, but the tiger who was waiting for work pressed the dragon who traveled a long way to the sea.

The tiger down the mountain just rushed into the army formation that the dragon had just formed out of the water in an instant, and at this moment the disorderly Jizhou army had the demeanor of the dragon, like a scattered flock of sheep, facing the tiger with momentum like a rainbow, there was no ability to resist.

The tigers who pounced on the sheep for a time began to slaughter the Jizhou army with a devastating momentum, but in the blink of an eye, all the Jizhou troops who finally crossed the water were killed.

The river bank was cleared, and the Jizhou army was driven back to the pontoon bridge, but Zang Ba did not choose to pursue, and after a simple rest, he waited for the next wave of the Jizhou army to come.

The ferocious attack was imminent, the brutal hand-to-hand combat was staged again, the young and fresh lives of the soldiers on both sides fell on the south bank of Gushui, and were washed away by Gushui, the blood instantly dyed Gushui red, and the stumps became food for fish and shrimp in the river, and of course, the corpses that were washed away, they were destined to be buried in the ground, what a sad thing, but at this moment, in the battlefield, who cares about these things, at this moment they don't even have a chance to breathe, I only know that I think of the enemy wielding the ring hand knife in his hand, like a killing machine.

In the bloody and bloody battlefield, every soldier has become a numb weapon of war, at least at this moment, they have no thoughts, they can't think, they just know how to wave their blades at the enemy and kill each other, otherwise they will pay the price of their lives.

The two sides of the blades come and go, fighting each other, the sound of gold and iron resounding endlessly, the angry scolding when fighting together echoes in the ears, and the screams before death, the drums of the Jizhou army and the Langya army are like thunder, between heaven and earth, the north and south banks of Gushui are resounding with terrible screams.

The terrifying combat effectiveness of the Langya army defused the three attacks of the Jizhou army in a row, and successfully prevented the Jizhou army from landing on the riverbank, but the Langya army did not kill the Jizhou army, so that they did not dare to land on the shore, but also recruited Jiang Qi, who personally led the team to the south bank of Gushui to rush to kill, this time under his command, vowing to rush to the riverbed.

This time the battle situation was the most tragic and cruel, Zang Ba's palm spear had already been dyed red because of blood, and the bright body of the spear made of silver had long been unrecognizable from its former appearance, not to mention the blade, even he had already become a bloody man, as if it had been soaked out of the blood plasma, if he threw away any platinum gun, not to mention that the soldiers could not recognize him, even the Taishan Sikou, who had been calling brothers and sisters all day, was afraid that he could not see that this person in front of him would be Zang Ba, which could know the cruelty of this battle.

Also like Zang Ba are Yin Li and Chang Xuan, they are undoubtedly strong and eye-catching existences like Zang Ba, and there are too many corpses lying next to them, and the crazy killing like the two of them will naturally attract more Jizhou troops to come. (To be continued.) )
