Chapter 328: The Army of Jinfan

That night, Ling Cao proposed to attack again, but was told by the soldiers that Lei Bo had three thousand wide-eyed soldiers in the upper reaches and opposite of the small river, let alone a few thousand, and I was afraid that even a swimming fish would not want to pass through. Zhou Tai proposed to climb over the hills again, but Lei Bo is also a battle-hardened person, how could he give the other party this opportunity, under the hills, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, not to mention, it is already extremely difficult to smoothly pass through the rugged hills after dark.

The army was trapped in the camp, and Lu Su had nothing to do, so he had to order the soldiers to rest in turn to prevent the Yuan army from suddenly attacking.

In order to ensure that the all-night trebuchet attack would not be in danger of "ammunition failure", Lei Bo ordered 1,000 soldiers to be responsible for mining "ammunition", they selected a convex hill, and after removing the floating soil on the surface, the sound of tinkling stones did not stop for a moment since the attack began, and after a day and a night of mining, the small hill was almost moved to the ground.

Finally, when the red sun came to an end, there were only three overwhelmed trebuchets left, and the front-line defense facilities of the Shu army on the opposite side were also destroyed. When the news reached the quarry, even if they took turns to fight, the thousand soldiers who were still tired and almost collapsed did not even have the strength to cheer, so they lay down in the quarry, and at this moment they had only one feeling - it was a thousand times more difficult to lift a finger than to let them go to a bloody battle with the enemy.

Lei Bo is one of the more capable people in the Yuanshu Group, and he is very good at leading troops, and he gathered the team after a while. In this battle, he planned to use 10,000 soldiers as the vanguard, with 40,000 soldiers as the backing, once the forward rushed into the Shu army camp, after gaining a firm foothold, the 40,000 main force immediately swarmed up, and the Shu army that had no way to escape was devoured cleanly.

What this meant was obvious to Yuan's army, and the soldiers in charge of surveillance immediately reported to Lu Su.

Lu Su and others had long expected this, did the 60,000 army not attack because they were here for tourism? It's just that Lei Bo launched an attack so quickly was still a little beyond his expectations, originally he thought that Lei Bo would continue to use the trebuchet for another day, and wait for his morale to collapse before attacking......

Lu Su, who had already made a plan for how to deal with Yuan's attack, immediately ordered the 1st Independent Brigade of the Navy Army to enter the remnants of the fence, kill and wound a large number of enemy troops, and retreat to the rear; The 10,000 officers and men of the Second Fleet of the Navy were led by Zhou Tai, and the second line of defense was set up 300 zhang behind the fence, and the other officers and men of the Second Fleet stayed behind the town to support the front-line battle at any time, and at the same time guard the river and hills, and once the enemy attacked from these places, they would resolutely repel at all costs; The 2nd Independent Cavalry Brigade built a defensive line on the left flank of the battalion, attacked the enemy troops in the battalion from the flank, relieved the pressure on Zhou Tai, and protected the safety of Zhou Tai's left flank; Lu Su and Sima Lang are in the middle and high, and they plan the overall situation.

Ling Cao led the troops to enter the position not long after, the Yuan army launched an attack, a large number of crows and crows Yuan army carried hundreds of ladders, pushed more than 30 wells, howling and forced up, at this time, if you can be condescending, you will find that the weapons and armor of the Yuan army reflect a dazzling light under the red sun, and even make you have the illusion that it is a clear water under the light breeze under the sun.

"It's all hidden for me, and no one is allowed to show his head without my orders!" Ling Cao shouted.

The first independent brigade of the navy is the Jinfan Army, which is a strong brigade formed by Liu Zhang at the request of Gan Ning, and has been taken care of by Liu Zhang and Gan Ning at the beginning of its establishment. Therefore, even the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade could not say that the name of this elite was justified, and they had long been looking forward to using a hearty victory to justify their name, and the officers and soldiers of the First Independent Brigade of the Navy could not hide their excitement one by one, and after listening to Ling Cao's shouts, they slowly calmed down and hid their figures through the broken fence.

Ling Cao continued to shout: "After hearing my order, the first and second battalions attacked the enemy's wells with all their might, and the archers all used rockets and crossbowmen to maintain a dense output to relieve the pressure on the brothers; The third, fourth, and fifth battalions attacked the enemy in Bandu, and if the enemy rushed in front of him without paying 3,000 casualties, none of you would want to smell meat for the next three months, and the name of the elite would never be mentioned again! When the enemy troops rushed to the front and rear, the third and fifth battalions engaged the enemy in close combat, and the fourth battalion continued to attack the enemy in the middle of the crossing, making it difficult for the enemy's follow-up troops to enter the battlefield. I don't want you to annihilate all the enemy forwards, but as long as the enemy troops cross the moat, you are not allowed to put one back, do you hear clearly? Perhaps under the influence of Gan Ning, at the beginning of the establishment of this unit, the heroic and unruly, unruly and empty-eyed character of Gan Ning was integrated into the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade, even Ling Cao.

5,000 people raised their arms at the same time and shouted in unison: "There is no return, there is no return, there is no return......

Lei Bo, who was preparing to attack, listened to the murderous shouts of the Shu army on the opposite side, and couldn't help but feel a trace of solemnity in his heart, he didn't expect that the Shu army could maintain such a strong morale after being attacked passively and without the power to fight back for a day and a night, maybe the attack should be suspended? However, looking at the army that had already set off, he understood that he was already ready to send it at this time, and he had to send it, otherwise, it would only be himself who would be the first to disintegrate!

Not long after, the Yuan army arrived in front of the moat, and a fierce rain of arrows immediately burst out above the well, and the dense arrows fell on the Shu army's position like hail, fortunately, the Shu soldiers had already been reminded by Ling Cao, all of them were hidden tightly, and the Yuan army gained little.

In front of him, the Shu army was suppressed and couldn't raise his head, and the general of the Yuan army who was in charge of the attack on the front line gave an order, and one after another cloud ladders were put down, connecting both sides of the moat.

"The general's order: the first person to storm the enemy camp will be rewarded with five hundred gold; Whoever kills the enemy's head will be rewarded with hardware; behead a general, and a reward of 100 gold; Whoever captured the enemy chieftain Lusu, the general asked for merit for him in front of His Majesty the Emperor...... If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you will rush me......" The general of the Yuan army, who was hiding behind a well, shouted.

Perhaps it was the rich bounty that stimulated all the officers and soldiers, but I saw Yuan Jun cheering in unison and jumping onto the rickety ladder.

The Shu army still hasn't moved!

When the soldiers of the Yuan army walked to the middle of the ladder, the middle of the ladder that could not bear the weight of the soldiers had been soaked in the water, the turbid moat water submerged the traces of the ladder, many soldiers who stepped on the deviation fell into the water with their teeth and claws, and the water of the moat river that only reached their chests naturally could not drown them, and they were startled and showed their heads and spit out the sewage in their mouths and scolded and stepped on the bottom of the river to the opposite bank.

Seeing that the enemy army had arrived in the moat, Ling Cao picked up the crossbow in his hand and shot the first crossbow arrow of the Shu army's counterattack while ordering the whole army to attack.

In an instant, thousands of soldiers jumped up behind the originally dead Shu army fence, and five thousand long-range weapons, including crossbows, bows and arrows, and single-shot crossbows, showed their terrifying side......

As an elite division built with reference to the first independent infantry division and the first independent infantry brigade, the first independent brigade of the navy can be said to be armed to the teeth, with a total of 5,000 people in the whole brigade, divided into five battalions, of which the first and second battalions are sharpshooter battalions, a total of 2,000 people, and the third, fourth, and fifth battalions are spear battalions, a total of 3,000 people. Among the archers, the archers and the repeaters were divided into half, and all the archers wore iron armor and helmets, and were equipped with a ring-headed sword for melee combat; The spearmen's main weapons were spears, leather armor and iron helmets, which seemed to have weakened their defenses, but in fact they were not, because each pikeman also held a chest-high shield to defend against enemy attacks, and each pikeman was also equipped with a single-shot crossbow for long-distance engagement. Its equipment is even more luxurious than the 1st Independent Infantry Division and the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, which shows how high Liu Zhang's expectations are for this unit. Because of this, when they first set foot on the official battlefield, they immediately gave the enemy a taste of what is called a "rain of bullets".

Yuan Jun suddenly felt as if the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and their thoughts that they didn't have to fight under the scorching sun had just risen, and arrows that were thousands of times hotter and more cruel than the scorching sun had already descended on their heads......

The screams of the blood mist splashed in the ears resounded for dozens of miles, and the Yuan army fell in decline, and in an instant, the turbid moat turned a disgusting dark red after being injected with a large amount of blood.

It seems that the ubiquitous arrows instantly disrupted the enemy formation, Yuan Jun rushed under the sudden blow, those soldiers who stepped on the ladder felt that they and their companions who moved slowly became the enemy's best target, under the wave of fierce offensive, there was no figure on the ladder in a blink of an eye, most of the arrows fell into the water, and a small number of Yuan Jun who did not want to be the target jumped into the water without thinking about it, they thought that the enemy who fell into the water could be aimed at the part sharply shrunk, The chance of self-survival is greater, but they didn't expect that after jumping into the chest-length water, they immediately felt like their legs were nailed to the riverbed, and their movement speed was reduced to the point of being comparable to that of a snail, but they made themselves an excellent target. The crimson of a canopy spreading in the water made their pants wet, and the only good thing was that others wouldn't know about it, and they finally saved some face! But what's the use of face? Those who enter the water are killed one by one, and it may be their turn next...... No one taught, and the remnants of Yuan Jun reacted and took a big breath almost at the same time, bent his knees and sank into the water.
