Chapter 455: The Battle of Jinyan Bridge (2)

The front army swooped down, and the rear army advanced, enclosing the entire Jinyan Bridge into a hunting ground, without the slightest retreat.

There are only two roads, either kill the enemy, rush to the opposite bank, or die on the bridge.

At the beginning of the battle, it was tragic and abnormal, blood was spilled everywhere, corpses were everywhere, and the two armies suffered huge casualties. However, for the generals on both sides, this is just foreplay, and they are all fighting for morale. One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, the ancients have long judged, this is the first drum, the fight is morale.

The Jingzhou army is well-equipped, even if it is the surrendered Shu army, it has also obtained the basic equipment of the Jingzhou army: thin iron armor, short knives, shields, guns, the same lot, compared to the leather armor on the body of the Shu army and there is no armor or only a thin piece of iron on the chest as a clothing to protect their lives, the Shu soldiers in the Jingzhou army have been very lucky, at least not in the first battle, a large number of deaths.

The battle line continued to advance to the south bank with the continuous fall of the sergeants in the front line of the Shu army, and it had advanced half the distance, and the bridge body of a Jinyan Bridge forty or fifty zhang long had been occupied by the Jingzhou army.

The armor on the Jingzhou army is indeed much better, even if it is injured, few people are fatal by one blow, at least three or four times before they fall, and the Shu army, as long as they are stabbed or slashed, they will die, and they will be trampled under their feet and killed. Zhang Ren's heart is dripping blood, these are all good sons and daughters in Shu, it's not that they are not brave, they died here just because of the lack of protective gear. And the materials and belongings of the protective gear that should have been equipped have already been put into their cellars and warehouses by various families in Shu under various names, hidden in corners that no one knows.

As a general who grew up from small soldiers, he knows how difficult this process is, the lives of these small soldiers are worthless, no one pities them, in the eyes of those generals from families, they are just consumables used to consume the enemy's troops, if they die, they are all untouchables anyway, just by looking at the faces of Liu Xun and Liu Xuan without the slightest emotion in their eyes, they know the value of these small soldiers in their hearts.

"Kill!"

Zhang Ren still couldn't bear it, even if he died, these soldiers under the command of the capital did not want to die so lowly, he hoped to be able to turn the tide, even if the hope was extremely slim.

Zhang Yi roared angrily, and the sergeants under his command crowded to make way for a way, and immediately let him leap forward.

Zhang Ren's gun was sharp, elegant with undisguised killing intent, and when the tip of the gun flashed, a Jingzhou sergeant was killed, and in a few breaths, more than a dozen Jingzhou sergeants died under his gun, leaving an open space. Seeing that the main general was so brave to charge and kill, the Shu army was greatly boosted, and they roared and moved forward, and they actually blocked the offensive of the Jingzhou army.

Zhang Ren's early action did surprise many people, and also made the Jingzhou army's smooth offensive sluggish, Huang Zhong commanded the main Jingzhou archers, and immediately ordered the bow infantry to move forward, with an order, thousands of bows and arrows shot into the Shu army camp like a torrential rain again, Zhang Ren, the most eye-catching in the Shu army, naturally became the target of the public, and the attack on him was the most intensive.

Hearing the sound of breaking the air, Zhang Ren raised his eyes and saw it, and immediately felt a chill in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Raise the shield!" ”

Hearing Zhang Ren's order, he hurriedly shook off his opponent, raised the wooden shield in his hand, and protected his body, and those who didn't care about it for a while and reacted a beat slower were shot into hedgehogs, and even some Jingzhou soldiers were also hit by pond fish, unfortunately hit by arrows.

A large number of people and horses in the Shu army suddenly fell, and they were no longer able to resist, the forward front line rushed and retreated backwards, Zhang Ren was even more suppressed and unable to move, and the mount he sat on had already been shot with countless arrows and fell to the ground.

Zhang Yi waved his gun to block the arrows, and retreated backwards on the other, although he himself hated infinitely, but he also knew in his heart that among these thousands of troops, he was at most a stronger ant, and he could not shake the whole situation.

The defeat of the Shu army made Liu Xun and Liu Bi very resentful, and they were even more angry at Zhang Ren's self-assertion, but this is not the time to care about these things, so they can only take care of the overall situation first.

Liu Xun looked at Liu Xuan and said, "Uncle Clan, please come out!" ”

Liu Xuan nodded with a gloomy face, turned away, and then the right-wing army moved forward and killed at the bridgehead.

Huang Zhong's wave of arrows created an excellent opportunity for the Jingzhou army, and the soldiers of the former army rushed in an instant, killing the Shu army at the bridgehead. Huang Zhong continued to push forward and create this opportunity for his own side. When Lei Tong saw the opportunity coming, he immediately took the lead and rushed to Zhang Ren, who was embarrassed.

Zhang Ren was aggrieved in his heart, he was defeated, and there were still people who came to take advantage of the fire to rob, where could he bear it, he raised his gun and faced Lei Tong.

"The traitor general Lei Tong, as a Shu general, betrayed Xichuan, do you know how to write the word loyalty?" Zhang Ren was angry and scolded.

Lei Tong blocked Zhang Ren's sharp shot, and did not forget to fight back: "People should know that they conform to the general trend, and those who know the times are Junjie, you Zhang Renkong has a skill, and he has lived for many years in vain for decades!" ”

The two of you come and go, attack and defend to a certain extent, each does not give way, and the end is wonderful. Although Zhang Ren is a famous general in Shu, Lei Tong is also a famous general for a long time, and his martial arts are not bad, it is more difficult to say that he is competent for Zhang Ren, but in the current situation, as long as he entangles Zhang Ren, he can let the army under his command rush forward to kill, this is a great achievement, and there are Jingzhou generals coming behind him, there is nothing to worry about, every move is attacked, it must be a thunderous blow, but it is difficult for Zhang Ren to be distracted for a while.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the south of the bridge, the two of them fought a move, and when they looked up, it turned out that it was Liu Bi, the right wing of the Shu army, who raised troops to kill, Zhang Ren's face was slightly happy, and he turned around and killed: "Look at the traitor who killed you first!" ”

Lei Tong already knew Zhang Ren's methods, which were much more than his own, and hurriedly raised twelve points of energy to deal with it, and the two were inseparable again.

Wu Yi hurriedly led the army forward, and Li Yan, Fei Guan and other generals next to him commanded the men and horses to move forward and killed their former colleagues and brother-in-law on the opposite side.

The Shu army was affected by Zhang Ren's previous defeat, and retreated, and was occupied by Jingzhou A large open space at the bridgehead, and with the continuous support of the rear army, the results of the battle were rapidly expanded, and the space of the battlefield was immediately relaxed, and more generals such as Zhuo Ying, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan waved their troops from behind, and the defense line formed by the Shu army under Zhang Ren and Liu Bi was fully short-handed, forming an arc-shaped impact line, like a shock wave formed by a heavy punch, which was spreading outward.
