Chapter 1242 Yan Shu Confrontation, a small test.
twilight
The slanting sun gradually sets from the west mountain, looking from the distance in the Longshou Pass, the remnant sun has a little brilliance, as if it is in the darkness with the southern Jinguan City, waiting for another rising sun
In the Yan military camp outside the Guan, Sun Yixuan personally commanded the flying army to take off, and moved to the south in the slanting sun that seemed to be making the last struggle
The flames burning under the hot air balloon seemed to bring a new dawn to the Shu army
The Yanshu male soldiers, facing each other across the passes, are only ten miles apart
In the evening breeze at dusk, the flying cavalry marching forward in the air stood in the hot air balloon, and clearly saw the defense in the southern dragon head pass
Guarded by the mountains and built along the river, the military camps are full of rare flat areas in the pass, looking at each other from high altitudes, like mushrooms covering the ground
In the flying army, there are elite soldiers with crossbows in their hands, and there are elite soldiers with torches, waiting for the day, just waiting to transfer the sky above the Shu military camp, and take the lead in launching the first wave of attacks on the other Shu army
The Shu army camp was vigilant and actively prepared for war
The patrol looked vigilant, grabbed the short sword in the camp, and strode back and forth, and the patrol soldiers did not dare to relax in the slightest
The military orders are like a mountain, and the soldiers dare not relax
The main elite, inspect the ordnance, polish the sword, rest the longbow
These elite soldiers know that sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, a fierce battle is imminent, in the battlefield, whose sword is sharper, whose arrows are sharper, whose longbow has a long range, although it cannot change the outcome of the war, but kill the enemy in battle, at least save life,
To the north of the camp, an archer, who had just adjusted his bowstring, smiled at the corner of his mouth, stood up from the ground, drew his longbow sharply, and aimed at the northern sky
His eyes passed through the bowstring, and suddenly, he saw a huge object approaching in the northern sky, and hurriedly put away his longbow, and looked at it carefully, and noticed that there were many fire-breathing objects approaching in the sky
Suddenly remembered that at noon, the captain reminded him to beware of threats from the sky
didn't dare to hesitate, grabbed the longbow tightly, and while running wildly, he shouted wildly to the robe on all sides: "Yan Army, Yan Army Air Raid!"
"Yan Army Air Raid!"
"Yan Army Air Raid!"
~
The panicked and hurried sound, like earth-shattering thunder, spread all around
Those patrol soldiers, the elite of the repair soldiers, all those who heard the reminder, all turned to look up into the distance, looking at the northern sky
Dense white fire-breathing balloons, coming from the northern sky, like giant monsters, rushed out of the clouds and rushed straight to the dragon's head
"Yan Jun!"
"The Yan army is coming!"
"Fight with all arms, resist the enemy, resist the enemy!"
~~~~~~~~~
In the sound of drums, the panic of the mixed soldiers, the captain, the command of the lieutenant, the lieutenant, in an instant, in the middle of the dragon head pass, the Shu military camp was noisy and chaotic
Zhang Shengchen and Han Yuanqing, hearing the noisy shouting of the camp, rushed out of the tent, looked in the direction of the soldiers, and saw that there were flying troops in the sky, and panicked for a while
"Vice Marshal Han, hurry up to Qianguan and order the guards to defend, be sure to rely on all kinds of defensive ordnance to resist the enemy outside the pass" Without any thought, Zhang Shengchen immediately issued a military order and prepared to meet the enemy
Han Yuanqing shook his head, turned around and suddenly drew his sword, strode forward, shuttled and panicked, and shouted: "All lieutenant generals, captains, take the tent and make a strong pawn, defense, resist the enemy, resist the enemy, hurry up to resist the enemy"
Zhang Shengchen's face was colorless, his sword was erected, he stared at the front to change the chaotic soldiers, and shouted: "The whole army is hidden, quickly hidden"
In the battlefield, for the first time, he saw the flying army that frightened the northern princes and made the Shu army suffer heavy losses in Centipede Ridge, Zhang Shengchen knew that the Shu army was located on the ground, and it could only kill the enemy with bed crossbows and catapults, except for the shuri sword and longbow, and the threat to the flying army was untraceable
If you want to avoid the attack of the flying army, you can only find cover to hide, wait for the opponent to reduce the flight altitude, and then find the right time, thunder shot, and kill suddenly
The commander, the deputy marshal, and the commander's orders came out one after another, and in the camp, the panicked soldiers gradually became like lost children, knowing what to do
Running from place to place, weaving through the barracks, looking for shelter
Han Yuanqing galloped at speed, came to the front pass of the dragon's head, ordered the garrison to fight, adjusted the bed crossbow, catapult, and aimed at the flying army in the sky
This is their only weapon to kill the enemy, whether they can become a divine weapon and assist the Shu army to resist the enemy, it needs to be tested in actual combat
"Put the spear and shoot!"
"Gravel, shoot!"
Han Wonqing personally went to the front line of the battlefield and commanded the defenders to fight
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
In the sky, Sun Yixuan led the troops first, paying attention to the military battle in Guannei Shu, pointing his horse swords straight at the ground, shouting wildly, urging the soldiers in the aircraft on all sides
Waiting for the soldiers, hearing the general's order, the crossbows were aimed at the Shu army in the corridor of the wall and quickly deployed
Pull the repeater, and ten thousand arrows are fired
Bursts of arrows rained, like locusts in the sky rushing out of the hot air balloon in the air, overwhelming the sky, and directly attacking the Shu army in the wall
The humming arrows roared, like a life-urging note, creepy and dripping with cold sweat
Han Yuanqing looked up at the sky and noticed a burst of sharp arrows, swooping from the sky, like a torrential rain, the arrows were silver and cold, and in the residual sun, their eyes flashed with light red and cold eyes, which became more and more terrifying
couldn't help but hold the sword to block, and hurriedly reminded the three armies: "The whole army is hidden, look for opportunities to fight"
Before the aftermath fell, Han Yuanqing took the lead in squatting, hiding behind the wall, hoping to avoid the rain of arrows
The Shu army in the corridor did not dare to hesitate, delayed, and the sound of humming and urging them had to give up the catapult and the bed crossbow to find a hiding place
How can the wind gallop sharp arrows, from the crossbow rushed out of the speed is extremely fast, many Shu troops running, when hiding, are all injured by arrows, or died on the spot, the situation is miserable
What frightened the Shu army was that the Yan army in the sky shot a rain of arrows with crossbows, wave after wave, like a dense torrential rain falling
Deadly raindrops, piercing into the body of the Shu army, covered by the wall, could not resolve the urgent need
On the contrary, it hides and does not move, and is completely reduced to a target
Bursts of miserable screams came from the corridor, which was heartwarming
After the dragon's head, Zhang Shengchen stood in the gate building with a sword, with a solemn expression, witnessing the elite soldiers of the front pass, shot by the flying army, without the power to fight back, and smashed his fist into the wall battlement
Anger, astonishment, powerlessness
Being in Xiongguan couldn't stop the rain of flying arrows, which really made him depressed
In the long run, the Shu army was often harassed, losing troops and losing generals, affecting morale
The words were cold and said to the generals around him: "Beat the drums, order the shield soldiers, go to cover, and prevent the Yan army from landing and taking the pass."
"Yes!" The adjutant next to him bowed his head
According to Zhang Shengchen's guess, the Yan army must have attacked the front pass with elite cavalry, and the flying army attacked the back pass, so most of the elite soldiers with high shields were arranged in the back pass
Who would have thought that Yan Cai did not move, and the flying army went first, which was diametrically opposed to Zhang Shengchen's deployment
From time to time, in the middle of the back pass, the shield soldiers rushed out to form a shield array, as if dragging a huge turtle shell turtle, moving quickly on the ground, galloping to the aid of the soldiers of the front pass
How could the Yan Army in the air, take the aircraft, jump over the aisle of the front pass, go straight to the camp, staring at the mushroom regiment on the ground like a military tent, and did not hesitate to throw down the burning torch
In the gentle evening breeze, the torches whirred, the fire was vigorous, falling from the sky, igniting the military tent, and gradually in the barracks, the fire burned all over the sky, echoing with the western sunset, as if to save the sunset in the west mountain
The fire gradually became fierce, billowing smoke rose into the air, and the shield soldiers moved to the front with the help of high shield cover, the speed of thunder
Quickly form a defense against a continuous chain of arrows in the air
At this time, in the back pass, there were generals staring at the slowly approaching aircraft in the air, looking panicked, and proposed to Zhang Shengchen: "Marshal, the Yan army stormed the front pass, killed the elite soldiers with arrows, burned the military tent, and rushed straight to the back pass, as if preparing to harass the Shu army in Longshou Pass, and finally protect the marshal from the city tower."
The Yan army continued to threaten the defense of the Shu army from north to south, but the Shu army was helpless
At this time, the air Yan army moved to the south, with obvious intentions, wanting to stage a killing attack at Qianguan and kill the Shu army in the corridor
Zhang Shengchen disregarded the fear of his life, located in the city tower, covered in armor, difficult to cover his identity, if the Yan army carried out the beheading, the commander was bound to encounter a threat
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Shengchen heard the voice, he didn't move at all, and shouted: "The marshal is here, he can still stabilize the army's heart, if the marshal escapes, the Shu army in the Guannei will not become a frightened bird."
Looking up at the approaching flying army, he said coldly: "Order the shield array to form a copper wall and iron wall defense, and see how he Yan Army shoots and kills!"
Zhang Shengchen has never encountered this kind of war that is passive everywhere and unable to carry out a counteroffensive, as if he has a thousand strengths, but he can't give full play to it, which makes Zhang Shengchen uncomfortable
"Formation, fend off the enemy!"
"Formation, fend off the enemy!"
The general received the order, commanded with a sword, and spoke angrily
Suddenly, there were many shield soldiers, holding high shields, lined up along the wall battlements, closely linked, in front of Zhang Shengchen, to form a copper wall and iron wall defense
Zhang Shengchen and the Shu army were covered, hiding the archers in the center, pulling their longbows sharply and shooting into the sky to try to threaten the flying army
Sun Yixuan led the troops to arrive, and when he saw the tight defense formed by the Shu army with the high shield in the Houguan City Tower and the corridor, he couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Shengchen was cunning
At the beginning, in the battle of Hankun City, the Qingyuan Heshu army landed, it was to adopt a similar high shield and form a tight defense, so that the crossbowmen were wilted
At this time, the Shu army once again relied on the cover of the high shield, Sun Yixuan raised his hand, signaled the soldiers to stop shooting, wasting arrows, on the contrary, ordered the soldiers, and operated the hot air balloon to approach the city tower \/
At a height of 100 zhang in the sky, Sun Yixuan stared at Zhang Shengchen, who was in the cover of the shield soldiers in the city tower, and laughed wildly: "Zhang Dashuai, Yan Jun has just arrived, are you still satisfied with this generous gift?"
Gift
What a cheeky one!
Zhang Shengchen looked coldly through the gap in the shield array, glared at Sun Yixuan angrily, and shouted: "Thief, don't be arrogant, this handsome guards, you don't want to step through the dragon head pass for half a step."
"Hahaha, Zhang Shengchen, today is just a small dish before dinner, the real delicacy is still behind, if you stick to it, don't let it try!!" Sun Yixuan laughed wildly and warned, ordered the soldiers to operate the hot air balloon to take off, and ordered the nearby soldiers: "Throw all the torches, shoot all the Shu troops without cover, and let Zhang Shengchen have a good taste of the Yan army."
The general order came out, and in an instant, the Yan army's offensive became more and more violent, as if it wanted to fight and completely destroy the Dragon Head Pass
