Chapter 149: The Officers and Soldiers Are Defeated
"It's strange, what are these red turban thieves doing, it's been almost half an hour, these guys haven't attacked yet, this fucking trick is playing with us." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "On the side of the official army, a general of a thousand households, looking at the Red Turban Army that has not launched an attack, can't help but complain like this.
However, his words immediately attracted Mi Jiang's reprimand: "Shut up for me, why are you in a hurry when the two armies are facing each other, are you in a hurry to reincarnate!" If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, I can't do it, what tricks can this group of red turban thieves give me. ”
When the thousand households heard Mi Jiang's words, they immediately didn't dare to say anything. However, just as he turned his attention back to the Red Turban Army on the other side of the river, there was also a striking incident in front of the river bank on the Red Turban Army's side.
"Hey, where is this red scarf thief fiddling with something?" This Qianhu, looking at the Red Turban Army on the other side of the river, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Damn, it's too far away, I can't see it clearly, but it looks like some tall wooden platform." The deputy Qianhu beside him said to him when he heard this.
"Wooden table?" When Mi Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but put his feet on his feet and looked at the river curiously, but after he saw clearly where the Red Turban Army had built, he couldn't help but shout: "It's not good, this is a trebuchet!" Damn, He Wu and Xu Rongchen are really damned, they don't succeed enough to lose! ”
After seeing clearly what was on the other side, Mi Jiang, who had always been in front of his subordinates, couldn't help but be a little angry at this time, and even scolded the two dead people, He Wu and Xu Rongchen. But scolding and scolding, Mi Jiang, who was born in Jiangmen, did not lose his sense of proportion at this time, and saw that after he finished scolding, he hurriedly shouted, summoned all the crossbowmen in the army and some archers who were good at shooting, and let them stand at the front of the team, and across the river they were also going to attack the Red Turban Army assembling trebuchets on the opposite bank.
Although it is said that the arrows shot in this way are not too lethal at all, Mi Jiang can't control so much at this time, because he knows that if the Red Turban Army completes all the trebuchets, then it will be tantamount to the end for them.
"All the crossbowmen, aim at the thieves' trebuchets and shoot hard, and never let them build the trebuchet!" Looking at the five trebuchets that had been quickly assembled on the other side, Mi Jiang couldn't help but shout angrily.
I have to say that the weapon of the Divine Arm Crossbow is really too powerful, and if the Divine Arm Crossbow is downwind, its maximum range can even reach four hundred meters, which is not inferior to the catapult. Although it was a headwind for these officers and soldiers defending the city today, it was not difficult to shoot arrows through the Rushui water, which was more than 200 meters wide, and to ensure a certain amount of lethality.
But Zhang Shihua, who dreams of having a Divine Arm Crossbow Army all day long, how can he not know the terrifying power of the Divine Arm Crossbow. Therefore, as early as a few days ago, Zhang Shihua was completely prepared for the attack of the divine arm crossbow of the opposite Tartar.
Therefore, when Mi Jiang summoned the crossbowmen of the divine arm and prepared to attack, on the side of the Red Turban Army, under Zhang Shihua's order, a special shield that was more than one person tall and V-shaped was also erected by a sturdy Red Turban sergeant, and let it block the front of nearly eighty trebuchets.
Yes, it is eighty trebuchets, in fact, even Zhang Shihua himself did not expect that the craftsmen in the Red Turban Army could unite to make these trebuchets so quickly. However, for the time being, let's not talk about these trebuchets, but about a special pair of shields.
In fact, everyone must know that in geometry, semi-elliptical and triangular V-shaped objects have the strongest defensive ability, which is why in later life, helmets and helmets are semi-oval.
Therefore, this group of special shields was actually made by Zhang Shihua when he thought of this. Moreover, Zhang Shihua had also experimented before this, that is, at least seventy steps away, it was impossible for the divine arm crossbow to shoot through this kind of big shield.
Therefore, Zhang Shihua didn't pay any attention to the attack on the side of the officers and soldiers at this time, but thought in his heart, how to entertain the goddamn cute group of officers and soldiers on the opposite side later.
As for the result, it was indeed as Zhang Shihua expected, although the Divine Arm Crossbow was extremely powerful, it was only a crossbow arrow after all, and it was not an AK47, and it was impossible to ensure its terrifying lethality at a distance of nearly 200 meters.
Therefore, the arrows fired by the Divine Arm Crossbow only barely caused some confusion to the Red Turban Army who assembled the trebuchet, but under the protection of these hundreds of big shieldmen, it was impossible for those crossbow arrows to hurt the craftsmen behind the crowd.
Therefore, although the offensive of this group of officers and soldiers on the other side of the river has never stopped, it still cannot stop the Red Turban Army from forming the divine arm crossbows.
And Mi Jiang, who was the commander of the defenders of the Ruyang official army, looked at the turtle-like defense of the Red Turban Army on the other side of the river, and couldn't help but sigh weakly.
"That's it, that's it." Looking at the Red Turban Army, who was not affected in the slightest, Mi Jiang couldn't help but say to the generals beside him: "Send it to the Divine Arm Crossbow Army, tell them to stop shooting and retain more physical strength." In addition, give me the order of the sword and shield men, let them take the position of the crossbow army of the god arm, form a defensive front, and now we have a tough battle to fight. ”
"The last general obeys!" When the generals beside Mi Jiang heard this, although they were worried, they still received the order in a loud voice at the first time.
……
After a while, on the bank of the river on the side of the Red Turban Army, without the influence of the officers and soldiers on the other side, soon all eighty trebuchets were formed, and as soon as the formation was completed, Yang Xitong also said to Zhang Shihua, who was in charge of commanding the war, with a respectful face: "General Qiqi, all trebuchets have been formed, please show the general." ”
When Zhang Shihua heard this, his face was calm, and he said to Yang Xitong with a majestic face: "Order, all trebuchets are aimed at the Tartar army formation on the opposite bank, and the stone is thrown to attack!" ”
"The general has an order, throw stones to attack!" A loud herald standing beside Zhang Shihua, after hearing Zhang Shihua's words, immediately shouted at the soldiers commanding the trebuchet below.
"The general has an order, throw stones to attack!" All the heralds below shouted in unison.
And those who heard this order to use trebuchets immediately shouted at the soldiers under their command: "Load stones!" ~~”
Such a roar resounded in the sky, and the soldiers who controlled the trebuchet, after hearing this, immediately followed the order to put a basket of stones that had been prepared a long time ago into the long spoon of the trebuchet. Because it was not a siege, Zhang Shihua specially asked people to prepare these gravels weighing almost ten or twenty catties.
And looking at the stones that had been poured down, those elders immediately waved their fists and shouted: "Throw stones, attack!" ”
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~~" With the roar of these elders, stones of different sizes suddenly rose into the sky, and hundreds of broken stones of different sizes shot by nearly eighty trebuchets were like meteors covering the sky, with unparalleled power, smashing towards the heads of the enemy troops on the opposite bank.
The officers and soldiers on the other side of the river raised their heads one by one at this time, looking at these stones falling from the sky and smashing at them, and they immediately panicked.
"Ah~~ Run! Help, help...... Whoosh~Pengpeng~Pengpeng~~" In an instant, in the military formation of the officers and soldiers on the opposite bank, the screams of the officers and soldiers and the sound of stones falling to the ground resounded on the north bank of Rushui.
The soldiers who were hit by the stones were either immediately turned into corpses, or they fell in a pool of blood wailing, holding their smashed bloody limbs, wailing and screaming for their lives.
Looking at the blurred scene of flesh and blood in front of him, even Mi Jiang, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but feel a little chill down his spine at this time, after all, this kind of unstoppable attack that fell from the sky was too terrifying.
However, Mi Jiang deserves to be Mi Jiang, as a veteran in his forties, although Mi Jiang was scared in his heart, Mi Jiang still desperately mustered up the courage and prepared to maintain order and fight back. Because he found that although such an attack was terrible, the casualties caused were not large, and the attack just now caused more than 100 casualties at most, which was not as good as a casualty from a rain of arrows.
However, just as he was about to shout to maintain order, the commander of the personal guard beside him yelled and threw him to the ground in an instant.
"General be careful!" Mi Jiang, who was thrown to the ground, heard his personal guard commander yelling at him like this after he fell to the ground. Then Mi Jiang heard a scream accompanied by a loud noise, but it was a personal soldier not far from Mi Jiang's side who was smashed on the head by a stone.
The guard's brains were accompanied by blood spurting from his neck, and the other soldiers saw this scene, and suddenly felt a sense of fear of being targeted by death. The extreme fear is madness, and these crazy soldiers are almost like they have found a demon at this time, or they are rushing into the river with red eyes and waving their weapons, or they are fleeing to the rear with their armor thrown away.
The Red Turban Army on the other side of the river saw this, but they couldn't help but boost their morale, these days have been pressed and beaten by those dogs, Tartars, thieves and officers and soldiers on the other side who are not as good as themselves, and the whole army of the Red Turban Army has long been resentful, and today's battle has made them breathe a bad breath.
So, after some projection, the morale of the Red Turban soldiers soon launched a second stone-throwing attack on the enemy troops on the other side of the river. Wave after wave of stones, under the incessant bombardment of eighty trebuchets, almost rained down on the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river.
The so-called sword and shield defense line of the officers and soldiers looked so pale and ridiculous under such an attack.
"Ahh ~~ Help, help, I don't want to die, I don't want to die. "Wails and blood filled the entire army of officers and soldiers, these soldiers who were originally forcibly conscripted by the government, and the morale of these soldiers collapsed like an avalanche under such an attack.
Even when the stone-throwing attack on the side of the Red Turban Army launched six or seven waves, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers in the front were at most more than 500, the soldiers and soldiers who were forcibly recruited in the front were actually defeated by the Red Turban Army, and there were even many frightened officers and soldiers who fled backwards despite the reprimands of the commanders in the army.
"Go back, go back, give me the fuck back." A thousand officers and soldiers, looking at the soldiers who had fled in front of them, couldn't help but pull out their swords and shouted at these deserters. However, before the thousand households could make a move, a whistling flying stone happened to hit the thousand households' head.
The last courage in their hearts completely dissipated when those deserters looked at the head of the Senhu Lord in front of them, smashed to pieces like a watermelon by a stone from the sky. "Run, run!" They held their heads and yelled, go to the fuck of martial arts, now they just want to get away from here.
When the Red Turban Army on the other side of the river saw this scene, it was a doubling of popularity. "Happy, happy, fuck it, after enduring it for so many days, this evil breath in my heart finally spit out all my mother's breath." Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the officers and soldiers on the other side of the strait who had lost their armor, Luo Wensu, who was standing next to Zhang Shihua, said while laughing.
However, Zhang Shihua did not answer Luo Wensu's words, but looked at Luo Wensu with a serious face and said: "Brother Luo, the time is almost up, let the brothers cross the river." ”
"Okay, Bochang, don't worry, I'll leave it to me next, and I'll take the brothers across the river now." After saying this, Luo Wensu, who was full of beard, strode forward, drew his sword, and shouted at the thousands of red-turban soldiers on the bank of the river who were about to cross the river: "Brothers, cross the river!" Fuck it! ”
"Kill! ~~" When the morale-boosting Red Turban Army heard Luo Wensu's words, they immediately jumped onto the boat in groups of three or five, rowing towards the other side of the river with red eyes. Obviously, these soldiers are also vengeful now.
However, when the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river saw this, they became more and more confused, and some of the generals who were gathered around Mi Jiang asked Mi Jiang in a panic: "General, the Red Turban Army has been killed, what should I do, General!" ”
Mi Jiang, who was extremely embarrassed by the Red Turban Army's stone-throwing attack, after hearing the words of the surrounding generals, looked at the expressions full of fear of the surrounding generals and the chaotic military formation in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, gritted his teeth, and said weakly to these generals: "Order, withdraw the troops back to the city, withdraw the troops back to the city!" ”
Besides, after Mi Jiang said this, he seemed to be a little unable to stand all of a sudden, and the whole person seemed to be a little prostration, and his big hand kept covering his heart, obviously this sentence was dug out from his heart.
However, compared to Mi Jiang's unwillingness, the surrounding generals were full of joy after hearing this, after all, they didn't want to throw their lives here so early. Therefore, after receiving Mijiang's order, these generals immediately passed on this order, and immediately rang the ringing gold for the withdrawal of troops.
"Wow~~Wow~~~Wow~~Wow!" The loud sound of gold was heard throughout the entire camp of officers and soldiers in an instant, and those chaotic officers and soldiers, after hearing the sound of gold, suddenly felt as if they had heard the gospel of heaven. I saw that under the leadership of their own hundred households, they used a speed several times faster than the Red Turban Army that crossed the river to attack, and surrounded the "rice" character of Mijiang, and Wuyang and Wuyang rushed towards the city of Ruyang not far away.
