Chapter 90: The Battle of Dingjun Mountain (3)

Under the roar of the cavalry, the war horses flew along the slope and rushed to the mountain peak with their hooves, and the speed was terrifying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is closer, closer, closer, closer to the trench dug by the Shu army. After the Shu army dug the trench, they spread a layer of branches on top of the trench, and then sprinkled some dirt on it, if you don't stand nearby, you will definitely not be able to see that this place has been manipulated.

A thin layer of branches could not withstand the trampling of the cavalry. I saw that as soon as the war horse in the front of the Wei cavalry stepped on the top of the trench, the soil fell down instantly, and a trench about a zhang wide left and right appeared. After the war horse stepped into the air, the war horse and the soldiers on the horse fell involuntarily, and the cavalry on the horse did not have time to make any reaction. The trench was already covered with sharp objects, and when the horses and cavalry fell, they immediately heard the painful neighing of the horses and the screams of the cavalry.

Because the trench appeared very suddenly, and the speed of the war horses was very fast, so in the blink of an eye, dozens of war horses fell into the trench. Some cavalrymen reined in their horses in time after seeing the sudden appearance of the trench in front, but the soldiers behind these cavalry did not have time to do anything, and the war horse crashed headlong into the war horse that had just been strangled in front, and the war horse that had just stopped in front of it was hit by this impact, and could no longer control it and fell into the trench in front. The war horses in the rear were also injured under this collision, and some of the war horses directly threw out the soldiers on the horses.

After falling into the trench with nearly a hundred war horses, the war horses in the rear finally stopped in front of the trench. At this time, the trench had almost been filled with wounded war horses, and the cavalry who stopped behind slowly came to the trench, looking down at the wounded war horses and cavalry in the trench, and the faces of the cavalry unconsciously showed a complicated expression, looking both anger and fear, as well as a trace of panic. No one expected that there would be such a deep trench on this flat road.

Apparently these trenches were dug by the Shu army defending this peak.

At this time, the cavalry stopped in front of the trench hesitated, if they continued to rush forward, they were bound to step on the body of the war horse or soldier in the trench, but now the soldier or war horse in the trench did not suffer much trauma, the serious thing was just a fracture, but the war horse and the soldier who fell into it at the beginning were not lightly smashed by the war horse that fell into it later, and there was no possibility of survival. But if the one who fell into it later is rescued now, it can be saved. But if you keep moving forward and the horse's hooves step on these horses and soldiers, then these soldiers or horses will definitely die.

The soldiers of the Wei army hesitated, no one wanted to kill their partners with their own hands, but it was not a way to stop like this, if they wanted to save the war horses and soldiers in the trench, it would take a lot of time, which they could not afford.

The stagnant movements of the soldiers were seen by Zhang He behind him, and Zhang He was also stunned for a moment, but experience told him that something should be wrong.

I saw Zhang He's legs clamping his crotch and getting off the war horse, and the war horse suddenly ran quickly forward.

When he came to take a closer look, Zhang He was also angry.

"The cunning and treacherous Shu army actually did such a small thing."

It is not a way for the soldiers to stop in this place all the time, the expression on Zhang He's face changed again and again, and he suddenly felt ruthless, and said:

"The whole army continues to charge, and those who dare to stagnate will be killed, and those who retreat will be killed."

"General, the following is our own army, our partners!" A Qu Chang said hurriedly after hearing Zhang He's order.

After hearing the soldier's words, Zhang He became even more angry, only to see Zhang He raise the big knife in his hand, raise his hand and wave it towards this Qu Chang. Thinking about how Qu Chang could have thought that his general would kill him, he didn't have time to react, and his head was cut off by Zhang He.

"There are those who dare to speak again, like this man."

"Charge the whole army."

Under the deterrence of Zhang He's killing of one person, the stagnant Cao army did not continue to stop, and began to continue to charge forward.

Under the spur of the soldiers on the horses, the war horses rushed forward with their hooves flying forward. The soldiers on the horse had their eyes closed, and none of them dared to look at the scene below, but the terrible cries of the horses in the trench and the soldiers as they were trampled over could reach the ears of these soldiers, and then into the hearts of these soldiers.

Slowly, slowly, the screams grew weaker and weaker, until they could no longer be heard.

The horses galloped so fast that with a few blinks of their eyes, all the cavalry rushed across the trench, and the infantry behind followed the cavalry and charged forward. Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps.

"Plop, plop" a few sounds came.

More than thirty paces ahead, another trench appeared, and several cavalrymen fell down again, and the tragic situation was the same as the one just now.

How can there still be a trench, how can there still be a trench. Seeing that the cavalry fell into the trench one by one and was crushed to death by his own horses, Zhang He was angry at this time, and shouted loudly:

"The whole army stopped charging and stood by in place."

However, this one trench made hundreds of Cao cavalry lose their names.

These soldiers have gone through a lot of wars, and they are all the elite of the army! You can't just fill the trench for nothing! After Zhang He thought of this, he hurriedly gave the order to stop advancing.

Who knows if there is a trench ahead, and now judging from the distance between Zhang He's location and the Shu army's barracks, it is very likely that there will be a trench.

The cavalry could no longer be allowed to rush to the front. Zhang He paid attention to it.

"The cavalry retreats, the infantry moves forward, watch your feet." Zhang He gave another order, although this would delay some time, but it was undoubtedly the safest to do so.

Under Zhang He's order, hundreds of soldiers each took a shield and walked forward slowly. It's as slow as a walk.

Slowly, slowly, these hundreds of soldiers walked forward for more than twenty steps, and they were getting closer and closer to the camp of the Shu army.

"Shoot the arrows." I don't know who in the Shu army camp shouted, and suddenly I saw countless flying swords flying out from above the Shu army camp, roaring towards the Cao army in front.

"Be careful, bow and arrow."

When one of the generals in Cao's army heard the sound, he shouted loudly.

After hearing the shout, he suddenly saw Cao Jun, who was moving forward slowly, stopped, picked up his shield one by one, and raised his hand above his head. However, it was too late, thinking about how fast the bow and arrow was, many Cao Jun had not had time to raise the shield in their hands, and the flying arrows on their heads shot down.

After a burst of shouting, nearly half of the hundreds of Cao troops who were exploring the way in front were lost.

"Back off, back off." One of the generals shouted loudly, it should be the leader of these hundreds of people.

"No retreat, no retreat. Besides, those who retreat will be killed. Zhang He, who was in the rear, hurriedly shouted after seeing that the soldiers in front of him were showing signs of retreating.

Then Zhang He ordered his own soldiers to cut off a few retreating soldiers, and finally stabilized the soldiers in front. The soldier who had been moving forward would be cut off when he saw that he was retreating, and he also raised the shield in his hand and walked forward slowly.

But this time these Cao Jun learned to be obedient, these people no longer scattered, but together, people next to each other, each with a shield held by a hand on the top of their heads, so that there is a gap between the shield and the shield, all the shields are combined into an oversized shield, protecting Cao Jun below.

The bows and arrows shot out of the Shu army camp also lost their power at this time, and only occasionally one or two flying arrows might happen to hit the Cao army below through the gap in the shield, and most of the flying arrows were still blocked by the shield.

This method is really effective, and the Cao army has been moving forward like this, although the speed is very slow, but it is indeed getting closer and closer to the camp of the Shu army.

Cao Jun, who was a few hundred people, slowly moved forward under the protection of his shield.

"Huh!"

A Cao soldier spoke.

"This place is soft, and it should be empty underneath." The soldier looked up and spoke, and then moved one of his feet, which must have been another trench under his feet.

When Zhang He learned that there was still a trench, he was both happy and anxious in his heart, and he was happy that he had discovered the trench of the Shu army, so that the soldiers would not die in vain; What I am anxious about is what to do with this trench, and I can't let the soldiers fill it with their bodies.
