Wu Sheng was woken up by Wu Chun, the chief of the martial arts, he opened his eyes and saw that in the distance at the junction of heaven and earth, there were clouds that were half black and half red. The bonfires on the riverbank have not yet been extinguished, the charcoal fires are still burning, and the dust is scattered like dandelions in the morning breeze. Several stones were stacked on top of each other, forming a number of simple stoves in various places near and far, in which firewood burned, and the iron pot was steaming, and the smell of food was like an early morning that had never woken up, and it was dizzy and heavy to make people's heads uncomfortable.

The battle formation in front was still tight, the sound of fighting came and went, the fierce mess, the general's shouting orders never stopped, and the wounded were constantly carried to the back of the formation. The pontoon bridge on the river was like a huge sword, stabbed from the east bank in a bloody fire. The soldiers of the Dingyan Army on the bridge were densely packed, like the mountain wind being squeezed into the canyon, and the whistling sound was like crying and complaining. Arrows flew in all directions, corpses floated on the surface of the river, and the smell of blood overshadowed the smell of fish. The summer morning is hazy, the golden sun is shining, Wu Sheng can't feel half of the warmth, he feels like he is in the ice and snow, the air is cold and cold, and it makes people feel sick and disgusting from the bones.

When he stood up, every muscle in his body was torn, and every inch of his muscles and bones seemed to be inserted with a thin needle, as if an arrow had penetrated into his head, and the stinging pain in an instant made him almost unsteady on his feet.

Surrounded by comrades who got up, like Wu Sheng, they were struggling to move their limbs, facing the sun that was not too dazzling, Wu Sheng saw a copper wall extending on the other side of the Yellow River, grabbing halberds like forests and flags like clouds, and the footsteps of the rangers and galloping rolled up wisps of sand, and there was a kind of cruel temperament that made you die heroically.

"The battle has been going on for two days and two nights, and the attack of the thieves is becoming more and more fierce, and it seems that the thieves will be in a hurry to cross the river, and they do not want to drag it out any longer." When squatting on the ground and eating steamed cakes with broth, Wu Chun's bloodshot eyes looked at Wu Sheng, his cheeks were bulging like fish bubbles, and his chewing movements were extraordinarily hard, all of which showed that he wanted to end this unrelated battle errand in his hand as soon as possible, "Whenever you go into battle, you have to fight for at least two hours, we are the first to face the thief army, and we are also the most tired, today may be the last battle...... There are only two of us left, don't embarrass your dead brother. ”

The clay bowl with a missing mouth was steaming, even in the early morning, it made people feel uncomfortable hot, Wu Sheng nodded, drank the broth in one go, his numb tongue did not taste what the hot soup tasted like, in fact, he even ignored that the soup was still hot, his eyes always fell on the river bank where the fierce battle was raging, the pontoon bridge of the Dingyan Army had been built for most of the time, and the last dozens of steps were the most critical part and an excellent battlefield.

Two days and two nights, there was no pause, the soldiers took turns to fight, resting, there were already hundreds of more corpses in the Yellow River, there was nothing else in this world, it seemed that there was only the theme of the dead. Fighting each other, this is the duty of the sergeant, and it is also the unavoidable fate of the sergeant, Wu Sheng expects to be able to drive the Dingyan army back, if the other party knows the difficulty and retreats, it is naturally the best, but this possibility is very small, unless there are huge casualties.

Three poles on the sun.

Wu Sheng followed the battle formation to the riverbank, ready to replace his comrades in the front formation. At the end of the pontoon bridge, that is, in front of the west bank, there are rows of ships side by side, and there are only simple planks on them, and the iron locks will not have time to connect them in tandem in the future, and if the Dingyan army wants to complete this final project and repair the pontoon bridge, it is necessary to clear a clearing on the river bank, and the Shuofang army must hold this last position if they want to prevent the other side from building the bridge.

The bow and crossbow are the main force, and the terrain on the river bank is wide, and the rows of crossbowmen of the Shuofang army can exert their maximum combat power. The crossbowmen of the Dingyan Army on the pontoon bridge could not widen the formation, and their power was much inferior, but they came prepared in the end, and there were many big shields, which depended on the close soldiers of the Shuofang army to kill them back.

There is not one, but two pontoons.

But that's all, no matter how well prepared the Dingyan army is, it can't ignore the width of the river.

On both sides of the river at the west end of the pontoon, there are ships on both sides, and most of the soldiers on board are archers, each of whom responds to their own soldiers and also uses the opponent's ship as a target for shooting.

The battle was brutal.

At the western end of the pontoon, the planks on the ship's horizontal pavement were already stained with blood, and not an inch of them were still of their original color, and the arrows inserted into the planks and hulls were scattered everywhere, so dense that there was hardly room for people to stay. Broken hands and feet can also be seen everywhere, and there are some unrecognizable pieces of minced meat, and there are scorch marks everywhere on the bloody hull, which are the remnants left by Shuo Fang's army's intention to burn the ship.

Just now, the charge of the Dingyan army was repulsed, and a section of the tail of the pontoon bridge was vacant, but the Dingyan army soon pounced again, not giving the Shuo army a chance to destroy the pontoon bridge.

Wu Sheng came to the front of the formation, through the gap in the shield, you can clearly see that the arrow rain is determined that the army is constantly moving forward, their big shield is not weaker than the Shuofang army, although there are many soldiers on the way to the ground with arrows, but the blank is quickly filled, the entire battle array is about to be very close, Wu Sheng can even see the hideous, distorted faces behind the shield, especially a pair of bloodthirsty and cold eyes, like ghost fire.

With the order of the head of the capital, Wu Sheng, who had already replaced the horizontal knife with an iron axe, got on the ship with his comrades and stepped on the unstable planks.

The two collided together, and the shieldbearers roared in unison. This round of competition is about which shield player is stronger, if your shield player can knock over and squeeze the opponent when hitting and squeezing, it will undoubtedly expose the opponent's gap, and your own side can take the opportunity to kill. The shield-bearers were all strong and able-bodied, and the sound of the impact was dull and loud, shaking people's hearts and boiling blood, and their comrades followed closely behind, staring at the front, silently calculating in their hearts the timing and direction of their strikes. In the brutal fight in the battle array, many times the soldiers only shoot once, they can achieve the effect of killing and injuring the enemy, or fall into the situation of being killed by the enemy, so if you don't shoot, you must do your best, in this case, the grasp of the timing and direction, and the fight is extremely important.

Roars and screams came one after another, the soldiers who stabbed the opponent bowed forward, the stabbed soldiers bent backwards, the morale of the slashed soldiers pulled out mountains and rivers, and the slashed soldiers fell to the ground. Time seemed to freeze in time when the first wave of soldiers at the front of the two sides shot, but before the results of the battle could be seen clearly, the second wave of the soldiers who followed had already launched, and there were not many gaps between them. The hull of the ship was shaking and undulating, the heavier the steps of the soldiers, the greater the action, the more intense the hull shaking and undulating, Wu Sheng saw that the soldiers in the two sections of the passage were unstable in the impact, and fell into the river one after another.

The sun should not be too hot at this time, but at this time shining on the armor of the soldiers, it looks extremely blazing, dazzling and dazzling, the slashing blades seem to have a golden light, the sweaty faces are as red as a soldering iron, and the splashed blood is extremely unreal, and everyone who looks at it feels like a monster, and even the screams and roars seem to be far and near, as if they are floating and colliding in the air.

-- However, if a soldier has this kind of feeling, it means that he has been injured and is about to die.

Wu Sheng stepped heavily on the wooden board, the iron axe slashed the opponent's big shield, he felt that the big shield moved back a point, that should be the result of the opponent's shield hand feet being shocked back, before Wu Sheng raised the iron axe and cut it down again, the comrade next to him was already an axe on the big shield, which made the shield hand who did not stand firm completely lose his center of gravity, the body fell, and the shield was crooked, Wu Sheng and his comrades seized the opportunity and swung the iron axe into the opponent's formation.

Although the iron axe is not as flexible as the horizontal knife, it is undoubtedly more powerful, but if it is used hard, it will definitely break the armor on the enemy's body, and at least bring out a piece of flesh and blood, and at worst directly cut the opponent down. Soldiers who fight with an iron axe, if they can't hurt the enemy with one blow between shots, they will suffer the inflexible loss of the iron axe, and they will be killed and injured by the opponent in the interval between returning and re-attacking.

More and more people fell under their feet, because the blood flowed on the planks instead of the ground, from time to time someone slipped on the bloody beach, knocked down a group of people, the plank did not cover all the ships, so there were still people fighting in the cramped hull, and if they missed the blow, they had to hold each other and fall into the river -- more and more people fell into the water, and the ships on both sides of the pontoon bridge on both sides shot each other, killing both the opponent's overboard and the drowning man who took time to save himself.

All kinds of sounds are chaotic and bombard people's eardrums.

The scene looked chaotic.

After more than an hour of fighting, the Shuofang army relied on the strength of the armor and made some progress, forcing the Dingyan army back a lot of distance, but the battle was far from stopping. At this time, the Shuofang soldiers began to use giant axes to cut the pontoon bridge, especially the iron chains. The chain itself is very strong, and it requires a strong person to use a giant axe to keep chopping, and the hull of the ship is shaking so badly that it is not easy to swing the chain. There were also latecomers who kept pouring oil on the hull of the ship, and set fire to it when it was time to retreat.

The generals and colonels on both sides are shouting orders, the Dingyan army must protect the pontoon bridge and iron chain, and the Shuofang army must break the pontoon bridge and iron chain, and the bloody fight is like a wild beast biting, and the soldiers in the battle are either afraid or crazy, the latter has no reason at all in the face of the stimulation of blood and death, and the red-eyed only wants to rush forward, even if he dies with the enemy.

Wu Sheng slipped and fell to the ground, and hit two or three people in a row, but he didn't lose the iron axe, and waved it desperately in front of him, and a soldier of the Dingyan Army found an opportunity to pounce on him, scuffling with him, and the two rolled in a pool of blood, stained with blood, and fell into the hull.

Wu Sheng was pushed into the corner by the other party, choked his throat, and after a while, his face turned blue and purple, and after fighting for a long time, he was already tired, at this time, his arms were desperately slapping the other party, to grab the other party's eyes, but because of the lack of strength, it didn't play any role. From time to time, he smelled a strong smell of blood, not someone else's, but two streaks of blood gushing out of his nostrils. The nosebleed ran into his mouth and stained his teeth red.

The sun was above the other party's head, golden and bright, stabbing Wu Sheng couldn't open his eyes, and the other party's face became a shadow under the scorching sun, and he couldn't see clearly, but Wu Sheng could feel the madness and distortion of that face. At this moment, death is in the sun, in the extremely bright sunshine. Where there is extreme light, there must be darkness, just like the other person's face. The head was squeezed crooked on the hull, Wu Sheng's thoughts were spinning wildly, he suddenly stopped trying to scratch the other party's eyes, he was ridden by the other party, he couldn't reach the dagger in his boots, he desperately untied his already crooked hood, grabbed it and smashed it at the other party's head with all his might.

He lost part of his sense of distance, and the slug did not hit the other party's temple, but waved it in the other party's face, the other party wailed, and the movements in his hand were immediately light, Wu Sheng smashed it twice, and finally let the other party suffer a heavy blow, at the most critical moment of his life, the instinct to survive was stronger than anything else, he actually broke free from under the other party, he did not forget the only weapon in his hand, and grabbed the other party round by round.

The swaying hull of the ship was like a hotbed, and it was like a carriage heading for Huangquan, and the sunlight that stinged his eye mask made Wu Sheng extremely uncomfortable, he wanted to vomit, he couldn't support it and was about to fall, but he didn't, because there was an enemy in front of him who was trying to kill him. The hood was stained with blood and sticky with minced meat, Wu Sheng didn't notice it, one eyeball was hanging on the pocket, and with his movements, he flew into the river, with a bang, the sound of falling into the water was very crisp. Flesh and blood splashed Wu Sheng's face, he had no thoughts in his heart, his mind was blank, and the world in front of him was covered with a layer of blood, just kept waving his head.

He suddenly felt that the smell of blood was extremely attractive, he heard the other party's crying father and mother's screams, and he felt that it was indescribably pleasant, which stimulated the movements in his hands to be faster and more powerful, finally, he couldn't help but shout frantically, although he didn't know what he was shouting, but he felt that he should shout out, he had to shout, because the roar was in his chest, right in his throat, he didn't know, his presumptuous shouting and rampant laughter were sandwiched together, like a ghost crying, no, a ghost cry can't be so chilling.

The other party has long been motionless, when Wu Sheng stopped, his body was out of force, he unconsciously sat down next to the other party, leaning on the side of the boat, breathing heavily, the surrounding environment intruded into his perception, he had never felt that the sun was so bloody, and it was very viscous, and the sparkling river outside the boat made him dizzy, as if the sky and the earth were spinning freely. Gradually, his pupils regained focus, and when he looked to the side, he was terrified when he saw the broken face of the man in front of him—it could no longer be called a face, his facial features were long gone, and half of his head was gone, leaving only a concave surface of blurred flesh, bone residue and broken teeth wrapped in flesh, no human face could be so hideous, it was like a blood basin containing minced flesh. In this basin, Wu Sheng saw the other party's throat and esophagus, because blood was constantly gushing out there. Suddenly, the blood ceased to rise, revealing a black hollow with no bottom in sight, like a whirlpool that was going to pull the soul of a person into it and crush it into powder.

Wu Sheng couldn't hold back any longer, lying on the side of the boat and vomiting wildly.
