Chapter 1065 The Fragrance of Rice Flowers Says Harvest Year
The bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow, is a new invention of Luban in recent years, which is based on the tension crossbow, and the efficacy, size, and range of the crossbow are increased. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 He combined two or three bows to greatly enhance the tension and strength of the crossbow, and when the crossbow was opened, the craftsmen of the Zhao State used thick ropes to attach the crossbow strings to the winch, and the warriors squeaked and shook the winch and opened the crossbow strings, while the material officials set up the giant arrows and adjusted the distance. When it is fired, a sturdy soldier raises a large wooden hammer and slams the trigger!
With a loud "boom", the machine flicked, and a giant crossbow with the thickness of a human arm shot out, passing through a distance of two hundred and fifty steps, and was in the middle of the dense Wu army array!
didn't even have time to scream, and when the others came to their senses, there was only one unlucky ghost who was hit in the chest by the bed crossbow and his entire body was torn to pieces, and a circle of wounded people who were affected next to him, and the whole array seemed to have been torn open by a wild beast.
All the Wu people were dumbfounded, Wang Sun Gu Cao also lost the momentum just now, cardiac arrest, he suddenly realized that experience had harmed him again, and he had actually led the soldiers into another trap.
I didn't have time to think about it, the dense crossbow machine arrow rain followed, although the crossbow was much slower than the arm crossbow in the winding speed, but the victory was in the long range, the crossbowmen could hide behind the phalanx and release arrows wantonly, relying on the crossbow arrows numerous, the important thing was to suppress the enemy, and the quasi-head became the second.
For a time, the front part of the Wu State Array, which had no heavy armor and fortifications, was almost swallowed by arrows, and one after another fresh lives were nailed to death in the paddy fields, and the screams were mixed with the residual fragrance of rice flowers and the sound of panicked frogs. Wu Guoren, who was still shouting just now, began to show timidity, and involuntarily retreated backwards, the scene of being shot to death by a bed crossbow was too shocking, and an ordinary crossbow machine can also tear the human body to pieces, and it is a death if you stand in front.
However, Wang Sun Gu Cao knew that once they turned around, the Zhao army on both flanks would cover up, and the only advantage of the Wu army would also disappear and be slaughtered.
He had no time to regret the raid, and the commander of the state of Wu also stood on his feet in the paddy field, and when everyone was about to retreat, he drew his sword and killed two panicked soldiers, and in order to encourage everyone, a series of Wu words were sung from his mouth......
Many people stopped, struck their shields with their swords, and chanted along with Wangsun and Aunt Cao, the atmosphere of the entire Wu array was condensed, and the rain of arrows in the sky did not seem to be terrifying.
"What are they singing?" Ran Qiu noticed this change, and while strategizing, he also turned his head to ask the translator who was accompanying the army next to him.
The translator was coarse in Wu, and he was also shocked by the situation in front of him, and was stunned before he said: "General, this is a funeral song, the funeral song of Wu Guo "Yu Funeral" ......"
"The body is dead, and the ...... is buried in Shanyang"
"The mountains are majestic, the sky is vast......"
"There is no life or death. The soul returns, to see the mountains! ”
Twenty years ago, the Wu people entered the Chu State with the King of Wu to conquer the city, and enjoyed the extravagant life that they dreamed of in this life in the prosperous Yingdu, which has also become the most worthy of boasting about the story of their sons and nephews in the next ten years. This time when he went north to the Central Plains, the reason why the young Wu people were able to endure the heavy service of their husbands, as well as all kinds of hunger and hardship, was not to enter Shangqiu and Qufu and relive the glory told by their fathers?
However, they crashed headlong into a hard wall, and countless fellow villagers died in the small Tangyi, and fell in the paddy fields full of arrow feathers. The blood of the robe aroused their wildness, they were unwilling, they were angry, and they shouted in unison!
"The body is dead, and I will be buried in Shanyang!"
More and more Wu people began to join the ranks of the call signs, as if this was the only way to vent the grief and indignation in their hearts. Under the call of "Yu Funeral", Wu Bing traced the footsteps of Wang Sun Gu Cao, and rushed forward without fear of death, rushing towards the well-arrayed enemy phalanx, and rushing to the crossbowmen who were hiding behind them and constantly harvesting lives......
War is also death or not to fight is also death, the desperate Wu people use their bodies to crash into the enemy's spear, the jade and stone are burned, and they all die, this is a fight with no defense at all, they are to use their bodies to meet the enemy's weapons, they want to exchange their own death for the other party's life. For a time, a fierce scuffle broke out in the paddy field, with flesh and blood flying and screaming endlessly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, although the infantry phalanx stood still under the fierce impact, the generals of Zhao Lu couldn't help but change color, no wonder the Wu army could be invincible in the south, and any army that changed would have collapsed under this fearless charge.
Ran Qiu sighed: "The family has a country, the country has a martyrdom, and the soul returns to see the family and the country...... Brave, pity, it's a pity, these Wu people forgot that this is the country of Lu, not their home state! ”
For the soldiers of Zhao State, it may not be deep enough, but for Ran Qiu and other Lu people, this time the Wu army entered Zou and Lu, which was a naked plunder and invasion!
As Zhao Wuxian said to them, the only thing that greeted the bandits was swords and spears!
He ruthlessly raised the banner and said: "If China does not revitalize the brigade, it will be barbaric, the countries have their own feudal territory, and no matter how strong the Jiaolong in the south is, it will not come to the north to do so." We will pass this battle, so that the people of Jiangnan will be in a hurry to the north in the next hundred years, and they will not dare to cross the Huai for half a step! ”
Under his order, another burst of crossbows was released, and the rain of arrows flew towards the battlefield, and the dense arrows were like an impenetrable net, which completely caught the Wu people who were as flexible as loaches in the paddy fields......
……
An hour later, the long battle finally came to an end, and the long-awaited cavalry on the ridge poured out of their nests and rushed towards the remnants of the fleeing Wu people, who galloped by, the sun shining on the tip of the spear, and the more than 1,000 Wu people who had survived from the rain of arrows were completely scattered under their impact, like ceramics beaten by a hammer.
Ran Qiu did not participate in the final massacre, he allowed the generals to search for the wounded, capture the prisoners, and let the military judge supervise the soldiers of each army to cut off the heads of the Wu people in an orderly manner. He himself sat on the ridge of the field, looking at the ruined rice fields in a daze.
At the end of the battle, it was already evening, the setting sun was reflected on the paddy fields, which were full of corpses covered with arrows, and I don't know whether it was because of the sunset or because of the blood, this vast rice field was red, and the toads and loaches hiding in the mud came out after the movement stopped, and swam in the bloody water.
Ran Qiu just held a stalk of rice that had not yet been soaked in blood, not knowing what to think, until his musings were broken.
"General, the cavalry caught these two men a few miles away."
Ran Qiu looked back, one was an embarrassed middle-aged man, hanging his head and not daring to look at him, and the other was a pot-bellied martial artist, with a beard on his face, pointing at Ran Qiu and laughing, and finally said in a thick Fei dialect:
"I really didn't expect that the boy from the west who followed Zhong Ni back then is now the general who commanded the three armies!"
Zhao Lu's generals were furious and wanted to kill these two people, but Ran Qiu stopped them, and only after staring at them for a while did he say in surprise: "Gongshan Yi Zai? And the person next to him, who else could it be if it wasn't his comrade uncle and grandson?
ps: The funeral song can't be compiled, so I borrowed Yan Leisheng's "National Mourning".
