"Beat the drums, attack." Among the strict armor all over the mountains, one was about to stand for a year, wearing jet-black armor all over his body, wearing a cyan cloak on his back, and holding a long iron halberd in his hand. This general has an elegant bearing, although his eyes are not very big, but he is full of energy, coupled with a wide face and a hooked nose, and thin and moderately thick lips, although he is not handsome, but he is definitely not ugly, giving people a feeling of a Confucian general, this person is Zhang He, who was later famous in the Wei State.

In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang He was not brilliant, which may be the reason for following Yuan Shao. The so-called will bear a bear, and the soldiers will bear a nest. Yuan Shao is like this, not to mention Zhang He. It was not until Guandu was defeated and took refuge in Cao Ying that Zhang He's ability was excavated little by little, and in the later period, he became the number one general under the Wei flag and the Zhengyin pioneer in the hands of Sima Yi. Deng Ai, Zhong Hui and others, although they are the main heroes of the destruction of Shu, are far inferior to Zhang He in terms of prestige. It's just a pity that Zhang Herong has been on the battlefield for more than 40 years, and when Zhuge Liang retreated from Qishan on the fifth day, he designed an ambush in Jiange, and Zhang He went to pursue, and was killed by random arrows in the ambush.

At this time, Zhang He gave an order, and ten thousand drums sounded in unison, and the sound shook Zhangshui.

5,000 rocketeers and 3,000 foot soldiers, under the cover of a thousand heavy shields and the urging of drums and horns, began to press forward quickly, and the cavalry on one side was on standby at any time to guard against the sudden attack of the state army.

Zhang He pursed his lips tightly, and there was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell whether he was nervous or excited.

In fact, in Zhang He's heart, he still admires He Chen, and admires his martial arts and courage. Especially daring to welcome the saint to Bingzhou, coercing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes, this skill alone is amazing, which is also what Yuan Shao does not have. At that time, he was engaged in frustration and persuaded Yuan Shao to welcome the emperor to Yecheng, but it was only under the opposition of the trial and Chun Yuqiong that he died without a problem. Of course, his admiration for He Chen couldn't change the determination to attack the city in his heart at this time. Zhang He is very clear about the priority of things and the situation of friend and foe.

"Catapult, put." Xu Huang saw that the enemy army had entered the firing range, and in a pair of murderous pupils, he shrank violently, and then flashed a fierce light, and said viciously.

The catapult convoy, which had already been prepared, moved neatly and consistently, at least hundreds of machine sounds sounded, and in an instant, the rocks falling from the sky rained down like hailstones.

"Dodge." Lu Weihuang's face tightened, and he almost didn't want to shout.

The Hebei army was in chaos in an instant, and the forward formation was somewhat scattered, and the dense group of soldiers was running and hiding. Your mother, this is not a bow and arrow, but a large stone, not to mention hitting the body, even if it is touched lightly, missing arms and legs are indispensable. It's just that the phalanx of soldiers is compact, where can it be completely dispersed at once, and the stones that roar and fall from the sky smash on the shields and soldiers, some directly shatter their brains, and some have their entire heads recessed, countless blood splashes, and terrible screams are endless. Only a handful of stones were emptied and fell to the ground, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

A wave of falling rocks, although only hundreds of casualties, but the powerful deterrent still made the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape feel deep palpitations.

Since Lu Weihuang can take on the vanguard task under Zhang He, he must have some means. Seeing that the first wave of falling rocks had passed, and that the second wave still needed time to reload, he did not hesitate to order a charge.

"Bow and arrow, put." Seeing that the foot soldiers and archers behind the heavy shield entered the firing range, Xu Huang's password changed, and the arrows that rained in the sky were like locusts passing through, pouring out of the village frantically, almost covering the entire land in front of him.

Almost at the same time, Xu Huang shouted loudly: "The fire extinguishing team is ready." ”

"Whoosh" Lu Weihuang waved the command flag again and again, commanded to cover with a shield at the same time, and began to fight back frantically.

The rocket, wrapped in rags and burning with grease, fired thousands of arrows in unison, like countless meteors in the air, dazzling, flew straight into the Dazhai of Bingzhou. Although it caused a small tickle, it quickly calmed down. The firefighting team, which had been ready for a long time, saw that there was a fire somewhere, and quickly used the wet sand to extinguish the rockets directly, and even if some of the camps were ignited by stray arrows, they were doused by the rushing buckets.

"The heavy shield is on top, and the archers must suppress the opponent's firepower." Lu Weihuang almost pulled his neck and roared with all his might.

The 1,000 who rushed forward were less than a defensive step, holding a shield that was almost half a person high, wearing heavy iron armor, and the protective ability was extremely amazing, and the bow and arrow could hardly kill them, and soon they rushed to Dazhai only more than ten meters.

"Ahh Only two unlucky soldiers, pierced by the blades of their guns directly through their nostrils, could not die again.

"Grass, sure enough, the ditch was dug." Zhang He couldn't help but scold, with this ditch, it would take at least a few days later to seize the village.

"Mingjin, let Lu Weihuang bring back the ruts, the archers continue to suppress, the heavy shield protects the sand team, and fills the ravine, so that Zhao Rui's cavalry is ready to intercept the Bingzhou army that attacks the sand and gravel out of the village at any time." Zhang He immediately made a decision, rescheduled from the beginning, and ordered in a deep voice.

"No."

…… Throughout the morning, the drumming and killing sound on the south bank of Zhangshui have never weakened, and countless arrows have occupied an incomparable dominant position in the first wave of attack and defense. More and more corpses of the Hebei army fell on the road of the charge, and blood began to fill the whole land, and broken arrows, weapons, and sandbags were scattered throughout the battlefield. The Hebei army joined the battlefield with the catapult convoy, and after paying the price of thousands of casualties, it was able to start the difficult project of filling the ravine.

It's just that under the intensive attack of the state army, it is not so easy to fill it up in a short time.

Unlike the Xizhai Jinge Iron Horse, the sound of killing is different, and the whole Nanzhai is a little quiet.

But this situation was broken when Zhang He began to fill in the gully.

At least there were thousands of bamboo rows, which went down the river and hundreds of light boats led by Xin Ming north of Zhangshui, and began to attack the south bank.

Although most of the northern soldiers do not practice the surname Shui, there are still a small number of people who know it.

Thousands of bamboo rows, nearly 100 light boats, along the water, this scene is also very spectacular.

"The enemy is coming, good fellows, there are at least seven or eight thousand people depending on the situation." On the south bank, by a reed water weed, the whole body was soaked in the water, and only a few heads were exposed, and the soldiers said excitedly to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning licked his tongue, then spit out the reed root in his mouth, folded a hollow reed casually, and said with a sneer: "Brothers, the earth-shattering killing in Xizhai has made a certain heart itch for a long time, and now our dishes have finally appeared on this Zhangshui River, let's go." ”

With Gan Ning's order, his head floated on the water, sinking almost at the same time, and after a few blisters, he returned to calm. It's like no one has ever been here.

Xin Ming was a little entangled, to be honest, he actually didn't want to go on the expedition.

Xin Ming is the younger brother of Xin Bi and Xin Ping, all three of whom are from Yingchuan Yangzhai. Among the three, Xin Bi was the most famous, and was once an official in the Wei State to a guard lieutenant and a general. When the Xin brothers did not vote for Yuan Shao in Yingchuan, they had a very close relationship with Guo Jia. Later, Guo Jia took refuge in He Chen, and also wrote to the Xin brothers several times, saying that He Chen is the master of the world, far better than Shao, and hopes that they will abandon the darkness and work together. It's just that Xin commented on Yuan Shao's kindness, and it was difficult to determine for a while, and the matter dragged on until now. Now He Chen raised 100,000 people in the state, and in just two decades, he broke Changshan, Handan, Anyang and other counties, Jizhou was turbulent, and Hebei was shocked. Yuan Shao, who was forced, had to lead a large army to the south to support quickly. This made the three members of the Xin family a little helpless.

Looking at the results of this battle, Xin Ming had just made a decision, and suddenly found that there was a disturbance in the boat team ahead, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked sharply: "What's going on ahead?" ”

When he was young, a soldier saw it really and exclaimed, "General Xin, the boat has capsized." ”

"Capsized?" Xin Ming was stunned, why did he capsize?

"General Xin, there's someone underwater." As soon as he was young, a soldier exclaimed in surprise.

Xin Ming hurriedly opened his eyes wide, and glanced over the water, only sparkling scales, rippling blue waves, where was there anyone?

Just when Xin Ming was surprised, a person suddenly floated on the water not far away, wearing a strange leather coat and a hideous smile on his face, and said, "Brothers, it's time to work." ”

"Yo hey" With the sound of Gan Ning, the water surface suddenly swelled, and the description turned straight down. Countless boats began to sway violently, and the bamboo rafts fell apart at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"There are thieves underwater."

"The big thing is not good, there are water thieves chiseling wood, and the boat is filled with water. Mother, I can't swim. ”

"If you can swim, go down and kill the thieves."

The Xin Ming sailors were in a mess almost in an instant, because the bamboo row was cracked, and the seven or eight people on it all lost water and fell because they had no place to stand, and they could no longer float. Some boats leaked a big hole in the bottom floor, and the river water "gurgled" straight in, and the light boats tilted the lower layer at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing the soldiers above to cry out for their fathers and mothers, and their stomachs were broken.

There are a few soldiers who believe that they have the surname Shui, and they jump into the water without thinking about it, trying to find the water thieves. But they forgot that they were still wearing heavy armor, and as soon as they fell into the water, they "gurgled" and bubbled straight down, no matter how hard they kicked their legs, it still didn't help.

"Ahhh The Hebei army, which fell into the water, soon turned into a ball of blood and floated up from below.

"Treading water." Gan Ning had already chiseled through the two light ships, but looking at the still dense bamboo rows in front of him, he was still unsatisfied, and then launched the unique skills of the scaly sailors. Like the Ranger, treading water only increases movement speed, but one on flat ground and one in water.

"I'm going to feed all these people to the sharks." Gan Ning looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and plunged into the water again.
