Chapter Eighty-Four: The River Bursts
Chapter Eighty-Four: The River Bursts
The Yan army on the opposite side stood quietly like a group of woods, quietly looking at the laughing and scolding Qin army opposite, and turned a deaf ear.
Gu Wu took a long breath, and pointed at the halberd in his hand: "Press Lao Tzu over, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
More than 3,000 soldiers of the Qin army responded violently, and the sound was like thunder. Then there was a continuous neighing of horses, followed by the rumbling of wheels like thunder, and dozens of chariots crushed towards the Yan people like rolling iron streams with the dust flying in the sky.
The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, the terrain of a horse and Pingchuan made the chariot run like flying, unstoppable, the rumbling sound of the wheels made the heaven and earth lose color, this is a moving steel Great Wall, indestructible, even the Yan army can not be knighted.
Gu Wu drove the car to take the lead, the earth under his feet was retreating rapidly like a tide, only the roar of the wheels was left between heaven and earth, the whole world was trembling and trembling, the universe was the world, the world was the only one! The fierce pride burned in Gu Wu's chest, burning his eyes.
Dog Tu and Nangong Chenxue on the opposite side also looked at Gu Wu with fiery eyes, like a mosquito seeing blood, and the prisoner who had been imprisoned for many years saw a beautiful woman without clothes, and the flames in his eyes rose brightly.
"Good armor!" Dog Tu looked at the fish-scale iron armor on Gu Wu's body with envy, and muttered.
"Big man, don't make up your mind, this armor is going to be taken away and presented to the king." Nangong Chenxue on the side said insincerely.
The so-called soldiers have three lives: weapons, armor and horses, and the existence of fish scale iron armor is the pinnacle of defense in this era, how can it not make them red-eyed and warm?
Ji Dan smiled coldly: "The widow doesn't need it, whoever of you grabs it first is whoever." ”
The two of them were overjoyed and said in unison: "King Xie! ”
After speaking, they looked at each other hostilely.
Thundered!
The Qin army's chariot was getting closer and closer, and when it was one hundred and fifty steps away, Ji Dan suddenly waved his halberd and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!" Hurry up and give Lao Tzu a retreat! Keep a stone's throw away! ”
咴咴咴~
The sound of horses roared into the sky, and thousands of war horses turned their heads in unison and retreated.
Gu Wu, who was standing high above the chariot, couldn't help laughing when he saw the Yan army fleeing in the wilderness: "Chase, kill all this group of Yan dogs!" ”
The morale of the Qin army behind was greatly boosted, the shouting and killing shook the sky, thousands of chariot soldiers chased forward frantically, the two armies competed, once one of the parties retreated, it was bound to be defeated, and then the victor's wanton pursuit and killing, the victory was decided.
Woohoo!
Countless crossbow arrows shot out like a downpour, shooting towards the rear army of the Yan army.
However, the Yan people's kung fu to escape was really powerful, and they were as if they were well-trained, and they had run out of two hundred steps in an instant, and only a few sparse crossbow arrows fell in the Yan army's bushes, which could not kill at all.
Thundered!
Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiaoxiao, thousands of Qin troops were furious, eager to eat this group of Yan soldiers in one bite, this group of Yan people is so shameless, not a knife is handed over, not an arrow is fired, just run in the face, run like flying, what kind of army is this? When they won a battle and didn't make enough achievements, how could they be willing to let this group of shameless Yan people run away without beheading a single poem, capturing a single person, or seizing a single thing? I haven't fought a war for more than half a year, is it easy for Lao Tzu to win a battle before this storm and snow are coming?
As soon as he fled and chased, he ran out of more than two miles in one breath, and Li Ze, who was beside Gu Wu, gradually saw that the situation was wrong, and shouted urgently: "General, this group of Yan people seems to have something strange, not like they are really defeated." You see that he and the others have been two hundred paces away, not far or close, and what is even more suspicious is that the formation is not chaotic, it really doesn't look like escaping, but like a trick to lure soldiers! ”
Gu Wu's eyes breathed fire, and he couldn't wait to fly over with his wings, cut off the head of the main general of the Yan army as a urinal, and shouted angrily: "The direction of this place is a flat river, there is no cover, what can there be in ambush, chase Lao Tzu!" ”
On the side of the embankment of the Xunshui River, Ju Yan led more than 200 Yan troops to stick to the embankment, and a long embankment of about 20 meters has been dug more than half, and the river water will break out at any time.
"It's coming!" Someone shouted.
Ju Yan raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he saw thousands of Yan troops rolling in like a dark cloud from a distance, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Dig the embankment, dig it all for Lao Tzu!" ”
More than 200 soldiers raised their shovels and hoes one after another, dug up hard, and soon dug a large opening, the river water gushed out along the breach, spread to the ground, and the rushing torrent broke through the side of the embankment, and the breach became bigger and bigger. And more than 200 Yan soldiers still did not stop, and continued to dig hard to dig the river embankment that had not yet been dug.
Finally, the embankment of more than 20 meters long collapsed, and the river quickly spread in all directions, rushing forward, and the rolling river water overflowed the feet of the Yan soldiers, and then spread to the calves, gradually approaching the knees, cold and piercing.
With Ju Yan's order, all the soldiers jumped on their horses, and the horses stepped across the water, causing a splash to run back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Like a surging dragon, the river rolled forward, swallowing up the ground around it before spreading farther away.
Ji Dan rode over, looked at the surging river on the right, slowly slowed down his horse, and the Yan army behind him also reined in the horse's reins and walked slowly.
Behind him, the Qin army chased closer and closer, shouting like thunder.
Seeing that the river was about to surge, Ji Dan raised his horsewhip and urged the healthy horse under his crotch to continue to rush forward, rushing a hundred steps away and suddenly strangling the horse's feet.
Xi Yuyu!
With the neighing of horses one after another, all the soldiers reined in their horses' feet, and as Ji Dan slowly turned their horses' heads, they faced the surging Qin army.
"They turned around and chased Lao Tzu to the past!" Gu Wu shouted loudly.
"Oh no, stop it, the water is bursting!" Li Ze, who was beside him, shouted in horror.
I saw that from the direction of the Xunshui River, the rolling waves swept in, flooding a large area of dry and hard ground, and surging rapidly towards the ground under their feet.
In an instant, Gu Wu's face was like dead ashes, wetlands and rivers were the death of the chariots, after such a large amount of water washing, the ground would inevitably become muddy, not to mention that although the boiling river water could not drown people, it greatly increased the resistance of the chariots, and those war horses would inevitably panic in the face of the river, and the result would inevitably be difficult to move an inch.
"Stop!" Shocked and angry, Gu Wu hissed and roared, and the soldiers who were driving the car stopped the carriage first.
However, just now, I couldn't wait to catch up with the Yan people and tear them to pieces, the galloping iron car had already reached its maximum speed, and where did it stop in a moment, only to hear the loud bang bang sound endlessly, and a large-scale vehicle rear-end incident occurred, and thousands of Qin troops were in chaos, with the sound of crashing, neighing, and scolding.
"Calm down, calm down!" Gu Wu roared urgently.
However, hundreds of vehicle rear-end collisions naturally cannot be calmed down at once.
There was still a mess here, and the raging river was rushing to the feet, over the horses' hooves, over half the wheels, over the ankles of the foot soldiers, and down to half of the calves.
The icy water of the river not only made it difficult for the chariots to move, but also made the foot soldiers almost ineffective.
It was at this moment that the nightmare struck.
"Kill!"
Ji Dan roared, the halberd in his hand slashed down fiercely, and at the same time, he clamped the horse's belly, urged the dark cloud horse under his crotch, and galloped towards him, rushing to the oncoming Qin army's vehicle formation.
"Kill!"
Thousands of Yan athletes responded in unison, and the sound was like a huge thunder, and the murderous spirit was soaring. Tens of thousands of iron hooves stirred up the splash in the sky, stepping on the surging flood, sprinting forward behind Ji Dan like a rolling iron stream, and the long halberd of the cavalry in the front line pointed straight at the void was pressed down, and thousands of sharp spears pierced the cold wind, forming a suffocating forest of death.
The cavalrymen in the back rows raised their scimitars high above their heads, their sharp blades shining in the sunlight.
Looking at the Yan army that was rushing towards them, the originally chaotic Qin army was even more panicked, most of the foot soldiers had begun to prepare to retreat, only a few Qin soldiers raised their crossbow arrows in their hands and prepared to shoot, but they were staggered by their panicked comrades. It's not that the Qin army is afraid of death and refuses to fight to the death, but they know that they with their legs stuck in muddy water are simply not enough to fight with those Yan cavalry who are sitting on horseback and are as steady as a rock.
"Whew!" Ji Dan roared angrily, the halberd in his hand waved like the wind, struck away a few sparse crossbow arrows, and the horse slammed into the space between the chariots, causing several foot soldiers guarding the flanks of the chariot to fly up, and fell fiercely on the heads of the people behind and the chariot. The huge splash of water in front of the horse's hooves splashed the Qin soldiers all over the face.
Cha!
The Heaven Breaker swept to the left, and the heavy halberd head slammed into the heavy armor on the body of the ginseng who held the god, and with a burst of sternum shattering, the blood in the ginseng's mouth spurted wildly, and he collapsed like a lump of mud. The halberd did not stop, crossed an arc of light, and then slashed into the bush of foot soldiers in front, chopping several foot soldiers with flesh and blood, and retreating again and again.
There were two panicked armor heads and royalists, one with a crossbow to smash, the other with a sword to slash, Ji Dan had trampled forward all the way on his horse, crossed the chariot, and the two split into the air.
Ha!
A Yan soldier who followed closely with a halberd in his hand poked forward with the momentum of the horse, and the royal was stabbed in the ribs, picked up and flew under the car, and was trampled down by the horse's hooves.
Rows of Yan soldiers slammed into the gaps between the chariots, only to hit the flesh and blood of the foot soldiers guarding the flanks, scrambling to run backwards. In fact, if the Qin people stubbornly defended and used their own flesh and blood to block the gaps between the chariots, no matter how fierce the momentum of the Yan cavalry was, it would eventually be blocked, then the Qin people would probably not be defeated very badly. The problem is that it is human instinct to escape, even the Qin people who are not afraid of death are no exception, no one is willing to use their own bones and flesh to build a barrier, and exchange their lives for the lives of their comrades.
