On the morning of the next day, more than a dozen warships appeared on Liushui, followed by large and small civilian boats, and a group of soldiers stepped down from the civilian boats, and unloaded large carts like wooden boxes from the boats. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info//Update fast// They strutted high, and in front of the soldiers of Yuan, they pushed these carts to the front of the formation, each with a gap of three steps, and three rows in front of the hundred-step-wide array.

As soon as those warships arrived, all the soldiers of the Yuan army were shocked, originally thinking that Liu Xiu's army had all arrived, but they didn't expect that there were still large equipment behind. In order to be able to move quickly, Sun Jian only brought food for three days, where are these large weapons.

As soon as he saw these weapons, Sun Jian, who was already disheartened, was even more disappointed, although he didn't know what these weapons were and how powerful they were, but he knew that he had become a piece of meat on a chopping board, which could only be ravaged by Liu Xiu. He has been guarding for two days and one night, Yuan Shu has not seen a shadow yet, no matter whether he comes or not, Liu Xiu will not drag it out any longer.

Fifty miles, if Yuan Shu wants to come, he should have arrived, if Yuan Shu doesn't want to come, his bait will also lose its effect, and it is useless to keep it.

Sun Jian stood up, mustered up Yu Yong, and ordered the whole army to fight. The war drums beat twice before the soldiers of Yuan began to act, they were just in place, and there was no trace of spirit at all. Sun Jian didn't know if these people would stand there waiting to be cut down when the big war started in a while.

Is this still a fight? Sun Jian felt a burst of sadness, he had also fought for a few years, but he had never fallen into such a tragic situation, not to mention being used as bait, and he was squeezed out of the last trace of courage, more than 10,000 elites were like walking corpses, and there was no fighting spirit at all.

At this moment, a horse came running from a distance, and the knight rushed to the side of the great formation, roared twice, and then turned his horse's head and galloped away. The herald who received the news suddenly became energetic, and he pulled out his legs and ran towards the Chinese army. rushed all the way to Sun Jian's side, and shouted excitedly: "General, General Yuan is here to help." ”

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

Captain Huang heard the sound of war drums in the valley. The enemy guarding the pass was moving his troops inwards into the valley. The herald shouted in a hoarse voice, "It's General Yuan who has come to help." ”

A moment later, Sun Jian was overwhelmed by ecstasy, he reached out and took off his helmet and slammed it on the ground, tears streaming out of his eyes. Yuan Shu came, he finally came, and his persistence had results. He hissed and roared: "Command the whole army." General Yuan came to help, fight to the death! ”

The drums of war burst into the sky, breaking the peace in an instant.

At the same time, Liu Xiu also received a report from Hua Xiong, who was in charge of blocking the mountain pass, and saw Yuan Shu's battle flag in the valley, which was about fifteen thousand people, and there was still half an hour at most to engage in the battle.

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the attack to begin. Sun Jian must be dealt with before Yuan Shu arrives, so as not to be attacked by Hua Xiong's abdomen.

The drums of war exploded over the camp, and the army, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed out of the camp. Lined up in front of the battalion. Liu Xiu led the guard battalion in the center, Zhang Fei led the guard to ride on the left, the Liangzhou Han Seventh Battalion was on the right, and Fu Xie led 5,000 Jingzhou foot soldiers in front.

In the sound of the fierce war drums, the ballista began to roar, shooting a dense rain of arrows, with the grim smile of death, flying over a distance of hundreds of paces, and pounced into the Yuan army's array. Sun Jing, who was at the brunch, was startled by the dense and urgent rain of arrows, and he knew that these box-like carts were actually ballista carts.

Repeater. And it's a repeater with an extraordinary range.

The arrow feathers tore through the air, like flying locusts, like dark clouds, making the sky dark, and the whistling sound came from far and near, and it was in front of you in an instant. Sergeant Yuan was tired for two days. The reaction was a little slow, and he was suddenly stunned by the rapid and dense arrow array. The long arrows entered the body, and there was a sound of fluttering, and countless Yuan soldiers could not raise their shields, and they were shot squarely, they screamed and fell to the ground, some threw their weapons to draw arrows, and some raised their shields and squatted in place, refusing to take a step forward.

Sun Jing's front army suffered the most serious blow, and the first wave of arrows killed nearly half of the more than 3,000 people he led, and the rest were crushed.

As soon as the arrow array stopped, Wu Lingman and Jiang Xiaman, who had been trained by Liu Xiu for more than two months, held a wooden shield, held a machete, and rushed over with unintelligible barbarian words in their mouths. They wore their hair scattered, most of them naked, covered with tattoos, and at most they wore a simple leather armour, straw sandals, or simply barefoot, and they walked like flies, and their eyes were so wide that one was very worried that they would fall out of their sockets. One by one, they scrambled to be the first, as if there was not a battlefield of dead men ahead, but a ground full of gold, and whoever picked it up would be his. They are not afraid of death, because behind them, on the high platform next to Liu Xiu, the chief general of the Chinese army, Mrs. Lu, the national teacher of the Chu State, is doing things to bless them, bless them to cut enough heads to receive rewards, and bless them to ascend to heaven even if they die in battle, and from then on they will be free from the misery of the world.

Yuan Jun, who was shot by the arrow array, looked at these Jingzhou foot soldiers who were like savages, and most of them had no courage to fight at all, so they scattered in a hurry, and the people who barely engaged in the battle were also soft-handed and weak-footed, and they were not the opponents of these fierce barbarians like wild wolves at all.

Two thousand barbarian soldiers poured snow like soup, and they were unstoppable and entered Sun Jing's front army. Breaking through the position of the Yuan army in an instant, they slashed and killed, the sharp machete in their hands rose and fell, the three cooperated, one killed in front, the other cut off the head, cut off the head and threw it back, the last person opened the big pocket, just waiting to take the head, looking at the bloody head, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

These are all rewards, and I have been trained like a dog by General Liu for more than two months, aren't you just waiting for this day?

Sun Jian looked at the front formation that was broken in a blink of an eye, his heart was shocked, he had already estimated that Liu Xiu's offensive would be very fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce, a set shot and a charge, his front army of more than 3,000 people was swept away like a piece of duckweed, and there was not even a shadow left.

Sun Jian didn't care about Sun Jing's safety, he immediately ordered the three thousand people of the Chinese army to rush forward, no matter what, to block the opponent's attack, if the other party hit the Chinese army, the next danger would be.

However, Sun Jian obviously underestimated Liu Xiu's determination and means of attack. As soon as his Chinese army was sent out, Liu Xiu's position sounded the sound of the golden gong to collect the troops, and the barbarians who were busy cutting off people's heads did not dare to slack off when they heard the golden gongs, and immediately put away the sacks, turned around and ran. They came and went in a hurry, rushing across the battlefield strewn with corpses, unaffected, and in a moment they retreated to their homeland. Leaving only a headless corpse on the ground, Yuan Jun, who had caught up with the support, was dumbfounded.

However, what stunned them was still behind, and the ballista once again exerted its might, and the rain of arrows continued to pour down on Sun Jian's Chinese army. The fight made Sergeant Yuan scream. These ballistas are launched from a hundred paces away, and they can even shoot through wooden shields, and their strength is staggering. Although Sergeant Yuan had learned from the past and did a good job of protection, there were still many injured people, many of whom were shot through the arms and palms of the arms and palms by arrows shot through the shields, and some were even shot through the chest. I screamed in pain.

As soon as the ballista stopped, two thousand barbarian soldiers rushed up with a scream, and they rushed towards Yuan's army with joy.

Liu Xiu, who had been teasing Sun Jian for two days, finally revealed his murderous face, and as soon as he made a move, it was a thunderous blow.

Sun Jian was so anxious that he ordered drumming to cheer and boost morale, and tried his best to resist, hoping that Yuan Shu would speed up his pace. Quickly break through the blockade of the mountain pass and enter the battlefield.

Liu Xiu's offensive was like a tide, and the infantry led by Fu Xie attacked three times. After completely annihilating Sun Jian's front army and the 3,000 men sent out for the second time, he ordered the infantry to withdraw from the battlefield, the ballista to make the last round of fire, and the cavalry began to prepare to charge and break through.

The front army was completely broken, and Sun Jian's Chinese army had no cover in front of it, facing Liu Xiu's attack. Under the rain of flying locusts, Sun Jian ignored the danger, ran and shouted, ordering the soldiers to cling tightly together and cover each other with shields. The archers counterattacked with all possible means, and the spearmen, sword and shield bearers were ready to meet the cavalry charge.

He had already heard the fierce war drums of the mountain pass, and he had also heard the echoes coming from the valley, and he knew that Huang Gai and Yuan Shu were flanking Hua Xiong in the mountain pass, as long as they defeated Hua Xiong and opened the mountain pass. He could retreat into the mountains, leaving Liu Xiu's cavalry useless.

It's a pity, Liu Xiu obviously didn't want him to be so wishy-washy, the ballista hadn't stopped roaring, Pang De and Jiang Wu each took two thousand elite horsemen and began to charge, they didn't directly hit Sun Jian's two wings, but went around to the back of the formation, like two sharp knives, cutting Sun Jian's rear formation again and again.

Sun Jian was flanked by the front and rear and could not support it, and the rear formation had to move forward under the continuous attacks of the cavalry, getting farther and farther away from the mountain pass.

Huang Gai was so anxious that he was in a cold sweat, he saw Liu Xiu's intentions, he was driving Sun Jian away from the mountains like a sheep. Sun Jian had already struggled here twice, and it was impossible for him to block Liu Xiu's attack, and the last glimmer of hope was to open the mountain pass and let the reinforcements in the mountains rush out. With the response of these new forces, it was possible for them to repel Liu Xiu and regain their vitality.

Huang Gai drew his sword and roared, and rushed to the front line with the personal guard battalion. He saw Hua Xiong, who was standing on the cliff commanding, without saying a word, gritting his teeth, smashing his shield and slashing, killing three soldiers in a row, rushing to Hua Xiong five steps in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Shaft, take your life!" ”

Hua Xiong had already seen him, glanced at him disdainfully, and refocused his gaze on the battlefield in the distance, waving his hand at the same time, and said lightly: "Kill him!" ”

"Whoa." More than a dozen guards rushed up, raised their hands, and showed off their crossbows. Huang Gai was taken aback, and instinctively blocked the front door with his shield.

"Plop pounce", the sound of arrows was endless, and then one of the guards roared, held the knife in both hands, held it high above his head, and slashed it down. Huang Gai peeked at it, and also roared, and the long knife was handed out from under the shield, hitting the guard in the abdomen.

With a "bang", the guard's war knife also slashed on the shield, Huang Gai clenched the war knife in his hand, and just wanted to spin it and stir his intestines, but he was hit by this blow and lost his footing, retreated, and the knife was also withdrawn. The guard took a step back with the help of the anti-shock, touched his abdomen, saw the blood on his hand, and suddenly widened his eyes, roared, and bumped into it again. He didn't look at Huang Gai's war knife at all, jumped high, condescending, and crashed into Huang Gai's shield at once.

Huang Gai couldn't support it anymore, he took two steps back, his footing was unstable, and a heel fell from it. The guard didn't give up, rolled down, grabbed Huang Gai's neck, stabbed the knife into his body, and twisted it hard.

Huang Gai was in great pain and roared wildly. (To be continued) RQ
