Chapter 125: Battle (First, Second Votes)
The low and high-pitched horn sound of "woo woo" sounded continuously, penetrating inside and outside Chen County.
The Chenxian suspension bridge was gradually lowered, the city gate slowly opened in a creaking sound, and a group of yellow-clothed Zhang Chu soldiers poured in and out of the city, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of soldiers shook the earth, and the rolled up yellow smoke instantly filled the entire sky.
By the time the dust settled and the horns stopped, Zhang Chujun had already set up a formation and stood on the plain, only two arrows away from the Qin army.
The four formations before and after the left and right are ten zhang away from the formation of the Chinese army, because the departments are not unified, so the weapons are also quite messy, which is in stark contrast to the formation of the Qin army, but the Zhang Chu army has 41,000 people, almost twice as many as the Qin army, so in terms of momentum, it can be on par with the Qin army.
Cai Ci stood on the chariot of the Chinese army, holding the hilt of his sword, carefully observed the formation of the Qin army, his face was solemn, and after a while, he decided to strike first and seize the opportunity.
"The front army is attacking!" Cai Ci drank loudly as he shook the order flag in his left hand.
When Deng Xu in the front army saw it, he immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me and kill the tyrannical Qin!" ”
"Rush!"
Five thousand Jiujiang soldiers raised their spears forward, rushing forward and shouting at the same time, they began to follow Deng Zong to conquer Jiujiang County, they won many battles, and their morale was extremely high.
Especially Deng Xu, he said that the word Deng Zong, he looked heroic and strong, and the battle was the most brave, with him wearing a strong and stubborn lead the guards to rush to the front, and the five thousand soldiers behind were greatly encouraged, and the charge was extremely fast.
Cai Ci on the chariot behind nodded with satisfaction, the reason why he put Deng Xu at the front was this intention.
On the high slope to the east of the Qin military formation.
Zhao Junan sat on the handsome chair, his eyes were like electricity, carefully observing Zhang Chujun's every move, Cai Ci was the right choice to divide the army into five armies, at least it solved some of the problems of incoordination, Cai Ci deserved to be a nobleman, and he did have some ability to do Chen Sheng's Shangzhu Kingdom.
Seeing Zhang Chu's front army charging, Hu Hai in the back exclaimed: "Second brother, Zhang Chujun has made a move, what should we do?" ”
"Don't worry." Zhao Jun said lightly, and finally said loudly: "Order, the bow and crossbow battalion attack!" ”
"The bow battalion is attacking!" The herald on the moving platform in front shouted and waved the flag.
"Woo woo" This time it was the sound of Qin Jun's horn, long and desolate.
Under the high slope, in the Qin army's array, Cao Wuxian heard the order, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Attack!" ”
Suddenly, the battalion of 5,000 bows and crossbows moved forward to the front of the military formation, divided into three columns, staggered and echoed, and began to draw arrows and prepare to shoot.
At this time, the 20,000 foot soldiers made a muffled sound with their weapons and pestles, and shouted loudly:
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
Three loud shouts sounded, like three thunderbolts sounding on the flat ground, the aftermath was endless, the shaking city wall seemed to be trembling, Zhang Chu heard it all changed, the Qin army's arrow array was the enemy's demon when it was in the Six Kingdoms, and the sign of their appearance was the word 'wind'.
Sure enough, with the sound of the three wind words, five thousand crossbowmen were ready, ready to shoot at any time.
Cao Wushu grabbed a wolf's tooth heavy arrow and aimed at Deng Xu, who was rushing to the front, he didn't know who this person was, but seeing that he was wearing armor, he shouldn't be an ordinary soldier.
"Shoot!" Cao Wu screamed violently in the wound, and the fingers with the copper wrench were violently released, and the arrow was like a rainbow, drawing a phantom, and it disappeared into the void in an instant.
As soon as the wolf's tooth arrow came out, it was like a signal, and the crossbowman behind him shot the sharp arrows on the bow and crossbow at the same time.
In an instant, a locust flew up to the sky on the earth, covering the sky with a 'whirring' sound, making the sky darken suddenly, and then drawing a parabola, swooping down on Zhang Chujun, who rushed forward.
The five thousand Chu Jun who were rushing forward intuitively felt that his scalp was numb, his back was all arched, and his heart was panicked to the extreme.
Deng Xu hurriedly turned to one side and swung his sword fiercely while running, "Dang!" With a sound, the sword and arrow intersected, the arrow was knocked crooked by an inch, scratching his face, bringing up a bloodstain, and finally still shot backwards, Deng Xu couldn't help but change color, his face was hot and painful, and his arms were also shaken and numb, this arrow was heavy and fast, it was really unstoppable.
'Flutter! With a sound, one of the guards behind Deng Xu was pierced through the chest by a heavy arrow with wolf teeth, flew on the spot, fell a few steps away, and finally nailed directly to the ground, and failed to get up, Deng Xu looked back, scared into a cold sweat, if it wasn't for the fast, he would have died just now.
"General be careful." The guards around him hurriedly held shields to protect Deng Xu.
Deng Xu couldn't help shouting: "The shield hand raises the shield and steps forward, don't stop rushing forward!" ”
"Ahh
A soldier next to him was even more unlucky, he was shot in the head by two arrows at the same time, and before he could scream, he was shot to the ground.
"Ahh
In the midst of a wailing and screaming, Zhang Chujun, who was rushing forward, kept people falling, and only a few lucky ones blocked the bow and arrow with their shields.
"Woohoo"
The continuous rain of arrows was like a life-killing talisman, and before a rain of arrows passed, countless soldiers fell.
After the four waves of arrow rain of the Qin army, Deng Xu finally led people to rush to the front of the Qin army, but sadly found that nearly 2,000 people had been killed and wounded behind him, and the formation was all scattered.
On the high slope to the east, Zhao Jun waved his hand again and ordered: "The bow and crossbow battalion will abandon the crossbow and go out to fight to stop the advance of Zhang Chujun." ”
The herald waved the command flag again and commanded the battle.
Below, Cao Wuxian's guards around him saw it and hurriedly told Cao Wuxian.
"Brothers, kill with me." Cao Wuxian mounted his horse and shouted.
After hearing this, the five thousand crossbowmen immediately discarded their bows and arrows, pulled out the long swords they carried with them, and rushed towards Zhang Chu's front army.
The two armies met and instantly launched a white-knuckle battle, and blood appeared at a glance.
"Flutter!" With a bang, a Qin soldier instantly stabbed his long sword into the enemy's chest, and finally kicked him away with a kick, swinging his sword and slashing at the other enemy soldiers.
And Zhang Chu's soldiers, who were stabbed and kicked away, did not die immediately, because they did not stab the vital point, but fell to the ground, but he didn't get up for a long time, covering his bloody stomach and his eyes were frightened, he just felt that there was a flower in his eyes just now, and Qin Jun's sword stabbed him, this Qin Jun's sword was simply incredible.
"Ah, kill!" Another Zhang Chujun and Pao Ze frantically killed the captain of the Qin Military Academy, wanting to take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
That Qin Jun grinned solemnly, without fear.
"Hah!" With a loud shout, the captain of the Qin military academy held a long sword and fiercely stabbed at the person on the left, ignoring the threat of the spear in the hands of the enemy on the right.
Zhang Chujun on the left was stunned by his ferocity, and his movements couldn't help but slow down by half a beat.
'Poof! Captain Qin's sword stabbed him in the chest accurately, and it was stirred violently, and it immediately shattered its heart, Zhang Chujun's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of remorse, that is, he was cowardly just now, so he died.
At this time, Zhang Chujun's spear on the right had already pierced the waist of the Qin military captain, and as soon as he broke through his leather armor and pierced into the flesh, the blood was left behind.
Captain Qin's eyes were round with anger, he turned his head violently, grabbed the head of the spear, and tried his best to stop the spear that was stabbing forward.
"Die!" He drank heavily, and the sword in his hand was rounded and slashed at Zhang Chujun's neck.
Zhang Chujun didn't expect him to react so quickly, his eyes widened, and he desperately wanted to draw his spear to dodge, but the hand of the Qin military captain was like a clamp that was stuck, making him unable to move.
For a moment, 'Poof! The long sword cut through his left shoulder, and then made another bend, and cut straight out of his right shoulder, and suddenly a large human head rolled to the ground, and the corpse without a head spurted blood, stirring up more than three feet high, which was extremely tragic.
"I'm going to kill you!" Another Zhang Chujun suddenly rushed out from behind, and the long sword stabbed straight into the back of the Qin military captain, the sword was already three inches closer, and the Qin military captain was startled, but he didn't have time to dodge the block.
Just when the captain of the Qin military academy thought that he was going to die, he suddenly shot a long arrow in the air, and shot into the back of Zhang Chujun's head with a 'plop', and pierced an inch from the center of his eyebrows, bringing up a piece of white brain, and his sword had just touched the armor of the Qin military academy, but he could no longer advance a point, and finally his eyes were white and he fell to the ground.
Captain Qin escaped death, but he couldn't care about much, and swung his sword to kill elsewhere.
In the distance, Cao Wuxian rode on a horse, and under the protection of his personal guards, he shot an arrow at Zhang Chujun who was fighting, leisurely and coquettish.
In the middle of the night, Deng Xu's army, which had already messed up the formation, was completely dispersed by Cao Wuxian's bow and crossbow battalion, and the rout was only in an instant
Zhang Chuzhongjun, Cai Ci's face standing on the chariot was cloudy, the Qin army's arrow array was too powerful, and it would not work if it was not removed.
"The left and right armies attack at the same time, and they must defeat the Qin army's crossbowmen." Cai Ci resolutely ordered and waved the order flag.
When Zhaoping and Lu Chen got the news, they immediately drew their swords and charged.
"Rush!"
The four thousand people on the left and right rushed out like swords out of the sheath, and finally the smoke and dust brought up drew two long dragons that were about to meet, and the place of intersection was in the bow and crossbow camp position
On the high slope in the east, Zhao Jun on the handsome chair saw this, and immediately ordered: "Order two thousand people on each side of the baby to stop the enemy, Zhou Chang, you take people to help Cao Wushu clear the remnants of the former army, and let them quickly repair and pick up bows and crossbows." ”
"No!" Zhou Chang immediately responded, waved his hand and rushed to the position of the bow and crossbow camp with hundreds of scouts on the high slope.
Seeing the banner, Guan Ying quickly ordered the two lieutenant generals on the left and right, each with 2,000 people, to meet Zhaoping and Lu Chen, and before Zhang Chujun reached the position of the bow and crossbow camp, he exchanged hands with them.
And here Cao Wushu after the arrival of Zhou Chang, he also quickly cleared the remnants of the enemy, most of the five thousand former troops died, only a few fled back, even Deng Xu was killed by Cao Wuxian with an arrow, and after the bow and crossbow battalion quickly completed the repair, the casualties were less than eight hundred, and they were still lined up into a tight arrow array.
Seeing this, Cai Ci in the distance suddenly darkened his face, the Qin army was not only well-trained and unparalleled in combat power, but the most important thing was that the command and dispatch were clever, the front army suffered all casualties, and the left and right armies were also unable to break the enemy, which made him fall into passivity.
