Two hundred and forty-three unexpected reinforcements
In Yiling City, the lights are bright. The news of the attack on the camp by the Lümeng River has not yet been transmitted back to Yiling, so why is it such a busy scene? It turned out that the Wuwei army stationed in Yidao three days ago actually came to Yiling for some reason, and the Ling family father and son who stayed in Yiling did not dare to slack off, General Wuwei is also known as the general of the left army, and General Zuo is only a little lower and is in the third rank, of course Ling Cao does not dare to snub the general of the central army.
"Why did General Wei rush to Yiling, didn't the general's order ask you to garrison Yidao?" Ling Tong, who was resting by the city gate, asked unceremoniously.
"General Gongji, the general thinks that the Han army may have a move today, so he came to Yiling, as for the general, the general has his own explanation, right, what about the general (Lu Meng)?"
"Humph!" Ling Tong snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "The Grand Governor is stationed by the river in the west of Yiling City, according to which fifteen miles. ”
"Oh!!"
"General, look at the fire, look at the fire." Seeing that the two generals became more and more excited, Wei Yan's personal guards suddenly pointed to the night sky in the west and shouted, and everyone looked at the dark night on the horizon, and there was a faint fire.
"It's not good, that's the military tent of the Grand Duke, and the Han army attacked the camp! The Han army attacked the camp! "Ling Cao suddenly felt bad, the Han army actually attacked the big camp in Jiangbei, looking at the scale of the fire, it seems that the situation of Lu Meng is very bad, there are more than 20,000 main forces in Jingzhou, if there is a mistake, it will be over.
"Firelight, it's the Han army!" Wei Yandan's phoenix eyes were slightly confused, he glanced at Ling Cao, who was in a daze, and Ling Tong, who was excited, and said lightly: "It seems that it is not too late in the future. Can the soldiers still go! ”
"Yes!! Yes! ”
"The Han army has committed me, what should I do!" Wei Yan suddenly pulled out the short sword on his waist and shouted.
"Kill!" "Kill!" The crowd was excited, and the five armies of Soochow were all elite, not afraid of war, not afraid of war.
"Okay, the soldiers will follow me to support General Lu. Liang'er, you lead the army to help, and take a thousand knights for your father to go first. "Wei Yan knows the truth that soldiers are fast, and the rescue can be as fast as possible at this time.
"Whoa!"
"Slow!" Ling Tong hurriedly stopped Wei Yan, who was about to rectify the cavalry rescue.
Wei Yan looked at Ling Tong, who was blocking the way, and drank dissatisfiedly: "What do you want for public performance?" ”
"General Wei! There were still a thousand horsemen in the city, and the last general went with the general. Ling Tong was unmoved, and said what he thought directly, he was still afraid that Wei Yan's thousand cavalry would not even be able to make a splash.
Wei Yan glanced at Ling Tong, who seemed to be a little gloomy but suddenly burst out laughing. "Okay, let's go!"
"Drive!"
··································

"Resist, resist!" General Chen Wu shouted loudly, "Shoot! The crossbowmen returned fire"
Back to the Wu army camp, at this time the three thousand soldiers who resisted by the river together with their leading captains were all killed, but still could not resist the Han army like a wolf and a tiger, at this moment the Han army has begun to attack the camp for a few quarters of an hour, because it is a rush to respond to the battle, the Wu army's strong wooden camp does not have many crossbowmen, plus the Han army attacked with a large number of fire, the fence and the horse in front of the wall have fallen, and can only drag the wooden wall to meet the enemy.
Ding Ding ...... The two stray arrows were blocked by a large shield, and a person flashed out from under the shield and said to Chen Wu, who was almost shot dead by the stray arrows: "Zilie, where are your personal guards!" ”
"Wen Qi, the Han army attacked fiercely, and I pressed all the guards." Chen Wu was also taken aback by the sudden ejaculation, and he gasped a little when he spoke to Pan Zhang.
Chen Wu is an amphibious general, and his personal guards are quite good at using bows and crossbows in addition to foot combat, so when the crossbowmen are scattered in the chaos of the camp, it is better to put his own guards on top than to find a few sword and shield hands and the like to use bows and arrows!
"Okay, I've gathered some crossbowmen in the back and sent them together, and I must not let the crossbowmen of the Han army get close. They shoot rockets, and our tent is not smeared with mud and cannot withstand rockets. As Pan Zhang spoke, he swung his knife to block a feather arrow.
Chen Wu didn't say much and nodded to indicate that it was feasible, and then turned his gaze back to the battle in front of him. "By the way, the Metropolitan Governor and Gong Yi!"
"The Metropolitan Governor is in the middle tent, stabilizing the frightened soldiers, and Gong Yi is guarding." Jiang Qin and Chen Wu are both partial generals, and Jiang Qin is a general who is one level higher than the officer, so naturally his military account is closer to the middle account.
"Look, the Han army has changed formations." Chen Wu suddenly interrupted Pan Zhang's speech, pointed to the fiery Han army formation in the distance, and shouted loudly.
Pan Zhang's expression froze when he looked back, and he hurriedly said: "It's a shield array, and the Han army actually prepared a shield array." ”
Looking at the secret giant shield and the Han army, which was protected by the giant shield in all directions, ignoring the arrows that were shot and advancing slowly, can this kind of scene make Pan Zhang not be surprised? Since Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, he also brought this kind of shield array that is not like the Middle-earth war method to the Han army, although the shield array in front of him cannot be compared with the Roman phalanx, or even compared to Ma Chao's previous shield array, it is impossible to do both offense and defense, but it is still okay to only defend and advance like in front of you.
"What should I do?" Chen Wu He had seen such a tactic before, and halfway through his words, Chen Wu suddenly swung his sword, blocking three or four arrows that were much shorter than ordinary arrows. "Damn, what kind of crossbow is this? It can shoot several rounds in a row. ”
Behind the shield array, there was a pure crossbow unit, holding a much larger crossbow machine, shooting and walking, like a modern infantry, like the Wu army Zhai Gate. Yuanrong crossbow troops, this is a long-range elite unit unique to Shu Han, compared to the Hengjiang shooters who rely on more strength, Yuanrong crossbowmen can go to the battlefield as long as they have a certain crossbow machine use base, because his trump card is not a human but a weapon---- Yuanrong crossbow. This kind of repeater made by Zhuge Liang, known as the Yuanrong crossbow, can fire ten arrows at a time, the firepower is very strong, but the volume and weight are too large, and can not be used by individual soldiers, mainly used to defend the city and the camp, I never thought that it was now used with the shield array to cooperate with the 'siege of the city'.
Wu Jun's big tent, the indifferent expression on Lu Meng's face was gone, but he didn't look anxious, he just walked around the tent with his head down, not knowing what it meant. Suddenly, Lu Meng's eyes lit up and he said to the captain of the guard: "Go and bring Ma Zhongchang to the governor!" Unconsciously, Lu Meng's tone became extremely cold.
Although the governor of the guards felt strange about this, it did not prevent him from faithfully carrying out Lu Meng's orders, looking at the departing guards, Lu Meng said in a cold voice: "I said how did the Han army know that my army was here, it turned out to be him, the Ma family!" Very good! ”
"Metropolitan Governor, Ma Zhong often has a problem, it is difficult for him to become a collaborator." It turned out that there was another person in the tent, wearing a silver armor and a white robe, who was Qiao Ren's old acquaintance, Sun Yu, the general of Suiyuan.
"I'm afraid so!"
"No, his brother Ma Boxuan is the chief of the shogunate, and he himself is recommended by the general (Qiao Ren), how can it be!" Sun Yu looked incredulous.
"He Ma Liang and Ma Jian have higher official positions in Yizhou!" Lu Meng sneered: "Okay, let's not talk about this.
"Is the Governor really not asking for help?"
"No, the Han army must have made full preparations for attacking the camp, and sending a messenger for help was just a waste of life. The governor ordered the rear army to burn forage, and the Yiling was not far away, and General Ling would definitely notice it. Lu Meng's eyes closed slightly, "The Han army does not have many soldiers and horses, but it is just that our army was caught off guard and the soldiers and horses in the tent have lost their proportions, as long as General Ling's reinforcements arrive, the governor can counterattack." ”
From Zhang Fei's attack on the camp, Lu Meng's burning of forage, and Wei Yan's rescue of troops, only half an hour has passed.
