Chapter 429: The Battle of Chenshui (4) (200 votes plus update)

Zhou Yin gritted his teeth and stared at the hillside in the distance. Of course, he knew that giving the order to shoot at this time might injure Sun Luban by mistake, but he still gave the order. He knew very well that according to the current situation, if he didn't do this, the second group of attacking soldiers would be defeated again without surprise, and this time the failure was not as good as the first time, the first time was all killed, which could cause some damage to the Shu army, but now it was quickly defeated, and it did not achieve the due combat goal at all. Even if they return to the ship, there is still a dead end waiting for them.

Instead of killing in front of their own people, it is better to shoot them to death with the Shu army with a burst of arrows, and maybe there will be an unexpected gain.

As for Sun Luban, it depends on her luck. Such a long distance is also the limit for the crossbowman, the quasi-head cannot be controlled, and the situation of flowing arrows flying is inevitable. Stray arrows can also kill, and his father Zhou Yu was shot by stray arrows, and Zuihou died of his injuries. If Sun Luban is shot by a stray arrow, he is also likely to die here.

What Zhou Yin didn't expect was that Sun Luban's luck was so bad that he was shot so quickly. Seeing the brocade-clothed woman roll down the hillside, Zhou Yin sighed, and at the same time relieved, he roared loudly and ordered all the bows and crossbowmen to go ashore, as close to the hillside as possible, and shoot with all their might.

Under Zhou Yin's urging, more than two hundred crossbowmen had no way out, it was difficult to shoot their comrades, but no one wanted to be killed by Zhou Yin now, and they also noticed that Sun Luban on the hillside was gone, and they didn't know if they were dead or hidden, anyway, for them. Unable to see, you can act as if she did not exist, the more unscrupulous she fired.

The bowstring sounded sharply, the arrows galloped, and the sudden arrow array attack not only caused heavy casualties to the Wu soldiers who were fighting in front of the battle, but also suffered a lot of losses to the Shu army, and there were seventeen or eighteen people who were killed or seriously injured by arrows, which was greater than the price paid for the first time to kill more than 100 Wu soldiers.

Zhao Tong also received an arrow. He heard the exclamations on the slope and found that Sun Luban had rolled down the hillside and rushed forward to rescue him. Be on guard against negligence for a while. An arrow in the ass. The situation was tense, coupled with the old wound on his thigh, which hurt to the bone, and he didn't notice that he had been hit by an arrow. While roaring, he raised his shield to set up a formation. hugged Sun Luban at the same time. Take a closer look. When he lifted the hem of Sun Luban's clothes, he found that Sun Luban's thigh was torn open by an arrow, but it was not life-threatening. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, turned around, and continued to direct the battle.

At the moment when Zhao Tong let go of Sun Luban and stood up, Sun Luban picked up a knife on the ground, and was just about to stab Zhao Tong, when he saw an arrow stuck in Zhao Tong's hip. She was stunned for a moment, and then came to her senses that Zhao Tong was shot in order to save her, otherwise he had been facing Wu Jun and would not have been shot in the back.

The bloody knife slipped from her hand, and she looked around in confusion. The sword and shield men and spearmen around were covering each other, resisting the rain of arrows from the Wu army while preparing to counterattack, and no one noticed her at all. Before she could think clearly, Zhao Tong rushed over with a shield again, grabbed her neck, and pressed her down, while roaring angrily: "You don't want to die, standing stupidly, thinking that your Wu people's arrows know you?" ”

Sun Luban was caught off guard and fell to the ground all of a sudden, seeing nothing in front of him except for the chaotic combat boots and a corpse. She shouted in a panic and threw herself for her life, trying to break free from Zhao Tong's hand, but she couldn't move a single inch at all. Zhao Tongyi dragged her back sharply, and at the same time ordered loudly: "Dense defense, shield hands in front, spearmen in hand, ready to counterattack!" ”

"Whoa!" Although the sword and shield men and spearmen were caught off guard by the Wu army and injured many people, they did not mess up their formations, and under the command of Zhao Tong, they quickly changed their formations, with the sword and shield men in front and the spearmen in the back, covering each other, and at the same time preparing for a counterattack.

The soldiers on the hillside reacted faster, and while Dun Wu and the others protected Wei Ba, more than a dozen soldiers ran to the slopes on both sides of the hill separately and rushed towards the Wu army crossbowmen who had come ashore and were shooting. Wang Shuang roared loudly and jumped down the hillside, running wildly against the rain of arrows from the Wu army, while constantly drawing his bow and shooting. Although the arrows he shot alone were not dense enough, the power should not be underestimated, and in a moment, several Wu army crossbowmen were shot by him, and fell backwards into the water, causing a splash.

At a distance of more than 100 steps, Wang Shuang shot out more than 20 arrows and killed more than a dozen Wu army crossbowmen, he inserted the bow back into the bow basket, easily pulled out his beloved two iron hammers, and strode like a fly, rushing towards the stunned Wu army archers.

At a distance of more than 100 paces, he was hit by several arrows one after another, and the arrows were swept away by him like thatch, and blood splashed out of the wounds, but he still ran like a fly, rolled up a wild hurley, and killed into the formation of the crossbowmen of the Wu army.

"Kill!" With a roar, the hammer swung and struck on the helmet of one of the crossbowmen, and with a loud "dang" sound, the crossbowmen flew up to their sides and fell into the river with a thud, and the blood immediately stained the river red.

"Kill!" Roaring again, the hammer of the counter-sweep slammed into the arm of a Wu sergeant who had slashed at him with a knife. The arm was broken, the sword flew away and disappeared, the Wu sergeant screamed, covered his wrist and retreated, Wang Shuang stepped forward, grabbed him, and smashed the hammer head-on. There was a muffled sound of "plop", and the soldier's brain burst and fell down softly.

Immediately after, more than a dozen soldiers killed from both sides, and they rushed into the Wu army's formation and slashed and slashed. These crossbowmen were not their opponents at all, and they were so badly killed that the arrow array was broken. The Wu crossbowmen could no longer care about Zhou Yin's military orders, and fled to the warship crying.

Zhao Tong and the others greatly reduced their pressure, and they also roared and killed the past.

Zhou Yin frowned, and on the one hand ordered the soldiers who remained on the warship to counterattack, and on the other hand, he ordered the warship to sail to the shore. He saw the battle of Wang Shuang and the others up close, and knew that these people were far from being able to compete with those soldiers under his subordinates. If he had enough troops, maybe he could still fight with them, but now that the two attacks were fruitless, more than 300 people had gone and had no return, and there were less than 200 troops left around him, how could he easily fight with these tigers and wolves.

Wei Ba stepped out from behind the shield and looked at the Wu warship that was gradually heading off shore. The center of the eyebrows frowned slightly.

He felt that Zhou Yin's behavior was a little abnormal. They left the favorable terrain of the hillside and rushed to the water's edge, it was a good time for the Wu army to counterattack and encircle, but Weishenme Zhou Yin sailed the warship away from the river bank? Did he lose his courage and did not dare to fight again, or did he lose his courage?

At the same time, Zhou Yin was also looking at Wei Ba on the hillside in the distance, and his mood was equally complicated. Wei Ba's strength greatly exceeded his expectations, losing more than three hundred people, but he failed to shake Wei Ba's position. I don't know how much damage this chaotic arrow has caused to Wei Ba just now. But Wei Ba's brazen counterattack. but caused heavy losses to his crossbowmen. A rough estimate shows that at least a third of the crossbowmen were killed, and his strength was already very limited.

Do you keep attacking, or do you give up? Keep attacking. It was necessary to draw some of the troops to guard the prisoners to replenish it. If you give up. Could it be that Wei Ba was just allowed to leave with the princess in front of him?

Brother. Can you cut off Wei Ba's retreat in time?

……

More than ten miles deep in the Phoenix Valley behind Wei Ba, Zhou Jun was cautiously advancing with more than a thousand soldiers. He had to be careful, as soon as he came, he only knew that Wei Ba had brute soldiers around him. But I don't know how many barbarians there are around Wei Ba. If there are too many brute soldiers, he may not only fail to complete the mission, but also suffer heavy losses. These soldiers were his personal soldiers, and if the losses were too great and he failed to win, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to replenish the losses, and he would have no chance to participate in the war in the future, let alone make meritorious contributions. Second, he was well aware of the ability of these barbarians to fight in the mountains, and although these soldiers around him were also familiar with mountain warfare, the risk of fighting with the barbarians in the mountains should not be underestimated.

Zhou Yin said that the news that the scouts had found out was that Wei Ba's side would not exceed three hundred, and he believed Zhou Yin, but he still couldn't be careless. There are too many things to deceive on the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and the news of the scouts may also be false, even if it is all true, those news are also the news from two or three days ago, who knows if it is still like that now?

It is always right to be cautious when you are careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

With such a mentality, Zhou Jun marched slowly in the mountains step by step. He asked the scouts to work in groups of ten to carefully inspect the terrain within five miles, and not let go of any suspicious places, so as not to fall into an ambush by the barbarians.

It was late autumn, and although the weather was not as hot as midsummer, wearing thick battle robes and heavy battle armor, walking in the dense woods and on the rugged mountain roads was still a thing that had nothing to do with pleasure. I don't know if it's because of nervousness or because the armor on his body is too heavy, or because the humidity in the woods is too much, Zhou Jun's body is already full of sweat, and his clothes are stuck to his body, which is very uncomfortable. With each step, the rotten branches and leaves sank deep into each step, making a gurgling sound, and the boots creaked as if they were filled with water.

Zhou Jun wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the silent mountains and forests in the distance, and sighed worriedly. He always felt that Zhou Yin was too risky to do this, even if he cut off Wei Ba's retreat and surrounded him next to Chenshui, what could he do? Wei Ba has a princess in his hands, or Pan Jun's daughter Pan Ziyu, can you still kill them all?

Thinking of this thought, Zhou Jun shuddered excitedly. He knew that if he really got to that point, Zhou Yin might really be able to do it. This kid is ruthless, ridiculously bold, and has no good impression of the princess Sun Luban, so he took the opportunity of this battle to kill her, and then blame Wei Ba, he can't do it.

Alas, you think our part is so credible? If you really do such a thing, it is hard to guarantee that no one will forget their righteousness and sue you in front of Sun Quan. At that time, the Zhou family will be completely finished.

Just when Zhou Jun was in turmoil, a scout rushed over: "General, I found a barbarian in front." ”

Zhou Jun was startled, and before he could think too much, the branches of the tree moved in the other direction, and a scout ran over panting. Zhou Jun was dumbfounded, and before the scout could speak, he asked, "You also saw the barbarian?" ”

The scout was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Jun's heart suddenly lifted, and the sound of his heartbeat could even be heard by the guards around him. (To be continued......)
