Chapter 427: The Battle of Chenshui (2) (100 votes plus update)
In an instant, the Wu army, which had just made a little progress, suffered heavy losses, and the arrows that fell into the Shu army's formation were stiffly discounted, and the soldiers behind faced the Shu army that was clamped like scissors, and did not dare to advance rashly, stopped the pace of attack, and watched more than a dozen companions who rushed forward being cut down to the ground by the Shu army one by one.
The momentum of the Wu army, which had been brewing for a long time, was suddenly interrupted, and even the passionate war drums lost their souls, and like those Wu soldiers in front of the formation, they didn't know whether to continue to advance, or take a step back first, to avoid the enemy's rainbow momentum.
The Shu army won the first battle, and its morale was high.
Wei Ba sat on the boulder, crossed Erlang's legs, patted his thighs with one hand, held the wine glass with the other, and took a sip of wine. After the last battle, Zhao Tong's command level of fighting in battle has been significantly improved, and the details are handled very well. The spearmen and shield bearers also work well together, and they will fight side by side in the next battle.
Wei Ba took a rough look at the battle formation, in the short battle just now, the Wu army lost at least fifteen people, while the Shu army only killed three people, and the ratio of the two sides was one to five, which can be said to be enough to be proud.
"What do you think of my senior brother, is he more majestic than your brother-in-law? That kid just has a good father, and he doesn't even dare to go into battle, but only dare to sit on the boat and watch. ”
Wei Ba was so happy that he couldn't help but make fun of Sun Luban again. Sun Luban held the wine jug, looking at the battlefield under the hillside with some lost soul, his face was a little pale, his lips were bitten, and there was a drop of red blood hanging on it. She didn't react at all to Wei Ba's smug ridicule. I just subconsciously stretched out the flask.
"Hehe, are you worried about my senior brother, or are you worried about your little brother-in-law?"
"Are you bothered?" Sun Luban suddenly became furious, screamed, his eyes widened, and he stared at Wei Ba deadly, his nose quickly opened.
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, then became angry, stood up, pointed at Sun Luban and shouted, "My day." Temper tantrums. Do you roar again? Roar again. I'll chop you now! ”
Sun Luban looked back at Wei Ba viciously, tears rolling in his eyes, and his lips trembled. After a while, she said in a trembling voice, "You can't be disgraced if you can't kill you." You can kill me. You can't insult me. I am your captive. Not your slave, I'm not your slave! ”
Wei Ba turned his neck a little annoyed, and waved his hand impatiently: "Take her down for me." Take a good look at her. ”
Wei Xing stepped forward, but Sun Luban held his neck and didn't leave, and while crying, he said incoherently: "No, I'm going to stand here and watch as the warriors of our Wu Kingdom cut off your head." ”
"You're dreaming!" Wei Ba sneered: "Okay, you can be here, if you dare to talk back to Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will cut off your head first." ”
Sun Luban angrily wiped his tears with his sleeve, threw the wine jug hard, and strode forward. Wei Xing was startled, reached out and took the wine jug and put it on the boulder, and wanted to go to pull Sun Luban again. Wei Ba waved his hand quietly, signaling Wei Xing to step back and see what tricks Sun Luban could play.
Sun Luban walked to the edge of the boulder, raised his arms and waved, exerting all his strength, and screamed: "Warriors of Dawu, I'm here, I'm here-"
Wu Jun, who hesitated before the battle, was attracted by Sun Luban's shout, and they raised their heads and looked at Sun Luban, who was jumping and jumping on the hillside, and became angry again. Although they may not be able to hear what Sun Luban is shouting, they can guess that the princess must have asked them to save her.
"Kill!" A soldier of Wu raised the war knife in his hand and hissed: "Save the princess!" ”
"Save the princess!" More Wu sergeants shouted.
"Kill all the Shu dogs and save the princess!"
They once again formed an attack formation to kill the Shu army. When Zhao Tong saw it, he was not to be outdone, and raised his spear and shouted: "Kill-"
"Kill—" The sword and shield men and spearmen smiled contemptuously at the galloping Wu army. What do you have to be proud of, even the princess has been captured by us, if you are allowed to save it, then where will we put our face?
The two sides fought again.
The Wu army had the courage and was not afraid of death, the Shu army cooperated with the emergency, the attack and defense were orderly, and the two sides fought to the death on the bank of the river. The sword was swung again and again, throwing out beads of blood, and the spear stabbed out again and again, piercing the enemy's armor and piercing their flesh and skin. Blood was spilled, staining the ground beneath their feet, and screams were repeated, making people feel terrible.
In the face of the crazy Wu soldiers, all the spearmen and sword and shield men worked side by side, stubbornly blocked the offensive of the Wu army, and with their courage and superb martial arts skills, they mastered the initiative on the battlefield step by step. Under the leadership of Zhao Tong, they divided the enemies who had fallen into a frenzy and smashed them one by one.
Once again, the battlefield was one-sided. Although Wu Jun was inspired by the princess's plea for help, their courage did not change the outcome in the face of enemies who were superior to him in all aspects. Under the sharp counterattack of the Shu army, they fell one by one. But until they died, they did not take a step back until they were all killed.
Sun Luban stood on the hillside, looking at the disappearing figures one by one, listening to the screams, his face turned pale. She stood there dumbfounded, her hands hanging limply, tears streaming freely. She crouched down, hugged her head and cried.
The Shu army, which had won a great victory again, raised the weapons in their hands and let out a long roar of excitement.
Seeing all one hundred and fifty companions die in battle, and watching the princess crying helplessly in the distance, Wu Jun's morale was extremely low. The drummer was still beating the war drums, but the beat of the drum was slow and low, and it had long lost its due majesty, as if mourning for those companions. The other soldiers bowed their heads, some began to sob, others sighed softly.
Zhou Yin stood up, dusted off his sleeves, and scolded with a smile: "I can't see that Wei Ba's shaft is really a bit of a doorway, and he will actually use a woman to affect the mood of the soldiers." Well, the Wei family's military soldiers are worthy of being elite, and their combat effectiveness is really not to be underestimated, but I am a little careless. He waved his hand: "Come on, dock, prepare to fight again!" ”
Zhou Hu, who had been standing behind him, was taken aback: "Uncle, do you still want to fight?" These soldiers are very powerful, and in my opinion, they cannot be defeated without 500 men. ”
Zhou Hu is Zhou Jun's son, only seventeen years old this year, with fair skin and a graceful appearance, but his eyes are a little slender, his lips are a little thin, and he looks a little thin. He and Zhou Yin were very close, Zhou Jun went on a dangerous mission, and for the sake of safety, he left him by Zhou Yin's side.
"Do you really think they're immortal gods?" Zhou Yin snorted disdainfully: "It was the first battle just now, and they are full of physical strength, so they can be so fierce." Don't you smell one blow, then decline, and then exhaust? I don't believe they're going to be so fierce this time. ”
Zhou Hu nodded as if he didn't understand. Zhou Yin ordered another 200 men to be sent into battle. This time, he parked the ship on the north shore and personally beat the drums to cheer up the soldiers.
To the sound of drums, two hundred soldiers of the Wu army got off the warship and stood on the shore.
Wei Ba looked at Wu Jun from a distance, and also saw Zhou Yin standing behind the huge war drums and beating the drums, and couldn't help nodding secretly and praised: "I didn't expect that a character like the Governor of Zhou could give birth to such a brazen son." This kid is thick-skinned and ruthless enough, and he is a material for leading soldiers to fight. ”
When Dunwu and Wei Xing heard this, they all knew that Wei Ba was really praising Zhou Yin. On the march to fight, the words and deeds of the main general may affect the battlefield, in this case, benevolence and morality are not used, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, as long as the goal can be achieved, any despicable means can be used. Wei Ba dragged Sun Luban to the front of the battle, of course, it was not a gentleman's doing, he not only wanted to use Sun Luban as a meat shield to make Wu Jun throw a bogey, but also use her to disturb the morale of Wu Jun. Such a Wei Ba, of course, will praise Zhou Yin, who is also unscrupulous for victory.
Wei Xing didn't understand the meaning. "Young master, are you praising him or scolding him?"
"Of course I'm complimenting him." Wei Ba shrugged his shoulders, put his hand on the pergola, looked at the Wu Junshui in the distance for a while, and suddenly said: "Wei Xing, you go and take care of Zhao Zhonglang, let him take another fifty steps back, retreat to the bottom of the hillside, and be careful of Zhou Yin's kid." ”
Wei Xing was puzzled: "Young master, be careful of him?" ”
"I don't know, I just think Wu Jun's formation is weird. It doesn't hurt to be careful, let them get closer to the hillside, and if something happens, we can deal with them in time. Also, let all the brothers be vigilant and ready to fight. ”
"Whoa." Wei Xing didn't dare to slack off, and ran downhill with a smoke. Zhao Tong listened and nodded again and again. He didn't know what Wei Ba felt, but intuition was important on the battlefield, and it wasn't always a bad thing to be careful. He said loudly to the sword and shield men and spearmen: "The servant is concerned about everyone's safety, and everyone should be careful, not only to repel Wu Gou, but also not to ruin their own lives in vain." Do you hear me? ”
The soldiers had just won the battle, and they had received such intimate care, and their morale was high, and they shouted in a gossipy: "I hear clearly." ”
"We're fine, please rest assured."
"Let the waiter drink the bar with peace of mind, how many Wu dogs come, we will slaughter him."
Wei Ba listened to the confident shouts of the soldiers, smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal, and looked at Zhou Yin in the distance. He was thinking, what would Zhou Yin do next?
While Wei Ba was guessing Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin was also secretly frightened. He saw the retreat of the Shu army's position, and of course he also understood that in this way, if the Wu army's crossbowmen did not go ashore, they would basically not be able to pose any threat to the Shu army, and even if they went ashore, the Shu army's position and Sun Luban on the hillside were too close, which would greatly affect the performance of the crossbowmen. This little change is not as simple as taking a few steps back.
Seeing the spirit in the subtleties, this is the real master. If the rapid defeat of more than 100 people just now may have been an accident, then the current minor adjustment is deliberate. Zhou Yin had to reassess Wei Ba's command ability and the combat effectiveness of those Shu troops under the slope. He looked at the heavy mountain in the distance, thinking to himself that Zhou Jun should start clearing Wei Ba's hidden ambush now, right? I don't know if he can succeed smoothly and cut off Wei Ba's retreat. (To be continued......)
