Lu Xun sat on the command platform, holding the arrow rain in front of the array, and the jade Ruyi in his hand pointed forward gently.

The herald walked to the front of the stage and waved the bunting vigorously.

The front wave the bunting in response.

The war drums sounded, and Zhu Ji shouted:

"The crossbowman moves forward three hundred and forty steps, and the shieldman takes cover!"

"The baggage battalion is ready to clear the wrecker!"

"Spearman, prepare to strike!"

"Whoa!" The soldiers of the Wu army responded violently. The shield hand walked in front with a one-man tall giant shield, and they stopped every three steps to adjust their formation, and the giant shield in their hands slammed on the ground, and there was a loud sound, which made the earth tremble. Behind them, three hundred crossbowmen lined up in three neat rows, holding crossbows in their left hands and quivers in their right hands, marched into battle. They were all dressed in heavy armor and walked in unison, as if they were moving forward with three walls. Coupled with the sound of heavy footsteps, it was as if a huge ancient beast was slowly coming, although the speed was not fast, but it was full of indescribable coercion.

The crossbowmen advanced three hundred paces, only one hundred and twenty steps away from the first position, and a loud shout sounded in the Shu Han army, and the crossbowmen shot the first wave of arrows to block the attack. Seeing the rain of arrows jumping out of the opposite formation, the shield bearer of the Wu army raised the shield in his hand, but the crossbowman was indifferent and continued to move forward.

"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow struck the giant card, digging deep into the shield, and the feathers of the arrow trembled and buzzed.

"Squeak!" A sharp arrow pierced through the face of a Wu crossbowman, and the crossbowman snorted and fell backwards, dejected. His companion at his side didn't even look back, and the crossbowmen in the row behind him stepped forward. Stepping over his corpse and filling his empty space, the people behind him were orderly and courageously moving forward, just keeping an eye on their feet to avoid stepping directly on the remains of their companions.

"Dang!" An arrow hit the heavy armor of the Wu army's crossbowman, piercing deep into the armor leaf. The crossbowman snorted, gritted his teeth, pulled out the arrow with all his might, and glanced at the arrow. A backhand into his quiver. There is a piece of flesh on the arrow barb. Blood dripped from above. This Wu Jun took out a piece of cloth from his waist, formed a ball, and stuffed it into the wound, blocking the blood gushing from the spring. Keep moving forward.

Wu Jun took another twenty steps forward. The Shu army's strong archers and arm-stretched crossbows began to fire. The rain of arrows intensified, and more Wu troops fell, but no one shouted. They either fell to the ground and died, or they continued to move forward, and the formation was not chaotic at all. Every time one falls, someone from behind makes up for it, keeping the formation intact in front.

Wu's army moved forward another twenty paces, eighty steps from the front. All the crossbowmen of the Shu Han army began to shoot, the rain of arrows became more dense, and the sky was dark, shooting into the Wu army's array, covering the sky and the sun like flying locusts. The Wu crossbowmen stopped and began to counterattack under the cover of the shield bearers.

"Shoot!" A rain of arrows jumped up and swooped straight into the Shu Han army's position eighty paces away.

The rain of arrows converged in the air, and many arrows collided with each other and fell, but more arrows passed by, and with a single touch, they shot at each other, piercing into each other's array, stirring up blood flowers. One after another, the soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the screams were heard one after another.

Wei Ba arranged multiple positions in the valley. The defending side naturally has some advantages over the attacking side, and he can prepare in advance. He dug a trench two zhang wide and one zhang deep in front of each position, inserted sharpened bamboo poles into the trench, and erected bamboo bridges on top of them for walking, and once the enemy attacked the trench, he withdrew the bamboo bridge to block the enemy's attack. Two steps from the trench stood a man-high bamboo fence, which was used as a cover for arrows, and crossbowmen, spearmen, and sword and shield men hid behind these bamboo fences, ready to counterattack.

Now, the crossbowmen took turns firing arrows into the distance under the cover of the bamboo fence and at the sound of a command. Most of these people are strong men with good archery skills in various tribes, and they are no strangers to archery. But most of them have never experienced this kind of big battle of tens of thousands of people, and the opponent's three hundred crossbowmen came in a neat line, facing the dense rain of arrows but not giving an inch, looking at death as home, which is not seen in the battle between tribes, and has a great impact on their psychology. If it weren't for the fact that there was a trench in front of them, the enemy would not be able to rush for a while, and they would probably turn around and run.

With a trench in front and a bamboo fence in front, these new crossbowmen barely controlled their emotions and, according to the command, shot arrow after arrow.

The two sides attacked each other with arrows, and in a matter of moments, tens of thousands of arrows were fired.

Under the cover of the arrow array, the soldiers of the Wu army's baggage battalion pushed all kinds of equipment and began to move forward. They had to clear the obstacles in front of the Shu Han army and fill in the trenches, so that the follow-up attack could be carried out.

"Thunderbolt car preparation-" A long roar in the Shu Han army: "Load, launch!" ”

The loader lifted a head-sized rock from the cart and put it in the basket, and the shooter raised the wooden hammer in his hand and smashed it down with all his might. With a loud bang, the lock pin opened, and the long wooden tip trembled, and spun violently, and the net basket flew into the sky, throwing the stone out, cutting through the sky, and whistling away.

The round stone flew more than a hundred paces and smashed into the crossbowmen's position of the Wu army, hitting the head of one of the crossbowmen. The crossbowman was still standing in place, his hand still holding the bow, but his head was gone, and blood gushed out of his cavity like a gushing spring, rushing up two or three feet high. After a while, the headless corpse shook twice and fell to the ground with a thud.

The Shu Han army immediately adjusted the Thunderbolt and launched it again. The power of the thunderbolt is very great, but the launch speed is too slow, and it is not enough to use it against ordinary soldiers, Wei Ba mainly uses the thunderbolt to deal with those siege equipment, as long as it is smashed, it can basically cause serious damage. However, the accuracy of these barbarians was obviously not very good, and they failed to hit the target with a few cannons, at least half of them flew away, although they caused a lot of deterrence to the Wu army, but the actual killing effect was not very good.

Wei Ba was a little anxious, but he couldn't show his face, he quietly looked into the distance, waiting patiently.

Finally, a stone bullet hit a trench truck, and the truck was instantly torn apart, and one of the Wu soldiers behind the car was killed on the spot, and several others were also injured by the scattered wood chips, covering their faces and screaming.

"Good!" Wei Ba shouted, pointed at the barbarian who had just succeeded, and said with a smile: "You are the first meritorious, Lao Tzu wants to reward you." ”

When the barbarians heard this, they were excited, and one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they launched again.

The stone projectiles were far less dense than the rain of arrows, but the lethality was far greater than that of the arrows, and after the initial panic, the barbarians gradually adapted to the operation of the thunderbolt car, and a few more stone bullets hit the target.

The Wu army had been prepared for this, and they knew that there was nothing to stop the attack of these thunderbolts, so they had to rush to the front of the battle quickly. The Thunderbolt was not accurate enough, and it would not be fired at close range for fear of accidentally injuring its own soldiers, so it was safe before the handover of the two armies. Therefore, in the face of the whistling stone bullets, the soldiers of Wu did not raise their heads at all, and pushed the trench filling cart to run as fast as possible, whether it was life or death, it all depended on luck.

Lu Xun sent 30 trench trucks at once, and at a distance of three or four hundred paces, more than a dozen trench trucks were shattered, and more arrived at their destination safely. But it is not easy for them to fill the trench smoothly, countless spearmen holding four or five zhang long giant bamboos are waiting for them, the sharpened giant bamboo is no less lethal than the spear, what makes the Wu army collapse is that these giant bamboos are difficult to cut off, even if they are cut off, the remaining part still has amazing lethality. The Shu Han army used these giant bamboo spears against the trench carts across the trench, stabbed the Wu army, and prevented them from getting close to the trench.

The two sides fought mercilessly across the trenches.

The Shu Han army had a trench to block the enemy, a bamboo fence to cover, and a lot of advantages in the powerful thunderbolt car, but the Wu army was not afraid and moved forward bravely. One fell, two rushed up, more and more trench-filling vehicles rushed to the front of the formation, and suddenly one broke through the obstruction of the giant bamboo spear of the Shu Han army and erected the trench-filling cart on the trench.

Before the trench filling cart could be stabilized, the soldiers of the Wu army rushed forward brandishing their swords. Wang Shuang, who had been hiding behind the bamboo fence, shouted: "Follow me!" Wielding a long knife, he rushed out with two armorers. The giant bamboo spearmen on the side of the trench were killed by the Wu army, and when they heard Wang Shuang's roar, they hurriedly gave way to both sides. Wang Shuang swung his knife and slashed, and the long knife flew down.

The warriors of the Wu army who rushed to the front roared in a low voice, raised their shields to meet them, and slashed with their swords. Unexpectedly, Wang Shuang's strength was incomparable, and he held a knife in both hands, although he raised the shield, Liliang was far from enough, and was slashed on the shield by Wang Shuang, as if a mountain pressed down, the shield was split, and he also fell on the trench filling cart. Although his war knife was swung out, swept past Wang Shuang's waist and abdomen, and slashed out a spark, it failed to hurt Wang Shuang. Wang Shuang swept him on the head with a knife and swept him into the trench, two sharpened bamboos pierced his body, and blood spurted out along the bamboo pipe.

Wang Shuang and the three of them descended like gods, standing on the edge of the trench in the finished font, the long knife flew over, slashing and killing several people one after another, blocking the way of Wu Jun. The others relieved themselves and exerted their strength in unison, overturning the trench filling truck, and Wang Shuang and the others then retracted their knives and slowly retreated to the bamboo fence.

On the other side, another trench-filling truck was erected on the trench, and three heavy-armored soldiers rushed out, stopped at the side of the trench, slashed and killed, and successfully blocked again, killing several Wu soldiers and dragging the trench-filling truck.

This side had just been settled, and not far away, two more trench filling trucks landed on the trench. The sound of fighting came and went, and the two sides were inseparable.

Lu Xun sat on the command car, closed his eyes slightly, listened to the sound of the battle in front of him, and looked indifferent. After a while, he gently tapped the desk with jade ruyi, and the herald immediately stepped forward and leaned over to listen to the order.

Lu Xun's voice was unwavering. "Order: There is no advance or retreat, retreat to the latter, slash!"

"Whoa." The herald straightened up, answered loudly, took two steps to the command platform, and waved the colored flag vigorously.

The drums of war exploded over the battlefield again...... (To be continued......)
