Chapter 428: The Battle of Chenshui (3) (150 votes plus more)

Zhou Yin learned the lesson of the first attack and leaned the warship on the north shore, although the people did not go ashore, it was enough to see the entire battlefield clearly, and could command the battle at any time. He knew very well that after Zhou Jun took away more than a thousand main forces, the troops left for him were limited, and if they were all as disparate as the casualty ratio of the attack just now, he might not only not be able to shake Wei Ba's position, but might be shaken by Wei Ba's military spirit.

He had to use fierce attacks to make Wei Ba unable to advance, but also not let Wei Ba see his details, so he had to keep attacking while grasping the rhythm, and he couldn't stop attacking because of insufficient troops.

In the sound of war drums, the two hundred Wu troops once again set foot on the north bank, and cautiously pressed towards the position of the Shu army step by step.

Zhao Tong raised the spear in his hand and swung it lightly in the air, and the spearmen and sword and shield men put away their cheers, ready to fight again. In the battle just now, they took advantage of the great opportunity of the Wu army to lose its effective command, and killed all the Wu troops with a whole attack and a quick sword, and their own number of dead and seriously wounded was only more than a dozen, which was far better than expected, which greatly enhanced their confidence and allowed them to smoothly get through the tension of the first battle.

At this moment, they were full of energy and full of confidence that they would defeat the Wu army that came to attack again.

As the two sides drew closer, the muffled drums of war grew tighter and tighter, making the atmosphere tense again. Wei Ba just glanced at the Wu army in front of the formation, and then swept his gaze to the Wu army warships on the water in the distance, dozens of warships spanned hundreds of steps, protecting the Wu army camp on the south bank, waving the flag. The soldiers on the warship stood behind the wooden wall with weapons in hand, watching the small scale of the battle on the north shore, but it was related to the honor and life and death of both sides.

Wei Ba was a little uneasy. Zhou Yin did not launch the most violent attack as soon as he came up, but only sent more than 100 people to test, and after the first attack failed, he also did not mess up, and sent 200 people again. His intention was obvious, that is, to control the pace of the battle and use the superiority in numbers to offset the lack of combat effectiveness. Drain your stamina through continuous combat. Increase casualties. When more than half of the casualties were lost, he went all out, and naturally he was captured.

If he follows Zhou Yin's rhythm, then his jihua will be in vain. What he needs most now is time. The longer the time drags on. The more bad it is for him. Hit more with less. He needed to disrupt Zhou Yin's rhythm, control the course of the battle, and attract the Wu army to the north shore as much as possible. Such. Guan Feng's strange army has a chance to succeed.

"Ziquan, come forward to cover." Wei Ba waved his hand and motioned for Wang Shuang to step forward. Wang Shuang answered, pulled out his special four-stone strong bow, walked to the side of the hillside, unhurriedly plucked the bowstring, took out a feather arrow from the quiver on his back with his backhand, put on the string, and slowly pulled the bow.

With the squeaking sound of the bowstring, the strong bow of the four stones was easily filled, and the arrows that flashed with cold light pointed directly at the Marquis of Wu Jun, who was only ten steps away from Zhao Tong. Wang Shuang's body was tall, and he stood on the hillside, condescending, his battle armor was shining by the noon sun, and at this moment the bow was like a full moon, majestic and majestic, which made Wu Jun shudder. Although the military marquis was hiding in the army and holding a shield, he still felt the awe-inspiring murderous aura brought by the sharp arrow. He involuntarily held his breath and raised his shield above his head, tensing himself up for the arrow.

Wang Shuang smiled contemptuously, let go of the string, the bowstring "buzzed" trembling, the feather arrow left the string, with the afterimage, and rushed towards the Wu Junjun.

The strong bow of the four stones, the distance of more than twenty steps, and the feather arrow contained a powerful liliang that easily pierced the shield. The cowhide on the wooden shield was torn by sharp arrows, and the wooden shield scattered in all directions, and a large hole suddenly appeared in front of the military marquis, and then a feathered arrow pierced through the hole and pierced deep into his shoulder. The armor on his body was useless on the face of this feather arrow, and it had no effect at all.

The marquis took a step back, screamed fiercely, spurted a stream of bloody arrows from his mouth, and the left arm holding the shield seemed to be broken, hanging down weakly. The soldier Wu beside him was shocked, looking at him and the feather arrow that had pierced his body in amazement. They couldn't believe that the bow in the hand of the Shu army man on the hillside actually had such a powerful lethality.

It's not a bow, it's the power of a crossbow.

Compared to the crossbow calculated with stones, the liliang of the bow is much weaker, and it is usually measured in catties. The bow used by ordinary soldiers is usually between 60 catties and 100 catties, if you can use a bow of 120 catties, even if your arm strength is good, if any general can use a bow of 300 catties, it is possible to leave a mark in history. The three-hundred-pound bow is only two and a half stones, and there is still some distance from the commonly used three-stone and four-stone crossbows.

If it is a 300-pound bow, it can easily pierce a shield covered with cowhide, but even if it is a 300-pound bow, it can't shoot through the armor after piercing the shield, and then shoot through the human body.

Such a power cannot be achieved even with a three-stone crossbow, and only a four-stone crossbow can barely achieve such an effect.

The four-stone crossbow is a crossbow, ordinary people can't wind it with their hands at all, the man obviously has a bow in his hand, and he still pulls it away with his hand, it looks so easy, who would have thought that it was actually a strong bow with a power comparable to a four-stone crossbow?

Suddenly found himself under the threat of such a strong bow, and he could be shot by the man of the gods at any time, and an inexplicable panic suddenly spread among the Wu army. The soldiers around the marquis instinctively retreated, and even his guards subconsciously stepped out of the way, leaving him alone to fall to the ground and scream.

He didn't suffer for long, and Wang Shuang quickly fired another arrow, which pierced his throat with unmistakable accuracy, nailing him to the ground. Gurgling blood poured out of the wound torn open by the triangular arrow, soaking the ground on his body and forming a small bubble of blood.

Wu Jun was shocked, but the fake military marquis suddenly woke up at this moment, he immediately took over the command task of the military marquis, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!" Kill it! He shouted as he ran forward. The soldiers of the Wu army immediately understood that at this time, it would be slightly safer only to rush up and fight with the Shu army, and if they stayed in place, they would only become the target of the other party. If they turn around and run away, it will be a dead end, the range of this strong bow is enough to cover a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, and even if they get on the boat, Zhou Yin will not let them go.

"Kill-" Wu Jun, who had no way out, plucked up his courage and rushed towards Zhao Tong and the others.

"Kill!" Zhao Tong gritted his teeth, roared, held the spear in both hands, and faced the Wu army who rushed over.

The two sides fought together again, the sword and shield hands stood tightly together, and the shields in their hands were overlapped to form a shield wall, preventing the Wu army's melee strategy from being forced. The two sides slashed desperately through their shields, swords and spears exchanged spears, and the screams were endless.

The fake marquis made a wise choice in time, but he also revealed his position, Wang Shuang immediately aimed at him, and shot a few arrows in succession, so that the fake marquis was embarrassed, although he tried his best to hide in the crowd, and used a shield to protect himself, in the end he still did not escape Wang Shuang's sniping, and fell in a pool of blood.

Two military marquis were killed one after another, and there was an invincible sniper archer above his head, and the tension of the Wu army was extremely high, and the morale plummeted. Unable to break through the shield array of the Shu army, and when people were shot one after another, some people began to flee.

Of course, Wang Shuang would not shoot those who fled, his target was the most tenacious Wu soldiers, and the bow and arrow in his hand were like a sledgehammer in the blacksmith's hand, removing any nails that threatened his own battle formation, forcing more Wu soldiers to escape.

Zhou Yin's face became very gloomy, he glanced coldly at Wang Shuang on the hillside, and waved his hand: "All crossbowmen, go ashore and shoot!" ”

A young crossbowman was taken aback: "Captain, there are our people in front!" ”

"A bunch of deserters, what's the use of keeping?" Zhou Yin was furious, suddenly stood up, drew his knife out of its sheath, and slashed the crossbowman who raised the question. He raised his bloody sword and shouted: "Give me a shot ashore, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

The crossbowmen were frightened by his fierceness, and did not dare to resist any more, so they jumped into the water and rushed ashore, and at the same time raised the strong crossbows in their hands, pulled the crossbow machine, and shot a dense rain of arrows.

Hundreds of long arrows rose into the air, flew over a distance of more than one hundred and fifty paces, and flew towards the soldiers of both sides who were fighting.

Wei Ba had been watching Zhou Yin, observing his every move. When he saw Zhou Yin standing up and ordering the crossbowmen to wade ashore, he was taken aback, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously roared: "Raise the shield-"

Approaching the battle array, the soldiers have been very vigilant, and as soon as Wei Ba shouted out, Dunwu and Wei Xing pounced with their shields, and couldn't help but block in front of Wei Ba. Wang Shuang, who was standing on the side of the hill, heard Wei Ba's reminder, looked up and saw the flying arrows, squatted down without thinking, shrunk into a ball, and at the same time protected the arm shield tied to his left arm in front.

The sword and shield men and spearmen who were fighting were already holding shields, although the arrows that Wu Jun suddenly flew were a little unexpected, but they did not cause them much damage, only the soldiers who were standing behind to rest reacted a little slowly, and more than a dozen people were shot by long arrows and fell to the ground with a miserable grunt.

The ones who were hurt the most were those Wu Jun who had their backs to the rain of arrows, and they didn't expect that Zhou Yin would give the order to shoot at this time, and they fell to the ground with arrows, suffering heavy losses. In addition to them, the most surprising thing for Wei Ba was Sun Luban, who he had always regarded as a meat shield.

Sun Luban was originally standing on the side of the slope, watching one by one Wu soldiers being shot and killed by Wang Shuang, and being killed by Zhao Tong and others in front of the battle, crying sadly, not noticing the arrow feathers flying on the Wu army's position, and when she found out, it was too late, and a feather arrow hit her thigh. She screamed, stood unsteadily, gave her legs limp, and rolled down the hillside.

Wei Ba, who was protected by the soldiers, heard Sun Luban's screams, and then remembered that there was a woman with no battlefield experience on the side, he rushed up to save her, but it was too late, and he watched Sun Luban roll all the way down the hill to the bottom of the slope.
