Chapter 632: Ruishi Camp (Plus Change, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Zhang Heli stood in front of the battle and launched the most fierce offensive since the start of the war, facing the counterattack of the Shu Han army, the Wei soldiers under the protection of the big shield, pushed the crossbow cart and the thunderbolt car as far forward as possible, and the two sides launched a fierce attack.

Arrows like clouds, stone bullets like rain, like crows galloping back and forth between the valleys, emitting ominous whinings above the heads of soldiers on both sides, even the summer sun could not penetrate completely.

There was blood everywhere.

In terms of armament, the Shu Han army originally had an advantage, whether it was the wheeled winding of the crossbow cart or the counterweight launch of the thunderbolt car, it was a favorable condition that the Wei army did not have. However, as the war progressed, even though Jiang Wei tried his best to keep this secret, Zhang He still learned about these secrets through various channels and applied them to the Wei army's ordnance.

Today, the armaments of the two sides are almost the same, and as the battle progresses and the consumption increases, the strength advantage of the Wei army is gradually reflected. Zhang He led the army to press forward step by step, putting on a resolute and decisive jiashi, which made Jiang Wei feel huge pressure.

Jiang Wei didn't want to fight with Zhang He, and he didn't dare to fight with Zhang He, his goal was victory, not a proud death. He also knew that these soldiers he led were the main force of Shu Han, and they were the hope of the prime minister to complete the Longyou battle, and if all of them were lost here, the prime minister's Jihua would inevitably be greatly discounted.

The disparity in national strength between the two sides was vividly manifested at this time. The loss of 30,000 or 40,000 people in Wei can be made up in just a few years, while if Shu loses 30,000 or 40,000 people, the time to make up for it will be two to three times that of Wei, or even more.

So Zhang He can do whatever it takes. But Jiang Wei couldn't.

Zhang He obviously had an insight into Jiang Wei's psychological weakness, and also firmly grasped this flaw, constantly squeezing Jiang Wei's psychological bottom line, waiting for the moment when Jiang Wei collapsed. Although he has not really set foot on the battlefield to fight, he has already caused enough pressure on Jiang Wei and encouraged batch after batch of Wei soldiers to step forward bravely.

The two sides fought hard for half a day, and Zhang He captured Jiang Wei's two positions in a row. Pushed the front forward by three hundred steps. In front of Jiang Wei's Chinese army, there were only two positions left. If Zhang He broke through these two positions, Jiang Wei would either retreat the Chinese army, or he would have to fight Zhang He head-on.

There is no other option.

During a short break at noon. Jiang Wei stared at the battle flag in the distance. Vacillate. He would love to beat Zhang He head-on. But he was afraid that if he missed, the whole army would collapse and he would live up to the prime minister's hopes. What worries him even more. He had no idea how many enemies there were behind him, who they were, and when they would strike, which kept a lingering shadow hanging over his mind.

Jiang Wei was about to collapse.

In the afternoon, Zhang He continued to attack, and the Wei army launched one charge after another, constantly ramming the positions of the Shu Han army. The Shu Han army fought back, relying on positions and excellent armor to fight for every inch of the Wei army. The ratio of casualties on both sides has always been around 1 to 2, but the Wei army has no intention of retreating at all, and they ignore the huge casualties and move forward bravely.

As the sun set, Zhang He finally broke through Jiang Wei's Zuihou Horse Rejection Formation. More than 10,000 corpses were piled up in the valley, and the flowing blood merged into streams, flowing along the terrain towards Jiang Wei's position, like blood-colored long snakes, meandering forward.

Jiang Wei's face was pale, and his hands and feet were cold.

Only half of the 20,000 foot soldiers he led out, and today he lost nearly 4,000 in one day, and half of his position was lost. Zhang He was still on the position, and he had no intention of retreating at all, it seemed that he was preparing for a night battle, and the halberd warriors were still in front of the battle, and they were having dinner, maybe this would be their zuihou dinner.

Jiang Wei is in a dilemma.

In order to guard against the enemy behind him, he arranged four thousand men in the valley, so that he was left with only a Chinese army of less than six thousand men by his side. After the four formations were broken by Zhang He, his advantage was not much, and he could only engage with Zhang He's short army, and the casualties would be greater. There are only more than 10,000 foot soldiers left around Zhang He, but he still has 10,000 iron horses that have not appeared, and Jiang Wei doesn't know if these iron horses are hiding behind Zhang He.

Once the iron cavalry is dispatched and rushes along the river valley to kill, the Shu Han army without the cover of the horse rejection array will definitely not be able to resist, and the losses will inevitably be heavy, and the whole army may even be wiped out.

Jiang Wei couldn't afford this loss, but he was unwilling to give up. He didn't want to abandon the formation, but wanted to have a showdown with Zhang He. If he can defeat Zhang He, or even kill Zhang He, the morale of the Wei army will inevitably plummet, and he may be able to save the tide of the battle.

Jiang Wei hesitated, but Zhang He was resolute, and after having dinner in front of the battle, after a short rest, he attacked again.

This time, he personally led the Euphorbia to rush forward.

The world-famous halberd warriors finally made a move, and they formed a sagittal formation, Zhang He and his battle flag were in the middle and rear of the sagittal formation, which was not only tightly protected, but also could be adjusted according to the battlefield situation in time. If the battle formation of the Euphorbia is a short knife, then he is the hand holding this short knife.

Zhang He swung the short knife and stabbed into Jiang Wei's battle formation.

The halberd priest held the halberd in his hand, walked with neat steps, stepped over the corpses, and strode forward. The halberd glittered, and its boots rattled against the blood-soaked ground.

"Halberd!" Zhang He roared angrily, and the halberders flattened the halberd in their hands and quickened their pace. They are in a row of three people, and the three halberds are of different lengths, but after they are flattened, they go hand in hand, and when combined, they are a row of halberds. And the halberds in the hands of the two rows of euphorbia warriors rested on both sides of the shoulders of the first row of euphorbia, when dancing, the halberds in the first row almost danced with the sharp halberd blades, even if there was a heavy armor body, it was still terrifying to watch, and without years of cooperation, it was impossible to do this.

In this way, they rushed into Jiang Wei's position and started killing. The sharp halberd stabs, pecks, hooks, and chops, and the three halberds cooperate tacitly, like a sickle to harvest crops, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Shu army. Although the Shu army has excellent armor and body protection, and they can cooperate with each other, but in the face of these heavily armored halberders, they have lost their former bravery.

The swords slashed at the heavy armor, making a piercing grinding sound, and the spears pierced the heavy armor, denting the heavy armor, but they could not pierce it, but if they were caught by the halberd in the hands of the halberders, it would be difficult for them to get out. Although their armor was excellent, their necks could not block the spurs of the euphorbia, and although their helmets could block the pecks of the halberd, they could not counteract the strength of the euphorbia, and each peck of the euphorbia made them dizzy and their ears roared.

More than 200 halberds were unstoppably attacked the position of the Shu Han army, followed by the Wei army, and the Shu Han army was soon in danger of collapse.

Jiang Wei knew that Zhang Heweishenme had not allowed the Euphorbia to go into battle. These halberds need to cooperate with each other too much, if there is a horse rejection array, these halberds can only be reduced to zero, and their power will be greatly reduced, now there is no horse rejection array, before the halberd warriors are exhausted, almost no one can stop these halberds.

"Push me up with a ten-stone crossbow." Jiang Wei roared angrily: "Zixiu, the Ruishi battalion is ready to attack. ”

There was a commotion in the strong crossbow battalion, pushing dozens of ten-stone strong crossbows in front of the formation, the range of the ten-stone crossbow is a single-shot crossbow, the range is four hundred steps, such a strong crossbow will not appear in the general military formation, even ordinary cities are not qualified to use, only the capital or a fortress with a special status can be equipped. It stands to reason that Jiang Wei's army should not have such a sharp weapon, but if the prime minister wants to match him, who can say anything.

"Shoot!" With a loud shout, the ten-stone crossbow "boomed" and a sharp arrow like a spear flew out.

A huge arrow easily pierced through the heavy armor of one of the halberds, flew up with the halberd, and crashed into the body of the second halberd, the arrow pierced his heavy armor, and the remaining strength did not fade, leading the two of them straight back. The third halberd did not retreat, but advanced, lunged sideways, caught his companion with his shoulder, gave a step back, and then pushed hard.

The two halberd warriors who were strung together by giant arrows were actually zhanzhu, the first halberd warrior was already exhausted, and the second one was not dead, he let go of the halberd, held the giant arrow on his companion's chest with both hands, roared, broke the shaft of the arrow forcefully, and then pressed his companion's shoulders with both hands and slowly pushed him away.

A huge arrow was pulled out of his lower abdomen, and a section of intestines hung from the barb, and blood gushed out. He roared wildly, pushed his companion away, and fell to the ground.

In a matter of moments, more than a dozen giant arrows were fired, and the first row of euphorbia fell to the next row.

Zhang He's eyes tightened, and he shouted: "Scatter!" The halberds immediately spread out in groups of nine to the sides.

Zhang He's order was given in a very timely manner, and the halberd warriors had just dispersed, and several giant arrows were fired, but because the halberd warriors did not get together, the killing effect was greatly reduced.

"Enter!" Zhang He shouted loudly and gave the order again. The halberds began to run, and they crashed into the crowd of the Shu Han army, killing them on a spree. In this way, the ten-stone crossbow suddenly lost its power. In the face of the halberds who were propped up with the robes, it was difficult for them to accurately shoot the target. It's not that I pity my companions, but although the power of the ten-stone crossbow is strong, the speed of fire is a big problem, and once you miss, it is a great waste.

Zhang He quickly suppressed the power of the ten-stone crossbow with his own experience, and the halberd warriors became more and more courageous, and they drove the Shu Han army and surrounded the ten-stone crossbow. Seeing this, Jiang Wei was taken aback, if these ten-stone crossbows fell into Zhang He's hands, it would be a big trouble.

"Camp Ruishi, come forward!"

"Whoa!" With an angry shout, the Shu Han army parted on both sides, revealing a phalanx of about five hundred people. The armor on these people was different, not the armor of ordinary soldiers, but the armor of smaller and denser two-dang armor, and there were also tubular sleeves on the arms, which stretched all the way to the elbows. There are abdominal armors below the waist and leg armor that protect the body above the thighs.

They hold a shield in their left hand, a spear in their right hand, a sword at their waists, and the word "Ruishi" on their left chest and shield.

It is Jiang Wei's Ruishi Battalion...... (To be continued......)
