Chapter 255: Crossing the Bridge!

But after thinking about it, he didn't come up with a reason.

Now that all the arrangements are in place, Wei Qing has also learned to ride a horse, and he has internal strength to defend himself. There is no need to drag on this decisive battle, we must recapture the land of Chuzhou as soon as possible before Zheng Jun gains a firm foothold!

So Shen Yunfan ordered, "Tell me to go down and attack the whole army tonight." Remember, don't show anything unusual before you do it."

"Yes!" Li Cheng nodded, and his expression was a little excited.

This battle of the royal conquest is finally about to begin!

That night, Zheng Jun's spies were quietly staring at the camp of the Northern Commander Army, as they had been a few days before.

Seeing that the smoke was still in the camp and the bonfire was flickering, the spies didn't think much about it, and squatted in the grass and dozed off.

The moon crept high into the sky, and the sound of wheels and footsteps pierced the night. The Zheng Jun spy in the grass woke up suddenly, and when he looked down, he was suddenly frightened!

I saw that not far away there were torches and crowds, and the Northern Command Army had already begun to attack!

"It's broken!" He was shocked, and immediately took out the divine crossbow and shot the arrow into the sky.

The explosion sounded in the air, and the Zheng army's camp suddenly fell into a riot!

"The Northern Commander has attacked!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Although he was a little caught off guard at first, Zheng Jun was also considered experienced in a hundred battles, so his reaction speed was extremely fast.

The large shield soldiers covered the archers and immediately lined up along the bank of the Chu River.

The infantry guarded several heavy crossbows and were responsible for guarding the bridge over the Chu River.

As long as they hold the river, it is impossible for the other side to fight them, and they understand this very well.

The King of Beishan stared at the Beiyu army on the other side, his face was quite confident. As soon as the opponent approaches the riverbank, the archers on their side will immediately attack.

At that time, the Northern Command Army would not even have time to set up a formation, and could only be slaughtered unilaterally.

But what he didn't expect was that the Northern Commander Army stopped at a great distance and didn't approach the river bank at all.

"What's going on? That distance can't be shot at our side with a bow." King Beishan was a little puzzled.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a strange crunching sound. This voice is quite familiar to the king of Beishan, and it is the sound of the assembly of the stone-throwing machine commonly used in siege!

"The Northern Commander wants to smash us with a catapult?" The king of Beishan was immediately happy.

You know, the stone thrower is not very accurate, and it is okay to smash a city or a dense phalanx army.

But now Zheng Jun is lined up and very scattered. Trying to smash people with trebuchets is simply a fantasy!

"Is there really a war on the other side?"

"It's stupid!" A group of Zheng soldiers also laughed and didn't take it seriously.

As the stone thrower on the opposite bank was assembled, it began to wave, and many black shadows fell from the sky.

The king of Beishan stared at the sky, and the things that fell were not stones, but human and animal dung.

Although it is a little disgusting, it is also a common method used by soldiers.

As long as it doesn't hit anyone, King Beishan doesn't care.

But what he didn't expect was that more and more stools fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was like rain, small and dense!

"***!" The king of Beishan was so frightened that he hid in the camp, but the soldiers outside were unlucky, and they were thoroughly drenched by the rain, and in the blink of an eye, the stench was stinking.

"How can it be like rain with just a few stone throwers?" King Beishan was a little dumbfounded.

What he didn't know was that the stone throwers had been improved according to Shen Yunfan's requirements, and the entire projectile chamber was divided into dense holes.

After this modification, the range becomes shorter, and the ammunition shot out will also be dispersed. It seems that there are many disadvantages.

But in the current scene, the effect is outstanding!

What kind of stone thrower is this? It's a manure truck.

It doesn't hurt much, but it's extremely insulting.

Zheng Jun was furious one by one and scolded at the other side.

In a fit of rage, several commanders organized a team and rushed across the bridge to burn the rocks on the opposite side

Machine.

However, the Northern Commander Army had already set up a military formation, and the moment they crossed the bridge and entered the firing range, the arrows were fired in unison, and the people who rushed over instantly turned into hedgehogs!

Several charges were fruitless, and the King of Beishan had to order: "Don't rush again, keep it for me!"

It's good now, I can't hit it, and I can't end it. A group of soldiers, can only stand here retching.

At the end of the day, the soldiers couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "General, let's get out of the way!"

"Anyway, we won't lose a head-to-head battle!"

"Yes, let them cross the bridge, we can't lose!"

The forward of the Zheng army was all lined up north of the Chu River, and if the Northern Commander Army wanted to cross the bridge to pursue, only the cavalry would be able to chase it, and the number would be much smaller.

If it is put together, Zheng Jun has a great advantage.

Hearing these words, the King of Beishan also felt that it made sense, so he ordered: "Listen to my orders, the whole army will maintain its formation and retreat one mile!"

The stone thrower is very bulky, it takes a long time to disassemble and assemble, as long as it is out of range, it will naturally be no threat.

After the king of Beishan gave the order, he rode his horse and retreated.

The remaining Zheng soldiers had been on the battlefield for a long time, but they were not chaotic, so they maintained their formation and began to retreat.

Seeing Zheng Jun retreat and let the bridge out, Shen Yunfan, who was riding on the horse, immediately reminded, "Qingqing, the time has come!"

Wei Qing, like Shen Yunfan, wore a grimace mask, a close-fitting silver armor, and a dragon hood, and was heroic.

Hearing this, she drew her sword and shouted in a loud voice, "The whole army is assaulted!"

The horses rushed forward like arrows from the string, and the heavy horsemen who were waiting for them followed.

According to the previous arrangement, they first crossed the bridge in a concentrated formation, formed a formation on the other side of the river and began to charge.

Zheng Jun also expected this, and the big shield was withdrawn, and the hoplites armed with long-handled Mo knives lined up to meet them. At the same time, the archers stopped retreating, and set up their bows to block their pursuers.

"Qingqing, you can just follow me!" Shen Yunfan held a spear and rushed to Wei Qing's side.

However, Wei Qing's speed did not decrease at all, and he only shouted, "Lord Shen, I am going to rush to the front today!"

"Silly girl." Shen Yunfan smiled bitterly, and could only protect her.

The cavalry in the vanguard rushed into the crowd in an instant.

On the flanks, Marriott and Niu Yi also led the team to rush into the enemy formation.

In the bright moonlight, the plain instantly turned into a meat grinder.

Although Wei Qing's appearance of wielding her weapon was a little clumsy, she was brave enough, and with the help of internal strength, she was like a god of war at this time.

Led by such an emperor, the Northern Command Army is also like a chicken blood, and everyone is red-eyed.

On the other hand, Zheng Jun had already been harassed to low morale just now, and he had withdrawn from his original position, so he was a little chaotic.

But even so, with their experience, large numbers, and hoplites armed with swords and arrays, they were very restrained from cavalry.

So, the situation is deadlocked.

The stalemate was a disadvantage for the cavalry who charged.

The king of the North Mountain was very proud, and shouted, "If they resist three more charges, they will surely be exhausted, and we will win!"
