Chapter 232: The First Battle (3)
On the south bank of Gangneung, as soon as the outlines of the two sides were revealed from sight, a great battle immediately broke out violently. The first is the Zhou army on a walled fence, cold wind and drizzle, they stand on top of the walled gate, wearing cold iron armor, and their bodies are full of cold and piercing tide. These soldiers didn't care about the rain that was blown into their clothes, and leaned out half of their bodies from the wall, and shot arrows with their bows, without much precision aiming, as long as they could see a general outline clearly, they could shoot directly. After waiting in the rain for so long, not to mention the coldness, the bow body absorbs water, the bowstring is slightly softer, the archers do not adapt well, the first round of arrow rain shoots out and rarely hits, often next to the enemy ship and the enemy army, did not touch the half, but fell into the water one after another, only to hear a fine sound of breaking water, occasionally mixed with a few enemy howls, a circle of ripples densely rippling.
When the first blow of the Zhou State and the remnant Liang coalition was unfavorable, the Chen army was struggling to seize the hard-won buffer time, the oarsmen of the Chen Guo fleet worked together, shaking the oars, and the speed suddenly increased a lot, these warships are different from those two-story to three-storey high big tooth boats, the hull is more dexterous, the bow is narrow, the stern is broad, and the bow is waist-thick stakes like a dragon's protruding horn, this is a special use for warships to collide with ships, galloping on the river, invincible, rushing towards the shore, Cut through the two white waves, if the water level rises a little more, they can even take advantage of this strength to chisel through the wall of the Zhou army!
There were still a few bed crossbows on the deck, which had already been drawn with bowstrings and armor-piercing cones like short spears, and the crossbow machines were launched when the enemy troops on the wall were preparing for the next round of attacks! In an instant, dozens of iron arrows swept towards the front, the Zhou army on the wall stood densely, they only had time to hear the buzz of the iron arrow tearing the air, and then several soldiers around were shot on the spot, some of the iron arrows directly penetrated the chest, and some of the half of the body was shattered, one side of the shoulder was directly missing, and the more cruel was the skull, the iron arrow passed through, the human head exploded like a rotten watermelon, and the body was directly taken out and fell under the wall in the rear, and the red and white fell to the ground, Poured it on the faces of several soldiers and made them scream!
There is an iron arrow, directly through the two people, although it is a rainy day, the head is not very good, but the Zhou army is dense, and the Chen army is specially to fight in a crowded place, a face has caused heavy casualties to the Zhou army, soon a round of iron arrows was launched, the Chen army in the bow of the ship did not give them a chance to breathe, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, they raised their bows and arrows to shoot at the Zhou army, they want to win time for those soldiers who went into the water! Chen's crossbows overwhelmed the enemy's air, and it was a good time for them to approach the riverbank!
The sergeants who went into the water are all men who have been boiling in the rivers and lakes since childhood, proficient in water, hundreds of people swim against the waves, they are not slow at all, they look like fish from a distance, the white waves are surging and surging, and they are extremely spectacular. Chen Guo has a bed crossbow, Zhou Jun also has it, after a period of panic, quickly suppressed the position, also set up a small bed crossbow, at the Chen army warship to shoot, the iron arrow shot through the hull and deck, took the lives of three Chen soldiers in an instant, although the rainy day has an impact on the accuracy and strength of the bow crossbow, but after all, the Chen army's warship is only more than seventy steps away from them now, the power of the iron arrow is still quite huge, the shield erected along the ship is simply useless to them, they are condescending, it is easy to cause killing effect to Chen JunThe Chen army was counter-killed, and a group of soldiers looked for cover, sat down, and kicked the crossbow vigorously while vigilant for the bow and arrow that would shoot through them at any time.
After the Zhou army suppressed the enemy ships with firepower, their attention was finally on the Chen soldiers who were crossing in the water, and a Zhou military captain pointed at them, opened his mouth and said something, and then part of the Zhou army turned around, opened the bow to control the string, deflected down at an angle, and then shot over, feathered arrows and locusts rushed into the water, and in an instant, several people were hit, killed on the spot, blood was like blooming flowers, and one by one poured up from under the water, this distance, The archers of the Zhou army pinched them to death like ants.
If the feather arrows came violently, dozens or dozens of people fell with each salvo, and most of the Chen army did not say a word, opened their fierce eyes, and swam towards the shore with all their might! They are already very close, as long as they can rush up, as long as they can get ashore! β¦β¦ The shore was only thirty steps away from the Zhou army's fence, Chen Jun ran hard towards the fence after landing on the shore, they held high a small round shield to block their heads and faces and other vital points, and ran hard, at the same time, Chen Jun on the boat also reacted, and continued to shoot towards the fence, intending to suppress the Zhou army's archers Xingcheng. A rain of arrows rained out.
The soldier who ran to the bottom of the village untied the rope wrapped around his waist, put on the hook, threw it upward, hooked the wall, and then pulled the rope tightly, holding a short knife in his mouth, and leaned up to climb up. The crossbowmen of the Zhou army and the Chen army attacked each other, showing a stalemate, most of the Chen army on the ship saw that someone began to climb the wall, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the general of the Chen army who pressed the formation waved their knives and yelled, ordering the second group of sergeants to prepare to go into the water to cross, at the same time, more than a dozen Chen soldiers jumped up the wall, slashed with their knives, and actually tore open the hole without occupying the numerical advantage at all, and then more people rushed in from this opening!
Zhou Jun and Chen Zu launched a hand-to-hand battle on this narrow wall! The sword light slashed from all directions, and immediately a pile of corpses fell on the wall, and the Zhou army was suppressed and retreated, and the general of the Chen army wiped the rain and blood on his face, and turned around and shouted: "Concentrate the troops in one direction!" The other part can contain Zhou Jun...... The top priority is to push the gate open first! As he spoke, he brandished a spear, and beat a Zhou pawn to death, a bunch of people followed him, rushing down, this Chen general was extremely fierce, in the cold rainy weather, naked upper body, in the crowd to kill, there was no one under his command, and he was quickly robbed under the gate of the village.
Chen Jun pushed down a wall, this huge wall that was two people high fell down, splashing countless muddy water, the Zhou army in front of him became fewer and fewer, and more and more Chen soldiers rushed into the camp, the situation seemed to have been decided, but he hesitated, the battle situation should not be so simple......
At this time, a soldier came to report, "General, there is a fence in front, and many Zhou soldiers have come to save it from inside!" β
He furrowed his brows and changed color, "Lu Teng still has a camp?" β
Only then did he react, and in the rain curtain, there were many figures wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields and axes. They slammed straight into this direction, and the Chen soldiers stood stunned, and only then did one of the soldiers react, roaring to meet them, and was hit by the side of the shield, smashed to the ground, and then cut off his shoulder blade with an axe, and the pawn let out a cry of pain, and cut off his head with another axe......
Chen Jun and Zhou Jun were like two waves, slapping together violently.
The generals of the Chen army were stunned for a while, and immediately reacted, the walled gate they captured was just the first line of defense set up by Lu Teng, if they thought that they could win by capturing this walled gate, it was too naΓ―ve, and the first line was captured, as well as the second and third lines, as long as they could not capture and smash Lu Teng's defense line one after another, Lu Teng would always be ready to take them back. The thought of retreating flashed in his mind, and the general of the Chen army immediately came back to his senses, he couldn't retreat at this time, and the camp that he had finally laid down was gone, so he waved his spear to meet it......
The two sides fell into a bitter battle, the soldiers of the Chen army were only wearing light armor, even though they were well-trained and their combat effectiveness was amazing, but in terms of hard conditions, after all, they were not as armed to the teeth as the Zhou army in front of them, after a fierce battle, they suffered heavy damage, and the momentum after they seized the pass was interrupted by force, and the morale gradually became not so strong, and the reason why no one has retreated so far is because their commander is taking the lead and fighting in the crowd. Dodging a few chopped long axes, he twisted his waist and pulled away the stance, the iron lance swept through the thousands of troops, the iron lance smashed the shield to pieces, and then the Zhou army's arm and chest were cracked, and flew out, and more people followed him and pounced......
"What a tiger general," Lu Teng watched from a distance above the watchtower in the rear, and naturally took in this scene, in his plan, in less than half an hour, he could take back the first fence, Chen Jun's troops were insufficient, and he would definitely not be able to support it. But who would have thought that this tiger general would actually lead people to fight with his heavy armor soldiers so far, which surprised him quite a bit, so he pointed over there and asked cautiously, "Do you know who he is?" β
The left and right generals glanced at each other, and respectfully arched their hands and said, "General Qiyu, we don't recognize this person......"
Lu Teng smiled indifferently, with a look of regret in his eyes, and said, "Chen Guo actually has such tiger generals, I really underestimate them...... In time, this person will inevitably become our fierce enemy......" The rain gradually became heavier, gradually blurring their vision, Lu Teng stood for a while, patted the railing, turned to go down, "Mobilize some more people and besiege him!" β
After listening to the battle report, Zhang Zhaoda looked at the territory of the remnant beam for a while, and after a while, he said: "Lu Teng has been prepared early, it seems that we have to take the opposite side, and we can only rely on human lives to fill it...... What's going on over there with Xiao Maha? β
"I'm struggling to support it, and I can't stand it anymore when I think about it......"
"He played well, it's not his fault, it's ...... old man, let him withdraw it."
"Withdraw...... Withdrawn? Some generals looked embarrassed, "This is something that was finally taken and returned to Lu Teng?" β
Zhang Zhaoda glanced at him calmly, that one-eyed eye was really terrifying, and he smiled faintly: "Don't withdraw, you go to replace Xiao Mahashou?" If you can't keep it, what if the old man destroys your three clans? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Xiao Maha is a good seedling, his life is valuable, he has to be kept, the old man will not let him go to the mortal bureau, let him come back!" Zhang Zhaoda said faintly: "Lu Teng, this old horseman, sooner or later, one day, I will peel his skin!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Dividing line ........................
Some readers have questions, isn't it a broken beam? Why did it become a fight against Zhou Jun? Let me put it this way, the area of the remnant beam is very small, and it is the puppet regime supported by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they have to listen to the Northern Zhou, and Lu Teng is the governor of Jiangling appointed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Chen Guo wants to take Jiangling, so he has to pass the pass of Lu Teng.
