Dong Zunhao led his department to set up a wooden ladder to get out of the dense smoke, and he barely fought, as if he was just going in to clean up the battlefield. The Shu army suffered numerous casualties in the dense camp behind the Tubao, and the rest were defeated. Dong Zunhao led his troops to hunt for a mile and easily seized several defensive barriers of the Shu soldiers.
When Guo Shao heard the news, he took an army and then reinforces it, while the people behind rushed to build the road and fill the trench.
The smoke was so heavy that Guo Shao didn't quite see the situation when he passed the fortress of the Shu army, anyway, there was no resistance. It doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, this method is really a bit of a loss...but it is indeed the fastest way, at least to avoid greater casualties in his army. It is said that Zhuge Liang was too cruel to burn the vine armor and damaged his life. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
Walking westward, the gunpowder smoke gradually became thinner. When I looked back, the thick smoke had already filled the surface of the river, and a piece of white smoke enveloped the surface of the water, as if mist suddenly dropped.
The line of sight on the surface of the river to the west is very light. Guo Shao walked for a while, and he could already see a horizontal black paint on the surface of the river from a distance. It's too far to look down on what it is, but some investigators have long reported that it is the Suojiang Floating Bridge...the water defense line of the Shu Army. But Guo Shao doesn't plan to pay attention to that line of defense for the time being: as long as the shore is occupied, the pontoon can't float on the surface of the river without being washed away by water.
And there are many Shu soldiers on the shore, like a long formation on the road along the shore. The Shu Army really deployed a lot of troops on this line.
They are rushing to repair the fortifications temporarily, perhaps wanting to defend the advancement of the Zhou army layer by layer. Dong Zunhao was not in a hurry to attack the formed Shu army. He was rectifying the chaotic troops there after the attack... Regardless of victory or defeat, it is not easy to redeploy the army into a line after the chaos.
"Call Dong Zunzhuo over." Guo Shao preached.
Not long after, Dong Zunzuo walked over with a black painted face and said, "Uncle."
Guo Shao grabbed the wet towel on his shoulders, wiped his face, and encouraged: "You did a good job."
Dong Zunzuo cleaned his face, his forehead was full, his features were correct, and he looked good. He said: "I didn't do anything, so I took someone for a mile. The gunpowder is too powerful, but I always feel unhappy. There are Shu soldiers in front who want to resist, uncle let me continue!"
"If you go to battle, you will die. If you can win with one trip, it is also considered a win." Guo Shaodao, he turned around and looked at the first heavy armor command he brought, "We have enough troops, no need to wait for you Those people rectified their formation and told them to go back. You brought up five hundred heavy armored soldiers."
Dong Zunzuo held his fist and said: "Yes."
Guo Shao observed for a while and felt that the crowds in this place were useless. After leaving a gap between the front and rear traffic on the road along the river, only ten pedestrians can walk side by side in the widest place.
This way, five hundred people can form a team of fifty rows deep, which is already a very thick formation. Even if there were a hundred thousand troops, it wouldn't have any effect. There were only a few places on the battle front. Elite is more useful here than numbers.
Guo Shaorang went to the side of the road and found a gentle **** on the mountain wall to climb up, so that the first command of the First Army of the Left Wing moved forward. This command is the most elite infantry, so only a few hundred pairs of plate armor can equip them. The members are all young men under thirty-five years old, all with a wide chest, wide waist, thin legs and long feet. These guys have the best physical strength, so they are elite soldiers... If they are not physically strong, they will wear 40-50 kilograms of armor with weapons. If you want to rush to fight, you probably won't be able to walk without others beating yourself.
Zhou Tong brought people forward, and Dong Zunzuo led the military power. A few days ago, the fierce general named Zhang Jiankui that Guo Shao knew did not come. He was injured. Although they were all minor injuries, they could not recover in a few days. The injuries would affect the battle.
...The two men and horses approached slowly between the mountains and rivers, and the Shu army did not move. Zhou Junxiang here was like a long moving dragon, and the square flag embroidered with tigers in front was gently shaking in the wind. There was a sense of loneliness in the noise at this time, and the mountains on both sides were empty.
Green mountains and green waters, the plate armor on the road reflects the light, and you can see clearly. Although there are many people, there is no dust and fog on the road; unlike the northern plains, the road is covered with hard soil and stones that have been washed countless times by rain from the mountains. The air in the valleys is also relatively humid, and the dust cannot be stepped on.
"Swish..." A few arrows flew from the air and landed on the road ahead, and the Shu army seemed to want to shoot at the foot. However, the generals of the Zhou army did not stop at all, still approaching in a neat line, gradually narrowing the distance.
The heavy armored soldiers walked slowly, but their momentum was steady, as if nothing could stop them.
In a short time, Zhou Jun’s striker entered the farthest range of his bow and arrow, and the arrow flew into the Zhou army’s queue from the air. Only the clanging of metal was heard, like the sound of hail falling on the tiles. Such arrows projected at least 70 or 80 paces away cannot hurt them at all. Most of the arrows that fall from above can only hit helmets and shoulder armors. These parts are exactly where the wrought iron plate and chain armor are double-protected. , The arrows were bounced.
Within nearly fifty steps soon, Zhou Jun still didn't charge at such a close place, maintaining a steady closeness. The heavy footsteps, the well-made armor glowed with cold, the aura was very stressful; it was like a servant who slowly and calmly wiped the blade before the execution, gradually putting pressure on the soldiers of the Shu army.
"Papa Papa..." The string continued to sound, and the front row of the Shu Army had already fired with a bow and crossbow, and still could not shoot through Zhou Jun's breastplate. General Zhou did not even have a shield. The first few rows were all crossbows, and the back were bows and arrows. They were only equipped with short weapons. But they didn't fight back, and kept advancing with the arrow rain of the Shu army.
Dong Zun Xing _ behind, got up, this sense of strength made him inexplicably excited. Dong Zunjiao wears four long sabers on his back, a sword at his waist, and a bow in his hand. He looks like he has weapons all over his body, but at this time he can only walk, here. A horse occupies a lot of people and can't run away; a big target that is equivalent to a static can only be a live target without any benefit.
For more than twenty steps, the first row of Sergeant Zhou had arrows on his breastplate. Someone may have been injured, but the only thing that killed them was the first row of Shu soldiers bows_crossbowmen, who shot them flat. The arrows thrown still can't help them.
The two sides are about 20 paces apart, and you can see exactly what they look like when dealing with Shu soldiers and what they are doing. Shu Bing's expression was tense and panic, and he looked at the strange heavy armor here with blank eyes. There was no other way but to continue shooting with the bow and crossbow. The prolonged pressure has given the Shu Bing's camp a faint sign of instability, but Zhou Jun has not hit a target until now.
People on the opposite side watched a clear tiger flag waving. At this moment, former battalion commander Zhou Tong shouted: "Prepare."
Suddenly, there was a sudden rush. The first row in front of Zhou Jun squatted down, the second row knelt on one knee, and the three rows stood, all preparing their crossbows; the people behind them held their bows and raised their arrows. "Fall the arrow!" Zhou Tong shouted.
Suddenly the arrows fired out like a torrential rain. The three rows of crossbow arrows had already shot straight into the Shu camp, but the bows in the air were still flying. "Ah..." The scream was in an uproar. Any army will put the soldiers with good armor in front, but the ring lock armor of the Shu army can't stop the violent flat shooting at a distance of twenty steps. The arrow flies through the armor, and the first row is in front. After being fired by three rows of crossbows, all ten Shu soldiers were shot and killed and wounded.
"Let the arrows!" Zhou Tong's voice shouted again. The soldiers relaxed their bowstrings.
At this time, the Shu Army didn't even have the strength to fight back. "Papa Papa......" The chord sounded loudly. Zhou Jun's bow and crossbow salvos were very rhythmic, and they moved with intensive attacks every time.
The front row of the Shu soldiers was like harvested rice, row by row fell down, and the bows and arrows shot at the back continued to be injured.
What kind of army suffered such casualties, the forward of the Shu soldiers collapsed immediately, turned around and ran back, and the front camp was scattered.
With a "clam", a soldier took a brass-hat-like gong in both hands and slapped it toward the center, and the square tiger flag at the front responded flatly. The whole battle of the army is full of neat rhythm, methodical like skill.
"Kill!" Dong Zunzuo shouted from behind. General Zhou Jun had collected the bow and crossbow, lifted the short weapon and threw forward heavily. The chaos in front of the Shu army is scrambling to squeeze backwards, where can it be faced. The generals of the Zhou army came up again, and the scene was very ugly for a while.
