After the gunpowder exploded, a large cloud of thick smoke seemed to have fallen from the sky, billowing gun smoke and dust enveloped the city wall, and the clouds slowly spread to the sky and the surroundings in the wind. Hundreds of steps away, the horses in front of the Zhou army camp panicked, and the camp was turbulent.
The world is shrouded in "rumbling" echoes and shocks. After a short while, the drums on the Zhou army camp were loud, and a messy horse team rushed out of the front line and rushed forward... As for what happened after the gunpowder buried in the ground exploded, no one knew, the smoke was too thick.
Zhou Jun didn't approach the explosion point in advance. One might expose the location, and the other was afraid of hurting himself. The huge explosion panicked the horses and took the lead to rush out of the chaos of the forwards. It seemed a bit hasty and couldn't wait, because every finger at this time was too important! A slight delay will give the defenders more preparation time.
The large groups of people in the camp are reorganizing the queue, shouting and shouting loudly. Too many people rushing over are useless. Before the war, the Chinese army judged that the gap would not be too big, and no matter how many people were close in the early stage, it would be useless.
Guo Shao stood on the horse with his sword, watching the situation with the people around him. The camp was in turmoil, drums and shouts were endless, and banners swam in the crowd; the two centuries far apart had rushed towards their respective goals!
The scene is tense and chaotic, but the chaos is orderly, and each conductor is doing its own thing. The shouts of the soldiers and the generals made the atmosphere on the vast ground outside the city rush.
The moment before the sharp conflict, the atmosphere was the most tense. Guo Shao did nothing at this moment, and did not say a word, silently watching every subtle atmosphere around him.
The magnificent scene, at the moment of the outbreak, is beyond the control of a certain person, it is like a wild horse running in the direction it should be! But at the beginning, Guo Shao held the initiative, from premeditating to timing, as if the point and rules before the explosion of the universe originated from the Creator.
Guo Shao knows that in his decision, many people will die as a result, and many families will be changed. He stared at the crowd who had already rushed towards the wall, and said silently in his heart: As long as it is a war, people will die. All this is worth it!
...In the depths of the thick smoke of the explosion, the light was dimmed, as if rushing into the clouded dusk. But the sunlight in the sky pierced through the dense smoke like an arrow, proving the truth of the sunny day.
Visibility is relatively low, and the horse's running speed has gradually slowed down. The person in front held his mouth and nose and breathed carefully, but still coughing.
A dark and lacquered shadow entered people's sight, and in the shadow of the regular city wall, a gap only about six or seven steps wide appeared in front of them. In fact, it is not a gap, but a pile of dirt mountains like ruins, and very high! But that section of the city wall has indeed collapsed. The city wall more than ten steps thick, the thick stone foundation and the rammed earth failed to fly into the air, but collapsed downwards, and most of the earth and rocks were piled in the same place.
The first few horses have rushed to the ruins, and the horses are not going. The entire horse team seems to have rushed to the barrier, and they are all blocked. The sharp progress came to an abrupt end!
The subsequent commander also saw the situation clearly, and he immediately shouted: "Send the order, stop the horse, dismount all horses, get your weapons!"
There is no way to go riding a horse, of course you have to dismount; so the commander immediately issued a military order without hesitation. This is not superfluous. At this juncture, people’s hearts are stretched, and their performance is completely inferior to their usual calm and cleverness. Most people rely on instincts for the time being, and their brains are stunned... It’s like this for a long time when a commander is a **** or a low-level general. a lot of. At this time, the familiar generals give orders, plus thousands of trainings to obey military orders, everyone will follow Shangfeng's orders without thinking; everyone knows what to do, there will be no chaos!
Sure enough, everyone dismounted to prepare weapons, none of them ran around.
Only then did the commander think nervously and anxiously. In fact, he is also a little confused...but he can't be dizzy!
He remembered the military order that the Chinese army told him to repeat: first try to send troops into the city, and secondly stabilize the position and open the gap. For other actions, the commander has the right to make decisions immediately!
The commander dare not hesitate, even if it is not the best military order, it is better than not saying anything. At this moment, his words are military orders that everyone must obey. One person has the final say, and only the deputy commander can speak unless he is dead!
"Rush up! Whoever retreats, anyone can kill!" the commander yelled.
"Kill! Kill..." The person in front suddenly shouted desperately to climb up the mound. But soon it was discovered that the people’s heads were shaking in the smoke, and the North Han Army had already rushed in... Apparently the North Han Army had prepared for the bombing of the city. Zhou Jun rode for hundreds of steps. The North Han Army only needed to be fully prepared. It's time for reinforcements.
On the mound, a lot of spears stabbed downwards. The soldiers stab backwards with force and their upper body stabs forward. A large number of people dived from above, and some even rolled down.
Zhou Jun held shields and one-handed weapons in front of them, including single-handed swords, hooks, and hammers, which could not stop the pikemen from diving. For a while, the iron spear first attacked Sergeant Zhou's soldiers, and the place where the soldiers met each other "dinged". But as soon as the North Han Army received the enemy, they did not please. After they swooped down, their formation was chaotic and their feet stumbled again. Many people directly rammed into the depths of the Zhou army and almost turned into individual melee. At the point of contact, the Zhou army used more and less, and many people around a Northern Han sergeant smashed and slashed.
"Ah! Yeah..." The screams suddenly sounded on the mound. The splash of blood was covered by thick smoke.
People were struggling in the mud, desperately rushing up the slope, and the people behind shouted "Kill! Retreats cut..."
The generals of the Zhou army shouted and rushed to the North Han army crowd. The sword and shield were relatively short, so they could not rush into the North Han army queue without taking the initiative to attack. The people in front held up their shields and wielded knives to chop. They didn't know what they had cut. They only heard the screams of crying father and mother. Sergeant Zhou was also screaming, it was difficult to move on the ground, there were people around, and he couldn't avoid it. The spear stabbed only with his torso, and a shield could not stop many attacks.
The iron spear head pierced the plate armor violently, most of it didn’t pierce it, but it would pierce the armor deeply, so that Sergeant Zhou yelled in pain, and everyone was in fact fearful. At this time, the shouting is even more ghostly crying! If the weapon is stabbed to the wrong position, it will be slid against the iron armor with great force. In the dim and muddy air, sparks are indeed shining; the sound of metal rubbing against the metal makes the sour teeth soft!
An injured Sergeant Zhou fell to the ground with weak hands and feet, and was immediately trampled on the ground by various feet. The pain was so painful that he shouted desperately, but he couldn't get up. The person stepped on him cost two hundred jin. It is difficult to stand up again.
"Fight to the last drop of blood! Falling down is death!" A ten general yelled.
The gap is only six or seven paces wide. The Zhou soldiers who rushed closer were 500 people. In addition, the climbing road was extremely difficult. The northern Han army blocked it again, and the advance was blocked, and it was quickly caused. Congestion is eliminated; the crowd at the gap is getting denser.
At this moment, I only heard "swish...", the arrows in the air were thrown down like raindrops, and "dinged and dinged" like hail, and there was a cry of pain from time to time.
Zhou Jun’s team was a bit chaotic. The commander raised his head and shouted: "Bows and arrows..." Before the words fell, suddenly a stick flew from the smoke and hit the layer of his neck with a "clang" The chain mail penetrated the thin iron ring, and the clusters of arrows penetrated his neck!
The commander didn't even yell, his eyes were rounded and he fell back, and the blood in his mouth came out with saliva.
"General Li! General Li..." The generals and soldiers rushed up to help him.
The commander’s feet kicked on the ground a few times, and the upper deputy commander Zheng Bin’s face appeared, and his hand covered the commander’s neck. The commander held the scabbard tightly and raised his hand. The deputy commander Zheng Bin hurriedly grabbed his scabbard and asked anxiously: "General Li wants to hand over military power to me?"
The commander closed his eyes, nodded lightly, and let go of his sword.
Zheng Bin took the sword, gritted his teeth and glanced at the person who was being supported by the upper body, stood up abruptly, and shouted: "Commander General Li, let this commander be controlled by me, deputy commander Zheng Bin!"
Zheng Bin clenched his fists and frowned, completely ignoring the flying arrows on his head. After a while, he loudly said: "Pass the order! Do not retreat in front of the formation; people after five steps on the front line immediately repair the offensive ramp!" /
He continued to give orders: "Below the hillside, the military commanders of the various tribes drove the soldiers away from the sides to rectify the formation! Archers gather in the center!"
At the place where the short soldiers meet in front, it is estimated that people will not be able to control the order of the summit. The sergeants from the front and the rear are huddled together, and the two sides are fighting desperately to kill you and me. There is no way forward, no way back! It was just like a Shura field, and people's voices were very tragic.
But the people who did not fight in the back regrouped and gradually restored order. The battle began to stalemate, and there was no way to break through with a morale. At this time, organization and tactics are particularly important.
In the distance, there is another Zhoujun horse team jogging up with reinforcements. The reinforcements are no longer chaotically coaxing a group of people. Although they are riding horses, they are indeed aligned vertically and horizontally, advancing in an organized manner. The current gang of heavy-armored soldiers guarding them is not just a commander, but a commander of the Sixth Army on the right. The general personally enters the battle, he needs to go to the front to supervise the battle and maintain order in front of the battle.
The Northern Han army also gradually recovered. On both sides of the collapsed gap, a large number of troops have also been reinforced on the wall. They reached the gap and shot from above with bows and arrows, wood and stone, and threw crowds of Zhou soldiers. Zhou Jun’s striker was flanked on three sides, but still did not collapse and continued to restore the organization. The ability of elite troops to resist pressure has gradually become more prominent than that of ordinary troops.
