Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Dong Zunhui led his troops to set up wooden ladders and walked into the thick smoke. They hardly fought much, as if they just went in to clean up the battlefield. The Shu army was killed and wounded in the dense camp behind the earthen castle, and the rest were defeated. Dong Zunhui led his troops to chase and kill Yili, and easily captured several defensive fences of the Shu soldiers.

After hearing the news, Guo Shao led a group of troops to reinforce them, and the people behind rushed to build roads and fill trenches.

There was a lot of smoke, and Guo Shao couldn't see the situation clearly when he passed the fortress of the Shu army. Anyway, there was no resistance. It's okay for him not to look at it in his heart, this method is a bit out of morality... But it is indeed the fastest method, at least it can avoid greater casualties of his own army. It is said that Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armored soldiers back then so cruelly that he lost his lifespan.

Walking westward, the gunpowder smoke gradually thinned out. When I looked back, the thick smoke had spread to the river surface, and a white smoke shrouded the water surface, as if a fog had suddenly fallen.

The sight of the river on the west side was very light, Guo Shao walked for a long time, and he could already see a black line on the river from a distance. It's too far away to look down on what it is, but it has long been 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 bank is occupied, the pontoon bridge cannot float on the river without being washed away by the water.

And there are still many Shu soldiers on the shore, like a long dragon formation on the road by the shore. The Shu army really deployed a lot of troops on this line.

They are temporarily rushing to repair the fortifications ahead, perhaps wanting to defend the progress of the Zhou army layer by layer. Dong Zunhui was not in a hurry to attack the established Shu army. He was rectifying the chaotic troops after the attack... Regardless of victory or defeat, it is not easy to redeploy the army into a front after being chaotic.

"Call Dong Zunhui to come here." Guo Shao ordered.

Not long after, Dong Zunhui came over with a dark painted face and said, "Uncle."

Guo Shao grabbed the wet towel on his shoulders, wiped his face, and encouraged him: "You did a good job."

Dong Zunhui wiped his face clean, his forehead is plump, his facial features are correct, and he looks good. He said: "I didn't do anything, just led the people for a mile. The gunpowder is too powerful, but I always feel unhappy. There are still Shu soldiers in front who want to resist. Uncle let me go on!"

"If you go into battle, you will die. If you can win with just one trip, that's considered a win." Guo Shao said, and then he turned to look at the first heavy armor commander he had brought, "Our troops are strong enough, so we don't need to wait for your people to straighten up their formation, tell them to go to the back. You take five hundred heavy armor soldiers up."

Dong Zunhui clasped his fists and said, "I obey."

Guo Shao observed for a while, and felt that it was useless to have too many people in this place. After the front and rear traffic gaps are left on the road by the river, only ten pedestrians can walk side by side at the widest point.

In this way, 500 people can form a team of 50 rows deep, which is already a very thick formation. Even if there is an army of 100,000, it is useless, and there is only so much space on the front line of the battle. The elite is more effective than the number of people here.

Guo Shaorang to the side of the road, found a gentle slope on the mountain wall and climbed up, so that the first commander of the first army in the left wing could move forward. This command is the most elite infantry, so only a few hundred pairs of plate armor are equipped with them. The members are all young and strong under the age of thirty-five, all of them have broad chests, thin waists, long legs and long legs. These men have the best physical strength, so they are elite soldiers... If they are not strong enough to wear armor weighing forty to fifty catties and hold weapons to fight, they probably won't be able to walk without being beaten by others.

Zhou Tong led his men forward, and Dong Zunjiao led the military power. A few days ago, the fierce general named Zhang Jiankui that Guo Shao knew didn't come. He was injured, although it was a minor injury, but he couldn't recover in a few days, and the injury would affect the battle.

... The two groups of men and horses approached slowly between the mountains and rivers, and the Shu army did not move. The Zhou army here was like a long moving dragon, and the square flag embroidered with tigers swayed gently in the wind in front. The noisy sound gave off a sense of loneliness at this time, and the mountains on both sides were deserted.

The green mountains and green waters, the plate armor reflecting the light on the road, can be seen clearly. Although there are many people, there is no dust and fog on the road. This is different from the northern plains. The road is covered with hard soil and stones that have been washed countless times by the rain flowing from the mountains.

"Swish..." Several arrows flew from the air and landed on the road ahead. The Shu army seemed to want to shoot. But the generals of the Zhou army didn't stop at all, and they still approached 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.

Not long after, the forward of the Zhou army entered the furthest range of the bow and arrow, and the arrows flew from the air into the column of the Zhou army, only the sound of clanging metal was heard, like the sound of hailstones falling on tiles. This kind of arrows thrown at least seventy or eighty steps away could not hurt them at all. Most of them could only hit the helmets and shoulder armors when they fell from above.

Soon it was within fifty steps, and Zhou Jun still did not charge at such a close place, but approached steadily while maintaining a speed. The sound of heavy footsteps, the cold light of the fine armor, the momentum is very pressured; it seems that the executioner is slowly and calmly wiping the blade before execution, gradually putting pressure on the soldiers of the Shu army.

"Papapa..." The sound of strings continued to sound, and the row in front of the Shu army had already shot flat with bows and crossbows, but they still couldn't shoot through Zhou Jun's breastplate. The generals of the Zhou army didn't even have shields. The front rows were all equipped with crossbows, and the back were bows and arrows. They were only equipped with short weapons. But they did not fight back, and kept advancing with the rain of arrows from the Shu army.

Dong Zunhui in the back became excited, this sense of power made him inexplicably excited. Dong Zunhui had four long sabers on his back, a sword on his waist, and a bow in his hand. He looked like he was covered with weapons all over his body, but he could only walk at this time. Here, a horse could occupy the space of several people and couldn't run away; a big stationary target can only be a living target, without any benefit.

Twenty paces later, arrows were inserted into the breastplates of the Zhou soldiers in the first row in front. Some people may have been injured, but the only ones who could kill them were the first row of Shu soldiers' crossbowmen who fired flatly.

The distance between the two sides was about twenty steps, and they could clearly see what the Shu soldiers looked like and what actions they were doing. Shu Bing's expression was tense and panicked, looking at the strange heavy armor with blank eyes, he had no choice but to continue shooting with his bow_crossbow. The long-term pressure has already made the Shu soldiers' camp faintly show signs of instability, but Zhou Jun has not made a move so far.

The people on the opposite side watched a clear tiger flag fluttering. At this moment, the former battalion commander Zhou Tong shouted: "Get ready."

Suddenly, there was a sudden clatter, the first row in front of Zhou Jun squatted down, the second row knelt on the ground on one knee, and the third row stood, readying their crossbows one after another; those behind raised their bows and arrows. "Fire the arrow!" Zhou Tong shouted.

Immediately, the arrows shot out like a torrential rain, and the three rows of crossbow arrows had already shot straight into the camp of the Shu soldiers, but the arrows in the air were still flying. "Ahh..." There was an uproar in the screams. Any army would put some well-armored soldiers in front, but the Shu army's ring-locked armor could not stop the violent flat shooting at a distance of more than 20 steps.

"Fire the arrow!" Zhou Tong's voice shouted again. The soldiers calmly drew the bowstring.

At this time, the Shu army didn't even have the strength to fight back, "Papa, papa..." The sound of strings resounded all over the place, Zhou Jun's bow_crossbow volleys were very rhythmic, and they were launched with intensive attacks every time.

The front row of Shu soldiers fell down row by row like harvested rice, and the back was also continuously killed by thrown bows and arrows.

What army could bear such casualties, the forward of the Shu soldiers immediately collapsed, turned around and ran back, and the front camp dispersed.

With a "bang", a soldier took a gong like a copper hat in each hand and slapped it in the middle, and the square tiger flag in the front was lowered flat in response. The entire combat of the army is full of neat rhythm, methodical like skill.

"Kill!" Dong Zunhui shouted from behind. The generals of the Zhou army had already put away their bows and crossbows, raised their short weapons and rushed forward heavily. The chaotic Shu army that has collapsed ahead is scrambling to squeeze back, and there is no way to fight. The generals of the Zhou army came up again, and the scene was very ugly for a while.
