Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

It was just dawn, and the battlefield was full of hustle and bustle. Sure enough, the Shu army occupied Sanma Mountain. Guo Shao only felt that Wang Zhaoyuan was actually very thoughtful, not a particularly stupid "Crouching Dragon".

As usual, a group of military generals gathered in the Chinese army to meet for the last time before the battle. Guo Shao's martial arts is basically useless now, he never thought of going into battle in person, but he had to say a few words before the battle.

A few others had just reached the gate of the camp. Guo Shao raised his head and looked into the distance. On the continuous hillside, between the black mountain shadow and the slightly whitish sky, those black spots should be the densely packed troops of the Shu army. There are also flagpole flags, which may be mistaken for tree shadows if you don't look carefully.

Everyone cast their eyes over one after another. Guo Shao's spirit is actually not very good at this time, he just caught a cold, and he hasn't had a good rest for a while, and he still feels a little dizzy early in the morning; but at this time he can't appear sluggish.

"You are all warriors, we can only do this in this life, who wants to go home and farm?" Guo Shao said.

A group of generals laughed for a while after hearing this, and stood in front of Guo Shao in a mess, and they were more casual at this time.

Guo Shao said again: "Since you have done this job, you have to do it well! Your family's wealth depends on fighting on the battlefield, and the country's strength also depends on fighting on the battlefield. If you think that you can live comfortably by occupying the position, let's see what the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom are like now? It's time to show the prestige of the Great Zhou Imperial Army and make contributions!"

He drew his sword from his waist, raised it to the top of his head and shouted: "Zhou Jun will surely win!"

"We must win!" All the generals froze and echoed one after another.

Guo Shao ordered: "Go back to each battalion and fight according to the deployment of last night."

The generals dispersed one after another. Guo Shao took the reins, got on his horse, and led a group of horse soldiers out of the camp, running between the various formations in front of the Yanyue formation. While running his horse, he shouted: "Which team is the most elite and best at fighting in the Great Zhou Army?"

At this time, the tiger flag was flying everywhere, and when the soldiers heard Guo Shao's shout, they responded noisily: "The Tiger's Army, the Tiger's Army..."

Guo Shao shouted again: "We climbed over mountains and ridges and traveled thousands of miles to come here, are we here for fun?"

The soldiers and horses in the large army passing by the horses shouted one after another, and the shouts and noises resounded on the battlefield, and everyone's emotions gradually rose. Guo Shao ran between the gaps in the phalanx, and kept repeating a sentence: "Which team is dedicated to life, and which team is greedy for life and fear of death, I will just watch. The brave are reused, and the cowards are eliminated!"

Amid the commotion, the whimpering of horns and the beating of drums gradually sounded. Zhou Jun didn't talk nonsense, and soon began to move forward across the board. With more than 10,000 people on the uneven ground, the Yanyue Formation is like a large black arc, slowly surging forward; like a torrent of steel, slow but unstoppable.

Guo Shao let the soldiers go first, and looked back at the hillside called Sanma Mountain. He couldn't see behind the mountain, but he already knew that the past was Kuizhou. Kuizhou is the throat of Sichuan from the east, and it is not one of the most important fortresses in the management of Shu Kingdom; taking Kuizhou, the door of Shu Kingdom will be opened!

... On the broad front, Yang Biao's troops are at the forefront. He leads the First Army with more than 2,000 people, using the most elite infantry as the blade. The drums and trumpets sounded on the eve of the war, but there was still a little distance from the Shu army, and the commanders were marching forward together.

Now everyone is silent. In the dark and moist mist, there is only the metal sound of jingling, bang, bang, plate armor rubbing against the chain mail. Finally, a big man with an ax on his back said: "General Yang, when I rush forward, I will definitely help you get into the battle. General Yang will give me a few words of kindness..."

"Zhang Dutou!" Zhou Tong hastily stopped him, "Whoever has done a great job, General Yang will ask for credit for him. Does it need to be said?"

"Hmph!" Yang Biao was riding on a horse with an iron knife in his hand, and ignored him with a fierce face.

A group of people continued to move forward silently, and the sun had not risen yet. The fog on the ground is hazy, adding a sense of mystery that cannot be seen clearly. Zhang Jiankui took out a torn linen from his arms, and slowly wrapped it around his right palm.

After a while, the yelling of the Shu army on the opposite side was getting closer and closer. It seemed that someone was boosting morale in the army, and bursts of shouts rushed like waves in the fog. Yang Biao fell off his horse and mixed with the infantry. Seeing this, Zhang Jiankui, Zhou Tong and others felt that Yang Biao was quite smart, so he followed suit and mingled among the soldiers.

The flag of the Shu Army could already be seen vaguely in the fog, and the hillside was crowded with people.

At this moment, Zhang Jiankui suddenly felt a slight weight on his head, and after a while, he heard the sound of arrow clusters hitting the iron. He reached over and put the visor on his face as well. "Cough, cough, cough..." There was a coughing sound from behind, but no one spoke.

Then he heard the sound of "whiz" in the fog. Zhang Jiankui buried his head and did not dare to look up. The mask is the thinnest point of defense. He thought that although it would not be such a coincidence, he was afraid of being shot in the face by bad luck. "Dangdangdang..." There was a crisp sound from all around amidst the heavy footsteps.

Everyone just walked in line, and no one fought back with bows and arrows.

Suddenly, a ballista with the thickness of an arm flew in the air, and there was a bang, "Ah!" There was a scream. A soldier was knocked to the ground, hugging his thigh and screaming in pain, "My leg... my leg is broken..."

Zhang Jiankui turned his head and took a look, only to see a large group of people on the left and right flanks slowly following behind, because of the influence of the fog, they couldn't see their heads on either side.

Yang Biao shouted: "Quicken your pace, if anyone retreats before the battle, don't blame me for turning his face and denying him!"

Already on the hillside, the first commander of the former army launched a queue and formed a 20-row deep square formation to attack upwards. The distance between the two armies was less than fifty steps, arrows were raining down from above their heads, and people in the front row were injured from time to time, but the offensive of Zhou Jun's heavy infantry forwards did not weaken at all. The front three rows have already prepared their bow|crossbows, and they are waiting for a round of approaching to frighten the Shu soldiers.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a drumbeat was heard suddenly, and a large group of Shu soldiers on the hillside swarmed down.

Zhou Tong waved his sword and shouted: "Array!"

There was a sound of the small drum, and not long after the Shu soldiers rushed from the hillside, Zhou Tong yelled: "Shoot the arrow!"

At this moment, the chaotic soldiers in front of the Shu soldiers were dispersed, and the densely packed infantry rushed up quickly with swords and shields. The Zhou army's infantry put away their bows|crossbows, drew out their short weapons, and faced off. Immediately, there was a mess of clanging hacks and people's shouts.

The Shu army was defeated, and the chaos scattered. Yang Biao and others took advantage of the situation to chase up, only to see the dense phalanx with long spears rushing down again. Yang Biao glanced back and shouted: "Send people to urge the troops on both sides to come up and protect our wings!"

"Kill!" Suddenly heard a saturated sound, Zhang Dutou rushed forward with an ax in hand. He grabbed a thrusting spear with one hand, rushed forward, swung the big ax with one hand, and the ax was unstoppable with strong wind. Those Shu soldiers with long spears approached fiercely and had nothing to block them. Suddenly, there was a "pop", and the blood on the shoulder of one Shu soldier was smashed with an axe.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Zhou army in the back rushed up to reinforce the fierce generals in front. The long spear pierced the breastplate with a "jingling" sound. The soldiers of the Shu army seemed weak and couldn't even pierce the plate armor. The generals of the Zhou army approached with their swords and slashed fiercely, screaming in all directions.

"Haha..." Zhang Jiankui swung an ax with both hands and slashed up from above. The Shu soldier in front looked up at the axe, and couldn't care about anything, his face suddenly turned pale. The Zhou army infantry in the middle immediately penetrated the Shu army's spear formation.

Yang Biao's hands were itchy when he saw it, and he greeted his soldiers immediately, and rushed forward with an iron knife.

Surrounded by a group of elite soldiers guarding Yang Biao, Yang Biao was wearing heavy armor and was unstoppable. The heavy iron knife in his hand was slashing left and right like a piece of wood. Wherever he went, how could ordinary soldiers stop the fierce general? The striker in the middle of the Shu army collapsed.

More infantry on the two wings attacked upwards, and the battle situation in the middle spread to all directions.

At this moment, the sun gradually emerged, and the vast rays of light began to pierce the fog, and the scene between the land suddenly became clearer... The situation on the hillside also became clearer, and the combat power was too far apart, it was almost one-sided.
