Chapter 468 Confrontation


Chapter 468 Confrontation

When Zhang Daniu rushed to the river bank, he unconsciously felt a little irritable.

Why is it so windy? Is God angry and resentful?

Looking around, there are densely packed corpses everywhere, both from our own side and from the enemy. The pits are full of valleys, which is shocking.

If you were new to the battle, you would probably have vomited when you saw such a bloody scene.

But after nearly a month of confrontation and fighting, the soldiers on both sides of the attack and defense had long been numb. They were no longer humans, but beasts that retained the instinct to kill and eat.

After autumn, the wind direction changes. Today the wind is from the west, which is quite strong.

The enemy troops were sifting through the dust on the west bank of Qishui River. The strong wind blew up and filled the sky with yellow sand, which was a blur ten steps away.

Several small wooden bridges have been erected on the Qishui River, and large groups of enemy soldiers are rushing over, high in fighting spirit.

Zhang Daniu stood upright, facing the wind and sand, and shouted the order.

The messenger unconsciously took a few steps closer. Because he was a little further away, he could only see the deputy governor's lips moving and couldn't hear clearly what he said.

When they heard the order clearly and turned around to deliver the order, everyone's boots were already covered with dust.

After a while, the large group of people retreated back to the camp one after another and stood behind the first trench on the west side.

At this time, the strong wind became smaller, and the wind and sand no longer covered our heads and faces.

"Dong dong dong..." The war drum beat.

That was the sound of drums ringing from the other side of the river.

In the gray dust and mist, the footsteps, roars, collisions of equipment and even the creaks of wooden bridges made by hundreds of people were vague and uncertain in the howling storm, as if they were coming out of the ground. generally.

There was almost no sound of breaking through the air, and dense arrows fell down.

Zhang Daniu jumped directly behind the earth wall.

The arrow landed on the trench wall, and a layer of white hair sprouted.

The arrow fluttered to the ground again, and short reed bushes rose from the ground, and the reeds were still swaying in the wind.

"Hoo! Hoo!" The sound of breaking through the air finally sounded above the head. It was the crossbow set up on the camp wall.

In the headwind, bows and arrows cannot be used, but the crossbow can still be used.

The crossbow arrows fell into the enemy soldiers one after another, creating bloody paths, and screams came one after another.

It was also at this time that Zhang Daniu, who was hiding behind the trench wall, suddenly realized that the enemy soldiers were approaching very close.

"Kill the thief!" The wind and sand seemed to be getting smaller. Zhang Daniu was overjoyed. God helped me.

Then he jumped up with the silver spear soldiers, then charged at the enemy soldiers approaching and started fighting with all their strength.

He wielded a long-handled axe, which is the most common armor-breaking blunt weapon among the Silver Spear Army. When he swung it vigorously, the whistling sound of the air almost overwhelmed the wind and sand that gradually subsided.

The sharp ax blade hit the enemy soldier's shoulder armor with great force.

The armor leaf prevented the ax blade from causing further damage to the skin at the cost of breaking itself, but the subsequent huge force directly smashed the shoulder blade into pieces.

The enemy soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

Another enemy soldier stabbed him with a gun.

Although the silver gun sergeant on Zhang Daniu's left turned pale, he still relied on the muscle memory formed through repeated training and subconsciously waved his arms to suppress the enemy's gun bar. The other man stabbed out without thinking, hitting the center Throat - At this time, it doesn't matter whether you wear iron armor or not.

Some enemy soldiers relied on their thick heavy armor and held short soldiers. After climbing over the trench wall, they jumped down directly.

In mid-air, a hook and sickle spear was thrust out, directly hooking it down.

The enemy soldier fell to the ground with a bang. Just as he was about to get up, he was directly hit in the face by a shield. Another man held a short knife and wiped his throat lightly, causing blood to flow out.

Exquisite coordination is breathtaking.

The wind is getting lighter, and there is almost no dust.

After being silent for a long time, our own archers on the camp wall finally began to fight back happily.

The arrows landed in the rear of the enemy's army, killing and injuring a large area of ​​enemy soldiers who were still buried in the trench.

The enemy soldiers fighting with the Silver Spear Army beside the trench wall fought for a long time. Seeing that the follow-up reinforcements were getting less and less, they suddenly couldn't hold on. When it reaches a certain critical point, it suddenly breaks down and turns around and runs away.

Further away, the second group of five or six hundred enemy soldiers had just crossed the wooden bridge and rushed towards the Jin army camp. They collided with the defeated troops as they walked, and the scene was chaotic.

"Dong dong dong..." The war drums started beating, this time it was from the Jin army.

"Kill the thief!" Zhang Daniu led the silver spear soldiers over the trench wall, formed a rough formation outside the trench, and then entered the wall.

A few enemy soldiers fell at the very back, turning their heads to look back as they ran. What caught their eyes was a forest of spears.

Military boots stepped on the soft mud, neither fast nor slow.

The spear was slightly raised forward, feeling very cold.

The jungle of spears moved forward, seemingly crushing everything in their way.

An enemy soldier tripped over the corpse and yelled in panic. I saw him using all his limbs to get up quickly, but I don't know whether it was because of fear or something else. As soon as he got up, he stumbled a few steps, then his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.

He subconsciously looked back and saw that the jungle of spears was getting closer and closer to him, and the front row had even leveled their spears.

No one rushed out to kill him, and no one deliberately accelerated their pace.

The entire formation moved forward neither fast nor slowly, like a wall, pressing over with great momentum.

The enemy soldier burst into tears and tried to get up, but like a toddler, he couldn't put in the effort.

Advance through the jungle of spears.

He was crying and squirming on the ground.

The jungle of spears came over.

The enemy soldier turned his body over hard and cried: "Don't kill me." "Pfft!" He casually pierced his body with a shot.

After the assassination was completed, the silver spear warrior quickly drew out his spear, aligned his left and right eyes from the corner of his eye, and continued to move forward.

The enemy soldier's mouth was bleeding, and he was trampled by countless military boots.

Before he died, he regretted it.

Since ancient times, Yan and Zhao have many generous and tragic people, and he is no exception.

When he was young, he wandered around the countryside, stealing from chickens and dogs, being brave and aggressive, but he prided himself on being brave.

After joining Wang Youzhou's army, he felt that he could turn the tide with his bravery and defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, which was appreciated by his superiors. From then on, he rose to the top and issued orders. There was also a beautiful woman from that scholar's family who secretly fell in love with her and would not marry him except him.

I am really about to reach the pinnacle of my life.

But he was wrong. On the banks of the Yishui River, overwhelming Hun cavalry surrounded them, riding and shooting with a playful attitude, repeatedly causing damage.

At that moment, he was hiding behind the baggage truck, his face as white as a dead man. It turned out that the real battlefield was so cruel and completely different from what he imagined.

After being captured, he came to Fangtou again.

This time, we don’t have to face the overwhelming cavalry, but we can attack the enemy face to face. When we encounter these wall-like warriors with silver spears, we are completely defeated again.

It’s better to just die...

His consciousness gradually faded, and regret filled the world.

If there is an afterlife, I would like to live happily at my mother-in-law’s knees and be a farmer in the fields.

On the other side, the Silver Spear Jungle advanced unstoppably to the bridgehead, pushing the enemy soldiers running around directly into the river.

The wooden bridges built by the wind and sand were ignited one after another, and the fire shot into the sky and was seen far and near.

On the west bank of Qishui River, the Xiongnu cavalry in formation were speechless for a long time.

I have tried many methods.

Sneak attacks in foggy days, camp hijackings in the middle of the night, frontal assaults, detours from the west bank of Qishui River...

I have tried them all, but none of them have been successful.

Up to now, they had only filled in two trenches in front of the Jin army's camp and touched the camp wall once, but they were quickly driven down.

In this river valley triangle, the cavalry they were proud of was of no use, and the infantry was not as good as others. Fighting back and forth only increased casualties.

The sound of ringing gold sounded, and they slowly retreated back to the camp.

The Silver Spear Army also lined up to retreat.

Halfway through the journey, Zhang Daniu looked to the southeast.

It has been a month, and Fangtou North City has begun to take shape. If you don't mind the living conditions in the city, the army can enter the city now.

Of course, this is too hasty.

There are still many houses that need to be built in the city, including warehouses, government offices, arsenals, military camps, etc.

Above the city wall, the horse face, urn city and the like are still being improved.

Everything takes time.

His eyes crossed the Baigou again and looked further south.

The He Lun Department of the Yanzhou Army originally stationed in Wenshijin was stationed there, with a total of five thousand people.

They have been here for less than ten days and have not had time to participate in the battle. Their main tasks at present are to level the ground, clean up the ruins, and excavate the foundation to lay a good foundation for the construction of Fangtou South City.

In fact, there is no need for them to participate in the war.

The confrontation with Shi Le lasted for more than a month. Most of the time, it was really a confrontation.

Shile's main infantry army is still moving south one after another. The existing beggar army and Wubao Dingzhuang have been defeated and may have even mutinied. Anyway, they have not been seen fighting recently.

The newly arrived soldiers from Youzhou only fought today's battle and were quickly defeated.

Putting himself in Shi Le’s shoes, Zhang Daniu didn’t know what to do.

He has many cavalry, but they cannot be used to attack and break out of the camp.

The infantrymen had different thoughts. After suffering heavy casualties, they were unable to fight anymore. They could only stay in the camp with low morale and silently lick their wounds.

I really don’t know how battles were fought in ancient times when tens of thousands of people were attacked and killed.

Zhang Daniu thought secretly in his heart, consume it, continue to consume it, until the end, you will cry.

For Shi Le, confrontation is actually failure. When the construction of the north and south cities of Fangtou is completed, the situation will be decided.

When entering the camp, they happened to encounter a large group of cavalry rushing out, so the Silver Spear Army retreated to the side and formed an array to get out of the way.

Zhang Daniu took a glance and found that he was a Forbidden Army cavalry seconded from Luoyang.

They had hardly fought along the way, and they suddenly left, which made him a little confused.

Could it be that the emperor issued an edict to mobilize troops?

No one could answer him, but he was not afraid to speculate on the emperor and his ministers with the greatest malice.

Damn it, what are those idiots for?

He subconsciously looked up at the camp again, as if looking for spiritual sustenance.

On the high platform, Mr. Chen, dressed in purple robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as tall and steep as a mountain.

Forget it, the bullshit Forbidden Army will just leave. As long as Master Shao is here, nothing will be a problem.

"嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘壣壣壣壚壚" the horse's hooves sounded as he rode out of the camp gate and galloped north.

Zhang Daniu looked in the direction in which the man left, and at the end of the horizon was Shi Le's camp.
