When Zhang Daniu rushed to the river bank, he felt a little irritable unconsciously.
Why is it so windy? Is the sky angry and people complaining?
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 it were a newbie, seeing such a bloody scene, he would probably have vomited.
But after nearly a month of confrontation and fighting, the soldiers on both sides of the attack and defense had long since become 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. It was a blur ten steps away.
Several small wooden bridges had been erected on the Qishui River, and large groups of enemy soldiers surged in with high fighting spirit.
Zhang Daniu straightened his body, faced the wind and sand, and shouted orders.
The messenger unconsciously took a few steps closer. Because he was a little far away, he could only see the deputy governor's lips moving and couldn't hear clearly what he said.
After hearing the order clearly and turning around to deliver the order, everyone's boots were already covered with dust.
After a while, the large group of people gradually retreated to the main camp and stood behind the first trench on the west side.
At this time, the strong wind became lighter, 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 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 emerging from the ground.
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 out.
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 powerful crossbow set up on the camp wall.
In the headwind, the bow and arrow 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 led the silver spear soldiers to jump up, then charged at the enemy soldiers approaching and started fighting with all their strength.
He wielded a long-handled axe, which was the most common armor-breaking blunt weapon among the Silver Spear Army. When he swung it vigorously, the whistling sound through 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 came with a gun and stabbed him.
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. The other man stabbed out without thinking, hitting the 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, climbed over the trench wall, and jumped down directly.
In mid-air, a hook and sickle spear was thrust out, directly hooking him 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.
The exquisite coordination is breathtaking.
The wind has become 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 vigorously.
The arrows landed in the enemy's rear in a flurry, killing and injuring a large area of ​​enemy soldiers who were still burying the trenches.
The enemy soldiers who fought with the Silver Spear Army beside the trench wall fought for a long time. Seeing that the follow-up reinforcements were getting fewer and fewer, they suddenly became unable to hold on. When they reached a certain critical point, they suddenly collapsed and turned around and fled.
Farther away, a second group of five or six hundred enemy soldiers had just crossed the wooden bridge and rushed towards the Jin army camp. As they walked, they collided with the defeated troops, 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 in rows.
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.
The military boots stepped on the soft mud ground without any hesitation or slowness.
The spear was slightly raised forward, feeling very cold.
The jungle of spears moved forward, seemingly crushing everything in their way.
An enemy soldier stumbled over the corpse and yelled in panic. He exerted all his strength on his limbs and tried to get up quickly, but he didn't know whether it was because he was afraid or something else. He just stood up and stumbled a few steps before his legs gave out.
, 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 even had their spears leveled.
No one went out in large numbers 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.
The jungle of spears moves forward.
He was crying and squirming on the ground.
The jungle of spears pressed in.
The enemy soldier turned over his body with all his strength and cried: "Don't kill me."
"Poof!" 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 had many generous and tragic people, and he was no exception.
When he was young, he wandered around the countryside, stealing chickens and poking 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. He was appreciated by the superior officials, and 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 him and would not marry 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 hid behind the baggage train, 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 traveled to Fangtou.
This time, we no longer had to face the overwhelming cavalry, but we could attack the enemy face to face. When we encountered these wall-like warriors with silver spears, we were completely defeated again.
It would be 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 the knees of my mother-in-law 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 were arrayed in formation and were speechless for a long time.
Tried many ways.
A sneak attack in heavy fog, a camp hijack in the middle of the night, a frontal attack, a detour from the west bank of the Qishui River...
I've tried them all, and none of them have worked.
So far, they have 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 such a triangle of river valleys, the cavalry they were so proud of was of no use, and the infantry was not as good as others. Fighting back and forth would only increase 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 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, warehouses, government offices, arsenals, military camps, etc.
On the city wall, the horse face, the urn city, etc. 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 5,000 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 dig foundations 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, and most of the time it was really just a confrontation.
Shile's main infantry army is still moving south one after another. The existing beggar army, Wubao Dingzhuang, has been disabled and may have even mutinied. Anyway, they have not been seen fighting recently.
The newly arrived troops 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 stronghold.
The infantrymen had different thoughts. After suffering heavy casualties, they were unable to fight anymore and could only stay in the camp with low morale and silently lick their wounds.
I really don’t know how the ancient battles where tens of thousands of people were attacked and killed were fought.
Zhang Daniu thought to himself, go ahead and continue to spend until the end, you will cry.
For Shi Le, the confrontation was actually a failure. When the construction of the northern and southern cities of Fangtou was completed, the situation was settled.
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嘘嘘嘘壘" The horse's hooves sounded as he rode out of the camp gate and galloped north.
Zhang Daniu looked in the direction in which this man left, and at the end of the horizon was Shi Le's camp.
Chapter completed!
