Chapter 2735: Collecting the corpses and charging into the rain of arrows
Jin army, left wing, vehicle formation.
Yuan Zun stared intently at the formation of more than 3,000 people two hundred paces away. A few steps apart, sergeants holding spears and spears cautiously approached the silent Jin army's vehicle formation. The sound of drums and shouts of death were soaring to the sky.
Tens of thousands of Yan army soldiers desperately pressed their feet on the ground, struck their shields with their swords, and shouted to kill at the loudest decibel level. With the roar of hundreds of war drums, if someone who didn't know was several miles away, there would be
I thought there were thousands of troops here attacking with all their strength.
Yuan Miao wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the Jin army's chariot array and shields, which were hit by at least dozens of arrows. They were so densely packed that they no longer looked like shields, but like arrow targets.
A greater number of arrows fell under the car body, and the pile was more than a foot high. The Jin army's car defense line already looked like an archery range, and outside the archery range, there were thousands of corpses lying around.
At this time, more than half of it had been cleared away, and there were only two to three hundred mutilated corpses scattered in the space less than fifty steps in front of the car array.
Yuan Miao gritted his teeth and turned to look behind him. More than 10,000 archers had already drawn their bows and were ready to go. He said in a deep voice: "Go forward and shoot quickly to suppress the enemy archers. Fire a twenty-round salvo, quick!"
"
A lieutenant general blinked: "Second General, do you want to shoot again? We are almost running out of arrows. If there is a fight soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to cover the battle."
Yuan Miao glanced at him angrily: "What do you know? If you don't shoot arrows, how can the brothers in front dare to pick up the corpses? Previously, relying on these arrows to suppress them, the Jin army stopped firing back, so they cleaned up the corpses.
More than half of them are gone, and now there are only the last batch of corpses left to deal with. After cleaning them up, we can attack."
The lieutenant general shook his head and murmured: "Anyway, it's not my men who are going to die. You can do whatever you say. But the second general, these guys from the Servants and Helan tribes are really annoying. They say they are supporting them from behind.
But they just looked at them and refused to even come up to shoot arrows. I think they want us to try out the formation."
Yuan Miao gritted his teeth and said: "Whatever, the National Preceptor asked us to have 40,000 to 50,000 troops here. We are not here to watch the fun. Now in the middle of the Jin Army, even Liu Yu's flag has fallen. If we even
Even a left-wing vehicle formation cannot be broken. I am afraid that after the war, I will be like Gongsun Gui and lose his head. Just carry out the order."
The lieutenant general nodded and led his men forward. Another burst of arrows flew into the sky and fell like raindrops on the front line of the car formation. The sergeants who came forward threw out their nooses one after another and walked away more than ten steps away.
The sergeant who grabbed the hands, feet, and heads of the still intact corpses, and then quickly pulled them back, pulled back one or a piece of the corpse, as if he was granted amnesty, pulled the corpse with joy, and crawled back backwards.
After entering their own backfield, after crawling a hundred paces away, the cavalrymen of the Servant Corps would pass by, load the corpses on their horses, salute and then gallop away. And these sergeants who succeeded in dragging the corpses,
You can also feel at ease and happily run to the back, sit in a circle, talk and laugh, and celebrate with your companions that you are back alive.
Yuan Miao walked to Yuan Zun's side and shook his head: "Brother, the last area has been cleared. It's time for a full-scale attack. Do we really want to attack this car formation? If we encounter the enemy's strong
Crossbow, I'm afraid it will suffer heavy losses."
Yuan Zun's eyes sparkled and he murmured: "Second brother, do you think these eight-oxen crossbows of the Jin army are really still in the formation?"
Yuan Miao's face changed: "Didn't you say that this thing cannot be disassembled or transferred? We have been shooting for so long without encountering any counterattack. I'm afraid it was damaged by us."
Yuan Zun gritted his teeth: "I hope so. Now the central area of the Jin Army seems to have been invaded by the Imperial Army. Those sky lanterns that descended from the sky set the entire Jin Army formation on fire. I am afraid that all the armored cavalry will also attack the Jin Army Commander."
I think the troops and horses on both sides of the Jin army's chariot formation have probably withdrawn to defend. Otherwise, how could we have been shooting for so long without any movement? This is unreasonable."
Yuan Miao's eyes lit up: "Brother is absolutely right. Maybe the enemy troops have really quietly evacuated and are setting up an empty formation here. Should we try to attack?"
Yuan Zun laughed: "Then attack him and let all the ten thousand archers stand up and advance while shooting. If the Jin army still has troops behind, they will definitely rise up and fight back. If there is no fight back,
It means there is no one behind, give me three thousand swordsmen and axe-men to advance forward and rush into the car formation!"
Left wing, outside the formation, two miles, hill.
He Lanlu looked coldly at the nearly 10,000 walking archers, forming six or seven horizontal lines. They stepped forward to shoot one after another. Then the archers in the back row took ten steps forward for the next round of firing.
Using this method of shooting while walking, they had advanced from a distance of about 120 steps to about 50 steps. Most of the arrows they shot passed the chariot shield and flew behind the chariot formation, but
The formation was still quiet, with no sign of any retaliation.
Pu Guwu squinted his eyes: "Could it be that the Jin army behind this formation has really withdrawn?"
He Lanlu sneered and said: "Anyway, let the brothers of the Yuan family try it. If there is really no one behind the formation, then according to our original plan, you rush into the formation quickly. Servant bone, this time
The time has come for you to make a contribution."
A hint of excitement flashed in Pu Guwu's eyes: "I'll go right away. After joining the battle, I'll fight all the way to the central commander's platform. I'll have the opportunity to take off Liu Yu's head and make a great contribution!"
Helan Lu patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "I wish you and Aman good luck."
Pu Guwu laughed and was about to speak. Suddenly, he heard a rapid sound of drums and horns behind the car formation, and hundreds of voices roared at the same time: "Wind, wind, wind!"
Following the roaring sound, at least tens of thousands of feather arrows rose into the sky from about fifty steps behind the formation. The sky suddenly became dim, and the large black arrows covered the sky and the sun.
Like a dark cloud, carrying the scream of death, it slammed into the queue of 10,000 archers who had mostly entered within fifty steps in front of the formation and were shooting from there.
These Yan Army archers, who were lightly armed or even without armor, were attacked by such a rapid and fierce storm of arrow rain. They fell down in pieces like a wheat field blown by a Category 12 typhoon. The archers in the first two rows fell down in pieces.
, didn't even bother to fight back, turned around, and tried to escape backwards with all their strength. If they had eyes on their backs at this time, they would have seen that after they turned around and escaped more than ten steps, those big cars were
Thousands of bodies suddenly appeared from behind the shield, and on top of the shield, a large bow with full strings was drawn. Yu Qiujin's murderous face appeared on a large cart, accompanied by
