The second wave of arrows followed one after another.
The sharp crossbow arrows easily tore the dark skin of the Baiyue soldiers and penetrated into their bodies.
Guihou, who was still crossing the river on the raft, could even vaguely hear the heart-pounding "crack" sound of crossbow arrows tearing apart flesh and blood and penetrating bones!
The entire hundred-foot-long river bank was now deserted! Even Baiyue, who was on more than a hundred rafts that were too close to the river bank, jumped into the river to avoid the arrows!
On the river bank, gurgling bright red blood flowed into the water, dyeing the river water dark red.
Guihou saw the power of Dazhou's strong crossbow again, and he knew that this crossbow was not Dazhou's limit.
The "Wednesday Crossbow" equipped by the main army of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not appear on the battlefield.
That was Gui Hou's lifelong nightmare. No matter whether it was the rattan armor, bamboo armor or even iron armor on her body, or the shield in her hand, the wooden shield or even the iron shield, they could not stop the power of the divine machine crossbow from penetrating the golden travertine.
Even if they are blocked by dense jungle, the divine machine crossbow can still cause huge damage to them.
At that time, under the Zhou army's powerful bows and crossbows and iron armor and steel shields, the Baiyue King's army had no power to resist.
Although Xia Zhi and others were killers, the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of them still made their stomachs churn!
People who practice martial arts have a keener sense of smell, and the smell of blood in the river
Originally they prided themselves on being cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people with ease, but compared with the generals in the army who were used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they were far from being as comfortable as they were.
Gui Hou saw the current situation of the Baiyue Allied Forces. The landing was blocked, and the Zhou army's crossbows could continuously kill the Baiyue Erlang in the water.
Gui Hou tore off his clothes, revealing the rattan armor under his clothes, and shouted loudly: "My sons, how many of our tribesmen were killed by the Zhou army back then! Now it's time for us to take revenge! For the glory of King Baiyue
, sons and daughters, follow me!”
After saying that, Guihou immediately jumped into the river and swam quickly towards the shore.
On the battlefield, one of the most morale-boosting words is "Follow me!"
The purpose of uniting the army and gathering people is to stir up anger.
If a general is not afraid when facing battle, is not panicked when facing trouble, is not timid when facing strong force, and takes the lead, his morale will be useful.
Although there is only one word difference between "Follow me" and "Follow me", the expressions are enough to make people's blood boil.
Seeing their general, armed with a large shield and a Wu hook, fighting towards the shore, the soldiers of the Baiyue Allied Army were also full of fighting spirit. They stepped onto the shore again and rushed up to kill them swarm!
Although Guihou was from the Baiyue tribe, he was indeed a rare good general, brave and resourceful, and won the hearts of his soldiers.
The four Xia Zhi people who were watching the battle on the south bank were excited when they saw this scene. This was the second battle to rebuild the Qin Dynasty!
After calming down, Xia Zhi said, "Let's go!"
On the summer solstice, Guyu and four others borrowed a bamboo raft on the river, jumped up and down, and rushed to the river bank.
"Fire the arrow!"
The captain Zhao Quan who defended the river bank only had 1,500 troops under his command, but Yan Lide equipped them with a large number of bows and crossbows.
When facing enemies on the river, crossbows are the most effective method.
When the four Yuanhua Realm masters appeared, dozens of crossbow machines that had not been fired began to fire.
The city defense troops at the city level in Dazhou County will all be issued a certain number of breaking arrows.
Because the enemies faced by these city defense troops are not soldiers fighting on the battlefield, but more often they deal with thieves, bandits, and even villains.
Once one of these people has the Yuan Hua realm, the arrows that are best used against people in the Jianghu will be useless.
Therefore, the six gates at the county level and the city defense army will be distributed with breaking arrows to restrict the Yuanhua realm warriors.
Yan Lide distributed Po Gang Arrows to more than 20 sharpshooters in the army, asking them to deal with the masters of the enemy army.
Zhao Quan originally didn't take this seriously, but now he realizes that Yan Lide's arrangements are indeed thorough.
When Xia Zhi and the four men were about to rush into the formation, the twenty-eight sharpshooters who had been hiding opened fire.
Twenty-eight Po Gang arrows were shot at Xia Zhi and Guyu from different angles.
There are exactly seven per person, which is very fair.
If it were Yang Qingyuan or Liu Wangshu who were in the Yuan Hua realm, with their light skills, the seven Po Gang Arrows would not be able to pose the slightest threat to them.
But after all, not every Yuanhua master has Qinggong like Yang Qingyuan, so when they were suddenly attacked by Po Gang arrows in mid-air, the four of them were in an embarrassing situation where they could not rely on their strength in mid-air.
Fortunately, the four of them cooperated tacitly and relied on each other's strength to barely avoid the attack of this wave of breaking arrows.
However, Guyu's left arm was still injured by Po Gang Arrow, and the four of them immediately fell into the ground among the Baiyue soldiers who rushed up to the river bank.
He also picked up the vine shield that fell on the ground.
The Pogang Arrow is exquisitely designed and has a complicated process. It is a masterpiece of engineering since the Mohist family retreated from the world.
Even the body-protecting Zhen Gang in the Yuan Hua realm will be broken by a single blow when faced with the Po Gang arrow.
Although the Po Gang Arrow has an excellent effect when facing the true essence, but... it cannot break armor, and its penetrating power is average...
Therefore, the simplest and most effective way for martial arts masters to face Po Gang Arrow is to wear armor.
Before setting off, Gui Hou asked the four of them if they needed to wear a piece of bamboo armor to protect themselves from hidden arrow attacks.
At that time, the four people in Xia Zhi were very confident.
After all, they are masters of the Yuan Hua Realm. In the city streets, where the army cannot form a formation, even three hundred elite soldiers cannot do anything to them.
But when the army lines up to fight and forms a military formation, the difficulty for warriors to confront the army increases by more than one level.
When the battle started on the banks of the Daying River, the battle between the troops led by Yan Lide on the east side and the 5,000 troops led by General Gui Lie was in full swing.
Although the Baiyue soldiers and horses under Gui Lie were agile and good at jungle warfare, they had just experienced the battle in Jianyang County, and then rushed on rafts all night, so they were physically exhausted. In addition, the Baiyue soldiers had only been formed for a short time.
Without strict training, he only relied on his bravery in battle.
The soldiers and horses under Yan Lide's command were resting and recuperating. Although they were only city defense troops and preparation troops, they were well-trained and well-equipped compared to the Baiyue soldiers.
The two sides relied on their numbers, while the other relied on their elite soldiers. The fight was fierce and inextricable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, as time went by, the Baiyue Allied Forces lacked stamina and their decline gradually became apparent.
Gui Lie, who was riding his horse and standing outside the battlefield, saw it and was anxious in his heart. He knew the shortcomings of the Baiyue Allied Forces. When fighting with a favorable wind, he would be incomparable with his bravery, but once he fell into a headwind or the two sides were in a stalemate,
At that time, the Baiyue Allied Army was still incomparable to the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty, although these Zhou troops were not yet the main field army of the Zhou court.
As the battle progresses, the decline of the Baiyue Allied Forces has become apparent. Gui Lie's only hope now is that Gui Hou's 20,000-strong army can cross the river and land as soon as possible, attack the Zhou army from the rear, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
Guihou, who was landing on the river bank, also saw the battle situation on the east side of the camp. Guihou's troops were gradually in disarray and immediately stepped up their offensive!
"kill!"
The overwhelming number of Baiyue soldiers rushed towards Zhao Quan's tribe like a tide.
At this moment, most of Zhao Quan's troops have put down their crossbows and raised their swords!
The 1,500 men and horses were divided into five groups by Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan is in the center, and the outer troops are deployed layer by layer. Large shields and spears are outside, followed by bows and crossbows, and mobile troops are inside. This is the square formation among the ten formations of Sun Boling's Art of War. The formation is dense and the defense is extremely strong, but
Also, due to the dense formation, mobility is limited and there is a lack of change. It is difficult to pursue the enemy after retreating, and the offensive power is poor.
The square and round formation is naturally the most suitable formation for the current Zhou army.
The Baiyue Allied Forces did not have any formations, including Gui Hou, who was a good general.
There are different versions of the art of war spread throughout the world, but these are unique skills of military strategists and rarely circulated to the outside world. The rare art of war is worth tens of thousands of gold.
Opposite is the formation battle chapter. Without systematic study, it is difficult to master the formations.
Unless you have the same battlefield sense as the former Han Dynasty Champion and former Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, then there is no need for formations at all.
The battlefield situation is under your control, and any awkwardness or sluggishness in the so-called formation will become a flaw in your eyes.
Therefore, among the four types of military strategists, the military strategist is the one that needs the most talent.
Unfortunately, Gui Hou was not such a person, so he could only rely on his bravery and the strength of the Baiyue Allied Forces to attack Zhao Quan's square formation.
The Baiyue soldiers collided with the formation, but the large shields on the outside of the square formation made it difficult for them to break through.
On the contrary, the spear behind the shield was waiting for the opportunity, firing arrows continuously, harvesting the lives of the Baiyue soldiers!
"I come!"
Xia Zhi saw this scene and knew that now was the perfect opportunity to establish his authority!
Holding a shield, he rushed to the front. Facing the Zhou army's shield wall, Xia Zhi mobilized all his true energy and punched out with all his strength.
The skills practiced by Xia Zhi were as fierce and domineering as the scorching summer sun. He struck with all his strength and instantly shattered the large shield into pieces.
Several Zhou soldiers behind the shield were also knocked away, and the originally tight formation immediately began to become chaotic.
Guihou saw that a hole had been torn open in the Zhou army's formation, and immediately commanded the army to attack the place.
Under the tidal attack of the Baiyue Allied Forces, the Square Formation was completely defeated.
The two sides fell into a melee.
A Zhou army was pierced through the chest and abdomen with a harpoon by a Baiyue soldier. He actually held the harpoon up and let the harpoon pass through his chest and abdomen. He swung his sword and chopped off the head of the Baiyue barbarian who was holding an iron fork with a wooden handle!
This scene is happening everywhere!
Fighting for life, trading injury for injury.
Yan Lide on the east side also discovered the situation at Jinshui Camp at this moment, but he could no longer divide his troops for rescue.
Now we can only defeat the enemy on the east side as soon as possible and then return to support the main camp. If he retreats at this time, it will be equivalent to giving away the advantage of the battlefield on the east side.
In the distance, Jianjin County also discovered that the Jinshui Camp was under attack. Although the Jianjin County Governor was a civil servant, he was still a relatively orthodox civil servant. He had read the art of war thoroughly and was proficient in bow and horse.
After discovering the anomaly in the Jinshui Camp, he immediately ordered the remaining 3,000 troops in the city to prepare for the war, and only 500 were left to defend the city. The remaining 2,500 were led by the captain of the city defense army to immediately rush to the rescue of the Jinshui Camp.
.
At the same time, the Jianjin County Sheriff, who had been well prepared, summoned the young men in the city overnight to carry rolling logs and rocks and prepare golden juice and boiling water.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the Bei Cao Army in the city rushed to the Jinshui Camp. With the support of two thousand fresh troops, Zhao Quan's troops were brought back from the brink of collapse.
Under the dark clouds, the fierce battle continues.
The blood of the two armies mixed and flowed down the river bank.
But at this time, the Baiyue Allied Forces had already landed, and they did not realize that besides blood, there was something else slowly covering the Tianshui.
Two quarters of an hour later, in the midst of a fierce battle, the Baiyue allied forces on the east side were in chaos first.
It was clear that the main army was right in front of us, but it was unable to support the battlefield on the east side. The Baiyue Allied Forces, which originally only fought against the wind, collapsed.
Under the command of Yan Lide, the Zhou army defeated the suspected soldiers on the east side with their inferior strength.
Despite this, the Zhou army was still in a critical situation. Although Gui Lie on the east side was defeated by Yan Lide, its tactical purpose had been achieved.
Yan Lide was restrained, and the main force of 20,000 Vietnamese troops successfully crossed the Tianshui River.
The Jinshui camp is already crumbling and in danger.
After defeating the suspected troops on the east side, Yan Lide left 500 troops to prepare for the resurgence of the defeated troops, and he immediately returned to the central army with the remaining troops.
But the situation at this time could no longer be restored by his return. Under the command of Gui Hou, the Baiyue Allied Forces were so powerful that they beat the Zhou army back again and again.
"It would be great if there was still a new force at this time!"
God seemed to hear the call of General Yan Zhonglang and let people respond to him.
"Oh?! Are five thousand elite soldiers of the Shenwu Army enough?"
Just when Yan Lide thought he was hallucinating, a troop of soldiers and horses was speeding towards Jianjin County.
Among the marching torches, flags with the characters "Yang" and "Cheng" can be seen flying.
Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared next to him, Yan Lide asked carefully, "I don't know what to do?!"
"Marquis of Wuxiang, Yang Qingyuan!"
Not long after, five thousand elite soldiers of the Shenwu Army, led by Cheng Lixue, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, entered the battle formation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These five thousand people are the main force of the Shenwu Army, and three thousand of them are the elite soldiers and horses drawn by the Shenwu Army from various armies to escort the military pay.
This kind of combat power is among the top even among the Sixth Army.
The forward soldiers were wearing paper armor and holding long swords. The crossbowmen at their sides were holding ten-arrow Xuanji crossbows and fired continuously, instantly suppressing the offensive of the Baiyue Allied Forces.
When Guihou saw this army and horses, he felt familiar.
That’s right! The predecessor of the Shenwu Army stationed in the southeast was the Wu Xiangwei under King Dongou.
The jungle warfare method was also adapted from the warfare method of Wu Xiangwei under the command of King Dongou.
This is not the second-line troops and reserves such as the city defense army, Bei Cao army, and Bei Japanese army. This is the real main force and elite of the Zhou Dynasty.
The most glorious achievement of the Shenwu Army was when they defeated the Southern Barbarians' 80,000 troops with 5,000 elite troops near the 100,000 Mountains in the south.
After a moment of fighting between the two sides, Gui Hou discovered that the Baiyue Allied Forces were gradually collapsing.
It was still too hasty to raise the army. If Guihou was given three months, he would be sure to train the Baiyue coalition into a strong force.
It's a pity that there is no what if.
The combat effectiveness of the Baiyue Allied Forces, which was against the wind, still declined severely, and they were no longer as brave as when they first fought.
"withdraw!"
Although he was unwilling to give in, Gui Hou knew that he could not continue fighting like this.
The Wu Gou of the Baiyue Allied Forces could not even break through the paper armor of the Shenwu Army with a few hits, and the homemade bows and arrows could not compete with the Shenwu Army's Shenji Crossbow and Xuanji Crossbow.
The lack of training and the generation difference in equipment made the Baiyue Allied Forces completely unable to compete with the Shenwu Army.
Fortunately, Guihou left a way out, and the quietly flowing water was his retreat route.
Just as he was pushing towards the shore, Yang Qingyuan smiled slightly and threw a signal arrow into the sky.
"boom!"
The originally calm river surface suddenly burst into flames! The way back was cut off!
