Under the cover of shelling and rockets, many Wugang vehicles were hit one after another, and kerosene was sprinkled on the wood of the vehicles, igniting a raging fire. The surrounding Shu army officers and soldiers were extremely noisy, and were using various things to put out the fire.
The Shu army's formation was full of smoke and fire, and it was simply a smoky atmosphere.
There was cheers from the Wei army. The comprehensive crossbowmen had put away their crossbows and replaced their berylliums with both hands. While advancing forward, they stabbed the beryllium into the sky. The shouts were endless, "Fire attack! Fire attack..."
Xiong Shou was excited but did not calm down, so he sat on his horse and yelled in front of him: "Young people, please remember, when you see General Xiong from now on, you have to call me daddy!"
"Hahaha..." The soldiers around burst into laughter.
The cavalry that had retreated earlier reorganized their formation, rushed out from both wings of the infantry, and launched an attack on the enemy formation again!
"Fire! Fire..." all the cavalry shouted in unison. Accompanied by the roar of hoofbeats, the cavalry rushed directly up the gentle slope.
The Shu army's infantry formation was in chaos. Many people got branches and even sand and were still putting out the fire. There was no one in the Wugang carriage that was smoking. Rows of cavalry rushed over, and the chaotic Shu army infantry was everywhere. Running around.
At this time, a group of Shu Han cavalry appeared in the south, and reinforcements came from the rear of the army formation. When they got close to 20 or 30 steps, the enemy cavalry began to fire.
The enemy cavalry were wearing strange clothes, and some of them had disheveled hair. This should be a cavalry belonging to the Wudang Feijun. It is said that they shoot poisonous arrows!
However, the cavalry in the Wei army's center camp are the best among the best. They have supplemented a large number of soldiers who are good at horse fighting and are well-equipped with armor. They don't care about so many, they shoot at the cavalry and directly attack the enemy's cavalry generals! They form a column. The cavalry charged wildly and passed over the burning vehicles.
As the war horses galloped, heavy blows like "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, etc." were heard everywhere, and instantly people everywhere raised their heads and neighed.
Because the terrain was not very open and there were burning vehicles blocking it, the Wei cavalry could only move in columns, and a melee with the enemy cavalry soon broke out in front. Many Wei cavalry threw away their shields and spears and waved their hands to fight with the enemy. Fight hard.
Wudang Feijun's cavalry was defeated and soon fell into a disadvantage. Human energy is always limited. The cavalry who are good at riding and shooting are generally not as good at fighting in close combat as the Wei army's cavalry.
In the rear formation of the Wei army, "dong, dong, dong..." the slow rhythm of drums sounded, mixed with a burst of wind music. The whole army began to advance forward.
Xiong Shou also rode his horse and marched slowly in the army, intending to push the entire battle line forward and reach the gentle slope in front.
The slope was very small, and it would not have brought much terrain advantage to the Shu Han army. However, there were rice fields under the slope, which not only took up space, but also divided the Wei army's formation into two parts; the muddy rice fields in the middle were not suitable for military activities!
As long as the Wei army advances up the slope, the valleys will be connected and the battlefield will become more open. For the Wei army, the open battlefield is more conducive to cavalry maneuvers. Moreover, the use of catapults can also attack the Wu Gang in the depth of the Shu army's formation. Car, continue the fire attack!
The infantry in front has already gone uphill. Under the suppression of the Wei army's infantry and cavalry, the battle line is moving south.
At this moment, Xiong Shou suddenly felt a cold feeling on his nose. In an instant, he secretly felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and touched it. There was no color on his fingertips. When he pinched it with two fingers, he felt that it was water.
He immediately looked up at the sky and saw raindrops faintly flashing through the black smoke.
Almost after a while, the raindrops became more and more dense!
The various dins of human voices and horses' neighing converged into a "buzzing" noise, but the small "rustling" sound of raindrops was pervasive and reached people's ears.
The soldiers who were cheering and shouting a moment ago soon stopped, and countless people looked up at the sky. It was as if something strange suddenly appeared in the sky.
It's not unusual for it to rain, but it's certainly noticeable at this moment.
Xiong Shou, who had a round waist and thick arms, showed a look of sadness and anger on his face at this time. He took the horse spear and fiercely shouted: "Thief, God! Thief!"
The general next to him said in a deep voice: "General, it's time to put away the sling."
Xiong Shou sighed and nodded vigorously without saying anything.
The general immediately turned around and shouted: "General Xiong ordered, put away the catapult, put it on the cart, and cover it with a felt."
Someone not far away responded: "Yes!"
The fire in the Shu army's battle formation has not been completely extinguished by the rain, but the weapons on the Wei army's side must be put away quickly.
Because the catapult is made of beef tendon, glue and other materials, it is easily damaged when used in the rain. It is not easy to transport it along the Qinchuan Road.
Not only catapults, but also bows and crossbows can no longer be used, otherwise long-range weapons will be lost in large quantities and it will be difficult to replenish them in a short period of time! Bows and crossbows also use various tendons, boiled fish bladder glue and other materials, so they are still afraid of rainy days.
The rain fell harder and harder, turning into a curtain of rain in the sky! The moist wind roared down the valley, and the rain curtains flew diagonally in the mid-air.
The dust in the sky gradually disappeared, but the burning embers in Wugang's car were still filled with smoke. For a while, people couldn't tell whether it was smoke or rain and fog.
The fighting did not stop. The horses and infantry in the front line of the Shu army retreated directly to the south, leaving behind more Wugang chariot formations in the depth. The infantry of the Wei army went up to kill the generals, and the cold light of the swords and spears in the heavy rain was like sparkling waves.
sparkling water.
"Zheng!" The Wei soldiers who had just rushed forward held beryllium in both hands. They opened and closed it widely. They swung the beryllium forward and slashed it diagonally. The double blades split the rain curtain and made a vibrating buzz of iron. "哐!" After the heavy blow.
Next, a scream came from the front.
Immediately more people rushed together, waving their hands and spears in the middle, and the people's shouts shook the sky. The shield soldiers of the Wei army who rushed up from the flanks also entered the battle line, and there was a dull sound of wood collision.
, mixed with the crisp sound of metal collision.
Some Wei troops have already reached the front of Wugang's chariot. It is a sidecar with a wooden baffle in front. The baffle is inlaid with iron awl blades and has holes. The crossbow arrows can no longer be used, but the spears carried on the vehicle are
It is still possible to attack through holes.
A group of cavalry from the Wei army rushed towards the flank, their iron hooves treading the muddy water like splashing water.
Sometimes the cavalry column can break through the Shu army's infantry formation, but it cannot penetrate the military formation quickly. The scattered chariots will block the way, and the cavalry can only zigzag between the chariot formations. After the speed is slowed down, they will encounter the enemy.
Army infantry counterattack!
At this time, the infantry fronts of both sides were intertwined, and it became a melee.
People trampled in the stagnant water, turbid muddy water splashed, countless people were covered in filth, and the scene was very crazy. Blood, flesh and excrement were directly mixed into the muddy water, flowing everywhere, and a disgusting smell shrouded the rain.
