Zhou Yin gritted his teeth and stared at the hillside in the distance. Of course he knew that giving an order to shoot at this time might accidentally injure Sun Luban, but he still issued the order. He knew very well that according to the situation at hand, if he didn't do this
, then the second batch of attacking soldiers will not be surprised to see them again.
They were defeated for the first time, and this failure was not as good as the first time. The first time they all died in battle, which could cause some damage to the Shu army. But now they were defeated quickly and did not achieve the desired combat goal at all. Even if they return
Once on the ship, what awaited them was still a dead end.
Rather than killing them in front of their own people, it would be better to shoot them and the Shu army to death with a burst of arrows, and maybe there would be an unexpected harvest.
As for Sun Luban, it depends on her luck. Such a long distance is also the limit for a crossbowman. The aim cannot be controlled, and it is inevitable that the arrows will fly randomly. The arrows can also kill people, and his father Zhou Yu is
He was injured by a stray arrow and died of his injuries. If Sun Luban was shot by a stray arrow, he might also die here.
What Zhou Yin didn't expect was that Sun Luban was so unlucky and was shot so quickly. Seeing the woman in brocade rolling down the hillside, Zhou Yin sighed and felt relieved at the same time. He roared loudly and ordered all
The crossbowmen came ashore, got as close to the hillside as possible, and fired with all their strength.
Under Zhou Yin's urging, more than two hundred crossbowmen had no way out. It was difficult to shoot their comrades to death, but no one wanted to be killed by Zhou Yin now, and they also noticed that Sun Luban was missing on the hillside.
, I don’t know if she is dead or hidden, but for them, if they can’t see her, they can pretend that she doesn’t exist. She becomes more and more unscrupulous.
The bow strings rang sharply and the arrows flew rapidly. The sudden arrow array attack not only caused heavy casualties to the Wu army soldiers who were fighting in front of the array, but also the Shu army suffered a lot of losses. Seventeen or eight people were killed or seriously injured by arrows, more than the third
Killing more than a hundred Wu soldiers at once would cost even more.
Zhao Tong also received an arrow. He heard the exclamations on the hillside and found Sun Luban rolling down the hillside. He rushed to rescue him. He was careless for a moment and received an arrow in the buttocks. The situation was tense at that time.
In addition, the old wound on his thigh was torn and painful, so he didn't notice that he was injured.
Arrow roared and raised his shield to form a formation, while he picked up Sun Luban and looked carefully. When he lifted up the hem of Sun Luban's clothes, he found that Sun Luban's thigh had been torn open by the arrow, but his life was not in danger.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and continued to direct the battle.
The moment Zhao Tong let go of Sun Luban and stood up. Sun Luban picked up a knife on the ground and was about to stab Zhao Tong when he saw an arrow stuck in Zhao Tong's butt. She was stunned for a moment and then woke up.
Zhao Tong was hit by an arrow to save her. Otherwise, he would have been facing Wu Jun and would not have been hit by an arrow in the back.
The bloody sword slipped from her hand. She looked around at a loss. The sword-shielders and spearmen all around were covering each other, resisting the Wu army's arrow rain, and preparing to counterattack. No one noticed her at all. Nothing
When she thought clearly, Zhao Tong rushed over with a shield, grabbed her neck, pushed her down, and roared at the same time: "You don't want your life, you are standing here stupidly, thinking that you Wu people are
Arrow knows you?"
Sun Luban was caught off guard and fell to the ground. She could see nothing but a mess of combat boots and corpses. She yelled in a panic and fought for her life, trying to break free from Zhao Tong's hand.
, but couldn't move at all. While dragging her back, Zhao Tong shouted an order: "Defend intensively, with shield hands in front and spearmen in hand, prepare to counterattack!"
"Here!" Although the swordsmen and spearmen were caught off guard by the Wu army and injured many people, they did not lose their position. Under Zhao Tong's command, they quickly changed their formations, with the swordsmen and spearmen in front.
The spearmen stayed behind, covering each other and preparing for a counterattack.
The soldiers on the hillside reacted faster. While Dunwu and others protected Wei Ba, a dozen soldiers rushed to the hillsides on both sides and rushed towards the Wu army crossbowmen who were on the shore and were shooting. Wang Shuang
With a loud roar, he jumped down from the hillside, facing
Wu Jun's arrows were running wildly, while he drew his bow and fired one after another. Although the arrows he shot alone were not dense enough, their power should not be underestimated. In a moment, several Wu Jun crossbowmen were shot by him and fell backwards.
There were waves of splashing in the water.
From a distance of more than a hundred steps, Wang Shuang shot more than 20 arrows, killing more than a dozen Wu army crossbowmen. He inserted the bow back into the bow and pulled out his two beloved hammers, striding
Rufei rushed towards the stunned Wu army archers.
At a distance of more than a hundred steps, he was hit by several arrows one after another. The arrows were swept away by him like thatch, and blood spattered from the wounds. However, he still ran as fast as flying, whipping up a burst of madness, and rushed in.
The Wu army's crossbowmen formed a formation.
"Kill!" With a roar, the hammer swung up and hit the helmet of a crossbowman. With a loud "dang" sound, the crossbowman flew sideways and fell into the river with a bang, and blood immediately flowed into the river.
dyed red.
"Kill!" roared again, and the back-swept hammer hit the arm of a soldier Wu who was slashing with a knife. The arm was broken, and the sword flew away without knowing where to go. The soldier Wu screamed and clutched his wrist.
To retreat, Wang Shuang took a step forward, grabbed him, and hit him head-on with the hammer. With a muffled sound of "push", the soldier's brains burst and he fell down softly.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen soldiers came from both sides. They rushed into the Wu army formation and killed them violently. These crossbowmen had average melee combat abilities and were no match for them. They were killed in a panic, and the arrow formation immediately
It was revealed that the Wu army's crossbowmen could no longer heed Zhou Yin's military orders and fled towards the warship, crying.
The pressure on Zhao Tong and others was greatly reduced, and they also roared and killed.
Zhou Yin frowned, and ordered the soldiers who stayed on the warship to fight back, and at the same time ordered the warship to sail away from the shore. He saw the battle of Wang Shuang and others at close range, and knew that these people were far from his own soldiers.
Able to compete. If he had enough troops, maybe he could still fight with them, but now the two attacks were fruitless, more than 300 people had gone without return, and he only had less than 200 troops left. What?
He can easily fight with these tiger-like soldiers.
Wei Ba walked out from behind the shield and looked at the Wu army warships slowly sailing away from the shore. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
He felt that Zhou Yin's behavior was a bit abnormal. He left the favorable terrain of the hillside and rushed to the water's edge. It was a great opportunity for the Wu army to counterattack the siege. Why did Zhou Yin sail the warship away from the river bank? He had lost his courage. No.
Dare to fight again, or why?
At the same time, Zhou Yin was also looking at Wei Ba on the hillside in the distance. His mood was equally complicated. Wei Ba's strength greatly exceeded his expectations. He lost more than 300 people, but he failed to shake Wei Ba's position.
.I don’t know how much damage this burst of arrows caused to Wei Ba just now. But Wei Ba’s fierce counterattack caused heavy losses to his crossbowmen. A rough estimate is that at least one-third of the crossbowmen
After being killed, the strength in his hands was already very limited.
Should we continue to attack, or should we give up? If we continue to attack, we will need to recruit some of the troops who guard the prisoners to supplement them. If we give up, will Wei Ba and the princess be allowed to leave before his eyes?
Brother, can you cut off Wei Ba's retreat in time?
…
More than ten miles deep in the Phoenix Valley behind Wei Ba, Zhou Jun was advancing cautiously with more than a thousand soldiers. He had to be careful. At first, he only knew that there were barbarians around Wei Ba, but he did not know what kind of soldiers were around Wei Ba.
How many barbarians are there? If there are too many barbarians, he may not only be unable to complete the task, but also suffer heavy losses. These soldiers are all
They are his private soldiers. If the losses are too great and he fails to win, it will be difficult for him to make up for the losses, and there will be no chance to participate in the war in the future, let alone meritorious service. Secondly, he knows very well that these barbarians are fighting in the mountains.
Ability. Although the soldiers around him are also familiar with mountain warfare, they have to fight with barbarians in the mountains. The risks cannot be underestimated.
Zhou Yin said that the information obtained by the scouts was that the number of barbarians around Wei Ba would not exceed 300. He believed Zhou Yin, but he still could not be careless. There were too many intrigues on the battlefield, the situation was changing rapidly, and the scouts' information also changed.
It may be false, but even if it is true, the news was only two or three days ago. Who knows if it is still like that now?
It’s always a good idea to be cautious.
With this mentality, Zhou Jun camped step by step and advanced slowly in the mountains. He asked the scouts to work in groups of ten to carefully check the terrain within five miles and not miss any suspicious places to avoid being ambushed by the barbarians.
It's late autumn, and although the weather is no longer as hot as midsummer, wearing a thick war robe and heavy armor, walking in the dense woods and on the rugged mountain road is still an experience that has nothing to do with happiness.
It's something. I don't know if it's because of nervousness or something on my body.
The armor was too heavy, or the humidity in the woods was too high. Zhou Jun's body was covered with sweat, and his clothes stuck to his body, which was very uncomfortable. Every time he stepped on it, the rotten branches and leaves sank deeply, making a gurgling sound.
There was a loud noise, and the combat boots also squeaked, as if they were filled with water.
Zhou Jun wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the silent mountains in the distance, and sighed worriedly. He always felt that Zhou Yin was taking too much risk by doing this, even if he cut off Wei Ba's retreat and surrounded him.
What can happen next to Chenshui? Wei Ba has a princess in his hands, or Pan Jun's daughter Pan Ziyu, can you still kill them all?
When Zhou Jun thought of this idea, he shivered. He knew that if it really came to that point, Zhou Yin might really be able to do it. This boy was ruthless and extremely courageous, and he didn't have a good impression of Princess Sun Luban.
It's not impossible for him to take advantage of this battle to kill her and then blame Wei Ba.
Alas, do you think our story is that trustworthy? If you really do something like this, there is no guarantee that someone will not be unjust and sue you in front of Sun Quan. By then, the Zhou family will be completely ruined.
.
Just when Zhou Jun was in a state of confusion, a scout rushed over: "General, a barbarian has been spotted ahead."
Zhou Jun was startled. Before he could think too much, the branches in the other direction moved violently, and a scout ran over panting. Zhou Jun was stunned, and before the scout could speak, he asked: "Did you also see the barbarian?
"
The scout was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Jun's heart suddenly picked up, and even the guards around him could hear his pounding heartbeat. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your
