Chapter 355 Meeting on a narrow road

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Dong Zunhui led his troops to set up a wooden ladder and went into the thick smoke. He almost didn't fight much, as if he just went in to clean up the battlefield.

The Shu army suffered numerous casualties behind the fortress, and the rest were defeated.

Dong Zunhui led his troops to chase and kill a mile, easily seizing several defensive barriers of the Shu soldiers.

Upon hearing the news, Guo Shao led a group of troops to reinforce, while the people behind him rushed to build roads and fill trenches.

The smoke was very large, and Guo Shao could not see the situation clearly when he passed through the Shu army fortress, and there was no resistance anyway.

He thought it would be better if he didn't look at it, but this method was a bit of a loss of integrity... but it was indeed the fastest way, at least it could avoid greater casualties in his army.

It is said that Zhuge Liang did a fire-burning vine armored soldier too cruelly, which damaged his life, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

The smoke of gunpowder gradually became sparse when looking back, the thick smoke had already spread to the river surface, and a piece of white smoke was shrouded on the water surface, as if there was suddenly fog.

The sight of the river in the west was very light. Guo Shao walked for a while and could see a dark thing on the river from afar.

It's too far away and I look down on what it is, but there have been a long time ago that it was Suojiang Floating Bridge... the water defense line of the Shu army.

But Guo Shao did not plan to pay attention to the line of defense for the time being: as long as he occupied the shore, the pontoon bridge cannot float out of thin air on the river surface and not be washed away by the water.

There are still many Shu soldiers on the shore, and they are like long dragon formations on the roads on the shore.The Shu army has really deployed a lot of troops on this line.

They were temporarily rushing to repair fortifications in front, perhaps wanting to defend the Zhou army's advance step by step.

Dong Zunhui was not in a hurry to attack the established Shu army. He was rectifying the chaotic troops after the attack... Regardless of victory or defeat, it was not easy to redeploy the army into a front after the chaos.

Ask Dong Zunhui to come over.Guo Shao passed the order.

Soon, Dong Zunhui walked over with a dark face and said, "Uncle."

Guo Shao grabbed the wet towel on his shoulder, wiped his face, and encouraged him: You are doing a good job.

Dong Zunhui wiped his face and forehead, his facial features were straight, and he looked good.

He said: I did nothing and took the people all the way.The gunpowder is too powerful, but I always feel unhappy. There are Shu soldiers ahead who want to resist stubbornly, so my uncle asked me to continue to go!

If you go into battle, you will die. If you can win by taking a trip, you can also win.Guo Shao said, after he said that, he looked back at the first armor command he brought. Our troops are enough, so we don’t have to wait for you and those of you to rectify the formation and ask them to go back.You bring five hundred armored soldiers up there.

Dong Zunhui clasped his fists and said: Obey the order.

Guo Shao observed it and felt that there were no use in this place.After leaving room for traffic on the road by the river, only ten people walking along the widest place can be scattered side by side.

This kind of road, 500 people can form a 50-row team with a depth of 50 rows, and it is already a very thick formation.

Even if there are 100,000 troops, it has no effect, and there are only a few places in the battle line.

Elites are more useful here than the number of people.

Guo Shao asked to the side of the road, found a gentle slope on the mountain wall and climbed up, and asked the first command of the first army in the left wing to move forward.

This command is the most elite infantry, so only a few hundred pairs of plate armor are equipped with them.

All the members are young and strong, under 35 years old, all of whom are wide-breasted, thin waist, long legs and feet. Such men are the best physical strength, so they are elite soldiers... If they are not physically strong, they wear armor weighing forty or fifty kilograms and have to fight with weapons, they will probably not be able to walk without others beating them.

Zhou Tong led his men forward, and Dong Zunhui took the military power.

The powerful general named Zhang Jiankui who Guo Shao met a few days ago did not come. He was injured. Although he was slightly injured, he could not recover in a few days, and the injury would affect the battle.

...The two groups of people slowly approached between the mountains and rivers, and the Shu army was not afraid. The surrounding army here looked like a moving long dragon, and the square flag embroidered with a tiger in front swayed gently in the wind.

The noisy sound now felt a sense of loneliness, and the mountains on both sides were deserted.

The green mountains and clear waters are green, and the plate armor on the road is shining backwards, so I can see it clearly.

Although there are many people, there is no dust on the road; this place is different from the northern plains. On the road, it is hard soil and stones washed countless times by rainwater flowing from the mountains. The air in the river valley is also relatively moist and cannot get rid of dust.

Swish... Several arrows flew from the air and landed on the road ahead. The Shu army seemed to want to shoot.

But the Zhou army soldiers kept stopping, and they were still neatly approaching forward in a row, gradually narrowing the distance.

The heavy armored soldiers walked slowly, but their momentum was very stable, as if nothing could stop them.

Soon, the Zhou army vanguard entered the farthest range of the bow and arrow, and the arrow flew from the air into the Zhou army's ranks. Only the sound of tinging metal hitting was heard, as if the sound of hail falling on the tile.

These arrows that were shot at least seventy or eighty steps away could not hurt them at all. Most of them fell from it and could only hit the helmets and shoulder armor. These parts were exactly where the wrought iron plate armor and chain armor were double-layered protection, and the arrows were bounced away one after another.

Soon it was within fifty steps, and the Zhou army still did not charge in such a close place, and maintained its speed and was steadily close.

The heavy footsteps and the exquisite armor were shining with cold light, and the momentum was very stressful; it seemed as if the executioner slowly and calmly wiping the blade before the execution, gradually putting pressure on the soldiers of the Shu army.

Papa... The string sound continued to sound, and a row of Shu army had already shot with crossbows in front of him, but still could not shoot through Zhou army's breastplate.

The Zhou army soldiers did not even have shields. The front rows were filled with crossbows, and the back was bows and arrows, and only were short weapons.

But they did not fight back and kept carrying the rain of arrows from the Shu army.

Dong Zunhui behind him became excited, and this sense of power made him inexplicably excited.

Dong Zunhui had four long sabers tied on his back, a sword around his waist, and a bow in his hand. He looked like he was covered with weapons, but at this time he could only walk, and a horse occupied several places where a horse could not run away; a big target that was equally still could only live targets, without any benefit.

More than twenty steps, arrows were inserted into the chest of the Zhou soldiers in the first row in front. Someone might have been injured, but the only one who killed them was the Shu soldiers crossbowmen who shot flat in the first row, and the arrows shot were still useless to them.

The two sides were about twenty steps apart, and they could see clearly what they looked like and what actions they were doing when dealing with the Shu soldiers.

The Shu soldiers' expression was nervous and panicked, and they looked at the strange heavy armor here with a blank look. There was no other way to continue shooting with the crossbow.

The long-term pressure has caused the Shu soldiers' camp to show signs of instability, but the Zhou army has not yet launched a single arrow.

The people on the opposite side watched a clear tiger flag floating.At this moment, Zhou Tong, the commander of the front camp, shouted: Get ready.

Suddenly, the first row in front of Zhou Jun squatted down, the second row knelt on one knee, and the third row stood, preparing crossbows; the people behind him picked up bows and arrows.

Shoot the arrow!Zhou Tong shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the arrows shot out in unison like a heavy rain. Three rows of crossbow arrows were shot into the Sichuan camp quickly, but the bows and arrows in the air were still flying.

AhAh… The screams were filled with an uproar.

Any army would put some soldiers with excellent armor in front, but the Shu army's ring-lock armor could not block the violent flat shooting at a distance of more than twenty steps. The arrows would pierce the armor as soon as they flew in, and one shot was accurate. The first row in front was shot by three rows of crossbows, and ten Shu soldiers were all shot, killing and injured.

Shoot the arrow!Zhou Tong's voice shouted again.The soldiers calmly pulled the bowstrings.

At this time, the Shu army did not even have the power to fight back, and the string sounded like a loud bang, and the Zhou army's crossbows were very rhythmic, and they were launched with intensive attacks every time.

The front row of Shu soldiers was like harvested rice, falling in rows, and the back was continuously killed by the thrown bows and arrows.

What army could withstand such casualties? The vanguard of the Shu army immediately collapsed, turned around and ran backward, and the camp in front dispersed.

With a clang, a soldier held a bronze hat-like gong in each hand and slapped it in the middle. The square tiger flag in the front was placed flat.

The entire combat of the army is full of neat rhythm and orderly like a skill.

kill!Dong Zunhui shouted from behind.

The Zhou army soldiers had already collected their crossbows, picked up their short weapons and rushed forward.

The Shu army was scrambling to squeeze back, and there was no place to fight.

When the Zhou army soldiers came up again, the scene became very ugly for a moment.
