Chapter 573 Tiger's Mouth (Three)

5days ago traverse Novels 2
After the gunpowder exploded, a large cloud of thick smoke seemed to fall from the sky. Rolling smoke and dust enveloped the city walls, and the clouds slowly spread upward and around in the wind.

The horses in front of the Zhou army camp hundreds of steps away were panicked and the camp was in turmoil.

The world is surrounded by rumbling echoes and shock.

After a while, drums were heard in the Zhou army camp, and a somewhat messy horse team couldn't wait to rush out of the front line and rushed forward... As for the situation after the gunpowder buried underground exploded, no one knew that the smoke was too thick.

Zhou Jun did not approach the explosion site in advance. One might expose the location, and the other was that he was afraid of hurting his own people by chance.

The huge explosion panicked the horses and rushed out first to get out of the chaotic team of the forwards, which seemed a little hasty and impatient, because every blink of an eye at this time was too important!

A little delay will give the defenders more time to prepare.

The big players in the camp are reorganizing the queue, and there are noises of shouting and shouting.

It would be useless to rush over too many people in a hurry. Before the war, the central army judged that the gap would not be too big, and no matter how many people approached in the early stage, they would not be able to use it.

Guo Shao stood on the horse pressing his sword, watching the situation with the people around him.

The camp was in turmoil, with drums and shouts endlessly, and flags were floating in the sea of ​​people; two people, far apart, had already rushed towards their respective targets!

The scene was tense and chaotic, but it was in order in chaos, and each commander was doing his own thing.The shouts of soldiers and the shouts of military generals made the atmosphere in the vast land outside the city urgent.

The moment before the sharp conflict, the atmosphere was the most tense.Guo Shao did nothing at this moment, and said nothing, silently paying attention to every subtle atmosphere around him.

The grand scene is not something that someone can control when it breaks out. It is like a wild horse running wildly in the direction it should!

But at the beginning, Guo Shao took the initiative, and from premeditation to timing was at the center, as if the point and rules before the explosion of the universe originated from the Creator.

Guo Shao knew that many people would die in his decisions, and many families would change their destiny.

He stared at the crowd that had already approached the city wall, and said silently in his heart: As long as it is war, people will die, and it is all worth it!

...The depth of the explosion of smoke, the light was dimmed, as if it had rushed into the dark cloudy dusk.

But the sunlight in the sky penetrates the thick smoke like an arrow, proving the truth about the blue sky and white sun at this time.

The visibility is relatively low, and the horse's running speed gradually slows down.The person in front of him covered his mouth and nose with his hands, breathing carefully, but he still coughed.

A dark shadow came into people's sight. In the middle of the neat shadows of the city wall, a gap that was only about six or seven steps wide appeared in front of them.

In fact, it is not a gap, but a pile of ruins-like earthen mountains, very high!

But that section of the city wall has indeed collapsed. The city wall, thick stone foundation and rammed earth, which is more than ten steps thick, cannot be blown up, but collapsed downwards, and most of the earth and stones are piled up in their original location.

The horses in front had already rushed to the ruins, and the war horses stopped going. The entire team seemed to have flooded to the barriers, all blocked.The progress of the sharp edge came to an abrupt end!

The commander then saw the situation clearly, and he immediately shouted: Send the order, stop the horse, dismount and get the weapons!

There is no way out when riding a horse, so of course you have to dismount; so the commander immediately issued a military order without thinking, which is not redundant.

At this moment, people have a thorn in their hearts and their performance is not as calm and clever as usual. Most people rely on instinctive reactions and their minds are confused... This is how it is for a long time when the commander is a small pawn and a low-level general, and he has experienced a lot.

At this time, as soon as the generals who are familiar with are issuing orders and following the thousands of trainings to obey military orders, everyone will follow the orders of the top without thinking; everyone knows what they are going to do, and they will not be confused!

Sure enough, everyone dismounted and prepared weapons, and no one ran around.

The commander thought nervously and anxiously.In fact, he was a little confused... but he couldn't feel dizzy!

He remembered the military order that the Central Army asked him to repeat: First, try to send troops into the city, and secondly, stabilize the position and open the gap.For other actions, the commander has the right to make decisions on the spot!

The commander dared not hesitate. Even if it was not the best military order, it was better than saying nothing.

At this moment, his words are the military orders that everyone must comply with. One person has the final say. Only when he dies will he have the position to speak!

Rush up!Anyone who retreats can kill you!The commander shouted.

kill!Kill... The person in front suddenly shouted and climbed up the mound of soil desperately.

But soon they found that the heads were shaking in the smoke, and the Northern Han army had already surged up... Obviously, the Northern Han army was prepared for the bombing of the city. The Zhou army rode a horse for hundreds of steps, and the Northern Han army had enough time to reinforce as long as they were prepared.

First, many spears stabbed downwards, soldiers stabbed backwards and forwards with force. A large number of people dived from the top, and some even rolled down.

The Zhou army was holding shields and one-handed weapons in front, including single swords, hooks, hammers, etc., which could not stop the spearmen from diving.

For a moment, the iron spear first attacked the Zhou army soldiers, and the place where the close soldiers were junction sounded.

However, the Northern Han army did not seek good things as soon as they swooped down. After they swept down, their formation was in chaos and their feet stumbled. Many people directly crashed into the depths of the Zhou army's crowd, almost turning into a single-soldier melee.

At the point of contact, the Zhou army fought with more and less, and many people surrounded a Northern Han army soldier and smashed and chopped.

Ah!Ah... A scream suddenly sounded on the mound.The splashing blood was covered by thick smoke.

People rushed up the dirt slope as if they were struggling in the mud, and the people behind them shouted and killed Ah!Those who retreat will be killed...

The soldiers of Zhou army shouted loudly and rushed towards the Northern Han army. The sword and shield were relatively short, so they could not attack the Northern Han army without taking the initiative.

The person in front of him held up a shield and waved his sword to slash. He didn't know what he had cut, but he could only hear the screams of his parents crying.

The Zhou soldiers were also screaming, it was difficult to move on the ground, and there were people around him, so they could not avoid it at all. They could only use their torso to hit him, and a shield could not stop many attacks.

The head of the iron spear was pierced on the plate armor, most of which did not pierce, but it would pierce the iron armor deeply sunken, causing the Zhou soldiers to scream. In addition, everyone was actually full of fear in their hearts, and the shouting was even more wailing!

If the weapon is tampered with force and is very strong, it will slide over the iron armor. In the dim and turbid air, sparks will indeed shine; the sound of metal rubbing against the friction makes the powerful teeth soft!

An injured Zhou army soldier fell to the ground with weak hands and feet, and was immediately trampled on by all kinds of feet. The pain made him shout desperately, but he couldn't get up. He was stepping on a human armor for about 200 pounds, so it was difficult to stand up again.

Fight to the last drop of blood!Fall down means death!A ten general yelled loudly.

The gap was only six or seven steps wide, and there were 500 people in Zhou soldiers who were the first to approach. In addition, the climbing road was extremely difficult to move, and the advancement was blocked by the Northern Han army, which soon caused congestion; the gap was increasingly dense.

At this moment, I could hear a whoosh... A straight sound, the arrows in the air shot down like raindrops, and then ding and ding-down like hail, and a scream of pain came from time to time.

The team on the Zhou army was a little confused. The commander raised his head and shouted: Bow and arrow... Before he finished speaking, a branch suddenly flew from the smoke and shot a layer of chain mail on his neck with a clang. The force was so strong that the iron rings penetrated into his neck!

The commander didn't even scream, and his eyes were wide open and he fell down. Blood in his mouth came out with spit.

General Li!General Li... The generals and personal soldiers around him rushed up to help him up.

The commander's foot kicked on the ground a few times, and the upper deputy commander Zheng Bin appeared, covering the commander's neck with his hands.

The commander held the scabbard tightly and raised his hand.

Deputy Commander Zheng Bin hurriedly grabbed his scabbard and asked anxiously: Is General Li going to hand over the military power to me?

The commander closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and let go of his hand holding the sword.

Zheng Bin took the sword, gritted his teeth and looked at the person who was being held on his upper body, stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly: Commander General Li, please let me control my commander, Deputy Commander Zheng Bin!

Zheng Bin clenched his fists and frowned, completely ignoring the flying arrows on his head. After a moment, he said loudly: Send the order!Do not retreat in front of the formation; those who follow five steps in the formation should immediately repair the attack ramp!

He continued to order: Below the hillside, the generals of the various troops drove the soldiers to move out of the way to rectify the formation!Archers gather in the center!

At the close contact of the front, people probably couldn't control the orders of the ups and downs. The soldiers in front and behind were crowded together, and the two sides fought desperately to death, and there was no way out or retreat behind!

There was a Shura field there, and people were screaming very fiercely.

But the troops who did not fight later reorganized their queues and gradually restored order. The battle began to stalemate, and they could no longer make any breakthroughs based on morale; at this time, organization and tactics were particularly important.

In the distance, another Zhou army team was jogging up with reinforcements. The reinforcements were no longer messing around. Although they were riding horses, they were indeed clearly lined up and advanced in an organized manner.

Currently, a group of heavy armored soldiers guarding the great men are not just commanders, but commanders of the Sixth Army in the right wing.

The general took the battle himself, and he needed to go to the front line to supervise the battle and maintain order in front of the battle.

The Northern Han army gradually came to their senses, collapsed on both sides of the gap, and a large number of troops were reinforced on the city wall. They reached the top of the gap, and shot from above the arrows, wood and stones, and threw dense Zhou soldiers and horses.

The Zhou army's vanguard was attacked from three sides, but he still did not collapse and continued to restore the organization.

The elite troops' ability to withstand pressure is gradually more prominent than that of ordinary troops.
