On the banks of the river rushing down from the deep gorge, the flying stones scattered and bombarded the camp of the Southern Jing Army, arousing one after another noisy and shouting, as well as the screams that were concealed in a flash. sound.
However, most of the officers and soldiers continued to maintain the formation and array after the fence and the refusal to the sound of the command of the drum. They slowly advanced under the steep mountain wall in the distance and came to the Qingqi men and horses. White feathers in the sky came in dense rounds.
Amidst the intensive and small noise of the rain, Wang Jian, who has been promoted to a long fire, is also in a seldom fluctuating mood. He is holding a row of white feathers and trembling obliquely upward; he walks in an orderly manner in the front row Among them, he whispered to the left and right over and over again:
"Stay steady...Stay steady..."
"Stay steady... Aligned left and right..."
"Don't breathe, watch your feet,"
"Don't be too stiff and force..."
"Don't panic and don't pause... Go. Go. Go..."
Although from time to time someone was shot by the missed arrow, groaned or fell to the ground with anguish, but as long as they were able to move, they would follow the training habit and try to curl up and allow their companions to step over. The assistant soldiers in the next array were dragged aside for containment and treatment.
"Don't worry,"
Wang Jian's encouraging words were suddenly interrupted by a force that hit him hard on his chest and abdomen, and he continued with a grinning voice in the severe pain. If it had been a few years ago, he might hum and scream involuntarily and stop.
But now after a long time of eating and drinking, he has cultivated physique and endurance; and he has no time to think and sleeps with fatigue and exercise; he has been called discipline and tenacity. The things were carved into the bones of his instinctive reaction.
At this moment, he did not even look at the dampness of the arrow nailed on his body and the lining of the armor slowly fading away, but he forcibly resisted the left and right and continued to say in a deep voice:
"Be optimistic about the front, and believe in the shield and armor in your hand..."
Therefore, they held up their hands and rows full of fluttering arrows and fluttering in the wind, against the seemingly long rounds of projectiles, and advanced until the feathers on the official helmets were clearly visible within twenty or thirty steps. .
These seemingly unmoving Taiping army formations suddenly broke out with a fierce whistle, neatly like a rewinding wave, racing to drop the wide and long horizontal rows, raise the swords and spears, and become countless trotting accelerations. A sprint forward.
In an instant, they knocked over, overturned, dissected, and filled in. The outer barriers and trenches laid by the official camp, and they rushed into the fence that was enough to meet with each other. However, the knife and spearman in the front row suddenly stopped and crouched flat with his weapon flat.
What was revealed after that was a row of crossbowmen who followed closely. They trot and rushed while struggling to press the arrow in their hands; howling like the wind, they spit out a series of tailless short arrows, and then they leaned out of them. The officers and soldiers who were preparing for the battle blew up and shot to the ground in a hurry.
And the whistle sounded when they swiftly fired the second arrow box, the spear shafts in the front row crouched up swiftly and slammed through the gap of the fence, turning those into disability. The officers and soldiers leaning behind were stabbed and stabbed to the ground.
Then, with the skillful and fully clothed sword players, they stepped on their shoulders and backs that were placed between the fences, leaping over this simple obstacle and culling among the deadly wounded officers and soldiers. Fight and fight with it.
At this time, the short-armored crossbowmen who dropped the crossbow in pieces also drew out the swords and axes they carried, and filled them into the array of spearmen. The wooden fences were slashed and torn apart to a size large enough to allow people to penetrate. The gap comes.
At the same time, at the inward extension of the official army camp, the array of archers exposed because of the first attack also began to be pushed into the Taiping Army's shooting team. The shooting team of the Taiping Army made a concentrated fire afterwards, and quickly rumbled amidst the screams. Come.
At this time, the fire chief Wang Jian, who was parked behind the fence, had the intention to sit down on the muddy ground, lifted up his armor like the other wounded, and checked the position of his arrow; then he was slightly relieved.
Although the center of the arrow is under the left chest, the double-layered armor and half-length leather armor equipped with the lead veteran prevent the deflection of the long-range arrow from penetrating deep. The more troublesome thing is the barb on the arrow, once you want to take it out, it will tear a big mouth in the flesh.
Therefore, amidst the shouting of killing and shaking the sky, he still had room to remove the outer armor of the body, drew a knife and cut off the exposed arrow shaft, and then tore a piece of Jinchuang plaster made with Lingnan Baiyao and isinglass. , After poking the hole, press firmly on the arrow wound; immediately feel a lot more comfortable.
Only then did he stand up with his hand card, only to hold a card with a light armor half-length leather armor and a knife, and joined the more subsequent waves of Taiping soldiers who rushed into it. There were also a dozen soldiers who were left behind and lagging behind, relying on the signs on each other's armor to form a new battle group.
At the same time, the drum horns of the army's rear battlefield also changed.
"The attack is like a surge, bursting out suddenly? It really is the peaceful thief's warfare that is more like an official army... But it's been a long time..."
Watching and commanding the battle on the high platform, the gray-haired Jingnan Jiedu made Song Hao also amazed.
"However, if this generation's skills stop here, then it would be nothing more than that... Blew the trumpet and waved the flag, and let Zhongwu and the right step forward to stabilize the position. Although there has never been a decent opponent in the Xiajiang area, but it is It’s too weak and embarrassing to take the defensive position of the offensive, just to get into the battle but be impulsive for a while..."
However, under Song Hao's cynicism, the generals who came from the Xiajiang prefectures were silent and did not even dare to express themselves. Because they have also experienced the harsh methods of this Song Jieshuai besides using soldiers.
As the flags of the white flying birds of the Southern Jing Army swayed, an elite man and horse that had already been fully equipped and fully draped, like a flowing mercury, swept across the gap formed by those camps and carriages.
Directly under the squeeze and pressure of their neatly wielding knives and guns, the ruined officers and soldiers who rushed back in the midst of retreat were like waves shot on the cliff in the river, and they were intercepted one after another. After he got down, he turned his head back involuntarily, fighting with the enemy army that was pressing in every step of the way.
At this time, there was another Jingnan army that had been in force for a long time. Amidst the order and order, it bypassed the fighting battle formation along the riverside, and slammed into it from the side, those who were in the camp. The Taiping Army was spreading out in a large-scale fight.
However, Song Hao was a little disappointed; these peaceful thieves who were supposed to be the end of the crossbow did not collapse and disperse because of this; even the chaos and vacillation that should have existed did not last long; on the contrary, it was. After being squeezed and shrunk a large part of the front line, there was still room to withstand the official army's two-line counterattack.
"Where are the shooting camp and the flying owl team, kill the thief with me..."
He raised his brows and ordered again.
"Telling..."
"Good-looking, our people are good..."
Someone yelled anxiously in the neighborhood, and then was stopped by others and pressed Nai down.
After a while, the archers of the official army who retreated to the back and regrouped, once again bowed upward toward their camp, and ran in a curve and shot countless arrows, covering and drowning the enemy and ourselves who were fighting each other.
Although they were soon suppressed and covered by the Taiping Archers on the opposite side, they were again killed and wounded, and screamed and screamed. In the first moment of their preemptive action, right in the middle of the fiercest battlefield, they created a large, bloody mottle that dented.
However, Song Hao was obviously not satisfied with this. With the general flag waving next to him again, and the sound of the trumpets that were filled with sulfur bamboo joints on fire, the land in the battlefield was transformed and regenerated.
Like the screams of the mountain shaking, it suddenly rang out from a small, inconspicuous rift that shaded by trees on the side of the mountain wall, sparkling with the swaggering Xu Lin banner and the shaking armour. , Like a sharp dagger pierced through the waist, suddenly rushed into the back of the peace thief on the battlefield.
This is Song Hao’s final assassin arrangement; because this is a relatively long and narrow battlefield that neither the enemy nor we can fully expand, this is the place where he gave up the benefits of the original city defense and deliberately chose to fight; there are such things. Naturally sheltered ambushes, there are also chaotic times far away from the raids on the river.
Now, it can be fully used. I saw that the peaceful thieves were continuously pressing on the front line, as if they were cut off from the normal tofu; letting this new force that suddenly sprinted out and cooperated with each other, it seemed like a rampage. Continue to disperse and break through.
"The so-called peace thief is nothing more than that..."
"Jie Shuai, please also mobilize the whole army to sweep the acupoints with thunder..."
And beside Song Hao, there was a call for a fight.
However, he couldn't help but hesitate, because of the tenacity and fierce battle of these peaceful thieves, he had a deep understanding of the battle of Jingzhou. The thief army that was ambushed and attacked this time, but it was in a hidden and undisrupted formation, which made him feel that he was not doing his best.
However, without waiting for him to think, he heard the warning sound in the other direction. But it was the warships of the peaceful thieves on the river, who already did not know when they reached the shore.
I saw these weirdly-shaped big river boats, while sending out artillery stones and arrows to attack the camp of the Southern Jing Army, while also putting down many swaying boats, it was a situation of forcibly crossing the rocky beach and landing at any cost.
"Pass my order..."
These he shouted loudly without any hesitation anymore:
"After dispatching Zhongmu, both belonged to the Yabing soldiers, and at the same time, they withdrew to the shore to defend the Zhongmu Zuodu and the Unity soldiers, and followed me to kill all the thieves in front of me..."
Suddenly, the official army deployed the camp on the river bank plains, as if they were completely awakened by the general voice of the general public. They stepped over and trampled on these camps and objects from all directions, and rushed to the enemies in the camp. .
At this moment, on the earth fort built by the Taiping Army, Sima Fuzhou, who was lucky enough to escape, yielded, staring at the army lineup that was getting closer and closer, and snapped his fingers in between panic and horror. Palm; because he has heard of what happened to most scholars and people after the city was broken.
"Could it be that I am unable to avenge my death in the whole city of Fuzhou..."
Then, he suddenly heard the faint thunder, and couldn't help but raise his head and look over the river. Then I saw the battleships lined up on the big river, shrouded in faint gray smoke.
On the other hand, the reorganized officers and soldiers on the shore rushed away amidst some kind of noise and howling; and the thunder on the river seemed to be just a beginning and a sign.
Afterwards, there were more roars and rising smoke and dust, and the regiments bloomed one by one in the array that the officers and soldiers attacked and killed; before the submission line could react, there was another earth-shaking burst. The roar and trembling sound burst apart not far from him, and almost knocked him to the ground.
Suddenly, there was some unsteady obedience, and only had time to see the Taiping Army hitting the base. After that, one after another burst of smoke and dark red flames, concealing the carriages, horses and people during the period.
Then, the officers and soldiers approaching as if they were smashing the momentum were as if they were being beaten and slammed into the air out of thin air. Suddenly, the people turned their backs on their horses to become fragmented and smashed into pieces, revealing a lot. A bloody gap came. (End of this chapter)
