Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 634
Thousands of horses are galloping, shaped like a black tide, at the beginning it was just a line, and suddenly it grows into a bunch, the horseshoes gallop, stepping on the ground like thunder, like a torrent, like a sharp knife, it splits people's vision in a very short period of time, and in the eyes only There is nothing left of the knight who gallops his horse and leans over to pluck the strings!
Shen Zhezi stood behind the rammed stone wall, looking at the galloping cavalry ahead, his palms were slightly damp, and his mouth was faintly dry.In fact, he has never seen a real horse charge. Although he has done enough psychological construction before, when he actually witnessed it, he still couldn't help being nervous, and his heart fluttered.

Regardless of the lethality and maneuverability of the established cavalry charge, the visual impact and the huge psychological pressure caused cannot be ignored.Although the crowd is still far away, Shen Zhezi can't help but hold the knife in his hand frequently and adjust his standing posture on the spot to offset the increasingly tense heartstrings, which are getting faster and faster as the sound of horseshoes approaches. .

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the two sides beside him, all of them were veterans under Lu Yong's command.It can be seen that these people are not lacking in tension. The knuckles of the shield holders and guns in the front row are faintly white, and the bow holders are also frequently flicking their fingers to relieve slightly stiff muscles.

Although there are these small movements, these people have no major changes. They are like sculptures, their lips are tightly pressed, and they are looking straight at the battle formation on the opposite side of the trench.

The sound of horseshoes on the opposite side was like spring thunder, but there was silence in the trench. If you pay attention, you could even hear the sound of boiling blood hitting the blood vessels!

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and Shen Zhezi could even clearly see the jumping trajectories of the armor plates of the knights rushing forward as the horses rose and fell, as well as the looming ferocious faces behind the flying mane!

bang bang...

It's not the heartstrings, but the bowstrings. The bows and arrows on the horse's back are shot out in an instant, and countless life-threatening lines are suddenly shot!

Shen Zhezi retreated sideways subconsciously, and when he looked to the left and right, he saw that although the soldiers were still making small movements, their legs seemed to be rooted, and their shoulders and backs were still motionless, all of them seemed to turn a blind eye to the deadly flying arrow.

Without turning around, there was a rush of raindrops and hailstones outside the battlement wall. The wave of arrows either fell into the trench in front of the formation, or was inserted into the battlement wall, and occasionally the wind was used to fly over the battlement wall, and then Then he was knocked into the air by the big shield, and no longer has the slightest lethality!

After a wave of shooting, before he breathed a sigh of relief, the eardrums vibrated again, and the loud drum sound rushed into his ears in an instant.Then Shen Zhezi heard the sound of pods exploding on the left and right, and the soldiers behind the pile of walls turned from static to dynamic, shoulders and elbows moved in unison, breathing three times, and then turned back, and the soldiers on standby had already stepped forward Step forward to fill in the position.

The rain of arrows was intertwined in this area, and the sound of arrows could be heard endlessly, but behind the pile of walls, there was a cruel calm and methodical.As the cavalry approached, casualties began to appear in the battlements. Disorderly arrows crackled and fell overhead. Those who were hit by the arrows retreated with their shields, and those on standby strode forward. The front line did not waver at all!

Feeling the atmosphere for a moment in front of the formation, Shen Zhezi also retreated and climbed onto the earthen platform of the second formation. Looking down from this point, he could see the fine-tuning of the front formation and the charging and sweeping of the cavalry formation on the opposite side.From this point of view, there is a little less thrilling tension, and more calmness that takes care of the overall situation.

After a charge, the enemy cavalry failed to cross the ditch under the sniping arrow rain, and turned to the left flank before the formation.

During this process, many knights fell from the arrows, and some were directly hit by the galloping horses, and then trampled to the ground, bursting out a flower of blood.Some of them were lucky, curled their hands and feet slightly, grabbed the rope that flashed past the corner of their eyes, jumped on the horseback again, and rode forward with their comrades!

The rain of arrows followed behind the pile of walls like a shadow, following the knights' charging route. Although there was no lack of damage to each other during this process, the overall damage was not too big.After this round of impact and swipe, the knights began to retreat, gathering the whole team on the left side of the river.

However, the fighting did not stop. The sword and shield phalanx in the opposite camp marched out. Although the speed was farther than that of the cavalry formation, they soon came to the front of the trench.The two sides fired at each other, and the prunings that fell in the area two bursts ago spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The soldiers in the battle wall began to adjust, and the two wings shrank to concentrate on attacking the sword and shield array that was charging forward.After a particularly violent rain of arrows, the enemy's casualties increased sharply, and the corpses piled up, but they did not retreat. The follow-up continued to surge up, and began to eat away at the front trenches little by little, wrapping them with earth and corpses. filling!

The frontal pressure continued to increase, and the troops gradually shrank. The cavalry on the left wing, which had already formed a team, charged up again.Because of the lack of arrow rain's sniper attack, this time the charge was extremely smooth, and some cavalry even crossed the first ditch, but soon the reserve team came into battle again, and the arrows shot dozens of knights who were at the forefront of the charge. In the front line!
The battle continued at this pace for nearly an hour. The front of the first ditch had already been eroded by nearly half, and the ability to stop the enemy was greatly reduced. More and more soldiers crossed this ditch and appeared in the front line.Shen Zhezi signaled his soldiers to hang the white vetch up, and the boats cruising on the river suddenly turned to break through the embankment surrounded by bamboo fences and soil, and the river surged into the trench, filling it up in an instant!

There were still a large number of enemy soldiers climbing desperately in the trench, and they were soon swept up by the river!At the same time, hundreds of soldiers in the front line climbed over the stacked walls, raised their shields and held guns to kill the enemy soldiers who came to the front line but were powerless!
After this formation, the enemy camp began to withdraw their troops, and the army slowly retreated several miles away, facing this camp far away.The originally tragic fighting came to an end, and the two armies collected the wounded and rectified the battalions.

Shen Zhezi also got off the earthen platform, and the battalion commanders led their soldiers into the front line, took care of the wounded, and climbed over the wall to clean up the arrows left in front of the line.However, at this moment, the cavalry of the opponent's army suddenly galloped out again, and the two sides clashed again with a rain of arrows.

At the same time, a cruising boat on Tushui came to report that the enemy's rear battalion was being put on the Mujiang River and began to swim.The camp that had calmed down a little bit became active again, and the Shengwu army Tian Jing, who had already been waiting for the battle, led the crowd boarded the boat and rushed up, halfway to attack them!
However, this time the enemy army was particularly tenacious. They swam halfway through the rain of arrows and almost climbed to the side of the ship. It was only under the attack of Shen Yun's reinforcements that they repelled this round of swimming.

tough day!The battle started suddenly and stopped suddenly.Because they set up a defensive formation, the rhythm of the battle throughout the day was always under the control of the opponent, either charging forward with swords and shields, or charging violently on horseback, swimming, and sometimes attacking from the flanks.Shen Zhezi's troops have always been passive. Although thanks to adequate preparations in advance, the battle formation has not suffered major losses, but after defending for a whole day, everyone from the commander to the soldiers is very tired.

After night fell, the consumption of the whole day's battle was also preliminarily sorted out. The arrows were the most consumed. In order to avoid hand-to-hand combat, only bows and crossbows were used to suppress them. More than 3 arrows were consumed in a whole day!What makes people speechless is that the one who consumes the most is not Lu Yongjun who is in the front line, but the new recruit of the Shengwu Army who is responsible for the containment of the river.

The performance of these soldiers today is pretty good, at least there is no chaos, and all the sniper attacks have been completed.But the arrows are not sprayed at will like money. Today, 2000 people participated in the battle, and each person sent more than five arrows on average.

The generals met in the evening, and this statistic was put on the table, and the generals were speechless.Even if the recruits are high-quality and have high morale, they have to admit that they are far inferior to the old soldiers in terms of grasping the rhythm of the battle.Every minute of teasing, they have to counterattack with ten percent, and in the end, in the evening, everyone is exhausted!

In the face of Hu Run, Shen Yun and the others, Shen Zhezi was not polite, and directly reprimanded Lu Yongjun.Jiagong is also an extension of the Jiatian Order, and a Jiagong is a one-year salary for a soldier. Although there is no farmland in Huaiyou right now, Liyang is already quite large.Victory is instant food, no delay and no arrears!

At first, he was very eager to fight, but in the end when he really fought, it was his own unit that performed poorly.It is conceivable that Hu Run, Shen Yun and others were in a bad mood, and they immediately called for a night attack.Shen Zhezi agreed after pondering for a while, that a one-day confrontation with Huang Quan's troops can be said to have taught them a vivid lesson, and Huang Quan is only a partial division of Jiehu's brigade. One can imagine.

Now they are beaten blindly, regardless of the results of the battle, at least their morale is difficult to maintain.Occupying waterways is one of their few advantages, and it would be a good thing if they could gain some initiative in this regard.

Not long after the night meal, Hu Run and the others were still preparing troops to attack the camp, when there was a sudden movement in the opposite army formation.Thousands of torches are raised together, and they want to directly engage in night battles!
"Night attack as usual!"

Facing Hu Run's request for instructions in a hurry, Shen Zhezi decided after thinking for a while, not only that, but also doubled the originally prepared troops.

After fighting during the day, he admitted that he was indeed not as good as Huang Quan, a long-fighting warrior like Huang Quan, but he knew very well that the Jienu soldiers were brave and brave, but they were definitely not heavenly soldiers and generals. Staying in Hefei is a great drain on physical strength, and it is absolutely difficult to ensure sufficient combat power to support continuous high-intensity battles day and night.

Sure enough, shortly after Hurun's troops set off, Lu Yong sent people to report that the front line was a feint.But I did not forget to remind Shen Zhezi that a feint attack can turn into an actual attack at any time, so don't take it lightly.So Shen Zhezi still led the reinforcements and waited behind the first front line, and it really was another night of falsehood!
As the dawn breaks, fireworks suddenly go up in the sky at the back of Jie Nu!The Jiehu camp, which had retreated and rectified, suddenly became restless, and there was an uproar!
"The cavalry is saddled and armored, ready to attack!"

Shen Zhezi looked away for a moment, and then quickly gave an order.After being on standby for a long time, Shen Mu, who was already impatient, immediately sent an order to his troops to lead the horses in the camp!
And Shen Zhezi also jumped off the earthen platform, ripped off the plate armor on his body, and signaled his personal guards to bring scale armor to put on, ready to attack together!
"My lord..."

Lu Yong, who had withdrawn from the first front line, came in a hurry and saw that Shen Zhezi had got on his horse, stepped forward and grabbed the rein and shouted, "The last general begs to go out with the army!"

Shen Zhezi naturally understands that Lu Yong is worried that Jie Nu is pretending to lure the enemy, but it is not good to openly disobey the decision of the general.But after hearing the sound, he just bent down and patted the back of Lu Yong's hand, and said with a smile: "General Lu fought hard day and night, and he worked hard! Guard the camp and wait for the victor to turn around!"

He will not be blindly confident, nor will he blindly exaggerate his opponents. Huang Quan has been working so hard to run away. It is indeed beyond his expectations, but it must be beyond his expectations to meet him here.Although it seems that Jiehu has taken the initiative in this day and night battle and has been mastering the rhythm of the battle, but the frequent attacks of Laoshi also shows a problem, Huang Quan is already confused!

Fighting fiercely day and night, Huang Quan has already invested thousands of troops. If at this moment he can still form a pretentiously chaotic formation to lure the enemy, orderly in chaos, then he is no longer good at fighting, but simply a genius with a halo!
