Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 220 Throwing a Gun
Gaoshun camp.

As soon as it was daylight, the barracks was already noisy.

After getting off the fence of the camp, the master stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the east.

"Look, general!"

A small school pointed to the distance and shouted, "Duan Yao's army is here."

"Well, I saw it one morning."

Gao Shun nodded, and ordered: "Order the various ministries to perform their own duties, each to guard against danger, and not to act rashly."

"As ordered."

Long ago, the orderly promised, and he galloped away.

A few miles away, flags were flying, gold and daggers stood everywhere, and the breath of killing came.

In the huge barracks, groups of infantry were not in any disorder at all. Under the leadership of military academies at all levels, they were orderly sorting out their weapons, armors and supplies. , all eyes are burning hot.

Not long after, Duan Yao's army advanced one mile away.

Standing on the mountainside and looking down, you can already clearly see the wavy tassels.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke, which was the prelude to the outbreak of war.

Soon, Duan Yan's army quickly spread out to both sides, enclosing the foot of the mountain in a fan shape.

The [-] cavalry were on the sidelines, and the scouts galloped back and forth. The atmosphere became more and more dull and depressing, but the [-] veterans on the mountainside were not at all nervous.

In front of the formation of the army, there are many golden swords and flags flying.

Duan Yanrong is fully armored, standing on his horse, full of energy.

It's just that after looking at the terrain around him, those two eyebrows raised involuntarily and slightly frowned.

Not long after, a fast horse came galloping from afar.

The little colonel urged the horse to come forward, then reined in the horse, and said loudly: "General, there are ravines and ravines on both sides of the hillside, and the terrain is so steep that the army cannot launch a large-scale charge at all. Even if they can climb up, There are stone walls piled up on the top, and there are fence antlers, and Gaoshun only needs a few infantry to cause heavy casualties to our army."

Duan Yan's expression sank when he heard this, and he glanced at the hillside in front of him again, his brows furrowed instantly.

A general said loudly: "General, the arrow is on the string right now, so I have to attack. Since we can't attack from both sides, then go up from the front. Our army is several times that of Gao Shun. The last general will not believe it, and he will not be able to break through a mere cottage. .”

The rest of the generals also called for the battle one after another, and their fighting spirit was high for a while.

Duan Yan also knew that the arrow was on the string, so he had no choice but to shoot, after a moment of pondering, he said decisively: "Forget it, Liu Xing listens to the order."

"The end is here!"

Some generals rushed forward on horseback and stood by.

Duan Yan said loudly: "You can attack with [-] infantry, and you must pull out the first stronghold."

"The last will obey."

The general named Liu Xing responded with a bang, and quickly went down to order troops after receiving the arrow order.

Not long after, there was a shocking sound of war drums from behind.

Three thousand infantry rushed out quickly, and rushed to the first camp closest to the mountainside.

At the same time, on the halfway up the mountain, there was also the deafening sound of war drums rising into the sky.

Gao Shun caressed the fence, standing tall, with an astonishing fighting spirit in his eyes.

Amidst the cries of killing one after another, three thousand infantrymen, holding shields in one hand and sabers in the other, rushed up quickly under the leadership of military academies at all levels, their ferocious faces covered with cold murderous intent.

Gao Shun remained expressionless and remained motionless.

Rows of soldiers behind him stood silently, like wooden stakes, which were unmoved by the wind and rain.

Behind it, there are bundles of moso bamboos that have just sprouted buds.

On a mountain a few miles away, a large amount of moso bamboo grew. After Gao Shun found it, he ordered his army to cut down the bamboo forest. He almost cut down the bamboo forest, removed all the branches and leaves, and moved all the bamboo poles to the camp.

Suddenly, the pawns who were rushing up the hillside stepped into the air and fell down with an exclamation.

However, the next moment, the exclamation turned into a shrill scream.

Amidst the dust, a trench with a width of two feet was laid across the mountain road, and it was filled with sharpened antlers. Dozens of soldiers who fell into the trench were all pierced through their bodies. die.

Fortunately, he rushed from the bottom to the top, and immediately stopped his forward momentum.

If it was rushing from top to bottom, it would not be so easy to stop. At least half of the [-] pawns would fall into it.

Although it didn't cause much casualties to Duan Yao's soldiers, the trench blocked the way up the mountain.At the command of the captain of the commanding army, three thousand infantry immediately dug the mountain nearby, trying to fill up the trench.

Just then, on the hillside.

Gao Shun casually grabbed a sharpened bamboo pole beside him, stepped back a few steps, and then rushed forward, throwing it down forcefully with the momentum of the forward rush, then swung his arm violently, and shouted, " kill!"

"Quick, throw the bamboo spear!"

The little principal who had been waiting for a long time turned his eyes fiercely, and also yelled sharply.

The [-] light armored soldiers lined up behind the fence did not show any sudden expressions until this moment, and all of them looked uplifted. They quickly grabbed the bamboo spears beside them, and then imitated Gao Shun's way, stepped back a few steps, and slammed Forward.

Taking advantage of the forward momentum, he vigorously threw the sharpened bamboo spear down the mountain.

There are at least a hundred steps from here to the foot of the mountain. In normal times, unless it is a brave man like Xu Chu, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary soldier to throw the bamboo spear more than a hundred steps away even with the strength of milk.

No matter how light the bamboo is, there is no such possibility.

However, now, with the help of the steep hillside terrain, after the five hundred bamboo spears were released, they drew an arc and successfully passed through a distance of more than a hundred steps, landing at the head of Duan Yan's army who was digging and filling the ditch. superior.

"What the hell is this?"

Liu Xing was startled at first, but Jier turned pale with shock.

"Quick, hide!"

The hairs all over Liu Xing's body exploded, and he yelled loudly.

The soldiers who were digging immediately ran away in panic, looking for places to hide.

At this moment, the roaring bamboo spear has already pierced down hard.

ah ah ah...

Amidst the miserable howls, at least three hundred soldiers were pierced by the bamboo spears that fell from the sky.

Some were pierced through their vital organs, and died with just a scream.Some were pierced through the thighs, shoulder blades, abdomen and other parts that would not die immediately, and they would not die for a while, and they all lay on the ground and howled loudly.

Throwing this kind of bamboo spear for the first time, the accuracy of the soldiers is inevitably a bit poor.

Of the five hundred bamboo spears, only about one-third fell on the heads of Duan Yao's soldiers.The remaining two-thirds were either not thrown to the ground, or were thrown behind with too much force, and a small part was thrown sideways.

Even so, the lethality it caused was astonishing.

Although bamboo is light, its own weight is not comparable to that of bows and arrows.

A pole as thick as a baby's arm, no matter how light it is, weighs several kilograms. Its amazing penetrating power is stronger than that of a five-stone hard bow. Big fella.

Many soldiers squatted on the ground, and it was useless to raise wooden shields above their heads.

The bamboo spear fell down, pierced through the wooden shield without any suspense, and nailed the soldier to the ground alive.

And the unlucky ghost was strung together by a bamboo spear, like a grasshopper on a rope.

Just when there was a mess at the edge of the trench, another mass of black bamboo guns roared again.

Amidst the miserable howls, at least five hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood this time.

In the second shot, the five hundred soldiers had their heads chopped off quite a bit, and soon they were able to grasp a certain distance.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw!"

Liu Xing roared loudly, and quickly yelled loudly.

There was no way, I was really stunned by this sudden blow.

The lethality of these damned bamboo spears is really astonishing.

Although bows and arrows are the most commonly used long-range bow and arrow weapons, their lethality is limited after all. As long as they are not shot by strong bows and arrows at close range or in vital parts, even if they are injured, most soldiers can still survive.

But these damn bamboo spears are much more terrifying than bows and arrows.

All the pawns who were stabbed were either dead or disabled.Even if he won't be able to die for a while, and his limbs are pierced, he can only dodge the desperate wailing on the ground, unable to move at all, and can only wait for death.

Even if he escapes back by luck, he will be crippled, and he will never be able to go to the battlefield again in this life.

These are still secondary, the most terrible thing is the sudden psychological blow.

No one expected that Gao Shun would prepare a sharp weapon with such a huge lethality.

Under the sudden blow, the three thousand infantry had already panicked, and their morale had fallen to the bottom. How could they fight again.

Liu Xing almost gritted his teeth, and gave the order to retreat in a very humiliating manner.
