Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 264 The Battle of Wenshui River

"Follow me down the mountain to attack the enemy! I'm going to kill Wei Yan!" Tong Xiong shouted.

A thousand knights responded loudly: "May I follow the leader to promote my reputation as a giant wild knight!"

"kill!!"

Tong Xiong led a thousand warriors from Qinglong Mountain to rush to the rear of Wei Yanjun!

"Wu Hao! The speed is 2000 people blocking the enemy, we can't be dragged here by the enemy, otherwise we will lose today!" Wei Yan shouted.

Wu Hao nodded vigorously, waved the flag in his hand, and pointed at the enemy soldiers rushing down from Qinglong Mountain, "All the soldiers follow me to meet the enemy!"

Feng Yaojun, Guishan Dazhai
Seeing Wei Yan's army rushing towards him, Feng Yao immediately gave orders loudly.

"All troops attack!"

In an instant, two thousand archers near the river bank rushed to the forefront, and under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, they shot at the archers on the opposite bank!

The rain of arrows all over the sky, with a sharp whistling sound, plummeted down!Surprise everyone who sees it!
Imagine the feeling of being shot through the chest by an arrow if you slow down by one beat, even breathing will be stopped!
puff puff!

There were still a few archers who were flustered and didn't cooperate well with the sword and shield hands in front of them. Unfortunately, they were shot by arrows.

A large number of arrows were blocked by the large shield, and the sound of thumping was constant. The large shields on the top of each sword and shield soldier almost all suffered the attack of the arrows!

Standing on the high ground behind, Feng Yao roughly estimated that in the first round of arrow rain, there were about dozens of enemies killed, and dozens of his own losses!

The enemy also used a combination of swords and shields and archers, so it didn't play a big role!
"My lord, look quickly, the enemy is transporting catapults, we must be ahead of the enemy and let the catapults attack!" Xu Shu said anxiously.

"Okay! Order the catapult to come forward! But before that, I want to let the enemy see the damage of my Longbow Battalion!" Feng Yao said.

With the flag waving, the catapult, led by dozens of people, moved forward slowly, ready to attack.

In front of the catapult formation, a thousand longbowmen carefully selected by Feng Yao rushed out, standing outside the range of the shortbowmen on the opposite bank, followed by another thousand miscellaneous servants, leading With bundles of arrows freshly soaked in oil and kindling, they are ready for orders at any time.

"Light it up!" The tribune supervisor of the Longbow Battalion shouted loudly.

The handyman immediately ignited the fire, while the longbowman turned sideways and ignited the rocket!

"shoot!"

Hearing the order, a thousand longbowmen shouted loudly, pulled the longbow half a man's height away, let go again, and with a whoosh, the long arrow flew obliquely into the sky with the tongue of fire .

Although these rockets are equipped with tarpaulins, their range is still much greater than that of the shortbowmen. A thousand rockets whistling in the wind flew to the sky above the arrows shot by the shortbow in the blink of an eye, and then the arrows fell, The enemy's catapult that was advancing towards the rear fell down!

"Ah! It's a rocket! Stop moving forward! Stop moving forward!" shouted the enemy army commander commanding the catapults.

Seeing the fire and rain all over the sky, the enemy soldiers pulling the catapult widened their eyes in horror. Some reacted quickly, some retreated, and some immediately got behind the frame of the catapult when they saw that the situation was wrong, trying to rely on those thick logs. Block the rocket, but those positions are limited after all, they can only accommodate more than a dozen soldiers to hide, and the other soldiers are immediately frightened.

Seeing that the soldiers standing behind couldn't dodge in time, someone directly grabbed the armor of the soldiers in front, fell down, and used the soldiers in front as human shields to block the rockets!

With a "poof", a rocket just passed through the crotch of the soldier who was serving as a meat shield, and shot the soldier hiding behind his buttocks.

"Ah!!" The soldier let out a scream, clutching his knees and fell backwards.

However, a moment later, the soldier flinched suddenly from the fiery hands on the rocket, his expression horrified.

"Help me! Save me!" Seeing that the armor on his knees had already been burned by the rocket, the soldiers shouted in a hurry.

The soldier with the meat shield who had escaped angrily glanced at the soldier who was shot by the rocket, turned around and ran towards the rear, not wanting to help the soldier who was hit by the arrow at all.

At the head of Wuyan City, Cheng Yu had already stood on the top of the city gate, watching his catapult troops in chaos from a distance, and said angrily: "Longbowmen again! Lu Bu's longbowmen have already overwhelmed our army." It's a big loss, I didn't expect Feng Yao to train a longbowman!"

This round of rockets caused more than 100 casualties in Cheng Yu. Although the casualties were not large, the morale of the catapult troops was completely broken, and they dared not go forward at all.

across the river

A burst of cheers erupted from Feng Yao's army.

"Light it up again! Shoot me, and the enemy's catapults must not dare to approach!" The commander of the Longbow Battalion happily shouted again.

After receiving the rockets handed over by the handyman, the longbowmen changed arrows faster than the shortbowmen. After the arrows were attached, another round of volleys fired!Once again, it took away the lives of nearly a hundred enemy soldiers.

After shooting three waves of rockets, Feng Yao's catapult troops were within range.

A total of 2000 catapults, pulled by nearly [-] handymen, roared. Stones weighing tens of kilograms were thrown high, flew over the Wenshui River, and smashed hard on the opposite bank. Most of them missed the target, or they fell into the river water and caused splashes more than ten feet high, or because they were thrown too far, they fell behind the sword and shield soldiers and archers, and rolled dozens of times on the ground before they were killed. stop.

But there are still a small number of stones that hit the sword and shield soldier's large shield.

Boom, tens of catties of stones fell from the sky, weighing a thousand catties!The large shield shattered directly under the bombardment of the stone, and the sword and shield soldier behind the shield screamed and was smashed to death!
Although only a few people were crushed to death, the momentum was too terrifying, and the enemy soldiers were beginning to retreat.

After dozens of rounds of rocks mixed with bow and arrow attacks, Cheng Yu's archers on the other side finally retreated.

Wei Yan led [-] soldiers to shake off the enemy, and rushed straight towards the north bank of Wenshui. At this time, the distance between them was only two miles. It can be reached, and the archers Cheng Yu arranged on the north bank will face a massacre in front of Wei Yan.

"The defenders in the city, attack with all their strength. We must wipe out Wei Yan's 1 people. They must not be allowed to set up a defense line on the north bank, and Feng Yao's army must not be allowed to cross the Wenshui River!" Cheng Yu ordered loudly.

The east and south gates of Wuyan City opened quickly, and five thousand elite soldiers rushed out each, and surrounded Wei Yan's 8000 men.

"Mancheng, it's time for your knights to show their fangs!" After Cheng Yu gave the order, he looked towards Tiger Mountain and Qinglong Mountain.

Under Qinglong Mountain
Wu Hao, who was ordered by Wei Yan to resist the enemy soldiers on Qinglong Mountain, led more than two thousand well-equipped soldiers, and collided with a thousand knights rushing down from the mountain.

"Kill!!" Wu Hao's troops were twice as strong as the enemy's, and his morale was like a rainbow!
"Kill!!!" Although Tong Xiong's thousand knights are few in number, they are all highly skilled in martial arts. If they fight alone, each of them is a fierce knight who can be counted as an enemy!
