Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 62 Despair
The soldiers of the Tian family army, who had just lay down and hadn't taken a breath, got up and dug wells to fetch water under the orders of their respective commanders.At this time, the soldiers of the Tian family army were almost out of strength, and the speed of digging the well was naturally not so fast.

After tossing for nearly half an hour, someone finally dug down nearly a foot. It's a pity that before the soldiers of the Tian family army burst into cheers, the soldiers of the Tian family army who were digging the well quickly crawled out of the pit like a ghost, and then wowed beside them. Vomit.

"What's going on?" The handsome Long Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Why did you stop? The brothers are still waiting to drink water!"

These few soldiers who vomited again and again, didn't care about talking, and gestured for Long Zhi to look for himself.

With a puzzled expression on his face, Long Zhi still walked towards the pit.Before walking three steps away from the edge of the kang, Long Zhi smelled a foul smell, which was no stranger to the soldiers who had been slaughtered on the battlefield all the year round. stink.Sure enough, as Long Zhi walked to the side of these pits that had just been dug less than halfway, he couldn't help gastric juices began to surge up, and Long Zhi shouted: "The heart of a child is vicious!"

What was found in the original pit was nothing but a mutilated corpse.At this time, the weather was hot in summer, and the corpses of Yang Suowen's troops who died in battle were exposed to the scorching sun for two days. The corpses were in such a high-temperature environment, and corpse spots and odors could appear in one day, and rotten growth had already appeared in two days. The phenomenon of maggots.In order to avoid the plague, Hu Guang ordered people to pack up the corpses and bury them randomly in the camp.Nearly four mutilated and incomplete corpses were not buried in one big pit, but scattered in various places.Some of these corpses were buried shallowly, less than three feet into the ground, while others were buried deeper, more than ten feet deep.

Long Zhi roared angrily: "Fill the earth quickly and bury the corpse. Such a corpse is prone to plague. Once infected with the plague, none of us can escape!"

The soldiers of the Tian family army stepped forward in panic to refill the big hole just dug with soil, which took a lot of effort.This is the way to fill the pit.However, at this moment, the sound of cursing one after another rang out.

A total of nine marshals will excavate nearly three times at the same time, and all of them won the prize without exception.At this time, even the best-tempered person will go berserk.

"Report to the Marshal, something is wrong!"

"what happened!"

"Jizi battalion reinforcements are here!"

"how many people?"

"There are more than 100 people!"

Hearing that there were only more than 100 reinforcements, the soldiers of the Tian family army didn't take it seriously. In a battle of this scale, 100 people can play a very limited role, at best it can only boost morale.

However, because Tian Bao was also so thirsty that smoke was coming out of his throat, he couldn't help saying angrily: "Damn, don't dig anymore, all the heroes go back and mobilize the elite, break through the Jizi camp to encircle the camp gate, let's go to the Huaihe River one mile away Fetch water!"

However, at this time, Gao Jingzong also arrived at Hu Guang's troops.Gao Jingzong was relieved when he saw that there were still about [-] people in the front of the dead army.When Gao Jingzong came to Hu Guang, he laughed and said, "Fortunately, the fight didn't start. I finally caught up with the big battle!"

"The Immortal Gao came just in time, the Tian family's army is about to be defeated!" Hu Guang said with a smile: "The Immortal Gao, come and watch a good show!"

Gao Jingzong said in astonishment: "Why did you lose?"

Hu Guang pointed to the soldiers of the Tian family army and said with a smile, "Do you think they still have the strength to fight?"

It was only then that Gao Jingzong noticed that the faces of the soldiers of the Tian family army rarely sweated, and their lips were dry and peeled. Under such a hot sun, they would not sweat. This is very abnormal. Even Gao Jingzong, a fake genius doctor, knew that most of these Tian Family Army soldiers showed signs of mild or moderate heatstroke.

On the other hand, on the side of the dead army, almost all of them were sweating profusely.Gao Jingzong laughed and said, "We won!"

If you can't even beat a group of people who have already suffered from heat stroke, the army of death will really become an army of death.

Sure enough, it took Tian Jiajun nearly two quarters of an hour to complete the entire team.These soldiers were exhausted and complained incessantly, and many heroes used whips to draw the soldiers to the assembly area.In particular, most of the soldiers of the Tian family army began to shake, and they couldn't even walk steadily, so don't expect them to be so fierce.

The gate of the big camp built by Hu Guang is not wide, at best, only seven or eight people can walk side by side.As soon as Tian's army left the camp, Hu Guang, who was [-] steps away, shouted: "The crossbowmen are on the strings, and they fire alternately!"

The drums sounded, and with the rhythm of the thud, the crossbowmen of the dead army began to follow the combat sequence, in groups of ten, and fired hard crossbow salvos.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the air sounded, and ten crossbowmen of the dead army fired at once. Or keep shooting.By analogy, again and again, ten crossbows are a group of crossbow bolts to block the gate of the camp.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Tian Family Army, who were struggling to hold their shields, suddenly found that their shields were densely packed with cracks. The first wave of crossbow arrows had just ended, and the second wave of crossbow arrows arrived in an instant, crackling and hitting the shield again.As a result, many shields cracked in response, and crossbow arrows ruthlessly pierced into the soldiers holding the shields.

"噗嗤噗嗤" the sound of crossbow arrows piercing into the flesh was heard, followed by the screams of the soldiers holding the shields of the Tian family army.Seeing that the heavy shield he relied on to protect his life couldn't stop the crossbow arrows of the dead soldiers, these Tian family army shield soldiers were scared out of their wits and threw down their shields one after another to dodge. The originally very narrow passage at the entrance of the camp suddenly became chaotic.Then the soldiers of the Tian family army who lost their shield protection were shot down by the continuous crossbow arrows of the dead army, and the corpses blocked the entrance of the camp after a while.

Why did Tian Jiajun's heavy shield become vulnerable at this time?In fact, this is because Tian Jiajun's shields are all crudely made, and there is no formal shield manufacturing process at all.Although the shield looks very simple, it is just a piece of wood covered with cowhide or wrapped with iron, and there are also iron shields made of iron.In fact, shield making also has a lot of craftsmanship.

First of all, the wood for making shields will never be made of tung trees like Tian Jiajun's. This tung tree has a short growth cycle and is a very famous source of economic forest trees in China.However, the wood of the tung tree is soft and light, and it is very easy to chop.Material selection is one aspect, and the other aspect is that shield planks, like shipbuilding timber, can only be dried slowly in the shade rather than exposed to the sun.As the shields of the soldiers of the Tian family army were exposed to the sun, a large amount of water in the paulownia wood evaporated rapidly. At the same time, the wood fibers began to shrink, and cracks began to appear on the shields. It will shatter, not to mention the continuous shooting of the crossbow?

The soldiers of the Tian family army, who had lost their shields, ran away one after another. Tian Bao was furious and cursed angrily: "A group of bastards, the commander-in-chief hasn't ordered the troops to withdraw, so get back."

Tian Bao's roar was useless at all, not to mention that the soldiers of the Tian family army couldn't hear it at all on the chaotic battlefield, and even if they heard it, they wouldn't obey it.

At this time, a scene that made Tian Jiajun desperate began to appear.
