Chapter 561: The Battle of Wuzhang Yuan (39)
"Squeak, squeak."
In the night, as the guards passed through the narrow passage one after another, the two hard bows were pulled apart by Lin Feng and Yuan Biao, and the bowstrings made a low but extremely harsh sound. The cold armor-piercing arrow was placed on his finger, and a cold feeling made Lin Feng's tired nerves sober up a little, and the small and refined armor-piercing arrow emitted a faint cold light under the bright moonlight, pointing directly at the black crowd in front of him.
Huo Cun, who arrived at the wooden bridge first, just sent the vanguard to the opposite side of the bridge to reconnoitre, check the surrounding situation and wait for the rear Shang Rang to arrive, without unnecessary discussion, the team of more than 1,000 people began to quickly cross the bridge, and then re-set up the position on the opposite side of the bridge, and after everyone passed, they began to pursue again.
"Click! Click!! ”
"Boom, boom! Bang bang ”
Shang Rang had just formed up and was about to give the order to continue chasing, when a series of loud noises suddenly sounded behind him, and he was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Go and see, what's going on!" ”
"Shang Shuai, Shang Shuai! Oh no, no! The bridge is broken! Some of the soldiers at the back of the group closest to the wooden bridge immediately responded loudly, and at the same time, several of the more agitated fellows immediately turned their horses' heads and hurried to the edge of the wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge of more than 10 meters has now been completely broken, and the simple bearings originally used to support the bridge deck have become several wooden stubbles that have been exposed to the water, and the original wooden bridge has also become a pile of wooden planks of different sizes, which gradually disappeared in front of several people's eyes with the rapid flow of the turbulent river.
"Someone looks like there?!" A sharp-eyed pseudo-Qi soldier immediately urged the war horse to move forward, and at the same time raised the war knife in his hand and pointed at a wooden board drifting with the waves, and shouted in surprise: "That wooden board is also available!" They must have cut the wooden bridge! ”
"Nonsense! Isn't it them, it's still us? A squad leader who stepped forward saw that his subordinates had seized the opportunity, and he was immediately a little unhappy, yelled at the other party dissatisfied, and turned his head to the other person who followed him and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and tell Shang Shuai, our army has a plan!" The wooden bridge back was demolished! It must have been done by someone from the Feng family's army! ”
Now, it was the turn of the soldier who found out about the situation just now to be unhappy, but he didn't dare to say it blatantly, he just pouted, and secretly cursed his captain in his heart, isn't it because of my good eyes that you are not happy? Hmph, it's not good to be careful, fall into it in such a dark situation!
When Shang Rang in front learned the news, he was shocked, he didn't expect that such a big thing had happened in a short period of time just now, and as soon as the news of the back road being cut off and the plan came out, the entire chasing army led by Shang Rang was suddenly panicked, and even Huo Cun realized the seriousness of the matter in an instant.
"Shang Shuai!" After hesitating for a moment, Huo Cun finally thought that the army had come to this point and had nothing to do with him, after all, Huo Cun had sent someone to do reconnaissance after arriving first, but now he was still in the middle of the plan, which made Huo Cun feel a little uncomfortable, and said to Shang Rang with a fist: "I'll go and see the situation first, Shang Shuai will stay here first, the situation may not be too bad, maybe, maybe it is a coincidence, after all, so many people walked over." ”
These words are obviously deceiving themselves, so many people walked over, and they didn't break and collapsed at that time, why did everyone break off after they didn't leave? Besides, even if the wooden bridge is not strong, it will not break in an instant.
Shang Rang didn't have much to say about this, and he also knew in his heart that Huo Cun said this just to appease the already somewhat unstable military heart. After thinking about it for a while, Shang Rang had no choice but to nod, looked at Huo Cun and said, "Be careful, it's okay here!" ”
But the seriousness of the facts has completely exceeded what Huo Cun could have predicted, on the other side of the stream, there has been a row of shining lights, accompanied by extremely rhythmic footsteps, Huo Cun, who has vicious eyes, immediately realized that it was a row of shield soldiers, and it was a giant shield. Suddenly, a group of soldiers who were following Huo Cun immediately jumped off their horses, took out the small square shield they carried, and quickly formed a small shield wall in Huo Cun.
After dozens of shield soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere to slowly advance the shield wall, Bian Hao, the right-hand man under Meng Hong of the Feng Family Army, rode out of the woods on one side of the war horse, walked slowly behind the shield wall, and shouted at Huo Cun who was looking at each other from the other bank: "The puppet Qi rebels on the other side, you have been tricked!" Now it has been completely surrounded by our Feng family army! Lay down your arms, and spare you from dying! If you continue to resist, there is only one dead end waiting for you! ”
The two sides are almost on the edge of the stream, only a few tens of meters apart, so Bian Hao's shouting does not need to be repeated by his own soldiers at all, and Huo Cun and the others on the opposite side can also hear it clearly. Even in the silent night, except for the only sound of the stream, Bian Hao's words were transmitted with the night wind to the pseudo-Qi pursuers behind Huo Cun, including Shang Rang, who were faintly heard.
"The rebels on the other side heard clearly! You are now surrounded by our Feng Family Army! Seeing that Huo Cun on the other side did not respond, Bian Hao couldn't help frowning, and once again opened his voice and shouted a warning: "My Feng Shuai has already given an order!" As long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, you will not be blamed for the past! If you resist stubbornly, you will definitely die! ”
After that, Bian Hao turned his horse's head, and at the same time ordered several people in front of him to open a gap in the shield wall, deliberately showing the two rows of small ballista cars that were arraying not far behind, and then commanded in a deep voice to a soldier beside him: "Put the shield in place, let them see the power of our army's ballista!" ”
Immediately, with the cooperation of the two soldiers, a shield more than one meter high was held horizontally in the air, and the ballista behind also began to twist the strings under the control of the soldiers, and with the piercing 'creaking' sound gradually slowed down, Bian Hao shouted at the people opposite: "It's best to dodge, hurt your lives, and don't be responsible!" ”
With a "bang", the only dozens of people on the other side hurriedly dispersed and hid on both sides, and even the soldiers who formed a shield wall in front of Huo Cun also cast their inquiring eyes on Huo Cun on horseback behind him, which was mixed with a thick fear.
"Humph!" Seeing this, although Huo Cun was angry in his heart, he couldn't force his subordinates to stand in place and wait for death, snorted coldly, took the lead in turning the horse's head, and walked away to the side.
"Put!"
As the ballista no longer made any sound, Bian Hao paused again for a moment and snapped off his snort.
"Boom!!"
The rebound of a crossbow string was particularly crisp and piercing in the silent night, and then a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and in the blink of an eye, there was a loud bang in everyone's ears. Immediately, the pseudo-Qi people who were observing the situation on the other side saw the shield in their eyes slammed into a shock, and the cold light appeared, and the sharp crossbow arrows broke through the shield, and the momentum swept past everyone, even if it had broken through the thick giant shield, the crossbow arrows still flew out of dozens of nearly 100 meters before they plunged into the ground, and the tail end was still shaking around, stirring the ground into a fist-sized pothole.
"Shhhh Although they have not personally experienced the power of crossbow arrows, but just seeing the scene in front of them with their own eyes, everyone can't help but think of what the result would be if the crossbow arrows hit themselves just now.
