Chapter 1336 Blood is full of blue river

The Han army of 50,000 against the Zhou army of 50,000, and even the number of people is about the same.

However, the Han army is only the headquarters of Xiao Shilian in the southeast, and it is only a part of Xiao Shilian's command, for the Han army, even if this army is damaged, Li Xinchen will lead another army to arrive within two months.

However, the Northern Zhou army was almost all of the Lantian battalions that Wei Xiaokuan could mobilize, and the generals such as Liang Shiyan, Gao Xi and Li Shiqian under Wei Xiaokuan also poured out, obviously Wei Xiaokuan had planned to make a desperate bet.

Behind the comparison of military strength between the two sides, in fact, is it not the current comparison of national strength?

Yang Jian, who is already extremely weak, unless there is an impossible reversal, is actually just stubbornly resisting.

But the current situation also seems to be a little strange.

Just a few days ago, the Han army forced the Lanchuan to rush to Liang Shiyan, who fought and retreated on the other side, but in just a few days, the Han army relied on the Lanchuan to defend.

Obviously, what the Han army is seeking now is to fight steadily, while Wei Xiaokuan is asking for all his might. The mentality of both sides has actually changed a lot.

"Put!" The thunderbolts of the Han army were the first to roar.

No matter how steady the Han army is, the coach is still Xiao Shilian after all.

He will never give Wei Xiaokuan any chance to take the lead.

The battle to defend the grain had been expected for a long time, so the craftsmen also measured the specific situation on the other side in advance, and even used a thunderbolt to conduct a test firing, which naturally came in handy at this time.

The stone projectiles whistled out, and because all the scalars had already been adjusted, the stone projectiles were thrown out almost in a row.

In the midst of the war, everyone was evolving, the Han army was advancing, and so was the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

With the whistling sound of stone bullets, the Northern Zhou army had begun to spread out in all directions, and it was obvious that they had all been trained to be at least qualified, so as to minimize the damage caused by stone bullets as much as possible. The hit of the stone bullet actually depends on the face completely, and I am afraid that the stone bullet will fall into a crowded place at once, and one stone bullet will kill four or five people or even more.

"Pot on fire!" The next row flew in a row, but it wasn't stone bullets.

The fire pot is not a new thing for the Han army, but the stability of the fire pot is not high, sometimes it explodes first, and even has a record of burning the entire trebuchet, so it is not as durable as the stone bullet, especially the current positioning of the thunderbolt is still based on attacking the fortress after all, for the tall city wall, the stone bullet can not only kill the enemy, but also destroy the city wall, and the material is cheap and beautiful, naturally it is better than the fire pot with a narrower scope of application.

Later, the Ministry of Industry also made some corrections to this problem to enhance the firmness of the fire pot. This ensures that the fire pot does not endanger at least its own people. And now that the Ministry of Industry has taken out all its production capacity to produce new gunpowder, the transitional product of the fire pot has become very weak, so according to the instructions of the Ministry of Industry, the remaining fire pots will naturally be consumed as much as possible.

"Bang!" The fire pot smashed into the ranks of the Zhou army on the opposite bank, bursting with a bang, and the flames directly swallowed everything that could be burned around. However, it is obvious that the effect is not as good as the stone bullet just now, but there is still a shocking momentum, especially the bed crossbow that ignited a few Zhou Jun.

Those bed crossbows are blazing, and it is naturally quite spectacular to look at from here.

As the Blue River got closer and closer, the Northern Zhou army began to restrain its ranks again. Their crossbowmen also began to fight back at this time, and at the same time, the small trebuchets carried by the army were not willing to be lonely to protest to their peers who were much larger than themselves.

"Ready for battle!" Xiao Shilian gave a decisive order, and the army put up its shield and began to move forward.

Xiao Shilian is not a good person, and he will not let go of such a good opportunity to hit halfway.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty rushed into the water.

"Kill!" The spears in the hands of the Han soldiers were raised, and their eyes were staring directly at the approaching enemy.

The crossbowmen on both sides shot round after round of arrows, or in neat or scattered arrays, and people kept falling from arrows, but there would never be any empty seats.

The attack of the Northern Zhou people, or Wei Xiaokuan, to be precise, was very decisive and decisive, and the whole army pressed on it, leaving no one behind. It's almost a one-time battle to decide the rhythm of the battle.

In fact, Wei Xiaokuan has no choice when he comes to this point.

The strength of the two sides is about the same, if he sends troops to attack little by little, I am afraid that in the end it will evolve into an out-and-out refueling tactic, and in the end it will just give Xiao Shilian a head.

So just go straight to the winner.

Xiao Shilian's eyebrows raised, Wei Xiaokuan's decision was indeed a little unexpected, but it was also reasonable.

What's more, it doesn't procrastinate, which is very much in line with Xiao Shilian's appetite.

As the left and right flanks of the Han army, Lu Guangda and Huang Wansuo, soon faced Liang Shiyan and Gao Xi on the opposite side. And Xiao Shilian also led the Chinese army straight to the shore of the Blue River, just on the opposite bank, Wei Xiaokuan's flag danced in the wind.

Almost all the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty rushed into the water, and if you look at Lanchuan from the sky at this time, you will be shocked to find that there are only black people left on the entire river.

The flow of water has been blocked, the sludge at the bottom of the river has been stirred, and the once clear water of the river is now tumbling and rolling as if it had been boiled. Northern Zhou soldiers were constantly shot and arrows fell, and their blood was mixed into the increasingly turbid river.

As more and more people fell from the Northern Zhou, the originally clear river water gradually turned black, and then turned into a frightening crimson. That's because there is already too much blood, so much that there is no way to dilute the river water.

And until this time, the battle had not really begun.

The first two flags tilted forward slightly at the same time.

The first platoon of Northern Zhou soldiers had already rushed to the shore.

They were greeted by rows and rows of spears.

Almost simultaneously, the spear pierced the body.

The Han army and the Northern Zhou soldiers fell at the same time. And naturally there are people behind them to fill in. Even as the drums of the Han army became more and more urgent, the soldiers of the Han army in the front row had taken steady steps forward to press the Northern Zhou army.

The two sides crowded on the riverbank, constantly sawing back and forth, and there were corpses floating downstream along the water, and the river was completely dyed red.

"Kill, kill, break through!" The Northern Zhou generals who led the team shouted loudly, urging the soldiers under his command to move forward, but judging from the current situation, his shouts were in vain. The Northern Zhou soldiers had trampled on the jet-black and red water, but it was difficult for them to climb the riverbank.

No one is willing or allowed to take a step back, and the two sides can only compete little by little to consume the number of people. See who can withstand such a loss, and see who collapses first.
