0325 First Battle

The torrential rain poured, covering the sky and the wilderness, and the white lines between the sky and the earth were boundless, and the field of vision could not be more than a foot in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rainwater pooled from the high slope and poured down half of the body. The sound of the thick drums penetrated the rain curtain and resounded around the surroundings, and Shen Zhezi stood under the canopy, his face covered with water stains and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain. The sound of fighting a few miles away has been completely muffled by the sound of rain, and only occasionally a few sharp sharp weapons and terrible screams have luckily penetrated the rain curtain here, which can already make people feel the fierceness of the battle ahead.

Scout messengers scurried through the mud, shuttling back and forth, delivering the latest battle reports on the battlefield. And Shen Zhezi's sergeant in the reserve sweeping array moved with the news and moved as the battlefield moved, ready to enter the battle at any time to respond.

After the Dongyang Army entered Daye Pass, the generals had just reached the intention of counterattacking Zhang Jianbu, and then the torrential rain plummeted, which has been stretched for several days. No matter how high the fighting spirit is, in the face of such an irresistible factor as the weather, it can only temporarily stop fighting. However, as the rain continued for a long time and never abated, everyone's minds could not help but come alive again.

It is true that the torrential rain has a bad effect on both the enemy and us, but it is clear that Zhang Jianbu is particularly harmful when he sleeps in the wilderness. Seeing that the depression outside the Great Cause Pass has become a Ze country, Xiaoliu is also surging, and the opponent's camp has a hidden tendency to retreat, and the generals' desire to fight is even stronger.

Especially for the Dongyang Army, which has not been in the army for a long time and urgently needs to prove itself, it is simply a humiliation if it cannot take the initiative to attack but can only sit and watch the enemy retreat when it has an advantage in numbers and supplies!

Shen Zhezi also knew the importance of this battle, weighed it again and again, and at the same time widely spread scouts out of the customs to roam in the field to collect information, and finally decided to attack after making sure that Zhang Jianbu was indeed weak and not a lure to the enemy. This time, the 3,000 Dongyang army was exhausted, except for Guo Yu, who was responsible for guarding the back road of the Great Cause Pass, the rest of the generals also accompanied him, and he must hit Zhang Jian hard in a battle!

Zhang Jianbu slowly retreated, and the Dongyang army was not forced too much, but only chased after him. Finally, when Jurong was approaching dozens of miles away, the river tide rose sharply and blocked the way. The road ahead was cut off, and Zhang Jian could only set up a formation along the river to meet the incoming enemy, hoping to fight a bloody way out of the water.

Under the rainstorm, the bow and arrow have long been useless. At the beginning of the battle, the two armies were close to each other, and they collided together without any fancy fancy. The real battle could not tolerate too many intrigues, as a retreating side, morale was already low, in order to withstand the blow, Zhang Jian's formation contracted, and defended in a river bay stronghold.

As soon as the drums and trumpets of the attack sounded, the Dongyang army untied the bamboo spear and short spear on his waist and threw it hard. These spears pierced through the rain curtain and shot in front of you in an instant! Most of the people on the periphery of the formation were the rebels, who were already unclothed, let alone armored, and were instantly pierced through the chest and abdomen by those flying spears, and fell heavily into the mud!

After a few rounds of flying spears, the forward of the Dongyang Army had already climbed over the rudimentary fortified defense line built by the wooden and stone frame on the periphery of the ground formation, and went straight to the hole that had been torn open in the formation!

The spear is strong, and it rushes forward without moving forward, and there are many people in the enemy camp who have not had time to react, and their bodies are either forced back by the spear, or pierced by the spear! Plasma spilled all over the sky, mixed with rain, and spread in all directions!

As soon as the battle began, it became white-hot, and more and more Dongyang troops rushed in. The stragglers on the outskirts of the camp only put up a slight resistance with their clubs in vain, and more of them either retreated to the rear or fled to the sides. The first round of drumming has not stopped, and the Dongyang Army has already cut through the first line of defense of the rebels and rushed to the real front of the Liyang Army!

As an important general under Su Jun, Zhang Jian also fought in the north and south, and he has been fighting for a long time, and no matter how bad the weather is, there is no lack of combat experience. Even if he is already at a disadvantage, he still does not panic. He took off his cloak and wore only half armor with fish scales, and the thousands of elite troops around him were arrayed, and he was not frightened by the chaotic front and the sound of fighting that was getting closer and closer. It is like a tiger dormant in the rain, waiting for the enemy's momentum to drop slightly and the momentum to slow down, and then it will attack head-on!

Xu Mao was in the spear formation that rushed forward, and the rain-filled doumbled had long been thrown away by him, his lips were tightly pursed, and he occasionally shook his gun to pick up one or two fish that slipped through the net. There were more than a dozen personal soldiers in front of him, shouting at the top of their voices while killing the enemy: "Bundle the array and slash, don't chase the enemy!" ”

Although the Dongyang Army is brave, the Liyang Army is also not weak. Compared with the slightly monolithic momentum of the Dongyang Army, the Liyang Army, which has more combat experience, is much more flexible. In such a harsh environment where heavy rain is pouring and unified dispatch has completely lost its effectiveness, the quality of the soldiers of the Liyang Army who has been tested by the war for a long time is reflected, even if the formation has been chiseled through and the soldiers are scattered, but under the orders of the commander and the captain, they are once again organized into a small force, and the wolves generally rush up to kill and eat!

is also a homeless marshal, Xu Mao knows the fighting style of the homeless militia, although he is harassed on the left and right, he must not stop to kill left and right. Once the momentum stops, the real elite of the Liyang Department in front of him will directly pounce on him, completely engulfing his vanguard!

In the face of such an offensive, the superiority of the Dongyang Army's sophisticated equipment was highlighted. Everyone was protected by armor, and despite repeated intrusions, there were not too many real casualties, and the momentum was not stopped because of this, and continued to maintain a soaring chiseling speed!

Then Shen Mu and their Chinese army came to cover up, and with the rush of the forward, in the face of the Liyang army whose formation had been defeated, the advantage was even more obvious. The two thousand Dongyang Army divided a battalion on each flank, and continued to advance along the rift torn by the forward, while the middle road became a wall, slapping all the resistance on the front road into powder, and slowly pushing forward!

For the Liyang Army, it was the first time to fight such a completely inferior battle. They are brave and good at fighting, but they have no choice but to lack an overall dispatch, they can only be divided into small groups to fight separately, once there is no advantage in the battle formation, the tight ironclad front of the Dongyang Army is more difficult to tear apart! Several people rushed forward to kill without fear of death, obviously slashing at the opponent's chest, but the other party stumbled slightly, and then stabbed him through the throat with a shot!

For generals who have been in battle for a long time, not to mention that the front is only blocked, even if they are blindfolded, there is an almost intuitive judgment of the battle situation. Zhang Jian, who was in the center of the formation, was keenly aware of the disadvantages of the battle, and finally decided not to wait any longer, and pulled out the big knife at his waist with a bang, and a trace of hideousness appeared on his scarred cheeks: "Break through with me!" ”

Under the leadership of Zhang Jian, thousands of troops lined up the obstacles ahead, and soon rushed to the forward of the Dongyang Army.

"Kill!"

Zhang Jian picked up his strong arm and swung the big knife forward! This knife tore through the rain curtain like lightning, and a brief vacuum was formed after the knife wind!

The two Dongyang Army forwards bore the brunt of the attack, and as soon as the spear was raised, the tiger's mouth was shocked, and then there was a light in the hand, and the barrel of the gun had been cut off! Although they were a little flustered, the two of them did not change color, and they grabbed the ring knife around their waists and slashed up diagonally from below! However, at this time, Zhang Jian's other knife had already been cut down suddenly, and the head of the previous person was cut off like a melon.

The plasma gushed out from the severed head, and Zhang Jian blocked his face with a horizontal knife, but the plasma still sprayed on his forehead and rolled down his cheeks, which set off this fierce general like a ghost. Zhang Jian sneered, kicked the headless corpse away, and then pounced on the second person. In his usual experience, no matter how brave a soldier is, he must always be frightened when he sees this scene.

Sure enough, when the second person saw his companion die in front of him, the blood on his face suddenly receded, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but this thought only flashed for a moment, and the next moment he shouted violently: "Kill the enemy!" ”

"Look for death!"

Zhang Jian swung his knife to block, and then the blade of the knife flipped to lower the opponent's blade, and the blade suddenly slashed through the ribs and into his viscera. The Dongyang soldier whimpered in his mouth, blood foam continued to spurt from the corners of his mouth, and his body slowly fell. Zhang Jian was about to continue killing the enemy when he suddenly felt pain in his calf, and when he looked down, the dying soldier was lying in the mud, still using his remaining strength to swing his knife and slash his right leg. It's just that the force is very weak, and several slashes have only left a shallow blood mark on his calf.

"Zhang Jianxiu is leaving!"

At this time, most of the forwards of the Dongyang Army finally completely chiseled through the formation. Xu Mao took the lead, holding a gun in one hand and wielding a knife in the other, although his body was covered with plasma and his steps were heavy, his momentum was strong. And behind him, a large number of Dongyang Army platoons stabbed their guns!

"Xu Diran, you are just a high-door eagle dog, and you dare to fight me!"

Zhang Jian shook his big knife and rolled towards Xu Mao.

"Rebels and thieves, everyone can be punished!"

Xu Mao shook the spear in his hand, forced Zhang Jian to take half a step back, and then waved his hand to chop the knife, and immediately the liver and sausage near the left fell from the wound!

The two armies each rushed up and covered the main general in the formation. For a while, the battle here was indistinguishable, and there were surging figures as far as the eye could see. The torrential rain became more and more intense, and the slash fell, the blood had not yet gushed out, and the wound had been washed away and white!

"Whoever kills Zhang Jian, he will be awarded the title of fifth-class knight!"

On the left side of the battlefield, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded, and a solemn aura in the rain curtain was rapidly approaching!

"Lord, don't fall in love with war!"

Zhang Jian was still organizing the killing, and a few zhang in front of him, there was a remnant army of Liyang approaching here, as long as the Dongyang army front in front of him was killed, they could close each other. However, the captain of the family soldiers next to him grabbed his arm and shouted loudly to dissuade him.

Zhang Jian shook his head, shook off the rain hanging on his eyes, and glanced at the Dongyang army who was fighting endlessly with his family soldiers, his teeth were clenched, and his face was full of unwillingness.

"The enemy formation is disabled, besiege and kill Zhang Jian!"

The rumbling drum sounded by the river, and then more roars sounded "besieging Zhang Jian", this sound was all over the field, and the sound of rain was completely suppressed for a while!

"Retreat!"

Zhang Jian hated to fly a spear, and then led his guards to rush to the northwest where the shouting was weakest.
