0639 Charge

Thousands of horses galloping, shaped like a black tide, at the beginning it was just a line, suddenly growing into a bundle, the horse's hooves galloping, stepping on the ground like thunder, such as a torrent, such as a sharp blade, in a very short period of time will be people's vision cut open, in the eyes only the horse galloping, leaning over the knight, and there is nothing left!

Shen Zhezi stood behind the rammed stone battlement wall, looking at the galloping cavalry array in front of him, his palms were slightly damp, and his mouth was faintly dry. He hadn't seen much of the real cavalry charge, and although he had done enough psychological construction before, when he really witnessed it, he couldn't help but be nervous, and even his heart was swaying.

Regardless of the lethality and mobility of the cavalry charge in the formation, the visual impact and the huge psychological pressure caused by the formation of cavalry charges cannot be ignored. Although he was still far away, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but frequently hold the knife in his hand, and adjust his standing posture on the spot to counteract the increasingly tense heartstrings, and his heartbeat became faster and faster as the sound of horses' hooves approached.

He couldn't help but look at the sides of him, both of whom were the veterans of Lu Yong's department. It was evident that there was no shortage of nervousness among the men, the knuckles of the men in the front row with shields and spears faintly white, and the knuckles of the bows and strings flicked their fingers frequently to soothe their slightly stiff muscles.

Despite these small movements, these people did not make any greater changes, one by one, like sculptures, their lips pursed, and they looked at the battle formation on the other side of the trench.

The sound of horses' hooves on the opposite side is like spring thunder, but there is silence in the trenches, and if you concentrate, you can even hear the sound of boiling blood hitting blood vessels!

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Shen Zhezi could even clearly see the jumping tracks of the armor pieces of the knights who rushed to the front as the horses rose and fell, as well as the hideous faces that loomed behind the flying horse's mane!

Boom ......

It was not the heartstring, but the bowstring, and the bow and arrow that had already been drawn on the horse's back shot out in an instant, and countless life-seeking lines suddenly shot out!

Shen Zhezi subconsciously retreated sideways, and when he looked left and right, he saw that although those soldiers were still making small movements, their legs were as if they were rooted, and their shoulders and backs were not moving, and they seemed to be blind to the deadly arrows one by one.

Without spinning, there was a rapid sound of rain and hail outside the battlement wall, and the wave of arrow rain either fell into the trench in front of the battle, or inserted into the battlement wall, and occasionally the wind flew over the battlement wall with the help of the wind, and then it was knocked away by the big shield, and there was no longer the slightest lethality!

After a wave of ejaculation, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his eardrums vibrated again, and the loud drum sound rushed into his ears in an instant. Then Shen Zhezi heard the sound of a pod exploding near the left, and the soldiers behind the battlement wall turned from static pole to dynamic pole, shoulders and elbows were linked, and three arrows between breaths, and then turned and retreated, waiting for the armor soldier to step forward to fill the position.

The rain of arrows weaved in the area, the sound of tuk-tuk arrows was endless, and behind the battlements there was a brutal calmness and orderliness. As the cavalry line approached, casualties began to appear within the battlement wall, and the chaotic arrows crackled and fell overhead, and those who were hit by the arrows retreated with their shields, and those on standby strode up, without the slightest wavering of the line!

Feeling the atmosphere in front of this formation for a moment, Shen Zhezi also retreated and climbed onto the earthen platform of the second formation, and from this overlook, he could see the fine-tuning of the front soldiers' lines, as well as the charging and sweeping of the opposite cavalry formation. From this point of view, there is less thrilling tension and more calmness in the overall situation.

After a charge, the enemy cavalry failed to cross the trench under the sniper fire of the cold arrow rain, and turned to the left flank.

And in this process, there are many knights who fall down with arrows, and some are directly hit by the followers' galloping horses, and then trampled to the ground, bursting out with a blood flower. Some of them were lucky, and they curled up slightly to grab the rope that flashed in the corner of their eyes, jumped on the back of the horse, and rode forward with their comrades!

Behind the battlements, the rain of arrows followed the knights' charging route all the way, and although there was no lack of damage to each other in the process, the overall damage was not large. After this round of onslaught, the knights began to retreat, gathering their whole ranks on the left side of the river.

However, the battle did not stop, and the sword and shield phalanx in the opposite camp marched out, although the speed was much greater than that of the cavalry formation, but soon came to the front of the trench. The two sides fired at each other, and the prunes that had fallen in the area before were tiled at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The soldiers inside the battlement wall began to adjust, and the two wings contracted to concentrate on attacking the sword and shield array that was charging frontally. After a particularly violent rain of arrows, the enemy's casualties increased sharply, and the corpses were stacked up, but they did not retreat, and the follow-up continued to pour up, beginning to eat away at the front trench little by little, filling it with dirt bags and corpses!

The frontal pressure was increasing, the forces were gradually shrinking, and the cavalry, which had already completed the formation on the left flank, charged again. Because of the lack of sniper from the rain of arrows, this time the charge went extremely smoothly, and even some cavalry crossed the first trench, but soon the reserves went into battle again, and the arrows pinned dozens of knights who were at the forefront of the charge to death!

The battle continued at this pace for nearly an hour, and the front of the first trench had already been encroached upon by nearly half, greatly reducing the ability to block the enemy, and more and more soldiers had crossed this ravine and appeared in the front line. Shen Zhezi motioned his soldiers to hang the white yu, and the boats cruising on the river suddenly turned to break through the bamboo fence and the embankment surrounded by earth, and the river poured into the trench in a surging manner, filling it up in an instant!

There were still a large number of enemy soldiers in the trench who were desperately climbing, and they were soon swept up by the river! At the same time, hundreds of armor soldiers in the front line climbed over the battlement wall, raised their shields and spears to kill the enemy battalion soldiers who were coming beyond the formation but were unable to follow!

After this formation, the enemy camp began to collect its troops, and the army slowly retreated several miles away, facing this camp from afar. The original tragic fighting came to an end, and the two armies each collected the wounded and reorganized the battalions.

Shen Zhezi also got off the earthen platform, and the commanders of each battalion led the soldiers into the front formation, treated the wounded, and climbed over the wall to clean up the arrows left in front of the formation. However, at this moment, the cavalry of the opposing army galloped out sharply, and the two sides exchanged arrows again.

At the same time, the boats cruising on the Tushui River came to report that the rear camp of the enemy was lying on the Mu River and began to swim across. The camp that had calmed down a little became active again, and Tian Jing, the victorious army that had already been waiting for battle, led the crowd to board the ship and sail up, half of the crossing!

However, this time the enemy was particularly tenacious, swimming more than half of the way through the rain of arrows, almost climbing to the side of the ship, and it was only under Shen Yun's reinforcements that he repelled this round of swimming.

Tough day! The battle suddenly began and suddenly stopped. Because of a defensive formation, the rhythm of the battle throughout the day was always under the control of the opponent, either the sword and shield in front of the formation, or the fierce charge of the cavalry, and the swimming, occasionally attacking with flanks. Shen Zhezi's department has always been passive, although thanks to the full preparation in advance, the battle formation has not suffered major losses, but after defending all day, from the commander to the soldiers, they are very tired.

After nightfall, the consumption of this whole day of combat was also initially sorted out, the largest consumption was arrows, in order to avoid short-handed combat, only the bow and crossbow suppressed, this day consumed more than 30,000 arrows! What makes people speechless is that the biggest consumption is not Lu Yongjun, who is in the front, but the new pawn of the Shengwu Army who is responsible for the containment of the river.

These soldiers performed well today, at least there was no chaos, and all the strategies and snipers were completed. However, the arrows were sprayed arbitrarily without money, and 2,000 people were in battle today, with an average of more than five arrows per person.

The generals met in the evening, and this statistic was on the table, and the generals were speechless. Even if the recruits are highly qualified and have high morale, they have to admit that they are far better than the veterans in terms of grasping the rhythm of the battle. Every time I tease, I have to fight back with ten points, and in the evening, I am tired one by one!

In the face of Hu Run, Shen Yun and others, Shen Zhezi was not polite, and directly reprimanded the face, and at the same time gave Lu Yongjun great praise, and all the soldiers in his department were all first-class merits. Jiagong is also an extension of Jiatian Ling, a Jiagong is a year's food for Jiashi, although there is no Tuntian in Huaiyou at present, but Liyang has been quite large-scale. Eat when you win, don't delay or owe!

At first, he was very eager to fight, but when he really fought, his own troops did not perform well. Hurun, Shen Yun and others were in a bad mood, and it was conceivable that they were going to attack at night immediately. Shen Zhezi also agreed with a little groan, and the one-day confrontation with Huang Quan's department can be said to have taught them a vivid lesson, and Huang Quan is just a partial division of the first brigade of Qianhu, and he will go north to the Central Plains in the coming day, and the intensity of the battle can be imagined.

Now that they have been beaten to the ground, regardless of the results of the battle, at least it will be difficult to maintain a strong morale. Occupying the waterways is one of their few strengths, and it would be a good thing if they could take a little initiative in it.

Not long after the night eclipse, Hu Run and the others were still ordering troops to prepare to attack the camp, when the opposite military formation suddenly moved again. Thousands of torches were raised in unison, and they were going to directly engage in a night battle!

"Night raid as usual!"

Faced with Hurun's request for instructions from in a hurry, Shen Zhezi decided after a little thought, not only that, but the original prepared troops were doubled.

After the day's fighting, he admitted that he was indeed inferior to Huang Quan, a long-fought warrior like Huang Quan, in terms of military formation, but one thing he knew very well was that the slave soldiers were brave, but they were definitely not heavenly generals.

Sure enough, not long after the departure of Hurun's headquarters, Lu Yong sent someone to report that the front was a feint. But he also did not forget to remind Shen Zhezi that a feint attack can also be turned into a real attack at any time, and it should not be taken lightly. Therefore, Shen Zhezi still led reinforcements to wait for reinforcements behind the first front, and sure enough, it was another night!

The morning light broke, and the fireworks suddenly burst into the sky behind the slaves! The camp of the Qianghu, who had originally retreated and rectified, suddenly became agitated, and the people were in an uproar!

"The cavalry is saddled and armored, ready to attack!"

Shen Zhezi looked away for a moment, and then quickly ordered. Shen Mu, who had been on standby for a long time, and was already impatient, immediately ordered his subordinates to lead the horses in the camp to line up!

And Shen Zhezi also jumped off the earth platform, ripped off the plate armor on his body, and motioned to the guards to bring the scale armor and prepare to attack together!

"Make the ......"

Lu Yong, who had withdrawn from the first front, hurried over, and seeing that Shen Zhezi had already turned over and got on his horse, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins and said quickly: "The last general, please beg to attack with the army!" ”

Shen Zhezi naturally understood that Lu Yong was worried that the slave was pretending to lure the enemy, but it was not good to openly disobey the decision of the master. But when he heard the sound, he just leaned over and patted the back of Lu Yong's hand, and said with a smile: "General Lu has been fighting day and night, and he has worked a lot!" Hold the camp and wait for the victor to maneuver! ”

He will not be blindly confident, nor will he blindly exaggerate his opponent, Huang Quan is a laborer, it is true that it is beyond his expectations, but it must be unexpected to meet him here. Although this day and night of hard fighting seems to be all about Qian Hu taking the initiative and has been mastering the rhythm of the battle and attacking, the frequent attacks of the labor division also show a problem, Huang Quan is already confused!

Fighting day and night, Huang Quan has invested thousands of troops, if he can still put on a pretending chaos to lure the enemy at this moment, and order in chaos, then his person is no longer good at fighting, he is simply a wizard with a halo!
