Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 281 Another battle with the army
The chirping of eagles was heard in the sky, and the soaring goshawks flew through the clouds, watching the strange two-legged beasts gathering below. The sudden sound of war drums made them scream in surprise, and they turned and flew in the direction where there were no two-legged beasts.

dong dong dong-

The war drums mounted on the chariot were beating vigorously in the rear, and the steps they took made a loud sound. The successive booming sounds seemed to be in response to the drumbeats as they advanced towards the distant position. Thickly packed figures fell down. The footsteps stirred up the dust on the ground, the earth dragon pulled up ferociously rushed towards this side, and the flag raised covered the sky.

Two of the three troops were government troops transferred from Hebei. However, Yun Tianbiao did not hide his secrets this time. The divine arm archers brought from Qingzhou were distributed among the three teams, and he distributed thunderbolts and poisonous smoke balls. Later, relying on the reputation of the prime minister, he prepared enough reward money before going out for the expedition, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in Qingzhou and Hebei.After all, the military pay issued to these soldiers was not enough for these soldiers to support their families. The rewards were what he had been looking forward to for a long time. This unexpected wealth was enough to make people's blood boil and their fighting spirit raging.

It's just that the Liangshan Infantry here is different from the official army. They eat and drink well every day, and they have never been stingy with money. They borrow food when they go out, break through the city, and get extra money. Therefore, morale is good. No shortage.

"There seems to be some difference between the officers and the army... According to the information given by Brother Qiao Lie, Yun, Xin, and Deng are all brave and good at fighting. Moreover, the officers and soldiers are well equipped this time. If we let go, we will inevitably suffer too many losses. It is not easy for us to replenish our troops, and we cannot do such an unwise thing. Send an order to the commanders of the battalions ahead to rely on fortifications for defense, and not to go out to fight and drag people here." Li Zhu walked down the watchtower and spoke very quickly. Reciting Xi Sheng's order, a flag bearer climbed up to the watchtower. The waiting messengers placed small yellow flags on their backs, and several people mounted their horses and hurriedly ran forward.

"...Call Lin Chong to come forward with the new troops trapped in the camp as a reserve team, ready to enter the battlefield at any time."

Li Zhu looked back at the vigilant guards on the side and thought for a moment: "Send the order to Bai Sen in the camp and ask him to make preparations." Then he strode forward.

Everyone who received the order did not hesitate. The battalions on the front line began to retract, and the infantry holding shields stood up against the horses. As the order was issued, the Liangshan battalions began to arrange their formations according to the far and near arms, and the formation gradually became clear. stand up.

"Final bow check!"

"The spearmen in front stand back!"

In the formation, there were constant reminders from low-ranking military attachés, some of whom were in the first category. Some recruits looked nervous and were kicked in the butt by veterans. They laughed and cursed a few times. They scratched their heads in embarrassment and their heartbeats slowed down. As the figure pressed up in front of them gradually Clearly, someone shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers are pressing forward, pay attention -"

“Archer’s arrow—”

A shout came out, and arrows with cold light were placed on the bow and pointed at the ground. Yu Hou, who was holding the shield in front, took a deep breath, tied the knife in his hand with a cloth strip, and tied it with his mouth. , then held the shield in front of him and took a deep breath. Many veterans on the side did the same, leading a few recruits to follow suit.

The forwards of the official army had not yet advanced, and the soldiers who were delivering the order were roaring in the formation, and hysterical voices echoed in the air. Some people could not bear the pressure and shot out arrows. Scattered counterattacks came over, and the lonely arrows were in the air. staggered.

The pace began to slow down, and the shield-holding figure in front raised his arms in defense. The pentagonal shield was raised with an uneven bang. Looking at nearly a hundred steps, the general in bright silver chainmail under Xin Zi raised his feet. Eight Snake Spear: "Crossbowman prepares——"

wow——

There was a sound of a powerful crossbow being raised.

"Raise the shield—"

"Archer prepares—"

In the defensive array, Wen Zhongrong and Di Lei were relatively close. In the sound of orders, shields with iron rivets were raised on the ground in rows. The archers took a step forward and drew their bows like a full moon. The next moment, there were shouts of explosions. Came: "Cum!"

hum-

A swarm of strings sounded, and arrows rose from the arrays on both sides like locusts, falling rapidly along their respective trajectories.

My ears were filled with the sound of crossbow arrows hitting the shield. Occasionally, a powerful arrow shot into the ground at my feet, making a muffled sound.Amidst the occasional clicking sound, a crossbow bolt penetrated the shield and penetrated into the human body. The figure clutching the wound fell to the ground and wailed. Blood flowed out from between the fingers. The comrade who was nearby quickly dragged the person aside and reached out to grab the handle. Apply soil to the wound.

On the battlefield on three sides, both the enemy and ourselves were shot by arrows. The living people stood up and peered ahead with their eyes exposed behind the shields.

The first wave of testing was over, with casualties on both sides.

Wen Zhongrong and other men in front took a deep breath. In the field of vision, the advancing officers and soldiers were approaching. The collision of soldiers and armor could be clearly heard. Another wave of arrows rose from the formations on both sides. The close distance increased the number of casualties. The number increased, and the next moment, the general commanding on the opposite side shouted "Kill!", his footsteps roared, and the offensive formation quickly advanced.

"Ready to fight!"

Reaching out to lift a pair of sledgehammers, Di Lei squinted his eyes and looked at the figure coming up. The muscles trembling from the fight were clearly visible on the opposite face.

The moment the two sides came into contact, countless swords and spears slashed and stabbed with the purest killing intent: "Kill——"

The weapon is in negative distance contact with the human body.

The swords and shields collided with each other, and the flying wood chips spun in the air. Both sides roared and used all their strength to slash the weapons towards each other's vital points.

The sound of metal clashing exploded on the hillside, and blood and stumps flew up into the air from time to time. As the figure fell, more figures crowded forward with shouts. The sergeant in front just slashed and stabbed, his blood-red eyes refusing to give in. Half step.

Yu Hou, a brave man in the Hebei army, held a long knife and killed several Liangshan village soldiers on the front line. He pulled the knife out of his body and hacked to death the bandit soldiers who came to the side for reinforcements. Before he could continue to advance, a black shadow faced him. , his expression changed greatly, and he quickly raised the knife to block it with both hands. There was a metal clang, and the hand holding the knife felt sore and numb. Before he could recover, in his sight, the black hammer was pushed away, and the evil wind was howling on the other side. , I felt a pain on one side of my head, and my vision went dark.

"Kill!" Di Lei shook off the flesh and blood on the hammer and ran towards the next dangerous place.

On the watchtower, Xi Sheng looked at the situation on the battlefield with a steady gaze. The coordination between the officers and soldiers attacking from three sides was not very good. They had already started fighting in the front. The flags of Deng and Hazi on the left and right had not yet entered the range of bows and arrows. Moreover, the official army has not invested all its troops. Next to the cloud-character flag on the front, there is also the real-character general flag that I saw yesterday. However, the battle time is still short and the situation is not clear. I hope they can withstand it.

boom -

The sound of gunpowder explosions came one after another. Xi Sheng looked up and saw a moment of panic on the left side of the front line. Then the burly Wen Zhongrong came forward with a snake spear in his hand, and the sound of shouting seemed to be heard through the sky.

"Thunderbolt fireball?" He murmured in his mouth, turned around and ordered: "Send the order to Bosen, go to support Wen Zhongrong and Di Lei in the front, send out sergeants with loud voices to shout, don't be afraid of the thunderbolt fireball, the lethality is not that big, don't I was frightened by the explosion."

The ordering soldier bowed his head in response and quickly ran out, and then the sound of shouting echoed in the position. "If you have any other tricks, take them out and see."

Amidst the murmur, in the distance, the arrows flying from the official formation fell into the archer formation with flaming tail flames. Large shields were erected to block them, and then there were arrows from the formation to counterattack.

"Drink-"

The iron hammer smashed into the sternum, and the body flew forward. Di Lei raised the hammer with his right hand to block the sword's light. While shouting, he swung his left hammer fiercely and knocked away the attacking Hebei officer. The right side of the opponent's face was sunken. , the front line to meet the first wave of impact has been stabilized a lot, and there are fireworks flashing in the eyes ahead, and I can't help but take a deep breath and shout: "Hold up the shield!"

boom--

In the chaotic fighting, shields were smashed into the ground one after another. While putting down the supporting wooden sticks, they held the shields with their shoulders. The high-pitched voice continued to come from the ears: "Throwing axes——"

The village soldier holding a spear in the rear reached out and pulled out an ax from his waist, stepped forward and waved his arm.

The rotating cold light flew into the front line of the officers and soldiers not far away. In front of the erected shields, the sergeants howled miserably. The bodies fell backward one by one, and the blood splashed onto the ground.

"Kill!" roaring, Di Lei led the soldiers behind him forward, deflected the thrusting spear with his hammer, and beheaded several generals commanding the front line on the spot.

"retreat--"

The people who came out quickly retreated behind the shield. The young man holding the double hammer shouted: "Put up the shield! Press forward——"

The small support stick was swept away, the pentagonal side card was lifted up, and it was pushed forward. Before the approaching officers and soldiers had time to fill the gap created by their fallen colleagues, the Liangshan village soldiers who were killed suddenly approached and shouted again. Fighting with waving arms.

The battlefield was once again engulfed in fanatical shouting. The raised weapons were stained with blood, reflecting the sunlight in the sky. Black smoke rose into the sky and gradually dissipated. Di Lei was already at the forefront, fighting with those holding shields on the side. The soldiers stood together, with fallen corpses at their feet. As their footsteps fell, dirty blood squeezed out of the soil below.

The turning body avoided the stabbing spear, and the iron sledgehammer he swung killed one of the ten generals. In the field of vision, the officers and soldiers in front separated on both sides, a Luan bell rang in the ears, and the long war horse whistled. Hiss, the maroon figure rushed over with the knight in black armor, waving his arm downwards, and the tiger-eye steel whip made the sound of wind.

bang——

The steel whip smashed through the wooden shield, and with a loud noise, pieces flew into the sky. The figure holding the shield was hit in the face, and the whole person fell backwards and flew up. Wails passed through the air, and the figure who fell to the ground was twisted. Curling up, Di Lei looked at the person who came, and ran over with his hammers: "The spearman comes forward, don't let him rush into the battle!"

Countless footsteps sounded, and a line of guns pressed forward, approaching.

"I am Cui Meng of Qingzhou. I know what I am doing and I still don't kneel down and surrender!"

Amidst the shouts, the general holding a steel whip came in with a dozen cavalrymen. The tiger-eyed steel whip swiped left and right. Amidst the sound of the gun barrel breaking, a gap opened. He looked at the running figure and raised his whip to point. : "That man, don't try to be brave. If you surrender now, I can put in a good word for you!"

"I'll give you a hammer!"

The figure holding the hammer ran like flying, jumped up with big strides, and hit it with a hammer. There was a banging metal sound. Cui Meng's expression changed on the horse. With the strength of the war horse, he exerted force, and the jumping figure fell down. , looked with a hint of disdain: "How dare you ask me to surrender with such martial arts skills?"

"It's just brute force..."

Swinging his hand, Cui Meng stared at the figure behind him. Before he finished speaking, several figures rushed over quickly. With a bang, the wooden shield forced the horse. The knight on the horse who turned his head looked in horror. In the horrified eyes, the spears from behind were pierced one after another. Thick plasma gushed out from the gun hole on the war horse. The horse hissed miserably and struggled to stand up, trying to trample the shield soldier in front of it. However, it was exhausted and fell to the side. Cui Meng also reacted quickly and used force with his hands and feet. He jumped up and rolled down to the ground. When he stood up, his shiny black armor was covered with dust and his helmet was tilted to the side. He quickly stretched out his hand to straighten it.

He glanced at the dying horse with a red face, shouted "Ah!", waved the steel whip and tried to rush forward. Then the shield came up, and several spears stabbed into the chest and abdomen. Cui Meng did not dare to show off, and hurriedly They retreated into the front line of the rear officers and soldiers, and then Liangshan village soldiers rushed forward to block the gap.

……

"Xin Congzhong is pushing too slowly." Yun Tianbiao swung his riding whip a little anxiously and stared at the front line without a calm smile: "What are Deng Zongbi and Haransheng doing? Why don't they just go forward? With this It’s enough time for the mother-in-law to have a baby.”

"Commander Jie, don't be anxious. The fighting has just started. The Liangshan bandits are still somewhat capable. Xin Tongzhi still needs some time." Zhen Xianglin comforted him: "As for Deng Tongzhi and Ha Tuan training, maybe there was a mistake in the ordering troops?"

Shaking his head slightly, Cui Meng, who was fighting up the hillside, disappeared from his field of vision like waves. Yun Tianbiao, who suddenly blushed, pointed at the front position: "True pioneer, you lead your troops to help Xin Congzhong break the enemy's formation from the front."

"As ordered." He bowed his head and agreed. Zhen Xianglin raised his eyes with joyful light. He originally thought that this battle would be hidden because he failed yesterday, but he never thought that he would be able to play and avenge his shame. He was really blessed by his ancestors.

Without wasting any time, the young commander tightened the reins and ran into his own formation. After a while, the team with the real flag began to move and inserted into the forward formation from the rear. Passing by the young commander with the Xin flag, he slanted After a quick glance, he couldn't help but say: "Xin Tongzhi, Commander Jie is very dissatisfied with the speed of X's advance. How can he be called a fierce general?"

Then he rode away. Xin Congzhong, who was riding on the horse, his face flushed, raised the snake spear in his hand and pointed at the retreating figure. After a while, he held back a sentence: "You idiot, how dare you insult me? Come on, charge at me!"

Moving the flag, the figure in bright silver chain mail looked as sinking as water.

……

Just when Yun Tianbiao gave the order, the officers and soldiers on the left and right finally stepped into the battle formation. The sound of whizzing arrows and shouts of fighting quickly spread from the front. The new troops on the left and right attacked fiercely, and Xi Sheng on the watchtower kept shouting. The command adjusts the deployment.

As Zhen Xianglin led his troops into the battlefield, the voice of the order spread: "Let Lin Chong lead a battalion to the top of the camp, and tell the three generals in front that they must defend the front even to the death."

Not long after, a figure wearing heavy armor, a round shield tied to his hand, and a spear entered the position.
