Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 880: It’s hard to turn away when people are distracted

"what happened?"

Seeing that after the archer fell, the dense rain of arrows suddenly became a pitter-patter, Wang Jun couldn't help but stare, and felt something bad in his heart.

Almost at the same time that he noticed something strange, people from all over the army came running quickly to tell them about the sudden change.

"Reporting to the general, all the archers in the army suddenly fell ill and fell down one after another!"

"After many of these archers fell, they put their hands on their abdomens, screamed with pale faces, and were covered in sweat. They seemed to be in unbearable pain!"

"Many archers fainted on the spot and were unable to get up again, so they were unable to maintain the offensive!"

……

This series of reported news immediately made Wang Jun and others' faces darken.

They immediately understood that they were waiting for others, and they were afraid of being plotted against by others, and this sudden attack was enough to kill them!
"In the battlefield, even if everyone is densely packed, it is impossible for so many people to get acute illnesses at once, and fall ill at the same time. It happens to be the time when the enemy is fighting. The trick here..." Lu Ya's face was gloomy at first, But as he said and thought, his face gradually paled. He looked at Wang Jun with a look of horror in his eyes.

"That's right, the symptoms are all happening at the same time. How can such a coincidence happen!" Wang Jun's face looked equally ugly. "The only possibility is that they ate something harmful, and they just ate it recently!" At this point, Wang Jun suddenly became furious. He suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and then slashed it at the low table next to him, directly cutting off a section of the table!
"Food! Food for soldiers! There's something wrong with that!" He roared suddenly, with endless anger in his voice, "How many of my men have surrendered to the enemy? It's almost endless! Who else can I trust? After this battle, I will definitely replace all of them, leaving no one behind!"

With Wang Jun's experience, he would not say such words on such an occasion, but after realizing that there was a problem with food and grass, he knew that he was really doomed, because this problem was fatal and difficult to reverse!

Coupled with the previous changes, blows, and suspicions about his subordinates and people around him, Wang Jun's heart and reason were constantly swallowed up. He was forcibly suppressed by his tenacious will, but the confidence of his will comes from his strength. , Wang Jun's strength is his military strength, and this military strength is also the key for him to protect himself.

When all the confidence was shattered, even Wang Jun could not maintain his composure.

His gaffe made the surrounding lieutenants and generals feel chilled, especially Lu Ya, but he knew that his general had arrested Mr. Lu as soon as he came to the army. Looking back now , It turned out that it was because of suspicion that the person was a traitor.

Thinking of the large-scale anti-corruption campaign carried out within the Youzhou Army not long ago, Lu Ya couldn't help but feel more worried and chilled.

Okay, it turns out that we are loyal, but in the heart of this great general, I still have doubts. Listening to the meaning of this, if Youzhou wins this war, I am afraid that even Lu Ya will not end well!
Similar thoughts were not only spinning in his mind, but also other people present were thoughtful and uncomfortable, but Wang Jun couldn't care about it at all, because just after the news about the archer came, another Several people rushed to report, but this time it was not the archers who were sick, but the infantry holding shields!
At this moment, even Lu Ya had no time to think about anything else. Shield soldiers and infantry were not a dispensable unit. Whether it was to protect the wings or, like now, to protect the archers and suppress the enemy, they were indispensable. With so little fighting power, even they fell. The situation was terrible, and what worried Lu Ya even more was...

"First the archers, then the shield soldiers. I wonder if it will involve a wider range later. If there is a problem with the food and grass, it may indeed be the hands of a traitor. The key is these problematic food and grass. What to focus on, to what extent is it affected, how many people are affected, if it is the whole army, then..."

Then don't fight at all, just surrender.Such thoughts slowly emerged in the hearts of the rest of the people. They looked at each other and saw worries and some thoughts in each other's eyes.

………………

At the same time, in the opposite Daijun Wuding army formation, the deputy general brought the latest battle situation——

"The enemy's arrows began to decrease rapidly, and the shields in many places began to collapse!"

When Yang Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the effect of the medicine is beginning to show. According to the general, this medicine is mixed with food and grass. If it is not boiled, it will not work immediately. If you swallow it, For a person, after a period of activity, the qi and blood veins in the body slowly fill up, and the effects of the medicine will slowly emerge. Eventually, the person will fall to the ground, feeling weak and losing combat power. It will take two or three hours. Only then can we truly recover.”

Two or three hours is close to half a day. Such a long time is enough to determine the success or failure of a battle.

When two armies confront each other, if one side's soldiers lose their combat effectiveness for two or three hours, then when they recover, they can be registered directly in the prisoner camp.

"Let the soldiers be ready," Yang Yuan was waiting for this moment, and he didn't hesitate at the moment. After the shield formation was half collapsed, it was time to charge. By that time, the enemy's archers should also lie down. "

Yang Yuan gave the order, and in the forest behind him, many soldiers and Wu Ding were dispatched and ready to attack.

Correspondingly, the Youzhou Army in the distance, which had almost formed an offensive, was showing signs of collapse at this moment, especially after gradually losing the cover of arrows and shields, these signs became more and more obvious.

Finally, after spotting the rapid collapse of a gap, Yang Yuan suddenly waved his hand.

"rush!"

As soon as the order was given, the shouts of killing rose into the sky. The cavalry took the lead and rushed out from the side of the archers, followed by the infantry!

One after the other, the torrent of the Changchang River converged and rushed towards them. In the rain of arrows, they stepped across the land where the arrows were pierced and inverted. Amid the roar of the Youzhou Army, they directly hit the wall made of shields. , then the horse's hooves were raised and the shields were scattered.

The soldiers behind the shield screamed one after another, and the seemingly solid line of defense was washed away in an instant, like a crack appeared on a dam, and then the crack spread, the flood roared out, and the entire dam collapsed!

Instant collapse!
The defense line of the Youzhou Army no longer existed, and the soldiers behind the defense line had no idea that their own shield soldiers were scattered around as if they were made of paper when they were hit by the enemy. Therefore, they were caught off guard and were immediately beaten. Senseless.
