I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 35 The two armies face off!

The Wei army's vanguard advanced in formation in front of the Han army's defensive fence.

The soldier at the front pulled out his Huanshou knife, came to the Juma stake, and began to use the knife to cut the rope on the Juma stake.

Under normal circumstances, the defenders would have already used bows, arrows, crossbows and other long-range weapons to resist the enemy.

But it is a rainy day now, and it is impossible for the Han army to use crossbows.

Because the maintenance cost of the crossbow is too high, it is easy to be damaged after being wet by rain, especially the string part.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Sima Yi dared to fight.

The weapon used by the Han army to deal with the Wei army's cavalry was the crossbow.

And it’s not just the strings that will be damaged. On such rainy days, the power of bows, arrows and crossbows will be greatly reduced and their effect will be minimal.

Unless it's a super weapon like the Song Dynasty's Eight Bull Crossbow with a range of more than 1000 meters.

At this moment, Wei Jun used his Huanshou knife to cut off the rope on the Juma stake. Another strong soldier took hold of the rope and began to pull the rope hard.

The other soldiers immediately came over and pulled together.

This was a common way of destroying horse-rejecting stakes in ancient wars.

There are more classic cases in later generations, such as when the Jin Army attacked the Song Army. The Song Army was afraid of the Jin Army's Kaizima and Tiefutu, so they surrounded the military camp with horse-rejecting stakes.

The Jin cavalry had no choice but to dismount and use manpower to remove the horse-rejecting stakes, defeating the Song army.

The Han army behind knew that the Wei army was destroying the Juma stake, but they could not take action.

"Pull!" Wei soldiers shouted loudly, and rows of soldiers joined in. They used all their strength, leaving rows of footprints, and dragged the heavy Juma stake aside.

Another group of Wei troops dragged those on the other side.

The Han army's defense was quickly opened up with a gap dozens of meters wide.

Some of the Wei troops behind were holding long halberds and some were holding simple ladders and continued to advance.

A heavy and powerful voice sounded in the rain: "The Governor has an order! Whoever takes the head of the leader of the Shu army will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"

At this order, the Wei soldiers went crazy and roared wantonly.

The soldiers holding ladders quickly walked to the trench first.

Rows of ladders fell down and were set up on the ground and the mounds on the other side.

The Wei army behind them moved quickly, and a large black mass climbed over the ladder, climbed to the mound, raised their long swords, and jumped down.

Behind is the Han army's formation, which has been prepared for a long time. The Han army in the front row is wearing iron armor, holding a halberd, and looks solemn.

As soon as the first row of Wei soldiers jumped down, they were struck by countless sharp halberds.

The halberd struck the iron armor, making a harsh friction sound.

I saw the rows of Wei troops, like kites with their strings cut off in the air, being pinned to the mound. Before they had time to shout, the halberds from behind also stabbed them.

Pierce the neck.

Then he quickly pulled out the halberd and continued to stab it.

"Kill! Kill! Kill all these Shu dogs!" Someone in the Wei army roared crazily.

Lightning flashed across the clouds, making the armor pale. The Han army's counterattack had just begun, but the Wei army's attack had also just begun.

The first batch of Wei troops died under the dense halberds, and then the second batch of Wei troops came down.

As soon as the second batch of Wei troops came down, they were still pinned on the mound by the strong counterattack of the Han troops.

The halberd was torn and pulled out of the flesh, and the minced flesh was quickly washed away by the rain.

The Han army's third counterattack has not yet begun, and the more dense Wei army has already followed. They are like locusts in the sky, rushing over quickly.

Then he waved the Huanshou sword in his hand, and the blade struck the Han army's armor.

The sonorous sound was drowned by the roars of the Wei army and the Han army.

Before the Wei soldier could make a second blow, a Han soldier next to him drew his sword and stabbed him in the eye.

The knife came out from the back of the head.

The Wei army just grunted, was kicked out by the Han army, and was overwhelmed by the Wei army rushing up from behind.

"Kill all the Wei thieves!"

Strong shouts broke out in the Han army's formation.

They held long halberds and thrust forward with all their strength. They stabbed the Wei army's armor but could not kill the Wei army immediately.

Wei Jun rushed forward crazily.But it could not push the Han army.

More and more Wei troops came down.

Some Wei soldiers stepped on the corpses of their dead comrades.

Some even jumped down directly.

At this time, everyone's brains were blank and they were unable to think normally.

As a result, the two sides were crowded in this long and narrow space.

The sounds of weapons tearing at armor and chopping at bones were mixed with roars and desperate screams.

After an unknown period of time, the Wei troops in the vanguard died one by one.

The Han troops at the front had fallen several rows down.

The remaining people stepped on the pile of corpses and continued to fight.

The messenger quickly sent the information to Sima Yi's camp.

"Report to the Governor!"

"How's the battle going?"

"Our vanguard has not yet been able to overcome the Han army's defense!"

Sima Yi frowned slightly and launched the attack from the front. It has been half an hour now.

"Grand Governor..." Simpi on the other side hesitated to speak.

"The elite of the Shu army is not here!" Sima Yi's face darkened, "Every unit takes turns to fight! Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed!"

"As ordered!"

Xinpi's heart was always in suspense.

He felt that Sima Yi was making a huge gamble.

Now it is equivalent to a full-scale war between the two armies.

War can be easily started, but stopping it is not so easy.

If this battle fails, Luoyang will be furious.

Not to mention Sima Yi, Xin Pi was also to blame.

If they win, the Shu Kingdom will enter a countdown to its destruction. Xin Pi and Sima Yi will both advance to the next level.

"The Governor is so courageous." Xinpi calmed down and said calmly.

"Haha, I don't believe that the Shu army in the north can carry on forever!" At this point, Sima Yi looked towards the Wuzhangyuan on the other side of the sloping water.

In the mist and rain, Sima Yi vaguely seemed to see someone on Wuzhangyuan looking over here.

"The bridge over Xianshui has been broken, and Kong Ming's reinforcements can't get through. It's raining today, and God is helping me!"

Sima Yi continued to speak calmly.

"Okay, okay." Xinpi responded calmly.

Do these two people despise the Shu army so much?

of course not!

Sima Yi and Xin Pi were both calm and calm on the surface, but in fact they were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

No one can be sure that the decision they make is correct.

No one can be sure that he will win on the battlefield.

But at this time, they had to act calm and calm.

This is the most basic quality of a commander.

The battle in the north entered at noon, and the Wei army had already replaced the third batch, but still failed to break through the Han army's defense.

Although the Han army was strong, it was not easy for them.

After all, they are all living people, not steel.

At this time, the Han army scouts who were inspecting the surroundings hurriedly arrived at Jiang Wei's military camp.

"Report! General, the main force of the Wei army is attacking our northern military camp one after another! And it has been found that the Wei army's commander Sima Yi is in the north!"
