Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 118 This Is Like an Army (Congratulations to the Pure Love Piglet Leader)

"what sound?"

In the rear of Liang Jun, Peng Yue, who had been resting on the shaft of the chariot, suddenly sat up.

General Hu Zhe listened intently for a moment, and replied, "Your Majesty, it seems that the rebels are shouting that I am the only one?"

"Great Chu?" Peng Yue frowned, and said, "Chu Army? Isn't that right, isn't Xiang Zhuang's son's Chu Army trapped in Qidi by Zhang Liang's ten-sided net?"

Until now, Peng Yue was still kept in the dark.

"Who knows?" Hu Zhe shook his head with a wry smile, "Maybe the rebels want to use the name of the Chu army to embolden themselves?"

"Using the name of the Chu army to be bold?" Peng Yue said coldly, "It's ridiculous, if this group of rebels can become as brave and good at fighting as the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang, then the [-] army of the widow can sweep..." Having said this, Peng Yue stopped abruptly, and swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.

While speaking, the chant sound became louder and clearer.

"In the great China, the rites are broken and the music is broken; to reorganize the rivers and mountains, I am the only one!"

"In the great China, the rites are broken and the music is broken; to reorganize the rivers and mountains, I am the only one!"

"In the great China, the rites are broken and the music is broken; to reorganize the rivers and mountains, I am the only one!"

In the end, the tens of thousands of rebels at Hulao Pass in front all howled, and the momentum shook the sky.

Peng Yue's bushy eyebrows became more and more frowned, and he immediately instructed Peng Ming, the lieutenant of the military academy, "Tell the former general Liu Kou to limit him to capture Hulao Pass before dark, and I don't want to hear the noise of the rebels."

"Promise." Peng Ming suddenly agreed, and immediately rode away.

##########
Ahead, Liu Kou's [-] elite troops have entered the attack range.

Liu Kou had already heard the sound of closing the overwhelming chants, but he didn't care at all.

All of a sudden, a fast horse came galloping from the rear. Before the people arrived, the voice had already spread from afar: "General Liu, the king has ordered you to capture Hulao Pass before dark!"

Liu Kou responded with a groan, before dark?Your Majesty thinks highly of these rebels too.

At this moment, an unexpected scene suddenly appeared on the front wall. A rebel army of about 500 people suddenly appeared behind the battlements. They held shields in their left hands and swords in their right. While roaring angrily at Liang Jun who was shut down, this group of damned rebels are actually provoking?

"Damn it!" General Chu Chun said fiercely, "These bastards are so tired of living!"

"Since they are all dying people, let them be arrogant for a while." Liu Kou snorted, and immediately raised his sword in the air and pressed it forward lightly. The pawns raised their big shields one after another, and continued to move forward. Behind the heavily armored pawns were five thousand archers.

"Oh..." Chu hummed loudly, and five thousand soldiers formed a defensive formation with shields and pillars.

The next moment, the [-] archers following behind the heavily armored soldiers unloaded their horn bows from their shoulders, untied the quiver from their backs, and took out the spiked arrows one by one. , and painstakingly inserted branches into the grass in front of my left or right foot for easy access.

Then, Liu Kou nodded heavily at Chu Chun, and Chu Chun drew his sword loudly and raised it above his head again.

In an instant, five thousand archers took their arrows and buckled them between their fingers, and then suddenly drew away their horn bows. The cold arrow clusters were aimed obliquely at the Hulaoguan wall a hundred steps ahead.

"Release the arrow!" The epee in Chu Chun's hand fell suddenly, and the five thousand archers let go of their bowstrings almost at the same time.

The next moment, a total of [-] spiked arrows flew into the sky with a whistling sound, and then drew a perfect arc trajectory in the air, and then gathered into a large endless rain of arrows, heading towards the guards. Chu Jun and Wei Di Minzhuang, who were locked in the Hulao Pass, fell viciously on their heads.

##########
The Hulao was closed, and the five hundred Chu soldiers and the small school of Chu army veterans had already raised their big shields, or had already hid behind the battlements. As a veteran who has experienced many battles, he would not wait The enemy's arrows have already poured down on the head before looking for cover. In that case, it will be too late.

The strong men in Wei didn't know that the god of death was howling towards them.

Although these strong men followed Chen Xi in Aocang and confronted Liang Jun for more than half a month, during that time, in order to get the corn in Aocang and hundreds of thousands of women and children, Liang Jun never launched a real attack at all. , Therefore, these Weidi strong men have never experienced the baptism of iron and blood in the true sense.

There was no veteran of the Chu army to remind them to hide or raise their shields.

In fact, every veteran of the Chu army was also a recruit. When they first joined the army, there were no veterans to remind them how to avoid the enemy's arrow rain and how to survive the cruel battlefield. The reason is very simple, the ability to survive, It is not taught by others, you have to learn it yourself, and you have to pay for it with blood!

This is war, cruel and cruel war.

This is not cold-blooded, because for an army, veterans are far more important than recruits!

No matter whether it is the commanding general or the small schools at all levels in the army, they will not allow veterans to take risks for the recruits. If the commanding generals and the small schools in the army were to choose, they would definitely choose to sacrifice ten recruits in exchange for the life of a veteran !Because the veterans are the backbone of an army, but the recruits... are only used to drain the enemy's spirit.

It was too late and then it was too soon, the endless rain of arrows had already slammed down towards the top of the city.

In an instant, there was a continuous wailing sound from the top of the city, and the strong men of Wei who stood on the top of the city in a daze fell down one by one, some were shot through the head and killed directly, some were shot Those who were shot in the thigh or arm screamed, and some were lucky enough to be shot in the bun, and then looked at the arrow feathers on the top of their heads in a daze.

However, most of the strong men were not injured, and they were still looking around ignorantly.

Five thousand archers sounds like a lot, but if it's just a round of throwing, it's not terrible.

If you are wearing iron armor or a large shield, you can basically ignore it. Even if you don't have iron armor or a large shield, as long as your luck is not too bad, it is difficult to be shot by flying arrows. Five thousand feathered arrows cover nearly five A large piece of city wall with a width of [-] meters is actually very low in density, and the probability of being shot is extremely small.

However, the projectile of Liang Jun's archers is not just one round.

Almost as soon as the first wave of arrow rain fell, the second wave of rain had already followed.

The man who was shot in the bun on the head just now was staring at the stupefied man with the feathers at the tail of the arrow. Before he even had time to taste the joy of escaping from death, he was shot through the throat by a mace arrow one after another. The young man The strong man's eyes widened in an instant, hissing air-conditioning in his mouth, and desperately wanted to raise his hands to pull out the feather arrow from his throat, but in the end he failed, and he fell down slumped after only raising his hands halfway. On the top of the city.

The tragic wailing sounded again from the top of the city.

After two rounds of throwing, at least 300 strong men from Weidi had fallen into a pool of blood, and at least a hundred of them were shot to the vitals and died directly or could not be saved. The remaining more than 300 people were only slightly injured. However, it is embarrassing enough for these more than [-] people to hold their heads up and let out hysterical screams.

When the third round of arrow rain from Liang Jun's archers fell, Wei Di's strong man finally reacted.

The heavy armored infantry raised their large shields one after another, and the unarmored light soldiers also hid behind the battlements one after another. Those who couldn't squeeze in behind the battlements also raised their swords and halberds one after another, and began to fight hard into the air. Of course, the strength of a single person is negligible, but hundreds of thousands of people wielding their halberds together are enough to knock down a large number of arrows.

Liang Jun's rain of arrows lasted for half a cup of tea until he shot a full bag of thirty arrows!
Suddenly, there was a low and desolate horn sound outside the Hulao Pass. Amidst the endless sound of the horn, Liang Jun's archers who had shot all their arrows began to retreat one after another. The Liang Jun light soldiers who had been waiting for a long time Then they carried dozens of simple long ladders and crushed them aggressively. After that, the two sides should meet hand to hand.

Jing Qian stood up slowly from behind the battlements, stood at the critical point and looked out, only to see thousands of Liang Jun light soldiers swarming from the front.

Suddenly, Jing Qian raised his horizontal knife and roared to the sky again: "Oh..."

This roar, especially the wolf king's long howl at the moon, immediately triggered a response from the wolves.

In an instant, five hundred light soldiers who were trapped in the battle stood up from behind the battlements, one by one raised their ring swords, slapped the big shield in their left hand frantically, roared wildly at Liang Jun outside the pass, and tried their best to provoke .

A few light soldiers even jumped onto the battlements, took out their crotches and poured water towards the outside of the pass.

The crazy provocation of five hundred light soldiers quickly received enthusiastic responses from nearly ten thousand strong men, and the strong men from Wei who had escaped from death also roared up to the sky, and those with swords and shields in their hands followed suit with their long swords. The big shield, who only had a halberd in his hand, stomped the end of the halberd on the bricks of the city wall, roaring with ferocious faces and veins all over their heads.

On the enemy tower, Huan Chu and Ji Bu couldn't help but look at each other, they looked like an army!
At critical times, veterans are the only ones who can help. If Jing Qian hadn't arrived in time with [-] soldiers trapped in the formation, they couldn't believe it, what would happen now?

When Liang Jun was in the rear, Peng Yue's brows became more and more frowned.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." The general of the rear army, Hu Zhe, also frowned, and said solemnly, "This momentum, this momentum, doesn't look like the group of mobs who escaped from Aocang, it doesn't look like it."

"So...is it really Chu Jun?" Peng Yue was also a little shaken.

Didn't it mean that the Chu army had been trapped in Qidi by Zhang Liang's net of ten sides?How could it be possible to suddenly appear at Hulao Pass?But if it wasn't Chu Jun on the opposite side, how could it be possible to have such momentum?If it is true that Chen Xi's tens of thousands of people have been shot down by a rain of arrows just now, even if they don't collapse, the morale of the army should also collapse, right?

Could it be... the King of Han has something to hide from Peng Yue?
