The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 214 A Feast for Crows ([-])
Following Yang Hu's order, the soldiers of the Jin army all shouted.Then they lined up neatly and began to slowly move towards Wu Jun's wooden wall.

The spear and shield soldiers held up their shields in front, forming several rows of dense shield arrays, although the shielding was not perfect.Behind this shield formation, there are seven or eight rows of archers with a large number of arrows on their backs.After the archers came the brigade of swords and shields and hatchets.This is the basic offensive mode of the Jin infantry.

Seeing the soldiers of the Jin army advance steadily, Lu Mu took a deep breath: "Archers get ready! Get ready~~~ Let go!"

Countless feathered arrows soared into the sky, and then formed a rain of arrows and fell quickly.In this first round of bows and arrows, most of them did not hit the enemy.But the white feathered arrow landed on the black beach, providing a good reference for the defender.

"Three hundred steps!" "Catapult, shoot!"

"250 steps!" "Archers, shoot!"

"Two hundred steps!" "Archer, three rounds of rapid fire!"

"150 steps!" "Archers, retreat after two rounds!" "Spear and shield soldiers move forward!" "Hey!"

After all, it was because of his family background. Although this was Lu Mu's first battle, he still commanded in an orderly manner.The Jin army over there is advancing steadily, and his orders here are also fast and accurate.On the short three-mile road, due to the proper command of the Wu army, the Jin army dropped a lot of corpses along the way.

But in war, how can people not die?Although the enemy's stone bullets and feather arrows had high aim along the way, they caused a lot of casualties to our side.But the formation of the Jin army did not see any confusion.After waiting, they walked to a place only fifty steps away from the wooden wall. The commander of the Jin army drew out his command saber and pressed forward fiercely. Then the soldiers shouted in unison and charged towards the Wu army's position!
The wooden wall of less than three meters did not cause much trouble to the soldiers of the Jin army, so they held up their spears.Or you can easily jump over with just one lift.But once you jump over the wooden wall, or when you are still in the air just now.What greeted them was often the other side's spears.

"Puff!" As countless spears were inserted into the flesh, muffled bangs resounded on the ground.Immediately afterwards, there was blood spurting wildly and wailing everywhere.This is the normal sound and scenery that should exist on the battlefield.

Relying on the large number of deaths of the first batch of soldiers who climbed the wall, when the Wu army's ambush temporarily slowed down, the second row of soldiers of the Jin army crossed the wooden wall relatively smoothly, and began to fight head-on with the Wu army.

"Very good! Going up! The archers lined up and spread towards the distance of about thirty steps behind Wugou's wooden wall, blocking Wugou's reinforcements to the wooden wall!"

"Huh!"

"It's really elite!" After cutting down a Jin army's gun and shield soldier with a knife, Lu Mu stepped onto the wooden wall with a stride and hurriedly glanced outside: "Trebuchet, prepare to shoot another round! Knock down the wall thirty steps away. enemy archers"

Alas, the order is quite right, but it is really difficult to execute - the lever trebuchet, since the length of the lever is fixed, lacks a pulley to adjust.Therefore, its attack range is often fixed.At this time, we need to readjust the attack distance...

"Hey!" Seeing from a distance, the trebuchet team on our side was still in a panic and busy pushing the heavy trebuchet back.Lu Mu shook his head, jumped down from the wooden wall again, swung his knife and slashed another Jin army soldier, he shouted again: Lu Jiajun, form a shield formation!

Lu's private soldiers are the elite trained by Lu Meng himself.Over the past few decades, the older generation of soldiers withdrew, but the new generation of soldiers still accepted the battle formation method left by Lu Meng.Following Lu Mu's order, more than 1000 private soldiers of the Lu family near the battlefield quickly approached, and then the iron round shields were stacked together, quickly completing the combination of the shield array.

In front, soldiers from the Central Army of Soochow relied on this wooden wall to intercept and kill soldiers from the Jin Army.After the shield formation was formed in the middle, those Jin soldiers who crossed the wooden wall were also strongly blocked.Moreover, with the protection of the shield array, the support troops behind Soochow also quickly approached, and for a while, the thickness of the defender's troops reached a quite objective level.

Gradually, the soldiers of the Jin army were pushed to the inside of the wooden wall, and then slowly pushed out of the wooden wall.And as the catapults on the Soochow side adjusted their positions, when they started firing stone bombs again, the Jin archers, who were able to provide long-range support for their own infantry at first, were also completely suppressed.

"Hey, you can't fight like this!" Yang Hu, who was supervising the battle in the rear, shook his head: "The archers retreated a hundred steps and shot to hold their positions. Then Ming Jin retreated!"

"promise!"

……

It was late at night, and the big tent of the Jin army was brightly lit. Headed by Wang Hun, all the senior officers of Jin's expedition this time gathered together.

"General Yang Lie, today's battle situation is like this. Generally speaking, our army is separated from the Wu army by a tidal flat that is three miles wide. Therefore, heavy siege equipment such as trebuchets and siege towers cannot be put into use. Our army has no choice but to use The method of ants attacking the city. It is not difficult to cross the wooden wall, but the Wu army behind the wall should be the private soldiers of the Eastern Wu families this time. As long as the patriarch does not retreat, he will fight to the death. It is very difficult. In addition Due to the limitation of the tidal flats, our army has insufficient troops to attack at one time, so once the Wu army has withstood the first wave of our army's attack, our army's follow-up attack will be very weak... In short, today is the last general who failed. Please punish the general."

"Well, uncle has worked hard, this is not your problem. There is a saying in the art of war, five times to attack, ten to surround. Our army's strength is already insufficient for the opponent, and it is normal that we will not be able to attack for a while."

"Thank you, General, for your understanding."

"Then next, I will prepare to adjust the deployment. Please refer to the generals for details."

"I'll wait for the general to show me."

"Well, everyone. In fact, our army is not superior in strength, and there is such an annoying tidal flat on the opposite side. Therefore, what I mean is to divide the strength into four parts. The first part, 2 troops, will be requested by the general. The main task is to concentrate superior forces and attack the enemy's point. The second part, led by Ziyu (Xu Cong), mainly consists of [-] reinforcements from Luoyang. Your task is to move to Yidao, [-] miles southeast of Xiling The north bank of the city. In the third part, Xuanwu led the army with [-] troops. Your task is to bluff and lay planks on the mudflats to force those Wu dogs to spread the defensive troops thinner. In the fourth part, the uncle led the army with the same strength. Wan. Your task is to lead the army to the south and attack the enemy's Jiangling City!"

"Wonderful! General. According to Jinzuo Cao's report, the entire army of Wugou's Jingzhou Army is now gathered under Xiling City, and Jiangling City is almost empty. If we now assume the posture of going south to Jiangling, the enemy will We must divide our troops to rescue them!"

"That's not the only way. The general first sent Ziyu to ambush on the north bank of Yidao. If the enemy is going to rescue Jiangling, that's the only way to go!"

"Good! General Xuanchong is indeed a famous general in the world!"

"Hehehe, hey, uncle, you are frowning there, but what do you think?"

"Uh, forgive me, General. Yang Hu was wondering if the enemy would..."

Yang Hu's original intention was to ask whether the enemy would completely ignore Jiangling and just attack Xiling.But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a guard who hurried into the big tent: "Generals, something is wrong, Wu Dog attacked at night!"

"Ah? How is it possible? How could they cross that beach in the middle of the night?"

"Don't talk about it, all the generals will return to the headquarters immediately. The commanding soldiers must not panic, and rely on the camp to hold on to the spot. If the enemy retreats, they must not pursue them! The most important thing is to keep an eye on the food and grass in the rear of our army!"

"As ordered!"

The night attack that night was launched by the Lu family's private soldiers led by Lu Kang.

Compared with the private soldiers of the generals of the Huaisi faction who are good at battle, the soldiers of the Jiangdong family are obviously better at water warfare.When fighting on tidal flats other than water battles, the private soldiers of the Lu family also have their own unique weapons - mud sleds.

Although the Chinese in this era are not very clear about the relationship between pressure and pressure.But the IQ of the ancients was not low-foot stuck in the mud, right?Then if I use a wooden board under my feet, won't it be impossible to sink?
But this only solves the problem of foot traps.So how to move fast in the mud?Easy to do, based on this board, add an upright wooden handle as a handle on the board.Then people hold the handle with both hands, step on the wooden board with one foot, and force the other foot toward the oblique rear of the mud floor-this is the ancient mud skateboard.

Relying on such a tool, the Lu family's private soldiers quickly crossed a tidal flat and circled to the rear of the Jin army's camp.A sneak attack was successfully launched.

Fortunately, Wang Hun, as a general who has been in Jingzhou for a long time, still has basic military qualities.He quickly issued the correct order.After a short period of panic, the Jin army camp quickly stabilized.Then, relying on our own camp, we launched a powerful counterattack against the sneak attacking Wu army.

"Hey, the enemy general is not an ordinary person." Seeing the Jin army's counterattack became more and more powerful, Lu Kang also lost the mood to fight: "How many camps of the enemy army have been set ablaze by our army now?"

"Going back to the master, we set fire to more than 70 camps on the southernmost side of the Jin army. But the master, the northwest wind is blowing tonight, so the fire cannot be started at all."

"Hehehe, this general doesn't have the ability to control the weather like Zhuge Kongming. Forget it, let's withdraw."

"promise!"
