Chapter 247 The first round
The car was like a moving arsenal. There were three shields on the left hand, and a bow and a pot of arrows were tied under each shield; there were two long halberds and a big axe in the right hand, and three stringed crossbows were tied to the shaft of the halberd. The crossbow chute had been placed on the chute of the crossbow. The design of crossbow arrows was poured out of Zhao Wu's new idea.
In front of the wide car, Yu Rong was wearing heavy armor. The armor was very thick and Yu Rong could hardly stand up. In order to control the horses in Panbo Mountain, most Yu Rong would use a bundle of fur ropes to tie themselves firmly to their seats. The armor on their bodies covered them tightly from head to tail, and even the eye holes were exposed only two pigeon egg-sized parts.
The right hand of the car in Zhongxing Wu was responsible for the long attack. He was wearing light armor and a narrow and long shield tied to his arms, like a shuttle. He held a bow in his hand and a crossbow at his feet. Near the right hand of the car, there were many bundles of arrows standing vertically. In addition, there was a giant shield inserted at the backrest of Yurong in front of the car. This giant shield could cover Zhongxing Wu's body from the battle.
There were several short-handled weapons under the giant shield, including spare arrows, replaced halberd heads, and short-handled nail hammers. Wu of Zhonghang checked the equipment on the vehicle one by one in the vehicle, then turned his head and said hello to the command car on the right. The person in the command car nodded and beat the big drum in the vehicle.
The drums rumbling, and the Jin army began to step on the spot. When the soldiers' pace was consistent, there were only clear rhythmic footsteps left in the whole world. Si Hu swung the hammer in his hand and knocked Cai on the chariot. With the clear metal sound, Wu Weiwei leaned forward in the hand of the halberd in his hand, and his Yurong swung the horse whip and whipped a whip in the air. The Jin army moved.
The Chu army entered the battlefield with one chariot and one chariot. They only took one chariot into place after it was placed. The rest of the chariots were gradually taken at a certain distance. The Jin army moved as a whole. Wu from the Bank of China led a reorganized army, five divisions and twenty-five brigades of the Shang army to enter the battlefield at the same time. The twenty-five military flags shook in the wind. The entire huge square formation of the Jin army was like Mount Tai, with the usual domineering aura of the Jin people, and the arrogant and arrogant entry of the designated position. The drums and trumpets stopped, and the battlefield was silent. The wind blew the military flags and made the sound of puffs. This monotonous sound actually added to the silence atmosphere. The silence was so stressful that it made people breathless.
The Chu army was a little at a loss. The Chu army, who had been defeated in succession, met the fierce Jin people. They were thinking about who should be the first, and Wu Zuo of the Central Bank. He couldn't wait for the Chu army to take the lead to beat the attack drums, and directly rushed to the Chu army on the chariot to raise their own halberds. The Jin army's horn drums suddenly sounded.
The first drum sounded, and the Jin army was suddenly filled with blood. Twenty-five military flags advanced together. Twenty-five drummers beat the drums hard. Behind them, the rest of the Jin army responded to their attack with horns. For a moment, birds flew in a panic and the river changed color.
The chariot of the Central Bank Wu moved. The chariot of the Central Bank Wu, who was used to fighting, did not run with all his strength from the beginning like a young man with a boiling blood. He took back the halberd, clamped the halberd with his armpit, reached out to take off a large shield from the chariot, supported his body with the shield surface, and also supported the halberd pole, and shouted at his Yurong calmly: Keep it easy and follow the rhythm.
The Jin army was launched slowly. This was a direct attack. The first one was the Jin chariot. The first one was five chariots. Wu Juzhong, the two people driving the chariots on the left and right were also famous warriors from Jin. They imitated Wu of the Zhongjian, and they supported the shield with one hand and the other with a halberd rod in their other hand. They followed the chariot without panic.
The drums were getting faster and faster, and the Jin army's advance was also accelerating. Later, the Jin army's chariots entered the range of the Chu army. Wu of the Central Army continued to walk with his armpits and freed up his hands to put down his face armor.
Let’s talk about facial armor. The Chu people are best at making various forms of exaggerated facial armor. The most famous one is the Chu Mountain Ghost-faced armor. This mask is exaggerated. The real one is green-faced and fangs, and looks ferocious. When Wu put the lower armor in the middle school, the Chu army opposite also put down his mask. The young master surrounded the chariot and waved his long halberd. The Chu archers around the chariot raised their long bows and began to shoot with arrows.
Facing the Chu army's bows and arrows, the Jin army did not change the rhythm of its marching at all. They still stepped on the drums and approached the Chu army step by step. At this time, the Chu army, which was also advancing, had to wait for the archers to move. They paused a little, and after a few breaths, the young master surrounded the opposite side, waving the battle halberd, shouting loudly: "Shot the arrow."
With the sound of locks, tens of thousands of Chu troops let go of the bowstrings. The arrow shaft rushed into the air, and the sky suddenly darkened. Then, the sound of flying arrow feathers in the sky and the earth was filled with the sound of arrow feathers. Amid the roar of arrow feathers, brigade commanders at all levels in Jin State blew the whistle in their mouths. With this whistle, the Jin army raised their shields, while the rest of Jin State infantry put down their masks and lowered their heads slightly.
The arrow feathers fell down, and there was a crackling sound. It seemed as if the rainstorm was splashing on the pond. Many Jin soldiers had more arrows, but most of them were blocked by shields, or they bounced on the armor of Jin people and fell to the ground. Several unfortunate people were shot to the vital points by bows and arrows. They covered their wounds and arrived without saying a word. Then, the Jin army in the back row took two steps, made up for the vacant place left by the wounded soldiers, and continued to advance with the drum beats.
The car in Zhongxing Wu picked up the crossbow at his feet. He supported the shield with one hand. Sixteen aimed with the crossbow, pulled the trigger, and shot the arrow at Gonghua. It was clear that Tian Xiao did not hit Gongziwei. At the same time, Zhongxing Wu raised his shield gently and blocked the arrow from Gongziweiwei.
The two armies continued to advance, and the two armies continued to shoot. They went back and forth, tilting the arrow rods towards each other. The upper army of Jin State wore a new type of plate-like early, and the forefront of the Chu army wore a group-training armor. This group-training armor, which was covered with iron sheets, was equivalent to the later fish-scale armor, or similar to the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty. Its biggest feature was that it was very heavy. The elite troops of the two armies had almost the same protection ability. A series of shooting back and forth seemed to cause little damage to the other party.
The two sides were approaching. Zhongxing Wu could already see every scale on the young master's body through the hole in the face armor. At this time, the young master rushed towards Zhongxing Wu and swung his long halberd, as if he was planning to peck Zhongxing Wu with the horizontal branches on the halberd. Seeing the young master's action, Wu Qiang Wu's face was hidden in the face armor and smiled sinisterly at the young master. Zhongxing Wu, who was always full of aristocratic atmosphere, always paid attention to the etiquette of the battlefield in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the old aristocratic Zhongxing Wu, who always upholds justice, stretched his feet and hooked up a crossbow with a good string. He smiled at the young master and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The young master was scared and sweated. He never expected that the old orthodox soldier Zhongxing Wu, who had always been orthodox, would use the assassinator's weapon in a head-on confrontation. At this time, he had swung his long halberd, opened his chest, and faced Zhongxing Wu. The distance between the two sides was short, so that the crossbow arrow could be inserted into the young master's chest as soon as it left Zhongxing Wu's bowstring. The matter was urgent. The young master's car swung the shield on the right. He thought it was not enough to do so, Li Xuan fitted and pounced on the young master's car, wanting to use his body to cover the young master's car, but the right body of the car moved, and Zhongxing Wu's car also moved. He picked up the crossbow with a good string earlier than Zhongxing Wu, and the other party's car moved the right. Taking advantage of the gap when the shield was exposed, Zhongxing Wu's car pulled the trigger on the right.
A sharp pain came, and a wooden thorn grew from the throat of the young master's car. The matter was urgent. He threw out his shield without thinking. The shield flew towards the young master. In the air, with a thunder sound, the arrow shot by Zhongxing Wu arrived. The powerful crossbow arrow was deeply stuck on the leather shield, and the shield hit the young master's pole with the shield.
This is not over yet. In the long-range battle between the two sides, their chariots were relatively close to the range covered by the Yurong Long Whip. Yurong, who was in the Zhongxing Wu, was quick to use the military qualities of a Jin veteran, pulled out a whip like lightning, and the whip twitched the eyes of the other party's war horse. With a loud whip flower, the young master jumped up in shock. The young master stood firmly in the chariot, and his hands were flying in the air to try to grab the shaft. At this time, the Zhongxing Wu had already thrown away his shield. He held the halberd pole in both hands and thrust hard towards the young master.
There were all kinds of accidents on the battlefield. Wu of the Central Bank was sure to win, but unexpectedly, he was disturbed by the opponent's war horse. The horse, whose eyes were injured, jumped around suddenly ran horizontally, and with the chariot surrounded by the young master, the tip of Wu of the Central Bank passed through the young master's nose. The sharp tip of the halberd collided with the armor, and a slight squeak was made.
Yu Rong, who was surrounded by the young master, also moved. The long whip in his hand was pulled away, and the tip of the whip was pinched in his hand. Then, he used the whip rod in his hand to poke Zhongxing Wu hard. Zhongxing Wu was stunned by the opponent's movement. In a blink of an eye, he felt that the front end of the opponent's whip rod was actually flashing with metal light. That thing was not a whip rod, and there was clearly a piece of gun stab in front of the whip rod.
Both sides were moving the chariots. The arrow was stabbed by the car surrounded by the young master. When the whip was swung out, the two sides were very close to each other. When he completed this action, the chariots of both sides interlaced. The chariots around him had no time to change the direction of the attack. His hand loosened, loosened the whip tip, hovered in the air, and swung the tail of the whip. The whip was thrown away, and both sides passed by. Of course, if the coachman's whip really threw something on his whip, he might suffer even more, because for the people of Jin, the short knife that was carrying was already a tableware, which was a must-equipped device. Once his whip tip was grabbed by the people of Jin, it was very likely that he would be pulled off the chariot by the people of Jin. The best encounter was that the whip was cut off by the short knife of Jin.
The chariot was galloping. Yu Rong, surrounded by the young master, unbuttoned the reins of the horse and let the casualty go. Then, he jumped off the chariot and pushed the wheels to turn the direction of the chariot. On the other hand, Yu Rong of Wu of Zhongzhan was about to move his body. Wu was already shouting in the car: Go forward, strive forward.
Hearing this order, Yu Rong swung his whip and drove four war horses to the next front of the Chu State. At this time, Wu of the Central Bank stood on the chariot, swung a four-meter long halberd, started work left and right, and tried his best to drive the infantrymen of the war group to which Gongziwei belonged. On the chariot, Gongziwei, the seriously injured Che You tried his best to stabilize his body. The blood flowing from his body had dyed half of the carriage red. The brave Che He held the wound on his neck with one hand and pointed at the back of Gongziwei with the other hand. He tried his best, and a whimpering sound came from his throat, reminding Gongziwei to pay attention.
At this time, the chariot of the young master had been turned ninety degrees and was crossing the battlefield. But the young master in the chariot had turned his body toward Zhongxing Wu. While he was swinging his halberd and fighting with the infantry in the chariot group of Zhongxing Wu, he repeatedly urged Yu Rong to switch the chariot as soon as possible.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots were moving fortresses. Not to mention that the chariot itself could achieve high movement relative to the infantry, just standing on the chariot and being condescending, Youping could have more than his fellow soldiers. He urgently asked the chariot to turn to chase Wu Zhongxing, but the reminder of seriously injured Che You made the young master surrounded him. When he turned around, he immediately burst into cold sweat.
The chariot was huge, and three people had to carry many weapons on the chariot. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was very difficult to move the chariot without axles and bearing systems. Therefore, the chariot at this time was simply dragged by four horses, and two cows were needed to pull the chariot slowly forward. However, the chariots of the Jin people obviously exceeded the imagination of Gongziwei. The chariots driven by Wu from Zhongxing had just rushed into the second formation of the Chu army, and the second-line chariots of the Jin people came up. Only the chariots of Jin's chariots were heard uniformly rippling sounds. The road they drove past the straits, and the wheels of the Jin army drove past the straits, and they jumped skillfully, and rushed to Gongziwei with a light breeze.
The right car surrounded by the young master fell down. At this time, he fell down to reduce the weight of the body. The right car flipped off the chariot clumsyly and rushed towards an infantry in the group of chariots. However, the infantry flashed easily and passed the chariots surrounded by the chariots. As if the chariots here did not exist, they continued to advance blindly, the second line of the Jin army was closely connected behind Wu in the middle of the journey, and rushed to the second front of the Chu army. The chariots on the chariots gently bowed to the chariots to pay tribute to the chariots when they passed by the chariots.
The second-line chariots of the Jin army advanced very quickly. When they passed by the group of chariots where the young master was surrounded, some soldiers on the chariots occasionally took the Chu army with their long halberds and pecked at the passing Chu army with their long halberds. However, if the Chu army did not resist and disperse, they would turn a blind eye to these Chu troops.
The chariot surrounded by the young master had turned direction. A nearby Chu army chariot saw the chariot on the chariot, and the figure on the right of the chariot had disappeared. The soldier shouted and called on his group of chariots to move closer to the chariots and prepare to rescue the chariots. It was fine if he didn't move, but after he moved, two chariots of the Jin army attacked from left to right. Two chariots on the chariot swung their long halberds and poked at the combatants on the chariot. The chariots were shot two arrows in a row. Unconsciously, their armpits were hooked by the horizontal branches on the stern of the Jin army's halberds, and their bodies were immediately taken out by the galloping chariot and flew to the high altitude.
The third throne of the Jin army attacked again in the blink of an eye. At this time, the group of first-front chariots led by Gongziwei were basically dispersed. The chariots either capsized or the hiking soldiers had been killed. Two or three chariots of Jin State attacked them. The sharp long halberds harvested the soldiers on the chariots. Only the chariots where Gongziwei was located seemed to be ignored. The soldiers of Jin State passed by Gongziwei, and the soldiers passing by bowed and paid tribute to Gongziwei, and then followed Zhongzhan Wu without hesitation and joined the massacre of Chu soldiers.
Judging from the location where Zhao Wu is, the location where Gongzi is is like a rock. The soldiers of Jin State are like a tide. The tide flows to the rock, naturally separated. The soldiers of the Chu army surrounding Gongzi were holding the weapons in their hands in a daze, watching the tide flowing past, but they did not dare to use the weapons in their hands to stop the flow of the tide.
Commanding the car dagger, the king of Wu, Yu Mei stomped his feet. Sigh: The young master of Chu is now like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. Just twist it gently with his hand, you can break the chicken's neck. Why don't your superiors order the soldiers to attack? At this time, what other noble etiquette are you talking about?
Zhao Wu sat in the chariot, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and replied softly: I led the army to the south for thousands of miles, just to want the Chu army to mobilize many people to pay my salary. Wu of the Bank of China did the right thing. No matter what, we cannot kill the person who paid the payment and signed the bill. The person who paid the payment. Who would I ask for this salary from?
Yu Mei rolled his eyes, rolled his eyes and said to himself: At this moment, the marshal of the overlord country seemed like a profiteering businessman counting copper coins.
After a pause, Yu Mei refuted: The only one who can decide to pay the salary in Chu State seems to be the King of Chu.
Zhao Wu nodded as expected: I know. The only one who can decide the State of Chu is the King of Chu, but it would be better if there is more person to pay the bill?
At this moment, Zhao Wu despised: This guy from Wu is still a monarch, and he felt like a slave owner in the Central Plains. He didn't know what a feudal battle of conquest was. I traveled thousands of miles to lead the army here, not to show off my power, but to conquer. No one paid for my war, so I was too lazy to fight.
The army of Jin State attacked the Chu army with a tide like a tide. Wu of the Central Bank perfectly fulfilled his promise before the war. The formation of the fierce attack and the rhythm of the attack. The waves of Jin State soldiers made the Chu people breathless. On the top of the city, King Kang of Chu looked at the violent attack of the Jin people in amazement. The viewers were not only King Kang of Chu, but the second-generation officials of Chu were all on the walls of Yundu, watching the Yanhuang Group's army. He swept the Chu army on the battlefield with a fierce rhythm and unstoppable movement.
The young master who went deep into the enemy's back fence and returned to the car. In order to reduce the weight of the car, he had to discard all the spare weapons on the chariot. Knowing that the Jin people maintained a noble demeanor and would not attack his king's younger brother, the young master simply threw away his shame, took off his armor, and let the chariot carry it completely lightly. Then he drove the chariot in panic. He magically passed through the entire fierce battlefield without any damage, and entered the capital in a restless manner.
