Shen Tianzi's face changed and he shouted: "How can we withdraw now? We haven't fought enough yet. At this moment, the enemy has lost their spirit and retreated temporarily to rotate. We can just get some rest and continue fighting in rotation. Let's talk again. , we are the last line of defense in front of the Commander-in-Chief’s Chinese Commander’s Platform. If we withdraw now, the enemy’s cavalry will march straight into the Chinese Commander’s Platform, and the Commander-in-Chief and the entire army will be at great risk!”
Shen Yunzi sighed: "The enemy's attack just now already had an advantage. Our army is mostly light soldiers and sharp soldiers. They are faster and braver, but they generally lack heavy armor. This kind of stalemate is not our advantage. , for most of an hour, we were forced back more than 300 steps, but the enemy took the initiative to retreat and change formations at this time. This means that they must have a strategy that can cause us more damage. If they do not retreat at this time, , I’m afraid we will suffer a big loss!”
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qingzhi on the side suddenly shouted: "Second brother, look, the commander-in-chief has sent an order!"
Shen Yunzi's expression changed and he turned to look at the commander's platform in the center. He saw three black flags waving in the wind. Under the commander's platform, flags were already fluttering. Armored sergeants were running back and forth in formation. Apparently, the battle was about to begin. Massive mobilization took place.
Shen Tianzi murmured: "The commander really wants us to withdraw our troops."
Shen Yunzi said without hesitation: "According to the general's military order, the shield bearers and crossbowmen were cut off to guard the formation, and the heavy armored crossbowmen accompanied them for protection. The swordsmen evacuated first."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Tianzi and said in a deep voice: "Lao San, you have been fighting a bloody battle in front of you, and the consumption is too great, so don't cut off the rear. I will command the retreat."
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "Second brother, you are the commander of the rear army. How can you cut off the rear army yourself? Let me do it. I still have strength. As long as you give me a good knife, I can..."
Shen Yunzi patted Shen Tianzi on the shoulder: "Okay, Third Brother, your losses in this battle are as great as our Wu soldiers' losses. Don't be impulsive and withdraw with your brothers. That's what you have to do." After returning to the central army, I will no longer be useful as the commander-in-chief of the rear army. All the troops will be under the command of the commander-in-chief, and it is time for me to contribute."
While they were talking, they heard a rumbling sound from the opposite side. Everyone looked around and saw the soldiers in the front row of the other side holding up shield-tipped crossbows scattering to both sides, while more than twenty sword-and-shield carts, Pushed by more than 300 armored soldiers, they rolled over the corpses on the ground and pressed forward slowly but firmly. As these sword and shield carts advanced, all the Yan Army armored cavalry began to cheer and rhythmically While hitting the armor on his body and the shield in his hand with his weapon, he shouted loudly: "Crush, grind, grind!"
The Yan Army crossbowmen who had just dodged to both sides jumped on these sword and shield carts. Those large sword and shield boards could just cover their entire bodies. They only stretched their riding crossbows on these boards, dozens of them. The repeating crossbow with cold light was pointing directly at the shield wall thirty steps away on the opposite side.
Shen Yunzi's expression changed, and he said sternly to Shen Tianzi, Shen Linzi, and Shen Qingzhi: "Retreat quickly, this is an order!"
Shen Linzi gritted his teeth: "There is actually a cart with a knife and a cart on the opposite side. Second brother, it's too dangerous here. Why don't we run together?"
Shen Yunzi shook his head: "Absolutely not. The enemy has cavalry. If we turn around and run away at this time, they will chase us all the way. Only by retreating in formation can most of the people evacuate safely. You go quickly!" Don’t waste your time!”
When he said this, he turned back to the soldiers behind him and said in a deep voice: "All the shield bearers come forward. The first row will support me with two shields. Put the long arm on the shield and retreat slowly. If the enemy is Come forward and force us to retreat, no pursuit, no bows and arrows, all those without armor will evacuate immediately!"
As his order was issued, the front began to rotate rapidly. The heavily armored man stepped forward to take the shield, and then set up another shield inside the shield, with two thick shields stacked on top of each other. , more than half a foot wide, and the warriors without armor and light armor retreated one after another. Hundreds of long sticks were placed on the upper edges of these shields, or stretched out from the gaps between the shields. Suddenly, Let the front line facing the enemy become an indestructible line of defense.
Shen Linzi nodded, pulled Shen Tianzi and ran back. Shen Qingzhi sighed and saluted to Shen Yunzi: "Second brother, don't force yourself. The commander-in-chief will not ignore us. He will definitely We will send troops to help as soon as possible to deal with these knife carts."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of rude Xianbei roars from the Yan army. Dozens of large crossbows fired at the same time, making a sound like exploding beans on the shield. You could even see some bright arrows. The sharp point penetrated the two layers of shields and directly penetrated the inner surface of the second layer of shields. This shows how powerful this power is. Even the heavily armored soldiers holding the handles inside the shields could clearly see their hands. Trembling violently, the officers on the front line issued a flurry of commands: "Steady, steady!"
Shen Yunzi said loudly: "Stabilize the line. Every time the enemy fires, take ten steps back. Watch your steps and don't mess up!"
Jin Army, Central, Shuaitai.
Liu Yu looked calm and looked at the three generals standing in front of him who were sweating profusely and had dust on their faces. They were black and white. Each of them was holding a big bow in their hands. They were not Zhu Lingshi. Xu Chite and Mao Dezu?
Liu Yu nodded: "You have performed very well and completed the tasks I assigned very well. Now go and have a good rest and drink some water. There will be a fierce battle in a while."
Mao Dezu said in a deep voice: "Commander, we are not hungry and we do not need to rest. The war is so urgent now. How can we rest like no one else? Please give us a new order and let us go into battle to kill the thieves!"
Xu Chite followed up and said: "That's right, Brother Mao is right, Marshal, the Shen brothers can't stand it anymore. They push a knife cart like this and force and shoot at the same time. When have we ever fought with such cowardly and passive people?"
The battle!"
While he was talking, there was a sound of a powerful crossbow fired from a few hundred steps away, followed by several shattering sounds. Several shields were cracked, and the sergeant behind the shield was also hit by a crossbow in the front and fell to the sky.
The sergeants quickly continued to move forward with their shields to fill the gap. The hundreds of Yan troops in front of the cart took the opportunity to rush towards the gap that had just appeared, trying to force their way in, but they were blocked by dozens of long branches around them.
In the end, they were forced back, but the Jin army's shield array was still slowly retreating. Seeing that it was less than 300 steps away from the Chinese army's command platform, the Yan army shouted in unison.
, and it became more and more clear: "Crush, grind, grind!"
