"Your Majesty, more than 2,000 of our Chu troops have successfully crossed the Yan River..."
On the south bank of the Yan River, the Chu army's messengers conveyed the latest news to Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu at any time.
"Well, well done." Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu nodded in praise, and then said seriously: "But this is not enough! Generals Ling Wugan and Shen Kang will suppress the Wei army and seize the north bank at all costs!"
In fact, even without this messenger, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu could clearly see the situation on the north bank of Yan River with his own eyes.
Although Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu has 60,000 Chu troops in his hands, in fact, only 20,000 to 30,000 people are actually lined up on the south bank of the Yan River at this moment. The rest of the Chu troops are arranged far behind, even on the other side of the river.
There is no chance to see the situation.
There was no way, after all, they were separated by the Yan River, which greatly reduced the convenience brought by the Chu army's numerical advantage.
The more than 2,000 Chu troops who had crossed the river were unable to stop the more than 5,000 Wei troops' infantry phalanx. What was even worse was that the weapons and armor of the Wei soldiers were generally one level better than those of the Chu troops. This made the Chu army clearly outnumbered.
had the upper hand, but the battle situation on the north bank of the Yan River put the Chu army at a disadvantage.
Wei's iron smelting technology is even better than ours...
Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu frowned because he noticed that the weapons of their Chu soldiers were often unable to cut through the armor of the Wei soldiers, but the spears in the hands of the Wei soldiers could pierce the Chu soldiers' armor almost every time.
, occasionally there are a few Wei soldiers armed with sharp blades, who can even cut off the Chu soldiers' weapons.
This is a disadvantage in terms of equipment.
If Wei's territory and population could match our Chu's, this battle would probably be difficult...
With a sigh in his heart, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu ordered in a deep voice: "Instruct Yu You to increase the intensity of suppressing the arrows on the north bank of Yan River!"
After hearing this, Zuo Zuo was stunned, and lowered his voice to remind: "Your Majesty, there are also soldiers from our Chu Kingdom on the north bank..."
Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu glanced coldly at the guard who spoke out, and immediately made the latter shut his mouth in a wise manner.
At this point, how can we still worry about inadvertently injuring our army?... If we fail to break through the Yan River today, won't we give the Wei army a victory in vain to help boost the morale of the army?... No matter what, we must completely defeat these Wei armies.
!
Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu's eyes flashed with determination.
In fact, at this time, the Chu general Yu You commanded his archers to use bows and arrows across the Yan River to suppress the Wei army on the other side, thereby covering the friendly troops who were gradually crossing the Yan River.
However, considering the possibility of accidentally injuring friendly troops, the arrows fired by his archers were not dense.
"Intensify the suppression?"
After learning Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu's general order from the messenger, Chu General Yu You's eyes suddenly turned cold.
With a wave of his hand, this time, thousands of archers on the south bank of Yan River raised their bows and arrows.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh——"
"Fire the arrow again!"
"Whoosh——"
At the command, arrows rained down from the north bank of Yan River.
The terrifying arrows, like a rainstorm, fell densely on the north bank of the Yan River. While killing many Chu soldiers, they also frightened the Wei soldiers who were preparing to counterattack.
"Those guys...are they crazy?"
A hundred-man general of the Wei army subconsciously signaled to his soldiers to suspend the charge towards the pontoon bridge, and looked at the open space in front of him in horror, which was more than ten feet long.
The open space was not originally an open space, because there were originally hundreds or even thousands of soldiers from the two soldiers fighting fiercely. However, after the terrifying waterfall of arrows attacked, there was only a pile of corpses left there, and
Many soldiers of the two soldiers who had not yet died were covered in arrows and fell in a pool of blood.
"Killing even your own people?"
Not far away, another hundred-man general of the Wei army opened his eyes in horror. Because in fact, the losses of their Wei soldiers just now were not serious. At most, more than two hundred people were hit by arrows. In contrast, the Chu soldiers who were hit by arrows
The number of people is three times that of Wei Bing!
"Don't stop!"
Chu general Yu You on the south bank of Yan River found that his archers were hesitant because they had shot one of his men to death, and shouted sharply: "Keep firing arrows! Suppress the Wei soldiers!"
"Swish swish——"
There was another shower of arrows.
"The arrows are coming again! Pay attention to cover!"
The hundred Wei soldiers who were at the front shouted loudly, signaling the Wei infantry under their command to raise their shields to guard against arrows.
But in fact, not many Wei soldiers were hit by arrows in this wave of arrows. Even some Wei soldiers who were affected by the arrows survived by virtue of the solid shields in their hands, but were shot in less fatal places such as limbs.
"Don't retreat!" Wu Wei Wang Shu shouted with all his strength: "Counterattack! Counterattack! Destroy the pontoon bridge! Destroying the pontoon bridge is our army's victory!"
"oh--"
The Wei infantrymen let out a burst of shouts and fought forward with all their strength, while the Chu soldiers on the opposite side also rushed forward regardless of life and death.
That "empty space" was once again filled with living life.
But not long after, another terrifying rain of arrows came from the south bank of Yan River, killing many unsuspecting soldiers of the two soldiers indiscriminately.
Seeing hundreds of casualties on his side, Wu Wei Wang Shu's eyes widened, but he still shouted desperately: "Kill! Kill over!"
This guy...
Zhao Hongrun frowned and glanced at Wu Wei Wang Shu, then turned to look in the direction of his Su Wang banner, Zong Wei Mu Qing and others.
At this time, Zongwei Mu Qing had already put on a luxurious brocade suit. Noticing Zhao Hongrun's eyes, he immediately retreated quietly with several Zongwei and the big flag of King Su.
You know, Zhao Hongrun's main flag of King Su was like a handsome flag at this time. Now that the main flag is retreating, how can the Chu army on the other side turn a blind eye?
"Your Majesty, that little Ji Run seems to be running away!"
The guards around Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu noticed this immediately and shouted happily.
"Okay!" Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu took a closer look, his face also showed a look of ecstasy, and laughed: "Children have no courage, he is actually afraid of this kind of battle situation... It is really a gift from God!" As he said,
He immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Quickly shout to the Wei soldiers to surrender."
This news spread from ten to ten, and within a short time many Chu soldiers heard about it, and they all shouted at the Wei soldiers.
"The son of King Su of your country has escaped. Why don't you surrender quickly?"
"Surrender quickly, I will spare you the chance to die!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of Chu troops covered the sky and the sun for a while, and immediately reached the ears of the Wei soldiers on the north bank of the Yan River.
What? King Su... actually escaped?
Countless Wei infantry looked at each other in disbelief.
For a time, the momentum of the Wei soldiers' counterattack came to a halt, and most of the Wei soldiers were a little overwhelmed and at a loss.
"How is that possible?!" Wu Wei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang looked at each other and turned their heads in horror. Sure enough, they found that King Su Zhao Hongrun had disappeared, and the flag of King Su had also been moved to the rear.
"That son of a bitch..." Wu Wei Wang Shu, who had a vulgar personality, cursed loudly, but before he could finish cursing, his voice suddenly stopped.
Because he was horrified and inexplicably discovered that Zhao Hongrun, who had changed his Zongwei armor, was standing behind him as a personal guard, looking at him coldly.
What...what's going on?
Wu Wei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang shrank their heads for some unknown reason and swallowed subconsciously.
"I will settle this account with you later." Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Shu coldly, took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Wang Shu and Ma Zhang, and whispered: "According to what is written on the paper,
shout out!"
"..." Wang Shu and Ma Zhang took the paper and took a look, with a strange look on their faces.
"What are you waiting for? Shout!" Zhao Hongrun stared and shouted in a low voice: "If you don't shout, our army will be defeated!"
Hearing this, Wu Wei Wang Shu trembled all over. After looking at Zhao Hongrun inexplicably, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't pay attention to that King Su. That kind of guy is greedy for life and afraid of death."
The commander-in-chief of our army?... Without him, our army can still stop the Chu army from doing this!"
"Think about Yanling behind us. Our parents, brothers, and sisters are all in the city. If we lose here, they will be killed by Chu Gou! ... Can you tolerate it, our relatives are killed by Chu Gou?
Killed by a sword? It would be better if there is no such thing as King Su. I, Ma Zhang, and Mr. Wu Wei Wang Shu will take over the command!...Brothers, are you willing to listen to my orders?!"
"..."
The bewildered Wei soldiers suddenly seemed to have found their backbone after hearing this, as if the disappearance of "King Su" and his banner had no impact on them.
Huh! This is a matter of course... These two men and Chen Shi have led this army for a long time and have repeatedly defeated the Chu army. It would be strange if their prestige in the hearts of the soldiers is not even as good as that of King Su, who deliberately downplays his existence.
Bar?
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Shu and saw that he looked happy and relieved because the soldiers had regained their fighting spirit, and he hummed twice without expression.
Immediately, he turned his attention to the Chu army on the other side.
But in this way, the Chu army's offensive should become even more crazy, right?
