The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The hundreds of infantrymen sent by Lü Bu were too far apart to see the flag clearly, so he didn't know who was taking the lead. The soldiers marched straight ahead, without any hesitation.

The speed of the infantry was slow, and the arrows shot by the strong crossbow were fast and powerful, so although they had shields to protect them, the hundreds of infantrymen of the Lu tribe were still hit one after another. Watching these hundreds of infantry marching forward, they are really marching on corpses and blood.

Of course, due to the distance, it was impossible for Xun Zhen and Sun Jian to see the casualties of these infantrymen, but they could be judged from the short-lived smoke and dust that kept rising, and they must have suffered no small casualties. There are earth bags to carry, or a pontoon car to push. Whenever someone falls to the ground, either a soil bag falls to the ground, or a pontoon car is dumped, and whenever the bag falls and the car falls, smoke and dust will rise.

Probably because Gao Shun's troops were in front of them, although the casualties were not small, this group of infantrymen did not move slowly despite the rain of arrows. After about two quarters of an hour, they had reached the ravine.

At the front of the ravine, the shield-hander at the front of the infantry raised his shield high to form a shield array, and then the rest of the infantry, under the protection of the shield array, swept into the gully and threw what they carried. Soil bags, and people pushing pontoon carts, tried to build the bridge over the ditch—but the bridge was not easy to build, because the soldiers in Huang Gai and Sun Ben’s camp saw the bridge approaching, and they kept firing rockets. Two rockets falling on the bridge may not cause a fire, but dozens or dozens of rockets falling on the bridge will inevitably burst into flames. Under the blow of the opposite crossbow bolts, these infantrymen of the Lu Bu have no chance of causing a fire. The ability to put out all these fires.

However, even if all the pontoon bridges could be burnt down, Huang Gai and Sun Ben would not be unable to stop the Lu Bu soldiers from attacking, because in addition to the pontoon bridge, the Lu Bu soldiers also carried soil bags, Huang Gai . The trench outside Sun Ben's camp is not very deep and narrow, and it is easy to fill a section of it with soil bags. Once filled, the Gaoshun part cruising around will inevitably attack the camp.

Along with Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, there were Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Sun He and other Sun Ying generals watching the battle on the watchtower.

Wu Jing said: "The pontoon bridge is just a bait for the Lu Department. It is to disperse the arrows of the soldiers of Gongfu and Boyang Battalion, so as to cover the rest of the soldiers who are on the ground to fill in the trenches."

Wu Jing is right, the pontoon bridge is really just a bait, but Huang Gai and Sun Ben have to swallow this bait, because if they don't swallow it, ignore these pontoon bridges, and when the pontoon bridges are erected, these pontoon bridges will help. The attack of Lu Bu's soldiers will be smoother.

Han Dang invited the battle and said: "Gao Shun's commander is trapped in the camp, the attack is very sharp, Gongfu and Boyang are poor, and the ravines are leveled, so they are bound to be in danger. General, you should immediately send troops to help Gongfu and Boyang. Raise five hundred soldiers, and rush to help them."

Sun Jian didn't turn his head, he continued to watch the battle, and said lightly, "When the battle begins, how can we come to help?"

"General, Gao Shun is very brave, Lu Bu and Xu Rong are watching from behind, and Hu Zhen's formation has already started to attack.

"Whether there will be any losses, you will only know when the blades meet!"

Seeing that Sun Jian was determined, Han Dang then stopped talking.

Xun Zhen sighed inwardly: "Wentai is really a tiger general in the battlefield. Huang Gai is nothing, but Sun Ben is his subordinate. Now his camp is surrounded by the enemy on both sides, but he can forbear and watch from afar for the sake of the overall situation. Ken immediately rushed to the rescue....Is it me? Zhongren is in the camp at this time? Will I go and save him? Or will I just sit and watch for the bigger picture, like Wentai?"

Xun Zhen asked himself, and he would, like Sun Jian, sit back and watch, instead of sending troops to rescue immediately.

Kindness is not in charge of soldiers. Since you have joined the army, then you must always have the consciousness of dying in battle when you go to the battlefield. You must be ruthless. There is no need to fight this battle.

In the air where Han Dang asked to fight, Lu Bu's infantry had already filled a gap.

After filling the gap, this group of infantrymen temporarily retreated to make way for the cavalry of Gao Shun's army to attack. Xun Zhen glanced from a distance and noticed that the number of these infantrymen was now sharp. It was originally about 400 people, but now it looks like there are only 200 or 300 people left. At least 100 people have been reduced. Some of these 100 people were killed or injured on the road, and some were killed or injured in the filling. ditch time.

Not every battle will have a lot of attrition. Sometimes a battle involving tens of thousands of people is fought, and the two sides may add up to at most a few hundred people. And this battle has just started, and the Lu Bu's infantry will be reduced. More than 100 people have been reduced. First, we can see the fierce arrows of the soldiers of Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp, and secondly, we can also see the soldiers of Lu Bu, at least the firm will of the elite soldiers.

The ravine has been leveled, and the next step must be the attack of Gao Shun's trapped camp.

Xun Zhen retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the casualties of Lu Bu's infantry. She held her breath and stared intently at Gao Shun's cavalry.

Sure enough, this cavalry force of several hundred people, led by the foremost military flag, first turned their horses around, galloping for a while in the direction away from the camp of Huang Gai and Sun Ben, that is, facing the main formation of Lv Bu and Xu Rong, and then turned around again. Just like when they first came, they began to charge towards Huang Gai and Sun Benying again, and as they ran, they gradually increased their speed, and their speed became faster and faster.

First turn back, gallop towards the main formation for a while, then turn back and gallop towards Huang Gai and Sun Ben Ying. attack.

Although they couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves running, and couldn't feel the trembling of the ground when hundreds of war horses galloped, the hundreds of cavalrymen of Gao Shun's army, under the guidance of a military flag, marched forward, braved the arrows, and galloped decisively towards the enemy camp ahead. Xun Zhen, Sun Jian and the others could imagine the demeanor of Jin.

Not only Xun Zhen, but Sun Jian, Wu Jing and others also held their breath.

At this moment, Shen Xiong's drums sounded again, and when everyone looked, they saw that the main battle drums of Lu Bu and Xu Rong were beating again.

This time, the sound of the war drums was different from the last time. Last time, it was slower. This time, it was very urgent. The interval between the drums was very short. excited heartbeat.

Wu Jing said in a low voice, "This is the drum of war."

Everyone looked at Gao Shun's department from afar, and saw that the hundreds of cavalry soldiers in this department called "Trapped Camp" were like an arrow that left the string. The gully, the dozen or so cavalry that took the lead at the front, without any pause, just held their spears and rammed directly into the camp gates of Huang Gai and Sun Ben.
