Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 1065: Rice Flower Fragrance Says Good Years (P

The bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow, is a new invention of Luban in recent years. He combined two or three bows together, which greatly enhanced the tension and strength of the crossbow. When the crossbow was stretched, the craftsmen of Zhao State used a thick rope to fasten the crossbow string to the winch. String, and the material officer will secure the giant arrow and adjust the distance. When the radiation is emitted, a solid soldier raises a large wooden hammer and slams the trigger!

With a loud "bang", the machine fired a string, and a giant crossbow with the thickness of a human arm was ejected, passing through a distance of two hundred and fifty paces, and in the middle of the dense Wu army array!

I didn't even have time to scream, and when others came back to their senses, there was only one unlucky ghost who was hit by a crossbow in the chest, and his whole body was torn to shreds, as well as a circle of wounded people next to him. The whole array looked like Ripped open by the beast.

All Wu people were stunned. Wang Sungu Cao lost his momentum and suffered a cardiac arrest. He suddenly realized that his experience had harmed him again, and he had actually led his soldiers into another trap.

I didn't have time to think about it, and the dense rain of crossbow arrows followed. Although the speed of winding the crossbow was much slower than that of the arm crossbow, it was better than the long range, and the crossbowmen could hide behind the phalanx and release arrows wantonly , Relying on the numerous crossbows, the most important thing is to suppress the enemy, and the accurate head is the second.

For a time, the front of the Wu State formation, which had no heavy armor or fortifications, was almost swallowed by arrows, and one after another was nailed to the paddy field. The people of Wu who had been shouting just now began to show timidity, and involuntarily stepped back. The scene of being shot to death by a crossbow was too shocking, and a normal crossbow machine could also tear the human body into pieces, and it would be a death to stand in front of it. .

However, Wangsun Gu Cao knew that once they turned around, the Zhao army on both flanks would cover up and kill them, and by then the only advantage of the Wu army would disappear, leaving them to be slaughtered.

He had no time to regret the raid. The main general of Wu State also stood in the paddy field. When everyone was about to retreat, he drew his sword and killed two panicked soldiers. Sing out...

Many people stopped, knocked on their shields with their swords, and sang along with Wang Sun and Gu Cao.

"What are they singing?" Ran Qiu noticed this change, and while planning a strategy, he tilted his head and asked the translator who was accompanying the army next to him.

The translator had a rough understanding of the Wu language, and he was also shocked by the situation in front of him. After a while, he said: "General, this is a funeral song, the funeral song of Wu State "Yu Funeral"..."

"The body is dead, and I will be buried in Shanyang..."

"He Weiwei in the mountains, and the sky in the sky..."

"Life has life and death has nothing to do with it. The soul comes back to see what the mountains are!"

The tragic and solemn "Funeral of Yu" made the brave Wu people forget life and death. Their generation grew up listening to the stories of their fathers. Twenty years ago, Wu people entered the state of Chu with Wu Wang Helu to attack the city and conquer the land. Duli has enjoyed the extravagant life he has dreamed of in this life, and this has become the most worthy of boasting to his sons and nephews in the following ten years. The golden agate everywhere and the beautiful beauties in the city make people fascinated. This time, the reason why the young Wu people were able to endure the heavy service of Fuchai and all kinds of starvation and hardships was not to enter Shangqiu and Qufu, and to relive the glory told by their fathers?

However, they slammed into a hard wall, and countless fellow villagers died in the small Tangyi, and fell into the paddy fields with arrow feathers all over their bodies. The blood of Paoze aroused their wildness, they were unwilling, they were angry, and they also shouted in unison!

"The body is dead, and I will be buried in Shanyang!"

More and more Wu people began to join the call sign team, as if this was the only way to vent their grief and anger. Under the call of "Yu Funeral", Wu Bing traced the footsteps of Wangsun Gucao, and rushed forward without fear of death, rushing to the densely formed enemy formation, and rushing to the bow that was hiding behind them and constantly harvesting life. crossbowman……

Fighting is also dead or not fighting. Desperate Wu people rammed into the enemy's spear with their own bodies, all the jade and stones were burned, and they perished together. This was a fight without defense at all. They just wanted to use their own bodies to meet the enemy's weapons. To exchange your own death for the other's life. For a while, a fierce melee broke out in the paddy field, blood and blood flew and screamed endlessly.

Looking at the scene in front of me, although the phalanx of the infantry stood still under the violent impact, the generals of Zhao Lu could not help but change their expressions. It is no wonder that the Wu army was invincible in the south. Crash down.

However, Ran Qiu sighed: "The family has a country and the country is mourned, and the soul returns to look at the family state... Brave, sad, it's a pity, these Wu people forgot that this is the state of Lu, not their family state. !"

For the soldiers of Zhao State, the feeling may not be deep enough, but for Ran Qiu and other Lu people, the Wu army's entry into Zou Lu this time was a naked plunder and invasion!

As Zhao Wuxi said to them, the only people who greet the bandits are swords and spears!

He raised the flag ruthlessly and said: "If China does not support the brigade, barbarians will enter the pirates, and all countries have their own borders. No matter how strong the dragon in the south is, it will never come to the north to show its power. We will pass this battle and let the people of Jiangnan. In the next 100 years, I will look north in a hurry and dare not cross Huaihuai for half a step!"

Under his order, another burst of powerful crossbow was released, and the arrows flew towards the battlefield. The dense arrows were like an airtight net, which completely caught the people of Wu who were as nimble as loaches in the paddy fields...

...

An hour later, this long battle was finally coming to an end. The long-awaited cavalry on the ridge rushed out of their nests and rushed towards the remnants of the fleeing Wu people. They galloped past, the sun shone on the tip of the spear, and survived the arrow rain. More than a thousand Wu people completely collapsed under their impact, like ceramics being beaten by a hammer.

Ran Qiu did not participate in the final massacre. He let the generals go to search the wounded, capture the prisoners, and let the military judge supervise the soldiers of the soldiers to take the heads of the Wu people in an orderly manner. He himself was sitting on the ridge, staring at the rice field that had been utterly ruined.

At the end of the battle, it was already evening, and the setting sun reflected on the paddy fields~lightnovelpub.net~ There were corpses covered with arrows everywhere. I don’t know if it was because of the sunset or because of blood. This vast paddy field was bright red, hiding. The toads and loaches in the mud came out after the movement stopped and swam in the blood.

Ran Qiu just held a straw that had not been stained with blood, and he didn't know what to think until his contemplation was broken.

"General, the cavalry caught these two from a few miles away."

Ran Qiu turned his head and saw that one was a middle-aged man in a state of embarrassment, and he didn't dare to look at him with his head down, and the other was a potbellied warrior with a beard, pointing at Ran Qiu and laughing loudly. The local dialect says:

"I really didn't expect that the boy Xibi who was with Zhongni back then is now a general who commands the three armies!"

Zhao Lu's generals were furious and wanted to kill these two people, but Ran Qiu stopped them, and after watching for a while, he said in surprise: "Gongshan Yizai?" And the person next to him was not his uncle. Who else could Sun Yi be?

ps: I can't make up the funeral song, so I borrowed Xia Yan Leisheng's "National Sorrow".
