Chapter 621 Counterattack (1)

At this time, Zhou Anguo also felt a little tired. He looked at a straw hut on the shore not far away, so he walked to the straw hut, took off his armor, and ordered: "I'll take a nap at some point, please watch for me for a while." After that, he closed his eyes and lay down. He had not been asleep for two days, and a snoring sound came from the straw hut.

Seeing that the chief general went to bed, the deputy general called his personal soldiers to pick up a cloak on the sandbank to cover Zhou Anguo, so as not to get sick by the Jiangfeng. He turned around to supervise the progress of the project. Seeing that after two days of hard work, the trenches and the low walls had already become large, but the bamboo sticks in the trenches and the wooden rafts on the low walls had not been built yet, and the soldiers were already quite tired, so he ordered the soldiers to come down and rest and eat first, and prepare to start until the afternoon.

The Zhenhai soldiers who were working next to the fortifications retreated and surrounded them into more than a dozen circles of different sizes. They took out the dry food in their luggage for food. Zhenhai's dry food was mainly made of corn or other grains. After steaming, they were dried and left for several months and would not rot. However, the taste was really not satisfactory. When eating, they often had to soak it in hot soup and swallow it, otherwise it would be common for the teeth to break. Nearly a thousand Zhenhai soldiers in the wall were holding their necks and swallowing the dry and hard cake bait with difficulty, just like countless ducks that were filled.

"Enemy attack!" A scream interrupted everyone's food. Before the guards on the building could make a second sound, a whistle shot through his throat, causing his scream to come to an abrupt end. The whistle was like the first drop of water falling to the ground before a heavy rain. Then the raindrops fell into the camp. There was a scream in the camp. In order to facilitate work and food, almost all the soldiers in the town and sea were not wearing armor. Many of them were shot through their thighs and torso, rolling on the ground in pain. More people were frightened by the sudden attack, running around the wall aimlessly, looking for places to hide from the arrows, making the scene even more

Chaos. Fortunately, the general had not untied his armor. Although he had been shot on his shoulders and had not shot through the armor leaves. He was confused and saw that he was about to turn back to find the chief general Zhou Anguo, but he saw that the straw shed had collapsed long ago. The ruins seemed to have fallen white, as if it had just fallen, but it was the goose feather on the arrow. It must have been unfortunate. At this time, the general was in pain and regretful. If he had not asked the soldiers to come down to rest and eat, and no one was lifted on the wall, how could he be caught off guard? Thinking of this, he snatched a spear and shouted: "Military law is ruthless. If you think of your wife and children in your family, you should follow the family to the wall." After that, he rushed towards the low wall.

As the saying goes, "A general is the courage of the soldiers." Seeing the general working so hard, the soldiers of Zhenhai Army remembered the strict laws in the army. Besides, there were only two floating bridges behind them. No matter how they looked, they couldn't run enough for so many people to run. Many people turned around and rushed towards the wall. Some people were in a mess and could not find weapons for a while, so they picked up bricks and stones to use them to throw attacks.

The general rushed to the wall and didn't feel like he was breathing a breath of air. He saw that the yellow scattered enemy soldiers on the river bank of the withered trees were covered with yellow turbans. He couldn't tell how many people were. He had also heard that Yang Xingmi had collected Sun Ru's remaining troops into an army when he was there, and was known as the "Heiyundu". In order to prevent this foreign army from dominating the dominance of the country, he selected brave and healthy men from the various armies and gathered together to form an army, known as the "Yellow-headed Army" and was known as the "Heiyundu". He had never seen the "Heiyundu" ability, but when he met the "Yellow-headed Army" on the first day of the first day, he gave himself a warning. It was really amazing.

On the mound, Zhou Ben was looking at the battlefield in the distance. The war horses behind him were snorting nervously, constantly digging the ground with their horses' hooves, as if they were also infected by the shouts of killing in the distance. Some of the attacking Huainan soldiers had already crossed the trenches and were fighting with the defenders on the walls. Even on the mound hundreds of steps away, they could feel a fierce bloody smell coming towards them, which was terrifying.

"Duke Zhou, you should make a breakthrough. You should go and take a break first. Just leave such a small matter to the children to deal with, why bother with such a hard work?" Liu Wei, who was standing by, smiled relaxedly. There was a gap of two or three meters in the low wall of Zhenhai Army. As a reserved place for the construction of the camp gate, the attacking Huainan soldiers used this place as the main breakthrough point. They prepared more than ten long ladders in advance, placed them on the trench, and pressed on wooden boards. The soldiers rushed over like a tide. Although there were more than a dozen Zhenhai guards resisting at the gap, a discerning person could tell at a glance that this was impossible to withstand the impact.

"Let's watch for a while. The battlefield changes rapidly, and no one knows who will happen next moment. Since the war started, it was taken first by the guy Lu Fang, and then he was restrained everywhere. Today, he finally changed a little momentum, but he must not let it go." Zhou Ben shook his head. He learned that the Zhenhai Army attacked Baishazhou at night and used mysterious firearms, which made the Huainan guards on the sandbank almost have no power to resist. He ordered his subordinates to strictly guard the camp and not act without permission, and sent sent posts to collect the enemy situation. More than ten defeated soldiers were from the army.

After asking about the specific situation, Zhou Ben realized that he was unlikely to gain any advantage in the water battle. His only chance of winning was to deliberately show weakness and lure the Zhenhai Army to cross the river and attack. So when he learned that the enemy built a floating bridge, he did not immediately launch an attack or destroy the floating bridge, but deliberately pretended to be ignorant. When the fortifications of the Zhenhai Army were almost completed, he relaxed his vigilance and launched a surprise attack during the day and drove the enemy into the river in one fell swoop. If one or two pieces of mysterious firearms could be seized, it would be even better.

At the camp gate, the battle has become increasingly fierce. Both sides know that the outcome depends on the terrain of this small area that is only four meters long and three meters wide. The metal and the flesh are colliding rapidly. People are gasping heavily. The heavy boots are trekking in the mud soaked in blood, moving forward with difficulty, overwhelming the opponent. The people in the fierce battle squeeze out every part of their strength for fighting and collision, so they have no spare energy to shout. In this noisy battlefield, the eye of the typhoon in the camp gate is an exception. Apart from the occasional dying howl, it is particularly quiet.

But no matter how tenacious and brave the Zhenhai guards were, the number and equipment advantages of the attacking parties gradually crushed them little by little. Most of the guards who rushed here in a hurry had no time to wear armor. Only then did they meet with each other and a fatal injury in the hand-to-hand combat. Seeing that the Huainan soldiers' vanguard was about to break through this narrow bottleneck, there was a large open space in front of them. Suddenly, there was a scream from the dense crowd at the gap. It turned out that the general could not guard the camp gate.

Zhongshengzhi remembered the dozens of pots of hot soup that were boiling when eating, and quickly asked the soldiers to move the boiling soup to the low walls on both sides of the camp gate, poured the dense heads below, and immediately rolled the scalloped flesh of the Huainan soldiers below, wailing. Seeing this, the guards couldn't help but feel energetic and fought back to drive the Huainan soldiers out. The Huainan soldiers on both sides of the camp gate did not know what was going on, and they retreated one after another. They were in a mess for a while, and many people were squeezed into the trenches and stepped to death.

"Damn it!" Liu Weiming threw his helmet to the ground. He never expected that a good hand of cards would be smashed by several pots of hot soup. Zhou Ben, who was beside him, seemed to have seen nothing and said in a deep voice: "Li Hu!"

"The last one is here!" A burly man walked to Zhou Ben and bowed and bowed.

"You lead the second team forward, and take my general's sword!" Zhou Ben pulled out the sword from his waist and threw it on the ground. The sharp blade was in the soil. Li Hu hesitated and pulled out the long sword and was about to bow to him. Zhou Ben's voice came from his ears: "You use this knife to behead all the generals above the first team. If you can't take this village, you will commit suicide with this knife. Don't bother Ben Dutong to take action!"

Li Hu's body trembled when he heard this, and then calmed down his mind and bowed, "Please rest assured, the general would rather die from the enemy's troops than from military law!" After that, he turned around and left, and the armor leaves on his body made a clanging sound.

In the Zhenhai Army camp, the deputy general was wiping the sweat on his face. The scene just now flashed in front of his eyes like a nightmare. He didn't expect that his little trick would work. At this moment, he heard a rude scolding from the side, which was Zhou Anguo's accent. He couldn't help but turn his head in surprise and suspicion, and a short and fat figure appeared in his eyes. It was Zhou Anguo. The deputy general couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and couldn't help but smile: "General, it turns out that you're fine just now!"

Zhou Anguo was furious when he heard this and cursed sternly: "Bah! You're going to have something to do if you don't tear your beak!" He stepped forward and kicked the deputy general in the butt: "Why don't you urge the soldiers to wear armor to teach them to the soldiers. The enemy soldiers are coming up again. I'll settle the score with you after I'm done!"

The deputy general quickly urged the soldiers to wear armor to be appointed as soldiers. While whispering to Zhou Anguo: "The last general is incompetent, and they shouldn't let the men go down the wall to eat." As soon as he said this, he was interrupted impatiently by Zhou Anguo: "Forget it, wait until we go back alive and say that there are all that are not good! Take ten people, hurry up and go to the other side of the floating bridge, cut off the rope, and remove it for a while." Zhou Anguo lowered his voice and seemed to whisper, "What, isn't there no way out?" As soon as the deputy general said this, he realized that Zhou Anguo was a plan to burn his boats and force his soldiers to fight to the death. His face suddenly turned pale, and he stared at the main general. He saw that Zhou Anguo was also sweating on his forehead and his lips trembled, obviously he was quite nervous and afraid.

"After you dismantle the pontoon bridge, you will get on the boat and transfer a few cannoned fast ships, and lean on the shore. They are all equipped with gunpowder iron, but only use crossbows. When a certain army's flag is pressed under the army, you will aim the cannon at the enemy to shoot. Do you know?" Zhou Anguo's voice was extremely low. If the deputy general's ear was not close to his mouth, he would not be able to hear clearly. After Zhou Anguo finished speaking, he patted the deputy general's shoulder and said, "Go quickly, don't delay any more!"

The deputy general was stunned, turned around and turned around and whispered: "It's better to let the general stick here, go and tear down the bridge and set off firecrackers."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Anguo's face showed anger: "I am the chief general. If I retreat alone, the morale of the army will collapse immediately and we will all die! Let's say that since the army was released, all the troops will win. If our army is defeated alone, how can I still have the face to see the king? Don't say more, do things quickly and don't miss a certain family's affairs again!"

The deputy general looked at Zhou Anguo's face, and tears burst out from his eyes. He stopped talking. He knelt down and kowtowed three times, stood up and left without hesitation. Zhou Anguo looked at his leaving figure, and also carried a spear to go to the camp gate.
