Chapter 1579: Desperately

Sun Runze's counterattack came extremely fast and fiercely.

This choice was not difficult for Sun Runze, because he knew that driving the enemy back while the enemy was not firmly established was his best choice. The longer the drag was, the more stable the enemy's position would be, and it would be more difficult to retake it. So after he landed in Suqian's headquarters and successfully repelled his riverside defense forces, he immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

The Suqian headquarters controlled a river bank of about two miles. Behind them, countless rafts were flying from the other side of the river. Soldiers and armies were continuously transported to the embankment and quickly joined the battle to stabilize the position.

On the river surface, countless civilians were desperately nailing pointed logs into the river water, and a simple bridge deck was taking shape. Standing at Suqian, looking down, there were only dense heads on this two-mile-wide river surface.

The first trest bridge successfully crossed the river surface. Suqian rode his war horse with confidence and came to the other side of the river.

Crossbows were transported over and pushed to the river bank, and began to launch frantically towards the dense Chu army that was coming.

The first thunder fire was finally transported over with great difficulty, pushed onto the river bank, and began to vent rounds of anger at the Chu army frantically. This time, what they threw out was no longer ordinary stone bullets, but red-burned iron bullets.

When a cavalry team of Shangyan in Jiang passed through Gaoliang River along the trestle and attacked the Chu army's flank, the fierce offensive of the Chu army was finally curbed and he retreated again.

"He will launch an offensive again soon." Jiang Shangyan, who followed the first wave of cavalry across the river, personally led a team to charge for a while, came to Suqian, turned over and jumped off the horse, and a personal soldier ran over with a bucket of water, dripping a bucket of water along the helmet of the river Shangyan, and the red blood flowed down the armor of the river Shangyan.

"Of course he will attack." Suqian narrowed his eyes, "But he shouldn't come again today, let's see what tricks he will do tomorrow!"

"Do you want me to lead the cavalry to rush for a while? Or to touch his camp at night?" Jiang Shangyan smiled.

"Then forget it!" Suqian said: "The Chu army was well prepared here, look at their camp." Suqian pointed to the Chu army camp in the distance: "Do you think you have a chance to rush in with such a camp? Steal the camp at night? Don't tell me this joke, would I be so stupid? I really nodded and agreed. Will you spit on my face?"

Hearing Suqian say this, Jiang Shangyan burst into laughter.

"I guess there are at least about 10,000 people in the camp opposite the Chu army." Suqian said: "I will not be greedy for me to attack the opponent's Shenliu camp, because we are not in a hurry. We just need to defend the position in front of us steadily, and then expand to the left and right little by little to lay a good foundation for His Majesty's army. When Canglang, Ruijin and Miner Battalion, who are best at attacking the toughest, come up, there are more ways to deal with them. Now, I'm waiting for Sun Runze to come to find me."

"This is the truth." Jiang Shangyan smiled and said, "I'm still afraid that you would take down the camp opposite in one go?" Jiang Shangyan smiled.

"I'm not so stupid." Su Qian shook his head and said, "It's a pity that my thunder fire was lost half of it in one battle. He fell into the water and couldn't even catch it. If the thunder fire was there, maybe I would still want to try it."

"Next, you can build your position with peace of mind, and leave the left and right wings to me to protect you." Jiang Shangyan said.

"I'm working hard." Suqian nodded and said, "Next, Sun Runze will definitely want to use cavalry from the left and right wings to attack me. I will leave these two directions to you. I will concentrate on dealing with the front."

"No problem!" Jiang Shangyan stretched out his hand, grabbed Suqian's outstretched hand, and turned around and strode away. On the surface of the river, more cavalry were constantly walking towards this side.

More people crossed the river, a large amount of wood was dragged onto the river bank, and many rafts were also dismantled into wooden piles. The piles were nailed into about three feet to the ground, and about one meter later, and a row of such piles were nailed. Then, sand and soil were dug out several meters outside the piles and filled them between the two rows of wooden piles. A simple city wall took shape.

The river embankment and the city wall dozens of meters away from the embankment form two defense systems of the Suqian army. Behind the city wall, there are infantry waiting for battle. On the river embankment, the only eight thunder fires left by Suqian are the long-range weapons support in front. More powerful crossbows, as for the crossbows with fast firing speed but close range, are all arranged on the city wall. Suqian is ready to be a turtle and wait for the arrival of the main force here.

The Chu army arranged tens of thousands of troops in Xiangzhou, and the distance between them was not too far. Sun Runze was defeated and reinforcements soon arrived here. He would not take the risk of attacking without protecting himself. God knew where the Chu army set up a trap.

After successfully crossing the river and establishing a strong crossing position, the head attack of this battle has fallen steadily on his head and cannot escape.

Sun Runze stood above the dagger and looked at the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag flying on the river bank in the distance in disappointment, as well as the busy Ming soldiers. He really hoped that the Ming army on the opposite side would launch a fierce attack on his camp with the power of great victory. If that was the case, he could use the strong camp to give the enemy a head-on attack, kill and injure the enemy in large quantities, and then launch a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the enemy general was very clear-headed and unmoved. After the victory, he started to build a turtle shell, which forced him to prepare for a second attack.

Both sides slept peacefully, and no one thought about going to attack his opponent at night. Everyone had fought, but they all touched each other. For things like stealing camp, I was afraid that whoever did it would suffer. It would be better to rest honestly and do a battle tomorrow.

At the fifth hour, thick smoke from cooking fires rose at the same time from the two hostile camps. The soldiers began to eat their first meal today. Perhaps, this was the last meal of many of them in their lives.

When it was dawn, the sound of rumbling war drums sounded from the Chu army camp. Almost when the sound of the Chu army's war drums sounded, the loud military trumpets sounded on the side of the Ming army in the river bank.

Sun Runze personally led his troops to start a counterattack.

The wood was nailed together, and a layer of wooden board was covered with a layer of wood, and a slanted top was built on the top. Countless soldiers hid behind, shouting and pushing the huge wooden walls forward.

The speed is very slow, but the protection of the Chu army is very effective. At least the Ming army's crossbow machine cannot shoot it through. Although the slanted top above cannot block the attack of the thunder fire, it can effectively reduce their damage.

There are about five floors of such wooden walls, and there are about a thousand soldiers scattered behind each floor. The power of the Thunderbolt Fire is too great. If the personnel are too concentrated, it is simply asking the opponent to give him military achievements. The dispersion of the soldiers can effectively reduce its threat. Fortunately, it is a river beach here, and the soil on the ground is loose. The rain some time ago made the soil here softer, which further reduced the attack effect of the Thunderbolt Fire.

Sun Runze almost came out in full swing.

When they entered the range of the Thunderbolt Fire, the Thunderbolt Fire on the river bank began to fire, and the sky was instantly filled with burning iron bombs.

The Chu soldiers who were pushing the wooden wall could not see the sky at all, so they had no way to fear. The Chu soldiers who followed them looked up at the fireball flying in the sky, constantly adjusting their positions, avoiding the falling sickles of the god of death. At this time, they did not have much to do except praying for the heavens to be kind.

When the first round of thunder fire fell, Sun Runze breathed a sigh of relief. The lethality brought by this terrifying weapon was not as great as he imagined, especially the damage to the wooden wall was not serious. Although a fireball hit the wooden wall, it only destroyed the top few and caused a big fire, but this had little impact on the advancement of the wooden wall. The wooden wall was still slowly advancing forward.

Suqian's brows were tightly locked. Sun Runze's operation was beyond his expectations. He wanted to force himself to step out of the city wall to fight with his opponent.

Of course, he was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but he was not satisfied with being unable to stabilize the city walls and using sharp weapons to kill the enemy.

There was a dense sound of horse hooves on both sides, which was the Jiang Shangyan who launched a charge towards the enemy from the left and right wings. After the last wooden wall, the Chu army's cavalry also rushed out. Their cavalry was far from enough, and they only threw cavalry on the left wing, and on the right, the same wooden wall was erected.

The solution Sun Runze came up with was to use these wooden walls to create a moving turtle shell for himself.

The method is stupid, but it is extremely effective. If the Ming army insists on not attacking, these moving turtle shells rushed to the Ming army's city walls, and only by pushing down these wooden walls can we form a spacious avenue to attack the Ming army.

"Isn't it just to prepare a pointed log, rush out and knock down their wooden walls? Then let you taste our power!" Suqian said angrily.

Ming Jun rushed out with sharpened logs.

The two armies collided together, and the sharpened log hit the high wooden wall. With the loud bang, the wooden walls broke apart, and the soldiers from both sides strangled together.

Both sides built high walls and camps, but now no one can use them anymore, but directly used the most primitive method, wearing shirtless hands and slashing each other.
