Chapter 661 Bloody Battle(1/2)
The north bank of the Nanping River.
The Chu army became obviously nervous. The densely packed ships of all sizes appeared on the river, like countless demons and monsters stepping on the river.
"Arrowman!"
Yu Wenjing shouted.
The Chu army's arrow formation on the riverside was neatly sent out the feather arrows as dense as locusts.
Before the Chu army's arrow formation, there were a row of crossbows.
Although the Great Chu has become corrupt, the equipment of the Chu army cannot be underestimated. Even today, the bow and arrow crossbow chariots made by the Great Chu are still the strongest killing weapon in the battle formation.
When Chu was strong, the various weapons and armor stored in the Ministry of War arsenal could be equipped with at least 1.5 million people, and at any time.
Wars were intensified everywhere, and when Yuwen Shangyun was ordered to form a new army and went to the Ministry of War to report.
The people from the Ministry of War of Dachu have always said that the treasury is empty and the Ministry of War has no money, so they cannot contribute funds to help him form a new army.
When Yuwen Shangyun followed the people from the Ministry of War to the arsenal, he found that there were mountains of bows and arrows piled up in the warehouse.
Many of them have been damaged due to poor maintenance, the arrow clusters fall, and the gun rod is dry and cracked.
And the crossbow chariots built by Da Chu were also piled up there, covered in dust.
People from the Ministry of War here are still complaining, saying that the Ministry of Revenue has not allocated funds for a long time.
On the other hand, there is the unmanaged mansion equipment in Manku. How can it not make people feel sad?
The Chu army arrow formation on the shore and the huge crossbow arrows stimulated by the crossbow chariots, with the power to sweep everything.
But in such a moonlight, there is another layer of mist on the river surface. Whether the crossbow can hit the target depends only on luck.
The biggest reliance for resisting the Ning army's crossing the river is bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows.
But what is shocking is that the feather arrows are so densely that they collide in mid-air, while the ships near the northern shore of Ning Jun did not slow down.
Yu Wenjing held up a thousand-mile eyes and looked at it. The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
When the ships got closer, Yu Wenjing realized that no matter how many feather arrows were shot on the ship, the Ning soldiers who were shot did not fall down.
The Ning army soldiers who were hit by the heavy crossbow would not fall into pieces!
"It's a dummy!"
Yu Wenjing shouted immediately.
But what if you know it is a dummy?
They dared not to shoot arrows or let Ningjun ships dock.
So the archers were still sending the arrows out, just like splashing water.
On Ning Jun's ship, the bows were piled with scarecrows in Ning Jun's combat uniforms, and each ship was.
The feather arrow shot on the scarecrow and soon almost pierced.
The number of Ningmen on each ship is actually not large, it is just enough to support the boat.
The bow, stern, and sides of the hull are all scarecrows.
When he arrived at the south bank of the Yangtze River, Dan Tai ordered that each soldier should make at least one scarecrow.
The arrows remained on the ship more and more, and the hull became heavier and heavier.
On a relatively large warship, this is also one of the few warships. Dan Tai stood behind the shield soldiers and looked at him, and the more he looked, the more he became more and more happy.
"My king is really a god!"
Dan Tai couldn't help but exclaim.
He thought to himself how much stuff King Ning had in his head, and he could think of the way to borrow arrows.
How could he know that this method was recorded in the military book Mr. Li gave to Li Chi.
Although there are no shortage of feather arrows in the Ning army under Dan Tai, who still thinks there are too many?
Ning Wang said that he didn't borrow it, the more we are, the better.
The Chu army did not dare to let Ning's army approach, and the ships were still on the river, and their arrows were constantly stopping.
"Blow the horns and order the ship to turn the direction!"
As the sound of the horn sounded, the warships on the river began to rotate slowly.
This side is full of arrows. Every ship is full of arrows.
"General, this is not a solution."
Yuwen Jing's subordinate said anxiously: "The Ning army's ship stopped dozens of feet away from the shore, and our arrows were collected by them."
Yu Wenjing pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed not a solution.
So he shouted: "Send the order and the archers stop shooting arrows. If the ships of Ning Army do not get close, don't shoot arrows."
The military order was quickly conveyed, and the archers on the Chu army gradually stopped.
And on Ning Jun's ship, Dan Tai laughed out loud.
"ah......"
Dan Tai sighed with emotion: "It is such a happy thing to follow King Ning to fight."
"Report!"
Someone shouted: "There is news from the ship in front that the Chu army no longer shoots arrows!"
Tan Tai said with a stern saying: "If you don't shoot arrows, just press forward. Don't press too hard and force the Chu army to continue shooting arrows."
So the ships of Ning army moved forward again. When the Chu army saw that Ning army was really brave enough to move forward, the archer fired the arrow again.
"Blow the horns and end the army!"
It was almost time for Dantai to stop, and it was time to go back and unload the goods.
The horn of withdrawing troops rang out, and Ning army ships turned around one by one and gradually disappeared into the mist on the river.
"Ning Jun retreated!"
Cheers immediately came from the Chu army.
Dan Tai stood on the big ship, far away from him, and heard the cheers of the Chu army.
He smiled and said, "I don't know what they cheered, it seems that they have won."
On the Chu army.
Song Dejing, who came from the city, hurried to Yu Wenjing: "The general asked me to ask, what's the war here?"
Yu Wenjing briefly explained Ning Jun's attack, and this time, there was another headache.
Song Dejing thought to himself how could the Ning army be so shameless when they were in war?
If you are fighting, it is too much for you to deceive us.
Yu Wenjing asked Song Dejing again what was going on in the city of Song Dejing, but Song Dejing looked worried.
Song Dejing shook his head and said, "It's not easy to fight, so the general sent me to ask if he could divide his troops back to support him."
Yu Wenjing said: "The Ning army here doesn't seem to be really trying to cross the river forcibly. It's just to involve our troops. I will give you a team and you will take it back to help the general."
Song Dejing responded quickly and followed Yu Wenjing to divide the troops.
Dan Tai estimated the time and ordered: "Let the second batch of ships go on!"
The sound of the horn sounded again, and the second Ning army fleet began to press onto the north shore.
Before Song Dejing and Yu Wenjing could divide their troops, they heard the news that Ning Jun had crossed the river again.
So the two rushed back to the front line by the river, but saw that Ning Jun was exactly the same as before, and the ship stopped dozens of feet away from the shore.
As long as the Chu army archers stopped shooting arrows, they moved forward.
Ning Jun's fighting style is both difficult and cheap.
"You don't need to care about the affairs of the river, and immediately lead troops back to support the general."
After Yu Wenjing finished speaking to Song Dejing, he ordered his subordinates to mobilize the forces of the two armies.
He left 30,000 people to guard, and 20,000 were handed over to Song Dejing to go back and encircle the Ning army led by Tang Pidian from the back.
In the darkness, not far from the Chu army's position, in the grass, several Ning army scouts saw the Chu army's division.
"Reward quickly and tell the general Chu army to split his troops back to Anyang City!"
The team was giving orders, and the two scouts immediately stood up, ran away for a distance, pulled out the hidden war horse in the ditch, and rode away.
Not long after, it was about thirty miles away from the Chu army's riverside camp.
The scout Feiqi returned and went to the two generals and clasped his fists and said, "Two generals, the Chu army has divided its troops back to the city of Anyang!"
The two men looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
"The General's magic trick!"
