Chapter 350 Zhou Tong

The stone path on the mountainside was full of heavy armored soldiers. From the top, people almost covered the road. But no matter how many people were, the hole was only so big, and there were only more than twenty people attacking in front... Among them, there were only sixteen people carrying the stone, two long stones in front and back, each carrying eight. The soldiers bowed their backs, protected the stone and attacked slowly, and took arrows.

"It is very difficult to dig such a large rolling stone, and the Shu army will not have too many." Deputy Commander Wang Hanju said, "I forgot to ask the prisoners how many rolling stones there are in total. Why would I send someone down the mountain to bring the prisoners up to ask?"

Zhou Tong pondered: "Do we have to wait for the Shu army to push the stones? Even if we can wait, the defenders sealed the door after they have no rolling stones, and the city wall is built on the mountain pass, how can we attack the city?"

Wang Hanju frowned and said, "Commander Zhou's thoughts are far-reaching, and it's really troublesome. We don't have any siege equipment; even if there is, it's difficult to attack the city with such terrain."

Zhou Tong said with a cold face: "Guo Du is waiting at the foot of the mountain. I have to take down this military camp today!"

Zhou Tong looked up at the high city wall, and arrows kept flying out like black dots in the air. He was thinking about two key things: easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the credit was particularly convincing; Guo Shao was at the foot of the mountain, watching himself fight hard... The opportunity to make achievements is very rare. If you think about this with the technique of archery, all external conditions are very appropriate, and you just need to fight hard.

In this world, the soldiers will work harder when supervising the battle. This is the reason. The superiors are generally from military generals and know how to fight the battle formation and understand military affairs. The soldiers perform well in front of him and can be appreciated, and everyone has hope. Moreover, there is this reason for this. If the dynasty changes are very frequent, if the people living in the deep palace become emperors, the weak or the children, the soldiers are unwilling to obey; because they think that no one knows that they are working hard in front of them, and they rely entirely on the verbal words of civil officials, and of course they are not convinced. The warriors only obey the strong people on the battle formation.

Guo Shao has given Zhou Tong the opportunity! Zhou Tong stood at the intersection with his head held high, holding the hilt in his left hand tighter and tighter, and his knuckles have turned white due to force.

He is 41 years old this year, and he understands that the delayed encounter will not come again. Zhou Tong said in his heart: I am a mud and can't stand it on the wall. I have forgotten the dream of making achievements when I was young. No, I just fell into middle age without realizing it. The helplessness of reality forced me to accept my fate. If I continue to be as down and out as before, Zhou Tong has seen the consequences of the old man on the Hebei horse farm. He drinks heavily every day, is mocked and humiliated and is not angry, full of decay and dullness, and a few laughs can also smell sour and smelly.

No matter how old a man is, he will live with one breath! At this moment, Zhou Tong felt that his excitement that had been silent for many years was ignited again. His years have gradually grown old, but the throbbing heart in his heart is still rushing with blood!

"If you don't succeed, you will be successful!" Zhou Tong suddenly shouted, "Zhang Jiankui, the head of the capital of the first capital."

A tall and fierce man carrying a big axe came forward and said, "The last one is here."

Zhou Tong: "The people who take you with me will follow me to attack Shuzhai."

"Get orders." Zhang Jiankui responded simply.

Deputy Commander Wang Hanju hurriedly advised: "General Zhou is the leader of the soldiers. Do not take risks in person. I am willing to go to battle for General Zhou."

Zhou Tong: "If I die, you will be the temporary commander."

Zhou Tong led his troops to rush forward with a loose long formation. After two attacks, the front army had nearly twenty steps, and arrows roared on his head. Zhou Tong only felt a "nail" sound on his helmet, and reached out to touch it. A small hole was hit by a cluster of iron arrows on his helmet, but the iron plate of the helmet was thicker and repeatedly forged, and it was not damaged at all.

At this moment, people on the city wall picked up the stones and threw them down, but the stones were heavy and could only throw them a few steps away, and jumped down on the stone steps. A stone flew towards a soldier carrying a stone. His shoulders were on the wooden stick and could not dodge. With a "clang" sound, the soldier staggered with pain, his feet staggered, his body tilted, and he reached out to dig in the air for two strokes and grabbed anything. The center of gravity was unstable and accidentally fell down the mountain next to him. The soldier was still screaming when he fell, and his shouts echoed between the towering cliffs.

Zhou Tong couldn't help but turn his head down and looked down. The bottom of the mountain seemed to be so deep that his legs felt slightly weak for a moment, so he stared at him and bit his teeth. In this narrow place, there was no magnificent battle formation with crowds of people. Even the shouts seemed a little empty and lonely, but the danger was not smaller than the battle formation.

Zhou Tong took off the bow and arrow, and pointed at a Shu army soldier holding a stone. The man screamed and fell down. The Zhou army soldiers all took the bow and crossbows at one or twenty steps.

The sound of "jigujigu" rubbing wood came, and the stone cannons behind the city walls were also fired one after another. Stones and arrows flew around the mountain road, and Zhou soldiers slowly approached, and many people were injured by the stones... Everyone carried the stone and couldn't walk too fast. People did not dare to give up on the stones. Rolling stones might come out at any time in the "dog hole", and no one could stop the heavy weight.

It was only a dozen steps away, because Zhou Tong brought forty or fifty people up, and there were more people on the mountain road, and he was not afraid of arrows gradually approaching. The Shu army finally couldn't help but rolling sounds in the "dog cave". The soldiers of the Shu army pushed a rolling stone again and appeared at the door... They might know that the Zhou army was carrying a stone to hit the rolling stone, and they could not let the rolling stone crush all the Zhou army soldiers along the concave mountain road, but at least they could repel the soldiers approaching immediately, and then use stone cannons, stones, bows and crossbows to defend remotely.

Zhou Tong suddenly shouted, "Don't panic! Hold the stone and remember my orders before. The two in front walked two steps inside and then put them down, and put them down the back one! Don't run away!"

The soldiers carrying the stone were put down according to his order, but the soldiers in front and behind turned around and ran away... They were all raised by their parents. The big rolling stone crushed from their heads so scary that it seemed to be a place that was bound to die. Not many people were willing to resist there. The soldiers of the Zhou army were brave, and they were not dead soldiers who were completely afraid of death.

With a loud "boom", it hit the first stone. The stone was placed inwardly inward, and it immediately deviated and jumped up when it hit the upper direction. The stone was hit hard and slid backwards on the slope. With a "bang", it hit the second stone that was placed vertically. Both stones slid down. Zhou Tong did not run away, and saw the movement of the stone to avoid it, and then shouted: "Kill!"

Zhou Tong rushed forward, and Zhang Jiankui, who was behind, followed with a big axe. When the soldiers near him saw the commander rushing forward, they turned around and rushed to follow him.

"Call the stones thrown on it!" Zhou Tong turned around and shouted.

Only ten steps apart, the Shu army had no time to push the rolling stone again. They hurriedly pushed the city gate to close. Zhou Tong saw one of his legs exposed behind the gate, and stopped for a while, hurriedly picked up the bow and shot it with an arrow, hitting the man's calf. Sure enough, a soldier fell down in pain.

The great man Zhang Jiankui took advantage of Zhou Tong's archery and rushed forward to the front. With more than fifty pounds of armor, heavy axe and portable pendants, Zhang Jiankui ran like a cow, and his breathing sounded "huffing" sounded.

He ran to the front of the door, and the city gate had just closed. With a loud bang, his shoulders suddenly mounted on the thick wooden door, and the city walls almost shaking. Some fragments and dust fell from above the arched door and poured on Zhang Jiankui's body. The city gate was turbulent for a few times and was just bolted by a wooden beam. Another loud bang, Zhang Jiankui still did not open the city gate, but there was only one wooden latch, and a big gap appeared.

At this time, Zhou Tong and others had already rushed to the city, and took the bow and arrow and shot the Shu soldiers who were owed their bodies to smash people with stones. Several Zhou soldiers wanted to go up and help hit the door, but Zhang Jiankui shouted: "Do not go!"

He took off the mountain-opening axe, slammed the wind and slashed hard into the wooden beam in the crack of the door with a "clang". With a "kick", the wooden beam broke. Seeing this, Zhou Tong rushed in with a few soldiers and immediately knocked open the city gate. "Kill!" Zhou Tong shouted with his eyes widened.

The Zhou soldiers immediately widened their eyes and saw that the city wall was densely filled with Shu soldiers, and they ran over from not far away. There were only a few people around Zhou Tong. When he turned around, there were still many Shu soldiers on the city wall.

Zhou Tong shouted with red eyes: "Ma Jie is wrapped in a body, and the battlefield is today!"

"I finally rushed up, don't you kill me?" Zhang Jiankui's hard beard almost stood up due to excitement. He exhaled a big breath, threw away the axe, and picked up a wooden spear from the ground. The axe was too heavy to fight for a long time.

Amid the shouts, the Shu soldiers rushed from several sides with their number, and the formation seemed to be about to chop the Zhou army into meat paste. Zhang Jiankui's spear shook, and then he heard a scream. The spear head pierced the chest of the Shu soldiers in front, and blood splattered when they pulled it out. At this time, the Shu soldiers on both wings rushed to the other side and stabbed them with spears. A Shu army general shouted: "Kill them and drive them out of the city gate! There are many rewards!"

"Ding Ding Dangdang" Several spearheads pierced on Zhang Jiankui's plate armor. Zhang Jiankui shouted and waved his spear to stab. Zhou Tong shouted: "Small round formation! Don't expose your back!" The elite shouted to guard the surroundings, holding bows and arrows in the middle. The dozen people who came in first came up quickly to surround the array in order. They were all for the rest of their lives, and the skills of the battle formation were very familiar.

There were few soldiers in Zhou, but they did not have three heads and six arms; there were many soldiers in Shu, and they came up with long weapons to stab each other. The soldiers of Zhou were shot countless times, but fortunately they had plate armor protection and had good defense against sharp weapons. Everyone would suffer some minor injuries in their activities, but it was difficult to be killed.

At this moment, a strong man from Shu soldier came up with a long-handled copper hammer, "huh" and hit the ground. There were places around him where people hid, and a "clang" sound of metal hitting, sparks splashed. With a scream, a Zhou soldier fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong pulled the bowstring and shot arrows with a "bang". He hit the chest of the Shu soldier. The guy screamed and wanted to lift the copper hammer, but he finally couldn't wave it. Hearing a loud scream of "ah". Zhou Tong turned his head and saw that a soldier was hit by an arrow on the back, and the arrow penetrated the chain mail. The soldier supported his body with a gun stick. The Shu soldiers on the city wall were shooting arrows, and most of the arrows flew to the plate armor and jingled.

The Zhou army soldiers in iron armor spread like a group of lonely boats and were spread in the middle by surging prodigal sons. The huge gap in force could no longer be calculated in multiples, but they were not swallowed up for a long time. With the opening of the city gate, more Zhou army soldiers rushed in one after another, and the commanders were all here, and the Zhou army soldiers were very brave.

"Ding ding! Ding ding ding..." Apart from the shouting, there were heavy metal impacts around him, and the sound seemed to form a rough and cruel music.
