Chapter 813

In the valley, the Huan army blew the horn of attack.

The army of nearly 150,000 marched into the canyon in neat square formations and pressed towards the Feng army.

At this time, the Feng army standing on the pile of stones were a little frightened. More than 10,000 people, there is no end; more than 100,000 people, the ground is connected to the sky. The 150,000 Huan army marched together, and the lineup was so large that you can imagine it. Looking around, you can't see the ground, all you can see are people. Even without fighting, just such a scene is terrifying enough.

However, the Sanshui army is also a battle-hardened army, and they have seen the largest lineups. Although people are nervous, they don't feel afraid, not to mention that among them there is Shangguan Yuanrang, who is brave enough to fight against thousands of people. Shangguan Yuanrang stood on the pile of stones with a knife, watching the huge enemy army approaching step by step. He didn't even blink, but raised the corners of his mouth, showing contempt.

"Kill--"

The first to launch an attack on the Feng army side was the Feng army on the top of the mountain on both sides of the canyon. As Liang Qi gave an order, arrows rained down from the canyon, pouring down on the heads of Huan Jun. In an instant, there were screams in the Huan Jun camp. Many soldiers were still walking forward, but they were hit on the head by arrows and fell straight to the ground.

The originally neat formation suddenly had countless gaps.

However, Huan Jun reacted quickly, and the whole army immediately raised shields and set up shield formations. More than 100,000 people raised their shields together, forming a huge steel shield. The silver-colored shield surface reflected the sunlight, which was so bright that it was dazzling. The arrows shot at the shield formation, making a clanging sound. Although they could occasionally pass through the gaps between the shields and kill the enemy soldiers below, their power had been greatly reduced.

Liang Qi on the mountain raised the command flag calmly and waved it in the air.

Feng Jun understood and changed tactics. While reducing the arrows, a large number of soldiers raised the stones and stumps that had been prepared long ago, walked to the edge of the cliff, and smashed them with all their strength.

Shields can block arrows, but they cannot block stones and tree stumps falling from the sky.

The stone hit the shield, but the shield did not break. Instead, there was a crisp sound of broken bones under the shield. Under the force of the stone, the arms of the people holding the shield were instantly broken. The shields raised above the head fell on the heads of the soldiers of Huan with the stone. The force was so great that people were knocked to the ground in an instant; the weight of the tree stump was not as heavy as the stone, but its attack range was wide. After falling, it could knock down a group of people. Even if someone was lucky enough not to die or be injured, the shield would be knocked down. Without the protection of the shield, they would be shot into hedgehogs by the arrows that kept falling in the blink of an eye.

Under such an intense attack, the soldiers of Huan Army fell in groups. In the canyon, corpses piled up and blood flowed like a river. For the Huan Army, the charge at this time was more like walking on a road of death. No place was safe. No matter where they stood, boulders, wooden stakes, and arrows might fall from the sky and fall on their heads in the next moment.

Huan Jun's charge was a one-way march, one-way death. This short canyon of more than 100 feet became a distance that countless Huan Jun soldiers could never walk out of. By now, Huan Jun was completely using people to add to the force. The soldiers were numb. Even if someone was smashed into a meat pie by a huge rock that suddenly fell, the comrades next to them would not even look at it, but just walked forward numbly.

The Feng Jun on the mountain was also numb from killing. At first, people aimed to throw stones and shoot arrows, but gradually, people no longer aimed, raised stones and smashed them, and drew arrows and shot them. People were not even willing to look at the canyon. The scene there could only be described as bloody and fleshy. The broken limbs were everywhere, and the blood dyed the ground blood red. If the Huan Jun fell, even if they were not injured, they would become bloody people when they got up.

The Huan Jun Corps walking in the front, when it was only a hundred steps away from the pile of stones, 10,000 soldiers were less than a thousand, which shows how tragic the process of the attack was.

However, their bad luck was not over. Seeing the enemy army entering their range, Shangguan Yuanrang suddenly pulled out his three-pointed double-edged sword, swung it forward, and shouted: "One hundred steps away! Shoot!"

Tao Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was the main general here, but when Shangguan Yuanrang came, he became an idler.

Shangguan Yuanrang was not the main general, but the soldiers of the Feng Army were willing to follow his orders. He shouted to shoot arrows, and the 30,000 Feng Army soldiers behind the pile of stones shot out the arrows in their hands.

This round of arrow formation once again dealt a fatal blow to the Huan Army Corps of less than a thousand people. After only one round of arrow shooting, only about a hundred Huan soldiers were still standing. Fortunately, the remnants of the Huan Army's second corps had caught up and joined the few remaining remnants of the first corps to continue to move forward.

Within a hundred steps of the stone pile, it was even more difficult to move forward. There was an arrow formation of the Feng Army in front, and rolling logs, pounding stones, and sporadic arrows shot overhead. The soldiers could not defend against the upper and lower parts, and could not defend against the lower parts. The two corps of the Huan Army had no one who was close to the stone pile for fifty steps, and all died on the way. The soldiers who were luckier could still shoot back two or three arrows, but most of the Huan Army died tragically in the canyon without firing a single arrow.

The two corps were completely annihilated, and no one walked off the battlefield alive, but the Huan Army did not stop there. The remaining troops continued to move forward, and people walked forward numbly on the fragmented bodies of their comrades.

Liang Qi had not expected that the other side would take such a large-scale suicidal breakout. As the battle continued, the rolling logs and pounding stones prepared in advance by the Feng Army began to be insufficient. Liang Qi made a prompt decision to allocate part of the troops to cut wood or collect stones. In addition, he also ordered the entire army not to throw and shoot arrows blindly, but to aim at the enemy before shooting.

The strength of the rolling logs and pounding stones falling from the mountains on both sides of the canyon weakened, which gave Huan Jun a rare opportunity to charge. Seeing the opportunity, Xu Qing ordered the entire army to speed up their march and make sure to cross the pile of stones and charge out.

With the rolling logs and pounding stones falling from time to time, Huan Jun's third corps still had more than half of its troops when it entered the pile of stones a hundred steps away. Its corps commander was not injured either. A hundred steps was already within the range. The corps commander shouted, "Shoot, archers shoot!"

At his command, the archers in the crowd raised their bows and arrows and fired at the Feng Jun above and below the pile of stones. While they were shooting, the Feng Jun's arrow formation also arrived. For a while, screams of being shot were heard from both camps. However, the Feng Jun had many more archers than the Huan Jun, and when they shot at each other, the casualties of the Huan Jun were much greater than those of the Feng Jun.

The commander of the third corps kept commanding the crowd, asking the infantry to charge with shields raised in front, and the archers to shoot arrows afterwards. His command was correct, but how could a few thousand people rush past the arrows of 30,000 Feng troops?

Every time a round of arrows flew, a large number of Huan troops were shot and fell to the ground. After five rounds of arrows from the Feng army, only a few hundred Huan troops were left.

A thousand-man captain in the army watched his brothers being shot and fell to the ground one after another, and rushed to the commander of the corps, crying and shouting: "General, retreat, the Feng army's arrows are too fierce, we can't get out at all!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you have to charge even if you can't get out, and you have to die in front of the battle!" The commander of the corps grabbed the thousand-man captain's collar and yelled.

When attacking, Xu Qing had already given the order. If the first corps was wiped out, the next corps would take over. Those who died on the battlefield were heroes, and those who fled in the battle and followed by the corps behind would be killed without mercy.

With Xu Qing giving such an order, how could the corps commander dare to retreat? He would rather die in front of the two armies like the previous two corps commanders than die at the hands of his own people.

"Keep charging! If you are afraid of death, I will chop you first!" The corps commander raised his sword and wanted to scare the centurion commander, but a stray arrow flew over and hit the centurion commander's neck. With a thud, the bloody arrowhead came out of the centurion commander's throat.

The corps commander was still holding his collar armor, but his body had softened, his pupils dilated, and his face turned ashen. The corps commander was shocked and horrified, and subconsciously took two steps back, looking around again. From time to time, soldiers around him were hit by arrows. Some were shot in the vitals and died on the spot, and some were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, screaming and reaching out to his companions for help, but before the brothers on both sides came forward to rescue him, he was hit by several arrows and nailed to the ground alive.

This is the power and terror of the Feng Army's arrow formation. When the rain of arrows poured down, even the most experienced veterans had nowhere to hide. Even if they hid behind a corpse, the arrows could still penetrate the corpse and kill them.

Hundreds of soldiers were shot into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye. The corps commander had a spiritual armor to protect his body, but he could not withstand the continuous strong shooting. He was hit by arrows in several places, but he did not fall down. He ran forward with his sword raised and yelled like crazy.

The Feng Army soldiers on the top of the stone pile raised their arrows, aimed at the enemy generals rushing towards them, and shot arrows at the same time.

Puff, puff, puff-hundreds of eagle feathers hit the body of the corps commander at the same time. The latter's spiritual armor was broken into pieces, and the whole person could no longer be seen in his original appearance. His body was full of feathers.

The body hit by arrows ran forward a few steps before staggering to the ground and could no longer get up.

The third corps of the Huan Army also ended with the annihilation of the army and no one survived.

The battle was far from over. Next, the fourth and fifth corps of the Huan army rushed up one after another. At this time, the Huan soldiers had completely ignored the arrow formation of the Feng army and rushed forward regardless of anything. People seemed to have turned into wood that did not know how to think and had forgotten what fear was.

The enemy rushed closer and closer, from 100 steps to 50 steps, to 20 steps, and then to 10 steps. The Feng army on the stone pile could clearly hear the opponent's wheezing.

At such a close distance, the Feng army could no longer shoot arrows. People carried bows and arrows, shields and steel knives, and prepared to engage in a close-range battle with the enemy.

The Feng army was on the stone pile, located at a high place, with the advantage of terrain, and did not intend to rush down, but Shangguan Yuanrang suddenly roared, swung his knife and jumped off the stone pile, and rushed towards the enemy.
