Chapter 752 Seeing Death as Suddenly Home, a Hundred Horsemen Have High Fighting Spirit
Although it was very far away and the sky had already darkened, Wu Wei, who had grown up in a military family since he was a child, still judged from the changes in the formation of the Xiliang Army that the other party would take the next move.
The Xiliang soldiers now divided the formation into two parts, and the team behind them removed the heavy armor from their bodies and classified and stored the long weapons, Wu Wei immediately knew that these people were unloading their burdens, and the next step would be to gather the arrows and form a large group of archers.
When this formation was attacking, it was not to break through the city defenses in one go, but to use those strong bows and crossbows to continuously throw the arrows from a distance, killing and injuring the living forces in the barracks. The other side is now taking advantage of the advantages in the hands of the people to start a war of attrition.
Compared with the desperate impact just now, this current method of operation is even more terrifying, and this method of pulling meat with a slow knife can destroy the morale of the army the most.
Now the team in the barracks is a merger of three teams, and they are not familiar with each other, and they do not have that kind of comradeship.
If too many people are shot in the barracks, I am afraid that they will not wait for the enemy to break through the punishment. Although the accuracy of this kind of arrow rain is not particularly accurate, it still has a very high lethality.
The Xiliang soldiers all have excellent iron armor, and even if they are injured by mistake, there will be no fatal damage, but the armor of the officers and soldiers is very poorly made, and some of them are not even wearing iron armor that can prevent arrows, and some light armor such as chain mail.
This armor can only prevent the slash of the sword, but it cannot prevent the shooting of arrows. If you receive a rain of arrows, the protective effect is not large. Even if you have armor on your body, I'm afraid you will be hit hard.
In this way, the number of people guarding the barracks will become smaller and smaller, and it will be difficult for them to cook without rice.
Looking at the speed of the opponent's formation change, I am afraid that it will not take a stick of incense to complete the whole team, and I must find a way to deal with it during this time, otherwise I am afraid that if I can't wait for dark, the military camp will be in danger of missing.
If you want to defeat the archers gathered behind, you must have a wandering cavalry outside the barracks, otherwise the city will be difficult to defend. However, there are not many people in the barracks now, and how to divide the troops needs to be carefully considered.
Now there are only three hundred inferior horses in the barracks, and when to use this cavalry is very critical, these horses are not fast, and the Xiliang army is good at horse cavalry field battles. It's just that now when the city is sieged, the horses are all put together.
And the enemy attacked the barracks only on three sides. The other Xiliang army did not have any fortification at all, which was to induce the officers and soldiers in the barracks to break through from here, so if the cavalry killed from here, the Xiliang army would not be able to find it for a while.
But once this cavalry is killed, I am afraid it will be very difficult to come back. How to quickly approach the archers of the Xiliang Army, and how to retreat after the enemy reacted are all difficult problems to solve.
But if there is no other way now, being trapped in the barracks is tantamount to sitting still.
Seeing that the formation of the Xiliang army has begun to be neatly aligned, if you don't make a decision and wait until the siege begins, it will be difficult to make any decisions temporarily.
Immediately, I made up my mind.
Wu Wei strode to Xu Fei's side and said to Xu Fei: "The enemy army is now assembling an archer formation, and I'm afraid that I will continue to shoot arrows in a while, because I am afraid that there will be too many accidental injuries, so the enemy's offensive will not be too fierce when attacking, this is a war of attrition in the city defense, and the purpose is to reduce the number of our side." ”
"Now there is only one way to solve this tactic of the other party, and that is to take advantage of the enemy's formation to be fixed, and Brother Xu will lead a cavalry. Secretly detoured back to the rear of the enemy's flank and suddenly rushed out to kill these assembled archers, but it was extremely dangerous to go, and I don't know if Brother Xu can take on this heavy responsibility. ”
Xu Fei listened to what Wu Wei said, and knew in his heart that the situation had reached a very critical level, otherwise Wu Wei would never say such a thing to himself.
It seems that he needs his other cavalry to fight into the enemy's army, even if he can complete the assigned task, he is afraid that there will be no return.
But now that the soldiers are in danger, he should be regarded as the highest person in this military camp, and he has the assistance of gods and horses to come and go like the wind, galloping like electricity. is the best person to lead the cavalry.
The other three sides of the barracks need to have masters to maintain the overall situation. He was reluctant to let Zhou Yun and Chu Chu accompany him on the adventure. So I made up my mind to lead the cavalry raid by myself.
So Xu Fei immediately said to Wu Wei: "Brother Wu Wei, please relax, you don't know my Xu Fei's skills, I only take a leisurely stroll among these thousands of troops, these Xiliang soldiers seem to me like that native chicken." ”
Wu Wei looked at the young man's face with a determined expression, and there was a burst of sourness in his heart, this kind of task with no return should have been undertaken by a veteran general like himself.
However, his own ability is not able to come and go freely among the thousands of people of the Xiliang soldiers, and there are many masters among those enemy troops, and they must have the ability to rush to the way out in a short time. Now only Xu Fei can do this.
Wu Wei saw that Xu Fei's face showed a full expression, so he didn't say anything more. Immediately a hundred horses in good condition were selected from among the three hundred inferior horses. Then from among the officers and soldiers in the barracks, a hundred relatively sturdy young soldiers were selected as the commandos.
Xu Fei saw that the faces of these officers and soldiers revealed a little panic, and he understood in his heart that these people saw the majestic strength of the enemy army, and these officers and soldiers were usually negligent in training, how could they be without fear.
Now we must boost the morale of these people, otherwise leading these people who have no fighting spirit in their hearts to break into the enemy's thousands of troops is equivalent to sending them to death.
Although he was confident that he would be able to fight his way out of the siege, if so many soldiers who followed him were caught in the enemy formation, he would not be able to escape alone.
Xu Fei strode in front of these hundred people, and said loudly: "All brothers and I are fighting side by side today, and they are all fellow brothers. We are going to rush to the Xiliang army in a while, just to save the hundreds of lives in the barracks, if we are trapped in the barracks, there is only a dead end. ”
"I promise today that even if a brother is trapped in the enemy's army, I will never abandon my brother, and we will fight together today to establish meritorious deeds, and not to waste the body of this seven-foot man. ”
These officers and soldiers have all seen Xu Fei's skills, and they know that this young man's skills are like a god. This time, if he leads the team and takes the lead, he will have a few more chances of winning.
Look at the white horse under this person's crotch, the tall divine horse is like a divine beast, and one person and one horse are simply the majestic gods in the sky. One by one, they all plucked up their courage and burned their fighting spirit.
Raise Xu Fei's arms and shout: "Hundreds of people go out together, hundreds of people go back together, make meritorious contributions, and return with glory." ”
This is the oath made by Xu Fei, and it is the voice of all the soldiers, this hundred assault death squad raised their arms and shouted with Xu Fei's shout, and the battle cry shook the sky and the earth, resounding throughout the entire military camp.
Wu Wei could see these situations clearly on the side, but he didn't expect this young man who was in battle for the first time to have such skills. In such a short period of time, the courage and fighting spirit of the remnants of these old and weak soldiers were stirred, and I couldn't help but admire it in my heart.
Wu Wei carefully selected a hundred shields and the sharpest saber, which was also the most sophisticated equipment in this military camp. Xu Fei asked this death squad to wait at the gate of the camp on the undefended side of the enemy. And he went on the earthen wall as usual.
At this time, the Xiliang soldiers had already begun to move forward, and this time the speed of advance was very slow, and the shield players in the front row all lined up their shields densely, like moving iron walls.
In this tactic, the Xiliang soldiers who attacked the city in front of them were actually feints, just to let the officers and troops on the wall be revealed. Immediately following in the distance, the bow team will start firing arrows.
It was already dusk, and the earth was shrouded in a twilight. The remnant sun was like blood, and the murderous aura on the battlefield seemed to be condensed into substance.
A big war is imminent.
