Chapter 1329: The Beginning of the Edge
"Lined up, with the shield-wielding sergeant first, the spear-wielding sergeant second, and the crossbowmen last, holding their respective positions. Ye Shikai shouted loudly, this cave entrance is extremely narrow, only three people can be side by side, if more than fifty sergeants are lined up, I am afraid that they will be surrounded by robbers, but the entrance of the cave is a "natural pass".
Although there are many robbers, they are disorganized, like a group of ants, Ye Shikai is deployed like this, like a hedgehog shrunken into a ball, leaving no flaws at all, even if the number of robbers is several times that of them, they can't "bite" at all.
"They're here, kill me. After the wooden wall was burned to ashes, hundreds of robbers immediately poured in, and Ye Shikai's heart trembled faintly, this is also his first battle in the Qin Dynasty, the key is that the grain and grass of more than 1,000 stones behind him must be kept in everything, even if they are desperate, of course, they are now "fighting against the water", there is no way out, if the grain and grass are really burned, then there is only one situation, that is, they are all killed.
"How far are they. ”
"It's a long time, and there's still a hundred steps to go. ”
"Wait until fifty paces to report. ”
"He's fifty paces. ”
"Wait until thirty steps to report. Ye Shikai's eyes looked through the gap between the sergeants, and he kept looking at the robbers in the distance, like a group of hungry wolves that saw food, and pounced, but this time they miscalculated, put a sharp arrow into the crossbow, and Ye Shikai's fingers slowly put on the trigger.
"It's thirty paces. ”
The sergeant in the front row crouched down, and the crossbowman released his arrows. Ye Shikai gave an order, and the sergeant with a shield, a gun and a knife in front immediately knelt on one knee, revealing the vision ahead, Ye Shikai and more than a dozen crossbowmen raised their crossbows violently, and a row of sharp arrows shot out instantly, and the robbers in front fell in response.
"One more shot. Ye Shikai reloaded an arrow and pulled the trigger, the crossbow arrow of the Qin Dynasty was very powerful, and at a distance of thirty steps, the arrow was enough to shoot through a person.
"It's a long time, it's only ten steps. ”
"The sergeants in the front row stood up and held their positions, and everyone listened to my command. Ye Shikai shouted loudly, walked to the front row, and stood behind the gunman, seeing the robbers approaching step by step, Ye Shikai's heart kept beating
Bang.
The robbers crashed into the shields, and a group of people poured into the hole like a tidal wave, and several shield-wielding men seemed to be a little weak and were pushed backwards.
"Everybody resisted. Ye Shikai personally went into battle, standing behind them, stabilizing the morale of the army, limited by the narrowness of the cave entrance, no matter how many people there were, it was not strong at all, plus the robbers had not undergone much training, and their physical fitness was far inferior to that of the trained sergeants, but they only took a few steps back, and the military formation quickly stabilized its position.
The shield-bearers scattered, and shot their guns. ”
"Ahh ”
As soon as Ye Shikai's order was given, he heard a scream, how could the robbers think that Ye Shikai still had this trick, the sharp spear pierced out from the gap between the shields, those robbers were originally dead to the shield soldiers, and now they could only watch the tip of the gun pierce into the body, wanting to retreat, and the robbers behind him had already blocked the back
More than a dozen robbers were stabbed and fell, and the corpses made the already narrow hole more crowded, although the robbers did not know how to arrange the formation, but they were also afraid of death, who dared to go up with the tip of the gun, wouldn't that be death, so when they saw the military formation out of the gun, they retreated one after another, Ye Shikai took advantage of the situation to let the shield soldiers move forward, and the military formation slowly moved forward, between the two sides advancing and retreating, the victory and defeat could already be distinguished.
After a battle, none of the Qin soldiers were injured, but the robbers died twenty or thirty people, if it wasn't for the people behind to take the corpses out, I'm afraid that this pile of tired corpses alone would be enough to block the entrance to the cave.
With so many dead and wounded people, those robbers didn't dare to mess around, unless they could disrupt the Qin army's position, it was impossible to break through this hole, one kind of robbers slowly retreated, and the Qin army moved forward step by step.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat. The sergeant in the military formation shouted loudly, giving the robbers a great shock in the aura, they have not received professional training, if they are at a disadvantage, it is extremely easy to collapse and scatter, and in the final analysis, in the Qin Dynasty, if they are caught, they must be beheaded for capital crimes, and they will even sit on their families, so in the end, they are still afraid.
"Lay down your weapons, and I will spare your lives. Ye Shikai shouted loudly.
"Put down your weapons. ”
"Put down your weapons. ”
The sergeants shouted loudly, those robbers had long lost their will to fight, and they also knew that this operation to grab food was a surprise attack, a sneak attack, if there was a stalemate, when the reinforcements of the Qin State arrived, they were afraid that none of them would be able to leave.
"I'm quitting. Sure enough, under this kind of deterrence, soon there were robbers who couldn't bear it, one of them threw down the long sword in his hand, and ran backwards as if he was crazy, Ye Shikai was happy in his heart, it seems that the attack plan has worked.
Wipe.
Then, the scene in the next second caught both sides off guard, the robber who had just escaped, was killed by a knife before he could run a few steps, and he was simply neat.
"They were at the entrance of the cave, and there was no way to escape from it, so we set fire to them and burned them. The killer slowly walked out of the ranks of the robbers and shouted loudly.
"Yes, we burned them. ”
"Burn. ”
As he spoke, the robbers gathered many torches and threw them into the hole.
"Ahem, what's the matter, if we don't rush out, even if we don't get burned, we will be smoked to death. "People who have encountered fires know that in the midst of flames, the first thing to kill is not the flames, but the smoke, which chokes people to tears, not to mention, and will fall into a coma if they smoke too much.
"Throw the torches out, and the shieldmen will block them. Ye Shikai asked the sergeant with the shield to block it, and asked the sergeant behind him to throw the torches thrown in again, but even so, the entrance to the cave was still shrouded in black smoke, and the entrance to the cave was already narrow and difficult to ventilate, but if he went out desperately, as soon as the army was scattered, he would be "devoured" by the robbers.
"All of them obeyed my command, squatted down, tore off a piece of cloth, drenched it with a jug, and covered it over their mouths and noses. "Ye Shikai has no way now, the only option to survive is to stay where he is, try to persevere, and wait until Shangguan Jian brings someone to kill him.
"If we lose, not only will we die, but our wives and children, and our parents will suffer. Ye Shikai kept encouraging everyone, most of the sergeants were young adults in Shangshui Village, so they naturally understood the meaning of these grains behind them, coupled with Ye Shikai's words, as if he had eaten a reassuring pill, clenched his weapons, and just waited for Shangguan Jian's reinforcements to arrive, and then he would work together to annihilate these robbers.
