Chapter 178: The Strongest Shield

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army at the exit of the Pingfeng Valley were different, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army at the entrance of the Pingfeng Valley were slowly entering the Pingfeng Valley.

One by one looks dejected, the military merit can't be grabbed, and the reward is naturally nothing, I just hope that the 20,000 horses in front of me can leave some 'soup' for themselves and others after some looting.

When one of the unhappy people starts complaining, the dissatisfaction is like a contagious disease, so that all kinds of resentment and inequality appear in the hearts of the whole group.

There is quite a look of 'one person in the corner, full of unhappiness'.

It's useless to complain, but it seems that when you talk about it, you can feel a lot more comfortable.

While the group of soldiers were complaining to each other, a neat 'rolling thunder' was suddenly heard from far and near.

I saw that not far away, a tall and heavily armored Xuanwu Army soldier slowly came towards the entrance of Pingfeng Valley under the leadership of his main general Liu Hu.

When the rear generals of the Xiliang Army saw the ranks of the Xuanwu Army, their hearts trembled slightly.

The power of the Xuanwu Army, he has seen it.

That's an infantry that dares to stand up to the cavalry.

There is only one sentence in the overall evaluation, and that is: a fierce force, oh, it should be a group.

Therefore, while organizing his soldiers to attack the Xuanwu Army, the rear army generals of the Western Liang Army sent people to the front army to report to Li Dao and other people in charge.

Just as the rear army of the Western Liang Army was preparing to attack the Xuanwu Army, it was discovered that the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army did not attack the soldiers of the Western Liang Army after they arrived, but placed a large number of obstacles at the entrance.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army stayed where they were, wondering for a while: "What are they going to do here?" It looks like I'm afraid we'll run away. However, it seems that we should be afraid that they will run away. ”

The rear army general of the Xiliang Army is a battle-hardened person, although he doesn't know why the Xuanwu Army on the opposite side is doing this, but he intuitively feels that 'there must be a demon when something goes wrong'.

Then he said to his soldiers: "What are you doing in a daze, give it to me." ”

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army seemed to be still silent in the complaint just now, and when they heard the words of the general, they said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know what people are going to do, just go up!" How did you meet such a stupid general. ”

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction; To complain is to complain.

In any army, there are regulations on military orders, and the generals give the order to attack, who does not listen to the order and is immediately killed, who dares not to go?

Therefore, this group of Xiliang soldiers killed the Xuanwu army listlessly.

Even if they are full of energy, they will not necessarily cause substantial damage to the Xuanwu Army, which is full of heavy armor and 'invulnerable', let alone the current state?

Liu Hu asked five hundred Xuanwu soldiers to step forward immediately to block the soldiers of the Xiliang army.

The main purpose is to prevent the soldiers of the Xiliang Army from destroying these obstacles, because these obstacles will be of great use against the cavalry.

......

Han Cheng and the others on the top of the mountain watched as the entrance to Pingfeng Valley was blocked by the Xuanwu Army, and the exit of Pingfeng Valley was blocked by boulders.

Then everyone rejoiced: the plan had succeeded, and it was time for the harvest.

Now that the 'turtle' had entered the urn, Han Cheng casually ordered to the soldiers on the top of the valley: "Feel free to release arrows and throw stones." ”

Why give the order to release arrows casually?

This is not Han Cheng's joke, because the soldiers on the top of the valley are all auxiliaries of the Xuanwu Army, and they are not proficient in archery, even if they shoot arrows accurately, they are not accurate.

The most important thing is the narrow terrain in the Pingfeng Valley, which restricts the 30,000 troops of the Xiliang Army.

Although the hit rate of random archery is extremely low, the rate of fire is fast.

Overall, the damage to the Xiliang Army is not much different from the result of accurate archery.

The soldiers of the Fenwu Army on the top of Pingfeng Valley were casually placing bows and arrows, throwing stones and other hurtful objects; And the soldiers of the Xiliang Army in Pingfeng Valley were tortured like hell.

In the face of arrows falling from the sky, there is no way to dodge; In the face of a boulder falling from the sky, you can't hide even if you want to.

For a time, the unsuspecting soldiers of the Xiliang Army suffered heavy casualties.

Guo Yan watched his soldiers constantly being shot by arrows or being killed by boulders, and his heart was anxious.

He shouted to one of the soldiers at the front of the line, "Push me away from the broken stones at the exit, and I will lead the army out of the way." ”

However, after a cup of tea, the soldier came back and reported: "General, the stone is too big for the brothers to push." ”

When Guo Yan heard the report of the military candidate, a nameless fire was born in his heart.

Drawing the sharp saber he had brought with him, the general was slashed to the ground.

Then he yelled hysterically: "Grandma, all the usual strength is spent on women? When it was time to save his life, he said that he had no strength and that it was not a pity to die. ”

Seeing this situation, Zhang Ji knew that the soldier in front of him really couldn't push, after all, in this time of life and death, that soldier would not work hard?

Zhang Ji thought for a moment and said to Li Dao: "Brother Zhiran, I think we should still kill from the entrance."

When I came, I didn't see a boulder around the entrance.

Even if the Fenwu Army finds the boulder temporarily, as long as our speed is fast enough, the Fenwu Army will not be able to block the entrance. When the time comes, we will have a glimmer of life. ”

Li Ji also had this intention in his heart, and after hearing Zhang Ji's words, he immediately ordered: "All the soldiers obey the order and kill from the entrance." ”

Xu Shu saw the Xiliang army rushing towards the entrance, and said to Han Cheng: "Lord, although the Xiliang army has lost a lot of soldiers, after all, there are still a lot of numbers, and the Xuanwu army only has three thousand people, I'm afraid it will ......."

Xu Shu, who has just returned to obedience, is not good to continue to talk about the following words.

But Han Cheng understood what Xu Shu meant.

Han Cheng said calmly: "Don't worry, Yuanzhi, the Xuanwu Army is the strongest shield in my Fenwu Army. You just have to watch quietly, after this battle, you will know the strength of the Xuanwu Army. ”

......

When the bows and arrows in the valley fell like a torrential rain, the soldiers of the Western Liang Army rushed to the entrance of Pingfeng Valley.

In the Xuanwu army formation

For the first time, Liu Hu commanded a battle alone, and looked at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who came from the opposite side, and felt a little nervous.

When he was nervous, Liu Hu remembered that when he was first reused, it was also the time when Han Cheng had just established the Xuanwu Army.

Han Cheng stood on the platform and shouted at the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army:

"Brothers, you are heavily armoured, you are invulnerable, you are the strongest shield in my army.

But do you know what you rely on?

I want to tell you today that what you rely on is not your strong physique, nor the heavy armor you wear, nor the weapons in your hands, but the spirit, a team spirit, a spirit of everyone working together to overcome sorrow.

You have to face the cavalry, when a soldier is knocked down, there will be two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine hands behind him to help him, and there will be two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine mouths to tell him, brother is fine, you and us, there will also be two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine men, fill his vacancy, still hold the position. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Hu gasped, forced himself to calm down, and kept telling himself in his heart: "Liu Hu, you can do it!" You also have the three thousand brothers of the Xuanwu Army. ”

Liu Hu saw that the soldiers on the opposite side were only thirty steps away from his military formation, and shouted loudly: "Today, we want to let the people of the world know the majesty of our Xuanwu Army, and the Xuanwu Army listens to the order and defends the formation!" War! ”

"Fight!" The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army used the loudest shouts to express the fighting spirit in their hearts and respond to Liu Hu's words.

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army waited in the military formation at the entrance of Pingfeng Valley like a venerable god of war.

Although they were wearing heavy armor and expending their physical strength at all times, they were not in a hurry at all.

Because the Xiliang army on the opposite side was more anxious than them, the Xuanwu army was waiting, just consuming physical strength, while the Xiliang army was waiting, but it was consuming life.

The soldiers of the Xiliang army did not know how many bows and arrows and how many stones were on the top of the valley, only that there were brothers dying every moment.

Before Li Dao's men arrived, the generals of the rear army of the Xiliang Army received a military order to 'open a way to retreat, and those who violated the order were beheaded'.

The generals of the rear army knew through the urgent military orders and the dictation of the heralds that the soldiers in the valley had been ambushed, and the time was quite short.

He immediately ordered: "The whole army is attacking!" ”。

The Xuanwu army occupied the best terrain at the entrance, and the Xiliang army could only attack more than 200 people at a time.

The main branches of the rear army were infantry, because the cavalry rushed to the front of the line in pursuit of their military exploits.

However, looking at it now, they are not chasing military feats, but the footsteps of death.

When the infantry of the Xiliang Army met the Xuanwu Army, it was like a baby meeting a man in his prime.

In terms of the length of weapons, the weapons of the Xuanwu Army all have a long pole, and before you Xiliang soldiers arrive, people will poke you;

In terms of the defensive power of the armor, the armor of the Xuanwu Army is 'invulnerable', while the Xiliang soldiers only have a body of leather armor, the kind that pokes a hole.

Finally, in terms of strength, the Xuanwu Army is a carefully selected sturdy man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the two Xiliang soldiers are not necessarily as strong as a Xuanwu Army soldier, and the number of attacking soldiers in the Xiliang Army is still very small.

The result can be imagined.

Half an hour later, although the Xiliang Army had paid more than a thousand losses, the Xuanwu Army's formation still did not move, and only replaced the hundreds of tired soldiers at the front.

At this moment, Li Dao and others came.

came with Li Dao, as well as the cavalry of the Xiliang Army.

As soon as Li Dao arrived here, he saw the Xuanwu Army on the battlefield, and he was helpless and furious: "It's really a good time for this group of 'Tiegada' to come. If it was in an open field, it would be completely possible for the cavalry to run to their death, but in this situation, with this kind of terrain, their Xiliang army had to use their lives to pile up a way. ”

Li Dao immediately ordered: "The infantry retreats, and the cavalry charges." ”

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army watched the cavalry rush towards their own formation, knowing that the real opponent was coming.

The more than 1,000 infantry in front of him was just an appetizer.

The Xuanwu Army had different formations against cavalry and infantry, and Liu Hu's voice sounded again: "Change formation, stand spear, fight!" ”

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army scattered in formation, leaving only half a horse between the soldiers and the soldiers, and then put the long pole of the weapon on the ground and leaned against the weapon tightly, relying on the earth, the length of the weapon and their own strong physique to confront the cavalry head-on.

The first batch of more than 200 Xiliang cavalry rushed into the military formation of the Xuanwu Army, and in just an instant, they were killed.

But on the face of Li Dao, the chief general of the Xiliang Army, there was no trace of distress, and he only listened to Li Dao order again: "If you don't want to die, go on!" ”

More than 200 Xiliang cavalry rushed into the military formation of the Xuanwu Army, and then died, then another batch, and then another batch......

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army at the front, under the constant impact of the Xiliang cavalry, kept dying and retreating.

But as long as there was a vacancy in the position, a soldier of the Xuanwu Army silently stepped forward to fill the position.

The cavalry of the Western Liang Army was like the waves of the rising tide, wave after wave towards the Xuanwu Army, the number of the Xuanwu Army continued to decrease in the 'waves', but the position of the Xuanwu Army was still like a rock in the sea, not moving at all.

Han Cheng, who was at the top of Pingfeng Valley, looked at the decreasing soldiers on the Xuanwu Army's position, his heart was dripping blood, every soldier was carefully selected by himself; Each of these soldiers is the embodiment of his own hard work.

However, a large part of them are now left here, and although their names will live forever, their lives are over.

It was the first time Xu Shu saw such a big battle, looking at the corpses of the Xiliang Army soldiers piled up in front of the Xuanwu Army's position, his face was shocked, and he said to Han Cheng: "This Xuanwu Army under the lord is indeed the strongest shield in the Fenwu Army as the lord said." But I feel that this Xuanwu army will be the strongest shield in the world. Even Yuan Shao's elite 'first to die first' can't compare. ”

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Lord, the physical strength of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army is almost consumed, and the Xiliang Army has now suffered at least half of the casualties, let the Xiliang Army go, after all, there are still General Pan Feng and them behind." ”

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Han Cheng just looked at Xu Shu quietly, looking thoughtful.

After a few breaths, Han Cheng said to the herald beside him: "Give orders, tell Liu Hu, let him retreat, and let the Xiliang army go." ”

The herald issued Han Sung's order to the Xuanwu Army at the entrance of Pingfeng Valley.

Liu Hu, who was in the position of the Xuanwu Army, saw the order on the top of the valley and made a way.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army saw the road let out by the Xuanwu Army, as if they saw the hand of the goddess of hope, regardless of the three, seven and twenty-one, and rushed away.
