Chapter 318: Battle (4)
The book is picked up again.
"Withdraw!!"
With Hua Xiong's shout, the knights behind him turned their horses' heads together and ran towards the rear.
They were really frightened by these prisoners, and when those prisoners attacked, their eyes were not human eyes, and the thick death air in them was really terrifying.
Seeing that the enemy wanted to run, Yan Liang and Wen Chou gathered with those prisoners, and said to them: "All soldiers, follow me to attack Dong Zhuo's rear formation!" ”
After finishing speaking, Yan Liang turned his horse's head and rushed towards Dong Zhuo's camp frantically.
The prisoners behind him did not make a noise or shout, but with a numb expression on their faces, they followed Yan Liang towards the enemy formation.
After all Huaxiong had withdrawn to the rear, Li Ru looked at the enemy troops who were following Huaxiong, smiled disdainfully, and waved his hand at the herald on the side.
After seeing Li Ru's signal, he hurriedly shouted loudly to the crossbowmen who had already drawn their bows and arrows in the distance, and shouted: "Release!" ”
"Buzz ......"
There was a scalp-tingling buzzing sound.
The overwhelming arrows, like a violent storm, rushed towards Yan Liang and the others who came forward.
Seeing this, Yan Liang shouted loudly: "Defense!" ”
So saying, he let go of the reins of his horse, and let it run on its own, wielding his broadsword in both hands against the flying arrows.
And the prisoners behind him were not so lucky.
The prisoners weren't serious soldiers in the first place, and they weren't trained much.
The reason why they perform so well on the battlefield is because they fight with the idea of dying with the enemy, so they look very powerful.
But after the baptism of this array of arrows, they instantly revealed their original form.
"Ahh
These prisoners formed an army, and although they seemed to be fearless to death, they had a fatal weakness.
That is, they have never been on the battlefield at all, so after being shot by an arrow, they don't know how to deal with it, they only hold the wound and cry out.
And after Li Ru heard that He Jin used these prisoners to form an army, he immediately formulated this plan.
First of all, let Li Yan and Hua Xiong frustrate the spirit of this army.
Then use the two of them as bait to lure the army to come to them, and finally deal with them with bows and arrows.
The plan was very simple, but it was very effective, especially for this unit.
The biggest drawback of this unit is not morale, but their experience.
Seeing the soldiers under his command being slaughtered madly by this array of bows and arrows, Yan Liang yelled frantically.
But it has no effect at all, no matter how he shouts, it is impossible for these soldiers to learn the way to survive on the battlefield in an instant.
In this rain of arrows alone, only more than 1,000 prisoners were killed and wounded.
Yan Liang is also a decisive figure, after he saw that his subordinates were too seriously injured, he took advantage of the gap in this rain of arrows and shouted to his subordinates: "All the soldiers obey the order, leave those wounded soldiers alone, take advantage of this gap, and kill with the general!! ”
"Kill!!" The prisoners, who were originally silent and only knew how to attack the enemy, after this rain of arrows, as if they had ignited the blood in their hearts, let out an earth-shattering roar, and rushed towards Dong Zhuo's camp frantically......
The people in the stands were also nervous at this time looking at the situation in the field.
Especially Liu Wei, after seeing those prisoners who were killed by a rain of arrows, he clenched his fists even tighter, and his eyes were full of blood-red, as if he wanted to rush to the battlefield in person and kill Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao looked at the situation on the battlefield and asked Li Zhi on the side: "Brother Xingzhi, you said who will win and who will lose in this war."
? ”
Originally, he could not have had this doubt, because after he knew that He Jin had formed an army with prisoners, he was completely disappointed in He Jin.
However, he did not expect that these prisoners would have such a brilliant performance.
In this war, these prisoners can be called "meritorious heroes", even those cavalry, not as bright as these prisoners.
Therefore, at this time, Cao Cao couldn't guess who would lose and who would win.
When Li Zhiyan heard this, he shook his head, looked at the direction of Dong Zhuo's military camp, and muttered to himself: "I don't know who wins or loses."
However, I know that this Li Ru must have a backhand, otherwise, he would have escorted Dong Zhuo to escape. ”
"Escape?!" Hearing this, Cao Cao asked in surprise, "Dong Zhuo dares to run away?" Isn't he afraid of being spurned by the world? ”
"Hmph......" Li Zhi sneered twice when he heard this: "For Dong Zhuo, nothing is more important than a small life!"
At the beginning, he also had the idea of backsliding, so he agreed to this fight?
I dare to say that if the war is lost, Dong Zhuo will definitely flee in a hurry and return to Liangzhou to wait for the time. ”
He knows Dong Zhuo's temper too well, in the past few years, not only Li Ru has installed spies in Beijing, but he has also arranged a lot of spies in Liangzhou, so he knows Dong Zhuo's every move and personality very well.
When Dong Zhuo agreed to this bet, Li Zhi already understood that if Dong Zhuo lost, he would definitely regret it, so he would lead 20,000 cavalry here.
This is also the reason why after seeing Li Zhi's 20,000 cavalry, Dong Zhuo wanted to regret it before making a bet.
Because of the 20,000 cavalry, after he lost, he couldn't run away at all.
"Hahaha......" Cao Cao also figured out the purpose of Li Zhi leading the troops here, and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo's plan has failed.
He didn't expect that the virtuous brother would lead an army of 20,000 to prevent him from escaping, presumably, he hated the virtuous brother in his heart at this time, right?! Haha......"
After speaking, he imagined Dong Zhuo's gritted teeth, but helpless expression, and laughed again.
Cao Cao's laughter attracted the nervous Liu Bian, and he asked with a gloomy face: "Cao Qing, are you happy that my Han people kill each other?" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao with resentment on his face.
He thinks that Cao Cao is just slapping him in the face, didn't he see that he, the emperor, was nervously watching the situation in the field? Now, Cao Cao laughed, was he laughing at him?
After hearing Liu Bian's reprimand, Cao Cao hurriedly got up and saluted Liu Bian: "Please forgive your majesty, the minister just couldn't help it for a while, and didn't laugh at the warriors off the field." ”
"Humph!" After hearing Cao Cao's explanation, Liu Wei snorted coldly, looked at Li Zhi on Cao Cao's side, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "There is a hussar general, how dare I punish you?!" ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Liu Wei, and asked expressionlessly, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
Could it be that His Majesty punishes his subordinates with the consent of the Marquis?
Or did His Majesty stop him when he punished his courtiers in the past?!
If not, I hope Your Majesty will not impose some illusory charges on Ben Hou for no reason! ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately straightened up and looked straight at Liu Wei, his sharp eyes almost bursting out.
Liu Wei didn't dare to answer Li Zhi's words, he was very afraid of Li Zhi's sharp gaze, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Li Zhi.
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that Li Zhi was blatantly threatening Liu Wei, Lu Zhi on the side immediately got up, pointed at Li Zhi's nose, and scolded loudly: "Li Xingzhi! You are also a minister of His Majesty, how dare you talk to Your Majesty like this?! ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and did not refute, he bowed slightly to Liu Wei, and said perfunctorily: "It's the minister who is presumptuous,
I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me. ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Wei with a calm gaze, but there was a threatening look in his gaze, which made people feel uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing this, Liu Wei didn't dare to put on a stand, raised his right hand that was a little trembling, and said weakly: "Hussar general, get up, I... I have forgiven your sins. ”
"I know that's the case," Li Zhi said in his heart, and immediately got up.
Then, he raised his eyebrows at Lu Zhi on the side, his face was proud, and people wanted to beat him up when they saw it, a typical villain.
Li Zhi has now figured it out, although he respects Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi is not qualified to point fingers at him.
Besides, in the future, he will definitely be an enemy of Lu Zhi, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, since this is the case, then there is no need for him to obey Lu Zhi's words.
After Lu Zhi saw Li Zhi's expression, he was furious, pointed at Li Zhi and scolded loudly: "What kind of expression is this of yours?" Do you want to beg for a fight?! ”
Lu Zhi has always regarded Li Zhi as his son and nephew, so he will beat and scold him, and will not give him any face, once Li Zhi provokes him, he will scold.
Li Zhi had long had enough of Lu Zhi's violent temper.
He squinted his eyes slightly, looked straight at Lu Zhi, and said calmly: "Duke Lu, Ben Hou respects you, it doesn't mean that you can disrespect Ben Hou!"
Ben Hou is a hussar general, although you are one of the three dukes, but you are not qualified to reprimand Ben Hou!
In the past, Ben Hou respected you as a person, so he let it be left to you and let you beat and scold.
However, on this occasion, I hope that Lu Highway will be more respectful, otherwise..."
Speaking of this, Li Zhi's eyes sharpened: "Otherwise, don't blame Benhou's subordinates for being ruthless!" ”
"You ......" Lu Zhi trembled with anger, pointed at Li Zhi with a trembling finger, and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Smack!"
"Humph!" Li Zhi folded the fan from his waist, suddenly pointed at Lu Zhi's hand at him, hit it aside, snorted coldly, and said: "Duke Lu is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, don't you even understand etiquette?"
Pointing your finger at the hussar general, is it what you, one of the Three Princes, should do?!
If Lu Gong doesn't know what etiquette is, Ben Hou doesn't mind hiring an etiquette teacher to teach you well! ”
......After Li Zhi's words were finished, Lu Zhi only felt that his chest was bored, and his body was a little unstable, and he took a few steps back before being supported by the person behind him.
The person who helped him was Yang Qiu, and he looked at Li Zhi with a gloomy face: "Hussar General, even if your official position is greater than Brother Lu."
But Brother Lu is older than you, you should always know that the elder and the young are inferior, right?!
As a junior, aren't you afraid that the world will spurn you by spitting your elders like this?! ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he shook his head: "Yang Gong, don't change your concept, Ben Hou doesn't eat this set."
In private, of course, Ben Hou will respect Lu Gong.
But this was on a formal occasion, and Ben Hou was now a hussar general, not Li Xingzhi.
Lu Gong's words just now were an insult to the position of hussar general.
Now he is on the battlefield, and Ben Hou is a hussar general who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses.
Strictly speaking, based on Lu Gong's scolding just now, Ben Hou has the right to take down Lu Gong and engage in military law! ”
To be honest, Li Zhi hates Yang Qiu, a person who relies on the old and sells the old, so he is not polite when he speaks, and his tone is very impulsive.
"You ......"
Yang Qiu was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Zhiyang, who had eased up.
Then, he looked at Li Zhi with a complicated face for a while, sighed, and said, "......"
