Volume II, Chapter 44

With Yang Gu's order, more than 100 crossbowmen once again converted into a combat state, with the previous first shooting experience, the current shooting action can be said to be in one go, Yang Gu personally threw himself into it, grabbed one of the crossbowmen, personally launched the arrow, scolded and scolded constantly, it was really a hatred of the appearance of the Yellow Turban thief.

The crossbowmen who stood on the camp wall with Yang Gu naturally thought that Yang Gu was a volley of yellow turban thieves and fell down from the watchtower, and they were angry and angry, so they made this move, but seeing the boss like this, everyone was naturally confident and morale doubled, and the shooting speed of the arrows was much faster.

However, Huang Ting, the leader of the team under the camp wall, was actually stunned, the scene of Yang Gu's fierce shooting in front of him was really unimaginable A moment ago, this person actually said such words to serve the moth thief, so that at this moment, Huang Ting was actually a little in a trance, what Yang Gu did, what he said and thought, was it really just to live in this world? Liu Biao is the main one, abandoning his people in this dangerous place and ignoring it, his people can regard Liu Biao and even the Han as dung, and give birth to the idea of serving the moth thief, and then the moth thief shoots a volley of arrows, threatening Yang Gu's life, and his people can be like a ghost, killing the moth thief who intends to serve him, in front and behind, as if for Yang Gu, there is no owner at all, and it is this kind of idea that as a native of the Han Dynasty, Huang Ting, who is led by the dignified tiger army, is naturally incomprehensible.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Yang Gu turn around and shout loudly to himself: "Zijun, you hurry up to the wall!" ”

Huang Ting let out a sigh of relief, didn't think about it anymore, held the long knife on his waist, and made a vertical leap to Yang Gu's side.

Yang Gu took advantage of the situation to hold Huang Ting's palm, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, pointing to the direction of the moth thief in front of him and said: "The moth thief has taken precautions this time, and it is protected by a wooden shield, although the bow and crossbow of our army are strong, but two hundred steps away, it is difficult to cause damage after all, how should this be?" ”

Huang Ting looked from afar, but saw that the Yellow Turban thieves were in a team of fifty people, each holding a half-length large wooden shield, where the Han army fired a volley, these shield-wielding moth thieves immediately half-squatted and stopped, and waited for the Han army to operate the crossbow machine in the gap, before they approached together, so that the Han army's more than 100 crossbowmen had nothing to do, so that even a moth thief was not shot or even injured, but although the front team of these moth thieves was slower, they had already crossed the second trench, Came to the place where the corpses of the moth thieves had been piled up earlier.

"The range of the crossbow arrow is straight, although the power is strong, but the moth thief shield is one hundred and fifty steps away, and it is impossible to kill the enemy with this." Huang Tingchang sighed and said truthfully.

"I naturally know this truth, in Zijun's opinion, how should our army break the moth thief in such a battle?" Yang Gu nodded again and again, asked eagerly, slapped his forehead again, and replied with a laugh: "The trajectory of the crossbow arrow is straight, but the trajectory of the bow and arrow is not like this. ”

Huang Ting glanced at Yang Gu, and then looked at the Yellow Turban front team in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said: "If you attack with a bow and arrow, you can naturally kill and injure the moth thieves, but my camp is full of recruits who have never been on the battlefield and have never drawn a strong bow, and it is not as easy as shooting with a crossbow to shoot with a bow, what kind of number of archers can be formed by Yang Team Rate?" ”

"There's no need to worry about that." Yang Gu had already heard Huang Tingyu's analysis of the current war by the archers, and even said in his opinion: "The salvo of ten thousand arrows from the moth thieves really scared me, these moth thieves are just some peasant leaders, they can make such bows and arrows, although our soldiers are new troops, how can they not do it?" ”

Between the words, I saw Yang Gu turn around on the spot and shout to the soldiers in the camp who were hiding in various dark places: "Open the camp gate, the soldiers on the left will hold shields, and the front of the camp will be in formation." ”

Although the Yellow Turban thieves at the bottom of the slope at this moment have not had any more bows and arrows to shoot, and the panic in the camp is also suppressed and contained by Huang Ting on the spot, but a moment ago there was only a round of arrow rain, although there were not many dead and wounded among the Han soldiers in the camp, but there were many people who were afraid and scared in their hearts.

Yang Gu knew that everyone's frightened demeanor was caused by the previous round of arrow rain of moth thieves, and he couldn't drink to make all the soldiers act according to orders, and when he was angry and worried, he saw a tall, thin and handsome soldier flash out next to the barracks near the gate of the village on the left, and said loudly: "There are a large number of moth thieves and archers, and we can't stop such a rain of arrows from hiding in this camp. ”

Yang Gu's eyes narrowed, he was quite angry, and shouted to the handsome soldier: "Who are you, dare to disobey my military orders?" ”

"It's not that the rebel team leads the military order, but this military order is really ridiculous, if His Highness is here, there will never be such a decision!"

"Bold fanatics, Your Highness is decisive, and you have to speculate as vertically as you do." Yang Gu was already standing on the camp wall on the left, only ten steps away from the soldier who spoke, seeing his expression and words, and seeing that the dozens of soldiers behind him all echoed it, his heart was already extremely worried. Thinking that he was the supreme commander of the battalion appointed by Liu Wei, but now he had little room to speak for a nobody's refutation, and the intention of killing and standing up rose in the middle of the fight, and he saw that he touched the dagger he was carrying at his waist, but his right hand had just touched the scabbard, and he thought that the dagger that Liu Wei had left to himself as a token was inserted on the wooden stake of the watchtower, and his heart couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he didn't know how to act for a moment.

The handsome soldier seemed to see Yang Gu's small action, raised his eyebrows, and actually sneered and sarcastically: "Isn't it the Yang team who is a bold fanatic?" Even the dagger given by His Royal Highness can be left behind, dare to ask Yang Team to still remember His Highness in his heart? ”

Yang Gu's cheeks were red, his brows were locked, although he was already very angry, but because what this handsome soldier said was the truth, the matter of leaving the dagger was suddenly said for him, naturally it was obvious to the whole battalion of soldiers, that is, he wanted to step forward to kill this person at this moment, but he had already lost the hearts of the people, and he didn't wait for Yang Gu to react, the handsome soldier became even more intense, and turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "All the soldiers, we are all soldiers under His Royal Highness, he will be able to enjoy the wealth of the world one day, and the villain on this wall is despicable and incompetent, He asked us to go out of the camp and send us to death, although we are strong men, not afraid of life and death, but we are sent by him so absurdly, and die for no reason, but is it reasonable? ”

There are no less than 100 people who echo it loudly!

The handsome man claimed kindness, turned his head to look at Yang Gu again, and then continued to look at the soldiers behind him, and was about to shout the order, but he couldn't speak, and suddenly felt that his neck was hot, and the handsome head was already taken off by Huang Ting, who jumped down from the camp wall, with a pair of eyes full of questions.

All the soldiers exclaimed in unison, but they saw Huang Ting holding up the handsome head and said loudly: "Lie before the battle, behead according to military law." ”

The more than 100 soldiers who were still echoing loudly a moment ago didn't dare to say another word, and Huang Ting didn't reproach when he saw this, so he hung his head under the camp gate on the left side of the camp, returned to the same place, bowed to Yang Gu, who was standing on the camp wall, and said: "Go out of the camp and line up, and I am willing to take the tiger ben soldiers under my command to do this." ”

After a long time, Yang Gu came back to his senses, and Zhiwu said, "Are Zijun and the Tiger Ben soldiers personally arrayed?" ”

Before Huang Ting could reply, nearly twenty sturdy men in each battalion flashed out, all standing behind Huang Ting, and they all bowed their hands and replied in unison: "I'm willing to go!" ”

These many tiger soldiers, including Huang Ting, who led the team, were actually specially selected to stay in the camp as commanders of various units of the new army before Yang Gu and Zhang Liao divided the camp, and to put it bluntly, they were the generals and generals of all sizes among these 700 people.

Yang Gu had Huang Ting kill the disobedient soldiers in public to suppress the army's heart, and his heart was already grateful, and seeing that his people were willing to be the front team, he volunteered to take the whole battalion of tiger soldiers out of the camp to line up, and the excitement in his heart was difficult to suppress, and he actually jumped in front of Huang Ting, clasped his hands, and said sincerely: "The front line of the Zijun camp is to win the opportunity for our bow and arrow square, but this time the camp door is wide open, and the initiative to go out of the camp will make the moth thief crazy. Although the iron shield can block the attack of arrow rain a little, but the matter of life and death is unpredictable after all, Zijun can think about it clearly? ”

"There is only one thing to ask Yang team to lead to." Huang Ting chuckled and shook his head, he didn't hesitate about what Yang Gu said, and then took out his hands from Yang Gu's hands and bowed his hands and said: "I also ask Yang to give an order to bring the flag and honor guard of His Royal Highness in front of the Chinese military tent out of the camp and stand in the middle of the formation with us." ”

"What does that mean?"

"The tens of thousands of moth thieves did not flank Sun Sima and Cheng Sima in front, but besieged and attacked our seven hundred soldiers here, because our department is under the command of His Royal Highness."

Yang Gu frowned and nodded, and responded: "This is the truth. ”

"In that case, I intend to show the banner to the moth thief, but to inform the moth thief that His Highness is in this camp."

Yang Gu's mind was active, and through Huang Ting's narration, he already knew a thing or two in a blink of an eye, and immediately went up to Yang Gu's place half a step in front of him, and asked softly: "Zijun wants to lure the enemy?" ”

Huang Ting also lowered his voice and asked softly, "Does Team Yang think it's feasible?" ”

"If the flag of His Highness is set up outside the camp gate, or if the moth thief can stop firing arrows, it is really a good thing for Zijun and the tiger soldiers."

"Not only that, but if the moth thieves see His Highness's guard of honor here, they will definitely be able to make the thieves invade in a big way." Huang Ting's face showed a hint of cunning, but his voice was even lowered: "At that time, the shield army of the front team of the moth thief is in chaos, and Team Yang only needs to order a salvo of bows and crossbows, and he will definitely be able to achieve a great victory." ”

Yang Gu was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Huang Ting's shoulder and laughed.

However, Huang Ting's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to whisper: "It's just that how does Team Yang know that the thief will know that the other Sima written in this banner is His Highness?" I looked at the enemy's flag, but I didn't see the flag of the general. ”

Yang Gu laughed constantly, and said: "Zijun doesn't know it's ordinary, although Bocai is not here, but the Runan Peng Tuo written on the moth thief's flag is also similar to Bocai, and he is a member of the moth thief in the Yingchuan realm, Qu Shuai, who knows that this Tianwei is invincible and Sima Dang is His Royal Highness." ”

Huang Ting suddenly realized, immediately took a step back, bowed his hand and said again: "In this way, there is no doubt about it." ”

Yang Gu also bowed back, turned around and shouted to the soldiers guarding the camp gate: "Open the camp gate!" ”
