Chapter 119: The Decisive Battle Outside the City (Part II)
The captain who was in charge of commanding this thief army was not well-known in history, but he was the first to follow the army, then followed Zhang Bao's side, and finally was promoted to captain after a lot of work.
Before the incident, he was even just an ordinary tenant, he had only learned archery from the old hunter, and his family could have meat to eat from time to time, and he was naturally stronger than ordinary people.
This time, he followed the general of Digong and came to crusade against this army, and there were not many of them, and they actually dared to divide the troops at a critical moment.
After an hour-long onslaught, they had gained the upper hand. As long as you work harder, if you work hard, this army will inevitably collapse, and when the time comes, you only need to drive straight ahead, then you can completely defeat them.
As a result, at this time, the officers and soldiers who had divided their troops suddenly returned. The general of the earth gave him orders to lead his army to meet the battle.
When he saw the other party put on a shot preparation, he was actually very disdainful. As a general who knows how to shoot, he can see that the crossbowmen on the other side are holding a stone-level one-stone.
At this level, even if you shoot at a distance of fifty or even thirty steps, the shield has a certain probability that it can be blocked.
Even if you can't block it, you will be blocked by the armor, and there is no way to damage the soldiers. Taking advantage of this time to get close, then the crossbowmen of these officers and soldiers will naturally become lambs to be slaughtered!
But when the arrows and crossbows came at him, he realized that he was wrong, no, he was wrong, but where was it wrong? The power of these arrows and crossbows is too great!
Is this a stone bow and a stone crossbow? He suddenly became unconfident, could it be that the officers and soldiers had mastered a process of shrinking the rhubarb crossbow into a stone crossbow? Looking at the hollowness in his chest, he fell to the ground unwillingly......
In one shot, there were almost two hundred casualties, and the phalanx of the thieves paused slightly, and the formation was also chaotic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sword and shield soldiers immediately pushed forward, slammed the opponent with their shields, and stabbed out horizontally, reaping the lives of the thieves.
The pikemen stepped forward, forming a long serpent formation, and wrapped themselves towards the enemy. At the same time, every time the thieves planned to gather and form a formation, Guan Yu immediately rushed over, and a big knife killed the thieves and scattered, and he couldn't gather if he wanted to.
The soldiers were not afraid of death, and the formation that had been destroyed by the bow and crossbow was completely cracked under the tearing of the sword and shield soldiers, and then it was eaten away little by little under the encirclement of the pikemen.
When Zhang Bao noticed the situation here, the thousand thieves had been completely killed, and only more than 100 people fled back in embarrassment.
"A thousand, just that fast?" Zhang Bao couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe it, he didn't care about the camp of the officers and soldiers in front of him, they attacked for two hours, and they also killed a lot of officers and soldiers, so they paid hundreds of casualties.
Because it can be seen with the naked eye that victory is getting closer and closer, it only needs to be given him some more time, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through this camp.
It was at this time that this army of officers and soldiers came back from behind. In his memory, this army of officers and soldiers passed by Xiaquyang in the morning, and they should have gone towards the mountains and forests.
The problem is that there is a strict administration department in the mountains and forests, and in that range, the number of people is meaningless, and the mountains and forests weaken the concept of the number of people to the greatest extent.
Not to mention that he clearly remembered that this force was not very numerous, at most a thousand people. Yan Zheng's side, but there are 3,000 soldiers! With 3,000 people and the home advantage, they can't be wiped out by these officers and soldiers so quickly, right?
He soon realized that perhaps the officers and soldiers had no intention of attacking Yan Zheng at all, but had just been ambushed in the mountains and forests for a while. Wait for him to come out to attack the barracks, and then suddenly kill him in the back, enveloping him in front and back!
The key is that this officer and soldier must be the elite of this army, look at the scene in front of him, he commanded a thousand elites, and they were defeated so quickly!
Suddenly I feel like I've been deceived, but it's okay, as long as I break through this camp, as long as I break through this camp......
Zhang Bao had to continue to divide the troops, but to deal with the officers and soldiers who came over, and at the same time his attention was focused on the camp in front of him, he felt that the progress was too slow, so he shouted: "Attack, do whatever it takes to defeat me!" ”
"General, the situation has changed!" The adjutant general panicked, "The officers and soldiers have suddenly become very powerful!" ”
"Tell me, what's the best way?" Zhang Bao dragged it over and said viciously.
"Those officers and soldiers, who were about to collapse, suddenly calmed down. No, no, the period seems to skyrocket, and at the same time there are even weirder things...... Our men slashed at them with weapons, and there was no way to do harm! The adjutant general hurriedly explained.
"What are you kidding? How can there be invulnerability? Zhang Bao questioned directly, in his opinion, this is simply incredible. After following Zhang Jiao for a long time, he knew very well that there were no gods and ghosts in this world, and there were no spells.
Don't look outside and say that his brother is calling for wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, to put it bluntly, in fact, he knows a few medical skills. Zhang Jiao has always been just a healer, not an immortal. With his brilliant medical skills, he has accumulated his current fame.
Since spells do not exist, then who is not mortal in the flesh, swords can hurt, and diseases can also cause death.
What did he hear now? Originally, the battle went very smoothly and killed and injured a lot of officers and soldiers, but suddenly became invulnerable? The first feeling is that I don't believe it; The second feeling is that I think this deputy is shirking responsibility!
"General, the last general is serious, or you can go and see it!" The adjutant general pointed to the side of the barracks, "Our soldiers tried to cut it several times, but they were unable to cut the opponent's soldiers, and the soldiers who were in the front line before were about to collapse!" ”
People will have a natural fear of the unknown, even fear. The officers and soldiers who could have been hurt suddenly became invulnerable, and this picture was a little terrifying.
Especially if you can't hurt the other party, but the other party can hurt yourself, it's too bullying!
Not wanting to fight, war-weariness began to appear. There is really no way, the longer you fight, the more desperate you become, this feeling of being beaten unilaterally and passively is really bad!
"But, how did they do it?" Zhang Jiao opened his mouth, but he really couldn't figure it out.
"General, the rear army is in danger!" At this moment, a voice came from behind him, drawing his attention to the rear.
Seeing with both eyes, the troops sent over to drag the rear fell into a bitter battle again, and before they knew it, the officers and soldiers behind them had become invulnerable.
The thieves who happened to break through slashed at the officers and soldiers...... It is said that he can already kill him, but the knife has no feeling of hitting it at all, as if it has been blocked by something, and it has not been able to hurt the other party at all.
As a result, the officers and soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly launch a counterattack and kill the thieves. Before the thief went to the end, his last thought was: Am I too wronged to die......
Finding that they were invulnerable, the soldiers suddenly became excited, their combat effectiveness increased again, and the speed of advancement was further accelerated.
"Come on, I'll add more fire!" Seeing that the overall situation was gradually becoming clear, Liu Tao immediately locked the barracks and performed a 'healing technique'.
