Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter 21 Killing the thief in anger and retreating from the enemy for the second time

The door of the six-alloy car formation was wide open, and the pirates rushed up, and the mountain took the lead in the charge, and took the lead in fighting with Qingcheng. However, although the Great Qi Army was inspired by Qingcheng to rise in momentum, not afraid of the enemy, and fought hard, the gap in strength can be fully reflected in hand-to-hand combat.

Winning more with less has never been a myth in the long history of China, and it can even be said that senior generals have always liked to win more with less. This is not conceit, but self-confidence from the depths of the heart, and at the same time, it is also the most advantageous decision to make to preserve the strength after carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and the enemy.

If you can use ten people to win it, why use a hundred? You must know that marching and fighting are related to people's livelihood, finances and other important matters, so it is natural to have less and less. Of course, the premise is that there is a certainty of victory. Therefore, in fact, to judge whether a general is smart, the number of soldiers is also a standard measure.

However, we can judge from this, isn't Qingcheng a famous general? No, if he is now leading the Qingcheng Army, or the Dragoon Army of the King of Northern Xinjiang, the regular army of the Wanli Army, etc., Qingcheng is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. However, what he was now bringing with him was the garrison of Linhai City, which had been exhausted after the battle, and a thousand new soldiers.

However, even so, Qingcheng decided to win the first round with 3,000 against 8,000. This kind of heroism and ability to lead troops is indeed worthy of being the queen of the Duan family in Qingyu City.

"Our side has suffered nearly 300 casualties, on the other hand, on the pirate side, there have been thousands of casualties in the two rounds of battles, but there is still a huge disparity in the total strength. You can't let ordinary soldiers make senseless sacrifices. ”

Qingcheng shot at the face gate at the bottom of the mountain, and although the latter avoided the fatal wound, he was still cut through the skin by Qingcheng's gun. And after Qingcheng forced him to retreat from the mountain with one move, he did not love to fight and attack, but retreated into the formation, held the thunder and lightning horizontally, and then kicked the gun vigorously, and the thunder flashed at the pirate, forcing back a wave of attack.

The spear bounced back, Qingcheng grabbed it, and at the same time shouted an order, shouting: "The archer listens to the order!" Target the pirates in the back row, and fire all the arrows! Swords and axes mutiny! Rely on the outward Liuhe pressure to attack, target the front row of pirates, and stop and kill with all your might! ”

After a new round of formations, the archer's role became to block the pirates in the rear, control the supply cycle of enemy forces, and order heavily armed axemen to participate in the battle, sharing the pressure between infantry and spearmen. This is indeed a good effect, but it is still desperate to fight, in the long run, the enemy is tired, and Qingcheng also knows that it is not the best policy. Therefore, the key to breaking the formation is still on Thunder Shadow.

The two sides fought, and the wind once again aimed at the bottom of the mountain, vowing to avenge the tragic death of the people of Daqi, so he raised his knife and gathered his strength, rushed to the front of the mountain with an arrow step, and slashed at his head with his weapon raised. Yamashita was wounded twice and was already cowardly, but looking at the galloping wind, he still held the knife in both hands and stabbed it into the abdomen, intending to attack instead of defending.

"I have to pay for your life this time, drink!"

Looking at the offensive under the mountain, the wind shouted angrily, and did not avoid it, vowing to take the enemy's head. I saw that his wrist flipped to the left, the big knife in his hand fell, and he slashed counterclockwise forward, cutting off the double knives under the mountain. At the same time, Blifeng's body rotated, rolled over and landed, and fell behind the mountain. He didn't stop after he landed, he held the knife in one hand, turned his body clockwise, and his right arm gathered his strength to slash at the neck of the mountain.

"Go to hell, brute!"

The wind slashed through the sword, and before the mountain could react, his head had already moved, and his body fell to the ground, and a fountain of blood spurted out of his neck, and some of them sprayed onto the left side of the wind's face, like a killing gesture, scaring off the pirates.

"What a gale! The snake has no head, and as soon as this man dies, the morale of the pirates is even lower, and it is an opportunity to counterattack. ”

"Who's next? Come and die! ”

The wind also knew what Qingcheng was thinking, and with the death of the mountain, the deterrent power on his body was not reduced, and he advanced step by step, forcing the pirates to retreat one after another. And Qingcheng looked at this situation, changed his formation again, and ordered the archers to stop attacking, but pulled their bows and arrows, and stood by to attack. At the same time, the shield soldiers were ordered to quickly return to the defense and re-establish the fortifications. The infantry and axemen retreated into the camp to repair, and the spearmen accompanied the shieldmen to keep watch.

Kamizumi Nobuyoshi, who was not far away, also saw the death under the mountain, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, but the war was important, so he quickly sorted out his emotions and began to change formations. Seeing that his hands were raised high, his swords interlaced, and the pirates received the order and began to retreat. This indicates that the second round of Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi's offensive also ended in a fiasco.

However, the battlefield was ruthless, but Qingcheng did not give Shangquan Nobuyoshi a chance to retreat calmly, he saw the opportunity, gave orders, and shouted: "The shield soldiers are close on both sides!" Archers shoot all arrows! ”

The soldiers were ordered, and after the change of formation, the archers shot hundreds of pirates behind them in a large-scale round of fire. At this point, Shangquan Xinyi launched two rounds of attacks, Qingcheng was strictly defended, and then defended against the attack, as a result, the Great Qi army suffered nearly 400 casualties, of which less than 200 were killed; On the other hand, Shangquan Xinyi lost nearly 2,000 people.

The plains are easy to attack and difficult to defend, but Kamizumi Nobuyoshi lost to Qingcheng with a loss of nearly five times, which is not miserable. At the same time, his right-hand man Yamashita was also killed in the hands of the wind, and the army's morale was in turmoil, and it was difficult to continue. However, the Great Qi army cheered because of this victory that had been delayed for four months.

However, Qingcheng was not carried away by this small victory, he stopped the shouts of the soldiers, and said: "Everyone listen to me, rest in place, the wounded soldiers are withdrawn to the Zhenhai Hou Department for treatment, and the rest of the people are waiting for the battle." The next round of battles should be the key to the victory or defeat of this 'battle duel', everyone is not allowed to drop the chain for me, or that sentence, I, Duan Qingcheng, will never stand behind you, I will take you together to regain the pride that belongs to the Great Qi army! ”

What Qingcheng said was exciting, but this time, there was no shouting in the array. The soldiers thought about Qingcheng's words, yes, although they were just ordinary garrison troops in the past, not as good as the regular army with banners, but as the soldiers who defended the city as an important town, they were also extremely glorious with the Marquis of Zhenhai.

However, since four months ago, they have been defeated again and again, and their dignity has been trampled on and humiliated again and again, and they have long been exhausted. However, behind them, there are old fathers and mothers, children below, and a thrifty wife in the middle, who earnestly hopes that they will return alive. This is the soldier who defends the country.

However, today, under the leadership of Qingcheng, they unexpectedly won two rounds, and at the same time suffered a heavy defeat to the enemy army, and suffered very few casualties. The most important thing is that Qingcheng's confident attitude and control of the battle situation are in their eyes, and they know that this time, the victory must be theirs.

Thinking of this, many soldiers couldn't help but shed tears, but this was not a sign of cowardice, but the pride in their hearts, those dignity, and the result of constantly coming back. At the same time, what excites them the most is that the hundreds of thousands of family members behind them can finally be protected. Thinking of this, a spearman knelt down at Qingcheng, and then, one by two, three knelt down silently.

"Long live the General!" "The general's righteousness!" "Long live the General!"

Ordinary people will not know what the emperor has done for them, and the long live in his mouth is just like a routine job. But at this moment, they saw hope, and saw the figure who led them to stick to the country and defend the country, in their eyes, this is the person who should really shout long live.

But after all, it was a little disrespectful, Qingcheng and Hurricane hurriedly helped everyone. And this scene happened to be seen by Lei Ying and Zhenhaihou and others. Originally, Lei Ying was also worried that letting Zhenhaihou see this scene might be unfavorable to Qingcheng, and he was worried that he would end up talking in the future. However, he secretly looked at Zhenhaihou and was surprised to find that the latter was secretly wiping away tears.

"Master Hou, who are you?"

Hearing that Lei Ying saw his appearance, Zhenhaihou stopped his movements, and after a moment of silence, he secretly gritted his teeth, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he didn't know what he remembered. However, it only lasted for a moment, and Zhenhaihou slowly recovered, then let out a long sigh and said, "It's me, I'm sorry for the soldiers." ”

In Lei Ying's opinion, the Marquis of Zhenhai was blaming himself for his unscrupulous crimes, and he couldn't help but comfort: "Master Hou must not say this, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can there be undefeated people in the world?" Hou Ye was isolated and helpless, fighting against pirate infestation alone for nearly four months, although each had its own victory and defeat, but Hou Ye kept the territory and protected the people, which was actually the biggest victory. Aren't those of us who serve as soldiers just to protect our homes and defend our country? In fact, the young master of my family has mentioned the difficulties of Hou Ye more than once, and he also admires Hou Ye very much. ”

Listening to Lei Ying's words, Zhenhaihou shook his head and was silent for a long time before he said again: "Qingcheng, you have not lived up to Duan Shuai's expectations, and you have not lost the face of the Duan family in Qingyu City. What he will do in the future will definitely be far better than his father, Duan Shuai can rest assured. However, the difficulty of Benhou and the difficulty of Linhai City, Qingcheng can't imagine it. ”

What Zhenhaihou said seemed to mean something, Lei Ying wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Zhenhaihou took the lead in asking, and said, "How is it on your side, can there be progress?" ”

Hearing Zhenhaihou mention this, Lei Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, the last general has already preliminarily mastered the orders of Shangquan Xinyi, so I will report to the young master, I believe that the next round of attacks should be launched by us, and this battle should also be over." ”

Hearing what Lei Ying said, Zhenhai Hou raised his eyebrows, and sighed after a moment's silence: "Sure enough, there are no bear soldiers under the general's command, I can't imagine that the opponent who has plagued us for four months, you can break the enemy in just half a day, which really makes Ben Hou ashamed." ”

"Hou Ye praised it falsely. Hou Ye, the war is critical, Lei Ying will pass first, in addition, the young master and the last general just instructed, when I am successful, I will ask Hou Ye to fetch the horse and wait for the opportunity. ”

Zhenhaihou nodded to take the order, and Lei Ying ran to Qingcheng's side, while the former looked at his back, and then at Shangquan Xinyi, he couldn't help frowning, and after a moment of silence, he sighed lightly, turned around and led his troops to fetch the horse.

"Young master! Blast! Thunder Shadow is here! ”

Qingcheng, who was meditating, heard Lei Ying's shout, looked up, and saw him with a happy face, very excited, and couldn't help but think: It's finally good. Hmph, Kamizumi Nobuyoshi, the decisive battle is coming.
