Chapter 207: The Road to Life

The Xiliang Army is essentially a bandit group, a collection of warlords, and if they can grab something outside, this group can still maintain a loose alliance. Once the outward expansion is frustrated, it will immediately evolve from outward expansion to internal fighting. For Chen Cheng, instead of waiting for the chaotic battle in Liangzhou, it is better for everyone to discuss how to divide Han Sui's territory first.

Although it seems a little sorry for Han Sui, but so what? The more and more things that go against my will, the more and more I do them, and now I'm starting to get a little numb. Chen Cheng said secretly: If you cut your heart now, you probably have begun to darken in some places.

While thinking about it, Wei Ran stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord, the formation has been adjusted!" ”

Chen Cheng was silent for a while and asked, "Have you made it clear to them?" ”

"It's clear!" Wei Ran said murderously: "There are thousands of people in each team, and they are only allowed to move forward and not retreat." If the front team retreats, retreat and cut it. If the rear team retreats, the black armor army will kill it! ”

Chen Cheng turned his head and asked Zhang Heng on the side, "Do you understand?" ”

Zhang Heng smiled cruelly: "Isn't it just murder?" What's not going to be about that? ”

"Hey, I hope you don't forget about it later." Chen Cheng turned his head, raised his right hand, and then slashed down hard, "Attack!" ”

The desolate horn sounded on the edge of Weishui, and hundreds of black-armored soldiers with short spears and ring-headed knives shouted loudly in front of the battle: "Chen Envoy Jun has an order, today's battle, there is no advance or retreat!" Those who advance may not be able to live, but those who go backward will surely die! ”

"Attack!"

Han Suijun and Li Xiangru, who were forced to go into battle, dragged forward, and their morale was not very strong. Although they can be regarded as elites, otherwise they would not be taken by Han Sui and Li Xiangru. But now there are tens of thousands of people watching on the side, and even if they are unwilling, they can only advance towards the position of the Han army with weapons.

Chen Cheng looked at the first wave of soldiers who were slowly moving forward, turned back to Zhang Heng and said, "Cut down all the people who are behind!" ”

Zhang Heng was stunned and said hesitantly: "The people who are behind are all cut down?" ”

Chen Cheng said lightly: "If the Black Armor Army can't do it, then I'll find someone else to do it." ”

Zhang Heng snorted and said, "Why can't you do it?" ”

He rode to the front and shouted to his subordinates, "The lord has an order, and those who fall behind will be killed by me!" ”

Hundreds of black-armored soldiers immediately pounced, shouting loudly and hacking to death the dozens of people in the back with short spears and ring-headed knives.

"Run for me!"

"Death to those who lag behind!"

"Ahh Dozens of people were killed on the spot, and the soldiers in front of them suddenly moved faster as if they had been whipped with whips. They cursed the Black Armor Army, Chen Cheng and the others as they ran forward with their shields raised. As soon as they crossed the first trench, on the position of the Han army, several bowstrings vibrate, and arrows broke through the air, hitting two Xiliang soldiers who were advancing.

The Han army came rushing and had almost no logistical supplies, so the way of fighting was different from that of the Liuchuan River, and they rarely used projectiles to kill and wound the enemy, but used more accurate shooting methods. With the exception of a few sharpshooters, the others waited until the enemy army was within sixty paces before firing arrows and crossbows.

The companion was shot dead by the Han army, and the Xiliang army, which was forced to step forward, was not only not angered by this, but also looked at the morale of the lower. After climbing over the first fence abandoned by the Han army, the Han army's bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and the Xiliang army in the front row was full of arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

Zhang Heng hit the horse and returned to the rear of his forehead, and said to Chen Cheng: "Lord, these guys don't look good!" ”

"Yes."

"Would you like to send some crossbowmen to help?"

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Yes." Come, let the crossbowmen on standby in the rear come forward. ”

The armor of the Xiliang army is very bad, and the bow and crossbow are much better. The crossbowmen, drawn from the princes' army, quickly stepped forward and began to throw at a position of about eighty paces. They rushed out from both wings, shooting arrows as they went. Eighty steps were lacking in accuracy and lethality, but as they got closer, their accuracy and power skyrocketed.

Behind the fence, several Han soldiers with spears were hit by arrows in their faces and fell down screaming. The crossbowmen in the rear immediately divided a part of the archers and began to shoot at the crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army. The infantry of the Xiliang Army took the opportunity to step forward, put down the shield in their left hand, and stabbed at the enemy with short spears and spears.

The spearmen of the Han army also raised their spears and stabbed at each other, and the two sides stabbed each other through a thin fence, and from time to time someone was stabbed by the sharp head of the spear, and then let out a terrifying cry of pain. Screams rang out on the front front, and a not-so-fierce battle began on Yellowback Mountain.

Because of the terrain, the attack on the mountain was just a containment. The infantry stopped when they were far away, and then sent their archers to fire at the crossbowmen on the mountain.

On the battlefield down the mountain, the battle gradually became fierce. After the Xiliang army began to bleed on a large scale, they finally aroused the bravery in their bones, and they rushed forward with a howl, and at the same time their bodies were pierced by spears, they frantically launched an attack on the enemy.

The sergeants in the back row took off their javelins and threw them at the enemy.

With a whistling sound, more than a dozen Han infantry were crucified to the ground. Even wearing iron armor, it is difficult to resist the piercing attack of heavy javelins at such a close distance. In the fierce battle, the soldiers in front fell in rows, and the soldiers behind immediately filled up.

One side is alone, the other side is cut off, and both sides have reasons to fight to the death. Han Suijun and Li Xiangru's troops fought a bloody battle with the Han army's interception troops for more than a quarter of an hour with indignation, and the corpses on the ground piled up. Someone rushed forward with a shout, threw away his shield and spear, and rolled over behind the fence with the corpses of his comrades.

However, before he could cross the top of the sharpened fence, he was stabbed to death by the defenders with spears. Gradually, the bloody and brave spirit of the Xiliang army subsided, the soldiers' attacks were no longer ferocious, and their movements began to become sluggish. The Han army took advantage of this opportunity to replace the pikemen in the front row and put the fresh troops in the rear up.

Seeing that the soldiers in front of him were already showing fatigue, Chen Cheng gave another order and transferred two more thousand people forward.

Cheng Yi frowned and said, "The first wave of soldiers hasn't been withdrawn yet, isn't it a little inappropriate to put in the second wave now?" ”

Chen Cheng glanced at him, turned around, and said to Zhang Heng: "Order the Black Armor Army to take twenty steps forward and set up a banner, and all the soldiers who dare to withdraw the banner will be killed in front of the battle!" ”

Cheng Yi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just sighed. Chen Cheng pointed to a general in front of him and asked, "That person looks familiar, have you seen it anywhere?" ”

"That's my general Huang Yong," Chen Cheng lifted his spirits and said, "If you talk about martial arts, no one in Wuwei County can beat it!" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Oh, could it be that his martial arts are even better than General Cheng?" ”

Cheng Yi had a smile on his face and said, "Martial arts soldiers, who dares to be better than my martial arts?" ”

Chen Cheng thought of something and said with a smile: "Haha, General Cheng is still very funny when he speaks." ”

While talking and laughing, the second wave of commandos has begun to charge. They rushed forward with arrows and corpses strewn across the ground, their footsteps shaking the earth, and the sound of their shouts rang out to silence the clouds. Han Sui and Li Xiangru, who were confronting the Han army on the edge of the fence, heard the sound behind them, avoided both sides, and gave way to the road.

The second wave of Xiliang troops rushed forward with a large shield, and the heavy shield hit the fence with a dull sound. Dozens of people crashed into it, and the fence made of thick logs, though very strong, was also shaken by the crash. The Han army, which had rested for a while, suddenly became nervous again, and they stepped forward again with their spears, and assassinated each other with the Xiliang army across the fence.

Several Xiliang soldiers stepped forward with big axes, ignoring the spears stabbed by the Han army, and slashed the top of the fence. The logs that served as the main body were very strong, and the axe only left a gap when chopping them, but the crossbar connecting them was nailed up with iron nails, and it only took a few chops to break one.

When the new force and the Han army were engaged in a fierce battle, Han Suijun and Li Xiangru's troops took advantage of this opportunity to retreat to the rear. They had already sold their strength just now, and now that someone has replaced them, it is time for everyone to go down and slow down.

However, they had barely retreated a distance before they were blocked by hundreds of black-armored soldiers.

"Hey, we've already played a round, what do you mean?" A team leader shouted at the throat: "Zhang Heng, don't think that the masters are afraid of you!" ”

Zhang Heng looked at Chen Cheng on the side, stepped forward, and scolded: "The lord has an order, just move forward, don't retreat, don't you hear clearly?" ”

"Bullshit!" The team leader just rolled around the ghost gate, and it was when he was full of anger, and at this time, anger was surging, and he couldn't care about anything, "Our lord is General Han!" Isn't it enough that so many people have already died? Do we have to die before we are willing? ”

Zhang Heng said angrily: "How can there be immortals in war? Now that the military order has been issued, I don't care if you are dead? Get your grandfather back, or you will be recognized, but the knife in your hand will not recognize you! ”

The team leader also lifted the ring head knife and said angrily: "Only you have a knife? Don't we have it in our hands? ”

"Okay!" Zhang Heng sneered, "Are you going to rebel?" ”

"Hmph, if you stand in the way again, everyone will be the opposite!" The team leader turned around and shouted, "Did you say that? ”

Hundreds of retreating soldiers raised their swords and shouted together: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" ”

The spear and ring-headed knife were raised, and Zhang Heng controlled the war horse to take a few steps back, and was about to give the order, when the horse's hooves sounded, and the wind suddenly rose and stopped. Chen Cheng rode on horseback and looked condescendingly at the four or five hundred soldiers gathered together. Behind him, more than 2,000 black-armored soldiers had formed a battle formation.

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, the team leader swallowed his saliva, and said unwillingly: "Chen Yuanjun, we don't really want to rebel, but you also have to give us a way to live, right?" ”
