Final Chapter. 214. Defeat
Although it is not clear about the name and surname of this old soldier, Zhou Changfeng has already regarded him as his savior, and he is the best choice for promotion at this time of employment! But those Tianyou cavalry, who were also surrounded by heavy surrounding, were also fighting alone in all corners of the battlefield, waiting for the rescue of their fellow brothers.
Zhou Changan knew that he was not surrounded by the enemy, and he had the ability to kill in and out; So the only thing he can do right now is not to stop the other party's footsteps! With mixed feelings and mixed feelings in his heart, Zhou Changan could only step forward and squeeze the other party's shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Your knife is unusually sharp, and it is obviously not an ordinary thing. If you still want to go out and save people, take it with you. After all, this is your own weapon, and it will definitely be more handy when you use it. ”
The old man paused when he heard this, and then angrily snatched the big knife that was not amazing:
"This is Lao Tzu's family heirloom blade, if it weren't for your arrogance, ability and ordinary, how could I lend it to you!"
Listening to his reply, Zhou Changan finally understood a problem. With his proud skills, but he fell into the Tianyou Army, I am afraid that the main reason is that his mouth is black and cold.
Zhou Changan just smiled and didn't say much, turned around and bent down, patted the brother with a pale face with an injured thigh, and picked up the Beiyan standard saber scattered around him, and returned to his position.
I don't know how long later, Zhou Chang'an, whose right arm was already soft and numb, suddenly noticed that from the rear surrounded by the enemy, there was a fierce fight and wailing again; Zhou Changan and the nearby brothers were shocked when they heard the sound, and they involuntarily stepped up and waved the blades in their hands, and soon cleared out a safe area!
Sure enough, the brave and fierce elite veteran came back unharmed again! Although this time, he only carried the family heirloom knife in his hand; But behind him, there was a team of bloody, murderous brothers of the Heavenly Blessing Army!
The two teams of Tianyou Army cavalry reunited, and their morale was naturally boosted! Whether it is a person who is in front of the front line, struggling to resist the enemy's attack; Or those wounded soldiers who were already seriously wounded, unable to fight again, and retreated to safety, all of them involuntarily let out an impassioned and generous roar; The exhausted body also surged up with an inexplicable force again, raising the offensive to a new level in an instant!
In fact, in terms of personal physical fitness, the strength of second-rate auxiliary soldiers is not necessarily inferior to the main elite; And often when the battle situation is in their favor, the battlefield performance of these auxiliaries will be more fierce and brave than the main elite!
But once they encounter siege battles with heavy casualties, or hand-to-hand combat with swords and swords, these people will reveal their embarrassing nature!
So from another point of view, auxiliaries are often more "smart" than the main elite; Because they all regard the word "cherish life" as their life creed, they will never take risks lightly! It's just a little strange that throughout the major battles of Huayu in ancient and modern times, the troops with the highest casualty ratio are often their "smart people"!
Now that the two Heavenly Blessing cavalry have successfully joined forces, the morale of the army has been greatly boosted, and there has even been a momentum of counteroffensive on the whole front; Under the elimination of each other, the Qin army auxiliaries who were reluctant to resist spontaneously because their legs could not outrun the war horse, and there were indeed signs of hesitation and retreat...
On the battlefield of the two armies, the auxiliary units with a large number of people have always been the main force in the war, that is, the consumables in the war; As for those elite troops who are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of death, only in the case of a final general attack by one side, or a crisis situation where the city gates and walls are about to be lost, will they be sent to the frontal battlefield as a decisive factor!
To paraphrase a common saying, that is, "good steel must always be used on the blade".
However, the so-called war of attrition is the tenacity of the offensive and defensive sides; In order to maintain the offensive and fighting spirit of the auxiliary troops at a certain baseline, two prerequisites must be met: first, there must be a military judge on the sidelines to supervise the battle; Second, there must be elite troops in the rear to hold down their positions.
But now in this wilderness battlefield, neither of these conditions is met; For example, today, the You army set off another wave of counteroffensive climax, and that kind of hot and sharp sharp spirit rushed to the face, and instantly defeated the "group courage" that the Qin army's auxiliaries barely mustered!
The thought of war is often more rapid than the plague raging; If one person retreats, ten people retreat; Ten people retreat, then ten thousand people retreat! At present, these tens of thousands of civilian auxiliary soldiers are mixed together, and there is no "coercion" from the military judge and the supervising team, winning is not considered a military merit, and if you lose, you will have to be in a different place, who is willing to kill you to the death with this outlaw who is a thousand years younger?
After the cavalry of the Heavenly Blessing Army successfully converged and provoked a massive counterattack; The encirclement, which was originally impenetrable, gradually became loose! Soon, the crowded battlefield began to appear in a small vacuum......
Zhou Changan, who was surrounded by enemy formations, also noticed this change. In the past, after killing an enemy himself, he would soon be met by a new force with a sword, and quickly launched a fierce attack as if he were himself. But Fang himself pulled the war knife out of the enemy's abdomen, and the curled head of the knife brought out a cloud of blue-gray intestines; Seeing this, several Qin army auxiliaries around looked stunned, and they involuntarily flashed to both sides......
In the face of such a cruel and bloody scene, fear is human nature, which is understandable; But now they dodged to both sides, revealing a small blank space in front of them! This change was the first strange sight since he jumped into the enemy line!
The enemy's encirclement gradually loosened, and the pressure on the soldiers who were struggling to maintain the line also weakened suddenly; Seeing that the battle situation had changed, Zhou Changan quickly withdrew from the forward front, climbed into an ox cart behind him, and observed the battlefield situation around. After a moment, he rolled his eyes and shouted at the top of his neck:
"The Qin army has retreated! The Qin army retreated! Brothers, press forward quickly, and leave no one alive! Kill me with me! ”
Regardless of what the soldiers of the Heavenly Blessing Army think; Even the Qin army auxiliaries who were timid were very aware of it in their hearts. In Zhou Changan's words, almost all of them were water! Because the Heavenly Blessing Army returned to the horse gun this time, it only had less than a thousand troops; But the Qin army's civilians and auxiliaries were as many as forty or fifty thousand! If you want to eat the Qin army's baggage camp in one bite, I'm afraid that this few hundred horsemen don't have such a big belly at all!
However, everyone understands this truth, but no one will raise their arms and shout at this time, question the loopholes in Zhou Chang'an's words, and try to gather the morale of the army and organize a counterattack again. Because in this situation, it is not about whose brain is clearer, but who is running away faster!
It's like two people walking together, being in the dense forest, and encountering hungry tigers blocking the way! If you want to survive, you don't need to go forward to fight the tiger at all, you just need to run faster than your peers.
However, the soldiers of the Tianyou Army believed Zhou Chang'an's words! Because they have just written a shocking battlefield miracle themselves! And the advocate of this miracle is Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince who has just "made a big fuss"!
Only 771 Tianyou cavalry actually defeated tens of thousands of Qin troops head-on! Today's war will be spread in the Huayu Continent for at least a hundred years! Every time someone talks about the classic example of defeating the strong with the weak and outnumbered, they can't get around their glorious record of 771 Avengers!
Zhou An hysterically issued a "slaughter order", which not only successfully aroused the determination of his own soldiers to hunt down and kill the enemy, but also greatly accelerated the momentum of the comprehensive rout of the Qin army! Except for the group of "unlucky ghosts" who have been put on the front line of the war, and they really can't get away; Almost every Qin soldier began to retreat into the depths of the dense forest on both sides of the station......
In the beginning, these people still retained the most basic sense of shame, and they knew that they were shouting and shouting and trying to incite others to meet the enemy; But now that Zhou Changan issued the massacre order, all the people subconsciously looked around, looking for the most suitable escape route for themselves......
When one person turns back, the other will act on it; One slowly retreats, and the other will turn around and run away! This kind of thing does not need to be taught by others, and every auxiliary soldier of the Qin army chose the same method under the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Since they are all cowardice and escape, why not do it more simply, at least you can still have a huge advantage of "preemptively"!
Such a drastic transformation was completed almost instantaneously! The Qin army, which was still attacking and fighting to the death, dropped their blades in the blink of an eye, turned around and fled from the battlefield without looking back; Even the cavalry of the Heavenly Blessing Army, who were driven forward, slashed to the ground with their swords, their hands still struggled to pick up the soil in front of them, trying to climb and win the "comrades and siblings" who fell behind them......
Seeing that the Qin army's auxiliaries released the ducks, the cavalry of the Tianyou Army, who knew that they had already won a great victory, once again made enough strength and struggled to cut down one soft bone after another!
As for Zhou Changan, who was almost unloaded from his left arm with a knife, the tense nerve in his brain suddenly relaxed, and his body suddenly fell backwards, lying on his back in the middle of the battlefield strewn with corpses strew......
"Hahaha...... Hahaha........."
A burst of heroic and unbridled laughter rose from Zhou Changan's lower abdomen and rushed straight out of the clouds! Although the laughter sounded dry and hoarse, it smelled of the golden iron horse!
Since this bloody battle, Zhou Changan has completely lost the body of a literati and has become the commander of the three armies in the real sense!
However, just when the Qin army auxiliaries, who were the first to flee, were about to flee to the edge of the dense forest; From the depths of the dense forest on both sides of the battlefield, a sharp and crisp whistle sounded at the same time!
"Woo~~~~ Bang!"
Zhou Changan's wild laughter stopped abruptly, and his face was full of stunned surprise! Because these two extremely special sharp sounds have only one way to come!
This is clearly the arrow used to demonstrate when the green forest ringing horse is cutting the path and robbing the road!
