Chapter 035: Give Credit
These Vikings were also unlucky.
An army of 20,000 marched from the sea, ambitious to slaughter the city and avenge the slain of his associates.
As a result.
5,000 vanguard troops were dispatched, and the defending army commanded by Wei Xiaokuan was eaten to the fullest.
Now that he has learned to be smart, the fifteen-thousand-strong army marched at the same time, and he encountered Huo Quai, a pervert who does not treat the enemy as a human being.
When we arrived at the city, before the battle began, we lost more than 3,000 people!
It also includes important grassroots leaders, not counting the injured, and the impact on morale.
In short, when they set up camp at the pass, the pirates were demoralized, and if they didn't give time to repair and attack the city, they might mutini immediately!
After listening to the scout, Liu Qi was already numb.
"Fuck it, you're a fucking genius!" Liu Qi couldn't control it anymore, laughed and slapped Huo Quzhi on the back, "If you win this battle, I will remember your first merit!" ”
Huo Quzhi lazily clenched his fists: "Then thank you lord?" ”
went to see Wei Xiaokuan again: "Acting without authorization, please don't be surprised by General Wei." ”
He and Wei Xiaokuan were not subordinate to each other, and before leaving, they only briefly talked about attacking and harassing the enemy camp, and did not elaborate on the battle plan.
Being able to achieve such a result is also a surprise for Wei Xiaokuan.
"What do you say, General Huo lightens my burden, it's too late to thank you." Wei Xiaokuan was condescending, and nodded at the pirate camp in the distance with his chin, "Our army has the right time, place, and people, my lord, this battle will be won!" ”
"Lord, I might as well go sick in the field, why don't I simply hand it over to the commander of the sick and I will lead the rear army to support in the city."
This is to give up the great work, which is very interesting.
At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid having two commanders on the same battlefield.
Liu Qi looked at Huo Quai.
Huo Quzhi touched his nose and said apologetically: "The lord should spare me, and I will be depressed when I command the army." The subordinates are willing to lead the Yulin Army to be a surprise soldier and wait for General Wei's dispatch! ”
What else did Wei Xiaokuan say, Liu Qi was impatient, waved his big hand, and interrupted him with a smile: "Enough, really those pirates are not people, they are also the elite of the sea!" ”
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Huo Quzhi or Wei Xiaokuan, they all showed disdainful expressions.
Liu Qi also knew that he couldn't expect them to have any thoughts about the defeat of the opponent, so he simply ordered: "In this battle, filial piety is the main thing, and you are the main one, and the illness is the supplement." ”
……
Next.
The barbarian leader looked at the pass not far away, his brow furrowed.
The people of the Central Plains are really cunning, and they actually chose such a place for the battlefield!
There are cliffs on both sides here, and there is only one sheep intestine path leading to the only pass, and the real one should not be opened.
If he wants to fight a decisive battle here, his superior forces are useless at all, not to mention, because of the terrain, he can only attack from the back, and he is at a disadvantage within a disadvantage!
"Chief, what should I do?" One of the leaders was worried, "Our warriors are not good at siege, and they are ......"
And because of the previous attack, the small leaders of the pirates at the grassroots level were all killed, and now the soldiers lack command and cannot form a formation at all.
In this case, storming the enemy's well-defended city is tantamount to seeking death.
"You can't storm the city." The leader immediately decided, "There are not many people in the Central Plains, let the boatswain's dead squad go up first, and lure those Central Plains people out of the city to fight with us!" ”
You have an absolute superiority in strength, even if you can't spread it all at once, as long as you can get the enemy out of the strong walls, the leader will have the confidence of victory!
The leader stopped talking.
According to the leader's decision, the warriors who lost their leaders were to be used as cannon fodder.
Even pirates will inevitably feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Even he thinks so, let alone the cannon fodder itself that is destined to be sacrificed?
The first batch of 3,000 barbarian warriors hesitated to attack.
This point of attacking the city is definitely not enough, their task is to use their lives to make the opponent careless, choose to go out of the city and fight head-on with the friendly forces of several sides!
"Heh, it's a barbarian."
For this practice of not taking the lives of his comrades as his life, Wei Xiaokuan scoffed, and waved the command flag in his hand: "Go out of the city and line up to meet the enemy!" ”
The gates of the city slowly opened under the astonished gaze of the barbarian warriors, and 800 sword and shield men in front and 1,500 pikemen in the back, lined up in front of the city gate with neat steps.
The narrow terrain limits the use of barbarian warriors, but it is a natural fit for a combination of sword and shield men and pikemen.
The 400 yuan crossbowman was condescending, aiming at the wall.
The more the three thousand barbarian warriors looked at it, the more frightened they became, especially the crossbow arrows glowing with cold light on the wall, as if they would poke into their chests in the next second.
However, the leader did not call back, and they could only continue to rush.
"Rush, rush!"
A cautious little leader in the ranks was red-eyed and hissed: "The warriors of the sea are invincible!" rushed over and killed them all, and the women and treasures in the territory were ...... Yes! ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a cold light flash over the city, and an iron arrow pierced into his eyebrows.
The little boss went black and fell to the ground.
"Noise." Huo Quzhi retracted his bow and made a faint comment.
Liu Qi smacked his tongue.
I can't see it, I'm still a sharpshooter!
At this time, the three thousand barbarian forwards had already entered the range of the Yuan Shu crossbow, and the crossbowmen pulled the trigger one after another.
"Whoosh!"
Under the rain of arrows, the barbarian warriors who were running at the forefront fell in an instant.
However, the barbarians were extremely fast, and it was difficult for the Yuan Shu crossbow to be wound, and after the second round of arrows was released, the barbarians collided with the sword and shield bearers with a "bang".
"Knock ——!"
Flesh and blood flying.
The sword and shield hand at the front resisted the shield with all his might, preventing the enemy from taking a single step.
The long robbers looked at the gaps and continued to hand out long robberies as they had been trained on a daily basis, harvesting the lives of the enemy.
If a sword and shield hand falls, the comrades behind will immediately throw away the long robbery and pick up the shield to replenish it. Then the soldiers in the rear then filled in their positions.
The battle formation of more than 2,000 foot soldiers is like a boulder standing in a tsunami, no matter how the ferocious barbarian warriors collide, they will not move at all!
"Chief, we can't go on like this!" The deputy leader was in a hurry, "The warriors of the vanguard are about to die, hurry up and support!" ”
The leader nodded slowly: "Five thousand warriors, press on!" ”
"Roaring ——!"
The second echelon, which had been prepared, rushed up, but due to terrain constraints, it could not be deployed, so it could only form a long winding line and sprint from the bottom up.
Wei Xiaokuan raised his eyebrows: "General Huo, I have to work for you, and reduce the burden for the sons and daughters in the city." ”
"Well said!"
The three hundred feather forest army had already been trimmed, and it was the time for itchy hands.
Huo Quzhi jumped on his war horse and roared out of the side gate with the Yulin cavalry, cutting off the five thousand barbarian warriors who rushed up.
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield was split into two!
