Chapter 425: Battle with Zhou Yu (6)
"You are here to supervise the battle, and I will assist Liu Yi." Yuan Xi took a shot and flew to the left-wing battlefield.
Whoosh...
Reaching the top of Huang Gai's head, he continued to shoot arrows.
Clang! Clang!
The arrows flew out, and they all shot at Huang Gai. Two arrows were placed right above his head, but unfortunately his helmet was so hard that the arrows were blocked. The rest of the arrows also landed beside Huang Gai.
Huang Gai was startled, looked up, and exclaimed: "Shield! Shield! ”
Bell, bell, bell...
Yuan Xi fired a few more rounds of arrows, all of which landed on the shield.
Although it didn't work, Huang Gai hid under the shield and couldn't command the army to fight, but it bought Liu Yi time. Originally, the situation on the battlefield was not favorable to Huang Gai, and his cavalry was killed by Liu Yi, and the infantry army fell into a bitter battle again. Although Liu Yi also suffered heavy casualties, Huang Gai's troops were small and he could not win.
Now with Yuan Xi's help, Huang Gai's department is gradually collapsing.
"Brothers, kill..." Liu Yi pressed all the troops up, first defeating Huang Gai's infantry army, and then counterattacking in an all-out way. The thousands of enemy troops who entered the camp were all annihilated.
Heehi...
Yuan Xi took control of the eleven mammoths, changed the route of the march, and rushed to the gate of the village, where Zhou Yu was. From afar, there are big flags, all kinds of flags, and war drums.
Zhou Yu also noticed the appearance of mammoths.
He ordered the army to stand by and lead his guards to retreat to the walled tower, where they could hold out for a while.
"Metropolitan Governor, General Huang Gai is back..."
Huang Gai was hit by an arrow in his back, but he ran over as quickly as if nothing happened.
"General Gongfu, how are the injuries?" Zhou Yu stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Back to the Grand Governor, the end will be fine. It's just that he failed to break through the enemy village, and he hoped that the governor would forgive his sins. Huang Gai said.
"I've already seen it, your troops are attacked by eleven giant beasts, and their momentum is unstoppable, and with Liu Yi's spearmen, attacking in two ways, it will be difficult for your cavalry to win..."
"Yes."
Zhou Yu nodded, did not hold Huang Gai accountable for the defeat, raised his hand and said, "The enemy's giant beast is here again, General Huang, do you dare to fight?" ”
"This..."
"What? Old General Huang is afraid? ”
Huang Gai said in embarrassment: "Most of the governors don't know, these giant beasts are invulnerable, bows and arrows are difficult to hurt, and they can't be resisted by human beings." ”
"Is it that powerful?"
Zhou Yu had long heard about all kinds of giant beasts, including mammoths, and knew that mammoths' skin was twenty percent thick, and it was difficult to hurt them, but Zhou Yu was a little unconvinced.
With the animal's own defense, can it resist the sword?
"No matter how strong it is, we have to fight, we can't... Because it's strong, let's back down or even let it be slaughtered, right? General Huang, what do you say? ”
"That's what the Governor said." Huang Gai hugged his fists and said: "The last general will face the battle." ”
.........
Huang Gai mobilized more than 2,000 elite soldiers and horses from the surrounding area and rushed towards the mammoth together.
"Zhou Yu..." Yuan Xi flew over one step ahead of the four and said, "You are not my opponent, so let's admit defeat." I'll just make a joke on me, Hebei and Jiangdong can still shake hands and make peace. ”
"But a few elephants, what are you afraid of? You want me to throw in the towel, you're dreaming.... ”
Zhou Yu scolded very flapily.
Apparently unwilling to accept defeat.
No matter how powerful the beast was, it couldn't crush the arrogance in his heart.
"Since you don't want to admit defeat, let's face the giant beast!" Yuan Xi saw Cheng Pu's thousands of people, and his heart was a little contemptuous. Mammoths are invulnerable, and only fire oil can hurt him. No matter how subtle Cheng Pu's formation is and how brave the soldiers are, it will not play any role. As long as you rush over, you will win.
"Rush over!" Yuan Xi gave the mammoth an order.
Heehi...
Like the boss rushing the fastest, engaging Cheng Pu's shield soldiers. With the sole of his basin-sized foot, he stepped on it fiercely, stomping Cheng Pu's shield array to pieces. Then flick it with your nose and fly it directly.
The ten mammoths that followed, as if they were crazy, ran at full speed.
The shield array and spear array of 2,000 people were vulnerable in front of the mammoth. Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu both watched as a large group of soldiers were trampled to death, thrown away, or scattered in a panic.
Cheng Pu yelled in the back: "Steady, steady... Don't mess around! ”
"Fight back!"
After the shields were scattered, the guns stepped forward.
Countless spear spikes pierced under the mammoth's belly. I have to say that Cheng Pu is very smart, and that there is the weakest point of mammoths, and the fur is relatively thin. But no matter how thin it is, it is more than ten centimeters, and it is difficult for manpower to break through.
Puff puff...
There was a sound of being punctured, but it didn't hurt the mammoth in the slightest.
The thick flesh completely blocks the attack.
Rumble! Rumble!
Although they didn't feel any pain, they were stabbed under their stomachs and their fur was torn, and the mammoths were so angry that they immediately used their thighs to step on them.
"Ahh The soldier who was trampled on only heard a scream and turned into pulp.
"This..." Cheng Pu gasped.
He hurriedly returned to Zhou Yu's side, hugged his fists and said, "Dadu Dudu, Yuan Xi's giant beast is really invulnerable, and it is difficult to be injured. They are also immensely powerful, and their every move is lethal. ”
Zhou Yu was also anxious, but he had already figured out a way: "The best way to deal with this giant beast is to attack with fire." But in a hurry, it was difficult for us to find a large amount of fire oil.... ”
"For the victory of this war, General Cheng, I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you must entangle these eleven giant beasts and delay them for two hours. Don't be afraid of casualties, I will end the battle in these two hours. ”
"Yes."
Cheng Pu responded.
"Grand Duke, can you end the battle in two hours?" Cheng Pu wanted to leave, but turned around and asked.
"Yes!"
In fact, Zhou Yu was not sure, but he couldn't be discouraged.
Cheng Pu ordered his troops and horses to surround the mammoths. Looking forward from the walled building, the periphery of the mammoth is dense, layer after layer, surrounded like an iron bucket.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to delay any longer, mobilized all the troops, and killed them in the camp.
After Liu Yi repelled Huang Gai, he joined the large army.
Spearmen, more than 600 vanguard battalions, as well as 2,000 Youzhou elite cavalry, nearly 5,000 shield soldiers, archers, composed of about 10,000 people, under the leadership of Liu Yi and others, faced Zhou Yu's main force.
"Kill..."
The two armies are engaged.
Yuan Xi told all the mammoths to cut the distance to kill the enemy, block the south as much as possible, and form an encirclement of Zhou Yu's rear. Of course, it can't be surrounded yet, because the number of mammoths is too small. Once the main forces of the two armies engaged, Cheng Pu suffered heavy casualties, and the position of the mammoth was Zhou Yu's rear. At that point, an absolute encirclement will be formed.
This is a detail that Yuan Xiju noticed when he looked down from above.
After telling the mammoth, return to the side of the open jaw.
"My lord, our chariot army has left the battlefield and circled to the north. The last general thinks... Zhou Yu's main force should not be underestimated, whether it goes around to the west and forms a two-sided attack with Liu Yi. ”
"Do you want to go around the past?"
Yuan Xi let Si Buxiang rise into the air, probed it, and came back: "Just do as you say, let the chariot go to the west and attack Zhou Yu's flank." ”
"Yes."
Zhang Jaw hurriedly passed the order.
