Chapter 629: Invitation to Battle Before the Battle

Heads-up is a very gentlemanly thing, but when a fierce general shows off his might in the open space of the battlefield where the two armies are facing each other, galloping back and forth to invite battle, while the enemy army on the opposite side is sleepy and tidying up his nails, what will be the scene?

This kind of thing happened in front of Pucheng City.

The officers and soldiers originally wanted to strike at the arrogance of the thieves and boost the confidence of their soldiers defending the city.

For this battle, Zhang Shifu reached an agreement with the county lord and Zhang Cunmeng, that is, the army went out to fight, lined up according to the city, attracted the thieves to attack, consumed the strength of the thieves, and absolutely did not attack. Then, line up a thousand longbows on the city, take advantage of the terrain, and deal a devastating blow to the thieves, after all, the longbow shoots, and the one with the highest terrain wins, which is a common sense thing.

Thieves don't attack? No way, everyone expressed absolute abandonment of this result.

Besiegers, climbing the city attack damage ten times, and luring the enemy to attack is the best way, now, don't want you to lure the enemy to attack, we take the initiative ourselves, the enemy will not give up this God-given opportunity no matter what, so, in the battle relying on the city wall, there is no worries, and there is more firearms and bows and arrows in the city to support, it is easy to defeat the thieves.

The drums of war were beaten, the arrays were lined up, thousands of archers and dozens of elms sprayed in the city, and the tiger cannons were all ready to fire, and all that remained was to wait for the thieves and moths to put out the fire.

Judging as expected, the thieves really cheered, drove out of the camp, and a team of people went out to fight, although there were only 2,000 people who came out, which seemed to be an insult to the officers and soldiers who came out of the battle of 3,000. However, in any case, if the thieves go to war, as long as they destroy even a thousand enemies, it will be a great encouragement to the entire defending army.

As long as you attack, then, we win. You have to attack, because, you were originally attacking Pucheng, and your identity is the attacker, especially, I gave you such a big opportunity, how can you give up?

The two sides lined up, the flags and the war drums sounded, for a time, the heaven and the earth changed color, the official army side, the city and the city shouted killing drums and whistles earth-shattering, seeing the whole team of thieves erected a gun, a hard and tragic, but it will definitely be the victory of the officers and the army The big battle is about to begin.

However, everything was so unexpected.

While the two sides were lining up and the war drums and shouts were roaring, suddenly, on the side of the thieves, after the ranks were reorganized, the drums beat and then fell silent. There was no movement in the silence of Xiao Killing.

On the battlefield, only the officials and soldiers remained, and the drums and whistles above and below the city shouted, and the thieves watched with such interest, as if they were watching a grand farce.

"Why didn't the thieves take such a good opportunity to attack?" Zhang Fifteen asked Zhang Cunmeng, who was following half a horse's head behind him, the mind of the thief, and now he can guess if he has worked with the thief for a long time.

Without getting mud, he looked at the array of thieves in the distance, with a solemn and blank face.

The array is very small, and the battle column of only 2,000 people looks absolutely small in this battlefield of thousands of troops and horses.

But these 2,000 thieves are standing there, but they are in thousands of troops, and they will definitely not be ignored and cannot be ignored.

Motionless as a mountain, standing tall, a feeling of looking up, feeling the boundless coercion.

He took a deep breath and quietly twisted his ass, not because he felt tired after sitting for a long time, but because of the pressure from the pavement, he needed to be relieved, especially the fear that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"The thieves have always fought from behind, and rarely take the initiative to attack each time, and once the opponent launches an attack, the two armies fight together, then, they begin to roll forward, never looking back and retreating."

Not muddy is right, recalling that Lu Shi led the thieves in all battles, they all stood there first, waiting for the opponent to attack, and never took the initiative to attack, of course, the Battle of Yanchuan was an exception.

"Then, let's let the thieves take the initiative to attack this time." Zhang 15 smiled slightly: "This time in terms of strategy, the thief took the initiative to attack, so the opportunity we gave him this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in the face of us going out of the city to face the battle, wouldn't it be in line with his wishes?" Okay, then we'll go down with him and see who strikes first. ”

With the current situation, Zhang 15 is right, the thief will definitely not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Attacking, weakening the defending forces in order to facilitate future sieges, this matter cannot be abandoned in any way, although this is only the bait released by oneself, and under this huge fat bait, it is a sharp hook.

As long as the thieves attack, the thousand longbows lying in ambush under the female wall of the city wall will exert their strength together, with the help of the terrain, ten thousand arrows will be fired together, and there will be fifty tiger cannons urgently dispatched, at that time, the dead and wounded will be the fish that bite the hook.

The shouts and war drums have been beating, and the shouts above and below the city are even louder, but the thieves on the opposite side are standing silently, like a mountain without moving, like a wood carving clay sculpture, just this standing kung fu is not comparable to the official army.

When the autumn sun rises in the eastern mountains, I look at this funny scene with such curiosity, shouting loudly and silently.

Slowly and lazily climbed up to the middle of the sky, and the situation remained unchanged.

No, there are also changes, that is, the originally silent standing in line is still as motionless as a mountain, silent and silent.

And nearly 10,000 hustle and bustle of the party, but there is not much passion power, shouting has no strength, the blood momentum has also been sluggish, now above Pucheng, the morale and passion that was just out of the city to invite the battle has dissipated without a trace, some of the defenders who were asked to shout and cheer have been dry and hoarse, just open their mouths, mechanical meaningless sounds, and some people, have begun to watch the excitement with knives and guns, and some are even more unbearable, simply shrunk under the female wall, hiding from the sun of the autumn tiger, Faint, in the sound of weak war drums, drowsy.

"No, if this continues, our purpose will not be achieved at all." Zhang Wufu began to become agitated, "In particular, we have agreed with General He Renlong to launch an internal and external attack at noon, and now, the day is close to noon, if you don't fight on this side, then, the delay fighter is small, and the future evaluation will be caught by He Renlong." Zhang fifteen whispered and discussed with non-mud.

"What's more, our morale has dissipated during this time." Look at the mud who is still looking at the other side, but I didn't get an answer from this thief expert.

Zhang 15 turned around, straightened up on the horse, and carefully looked at the match, after seeing it, he was absolutely depressed.

The thief on the opposite side stood all morning, and he was as energetic as if he had just opened the camp, not at all tired and anxious, as if he were a group of statues who did not know how to be tired.

Turning around and looking back at his brothers in formation, the flag swayed, the body swayed, and there was even more Hache Liantian, only after Shangguan's punches and kicks, he shouted so many voices, and now, it is himself whose morale is consumed, if he continues to stand like this, he will definitely not be able to compare with his opponent.

"Where is Chen Bao?" Zhang Wufu suddenly shouted.

Chen Bao, is the most courageous man of the Chen family, in the battle of Ganquan, because of the courage to fight, can fight, known as the Zhangjia army in the thousands of miles of horses, known as Chen invincible, because of the merit of the total and all the way up to a hundred households. "The end will be." A confident response sounded in Zhang Shifu's ears, and Zhang Shifu's left ear sounded in the sound.

"Ben will order you to go out into battle and invite the enemy to fight."

"The Last General's Order." The martial wind is already popular in the northwest, and drawing a sword in anger is what those bloody men are most willing to do, today, in the case of the attention of these thousands of people, he can leap in front of the horse formation, and follow the example of the ancient generals with real talent and learning to fight against the enemy generals, and it is very glorious.

So, the enthusiastic Chen Bao rushed out of the team with a mace in his hand, and rushed out of the team with a war horse, learning enough to learn the ancient fierce Zhang Fei described by the storyteller Mr. Li, and shouted to the enemy in front of the big array: "Bah-listen to the thieves on the other side, who dares to fight with grandpa for 300 rounds?" A shout, like thunder, immediately caused a burst of applause from the originally sluggish and sleepy defenders in the city, and there was a lively look, and of course the morale rose again.

Lu Shi was waiting in the big tent for the report on the battle situation on the two battlefields, and suddenly, Zhang Xiaofei rushed in and shouted happily at Lu Shi: "Uncle, hurry up, look at the excitement." ”

Zhang Xiao rushed in so recklessly, startling Lu Shi at the time, thinking that something had happened in the battle ahead, but then he saw his excited jumping up and down, and put his heart down at that time, and said angrily: "It's all fifteen or sixteen young men, or a deputy regiment leader, why are they still like a child and have lost their integrity?" The idea is to have a steady image. ”

Zhang Xiao didn't pay attention to Lu Shi's teaching at all, but rushed up directly, grabbed Lu Shi's hand and dragged it out, dragging it while shouting like chicken blood: "Go and see the excitement, if you don't watch it, it will be gone." ”

Lu Shi smiled helplessly, it is the nature of children to watch the excitement, but this is in the army, how can it be so? It's also that I doted on them too much, so I could only stagger and be dragged out.

was dragged by Zhang Xiao to the observatory of the enemy tower, and in the deafening shouts and cheers of the enemy, Lu Shi saw Chen Bao, who was showing off his might and calling for a heads-up in front of the battle.

This kind of scene that only exists in the storytelling makes Lu Shi a little at a loss, looking left and right, there is only himself on the watchtower, and there is San Lang jumping and clapping his hands, and no one else explains to himself.

"Do you want to make a TV series about the Three Kingdoms? Singled out? Then looking at Chen Bao, Lu Shi said to himself with a smile: "Single-handedly, it's a very gentleman's thing, but on top of the big array of these two armies, this is too." ”

However, Lu Shi is not interested in this heads-up, but it doesn't mean that other people are also not interested, but don't have a brother with a hot head, he really goes out to fight, then it becomes a joke.

Holding on to the railing and poking his head out, fortunately, his gun array was still immovable, and Geng Kui, who led the team, also sat on the horse and watched Chen Baoyao's martial arts for a long time, but he didn't mean to move at all. What especially reassures Lu Shi is that he is a good ranger, and the commander of the Heavenly Star who drew his sword and fought alone is not on this battlefield, so there is nothing to worry about.

turned his face to look at Da Lang who was ambushed in the camp, but he had already gathered behind the camp gate, constantly carrying the war horse, and there was a kind of eagerness to try, fortunately, when he had been with the steady Cao Meng for a long time, he did not have a military order, and he did not dare to fight without authorization, this is progress.

However, watching the big black boy show off his might in front of the formation, this also somewhat boosted the morale of the other party, as long as it was something to boost the morale of the other party, it was absolutely undesirable to break into the army here.

Looking at Geng Kui, who was not alarmed, Lu Shi said to Zhang Xiao, who was cheering beside him: "Go, tell Da Lang, send a team of brothers to kill that big man." ”
