154 Step by step
Drink! ”
Fifty miles away from Changyang Gorge, Lu Su's second battalion and Bai Yue's more than 1,000 rebel cavalry had been constantly tugging at each other for a whole day.
Bai Yue couldn't help frowning when he heard the overwhelming sound of Lu Su's department.
"Damn, how can they be so calm? If you lure it a few times in a row, you won't be fooled, and if it drags on like this, my brother will ...... there."
Thinking of this, Bai Yue's hand holding the saber couldn't help shaking, and for the first time, his face showed a trace of embarrassment.
For a whole day, that army followed behind him so unhurriedly, but it blocked the path of the righteous army, and let his idea of relying on the superiority of cavalry to bypass this army in a roundabout way come to naught, and they were pressed all the way to this point.
Now the more than 1,000 cavalry under Bai Yue's command are all tired, not only the cavalry on horseback, but even the corners of the lips of the war horse under the crotch are covered with white foam......
"They're too tired...... Lu Su looked at the exhausted rebel soldiers in front of him with a speculum in his hand, a cold smile appeared on his face, "Just let them rest and blow the trumpet!" Keep getting closer, crossbowmen lined up! ”
"Woo~~"
A sharp trumpet sounded in the camp, and the solemn battle formation heard the order, and slowly approached again, and five hundred crossbowmen followed closely behind the shields.
"They're pressing, General Bai, what's going on now?"
Seeing the "copper wall" approaching, a volunteer soldier beside Bai Yue said nervously to Bai Yue.
Bai Yue's eyes were cold: "Spread out the formation, be careful of the crossbow arrows, and the whole army will immediately retreat to the open field in the rear with me, and then make plans when it is completely dark." ”
"Phew~"
With a horse whistle and a neigh, more than a thousand cavalry of the righteous army immediately followed Bai Yue and retreated towards the Changyang Plain in the afterglow of the sunset.
"This Bai Yue is cautious, he knows how to advance and retreat, and ......stops" Seeing the righteous army retreating, Lu Su sighed and ordered the battle array to stop the pursuit and rest in place.
……
Within the path, Lu Yuanling, who had escaped from Lu Yu's department and the encirclement of the rebel army, was sitting on a boulder panting at the moment.
And there were only twenty guards left around him, and most of the rest were lost in the chaos during the day.
After a long time, he felt his mouth dry for a while, and said to the guards, "Water, is there still water?" ”
A guard immediately handed the water bag to Lu Yuanling, who took it and pulled out the pot and poured it into his throat.
"Poof......
I didn't want to just take a big sip, and Lu Yuanling spit it out violently.
"What is it? Is it a human drinker? He slammed the kettle to the ground and yelled at the guard, "Where's my honey?" ”
The guard looked at the kettle bag dripping on the ground, his throat couldn't stop rolling a few times, and he mustered up the courage to open his chapped lips and said to Lu Yuanling: "Lord Guard, how can there be any honey water right now, and what you just fell is also what we saved for you, how can you be so bad?" ”
"Dare you teach me a lesson?" Lu Yuanling was already crazy at this time, "What kind of thing are you?" Yes? If it weren't for your incompetence, how would I be where I am today?
Now I can't even look at a water bag, what's the use of raising you bunch of waste! Get me water now, I'm going to drink honey, hurry! ”
The corner of the soldier's face twitched, and he replied, "My lord, where do you let us go up to find honey in the barren mountains and mountains here?" ”
"I don't care!" Lu Yuanling roared with a hideous face, "Find it for me immediately, or believe it or not, I'll kill you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the guards who were sitting cross-legged on the ground and resting all sank, and their eyes were full of coldness when they looked at Lu Yuanling.
Hearing this, the guards standing in front of Lu Yuanling slowly lowered their hands, straightened up, and snorted coldly at Lu Yuanling: "Lord Garrison, when is it now, my subordinates advise you, pay attention to your words, we can follow you all the way to the end of the day, it's very tiring and tiring, can't you be considerate and considerate of me?" ”
"You pariahs still have to be considerate?" Lu Yuanling didn't pay attention to the movements of the soldiers around him, but continued to point to the guard's nose and said, "In my Lu Yuanling's eyes, you are just a dog, what qualifications does a dog have to make me considerate?" Ah, who else made you talk to me like that! ”
"Hehe......" The guard let out a disdainful laugh when he heard this, and then said to the rest of the soldiers behind him, "You all heard it, in Lu Yuanling's eyes, we are just a dog, in that case, what are you waiting for?" ”
As soon as the guard's words fell, the more than ten guards who were originally resting on the ground all stood up and looked at Lu Yuanling with a cruel smile.
Lu Yuanling was shocked when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "What do you want to do......
The guard said with an extremely cold look in his eyes: "Naturally, I am making a living for myself, Lu Yuanling, we have been with you for many years, working hard and complaining, but in the end you treat us as dogs?"
In this case, don't blame us for being polite, come and tie him up to see the military governor, hoping that his old man can read for the sake of us who have lost our way and let us live! ”
"Up!"
The surrounding guards howled, and regardless of Lu Yuanling's shouts, Qi Qi pressed him to the ground......
……
"Kill......"
Under the cover of night, Bai Yue saw that Lu Su was not in a wide formation, and in a hurry, he personally led thousands of righteous troops to rush towards Lu Su's array under the cover of night, vowing to break through the extremely difficult infantry battle formation tonight.
Lu Su, who was in the formation, heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the dark night opposite, and said with a sneer: "I knew that there would be a night attack, but since I am here, let's bleed some blood first!" ”
After speaking, he exchanged glances with the herald beside him, who immediately blew the brass whistle that was stuffed in his mouth.
"Whew~"
Hundreds of crossbow arrows shot out from the corners of the shield wall in the darkness, bringing a twisted and piercing roar to the rebel cavalry.
"Puff puff ......"
"Bang~"
But I heard a loud sound of an arrow falling to the ground in the dark curtain ahead, raising pieces of yellow sand and dust to drift in the night sky.
"Shoot the arrows!"
After sacrificing dozens of charging cavalry in front of him, Bai Yue immediately ordered the rebels on horseback to shoot arrows in their hands when they entered the range of the horn bow.
"Fluttering ......"
Nearly a thousand feathered arrows were shot out one after another in the hands of the rebels, and the rain of arrows even covered half of the bright moon in the sky.
"Cover!"
At the moment when the rain of arrows suddenly rose, the sword and shield men in the Lu Su battle array quickly erected the shields in their hands on the top of the heads of the archers and spearmen.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
"Ding~"
"Poof~"
"Uh......"
Most of the rain of arrows was nailed into the shields in the hands of the soldiers, but a few arrows still shot at the soldiers' bodies through the gap between the merging of the round shields.
Fortunately, the well-made iron armor kept most of the arrows out of the skin, and only a few soldiers were unlucky enough to be shot in the leg and hand, and one was pierced in the throat......
"Hmph......" After the rain of arrows, Lu Su, who was unscathed under the cover of the shield, sneered, and immediately ordered, "Reject the horse gun!" ”
"Drink!"
The shields were all inclined and scattered, and the thigh-thick guns of adults were connected in a row with iron chains, facing the rapidly approaching rebel cavalry dozens of paces away......
"Chang~"
The soft sound brought by the shaking of the iron chain is like the soldiers of death, and under the light of the torches, it is dotted with a deadly cold light......
At the same time, after rejecting the spear, the spears with a length of four meters were also tilted to the ground, aimed at the galloping war horse......
