Three days later, at noon, sunny and windless, our striker arrived at Pipe City.

The hexagram says that it is advisable to sacrifice on this day, and avoid erecting pillars, beams, and breaking ground. The god of joy is due south, the god of fortune is due east, the god of wealth is due west, and Zhang Chun's camp is in the north.

On that day, it was Gao Shun who led the vanguard, seeing that Zhang Chun's whole energy was focused on the city, and he was unprepared for our arrival, so he immediately made a decision and launched an attack on Zhang Chun's camp.

What a general, I thought afterwards, if the striker had been on duty at that time, he must have set up his position first and then asked me for instructions, so that the suddenness of the attack would have been lost. So Gao Shun can be handsome, and Guan Hai can only be a general.

Gao Shun raised his tiger teeth and shouted: "Thunder."

1000 lightly armored soldiers shouted in unison: "Thunder".

The spears of the soldiers slammed to the ground, and the ground trembled.

"Thunder", Gao Shun shouted again.

The "thunder" soldiers rose up in response, and the spears smashed to the ground again.

In this way, every time they drank a "thunder", they knocked on the ground, and they knocked on the ground, and they drank a "thunder".

The shouts became louder and louder, the knocking sound became louder and louder, the soldiers' fighting spirit became higher and higher, and the horses also felt the excitement and became eager to try.

When the shout rose to the highest, Gao Shun let out a long-awaited roar: "Hit."

Gao Shun's spear led to Zhang Chun's camp and took the lead in breaking into Zhang Chun's camp.

Along the way, countless rebel soldiers who were alarmed by the shouts of thunder horses came out to see the excitement. Wherever the thunder rode over, people turned over on their backs, and the tents collapsed and the houses collapsed.

Standing on the high platform of the Chinese army, I witnessed with my own eyes the attack launched by this peerless general, and its morale boost, I was amazed. If these soldiers are in my hands, the attack power is 80, in Gao Shun's hands, the attack power has risen to 110.

"Trapped in the camp, every attack is invincible", I remembered the evaluation of Gao Shun in history, such a tiger and wolf, who can resist in the world.

"Blow the military trumpet, give an order to Guan Hai, follow the route of the thunder cavalry attack, then cover the killing, wait until it meets the thunder cavalry, rush to the city wall, inform Gongsun, I will come to the rescue." Standing on a high platform, I gave orders.

With the impact of Guan Hai, the chaos in Zhang Chun's camp expanded again, and at the same time, I slowly approached Zhang Chun's camp with my foot soldiers and people's strong.

"The attack power is not enough", I stood on the high platform, and shook my head as I watched the battle. After all, it is a military tent of 70,000 people, and these soldiers are invincible wherever they go. With only 2,000 men attacking, it was difficult to predict the outcome of such a long time.

"Order, put all the snare drums on the cart, beat the snare drum together, slowly approach the opponent's camp, two thousand people are lined up in an evacuation formation, use the bed crossbow on the car to shoot at the opponent's camp, 500 Gongsun soldiers are also lined up together, shoot the opponent with bows and arrows, after five rounds of arrows, begin to retreat."

Suddenly, 300 big drums made a low "dong dong" sound neatly, and with this threatening drum sound, 500 big cars slowly approached each other.

It was close, it had already entered the range of the other party, and the cart was still in silence, approaching the other party. In the panic, the other party shot a sparse number of arrows, and with the hurried appearance of one of the opponent's generals, the wall of the wall was immediately filled with soldiers.

The 500 Gongsun soldiers were in a panic, but when they saw that our people were still moving forward calmly, they immediately stabilized and slowly opened their bows.

"Shoot", I gave the order, and a dense rain of arrows flew towards the enemy at the edge of the camp with a "buzz" like a startled crow, bringing the shadow of death and a bloody light.

Around the enemy general, the soldiers fell one after another. And he struck left and right, slashing away all the arrows that came his way. Good martial arts, I secretly praise it in my heart.

At this moment, a huge arrow from a bed crossbow flew towards him, and I stood on the building car, holding my breath, staring at the arrow, only to see this person turn slightly sideways, let go of the arrow, and slash the sword on the shaft of the arrow.

"Alas, alas." I let out a sigh of regret.

The enemy general reprimanded proudly, and the soldiers on the side of the wall, waving their swords, commanded the enemy to draw their bows.

Not good, because we were afraid of accidentally injuring our soldiers in the village, so we used flat shooting, and now, the whole team is exposed to the enemy's firing range, under the command of the enemy's brave general, the people will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"Mountain", I shouted, the military horn sounded, 1,000 ironclad foot soldiers marched to the front of the formation, and the crossbow team slowly retreated.

The enraged crossbow captain, unwilling to fail in the retreat, gave a loud order, mobilized 20 bed crossbows, and aimed at the enemy general.

"Shoot", with a wave of his hand, sixty arrows on the three-bow bed crossbow, like a swarm of mosquitoes smelling blood, made a buzzing sound and left the string.

This enemy general was really amazing, he cut down seven or eight long arrows in a row, one was unguarded, and a long arrow drilled out of his armpit, which pierced his body fiercely, and the huge impact took him flying, and in this short pause, dozens of long arrows passed through his body.

On the upstairs car, Tian Chou sighed beside me: "The ancients said that those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements. It is unimaginable that such a brave general should die in the midst of a nobody. ”

I nodded, and let out another loud shout: "Mountain".

The trumpet sounded again, the crossbow team accelerated the speed of retreat, and immediately, the ironclad infantry appeared in front of the formation, and after hearing the military horn, the ironclad infantry immediately formed a shield mountain with a group of 10 people.

This shield mountain is composed of 8 round shields, on both sides of which are symmetrically marked with two meniscus-shaped notches. In the shield mountain, the front row squatted down to protect the bottom of the team with a shield. The people in the back row stand up, protect the team with a shield, and the squad leader (squad leader) is in the center of the round shield, observing the direction through the gap in the crescent, directing everyone to advance, as soon as there is an enemy arrow only into the gap of the shield, just turn the round shield slightly, you can seal the gap. There were 4 men with spears and 4 men with short knives in the shield mountain. The two did not hold a shield, and waited with a bow. The whole shield mountain is inclined upwards at a 45-degree angle, and the shield mountain is separated by a team distance between the shield mountain, and slowly moves forward.

The enemy's arrows hit the shield hill with a crackling sound, and although most of the arrows were blocked, there were still occasional misses from our soldiers who fell.

100 steps, I silently calculated the distance.

Issue the command: "Wind".

Shield Mountain immediately moved a gap, and the soldier with his bow and arrow shot a lightning arrow, aiming at the opposing archer. After shooting the arrows, the archers quickly hid in the shield mountain again.

50 steps, I gave the order again.

"Forest".

The horn sounded, the shield mountain dispersed, the round shield of the soldiers formed a horizontal column, quickly ran towards the enemy, 10 steps, the enemy army has panicked, by the wall, from time to time there are two or three soldiers drop their bows, turn around and run away, and gradually the number of people who flee is more.

"Fire", I give the order.

At this time, the spear-wielding soldier threw down the round shield, stabbed at the enemy with the gun in both hands, and the school knife hand beside him, holding the shield in one hand, and wielding the knife in the other hand to fight with the enemy pawn, a little farther away, two soldiers with bows, wandering around the periphery of the battle circle, from time to time to release cold arrows.

The enemy army was terrified, and the enemy soldiers fled in all directions like a landslide. I ordered the drummer to use the drums to control the rhythm of the infantry's attack. In case the foot soldiers penetrate deep into the enemy fortress.

On the building car, Tian Chou sighed with emotion: "The change in the battle formation of the lord is really dazzling. These soldiers are so brave that they use them to conquer the world, so why worry about not succeeding in big things. ”

I glanced at Tian Chou, didn't care about the reaction in his words, and sighed: "These foot soldiers, good is good, but it's a pity that there is still a soul missing." If there is a fierce general who leads them, I will not let Zhang Chun have a good time today. Hateful, I had planned to personally lead them to kill the enemy, but in this case, there is a lack of someone to control the overall situation. If Zitai can take on the heavy responsibility here, I will behead Zhang Chun today. ”

Tian Chou immediately saluted and said: "It is only the responsibility of the commander to fight in battle, and the lord is the soul of the three armies, so how can he be in danger." In this case, I will never mention it again, but after this battle, we must pay more attention to the search for talent. ”

I nodded, and saw that the foot soldiers had gone deep into Zhang Chun's camp, and ordered: "Change the drum sound, use the rolling drum to remind the foot soldiers, and slowly retreat in the formation of the word "Lin". ”

Looking at the sky, I then gave the order: "Order: The people are strong and set up camp on the spot."

"No", Tian Chou shouted urgently.

"Our army is small, this place is only a stone's throw away from the enemy's camp, if we set up a village here, the enemy army surrounds it in all directions, what will we do?"

I shook my head and replied, "It's okay, three of our troops are deep in the enemy's camp, and if we wait for this time to retreat and camp, it will have too much impact on our morale." As long as we kill the enemy during the day, the enemy is afraid of our combat strength and is worried that the Gongsun soldiers in the city will attack, so we will divide our troops to defend on both sides. When we wait until the next day, we and Gongsun soldiers divide our troops and attack together, how can the enemy not retreat? ”

Looking up at the sky, the sun was setting, and the sky was full of red, as if the blood of the soldiers had dyed the sky red.

"Order, order Gao Shun to return to the army, Guan Hai directly into the city, and get in touch with Gongsun Zhan."

Tian Chou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Lord, our combat strength mainly depends on these 2,000 cavalry, if we divide another 1,000 troops into the city, will it make the defense here weak." ”

My heart moved, and I immediately said: "Zitai reminded me right, today's battle, 500 Gongsun soldiers did not consume much physical strength, it is better to lead these 500 soldiers to borrow the cover of the village, immediately set off, go back 5 miles to rest, and wait until sunset, Zitai let these 500 soldiers light more torches, with 500 people pretending to be 5000 people, enter the camp to rest." ”

Tian Chou immediately took the order and left.

After this battle went straight to sunset, Gao Shun returned to the army and entered the camp, and 920 of the 1,000 ironclad soldiers returned, all of whom were full of exhaustion.

In this battle, although we suffered few casualties, but I had a heartache, these soldiers, I have trained for two years, each one of them is my wealth, and it will take another two years to train a replacement. Time, do I still have time?

The Yellow Turban Rebellion is coming.

Gao Shun ignored my pity for the soldiers, looked around, frowned, and said: "The camp here is dangerous and abnormal, so ask the soldiers to rest quickly, take turns to be on guard, and tonight they will not undress their armor and their horses will not unsaddle." ”

I smiled slightly, and replied, "No, I have other arrangements, let the soldiers rest, they are tired after a day of fighting." ”

At night, Gao Shun could not sleep well, got up in his clothes, came to the wall, saw where I was wandering, raised his eyes, and faintly heard the sound of people shouting and neighing from the other camp.

Surprised: "The enemy army is going to attack at night, quickly blow the military trumpet and call the whole army to be on alert." ”

I forced the panic in my heart and said, "Wait."

Gao Shun hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted: "You can't wait any longer, it's too late to wait any longer, blow the military horn quickly." ”

I hesitated for a moment, and was about to explain again, when behind me, the military horn sounded, this is the sound of the inquiry horn, and our non-commissioned officers are asking for the number of the opposing unit, indicating that an army is approaching us. Later, in the distance, another trumpet sounded, and immediately after, the army in charge of the city echoed with their trumpets. I breathed a sigh of relief that we were safe.

Gao Shun listened to the sound of the trumpet and asked strangely: "How can we still have an army, could it be that the enemy army is pretending." ”

"No," I replied, "That's the 500 Gongsun soldiers led by Tian Chou to return to the army, besides, our military numbers are complicated, and the enemy army is not easy to impersonate." ”

Gao Shun nodded suddenly, "The master said that you plan everything and then act, it seems that what the master said is right." ”

I immediately said: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake, senior brother must not look at me in this way, and I hope that senior brother will often remind me of my omissions in the future." ”

Gao Shun said approvingly: "The lord has this idea, and he will not worry about the calculation in the future." ”

Gao Shun and I came to Houzhai and watched Tian Chou's army slowly approach.

"This plan is too dangerous," Gao Shunyi frowned, "with 500 people pretending to be 5,000 people, the team will inevitably be very open, and act like this in front of the enemy formation, once the enemy army attacks, there is no time to gather the soldiers, these 500 soldiers will be dangerous." ”

"Senior brother, you said, after a fierce battle during the day, now that I have reinforcements, our army in the city has begun to echo with our army, does the enemy dare to fight?" I said with a smile.

Gao Shun smiled faintly, "In this way, I can sleep peacefully tonight." Then he turned around and went back to the tent, and fell asleep.

After that, I came to the front of the village again with no worries, and listened to the voice of Zhang Chun's camp, and the sound of people shouting and neighing has gradually dispersed.

Okay, I got up and left the wall. Tonight, too, I can sleep.
