Chapter 127: Shen Guang Asks for War

On the other side of the Yongji Canal, Qiu Xiaogang rushed out of the encirclement of the Sui army in a hurry, and when he saw Zhang Liang coming, he couldn't help but ask: "General Zhang, I'm happy to kill!" Why did you tell me to withdraw? ”

"Look at how many of the three thousand horsemen who followed your first charge have returned! If you attack the enemy line in such a reckless way, you are simply fighting blindly! Zhang Liang looked at Qiu Xiaogang coldly.

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaogang looked at the number of people behind him who had shrunk by half, and suddenly arched his hand towards Zhang Liang with a weak heart, and retreated to the side embarrassedly.

After Zhang Liang took over the command, he directly ordered: "All the cavalry obey the order, form a half-moon shaped horse formation, shoot arrows around the enemy formation, without my order, no one is allowed to attack, violators, no mercy!" ”

The ordered Wei light cavalry immediately lined up in formation under the leadership of their respective teams, rushed to a distance of eighty or ninety steps away from the Sui army's array in waves, and threw the arrows in their hands at a 45-degree angle in the sky with the help of horse speed, and then returned in a "U" shaped array, and so on.

This is a typical light cavalry tactic, using the speed of the war horse, giving full play to the advantage of cavalry and archery, and playing a role in killing, harassing, and containing the enemy formation, giving considerable pressure to the Sui army under Qian Jie's front.

The cavalry of the Wei army does not need to aim at all, only needs to be in one direction, thousands of feather arrows are like long eyes, and they continue to pierce the heavy lance soldiers of the Sui army, although there is the protection of heavy armor, but no matter how thick the armor is, it can not withstand such continuous attacks, looking at their subordinates who were shot backward by bows and arrows one after another, and some soldiers even inserted dozens of feather arrows, and their whole bodies were shot into hedgehogs, so that the originally strict queue was also loosened, and Qian Jie was so anxious that he commanded again and again: "The shield soldiers stepped forward, come forward!" ”

Soon, the shield bearers of the Sui army came to the right flank under the shouts of Qian Jie and the dispatch of Mai Mengcai, and the shield soldiers who were ordered hurriedly held up the big shield and erected the shield wall, supporting the heavy lance soldiers for a piece of the sky, so that the feather arrows shot by the Wei army's light cavalry could only be pierced on the shield, and successfully stabilized the front that was originally precarious because of the large casualties.

However, Xu Shiji, who was watching the battle from the Wei army's platform, was keenly aware of this change, and most of the Sui army's shield soldiers were transferred to the right flank, resulting in a frontal attack on Meng Fan's troops at the barracks, almost without any shelter. Seeing this, Xu Shiji immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order, let Guo Xiaoke change the formation and make room for the archers!" ”

After a while, just as Meng Fan was leading his troops to attack in front of the camp fence, he suddenly heard a uniform "pop" sound, with years of battlefield experience, he knew that this was the sound of the archer pulling the bow and winding it.

"Watch out for archers, hide quickly!" Meng Fan instinctively turned around, reduced his force area to the bottom, and shouted as he bent down and ran back.

Before the words fell, the soldiers of the Sui army in front suddenly felt that the sky suddenly darkened, and tens of thousands of feather arrows covered the sky and shot towards their own front. Most of the Sui soldiers did not have Meng Fan's reaction, they were still confused in their minds, and they could only watch as countless bows and arrows attacked them, breaking their necks and piercing their chests, but their bodies could not react.

The more than 5,000 soldiers of the Sui army who attacked the Wei army camp frontally, almost all the jumping soldiers on the front line were killed, and even the long lance soldiers wearing heavy armor could not defend themselves against such a close range of foot bows and hanging shots, and those who ran slowly were also shot into hedgehogs.

At this time, there is no need for the general to command, and the first reaction of the soldiers is to spread out and slip away! When running for their lives, everyone's thoughts are basically the same - I wish my parents had two fewer legs!

"Hanging shooting changed to projectile shooting, three rounds of rapid fire, shooting!" Guo Xiaoke commanded the Wei archers to adjust the shooting angle, and the range of the bow and arrow began to spread into the distance, so that the soldiers of the Sui army who were left behind were shot down by the covered feather arrows one after another, and many people were even directly nailed to death by the bow and arrow on the way to escape.

Only this round of feather arrow attacks made the attack that Meng Fan had organized for a long time come to naught, and in front of the Wei army's barracks, more than 3,000 corpses of Sui soldiers were left in vain, making it almost a human purgatory within fifty steps in front of the barracks.

"Order, all the archers retreat to make way for the passage, and the lancers and jumpers press forward with me, and drive these Sui dogs down the river to feed the fish!" Guo Xiaoke excitedly transferred the jumping soldiers forward, mixed and matched with the lance soldiers, set up a formation, and pressed towards Meng Fan's subordinates, who had just escaped the range of the bow and arrow.

Yang Guang, who was watching the battle on the hill in the distance, saw that the Sui army was defeated and retreated in front of the Wei army camp, and slapped his thigh in annoyance, and said, "Alas, how did Mai Mengcai do it!" Why didn't you defend against the archers of the Wei army! ”

"Uncle, the number of our army crossing the river is still too small and too slow! General Mai is under a lot of pressure! Qianniu Wei Zhonglang said Yu Wenxuan.

"Also, Mai Mengcai is only more than 20,000 people, and the number is indeed a little less. When all the sailors are ashore, and then the armor and riding equipment are loaded ashore by transport ship, the situation will be reversed! Yang Guang comforted himself.

Shen Guang pointed to the Right Yiwei Water Division and the generals of the Xiaoguo Army who were forming a team on the opposite bank of the river beach and said, "Yes, Holy Lord!" As long as there are pontoon bridges and ships of the naval division, our army will continue to support the other side, and at that time, the Wei army will not have the advantage of numbers, and it will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of our army! ”

Yang Guang looked directly at the faintly visible figure on the other side, pointed to the silver-robed young general, and said: "Having said that, but the enemy general Xu Shiji is extremely powerful, with him in charge, this group of peasant troops can exert such combat power." If we can get rid of him, the Wei army will inevitably be in turmoil, and then the whole army will collapse, and our army will be able to achieve all the success in one battle! ”

Shen Guang followed Yang Guang's gaze, looked at Xu Shiji, who was calmly commanding in the distance, thought for a while, stepped forward and asked, "Holy Lord, leave this task to me!" ”

Yang Guang looked at Shen Guang with some concern, and said, "Boss, although you have the courage of ten thousand people, but among these ten thousand troops, it is not easy to hurt that Xu Shiji, are you sure?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Guang smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Shengshang, the martial arts of the last general are not said to be the first in the world, but also the first-class in the world. ”

Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go give it a try!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Guang's tiger eyes flashed, and he said, "Please wait and see!" ”

Yang Guang nodded, took Shen Guang's hand, and admonished: "Boss, remember not to break into the enemy formation alone." If you can't find a chance, go back, don't force yourself! For me, you are much more important than Xu Shiji, and I don't want to trade at a loss! ”

Seeing that Yang Guang cared so much about himself, Shen Guang's nose was sour, and he bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "The last general will definitely do his best and swear not to disgrace his life!" ”
