Chapter 3: Engagement

A slight setback, that is a defeat!

Yihua chuckled sharply in his heart, left Su Fu, and strode towards the high platform, walked to the front of the high platform, looked up at the high platform that was much higher than the arrow towers around him, Yihua took a deep breath, followed the stairs, and climbed to the high platform.

It only took two or three minutes for Yihua to climb up the high platform made of more than 100 steps of loess and come to the top of the high platform. I saw a few armor soldiers holding five-color flags standing around the high platform, standing solemnly, motionless, like wooden people.

As soon as Yihua and Sima Sufu and others of the Chinese army walked onto the high platform, a soldier bowed down and handed over a trumpet-shaped cylinder.

The oldest one handed over by the armor soldier, without a single lens, was completely a hollow cylindrical 'telescope', Yihua held it up to his eyes, and looked in the direction of the neighing of war horses to the east, but saw that the dust outside the valley was flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of horses' hooves drifting with the mountain wind.

After a while, where the dust was raised, a war horse appeared, followed by a second horse, a third horse, and in the blink of an eye, it became a black oppressive piece, not to mention hundreds of horses, and behind the hundreds of cavalry, there were hundreds of foot soldiers, and it was almost impossible to see the formation of the phalanx, and it was like scattered sand galloping towards the direction of the Zhao army's camp.

And behind those foot soldiers, there were groups of elite cavalry riding jujube red horses and wearing black armor, chasing while constantly riding horses and shooting arrows, and those who were close to the Zhao army's foot soldiers raised the scimitar in their hands high, and then slashed down fiercely, cutting down the fleeing Zhao army foot soldiers one by one......

"Childe......" Sima Sufu's face changed involuntarily, and he shouted in a lost voice.

Yihua said without looking back: "General Su! ”

"The last general!"

"You are the Sima of the Chinese army, how to arrange the battle, it is up to you to decide!"

Su Fu paused slightly, and then responded loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

As he spoke, Su Fu took a few steps forward, walked behind the few soldiers who were clinging to the five-color order flag, and shouted: "Where are the soldiers!" ”

"In!" More than a dozen five-color soldiers responded aloud together.

"Order, the cavalry turns left, the foot soldiers turn right, bypass the big camp, whoever dares to break into the big camp will be killed!"

"Whoa!" The two commanders responded loudly, took the five-color order flag in their hands, walked to the high platform, and waved violently in the wind a few times.

"Order the archers, aim at the second column of the Xue army's cavalry, Xue army is close to fifty steps in front of the battalion, and immediately release the arrow!"

"Whoa!"

"Commanding sword and shield hands, twenty steps behind the camp gate to stand by!"

"Whoa!"

"Command the crossbowmen, and stand by the sword and shield hands!"

……

One by one, orders kept coming out of the mouth of Sima Su Fu of the Chinese army, and one by one the soldiers led the orders, holding high the five-color order flag, and passed Su Fu's orders to the Zhao soldiers who stayed in the camp, and the Zhao soldiers who stayed in the camp, under the command and leadership of their respective commanders, even the centurions and thousands, soon formed an infantry phalanx composed of archers, crossbowmen, and sword and shield men behind the camp tent of the Zhao army, quietly waiting for the arrival of the cavalry of the Xue army.

After the order was issued, Su Fu turned around and bowed to Yihua again, and said: "Childe, please ask Gongzi to stay in the general's platform and deploy in the center, and the last general will lead the rear army to ride lightly and rush out of the camp, and he will definitely save the prince and the marquis to return to the camp safely!" With that, Su Fu got up and was about to walk under the high platform.

Just took two steps, Su Fu was stopped by Yihua again: "General Su! ”

"What else does Childe command?" Su Fu had no choice but to stop, turned to Yihua and bowed to him and asked.

"The general is the Sima of the Chinese army, and his duty is to guard the Chinese army, yes or no?" Yihua looked at Su Fu and asked.

Su Fu paused slightly, and then bowed down and responded, "Yes." ”

"The one who was hunted down and killed outside the tent was the father of this son, yes or no?"

Su Fu couldn't help but pause again, and then responded: "Yes." ”

"That is the case, how can there be a reason for this son to be in command, and you, the Sima of the Chinese army, will personally face the battle?" Yi Hua glared at Su Fu, said loudly, and as he spoke, Yi Hua immediately shouted loudly: "Uncle Midnight!" ”

Uncle Ziye froze slightly, then knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and responded: "The end will be!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Yihua immediately shouted loudly: "Gather the rear army and ride lightly, and charge the battle with this son to kill the enemy!" ”

Just a moment ago, Yihua had already thought very clearly, no matter how he came to this world, no matter how he resisted in his heart, how he refused to admit it, the bronze armor veteran and the bearded military general were his 'father' and 'big brother', but in the eyes of others, the bronze armor veteran was his father, and the bearded military general was his eldest brother!

Once the Zhao army's camp is breached, those Xue Jun outside will not care whether he is a person from this time and space, they will only recognize him as the son of the prince of Zhao Jun, the noble son and big man in the Zhao army, and he will be captured together with his 'father' and 'eldest brother', and what awaits him is a miserable captive career!

It is better to die than to be taken prisoner!

In the previous life, Yihua was a soldier, a soldier who defended his family and the country, and stood up to the sky, he was born in a military family, and he was instilled with the idea of "I'd rather die than be a prisoner" since he was a child, as a soldier, he must die on the battlefield! Let him nest in the rear and 'sit in command', it is better to give him a knife and kill in the midst of thousands of armies!

What's more, now is the era of cold weapons, how to dispatch and command those archers, crossbowmen, and knife and axe hands, Yihua, a modern person, is really black-eyed, and he doesn't know where to start at all, so it is better to let the Chinese army Sima who knows how to command to take command, and just kill the enemy!

Listening to Yihua's words, Uncle Gongye paused slightly, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he responded loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Seeing this, Su Fu couldn't help but smack for a moment, and then shouted in a lost voice: "Childe! ”

Yihua turned around and looked at Su Fu, but Su Fu didn't say anything more, just solemnly bowed to Yihua, and said with tears in his eyes: "Take care, childe!" ”

Yihua bowed slightly towards Su Fu, and immediately shouted loudly: "Midnight, let's go!" He turned and strode off the platform.

Under the high platform, the rear army of light cavalry of 5,000 has been assembled, a team of light cavalry dressed in cloth armor, not even wearing a helmet, holding a gun and halberd in their hands, riding on a black horse, lined up in a big phalanx, without saying a word, looking at Yihua quietly with both eyes, and on both sides of the saddle there are also arrows, bows, three-foot broadswords and other long-range melee weapons.

Yihua took his uncle Midnight, walked to the front of the five thousand light horses, turned over and got on the horse, "Choke! ~" pulled out his long sword, pointed obliquely at the sky, and shouted: "Sons, follow me into battle to kill the enemy and rescue the prince!" ”

"Go into battle to kill the enemy and rescue the prince!" Five thousand people shouted together.

In the roar, Yihua turned the horse's head, and the three-foot broadsword slapped on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse under the seat slammed forward, Yihua's body involuntarily leaned back, and Yihua hurriedly pulled the reins hard, and finally stabilized his body.

"Childe be careful!" Uncle Midnight said with some worry on the side.

Yihua smiled at Uncle Midnight, then pointed his long sword forward, and shouted, "Kill! ~”

"Kill! ~”

Uncle Midnight and several other commanders shouted loudly at the same time, and rushed out on horseback, and the other five thousand light horsemen also shouted: "Kill! ~"Following Uncle Midnight and the commanders, the horses rushed up towards the camp gate.

Outside the Yuanmen, the defeated army of the Zhao army had retreated to a place less than two hundred steps away from the camp tent, and those defeated troops were still rushing towards the Yuanmen like a swarm, and they didn't notice the order of the Chinese army Sima Sufu to let them bypass the camp tent and retreat to both sides!

Behind the fence of the camp tent, the archers in the front and back rows were already in position, stretching their bows and arrows, aiming at the defeated army that was coming towards the camp from a few hundred paces away.

"Prepare the archers, shoot the formation, do not allow the defeated soldiers to enter the camp, and those who dare to rush the camp will be killed!"

Su Fu's order came down from the high platform again, and the archer centurion and the thousand-leggon responded with a bang, and immediately turned around and ordered: "Bow ready!" ~”

"Outside the camp, the Zhao army, the cavalry is facing the left, the infantry is facing the right, bypassing the camp tent!"

"Outside the camp, the Zhao army, the cavalry is facing the left, the infantry is facing the right, bypassing the camp tent!"

Dozens of loud voices stood at the fence and shouted loudly at Zhao Jun outside the camp tent.

Some Zhao soldiers obeyed the order and walked around the left and right sides of the camp tent, but there were still some Zhao soldiers who rushed towards the camp tent like headless flies, in their eyes, now only the big camp behind the gate can bring them a little sense of security!

Seeing that some of the defeated soldiers of the Zhao army had rushed to a distance of less than 100 steps from the Yuanmen, and the Xue army who was following behind them also rushed to a distance of less than 100 steps outside the Yuanmen, and it was even possible to follow the defeated soldiers of the Zhao army and rush into the camp of the Zhao army!

One of the commanders commanding the archers by the fence finally couldn't help it, waved his big hand violently, and shouted: "Seventy steps outside the camp, release the arrow!" ”

Thousands of arrows flew seventy paces away like raindrops and locusts, and the Zhao army, which was about seventy paces away from Yuanmen, and the cavalry of the Xue army, which was mixed in, shot them to the ground one by one, and screamed uncontrollably.

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

The commander of the archers was still expressionless, and gave orders to release arrows one after another in a cold and ruthless tone, and with each order he gave the order, there would be thousands of feathered arrows, flying out like raindrops of locusts, shooting the enemy, including some of his own people, all to the ground, and in a few breaths, hundreds of Zhao army routs and Xue army's pursuers fell outside the gate.

Subsequently, as if they had just heard the shouts of the loud heralds, the rout of the Zhao army bypassed the Zhao army camp and ran lifeless on both sides according to the order of the cavalry to the left and the infantry to the right.

Immediately afterwards, the pursuing Xue army also divided into two groups, bypassing the Zhao army's camp, and chasing the routs on the left and right!
