Chapter 90: Needle Tip to Mai Mang
Suddenly, hundreds of trebuchets were full of firepower, and the stone bullets in the sky were roaring and pouring down to the Yellow Turban camp, and suddenly, this space was like the end of the world, and countless stone bullets rumbled down on the fence of the camp wall, the fence trembled, and bombarded the felt cloth tent, and the tent either collapsed violently, or was riddled with holes, and leaked everywhere...
Standing in a rough wooden bunker lookout post, looking at the rain of stones, I sighed in my heart, the performance of our army's trebuchet is still too poor, compared to the opponent's, it is just a cat and a tiger, hey, there are too few talents! Thankfully, after a few months, we have finally figured out a way to avoid trebuchet attacks, otherwise the consequences will be worrying.
Subconsciously looked at a few trenches not far away, the ugly face finally stretched out, revealing a smile, the trench in front of him is very simple, that is, dig an L-shaped ravine more than one zhang deep, and then dig a one-person-high hole nest horizontally from the bottom of the trench for people and horses to hide. Although the bomb shelter is simple, it took a lot of effort to think of this idea, and it works very well today.
The trebuchet bombed for a long time, why didn't there be a scream and wail? I felt weird. With doubts, I climbed to the high observation platform and adjusted the lens of the 'clairvoyance', the scene in the Yellow Turban camp continued to magnify, and the whole camp was quiet, and there was not a single ghost.
The camera continued to move, and in an air raid watchtower in the shape of a Lei Feng hat, I found a smiling face, which turned out to be an old friend. I realized right away that the enemy was hiding, and that the hiding place was very safe, and it seemed that the trebuchet's attack for today had completely failed.
The iron-blooded battlefield is the best place to stimulate human ingenuity.
I didn't want him to see the telescope and copy it, so I hurriedly put down the 'clairvoyance' and turned away, although it was so far away, he probably couldn't see clearly, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
After the long-range attack of the trebuchet, I was about to raise my tent to gather generals, when suddenly the other party sent a messenger and handed over a war letter, and agreed to meet tomorrow when the two sides would fight outside the city. This war letter came in time, and I was afraid that you would be a turtle with a shrunken head, so I immediately agreed, and said to the envoy: "You bring the word back, tomorrow Japan will personally lead the army to wait outside the city." ”
At dawn the next day, the elite of the Yellow Turban Army was exhausted, and the entire 140,000 soldiers were lined up in several huge phalanxes, which were gradually spread out outside the city in turn.
For this general battle, I dispatched an army of 45,000 troops, a phalanx of Macedonian spears, a phalanx of bows and crossbows, a phalanx of swords, and a phalanx of heavily armed Modao infantry. The fierce generals around him, Xu Zhu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, Le Jin, Cao Xing, Shi A, Wu Anguo, Zhou Cang are equal to the left and right Gongwei, everyone is excited at the moment, nearly 200,000 people can experience a few times in a lifetime!
The Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side was three times larger than mine, and its formation was so vast that it could not be seen at a glance. The phalanx arranged in it has a faint look like our army, first the spear phalanx, next to the bow and crossbow phalanx, the second row is the sword and shield hand and the knife car phalanx, and the last row is the most fierce and daring Yellow Turban wrestler phalanx in the Yellow Turban Army, and there is a mysterious formation beside them, which is well hidden by various camouflage methods, so I can't help but take a few more looks.
Suddenly, the horn sounded, the bells and drums played in unison, and more than 10,000 yellow turban wrestlers took sonorous and powerful steps, surrounded by a canopy chariot pulled by two horses, and under the guidance of the hunting battle flag, they crossed the yellow turban phalanx... When the canopy chariot came to an abrupt halt at the front of the army, all the Yellow Turban soldiers cheered loudly, looking up at their godlike existence with fanatical eyes!
The immortal in the car wore a seven-star Dao crown, a purple gold wide-sleeved crane, and a magic sword hanging from his waist, standing in the wind, not only sprinkling dust, but also losing a bit of majesty and solemnity! He is Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army and a great sage and mentor.
Zhang Jiao pressed his palm to stop the commotion of everyone, and then arched his hand in the direction of our army and said, "Please go out to fight against the general." ”
"I don't know who your Excellency is?" I rode my horse to a stop at the corner of the horn, and then asked knowingly, in fact, this posture, even a blind person can guess who the other party is!
"Taiping Road is also Zhangjiao." The voice of the leader of the Yellow Turban Army was not high, but it clearly reached the ears of most people, and it was a little evil.
"It turned out to be Sect Leader Zhang, and I have admired it for a long time." I snorted haha.
"Don't dare, don't dare, speaking of which, General Yu Zhang still has the grace to live!" Zhang Jiao's answer was very sincere, which made people feel close.
"I have lived with the sect leader in the same life, how can I have the grace of life? If the sect leader wants to use a divisive strategy in front of the battle, I am afraid that it will be in vain. Unmoved, I replied lightly.
"Such a little trick is disdainful. At the end of last winter, a certain mistake hit the arrow, ordinary medical skills, there was no solution, but taught the medical general of Zhongsu to pioneer arterial suturing and artificial blood transfusion to pull a certain back from Huangquan Road, hahaha! Zhang thanked the general for this. Zhang Jiao explained the reason and was about to bow down.
I raised my right palm and stopped: "There is no need to salute, if the sect leader is really sincere, it is better to thank him with his life, hehe!" Isn't that what everyone is clear? "I sighed in my heart, in the original history, Zhang Jiao hung up not long after the incident, and now it has been more than a year, he is still fierce, and he actually changed his fate because of my arrival, which is really providential.
"No problem, as long as the general has the ability, just come and get it." Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, seemingly low-key, but in fact, he revealed a sense of pride that my life is up to me!
"Okay, Ben will not disappoint the sect master!" I laughed out loud and said loudly.
As soon as the words fell, the generals behind me burst into laughter, feeling that it was justified. Some people shouted: Capture Zhang Jiao alive, capture Zhang Jiao alive!
Seeing this, Chu Yan, Guan Hai and other yellow turban warriors came out angrily and drew their swords against each other. Zhang Jiao gently waved his hand to stop it, and the generals had to look angrily, and their teeth rattled, eager to eat me alive.
Seeing that our morale was so strong, Zhang Jiao regretted his pre-battle test of me, and he suddenly began to wonder, is today's battle really necessary? He turned his head to look at the Gu Gu beside him, and what he saw was a solemn face.
Although there were some bad thoughts, the arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jiao eliminated distracting thoughts, Huo Ran pulled out the demon sword at his waist, turned around and shouted to thousands of Yellow Turban believers: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand; The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Kill! ”
The drums rumbled, and the Yellow Turban Army's version of the Macedonian phalanx was full of 10,000 people.
A spear with a long handle of more than two feet is the hallmark of this class. Dense, pointing straight to the sky, the forest is cold and cold like a moving steel jungle. The nearly human-tall giant shield queue followed suit, encircling the left and right, protecting the front and wings of the spear phalanx tightly, as if wearing a helmet for it.
The drums beat more urgently, and the large array of 10,000 people began to accelerate, and a killing intent like a substance approached our army.
"Banmen get an axe!" I sneered, and the flag waved, and the horn froze.
In the avenue reserved for the army, one after another wheelbarrows poured out of the large formation, lined up in a half-moon shape, and met the enemy army.
The next few hundred vehicles formed five columns as substitutes; In several aisles of the convoy, pikemen and crossbowmen accompanied them.
The shape of this car is simple, the front baffle is in the shape of an arrow, seven feet high, one foot wide, wrapped in thick iron sheets, and there are several round holes in the middle, through which the spear can stab the enemy outward.
The wheelbarrow shield car is convenient and practical, and the official road off-road is not a problem.
Dozens of shield carts swung sideways, like a moving wall, and under the vigorous push of the warriors, they crashed into the enemy.
"Crossbowman, shoot back!" Wu Anguo shouted violently.
Woohoo! The crossbowmen behind the shield car array fired thousands of arrows in unison, soaring into the sky, and the continuous rain of arrows cut through the air in a deadly arc, turning around and falling towards the spear array of the Yellow Turban Army.
Just before the crossbow bolts landed, the outermost giant shield quickly closed and formed a seamless shield wall. The shieldmen in the second and third rows raised their large shields diagonally in the air, forming an anti-aircraft shield array.
The tortoiseshell-like shield blocked most of the arrows, but there were always some unfortunate ghosts who came to the stray arrows through the cracks in the shield wall, poofing into the flesh and bones, and then letting out a heart-wrenching howl.
The Yellow Turban Army is still moving forward, some people in front have fallen, and those behind have immediately topped up, one after another, and the queue is still not chaotic, these peasants who have not long put down their hoes have degenerated into veterans of the battlefield.
Boom Boom! The iron-clad shield car and the yellow turban shield collided together, countless yellow turban shieldmen were knocked away, sawdust exploded, and bones broke everywhere!
Countless Yellow Turban soldiers rushed forward with their lives, clanging! The spear stabbed into the shield car's baffle, clanging and sparks overflowing, but it did nothing to the shield car.
Despite this, the Yellow Turban Warrior still risked his life to attack the shield cart, and refused to retreat half a point to the death.
"Spear ready, stab!" Wu Anguo roared, and at the same time, a heavy axe slashed out, tearing a big shield on the opposite side, and the axe was not stopping, splitting a strong man with a yellow scarf with a big waist and a round waist into two sections.
The next moment, in the round hole of the shield car's baffle, a sharp spear pierced out like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and suddenly burrowed into the limbs of the Yellow Turban soldiers crowded in front, blood flew sideways, and screams erupted...
He was not surprised to see our army's shield cart. He would have wondered if our army had no way to deal with the spear phalanx, after all, the spear array was imitated from the other side. Now, the warriors of the 10,000 spear phalanx have performed remarkably, although they have encountered setbacks in the face of a strong enemy, they will never give up, this fighting spirit and resilience make him feel gratified, although it will probably lose one or two layers of troops, but it is nothing, without the test of blood and fire, without fighting head-on with the Tiger Army, how can it be tempered into the elite of the world!
"Cheng Lian and Fang Yue, each of you brings a sword and shield soldier, be sure to break through the two wings of the enemy formation!" I was secretly amazed by the stubborn fighting spirit of the enemy, and knew that I should not take it lightly, so I gave the order again.
Two teams of round shields immediately rushed out of the formation, the soldiers with the first knife in their hands with thick back rings, one team followed Cheng Lian on the left, and the other team followed Fang Yue to the right, bypassing the Yellow Turban Army's spear phalanx, one left and one right attacked the flanks on both sides.
The weakest point of the spear phalanx is the flanks and flanks, and now they are being killed by our saber and shield hands, although those big shieldmen have a hand to defend the bow and crossbow, but the long-term holding of the shield has consumed most of their physical strength, and they are already powerless against my new force, and in less than a moment, it is already scattered, which has made the spear phalanx chaotic.
Seeing that the spear phalanx of his own army was barely advancing in the frontal attack, and that the enemy had divided his forces to storm the weakest flanks of the phalanx, and that any further attack would only increase casualties, he knew that it was time for the spear phalanx to withdraw.
The tone set by this battle itself is not to fight the enemy to the death, but to win a small victory to boost morale; Using the Tiger Army as a whetstone to increase combat power is the second thing, so it is essential to take turns in battle.
Su Gu didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately sent an order left and right: "Ming Hello collects the troops, and the knife and car array will be pressed immediately!" ”
