Chapter 560: Where Are the Reinforcements?
"When will you actually do it? It's been so long. ”
Jiang Xi followed a few companions around him, lying on the ground together, cautiously peeking into the distance, watching the famous Hu rider, forcing and driving the tenant farmers and the common people, towards the city!
Listening to the screams in his ears, although he couldn't hear it very clearly because of the distance and the obstruction of the trees, Jiang Xi still felt restless in his heart when he looked at the "blood flowers" that bloomed in the distance.
His background, strictly speaking, was also a tenant farmer, so when he saw the scene outside the city, he had a particularly sense of resonance, so that even after the rapid march, the physical exhaustion was suppressed a lot.
"Xiao Jiang, calm down, the team leader hasn't issued an order yet, we can't move! You have to be worthy of the food of the Taishou, and you can't be impulsive. ”
A steady voice came from the side, it was his companion, Lao Zhang from Zhangjia Village, his skin was dark, but his physique was quite strong, and while talking, he was still looking outside.
Around the two of them, there were still figures lying on their stomachs, and farther away, in the forest, you could still see the figures moving slowly forward, they followed the points they had mastered during the exercise, crawling between the forest leaves and the soil.
In the north of this era, there are also many dense forest places, when the city and county are close to the water source, it is the surrounding vegetation is luxuriant, and it is the middle of summer, the rainfall is quite abundant, the forest is prosperous and green, and the clothes on Jiang Xi and others are also dark and dark green, people lie in the forest, if they do not carefully explore and check closely, it is difficult to distinguish.
That's why so many of them are hiding in it, and the Xianbei people who are eager to break the city in the distance haven't found it.
"When?" Jiang Xi became more and more anxious, but after many days of practice, coupled with listening to Chen Zhi's several lectures, and learning a little bit of the fur of the military formation, this concept of ordering and prohibiting is deeply rooted in the heart, although anxious, it is not enough to act indiscriminately.
Lao Zhang lowered his voice and whispered: "It's hard to say, but you don't have to worry, let's travel all the way and arrive here, definitely not to be a watchman, besides, aren't there still a few groups of people who have been taken to other places, maybe we have to wait for them to do it!" ”
"That's all there is to it." Jiang Xi listened and felt that it made sense.
These people, of course, have been restrained by Chen Zhi and practiced martial arts for some time, and under the combined effect of persuading them to learn tea and various special training methods, they have the power to fight in a short period of time, and they have the atmosphere of ordering and prohibiting.
Just a few days ago, they suddenly got an order, under the leadership of Yang Song and others, left the barracks outside Daixian overnight, took some dry food, marched all the way, and walked forward on their feet, and finally arrived around Dangcheng last night.
Through the news sent back by the scouts, this army of soldiers and horses grasped the movements of the Xianbei people, and at the same time carried out a simple layout, and early in the morning, they divided into several routes, ambushed around, waiting for the Xianbei people's movements.
Waiting for the scene of the Xianbei people driving the people to attack the city.
Time passed bit by bit, as the Xianbei people got closer and closer to the county seat of Dangcheng, and the people at the front were also injured by nearly thirty percent, Jiang Xi's eyes were red, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of reason in his heart, I am afraid that he would have rushed out a long time ago.
But even so, his persistence is almost to the limit, like a string in his heart, the tighter and tighter it is, it is about to be broken.
At this moment, a drum suddenly came out of the forest, accompanied by a command, Jiang Xi suddenly felt a burst of clarity in his mind, got up from the ground, touched the blade beside him, and rushed out directly!
This rush, he vented the anger and anger accumulated in his chest when he was lying on his stomach just now, and through the shouting in his mouth and the pedaling of his legs, the whole person ran faster and faster!
However, in the depths of the memory that has been blessed by persuasion to learn tea, he still retains his subconscious of the military formation and phalanx, so when running, he can almost instinctively maintain the distance and position with his comrades around him.
Of course, he was not the only one who ran faster and faster, the others who had been lurking in the grass and trees for a long time, watching the people being slaughtered, and watching the Hu people show their ferocious martial artists, also erupted with anger in their chests! In a fast sprint!
"Formation! Formation! Maintain the formation! ”
There are still many people who can keep calm, at least the team leader of each team still remembers his duties, and while taking the lead in the charge, he also shouts to the team members next to him, reminding them to remember the key points.
After all, this is not a group fight, not a competition of martial arts, but a war, when fighting, it is not that you can fight, you will definitely win, but that you can maintain the situation and formation, so that you can have the last laugh.
The so-called rout often begins with the distortion and collapse of the formation.
In view of this, when attacking, it is not necessarily good to be fast, and it is not said that you can win without fear, but to maintain organization, be able to dispatch and command!
Therefore, when these martial artists charged, the reminder of the team leader was particularly important to them, which activated the seeds planted by their subconscious persuasion to learn tea and maintain the most basic formation.
Therefore, when the many martial artists who rushed out of the woods came into contact with the Xianbei cavalry with their backs to them, from a distance, they could still see the outline of the formation, and they could see the rules!
The rain of arrows in the forest soared into the air, drawing an arc in the air, falling like raindrops, smashing into the Xianbei cavalry, this sudden change made the Xianbei people surprised and shocked, not to mention that they were heading towards the city, but the rain of arrows flew out of the woods behind them, heading straight for their backs!
All of a sudden, people called horses neighing, and before many people had time to react, the arrows had been inserted in their shoulders, and many people subconsciously turned the horse's head, wanting to see what was going on, but such a decision made their movements slow and fixed in place, and finally what caught their eyes was only the arrows that came at a gallop!
Puff puff!
The sound of arrows piercing into flesh rang out, some inserting into the bodies of the Xianbei people, others into their crotch mounts.
If it weren't for the fact that the archers were very rusty, and the accuracy and range of my head and range were not accurate, just this round of arrow rain would have been enough to make these Xianbei people lose more than half, but now it is only about a quarter of the last people and horses to suffer.
But this was enough, and after the rain of arrows, the advance of the Xianbei people still stagnated, and the general team fell into confusion, losing the formation of the cavalry charge.
And as the rain of arrows stopped, it was followed by a dense mass of infantry!
"Kill!"
Jiang Xi was in battle for the first time, but he didn't hesitate to stab his spear at the Xianbei people in front of him!
During the drill and the march, their superiors, team leaders and others would give them psychological counseling from time to time, telling them the dangers of the battlefield and the scenes of the battle according to Chen Zhi's instructions, so as to make them less afraid.
In fact, there are almost no veterans in this army composed of Wu Ding, and even those team leaders and others who seem to be quite experienced are selected from Chen Zhi's hundreds of family members, but they have never set foot on the battlefield in the real sense.
At most, some people have fought against horse thieves and small groups of cavalry under the leadership of Chen Zhi, so in terms of mentality, this army is immature.
The battlefield brings death, and the battlefield brings blood.
A person, when he is placed in it, will be at a loss and needs someone to guide him, but Chen Zhi does not have such conditions, he must choose a suitable opponent and let the soldiers experience it first.
After such tempering, the mentality will become different.
But when they really go to the battlefield, there will inevitably be cowardly people, but fortunately, under the ferocious and barbaric treatment of the people by Ke Bo Zhenbu, forcing and driving them to death, and thinking about the actions of breaking the city, these young warriors are angry, and the anger makes them forget the horror of death and blood, and the shouts of their comrades around them inspire their killing intent.
As a result, the contact between these soldiers and horses and the Xianbei people brought about a breakthrough!
Surprise attacks, chaotic enemy formations, and facing Xianbei's back with righteousness, coupled with coincidental circumstances, Xianbei himself placed too many obstacles around him - the soldiers who were tied to the side, and the people who were placed in front, invisibly offset the greatest advantage of the cavalry.
Under the combined effect of these factors, this Xianbei army quickly fell into a disadvantage, no matter how a few leaders shouted, chaos and panic still spread among the Xianbei people.
"Hold it off for me! Kill back! Kill back! We are the warriors of the steppe, use your scimitars to tell these despicable sneak attackers who are the warriors! The handsome Su Jituo turned the horse's head and rushed out, ignoring Zhu Hong, who was tied to the side, and just galloped like this, he waved his scimitar on the horse's back, the sharp blade, flashing cold, skimming the neck of a famous martial artist.
Soon, under his ferocity, the surrounding Wuding recovered from the excitement of the blood gushing, knew the fear, and began to dodge, leaving a piece of space around Sujituo.
"Phew! Coward! He foamed at the mouth, looked up, and found that his people had been encircled, separated by a foot soldier named Zhongyuan, and greeted by spears and knives.
The formation of the Central Plains people and the chaos of the Xianbei people were intertwined, which allowed Wu Ding to cut off the connection between the Xianbei cavalry, and even through a short period of contact, the Xianbei people did not have time to let the horses run under their crotches.
The martial bravery of the Xianbei people allowed them to resist the attacks of many people, but their two fists were invincible to their four hands, and in the screams, the Xianbei people fell from their horses, and blood flowed from their chests and necks, mixed with the dirt.
On the city wall, Wu Guangshu and others looked at the scene below and were stunned.
"This ...... Where did this come from? Could it be that Wang Quan's people have arrived? ”
