Chapter 176: Liu Qiu's regretful debut

Tentative offense? was immediately vetoed by Liu Qiu, if there are fewer people, it will be sent to death, and if there are more people, it will not be called temptation. What's more, the soldiers have morale, the army has military elephants, just by looking at their military momentum, you can know that the other party is not easy to match.

After taking a closer look at the formation of the Yijun Army, Liu Qiu ordered: "Da Xiling, you take a thousand horsemen to ride around the formation and shoot at it to see the opponent's defensive ability." At this time, Liu Qiu took the lead in sounding the Xia Army's soldiers' good skills, running and riding and shooting.

Seeing that Liu Qiu did not attack rashly, Lu Yi also thought in his heart, the Hun barbarians on the opposite side are not ordinary reckless people. He hoped that the other party would attack directly, and then he would be able to make the other party feel the strong malice of his koji righteousness.

"Archer, prepare to release your arrows!" Staring at the Xia cavalry in front of him, seeing that Da Xiling led the army to move, Lu Yi immediately gave an order and waited steadily for the enemy to attack.

The soldiers of the Xia army had estimated the range of their bows and arrows, and when they approached the distance of about fifty zhang of the Yi army, Da Xiling led the army to turn around. At the same time, the soldiers stepped on the stirrups, raised their bows, and fired them.

Koji Yi stood on top of the chariot and was about to give the order to release the arrow, but when he saw Xia Cai's movements, he was startled and hurriedly ordered: "Raise the shield and defend!" ”

The soldiers of Yuan who were in the middle of the military formation could not see the situation outside the formation, and with the sound of breaking the air one after another, they were not mentally prepared at all, and many people were shot down, and Fang raised his shield to resist under the command of Liyi.

After that, Da Xiling led a thousand horsemen and shot around the formation, and the bows and arrows poured wave after wave towards the formation of the Koji rebels. In the Yuan army's array, the soldiers had to hide under the shields to bear the bows and arrows of the Xia army, and the casualties were fewer, but not everyone had a shield to lean on, and there was always bad luck, and from time to time there were sergeants who were hit by arrows.

Koji Yi was not a passive beater, staring at the more than 1,000 Xia Cavalry who were running outside unscrupulously, and ordered loudly: "All archers listen to the order, follow the direction of my flag, and listen to my command to release arrows!" The rest of the soldiers, hold my foot! ”

After saying that, he paid attention to the sergeant of the Xia Army who was galloping outside the formation, and the order flag in his hand was transferred accordingly, silently estimating in his heart, and roared violently: "Release!" ”

"Whoosh" shot hundreds of arrows from the formation, although the leader of Da Xiling was in high-speed movement, but he didn't notice it for a while, and he was also shot down by the prominent bow and arrow, and more than ten people were injured. Although the results of the battle were not large, it also slightly suppressed Xia Qi's arrogance.

Da Xiling led the people to shoot ten waves of arrows, nearly 10,000 sharp arrows, few results, Yuan army only suffered less than 200 casualties, and as he slowly got used to the arrows flying from outside the army, the formation showed no signs of loosening. On the contrary, under the command of Liyi, hundreds of arrows came out of it from time to time to shoot back, injuring many people, which made the Xia soldiers quite jealous.

Liu Qiu observed the situation outside, his expression was slightly gloomy, knowing that this method would not work, and ordered the soldiers around him: "Blow the trumpet and let Da Xiling lead the army back."

With the sound of the dull horn, Da Xiling led the army back to Liu Qiu's side with an ugly face, and scolded in his mouth: "This group of Yuan Jun is really like a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”

"Withdraw!" Liu Qiu said coldly.

"What?" Da Xiling was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”

"It's useless to attack again! Remove! After saying that, he turned his horse and led the army to withdraw. Da Xiling was helpless and followed in the northeast direction.

On the side of the Koji Yi Army, the military formation was still maintained, and his subordinate military Sima said to Koji Yi, who still had a cold face: "Captain, the enemy has withdrawn!" ”

Staring at the Xia army in the distance, until the last cavalry disappeared into the dust, until the dust and smoke cleared.

"Captain?"

"Shut up!" Ko Yi said fiercely: "Command the soldiers, don't slacken, keep the military formation for me!" ”

His subordinates were a little confused, but due to the prestige of Koji Yi, they still stayed honestly and had time to treat the wounded soldiers. And Koji Yoshiki was still standing firmly on the chariot, his eyelids drooping slightly, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.

After more than half an hour, there was another noise from the northeast, and the horses' hooves neighed. Liu Qiu led the army to go and return, and when he got closer, he saw the same Koji Yi army formation as before, and even the position had not changed. His face was obviously moved, and the Han general on the opposite side was so powerful.

couldn't help but shout loudly and asked: "On the other side of the Han army, who is the commander of the army?" ”

Koji Yi was in the array, listening to the sound of inquiry floating from afar, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and responded: "Under the command of the general of the Han chariot cavalry, the captain Koji Yi!" ”

Then he observed Xia Jiang in the distance and responded. Unexpectedly, Liu Qiu didn't talk anymore, and directly turned around and ordered: "The whole army is staring here, who can cut whom!" ”

Afterwards, Liu Qiu stayed in place with the Xia army knights, staring at the Yuan army's military array. He didn't attack either, just watched Koji's side from a distance. At first, it was fashionable, but after a long time, the soldiers of Yuan Jun all had a feeling of being targeted by poisonous snakes, and they did not dare to relax.

Lu Yi was the same, he quickly understood what Liu Qiu meant, his expression became solemn again, and he thought hard about how to break the situation.

The Xia army did not attack, the Yuan army defended empty, and the two armies were in a stalemate on the field. From the afternoon to the evening, looking at the sunset in the west, Liu Qiu chewed dry food and drank a sip of water, his legs were a little numb, but his expression was still calm.

"Prince Qiu, when are we going to wait, either to attack or to retreat, what's the use of wasting here? The soldiers are tired! Da Xiling was a little impatient.

Liu Qiu glanced at him coldly, Da Xiling's heart trembled, and he swallowed the remaining words in his throat.

On the side of the Koji Rebellion, it has been several hours since the two armies first met, and the soldiers are all exhausted. Fortunately, the Koji rebel army brought some fried dry food, otherwise it would be dangerous to face the cunning Xia army hungry.

"Captain, if you don't rest first, you've been standing for a day!" The soldier handed over a bag of water and persuaded him.

The guards took turns to rest, but it was Ko Yi, who had been on the chariot, always paying attention to Liu Qiu's movements.

"The Hun generals on the opposite side are not easy to deal with!" Koji took a sip of the water bag and shook his head at the soldiers.

Then he continued to star, as the main general, he really didn't dare to relax in the slightest. At this point in the confrontation, it is already time to compete the willpower of the generals and soldiers on both sides.

Until the sky completely darkened, some torches and bonfires had been raised in the Yuan army's array, and under the leadership of Lu Yi, it seemed that he was still not panicking at all.

The Xia army was different, the soldiers began to complain, and they would rather rush forward to fight the enemy than wither. During the day, Liu Qiu was still suppressed, and in this night, he still wanted to continue to stay up with a torch.

immediately aroused dissatisfaction from top to bottom, after all, he Liu Qiuchu commanded the army, except for the identity of a prince, he had no prestige. Seeing the "complaints" of the surrounding soldiers, Liu Qiu's face was ugly, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, the soldiers had no heart to fight, and he had no choice but to order: "Withdraw!" ”

Before retreating, Liu Qiu glanced deeply at Yuan Jun's side, and the formation was still tight and did not waver. The still straight figure on the chariot in the center of the formation was imprinted in his heart.

It's a pity, if you can persevere, the one who wins must be him. Liu Qiu couldn't help but clench his fists, waved his horsewhip and whipped it hard, and led people north.

On the side of Koyi Yi, seeing that Xia Jun couldn't hold on to retreating, he sat down directly. This time he was very decisive, patting his frozen legs and ordering: "Herald soldiers, according to this formation, slowly retreat to the south." Let's go to Qi County! ”

Over there in Jinyang, I really can't go!
