Chapter 384: Liu Zi's Great Banner
Han Yi shouted, "Not good! Then he lifted the ink knife and rushed towards the direction that Ming Di was aiming for.
For Han Yi's move, the soldiers were even more puzzled, they had just estimated that the place where Ming Di shot was an empty place, and no one would be injured because of it, why was Captain Han so panicked?
Just when the soldiers were puzzled, they found that Mr. Tianji, like Captain Han, suddenly accelerated and rushed in the direction where Ming Di was shooting.
Under the surprised gazes of the soldiers, the two of them rushed to the same place at the same time.
It was a flagpole, and at the top of the flagpole was the flag fluttering in the wind, the big flag with the character Liu representing the dignity of the whole army.
The two arrived under the flagpole almost at the same time, Liu He, who arrived first, arched his horse and crossed his hands in front of him, and Han Yi, who arrived later, jumped up directly without the slightest hesitation and stepped on Liu He's hands.
Liu He lifted up forcefully, and sent Han Yi into the air.
Han Yi's leap was obviously still a long distance from the top of the flagpole, and he was in mid-air, brandishing the ink knife in his hand and throwing it out in one fell swoop.
Chengdu Wei, who was watching, was stunned, as early as when the ghost was worried, there was an iron law in the army that was still known as the Han family army at that time.
The knife is there, and the people are there.
The ink knife in his hand is bigger than his own life, unless he dies on the battlefield, the ink knife in his hand must not be easily left in his hand.
And Han Yi's martial arts, those Chengdu Wei who have been fighting with him for many years have seen it countless times, no matter how dangerous the situation is, they have never seen Han Yi use this kind of kung fu to throw an ink knife.
However, it was Han Yi who obviously tried his best, but in the end it came to nothing.
The banner of Liu Zi was pierced by the Ming Di on the spot, and the place where the Ming Di shot through became bigger and bigger under the tearing of the wind, and finally it was torn apart, like a few strips of rags, swaying in the wind.
Looking at Liu Ziqi, who was shot like this, Liu He was furious, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
People who have never been in the army will not understand Liu He's anger, let alone what the flag represents.
On the battlefield, the generals led by the two sides only had a moment of scenery before the battle, and after the real battle, when the two sides fought fiercely, the soldiers were most concerned not about their own generals, but about the big banner behind them.
Fighting is not child's play, and the battlefield has never been a frolicking place where you hit me and I beat you, and when the soldiers on both sides are mixed together, the chaotic scene is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, it is simply wishful thinking that the generals want to give orders on the battlefield, and the meaning of the existence of the so-called drumming cheers and singing gold to collect troops is just a fabrication of people who have never experienced the battlefield, and the only thing that can really determine the advance and retreat of the soldiers on the battlefield is the flag erected high.
As long as the banner is still there, it means that the momentum of the side is still there, and the soldiers will fight bravely.
Obviously, Xiahou Yuan did this to severely demoralize Liu Beijun, so as to gain a slight advantage in this battle that was destined to be life-and-death.
Han Yi picked up the ink knife on the ground, walked to Liu He's side, and said softly: "Boss, Xiahou Yuan will definitely use this momentum to launch a round of fierce attacks, we still need to plan early." ”
Of course, Liu He knew what Han Yi said, but he couldn't decide on the next strategy for a while.
The amazing archery skills shown by Xiahou Yuan just now have been seen by everyone, although even if Xiahou Yuan has a unique skill, he can only shoot one person at a time, but this kind of long-distance attack that catches people off guard has already put everyone in danger in his entire army.
Imagine a soldier with an uneasy mood, not only to guard against the enemy's attack in front of him, but also to watch out for sharp arrows that will suddenly appear at any time, if this situation of almost collapse persists, then it will not be long before the morale of the whole army will fall to the bottom, and it may collapse at any time.
Liu He didn't think about letting several people from the Tianji Battalion go out at the same time to prevent Xiahou Yuan's cold arrow from succeeding again, but under the current situation, he was really not allowed to do so.
Liu He's original tactic was for the archers in the rear to shoot at the Cao army rushing over in the valley, and for the Cao army that rushed out of the valley, Chengdu Wei carried out a burst of killing.
It is obviously unrealistic to arrange a few people from the Tianji Battalion in front of Chengdu Wei, although this protects Chengdu Wei, but those brothers of the Tianji Battalion have to face the iron cavalry of the Shensu Battalion while guarding against Xiahou Yuan's cold arrows.
But if a few people from the Tianji Battalion were arranged behind the Chengdu Guards, although those archers would have no worries, those Chengdu Guards in front would be completely exposed to Xiahou Yuan's range.
After all, compared with the newly surrendered Ma Chao's pro-military battalion, Chengdu Wei's combat power has always been slightly higher, if this army, which represents Liu Beijun's highest combat power, is all sacrificed here, Liu He's heart is really a little unwilling, not to mention that since the beginning of the ghost fight, he has always regarded these heavy-armored iron cavalry as his own personal soldiers, at this crisis juncture, it is difficult not to think more about their life and death.
Just when Liu He hesitated, Ma Chao came over, turned over and dismounted, and said in a deep voice: "Sir can let those brothers in the Tianji Battalion protect the archers in the rear, and I, Ma Dai and Pang De, will assist Captain Han in the front." ”
Liu He glanced at Han Yi quietly, and seeing that Han Yi nodded slightly, Liu He turned to Ma Chao and said, "Okay, with General Ma here, I will rest assured, and I will entrust the lives of those Chengdu guards to the four of you." ”
After that, Liu He hugged his fists at Ma Dai and Pang De, who arrived later, and then walked back to the camp of the Tianji Camp and began the next step of arrangement.
At this time, among the twelve horsemen of Tianji, Han Yi had to defend against the enemy at the front, Pang Tong and Zhong Lixun were in charge of commanding in the rear, and Mo Li was still unable to escape from the wounded barracks.
Liu He asked the remaining eight people to all be dispatched in this battle, and arranged them in front of those archers, responsible for resisting Xiahou Yuan's hidden arrows, and at the same time, they could also block the fish that slipped through the net of the Shensu Battalion.
After arranging all this, under the command of Han Yi, Chengdu Wei quickly lined up his position and waited for the enemy's Shensu battalion to launch an offensive at any time in front of the valley.
The situation was as Han Yi had predicted, and the Divine Speed Battalion, under Xiahou Yuan's orders, quickly assembled at the valley mouth on the opposite side and began the first round of charge.
