Chapter 168
"The spies came to report that there was an enemy army lurking in the south and coming at night, and I expected that the person who came must be Lu Bu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info". Yuan Shu suddenly became arrogant, drew his sword and swung it. The case in front of him was interrupted into two, "Yuan Shu has been the emperor for more than three years, although he is ashamed of the world, but he firmly believes that he is stronger than Lu Bu's horseman." The sword was retracted, the palm of his hand stroked the sword body, and said with a smile: "Tonight is destined to be a good day, either I am defeated and killed, or I will become the lord and be the emperor for a few more years." ā
"Your Majesty will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu." Everyone present was a loyal person, and of course they would not sweep away Yuan Shu's prosperity.
"Ji Ling."
"The end will be." Ji Ling got up and walked to the tent, bowed and said.
"Command you to be the governor of the camp with full authority, and whoever refuses to obey or flees from the battle will be killed."
"No." Ji Ling turned around and went down to prepare.
"It's been hard for you two these days, when you set up a good position, I want to go up to the front to watch the battle, and you will wait for the attendants to take care of the left and right." For these two hard-working confidants, Yuan Shu is considerate.
These days, in order to save food as much as possible, but they are not hungry, they have put a lot of effort into it, so Yuan Shu's current situation is not as bad as Lu Bu thought.
The two people sitting in the upper and lower rows looked at each other and bowed in unison, "This is within my part." After being polite, Yan Xiang said: "What did Your Majesty want to fight against Lu Bu with the strength of a battalion? ā
Yuan Shu kicked it away, broke the case, and said with a smile: "The words of the master book, I understand, this is the moment of life and death, and you should be more careful." After finishing speaking, he called loudly: "Someone is coming." ā
"Your Majesty." The guards bowed.
"Send someone to order, Zhang and Liu, two generals, each allocate 10,000 troops and horses, to come and wait for the dispatch."
"No." The guard turned and left.
"Hahaha..." Yuan Shu suddenly howled and laughed, which lasted for a long time, and the two people under the tent looked at each other, not knowing why.
Touching the slight tears in the corners of his eyes, Yuan Shu still had the urge to laugh, "In my opinion, Lu Bu must have a large team of men and horses to attack Xu County, but at most there are only thousands, and our army has nearly 20,000 troops in the southern camp, plus Zhang."
There are 40,000 people and horses, and Lu Bu is nothing more than a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, but I certainly laugh at the meat. After calming down, he smiled and said: "At the latest, the day after tomorrow, I will be able to hug Diao Chan, the best in the world, and have fun in Lu Bu's mansion." ā
"Your Majesty is wise." The two smiled bitterly, this is not yet a victory, so they stared at other people's wives and concubines.
"Newspaper. Your Majesty, a force of cavalry has reached a mile outside the main camp. Another guard came in to report.
"Let's go, let's go and see." After speaking, Yuan Shu strode out of the account, and the two behind him followed.
In front of the South Camp Gate, Ji Ling with thousands of people was waiting for the prey to take the bait, in order to deal with the effective measurement of the cavalry Central Plains cavalry, the spearmen were in front, and the most vulnerable archers were in the back, and the north gate was led by a partial general, with thousands of people.
"The spear is standing diagonally ahead." Ji Ling had already faintly heard the sound of dense horses' hooves, and shouted loudly for the soldiers to raise their spears and wait for the cavalry to charge.
ā
As the cavalry approached, the ground trembled and shook violently, but they did not want to charge in the middle, only the sky roared, accompanied by a rain of arrows, and the unprepared spearmen fell hundreds of people at once, and some of the undead also fell to the ground and rolled, wailing.
"Archers prepare." Hundreds of people died as soon as they came up, and Yuan Shu was watching from behind, Ji Ling's heart was on fire, and it was time for us to release the arrows next.
But what happened next was beyond Ji Ling's imagination, and he vaguely saw that this cavalry turned around in such a high-speed charge, and headed towards the right side of the camp in a diagonal line, followed by a rain of arrows.
In the face of arrows that seemed to be raining, the soldiers desperately dodged, and the formation was suddenly chaotic.
"Shoot the arrows, hurry up and release the arrows." Ji Ling was angry, why didn't he release the arrow.
"Then you have to be able to see it, this black light is blind, and I don't even know how far away." Most archers thought so in their hearts, but Ji Ling's words couldn't help but listen, so they had to shoot in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, but they didn't know if they had hit.
Xuzhou was originally a plain, which was conducive to cavalry charges, and Cao Xing gave full play to the mobility of war horses and moved quickly through the night.
But Ji Ling and the others are just the opposite, they don't care about standing still, the pot fire placed around them for lighting, under the hot irradiation, it is simply a live target, Cao Xing, they can shoot as much as they want.
Until Cao Xing and the others finished shooting all the arrows in their hands, Ji Ling and the others didn't even touch the hair.
"No wonder, no wonder." Yuan Shu, who was surrounded by thousands of soldiers and was sitting at the back of the place watching the battle, muttered to himself in a low voice, although he couldn't see what was happening clearly, but Ji Ling's voice was still very clear.
I laughed at Sun Ce loudly, but I didn't expect that feng shui would take turns, and tonight it was he who tasted it.
"Why didn't the spies report it, Lu Bu's cavalry is so powerful, aren't there still hundreds of shields in the camp, if they were all used, they wouldn't be so embarrassed tonight." Yuan Shu sat on the chair and scolded the spy for being incompetent.
"Your Majesty, this is the running skill of the Huns, and only the Huns who grew up on horseback can master it, but I don't know how Lu Bu's cavalry learned it." Yan Xiang, who was also shocked, saw the power of this cavalry at a glance.
"But Your Majesty, rest assured, this cavalry seems to have stopped galloping, thinking that the arrows it brought have been used up, except for this skill, it should be no different from ordinary cavalry." Yang Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead and comforted Yuan Shu.
But at this time, Zhang Xun and his soldiers had already arrived, leaving the soldiers outside the camp and bringing a few cronies to pay homage to Yuan Shu.
"Thou shalt first line up thy men on the left side and wait for my orders." Although Yuan Shu carefully knocked the two generals over, he always thought that against Lu Bu's small thousands of troops, his nearly 20,000 people would be enough.
"No." Zhang Xun retreated.
"Your Majesty." But it was Liu Xun who brought a few partials to meet Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu sighed "Huh", and wondered: "Why didn't you see General Zhang and them."
"General Zhang has outstanding ability, and the last general is afraid that the western battalion will be lost, so he sent him to stay." In order to hide the untouchable smugness in his eyes, Liu Xun bowed his head down.
Although Yuan Shu felt that something was wrong, he still didn't think much about it, and ordered: "You first line up the soldiers on the right side and wait for my order." "No."
Damn, how come every raid on the camp turns into a positional battle. Lu Bu listened to the neatly arranged soldiers of Yuan under the light of the fire not far away, the two neat phalanxes on the left and right, and the countless heads faintly in the dark, and Lu Bu's scalp was numb when he saw it.
Shaking his head, he squinted his eyes at the group of foot soldiers around him, if they could change to Gao Shun's trapping camp, they might still have some strength.
"Lord, why don't we go around and go to the city? These more than 1,000 people are a little less, but it is of great use to defend the city. Although Cao Xing is fierce, it doesn't mean that he is a fool, and he is even more stupid in the face of enemies dozens of times more than himself.
"How do you go around, your cavalry is fast enough, what should you do with these foot soldiers?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.
"What then?" Seeing that his old nest was in front of him, but he couldn't enter, Cao Xing was really discouraged.
"The cavalry charges, the foot soldiers are behind, kill." Lu Bu Fangtian waved his halberd and shouted, Fight, kill the majesty of Yuan Shu first, and then enter the city to hold on, no matter how bad it is, you can break through with your wife and children, and it is nothing for me to give up the next country.
Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he pointed his spear and shouted loudly: "Ride in the state, scatter in a wild goose formation, and kill." ā
As soon as the word killing came out, all the cavalry immediately dispersed, in the shape of geese, and rushed towards the camp guarded by thousands of people in Ji Ling's headquarters.
"The spearmen are arrayed, the archers are ready." Hearing the dense sound of horses' hooves, Ji Ling shouted loudly and commanded the soldiers.
Ben will also give you a taste of bows and arrows. It's close. Ji Lingxiong's eyes froze, and he opened his throat and shouted, "Let go." ā
Thousands of arrows smashed into the state like dense raindrops, in the dark. The cavalry struggled to discern the voice. In order to dodge the arrows, fortunately they were few and scattered, and the archers of the night were out of sight. The casualties were not significant.
After a while, the state cavalry and the Ji Ling soldiers officially collided in formation, such as the torrent encountering the embankment blocking them, the comparison is only the strength of the strength, either you die or I die.
"Kill." A cavalryman stooped down and cut off the head of a spearman, and then steered his horse nimbly to dodge attacks from all sides.
"Ahh A terrible howl rang out. No matter how powerful he was, the hero could never stand up to the crowd, and after cutting off the third head, he was stabbed into a hole by spears from all sides.
This scene was staged in all corners of the battlefield, and the last remaining elites of these Bingzhou Iron Cavalry were consuming the soldiers of Ji Ling in a one-to-several quantity, forcing the soldiers of Ji Ling's account to keep retreating.
With its strong combat power, it was able to compete with thousands of people with only a few hundred people, and even had a slight advantage.
"The archers stepped back, the spearmen stepped forward. Those who do not listen to orders are killed. Ji Ling loudly threatened the soldiers to step forward, and by the way, he slashed a spearman who was faster than the archers.
Under the power of Ji Lingdi, the spearmen kept moving forward, with a huge numerical advantage. besieged Cao Xing and others.
A low-level general was stabbed to death with a spear, and Cao Xing shouted: "Surround the general." Hearing this, dozens of horsemen around him quickly moved towards Cao Xing*.
The spear stabbed straight into the ground. Picking up the four-stone big bow that was held behind the horse, he pulled out a specially made wolf's tooth arrow in the remaining place, squinted one eye, and aimed at Ji Ling.
A trace of cold taste crossed the corners of his mouth, and the wolf's tooth arrows sent out by the four-stone big bow were like a blast of wind.
"Huh." Ji Ling keenly discerned a different taste from the sound of fighting, his body instinctively poured a little to the right, and the wolf's tooth arrow hit the left shoulder, and the strange strength made the arrow come out through the bone.
"It hurts me." Ji Ling held his breath and let out a high-pitched voice that was enough to make all modern tenors feel ashamed.
Ji Ling, who was mad, pulled out the wolf tooth arrow with his snow and flesh, still on the ground, and forgot to command the soldiers, holding the big knife in one hand, and rushed in the direction of Cao Xing.
