Chapter 85: Shouchun Strategy Battle II
At the head of the city, the experienced soldiers had already hidden under the shields or under the battlements. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info those recruits who have just joined the army have never heard of the ferocity of the Xuzhou Army's iron cavalry. One by one, they stood at the head of the city and shouted, or they were overwhelmed. A few soldiers even despised the archers, unbuttoned their pants, and urinated outside the city. "Wow~~" "Hahaha, it's so comfortable! ”
The veterans, who had already hidden their bodies, watched all this with indifferent expressions. No one stopped it, and no one spoke up. There are some experiences that you may be able to learn by hitting a wall. But there are some things that come at a cost. Especially on the battlefield, without blood and tears, soldiers cannot really grow. The callousness and ruthlessness of war will never be known.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk,,,"
A powerful rain of arrows poured down from the sky, and the eggs of the recruits fell like straws from the harvest. And the new soldier's egg, who was spreading merrily, was sad, and a sharp arrow passed through the two eggs under his crotch as if with divine help. A piercing neuralgia travels from the bottom up to the heart. The recruit's knees weakened and he knelt down all at once. Hurriedly glanced under the crotch, blood mixed with unknown objects surging wildly, the words on the arrow had already been pulled down, and the rubber strip seemed to be on the soft bag, which was miserable. "Uh, ah, oh~~~"
The recruits rolled and screamed in pain.
"Alas! My hand, quick, help me pull it out. ”
The other recruit, clutching his right hand tightly with his left hand, his not strong arm, with an unarmoured arrow stuck under his shoulder, red blood spurting from the piercing, soaking his fingers and spilling downward. The recruit's face was blue, and he was begging for help to pull it out.
One of the recruits close to him couldn't bear it, and reached over to help him pinch his blood vessels. Unexpectedly, a long arrow was head-on, and with a "boom", it was piercing his forehead. "Uh-huh......" The young life didn't have time to moan twice before it choked and collapsed in a pool of blood. Under the light of the torches, those wide-eyed and frightened eyes were really terrifying.
Two steps away, a soldier saw this, turned his face sharply, and could not bear to look directly. "Oh, my eyes? What's wrong with my eyes, my right eye can't see. Wow~~~" I saw him pinching his right eye with his hand, and a sharp arrow on his right eye was trembling slightly. Red blood poured out from between his fingers. While wailing, he tried to pull out the arrow with his hand, but he repeatedly did not dare to use force.
The tragic scene continued to be staged, and the two recruits in the southeast corner were even more sad, and they were directly shot through the heads by sharp arrows rushing down from the night sky, and the two arrows shot at different angles, but the effect was amazingly consistent. Sharp arrows enter through the door of the head and exit from the back of the head. The exposed tip of the arrow has a mixture of red and white, and there is a trace of blood band, and the red blood gushing out from the hole in the back of the head, which is not miserable. "Bang, bang," fell from the city without screaming, how short life was.
The screams continued one after another.
Recruits are often cannon fodder on the battlefield. This was especially true in ancient times, when resources were scarce. They usually don't have any decent clothing, let alone iron armor and shields. Most of the recruits were killed and wounded under the rain of arrows drawn twice in a row by the Xuzhou Iron Cavalry, and most of the recruits lost their combat effectiveness under the baptism of arrow rain, and they couldn't survive.
Only a few, very few, people under the threat of high pressure and death learn to protect themselves.
Under the city, after two rounds of arrows, Chen Zhi put a canopy in his hand and looked at the city above, but he didn't see the enemy resisting, and couldn't help grinning.
"Come again!"
More than 2,000 knights had already set up a crescent-like procession, and after hearing the order, they galloped at speed. Like a dormant beast, it opens its bloody mouth again.
"Hey, hey~~~" After the wolf howled, two thousand arrows swept up the city again, turning into life-threatening raindrops and raining down.
At the head of the city, looking up at the rain falling from the sky, the remaining recruits shivered excitedly, and quickly found a place to hide, and the soldiers who had not died at the head of the city were trampled into jade oars, and were even pulled up as meat shields by a few shrewd recruits.
Reality is always so cold and unforgiving. Under the baptism of blood and tears, the recruits finally grew into veterans.
There are only two outcomes on the battlefield, kill or be killed. Only cold-blooded and ruthless, I have never heard of a compassionate person who can talk on the battlefield.
After the third discussion of arrows, after hearing the miserable howl that did not increase much, Chen Zhixuan waved his hand to the south. "Withdraw!"
The veterans, who had first hid under the battlements or shields, listened to the walls for a while, then quickly stood up and looked out. Seeing the Xuzhou Iron Cavalry retreating, they roared sharply, or collided with each other with their ordnance, looking like crazy. A few guards returned arrows with bows. Xuzhou Iron Cavalry came and went like the wind, and soon disappeared into the distant wilderness.
"Huh~~~"
Three miles away from Dongcheng, Chen Zhi, who was running, suddenly stopped his horse and raised his left hand.
Seeing this, the soldiers in the front of the cavalry team behind him stopped their mounts one after another, and lowered their heads to Chen Zhi to star. Immediately after that, like a bone effect, he controlled the running war horse at all times, and stopped in a uniform manner. More than 2,000 iron horsemen, so urgently stopped, did not cause a single riot. It can be seen that Chen Zhi usually trains the team a lot, and it has reached the point where he is like a finger.
"Chen Cheng!"
"Here!"
"I will leave you a hundred horsemen, and you will have fifty horsemen attack the eastern city every half an hour, and fifty horsemen will run back and forth on the slopes of the hill after that, and run back and forth as an ambush! This matter is extremely thrilling, dare to deal with it! ”
"If you fail, come and see you!" A spirit of not admitting defeat rose from the bottom of Chen Cheng's heart.
"Good!" Chen Zhi glanced at Chen Cheng affectionately, and resolutely turned around, "The rest of the soldiers follow me!" ”
