Up and down the mountain, two well-defined worlds have been formed at this moment. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info bright on the mountain, and the torches are everywhere, like stars. The bottom of the mountain is dark and black, like Chen Yuan's sea. Countless shouts of killing sounded noisily on the mountain, and the amazing momentum seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, making it impossible to tell how many people were on the mountain. The silence under the mountain is like a giant standing up to the sky, silently making people feel the power hidden in the depths.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle." Shi Yi, who led this party under the banner of his brother's handsome flag, looked at the situation under the mountain where there was no movement, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had originally planned to ambush the other party in this valley that he had to pass through on his way to Anguang City. However, things didn't go so smoothly from the start. First, Huang Zhong's caution made their early arrival a boring wait to dance with mosquitoes, and then it rained heavily, which made them drenched for a day. If Huang Zhong honestly walked into this valley and honestly set up camp normally, then perhaps their hard work and patience would still be useful. However, Huang Zhong's extremely cautious attitude and refusal to camp casually, but first sent people to the mountains on both sides to reconnoitre, but his subordinates wondered if the ambush had already been discovered by the other party, and had to be launched first.

The result of the preemptive launch is undoubtedly to turn the original ambush war into the current flank war like the current one. Although the advantage of his side still exists, it is also impossible for the opponent's combat power to be weakened too much because of the time to react.

The fact that the plan was changed like this is really embarrassing. But he was also embarrassed to blame the soldier who had alerted the other party in advance. Because in that case, even he himself had the same idea in his heart as the soldiers that the ambush had been discovered by them—and he could deceive others, but he really couldn't deceive himself.

"Forget it, let's focus on the enemy in front of you." Although the situation has become a little tricky, Shi Yi still thinks that his side has a big chance of winning. After reconnaissance a few days ago, he already knew that Huang Zhong on the other side had brought here 10,000 of the 15,000 horses, although they were very elite and good at mountain warfare, but they were far behind the 15,000 on his side in terms of numbers, and now his own side still occupied the share of leisure and work.

"The rain fell on my head as well as on theirs, and at this point our consumption was equal to theirs. But they came in the pouring rain, and we, though it rained, waited where we were. We are far superior to them in this regard. Add to that the fact that our centaurs are already well fed and drunk, and they come here on almost empty stomachs, so we should be far better than them in comparison. Well, we should have won this battle, but it is likely that the losses suffered are a little higher than expected. Shi Yi pondered the various situations between the enemy and me, and finally came to such a conclusion. Therefore, he didn't have anything to say, just watched the standard-bearer around him wave the flag and directly convey the order to attack, so that his soldiers could attack according to the original plan. Although this plan was originally formulated according to the requirements of the ambush, Shi Yi believed that even if he did not make any corrections to this plan, it would still be possible to eat the enemy in front of him.

"Victory must be ours ......!" Shi Yi thought about it, and his eyes suddenly became firm.

"Kill...... Come on! The soldiers on the hillside rushed down the hill with a shout. The sloping mountain made them rush very quickly, and the torches in their hands reflected the sharpness of the weapons in their hands, and the bright silver added a bit of arrogance to them.

Perhaps these scholars wanted to oppress the enemy at the foot of the mountain with the momentum created by the shouts from their mouths. This is indeed a very good idea, but to deal with Huang Zhong under the mountain is to choose the wrong target. When the people on the mountain rushed down, it was still silent below. Silence is the means that Huang Zhong uses to deal with these people, and in his opinion, in his old army, the only thing he can rely on to deal with the current situation is the chaos on his side.

"Shara, give me some spirits to get your soldiers up, and when the arrows have been fired, you will stab me, understand? The rest was left to the last cavalryman. Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Huang Zhong, who already had a battle idea in his heart, was afraid that something would go wrong in his plan, so he had to carefully tell the protagonist of this battle, Sha Lei, the deputy general who commanded the Shanyue soldiers.

At present, all the 10,000 horses in Huang Zhong's army are mainly composed of three parts, the most important of which is the Shanyue infantry, which is about 6,000 people, followed by the archers trained by Huang Zhong himself, about 3,000, and the least is about 900 cavalry temporarily allocated to him by Li Sheng. Huang Zhong's plan was to use bows and arrows to first disrupt the opponent's formation, frustrate the opponent's sharpness, and then use the cavalry assault to break through the opponent's defenses, and finally use the sharp blades of the Shanyue infantry to completely crush the opponent. It's a simple approach, but one that needs to work closely with each other. For these people under his command, the archers were brought out by Huang Zhong himself, and Huang Zhong naturally knew very well how many levels they had, and Chen Xu's cavalry was a part of Li Sheng's guards, and its strength had long been known. Only Shanyue's infantry, Huang Zhong didn't know much about them, and he wanted to use them at this moment, of course, he had to give a good explanation. This is also human nature.

"Yes......" Sha Lei first accepted it with a firm fist, and was a little puzzled at random: "General, is it appropriate to use a knife?" They're not cavalrymen. ”

The lower knife, also known as the rolling knife method, was proposed by Li Sheng to deal with the cavalry. After all, Li Sheng's territory was in the south of the Yangtze River at the moment, and there was no horse production in the local area, and the trade was controlled by Cao Cao, so no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to have too large a cavalry establishment. So Li Sheng called several generals under his account to discuss the creation of such a set of knife techniques for cavalry, called "Lying on the Ground Knife Method", according to the so-called knife technique that can be used to attack the horse's legs mentioned in the novels he had read before. He rolls the swordman to the ground, protects his chest with a shield in his left hand, and sweeps his right hand with a single sword, attacking the enemy's lower plate to cut off the legs of the enemy's cavalry.

Because when learning this set of sword techniques, the instructors told them that it was used against the enemy cavalry. But right now, Huang Zhong wanted them to use this sword technique to deal with the infantry on the opposite side, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Is this successful?" He was skeptical.

"Why not?" Huang Zhong's eyes narrowed, "You just cut their human legs as horses' legs." Although there is a slight difference in thickness, the speed of the other party is far less than that of the galloping horse, so I guess it is not difficult for you. ”

"Hmm...... Well! Sharay nodded, and withdrew without a word. He is a strong person, although he is a little unbearable in his heart that the consequences of doing so will cause a lot of injuries, but since the Lord has decided so, he will naturally not strongly oppose it.

The engagement began. When the Shijia army on the mountain rushed down with overwhelming momentum and entered about twenty zhang in front of Huang Zhongjun, Huang Zhongjun's archers suddenly released bows and arrows that had been waiting for arrows for a while. Listening to the sound of the swishing sound of breaking the sky, two thousand long arrows shot by a thousand people shot out like a heavy rain from the sky, and they shot over the people at the front of the team one by one, so that the elated soldiers couldn't help but pause, and the shouting of killing in their mouths was slowed down.

"How so? Isn't it exactly what you imagined? "The soldiers of the Sergeant Army, who were violently attacked, were as if they had been doused with a basin of ice water from head to toe, and they were cold. Because the main general did not explain, they all thought that the enemy was already in chaos, and they just had to kill them from above generously, fight with the already chaotic enemy, and search for their heads as much as possible, where do you want to get this?

They were stunned, inexplicably for a moment, and the time of a few breaths was considered a very short time, but Huang Zhong obviously refused to let them rest in a very short time, and the arrows continued to fall.

Originally, darkness was not suitable for bow and arrow warfare. However, the situation at this time was slightly different, although there were no lights on Huang Zhong's side, but most of the soldiers who rushed down from the mountain on the opposite side were holding scorching torches, these bright torches not only glorified their own future, but also gave Huang Zhong's archers an eye-catching target. "It's definitely not a fair thing to do." If the men of the Warriors knew that they had been struck by their crossbows because of the torches in their hands, they would have cried out - and indeed they did. They are not fools, and naturally they soon find out that the torch in their hand is one of the main culprits of their own attack.

"Quick, put out the torch in your hand." There were quite a few people in the Shijia Army who reacted quickly. However, they were originally scattered and rushed up, and they didn't prepare their formation at all, so how could they easily convey the order to "extinguish the torch in their hands" directly for a while. And so, chaos ensued. The people in front shouted to put out the torches, and they did the same, but the people behind did not know that they were still rushing forward with their torches. The arrows still fell. The people in front instinctively wanted to extinguish the torches of the people who came after, but the people who came after them didn't know this, and they got entangled with the people in front of them, almost thinking that the people in front were mutiny, so they waved their weapons out of their hands for some reason. For a time, his family and his family fought together, which became the funniest scene on the battlefield.

"What is this for? Civil strife? Or is it just kidding? Huang Zhong's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised: "Why do your own people fight with your own people like this?" "This thing that Ma Zi rarely sees once in a thousand years not only makes Huang Zhong look strange to himself, but even the soldiers under Huang Zhong are a little confused.

"General, are we going to shoot again?" An archer standing beside Huang Zhong asked in a low voice.

"Shoot! Why not? Anyway, it's not our people who fall. Huang Zhong was slightly stunned, and then laughed. He casually took out four long arrows from the bow and quiver on the right side of the warhorse, buckled them like this, put them on the bow, pulled them full, let go, and shot them out like that. The sound of breaking the sky suddenly became louder, but it effortlessly nailed the four soldiers of the Shijia Army who rushed in front of the battle to the ground. "Twenty-fifth......," he smiled, narrowing his eyes, his snow-white beard shaking.

"Shoot!" Huang Zhong's words made the soldiers, who originally wanted to continue watching the excitement for a while, relax their hearts and get busy again. They kept wrenching the bowstring in their hands, and shot two long arrows directly on the bow again and again—one shot at two arrows, which was a relatively advanced shooting method among the foot archers, but under Huang Zhong's account, it was a skill that had to be mastered. How can the elite soldiers brought out by the bow master not be strong? It's impossible to think about it.

There were arrows shot by the enemy in front, and there was civil strife among his own people in the back, and watching all this happen unstoppably from the mountain, Shi Yi's face turned blue with anger. He regretted deeply at the moment: "Why did I bring all those miscellaneous recruits? These people are completely underachieved, and there are more failures. He cursed to himself, completely forgetting that it was actually he who had asked his brother to bring these people out.

At the beginning, in order to allow his brother to attack the city more smoothly, Shi Yi took the initiative to separate the recruit troops composed of private soldiers from various families and the Shi family's own troops, and were responsible for siege and ambush operations respectively, and asked his brother to hand over the private army to himself to lead, and he took them to ambush Huang Zhong: "Compared with the siege, ambushing the enemy is undoubtedly much smoother." Although the major families in Jiaozhou have enough common interests with each other, there are also many differences with each other, and some of them inevitably only consider their own interests. If all goes well in the war, then it is better to say that with your brother, you can only control them completely. But if the war doesn't go well, it's likely to provoke a cascade of bad reactions. Needless to say, they will be separated from us, and they may even sell us to Li Sheng. After all, what they're looking for is a little different from what we're after. Right now, my brother has been delayed under the city for a long time, but the battle situation has not been able to open up for a long time. Although as far as we are concerned, it is still necessary to insist on the siege, but for those people in Jiaozhou, they don't care about this at all. They only care about what Li Sheng and our side can bring them the most. As long as there is interest, they don't even want the lives of people in the family. If you let them continue here, I'm afraid it will cause them to be dissatisfied. This is a very unreasonable thing, but we have to think about it ourselves. So I want to take them away and let them go to ambush and fill the grievances in their hearts with victory. ”

"Feasible?" At that time, Shi Xie still had some doubts in his heart, even though he had been revitalized by his brother's income.

"Feasible!" Shi Yi nodded vigorously, accentuating the tone of his speech.

Seeing that his brother was so sure, Shi Xie, who was the elder brother, had no choice but to agree: "Since that's the case, then so be it." Take care of yourself. Frowning slightly, Shi Xie instructed his brother with concern. Although it is unlikely that there will be any major problems when he ambushes the enemy army, Shi Xie is still careful. He knew that his brother was still leading the army for the first time on his own.

"At first, when I saw my brother frowning, I thought he didn't want me to come out, but in retrospect, it wasn't like that. The reason why my brother frowned was because I saw that I had seen the ambush plan too simple. Maybe he had been worried about this for a long time, and it wouldn't end so simply. Alas, I have spoken to the fullest. Shi Yi thought with annoyance, regretting it for a long time and finally opened his closed eyes: "I still need to solve my own affairs." If I don't find a way to get through the current situation, then I will be disappointed by my brother's trust in me. Although they are all new recruits, there are more than 10,000 people. I still have to keep these horses to some extent. ”

It's a good idea to keep the majority of those 10,000-plus people. But how to protect it? Nearly a third of the army on the mountain had rushed to the bottom of the mountain, and although half of them had fallen under Huang Zhong's demon-like archers, the other half were still alive. The turmoil of civil strife had been dissipated with the blow of Huang Zhong's still-ongoing bow and arrow storm. There is also no way to do it, they can't help but eliminate. Under such an attack, if they continue to be in chaos, they are afraid that they will die--and it is almost the same, most of those who were in front of them have already died under the clouds of bows and arrows of the battlefield, and most of those who are still alive are the newcomers who have seen some of the things that have come to pass. Their morale has been almost exhausted by the miserable situation of those who have preceded them. They became much more cautious, and carefully hiding behind the big rocks in the mountains with their weapons became their most immediate response. The torches had all been extinguished, except for Shi Yi and some of the surrounding him, the mountains and mountains were all pitch black, and the battle situation had finally stabilized a little.

"Although the losses are a little bigger, there is still a stable situation, and now we only need to choose whether to continue to fight or withdraw our troops." Shi Yi pondered. Keep fighting, and you can really get the final victory. After all, even at this point, the chances of victory on your side are still there, but there will undoubtedly be unpredictable losses in that way. For such a loss, he may still be able to bear it, but what about those in the army? Can the commanders of those private soldiers who have watched their soldiers decrease one by one also bear such losses? It's hard to judge. However, looking at the chaotic appearance they had after the battle began to go wrong, Shi Yi really had deep doubts about how much of their will to fight. So just withdraw the troops and regroup? That's a good idea. But is that really the case? Shi Yi was a little unwilling for a while.

He raised his eyes to look at the situation down the mountain, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Although we have suffered such a big loss, the other party seems to be pressing us to fight, but considering the other party's own situation. At the moment, even if they don't have much loss in terms of troops, they should be more tired than before. People have a certain amount of physical strength, as long as this physical strength is exhausted, I am afraid that no matter how strong their will is, they will not be able to stand it. This is their weakness and where we can take advantage of it. After thinking about it, Shi Yi seemed to have an idea in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Move the archers to the front and shoot them. Take back the infantry in front of us, I want to use their physical strength to help me do something. After having an idea in his heart, Shi Yi quickly gave an order. His plan is very simple, that is, to use the "tired enemy's strategy" to take advantage of the opponent's lack of physical strength to strike, so that the opponent's physical strength will drop faster, so that in the end he will completely lose his combat effectiveness. Therefore, he uses archers to shoot at the opponent, so that the opponent's spirit is not relaxed at all. At the same time, use the time gained by the archers to allow the infantry to build simple large weapons, such as improvised catapults. Although these things are made in a hurry, the attack power, attack range, durability, etc. are definitely not as good as regular products, but attacking down according to the high place where Shi Yi is located can still give the other party a strong deterrent. This deterrent is not enough to kill and injure the opponent in large quantities, but it can keep the opponent from stopping for a while-this is enough for Shi Yi.

The soldiers of the Shi family moved quickly. After receiving Shi Yi's order, although some people were happy and some were sad, they all honestly followed Shi Yi's order. Of course, this is not their intention, but at this juncture, as the representative of the Shi family, Shi Yi is the only general they can accept. As the leaders of their respective families' private soldiers, these generals, large and small, naturally have their own calculations in their hearts, but it is precisely because they all have their own goals that they cannot be closely linked together to form a force that can be countered by the scholars. They are scattered, like scattered sand, which is of course a headache for Shi Yi, and on the other hand, their dispersion makes them unable to threaten the Shi family's leadership of them, but it is also a place for Shi Yi to be happy. Of course, at this moment, Shi Yi did not perceive this.

Not seeing it didn't affect the smoothness in Shi Yi's heart, and with his soldiers completely carrying out his orders, the situation ahead seemed to have improved. A large number of archers were brought up, leaning against the remnants of the mountain, and they also lined up in a dense formation to shoot a dense array of arrows in the direction of the enemy in the darkness. Neither side could see each other at the moment, and what they relied on was only a general impression. Free fire is completely impossible to do, and only by relying on such a dense attack can it have a certain striking power. Obviously, this blow is also relative. When both sides have made nearly identical arrangements, the battle between each other has become a life-for-life fight.

Shi Yi's actions like this are obviously not a good way for a famous general to do, but this is a method, but it is enough to make Huang Zhong show a cautious and worried expression for the first time. Huang Zhong knew that the opponent's strength was stronger than his own, but he didn't know how much the other party was stronger than him, and how the configuration of each class of troops was. Although many of these can be known by relying on observation and judgment on the battlefield, it must be when the light is relatively bright and the vision is relatively clear. As for the current situation, Huang Zhong can only guess a little from the size of the other party's arrows breaking through the air, as well as the size of the other party's shouting just now. This is only an approximation, which can only be used as an approximate basis, and cannot be the basis for accurate decision-making. And this is already the limit that Huang Zhong can reach, as for the taxi on the other side, he can't do it at all.

"There are about two to three thousand archers, and possibly even more." When the sound of the collapsing bowstring sounded on the opposite side for the first time, Huang Zhong quickly made a corresponding judgment. He knew that he would suffer heavy losses this time, but he did not let his subordinates make evasive behaviors - "Try to gather and not disperse during the battle, this is the rule of the battle array", Huang Zhong still understands this very well. Of course, he could also hear that the angle of the other party's arrow seemed to be a little off, as if it was slightly lower, and the range should be a little closer, and the coverage of his side was probably not as wide as he thought. But even so, the screams that kept ringing in the ears of the listeners, Huang Zhong's heart was still tight. He looked up at the west, a little urgent and a little reluctant in his heart.

"Chen Xu's guy was alert, and he saw that this situation was wrong, but he didn't rush over immediately. Not bad, not bad. It's just a pity for me soldiers. Huang Zhong said with some contradictions. At this moment, of course, what he hoped for most was the arrival of reinforcements. Although he could have sent the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time, it would be an unwise thing to do. Because the other side is an archer.

The screams arose, and many people fell in the faint darkness. Huang Zhong looked left and right, and saw that about hundreds of archers had been killed by arrows like this, which inevitably caused some loopholes in the originally dense formation. This is something to be made up, Huang Zhong understands this very well, he raised his head and looked at the opponent's military formation again, and couldn't help but be a little shocked at the accuracy of the opponent's arrow. In his opinion, although the opponent's archer hit rate was not as good as the ones he had trained, it was still very accurate, even the Cao army he encountered in the battle with Chibi, they were very strong.

"The more people are good at shooting, it really deserves its reputation." Huang Zhong knew that whether it was in his own army or the opponent's army, the Vietnamese always accounted for a large proportion. "They are the best foot archers and mountain infantry." Huang Zhong remembered that his father-in-law Li Sheng commented on Yue Ren.

The cross-fire is still ongoing. In the exchange of arrows from each other, a miserable cry sounded in the military formations of both sides. Bloodshed is produced at the same time between the two sides. Although the current situation has not yet reached the point of exchanging a life for a life, it is almost the same.

Listening to the constant shouts and moans of the soldiers in his ears, Huang Zhong's brows furrowed tightly. He pondered the question: "How do we break the current impasse?" ”

Today's battle situation is in a state of stalemate amid mutual attacks. This state is something Huang Zhong never wants to see. Although he was not a man who was afraid of things, he was unwilling to let him exchange the lives of his soldiers for the lives of his soldiers to achieve victory. What's more, he also thought of one point: "Since the enemy appears here, it means that they have revealed their attack on Anguang." Even if he wins here and defeats the guy in front of him, he can't take An Guangcheng smoothly. Unless the opposing general is a fool, an adventurer, a fanatical gambler, who spends all his forces on ambushing himself, ...... is not impossible, but it is very small. Huang Zhong didn't think that would happen.

"It seems that the only way to withdraw like this is the safest way." Huang Zhong thought so. The word "withdraw" appeared in his heart, which made him feel a little irritable. Once he had the idea of retreating, he felt that there was no need for the current battle situation to continue, and the only way to leave was to leave.

Of course, leaving is not an immediate departure. That's the behavior of fools. For Huang Zhong, doing so is undoubtedly self-defeating. He wouldn't be like that.

"Give the other party a more violent blow and make the other person withdraw his hand. Then he took advantage of the other party's withdrawal when he withdrew his hand. "This is the real way to withdraw troops," Huang Zhong smiled slightly, and then summoned Sha Lei, who had been resting on the side for a long time, and ordered in his ear.

After that, the bows and arrows on Huang Zhongjun's side shot more intensively, and they went straight to the sea, and the * general that they encountered from time to time was terrifying to watch.
