Chapter 53: Forming a Formation to Defend Against the Enemy
"Listen to the officers and soldiers in the city, the horsemen are outside the city, hurry up and open the door, and then let us attack and burn your newly built fort. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "That monkey was very arrogant in his words, and it seemed that he didn't take himself seriously at all. In other words, perhaps in order to cooperate, Chai Daguang also let everyone come out of the forest, all with torches. It looks like a bright blockbuster, but it is also quite prestigious.
"What kind of horse smoker is so arrogant, I don't believe he can beat a pigtail soldier?" Shi Gang was angry, and turned his head to Xiao Yizhan, "My lord, take us to rush in and kill them." ”
Liu Sheng is also sharpening his knives, "That's right! Let them know that we are not to be messed with. Looking at the indignant people, Xiao Yi did not plan to attack, at this time, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.
Does the enemy really have the numbers in front of them, or is there an ambush somewhere else? His own family background is just this person, and he doesn't want to kill a single person if he exchanges one for a horse thief, and he is absolutely unwilling to attack rashly if he is not absolutely sure. So he opened his mouth, "Huang Yang, you go to the West Gate and look at the ten people guarding the West Gate." Everyone, don't rush out of the city without my orders! In the end, the words were becoming harsh.
Everyone was a little helpless when they heard Xiao Yi's decision, but no one dared to disobey it, and they all looked angrily at the horse thieves who were showing off their might in the city.
The monkey looked at the unmoved officers and soldiers on the city wall and muttered, and said to Chai Daguang, "Draw the horse, what should I do, the idea is pricked, it seems that we are going to be empty-handed tonight?" ”
Chai Daguang's eyes flickered, "Damn, when I, Chai Daguang, haven't gone back empty-handed, I don't believe that these officers and soldiers are not afraid at all?" ”
The monkey's eyes flashed, "Why don't we feign retreat and lure them out?" ”
Chai Daguang patted the horse's back, "Yes, pretending to encounter other officers and soldiers in the distance." Then he took a group of horse thieves to an open space, removed the torches, and Chai Daguang said to the horse thieves, "Come brothers, shout louder and don't let those officers and soldiers see the flaws." Tonight's success or failure is up to you, brothers. ”
On the city wall, Xiao Yi held the Qi family's knife tightly in one hand, but it was not unsheathed, and no one dared to move without Xiao Yi's order, and Xiao Yi did not believe that the horse thieves dared to attack the city with the city wall. If the horse thief really has no one in his eyes to such a point, Xiao Yi doesn't mind letting them appreciate how powerful he Xiao Yi is.
Seeing the group of horse thieves slowly retreating, Shi Gang was a little puzzled, and opened his mouth to ask, "These horse thieves actually ran away like this?" Wang Dashan was also puzzled, "This horseman has never returned empty-handed at night, and this time he actually retreated like this?" ”
"Kill!"
Suddenly, there was a fierce shouting in the distance, and it seemed that the horse thief who had just retreated was fighting with someone!
"What's going on? Could it be that someone from Changning Town was ambushed by horse thieves? Wang Dayong patted the city wall and looked at Xiao Yi anxiously. Xiao Yi couldn't make up his mind for a while, this was probably a trap for horse thieves, but if it was really Changning Town or other officers and soldiers who were attacked, he didn't dare to go out to rescue him if he was next to the fort, according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, if he didn't fight the enemy, he would be punished.
Shi Lu looked at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice, "My lord, at this time, it is impossible not to fight. ”
Xiao Yi knew that he couldn't hesitate for a moment at this moment, so he pulled out the Qi family knife, "Leave five people to guard the wall, and the rest of the people will get on the horse and kill the thief with me!" After that, about 30 people were already holding their breath, and as Xiao Yi turned over and got on the horse, galloped to the place where the shouting and killing came from.
At this time, the people had already woken up, and they all climbed the city wall, and there was a lot of discussion. At this time, an old woman said to the five people who were left behind, "Young men, go out and kill the thieves, and we will guard here." "It turned out to be An Keping's old mother.
One of Xiao Yi's subordinates who was in charge of guarding the door hesitated, "This, but the adults let us guard the door." ”
A few old men persuaded, "Although we are older, we can still do this little thing, not to mention our children and grandchildren to help, you can't help here to watch the adults go out to kill thieves." But we can defend the city, and when the horse thieves come we can throw stones down. ”
Those subordinates didn't hesitate, the five of them just turned over and got on their horses, but they saw Huang Yang coming from afar with more than ten horsemen, and as soon as the two sides discussed, they went out of the city to chase Xiao Yi.
At this time, Xiao Yi led more than 30 horsemen to the place where the shouting of killing was heard, but he did not see the scene of the fierce battle. Xiao Yi suddenly felt bad, and immediately yelled, "Formation!" More than thirty people immediately formed a circle formation against the horse thieves in Dafang Mountain, drew their spears, and waited for the battle.
In the woods, the monkey said excitedly, "Draw the horse, those officers and soldiers have taken the bait, let's go!" ”
Chai Daguang pulled out his waist knife, "Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers!" ”
"Kill the officers and soldiers!"
As soon as Xiao Yi and the others formed a circle, they heard the sound of horses' hooves around them, followed by horse thieves rushing out from all directions in the woods with torches and waist knives, and I don't know how many people there were at night.
The horse thieves roared and attacked Xiao Yi's round formation, but they encountered the same problem as the Dafangshan Horse Gang. That is Xiao Yi's round formation, everyone is compact, and the horse thieves rushing over are like hitting a hedgehog, and they have no way to start.
In addition, the tactics that the horse thieves were accustomed to were to surround and go up, the advantage of numbers was gone, and the pressure was greatly reduced when assigned to each side.
"Kill the officers and soldiers!" A horse thief rushed over with red eyes, just wanting to kill all the officers and soldiers as soon as possible so that he could go into the city to loot, and go home to honor his mother-in-law and children. Rushing closer, but he didn't want to, he was faced with three officers and soldiers who were tightly together, and those officers and soldiers were different from the officers and soldiers he had seen before, and there was no panic.
He habitually slashed with a knife, but was blocked by the officer and soldier in front of him with a gun, and was about to return the knife and split again, but suddenly a spear came out from his side, and it was an officer and soldier on the right who took advantage of his unpreparedness to stab him off his horse. The last thing the horse thief thinks of is his mother-in-law and children in his family, what should they do if they die, they really shouldn't be horse thieves. But he would never be able to go home and see them again.
Because the horse thief behind him had already rushed up on his corpse, repeating his mistake. Because Xiao Yi and the others stood tightly and were organized in small teams, it also led to the fact that every horse thief who rushed up was almost facing two or even three officers and soldiers, how could they compare with Xiao Yi's wolf-like subordinates, almost all of them were beaten to death.
Chai Daguang looked anxiously from behind, and with a yell, he rushed towards Xiao Yi, "Damn." Xiao Yizao saw Chai Daguang who rushed over, blocking a knife from a horse thief, and the Qi family's knife slid down the horse thief's waist knife, and the horse thief couldn't react at all.
Xiao Yi's knife is actually the back of the edge! was cut off the horse by Xiao Yi with a knife, and he couldn't get up again. Chai Daguang saw this scene and rushed over to fight with Xiao Yizhan, and it was a slap on the head. Xiao Yi raised the Qi family knife, and the sound of "bell" could only be heard by Xiao Yi and the others.
Xiao Yi felt a shock in his hand, it was not unusual for this horse thief to be so powerful, his eyes were full of killing intent, this horse smoker must be killed.
