038 Rabble

More than 600 people condescendingly lined up in a circle, and under the dirt slope, tens of thousands of thieves occupied the surrounding area for several miles! Li Damu was triumphant and began to command the army to attack!

Under the shouting of the Ma army and the old battalion, nearly 2,000 hungry homeless young people were gathered, and a foot army formation of nearly 1,000 people was lined up behind them, and an attack array of 3,000 people was lined up in one attack, which shows the determination of the Black Mountain thieves to eat this official army.

The homeless people, dressed in dirty and shabby clothes, without a piece of armor to cover their bodies, and holding spears and sticks in their hands, had been running all the way out of more than forty miles since they got up early in the morning, and they were tired and hungry all the way, and before they could rest for a while, they were supervised by the thieves to assemble their ranks and prepare to attack.

Attacking the officers and soldiers, these Montenegrin thieves who were still the people not long ago were reluctant in their hearts, but when they thought of the nearly a thousand Montenegrin soldiers behind them who were staring at them viciously with steel knives and spears, they could only reluctantly gather together.

Perhaps, only the smoke that ignited after the battle could arouse their interest.

Zhang Jaw also let the soldiers take turns to eat some dry food to rest, while arranging defenses. This soil slope is not high, but more than ten meters, the top is a flat land with a radius of no more than fifty or sixty meters, there is no danger to defend at all, fortunately there is a steep slope on this hillside, which can be protected from being attacked by black mountain thieves from all sides.

Zhang Jaw divided the three hundred spearmen into two rows, the first line was on guard, and the remaining platoon seized the time to rest, there was at least nearly two hundred meters of defense on the dirt slope, and Zhang Jaw had no way to consider the thickness of the defense.

Behind the two rows of spearmen were no more than a hundred sword and shield men, who would help the spearmen fend off the arrows of the opposing side, and behind them, three hundred archers would form the main force of the thieves.

More than 600 giant deer soldiers were also nervous at the moment, although they had the fighting spirit to resist the Black Mountain bandits, but in the face of twenty times their own enemies, no one could be at ease.

The Xuanfu officials nervously made the final mobilization, and it was they who gave the greatest confidence to this army, and Zhang Jaw kept looking around, anxiously looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

At this time, behind a hidden slope three miles away from the dirt slope, 1,500 soldiers were lying in the shade of the trees and grass to recuperate, Tian Feng shook the folding fan lightly, and his eyes were firmly staring at the black and oppressive Black Mountain thief army under the dirt slope in the distance.

"Strategist, let's go up, General Zhang may be in danger if it's late!"

Beside him, a commander looked into the distance, the sword in his hand chopping the grass one by one, his face full of anxiety.

Tian Feng shook the folding fan lightly, with a touch of firm confidence on his face, he looked at the dozens of cooking smoke rising in the Black Mountain thief army, and said: "Don't worry, the thieves are burying the pot to cook, wait a while, wait for half an hour!" ”

In the sound of the thieves' urging, more than 2,000 homeless people slowly rushed forward, and could not help but admire the survival wisdom shown by these homeless people in the face of war.

Behind them, hundreds of thieves with crossbows followed the group, and as soon as they entered the range of the crossbows, they launched suppressive fire on the officers and troops on the breakthrough.

"Archers come forward! Get ready! Looking at the situation down the slope, his face was solemn, his right arm was raised, and the three hundred archers were divided into three rows, each row of one hundred people, and stood at the forefront across the spearman array! In front of them, it was the Black Mountain Bandit Army that was close to 3,000 people!

The range of the bow and arrow of the official army is about 120 steps, and the effective killing distance is 80 steps, but considering that the Black Mountain thieves are not armored, and they are now condescending, as long as they are shot by the bow and crossbow within 100 steps, they will lose their combat ability.

With open jaw and staring at the approaching Black Mountain thieves, he silently calculated the distance in his heart, and when he got close to a hundred steps, he burst out and shouted!

"Shoot the arrows!"

With his command, hundreds of arrows roared down the slope! The homeless people made a noise and rushed forward in a swarm, and after a while, a series of screams rang out among the thieves!

Only a rain of arrows, among the thieves, fifty or sixty people fell to the ground, among them there were still more than a dozen people who were shot to the vital point, a young man was shot in the throat by an arrow, he coughed up blood, and looked up at the sky with an unwilling face, but soon, that corner of the narrow sky was occupied by countless dirty soles.

"The second row comes forward and releases the arrows!" Less than five steps! The thieves ushered in the second wave of arrow rain, and dozens of thieves fell to the ground with arrows, there was no way, the Montenegrin thieves were eager to take the hillside, and the Montenegrin thieves under the hillside were almost crowded, and people were piled up.

"The third row comes forward!" Three hundred archers, constantly shooting at the thieves below, almost without any aim, one by one sharp arrows were shot, and a puff of blood mist surged up on the bodies of the thieves on the opposite side, staggering to the ground, screaming one after another!

These young and strong people who have never experienced the battle at all have experienced such a continuous baptism of arrow rain, the heavy pressure brought by death makes them have no time to breathe, many hungry and thirsty young people can't wear it in one breath, their eyes are dark, and they fall to the ground on the spot, just seven or eight waves of arrow rain, killing and injuring hundreds of people, two thousand black mountain refugees who rushed in front can no longer bear the fear in their hearts, I don't know who shouted, and fled backwards with a roll!

The people who rushed behind were already frightened at this time, they were reluctant to be hostile to such a strong officer and army, and when they saw someone fleeing, they also yelled and screamed, as if they collapsed, the front army suddenly exploded with a bang, leaving three or four hundred corpses, and the tide generally retreated backwards!

"A rabble!" Looking at the thieves retreating from Queen Cang, Zhang Jaw snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly ordered the archers to move their arms.

β€œnnd! Axeman! Come forward for me! Whoever dares to retreat, military law will deal with it! Seeing this, Li Damu slammed the bowl of broth in his hand to the ground, and the homeless man who had just brought the broth rushed up, picked up the hot piece of meat on the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of the fact that it was already covered with mud!

Li Damu was furious, kicked the skinny homeless man far away, and scolded fiercely.

Bai Que, who was eating next to him, smiled disdainfully and said: "Li Dashuai, attacking the mountain is not like you, the officials and soldiers have sharp bows and arrows, and they are moving the people forward, but it is just to increase casualties, uh, isn't it?" ”

Li Damu smiled proudly and said: "Bai Dashuai still has some eyesight, the official army is only six or seven hundred, how many arrows can be wasted, these homeless people can only waste food, even if there are thousands of eight hundred dead and wounded, what's the pity!" ”

Bai Que's face turned red, and he turned to the little handsome under his command and said, "Let the brothers eat quickly!" It's important to hurry up and save Yi Yang. ”

As he spoke, hundreds of Black Mountain Sword and Axe Men had already rushed forward, and the snow-bright head knife slashed at each other, and hundreds of great heads fell to the ground!
